And The Award Goes To...

The Irish Book Awards were held last night in Dublin and the last Artemis Fowl book beat out KOTW to emerge triumphant, giving Eoin Colfer a much deserved win. He went on the make the funniest speech of the evening while wearing the most dashing cravat I've ever seen on a real life person. Big congratulations to Eoin.

A few other people also won for, like, other categories- including Katie Taylor in the Best Sports Book. I really really really wanted to meet her and she was RIGHT THERE in front of me but then I was called away for a photo, and then there were a few people who wanted napkins signed, and when I looked around again she was gone. Dammit. I always thought she looked so petite on screen, but in person she is physically IMPRESSIVE. Here she is with Cecelia Ahern- one of my top two favourite writer-type-people that I know.


It was a fun night- it always is- but very well behaved and restrained when compared to last year. Ah, last year... what fond, fond memories I have...

My editor Nick came over for it, so we were chatting about the Tanith novella and he reckons it needs only the barest of edits. What does that mean for you guys? It basically means it'll stay at around the 54,000 word mark and I won't have to cut anything out. Apart from, apparently, all those mentions of Tanith in a bikini. I sincerely don't see the problem. It's not like I have her running around nekkid or anything.

Ooh, maybe I should...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Derek, in the post, where you say "writer-type-people", wouldn't that qualify as author?

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

*groans*

i hate long days....

Anonymous said...

Val, Katie Taylor isn't really an AUTHOR so much though.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

There is no such thing as a long day. Each day is exactly 24 hours long.

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

I think in Derekland that means author

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

But she wrote a book, didn't she?

Zaf, I love long days, so long as they're weekends.

Val, but she's mostly a boxer.



I don't know though. He's Derek.

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

Do not ask. We threatened a boy at practice

Kilandra Xyle said...

hi val v. (that what i should call you right? or do you prefer ivy?)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*cracks up with laughter*

Oh my God, Zaf, that's hilarious! XD

Kilandra Xyle said...

Ummmm.... that's lovely, Zaffy....

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Val, Val V, Valkyrie, or Ivy; any is fine. It's usually just Val, though.

Kilandra Xyle said...

Ok 'cause Kessie calls you several of those so i get confused.

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

I bet any guy reading that shall cringe in pain. Your welcome male Minions and Derek!!

I had to decorate my notebook thing in Social Studies today, and I drew the Derek-lizard in a cape...

My English binder has 'Skulduggery Pleasant' written ALL OVER the front.

Val, Kestrel has some psychopathic tendencies as well, but she's not for hire.

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

DEREK!!!

Can Scapegrace use magic after the brain transplant and all? You know I'd just ask you if I could meet you....but I think you know my circumstances as you never been to America


Good night guys. Ttyl. Well Friday actually

Anonymous said...

Zaf, no. Just...no.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Well, Ivy only takes the job if she feels like it. And then she usually kills whoever she was working for.

Anonymous said...

Goodbye, Grand Mage. *inclines head graciously*

Anonymous said...

Val, sounds slightly like Sanguine when he said he tried being a detective.

Kestrels problems are mainly due to anger issues and A.D.H.D.

Melica Frost said...

OMG HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kilandra Xyle said...

Melica Frost said...

Im so glad you came on because I was about to go insane again :D

Kilandra Xyle said...

Again? Mel, hate to break it to you but all of us here are highly insane and belong in one of those nice, safe cushion room that we are likely of escaping.

Melica Frost said...

that does sound kinda nice...but I'd rather not be confined at the moment because well I'm really not sure...but you get the point.

Kilandra Xyle said...

owwwww! that hurt you should n't do things like that.

Melica Frost said...

what did I ... do , nevermind...

Kilandra Xyle said...

You threw a pencil at me! See how sharp the point is? Well it was thrown at me. You could have KILLED me!!!!!

Melica Frost said...

Would you rather I threw a pointy pencil at you or a fireball or maybe a shard of ice? ...

Melica Frost said...

I can do all three but I felt like being a four year old and throwing the nearest object to me at you

Kilandra Xyle said...

or...how 'bout a pillow next time. I hear they're... they're.... ummm... deadly and... umm... soft... and can like..... smother you to death or something....and...ummm yeah

Melica Frost said...

ok next time I will throw the softest and fluffiest pillow I can find at you to make up for throwing a pencil at you this time, is that ok?

I decided to "sing" Hello to you because normal hellos are boring;D

hey Ieni :)

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Clover! *hugs*
They are? I don't really bother will hello. It's a waste of a word. Goodbye's the important one.

Mel! *hugs*
How are you both?

Agh, grade 6 violin tomorrow DX

Luciana said...

Hello! *hugs Ieni*

I'M JUST IN A QUIRKY MOOD.

I wanted to know if I could sing Hello in Korean. Turns out I kind of can. XD

Melica Frost said...

Im very well today how are you?

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Ah, okay. That's awesome Clover :)Yay! Quirky mood!
The only words I know in Korean are the one in Gangnam Style :/

I'm merp :) We finished at 1:45pm today, had mufti and have tomorrow off! *Yay*

Sorry, I took so long - I was writing a long status on Facebook, which I will copy and paste onto here...

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

*the ones

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

What I realized this morning:
In under a month, the world is supposed to end and the human race is basically fucking up the world a lot right now and there is a lot of rain right now and flooding, which just happened to start a month before Armageddon and there's still a load of rain to come.
Supposedly, in the Bible, God decided to end the world be flooding it, slaughtering lots of people along the way (the part the skip out in lower schools), because apparently the human race then was fucked up.
Anybody see the resemblance?
Just to be depressing ;P

Agh, it's gone all weirded :O

Melica Frost said...

agh were all doomed, oh well Im eating a chinese :)

Star Inkbright said...

We were f*cked up more then. Plus we lived longer. Now we have shorter lives, so if a human is born who's like Drake, they die before they have time to really get their claws into the world.

I feel sorry for Drake. And Drake's parents. Especially his dad because his mother hasn't been mentioned.

Star Inkbright said...

On my third reread of Gone, I felt sorry for Drake in the Thanksgiving battle because he was occupied with fighting Orc so never got to deliever a tidal wave of pain and horror to the Perdido Beach kids, and he was looking forward to it and all.

Then I realised that that meant I was wanting tons of kids to be hurt/killed/both and I was like, whoops.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!!!!! *violently tacklehuggles* How's you?

Omg, you was in my dream last night :O
Right at the end though.
Basically, summary of my dream:
I died, I came back, I climbed to a holiday home with my dad, where my sister had been staying by herself, there wasn't a beach, so we went to the next town to find one.
But then we found out that the Golden God and Matt Smith were doing some thing together, so we went to see them.
I got a hug from Matt Smith and I got the Golden God to write something in my school orginsiniser thingy, because it was the only thing I had on me.
And then I went to Blogland and said this and then Star said she was there too and I was about to reply to that, but then I woke up.
And I was very upset it wasn't real :(
And checked in my organiser at school and there was nothing in it :(

Star Inkbright said...

*scowls as I splash Tipp-Ex all over myself*

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Star, Star, look what I'm listening to:
http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=bIc-cGsFDOU
Are you proud of me?

Star Inkbright said...

:(

Once in the holidays I was on the blog talking to Lynxia and I said I'd brb but then the Wi-Fi got turned off coz we were painting the new shelves by the network thingy and so we had to remove the network thingy from the area . . . And my phone was out of credit so no Wi-Fi equalled no Internet.

I got soooooo bored. I started videoing gel pens and books, I was that bored. Plus I was feeling pretty guilty for abandoning Lynxia.

So that night I dreamt I woke up and picked up my phone sleepily and the Wi-Fi icon was there and I was SO HAPPY and I went on the blog immediately. Then I woke up. :(
I kinda just opened my eyes a bit then closed them and after a bit went back to sleep again. And I dreamt that I woke up and could go on the blog, and I discovered that yesterday Lynxia had disappeared right after me so she wasn't waiting for me for ages and feeling really let down, and I was SORELIEVEDOMGG . . .

Then I really woke up, scrabbled for my phone hopefully, but noooo, no Wi-Fi. :'(

You know when once you're deprieved of somethimg you really really want it? Yes, it was that. :(

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Everything seems to be really depressing on her right now and everyone's disappeared :(

I think,
NINJA AEROPLANES.

Star Inkbright said...

*aeroplanetacklehugs Ieni* YAY!!!

Star Inkbright said...

It's less depressing when I don't have the words of the lyrics appearing in the background. :)

*points at dry eyes* NOT CRYING YET, SEE?

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Yay!
Wait, no yay, I'm being violently tacklehugged! ;O
I wrote 'aeroplanetacklehugs' on my hand today in whatever lesson.
I keep getting told off for writing on my hand in school, now, which I think is amazingly stupid.

Star Inkbright said...

*starts crying slightly* NO.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

No! Don't cry :(

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* :)

I write on my hand. *looks at written-on hand*

Melica Frost said...

sorry I disapeared I was getting a lecture about my future and my work ethic... which apparently is poor but all I heard was blaa blaa blaa

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

So, Mel, if all you heard was blaa blaa blaa, how did you know it was a lecture on your work ethic and your future...?
Maybe it was ninja skills :O

Hands are there to be written on *nods*

Star Inkbright said...

HANDS ARE THERE TO BE WRITTEN ON, AND WRISTS ARE THERE SO THEY CAN ANNOY ME BY RANDOMLY ACHING!

Melica Frost said...

I have the word awesome written all over my hand :)

Star Inkbright said...

On my hands, I have "Calculator," "Du musst," "Star Inkbright," "Star Inkbright," "Star Inkbright," and the faded remnants of "Lyn's 51 Chantry Way East."

Star Inkbright said...

Plus I have felt tip marks, fountain pen marks, places where I have scribbled with my other pen to get it to work, places where I have scribbled with my pen simply because I was bored, and, as of a few minutes ago, Tipp-Ex.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

And my head is there to randomly give me headaches.

Most of the writing on my hands were rubbed off when I washed them.

I think I had Blogland names and 'Embrace you inner lunatic' on my hand today. Wait, no, that was Tuesday, no it wasn't, it was Wednesday. I think. I'm not sure, but it was today as well, because I've got a very faded 'Star' on there, because everyone else's names were on the palm on my hand, which normally gets rubbed off, ut that one was ony the thumb bit. Inkbright got rubbed off, because it was on the palm bit.
I'm sounds a bit like a freaky person today, Star. First, you were in the end of my dream, then I'm listening to one of your favourite songs and your first name is the one on my hand, which hasn't rubbed off.

Star Inkbright said...

Oh and I coloured part of the back of my hand in with yellow highlighter. *nods*

Melica Frost said...

Ieni thats creepy... and Im starting to think its not a coinsidense...

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

I'm sorry :(
Star and Clover are always the first two people I write on my hand. Does that make it creepier?

Star Inkbright said...

*screams* CREEPY PERSON! *open anti-creepy-person kit and takes out partial invisihility spray* *sprays self*

This invisibility spray is PARTIAL invisibility spray because it only makes me invisible SOMETIMES. To be more specific, it only works in the dark. *smiles innocently* It actually works as well. I sprayed myself with it, found a pitch black room, and told people to come in and point at where I was. They couldn't see me. AND IT WAS ONLY £5000!!! WHAT A BARGIN!!!

*glares indignantly* AND AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER DARED TO TELL ME I WAS BEING TRICKED AND SOLD POWERLESS WATER!!!!!

Star Inkbright said...

MY ANTI-CREEPY-PERSON KIT ALSO GIVES ME A NECKLACE WHICH ALLOWS ME TO PARTIALLY LEVITATE!!! *puts necklace on* *stands on one leg* HALF-LEVITATING!!! SEE!!! *falls over*

dany said...

um derek
why did u do that to tanih? i liked her
can u end the last book with and then stephanie woke up?
so it was all a dream?

Melica Frost said...

star where did you get that? because I want some! :) he he he

Star Inkbright said...

AND IT GIVES ME SUNGLASS WHICH ALLOW ME TO SEE IN THE DARK! *puts on sunglasses* *stands in dark room* *flicks 'on' swich and small lights at edge of sunglasses come on, marking them torch-sunglasses* PARTIAL INVISIBILITY, PARTIAL LEVITATATION AND THE POWER TO SEE IN THE DARK. *sobs with joy* I'M PRACTICALLY A SUPERHERO.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

I glared at the first paragraph, laughed at the second and was confused by the third.
How the hell would a partially levitating neckclace help against creepy people?
I'm sad now, because you're all gonna think I'm a creepy person, but the only time I'm creepy is when I do my perv face and growl and scare my friends in doing so :(
I'M NOT A CREEPY PERSON. I'M NOT A CREEPY PERSON. I'M NOT A CREEPY PERSON. I'M A NINJA AEROPLANE.
You want it to guard against me, Mel?
If you're the superhero, am I the evil villian?

Melica Frost said...

no , not you Ieni I actually find your creepyness to be comforting and I just want it because it sounds awesome :)

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

My creepiness is comforting? o_O

Star Inkbright said...

Ummm . . . THAT GUY. *points to man waving NO MORE FOAM SIGN* He's insistng that everybody use recycled paper cups to save our planet now!

*coughs* Any person who watches CITV miiiiiiiight just be able to tell that I've spend the last week stuck downstairs in the living room where one or two of my younger siblings have been watching TV . . .

The lastest episode of Big Time Rush was hilarious. :)

Oh, and the ice cream thing on Victorious was just . . . insane . . . :)

NO. NO. I REFUSE TO START BEING A CITV WATCHER.

Melica Frost said...

yeah I would be unsettled if you werent the way you are :)

Star Inkbright said...

LEVITATION WOULD ALLOW ME TO LEVITATE ABOVE THEIR HEADS WHILE THE CREEPY PEOPLE RAN ABOUT LIKE THE COW ON BIG TIME RUSH LOOKING FOR ME!!!

Partial levitation would . . . partially work . . .

:( Gtg now, fencing. BB IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS!

Melica Frost said...

ok? have fun fencing :)

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

g2g-parents back
byebye

Melica Frost said...

bye bye :)

Melica Frost said...

am I alone again?

Melica Frost said...

yeah. Im alone.

Star Inkbright said...

BACK!

I learnt about disengage reposts today. *nods* By next week I'll've forgotten about them. That's the way it usually works. :P

Star Inkbright said...

But I recapped disengage attacks plus bindings and envelopments, so that means I have less chance of forgetting them now. :)

Melica Frost said...

thats slightly confusing but ok :)

Star Inkbright said...

Nobody cares, but a disengage attack is when

a) You and your opponent have your blades engaged
b) You disengage and move under their blade
c) You lunge forward and hit them.

Disengage reposts are where . . .

a) You and your opponent have your blades engaged
b) They disengage and move under you blade
c) They attempt to lunge forward and hit you
d) You parry their attack
e) They expect you to repost and so start sliding their sword backwards to parry your repost
f) You wait until they start sliding backwards, then you move your blade around theirs and hit them.

I DID SAY FENCING WAS CONFUZZLING . . . XD

Star Inkbright said...

HI MELICA!

Fencing is very confuzzling. D:

Eventually some of it starts sinking in though. :)

Star Inkbright said...

An attack is where you, uh, attack.
A parry is where you block the attack.
A repost is an attack directly after you've parried.

I should stop explaining now. XD

BUBBLES!

Melica Frost said...

I did fencing one, it ended horribly , I got the nickname lefty and a girl nearly lost her leg...it wasnt my fault but y'know

Star Inkbright said...

"Last night we had a kid who killed and ate a cat. The whole time he's telling me about it he's weeping. He's sobbing. He used to have a cat himself. He likes cats. But he was so hungry, he grabbed it and . . ."

Melica Frost said...

*munch* I bet thats what happened

Star Inkbright said...

It's harder go fence left-handers. YOU HAVE AN ADVANTAGE! :(

How could she almost lose her leg!?

*rabdomly quotes again* "You've lost what little mind you had left."

Eve the ROCK said...

Val ate a cat too, once. :D

Hey, tomorrow's Decrmber! That means the Christmas decorations go up tomorrow! Who will help me decorate Blogland tomorrow?

"Not I," said the pig.

"Not I," said the dog.

"Not-"

OKAY, I get the point.

Melica Frost said...

well basically this weird girl started just swinging the swordy thing around and the girl literally pranced over and nearly lost a leg, that showed her not to dance during fencing...

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs*

O_o Caine's just gone insane. Hey, that rhymes. Poor Caine. :(

Melica Frost said...

aww poor Caine :(

Star Inkbright said...

The swords aren't sharp. :/

Stupid girl. :P

HI EVE! *laughs*

"Even Drake's whip, when we were fighting, I barely felt it." Oh, POOR Drake. He didn't cause ANY pain in the Thanksgiving battle? :( What a missed opportunity.

*looks at next paragraph* 'Suddenly Orc started weeping.' Ah. Poor him as well. :P
Actually, Orc is the character I pity most overall. :( I'm glad for him that the FAYZ happened; otherwise he would have just been a mean bully for eternity . . .

Melica Frost said...

Hey eve :D

Star Inkbright said...

YAY! TOMORROW'S FRIDAY!

Star Inkbright said...

Actually, for you, Eve, today is Friday. :)

Melica Frost said...

ha guess what I just found out? I have know this girl for 3 years and we are really close and friendly and today I found out shes a Jehovas witness. Im kewl with that but why would you hide that? I was like WHAT?!? and she said to me yeah I would rather you didnt get me a christmas present and I said why and she just casually said Ooh its because Im a jehovas witness. so yeah that happened.

Star Inkbright said...

I might sound either stupid or ver stupid, but what's a Jehovas's Witness?

Star Inkbright said...

*Jehova's

Star Inkbright said...

?

I should have heard of them. *curses self*

*looks at above sentence* *sing The Curse*

Marked for, demolition, I'm
Just a time bomb, ticking inside
No hope for the hopeless, I
Can see the pieces all laid out in front of me.
No point, even asking why
Couldn't help, even if you tried.
Step down and you might just be the
Next contestant to feel the brutality

Talking to other people about their religion can make people feel awkward. Sometimes they might want to just not mention it.

DO YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE FOR THE ABOVE, INK?

Yuppers. ME. In RS I usually just don't say anything about being a Christian. It's . . . *shrugs*

Star Inkbright said...

Devestation, obliteration
All to the point of exacerbation
There's no explaining my situation now
Why does this shit keep happing to me?

I've held on too long just to let it go now
Will my inner strength get me through it somehow?
Defying the curse that has take hold,
Never surrender, I'll never be overcome . . .

Star Inkbright said...

Too dark for forgiveness, I
Can't seem to do anything, right
When I try to rebuild I see
My humble shelter just fall to the ground again.
No point to let anyone try
. . .

*memory fails*

Melica Frost said...

ha yeah I have a lot of arguments with my religious education teacher...Im all for learning about religion and give merit to religious people for being so well to use a better word *religious* about it but when she starts talking to be about my morals and not forgiving people every single time Im lied to or worst I just lose it. I probably shouldnt but you can't just stand infront of someone and say your wrong for not forgiving them before you have even heard the whole story... she really fries my brain at times but


rant over.


phewww I had to get that out :D

Luciana said...

Does anyone actually dedicate, anymore?:(

jasmine who? said...

Yep but it's elder frost turn as frost got top *emits general air of annoyance that I never get top*

You could just dedicate anyway which is what I think I'll do.

My dedication is to confusion as my teachers got very confused today about where everyone was meant to be.

Also I dedicate my post to long weekends. I have Friday and Monday off school for some reason (don't ask me!)

In Games yesterday we were playing benchball in the sports hall as the field was too wet. I'm not great at sport. I'm rubbish at catching and being the kind of person who will just do what other people want me to (like swap from team to team because everybody ekse wants to swap ne for theur friend), I will generally, uh, just do what people want me to do. If someone says, "Holly, stand there," or, "Holly, you're off this round," I obey. So there was this girl (gonna call her A), and she's pretty bossy, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. We were playing in this game and we were winning. All our players were on the bench except me, A, and another girl (gonna call her B). A kept getting the ball at the far end of the court, so I would run towards her so she could throw it to me, and then she would start yelling at me and then throw it to B. After a few times she came closer to me and was like, "Holly, just STAY THERE, okay? STAY THERE!" I got her plan was to pass the ball from her to B to me to the bench. So I just stayed there, and then A was shouting, "Holly, you need to be there!" and then we lost the ball to the other team and A was shouting, "Holly, go THERE!" So I moved to the second place, and then the ball moved about the court a bit and then it was whizzing towards me and I reached for it and I would have got it if a girl from the opposition hadn't knocked it out my hands, but then A was going, "OH MY GOD, HOLLY!" and swearing at me. I, being me, just said nothing and carried on standing there. Then a few moments later A had the ball and was really close to me and she chucked it at me and it went to the side slightly and I'm so bad at catching, I missed it, and she just went, "What the FUCK?" and shouted at me, then it was game over and A was just complaining about me and all the other girls were, "It's okay, A, we won," and, "Are you okay?" to me and, "I can't believe she was swearing at her. A started crying and was just saying about me, "She just STANDS there, and DOES nothing," and I just, y'know, said nothing and concentrated on looking blank, but I was thinking, Do you know WHY I was just standing there, A? Because YOU told me to. You said, JUST STAND THERE! And then, DON'T JUST STAND THERE! I was doing exactly what you told me to do, but oh no, suddenly I was doing it wrong and you want me to do something else. Why do I bother being complacent? I bet if I'd just followed me and not you we've done better.

Then I finished ranting and forgave her, coz I'm like that, but in French today another girl was like, "Do you want to work with us Holly?" And A went, "NO," to her because she was still annoyed at me, and then I unforgave her and felt all resentful again . . . :/

I thought I had forgiven her. Really I did. I just stopped being bothered, but then in French I guess I was bothered again . . . :/

MINDS ARE ODD.

Melica Frost said...

sorry for being distant, I know what you mean Star on Monday we got a subsitute teacher for P.E and she basically let us do whatever we wanted and she didnt give anyone into trouble for anything so we played benchball and this bitchy girl I shall call her A really hates me and Ive never known why but anyway it was just me another girl and her left , the other girl was on my team and I was being targeted and for ages she didnt get me but when she did she shouted really loudly " YEAH WAE BITCH GET THAT UP YOU " so of course I reacted badly and shoved her called her a massive bitch and stood on the bench then the other girl in my team got me back in and the first thing I did was get A out of the game and as she walked to the bench behind me I stopped her and shouted in her face " YEAH WAE BITCH GET THAT UP YOU" it felt good... and I didnt get in trouble now A hates me even more :D

Melica Frost said...

and now I'm going to bed :D

Star Inkbright said...

*is bored of attempting to sleep*

*laughs* The difference between you and me - you retaliate and I just say nothing and try to look unaffected. :P

Being you is better. :) To quote you, your feelings were, "it felt good..."

I just rant angrily inside my head and then get over it. But I know I can be me. I know the consequences of being me. Being me is safe. Plus it requires less bravery. I'M FINE BEING ME. BUT BEING YOU IS BETTER. :)

*attempts to go to sleep again*
