Brrrrr it's getting cold...
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.

Not really.
I have a friend at school, and for the past week or so, whenever nobody was saying anything, she'd ask us what we were doing in the easter holidays.
After the first few times, it got a bit boring.
But anyway - are you doing anything in the easter holidays?
Hi val!
Nope.
Hi Val.
I'm not doing anything either.
Hey peoples :)
Sparky we've been trying to bug you all morning
*yawns*
That's nice.
I think I might go back to sleep.
Tell Flame to stick around if he comes on, K?
Don't go!
I will.
Bye sparky.
*comes back*
Val. Please don't send me Skype messages when I'm offline.
*smiles at her*
Okay?
Hi again sparky.
Hi again Ink.
Is val still here?
I'm here but not really.
I'm going to see if I can type up my dream...
It felt so real, there's going to be a lot of detail...
I'm distant now!
Hi lavender!

It's dark and i didn't even realise . . .

Oh. Too bad.
Glub glub
Yeah, I commented, but I didn't really say much...
Going back to distant.

I just realized...
Tomorrow is April Fools day...
For some of us. Others, it's today.
I know. Eve was april fooling at the top of the page.
For me, it's tomorrow.
*smiles*
Me too.
Cool.
Aus time is ahead of both of ours.
Wonder

Sorry, I'm still distant.
Wonder what?

*grabs jakro and kills him*
You're dead.
Mmmmmmm... oranges!
Whoa Flame, why?
Why flame?
Flame, dont go all 'reverse llama' on me
Right, I'm off.
You won't see me again. I'm goingto commit suicide.
Bye.
No... flame... dont go all 'suicidal panda' on me
Going now
Stay.
Flame. Don't. Why are you saying this? Stop it with the trying to kill yourself thing already! Just don't!
I don't like the fact that twelve and thirteen year-olds are trying to kill themselves! Even if it's only on a blog! Just stop!
Flame. Do NOT kill yourself. Or i will haunt you in the afterlife.
I mean it.
Oh God. Really? The suicide thing again?
Hi, btw.
I want to.
But I can't. I'm just going to leave.
And watch my favourite u tubers.
Carrie hop fletcher and Alex day and Charlie McDonald and Natalie whatever her name is.
You guys are too young to be thinking like that!
It just makes me sad that kids are committing suicide and I know I sound older than I usually do, but that's how I talk when I talk to kids younger than me. Don't Flame. Please.
I'm talking to Sparky too. Even though she's not here right now. And I know how late I am with this comment, but I want to get this out anyway.
*breathes aigh of relief*
Okay then flame. Bye.
Lavender, that is a Good Speech.
Hi Star.
Stop with the suicide thing already. Just don't even think about it. That's all I have to say.
I'm distant.
Thanks Star...
But sometimes I feel like I'm being too... grown up when I talk to younger kids...
I'm not trying to, it just sounds that way...
Why are you talking to sparky?
Because she's had that thought too. I read the past comments. I know she's on and off with this, but I just want you guys to stop.
Everyone speaks grown up at times lavender.
We all sound like that when we're trying to perduade people not to commit suicide.
*reads sentence over*
Golden god that makes my life sound depressing.
Oh, didn't you know flame? Sparky was trying to get people to kill her this morning.
I saw hg today.
It's not good for anyone.
Like Eve said, think of the good things in life. Friends and family who CARE about you. Even if you don't think so, we care.
You did???
That's great flame!
Cool Flame. How was it?
Why??
It was shit.
I mean that.
It was actually really good.
That's good, Flame. :)
Now I'm still distant...
You made me jump then, flame.
It was actually brilliant.
Flame?
G2g, bye!
...Are...
Are you here Flame?
I'll stay.
I'll stay.
No, I'm a figment of your imagination sparky.
*sighs and walks to tree*
*smiles*
Good.
...
...
...Please don't commit suicide...
Please doesn't cut it,
I'm sick of life.
...
...
...
*looks at Ink*
...I can't really say anything to that...
I'm not here right now.
*fades*
*kneels down beside sparky*
*looks up and smiles*
Heello?
Sorry, I was getting cereal.
*smiles back at him*
Sparky BRAGINSKI.
I know times are hard, and things are bad. But you're the one I live for. You are the wind that sweeps me off my feet, but also the force that keeps me grounded. I love you with all my heart and I hope one day I can share a kiss In real life.
So now I ask,
Will you, *pulls out small velvet box containing a silver ring with yellow diamonds* Marry me?
*smiles*
Of course.
Of course?
I produce a long winded speech thing and what I get is of course?
*shakes head*
*gets up and puts ring on her fourth finger, then kisses it,*
*laughs*
Flame Phoenix, I love you. Words cannot describe how I feel when you're around. I would consider it an honour to marry you.
See, now that was better,
*smiles*
*squeals*
EEEKKKK!!!!
Congratulations Sparky! I'm so happy for you! :D
*hugs Sparky*
Sorry, I really was gone. Then I refreshed the page and here we are.
I'm SO happy for you two! :D
And I'm ruining the moment, buh-bye.
*smiles as I fade again*
*smiles back, pulls Flame to his feet and kisses him*
Thanks Lav.
*lifts sparky off the ground and kisses her repeatedly*
Thanks Lav.
*laughs*
*rests my head between his shoulder and neck*
I love you.
I love me too.
I remember the night we 'got' together,
They were some good 7 comments
*strokes her hair*
I do remember that.
It was so spontaneous and wonderful.
At that point, I never would've dreamed about this happening.
*kisses Flame's forehead*
Sparky, you on laptop.
Did you at all fancy me
I am on laptop, yes.
Before it started, not at all.
About three comments in, I was enjoying it.
By the end, I really liked it.
Four days later.
That's when I started loving you Flame.
And since then, I haven't stopped.
*kisses him*'
I love you. With all my heart.
In alone.
Want to go on xat?
Sure.
Any reason why?
Are you there?
No. But, just hold on.
I have t find my mothers charger as she refuses to give me mine.
Okay.
I'll go on when you tell me to.
Found it.
I shall be there in like two minutes.
There
Okay.
I'll go on when you tell me to.
My comments are disappearing,
But I can see that one!
I know, but some are disappearing,
Not that one either!
What?
Some are disappearing.
Or that one!
*pokes her*
*kisses Herr*
*pokes her*
*kisses Herr*
Brb.
*kisses him back*
Hello??
And if I suddenly disappear, my phone is dead...
I'm kinda here.
A bit distant though.
Sparky- I'm bit doing that.
Hi Shads.

Phone about to die!
Congrats Sparky and Flame!!!

*does the same*
Am, you on facebook?
Nope.
Ok.
I'm going to start to write.
Okay...
I'm not really sure about writing a story with someone...
I'm very selfish in that sense...
I know.
I'm bored lately.
Really?
*kisses him*
Not a fanfiction.
*kisses her*
My iPod about to die, so can we talk on xat?
Yeah.

Hi Willow!
Hey guys.
Saw the Hunger Games for the 3rd time today. It gets better but easier to laugh at.
They're cute.

Listen to the song.
It's beautiful.

I still didn't see HG yet, but I want to!
I'm going to look at the link now Sparky. And thanks. :)
Hiya Nix! :)
Hey Nix
It's called 'Faking My Own Suicide' and it's by Relient K.
Hi Nix.
Okay. Never heard of it.
...Hello?
Gona go try to sleep now. Bye
*raises eyebrows at Sparky*
*moment passes, burst out laughing*
Is this really what you intended? The song? Sorry for laughing, it's just what came to mind when I heard it. It definitely suits, doesn't it?
Song's nice. A bit funny to me, but nice.
Bye Willow.
*arches eyebrow at Lav*
It's just a nice song.
What are you talking about?
Bye Rim.
*waves question away, still smiling*
Never mind. It is a nice song. :)
I left out my usual !!!!!!'s so here they are.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goodbye!!!!!! *hugs*
Bye again Willow! :)
Bye Rim!!!!!!!!!!!!
*puts hands on hips and looks at Lav*
Answer my question.
I had a dream last night that i was shooting a griffin with a bow and arrow in this asfaulty sort of place outside, and i kept missing until it landed. Then i got it once in the foot, once in the shoulder and once in the side, and this girl (i have no idea who she was) told me to stop, and i said (truthfully) that i didn't want to kill it anyway (then why was i shooting at it...?) and we went and had a meal with the griffin.
My dreams show my insainity
Bye Rim
It's nothing Sparky! Just me and my weird/random thoughts. :)
That's an interesting dream, Nix.
*still smiling*
*takes a step towards Lav*
Tell. Me. Now.
i love being insane. Sane people are so dull
*takes a step back*
I just thought, when I heard the song, that it's a coincidence that you and Flame kept trying to die, then he asks to marry you.
Like I said, me and my thoughts. Sometimes I don't think before I speak, or in this case, I think too much. :P
Sorry...
