BUT YOU CAN HAVE A CUPCAKE! *holds out a box of cookie monster cupcakes to Sparky*

Sparky Braginski said...

Mel, I would, but...

Okay. Truth time.

I'm reading about four things write now, and I'm also following several stories by people on here.

I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, which is entirely my fault.

And...

Even though I'm sure once I start reading them, I won't stop, the length of your chapters appear very daunting.

Feel free to be angry at me.

Star Inkbright said...

*polishes Banana Statue* I am Star Inkbright, the Enemy of the Llamas and the Loyal Inky Octopus Servant of the Banana Lord. I upgraded myself from Star Inkbright, the Inky Octopus Girl and the Enemy of the Llamas. I'm thinking of upgrading Eve to Banana Queen, instead of Banana Lord; in which case, I'll have to change my title slightly as well.

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm not hungry.

Star Inkbright said...

DAUNTLESS!!!! *is suffering from the affer-effects of Divergent*

Has anybody ever read Divergent? S'a good book. I need to read the second one . . .

Luciana said...

Okay, then. *throws away cupcakes*
Hmm...
SPEECH TIME!

Sparky Braginski said...

Speech you?

Drew O'Connor said...

Can I be honest as well Sparks?

I was very frightened of the length of my chapters too.

Look no pressure, the story isn't going anywhere and if you were ever bored one day after doing all your reading and catching up with your sleep.

It's always gonna be there for you.

Sparky Braginski said...

Oh goodie...

Thanks Mel.

Star Inkbright said...

*hands out bananas to everyone but Sparky with a reminder that a prayer to Eve must be made before consumption*

I know you don't like bananas, Sparky, plus you're not hungrey - but you can pray anyway, if you want :)

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm good, thanks...

Luciana said...

I'll be right backkkkkkk. I have to go upstairs, out of everyone's way. I can also then write a nice speech. ^_^ NOT TO MENTION WRITE MY LATEST STORY. I finally have a name for my latest protagonist!;D
ANDDDDDDDDD I have the greatest idea for a dedication EVER! x3

Sparky Braginski said...

Let Lu get first then!

Star Inkbright said...

DAST IST GUT!!!

Star Inkbright said...

Will do! I hate deding

Star Inkbright said...

*dedding

Sparky Braginski said...

I hate being bad at it...

Luciana said...

*grins*
I love dedicating! I've got so much to be thankful for. We ALL have so much to be thankful for! We just don't realise it...

AND I THINK I MAY HAVE JUST HAD THE BIGGEST EGO BOOST I HAVE EVER HAD EVER.

Sparky Braginski said...

*wonders*

Was that me...?

Star Inkbright said...

DAST IST SEHR GUT.

Luciana said...

Sparky, you're amazing at dedications!
AND YES. Yes it was you!

Sparky Braginski said...

Yay! It was me!

Luciana said...

Yay! *has a tea party*
AUNTIES WOODEN LEG.
AUNTIES WOODEN LEG
WE'LL PAINT IT RED AND CALL IT FRED, AUNTIES WOODEN LEG.

*drinks tea*

I want a clean cup. *moves around the table and sits down again in front of a clean cup*

*puts on Loki helmet after stealing it from whoever had it last*

Sparky Braginski said...

*sits quietly and hums*

Star Inkbright said...

*gasps* YOU STOLE LYNXIA'S LOKI HELMET! *snatchs it off L and buries it ready to give to Lynxia when I next see her*

Luciana said...

......*takes out Link's hat and places it on her head*
MY HAT.
*nods and drinks more tea*

Star Inkbright said...

YOUR HAT.

Well, Links' hat. *returns from my place where I bury things, things usually being bananas*

Sparky Braginski said...

...

Link's hat?

Is Navi in there?

Star Inkbright said...

*Link's

Luciana said...

*looks around*
Yes, Navi is here.
Glad it's not Tatl or Tael. I'd cry. They're cool, just a tad annoying. *grins*

Sparky Braginski said...

*pulls out fairy slingshot and aims for Navi*

Luciana said...

NOT NAVI! *tackles Sparky*

Sparky Braginski said...

Oof!

I wasn't gonna shoot, I swear!

Luciana said...

Navi is too awesome. But if you see the skullkid you can shoot him! He's so annoying.

Sparky Braginski said...

What about a Gerudo?

Which Zelda games have you played?

Luciana said...

PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM.

On Ocarina Of Time you can shoot Gerudos with arrows and they die! It's amazing! x3

I think Majora's Mask may be my favourite, though. I adore being a Zora! And a Goron. Deku Scrubs are just pains.

I enjoy Minish Cap, too! As well as the new ones for the DS- but you can never beat the GameCube ones!

OOooooooohhhhh! WINDWAKER! That is a great game!

As is Oracle Of Seasons!

Drew O'Connor said...

I just had a day dream about the Nazis?!

What is going on with my head today?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sparky Braginski said...

Well I've only played one.

OCARINA OF TIME!

*pulls out Ocarina and call Epona*

*jumps on her back and rides around*

AAAAAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!

Luciana said...

OCARINA OF TIME IS BEAUTIFUL!

Have you not played Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess? THE GRAPHICS FOR THEM ARE AMAZING.

*is a Zelda nerd*

Sparky Braginski said...

I don't have the right game station for those.

Alas, I only have an N64.

Enough to play Ocarina of Time on.

GERUDO VALLEY.

No jumping.

*laughs*

AS IF.

Luciana said...

I have a:
GameCube
Wii
DS
3DS
Gameboy
Gameboy Colour

AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSEEEEEEEEEEE.

Sparky Braginski said...

Are you a gamer?

Luciana said...

Just a bit. *grins*

Luciana said...

HEY, KAL! *hugs*

Star Inkbright said...

. . . :( I have to go now . . . See you soon, people!

Luciana said...

BYE, STARRICKLE! *hugs*

Sparky Braginski said...

Quick, get first!

Sparky Braginski said...

Bye Inky!

Luciana said...

MINE?

Luciana said...

MINE?

Luciana said...

MINE?

Luciana said...

MIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEE.

Luciana said...

YES! *fistpump*
You guys are amazing.

Sparky Braginski said...

YAAAAAAAY!

Luciana said...

The pleasure of getting first will never fade.

Sparky Braginski said...

Never ever.

Dedication time!

Drew O'Connor said...

Another poxy daydream about the Nazis!!!

WHAT IS GOING ON LADS?!

Sparky Braginski said...

No idea Mel.

Noelle said...

HEYYYYYYY!!!

Luciana said...

I would like to dedicate to the heart of Blogland. The heart of Blogland - THOB - is the reason Blogland lives. It's how Blogland functions correctly. Without THOB I don't know where we'd be. Probably in the whole depressed phase, or anger phase, again...Without THOB we'd be nowhere. Blogland wouldn't be pleasant. Everyone would be all....Zombie-like and horrible and dead and...It wouldn't be the best of places, to say the least. THOB is someone here, in Blogland. Or at least, that’s what THOB is, to me.
To me, THOB is the glue that holds us together; the sun that shines through the clouds, when everything looks dim. THOB is crucial in Blogland and, personally, I think this person has changed Blogland the most. This person hasn’t just changed Blogland as a place, but Blogland as a society. This person has changed me so much. I used to be so scared about what to say, when I came to Blogland. I was so…On edge about what people thought of me…THOB has changed me for the better. Now I am more confident, I don’t care what anyone thinks. They can say whatever the hell they like about me, because THOB has changed my opinion of myself, too! I shouldn’t care what haters think, they’re just haters. You shouldn’t care what haters think, either. THOB proved to me that everyone is wrong, sometimes. Whether it is about you or about something else, you’re going to be wrong... But if you doubt yourself, you’re wrong about yourself.
An incredibly wise woman once said to me:
What if you have an idol, or a hero, and you found out that they hated themselves, what must they think of you?
This really spoke to me. She made me realise that you shouldn’t hate yourself, because you might have flaws, but they’re a part of you and you should love them just the same. Everyone has imperfections, but it’s those imperfections that make us realise this.
Back to THOB, this same wise woman is THOB, to me. I know that so many of you will probably think differently, but it’s clear to me that the heart of Blogland is our very own Sparky Braginski. When she left, it triggered a downfall in Blogland. The depression phase and the anger phase occurred, Blogland was at the lowest I’d ever known it to be…It was the only time I had a slight disliking towards Blogland. But that was only because I was scared everyone was becoming depressed. I was scared I was going to lose everyone. However, as though she knew we needed her the most, Sparky returned. Sparky suits her so well, because she’s the spark of light that we always need in the dark.
I couldn’t ask for a better friend. Sparky is the most inspirational person I know. I love you all so much, too – never forget that! I mean, Lynx is my Loki/Legolas/Link friend;) and Star is my Blog Sister. Mist always knows how to cheer me up, Eve is generally insane! Val is crazy and amazing. Nix is, well, strange. Em, you’re like a second mother! You’re so maternal and wise. Kal, you don’t understand how glad I am that you returned to Blogland – you’re amazing and I am so glad I met you! I could go on about how much you all mean to me, but I think over five hundred words is more than enough for a dedication…then again….My dedications are usually around six hundred words.
So, to sum it all up, THOB is Sparky Braginski! She’s amazing and I cannot believe how much she has done for me. I’ll forever be in her debt, just as I am in Lynx’s debt. I’ll be seriously in debt, here…*laughs*

Anyone for a Pokémon cupcake? *offers cupcakes*

Noelle said...

i doooooo

Luciana said...

NOW TO GET BACK TO WRITING UP THIS STORY.
Sorry about how bad they are. DAMN HYPER MOOD.

If I get depressed again, I'll write deds then and just copy and paste them when I can't think of anything, or whatever.

Luciana said...

OH, HEY ADRA! *huggles*

Noelle said...

HEY LUCE!!!! *hugs*

Sparky Braginski said...

...THOB?

Aw, geez Lu, I'm choking up here.

That....

Means...

So...

*hugs her*

Much.

Luciana said...

THOB. *hugs back and nods at the same time* THOB = The Heart Of Blogland. x3

Noelle said...

It took me three reads of that dedication to figure out the acronym THOB.

*hooks thumbs on suspenders* because I'm just that good.

Noelle said...

ANd here you are, just saying it. D: Crap. :D

It was a lovely dedication though!!! Soulful!

Luciana said...

I did say 'The Heart Of Blogland - THOB'.....I think.

Sparky Braginski said...

I can barely type, you know.

My vision's gone all blurry...

Luciana said...

ALSO:
THANKS! *hugs Adra* You're so sweeeeeetttttt! X3

Luciana said...

I'M SO SORRY, SPARKY!

Noelle said...

sorry, Sparks!!! Here! *hands 3D glasses from the cinema, only with the lenses popped out*

This will help you in no way whatsoever, but I can guarantee you will look smart.

Sparky Braginski said...

Happy.

I'm happy.

Luciana said...

YAY FOR HAPPINESS.

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH DEDICATIONS IDEA! x3

Noelle said...

I'm planning a surprise party for my mom. Because you're never too old for parties :D

Drew O'Connor said...

You are such a sweetheart Lu
*blows a kiss*
Thank you

Luciana said...

You're welcome, Em! *huggles everyone*

Drew O'Connor said...

I don't want to do this chapter anymore. It's annoying me.

Just thought I would let you know.

Noelle said...

"And then the world blew up, killing everything on Earth. The world rebuilt itself, and life began again, a while later than where I just wrote. And this, lads is where the next chapter begins."

I'd go with that one

Drew O'Connor said...

Ah here, I'm not near enough as good as that.

Plus if I touch a delete button I'm terrified that someone will tackle me again like Zaf did.

I just don't want to do it. I give up. It can go to hell.

I'm just gonna sit here with my feet up :D

Noelle said...

oh DAMN I forgot!!!!!

*raises glass* hear hear!

Luciana said...

*hugs back*
Thanks so much, Kal!
*raises glass of water*

Noelle said...

Oh where's the fun in water? *raises glass of apple juice* As my brother would say: Apple Juice, the manliest drink in the world.
And then I would laugh at him.

Drew O'Connor said...

I have posted Chapter 7.

I don't think there was any more I could do to it so I just banged it up.

Go forth and comment!!!

Please and thank you :D

And don't worry Kallie, we will protect Sparky like she was a dragon tear (they are really rare)

Noelle said...

I wonder.... why.

Drew O'Connor said...

Why what Adra?

Noelle said...

why a dragon's tear is rare :D Earth seems to have a shortage of them at the moment. Dragons, I mean

Drew O'Connor said...

Oh a dragon's tear is so rare because they only shed their last tear, their fire tear, when they die.

Noelle said...

And a dragon is to be born first, before shedding it's deathbed tear...

Drew O'Connor said...

Not really, an older dragon has to shed their fire tear first before a new egg can hatch.

Drew O'Connor said...

Is Kallie still around?

Noelle said...

Probably not.

Sparky Braginski said...

*looks mildly bewildered*

Even... Kal?

Luciana said...

I'm still here, by the way. I just became fascinated by the rain...

Noelle said...

Ossry dears, my grandma and grandda just arrived. I'll be leaving you!!!

*hugs for all*
Byeee

Luciana said...

Byeeeeeee, Adra! *huggles*

Sparky Braginski said...

Bye Dark!

Drew O'Connor said...

I am so tempted to take down Chapter 7, I really don't like it.

Though I know everyone else will like it lol

Drew O'Connor said...

Ah do you know what girls. I'm just moaning at this stage.

Don't mind my tired brain :D

Drew O'Connor said...

Night all xx

Sparky Braginski said...

Night Mel!

Luciana said...

Night, Mel!

Luciana said...

Bye, guys! You're all awesome and I love you all to pieces!
Don't forget to send an e-mail with your votes to ioweyouamug@gmail.com

BYEEEEE! *hugs*

Sparky Braginski said...

Bye Lu!

Eve the ROCK said...

I had a dream Dere lived in his blog and it was next to a zoo. I was at the zoo and then Derek posted that he would be going to the boats and I was there and he came and I collapsed while eating some sort of sandwich and Derek had super long hair. o.O

Sparky Braginski said...

...What?

Helena Ember Sky said...

Anyone on?

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello Em.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Hey Sparky... what's going on?

Sparky Braginski said...

Nothing much.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Okay, well I wbd as I'm continueing writing.

Sparky Braginski said...

Okee.

Helena Ember Sky said...

To everyone out there, my next chapter is almost done but I can't post it till I get a reply from one of the characters. Thank you for your patience.

Sparky Braginski said...

Lonely...

Sparky Braginski said...

No one?

Helena Ember Sky said...

Nix, Sparky the next chapter is up!

Helena Ember Sky said...

As Derek says, consume.

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello.

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Sparky

Distant, I'm organising things for the competition

Helena Ember Sky said...

What competition Nix?

Nixion Strange said...

My one
My blog

You should have entered, but oh, to late

Helena Ember Sky said...

I didn't know! I've been busy! PLEASE!

Sparky Braginski said...

Oooo, I'm excited.

I'm looking forward to reading it.

And participating.

Helena Ember Sky said...

I'll do what you say and keep with the blog then, maybe i'll be able to participate.

Nixion Strange said...

Maybe Helena... maybe...

Helena Ember Sky said...

I commented back, forgot to reply but I commented back, read it.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Breath in and out Hel, in and out. Okay, slightly calmer.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Bye! If the others come on Nix could you please tell them that the next chapter up?

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Helena

Sparky Braginski said...

What's going on here...?

Sparky Braginski said...

Bye Em!

Nixion Strange said...

Well, she's got my character doign things my character wouldn't do, so I pointed that out, then she told me to shut up, yold me what ym character would do, and told me that she will probably kill my character off

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

HELLO!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Val!

Sparky Braginski said...

*reads the brief comment conversation*

*my left hand goes to the bridge of my nose subconsciously*

You're both being childish.

Nix, that's what you get for allowing someone to use your character.

If you were still here Em, I'd tell you that, even if it is only a story, people have this thing about taking offence.

One of my favourite fan fictions was stopped because people were too picky about how the author depicted them.

Sparky Braginski said...

Hi Val...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi Sparky... I am so tired... *starts drifting off to sleep* *wakes up and sits up*

No, no... I have to get all this chlorine off me...


Bye bye now, I have to shower

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Val!

Sparky Braginski said...

Bye Val!

Sparky Braginski said...

Nix, please tell me when you update The Competition.

Nixion Strange said...

Any second now Sparky...

Sparky Braginski said...

YES.

Nixion Strange said...

NOW!
First challenge is up now!

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi! I just realized that I think my bad moods are the sensible ones! That's interesting!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Eve!

http://youbetterhopeyouwin.blogspot.com.au/

Sparky Braginski said...

Nix, you might want to check your e-mails.

I have a few questions.

Eve the ROCK said...

Yup!!!!!!! I'm getting there! Let me just finish off these votes

Nixion Strange said...

I always have my email open
*superhero pose*

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, I'm doing the votes now as well

Eve the ROCK said...

Lunch bye!

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Eve!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*scowls* I don't get it. I ask my mum a simple question and she practically growls "Bella..." as a warning telling me not to ask. And it was a completely innocent question! And then I asked another question to make things easier and she snapped at me, then my sister asked something and she started talking all sweetly! I don't get it! Does everyone suddenly hate me or something? I didn't even do anything wrong!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Val!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

On a brighter note, hello again everyone!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Me snuck on

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Zaf!

You sound like Cookie Monster

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sneaking on is wonderful, isn't it?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

It is xD

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*pets Derek-lizard*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*pets giant stuffed hedgehog (Fletcher)*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*pets smaller stuffed hedgehog (also Fletcher*

Eve the ROCK said...

Okay, back, hello, chihuahua!

Sparky Braginski said...

*does cartwheel*

Eve the ROCK said...

I thought Fletcher was a porcupine....

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Eve, you saId be that way
WHAT WAY?!

Eve the ROCK said...

THAT WAY!

Nixion Strange said...

WHICH WAY?!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Well, he's considered a porcupine and a hedgehog and a hedgupine (which is what eats Caelan when I draw funny little pictures and I get bored). Earlier I bought two stuffed hedgehogs.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi one comment then have to go to lunch.

Yesterday, there was a thunderstorm, and now it's sunny! Odd weather... Ahem, anyway.

I miss you guys so much! Reading your comments make me wish I was there. You get into crazy things sometimes! :D

Been so busy every day! *sigh* It's hard. The things I do and not being here... Don't even have time to go on my computer at all, which makes it harder to read blogs and things. So I'm WAY behind in that and I wish I wasn't so busy...

I guess that's all I wanted to say. Let you know how I'm doing and say I miss you! Cause I do so much! Gotta go now. Byyyyyyeeeeee!!!!!!! <3

Eve the ROCK said...

THAT WAY!

In my opinion, hedgehogs are cuter :P

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yeah. These little stuffed hedgehogs are pretty adorable...

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Lav!

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Kitchen!

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Eve, Helena put up her new chapter *mutters darkly*

http://skulwholock.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/emperors-realm-chapter-3-wolves-and.html#comment-form

Eve the ROCK said...

DADADUN DUN DADADUN DADADADADUN

I love having an electric guitarist in the house

Eve the ROCK said...

Your dark muttering is making me wonder if the chapter is cursed...

IF YOU ARE TESTING OUT HEXES, HELENA, I AM NOT A WILLING GUINEA PIG!

Nixion Strange said...

She basically had you acting like an animal, and you're okay with that?

Eve the ROCK said...

*smiles with sharp teeth* The plot thickens, Nix

Nixion Strange said...

What does that mean?

Eve the ROCK said...

I was thinking about it, and I managed to make it make perfect sense in my head, it's a little sub-story of mine and in not sure what to do with it. But I... Oh wait, it's all sorted out now. Except the "let her prove herself" is quite irrelevant to everything and not something you or your character would say

Nixion Strange said...

I am so confused

But can we agree that she got my character wrong?

Eve the ROCK said...

It's something about my character that I'm not putting in my profilian because I don't want anyone hinting at it or using it in their stories or anything. It's mine. Whether I'm going to write it down on paper or not is up to me, but I'm not...anyway

I...to be honest, I didn't read it properly. But hey, you know your character better than anyone, and you put it in your profile, so it's your decision if she's doing it wrong or not. If you believe she got it wrong and it was actually in your profile and she went against it, I believe you have a right to speak up about it

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*is looking at the Most Insane nominees*


*chokes*

...Valmanda?!

Nixion Strange said...

Okay

Eve the ROCK said...

HAHAHAHAHA

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

...Oh my God, that is the weirdest thing I have EVER read.

Nixion Strange said...

Uh... well... that's good, but... yeah... hm

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

So... We're all being awfully quiet... DID SOMEONE GET EATEN BY A WOLF?

Nixion Strange said...

I said something about something personal none of you will get

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Um... Okay then.

Nixion Strange said...

For those of you that care

http://nobodyisblogging.blogspot.com.au/

Eve the ROCK said...

*throws oven at Nix* WHAT IS WOW?

Nixion Strange said...

WOW

Exclamation: Expressing astonishment or admiration.

Nixion Strange said...

Is anyone going to read it?

http://nobodyisblogging.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/well-how-about-that.html#comment-form

Sparky Braginski said...

I read it.

Nixion Strange said...

Yokay

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I read it.

And Sparky, YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME. Were you here the whole time?!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

...Stalker.


Just kidding XD


When I was at Great Wolf Lodge earlier (it's a hotel with lots of things including a huge waterpark) Zoe and her friend Maddy came at the same time I did and while we were waiting in line for a ride I was pointing to everything, explaining some ridiculous way that Caelan could be stalking me from there... XD

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Not to mention the fact that we were being stalked by real people too O.o
