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.

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 3601 – 3800 of 4814 Newer› Newest»Yes, we've all got problems.
Lav...
-Puts hand on shoulder-
I need to go now but Dylan. Please think before you do anything rash. Messed-up-person to messed-up-person, eh? Just think and think about how we are your friends and your foster parents and how it could have been worse.
*really, I'm actually crying now*
... i'm sorry that I can't understand how you feel... I just want to help...
Dylan. Killing yourself IS a terrible, terrible crime. You are throwing away the world's greatest gift - life. That is so ungrateful.
This isn't critisism, it's advive. Please try to learn from it.
What i am saying sounds really blunt coz it's in text, but believe me, i don't mean it to be.
but i think i make it worse...
If anyone made it worse I have. Bad Lynxia, another week off Blogger. No slips this time...
Just...
SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!! JUST DROP IT!
No need to kick off at us Dylan. Now I really have to go. *quick huggies for everyone*
... it is true though... about killing yourself... there are many levels of Hell. There are places for the really bad people and places for the ones who kill themselves... that's why I NEVER think about killing myself. No matter how hard life gets...
I'm sorry... but I know it's true...
Going now...
Lavender, you were being a very good friend. You weren't making it worse. Even through this horrible blunt text, i could tell how concerned you were.
Dylan, some people have been there before. They do understand. I am not one of these people. As a reslut, it would probably be in your better interests to listen to those people's advice, not mine. I am sorry. I am only trying to help, but you're right. I have no idea how to. I feel so helpless.
Lav, answer my question from yesterday.
*whispers*
I'm really sorry Dylan... I'll be on my blog...
o-okay...
my answer is...
yes...
now i'm going...
We all feel helpless about thngs in life.
Lynxia, lavender, to me, you sounded like you were giving good advice.
Okay. We'll drop the subject. Let's talk about marshmellows instead. I like to set mine on fire before i eat them. They then resemble a . . . big blacky grey-y ashy thing. But they are yum, trust me.
Okay, can we be all happy? I'm not depressed or anything, so let's drop the suicidal subject. Okay? Okay.
How are chu, Star?
I love ashy marshmallows. It's crispy on the outside, and creamy on the inside.
*plays with shadows* HEHEHEHEHEHE
-Grabs Lav's arm-
Noononono. Chu not going anywhere. This is a happy atmosphere now. :)
Yes. I've been quiet for five minutes..
Don't kill yourself because there are many things in life you havent experienced yet.
oH CRAP SORRY.
I seriously recall saying drop it. Funny that, eh?
i WAS LATE.
Marshmellows . . .
People mellowing in the marshes.
They remind me of campfires and fluffy white cumulus clouds.
An odd combination.
Odd combination. That pretty much sums burnt marshmellows up. You have the grey bit which tastes of . . . ash . . . and you hve the inside, which is all gooey.
Dylan it happens you comment then you see another one that you needed.....yeah i never get 1 st for dat reason
um... after this news... I'm not so sure... I want to post that... thing. Star knows what I'm talking about...
Dylan, if you didn't read it yet, I said yes... to yesterday's question...
I'm still going to write the story...
Who is planning on getting first?
I'm feeling pretty goose. *grins* Sorry, mistevious.
The above lines are my usual response when asked how i am.
How is everyone else?
I want first!
I got to dedicate this page we're on. I dedicated it to zathract's parents for being epic.
Lav. If you feel so bad, why not write a post about me on your blog or something?
I am i never got it ever
What about the next page, Star? If you get it?
*sighs* i wanna get it never got it
Ohh.
Hmm . . . *thinks*
Google, maybe. Or the minions. Or. . .
I KNOW! MARSHMELLOWS!
Did you know, all lollipops are evil necromancers?
Awkward silence part fourteen...
I am Necromancer!!!!! O.o ok i calmed down
That's nice, Star.
-Thinks about killing myself yesterday-
-Looks around at hospital bed-
MARSHMELLOWS!
Fail....
um... no offense or anything Dylan, but I won't be able to say very much about you, except that you're sometimes annoying and you like to try to kill yourself... but leading the subject away from that, I'm still writing that story. Even if I don't want it posted... It's good to get it out of my head...
Dylan you got it!
-Grins evilly-
Oh, the fourth time I got first accidentally.
-Grins evilly-
Oh, the fourth time I got first accidentally.
...
What story, Lav?
You could write a story with me in it, and I could write a story with you in it. Yeh?
Star, very silent.
>:)
DYLAN! YOU GOT FIRST! *gives giant sky blue lollipop* It tastes of whatever you wnt it to taste like.
*gives out more giant sky blue lollipops*
Crunch up the necromancers, yeah!
Or, suck up the necromancers . . .
But don't suck up TO the necromancers.
. . . Am i making sense?
Probs not.
um, it has everyone in it, but it's mostly about-
never mind...
FINE! I'll post it so I can show you what I'm talking about! But I'm not even finished with it yet... trying to get it done be tonight...
*by
I was writing a long comment.
I'm doing a story, people. Or are going to do one. Actual eriting starts in a matter of days. If people want to be in it, go to inkystar.blogspot.com
I can't include absolutely everyone, but i will try.
Dang i never get it.....*sighs* why?
What is it about?
Am I in it?
Writing not eriting^
I'll leave the dedication to you, Star. You do the dedication.
Star, am sneaking on my Aunt's phone again. I have one comment so I'm asking your advice. Should I tell Sparky what we discussed over e-mail? (Don't tell anyone here what it is.)
My story is about . . .
Stuff . . .
@lynxia: *blinks* Er, i dunno . . . *panics* I really don't know! I'm not a mind reader!
Um . . . Depends. If you really don't think she would tell anyone, yes. But, no offense to sparky, but she might tell flame. Love can make people do strange things.
*thinks about flame*
On the whole, probs no, then.
@dylan: YAY!!!!!!!! *gives another lollipop*
I decided, this page is dedicated to . . .
THE MINIONS!!!!!!
BECAUSE WE ARE EPIC!!!!!
THANK YOU DYLAN!!!!!!!
*frowns* Hey, three comments in a row . . . Where did everyone GO????
-Teleports behind Star-
Boo!
That makes it four . . . *goes to check if derek has posted*
Lol!!!! Niiice!!!
Lol!!!! Niiice!!!
*jumps*
*gasps*
I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT!!!!!
I'm often up in my own world so it really, REALLY makes me jump. In year five my friends would do it to me all the time because my reaction was so funny.
Being booed, i don't really mind after the first shock.
*gaze hardens* Being tickled, i HATE. People at school do it all the time. And i just can't stop jerking away. They KNOW how much i HAAAAAATE it, and yet they STILL do it.

-Tickles until my arms are too tired to move-
I'm still here... I think I'm almost done with the post... but I'm going to wait till tonight to actually post it... For those who don't come on at night, my night BTW, check my blog tomorrow. I'm sure it will be up by then.
Brb....mom needs ipad
*mutters*
if I even POST it...
Lav, can you just post it as a comment now so I can read what you've done so far?
Yes, people coming up behind me is kinda funny.
But being tickled IS NOT.
I just don't get it. I detest it. And they still do it. Why haven't they all realised how much it disturbs me? Has the message not penetrated their thick skulls?
My talking gets ess casual and more weird and formal when i am annoyed for some reason.
me too star...
And I don't want to do that Dylan...
*looks down again*
...like I said... it's... I... no.
STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HAAAAAAAATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*glares* DYLAN. IT. IS. NOT. FUNNY>
WHY DO PEOPLE NOT GET IT?
THEY WOULD NOT LIKE IT IF I STOLE THEIR STUFF, WOULD THEY????
NO, THEY WOULDN'T. AND I DON'T LIKE BEING TICKLED.
TO ME, IT IS NOT A GAME. IT IS MORE THAN SIMPLY ANNOYING.
I don't like being tickled either, Star... I'm VERY ticklish on my back... my friends find it funny to show someone just how much I wiggle when I get tickled there...
Starbright Ink is a nice name.
But i prefer shorter first names and longer surnames on me.
Plus, Starbright doesn't suit me as well as Star.
Okay, then, Star, then turn invisible and walk away. :D
I don't like it when they don't stop.
Baack
I'm ticklish by my neck.
It's not my friend that find it amusing, it's a load of other people . . . In my english class, my languages class, my games(hockey + football plus netball for girls and rugby for boys) class. That's where they mainly are.
I don't not like it when they don't stop. I hate it, full stop. It's a really horrible sensation.
I don't not like it when they don't stop. I hate it, full stop. It's a really horrible sensation.
Sorry double post.
I-I... I think... I'm going to...
Yeah... I'm just gonna... hold on.
WB zafira!
I zoomed my screen in and i don't know how i did it and i don't know how to zoom back out again . . .
*groans* Still not back to normal . . .
OH FOR THE LOVE OF-!
*storms in and smashes a boulder*
Lavender, it'll be fine. Honest.
Like I said, I'm almost finished... I'll just... show you now...
before I show it though... I'm just going to say, that I'm really scared... what you'll think... not done yet, but... most of it finished... yeah...
Hello zathract.
Are you okay?
I need to go now. Bb on my phone in a mo.
I happy in my li'l world
Me? Am I fine?! Yes I am GREAT!
I am not the one in hospital with three broken ribs, a shattered knee and a broken ankle!
um... I can't post it here... too many words, I think...
Speaking of that then, what happened to Dylan?
Im going next Saturday to see the Hunger Games...in school we doing a countdown
Save it, Mist.
okay, there's Dylan. Hi again. :)
*smashes a second boulder and storms out again*
and, as I'm talking to Dylan, I can't get the story as a comment. Too many words.
Gosh Mist ill torture it with shadows! Or....*takes out Sanguine's razor* this baby
Post it in bits, lavender.
Um . . .
ARE MY COMMENTS STAYING???
...I-
now I want you guys to read it... but now you can't. not yet...
Yes! I see them still! :D
Oh golden god . . .
YAY! MY COMMENTS ARE STAYING!
WOW! It works now! :D
...post it in bits...
*frowns*
but-
it's going to be hard...
My gosh....i hope i can go to blogland tomorrow o be at grandma's for St. Patrick's Day
... okay, I'll try.
*bounces around on bench*
*jumps down and hugs everyone*
*gives cookies*
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*gets back up on bench and alternatly stamps heels down*
*looks down at feet* I seem, in real life, to keep doing this. It is weird.
People, in real life, my feet can't seem to stop moving when i want to stay still. Not right now, in general. Not all the time, quite often.
It freaks me out.
*hugs everyone again, still happy over the fact that my comments are staying*
story finished...
*still hiding my face*
I'm deleting these comments after...
Thats not strange i thought that was interesting actually
*shrugs*
Hell, everyone's been through that before Hope. It's nothing different from anyone else.
*walks out of blogland*
...i-it's how I feel sometimes...
*my hands shake, tears in my eyes*
I-I'm going to delete it now...
Same....but still she had the guts to post it i sure dont.
Oh, lavender . . . *hugs*
I understand that it's hard to trust people when they're just words on a page.
Look, about dark sides . . . I'm not talking about crucify and darquesse here, i'm talking about . . . Like, i stole my friend's pen once coz i saw it and i thought it could maybe be mine that i lost so i took it then i knew she'd lost her pen and was a bit upset over it but i still didn't have the courage to give it back.
I am not going to list all the horrible parts of me coz i'm too ashamed to, but, we all have a dark side. Dark emotions. Feelings we don't really like to admit. A real dark side isn't a consience that takes over you, it's a part of you. Without that, the good part wouldn't be same. It isn't the good qualities about people we like, it's how the good and bad are mingled.
Anything else i have to say i will put in the next comment as this one is really long.
has anyone here read 'The knife of never letting go'?
anyone?
1
No i havent Jakro
I got a Dark side i srsly do....i was out in Slytherin fir a reason im a Necromancer for a reason
1
that took SO long to delete! but now it's gone... I'll be posting it on my blog once it's actually finished... whoever didn't see it yet, I'm posting it tonight. on my blog.
um, it's not the right comment part...
Ooh
oh... sorry!
We got bout 90 something til thn xD
okay, now that I showed you guys... I'm gonna get going on school stuff... will be distant.
ugh...
*is sick*
um... Jakro? you didn't read that, did you? The things I posted?
About better friends . . . Yeah, i know . . . Sometimes you think, well, yeah . . .
I have wondered about just dropping out, you know? Never returning. I think, people will soon forget me, the blog doesn't need me. What is the point? It won't benefit me in real life. If i never see them again i won't have any awkward moments when we are made to work together in groups for school, i will still have people to sit with at lunch. If they do wonder about me, i won't be there, i won't have to deal with what they think. I could just drop out.
And, really, it was more the thought of people in a few year's time saying i was a legend and had been here ages that kept me coming.
Of course, once i'm here, i don't want to leave.
Lavender, you were so brave to admit all that. There are things i am so ashamed of, i . . . Can't tell you . . . But you told us.
Lavender, i do think of you differently. I think of you with more respesct. That is all. Honest. I still want to be your friend.
Testing done!!!!! Yay!!!!
why does everyone act so depressed?
*sigh*
Im not depressed im happy i finished math and reading PSSA's
except you zaf, you arent depressed
*reads Star's comment, laughing and crying at the same time*
Thank you Star... I want to be your friend too.
*smiles*
but the story doesn't end there... I need to think of the end a bit more... Thank you all, for...
*smiles bigger*
Friends are:
F: funny
R: real
I: interesting... :P
E: endless
N: nice
D: daring
and S: special :) THANK YOU TO FRIENDS!!!
hahaha
*smiles*
*smiles*
awesome and sooooo true
*still smiling*
Jakro, I consider you a friend too. :)
and Zafira. You are a friend of mine. :)
*shouts to all of blogland*
I will never forget a friend!!!
O.o thanks!
*is happy*
Not all of us Necromancers are bad
*smiling*
you know that I made this poem, Acrostic, last night? I actually thought of it. I thought that story last night too, and stayed up till 4 AM! Just lying in bed... :P
It feels a bit pointless, spending all my time staring at a screen when i'll never meet you guys anyway. But other times, i realise it is worth it.
I am often a lot more bothered about fantasy than the real world. My life revolves around stories. Reading them, writing them. In school recently i just look at the annoying girls who tickle me and don't really know why i am bothering with any of this. I feel, i have you guys. Who cares about real live people? They can think what they want about me and i can just not care. I can be thought of as really weird (i am anyway) and it won't matter coz i have blogger.
I realise that this is the opposite of your dilemma, but it's still similar. It scares me. Terrifies me. I feel like a character in a book. I've often made a character think like that, and now i am. I don't want my whole life to be make believe. I need to get away from the computers and back in the real world. The real world needs to feel REAL again.
This is the truth. Lavender, you have made me say things i never would have otherwise. You, Lavender Hope, are good for our health. You're like our own little vegetable.
I was thinking so much, I couldn't fall asleep! :P
@star just like Fletcher i just reread that today
You are right lavender. I do not feel at all depressed. I feel sort of relieved and happy at the same time. It is a very nice feeling. *smiles at lavender*
*goes to copy and paste my really long commrnts on lavender's blog*
I know zaf. That is a cool quote.
*is laughing without tears now*
Vegetable? Really? :P I don't mind being called a veggie though. Thank you Star. You are one of my BEST friends here.
*smiles*
:)
Lav, what clothing does your character wear? Or you could just post your bio..
Actually, i'll copy and paste them onto a draft blog post or summat, then when she posts the story i'll put them on there.
Thanks lavender!
That makes my happy feeling increase by quite a lot . . .
*smiles at Star*
okay.
Dylan, I'll just post my bio. bb soon.
I got a draft for part 2 on my fanfiction if i hadnt had to go it'd br one huge one *sighs* wonder if Derek will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day with Skulduggery lol
Yeah im soooo odd
Lavender Hope
Age: 15, almost 16
Appearance: Has dark hair, brown eyes, and glasses (but likes using contacts if in fights so as not to break her glasses). Is smaller than she looks, so she looks like a 12 year-old.
Clothes: Plain jeans, not too tight. Likes wearing long sleeves. She wears zip-up jackets, with hoods, over T-shirts if necessary. Clothes are not magic. She likes being plain. Simple.
Weapon: When she can, she likes using a bow and arrow, but in close combat, she uses daggers, or knives if you call them that. Easy to conceal, quick to bring out. At the moment, she only uses one. It's hidden in a secret, safe pocket in her sleeve.
Likes: being mostly friendly, hanging out with friends, making new friends, CHOCOLATE!, and getting into trouble
Dislikes: vampires, anyone who messes with her friends, killing people, cause that's just not how she is, and people who are annoying.
Magic: Adept, can transform into any animal. (Thought of by Star, given to me. Thank you Star!) Also, her favorite animal to be is a wolf or dog, but if it's for sneaking around, she'll be a cat. For being fast, she likes hawks.
Her weakness about her power is that she can only be an animal for 2 hours and a half. And she has to turn back to a human before turning into another animal. It takes one second to change her form.
Description:
Since she is smaller than she looks, she acts like a 10 year old, which gets a lot of people annoyed, and is perfect for an unsuspecting bad guy... But, sometimes, like when she fights, she is perfectly mature. Is hyper a lot, so she talks fast and that gets on peoples nerves. And when she's hyper and excited, she starts to bounce up and down on the spot. Talks and jokes a lot, but knows when things get serious (like when it comes to fighting or friends), and tries to make her friends feel better when they get sad. Is very loyal to her friends.
Also, she likes using a British accent cause she thinks it sounds cool, but her real accent is American. Specifically, Californian.
Coping and pasting done!
. . . I know, i'm lazy . . . But, to be fair, it DID take me ages to write out.
I'd be here an hour writing bout Zafira the fanfiction was done on my little sis (not irl) but i will do it if wanted by others :)
yeah, I copied and pasted my bio from the one on your blog. :P I just changed and added some things.
Is Dylan even here still? I gotta go...
*groans then whacks my palm against my forehead*
DRAT! I still need to do homework! It's still friday here. Darn...
Copy and paste are niice :P ahh ill work on my bio
Hey, shall i tell you something else that gave me a feeling of togetherness?
Lavrnder, you were there. This guy called CalumK or summat came on so he could say mean stuff about lynxia. It was quite funny actually. What i liked was that we all stuck together. Like a minions only group. It was like, if you DARE say anything against one of us, you'll feel the wrath of all of us. No-one even dreamt of treating him like one of us after he started saying all that stuff.
Yeah, we minion stick together . . . Plus, everything else aside, lynxia is nice and calum is not. Easy as pie. Not mathematical pie, the pie-flavoured kind.
yes, I still have homework on Friday...
Lav! nononono. I need to show you the first paragraph first!
Kai Oblivion stood in the narrow alleyway, waiting for Lavender Hope. And then he saw a dog. Brown fur, golden brown eyes. Kai smiled.
“You’re late,” Kai said.
The dog suddenly lost its tail, formed different ears, the snout turned into a nose, and within a matter of seconds, it was a human. Lavender smiled. She was wearing a long sleeve shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a hoodie.
“I know, I had some... trouble. There was a guy who tried to kill another guy, so I decided to... fight.”
“I thought you weren’t the fighting type,” Kai said sternly.
“I get engaged in battle easily. Bad guys always buzzing around me like... like what?”
“Like moths to a flamer,” Kai said, stifling a laugh.
“And I hate secret missions or secret bad guys,” Lavender said.
Kai nodded. “You know about them, you don’t like it, and you can’t talk about it. Sort of like a fart in church,” Kai said, and his shoulders shook with laughter.
Gtg eat ull do my bio later
It's friday here as well:)
Friday, 10:08 PM. I don't have to do homework till sunday:)
*laughs at Star's comment*
Yeah, we sure showed him! :D and I remember re-posting your comments so you could still be heard.
*smiles*
Hi flame!
We are all feeling very happy and as oart of a team at the mo. Well, i am.
Blogland is a nice place again:)
Shall i tell lynxia to come back?
*shaking from laughter*
wow Dylan! That's good! I like it! :D
Yeh? Thanks.
*is smiling cause I'm so happy*
Yeah. Thanks again for that, lavender. It's so annoying when you want to get a message accross but no-one can see it.
I owe you everything.
I owe ALL of you everything.
But mostly you.
No, lavender, i do not think you are especially extraly muchly like fletcher. These quotes just . . .happen.
*sighs happily*
we are like one big family. People from all over the world, coming together, even if only online, making new friends, keeping their old ones. Nothing could be better.
*smiles as I lay on the grass, looking up into the blue, cloudless sky*
I am so happy too . . .
So.
Confessions make you happy.
I should try and remember that.
*thinks of . . .something and feels guilty*
Don't worry, my something doesn't involve you guys.
Yeah. Team. One big family.
I'm not gonna be a loner and climb the cliff right now. *lies on grass by lavender and picks at it, tearing up the individual blades of it*
Sorry. I just have to fiddle.
greetings
Hm, has anyone seen sparky?
I need to do something.
ignore that last comment. I'm staying.
-Gives Star Trek sign to Nix-
Nadu Nadu.
Hey hope and Dylan.
Did anything happen?
Hi Nix!
No I didn't see Sparky recently.
Lavvv.
Can you come into the kitchen? I need to talk to you.
Live Long and Prosper
and no, befire anyone asks, i have never seen star trek
Bye lavender!
*gazes upwards at my fav colour*
I love the sky. Particually the colour and the clouds.
Which makes me being called star slightly odd, as they aren't my favourite part of the sly
saw her yesterday...
I saw her this morning, AND am very mad.
...like what?
*looks at Flame suspiciously*
If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, then no. nothing happened. just, I let Dylan use me in a story.
Gah! you guys comment too fast!
