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.

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.

«Oldest ‹Older 2201 – 2400 of 4814 Newer› Newest»You heard of the Excorcist? Its a scary movie mum won't let me watch. She said it was too scary. I watched Best Scenes of it on YouTube and they weren't scary at all.
Please comment.
No, haven't heard of it. Maybe you should show your mother that video then, Eve.
No way. She was actually starting to tell when I asked.
*yell
Oh...
Yeah. She says a lot of movies are scary when they aren't. It was especially annoying when she started sign-languaging to the video ezy guy about how scary it was.
Thoughts so far?
It was a seemingly normal day in blogland; peaceful, sunny and warm. Birds chirped quietly as the regulars went about their usual business, talking, laughing and tackling. Mostly the tackling actually. The splashes of lake water mixed perfectly into the rest of the noises around the area and simply made blogland seem all the better. They hadn’t a care in the world at the point and blogland seemed to be the safest place possible to be in.
That was when every single one of them were deceived though. Not even blogland was safe. Not anymore. That was the day that all their lives were changed forever, as unwilling to them as it was sudden.
The footsteps were heard first. The unnatural amount of heaviness carried in the sounds made them all halt abruptly. The talking died, the tackling ceased and the laughter faded, replaced by a sudden tense straining of trying to hear.
They came from the mountains, they came from the lake, from the bush, from the volcano. The Hollow Men came pouring in from every place in sight. Those of the regulars in the lake staggered out quickly and the rest of them rose from their seats in unison. All eight of them automatically sunk into positions of wariness and weapons were drawn and magic was summoned.
Water slid off the papery skin of the Hollow Men who had risen from the lake, snow covered those of which had tracked the mountains and twigs and leaves were caught on ones from the bush. They began their slow walk towards them in squads of hundreds and they all started closing in. Weapons were raised higher at this point and the magic was intensified substantially. And still the Hollow Men slouched their way over, drawing nearer and near, the number of their enemies seemingly becoming endless. None of them knew how they had made their way to blogland, or why they were there or how they had made their appearance so sudden. Partially because they knew that they had to get on with it, partially because they couldn’t quite believe it, but every single the warriors acted calmly, though panic was clawing its way through all of them.
Sparky Braginski stood a long way back from the lake holding her Makhaira tightly from beside the tree-house. Flame Phoenix held two billowing balls of fire in his hands next to Sparky, leaning forwards slightly in a protective gesture of his fiancé. Eve had tensed her hands to show her nails, sharp, pointy and dangerous, and had begun snarling to expose her teeth, which were also sharp, to the oncoming tide of enemies. Gabriel Cobalt stood a fair way back like a child who was unsure of how the game was being played, though the long knife held in his hand did give him some credibility of contribution in the following battle. Lynxia Lost and Lavender Hope both stood on either side of Gabriel, bow and arrows held at the ready. Zathract Mist stood next to Eve, both daggers clutched tightly in my hands and found that he seemed to be mimicking Flame and was slightly in front of her. Star Inknight had her hands splayed towards the ground with large formations of ink swirling around them while a fierce glare hardened on her face.
Goodbye!!!¡¡¡!!!
Sorry? Are you talking to Lynxia?
I'll read it after dinner, but now I have to go. Bye!
Bye Eve!
*hugs*
Bye Eve! *hugs*
I've commented Zath and do you want to hear.my chorus lyrics?
Sure. Thanks for commenting too.
Ok, I got told to only to the chorus so here...
Come see me, secretly,
No one will have to know.
Come see me, secretly,
Then we can get up an go.
I can see it on your eyes,
I can see the dawn is breaking.
We both live very different lives,
Nut my heart is still breaking.
I've been wrong,
I've been down.
That was before but now,
I've been up,
I've been all right.
And that's because I've,
Seen the light
The song is called Seen the Light. The other people in my music class are doing the verses.
*but not nut.
Cool.
Uh, your comment isn't there by the way.
I'm back! Now let me read the story!
What?! STUPID PHONE!!! I'll comment again later on my laptop after school.
I love it!
Stupid phone! WB Eve!
Ugh. A primary example of mums attitude towards movies. I couldn't watch The Passion of the Christ because she said it was too gory. So he gets nailed to a cross. So?
Thanks.
Basically I just need your permission to use you in my story, Shadow. And your magic type and (if an Adpet) power.
Can I? Please? Pretty please with die on top?
Do you like my chorus Eve/
Hi Lynxia!
I do! I want to hear the music now!
Yeah, course you can, Zath! You let me put you in my fan fic. I'll post my powers and stuff later.
Gotta go now! *hugs all round* School... :(
Bye bye.
Everyone is always complaining that my nails are too sharp. I say, what if I am attacked? What then? In real life, my defense is scratch and bite.
Bye Lynxia!
I AM KING HEROD!!!
My nails are quite sharp. It's funny because most people don't want to fight me, not because of my superly-amazing karate punches, but because they think I'll scratch them.
They would do well to remember that.
Anyway, I need to have a shower. Be back in five, Eve.
*hugs and hurries off*
*hugs* bye!
*sighs* I wish I was feared like that. I scratch my little brother many times when he starts pushing me, I pinch him too, but he just doesnt get it.
I wish I was motivated enough to learn karate. I had one lesson of tae kwon do, and I quit the very next day.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
I was first mentioned in the story.
Yay.
Love it, by the way.
DEATHONIC NIGHTMARE, I'M BACK!
I like my new shout-phrase. Hey, Sparky.
*hugs Eve*
And thanks.
*glowers*
I have followed your blog Zathract.
That doesn't happen to just anyone.
Hi! Let me look for my charger
Y'know what's really awkward?
Zath, you must've been fairly annoyed when I wrote my poem.
I've been thinking about writing a story about it too...
For about a week before the poem formed.
*hugs Mist*
Terror is coursing in me,
Dreading th efinal moments when I have to dream,
(The other side of me,
Keeps a diligent watch on everything,
Keeps a simple hold on my belief,
Just waitin' for the moment when I,)
Feel You Die!
In asylum,
(I live a lie)
Don'tchya know I'was in love with you when I wasn't ready,
In Asylum,
(relive a lie)
Overcome with the feeling that,
I won't get to join you in time,
For the loneliness is killing me!
But really, I want more of this story.
Why would I be annoyed Sparky?
And thanks heaps for following!!
I'll be writing more. I'm just in the "Damn it, I'm stuck" stage.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
*tackles Eve*
Understandable Zath.
Yay! More!
Was that Asylum?
*remembers something and gets up*
Sparky, do you like me yet?
Yeah, Asylum. One of my favorites.
*looks at my profile picture*
There is no way anyone can call me firmly, that's for sure...
*favourites
Friend.
You are a friend.
*gets tackled*
*stops and listens*
Who the hell is watching Scooby Doo?
OK. Good to know.
...Uh...?
What's new scooby Doo?
We're comin' after you
We're gonna solve that mystery...
*stop laughing*
Ow, that hurts my ribs.
*groans*
I need to go now.
BYE!!!
*spins around in circles*
Bye Sparky!!
Agh! I thought you said they weren't broken!!!
Bye Sparky!
Death's images are all around again,
They're right behind me,
They're gonna find me,
Judgement for the immortal sin,
That has envelopment me completely,
I know I'll never live a peaceful night again,
Afraid they'll hear me,
They don't fear me,
Punishment the immoral crime,
The dept was never payed completely!
They aren't! I swear.
*checks quickly*
I swear!
*narrows eyes suspiciously, bandages at the ready*
*backs away slowly and tries to hide arm*
What? What's wrong with your arm?
Uh, nothing.
*hides behind back*
*glares fiercely* Zathract Mist, you tell me if that arm is broken or not or I promise you, it will be soon.
*sags*
Urgh. Yes, fine, I broke it.
*gasps* Agh! *rushes to Mist and gently holds his arm* *stares at it*
It's alright, it's in a cast...
*voice trails off*
*eyes widen in horror*
You poor thing!
*pulls out permanent marker*
*signs cast*
*laughs and hugs Eve*
I'm sorry I didn't tell you...
*groans*
It's always at the worst times...I have to go and eat now. :(
Be back in 15. *hugs again*
*hugs and manages to avoid arm* Bye!
Never mind, I've got my dinner in front of the laptop. :)
YAy!
*sits down on couch and pats seat next to me*
*sits next next to Mist ad starts nursing his arm*
Bababababaabababchoooo!
That was intentionally random.
*laughs*
You're crazy.
*flicks on TV and Dawn of the Dead comes on*
Just like that guy.
*watches intently as man is ripped apart*
And that is what I like to call brutal.
They made a parody of this, did I tell you? It was Shaun of the Dead. Funny, coz I watched that first and I still laughed my head off.
Everyone dies in the end of Dawn of the dead except for the dog.
Ahahahaha!
Typical. Lucky doggie.
It's not brutal if they can't help it.
Or maybe it is.
I don't know.
Yeah, coz zombumpkins only eat human flesh. :)
Oh my god, LOL when the guy accidentally plunges a knife through an unzombified girl's heart.
*shouts at TV*
Good on ya, mate!
Look at iTunes! They've changed the Death Bringer cover! Yay!
Yeah, coz they totally sell books on iTunes.
They do...
What? They do? Then my sarcastic comment was for nought. *hangs head shamefully*
*shrugs*
They sell iBooks.
Actually they are on the iTunes Store that is also on iTunes...
I'm talking too much again.
Grr.
Football on TV is so annoying.
*turns music up*
Much better!
Well, they changed the cover on iBooks too. It's kind of a spoiler, though coz it's Skulduggery with shadows coming out of him. *coughlordvilecough*
Fine then.
1st

*smiles* I told you, I like it when you talk.
ARGH!!!!!! I didn't even know!!!!!!
*laughs hysterically*
*fumes*
*head becomes a ball of fire*
AHHH!
*throws bucket of water at Eve*
...Whoops...
*mutters under breath and trudges to the super dryer*
*super dries self*
*watches nervously*
*trudges back* Go ahead then. Dedicate.
*thinks*
Ded rights go to Eve the ROCK.
It's only fair. But then, life isn't fair. So whyyyyyy should THIS, be faaaaair....? *has an opera round*
Hey?
You pity me, don't you?
You dedicate.
No, but I don't want to see you upset. :(
That must be it, yeah. You're letting me dedicate beause you feel SORRY for me.
...Eve?
*rolls eyes and smiles* I'm not going to be UPSET, Mist. I was pretending to be angry.
*sits back*
You still get ded rights.
I don't care if there's a competition or not. I'm always dedicating my firsts to you.
I dedicate this page to Mist.
*smiles*
*remembers something Sparky said and starts laughing*
*grins*
What did Sparky say?
Oh, and you know that now she's starting to dedicate to Flame because she wants to compete with him too?
Us competing was mentioned in one of her deds. xD
When I first found out her and Phoenix were going out, I said, "are you getting blog married?" and she said soemthing like "HELL no. Marriage is out of the question." NOW look where she is.
Ahahaha.
Yeah, I know. XD
Still, we don't know WHEN they're getting married.
*blinks* Oh yeah. Sparky said August, I think, So mch is happening in August. tHe wedding, book 7, the tour, and your BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Yay, my birthday~
AND I HAD BETTER MEET DEREK!
*thinks*
I haven't done a THING for the wedding. I'll have to ask Sparky what I can do next time she comes on.
You had better.
I'm in charge of the food, including the cake.
*lightbulb*
You can be the guitarist!
Yeah. That's a good idea.
...What kind of songs do they play at weddings?
I don't know. Happy ones?
It doesn't matter, because this is a blogwedding. Everything has to be at least mildly crazy. Play Inside the Fire!
Lol. Flame would probably kill me.
-----
Narrator Person: And now we shall depart to the Reception where the band will play.
[Ten minutes later]
*walks out and starts doing the crazy solo*
Flame: What the hell is that?!
------------
Oh well. It'll be funny.
*shakes with laughter* Don't tell him.
I won't, trust me.
*hides memory in the back of head*
Ow.
AGH!!!!! Your HEAD!!!! *holds Mist's head*
Gonna feel it,
When stamp it,
On your forehead,
So you will never forget that you're a reject,
And you're no one,
And you're nothin',
Little impotent one
My head is fine, Eve.
*smiles and hugs tightly*
*blinks*
*hugs back*
*sits back and stares as wasp lands on Eve's head*
...Not this again.

*shrieks and slits wasp's throat*
You know, it wasn't a wasp before. It was skin peeling off my head. I was afraid to pick at it because it might've started bleeding.
Ergh.
Well, at least it wasn't anything too bad...
*laughs at the dead wasp*
Did you make that picture?
No, but I envy the person who did. It's amazing!
It is at that. I was completely convinced. *grumbles*
Yesh. I started screaming for a while before I looked around Youtube and found nothing...
Hahaha. 😄
Are you still in hospital? 😣
Sorry, watching movie now, will switch to iPod.
*hugs tightly again*
No, I left a few hours ago.
*hugs*
Okay. I'm really worried about your arm..... What colour is your cast?
White.
Back now!
Don't worry though.
*hugs*
It's fine.
*nods* okay. God, I can't Imagine what it'd be like to fall down a flight of stairs....😰
It's not so bad.
Really.
*hugs just below suffocating point* you couldve cracked your head open.
Hi Star and Blue!
I could have.
I didnt thought
Star's here?
Hi Star!
Star and blue on the same account.
But you could've. And if you did, I'd've cried and cried and cried and cried and mumd be yelling at me and I'd still be crying.....💔
I wouldn't die on you, Eve.
It'd kill me to do that to you. Well, I'd already be dead, but...
*hugs Mist*
*hugs back*
Don't you dare get hurt, star and blue. Or anyone here. Especially Mist.
I'll try...
*suddenly starts laughing* My stupid ex boyfriend still wants me back. I wish I could tell him I already have a much much better boyfriend. Oh god, I would live to see the look on his face....😏
*grins*
Hehe.
What do you think he'd do?
I think his face would go red, he'd start spluttering a lot and his friends would laugh at him. *shrugs* he did nothing wrong, but he's still the second most annoying person I know.
Sorry if I'm slow to comment.
Watching Abduction
Understandable.
What happened?
Actually, you probably don't want I talk about it...sorry.
HA. Nothing happened. See, The reason I love writing is because In real life, I'm quick to react, often without thinking. So when he asked me to be his girlfriend, I said sure, and then I went home and realized that it was CONNOR who asked me. *shrugs* so I dumped him when he was playing handball. *laughs*
Ahahaha!
Oh my god that sounded so mean. I wasn't malicious about it, I swear!
I know.
*hugs*
2491st
*dances and sings a random song that doesn't exist*
I'm all alone~
*hugs and smiles*
Oh my god. I had a dream you moved to Adelaide and came to my school! Best dream EVER.
What? You're not alone. I'm here. *makes self as visible as possible*
Haha.
Now I just need to convince my prarebts to do it...
