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.

Sparky, you have met flame. Just not been actually near him when you met.
If you only think of things that you haven't got
You could have it all and still never have enough
So don't worry (don't worry), be happy (be happy)
And if you're trying to make a move
But you're stuck in mud, under water
And you don't know which way's up
Yeah, don't worry (don't worry), be happy (be happy)
Sparky, we don't hate you.
I need to go.
Bye.
Bye sparky.
Don't kill yourself.
Bye Sparky.
*sits on couch and pulls must next to self*
*MIST. IT'S MIST FOR GODS SAKE!!
*stops smiling* My mum just said "stop talking to people you don't know." that's the second time this week.
...
Oh well. She was saying it lightheartedly anyway.
*falls down onto couch*
Bye, Sparky!
What?!
*sits up suddenly*
*shakes head* she wasn't saying it like she was going to talk about later. She just wants me to stop going on my iPod all the time.
Oh, okay.
*stays there for a minute, then sits back again and relaxes*
*smiles and sits back*
*starts stroking her hair and smiles at her*
*smiles back* How was your Earth Hour?
Full of candles an uneventful stuff.
*laughs* Last time I lit a candle, I just about burnt myself. *frowns* twice.
Aw. I didn't light the candles though. I have to light the Bunsen Burner in science every time we use it though, and I love the look of fire, so I'm pretty used to it...
Well, at least you don't have to use matches.
...
Or do you?
Yeah, I do.
Oh, okay. I don't like matches. Matches don't like me. It's complicated, in a simple sort of way. *nods wisely*
*nods*
I'm back properly now.
Ah. Good. :)
*looks at clock* Midnight.
Half last midnight for me. :)
Yeah, I know. *grins* Normally, mum would be saying "I'm turning off the Internet" and all that, but she's already gone to bed and dad isn't telling me to go to bed, so...
:D
Yay! *grins*
*thinks*
*checks calender*
*looks at Mist*
Pinch and a punch.
Argh!
I forgot!!
*grins* Haha. I was just thinking about April and stuff...
*laughs* it's April Fools Day!
So it is...*groans*
Damn. Dad is turning off the Internet now. :(
I'll see you in the morning...oh. In a few hours.
*kisses Eve softly*
Goodnight!!
Goodnight, Mist. *kisses back*
Better go to sleep now too. Night, blogland!
Wait. I'm here for a second...
Hi :)
You need to get first.
Okay. :)
Firstereno
Firstereno
*grins*
I dedicate this page to bananas! And NOT Mist!
April Fools!
That was so lame...
I dedicate this page to Mist! I love you! Only 11 pages ahead!
Hey, I just metcha,
And this is craaaazy,
But here's my number,
So call me maybe...🎵
*laughs and hugs her*
Thank you, Eve! I love you too.
*hugs back* I love you more.
Impossibwal!!
Damn. Must go again. Night!
*kisses Eve and vanishes*
It's not Impossibwal! I think about you all the time. I think about you every second of the day, and nothing distracts me. Not even the Hunger Games,
Night Mist! *kisses back*
Okay, so I'll leave again. Fill this page with your nonsense, and pinches and punches to everyone who is celebrating april today! See you in a couple of hours!
*bursts into oblivion*
It's april tomorrow for me . . .
Hi, empty blogland.
Still here . . .
Will still be here until i say otherwise . . .
Is Sparky still here?
Nope. Hi, val!
Nobody's been on this whole hour!
She's gone? Poo.
Hi
She was trying to get us to kill her . . .
Anyone here?
Hi jakro!
Amanda... are you val?
Hi ink
Yep. It's val.
I think.
We were telling sparky that we couldn't kill her because val would murder us.
Yeah, I'm Val. I'm, you know, torturing Amanda by making her listen to weird music on my ipod.
ha... you enjoy vals story, right?
*looks stern* Trying to make your friends commit murder so you don't have to commit suicide is no laughibg matter.
And yeah, i enjoy val's stories:)
I enjoy my stories too!
Sorry, I felt like saying something.
So what if i made an 'Ivy Animosity' video game
You couldn't for two reasons:
1. It isn't done yet.
2. You'd need my permission
2b. I'd have to help make it
*blinks*
YOU COULD DO THAT?????
I take val's points, but it WOULD be awesome . . .
@val: I would make it level by level, it isnt a fast process. Of course you could help.
@ink: of course i can. I'm the doctor
@val: I would make it level by level, it isnt a fast process. Of course you could help.
@ink: of course i can. I'm the doctor
Ever heard the song "All Nite Diner"? It's awesome.
YOU AREN'T THE DOCTOR!
sorry for the double comment
Val, it was a joke
*grins*
I stole your tardis once.
It was to help me fight the superllamas. Blogger Bah, last page. Sorry.
I wouldn't have a CLUE how to make a video game . . .
Sorry, just a little defensive. Because Doctor Who ROCKS.
GO DOCTOR WHO!!!
DON'T BLINK!
Yep, val!
Doctor who rocks!
And i stole his tardis!
You stole the tardis? Oh my God, are you a weeping angel?!
*dies on ds game*
That's what i get for not paying attention . . .
No. I'm not. Sorry to disappoint.
I needed kenspeckle, so i went and saw him. In the past.
*ds dies*
Damn, now i need to find the charger . . . *starts searching*
"Well I was on my way to a gay, gipsy, bar mitzfa, but then I thought 'hey, the third rike is all a bit of rubbish, lets kill hitler' Who's with me?"
-melody pond, 'lets kill hitler'
Anyone left?
*returns with charger and plugs it in*
Did val leave?
Yeah, I'm here. We thought the master was nearby, because we heard tapping, but it was a woodpecker.
Dunno. Maybe.
K.
Blue marshmellows are evil.
So can I make the game
Eh... I don't know yet.
Oh, come on, val . . .
An ivy animosity game would be AWESOME . . .
Well, I have to think about it.
I've already figured out how to do the special effects
what do you mean?
Pwwwweeeeeezzzeeeee
*sad puppy eyes*
I don't like begging, and puppy eyes have never worked on me.
You know, ivy, indigo balls of magical energy, throwing, etc
How about blood? You'd need lots of blood.
*gives bambi eyes*
Do these work?
yes, i can do blood... and GUTS!
Uh... I don't want Bambi's eyes... *gives them back*
What about when Amanda comes into the story?
Oh well. *stamps on them*
Poor bambi.
What about bambi's brain...
*hands val a brain*
what do you mean?
*flinches away from brain* Since when do I like eyes and brains? I can't touch them with out gloves or anything...
*looks horrifed*
YOU KILLED BAMBI!
*thinks* no . . . I did.
*roasts the remains of bambi and eats him*
Can Amanda help then?
But ivy can
Yes, amanda can help
Well, I'm Valkyrie at the moment.
Amanda wanted to know, Star, if Bambi tastes like chicken.
*thinks*
No, not very like chicken.
More like chicken than pork, though.
Jakro, how old are you? We need to know if we were going to ask our parents...
What, im your age ish
Does he taste like rainbows?
Bbl
I don't know, i've never tasted a rainbow.
He tastes nicer than llama.
Bye!
What's my age ish?
(Not trying to be creepy, but we don't wanna help an old guy or something. That'd be weird.)
No... im 12
Oh, then your my age and close to Amanda's. Well, I'll be 13 in 29 days, but that's still close.
And now i must go eat bacon
Amanda's cat is weird
Back!
Playing three games at once here, but one is a real slow one . . .
Is it? How?
The cat? He's an idiot.
How is he?
He attacked my foot and broke a lamp
Bb in 15
The lamp thing wasn't today, though.
Lamps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Broken lamps!
Hahaha.
Tuna lamps
That would be gross.
Yeah... probably
Yesterday at school I went insane and instead of singing "Someone Like You" I started changing the words so it was more like "Someone like Me"
Brb
Ok
Back!
}~{^'}
That was a fish
Hi ink

RUMOR HAS IT!
King 5 investigators
I have been HAUNTED by dreams.
Just now, I woke up from a NIGHTMARE so bad, I was crying-without tears-when I woke...
*shudders then whispers*
It was horrible...
Nice to see you too
I've done that... in my nightmare, I was screaming and when I woke up I couldn't tell if I was screaming or not and I expected to find a half dead Amanda trying to kill me on my bed...
yeah, hi.
Just wanted to get that out... seriously though. I'm still shaking from it.
Yayyy!!!!!!
I guess it wasn't a SCARY nightmare, but it was sad... and scary too I guess.
The shaking won't stop for a few minutes...
One time I had a dream that derek came to my house and he brought his dogs, but they werent the dogs that he has... then I woke up
Hi people!
Hey ink
I haven't had any dreams recently . . .
Moo?
Knock knock.
Well, if I can tell a bit of my dream, I can still remember it really vividly.
Just one thing I want to say about it is:
We were in the middle of a war. I was on one side. I don't know why I was so special, but the other side kidnapped me and one other girl. I think we were friends and they took us together... The other side was nice to us. We weren't actually hostages. Cutting to the chase, they were going to send me somewhere else and we were attacked. This one man, who I felt could have been an older brother, got hit with a missile... while trying to protect me... That's when I started to cry... Another man picked me up then and started carrying me back. I saw another missile heading toward him and screamed a warning. I was safe, but he got hit too...
After that, a woman was shouting at a group of men who were like the doctors... They were also nice to me. She was saying that they shouldn't have said anything to me in the first place and that it was their fault the man, who I thought could have been a brother, died... Then she shouted about me, and I woke up crying, but without tears...
Like I said, there's a lot I left out. I just cut to the chase. It felt so real...
Sounds aweful, lavender . . . That dying . . .
I just wanted to tell someone about it. I didn't want to keep it to myself...
It was horrible, because I knew them all. They treated me so nicely, and I repaid them by watching them die...
I tried to stop the man, the brother, from protecting me. I was pulling him away, when he got hit...
I want to tell you guys the full story of it, but it was a long dream...
I was asleep till 10 AM...
That's horrible . . .
I sort of stopped shaking now...
I have to go. Still in PJ's and need to eat.
I'll be back.
I never have long dreams. When i dream, i usually wake up early.
K lavender.
Oh, well, all my dreams are really long. They keep me sleeping for a while...
Okay, now I go. Bye!
Bye lavender!
Hello?
Hi!
Hi!
.........
I'm sorry about before.
That's okay sparky.
It's not- but for the sake of conversation, I'll say that it is.
Have I missed anything?
Just quickly, my iTouch is still on low charge, so I'll disappear any second now.
Sparky are you on?
