Kony 2012
Hello there,
Do you have half an hour to spare? This doesn't have anything to do with me or my books. This has to do with changing the world. This has to do with helping people you've never met. At the end of the half hour, you don't have to do anything. You don't have to donate, or sign, or even share the video. You can if you want, but you don't have to. I'd just like you to KNOW. I'd like us all to be a part of this, to know what's going on in the world and to know that there are people who are determined to make a change. And I'd just like you to know the name Joseph Kony, who is more of a monster than I could ever create in my writing.

so, what are you doing now? writing?
Y'know how Kal occasionally explodes and says 'I love Octaboona!'?
Thinking, chilling.
Wondering about writing.
*looks back at my first comment*
oh my goodness...
*bursts out laughing*
oh my gosh. everyone will know that i'm back now.
*stops laughing but is smiling*
...no... i know they're blog-married, but I don't talk to her often enough.
Well, she does.
And it's one of the things that makes her so likeable.
She's just so relaxed.
*smiles*
yeah. I agree.
Well...
...
...
...
...
Ugh. There's something I've been thinking about all day, but it feels stupid that I'm dwelling on it...
*has stopped smiling now*
the week has gone too fast... My homework is still a mess... I couldn't come on the computer at all until now. otherwise I would have come in earlier...
you don't have to say anything if you don't want to.
*sigh*
i'm not going to be able to come back during the weekend... going to be all busy with catching up...
...
It feels stupid.
I want to talk about it.
BUT IT'S STUPID.
btw, I started Mortal Coil a few days ago... I think I'm on chapter 13 now...
why is it stupid?
Because it's smaller than I'm making it out to be.
...okay... maybe you can tell me a little bit, and leave some things out... I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just trying to help.
If I-
For Golden God's sake, what's wring with me?
I'm freaking out about the whole 'poet' thing.
Am I or aren't I?
*grips head*
IT'S STUPID AND SELFISH IS WHAT IT IS!

Hi Forest...
Hope?
Sparky, don't go getting upset at yourself.
I'm sorry, but at times like this, I can't think of the words to say... :P I just start forgetting all the good words at the wrong time. :P
hi forest.
sorry. that took me a while to think about. :P
I hate freaking out over things solely to do with me.
It makes me feel conceited...
It's okay. I do that sometimes too.
*sigh*
sorry, like I said. hard to remember the good words when I think of them after the conversation... or something like that. :P
I appreciate the effort Hope.
:)
but really, the words escape my head or something when this kind of conversation pops up and when I could think of them before, I can't remember them then. :P
As I said, the effort is noted and thanked for.
*chuckles at my odd words*
i don't make sense sometimes... :P
*smiles*
i'm glad to hear. :P
*hugs Hope and makes an effort not to breath on her*
*is hugged and tried not to be breathed on*
why not? what's wrong with your breath?
I'm sick.
oh. but it's blogland. no one's sick in blogland.
that made me think of something else.
Yeees?
what's the weather and sky like in blogland? is it what you make it? or is it always one thing or another?
like, is it always sunny? or windy? or- i think you get the picture.
It's uninteresting until it's something specific.
Like it just started snowing.
oh. cool. :) i like snow.
But now it's raining and were sitting in my treehouse.
And now it's a thunderstorm.
so... it can be changed to fit anyone's needs? like-
so let's say... I want it to be sunny now, and it is?
still new. still getting used to the hang of things. :P
*groans and staggers into a tree*
Im VERY sorry I vanished before but I had a not so friendly encounter with some stairs. Namely I fell down a flight, swore loudly and ended up in hospital. My neck and back are still killing me.
In other news...oh.
Are you okay Zath???
Pretty much Hope.
...what? seriously? are you okay Mist???
The doctors said that I'm not ok...and really I'm not.
The up side is I dont have to go to school for 2 days but that is nullified seeing as the next 2 days are the weekend
bummer Mist. about both not being okay, and it being the weekend. that must suck.
It does.
Stairs are my new worst enemy. Stairs, Dymocks and poles...
oh yeah. that just reminded me of the two times I tripped on the stairs... and now I'm looking back to all the other times I fell in my life. :P I was- am very clumsy...
*snorts*
I mean, that's horrible news Zath, not getting to go to sch-
Oh wait.
*grins evilly*
But seriously, what did you do?
*laughs at a ridiculous time when I was going down a mountain with some friends, tripped and ran down till I crashed one of them into a tree*
That was clumsy! :P
*looks at Sparky*
Well, Grand Mage, I tripped, turned and hit the first step hard, bounced backwards, killed my head and landed at the bottom of the flight 3 seconds later where I proceeded to swear.
Then the school called an ambulance and I also killed my neck and back somewhere along the way.
and another time when I was looking at someone else and ran right into a pole! :P I really am clumsy...
ouch Mist. That must have been painful.
Yup.
*hums Asylum*
and I remember another time when I was showing someone how I hurt my ankle skipping one stair at a time downwards and actually did it again!
*sigh*
I am SO clumsy with my feet.
Well I'm prone to sever head injuries.
In Year Seven I knocked myself by standing up.
Into a f*cking table.
When I was three I cracked my skull.
I hit my head in every conceivable activity under the sun.
Even when no one thinks there is any way for me to hit my head, I do anyway.
*sighs*
In other news my mother got back from the airport this morning
But I do feel sorry for you Zath.
wow Sparky...
I never had my head cracked before but I knew some others who had. It sounds very painful.
*looks at the time*
I got to go in about 10 mins... I'll hopefully come back after though...
I'm still here for the time being.
I don't remember it properly, but there was definitely glue involved in fixing it.
An idiot chucked a rock at my brothers head before and his skull cracked. And now he has one arm
okay... that's weird...
I have another funny story to tell.
Speaking about bonking heads, I have a loft bed and it's so high that I can't sit straight when I'm on it. Sometimes I hit the ceiling when I'm not paying attention to it.
I'm sorry to hear that Mist. But at least he's alive.
weird for sparky. Not Mist.
Ouch...
about the glue thing.
...am i making this conversation confusing in any way?
I know.
It's incredibly weird.
He got glued too. I haven't broken a bone yet.
*sigh*
I just keep getting random memories popping up in my head. :P some are really ridiculous.
they GLUE a cracked skull??? I thought they would use something not so...*loss of words again*
Hi Kal!
*hugs Kal and uses Makhaira to shred way out of bubble wrap*
Hello!
*sigh*
and there's the memory of when I thought my tooth was a piece of zucchini and spit it out...
but I bet you guys don't want to listen to me blabbing about things that happened to me anyway...
Hi Kal! I got first! well, I guess you read the comments then. :P
sorry! now I have to go take a shower. :P I MIGHT be back later, I might not. depends on when my 'mum' comes home. :P
Bye guys!
Bye Hope!
Bye Hope
1950
...Hello?
...ok?
Hope, that is what I was talking about earlier.
I love it.
I love Flame too.
It's never snowed here but I've been in it. I love snow.
And Eve.
Yay!!!
*has idea suddenly*
Eve&Zath are blog-dating.
Me&Flame are blog-engaged,
Kal&Octa are blogmarried!
It's a sign.
Or something...
http://bubblesforblood.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/one-for-you-two-for-me-chapter-3-part-6.html
Kal, read it please!
It's Shadow's story.
BUT I LOVE IT!
Or something
Yeah, Sparky is [SPOILER REMOVED] in it. xD
Wait, if it's snowed, does that mean the lakes frozen over?
*pegs a snowball that explodes in Zath's face*
Ow. I'll be back in ten
*vanishes*
That's more than I thought!
Kal, you must know EVERYTHING!
*wonders if the lake has frozen over*
I'm going to say that it is, because I missed skating this morning.
*pulls on boots and steps onto the ice*
*pushes off and warms up*
*sets up and does an axel*
Eh...
*lines up and does a delayed axel*
...Much better.
*skids to a stop, spraying ice*
...It's Shadow's story...
*steps off the ice, pulls boots off and prepares snowballs*
HEY GUYS! I'm back! and I read the comments I missed. Now I know what you mean Sparky :P
brbz!
...yay! it's snowing!
*memory pops up, I shout at it*
Bah! go away! no one cares!
...okay Sparky!
*plays in the snow*
Back!
HI! :D
ugh, why is it that my memories are popping up now? it's like slow popping popcorn! I'm thinking of one thing that leads to another and-
but no one wants to listen to me ramble on. :P
LET'S HAVE FUN IN THE SNOW!!! :D
*falls on back, making snow angels*
*grins at Kal's entrance*
nice. :P
HI!
Val!
*grins at her*
HI!
Tonight, Amanda did one of the coolest things I have ever seen her do.
I'm very happy now.
A) It's Shadow's story.
B) Gotta go.
BYE!!!
aw, bye Sparky!
Amanda grabbed a guy's arm and FLIPPED him to the ground! He was all the way in the air, AND he's bigger than Amanda! It was SO COOL!
*smiles*
hello again Kal.
NO! SPARKY LEFT RIGHT WHEN I GOT BACK!
wow!
...who was the guy though? was he just a random guy? or a friend or- what?
I AM BACK!!!
Hello Kal, Hope and Val.
Whoa!
Amanda has mad-ninja-flipping skills!
THAT'S SO COOL!!!
TALK!
NOW!
PLEASE!
NOW!!!
Hi again Sparky!
*sighs*
if I stop commenting, it's cause my mom's here and I had no time to say bye.
1st
1st
1st
*gasp*
AGAIN! NO FREAKING WAY!!!!
DAMN IT HOPE!
Eve will start beating me soon!!
Congrats Hope!
Bad luck Zath.
I am seriously having a hard time breathing because I GOT FIRST THE SECOND TIME TODAY!!!
OMG!
*yells and storms out of blogland*
I'm just switching to the computer by the way
FREAKING OUT NOW! sorry going to ded soon.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
It was our friend Luka and we were playing a (very awkward) game where you had to pick people up before they got to the other side and Luka tried to grab Amanda and she whirled around and flipped him! It was like watching an action movie in real life!
Eve!
*tackles her*
Hope, calm down.
Zath, chill and come back.
Val, HI!!!!!
Kal, HELLO AGAIN!!!
Mist! *hugs*
Sparky!
SPARKY! Have you ever run around in the dark at a school in all black pretending to be a spy and going on a missio n to tfind blue and red lights?
Apparently I can't go on the comp, so I'm here instead.
*tackles Eve*
Yes.
It was at Kings.
Kings is the f*cking biggest place I've been to in my entire life.
It could qualify as a country.
:P Okay, now that I've calmed down somewhat, here's the ded.
I dedicate this page to:
1) Eve, Mist, Val, Sparky, and Kal
2)Derek's blog for making me be first three days and two times in a row
3)Star, Jakro, Nix, and Thrust
You've pretended to be spies and searched for the red and blue lights too?
Over-exaggerating, obviously.
But it is huge.
Not spies, soldiers.
Not red and blue lights, glowsticks.
Crawling. Losing shoes. Destroying socks.
Fun.
*gasp* I just read the other comments. Are you okay?????
*hugs Kal*
Hi kallista! Hi val ! Hi lav, if your still here!
wow... still freaking out by the way. just, not as much...
*screams*
THE THIRD DAY IN A ROW AND THE SECOND TIME TODAY!!!
It was AWESOME today... This was the coolest Wildlife meeting thingy I've ever been to... Me and Amanda had to bribe one of the double-agent spy people into letting us go free. It was hilarious.
Nah. I'm alive though, that's the main thing.
*hugs*
*blinks* .....how did you start falling? Did you just trip?
Hi Eve. sorry to say that so late, but I put you in the ded. :)
*takes a few breaths*
okay, i think i'm finally finished freaking out.
Lavender, you should've seen how many firsts I got when I was on here for thirty hours straight. That was impressive.
*grins at Kallista*
*thanks Lavender*
*continues to worry about Mist*
Did you break a bone?
cool Kal! thanks for sharing that with me. :)
...*thinks for a second*
I need to go soon...
And when I leave I think I might have a Kallista moment...
wow Val. but since i'm still a bit learning about blogland, I find being first... surprising. especially when I actually don't mean to be first.
Nope.
...I don't think I did anyway.
*checks ribs*
Val, I entered my charactereno.
Agh! Don't touch them! They might shatter!
oh yeah that reminded me...
Mist, I still need to put my character bio on your blog post. brb.
GOTTA GO BYE!
They won't.
*presses hand against them*
See?
Bye Val!
Thanks Hope. Bye Val!
Back!
Bye Val!
Eek! *starts wrapping layer upon layer of bandages around Mist's ribs*
Bye valereno
There's been a change of what movie I'm watching tonight!
From 'Pretty Woman' (ugh) to 'The Poseidon Adventure' (AWESOME!!!)
Or not...
Aw! I forgot to ask her. Darn.
Anyone here live in the States?
Those blue things are smurffessional at combat, Kallista. Don't mess with them. Watch out for narrator smurf.
Kal does.
Oh, Eve I'm renting Dawn of the Dead tonight!!
yeah. I saw that movie too. :P it was funny.
Not me. I'm an Adelaide gal!
Yay! Gore eating goodness!
Okay, question for Kal. (or any of you if the answer is yes)
Do you know the Voice and American Idol and the X Factor in America?
and/or
I know Australian idol, Australian the Voice - and Australian x factor. Do you know who Reece mastin is?
The movie is undecided.
I want action, mum wants comedy.
We have reached an impass.
*gives Kal a look*
COBALT!!!
Oh. Uh, nice going, Kallista. *slides through bandages*
Agh! Too cold! *gets more bandages*
Hi Gab.
It's Colbat, idiot.
I told you, Kallista.
I want BLOOD!
*accidentally steps on one of the ninja smurfs*
Oops...
*gets surrounded by angry smurfs*
You should feel sorry for me! There's blue on my black boots! Everyone's gonna now where I've walked!
*gets scowled at*
Not gonna work, is it?
*is now covered in bandages*
What am I, a mummy-to-be?
HELLO!
okay then...
what if I said...
that I was thinking...
of auditioning for one of them... when I'm a few years older.
Let me check. *shows mist a cat* *nothing happens* no you're not a mummy.
Hi Jakro.
*nearly steps towards him then remembers smurfs*
I'm in a bit of a pinch...
Hi Jakro! You were in my ded!
IT'S COBALT, EEV.
sparky... shoot fireworks at them
Anyone read what I said earlier???
You totally should, Lav. Do the Voice. Then you can cover yourself in banana peels and no one would care. You have an amazing voice.
So why am I wrapped up in all this?!
*gestures madly and bandages*
And I can't breathe either...
I'd rather not.
I stepped on one, see?
*takes off boot and shows the base to Jakro, where there is a blue smudge*
with the long space in between?
