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.

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.

I watched this a few days ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Belfast is having an event on the night of the twentieth of April and we're gonna Kony this town up.
We watched it in school. I was disgusted, both at that monster and everyone who did nothing to stop him or even let us, the youth, or even the average citizen, know about this.
Here first! HA! I knew you guys would finish the post today. You comment a lot! :P But so do I. Night guys! I would be gone by the time you get here!
MIST!!!!
Mist.......
*starts crying*
I didn't know there was a limit of 5000 posts. But there are. And that amused me.
*stomps in*
Why did you leave?
*appears and waits*
Oh, for....
*curls up in hammock*
Why? Why did you leave?
Mist...! *climbs up tree*
What is wrong? I don't understand!
*shrugs but doesn't reply*
Mist...
*lies in hammock next to mists hammock and looks at him*
What's wrong? Please tell me.
-Throws pebbles down at Naggy-nag-
Hey, pumpkin!
-Is up in tree-
Shut. Up. Dylan.
-Teleports near Eve-
Eve.
-Puts hand on shoulder-
This world is... This world is..
-Words won't come out-
This world is horrible. There is.. nothing God...
God didn't want this. Kony, all those criminals. It's just..
-Screams in rage-
*looks at Eve*
...I...You don't want to know...
Mist....
-Yells at sky-
WHY, GOD! WHY DID YOU TAKE MY PARENTS! WHY DID YOU TAKE THE PEOPLE I LOVE?!?!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Mist, stop using Nagiar for the moment. He's irrelevant at the moment.
Mist, please.
Mist. Don't bundle these things up. Take it from me. I've lost more than I can handle.
-Looks at-
Just say it.
*reaches out to touch Mist's shoulder*
*looks and Eve again, sighs and sits up*
My parents just told me what they're giving me as my punishment.
*stares at Mist* ....what?
Mist, your punishment for what?
The question is - what is the punishment?
*sits up*
-Becomes scarce-
*swallows* what is it?
*sighs*
They're doing something that will truly disable me coming back here.
For how long?
They have decided that because I don't seem to be able to keep to myself and obey their rules on the internet...
*starts crying again*
*hugs Mist*
:O
What?
Your parents can't do that!
What did you do to deserve this, Zath -- not that I think you deserve it.
That they're going to get rid of it.
They're getting rid of the modem and my parents will be buying 3G laptops.
*talks quietly*
I didn't think they'd go this far.
*gasp/cries*
*hugs Mist tighter*
No! No, they can't do that!!!!!
Mist, what did you do for your parents to TAKE AWAY MODEMS AND BUY NEW LAPTOPS?!?!?!?
... oh dear. That's bad. That's very bad.
*cries on Mist shoulder*
Calamity - Why do you keep popping up where you don't belong?
Mist, answer me.
...Please...
Dylan, he has every right to be here, stop being so selfish.
*hugs Eve tightly*
Mist, im so, so, sorry...
I know..
I'm just angry about my parents and all.
What did you do that's so bad, Mist? Please tell me...
I'm a she. *wince*
But thanks Mist.
Any way to convince them?
Uh, I talked on here, Dylan.
Sorry, Calamity. She.
And no.
Eve, can you please tell me?
Zath, can I take a guess?
*kisses mist* no....
Dylan, I answered already. I talked on here.
*kisses back*
I'm sorry.
*closes eyes*
No. I don't want this first. Eve gets the page rights.
Did you do something on here, and your parents did a little checkup to see if you were behaving appropriate and all, and they saw, so you got punished?
....when will they be getting them?
...No. I talked on here.
They've got them already, Eve.
I'm lost.
Just tell me, please.
I dedicate this page to Mist.
Mist, I love you. I love you so much.
I'm not meant to talk to people I don't know. Is that clear enough, pickle?
*stares* so this is your last time here?
*sighs*
I love you too, Eve. I'm so sorry about this.
Oh, God, Mist. You broke their internet rules?
So, how long are we talking? A month, two?
Don't say sorry, Mist. None of this is your fault.
How about...forever?
It's ALL my fault.
I wasn't careful enough.
*looks at Mist* no. No, that's not a reason.
So...there's no chance at all?
Who did you talk to that was SO bad?
You.
Sparky, Val, Nix, Gab, Hope, Lynxia, Izz.
...Eve...
*glares*
No, forget that. I'm not giving them my phone.
Zathract. We didn't even do anything. Was it this website that was SO bad and they didn't allow you, yet somehow, you're on it now?
I AM NOT ALLOWED TO BE TALKING TO PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW, DYLAN! I AM! IS THAT F*CKING CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOUR MINUSCULE BRAIN?!
Your phone? What about your phone?
It has Bluetooth. Which means I can use it's internet.
Zathract, I am NOT in the mood.
*blinks* so you can use it??
I can.
And I'm not giving it to my parents.
And neither am I, pickle. Perhaps if you just thought by yourself for more than ten seconds you would have to have it explained to you word for word.
Is that clear, Zath? I'm not in the mood.
*ray of delicious hope*
Have they asked for it?
Oh.
Don't worry.
They aren't getting it.
Today is the date my mum died of terminal cancer.
OK, seriously Dylan. You keep saying these things. What do you want us to do?
"I'm so sorry..."? Or maybe some crying?
.....
*hugs*
Oh god, I love you.
What would you do if I killed myself, Zath? Because I'm seriously tempted to do it right now.
I wouldn't do anything. Partially because I can't, partially because I don't know you.
I'm saying goodbye to you. Tell everyone I'm dead. Goodbye, Eve. And Zath. Goodbye forever.
Say your goodbyes.
And it wouldn't be my fault.
Think this is a joke?
Well have a great laugh. :|
Not blaming you, Zath, but I want to be with my mother.
Um...bye, Dylan.
Goodbye.
In memory of Kai Oblivion, who's last wish is World Peace. R.I.P. 16/13/2012
I don't think this is a joke.
I've seen this all before.
Bye, Dylan. If you really are dead by now, I hope you're happy.
......yup, NOW I know why my parents don't want me on here.
*sighs and curls up again*
*lies down in hammock*
This may be just...nothing, but remember how Phoenix said to let your parents talk to him?
That wouldn't be too good an idea would it?
Not in the slightest.
Mm. Thought so.
What the hell? WHAT THE HELL?
Now they're saying it was all a joke...
What? What?!
WHAT?!
I don't...understand...
They NEVER do jokes...
*stares*
Wait...what was the joke?
That they're taking the modem away.
"We hate it, but we can see that we aren't going to stop you from talking to people you don't know."
*blinks, surprised with self* not sure what the sound I just made us called. It was a choke-laugh.
They said that????
*eyes become the size of live chickens* Hug them. Hug them now.
No, that'd make it worse.
Oh. Right. Okay.
*runs back in*
I just asked my dad about us.
What did he say?
He said "You can have a girlfriend. Just make sure we don't know about her until you're 16."
...
*blinks* um.
That's practically exactly the same thing my dad said to me!
I know. That's why I'm so confused.
Okay, so, they don't know about me. *becomes unknowable by Mists parents*
Wait, did you say, your girlfriend, or girlfriends in general, or..?
Girlfriends in general, but I asked about us.
Oh. Okay. Right. Okay. So.....Um!!!
Um?
Um!!! :D
*hugs*
*hugs back* I knew you'd come back. Even though you didn't leave.
*groans*
I'm getting sick of all this "leaving, returning" thing. I'm staying and that's that.
*stomps foot on hammock and it tips*
Ow!
Agh! Your arm!!!
I've decided that on the night of the start of holidays, I'm going to stay up all night. Even if no one's here for 3 hours.
*grins back*
*tilts head to look at him sideways*
You're so brave. *swoons*
I will try to convince mum and dad to keep the Internet on until they forget a about it on that day.
*grins*
It would be nice if you could stay up too.
Arg. Shower time, I'll be back in five.
*kisses and runs off*
*smiles* you know, now that I think about it, I'm the only one in my school who lets my hair down even though it's not above my shoulders. That's only because I look super weird when my hair's tied up. *remembers earlier years and groans*
*kisses back* bye mist.
*looks at battery life* ugh! I just charged it though!!
Back. I forgot I had one when I got home.
Hi!
Did your parents give you your iPod back?
Yeah. They decided not to limit me to anything. :)
*smiles* I was just wondering if Draw Something would work from Sydney to Adelaide. *shrugs*
Um, I have to leave for a few mins. Be back in five or so. *hugs and leaps out of sight*
OK, bye!
Back
Yay.
I just finished another image for you, Eve.
Still here?
Ooh, yay! Can I see it? Pleeeeeease?
Yep. I'm just uploading it now.
:D I know I'll love it.
*admires homescreen*
http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff372/NeoZathier/SP/EveCarpet.png
There. It's kind of like a carpet with your name in it...kind of.
*mouth drops open* wow.
It isn't that good, but I was bored, so...
I.
Love it.
So.
MUCH.
*save save save*
I wish I had some kind of artistic talent so I could make your name.
....
Ah.
*shrugs*
I can make my own anyway.
And you know, if you want, you can just download GIMP. It's a free editing software and really easy to use.
...I think.
Mist, do you have the game Draw Something on your iPod?
Nope. I'll look that up now.
Kay. 😝
Just bought it.
AGH!!
*hides in a shell and speaks quietly*
There was a free one.
*shrugs*
*closes eyes* agh. Sorry. Uh, I was just going to say....
Um, can you create a game? My user name is Eve the ROCK.
Sure.
*starts nibbling toungue* thanks.
Argh, my drawing was horrible.
*grins* that's what makes it FUN.
*laughs*
Any idea what it is yet? (I kind of gave it away)
Did you finish it?
Yeah. It's your move.
Hmmm. Might take a while to come over, considering you're all the way in Sydney. I'll be checking. :)
OK.
*hums Numb*
Arg, that rhymed!
Sent my drawing!
OK. :)
*gives iPod the Death-Stare*
Load.
Yay! Rhymes!
Chimes, limes, climbs, times...
It won't take TOO long. :)
I kind of failed at my drawings...many times.....
Lol. That's OK. I'm normally terrible at drawing...although everyone I've ever met has disagreed...
I disagree as well. I envy your drawing.
Because I can't even draw a... Whatever it is I may have drawn for you. ;)
*laughs and lies down on carpet*
*lies next to Mist* I love my pyjamas. 😊
So you mentioned. :)
Switching to iPod. Brb
Kay.
I wonder If there's a song about pyjamas....
Back.
*looks through YouTube for pyjama songs*
First song I find about pyjamas and it's got the f word in it. *frowns* not what I had in mind.
I wonder if you've gotten my picture yet.
Sent my picture.
