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 601 – 800 of 4814 Newer› Newest»Freakfan, start singing 'We Are Family'.
*sighs*
Zathract, grow up. All I wanted to do is get first so I could give that awesome dedication.
"We are family . . . . . . "
(I know what song your talking about but I don't know the lyrics)
*hums along to song*
WHY THE FREAKING HELL IS MY LAPTOP LOADING EVERYTHING BUT DEREK'S BLOG!?!?!?!?!?!?
Uh, Sparky... You just commented. Which means the blog loaded.
And I'm in a really crappy mood right now, because of Kony. I'm happy wit you, but if you irritate me, I'll attempt to kill you.
*storms back in because I have a reason*
You could have asked whoever actually got first to do another mini-ded like Val let you earlier. Because people actually LIKE you now!
As I said, I'm no longer among them anymore, but either way, WE DON'T WASTE SPACE. You are the one who needs to grow up if you have petty reasons like that to waste 20 comments on a NEW post.
*sticks link into blogland*
http://myuselessshortstories.blogspot.com.au/
Comment and crap.
*leaves*
Is all good. :)
Oh, Hey Sparky!
How's ECHO coming along?
*frowns and ooks at unfinished story*
On iTouch.
Don't f*ck with me Dylan.
www.bubblesforblood.blogspot.com
Watch it, Sparky.
*dun dun duuuuuuun*
*laughs*
Watch what? Oh, right. You'd better be careful Sparky, Dil-pickle might get angry. We won't like him when he's angry.
*cowers in sarcastic fear*
Like the name?
HAH!!!
I GOT IT TO WORK!!!
No, but I think it can be applied to you if you take out my name.
Hell, Dylan, read the link.
http://bubblesforblood.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/one-for-you-two-for-me-chapter-3-part-6.html
Zathract, you utter moron. -Kicks in face-
Kony is out there. This world is horrible. All of us are labrats in cages waiting for a result! You need to learn the reality of this world, because it is not a nice place. Blogland, Earth, it's all the same. You need to adapt to the environment we're in, because people like Kony are killing people, making others kill people, and now he needs to be killed. Frankly, I'm not in a very nice mood at the moment. Now forgive me for all my bad moves I might make in this mood, because I can't help it. So, if I do something weird or not nice or anything, you'll have to grow up and get over it.
Hahaha. Nice name Mist.
*looks at Dylan*
Oops.
Sorry.
Dylan, if you keep acting like this, I will say something offensive.
Un-bleeped.
http://bubblesforblood.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/one-for-you-two-for-me-chapter-3-part-6.html
Please come back Dylan.
I'm not forgiving you for any damn thing. I don't like you, Dil-pickle, in fact I hate you right now.
And Kony is out there. Whoopdy-f*cking-doo, what're we gonna do about it? You want to stop everything and go and join the mob? You can go do that, Dil-pickle, but we sure as hell don't have to. We all hate Kony but he is in Africa. OK? AFRICA, not AUSTRALIA and WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
So buckle up, stop complaining about him and get on with life.
This is blogland not a protest, Dil-pickle.
*sits with head in hands*
No.
And yes, I am taking over Nix's position while he is gone.
As I said, I'm not bothering with you anymore, Dil-pickle.
*turns and plays Conflict on guitar*

Please comment.
Hello??
Hello??
Shadow! I commented!
Zathract...
I have no idea what to say to you. But... We can do something about it. Anything. I don't know how, but just... try.
Just because he's in another country we can't do anything? You're a real moron. Seriously. I've done the drugs, the drinking, all that crap in my life. And now I want world peace, and Kony is there, and he's killing helpless people. The truth is, you don't care. You're SO superior, and you think you can say things like that, which is saying the children can take care of themselves. But, you know what, Mist, they can't. And you need to grow up, and start behaving older than you actually are. Because you're you. And you're a selfish person, and you take people for granted. Everyone's mind is based on cruelty. I choose to not base it on cruelty, but you haven't. You're a creature that has lost empathy, and that's not the way God made us. Don't believe in him? I don't give a freaking crap. Okay? Okay. Glad that's sorted out, because I'm going to try my best to act normal and happy, because it's my freaking birthday.
On your blog.
Hi!
Damn.
I have to go now Dylan.
Come out if you want, please.
*gives invisible Dylan big bear hug*
Please don't get angry.
*leaves concerningly*
Damn.
I have to go now Dylan.
Come out if you want, please.

Please don't get angry.

Hey, Lynxia.
Hi Zath! *hugs* Hi Dylan! *hugs* How are you both?
*ignores Dil-pickle happily and continues playing Conflict*
Good. I love your story. Not to be judgemental or anything, but it'd be SO awesome if it were in third person.
SHADOW!!!!!!!
*hugs*
YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I quite like writing in 1st person. B&W is in 3rd. You were talking to me right? Glad you like it Zath. Changed the doughnut type too.
Hi Sparky. What's with the shouting? 0_o
Commented Zath.
Shadow. You. Are. AWESOME.
*hugs her again*
Don't worry, there will be no mention of that, Sparky.
*grins*
Shadow!
http://myuselessshortstories.blogspot.com.au/
Please comment!
I don't like your tone.
*is looking,at Sparky, fearing for her mental health* You feeling OK?
And...
*growls*
Dylan, I WANT to be angry with you, but for some reason I am in a very forgiving mood right now. Which is WAY weird for me, but whatever.
If you could comment on my post too that'd be good. :)
I read the story.
Holy f*ck, I love it.
...I'm not sure whether I should post my 'war' poem on my blog or not...
*becomes serious*
Really. No mention. You are Sparky. Or Sparks. Whatever works.
I think you should. People will know what I am talking about then.
Bye everyone!
Geez, nobody saw me.
*sighs*
Okay.
Doing it now.
You should Sparky.
Crap, my comments are disappearing again.
I accept your apology, Zathract.
I have to go to school now. Bye! *hugs everyone*
Dylan, I forgave you, and I am really regretting it.
You're so f*cking... pretentious.
Awww... Bye Shadow!!!
Dylan I didn't apologize. But whatever. Comment!!
Hi Ink!
Darn. Bye, Lynxia!
Hi Star!
http://insidesparkybraginskishead.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/poem.html
Commented, Sparky.
Who removed what message??
Me.
Gotta go, BYE!!!
Bye Sparky!
I assume Dylan's either gone or has gone silent again, Star's probably vanished, Lynxia is gone...
Does that mean...?
*waits*
I'M ALONE AGAIN!
*rams riff on guitar randomly*
Wow, that actually sounded pretty good.
*plays it again*
Brutal. Fast. Flowing.
*considers, then pulls out iPod and records it*
And now...
*sends it to members of Forgotten Beginning*
Ben'll probably be able to come up with some good sounding lyrics and I'll get the drums to go fast and heavy. And bass...Bass can do whatever Bass does I suppose.
700!
*does another stupid little dance and then glares at whoever's watching*
Stalker.
Hmmm...

Loading the Wepaon...Ah.
*hums main riff*
Huh. I'm nodding too.
YOU AREN'T ALONE EVE!!
There should have been a comma between "ALONE" and "EVE!!".
Whatever.
*groans*
I have an assignment to do.
I don't want to do it though...
Obviously.
Who would WANT to do assignments?
I mean, OK, I suppose that somehow SOME of them might be fun later on, but no one PREFERS doing them as opposed to other stuff.
That'd just be...
Dil-pickle Typical I suppose.
Oh wait, sorry. I forgot I'm not angry with you anymore.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
There, it happened again. I'm the new Star.
Eve, Zath, comment on everything!
Your comment disappeared? I didn't read it, sorry. Once, my comments kept vanishing, and then they stopped. *shrugs* that probably doesn't help you in the slightest.
*sighs*
It's useless.

It stayed!! Yay!
I'm back!
I saw your comment. Thanks.
*hugs*
Mist, my info is on Val's latest post, and my stupid iPod isn't letting me copy. Can you get the info from there? Sorry.
Oh, okay. *hugs*
So we're all gonna die in the end?
Nah.
Most of us.
;)
Oh, okay.
.....
*doesnt say anything for a moment*
......
Will I die?
That's so weird I just found out about Kony yesterday and I was talking about it on Facebook...
COINCIDENCE??
I...um...
I don't know. I hope not. If you die I'll die though.
If I die before you die (if you die) you won't die. If that makes sense.
But if you die before I die (if I die) then I'll die too.
Gab!!

Hello?
Sorry, ma iPod is stuffing up again
That's OK.
It's so weird I am getting used to be calling Gabriel...
*reads through comments* ah. Okay. I don't mind if I do or don't die, as long as I don't die of fear or shock or life-story.
*reads top comments* haha. This gives me more time to catch up.
You'll never catch up!
Even if my comments...wait...
Nooooo!
*does the Luke Skywalker scream*
*suddenly beams* Derek knows who I am now. *rainbow bursts out of self*
Me too!
And I told him to say hi to you, Eve!...And got a detention for being late to class as as result.
It was still worth it though!
I hope.
760th
Mwahahahaha!
Thank you Mist! *blows kiss* i wasn't even at school yet. I was going to fill the whole page with my madness, but mum was screaming at me to go to school.
Okay, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone.
Lucky northern people. Getting first page would be like being early for school to them. I envy them so much.
That's OK.
*hugs again*
Argh, evil school.
One more day though. Then I can sleep!
Gab, did you comment?!

ROBIN and PHOENIX were the true loveBIRDS.
Hahahsha
*looks at comment for fourth time*
I still don't...oh, I get it.
Damn it, Gab. You need to give me your permission and info!
*sulks* No one gets my jokes.
Oh, Eve, you may enjoy Facade by Disturbed if you liked Inside the Fire.
There's a guitar solo in there too.
Hey, woah, what the hell? I tapped the screen, and now everything is a different font...
Oh yeah Eve, I just read your joke hahahahahahahha
Okay, I'll listen to it now! *searches for earphones*
*nods* oh yeah. Love this solo.
For my English Assignment, we have to write something from three different people's perspectives on the same event.
I've written 2 of the people so far, could you give me feedback?
...Or are assignments too boring? They probably are... :(
Yeah. NOW you get it.
Cool. It's a good song.
Sure, post it here. :)
But I reckon I still like inside the fire the best. ;)
Of course. xD
OK, here it is so far...
Person 1
I am sitting on a floor with a bomb strapped around my neck. There is a large stain of my own blood on the polished tiled ground but honestly I don’t care. My own life is in danger and could very possibly end at any second; I don’t care about a stupid stain in this stupid temple thing or whatever it is. The ceilings are large…high and even the walls are lined with millions of tiny little red tiles. I’ve like these kind of designs, always, especially in some of those Buddhist Temple’s in Thailand, but I never understood why people bother about them. Details…effective but they consume a whole lot of damn time, that’s for sure. Look at me. I’m kneeling with around a dozen guards all armed with guns around me, I’m bleeding heavily, have a bomb around my neck and I’m writing about tiny tiles in Temple’s that are quite irrelevant to my current situation. Why am I even writing? I’m sure I can think of plenty other things I can do in this place while I’m waiting to do die. Well, if I die. I certainly hope I don’t die but I’m pretty sure that the minister or president of whatever country this isn’t going to give the ransom money for me. Shame too. I really wish that I had more time to live. I like living. It’d always been fun. Before I got captured by those lunatics and had this bomb put on me anyway. In the end, I know what I need to do now. And it’s terrifying; I’m shaking at the thought. I need to move, activate the bomb, and blow these guys to pieces. They could be terrorists for all I know. And if they escape after they get the money they could capture plenty more people for demands of money.
So as I said, I have to activate the bomb. Too bad. If this piece of paper somehow manages to survive the explosion, I leave everything that belongs to me to my loving wife and child. I want to give my deepest apologies to everyone who put in so much effort into building this place. Goodbye…
Person 2
The Taj Mahal is gone and what’s left of it is being slowly devoured by an evil all-consuming flame. It’s a sickening sight to see this…A wonderful building, hundreds of years old, exclusive, symbolic and wonderfully crafted; now crumpling and cowering under flame.
I’m not sure whether it was in shock or because of the force of the shockwave, that just visible wall of energy, forcing us back, but we all staggered back a few steps just after the explosion. The shockwave itself was powerful and it crashed into me hard but my stomach was the thing that was hurting me. It felt empty and cold at the sight of the Taj Mahal. There are people everywhere, women screaming, children crying and men looking very white. There were some pitiful sights of people writhing in intense agony up near the destroyed building, the flame eating at them too, but they soon grew tired and blackened before resting in what I hoped was peace. The officials, police or whatever they had out here, should have arrived, I thought, but I didn’t give it much thought. The sky had turned to a dull grey and storm clouds had quickly gathered out of nowhere and cast a gloomy air across the already dark scene. The fire slowly begun to dim before dying entirely as the rain started to beat down on us.
I was feeling terrible…Debris of the building was scattered everywhere and the smoke slowly rose into the air and mixed with the much smaller amount of steam from the corpses. I didn’t want to know what happened to cause the disaster. But I did know that a terrible rage was now gripping me fiercely, propelling my anger and turning my knuckles white as my nails bore into my palms. I knew that I was shaking with uncontrolled anger and that the magnitude of this crime could not go unpunished. I knew that I wanted to hurt whoever did this.
That is 697 words and the limit is 800
i THINK IT'S COOL.
That's always een my forte, seeing situations in other people's eyes. So I can kill them if I ever need to escape a lunatic kidnapper.
Lol.
Damn, I need to go and eat now. Be back in 10!!
*hugs Eve and vanishes*
*looks at person one* brave man.
*looks at person two* it was just a poor guy....
That was really good, Mist. A++++++++--
Hey, I'm just being objective here. You can't blame me for the two minuses you earned.
:P
Aw. Bye Mist! *hugs*
*looks at gab* mimish
*glares at Eev*
What?
Glim glom glumpy.
I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
God. I'm listening to inside the fire full blast. I can't hear anything!
Mist!!! *hugs*
*hugs back*
Yeah, I seem to have a habit of doing that too.
Inside the Fire is my favorite song
And now it's mine! Neck and neck with Play the Guitar. Thank you for telling me about it!
Hahaha. No problem.
I can't even remember how I did it, but I suppose it's a good thing if it backs you happy. :)
Oh, GREAT. Now people on YouTube are saying Kony2012 is a scam. How typical. It was bound to happen.
I was watching the trailer for Hunger Games, right, and there was a comment saying KONY2012!!! It's really famous now. It's famous enough now, but after April 20, there won't be a person who doesn't know who it is.
*hits 'replay'* Hehe.
Yeah, seriously...
It's weird.
I think it was something along the lines of "Eve, listen to Iside the Fire"
Sever, now and forever...
:O
Whoa, I got first by accident. Lucky me. :)
Damn.
ARGH!
How did that happen? We were the only ones here and then Dylan comes out of no where!!!
Eve, have chu watched all of the vid?
Like when Bellatrix apparates.
By the way, I love Bellatrix. <3
Yes, I have. Evil man. *spits on his name*
Well, at least YOU didn't get first, Mist. ;)
But she bit Hermione.
In the movie.
Aw...
I'm still beating you by 3 pages though!!
I dedicate this page to the association of Kony2012, who have raised a lot of money for the sake of the African children and the arrest of Joseph Kony. This is the year he will be taken down, the year we will be grateful the world became a more peaceful place. Kony will be taken down, and he knows it. I'm sure Kony is scared his own army will attempt to kill him. I bet he's resenting giving them weapons, making them killing their parents and siblings. And for Jacob who watched his brother die at the hands of the rebels, and for the creator of Invisible Children, who made an incredible video and association.
No, Eve, she didn't bite Hermione. She carved 'Mudblood' in her arm with her knife, it just looked like she was biting it.
Grr. I'll catch up! I chopped off a rabbit's foot and stepped on a leprechaun!
But I also walked under a ladder. And smashed a mirror.
Oops.
And no one can carve that with such precision with their teeth, Val.
I mean Eve.
And in the BOOK she tortured her with the Cruciatus Curse. Like is was meant to be.
I don't care if it's spelled incorrectly.
Oh. Damn. I thought I was actually being a smartypants there.
I could. I am pro at tooth-motion.
And Dolohov used the Dolohov curse, and that was missed in the book.
No one knows the incantation, because Silencio was used on him before he could say it. It still turned the person inside out, though...
I got a Kindle for my birthday. :)
*looks at Mist for a while* I knew that.
Who needs a Kindle when you can have an iPod/Phone/Pad?
Harry has used two of the Unforgivable curses, but wasn't arrested either of the times. This was because both areas were corrupted, therefore use of the Unforgivable Curses was legal.
