You may have noticed me being pretty quiet over the last week or so, and for this I have a very good reason. I am writing a book. I'm over 115,000 words in but DEAR LORD I'm at that stage when I don't know if it'll EVER be finished. I'm supposed to be filling in the blanks right now- linking up scenes and sequences and getting the chapters in order and writing any little bits that I've left empty. But I'm still no closer to the end. How can this BE?
But before I get back to work, I have been asked to remind you all that my event at the Stratford Picture House on April 5th is the only public event I'll be doing for The Maleficent Seven. For those of you who don't know what a public event IS, it's basically me on stage yapping and answering questions for an hour, and then we go on to have a signing. All other appearances for TMS are just signings.
I've been asked to remind you about this because apparently there are lots of tickets available. Well, I'm ASSUMING there are lots of tickets available. The words used were "it's been slow to book", which means roughly the same thing. Maybe it's because it's the Easter holidays or it's the start of a weekend, but usually events pretty much sell out in a very short space of time. So Harper Collins publicity people are all going "uhhh... what's happening?"
Oh, and for those of you who have already booked tickets, don't you fret. If it IS a smaller crowd than usual, it just means the event will be more of a casual chat between all of us. And also you won't have to wait in line for hours.
But, uh, for all you others... book a ticket. Or something.
I'm getting back to work now. But before I do, two pictures of cats.
One cute.
One scary.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 4953 Newer› Newest»My hair being shorter makes my whole FACE look different. It's odd . . . *is once more trying to decide whether I like it or not*
I've had it fairly long for years. Some of it being shoulder-length and the rest being shorter (layers) is just so odd. D: It's like someone got a picture of me, chopped my head and neck off and stuck it on someone else's body. I'm just missing all this hair and I kind of miss it. :P
Not that my hair was incredibly incredibly long before, but it was quite long. :/
Hiii

Hey, weren't you that assasin that nearly killed Aretha? The one that uses laughter?
Hello, Ulchabhan.
Ahem.............

NOPE!!!
Hm. It must have been my imagination... *stares without blinking for an unnatural amount of time at Jubi*

Guys. Every single comment on Derek's"world book day yay!" post Was emailed to me!
Thats Like... bIzzare....
You must haev acidnetally clicked "Email follow-up coments to *email ddress*, Brave . .
Tacklehugs are no form of art that I care for. Not that I care for art at all.
Jubilance Glee... You are doing nothing to deter my suspicions. If not for Aretha having told me specifically that everyone in Blogland was a close friend of hers, I would probably kill you... I'm still tempted.
Psssshhhh
You don't wanna kill MEEEEEEEE

Sorry, keep forgetting how many typos my computer will make . . . I should check before I post a comment, but occasionally I forget. :/
Croatoan-- You do not want to risk the wrath of Clemy.
Actually, maybe you do. Clemy vs. Niccolo would be fun to see.
[laughs maniacally]
Ooooh that'd be interesting
*watchs with interest*
Who is Clemy, exactly?
HI FABI!!!!
SHE'S MY FLYING FIRE BREATHING DOLVAMPONY THAT CAN ALSO TURN INTO A BEAVER AND A WOLF
Okay.
I am yet again dedding to Niall. I don't think anyone knows just how serious this goddamn thing is.
I'm literally crying. I'm serious. There are tears streaming down my face, reading everything that happened at the wedding. My dad is looking at me, but he didn't ask because he already knows. My DAD, who HATES 1D, knows. That's how bloody serious it is.
So many people hate us Directioners now, and I'm guessing Greg and Denise do too. I mean, seriously! Who the HELL crashes a wedding?! Even if it IS a famous guy's brother. Get a life.
Niall went to the wedding, happy as can be, yelling out the window and singing along to the radio. Afterwards, driving to the reception, you can see tear marks down his cheeks, and he looks upset. He locked himself in the chapel toilet and cried for God's sake!
Okay, legit crying. To you so called 'Directioners' that went down there and crashed the wedding, I hope your ashamed of yourself! I hope your 5 second picture with him is worth it, seeing him in pain because he thinks he ruined his own brothers wedding. Since when do you have the nerve to do that?! If he was really your idol, you'd put his happiness before your own, but clearly you don't love him just as much as you think you do. So disappointed in anyone who went down there.
"When One Direction split, I swear to god if you question "why?" ... argh, I will be nice and blunt. YOU. Not JUST you, but to everyone who has ever caused drama for them, or pain. You are the people that are making them 'living their dream' so damn depressing! When they first joined the X Factor, look how happy they were to be able to have a chance to get their dream, sing in front of thousands and have them like it. Look at them now and all you see is pain, because their dream has backfired and they end up with more anger/pain than they do appreciation. Okay, so we get things trending on Twitter to say sorry, but it isn't really enough is it?! His brothers wedding just got crashed, saying sorry doesn't solve anything! What you really need to do, is not cause them pain in the first place. SIMPLE!"
~ One Direction - Walking Perfection page
I totally agree. Why can't people just get a life and understand that celebrities have lives too? Directionators are tearing us apart. They say they love the boys, then they go and ruin Niall's brother's wedding? Denise cried for god's sake! D:< Can people just understand that everyone needs some privacy? By trying to see Niall, you ruined Greg's special day. I hope you're happy with yourself for ruining someone's wedding. You're not Directioners, and never will be. You are full on Directionators and don't deserve to meet Niall. Or Liam, Harry, Zayn and Louis for that matter. Go and be happy about your picture with him. I hope you're happy that you'd ruined the Directioner fandom.
End.
Clemy is Jubi's Wollameaver Dolvampony . . . If I remembered the name right. :)
Hi Star!
[mutters]
Two-faces.
OMYGAWSH STAR!!! I FORGOT ABOUT THE NEW NAME I MADE UP!!!!!
yeah... what Star said xD
Telling him what Clemy can do may not be the wisest course of action, just a warning!
oh right.....
FORGET WHAT I SAID!!! CLEMY'S REALLY A BUNNY RABBIT
Im back! And Im not being lectured anymore! WOOOOOOOO!
And it is horrible.
[mutters about two-faced eight-year-olds]
I'm never going to be any kind of star.
No offence meant to Star or stars.
MEL!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi.
Wb, Mel!
"SHE'S MY FLYING FIRE BREATHING DOLVAMPONY THAT CAN ALSO TURN INTO A BEAVER AND A WOLF"
....Am I actually supposed to be taking that seriously?
NOPE! Like I said... She's REALLY a bunny rabbit
Naw, we were messing with you. Clemy's Jubi's bunny rabbit. Not even a Monty Python killer bunny rabbit!
[looks perfectly serious]
I'm TRYIN to train her to grow really sharp teeth though!!! so MAYBE she can....
give you rabies...?
[laughs at the thought of sweet, innocent, adorable Clemy giving anyone rabies]
[coughs]
Well, I am now convinced that flying, fire-breathing, shapeshifting dolvaponies actually exist. Will wonders never cease...
*facepalm*
BUT IT'S NOT REAALLLLLL
SHE'S JUST A BUNNYYYYYYYYYY
Wait, they do...?
I mean, 'course they do.
[Whispers to Jubi]
I think Ari's death may have made him go insane.
*nods*
*overhears Fabi* *freezes up* *eyes glaze over*
Sorry about my ded.
I hate our fandom. We act all friendly and lovely and then when the boys come along we drop everything and bloody tackle them. I'm ashamed of the Directioner fandom. We don't deserve to have idols as amazing and caring as One Direction.
*grins at Niccolo*
*whispers to Fabi*
.... is he OK..?
Interesting.
And it's ok, Mara. You have the right to rant, and I see what you're talking about.
[whispers back]
Dunno.
I wouldn't get too close, though. He could attack at any minute.
heh heh heh... yeah
*backs away*
Maralie, do not apologize for complaining.
oh he can talk
and Mara, It's fine :) I can see why your so upset...
We made Niall cry.
We made him f***ing cry.
I'm ashamed of this fandom.
Just ashamed.
*hugs Mara* It is just awful.
Fame is awful. -_-
Idiots. Them, being eight, probably didn't think of that though. If they were older, I would be angry at them, but they're eight, so tehy can't be blamed for not realising ow serious it is. I blame their parents. If they teach their kids it is OKAY to do that, then their kids are going to grow up to be the sort of people who DO fully deserve the blame landed on them.
It's horrible for Niall, Greg and they whole family. That is the price of stardom, I suppose . . .
@Fabi: Being a star is different to being a Star. :) I agree, Being a star is horrible . . .
I didn't pick the name Star as in superstar. I picked it because I like stars in the night sky and it's a cool name that I hadn't really used for a character yet. I was irritated whe picking a name, because all my good names, I'd used on characters . . .
*shifts into a crow* *flies directly up without any intention of stopping*
*the
Not they.
*suddenly dives down into lake*
Star- okay, that makes sense. And yeah.
[Whispers to Jubi]
He's definitely...off.
Niccolo Croatoan,don't be an idiot.
That's not helping save Aretha.
Least ways, I don't think it is.
*whispers from behind Fabi* It is if her body is hidden in this lake.... *laughs maniacally*
*hugs Mara*
There is good and bad in your fando, just like there is good and bad in people. No organisation can be fully good or fully bad, because they all have people in them, and people are both. It is impossible to have a fandom without bad in it. You have good people and bad people, and all the good people have bad in them and all the bad people have good in them. Good and bad are incredibly mingled togeher. Imiagine mixing a bucket of white paint and a bucket of white paint together to make grey, then trying to take all the black paint out - that's how hard it would be to seperate the bad from the good.
The bad has shown itself strongly with this incident, Mara. But there is good in your fandom also, and you couldn't expect any fandom anywhere to be gooder than yours. :) It's the best it can humanly be.
Greg and Denise had it on a Wednesday during school hours so no fans would come. And STILL, girls from bloody CORK - which is 7 hours away from Mullingar - drove up. EIGHT year olds. And what's shocking is their parents let them skip school to drive up and crash a wedding. ;-;
*black paint
Not white paint mixed with white paint. Black paint mixed with white paint. Stupid brain.
Aren't eight-year-olds a little young to be into 1D anyway?
I mean, most eight year olds don't really listen to music, and I really doubt any of them can fancy people properly.

*stops laughing* You all have so much faith in humanity, don't you... It's sickening.
Exactly Star. That's why it sickens me. :/
It's their parents, that's who I'm blaming.
Seriously. How are they EVER going to grow up right with THAT ind of upbringing?
I don't care if their parents see this. I wish they would, because you've got to be cruel to be kind. If those kids are brought up corectly, it's cause less pain in the world. DO YOUR JOB, PLEASE. It's not that you can't be bothred to be a parent, if you drov them all that way today. So I just really don't get it . . .
This whole thing is a wake-up call to those parents. LET'SJUST HOPE THEY HEAR THE ALARM.
I don't have faith in humanity, Niccolo. Plenty of us have seen my rants against humanity scattered throughtout the comments. I hate humanity. We're horrible. It's sick. I hate us so much.
*starts crying* Uh. Just ignore me.

There. There. That describes my feelings perfectly.
Well. For someone who hates humanity, Star, you certainly write compelling comments on the importance of human emotion.
And Fabienne, I have no idea what you are writing. Is it some sort of code that Bloglandians understand?

*Is trying to figure out what all this means*
You have to go?
Bye, Fabigail. *hugs*
Dear Lord. I am so ashamed. I want to crawl under a rock and die.
*tilts head to side* I supppose I like thinking about people in general. I like thinking about people's minds and why they feel this and that. I like thinking about why people are this, and how this can inspire people to be this, and how this is because of this and this can lead to this and this is because of this. I just like thinking about people, I think. But people are horrible. Humanity is hopelessly flawed. The evidence is everywhere. Almost every single thing you see is proof of it. *sighs*
*is weighing the benefits of the TMS celebration against my tiredness*
Jubilance, what exactly is your discipline?
Uuuuhmmmm...
I'm an elemental
... :)
:( Fours Fabi!
I wouldn't be ashamed if I were you. :)
I think I already said all my arguements, but I repeat, nowhere is good. There is bad everywhere. Every group you join, there is bad in. Don't be surprised because yours isn't in this aspect different to every single other human group since the dawn of time.
I'm all gloomy now. *frowns*
MSD! D:
Sorry... I depressed everyone ;-;
fml.
You didn't depress me. I'm less bouncy now on account of being tired . . . And I meant I was causing gloom. I can't tell if I feel gloomier. I mean, I feel gloomier, but that would have happened anyway. *yawns*
I'll be gone for two hours or so... Not that any of you care. Well, excluding Jubilance... I'd imagine you're relieved.
*Tacklehugs Niccolo* BYE!!!!!!!!
*runs away*
:( FOURS NICCOLO!
Bye Niccolo. *waves*
Hi I'm back but wbd until ts nearly time for the celebration to begin.

Ah that must be annoying Star.
Hey robin! Or bye...?
*looks out window*
Ohh it's SNOWING YYYYYAAAAAYYYYY
I am actually lying in bed, with the lights of, in my onesie, trying to stay awake. Its a very hard thing to do :(
*Pours more coffee on Mel*
I'm lying in bed with the light on so it's slightly easier. I wouldn't be able to stay awake if the light was off.
I might have to go in a little while for dinner... :\
What time is it where you are Jubi?
10 minutes ahh
