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.

...i changed the language on my computer to italian...
...it's fun trying to figure it out...!
:P
Cool, I think...
*returns glomp enthusiastically*
thats great!
when did you finish school?
i finished today.
I've started to glomp my friends at school...
It's fun to see the look of pure terror on their faces the first time I do it...
I finished two days ago. My school ROCKS.
well, yes.
in real life, i probably would feel the same if someone glomped me.
but in the virtual world itg's relatively painless...
Il tuo commento รจ stato pubblicato.
this is what it says each time i post a comment
btw how do you get italics?
I haven't killed anyone, I plan my jumps so I don't fall over, but it's fun, you should try it.
Here's how you do italics:
< i > (write something here) < / i >
With no extra spaces.
thx.
sorry for the slow reponse. My computer closed the webpages because it thought it was 'unsafe'
I might be leaving suddenly soon, and then coming back again.
i'm sorry sparky, but i'm called away now to have dinner. I'll see you later!
*hugs* bye!
Question, are you tall?
Kk, bye!
great, delayed 2 minutes: rice went beserk.
i'm not really, tall, but i have never been considered short ever. So about taller than average. (don't know exact height). Why?
Cause I'm teeny...
i'm sorry.
wear heels: not a personal recommendation, given the fact that i tore a ligiment in them, and i am not a girly type person, but just a suggestion.
The other day I almost introduced myself as Sparky...
To a BANKER.
oh dear. I acidentally introduced myself as Rosella to a teacher. She did a double-take , and i pretended i didn't dsay anything... awkward.
gtg now! i'll pop back later.
HEELS!? HAVE YOU NOT HEARD ME COMPLAINING ABOUT HEELS??????????? ONE NIGHT I WORE THEM, AND I NEARLY FELL DOWN A FREAKING ELEVATOR!!!!!!!
So, no, I don't think I'll be wearing heels. I hated the idea of them before, and I detest than now.
P.S. I don't mind being teeny, I'm not dumpy, I'm petite.
Uh... Bye!
My cat LOVES climbing into boxes for no apparant reason. She also loves handbags and killing pretty much anything living beside herself, including me...
Anyway, I wrote to you ages ago, and I wanna christmas card!!! DX BTW have just finished latest chapter of second part of fanfic:
http://kaliamcobwebs.blogspot.com/
'tis cool. It has Vile and Skulduggery in it and a BIG fight scene. Which is always cool. And a cliffhanger ending... :o
Back to something relevant to the post- YOU HAVE BIG TOYS!!! Do you have any doctor who ones???
*punches wall randomly*
Ow...
My eyes hurt... I should probably be asleep seeing as I went to bed... An hour ago...
I've been jere for four hours and ten minutes.
Unless someone turns up in the next five minutes, I'm going to leave.
Awesome Iron Man statue.

My turn for a dramatic exit I suppose?
Hello?
Is anyone planning on staying longer than three comments?
I'm posting on my iTouch and my computer.
I'll be here, if you say something I will probably come, but I won't be paying excellent attention.
*refreshes page*
Nup, still no one...
This fanfic has started badly... oh well, I can change it later.
There, better already!
Sparky? You still here?
Yes I am. How are you?
cool I'm fine thanks
I'm writing a fanfic, set in Australia, about me, Sparky Braginski, and it has Fletcher in it.
So far, I am chained to the ceiling of the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.
With magic binding cuffs.
If you've been there, you know that the room is FREAKING HUGE.
Just saying.
Ha, interesting, I play a bad guy in most of my stories :P Have you ever been to Sydney Opera House?
ah yes then and LOL I have been there once
Yes. The room is FREAKING HUGE.
I see... I don't remember it much I was the grand age of well 18 months
Look it up. The organ's pretty but the room is FREAKING GINORMOUS.
OMG it is FREAKING GINORMOUS
I'M NOT KIDDING!!!
NO YOU ARE NOT, I mean, WOAH
It's more daunting to star in it, TRUST ME.
*stand.
I have been there but i must not have found it very daunting as I cannot remember, though I do remember a bridges and beaches from that holiday hmm
So, imagine, hanging from the ceiling of that room, over the stage.
PINE! STOP DOING THAT!!!
How did the exam go?
Night Dragona and yes Sparky, I can see how that would be somewhat daunting...
Yes... The stories REALLY short at the moment, so I don't think it would hurt to post it here and then delete the comment... Do you want to read it so far?
That's really good actually :D
What year are you in at school?
8...
What about you?
10 :P
*outclassedness*
haha you have learned much young one
*growls*
Go away Jedi Master.
Now, young one, calm and level headedness is a lesson that you should learn *superiority smile*
*growls louder*
I. AM. NOT. A. PADAWAN.
I am an adept.
*sighs* And I am a butterfly *rolls eyes* you can be adept if you want but it doesn't change anything
I'm going to write some more now.
Hello again...
I can't think of how to get out of the situation...
...
...
...
PLEASE HELP ME.
Er add in some sort of sidekick or something could happen to the roof? I dunno
You've probably done it anyway
...
Something to do with Fletcher, and then I'll add a character...
I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
I'm buying my tree tommorrow.
Fletcher? hmm
Wait... What book are you up to?
What do you take me for???!!!! All of them more than I care to count
*more times
Good...
So you know what happened to Fletcher... Good...
WHAT DO I DO???
PLEASE HELP!!!
I DUNNO!! Maybe the handcuffs are the wrong kind or Fletcher does somin stupid and it all ya know goes bad for him
Robin?
Wait, I fixed it...
*pokes Robin*
I'm bored... Entertain me...
yees?
Please entertain me...
PLEASE!!!
BRB.
With what *searches pockets finds monkey and bowling pin and pillow begins juggling*
*grabs the monkey*
BANANASBANANAS!!!!!!!
Robin, do you have magic?
Do you?
small amounts yes it's like an energy sphere i generally like chuck it at people but it's hard work
It's like a boomerang almost and no-one else can touch it - bad things happen if you touch the pure energy sphere
Okay... That sounds awesome!
Like a boomerang but circle and glowing
Coolio...
Yes lol usually I use a sword though it kinda stores that energy... like a necromancer kinda
haha look at me getting all into it *sigh*
Well... I'm pretty into it as well...
:D well at least I'm not a complete fool then..
Sparky= Spark= Electricity...
=Control over it...
the truth, I see the logic..
I knew that anyway, can I ask why you are on the ceiling of the Sydney Opera House if you expplain in the story then dw cuz I plan to read it :D
Good... Not just me...
I plan to explain it...
Ouch... Organs hurt...
Good and the other half of your name?
A lot...
Braginski? Have you ever seen Hetalia?
It's really good...
It is...
gAH!!
1st.
Ah... No, but cool I just googled it and why pray tell are you're organs in distress?
YAY!!! I GOT FIRST!!! dedicate this page to everyone having a Merry Christmas!
*sings random Christmas carols*
wasn't even watching the page numbers oh well I got last one
... Organs? No reason... yet...
And Russia from Hetalia's name is Ivan Braginski. And I am Russia.
Okay that would probably make more sense if I'd seen it...
WACTH IT!!! Each episode is only 5 minutes long.
Kay but my laptop is going to die shortly and I have no charger I need to hunt brb
KK...
*squeals*
Val V should be here soon!
hehe am back with my charger :D Val V and I haven't spoke since I first started blogging so like what a week ago...
You should speak, she's pretty cool.
:D I know, I should be revising for my maths test tomorrow but I don't care haha
When do you finish school?
what for christmas? we have the rest of this week and next week I think
Ah... I finished three days ago!!!
Lucky how long do you have off school?
Until the end of January.
-.- we have two weeks off
gah, where are the others I stay awake tonight especially to see them and they won't come online till one in the morning perhaps
BYE!!!
That was enthusiastic *suspicios eyes*
*suspicious
bye
Completely for no specific amount of time!
Yes, that's right! I'm still here!
Hello? Anyone here this time?
(I'd just like to point out that I am entirely annoyed with the weather, seeing as how it got dark at 4:30 PM...)
SPARKY YOU HAD PERFECT TIMING!!! :D
WHERE'D YOU GO?!
GRAHH!!!
*glomps Val V*
YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!
*lets go of Val V suddenly*
You laughed at me.
Hi! I haven't been on much... Sorry.
You laughed at me.
oh hai!
Hey lego!!!
Did I laugh at you? Might I ask when? Just now? I didn't just now.
When you read over the previous comments. I need to go soon, and I probably won't be back for three days, but I'm here now, so make it count.
Would anyone like to read my fanfic so far?
I didn't read over the previous comments, actually, I merely skimmed over them to see if Derek had commented...
And did I tell you that at school we had an assignment to write a letter to an author?
Aww... Sparky left. Crud.
Well, anyway, everyone loved my letter and someone even wrote "LOVED this! It sounded just like her speaking because she mentioned the crazy stuff about her!" and everyone's favorite part seemed to be when I was comparing myself with Valkyrie and said something like, "Unlike most people my age, I talk about Skulduggery Pleasant - I'm obsessed with it - and do random things, like dressing up as a zombie and taking a walk in public. When I read your books, I was surprised that Valkyrie was actually like me, in a way. I mean she doesn't act like a zombie or anything but..." XD
So...
*Awkward*
Hi, random other people on this blog.
*awkward wave*
hai!
Hi!
*Is still awkward.*
Nice to meet you.
*smashes awkward with a large cupcake*
now if you don't mind, let's just pretend that we know each other, and this isn't insanely awkward at all, as awkward introductions tend to be quite tedious.
Okay! *Gives insanely creepy evil smile in a pathetic attempt to no longer be awkward* So, what totally non-awkward subject shall we talk about?
oh, um...all the ones I can think of right now are kind of strange and only make sense to me and might cause you to back away creepily. okay, they're all about how my girlfriend's skin is really pretty. BUT I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THIS OKAY.
and yes, that's probably awkward. so, um...hedgehogs. feelings on them?
oh dear, I seem to have silenced you anyways. or you have very quiet thoughts on hedgehogs. either way, I have to go sleepies. bai!
Hedgehogs. Yes, those are definitely animals, all right.
I have to go now, my computer keeps freezing up.
HEDGEHOGS ARE HALF FLETCHER.
MY STORY IS AMAZINGFUL.
is anyone on
Not really... I'm writing, so I can't be in two places at once very easily...
hehehe thats okay what are you writing
Oh, nothing too interesting, just, you know, something AMAZING. It's about a insane murderer who, well, murders people. She's one of the very few people who have magic and she's just been hired to kill someone in the story... And she's really smart and clever, but that's what you'd expect from a writer who is successful at being both of those things... XD
I'm officially going to bed now... Bye! Even though I don't think anyone's here!
Anybody here? *looks round* I'll take that as a no...
Seriously? No-one's commented on the blog for over 9 hours?
I am amazed.
hi
anyone here?
fine! do you want me to do another overly dramatic exit? I will if no one is here in 5 minutes (im not really mad)
hi chloe!
Hey! Humans! At least, I assume you're human...
o hiya
how are yall?
I'm good, thank you, how are you?
i'm fine, but bored doing drama homework
Fun times. I'm allegedly preparing for an interview I have this weekend, but somehow that transmutes to commenting on this blog...
whoo! drama! ah i've just realised i have to right a monologue for drama. hmmm. have any of u heard of The Long The Short And The Tall?
Nope. Is it like the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but the villains are all different heights?
