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...

*he's still wearing one of snow's hats and he looks miserable* hi.
British army. Four times in World War One, twice in two. My various pre-war aliases all died in the space of twenty years.
#ChaseForBook9
*She nods to Lea*
Four times?
Hm... I was in that war. Ghastly of a thing, it was
Oh, I know you! You came in here, looking for a knife one time! What can I get ya?
#ChaseForBook9
Aye. Horror on a whole new scale. Couldn't handle it.
#ChaseForBook9
*he walks up and sits at the bar* the strongest thing you've got.
did... did you know snow?
*hands over a bottle of dwarven whisky* Aye. Wait, what do you mean /did/?
#ChaseForBook9
It was the technology, really. The has was a bit over the top...
And I honestly don't blame you. No one blamed most of Napoleon's army while they walked to Russia.
*She glances at Lea curiously*
*he takes the bottle, wincing slightly* you... you dont know?... adra? i dont think i can tell one more person...
Er, yes... Snow was brutally killed.

(( hope it stops soon adra. migraines are horrible things))
(I went half blind for a day once because of it. Scared the hell out of me but my mother said the same used to happen to her)
(Sounds terrible. Hope it gets better.)

*She does her best to fight it+
*lea breathes out* i miss her so much...
*She murmurs* I know the feeling. Missing someone is so muxh more painful than- *yawn*- moving them..
So you were close then?
#ChaseForBook9
close? we were dating... *smiles slightly at some distant memory*
*In the background, Adra unintentionally nods off, purely from the result of deprivation and fatigue*
(I'll be ghosting for a bit... I might chime in. I just didn't want to suddenly leave you all in the middle of an RP..)
(( okay adra. try to get some rest though))
Well let's go get her then!
#ChaseForBook9
go get her...?
Go to the afterlife! That's what we do right? When one of us dies? We bring them back!
#ChaseForBook9
Hello? Please? Somebody?

Hey Fabsi.
#ChaseForBook9
(Heya Fabi!!)
... (( just gonna say, even if we do go, snow wont be there... though... actually, this might be good... i've been trying to wirk out how to do something and this might just help))
i... i hadn't thought of that...
(( FABIIIIIII!! HELLOOOO!))
Adra!
#ChaseForBook9
((Hi Trip, Adra, Snow...))
((This is so, so, weird.))
((Uh, me feeling odd reading something with a similar name as something else and long story))
((Yeah.))
#ChaseForBook9
*She jumps, falling from her chair*
Ow...
((?))
Adra, can you open us a portal to the afterlife?
#ChaseForBook9
((I have time Fabi.))
#ChaseForBook9
...you're kidding me..
*She kind of pushes herself to her feet, shaking her head and stumbling outdoors, knowing full well how much energy it will take* *She already knows of the dark bruises under her eyes* *She moves a wide space of snow aside and begins to work on drawing*
(( chameleon circuit <3))
Come along young one. *walks outside*
#ChassForBook9
*he follows trip*
*She draws a knife from her picked, intricate drawings cover the stone* *She recites a few words from the old language of Alchemy, closing her eyes, and rubbing the knife straight through her hand*
*She is blind to the pain as the energy is pouring from the ground, through her blood and onto the portal, where it fissures, then opens*
*She sways, tucking the knife away*
*Her knees buckle as she falls unconscious from thorough exhaustion*
((Basically, I have weird reactions to certain names. Hard to explain, don't even know what to explain, blah blah blah.))
((Wbd, writing...))
#ChaseForBook9
*rushes over to Adra, putting a hand on her forehead* Oh... I shouldn't have done that... Okay... *closes eyes, and a thread of purple energy ties around Lea's waist* I'll wait here, and tug you out if the portal begins to close. Now go and look for your girl. *smiles*
#ChaseForBook9
*lea smiles* thank you. *he jumps through*
(( and with that i think i should go... sorry, but it seems the best moment and my computer time is almost up...))
(Goodbye, Snow!)
(Bye Snow) *carries Adra indoors and upstairs. Yucks her into bed, and smooths the hair off her face*
#ChaseFodBook9
((Bye Snow!))
((I really. Really. Really. Need to finish this RP bit before my audience leaves! D:))

(Awhhhh)
((Not gonna make it, though. Eh...))

(I'm sorry, Fabi! I'm so close to falllling asleep... But I'll definitely read it later!!)
*Adra murmurs something, her eyebrows murmuring something in her sleep in a strange language* *Her hand grips at Trip's, her other clawing at the duvet*
((It's fine, I know you need your rest.))
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns, worried*
#ChaseForBook9
(I keep saying I should be but I keep disregarding my comments and continuing anyway. *facepalm*)

*She sighs, becoming twitchy, fretful, sweat beading at her forehead as she feels her emotions surge forward and-

((hugs both of you))
((Sleep well when/if you do.))
#ChaseForBook9
((*higs*))
Adra...
#ChaseForBook9
Oh dear... I apologize...
I think mum was trying to get rid of my Tuti bird! She's a rainbow lorikeet and I love her! She wasn't in her cage so I went out to check the two other rainbow lorikeets and there she was! So I hopped back inside and got an apple, cut some out with my nail and held it out to Tuti.
It took a while but I eventually got her on my arm (she has never done that before!!) and got her back to her cage which was across the yard.
Mum called because I told her too and I explained the whole bird ordeal and she said that she knew because she left its cage door open... Hmmm...
(Perhaps it is an accident. Not to mention that, if the bird got from it's cage, it would either a.) not survive from being unused to hunting, or b.) fuck up the ecosystem.
For what? Adra... *hugs*
Hmmmm indeed Death.
#ChaseForBook9
(Or not be used to the environment Adra. Can't find food, dies. Don't always blame humans.)
#ChaseForBook9
(Even though it's still their fault. Shut up.)
*She stiffens, then hugs him fiercely back*
I-I'm sorry, I should go... My sleeping patterns have been rather disruptive... I wouldn't want to ruin yours either
(I didn't say anything but MAN
biology really
No
I'm don't with you bio
Go away)
Adra, I don't HAVE sleeping patterns. I sleep when I do at the moment. That's all there is to it.
#ChaseForBook9
...surely that can't be healthy..
It's not.
#ChaseForBook9
My point exactly. *She begins to wiggle out from under he blanket* So you get some rest and I don't wake you up.
(Lorikeets are natural here. There's a bunch of them they hang around our backyard. They keep talking until the sun goes down. And lorikeets don't hunt. They're fruit eaters. Syrup and fruit is they're diet. AND DEY'RE BEAUTIFU!!!!))
(Ah...I see then.)
*She yawns again* I'll never make it anyway...
*She lays back down, curling up*
*For the rest of the night, her sleep doesn't return*
((waves))
#ChaseForBook9
6 hours..
It appears so..
Then again, is this not the last day before break? And I'm certain a lot of Aussies and Kiwis are getting ready for bed/already asleep
Still not a soul..
Hm. I'd have thought Mara would have been on... Considering it was only 15-30 minutes after the commented.
Meera?
No?
..
*holds box up* I have a present for you
SNOW :D
#ChaseForBook9
Hello! *hugs*
*Holds box up* Present. For you.
GUYYYYYYYYS.
WE GOT SNOW.
HERE.
AND IT'S ALL WHITE AND PRETTYYYYYYYYYYY
TWO INCHES OR SO. NOT A LOT FOR SOME OF YOU, BUT PROBABLY MORE THAN SEATTLE CAN DEAL WITH. :-P
AND I PROBABLY HAVE TO DO SCHOOL ANYWAY, BEING HOMESCHOOLED AND ALL, BUT STILLLLLLLL
SNOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW
((Hi Adra, Mara! [hugssss]))
#ChaseForBook9
Been around the world, don't speak the language,
But your booty don't need explainin',
All I really need to understand is,
When you,
*Niall Horan voice*Telk derby t meh.
*hugs Adra back*
A present? Um. Thanks, I guess..! *opens it*
*hugs Fabi* :)
Snow is nice. We don't have snow here, though //:
(Aha sorry, my internet stopped and I had to turn my phone on and off again. Gimme a sec)
[hugs Mara]
[Throws snow at her]
#ChaseForBook9
(That's awesome Fabi! I heard Val's out too :3)
*Inside are a pair of hairpins and a necklace, all aligned with each other. The necklace has a back tourmaline ago a cut in the pendant, and the two pins are made of amethyst*
Well... I thought not only do they look pretty on you, and the other part you might not believe in, but stones are said to help heal people, and I've found that to be true. Amethyst helps with stress and black tourmaline helps with headaches and will keep you grounded..
*She nods*
Hello. *hugs*
I love you all. :)
You know, I haven't done a speech telling you all how much I love you in a while.
But that's mostly because I'm lazy. :P
IT WAS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL TODAY. :)
First period, we played Christmas Pointless. Second period, we did a bit of work and then sat there watching a movie. Third period, we did proper work but had Christmas music on (urgh, it was horrible). Fourth period, we did Christmas activities and listened to French music (because I was in French). Fifth period, it was our form party, and I sat there playing Minesweeper and Solitaire with my earphones in to try and block out the noise of the Christmas music.
The point of actually BEING in school for most of that day was slightly beyond me. :P
Is Mara here?
Because when we played Christmas Pointless . . . we had various categories we could pick, like "Christmas Music" or "Films" or "Boybands" or "Soaps" or "Formula 1 Drivers."
There were like twenty categories available . . .
And guess what one of them was?
"One Direction."
:)
I love how they got a whole category all to themselves. :)
And our team picked that category, as well. XD
It was all questions like "What Was Their First Number 1 Single?" and "How Many Brit Awards Have They Won?" and "Who Is The Oldest Member?" and "Who Was Their Coach On The X Factor?"
so I didn't know any of that -_-
Because I only know the awesome facts that you tell me. :)
But hey, there were two Directioners in our team. They knew stuff. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
((Yeah, I think she got more snow than I did.))
((I'd be jealous, but I just went down to the kitchen table and saw HOUSE OF HADES. My sister's reading it, but I'm totally stealing it as soon as she puts it down!))
((And my stomach's barely bothering me even though I didn't get any medicine last night.))
((Seriously. Today is good!))
#ChaseForBook9
Hello Star!
BUT SIR GOT ONE OF THE ANSWERS WRONG!
You know, beacsue he made the game.
And the answer for their first number one single was "That's What Makes You Beautiful."
And the Directioner in our team, well one of them, put her hand up and told him it was wrong, and it was "What Makes You Beautiful."
And I am unobservant and don't read things properly, but I looked at the answer fully then and it was wrong and I was like I KNEW THAT WAS WRONG.
And I was proud for knowing the correct title, even though I hadn't paid attention.
If that makes sense. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Adra! :)
Is it really bad that I never finished reading Mark of Athena?
I used to really love Percy Jackson, and all . . .
I just kind of got bored.
And then LSODM arrived, and obviously I immediately started reading that instead.
And House of Hades is in the library, but I'm fine with not reading that, either.
:(
I mean seriously, I used to LOVE Percy Jackson.
And now I'm just like meh.
I know I have this thing were I don't need to know what happens in books . . . I mean, you can leave me on a cliffhanger, and I'll scream and then I'll just go meh, shove it in a box in my mind, and happily wait months before I go and buy the next book.
Because I just don't think about it.
And yeah . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
[Shrugs]
I think the old series was a lot better than the new series, tbh, so I guess I don't blame you.
#ChaseForBook9
I really need to draw something.
*puts thinking cap on*
#ChaseForBookNine
Percay
...
I think I disappeared, sorry. Byeeeee [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
We are at the finals and the students are killing the teacers
Bye Fabi!!!
Mara?
@Lantern: It sort of feels a bit like . . . like . . .
This might take a while to get into words.
It sort of feels like it's just doing the same things over and over and it's getting a bit old. And everything that's good about Percy Jackson is just being endlessly repeatedly, and now it's just a bit "Been there, done that."
And there's this way you expect it to be, and then it is, and . . . and then you're like like meh.
I mean . . . with the first series, Percy Jackson was utterly unique. And stuffs. And now . . . it's not "Wow, this is cool," it's "meh, it's this again."
And I do kind of like reading it.
But it's not as awesome.
Although the stories are really good and all.
I think Heroes of Olympus is good, but it's not awesome.
You know though . . . I've said this before, but the books I loved when I was like eight . . . they're AMAZING. But I can't read them ever again. Because when I read them now, it's just a little kid's story. Like the Seahorses series. I loved that. Let's talk about that.
It's like what I was saying yesterday - the book is exactly the same as it was when I was eight, it's just I looked at it differently when I was eight, and got something different out of it. And if I read the book, it would be a disappointment, so if I want to relive the story, I just have to look back at my memories and remember how it felt. And the emotions I felt when I was little - the fear, the horror, the dread, the spookiness, the terrible feeling that something was WRONG . . . well, basically, I'm saying 'fear' in lots of different ways . . .
And I get a much better emotional experience when I read by memories to when I read the book.
Because the book just isn't giving me it anymore.
:(
Um . . .
*has totally forgotten what I was saying*
Oh, yeah.
Like . . .
Well, Percy Jackson's not like that, but I think I'm just going to stick with the old series anyway. :)
And I want to read Percy Jackson now . . . :P
No, what I WAS saying was, I'm content with the memroies of the good old Percy Jackson days. Because memories are as good as the real thing, sometimes. :)
Althoguh I can still read Percy Jackson.
But you know. :)
You know when I talk about things? I make these beautiful observations about the universe, like how you don't know (and you don't know what you don't know, you just don't know), and how everything is both good and bad and they can't exist without each other (you see, I got that out of Stardust. Brilliant kid's series. Can't ever read it again), and how everything exists, somehow, somewhere, and how . . . well, you know my rants. :) You could think of something.
Anyway, if I'm at school in a lesson, and I start talking about it . . . Nobody gets it. And they're just like what. And they don't really follow. And most of my friends don't get it either.
And maybe nobody gets it because they're all normal and I'm just this mad person.
But it's kind of sad and lonely, you know.
TBC
And like . . . the world is beautiful, and there's all this stuff in it . . . and nobody can see it.
You know, I said this before, but a long time ago, before I can remember, my dad bought my cousins these expensive crystal things. And my mum was telling me about this in a crystal shop, and we were just going round looking at all these beautiful shining little models of crystal . . . and the cousins just thought it was cheap junk, and didn't realise they were actually like £100.
And that just makes me cry my eyes out every time I think about it.
Because it's not fair.
It's like . . . when someone goes to loads of effort to make something really nice, and they're all happy and hopeful, and then you just think it's trash.
And the poor little crystal models.
They were made to be LOVED, you know.
And I'm not sure why all these people can die and then what I cry about is crystal I've never seen and nonexistant vans, but I do.
And I think . . .
I think all the ordinary people in the world, the ones who just think I'm mad when I talk about the intricacies of the world . . . I think it's like that. And they don't see how beautiful these things are, like crystal.
And I tell myself I don't mind when people just tune out when I start ranting, or just think it's me waffling on again, but I kind of do mind.
Because maybe they don't seem important, the things I talk about, but they still kind of matter.
And all this stuff . . . it feels like it matters.
And when you're using your talking (because I think better when I speak/type my thoughts) to explore, and you're just finding all these discoveries, and you just want to grab someone and show them the crystal and the waterfalls and the rainbows, and they're just not looking, because they don't think it's important, or maybe they try to look, but they can't see it. Like in Narnia, when the dwarves were sitting there in paradise, and all they saw was a dark smelly old stable.
And it's just sad, you know?
And I don't know why I even start talking about these things because I just get upset, and like I say, nobody cares . . . and you don't have to tell me you care, because it's okay if you don't.
It's not that I feel lonely, even though I do something.
It's just, I think these things should be shared.
Or maybe I do just feel lonely, and I'm just making excuses.
Idk.
Ignore me.
#ChaseForBookNine
Sitting on the bus today, I’m surrounded by half a metal-and-plastic can full of people, all with that “I’ve survived two hours sitting on the floor waiting waiting waiting and now it’s over and it’s Christmas holidays and the waiting waiting waiting I need to do something HAPPY” buzz and they’re all talking and laughing and the talking leads to shouting, and singing and laughing, and yelling and laughing and everything is SO LOUD because it’s a metal-and-plastic can and so the sound can resonate resonate resonate, in a way that I guess a bus is like an amplifier. And all you can hear is ‘Merry Christmas Everybody’ being shouted/screamed/laughed, and even more so when people realise that they don’t actually know the words to the verse, and the laughing at what they seem to come up with as what SOUNDS like the verse (I quote – “A TURNIP ON HIS SLEIGH..!”), and the laughing at the bad singing and the laughing at the good singing, all so loud that I’m VERY grateful for my earphones because they’re not playing any music any more but they are dampening the volume so that it’s audible without totally breaking you.
And I’m kind of sitting there like ‘Well, I’ve just been sat in a hall with approximately two thousand people SCREAMING this song, and the concert band struggling to be heard without it, which is so loud that it’s (without overstatement) dizzying. And so frankly my ears are in PAIN and now I have half a bus full of people also SCREAMING this song and why? D:”
But I’m also smiling.
And they’re laughing, and I’m grinning and it’s not something that can be helped because fuck they’re enjoying themselves and it’s physically impossible not to be sitting in that and not be lifted somewhat. And it’s not fightable, but why would you want to fight it anyway, when you’re grinning your face off and there’s this warm flooding through your capillaries, despite the freezing outside and all of the windows now opened because that same internal warm got everybody way too overheating?
#ChaseForBook9
And the bus stops and goes and stops and goes, people get on and people get off but this singing enjoyment continues behind you, around you, and you can see the pensioners at the front turning around every so often, looking confused and almost disapproving but also smiling, until the most of the kids are off and home, but those left are still smiling, singing, shining all around you. And when the last of the pensioners get up to leave, they’re turning around and smiling and “Lovely singing,” she says, “Have a wonderful Christmas.”
And then it’s just two of them left – sisters - singing quieter now, between them both. Calmer, maybe, but still that happy, and still that smiling.
And then they’re gone, too, with smiles and festive wishes on their way out. And even though it’s quiet, now, the loud of that buzz is still lingering, and the warm is still warming, warming, warming. And then I’m letting people go ahead down and out of the door, until there’s nobody else left with a foot on the vehicle but the driver, and I’m turning to the step off and I say, as I do on every day, I’m saying “thank you”, because he’s the driver and he drove and I’m home and I’m grateful for it.
And for the first time ever, this driver, who I’ve probably mentioned before – he’s the one who wouldn’t let people on at one stop, but refused to stop for them where he said they were SUPPOSED to get on, and the one never seems to be happying on the outside, minding his own business but not so much in the polite way, and who has never even turned a head at the thanks in the years he’s been driving the thing for us – he responded. I couldn’t tell what he said, because it was still a grumble of sorts, but it was a mumble with a positive tone, and it was a response, and it made my day like nothing else ever had.
And I got home feeling good and I’m still feeling good, enough so that I had to type the thing up, and stick up here for you, and I’m remembering what I was trying to say yesterday, and I think this just tells it so well, that the contents of this comment, the contents of that metal-and-plastic can full of people which is part of daily routine, and the change that came in that routine – THAT is what I think about Christmas songs.

Oh my goodness
Hi Taia btw
I sort of feel like I'm upset, but of course half of me tells me I'm only upset because I think I'm going to be upset, and I'm not actually upset, but then I just don't know whether I am upset or not, and then I'm just lying on the ground going SHUT THE FUCK UP STAR, but then I don't know if I'm ACTUALLY in a tangled knot or if I only think I am, and maybe I'm upset and confused, and maybe I'm not upset but just confused and partially upset because confusion, and maybe I'm absolutely fine, and idekanym.

Sorry for poofing, I had to go to my dad's house /:
*blinks at Adra* Oh my gosh. Thank you so much! *hugs*?I haven't even gotten you anything yet.. Oh, wait! Hold on. *teleports* *appears back* *hands her a brightly-wrapped box*
(wbveryd D;)
But idk. To be able to be a witness to people just sitting there and making fools of themselves, only not ACTUALLY making fools of themselves because they're having fun, and they're enjoying themselves, it kind of eliminates any level of self-awareness and self-consciousness, because it's just that warm and that's all there is for that space of time, and being a spectator of that, and having that warm thrown at you... Idk. I just think it's an experience that's just so good and so beautiful and I just LIKE that, y'know?
*hugs Star back* Thank you. And thank you. And you're welcome. And :)

Howdy. :)

@Taia: :)
And I know what you mean. :)
Oh, gosh. My sister's started reading both the Inkheart trilogy and The Mortal Instruments, and I can't give her either of the second books, because the library didn't have them, so I'm just leaving her on the ends of things, and I'm just like errrr . . . :P
#ChaseForBookNine
And it's the Christmas holidays so I can't get to the library till after them . . . *facepalm*
#ChaseForBookNine
*huggles Inkness*
There are things that my head wants to say but it doesn't know how to say them because it kind of doesn't know what they are.
But I hope that you're doing okay, because you're Star and you're perfect and yes.
Hiya Mara! *hugs* :)
#ChaseForBook9
DAMN
I had just remembered something that I'd wanted to draw but didn't have time to at the time, and then my sister wandered in asking for the second Inkheart book (which I didn't have), and now I've forgotten it! D:
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: Whoops. :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Of course I'm perfect, I'm a bubble. :P *hugs* :)
Hope your life is good too, because it would be a shame if it wasn't. I mean, poor life. It only gets to live once, you know. And it's not it's fault it can't have its batteries replaced after it runs out. It's bad designing.
You know, in science, the Smart board has this message on it which says "The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp."
And my friend was just saying how sad it was.
And it kind of is, especially as the Smart board doesn't even care about how it's died, it just wants another employee.
And now I have to go eat dinner. Fours. :)

@Star: Aw, that sucks. :(
I guess you'll remember later? Or maybe you won't, but you'll find something else that's great to draw, that you may or may not have come up with had you re-remembered the first thing?
I hope it turns out good in whichever way would be goodest in the context, anyway. :)
Also mini-brb.

Star - Yeah, two Brit Awards. Why, what did I say? :P
Adra - *inside the box is a bracelet made with diamonds and with star shaped charms dangling off it* I was making bracelets last week for Perrie and Sophia, and I thought maybe you'd like one.. *blushes slightly* If you don't like it, it's fine...
@Lantern: That's just AWESOME. :) :) We're never that imaginative. :)
You know, if I was walking past your house, it would be your house that would get the 'woah . . .'s. :)
Hey Zaf! :)
Danke, Taia. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
No, Mara- it's beautiful. *She fastens it on, smiling* Thank you, Mara *hugs tightly*
@Mara: You said two. I thought they won one.

New post...
#ChaseForBook9
Hullo?
Is there anyone on?
Please tell me that we're not already back in the Novenber blog posts. I came on to check on you guys and I see the latest blogpost only had a few hundred comments left. So I came looking for the one not all filled up, and I did not expect it to be so far...
Are we really on this post now?
PS: if anyone is here already, hi.
November... I'm having spelling issues...
*decides to take first comment while waiting*
I dedicate this page to all the bloglandians, old and new.
Will add more a little later.
*realizes people are still on the last post*
Whoops. Heh, well... Surprise!
I'm going to add to the ded now.
I dedicate this page to the first generation of bloglandians which include Kallista and Occtaboon(been so long, I may have forgotten the spelling... Please forgive any future misspells); the friends I've made while on the blog which include our old 'gang' as we called it(you know who you are), Arthea, Miss, Fabi, Ember, Snow, Death, Mara, too many others to name really; and last but not least, all those newer bloglandians who came after I left and those who have yet to come. Here's to you!
Aw, I miss Lav
*hugs Lavender*
Hi, everyone, again! :)
Adra, your links to the new pages are really useful, btw. :) Thanks.
#ChaseForBookNine
:)
We're two years back, now..)
@Adra: Dittoness. :/
But not as much now, because I'm emailing her.
I don't email people enough, you know. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: I KNOW.
Also, I just realised . . .
I am going to Ireland THIS YEAR. *dies*
(Assuming that's still on. My mum said I could at the time . . .)
(I REALLY WANT TO GO TO IRELAND.)
(BECAUSE MEETING PEOPLE.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Thank you, Adra!
Zaf- Well, he thinks a lot of things. People are complex. I could try to just work with what you asked, but, if possible, could you be a little more specific?
#ChaseForBook9
(Yeah... I email you quite a bit. A few others from time to time. I don't really talk to people outside of Blogland a lot. :P)
*Continues to dance, of a sort, with the music as she plays*
*It's light, airy*
*Concentrates solely on the notes*
(:) I hope you get to go, Star. You'll have a wonderful time, I know it~)
@Star I currently have laryngitis/a head cold. My voice is crap.
@Ari I've always wanted to try glassblowing...
And I had a comment about how I did a project on Dale Chihuly for famous Washingtonians day in fourth grade and have been fascinated by the medium ever since, but I can't be bothered to rewrite it.
@Lav [hugs]
Hey everybody.
Not going to stay tonight. Just the plot line has taken a lot out of me at the minute.
I'm just in a lot of pain to be honest.
But love you all x
(Okay, Em *huggles*)
Is Lav actually here right now? *hugs Lav*
May be distant for a few minutes- I'm going to try eating spaghetti with syrup. :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Lantern: Um, yeah. :P
Then again, it's probably good in its own way, and it's not its fault, is it?
@Adra: WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME.
*hugs* :) :)
I only really talk to people outside of Blogland at school. :P
@Ari: I know what you mean. :) About the complexity of thoughts and people, that is.
#ChaseForBookNine
BOO YEAH BABY I DEFEATED AKINA
@Em: Okay. :) *hugs*
I really hope things improve for you. :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Is Lav actually here right now? *hugs Lav*

#ChaseForBook9
Okay Em [hugs]
I hope you feel better, Em. *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Congrats, Snow,
Okay, Ari.
I should probably go to sleep now . . .
And I mean ACTUALLY go to sleep, not just procrastinate doing it, then try and get to sleep, then think something I want to tell you and come on here, then have an emotional breakdown, then go back to trying to get to sleep.
#ChaseForBookNIne
I think I once tricked it.. I picked Adra. She's now in the system :p
(Sorry Dad couldnt get the gerbils to say hi xD)
Well....does he find me a good or bad leader?
XD okay, that was an over reaction
Fours. :)
#chaseForBookNine
That sounds good, Star- you're up late a lot *nods*
Night, Star [hugs]
*Waves* Night!
G2g eat, bye
(*Waves to Snow as well*)
Bye Snow...
*Gpes upstairs with the instrument*
*Wanders around the balcony in her main lab*
*Gets to the third floor, still playing*
*The music echoes hauntingly*
Jay: *laughs at Zaf's screams* Dear me are you actually sobbing?
Let. Go.
Jay: *touches over her heart*
*screaming*
Jay: *slaps and shackles* I got you now.
((Ah... If anyone wants me to, I'll bring in a character or two, else I may just ghost.))
Good morning, afternoon, evening, or other, Blogland.
