Christmas, 2012

Ah, Christmas...

Every year, my family tell me they don't know WHAT they're going to get me, and every year we have a great big laugh about it. But every year I think ah, THIS is the year. This is the year when they DO know what to get me, but they're all PRETENDING they don't. They're all conspiring with each other, pooling their money and resources, going that extra mile to get me the thing that will make me happy, whatever it may be. It's all a surprise, I think to myself. It's all a wonderful surprise and on Christmas Day when I've handed them their really really expensive gifts and I'm standing to one side while they ooh and ahh and laugh and hug, they're suddenly going to turn around and say Derek, surprise! We have what you've always wanted!

And then they show me a parcel beneath the tree and I fall to my knees, and with trembling hands I slowly tear the paper and lo... the most perfect present ever in the history of the world. And I am happy.

This year my mother got me a dart board.

She got me a dart board because, obviously, she knows how much I secretly love darts. She has cleverly read between the lines during each of our many conversations throughout the year- conversations in which darts have not been mentioned one single time- and she figured out that what I really wanted for Christmas, the thing that will finally make my life complete, is a great big dart board.

Mother, I think it is safe to say you have excelled yourself this year. Well done.

My brother and sisters, meanwhile, all got together and arranged an aircraft simulation lesson- where you sit in a cockpit thingy and take off and land a plane without actually, you know, being IN a plane. Well, they ALMOST did that. What they ACTUALLY did was hand me a piece of paper with all this written down. They got me a SUGGESTION for Christmas.

Now, to you, this mightn't sound that bad. You might be thinking hey, they didn't know if Derek would be interested in this, so they suggested it, and if he seemed agreeable, they'd go off and book it. And this, dear Minion, would a reasonable thing for you to think.

Unless you remember a few years ago where my sisters told me that what they were going to do for me that Christmas was renovate my bathroom. Oh wow, said I. A bathroom renovation, just what I've always wanted. A bathroom renovation as done by two pregnant women with no prior history of bathroom renovations, nor indeed any relevant knowledge of said undertaking. I just couldn't get any luckier.

And if you remember that, you may also remember that they never actually got around to doing it.

And you may also remember that last year, in some feeble attempt to make up for it, they got me a bath mat and towel. For Christmas. Between the two of them.



It wasn't all terrible disappointment and quiet tears when no one was looking, because today was also the day of Doctor Who and The Snowmen!

I'm not entirely sure who the villain was or what the logic was, and I thought Richard E Grant could have been used SO much better, but it was fast and funny and Matt Smith is great and Jenna Louise Coleman is... is...

Jenna Louise Coleman is just so PRETTY.

I know, I know, I have a history with Amy Pond. We were close. We were even in love, for a while. But times change. People change. They move on. I've moved on. I love Amy, I do, and she will always have a special place in my heart...

But Jenna Louise Coleman is just so PRETTY.


I... I think I love Jenna Louise Coleman. I think THAT is what I got for Christmas.

God (or whatever random deity you might acknowledge) bless us, every one.

Cat said...

Oh, and Mr. Strange, of course

Star Inkbright said...

:)

Thank you, O Strange One.

This is off topic, but the other day I started calling my brother Zathact Mist coz he was wearing pyjamas with a moose on the front. I'm sure I've said this before, but oh well.

YOU'RE WEIRD, KARA? JOIN THE CLUBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB. :)

Cat said...

Luciana said...

I feel so loved:3

I WAS TALKING TO LYNXIA THE OTHER DAY:D

Cat said...

Well, on an actually related note,
Oh! Would you
look at that... oh

Star Inkbright said...

HI CAT!

Yay! *smiles happily* You have reminded me that there is a grand total of THREE people calling me Ink! Woo-hoo!

. . . *hears sound of no one cheering*

Dammit. HOW DARE YOU NOT CHEER? HOW DARE YOU??????????

Kara said...

Luciana; Yeah, I'm pretty bad with name. xD
Cat; And hello to you. I have a cat, by the way. His name's Felix.
Valkyrie; Well, that's a good thing. I guess so. And I hope that wall was made of styrofoam. Styrofoam that's really really soft. x)
Mara; Sorry, no. I'm not a great writer, but I do want to be an author when I get older. It's just that this username is the only one I could get to relate to Skulduggery; I'm kinda obsessed. xD

Kara said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*tries to tip fez to Cat* *fails*

Luciana said...

CAT!

Melica Frost said...

Mara seee cause you said read all about it described how you were feeling I started playing it on guitar :D

Unknown said...

Yay my name is on the list

Unknown said...

Darn it. You had the same name as her. Oh well. Sorry :P

Luci - Guess what song came on when I put shuffle on my phone?

What.

Makes.

You.

BEAUTIFUL.

:)

Unknown said...

Mel - YOU CAN PLAY GUITAR?! OMG TEACH MEEEE! VIRTUALLY!!

Kara said...

Valkyrie, didn't Derek write, like, a whole BLOG about you? Omigosh. I READ that blog. Derek must know you guys, somehow... Oh, how jealous am I. But I did get to see him once. 'Twas amazing. He called me a giggler. xD

Luciana said...

*laughs like a lunatic* DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES, *hugs 52 SP books and mumbles about Chinduggery and Steak and The Man with Golden Eyes*

Cat said...

You are aware of the lack of brim that is present in the cases of most
fezezes.
fezezes? fez? fezes? fez? fex? fezs?
This is important,
does anyone know?
maybe
it's like mooses.
Maybe
the plural of
fez
is
Mooses.

Good Luck, Skul-ManFan. Say hello to him for me, and make sure he knows that
I cares about his choice of
reading material,
day,
and rabbits. Tell him
that I love his
octopus bow-tie.

I can not say that I actually know how
to cheer,
Ink...

Star Inkbright said...

Three, people, is better than two. *nods*

ONLY ARTEMIS FOWL DOESN'T THINK SO, COZ THREE IS A BAD NUMBER FOR HIM COZ IT'S TOO CLOSE TO FOUR.

Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex angers me. It makes mental disorders into something funny. I angered am. Mental disorders not a joke are. They a serious matter are.

Although,

'Artemis winced. Holly was right; the Atlantis Complex was not funny.'

That molifys me slightly. :)

I JUST LOOKED AT A PAGE OF ARTEMIS FOWL TO LOOK UP THE QUOTE AND NOW I MISS IT SO MUCH. *cries*

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

Eh im in pain

Melica Frost said...

Emm I dont know how easily that can be done mara because I have been playin guitar for about 5 years and I found it challenging with a face to face teacher...

Unknown said...

Hola Zaf *hugs*

Cat said...

I dont have to agree with you, Ink
But
of course
I do.

Zafira, what is wrong?

Luciana said...

Unknown said...

Mel - hmm. That IS quite a problem.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yep, Kara, he's written two posts about me :D

Well, those two were when I had birthday parties for him. But I've been mentioned in a few others.


Melica Frost said...

Yeah but first question do you have a guitar?

Unknown said...

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

And Sparky has had one called 'SPARKY AND JOSIE! URGENT!' It was the first one I ever read.

And even Em and Chase got mentioned.

But do I ever get a nod? *was going to lament about not be mentioned but gets distracted by the 'ever'* Oooh, Ever. *looks at book* Hello, Ever.

*starts singing We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together*

Msd.

Unknown said...

Zaf... a whole lot of ppl can say that... like me

Cat said...

LUCIANIA SCA'TH!

I think I'll go run into my basement ceiling. If i can't reach, Im sure there is one of my hammers there...
oh, darn.
I lost my heavy ones...

I will find something that works.

Unknown said...

WAIT WAIT. MEL. I do. It's purple.

Star Inkbright said...

Over four hours ago, I got on the laptop with the intention of writing something.

And what have I done? Nothing. :P

Melica Frost said...

Cat said...

By SkulManFan.

Oh, and by the way
I very well could be back.
Maybe.

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

Im American and my British accent makes people believe I am British

Unknown said...

OMG luciana I got 52!!!!!

Unknown said...

I haven't been mentioned in a Blogpost.

...Yet.

Melica Frost said...

British accent? Is that like a mix of scottish english welsh and northern irish?

Star Inkbright said...

*looks at Mara's comment mentioning it being so clear now*

*sings* It is so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal, I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man

Unknown said...

I've got a New Zealand accent... that's about it....

Unknown said...

The Amazing World of Gumball and Gravity Falls are just hilarious.

Star Inkbright said...

*jerks head at Melica* There are so many different accents just in England. Especially considoring the size of our country, we have an enourmas varity in accent.

Melica Frost said...

A lot of peoples scottish accents are highly offensive and way out ...

Unknown said...

Guys can I ask u ppl sumfing?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hello everyone I don't have an eye and begora cork/leprechaun accent but I can do almost all the Irish accents.

Cat said...

I do not actually have any sort of an accent,
but people tend
to think that I do
because
I sound stupid when I speak.

Unknown said...

Guys, do you mind if I make my comment the first one? I have something important to say...

Melica Frost said...

What is it regan?

Cat said...

You can ask me, Regan June,
but I can't tell you if I
will be any help at all
and I certainly can not say
that you should care about what i do say

Hello Eden Threatening.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I think Scottish accents are cool.
I mean the real ones though.
My god others husband is from Scotland and his accent is awesome. Plus billy Connelly who I think should play me speckle if there is a movie.

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

Its every 200 isnt it?

Unknown said...

Am I me?

Star Inkbright said...

HI EDEN! :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*raises hand* I have an annoying Washington accent!

Well, actually, Washington ones aren't particularly annoying, but it's American, so...

Melica Frost said...

Yeah everyone that isnt from edinburgh sounds properly scottish like glaswedians (me) im from glasgow live in glasgow and dont intend to leave glasgow :D

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay this seems to be some form of psychological question which I would be quite useless at my mom is always the one who deals with those things in my family.

Luciana said...

NO, REGAN, YOU ARE NOT YOU. WE ARE ALL FIGMENTS OF DEREK'S IMAGINATION!

Drew O'Connor said...

OH EVERYONE!!!!

Forgot to say that I am on the Skype so if anyone else has Skype and wants to add me please do...

Username: emerald.melody

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hey star, how ya nearly finished fear.

Nixion Strange said...

B A H

Melica Frost said...

See in hollyoaks theres a guy who plays Joel I have met joel and can say he is from glasgow and sounds a hell of a lot like my brother :D

Drew O'Connor said...

THERE IS THE NIX!!!

Heya Nix!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Well you can only prove the existence of yourself everything else in this universe could be fakes except for you.
I'm interested in practical psychology not any of the psychology connected to self actualisation and religion.

Cat said...

I cant say that anyone knows for sure, Regan June.

Hello Emerald Melody! Really long time, no see. I think the last time I was here... well, that was the ball, and Chase and Everything. But the Time before that- or possibly after, i have no perception of time- you were in the hospital.

Cat said...

I really honestly doubt that you know. And I doubt that anyone knows you to be sure.

Unknown said...

Ugh.

Justin Bieber keeps coming on shuffle -_-

Star Inkbright said...

Bah bah. *nods*

YAY! YOU NEARLY FINSIHED FEAR HAVE! :)

I to stop forming my sentences like this need. *frowns*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hey em and nix.
Nix I see you got district three in the competition.

Star Inkbright said...

Chase and Em engaged now are! Derek it in his blog post mentioned! :)

Luciana said...

Ugh, why must January 9th be so far away!?

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

Im still excited after Sunday

Cat said...

It doesnt have to be.

Unknown said...

DNA is officially my favourite non-1D song :)

Hi Emerald! *hugs*

Drew O'Connor said...

Hey once again everyone.

CAT *hugs* So glad to see you...

Um, has anyone seen Chase today??

Cat said...

Em.
Never mind, I suppose I couldnt
i mean
expect you
to remember

Good to see you, though

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Star one question, have you been watching Star Wars because it sound like your talking like yoda?

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

No sorry Emmy!

* hugs*

My new years resolution:no explodig Irelanx

Brb food

Cat said...

No, It doesnt sound like Yoda.

Luciana said...

I'm not sure I have any favourite song. :P

Actually, my song of the day is Teen Idle.
Feeling super super! Suicidal~.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Oh I need to think of a resolution.
Hmmm.

Unknown said...

SWIVEL CHAIRS ARE FUN.

Luciana said...

I BET DEREK HAS A SWIVEL CHAIR!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

The speech is ordered the way he would say it.

Unknown said...

*laughs* I THINK I MIGHT GET SICK!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I don't like swivel chairs.
I had one in my room but I kept messing on it when I was going to do my homework.

Cat said...

No, it actually isn't quite the same... sorry. I am really picky about the Star Wars and et cetera.

But, ah... Emerald...
no hugs, thanks.

Star Inkbright said...

'Eden: *laughs* My whole family started talking like Yoda in August/September when we were watching the Star Wars's. I am talking like Yoda, yes, although mostly I'm doing it to be German because they often put the verb at the end. I just like doing it. It's addictive.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Well it is close enough and I consider myself quite knowledgeable about Star Wars.

Cat said...

But are you wearing your cow boots? I do not know if I really approve of you being sick while you are not in your cow boots.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Ha cat!

Unknown said...

Mara gotta go.

Thank you all so much guys. I really mean it. I love you all :)

~ Mara x

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Bye Mara.

Luciana said...

Bye beautiful! *hugs Mara*

Star Inkbright said...

*@Eden

Yoda puts the verb at the end. My mum commented that it was like Dutch or German. :)

German always has the verb at the end in the past tense. I ate a sMARAtie = I a sMARAtie ate or ich eine sMARAtie gegessen. *decides that sMARAties are female, coz Mara is*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay we'll I'd o French in school but yeah I understand.

Star Inkbright said...

Also, in rules and stuff the verb is at the end. Du musst nicht in Klassenzimmer an Freunde SMS schicken - You must not text your friends in class. Or literally, you must not in class your friends text.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Kay.

Star Inkbright said...

I do French and German. I want to pick both at options time. Good idea, bad idea, terrible idea?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Well in my school I think your allowed only one foreign language.
It's because it would be too hard to learn three languages.
( Irish French German )

Cat said...

Watch the Do(p) and Io(p) as well, however, as well as his occasional varying subject placement.

Luciana said...

TERRIBLE IDEA, STAR!

I'm top in the school for both my languages but it's really stressful if you're not a natural at both languages. Amy, a girl in my year, took French and German and her grades have suffered because of it.

Star Inkbright said...

The years below me are all expected to learn French, German AND Spanish for three years. O_O

In our year 128 out of 330 of us learn German, the rest just French.

Star Inkbright said...

:(

But I LIKE French and German. Both of them. French and German are useful and important, which I can say in German. :)

Drew O'Connor said...

Just watched Benedict Cumberbatch play the Creature in Frankenstein, the play.

Just one word: EPICNESS!!!

I've only ever seen Benedict play Sherlock and then to see him play this complex character on stage, has just raised my respect for this man as an actor.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I think you can switch but it would mean the schedule would be out the window and you'd need a lot of catching up because you'd be a year behind.

Star Inkbright said...

Aber ich MAG Franzosich und Deutsch. Franzosich und Deutsh bist nutlich und wichtig.

Sorry about the accents which I am unable to do.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I like French and I'm good at it because I had three French auperes ( ooh pairs) if that's how you spell it and it didn't help my vocab but I'm the best in the class because I can pronounce all the words properly.

Star Inkbright said...

I should be asleep. :/

Luciana said...

I love French! But they kinda made me do Spanish. I do love it, it's just... Not as much as French, however.

Star Inkbright said...

Au pairs, Eden? :)

Reading books gives me a good vocabulary. Not so much now, coz we get taught all these fancy words. *scowls*

I hate it when I know something all on my own and then we get taught it in school, because it makes it look like I didn't know it in the first place. If I'm good at something, I want people to recognise that. One of my flaws.

Star Inkbright said...

I could guess that. You mention French more. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Six hours, I've been here. :O

Star Inkbright said...

Without being really distant, that is. It's almost unheard of. O_O

Luciana said...

I used to count in French on the way up to nursery... And people wonder why I'm so good at French...

Apparently I have a natural flair for languages, English included:3

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Yep.
I know it's the worst because I've just started out in secondary a few of the teachers don't know how much I know because they explain everything in such detail.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

It can be so annoying.

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* I'm not entirely sure why I find this amusing, but the beginning of my first Note filled with my Christmas story part two says "the President of the United States of America," then the beginning of the next two say, "throbbing pain," and, "threat."

Star Inkbright said...

My Art teacher was really impressed with me in year seven coz I was so much better than everyone else, but by the end of the year he'd taught everyone else enough that for the next two years I've been pretty average at Art. :(

It's really selfish of me, sorry.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

That is random.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Gtg guys, my mom is getting suspicious I might be back later.

Star Inkbright said...

How do you spell privelige? My brain does this; I know the word, have been reading it and using it for years but when I come to spell it, I can't work out what a few letters are. Anxiety and definite are other words that did this with me. *nods at Ivy's mixed up sentence from this morning* It's because my brain works like that, seeing the vague shape of the words and not the letter in it.

In short, I'm crap at spelling. XD

Star Inkbright said...

:( FOURS EDEN! How come we always end up having long conversations about school, anyway?'~'

Drew O'Connor said...

Well I did place a comment about Benedict Cumberbatch but it was lost in the conversation of languages...

Luciana said...

I wish Zath was here:/

I need to talk to someone so badly...:/

Star Inkbright said...

*sings*
I guess this is our last goodbye
But you don't care, so I won't cry
You'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm to full to swallow my pride

. . .

Yes, the songs in our car are always so cheerful . . .

Cat said...

I sawr it, Emerald... do not expect you to've read mine, but...
I am sure he was utterly fantasic

Cat said...

Luciania...

Unknown said...

Heylo guys wats evryone doin?

Star Inkbright said...

DAMMIT, IT'S STUCK IN MY HEAD.

Cat said...

Not being everyone, I can''t say I know. Try asking Ink.

Drew O'Connor said...

It's just amazing seeing him get into the mind of this iconic Creature and not make him out to be your classic horror monster...

He's more like an autistic child.

And you should speak up for often Cat, I love talking to you.

Star Inkbright said...

NOT what I'm meant to be doing, aka sleeping. Hi!

Star Inkbright said...

*blinks* Uh, ask me what?

Sorry, irl I'm always like this. I don't listen to a word of what people are saying, then they mention my name and I realise I don't know what they're talking about and go, "Uh, what?"

Unknown said...

I can't I can't I can't stand losing.... grrr lol now I got it ink

Drew O'Connor said...

And I'm ignored...

Again.

Never mind, writing to do, Drew to kill and what have you.

Maybe I'll be listened to when I comment on something like a pineapple next time...

Cat said...

Oh.
Oh.
Oh.

Oh.


Well... Emerald...
I was only saying
that
I dont really enjoy hugs
the way you all seem to.

Don't be sorry about it, Ink-
Just asking you what everyone was doing...

Cat said...

Emerald. Dont you ever. Ever. Ever freaking say that again.

Drew O'Connor said...

Never say what again??

Star Inkbright said...

*blinks* Mwah?

It's a song that has a habit of staying in your head, Regan. D:

By The Police.

Star Inkbright said...

I've totally lost the plot here. Maybe I should go to sleep. :/

Cat said...

You should see it when you're off- everyone asks where you are. how you are. asks someone to ask someone how you are. everyone loves you. everyone is sad when they miss you, Emerald. I dont care if you dont try to be a freak like some of them. No one does. Becasue you dont have to.
And you can ignore people, too- and they'll care.

It is different for you than it is for some people. it is different for you. when you disappear, people ask where you went.
People Care about you, Emerald.
I wont ever ignore you on purpose.


Not that it matters, but yeah. This is what I see, Emerald.

Cat said...

I havent refreshed my page... I have no idea what is being said. Maybe Ill read later, but All i can think of is before, Emerald, and all those times when you scared me because it was like you didnt think anyone cared, and you were leaving and you sounded ready to do... anything. and I was worried about you, emerald... I dont know what you just said, that made me say that, but all im remembering is those times and i cant read it again just yet. So maybe I will see you
later.

Unknown said...

The police suck... they don't suck but there songs are soooooooooooooooooo ultra catchy that it sort of plays over and over and over and over in my head :-) I'm weirdish eh?

Star Inkbright said...

Why There Wouldn’t Be Twelve Days Of Christmas If Hunter Had Anything To Do With It. (Part One, aka "On the twelfth day of Christmas, my good friends gave to me . . . NOTHING")

"You can't all have not got me a Christmas present," Hunter said disbelievingly. He wasn't that annoyed. Or he was and he'd forgotten to change his eyes from green into a more annoyed colour.
"Um . . . " Spiko averted his eyes guiltily, then grabbed his phone and turned up the music emanating mhis technological, this-must-only-be-used-for-matters-of-importance-and-not-for-playing-music earpiece so he could pretend he couldn't tell what they were saying.
Ez shrugged. "You owe me, like, five pairs of boots? You don't deserve a Christmas present."
"I gave you ten pairs of boots for your Christmas present," Hunter protested, falling into an armchair.
"Yes, you did. Good boy. Now you're only five pairs in debt," she grinned.
"Sharkzes?" Hunter asked hopefully. "Please tell me you gave me a Christmas present."
"I'll go out and buy you one if you give me a pay rise," he replied, eyes not leaving his phone.
Spiko nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, me too, man!"
Hunter looked at Ez, tilting his head to the side. "See? Even he can lip-read."
She glared back at him.
"I have," Hunter told them dramatically, "millions of people offering me Christmas presents. I give most of them away, because I don't need millions of pieces of junk and most of said pieces of junk came from people I don't know, don't really know, or only know them because I can read people and they don't really know me at all. The only Christmas presents that matter are thoughtful gifts of love, friendship or both from the people who know you best. Except this year, the people who know me best just can't be bothered. How is it that I have people I don't know are offering me their cars, leaving them transportless, and you lot are offering me nothing?”
Spiko shrugged. Sharky ignored him. Ez told him that he had all those cars so stop being greedy.
"I rarely accepted the cars, or if I did, I gave them away five minutes later," Hunter pointed out.
Ez raised her eyebrow. "See? Ungrateful."
"They only gave me cars because they wanted me to give them jobs that paid for them to have thousands of cars." His eyes turned a pleading purple. "It's not what the gift is, it's the intent behind it! You people are meant to give me gifts because you intend to remind me that we're friends and we have unromantic affection for each other!"
Sharky moved a hand towards Hunter. "Here's your Christmas present. It's a piece of air. Yes, you can get it anywhere, but it's special coz I intend friendship with it. Happy?"

"No." Hunter jumped up, standing on the arms of the chair. "I have to force you all to buy Christmas presents now. So you get into the habit of automatically displaying friendship at Christmas, whether to me or anyone else."
"Whatever," Sharky muttered.
"I gave my boyfriends Christmas presents," Ez told him. "That's three whole people I bought presents for. And I gave presents to all the people I want to like me. That's tons of people I've presentyfied already."
Hunter rolled his eyes. "Only because you make money from people liking you."
She nodded. "Uh-huh. But why does that matter?"
"Fine," Hunter decided. "You have until the sixth of January to get me my Christmas presents, and -"
"Why the sixth?" Spiko interrupted.
Ez began singing a rude version of The Twelve Days Of Christmas. Sharky reached over and clamped a hand over her mouth. She kicked his leg with her stiletto heel and he moaned, releasing her.
"Because there are twelve days of Christmas," Hunter explained, ignoring them.
Spiko pulled his earpiece out. "Why?"
"Because that's how long it took for the wise men to reach the manger where Jesus was born, allegedly," Hunter began, his eyes turning blue as he went into explanation mode
"Which is stupid," Ez chipped in, "because we don't even celebrate Christmas on the day Jesus was born, IF he was born, and most people don't even think about Christmas as the birth of Jesus. Furthermore, I doubt anyone can remember the exact number of days it took the wise men to reach the manger. It isn't like they have security cameras we can check the days on."
Hunter scowled at her. "Stop quoting me when I'm right next to you. How can I tell people anything when you keep telling them for me? It's - hang on a second." His eyes started flicking different colours as ideas flashed through his mind.
"Oh no," Sharky muttered. "Something tells me I'm not gonna like this idea.
Hunter grinned at him, his eyes back to green. "Nope, you aren't," he said cheerfully. "I'm going to extend Christmas. If it takes me till the summer to get my Christmas presents, I am going to get them."
"That's crazy," Sharky said half-heartedly.
"Aren't my best plans always?" Hunter pointed out.

Cat... I've been gone for 5 weeks, didn't have a laptop, only able to appear when I could.

No one cared.

Went back into hospital for a second time. I got more attention in hospital then any other time on here.

Now that the buzz of the engagement has faded, no one gives a fuck anymore.

I'm literally breaking from the inside because I feel like I'm losing every single friend I ever made over the summer.

And it's not fair.

They repeat all the lines, of course they stick over and over in people's heads. *scowls*

Canary in a coalmine is a repeated line.

Then there's I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing.

And don't stand so close to me.

And I send an SOS to the world, I send an SOS to the world, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, message in a bottle, message in a bottle . . . Actually, that one's one of my favourites.

*frowns* Now I sound like an expert. O_O

Star Inkbright said...
