After a bizarrely warm November, it's starting to get pretty cold indeed around these parts. Christmas decorations are everywhere. Shopping queues are getting longer. This morning I heard "Merry Christmas (The War is Over)" on the radio- the first Christmas song I've heard in 2011. And a few days ago I posted a TON of cards and letters to readers who had written to me- so it is OFFICIALLY close to Christmas. I can now safely announce it.
You may rejoice.
And the competition winners may ALSO rejoice, because the books I have to sign have finally arrived. I'll sign them all this weekend, have them ready to be picked up on Monday or Tuesday, and then hopefully you'll be getting your prizes over the next few weeks. It'd be cool if you could get them BEFORE Christmas, so that's what we're working towards.
There's still a lot of work going on in my house. I'm getting one of the rooms refurbished- COMPLETELY redesigning it- as well as the kitchen redone, and that's been going on since the start of October. Basically, it means a lot of noise and hassle and interruptions, so I haven't been able to focus on Book Seven, which I really would have liked to have started by now. But hey, I'm not worried. My house is going to RULE when it's all finished, because finally I'll have a proper place to store my toys.
A lot of you may not know this, but I love toys. I collect movie memorabilia and props and stuff, and also comic-book statues. To give you an idea of the kind of things I'm talking about, here are a few action figures...
... and a rather large Iron Man (I've put a book beside him to give you an idea of scale)...
Oh, and here's a 12 inch figure of Sweeny Todd about to give a 12 inch Ichabod Crane a very close shave...
Boy oh boy do I love toys...
As you can imagine, my place is full of equipment boxes right now, so I'm going to leave you with a picture of one of my cats- Pooper- doing what cats love best: clambering into cardboard boxes for no apparent reason.

«Oldest ‹Older 3201 – 3400 of 4817 Newer› Newest»I feel like playing Skyrim...I haven't played in a LONG while....a LONG, LONG, while...
Go play it then. Go on and play your precious Skyrim and leave me to do my assignment. Go on. Leave.
*grins*
*laughs* I'm not leaving. If I'm going to play Skyrim, I'm going to talk to you at the same time. :D
Bye.
Bye, Sparky.
*grins at Eve*
NIXION SNOWFLAKE STRANGE. ARE YOU FINISHED WITH THE CHAPTER YET?
DON'T ASK WHY THESE IN ALL IN CAPITALS. I JUST...*SHRUGS*...FEEL LIKE IT.
Bye Sparky
And Mistypants? Almost done
OKAY.
...DON'T CALL ME THAT.
Bye Sparky.
*shakes head* Skyrim is the only place I can throw sharp things around and kill people and slaughter dragons. The only place I can break the rules. I killed a live chicken in this game. Yeah, I'm a bad girl.
CAPS LOCK IS GOING OFF NOW.
There. Normality!
*gasps at Nix*
YOU KILLED A LIVE CHICKEN IN SKYRIM?!
...Well done.
Don't call me snowflake, or snow, or anything like that
Or asteriod
Yay!
...some people call it normalcy. That's not normal.
Yeah. But as soon as I killed it, everyone came running after me and yelling at me and throwing fists at me and slashing me with knives. I didn't survive.
you can kill a person, but god forbid you kill a chicken
*starts laughing*
The poor chicken...
WHAT?! WHY AM I LISTENING TO THE BEETLES?!!!
Yellow Submarine...going mad...Beetles...What...?
Yeah. You know, the game counts how many bunnies you slaughter.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
*stares at Mist* You...the Beetles? But...
WHY DO I EVEN HAVE THIS ON ITUNES?!
HOW DID IT GET THERE?
HOOOOOOOOOOW?!
WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
*shakes head slowly* I don't know who you are anymore...
Mist...please....don't do this...
OH. MY. GOSHNESS.
I forgot how epic the intro music is.
This chapter is disgusting
Aw, it's starting again. Well, better start the game...
*presses START*
maybe i should tune it down...
But it's too epic!
It's not epic... this is based on a childrens thing, and i have...
Probably not suitable
What do you mean by disgusting?
I was talking about the epic intro music. :D
Not suitable themes... i have brains melting out of someones ears...
Remember, if you make it too icky, it becomes ridiculous. Brains melting out of ears...gimme the sentence.
Blood was pooling out of them, but not only blood. His brain had melted.
Eep! It's starting! :D
Where did mist go?
wondering the same thing
you know what, im not having that. I'll just say he died
Huh. Okay. I have no problem with gore and stuff, so...
Oh. My. Goshness. Graphics are amazing in this game. Skyrim is so beautiful...makes earth look like a ball of crap.
What? Why am I holding an Elven Swird of Binding? Oh, that's right. Stupid Draugr Overlord used his Unrelenting Force to knock my much better sword out of my hands and I couldn't find it. I hate Draugr.
*hears flapping of giant wings* Is that...a dragon?
*sees dragon* I'll be right back. *takes out bow*
*shoots an arrow at dragon*
*misses*
*watches dragon fly away*
Dammit.
*sees animal*
Wolf? Sabre Cat?
...
Coyote.
Hello.
Hi Sparrrky! Guess what I'm doing?
MIST!
Yo, Eve?
Remember what you said to me about Narrator Smurf being killed by his family?
*gazes at moon*
Skyrim has two moons. One of which is absolutely humongous.
Mist...:(
First?
First.
Yeah...
Take the hint please.
MIST EMAIL!
Oh. Right. That doesn't apply to me, coz I'm not narrating. I'm COMMENTING on how UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL Skyrim IS.
Besides, nothing important is happening, so I am allowed.
Bye!
Bye Sparky
Bye sparky.
*is standing on the edge of the bridge*
I don't wanna jump.
then don't jump
But I need to be adventurous. If I can't jump off a bridge, what CAN I do?
You know, I once jumped of a cliff, and I didn't die. Or lose health.
But there are Slaughterfish in the water....
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
You know what? I'm not jumping.
*moves away*
*is actually moving forward*
*lands in water with a light 'plup'*
Miiiiist!
In Skyrim, you're either too cautious to do anything risky, or you just approach everything with a happy-go-lucky attitude.
Hi Mist!
Brb
*vanishes*
Back!
Mist!!
... why do you keep leaving and comming back? The comming back part's good, but the leaving part isn't
I was having lunch.
Why did he leave?!
Mist is doing work, and editing mine
He just vanished then!
he's doing work
Oh...okay.
That's not why I left.
I'm going now though. Lunch.
*walks off*
Told you, Nix!
Why did he leave then?
Cause you left, i suppose
I don't think so.
I'm at Amanda's now! Yay!
Oh, and hello.
Hi val
:(
Val? Okay, hi Val
Hi eve
(And yeah, it's Val)
Mm.
Is Sparky still here?
I think so.
it's so creepy that Amanda's 10 year old brother is in love with me... *shudders*
:(
*waits*

*frowns*
*carves in "Rawr"*

*vanishes*

Mist!
*sulks*
kenichi wa
*storms in*
It's conichiwa
Sparky!
Why did you leave? Why are you angry?
*storms out*
sparky come back!
*storms back in*
*kicks the Rawr tree*
*punches a kicking bag*
*storms into tree-house*
Sparky I need to bug you! Come on!
*sighs angrily and sits on ground*
*follows most into treehouse*
*stomps into room and sits on bed*
*follows mist and sits next to him*
Whats wrong? What happened?
*calls on Skype*
Busy? Busy? How can she be busy?
*shrugs*
Not sure...
Amanda threw a donut at my eye!
*looks at Eve*
*looks at Mist* Are you sure you're not sure?
Pretty sure.
Donut throw food!
Haha.
That was the most solid donut ever... I can't even tell if I have a black eye, so...
So you're not sure at all?
Probably not.
...
*hugs Eve suddenly*
...
*hugs back*
I love you...sorry...
I love you too, Mist. You dont have to be sorry. I just wanted to know what was wrong.
And I don't even know what's wrong...
*releases her and stares at the door*
*looks at the door*
*looks at Mist*
*looks at the door*
?
*grins*
*smiles, still confluffed*
Confuzzled has gotten old.
Amanda's brother is so annoying...
*laughs*
Does he really fancy you?
*grins at Val* Just wait til valentines day.
Does calling Amanda and having him scream, "I LOVE YOU BELLA V!" not count as fancying me?
...No, I think that qualifies.
It's creepy
I wouldn't know. I've never had a ten year old who fancies me
*laughs*
*sees frost troll*
*slashes him to ribbons*
Don't bug me!
*is a wolf*
*looks at Mist the Wolf
*is a werewolf*
*is a wolf that is better than a werewolf*
*is a whywolf*
And now I'm on a laptop.
No wolf is better than a werewolf! I am a Companion!
And whywolves are even worse then werewolfs
*sees full moon*
Awooooooooo!
Werewolves stink
*snarls at Val*
*scrapes "Wolves are better than all" into ground with claws*
*"Because that's how good I am" afterwards*
Hunter's are the best ever.
Val, I'm really, really, really sorry...
*rolls eyes* Wolves aren't that great.
*"They're better than Whywolves and Werewolves"*
Val? You agree. Whywolves are the best
I don't even know what a whywolf is.
*scribbles all over writing with claws*
*terrorises villiage*
*is wearing awesome sunglasses*
*grips Zath by his neck*
Nothing is better than a Hunter.
*squeezes*
Ya got that?
Brb
Whywolve? A creature possed by the spirit of inquiry and bloodlust?
I thought you watched Adventure Time
http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/324/c/0/L4D___The_Witch_by_IsisMasshiro.jpg
I'm back from the movies! :D
It was fun. :)
...
But I have to take my shower now...
I'll come back. Bye again!
*"Never said anything was. I said that Wolves are better than Whywolves and Werewolves. Maybe you should start reading things more carefully before hurting animals."*
Oh.
Oops.
Sorry.
*drops him*
*growls at Sparky*
that's funny
*dials RSPCA number menacingly*
*lands and shakes fur like a wet dog*
*scratches back of self's ear with hind leg*
*howls*
Just waitin' for Val to get back...
Mist? where you up too in the chapter?
*"Like...three sentences in."*
great
Youy realise that i won't be here tomorrow?
If you want it up, it has to be today
My name in Skyrim is Ezvelyn. :D
Ezvelyn the Werewolf Companion Imperial Dragon-Born.
*kicks wall and yells at my school's History department*
HOW AM I MEANT TO DO THAT!?!?
YOU NEVER LET US WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY!!!!
Wait, make that
Ezvelyn the Werewolf Companion Imperial Dragon-Born Philanthropist.
*is human again*
Nix, I'm never going to finish it today.
*curses Art Assignment*
yeah, but i have to go over it again
Nix, do I have to highlight what I change? I've never done that before.
The only reason I ask you to do it is because after I edit it, you normally add a very tiny amount to the chapter. Because of that, it's hard to see the changes sometimes and it makes it easier to check for errors and such.
Please? It's really annoying.
... fine, you don't have to
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
*goes on a random happy spree thing*

*sees sun*
*is human*
*hums Sorry*
Sent a response, Sparky
*hums and air drums to 'Semi-Charmed Life'*
Thank Val.
*smiles, closes eyes and keeps air drumming*
It is a pretty good song.
It is. *nods head to Whole World's Crazy*
And the whole world IS crazy.
