A New Post

"Write a new blog post," they say. Like it's that easy. Like it's that simple.

And what if I have nothing to talk about? What if there is nothing I WANT to talk about? Don't I get a say in any of this? Doesn't my opinion MATTER?

And of course the Twitter people are nudging me. Every. Single. Day. I can't escape them. They're getting into my head.

They're in my DREAMS...

I'm all achey. I've had a long day and I'm tired. All I want to do is go to bed- and yet going to bed before 2 AM always seems like a waste of time. Like there's something I could be doing, some work I could be getting done...

33,000 words done on Book 8, by the way.

This time last year (January 6th) I started KOTW. I had been hideously delayed because of work to the house I'd been having done, and the deadline was fast approaching. So this year, having 33,000 words done by this stage is something of a relief. I am, of course, assuming that I can continue writing at the same rate. So, er, hopefully I can.

Wrote a cool scene yesterday. It involves Fletcher. It involves blood. It involves AWESOMENESS.

Yes, and part of the Tenth's, too.

I'm in a store that sells broken glass... Cool.

Sir said...

Never underestimate the uses of broken glass.

Anonymous said...

Right, Val, because that's perfectly normal.

Kilandra Xyle said...

Oh, HI Robin! Umm, I'm Kilandra, you can call me Andra if you want. My discipline is that I can conjure up any type of weapon at any time. (though if i'm paniced i usually get a bannana). I have a flying Panda named Oreo and always seem to get in a fight with Jubi. And I know Kessie irl

Greeting, Sir. *grins*

Robin Snowscar said...

Hi R,

I love Lynxx.

Hello Sir.

YOU START THE FIGHTS KILANDRA!

xP

lol

Sir said...

Greetings, Kilandra, Robin, Kestrel, and Valkyrie.

Kilandra Xyle said...

Would you like me to start another?

Robin Snowscar said...

Okay cool, hi Andra, you can call me Robin and my powers are basically whatever I feel like they should be because I separate myself from my OC of Robin. As for the panda thing that is awesome and so are you ;D

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

HI SIR!

Nixion Strange said...

I consider Lynxia to be among my best of friends

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

VAL REMEMBER ROBBIE'S SONG ABOUT BROKEN GLASS?


And was she blonde?

Anonymous said...

Andra, please don't...

Sir said...

Hello, Jubilance.

Lavender Hope said...

*skimmed a few comments on last page*
Kes, that was the best dedication I have heard in a while. That's also another reason I chose Hope as my surname.

Nix and Flame, I'm sorry to hear about your uncles. And Nix, remember when Mist's grandfather(I think it was) passed? He wasn't allowed out of school to go to the funeral either.

It's not fair! Teachers get to skip school to go to funerals. They just have subs. But it's really unfair to you.

Oh, and hi.

Anonymous said...

Hi Lav! Thanks.

Yo Lavender long time no see

Hello, Duck!

HI DUCK!!

Duck said...

What's being happening
(I'm not bothered to read all the comments)

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Nix, am I one of your best friends?

(Just out of curiosity and be honest)

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Robin. Yeah, it has been a while.

Hi Nix!

Hi Kes. You're welcome. :)

Hi Duck!

Hi everyone else who's here!

Duck said...

Nix, am I one of your best friends?

(Just out of curiosity and be honest)

Robin Snowscar said...

*narrows eyes*

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Random Fire Hand, are you Sath?

Duck said...

*narrows eyes even more*

Duck said...

No idea who Sath is

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Flame!

Flame: You, Nix, Lynxia, Robin, Star, Eve, Mist, and Sparky are all considered my best of friends. Mostly because of all we've been through together. And as Mist calls us, we're the 'old gang'. :)

Anonymous said...

Sath? *is confused*

Robin and Duck, why are you narrowing your eyes?

Duck said...

What about ME?

Robin Snowscar said...

*agrees with Lavender* And Val V

Robin Snowscar said...

*looks at Kestrel innocently* It's nothing

Sir said...

Well then, I have no idea who Sath is either, but it could have possibly been a typo of Scath.

But what do I know?

Anonymous said...

Duck, none of us knows you, really...

Lavender Hope said...

Oh! Is that where I recognize the profile pic?
(I haven't met Sath, but I've seen that pic on the blog before.)

Anonymous said...

Sir, a considerable amount, if that was not posed as a rhetorical question.

Lavender Hope said...

Oops. Yeah. Sorry, Val! Course you're part of the old gang!

Nixion Strange said...

Okay, I dedicate this to a few people only

Mist- I pretty much count you as my best friend. You've got tremendous talent, and you're an all around good person. If I can rely on anyone, it's you.
I'm insanely jealous of you're writing, and your ten times the person I'll ever be.

Lynxia- We may not have spoken in a while, and we've certainly had our ups and downs, but you're just too good a person to not want to spend time with. Everyone misses you, and we hope that you're doing alright, because we're not doing as well without you

Eve- You're always fun to talk with. We may not talk as often as we used to, or even spend as much time around each other as we used to, but you're still a great person, one of the greatest I know, and you should really start seeing yourself that way.

Duck said...

Has someone has this pic already?
I'm OUTRAGED!
I'LL CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELY

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Sarth*

Are you Sarth?

Robin Snowscar said...

I haven't spoken to Eve in forever. Lynxx either.

Anonymous said...

Who's Sarth?

Great ded, Nix!

Nixion Strange said...

Flame, of course you're one of my best friends
Setting aside your insane writing skills, you're a great person.
Believe it or not, when I was new here, I used to actually kinda look up to you

Anonymous said...

I talked to Eve yesterday, I think...

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Lynx's just caught up in school work.

That's why she hasn't been on.

Sir said...

I have indeed seen Eve recently as well.

Anonymous said...

I have to go now, dinner! Bye!

Nixion Strange said...

I thought she said that her laptop had broken?

Lavender Hope said...

Nice ded, Nix. :)

Lynxia was on before(though I know you knew that) and talking to her(just saying hi) made me feel like my old self again. I haven't felt that way since I left in July.

Robin Snowscar said...

I always seem to miss her *smiles sadly*

Flame's been her forever xD

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

bye kessiee

Robin Snowscar said...

I think we need to arrange a date like a week where all the oldies should just come one and party.

Lavender Hope said...

Bye Kes!

Gosh, I'm slow today...

Robin Snowscar said...

Bye whoever's leaving ^^

Alastair Cruciatus said...

GUYS the "old gang" should be in a fanfic together! You could all be in a group fighting together, like the Dead Men, or something like that! (rattles off ideas because I'm bored. Feel no need to pay attention) Oh and also I'm back! (states obvious facts)

Sir said...

Ah, nostalgia. Still, I find it better to live in the present.

Nixion Strange said...

Who counts as an oldie?
Anyone who's been here a year?

Oh darn, I almost forgot I've almost been here a year. I'm going to have to check the date to be sure of when

Robin Snowscar said...

We have got fanfics together, several actually.

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah, Robin! We totally should!

Including older Bloglandians like Kal, Octa, HB, and some other chations(is that how Star spelled it?) who were here before.

Robin Snowscar said...

Seems fair Nix.

Sir said...

Yes, the creative juices of many here have already covered that topic.

Robin Snowscar said...

Yeah, have to be careful though, some of them don't get on so much anymore.

Just so I remember.

Drew O'Connor said...

Um... everyone...

I'm sorry to just barge in and say this and there is no easy way to say it...
But Chase's heart has stopped and the doctors are trying to resuscitate him right now...

I'm sorry if that's really heavy and that but I know that he would want you all to know what's going on...

I'm sorry again...
They are still trying and um... yeah I'll keep you updated...

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah, mostly Mist and Lyxia write them though. And Sparky, a bit.

Speaking of Sparky, I made a poem about her just last night. You guys want to read?

(It's more like a cheer than a poem, but I'm calling it that)

Robin Snowscar said...

Oh Em! Are you okay? *hugs*

Robin Snowscar said...

Okay Lavender!

Lavender Hope said...

*is too shocked for words*

Drew O'Connor said...

I dunno whether I'm coming or going Rob...

I just want him to stay a bit longer...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Oh my god. Emerals, I'm so so sorry. I- well. I know there really aren't any words I can give you. But for what it's worth...There are people who live and care about you. I know I'm one of them. Just... Please don't give up.

Lavender Hope said...

*thinking over and over in my head for Chase to be alright*

He can't just die!!! Please don't die Chase! Please!

Robin Snowscar said...

*nods* Emerald, we're here for you okay. *hugs and hands hot chocolate*

Candles were always a symbol of hope for me. *shrugs*

Drew O'Connor said...

he's still not responding...

Lavender Hope said...

I'm praying for him now. Praying so hard...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I'm also praying.

Unknown said...

I'm so sorry Emerald. That's terrible. I hope he responds, and I am so, so sorry.

Robin Snowscar said...

I'm not praying, for I do not believe in God. But I am hoping and that is close enough.

Robin Snowscar said...

Sev, hello.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

HII SEPH

Unknown said...

Hi guys.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Hey- praying is really just reaching out for what we believe in. Our own internal hope. So even if you don't believe in God, hoping is just as effective. It's essentially the same thing, at its core.

Duck is the best name EVER!
and Random Fire Hand take too long to type

Robin Snowscar said...

Breathe, Aretha.

I'd just shorten it to RFH. Not good?

Duck said...

RFH could stand for Rolling Feather House or something so just call me Duck

Unknown said...

Em, my mom says she hopes he responds.

I don't really know what to say, but just keep hoping. That's what I'm doing. And I'm so sorry.

Robin Snowscar said...

Unless you truly were a nitwit you'd understand that RFH stands for Random Fire Hand. However, I will call you Duck because it makes loads more sense. *most sarcastic voice ever*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Thanks, Robin. I'll try. I have this bad habit from dancing- sometimes I forget to breathe.

Breathe. You dance, Aretha?

Hey Kessie

Yeah, I dance. I was a ballerina for 11 years- I just stopped intense classes last year. I still take a class on the weekend, just for fun. Just two months ago I started ballroom dancing, and my first competition is next weekend.

I dedicate the page to our fallen friend, Chase. Although I have not known him as long as I have Em, he was still a good friend. We will dearly miss him, and although he is not with us physically, may his spirit live within us.

We will remember you for as long as we live, Chase. I am glad to have known you.

Em, I don't know if you'll read this or not, but I'm saying it anyway.



I know I don't know you or Chase very well. I mean, I've spoken to you both before, but not an incredible amount. But I swear, Em, that we are all sad beyond belief for you, and we all love you more than you know.
Right now I have a huge hollow feeling in my stomach. I know I hardly knew Chase, but he was always so nice when I spoke to him. And, to be honest, this is the first time I've gotten even close to losing someone. And it really hurts.
There's really nothing I can say. I'm awful at making people feel better. But Em, I am so, so sorry for your loss.

Please keep in mind that we all love you, and I'll be praying for you and Chase.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I just- no. Chase.... I'm going to shut up now because there really aren't words. But Emerald- I know I'm a stranger, but I'm a good listener. So if you want to talk to me, I'll always be here. I'll stay up all night if you want me to. Try to stay strong, ok? That's all I'll ask- just try.
