Let's say no more about it!
(Other than to say, perhaps, that this may not be the FINAL artwork, and that maybe the art department need a FEW more days to tweak the colours, and that maybe, possibly, this piece might not even be by the hand of Mr Percival.)
(But let's face it, it's hard to tell the difference, right?)

Wbd; playing the Sims. Procrastinating an essay:P
[Nods]
I'm procrastinating getting out of bed. If I take even one blanket off, it's freeeeeeeeeezing!
How've you been?
Hello Zaf.
#ChaseForBook9
Dead lol but I don't have school
Ah. I technically have school, but my teacher (aka Mom) is stuck in Chicago still. :-/ As long as I get stuff done before she gets back, I think I can get away with hiding under the covers for a while.
#ChaseForBook9
Ah you're homeschooled! I'm regular school so we had a smow day
Mm hm.
We don't get a lot of snow days...
A. Because it never actually snows here
B. And when it does snow, it's usually a really hard, icy snow that isn't fun to sled on or sculpt with
C. And when there's nice snow, we usually have to do schoolwork whenever we're not outside in it
So yeah.
#ChaseForBook9
Ah. We got snow maybe 2" but then it iced half an inch
We get snow, and then the temperature drifts above freezing and below again, melting the snow and turning it into ice. A couple years ago, there was a thick layer over everything, and branches were falling off and stuff, because they couldn't hold all the extra weight.
#ChaseForBook9
Ooooh

Zavel but only read it if you read LSODM
My GOD it took a long time to find you guys. When are we now? Over a year ago. Jeeps. :S
Anywaves - How are y'all doing? :)
#ChaseForBook9
Good xD
I'll read it when I have time, Zaf.
Hi Taia! [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Okays!
Do you remember what he said?
I do,
He told you
He'd nevee ever hurt you
Little Mix are gone all RnB and I lOVE IT :'D
Hai Mara
*tilts head* Snow-day for us is... variable.
We can have a couple of centimetres of heardly-even-staying-on-the-ground and our headteacher'll be like WOAH THERE'S SNOW EVERYBODY STAY HOME.
And then the following week the sky'll be dropping snow on us like there's nothing else it knows how to do and it's stick-stick-sticking and just walking past three houses to get to your bus stop is near impossible bc it's so thick you can't see and then you slip on the ice/snow/whatnot on the road and almost get hit by a car, and it's like HEY KIDS IT'S SCHOOL TIME :) !!!
Last year, it got so bad the bus companies ALL sent the public service buses over to the school, somewhere betwixt morning and lunchtimes, bc why would they keep kids in school when it's unlikely they'll even be able to LEAVE by the end of the day, and every other school is shut, and frankly how can you work when you;re freezing every part of you off?
And the school sent the buses away.
"Come back when you're SUPPOSED TO," They say, "We're way too hardcore for that."
It was ahrehuo;i'jynmt:. :P
Hey Fabiulousness! :) *hugs*
Zafzafzafzaf! *hugs* Hey :)
Marrrrrraaaaaaaaaarrrrrraaaaaaaaa! *hugs* Helloo~ :)

Maraaaaaaaa!
[hugs]
[nods]
Salute is perfect!
Whoa, Taia, that's... Actually I'm not sure what it is. Hm....
#ChaseForBook9
Ah! That's stupid like its almost sadistic
*laughs* :P
#CHaseForBook9
*curls up in a ball*
GAH.
The villain doesn't want to hurt the little girl. It's making the plot boring!
Evil robot under villain's control: You're all going to die. If you move, I will blast you with lasers. Oh, you over there? You can leave now. I don't have a problem with you.
#ChaseForBook9
Well, damn. I get home and discovered I've been going round half the day with black smudges smudging from my eyes like smudged mascara, because I always have tons of ink on my hands and I was wiping my eyes with my inky hands when I was crying (I wasn't really upset, it's fine), and I'm juts like WHY MY FRIENDS NO POINT OUT THESE THINGS TO ME.
Not here. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
*eye
Mostly just one eye.
*nods*
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*attacklehugs everyone*
#ChaseForBookNine
[hugs Starararawr]
#ChaseForBook9
(Seriously, me crying isn't quite a daily occurrence, but it happens multiple times in a week. It doesn't necessarily mean I'm sad. Nobody get concerned. :P)
#ChaseForBookNine
*huggles Star* Things can be sucky like that.
I accidentally drew a huge line with my pen across one side of my forehead on Friday. Twice. Consecutively. :P
More to the point, though, maybe they think you can handle it, because you're awesome and people are hardly gonnna "OOOH. STAR'S GOT BLACK INK 'ROUND HER EYES. THAT'S SO STUPID AND WRONG LET'S ALL LAUGH." because that would just be dumb. ANd if people DID do that then that kinda says something pretty sad about those people, really. :/
My point is, you rule, and so whether or not it looks like you've smudged mascara around your eyes or not, that doesn't change. You still rule.
Y'know?
And, also, it probably was not as bad as you think.
Also on Friday, a friend of mine, after four hours of art, ended up with her school jumper decorated with a large blue/white smudge of paint, her school shirt more shades-of-green than it was standard white, and her head/face with random lines of colour across.
But her art was looking SO AWESOME :):):) so idk. :P
#ChaseForBook9
Also STAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR *huggles* Hewy! :)
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Lantern! :)
Hahaha, us at Burton Constable:
Me and brother: *see sign next to kickboard saying "TAKE CARE, KICKBOARDS"
Us: *start miming kicking the board*
Few minutes later: Brother: What would happen if we were in Merlin's time?
Me: *looks up* *hurridly backs out from under chandelier*
:P
Sorry, my mum needed the laptop to make a consent form. :/
#ChaseForBookNine
Hiya
@Taia: *hugs* Thank you. :) :)
Seriously. :)
I mean, all the people who'd make fun of me for it would be making fun of me for something else, so you know . . . :)
MEH. YOU'RE AWESOME.
Um, really, really msd, because dinner's almost ready. But brb for when I do poof. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Zaf! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm so glad I don't actually wear mascara though, because it would just be like going everywhere every time I started crying. :O
It would be rather bothersome.
#CahseForBookNine
Hola! Hmm debating what to do
@Star: *hugs back* :)
You're very welcome, of course. :)
And - Thank you.
@Star Again: *laughs* :P
I don't, either, because basically AIR makes my eyes cry. Cold or wind or air or idek. I walk up to my bus in the morning and by the time I'm at the top of the road there are rivulets of tears down each cheek and people are kind of trying to smile consolingly and I'm just like "IT'S THE AIR. THE AIR. IT JUST GETS IN MY EYES I'M FINE. THANKS FOR THE EFFORT BUT SERIOUSLY" :P
@Zaffy: Debating? What's on?
#ChaseForBook9
Im just not sure what to do ad i think we may have off tomorrow again
Mascara gets all yucky and globby, though...
I guess maybe because I only use it a couple times a year for dance recitals.
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: *laughs* Poor you. :( Thanks. :)
@Zaf: Hey! :)
Make something for someone. :) It's really fun to do and when you give it to them they get so happy at you and it just makes you feel so good. :)
Wbd, need to do this thingy with my brother.
#ChaseForBookNine
Heyyyyy everyoneeeeee
@Zaf: Ah. Hm.
I always end up with a camera in hand when it snows, for some reason.
Indoors or out.
Find something you can enjoy?
#ChaseForBook9
Wait.
*pauses*
"What's on?"
Omg no.
it's Manchee.
Manchee in my head.
"What's on?" Manchee keeps barking, which is his version of "What's going on?"
These books really change the way in which I THINK. I keep saying 'twixt' or 'betwixt' rather than 'between', too.
Curse Chaos Walking and its stupid, perfect talking dog, who's only MORE perfect when I'm re-reading and it's too much perfectttt.
Mancheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Chi! [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
@Fabi: Mm-hm. *nods*
Maybe it depends on the type, or something? I have no idea. *shrugs helplessly*
@Star: :P / :)
@Zaf: OOH. I like Star's idea, actually. *nods* :)
Howdy, Chione! *hugs* :)
#ChaseForBook9
I don't know either! Mine is probably just old. :-P
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs* If that's the case, then mine'll be awful. xP

Read only if you read LSODM its Zavel :)
@Zaf: I'd love to read it, but the LSODM. Thanks muchly for the warning, however. :)
#ChaseForBook9
It's fine I just figured be safe and all and yeah it's kinda a big thing so totes dont read it
@Zaf: *points to brother and homework*
@Taia: CHAOS WALKING!!!!!!!!!! :)
It's so awesome.
And sad.
And awesome.
And sad.
And awesome.
C:/D:
@Fabi: Maybe. *shrugs* *isn't a mascara expert* :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I just refused to put one of my brother's clues in the quiz because he wanted to hide it in a wigwam and one of the lines in the rhyming couplet was "The people who live in my like to fight." XD
Me: *has a go at him*
#ChaseForBookNine
*me
#ChaseForBookNine
Okie, Zaf. :3
How's everything at the front of the house?
I don't know, I can't see out~
Naw-naw-naw-naw-NAAAAWWWWWWWWWWwww
@Star: I KNOWWWWWWWWw. It's autyurgrh. D: / C: / D: / C:
I'm re-reading 'em, (slowly :P) currently. I'm only up to Ch.37/P.400of TKONLG, atm, which is when, um, whennnnn. Never mind. Spoilers.
But I have CRIED SO MUCH and I'm not even done the first book.
I have a friend who always tells me off because I didn't cry in any of the Hunger Games, and I just want to throw this book at her and scream just to prove some kind of a point. :P
But it's kind of worse, re-reading, because I KNOW what's coming and it becomes like a tragedy of sorts and there are so many parts that I'm just dreading and dreading and dreading, it's insane.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm in a really frustrated mood, so . . . yeah.
Don't you just want people to leave you ALONE sometimes? And every time there's the slightest noise, like talking or footsteps, it just irritates you so much. And you just want to cry or scream or something. And it's horrible because you can't really get away from it.
#ChaseForBookNine
They managed to put Mom on a flight this afternoon.
[Hopes this one will actually be able to leave the ground]
#ChaseForBook9
Ooh yeah its bad out there....
@Taia: Ikr!!! *is still in the process of rereading them*
*DAMN, I read like a snail these days*
And I was crying at the first few pages because the way Todd thinks of the Spackle is just horrible.
"the Spackle, or 'spacks' if you wanna spit it, as everyone does after what they did in the war."
Me: D':
And it's just . . . idk, it's just horrible. D:
ALL OF IT IS AMAZING, THOUGH, LIKE.
I was crying so much whilst watching Catching Fire, haha. Although I was mostly crying before this person died, and my friend was mostly crying after, and I was saying that to this other girl, and she was like "What is there to CRY at before he dies?"
And I think most people cry at the characters suffering, but I mostly like that kind of stuff because I'm a sadistic person.
Whereas I was just crying at the oppression and about people not being allowed to show proper human kindness and how people were being punished for being awesome and how that kind of stuff goes on in the real world, and . . . ARGHHHHHHHHHHH SADNESS. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Lantern: I wish the plane good luck. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Zavel omg *is curled up in a ball*
Oh...
#ChaseForBook9
@Star: *huggles* :/ I know what you mean, I think.
I kind of end up under a desk or something with headphones and Farewell Continental and shut eyes and kind of close up until the FC sort of makes that OK.
I hope you're feeling alright-er soon, anyway. :)
@Fabi :*hugs* I hope so, too.
@Star: YES. I KNOW. I cry more for the similar reasons.
What hits me a lot in Chaos Walking is the exploration of perspectives, and experiences, and how TOddd is literally going pn what he's been told alone, because it's all he knows, and how he's literally been crafted by his society into what he is and everything that he knows, it's all built up, and, idk.
And when something different is, it's the way that other things aren't doubted, the new things are squished in to fit the shape of the old things, kind of. And it's the changing of that shape, idk. I just really like how NEss does that.
But I cry, I think, a lot for the Davy-s in these books. And the Mayor towards the end of MOM, because I think that is just so... idek. Sadness.
But the way that everything's changing, and we see that, and each perspective and idk.
I could rant all day.
But I won't, because I'll end up with a whole ocean of spoilerness. And that'd be un-good.
#ChaseForBook9
@Lantern: Oh . . . ?
#ChaseForBookNine
@Taia: DON'T EVEN MENTION DAVY.
I read the end of TAATA when I was babysitting and I was just like YOU CAN'T BE SITTING HERE CRYING IN SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE.
And - *nods* That's a radifying way of putting it. :)
I like the way Chaos Walking says so much. And the horrible things that just ain't fair but that's how the world is anyway. And . . . idk. I find it hard to put the others things into words.
And I would love to rant all day with you, but how about I not. D: *points to German homework*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Fabi: 're you okay?
OH and @STar: The HERE part. That always blows me away. I reread that even when I'm not rereading the books. It's just so perfectly, idk. I just WOW so much.
#ChaseForBook9
Course I am.
Wbd.
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: I don't own the books myself. -_-
The curse of discovering all yoru books from the library. We have a really good collection of books at home now beacsue my sister got into buying them, so she's bought Percy Jackson and Artemis Fowl and . . .. stuff, and I have Gone and SP, and then I have The Morganville Vampires BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT FUCKING IN THE LIBRARY SO I HAVE TO BUY THEM ALL SLOWLY ONE BY ONE and we have Harry Potter because Christmas (even though I didn't want them. -_- Nothing against HP, I just have better things to buy) and we have The Saga of Darren Shan because my mum got them from a charity shop and loads of other little random books, but I got/get most of my reading from the library first and so don't own things like The Mortal Instruments and Chaos Walking. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: IKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIK. IK.
"YOU CAN'T BE SITTING HERE CRYING IN SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE." omg XD
But, yeah. *nods* General agreement, from this direction. :)
And, *nods again* Work.
I should REALLY do biology.
mbd again
and msd slightly maybe.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh. What I was MEANING to say after that was that the HERE part was amazing, but my mind sort of wandered off . . . :P
I can't really elaborate. What is there to elaborate on? It's not complex, it's simple, it's simply HERE, and that's it. :) :)
But you know . . . I disagree with the sentiment in Chaos Walking that we should all be joined together. We cease to be individual people, then.
THE PHONE IS RINGING. THAT BETTER NOT BE FOR ME.
Yeah . . .
Where was I?
Ooh, it's not for me. Good. :)
Um . . .
I think we'd lose so much if we were just like, one big thing. It's like . . . in BRZK, they want to connect everybody up and share their minds, and the big question is "Freedom or happiness?" And I believe that if you go for happiness, you'll lose so much. I think that every positive equals a negative and vice versa . . . and if you get rid of a load of negatives, you get rid of a load of positives, and those are too valuable.
#ChaseForBookNine
I NEED TO DO GERMAN.
Thank you. :)
*distonates, hopefully*
And, thank youf ro earlier, about the frustration thing. *nods*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Fabi: *nods* *hugs*
@Star: I haven't been to the library in so long... But I haven't read very many books in so long, either.
(I just wrote a stupid rant about nothing and it was so irrelevant and useless, even for me, so I backspaced the whole huge thing. There was no need. :P)
But I like to have my own books because I like to come back to things for reference, like 'there's a thing that I vaguely recall happening in THIS book...' and I can go see that and it sometimes helps me and sometimes does not.
But libraries are good. Because they have books, and when you don't have money or whatnot, idk. My nearest library is not great, though. And the librarians there are kinda scary. :P
#ChaseForBook9
Ugh i csnt fucking stand my mother!!!! She has a hissy fit I'm sitting in my room, what does she want me to do!! I dont want to sit in the living room and watch tv so i go back to my room and so now she wants to 'clean' my room aka destroy it and blame me
"It's not complex, it's simple, it's simply HERE, and that's it."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
That's basically the whole thing in just YES.
@Star: On the +tive/-tive thing, I agree. BUt I also think that... idk. I don't think there's a better or a worse, there's just different. In the situation that they're in, I think the connections are better because it means that there's not HURT. I'd rather have the happiness part, because it's basically that or back to chaos and everybody just gets blown to pieces and torn and sadness and broken, and I love the idea of the connectedness in that, maybe there's not so much that freedom of being a separate thing, but you're a part of something huge, and that's ALWAYS the case anyway, except that you're kind of embracing it?
The sharing and the passing on and on so everybody sees everything and everybody chooses, and everybody is equal?
And they can still BE individual, I think, but they don't argue or stick things against each other, you still get opinions and thoughts and feelings but everything is shared and everything is... IDK.
Hm.
I'll think. Thanks for the think-food. :)
And sorry for keeping you. GERMAN. *points toward Star's Homework* *nods*
*huggles Zaffy* :/
I dislike that, too. :(
I don't like tidy room.
IT's just stuff around the place. IT's not dirty, it doesn't need 'CLEAN'ing. Idk.
*hugs, anyway*
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: *nods* I like doing that. And I just like OWNING them myself. :)
And I often write pointless rants. It's fine. :)
Libraries are amazing. It's a place you can easily access books and read them for free. O_O Little is better than that.
I just use my school library. :P All the books are for kids my age, and it's relaly easy to get to, and . . . it's just great. :) Most libraries have, like, one shelf for teenagers and I'm like errrr . . .
I mean, you have the 9-12 section which can be awesome (what is it called in a library? It's the 9-12 section in a book shop), and yeah, but . . . :P
@Zaf: :(
Sometimes people just take opportunities to take things out on people. At least you know, in your heart, that you're in the right and that you're way awesomer than that and stuffs. Idk, just thinking of myself as being floating way up in the clouds whilst those idiots are down on the ground just makes me smile, at school. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Taia: Thank you.
And - . . .
Thank YOU for the think food.
Idk, it's just . . . they are The Land. They're one. And stuffs. And I get the positives, and you pointed out a bit more to me (except sort of know, because I already knew those windows were there, but you dragged me over to them and shifted and screen and I was like OHHHH), but mehhh . . .
It's a complex thing to think about.
And I don't think there's any singular correct answer. :)
But being together, as a community . . . that's just magic. :) I could go on about my English descriptive writing or about an experience I had in a supermarket on Remembrance Day once, but meh, it would take too long to type out, but my point is, being together as a community is magic. And you know when you just want people to UNDERSTAND? I've ranted about that previously, also. When you just want them to get it so much and they don't and arghhhh frustration beacsue they just don't GET it. I think it would be beautiful, to have people understand. :)
But still.
#ChaseForBookNine
Star--Check your email.
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah i'm staying calm but imma flip she needn't always rip my room apart when Christmas and my birthday come around
*nods*
I get that. And I agree but I also agree with other things, I think. It's hard to...
And I- yeah.
BUt I think that-
I don't know.
But I like what you just said, there. I just don't know how to say that right. Kind of.
We're doing politics in Welsh Bacc, atm, and one of my friends is very opinionated in it all, and she's got all this on immigration policies and economy and sort ourselves out before we go out to fix other countries, there's so much that she thinks and says and I just don't GET it because to me, none of it does anything that's really helping. Because, I think, I don't think on a scale of 'our country' I think on a world scale, I think on a HUMAN scale, and I don't understand why it's any better to have people from other countries with employment in our country than it is to kick every non-British person out of the country and have only people FROM out country employed IN our country. Because we're ALL people, y'know? Why the Hell does it matter where you come from? Everybody should have the same right to the same work, in my opinion, and I don't understand why the whole planet can't just SHARE.
Like, why is it any better to have a tonne of British unemployed or poorly employed than it is to have a tonne of unemployed or poorly employed people who are NOT British?
We're all just people.
I don't get it.
And I'm trying to explain, and she won't even TRY to get what I'm trying to say and it's fuihybtrn;ohn and frustration like you said, and, yeah.
And then after, I was walking to the bus or on the bus or something, and thinking, 'Is that beautiful? How is that beautiful? And I thought about how there's all these different things and particulars and perspectives and answers to the same things, and how do you ever pick one? And it's scary. But, idk. In itself, I think that frustration because they just don't get it is kind of a beautiful thing, in it's own right, because even though each view is SO, SO different, they're both so CLOSELY held, they're so near the same thing, y'know? And even though it's maddening and terrifying and sickening, it's also sort of beautiful.
To me.
I don't know.

@Fabi: YouTube is playing through a list of my previously 'liked' videos, and it just got to one that... I'm pretty sure you posted it here once, which is where I saw it in the first place - Crazy Snail 2: Ain't More Thing To Climb.
*smiles* I still think the same of it. IT's a sad/happy kind of sweet. :)
Jus' letting you know, because it's real, and it's here, and that's because of you. Thanks. :)

@Taia: And THAT is radifying. :) And I was saying a load about not knowing the other day, and how we don't know, and we don't know what we don't know, and we don't know how to know, or even that we should know, although we do, but we don't know what we need to know, and DO we need to know? Maybe it's better know to know. I don't know.
And we all float around in this fog of not knowing, but maybe it's the fog that makes the scene beautiful.
And, thank you. :)
And, bye. :)
@Zaf: Um. Because otherwise you just end up with a load of pointless junk when you could have much more space and therefore feel much better and stuffs. :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ICELAND. D: DOON'T THEY GET EXPLODED ENOUGH WITH ALL THE VOLCANOS?
I've been so ANGRY these past few days . . . like, practically whenever anybody says anything I'm just thinking SHUT THE FUCK UP and everything's just irritating me and it's just like what. -_-
I know listening to angry music is sort of ASKING to be angry, but heh. XD I'll try and not be angry. *thinks of calm things like . . . * *can think of how every calm thing I try and think of isn't calm* *facepalm*
This is just me analysing, btw. Feel free to ignore. :)

See I explode people too

@Star: *huggles* Thanks for that last comment. I don't have anything to say but the thanking and just yes. Sort of radifying, and also just yes.
*nods*
I love that. That fog.

Ravel: Zafira dear...
*smiles* yes?

*kisses*
Ravel: *kisses back* Ah
@Star: *hugs* I think that is why, when I get into spaces like that, That's kind of why TFCGofNA/Farewell Continental helps me. Because it's kind of angry and calm and real.
It's not really pretty, but it's real, and where there are screams and kind of yowls and roars and all the noise there are places where it's totally un-pretty but it's real and it fits and it's familiar, and it's frustration and everything but it's also calm and it just gets... right.
Idk.
I've written paragraphs and paragraphs and paragraphs trying to get the words right on that. I've done it better, I think.
But it's a personal thing, I guess, and so where that's good for me, it might be not so for you or another person, but my point is that there's something, and whatever you're in there'll be a way out, and you'll find it/them and learn and everything is fine.
There are just things that are different and I realise them and that sharp, bite and the frustration kind of seems not so muchly.
Um.
Also, I listen to a lot of calm music, as much as the kind of opposite. Things can be calm but also so full of twist-y turn-y complex-y stuff too. It's... idk. Sometimes I have to kind of detox, and there are ways of doing that that I just kinda find for me along the ways.
But angry is much as a feeling as other feelings are, and it has it's worth, but, idk. I don't think these things through fully, kind of. THey just fit for me.
Sorry for the paragraphs. :P
#ChaseForBook9
Holy mother that's long
It then makes me wonder
How do you and Star do it? :P
My irl friends say jepic and ace and make ieni puns and I'm trying to show how much I talk about you guys.
I'm just here to say how great you all are and what a good influence you've been on my life, and you should all appreciate more what awesome people you all are. I hope you know you're all perfect in your own ways and I love you all! Have a wonderful day/evening (depending on time zone) *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
(I'm not sticking around, btw, this place doesn't make me feel great like it used to, sorry)
#ChaseForBook9
IENI!!!!!! *tackles*
Ieni bby! *huggles* Thank you, that really means a lot. And I'm sorry you don't feel at home here anymore :/ but we still love you lots hun
[hugs Ieni]
Did I send you the pic of the Ninja Aeroplane cookie? (If you're still here)
#ChaseForBook9
@Star: Thank you! Hemingwayyyy! :)
Hm. I like this playlist of previous 'likes'. It's good to just hear things with such little control of them, sometimes. It's good to hear things that I like without typing them in and having to think of them. They're just there... :)
@Adra: Oh god, sorry. xD
I just write words but I don't know the words properly to fit the things so I have to keep writing writing writing them until something gets it okayly for me.
I have no idea whether or not they're any sense to anybody else. I hope that they are, but I just like to get words out. I'm doing it now and- sorry something totally ridiculous came up on this playlist and I just completely lost everything- and yeah.
But, idk.
Stuff. :P
You can totally tell me to shut up if you want to. I'll not take offence. :)
OR I could rant more and more and yeah.
(Also, I think I feel OK to do that here, kind of. Like it's just... ok. Somehow. You guys are just so awesome and I'm kind of just okay with it. *nods* It's your fault, basically. :P
No. But, um. YEah. Still.
I don't remember what I was talking about.
*hugs, hoping that'll close it okay.* :P
#ChaseForBook9
*is silently by the explosive tree forest* I wonder if this is useful....:/
@Adra: What do you mean? :P
The longness of longness?
You just kind of type, and then you're typing, and you just say something and you're attempting to say it and then you just try and capture it in words, and then often you just remember/realised/something another thing and then you have to say that, and . . . idk. How do you explain talkactiveness? :P
One of the reasons I love the internet, though, is because you can say all that, and you can say it all out and go fully through your thoughts without being interrupted or having that realisation that nobody's listening to you and it's all rather pointless. :)
And also, I think as I speak, and whilst I'm typing this I'm also thinking it, so when I want to think I just start saying it or typing it, and then I sort of realise what I'm thinking out loud/through typing, and then I sort of try and work it out and sum it up, except I don't do it in my head, I do it whilst I'm saying it. And then you're just thinking, you know? Like, someone asks you a question, and you think of the possible answers, and sometimes you don't quite know so you're just thinking thorugh the answers and explaining how it feels and then hoping the why comes in the explanation, except whislt you're thinking it's all coming out in the keyboard, and then you're not even thinking about saying it, you're just hearing yourself speak in your head and thinking about it in your head and wondering and pondering and analysing, except you're sort of using the typing as a crutch to help you do that, so then it's all being typed, and you just sort of post it afterwards because you think it's a bit of a waste to just delete all this thought and realisation. :P
@Taia: *hugs* :) That's beautiful. :) Like, the whole thing. The thoughts, kind of. I should look up Farwell Continental sometime. But um, it might not happen anytime soon. :/ Nothing personal.
And thank you. :) I SHALL FIND WHAT WORKS. BUT FIRST, I NEED TO BECOME A THING THAT WORKS MYSELF, AND WORK! *gets back to homework*
#ChaseForBookNine
"I just write words but I don't know the words properly to fit the things so I have to keep writing writing writing them until something gets it okayly for me."
YES! *nods* Is that radeniting? I think so. I might have forgotten the definition of radeniting but I don't THINK I did . . . :P That's exactly it. :)
IENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! :) *hugs* I still love you. :) Sorry we no longer meet your expectations. Blame yellow shower curtains for eating soulness. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
You know, I don't think it would be right to say that the reason people feel displaced here would be for one reason. I know there are multiple
-The roleplay
-Derek doesn't come on anymore
-People are simply growing.
I think a lot of people forget that nowadays. Sure, one might have come to the blog a year ago, but a lot can happen in a year- so many experiences and things happen outside the internet that can change your emotions, and one might crave for something more than what the Blog has to give.
Which isn't to say that the Blog isn't perfect. It still is. It's a community of social butterflies, but what it provides is only so much to one's needs.
For example, in the course if a year, my writing topics have gone from mages traversing the world to science fiction to historical fiction to John Greene-risqué stories.
Living is a lot like writing. With every new page, something new arises that can change your perception entirely and, by the end of the book, you're an entirely new person.
So yeah... A lot of people forget that.
The Blog is amorphous- it molds itself, but it has touched all of our lives in a profound way and there have been many happy times, but eventually it just might not be enough, and one must go on another journey.
So there.
I said it. Finally.
It's okay Star and Taia. I love it. And just did it myself :P
IIIIEEEEENNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! *tacklehuggles/is ninjaeroplanetacklehugged/hugs back*
I'm sorry you don't feel up for sticking around, but you rule, and I hope you remember it.
You're perfect, and thank you thank you thank you, and I hope the world takes you with great pleasure. *hugs* You deserve the wonders. :)
And now the playlist's got the Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, but the variation that was recorded for 'Friends', so it's not Yoshimi, it's Phoebe.
Wayne Coyne's voice. Even with the clips of Phoebe yelling between them. idek. :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: Assuming I'm remember the definition correctly, that was also radeniting. :) Except, Derek never really came on before.
You know, about a year ago, loads of the Bloglandians who were regular when I was new didn't come here much anymore because it had changed. And now it's changed again. And it has doubtless been different before I was here. But the thing that was stunning me a year ago was - even though Blogland had changed, it was still awesome, and although loads of awesome people had left, it was still filled with awesome people.
Blogland isn't the same as it was a year ago. But it's still awesome.
Positive equals negative, and we're lost many of the positives, but we've gained new positives, and lost and gained negatives alongside them. :) And we were awesome, used to be awesome, and are awesome.
So yes. :)
But Adra said it all really well. *nods*
#ChaseForBookNine
Guys, you're so perfect *hugs*
I just want you to know, the reason I don't come on anymore,isn't because of you guys, it is because of the stress when I did. In the end the situation with my parents just kind of got too much and yeah...
I was always going to leave, it's just things finally got better and school and I found the strength and
Yeah, it's really not you guys - I love you all.
/I really want to reply to all your stuff but my mum is calling me and ugh but I read them all and you guys are so amazing/
Bye!
#ChaseForBook9
And I dedicate one of my undedicated pages to Blogland and its awesomeness!
*laughs*
#ChaseForBookNine
[hugs Ieni] Byee
#ChaseForBook9
SUDDEN QUICK BRB.
#ChaseForBook9
*Cuddles Ieni* real life first. We'll still be here.
Like I said, Star. Blogland's amorphous, like water. Always changing it's shape, always moving. I mean, people always think that change is bad. Not always. It's a balance
okay taia
*huggles Ieni*
*hugs Ieni* It's cool. :) We love you, and whether you love us or not, we still love you, and we love the fact that you love us (RECIPROCATION), and it's basically love and happiness and yeah. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I definetley miss the times Derek came on, I felt like it was special! I mean he was on longer and it was less people so he could chat with you more, now he goes on Twitter and yeah its direct replies but...it isn't that special feelings, when he came the day he posted the Tanith cover I felt that feeling of omg he came! And Christmas Eve....that was something. My niece and nephew he didn't even know them or speak to them he still said hi. But yeah a lot changes in a year....a hell lot
*Does a quick step dance*
@Adra: *its
YOU'RE AS BAD AS MY ADVENT CALENDAR.
Christmas is on it's way. *snorts*
My advert calendar is just so stupid. "Christmas is on it's way!" Well, NEVER!
"Be sure not to tell anyone what their present is!"
Well, DUH!
"Want to build a snowman?"
No, and there's no SNOW, is there?
"Make sure to help decorate the Christmas tree!"
ARGHH.
I just wake up and yell at it every morning. It's as annoying as the leaking shower in the school changing rooms (which are also the sports centre changing rooms and open to the public) and THAT DAMN SHOWER just leaks and leaks, it doesn't drip, water POURS, and the whole floor is wet, and IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR OVER A FUCKING YEAR.
WHAT KIND OF POOR MAINTENANCE IS THAT?????????
I used to yell at it every time I got changed in there, but as the year-mark approached, I just couldn't be bothered on wasting that emotion anymore. -_- Now I just grimly look for a spot that isn't wet.
. . .
I mean, I could just get changed in a cubicle (which are ALWAYS full), or the area by the toilets (I used to get changed there! WAAAAAAAAAY too full though. Other people have taken the spot) or the main changing room (but you have to go in the middle of the room beacsue no space and people trip over your stuff.)
In the other changing rooms, we're even MORE squished. A load of us used to squish in the shower room, but now they have the table tennis tables (new, I think) in there, and they're like "GIRLS, YOU CAN'T CHANGE THERE ANYMORE!" like it's all our fault that we have to be cramped into the main changing area which was ALREADY way too cramped.
There are over 160 girls in our year group. -_-
Um . . . yeah. Where was I? :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: Oh. I mean to agree with you after I finished ranting aboutm my advent calendar, but one thing kind of lead to another and I forgot . . . :P
Anyway. I agree. C:
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: Also, *points to Star's explanation because it's yessing. Radifying and radeniting and... Things. :)*
@Star: *hugs back* :) Hey, thank you. :) And, yeah. :) Work.
*flicks textbook back open* That, too.
@Adra:
"Living is a lot like writing. With every new page, something new arises that can change your perception entirely and, by the end of the book, you're an entirely new person." I'm holding onto that one, I think. If you don't mind.
Change and balance and perfect.
And- *goes to find a definition for 'amorphous'*- yes. Yes.
That same shape-changing, not bad but just different, alternating, growning, changing, greatness, that I think of so much, and I like that.
You're definitely better at fitting the right words than I am, I think.
@IeniIeniIeni:
" things finally got better "
*hugs hugs hugs* I'm so glad for that.
You're perfect, Ieni, and I'm so glad that you're happy and doing well, and the finding and good and betterment and I'm happy to hear it.
And the love and the happy and the big amazing... You're awesome, and good luck, and- and- and- yes.
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah...
Thank you Taia, ofc you can keep that
We have a lot of kids but we dont change that cramped if we did it'd be impossible so we have at least 70 girls and yeah its hectic some change in the stalls some change by the showers and others change by the lockers but its the sports girls that always break rules in PE they think that since they play a sport they have the rights when i reality they dont
[Sips tea and frowns slightly in boredom]
[Has a sudden desire to make someone's life miserable]
[First he orders etiquette books for his less polite enemies (Ms. Double/Devastine, Ms. Herald and several others who are irrelevant to the current plot)]
[Perhaps they will learn how to properly beg for mercy. They will need that knowledge]
#ChaseForBook9
@Zaf: WE HAVE 160. D:
We have two rooms/one big room as well as the shower areas, though. :)
We don't really have rules. :P So we're good. :)
AND WE DON'T FUCKING HAVE LOCKERS SO WE HAEV TO CARRY OUR BOOKS AROUND ALL DAY AND KILL OUR SHOULDERS. SOME DAYS, MY FRIEND'S CARRYING ROUND A TRUMPET (although she drops that at the music cupboard before school), A BAG WITH CLOTHES IN TO TAKE TO HER DAD'S, A MASSIVE PLASTIC PRODUCT DESIGN FOLDER, HER PE BAG, AND HER ORINDARY SCHOOL BAG, WITH LIKE TEN BOOKS IN IT, AND IT'S JUST LIKE DO THEY WANT TO KILL US?
@Taia: Yes. :)
I say a load of stuff and you and Adra just say a load of better tsuff better and I'm like mehhhh. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
*Ioux
#ChaseForBook9
@Star: Omgg I'm just grinning and laughing and XD
But, did you just relate Adra to a leaking shower? xP
Ooh. But it reminds me of "the leaky sink of sentiment" and I love that line so much and idek why. A leaky sink is SO annoying but somehow that's kind of reversed and it's perfect and I don't know. It's like it's all this annoying awful but it's still perfect because it's leaking but it's leaking this goodness and, and, lyrics, y'know?
Also, your whole female population of year group can't get changed in the same room, at the same time, can they? o0
The showers in our sports centre changing room isn't even a separate room. It's all one little room. The only cubicles in there are two or three toilets. Which are ALWAYS occupied, somehow.
It's just one room, with these rails and benches dividing it into three, and a section of showers which DOES have a little section of wall in front, and the toilet-cubicles, and then seats and mirrors.
But we have multiple sports-groups in our year, at different times. SO there's never THAT many in there.
(though we share with another school, who, depending on time of the week, may take up a 1/3 of the room).
I'm uncertain why I'm saying this. But, whoo. :P
#ChaseForBook9
SHE ONLY HAS TWO SHOULDERS!
@LAntern: :) *watching roleplay* *laughs*
#ChaseForBookNkne
WHen we do Games, we have the whole female population of our year group getting changed at the same time, but like I said, a big room/two rooms (depending on whether we're at Riding or the sports centre) plus the small shower room and, in the sports centre, the little toilet area. :)
O_O You share with another school?? We'd have to walk miles to get to one, pretty sure. D: The changing rooms at Riding are right by the gym and attached onto the rest of Riding, and the sports centre ones are in the sports centre. Like, the open-to-the-public sports centre with the swimming pool and the rockclimbing wall and the gym and whatever else we have. The school just uses the changing rooms, the dance studio, the swimming pool, and the sports hall. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
We have lockers but then your locker is by your homeroom and all your classes are on the opposite side of the school so you carry all your books anyway. And run to your locker after last period to get to the bus on time
@Taia: Oh, and I sort of get what you mean. :) Sometimes it's really hard to explain why you like things but you just DO because it just sort of CLICKS. And it's hard to explain because it's partially what it is and partially in the context and partially other stuff and yeah. :)
#ChaseForBooknine
@Star: *laughs* But YOu say so many things better than I can that I don't even have words to describe it. xP
WE HAVE LOCKERS BUT THEY COST US. In both money and effort, and tbh I like to carry stuff around because it gives me something to do with my hands, rather than just having them confused and unhappy and not sure where to be. They like to carry things. :)
(Even if my back disagrees with the weight of my bag, somewhat. But mine is LIGHT compared to some of my friends'. They carry literally EVERYTHING with them, and it's like "Why the German Folder? We don't have that lesson today! Why the psychology folder/s, we don't have that 'til Wednesday! Why do you need BOTH of your sketchbooks? You only need one for your homework, surely? Leave the other in class, where you have a whole shelf to put it into! Argh!' :P)
#ChaseForBook9
@Zaf: Ah, okay. :)
We have almost 2000 students, not counting the sixth form college (who, um, have lockers). We're already cramped. WE HAVE NO ROOM FOR LOCKERS. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I NEARLY FORGOT
GUYS
I MADE ANOTHER NAMELESS CHAPTER ABOUT PRIYA IF YOU WANT TO READ IT
I SUGGEST YOU DO
IT'S QUITE GOOD :D
Mmm I wrote one too you know...i did read Priya's and my friend wrote a short story about Zavel but it has a LSODM spoiler and all
http://randomnthingsthatdomatter.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-white-dove.html?m=1
@Taia: *laughs* My friend use to just carry all her books around with her. :) And I know what you maen about the hands thing. It's just like, what do you do with them?
*looks at hands*
*frowns at the ink on my fingertips*
Hmm. Maybe lockers aren't as benefical as we presume. :)
@Taia; BUT I DON'T RELALY. :) OR MORE THAN OTHER PEOPLE. BUT THANKS.
#ChaseFOrBooknine
You did, Zaf??? :D yay!!!
Okay shhhh I have to be finishing annotations
@Adra: *points to German homework*
I will read it at some point. :)
I say this to all people about stories etc. when I'm busy. It's not personal. :)
@Zaf: Ditto what I said to Adra. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
The sixth formers get lockers? That sucks. We have lockers in almost every hall I got one with the seniors and all so me happy. It's BIIIG
@Zaf: But they're collegers and they don't have to wear uniform and have free periods and blah.
The sixth form is like the sports centre - connected to the school, but not part of it. :)
It's like we now don't have a headmistress as such, we have the Head of *name of organisation*, and within that we have the Head of School and Head of Sixth Form and Head of Sports Centre or whatever. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
But Slipknot Person goes to the sixth form, and so does Shaun from rockclimbing. :) When we see each other around we say hi. He used to go to the school last year and all the years before and that. :) It's cool.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: We have a smaller, Welsh-speak school 'round here, too.
Also, the primary school kiddies sometimes come by to use the pool in the sports centre. We'll be going to get a drink before German (sports centre has better vending machines :P) and they'll all be lined up outside being counted and waiting to go in to the building. :P
Our sport centre has pool and gym and sports hall and squash-courts(I think that's what those are, at least :P), and some bits upstairs like where I used to go years ago for karate classes with all the mirror-walls (which can be kinda disorientating and gets you all self-conscious, because you can see in the mirrors how dumb you look doing the aerobics stuff :P)
We also have an awful old gym at the old part of the school and it's not even HEATED and it's also an exam hall and you're trying to do your exam, and shivering (I mean, seriously. The external invigilators let us keep out COATS on, once, it was that cold. And in an exam, that's very not supposed to happen, at least here), and it smells of fifty years of people sweating into the floors. Most of my exams are in there. :P

[Contemplates various methods of making Ms. Herald miserable]
[Effie and the others annoy him, certainly, but not the same way Liz does]
[Even her name is horrid. Why abbreviate something like good, old-fashioned Elisabeth?]
[More to the point, though, Ioux is irritated about the fact that he has important information on her, and yet there appears to be nothing to do with it.]
[Ms. Herald has the brains about her to resist blackmail, and simply informing all her enemies and omitting the threatening bit would be first a waste of any power over her he might have, and second, boring.]
[He wonders if perhaps he should arrange an attempt on Ms. Fabienne's life (or so it must appear. Actually killing her would, again, deprive him of any power he might possibly have. Then again, she does have friends capable of bringing back the dead...)]
[Perhaps that will make Ms. Herald do as he asks]
[Of course, he doesn't have anything in particular that Ms. Herald would do any better than one of his other lackeys/blackmailees. He mainly wants revenge. He doesn't like it when people foil his schemes.]
#ChaseForBook9
Oh wow....we have college as separate totally you pay to go to college and it isnt within your school and we dont have uniforms in college and all like if i wanted i could go to college in any state but its cheaper to stay in state or go to the one college in New Jersey it's a Catholic college and my aunt was a nun and i have an alumni so i have better chances to get in and i go in at half price already for my aumt having been stationed there
Lockers are for all years, here. But they are far and few between, and split usually into house-groups. Year sevens get extras, right by the entrance. A HUGE block of them and it's like THAT'S NOT FAIR. :P
The sixth formers have more in the sixth form-y bit, too.
But ALL of them are not proper sized lockers. They're book-sized lockers. The most they'll take is some textbooks and a PE bag and/or a coat.
I like knowing sixth formers, too. I have my brother & some of his friends. And other people who I knew better last year, before they BECAME sixth formers. But yeah.
That said, I'll BE one next year. That's kinda scary.
#ChaseForBook9
@Zaf: Your college is our university. :) We have school, then college, then university.
You have to apply for a place at the college, but you don't have to pay. You have to pay for university, definitely. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi Mara
Our high school is actualy one floot and the science wing is upstairs connected to the old middle school which is 2 floors but it houses mostly 9th grade and the langage classes and we have a cafeteria there but its now half classroom and the other half is for detentions and so we use the other cafeteria in the high school though when the school was too crowded kids shared lockers and the cafeteria there was used as well and yeah we have the new and old gym classes are in both depending on the lesson we also have a new and old auditorium the new one is where drama and all stage performances happen the old is for the theatre classes and the very random meetings that happen
@Zaf: We have separate colleges, too. But sixth form here is an alternative, and it's more similar to what you do in main school than the college courses, in that it's more academically based than practically, I think.
Sixth formers don't have uniform, though. Though there may be dress code. Somebody came in wearing a penguin suit once. I never saw him again. :P
And then University after that, as a separate thing in its entirety, and we generally have to pay a LOT for those, I think.
#ChaseForBook9
HEY MARA! :)
@Taia: Then you'll be a sixth former I'll know! :)
If I was born less than a month earlier . . . but I like being in this year. :) I'm childish enough in this year, thanks. XD
Hmm. The more I think, the more I know. The more you know, the more places you'll go.
. . . Er, the more I think about it, the more I think we're fine without lockers. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Sixth form is like high school. And i'm freaked in 2 years il be a senior and omg...drama canp ill be an MC for the cabert omg omg omg omg and then in the production they'll mention us on Sunday *cries*
*points to what Star said* which explains it better. :P
Hey MARAMARA hey MARAMARA heY! *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Mara!!
OMG I just made the best Tumblr post
((Gtg bye))
#ChaseForBook9
AW FUCK IT.
@Zaf: Yeah . . . you have middle school, which we don't (unless we live in Bedfordshire or somewhere), and we have sixth form/college which you don't. :)
And university may be expensive, but as the school keeps positively informing us, the government will lend us all the money for it, and we only have to start paying once we're earning over *insert a forgotten amount of money here*, so potentially we'll never have to pay it off. :)
And my rockclimbing instructor thinks school is pointless anyway. Could rant on about that.
@Zaf: Yay! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
((BYE FABI *waves madly* *hugs*))
Basic explanation of lockers for me
Elementary k-4 we had one classroom all day we had the boys and girls closet all books were in your desk
Intermediate:5-7 LOCKERS but you were given specific times when you could go in grades 5 and 6 since it was new to us but in grade 7 we were allowed to pick when we could go and not as a class so yeah and we also were walked to classes but our teacher would let us go on our own halfway through the year
Middle school 8-9 (then became 7-8 and so i was there one year) lockers but you had it near your classes and didn't have set times to go and were not walked to class
9-12 lockers can be anywhere in the school you fogure out when you can go
((nvm i'm going
bye))
@Star: *laughs* :)
Yay! :)
@Zaf: Idk how it works over there. I hardly understand the here system, honestly. :P
Usually,I think, here we have primary school -> secondary/high school -> sixth form college / ordinary college -> University.
So I guess our 6thForm/college is like your seniors in high school, maybe?
I'm not sure.
We get qualifications in high school, and finish that and we're free to go. Or we go to sixth form /college. And then you can head off to Uni. *nods*
And, as Star's said, we get student loans for University fees, so you can pay it off over that huge space of time which might never be at all.
#ChaseForBook9
@Zaf: Okay. :) *nods*
Your system doesn't make sense or not make sense any more than ours does, but it's interesting. :)
We just have primary and secondary. XD Primary, stay in the same classroom all day. Secondary, classrooms all over the place. When you're in year seven, it's okay if you turn up to lessons really late coz you got lost. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
See in grades 5-8 you have team teaching so depending grade level you have say 4 teachers (6th grade) and so all your classes and lunche and recess and all was with your team you would see only those kids all day everyday and so you didn't interact with other teams and often kids were with the same kids all through the years with teams but in 9th grade you're thrown out into the school mixed in with all kids from everywhere no set team of teachers csn har any teacher who teaches the subject
Teaming is good in the grades when you are learning to switch classes but in grades 7 and 8 is when you shouldn't be teamed because its hard going from team to no team
*hugs Fabi* See you, Fabiulousness.
Bye, Mara! *huggles MAraMaraMaraMara*
@Adra: Yay! Awesome! :) I like tumblr. :3
#ChaseForBook9
:/ Bye Mara ily
Hmm weird
I'm scared of university, though. D: I get most of my experience from books, right? Well, I did mostly when I was younger. And the first Morganville Vampires book starts off with Claire being in university and so now I think of her when I think of university. I'm not scared of vampires eating me or anything. I'm just afraid of all my laundry being chucked in the trash or of being thrown down the stairs or of my room being broken into or of being terrified that other girls would actually, literally kill you so you have to phone up and try and rent a room because although your parents will kill you that doesn't matter because if you stay on campus, you'll die, and Claire just phoning up all these people and getting stressed and then just sitting on the pavement with this massive black eye crying because she just doesn't know what to do, and she can't go back on campus but she's too afraid to knock on the door (I get that) and she doesn't have anywhere else to go.
That's not vampires. That's just ordinary-world life.
:P
I'm not really scared. Just . . . anticipative.

@Zaf: It's very hard to go from being walked to school and sitting in the same classroom all day to getting the bus and having classes away from your friends different for every lesson in this huge school getting lost, but I believe it's good life experience. :) I think your school system is more transitioned. I believe that's both good and bad, as most things are. :)

And, okay. :)

@Zaf: Um. I don't know how to relate ours to the when you're allowed to walk to lessons and whatnot, because my (second) primary school was so small that that was literally impossible anyway. But I can go by age, roughly:
In primary school:
(infants, year one and two) Age 4-7
(juniors, Year 3 to year 6) age 7-11
Secondary school. (years 7 to 11) age 11-16
Sixth Form/college, years 12/13: Age 16-18
And then Uni will take adults at pretty much any age, I think.

Night Starry! *hugs*

LOL, Zaf. :P Okie.
@Star: I don't think I'm that scared of Uni, yet. I don't really know what I'm expecting, though.
I'm sure there'll be plenty of worries when I get there. I'll have my brother to ask, if he manages to get in, at least. :P
@Adra: How cold is it over thar?
Bye Star! *huggleS*
