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.

*Epic Smiley Face Moment*
-Blushes bashfully-
I try...

He's probably making the picture. I can practically vow that it will be better than mine...
Not nessessarily!

^^^ Justin Bieber gets owned by Beethoven!
Okay. *goes back to watching Real Steel*

Sorry, I can't watch that right now, Lynxia. What is it?
K, will go see...
I'm making Dylan's book cover. Sorry.
Epic Rap Battle of History. I love them!
Commented.
...Hello?
Oh okay. *smiles*
Lynxia, I thought it was that! I haven't seen this one, but I love Mr T versus Mr Rodgers!
Hi Sparrrrky!
Hi, Sparky!
Hi sparky! Hi mist!
Hey Sparky!
Yeah that one is good! I like Chuck Norris vs Abe Lincoln.
I missed all of Earth Hour!
Ha. Yeah. He hunts sharks when he smells them bleed. :D
What's that?
What's what?
Yeah.
'You may have freed the slaves but Chuck is everyone's master!'
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!
What's Earth Hour?
*arches eyebrow*
You're kidding.
*pokes Shadow*
You don't know what Earth Hour is.
Google it.
First?
First?
OK. To Google!!!
Is it this WWF thing? Because we did something like this with Four Paws...
WHAT. IS. EARTH HOUR???
Are you serious? I thought this thing was worldwide.
Nope. I've never heard of it either.
*gapes*
Guess it's an Aussie thing...
That's what I though Eve.
Earth Hour is HUGE!
Lynxia will dedicate, as she has dedication rights.
*hands dedication right to Shadow*
What?! Why won't you dedicate? *holds dedication in hand*
But it isn't an Aussie thing!
THEY DO EARTH HOUR IN OVER 160 COUNTRIES, HOW CAN ENGLAND NOT BE ONE OF THEM!?
I have now read the first two maximum ride books.
Apparently, only the first three are any good.
Exactly! It's like...EARTH.
Because people overlook England because it's so small.
I dunno.
We ARE one the other side of the world.
I don't have anything-
Wait.
*snatches back the dedication rights*
My precious...
*on
*looks at Sparky* 0_o
Awwwww! That's such a happy ending! *claps*
*puts on Gollem voice* Sparky must have the dedication rightsez.
Now i have nothing to do except this and my story . . .
We are going to the library this holidays. I have decided. First morning, and i've alrrady finished both my books (although i started last night).
This is not good.

*adds lord of the rings to To Read List*
Youve never seen The Lord Of The Rings? But...
I've never seen or read Lord Of The Rings.

It's so sad how I can quote this... Need to go now! Bye!
Ultimate comeback line:
I'll put a slug between your shoulder blades!
Back!
Hi star!
I just finished reading AF yesterday.
And i didn't put KOTW and Mark of Athena on my wishlist because it's impossible to read them at the mo.
Back.
But very likely not for long...
Hi sparky
Hi Eve.
*pulls out Magnum*
I love this thing.
*points it at myself, then Eve and then pauses*
Can you hear that?
*turns 180 degrees and shoots as a scream fills the air*
*sees Hunter land on the ground, dead*
That, could have been bad.
Hi sparky!
Hi Ink.
It COULD'VE been bad, we're it not for werewolves being awesome
...er.....
*scowls*
Hunter trumps all.
*points gun at random things*
No. Cthulhu trumps all. Don't deny THAT.
I just did.
Wolf are better than werewolves.
Wat better.
No offense.
I don't know much about whywolves, so i can't offer you an opinion on that.
Hey Eve, could you do me a favour?
*way
*narrows eyes at Sparky and Star* you both sicken me. SICKEN! ME! LASAGNE!!!
Sure, what is it?
Lasagne!
Hm. Cthulhu or hunters?
Umm . . . Let me think.
PIE!
Great!
*hands Eve the Magnum*
I want you to shoot me.
*strokes Magnum poshly* And what do I get in return?
...oh wait, it's a favour. Damn.
*aims gun at Sparky* Ready?
*stares at sparky, shocked*
(Btw, i love white magnums the ice lolly.)
EVE! DON'T DO IT!
EVEN THOUGH I AM 90% CERTAIN SHE DOESN'T WANT TO KILL HERSELF:
*looks back at Eve*
Yup.
They aren't blanks by the way, solid lead.
It'll kill me.
But you do get something in return.
It'll shut me up.
*winks*
*! Not :
*tackles Eve and knocks the gun away*
NO! SPARKY, EVE, NO!
Hi zathract.
*takes the gun, stands up and turns to Sparky*
You told me to stop you or anyone else that tried to kill you a long time ago. I'm still doing that.
*relaxes stance and scowls at Zath*
You have to ruin everything, don't you?
Hi, Star. I've been here for hours, just so you know.
*sighs* Fine. *pulls trigger*
*puts gun on table*
Hi! *hugs Mist*
Yup!
Thank you zath.
I was pulling an imaginary trigger then.
Oh. Right.
*sits down*
You were too late Eve.
*glares at eve and sparky*
*tosses gun back to Sparky*
Consider that a favour. Don't kill yourself.
Indeed I was. That was my plan all along.
Don't, sparky.
Val would murder us for letting you do it.
Pfft.
You know I can't.
That's why I asked someone else to do it.
So close.
*looks at the gun*
Oh well.
There's always a next time.
Val'll end up murdering us all anyway.
And that's why I ended up giving it back to you.
NO, THERE WON'T BE!
NOT IF WE HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!
*sighs* thanks a lot, Mist. Now I'll never get to use my Ressurrection Toolkit.
Zath knows.
*thinks and tosses the gun at him*
Though I think it would be for the best to keep that away from me for a little while.
*pulls out Glock*
*nods*
Okay. *takes gun*
Which gun?
Magnum or Glock?
Hey. Put the Glock away.
...That rhymed...
*hums Talkin To Myself*
*points the gun at Zath mockingly*
*points it at my own foot*
What if...

. . . That song has an annoying habit of sticking in your head . . .
SPARKY, DON'T.
JUST DON'T.
*looks at Sparky*
...Why are you doing this?
*looks at Ink, eyebrows raised*
Why do you people CARE so much?
Why am I doing what?
And just so you know, I wouldn't shoot you if my life depended on it. Meaning that if you did point that gun at me, I'd let you shoot me without doing anything.
Why are you trying to get people to shoot you?
Because....
I don't know.
*lies on the grass*
It's just....
*nods*
Why are you doing what?
Messing around with guns. Trying to get shot.
Why we people care?
Because you're our friend, sparky.
*raises hand* I wouldn't let you shoot me. Don't shoot me.
I'm not going to shoot anyone.
Unless you're a zombie.
I wouldn't recommend being a zombie near me.
I wouldn't let ANY of the minions get shot.
Friend.
*has that word crashing through my head*
No.
The only people in blogland i would let get shot are people like that calumn. Who isn't a minion.
*thinks*
I know what it is.
But it's fairly-
Actually, it's huge, but...
*shakes head and goes back to reading*
*looks concerned* i hope it doesn't vrash into anything vital, like your brain.
You are our friend, sparky.
*shakes head*
No.
Look, Sparky, no one wants you to die. That's obviously beyond our control but none of us are going to kill you.
If you're going to tell us what's wrong then tell us, if not then don't.
*goes back to making Dylan's book cover*
*laughs*
Gah! Finally! Done!
*looks at work*
Y'know what's sad?
When I get like this, everyone is stopping me, but when Flame shot himself in the head, no one batted an eyelid.
That makes me feel loved.
It also makes me feel empty.
But mostly empty.
. . . Sparky, i think you might have gone slughtly more insane than you usually are.
*shrugs*
This is an emptier, colder version of me.
Can I see it, Mist?
...
For crying out loud.
the difference between you and Flame is one second he was fine, the next he had shot himself.
With you, you're trying to get other people to do these things for you. You drag it out and give people TIME to stop you. Flame did everything in one comment. No one had any time to stop him.
Now stop being like that and give me feedback on the cover I made for Dylan.
http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff372/NeoZathier/KaiOblivionCover.png
I CARED WHEN FLAME SHOT HIMSELF!
AND NOBODY YELLED AT HIM COZ HE WENT AND DISAPPEARED IMMEDIENTLY AFTERWARDS!
*is still lying on the grass*
*turns my head and looks down the barrel of the Glock*
*sighs longingly*
One day.
It's cool Zath.
*makes 'aaah' sound* that is so cool, Mist.
*points to mists long comment and speaks quietly* that's exactly what I was going to say.
*rolls eyes*
I've had enough. This is stupid. Get someone to kill yourself then, if it means so much to you. I mean, after all, it isn't as though you think anyone will CARE, is it? Let's see, you only have all of blogland as your friend, a boyfriend who loves you and Derek already knowing you on a first name basis.
Go ahead and kill yourself via blogland and never see us again. ^I'm sure you won't be missed.^
*rolls eyes again*
I'll be on email for anyone who wants to talk to me that isn't feeling suicidal.
Thank you people who like it.
*vanishes*
I know this is provs a bad moment, but . . .
Bbl
*goes to email*
*reads the comment Zath posted*
*picks up the gun and chucks it into the lake*
*sits down shakily and holds head in hands*
Sparky, mist is just frustrated. I am too. We don't want you to kill yourself. We don't come here to watch you try.
I closed the comment window by accident.
*looks up at Eve*
It's there Eve. It's twisting up inside me. Tearing me to shreds from the inside out.
Guilt.
Guilt for what, exactly? You're not doing anything to anyone. You're doing this to yourself.
Guilt for behaving like this.
Why should I be allowed to behave like this?
It doesn't make anyone any happier.
*raises hands and drops them* if you actually started liking at the good things in life, we wouldn't have this problem.
*looking
*nearly sobs*
What good things?
School? Nope.
Trombone? Nope.
Skating? Hardly.
Is there anything else? No.
Okay, Sparky, I'm back.
But now I have to go. Be back in five.
And don't feel bad please.
*starts pokemin platinum on ds*
*grins* i haven't played this in, what, a year?
*savours every sound of starting music*
Oh pokemon platinum, i have missed you so much, and never even realised it until now . . .
What about Flame?
Friends?
...Uh...
Left 4 Dead? Writing?
Sleep?
Thanks for coming back Zath.
Mt iTouch is going to die any second now.
Before I vanish, I want to ask if anyone recalls me saying that I hate depressing people.
I wonder if you guys can but two and two together.
*stops grinning*
Us? Are we good things?
Wait...You thought you were depressing us so you were going to kill yourself to stop that, but in turn that would depress us more creating a paradox?
Or is that completely wrong...?
Sparky, all this depression is really yeaching me stuff.
Seriously. If you want, i can even write a list
It's probably wrong.
1. You have your own character in a story written by Derek Landy because he looked at your entry and saw your talent.
2. You have 30 odd people following your blog.
3. You have squillions of friends here.
4. Val came back.
5. Phoenix.
Flame: Never met him.
Friends: Just too complicated.
Left 4 Dead: Video game I've never played.
Writing: Mum's starting to bug out at me for writing too much.
Sleep: I NEVER GET ANY.
Im not confident with the laws of a paradox, Mist. It seems like something tricky though. :)
*sighs*
I'm out of ideas...What about Derek and Skulduggery?
*reads Eve's comment and smiles weakly*
Those are good things.
*scowls at self*
See? You're wasting energy trying to make me feel better! Wouldn't you rather be doing something else?
Yeah, I think you misunderstood me when I said LOOK AT THE GOOD THINGS.
Don't go into paradoxes.
I hate depressing people.
I am a depressing people.
Can you tell now?
Oh, we'll there you go. I'm final succeeding. Sparky, good thing: I AM TRYING. Stop it with the why.
