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.

*furrows at eyebrows*
...Let me think Val.
No. No.No.No.NO.NO.NO.NO.
*puts hands out in front of me* Ok, sorry. But it is an educational song.
I published an acceptably long comment.
Sorry Val.
*starts humming and air drumming 'Iris'*
*finishes and pulls out the Magnum Pistol*
Zath, don't give her the OC yet, she hasn't finished mine yet...
*shrugs*
I want her to draw me!
Sparky, look at the words to the horrible song:
Oh my name's Napoloeon Booooonaparte and have I got a deal for you,
I'm in danger of being blooooown apart, so I make this appeal to you...
My comment dissapeared on Your and Alfreds!
I said considering.
Don't put any OC's there until she posts about it.
Then post it again.
I did
I am,
Doing the best I can,
With everything I am...
i'll be back in 15 minutes
*looks at Nix, completely red with anger*
She. Hasn't. Read. SP. Yet.
REMOVE THAT COMMENT NOW.
*pulls Nix back*
NOW.
Blood and Bone.
*clenches fists*
Nixion Strange, when you get back...
What did Nixion do?
He didn't do anything, Dylan. Don't worry.
*lies back in hammock*
Sparky, you realize that his OC has nothing about SP at all, really.
And Nix, she would only need his appearance.
*flinches* there's a fly buzzing around in my room.
Did my pic change...?
*kills fly*
It did. I honestly like it better with no picture.
*smiles and sits back* Thank you.
FINALLY!
Bloody hell, it took long enough.
-Slaps blogger with bad pair of sunglasses-
Bad Blogger. BAD!
Eve, you should see the video of when there was a bug in my older brother's room... he crawed out of the room... and I secretly video taped :)
Haha. That must have been funny to watch.
Skype message Val...
We were all coughing though because he sprayed too much stuff so he could kill the bug...
JUST DO IT VAL!
I can't bear the waiting...
*sighs*
THIS IS SO COOL!!!
And weird...
Don't forget weird...
Ah. Okay.
*throws a grape in mists direction*
*climbs up tree* What's wrong, Mist?
...I'm just listening-
OH F*CK.
back
NIX!!!
*tackles him*
Hi nix
... is that a good tackle or a bad tackle?
This is a possible book cover for my book.
[My profile pic]
Bad tackle.
Delete the comment.
Now.
NOW!!!
what comment?
The comment on Alfred's blog.
SORRY!
SORRY!
SORRY!!!
FirsT!
Uh...
Oops...
Third Fourth Fith?
uhhh
where's the delete button?
Oh my God Sparky that was awesome!
Back for real now.
*remembers something and laughs*
As my mom and I were getting our tickets, the man at the desk asked how old I was. And I forgot! I seriously forgot for a moment what my age was!
For a second, I thought I was 13... then kept thinking higher. :P
*face palms* That was an embarrassing moment.
Do you like the picture?
*looks*
...There isn't one...
DAMN YOU ALFRED!!!
Why anyway?
Hi lav.
Mist?
LAV! I finally got the profile picture thingymajig to work. I spanked the Blogger for being naughty...
Gotta go.
Bye.
Now I'm sorry,
That I left you,
I can't go back,
I can't change anything...
oh, and kai, your latest post, there's no picture there, just a blank white thing
Looks cool Jasper. :)
There you are. You okay?
Bye Jasper.
Bye kai
Yeah, I'm fine. *smiles at her*
Because I didn't want anyone to post their OC's yet!
Sorry.
Why?
Hehehe... Sparky me and amanda were on Skype! Not video chatting, though, just talking... IT WAS AWESOME!
*smiles back*
I wasn't really saying anything.
But listening to you guys was...
Odd.
Well, that conversation was more normal than our average conversation... there wasn't even any dolphin noises involved.
*arches eyebrow*
Dear Golden God, you really are insane.
Sparky, I might be able to Skype you tomorrow morning...
Just you wait till Amanda and I argue about something.
*thinks for a moment*
Only if there's video.
Talking to someone you've never met before and not being able to see what they're doing is...
Very strange.
*looks in Val's direction*
Very strange.
Wouldn't you expect that from two insane girls?
Sorry, I've been quiet lately...
Sparky, can I have your Skype name? I couldn't find you before... or you can have mine.
lavender.hope
Val, what is your Skype Name?
Your.worst.nightmare98
I'm barely on, though...
I'm online on Skype now. Just so you know.
Yes.
But still.
Not even MY friends are that bad.
And yesterday, two of them came up to me and said:
'The Year Sevens are PROSTITUTES!'
No joke, they actually did.
*growls*
I hate people who do that...
Uh.
There are two of you Lav.
One is:
lavender.hope
And the other is:
hope.lavendar
Hate people who do what Zath?
lavender.hope is mine.
I have the same picture as now.
Hi people!
Just reading through the comments!
Wait, Sparky, I'm confused with this blog conversation...
Hi star
Hi Star. :)
Heya Ink.
Sent Lav...
Hate people who give year sevens sh*t.
Hehehe... Harry Potter looks weird.
Hey Sparky, did you hear the part when me and Amanda were arguing if someone looked like Ivy or not?
Well, Zath, you should've seen the Year Sevens.
They were wearing dress that mostly but not quite covered their butts, and fishnet stockings.
And that means you should call them prostitutes?
@Val Yes...ish.
*shakes head*
NO! I WILL BE DISTANT!
http://insidesparkybraginskishead.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/l4d-continued.html
And it doesn't make me feel any better about it considering I'm in Year Seven.
*raises hand timidly* I'm in year seven too.
Sparky, what year would I be in?
Star, you still didn't answer to my Skype request...
Are you able to now, or will you try later?
I'm in year-
*thinks for a sec*
I think 9? Maybe...
No wait! Ten! I mean year ten!
MY FREIND'S ARE MEAN!
Hayley and Alfred don't bash Year Sevens, nor do I, because we know it's mean.
My other friends...
They eat too much sugar, and are uncomfortably insensitive towards people I like who aren't them.
The two that made the Year Seven comment, I try to avoid those two as much as possible, to be honest.
It's just, Alfred and Hayley were both away yesterday, so I had to sit with them.
I hadn't sat with them for a whole term,and some of the things they said took me by surprise.
Val you would be in Seven or Eight.
I'm in Nine, so...
...And explain to me again why you're their friends, then...?
*thinks*
So, Sparky, year sevens at your school are in high school?
What about you, Val?
*waves hand*
Never mind. I don't want to know.
*turns away and continues with assignment*
I'd better go... or else Amanda will chuck another donut at my face...
Bye! I'll be back!
The year 7 are my school are evil
Last year was alright. This year are EVIL!
Um...
I gtg now... might be on tomorrow, but not sure... I'll try... maybe...
...
Night guys.
Where I am, in America, I'm in the seventh grade, but it's different than in other countries...
Amanda has the donuts... BYE!
*puts a grape on Mists work*
*puts a grape on Val's head*
*puts a grape on Lavs hand*
*puts a grape on sparky's foot*
...
I don't know why I'm friends with four people from them...
The other five are alright.
*picks up the grape and puts it a little right on my chest*
Alfred throws a grape at me every single day.
This is where it hit me on Thursday.
She throws them at everyone, in a different order each day.
It's very funny.
*steps on the grape*
*throws an oven at nix*
Bye lav and backwards lav!
Bye Lav and Val!
*brushes grape away impatiently*
I want to get this out of the way so I can start talking properly again.
*goes back to work and resists urge to punch something*
I didn't give you the grape do you could step on it.
i want to be able to put up Nix and Mist before monday...
...okesy. *tunes didgeridoo*
*slams assignment down and leaps out of tree*
That's wonderful, Nix! Only I have an assignment to do that would probably be finished by now if I didn't keep getting distracted here. So now, I'm leaving for an hour or so. I'll finish off the f*cking assignment and I'll do the f*cking Nix and Mist chapter.
*vanishes*
*arches eyebrow, then rolls eyes*
*shrinks substantially*
I have FINALLY read all the comments from today.
I LOVE the holidays . . .
well...okay then
*is singing 'Someone Like You' very quietly, while drawing in the dirt with the barrel of the Magnum Pistol*
*lOoks at ground for a while*
*shyly goes back to tuning didgeridoo*
*ia creating inky pictures*
*looks up facts for didgeridoo*
....oh.
*puts didgeridoo away*
*starts tuning rango*
What's a rango?
im so bored
*wipes out the drawing with one hand and starts drawing with fingers*
*leaves gun on ground next to me, pointed at me*
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G_ctFbLwC5I/TDVDHB0v0bI/AAAAAAAACEo/lEZZEo2NozE/s1600/Picture+1.png
That's what a rango is.
My iPod is running out of charge. I'm going to leave it to charge for a while. Bye!
Bye Eve
Bye Eve.
*still drawing*
>sigh<
I suppose i'll have to write someting else
Hey Nix, do you reckon Blogland would have generic wildlife?
Like lizards that walk on something if you leave it somewhere or something?
hmmm
Maybe. Depends what area, i reackon
Near the forest-ish area.
Sitting on dirt.
Remarkably like where I am.
Blogland has armadillos
Yeah. I think there would be wildlife there
back so soon
*raises eyebrows*
brb
Because I remembered something, I'm back for a second.
Today is...*cough*Earth Hour*cough*...so that means that I'm going to have to shut off all power at 8:30. Which is in 3 and half hours. That's actually a long way away so never mind.
Assignment has been finished and I'm up to the "He was sitting the corner, alone. He had no interest in making plans" blah blah.
8:30...*looks at clock* okay.
*is reading through the new posts on all the blogs i follow*
Just going to sparky's, now . . .
Yeah, I just came up with the brightest idea ever thought of. I'll talk while it's charging.
Thanks Ink.
back
Nix, email.
Now.
Huh.
About the wildlife, it's interesting.
Because a rather large lizard is about to step onto my gun...
*edges out of the spot that the bullet would fly through*
*laughs*
My fingers are literally flying to the keys. I'm not looking down at them and I'm typing so damn fast...that happens sometimes but only when I really don't ever need it.
*looks at sentence and nods head appreciatively*
Favourite sentence in HG:
"So I let the train rock me into oblivion."
I need to right a book report on a book. I've already done SP, so i need another. I could do:
Gone
Percy Jackson
Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
Changeling
HIVE
Jimmy Coates
If got more books, but i think those would be easiest
So whcih one should i do?
Are you reading it?!
*looks up at Mist* Are you back now?
Yeah, I'm up to the part where Katniss has been rocked into oblivion. By the train.
*dives to the side as the lizard sets off my gun*
*looks at the lizard and snarls, then shocks it and picks up the gun*
Nearly killed me you stupid thing.
*sets the lizard onto its feet and watches it 'stagger' away*
The poor lizard.
No one got anything to say?
Yes, I'm back now...
Yay. :)
...That's such a sad video...
what is?
Y'know what makes me happy?
The fact that I named a character from my story Stephanie and none of you have complained.
Oh, the Trailer for Dead Island.
The forward version is really depressing...
okay
*shrugs*
Not our place to complain. It's your story.
I watched this trailor for a movie, and it said
"I thought you said i didn't play well with others."
*goes to a scene where he is kneeing a team member in the face*
*shrugs* I have a cousin called Stephanie. It's just a name.
PERCY JACKSON!
Wow, l4d is surrounding me on all sides and closing in . . .
The way this is going, i'll be an expert on it without ever having played it!
Both yours and alfred are really good though sparky:)
Thanks Ink.
*alfreds
*thinks*
It sounds stupid, but a few of the songs from Seussical the Musical are really good.
That brings the number of blogs i'm following up to . . .
A big number.
Wow, is it eight twenty??? Where HAS the time gone?
Bb in 15
*looks at Collab. Effort*
Did anyone even read the story I put up there?
i read it
You put a story up there?! *goes to read story*
You've already read the first part of it though, Eve.
...Where did everyone go...?
Gotta go, BYE!!!
