The Button
This story- which I had intended to be REALLY REALLY short and funny and quirky- eventually became a little longer. And a lot less funny. But this is it.
And it will come down at midnight, Irish time, on the 22nd...

I tend to get distracted very easily...
lol you're not alone... xP
The best scene that day:
Me: stranger things have happened and do with alarming regularity,
Abby: what?
Me: stranger than you and me sitting on this bench. Though that is strange. I don't sit next to ordinary mortals very often. How do you sit, by the way?
Abby: what? Are you calling me ordinary?
Me: believe me, you are. How do mortals sit? Do they slouch, or sit straight? I'm trying to blend in
Abby leaves.
Yep I get distracted toO
Ooh, shiny!
*laughs*
That's cool.
I should do that and see how peopel react...
*people

Lol

I would've left right when a stranger comes and sits next to me on a bench
Oh.

I filmed my cat for two minutes.
I had a really odd dream. I dreamt I couldn't get to sleep. The voice in my head was screaming at me to just go to sleep, but I needed to do stuff, and I just couldn't get to sleep, and it was like three in the morning and getting light . . .
Thinking about it, I'm not surprised I had that dream. After all, I do wage a similar war with sleep most nights. Although, y'know, nearly every time I'm asleep well before 3 AM. Sleepovers can be exceptions.
HI IVY!
Looks like all that recruiting you've been doing is paying off. :) *points at large number of Washingtominions*
Macs are REALLY weird.
HI HELENA!
HEY INK! How're you?
Other than the fact I'm coughing loads, I'm fine. :)
Hey. I'm sewing everyone's names onto this piece of fabric. Which color thread do you want? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, black, white, gray, pink or purple?
I have to so extra last minute Xmas shopping, today D:
I'll just make sure I get to go to WHSmiths, that'll make it worth it. :3
SCÁTH!
*points at comment right before she came on* Pick a colour?
And, oh yeah, HI!
Do you have lime green?
*looks at green* . . . No, sorry. Light green. No lime green.
Light green is perfect, thank you very muchly.
RED!
gotta go shoppingggg!
*hugs everyone* I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE ALL BRILLIANT AND I LOVE YOU ALL:3
Thanks Luce. *clicks fingers in her direction* You too.
FOURS SCÁTH! :(
We all love you too! :)
*adds light green and red to mental List of Colours to Sew*
I must depart. Hope you feel better soon. Laterz Ink.
Good morning everyone, how are we??
:( FOURS HELENA!
Wait... I'm not leaving. I turned on the light and now I feel more energetic... Weird...
Hey Em! I'm feeling hot. It's 33 degrees here. I'm in Melbourne. *nods*
How are you? Are you really engaged?
HI EM!
Yeah I am lol
It was a belated birthday present Chase gave me yesterday...
I woke up this morning and went, wow it actually happened!
*squeals unnaturally* How did he propose? I always shipped you two...
HI AGAIN HELENA! :)
*copies and pastes question from above* Em. I'm sewing everyone's names onto this piece of fabric. Which color thread do you want? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, black, white, gray, pink or purple?
We had a walk down the pier. Talked out a few things that had been going on over the last few weeks.
Asked me to close my eyes, put the box in my hand. When I opened them again, there was the ring and him on one knee...
*bites palm excitedly* Did you say yes straight away? Or did you leave him wondering? What's the ring like? Pier? Like in SP near Stephanie's house? Is it weird that I still think of her as Stephanie a lot? Am I going off subject? *bites palm to shut up*
Um... put me down for a purple Star!
When I saw him on his knee, I went 'Get up you gobshite' and he said
'No can't get out of this one Brennan!'
I did say yes right away, it sounded out there somewhere through the tears lol
. . . Wow.
*grins*
When's the wedding?
We haven't picked any date...
We're not gonna rush head first into it.
Makes sense...
Can I come?
Lol of course
Already we have a long list of just blog guests and we haven't even looked through our family and friends lol
*laughs* Hopefully I'll be able to make it. All the Australian bloggers could put our money together and stay together.
Hopefully! lol
I still can't believe this is happening...
Does it feel magical?
A few years ago we took a Friday and a Monday off school to fly to Switzerland for a weekend so we could go to the wedding party of this person who my parents'd been friends with when we lived there. It was the first time we'd been on a plane since . . . Since over half a decade ago.
As a consequence, we didn't go abroad in the summer holidays. We went to Nothumbria and it was okay, but we were always in our jumpers the whole holuday, so . . .
Every year my mum says that the year we went to Northumbria we suffered from not having any proper sun that year.
So, my point is, people can go out of their way to attend weddings.
Not if you're fourteen and your parents don't know about you talking to strangers on the blog.
. . . Meh.
Sorry for ruining your logic. Well, not ruining... Your logic is still impeccable...
Well you never know, by the time we actually set a date, most of you could be 18 or older!
And it's beyond magical Hel!!!
That would be so cool if I was old enough to go. I'm mentally begging you to set the date after I turn 18...
*giggles* Magic.
I'm fourteen and my parents do know I talk to strangers on a blog, but I doubt they'd let me go . . . :(
Well as I said, we're not rushing into anything and we both have kiddies who are a bit young for a wedding at the moment.
And plus Chase has another few years of chemo and radio to go through as well.
No point having a wedding if he's just gonna be tired throughout the whole thing.
Hello? I had a very intersting nightmare last night. It was a cross between S.P and LOTR. I think Sauron had control of the Faceless Ones and you could hear the chaos and then this wise man in the village known as the ‘Golden God’ said that to prevent them coming here we had to stop them coming here by taking the ring somewhere, so Frodo and Ghastly went walkies and when I woke up I realise that I could still here the Faceless Ones making choas - it was the wind outside.
I'm 13, my parents don't know I talk to strangers, one of my brothers do though and my friends do and I'm waiting until I get to go to uni, before I go and stalk you all.
HI IENI!
Ieni - I'm sewing everyone's names onto this piece of fabric. Which color thread do you want? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, black, white, gray, pink or purple?
Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
Um, I dunno. Not pink, not white, not grey, not blue, not red.
That leaves me with orange, yellow, green and purple.
Decisions, decisions.
Not orange.
Not yellow.
Green or purple....hmmm....what shade of green purple is it...?
Er. *looks*
Light green. Not light purple, but not dark purple . . . Not pinky purple, but pinkier than some purples . . .
Sorry. I'm bad at describing stuff.
And now I have to go to the park. D:
Bbs.
Um....purple then?
Danke:)
Byebye *waves*
I think I scared everyone else off when I came on. Oops.
And now I have to go to the washing up D:
Byebye! *waves*
Wait, I'm waving to no one now. This entire freaking comment it to no one. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DX
I suggest waiting about... oh, I dunno... 4 years?
"At the top of the tallest building in the world... Sat the saddest man in the world; and inside the man was the loneliest heart in the world and inside the heart was the deepest pit in the world... And at the bottom of the pit was the blackest mud in the world... And in the mud lay the lightest, loveliest, tenderest, most beautiful, happy angel in the universe. So things weren't so bad, after all.
Apologies if this is massively late, I had to set up my bed.
Hello?
I CAN'T FEEL MY NOSE
its so file outside D:
cold*
SEE IT'S SO COLD I CAN'T TYPE!
It's frozen your brain as well Luce lol you think file is cold!
Slan leat a button
No, that's just autocorrect being a moron.
Come inside now I implore
Do you think you can restore
The crucial pieces missing from my brain?
What seems to be the matter dear?
Why do you cry and shake with fear?
I've only had the best dub me insane!
Perfect Insanity is actually such a sad song.
Hullo, Starrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *hugs*
HI SCÁTH! *hugs*
It's a good thing I have lots nore purple than I originally thought. :)
I am taking a risk and coming on. Good grief, I haven't been here in forever! But it's the holidays, so I thought...
Msd and might not respond right away.
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAV! *tacklehugs*
I'm sewing everyone's names onto this piece of fabric. Which color thread do you want? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, black, white, gray, pink or purple?
*gets tackled and laughs*
Hi Star! Um, I'd choose purple, but I'll go for pink this time. :)
Ieni invented ninjaeroplanetacklehugs, but I'm not entirely sure you can do then when neither the tacklehugger or the tacklehuggee is a ninja aeroplane . . .
Hi!
Sure? Coz I have lots of purple thread as well as lots of pink . . .
*glares murderously* And now I have to clean out my rabbit. I'LL BE AS SPEEDY AS POSSIBLE. SORRY.
Hi everyone!
Well, okay. I'll have purple. But if it turns out that you don't, give me pink. :)
I'll try to be here when you come back!
Hi Em! So happy to see you! How have you been?
Oh, and happy belated birthday. :) Sorry I missed it.
I've been doing really well Lav!
God haven't talked to you in ages...
*hugs*
How have you been??
*hugs back*
I know, I'm actually taking a risk coming on now, but it's worth it.
I'm doing fine. Survived the end of the world and all. ;) oh, and trying to get the Christmas cards done by Christmas. Only two days from now! :D
Wbd.
Playing the Hobbit!:3
God, I love this game!
I know... I just have to do all my wrapping now but other than that, I'm exhausted!
Did you hear the news??
Hi L! Didn't know it was a game. Heard the movie was awesome though.
What news, Em?
*there, not it. I knew there was a movie and a book before.
It's been a game for around a decade.
But I love games like this, still:3
Also, hello Lavender!
The movie was so so so so so AMAZEBALLS!!!
Me and Chase are engaged.
Oh. Haha. I don't pay attention to video games much. Guess that's why I didn't know. :P
Oh my gosh! Congrats Em!
*hugs her while jumping and squealing*
Wow!!! :D
Have you planned the date of the wedding yet? When did he ask?
He asked yesterday...
No date at all yet, there is still so much to do and sort out before any wedding plans!
Oh, and my friend's brothers saw that movie while she and I watched Les Miserables. That was a good movie too. Of course, since I love musicals I'd say that, but the actors were great! So glad they didn't mess up!
Wow! That's so recent! Of course I understand that you need time to prepare and all, you just got engaged yesterday!
I'm so happy for you, Em! I would squeal in real life, but it's 10:15 pm here, and some are trying to sleep. ;P but really, YAY!!!! :D
Someone remind me to e-mail Lynxia later.
I miss her dearly.
And I should e-mail Zath...
And probably everyone else.
Remind me to send everyone e-mails later, please?
I'm really forgetful, recently... I'm not sure it helps that I banged my head on my bed just the other day...
Here for a bit. We're watching a movie soon. Voting and coin-tossing have decreed that this movie shall be The King And I. Apparently, I'm allowed to sew whilst watching it. :)
Sorry guys! Gotta go! Bye!
Oh wait. I can stay a little longer, but I should be going to bed soon anyway. It's getting late.
I love The King And I!
oh, that's the other thing I planned on buying! Stardust!
I'm going on a spending spree after Christmas. I've currently got a huge list of Sherlock, Skulduggery and Hunger Games things I wish to buy, along with a couple of DVDs (Stardust, Memoirs of a Geisha...)
Hi Star! The animated one, or live action version? I've only seen the animated one. It's pretty good. :)
I still haven't finished stardust yet! I need too! It was getting good!
I've watched Stardust!!!
We haven't watched The King And I in ages. :(
*laughs* Seeing as you mentioned Lynxia and Zath, I've betted myself my last Mento that Lynxia and Zath both say black. If they both do, I get to eat my Mento. If they don't, my Mento goes in the bin.
Why do I do this . . . ?
Gtg, movie's on!
Bye Star!
Okay, almost 10:30. Now I gotta sleep. Night, whoever's still around!
Bye, Star! *hugs*
Bye, Lavender! Sleep well! *hugs*
So quiet. ._.
*sighs*
I guess I'll be off, then...
Bye...
hey...anyone there?
I am here!!
hey!
sorry if Im not talking much Im wrapping chrimble pressents :D
Gizmo is eating the tree...
Oh god...
*laughs*
The live action version, but it practically looks animated; it's an old video and hasn't been made for morden large TV screens, ETCETERA, ETCETERA!
*laughs* At the end of the movie my mum started rewinding it (remember it's an old video which when rewinded shows everything going backwards) and said, "Look! He's alive again!"
Hellos?
hellos!
HI IENI! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
*stares thoughtfully at capital I at the beginning of 'Ieni'* I wonder how I'll fancyify that? I tried to do a fancy I on the Inkbright and it, uh, failed . . .
HI MELICA!
Fancy Ms, however, are relatively easy. *is just doing second fancy M*
Falling's just like flying, except there's a more permanent destination.
*laughs* HI SCÁTH!
I have a way to do a fancy L all planned out. Yusssssss.
Hello anyone that appeared!
Msd and wbd. Watching Reichenbach.
This episode, omg D;
This sewing is taking MUCH longer than I thought. *scowls*
Sorry I disappeared - a certain Dr.Who episode distracted me...
Clover - that episode is so depressing DX It's like :O
Star- it's an I surely you can just do a straight line...?
Msd.
I CAN do a straight line . . . *looks at the Inkbright* . . . but everyone else has fancy first letters!
Still. If I do a fancy L and an S for the Lorartè-Strider, that will, I think, make up for it.
Well, this is just upsetting. I was in a plane over the 21st and 22nd and thus unable to get to a computer. Stupid air travel getting in the way.
Flora, I have the story copied and pasted into my Notes - do you want me to paste it here so you can read it?
I've got it too, somewhere...
me too...master Derek cant take that away from us...
Mwahaha :-) :-p
:-D
we are all to clever for him...thinking he can take down the story...well we still have it...
GUUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I moustache you a question. And I can't shave it for later, so...
DO YOU THINK I SHOULD MAKE A SCRAP BOOK OF SKUTTLEBUGGY THINGS?
Yep. I copied it to email to my sis.
Zath e-mailed it to me. xD
You mustache us a question? ;s)
Haha, same. I saved it too:D
It's the 23rd. It's there's-a-good-film on night. Last year it was Ice Age something, year before Shrek, year before Kung-Fu-Panda and now I think it can be Night at the Museum *nods*
Yes! That sounds good, Clover:) What would it be like...?
. . . Well, whyrazor not?
Totally
I also have the story saved on my computer ..... it's never getting away!
Blogspeaks & messages from Derek.
I need those somewhere... Though, I may make a seperate scrapbook for those. :3
I need somewhere to put all my letters and things from Skuttlebugs, so I thought "Hey, why don't I make a scrapbook or something?" and if I ever get to go to a signing pictures of me with Skuttlebugs and stuff! And maybe a picture of what my collection was at the beginning of this year and what it is now? I'm not sure!
But I have plenty of ideas! :3
Awesome congrats
. . . Do it. *nods*
does anyone want to do the ded for me?
So a scrapbook of messages from the Golden God, a scrapbook of my deds (because, I have to admit, some of them are actually not so bad and have made me smile before) and a scrapbook of Skuttlebugs. :3
SO EVERY LETTER I GET CAN GO IN IT
AND CHRISTMAS AND BIRTHDAY CARDS
Oh my golden god, that'll be a big book! :D
*looks at ded rights lying on ground* *hides*
Hey Guys!!!
