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.

*waves* Hullo Fabigail!
*teleports behind Fabi*
There was a really creepy noise from downstairs bbs
O.O
Go get 'em Fab! *cheers*
Very msd.
Gtg, bye Fabi! *hugs*
I hope that the creepy noise is just one of the neighbourhood cats!
*disappears*
[jumps]
[does a sort of backflip over Mara's head]
It was just the newspaper. Oh, gosh, I don't want to be there when mom sees the scratch it made on the door. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Bye.
It was even less scary than that, it was a newspaper. An extremely aerodynamic newspaper, apparently. Or the paper boy is dealing with a dark side that takes him over, makes him write in code and throw the (newspaper name I will not mention) with more force than usual.
[laughs]
Or I'm just on edge lately. Sorry I sorta freaked out about it.
Anyway, bye.
I'm going too, since nobody's here.
[vanishes and falls asleep]
[or um, tries to]
'ELLO?????????????????????
HEYOOOOO

(I had dinner, then went to the shops, hence why I was away for so long)
Wbd, writing...

DEREK'S BLOOOOOOOOGGED.
Sorry for poofing.
Damn account went funny.
Ah well
*Pours some ginger ale*
Guys we can only party here he said it was for spoilers
Well well well. hello there.
yo
ill go then...
There's a new post guys :P
Hm ~pokes new post~
But I haven't read Maleficent Seven. I have to wait a little bit before I order it online, and then I have to wait for it to get here.
Ah, the faithful loyalty of us Ameriminions is impressive, isn't it? xD
Ok, ok, but for real... Well, if no one's here, that's alright. I couldn't stay all that long anyway, and hopeful Mr. Landy will post again soonish too :3
Well, 58 minutes since the last comment.
Maybe I should try to get to 1600
But I don't think I could without spamming.
And I don't spam unless it's only a few comments away from the next 200.
Grammatically that should be "two hundred" spelled out... Since it's only two words...
So you should all join Goodreads.
And add me.
And pester my brother Mark for not reading.
He's only read the Percy Jackson series [part of it], and his wife was reading the SP I sent him out loud. I'm not sure how far they've gotten, though.
I half suspect they gave up.
But I don't really hear from him. ~eyeballs~
Does Gepard ever come here anymore?
SamE? Darragh?
It seems as if a lot of older fans don't frequent this place a whole lot... if ever.
BUT I SHALL NEVER GIVE UP!
Even though I've been absent a lot/ distant, I'm still somewhere... in the background, I suppose.
Well, since I won't be here [since the library will be closed] HAPPY EASTER!
Is it just me, or does "auf wiedersehen" [German for goodbye] sound like "Our feet are stained"?
We have a lasting joke in our family, that if you say, "Your feet are dirty!" that mean Goodbye.
Ummm.... don't ask.
We're just cool like that 8]
Gazedas are money.
At least, it does in my family.
For the longest time, I thought it was a real saying- "That's a lot of gazedas!"
It turns out my dad's roommate started saying that [I don't know why], and my dad picked it... passed it onto us kids.
Maybe one day it will become a real saying.
When my brothers and I have families, pass it onto them, and etc.
Saying are so funny.
But I don't think I'm going to get into that at the moment.
I only have 29 minutes left, you see.
Well..... I'm running out of rambling material.
Wait, what am I saying?
I'm talking to empty space, and empty space knows nothing about me.
I have a lot to talk about... O_O
Favorite band: ThePianoGuys
Favorite book: Um... duh.
Favorite color: Dark purple
Favorite movie: Lots... like RED, Pride and Prejudice, The Count of Monte Christo, The Princess Bride, etc.
Favorite .... author! No, that's a no-brainer.... favorite... Let's see, I like REAL werewolves the most out of them, vampires, and zombies.
What's a real werewolf?
It's NOT a regular dude who turns into a regular wolf [willingly or not]. That is NOT a real werewolf.
A real werewolf turns into a hybrid of man and beast... not entirely either.
Big, tall, can walk on two feet, but runs on all four, smells fear, bloodlust, heartless, soulless, doesn't know, nor care whether your a friend of foe.
A lot like the werewolf in the HP movies, but... chunkier, not some scrawny thing. Werewolfs are big and mean and furry.
Hi. :-)
FABIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
~glomps~
How're you?
As you can see, I was rambling to empty space, working towards 1600 [although I don't think I would have been able to get there before I had to go, which is in 20 minutes :P]
~wonders where Insanity Nova Moonshine is today~
If you don't mind, I'm still going to ramble until I have to go :P
Hi Skyril! [tacklehugs]
I'm good, avoiding spoilers.
Distant though! Recording the Groddle Themesong, which probably means nothing to anyone, but oh well.
You?
Ramble all you like, I may not be able to reply to it all, but it's ok by me.
I'm avoiding spoilers too!
I don't understand why anybody would willingly read them!
The sad thing is, I never get to be in those discussions because I'm always late since I have to wait for it to ship to me >.<
Well, I don't mean to be a pity party ~headdesk~
Sorry. I just can't help being annoyed every now and then about the lack of SP in the USA.
But I'm serious, I DON'T WANT TO COMPLAIN OR BE ANNOYING ~headdesk~
~changes the subject~
Oo three comments
Then we'll be...
HALF-WAY THERE
~boogies~
Yeah, I guessed, since you're here and all.
And spoilers just spoil. The people who spoil don't make it as dramatic as the original book, and all the author's work building up to the plot twist is suddenly pointless.
Well, I don't think I'll be getting to 1600 :P
@Fabi
Precisely.
I can't STAND spoilers!
To be honest, I love the heart-pounding, gut-clenching, teeth-gnashing crazy desire to just SCREAM to know what's... going... to... happen... next!
It's one of the best parts of any good book.
Ten minutes left.
Hm
I'm wondering what to ramble about that won't be entirely deplorably boring.
Oh, feel free to complain. It's fine.
(I also am American, and I am annoyed that I won't be able to get TMS until May at the earliest)
Oh! Have you watched the Lizzie Bennet Diaries?
Oh, you are? I didn't realize. ~hugs~ You understand! xD
And the thing is, there are often so many Ameriminions about... It's so weird that Mr. Landy hasn't given us a second chance.
Oh, I do have a plan, though, to help popularize it.
Cheese
Pineapples
Cameras
Tourists
Sandwiches
(can you tell I'm hungry? XD)
No, I haven't, sorry.
Plan? Cool, what plan?
~looks back and forth to make sure no one's listening~
Writing it on money!
I mean..., we're not technically supposed to, but so many people do it... which isn't an excuse >.>
But still, if some of us just wrote it on a few dollars, those dollars could travel anywhere and everywhere!
lol, ~gives Fabi a ham and cheese sandwhich~
Obviously I wouldn't eat a camera, though. [frowns] Not even now. And I wouldn't eat the tourists directly, I'd steal their sack lunches and secret stashes of candy. [nods]
Lizzie Bennet diaries is an adaption of Pride and Prejudice into "webisodes" [which I'd never heard of until this show, but I think that's because I'm like an ostrich which its head in the dirt], and it's really well-done and awesome! They just finished it.
Gr, I've got to go in just a couple minutes -_-
Haha, thanks. [accepts sandwich and eats it in three bites]
I have to go actually get a sandwich now. Until later!
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries are, like, 4-7 minutes each episode, of which there are one hundred.
Ok, Bye, Fabi!
I have to go too anyway xD
~hugs~
See you another time! :}
Heylo!
[appears with sandwich]
[hugs] (you, not the sandwich. unless of course you don't want to be hugged)
Hullo Fabigail! :) *hugs*
Hold on...
I DIDN'T DED?!?! D:
Hi Mara. :-) [hugs]
I guess you didn't.
I ded to TMS, and... :3 you know, One Direction, Little Mix, Blogland, Derek...
Fabi - The girl who talks to me when I'm the only one here and it's like 2 am here :3
Luci - PERFECTTTIONNNNNNN
Kessie - YOU BETTER ENTER THAT COMPETITION BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN! love you :3
Star - YOU ARE AN AWESOME BRIGHT SPARK. DO NOT DENY IT.
Missy - le awesome person who went skydiving with Death and Jubi in my dream XD
(admittedly, every Bloglandian did, but Missy skydived with Death and Jubi while talking to them about public transport, so yes.)
EVERYONE ELSEEEEE :D
Public transport and skydiving? Hmm... Interesting. XD Thanks for the ded. :-)
Thanks for the ded.
And it was definitely a nice ded.
Your skydiving dream sounds fantasmaridiculous.
Public transport and skydiving. Yes. *grins*
YOU'RE WELCOME!
Thank you Fabi! :)
It was weird. Very weird. Someone got hit by a truck I think... BUT THEY DIDN'T GET HURT BECAUSE IT WAS AN INFLATABLE TRUCK.
Wbd, on wattpad and making lyric videos.
Sounds like a cool dream.
I sang this song medley thing the other day... [considers]
Never mind. My computer is being uncool, so I can't send it to you. It didn't turn out that well, anyway.
Okay.
Distant as well!
It was a very strange dream, but cool too :3
I'm sure it was amazayn! I sound horrible on tape XD
Most of my dreams are strange. And vivid...
And I sound horrible when recorded as well. I'll send it to you if the computer is working again, though, if you want to hear it,
Some of my dreams are vivid. *nods*
I sound horrible anyway XD
Sure! :)
I don't really know what my own voice sounds like...it always gets so echoey in my head.
My dreams are almost always so...deep. They have histories to them.
I'll send it once I get this |||==||||~||||-|||-|==== computer working.
My friends hit me if I say I can't sing. So I hit them back. Harder. And it ends up being a full-on hitting fight. But we're messing of course. But still.
I had a dream a few days ago that, uh, there was a bee, but she was, like, in human form. And, uh, she was like a 5 year old. And she had black ringlets. Her name was Taylor. *nods*
Weird.
I had a dream that license plates with upside-down Bs meant that the car belonged to the mad scientist down the block. (fictional)
Computer's working again, distant.
Weird indeed.
That's... *tilts head* Strange. But cool. stool. Yes.
It's okay.
Hi Zaf!
Hullo Zaf. *waves*
It's mine and Chase's wedding anniversary today...
[hugs]
*hugs Em tightly*
I wish I knew what to say to that...
i wish i knew what to say too...
I don't know what to say either, sorry...
Mara, here's the recording I was talking about.
http://youtu.be/4z8w_Yl7dWk
I have to go now, sorry. [hugs Em and Mara and Zaf and anyone else who is even maybe here]
Bye Fab. *hugs*

Why should I care?
Because you should. *pouts*
I must go. TO NARNIA!
Or, y'know, to my bed.
WHICH IS IN NARNIA!
Well, my bedroom.
WHICH IS IN NARNIA!
I wish.
Farewell, Maralie.
Hello.
Night, Mara!
'Fabi V. Sorryaboutthat'. Hm. Interesting name.
It isn't.
Well, I suppose it is interesting, but it isn't my name. Not by a long shot. [laughs]
Why then, may I ask, does it appear as your name?
Oh. I have to go now. I'll be back in an hour or so, most likely.
See you then, if I am still in the vicinity.
And it appears as my name because it suited my mood last time I was editing my profile.
I'm back, but since no one commented while I was gone, I'm guessing no one's here!
Eh?
Ah, hi Zaf!
[realizes]
I haven't checked the MC all day!
Nor have I posted anything in a while. Distant.
And congrats on Saturday. It'll be great. :-)
Helloooo?
Maybe...?
*reads previous comments*
oooOOOoooo i went skydiving in mara's dream!!!
sounds FUN!
hellOOOOO?
Hello?
FABI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi.
Hello Jubi! :-)
You didn't go skydiving any of my dreams last night.
Actually, out of the six different plots, you were in exactly one.
It was some sort of contest and you (blue mustache and all) were on the panel of judges with Shakespeare and a parrot. That was a weird dream. [shakes head]
None of the other Bloglandians (except possibly Niccolo in crow form) made any appearances, though, which was odd, because my dreams with Bloglandians usually include almost everyone, but not everyone I don't think.
Let me guess, you fell asleep?
Night if you did. I'm going distant now, super secret spy stuff.
Actually no, brushing my teeth. If it were super secret spy stuff, I wouldn't tell you.
NO NONOOOO
I'M HEEERREEEEE
sorryyy
Ah, so you are here.
[high-fives]
Way to be stealthy! Nice job!
(In other words, it's ok)
haha xD
HOW GOES IT?
and wbd
It goes...good. I'm plotting, as you may or may not have guessed. How are you on this fine ridiculous hour to be awake?
Okay, distant as well, writing.
I'm WIDE AWAKE! :D
and I don't have school tomorrow so it doesn't really matter xP
Lucky you. :-)
And okay, sure. You're awake.
I, uh, have school tomorrow, and I didn't sleep too well last night, so I very well might go to sleep before you do. After I finish this, of course.
haha okeydoke :)
I had so many dreams last night, it's not even funny.
Well, I guess the one with you, Shakespeare and the parrot was funny, and maybe some of the other ones could be considered funny now that they're over, but anyway.
lol xD I never really remember my dreams... xP
I remember mine, every single |||==||||~|==||==|-|==||== detail, when I've first woken up, then they fade out and I remember them only as much as I remember the day on which they took place. And it's crazy how in my dreams I can remember clearly things that never really happened, or even happened in the dream. Just while I'm in the dream, I can remember them as if they did happen. My dreams are the kind that mess with my mind.
whenever i DO remember my dreams, I always confuse them with real life
unless its something completely random like a giant butterfly breathing fire
xD
msd
My dreams feel like real life at the time. Some of them (the ones I try not to think about) even are replays of real life, usually the more unpleasant events. Afterwards, though, I can usually look back and say "That didn't really happen."
There have been a bunch of dreams, though, when I've been just chatting on Blogland like a normal day...those get confusing.
aww g2g
i just had a weird hyper crash....
NIGHT!
Night, Jubi!
Hi! WBD, writing for MC
This time tomorrow I will be waking up and getting dressed and all to be ready to meet Derek via Skype sometime after 11am my time
ONE DAY MORE
HEYZZZ.
Wbd, msd. In the car.
As I don't have TMS, I have to stay here. *grumbles*
With KOTW, everyone came back here to chat to us lot who hadn't read it . . . So fingers crossed! :)
Hello?
I also don't have TMS. The earliest I can possibly get it is May.
HI FABI!!!!!!!!
*tacklehugs* Wbd, msd. :(
[is tacklehugged]
HI STAR!!!
Okay.
How are you?
Well, we can keep each other company then. :P
I'll stay here after I get it, COZ I'M NICE. XD
There'll be a new post by then though probs. *shruggles*
Hm. First.
Hopefully there will be a new post. :-)
And I appreciate it. :-)
Should I do a video ded or a typed-up-words normal ded?
Bored of travelling (been four and a half hours so far, one hour to go. It was meant to be two hours. Motorway was shut, so we had to go through these little villages and HUGE traffic jamness and detours with maps and urgh), but good. :)
You?
Wow, I bet you're bored!
Traffic is for people with either no imagination or no choice.
Wait, what?
Could be better, could be worse. [shrugs]
Hmm. I'd want normal, because I couldn't look at a vid atm, but you decide; it's not 'bout me, issit? :)
Sorry 'bout slang. Think've been doing too much irl talking. XD
That's . . . *searchs* okay?
I've been doing extensive map reading, inventing detours and giving directions and comparing the paper map with the Sat-Nav (been mostly using the map). Therefore, I'm okay. :) Haven't needed games or electronics till now when we've back on the motorway and know where we're going. :)
Hm...interesting. Since I don't have that much time, normal is probably better. Videos take forever.
I've been doing...stuff. Mostly boring stuff.
