Rundown

This day last week I was in Leeds. First, I visited the school in Huddersfield that had won the Skulduggery photo competition, and got chatting to a room full of highly amusing students. Then it was on to Leeds itself, to Waterstones, for an event, a question and answer session, and a signing that went on for, ahem, quite a while.

The following day we were in York, again at Waterstones, for a signing that AGAIN went on for longer than we had expected. Three hours in Leeds, four hours in York. Of course, some people (who shall remain nameless) chose to go to BOTH, which may explain the length...

I came back with the usual assortment of letters and notes (which I still have to go through), presents (including a garden gnome), and Skittles. Because I like Skittles.

It was so much fun, the Watersones staff were all ultra-cool, and everyone kept me grinning from beginning to end. So thank you everyone who made it out, and thank you to everyone who braved the long queues...!

So I got home on Saturday night, and I've been home for the last week, and I haven't done ANY work at all. Well, almost. Okay, so I did some businessy type stuff, but I didn't WRITE anything. Kind of. Okay, so I'm already planning the final Skulduggery book, and possibly a few other things, but that is ALL. I am taking a BREAK. Mostly.

So now that I'm taking a break, I can give a quick rundown on stuff I've been enjoying over the past few months...

Man of Steel: This was... good. It was a good film. Wasn't brilliant. I went to it with my mum, sisters and brother. My mum and sisters all thought it was amazing. My brother and I were more subdued— and seeing as how my brother and I are the only ones whose opinion I trust, I trusted us.

Dexter, season seven: Ah, the penultimate season of the serial killer hiding in plain sight. I always enjoy Dexter. Even the seasons that people say were weak, I loved. Only one more season to go, though, and then I'll have to say goodbye to one of my favourite characters. Will he be found out? Will he be arrested? Will he live? Will he die?

See, now I know how YOU guys feel...

Game of Thrones: Pure awesome. Not as awesome as the books, but awesome nonetheless. Jon Snow, Arya, Dany and Tyrion for the win.

Doctor Who: It'll be so sad when Matt Smith leaves. He's made a brilliant Doctor— childlike, impulse, excitable, yet so incredibly dark and lonely. And of course Jenna Louise Coleman is wonderful and gorgeous. (But Amy will always be my first love.)

Banshee: A weird one, this. An ex-con assumes the identity of a dead man and becomes the Sheriff of a town called Banshee. It has a lovely idea at its core that it hasn't managed to live up to, but I'm still watching. Definitely adults-only stuff, and even though the action does nod its head towards realism every chance it gets, it's still way over the top. Though I'm starting to question how no one has fired a sheriff who beats up suspects in front of the whole town...

True Blood, season five: Amazingly, this show gets better and better. It's moved away from its human/vampire love story beginnings and developed its own mythology. This is wonderful stuff, fantastically inventive, very funny, but again— adults only.

Assassin's Creed 3: errrr... I kinda stopped playing. All the Assassin Creed games are very repetitive, and I just couldn't muster the enthusiasm to finish.

Resident Evil 6: Dreadful. Again, I stopped playing. It just wasn't FUN.

Skyrim: I stopped playing because I needed to write, but I do intend to go back to this. Oblivion was brilliant.

Metal Gear Rising: Awful. If I wanted a fighting game, I'd have bought a fighting game. I buy Metal Gear games because I want to sneak around and kill people when they don't expect it. (By the way, I've just seen the trailer for the next Metal Gear game, which looks like it'll fulfil every gaming need I could possibly possess.)

N0S4R2, by Joe Hill: Brilliant book. Loved every page.

The Shining Girls, by Lauren Beuke: I read this immediately after N0S4R2 and it did not suffer by comparison. Fantastic.

Annnnd I've just been emailed the edited copy of LSODM, so I shall be going through that this weekend, making last-minute changes and additions... and then it'll REALLY be done.

Honest.

Dedication:

I urge you to to listen to these songs, because they're much better with the music than with just the lyrics on their own, but I'm going to type the lyrics out anyway coz I'm nice.
Here's the link for Part 1. Part 2 is directly after it on the playlist, so just wait there and do nothing for a few seconds after Part 1 ends and Part 2 will start.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ3KlvKlhI8&list=PLTslNdjmKxFtDwh1k3FIRyXuARLNTj9fJ&index=22

I WOn't See You Tonight (Part 1):

Cry alone
I've gone away
No more nights
No more pain
I've gone alone
Took all my strength
I've made the change
I won't see you tonight

Sorrow
Sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and loved

Building up
Inside of me
A place so dark, so cold
I had to set me free
Don't mourn for me
You're not the one to place the blame
As bottles call my name
I won't see you tonight

Sorrow
Sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for
And most of all, I loved
But I can't see myself that way
Please don't forget me
Or cry while I'm away

Cry alone
I've gone away
No more nights
No more pain
I've gone alone
Took all my strength
But I've made the change
I won't see you tonight

So far away
I'm gone
Please don't follow me tonight
And while I'm gone
Eveything will be alright

No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight

-----------
I Won't See You Tonight (Part 2):

Come back to me
This is unconceivable
Breaking apart
The ones you love
Hate runs deep
For what you've done to us
Left alone through
Suicide!
Suicide!

I
Just wanna die
Take away my life
Lay by your side
Come back to me
This is unconceivable
Breaking apart
The ones you love
Hate runs deep
For what you've done to us
Left alone through
Suicide!

Look at my face
You pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare
A heart for a lifeless friend
He's gone
Nothing will take back time
I need him back
But nothing will take back time

I can see just fine
With you in my life
And there by my side
As it starts to
Fade
I know this can't be right
Stuck in a dream
A nightmare full of sorrow
Nightmare full of pain!
Nightmare full of pain!

I look back and see the twisted road
Beast friends, then despair took its toll
Take away
Take away
Take away
Take away!

Sorrow
Sank deep inside me blood
All the ones around me
I cared for
And most of all, I loved
But I can't see myself that way
Please don't forget me
Or cry
While I'm away!

Look at my face
You pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare
A heart for a lifeless friend
He's gone
Nothing will take back time
I need him back
But nothing will take back time

I can see just fine
With you in my life
And there by my side
As it starts to
Fade
I know this can't be right
Stuck in a dream
A nightmare full of sorrow
I can see just fine
With you in my life
And there by my side
As it starts to
Fade
I know this can't be right
Stuck in a dream
A nightmare full of sorrow

My message is - suicide is horrible. It tears a massive gash through the world. Say every person was an ink bottle, and when one committed suicide, it fell over and was drained of ink/drained of life. As it fell, the ink always splashes out and stains the other ink bottle close to it, horrible black stains that no amount of washing will totally banish.
Maybe to you, suicide seems like a good option. Glowling and angels and release and finally happiness. Like in the instrumental at the end of the first song. But that's a disguise. It's black and bleak and sorrowful and dark. Like the music of the second song.
Killing yourself won't achieve anything. It will just create pain, and also - how do you know death is any betterthan life?
"There's others who longed to be dead when they were alive, poor souls; lives full of pain or misery; killed themselves for a chance of a blessed rest, and found that nothing had changed except for the worse, and this time there was no escape; you can't make yourself alive again."
You can't make yourself alive again. You have millenia upon millenia to be dead; very little time to be alive. Killing yourself is like jumping down a black hole without knowledge of what is at the bottom, and knowing that once you've jumped in you will NEVER come out. Maybe there's a massive mattress and a tunnel leading somewhere else. Maybe. Slightly possible. Or maybe, and this is more likely, there's just a hard stone floor and you'll crush all the bones in your body, or maybe it's full of water and you'll swim till you pass out from exhaustion and then drown, or maybe there's a massive mattress but no nice tunnel and you just stay there in that hole going nowhere until you die for want of water (dehydration kills you way before hunger).

Change is constant. That is a fact. Everything changes. Everything.
And if things are as really bad, then:

reallybad-bad-okay-good-reallygood
^
YOU
ARE
HERE

There are different, smaller options in between the big ones, but if you're at reallybad, then there is very little place to go on the scale except up. :)
Or right, as the case my be.
HANG IN THERE.
Also . . . don't kill yourself without giving us a chance to talk you out of it first. Please? If you're going to condemn us to horrible suffering, you might at least give us the comfort of knowing we couldn't have done anything more. And maybe, because we're intelligent people, we'll think of things you haven't.
And maybe, chatting to us will make you feel better.
But don't talk to me, talk to someone awesome at this kind of talking. -_-

So I sort of dedicate to all that, somehow.
And I dedicate to eveyone who has ever committed suicide. RIP. I hope the afterlife is kind of you. *hugs*
You didn't deserve to die, and the world is a darker place without you.

I said a metaphor before, I think . . .
Everyone is a star. A bright, shining star. And you may think, there are tons of stars in the sky. The world will barely notice and care even less if one disappears. There's still p;ently of other stars.
But remember, out sun is a star. If the sun disappeared, then we'd all die. Poof. The whole of humanity, extinguised. The whole solar syste, plunged in cold icy darkness.
Also, we won't have anything to orbit and will float around spcae, lost, crashing into things and exploding to death.
Maybe random people in China (just picked a random country, sorry) that you've never met won't notice you're gone. But there are lots of people in our solar system that will be greatly affected by your death, and will never quite recover.

So please.

Star Inkbright said...

Hitler did commit suicide.
Your point being?
*copies and pastes what I wrote yesterday, because I'm too lazy to make the same pont all over again when there is such an invention as copying and pasting*

Blogger Star Inkbright (Ink!) said...
"Rhydian is a good person, he saved my life and was there for me, and anyone who needed help. You, on the other hand, are a murderer."

Those two sentences make me feel rather sad. :(

Because like, murderers can be good people too. It's like, as soon as you kill someone everyone hates you. It's socially excluding . . . :(

WYou might say, that's why you shouldn't murder people.

But what if you're insane and can't help it?

What if you need to murder in order to do fabulous things for the world?

What if you killed someone, and now you regret it, and you're trying to start over . . . but everyone hates you beacuse of your past, and however hard you try to disguise it, moving houses and that, people always find out and then hate you.
You would never get a chance.
And then if everyone hated you, it would be much harder to turn over a new leaf than if you had support.

Murderers shouldn't be despised. They should be helped. They should be taught how to be gooder people, or how to not give in to basser instincts if they're good people already (and a lot of them will be). Just because they killed someone doesn't stop them being people. And if they murdered someone, then they very clearly need help so should be more entitled to help than others.
How do you expect to teach them how to not be murderers by hating them?

Hating just adds more bad emotion. And bad emotion leads to bad stuff happening.


. . .

Sorry. Hunter's a murderer, so it kind of hurt when it was said that the Remnant wasn't a good person because he was a murderer. Hunter's a good person, I believe. He doesn't just put his life on the line for people, he dangles it way over the line. He's changed the world for the better in numerous ways. His whole organisation is made to help. He's always offering to help people out with this and that, always jumping in and improving things and making himself severely late for this that or the other. Many people owe him their lives, both in literal terms and in figurative terms.
I don't think it's fair that all of that is ignored just because he's killed a few . . . well, a lot of . . . people.

It's like Myrnin in The Morganville Vampires! Because he's insane, and so keeps going crazy and killing people, everyone treats him as if he's dangerous and a horrible murderer and want to lock him up in cages and won't let people they love near him and are scared of being near him themselves. But Claire, although he keeps forgetting who she is and almost kills her and all that, still sees the intelligent, energetic young man and finds it so sad that he's overlooked and lost in all the insanity.

Yes. *Nialldles*

. . . Sorry, just had to make that point. :)

I think I got sidetracked and kept going on and on about things, but oh wellllllll. :)

Omg, a prospectus for Leicester is sitting by our computer! I think my sister went to look around it earlier this year!

I can't really relate to Hitler, but I know I can't forgive bin Laden and al-QAeda It's not okay when you watch videos of people jumping from those towers and you can see their ties flailing around and then splat. It's not okay when you read a first hand account of one of the 16 survivors of the North tower, or listen to the phone calls of people in the tower knowing they will die.

Luciana said...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Hitler was a lunatic.
But there are tons of people like him in the world. The only difference between him and them is that he was put in a position of power and encouraged.
If he lived in another time, another place, he could have been just another person in this world. Maybe a not-all-that-nice person, or maybe he'd have got better in some circumstances and been perfectly nice. It can happen.
Hitler wasn't unique as a person. He was unique in that he was that type of person and he had the chances he did.
I'm not saying none of what he did was his fault. Far from it. He was a horrible person who did horrible things. That's perfectly clear to everyone. But he's not 100% to blame for everything.

I do feel for people who suffered because of Hitler. But hating does nothing.

#ChaseForBook9

Mistical Future said...

hmmm good point but the reason is that Hitler was a Mass murder and you said that the world is a darker place without them. Sure maybe he shouldn't have died but the reason I said Hitler is because (this only really applies to Hitler) the world IS a better place without him.


on the topic of Hitler did you know that Hitler originally wanted to be an artist but didn't get into the art school. So he then went into politics,

Mary Contrary said...

Hiya, Flora! :)

*hugs Star* Wonderful dedication. Like, incredible-wonderful.

And then that next comment, with the- "Hating just adds more bad emotion. And bad emotion leads to bad stuff happening.", I agree, and, again, you've worded that so well.

Actually, this comes very close to a concept/idea that I wanted to focus a story around, I think...

Apparently the owner of the art school Hitler was denied entry to was a Jew and that is partly why he came to hate them.

#ChaseFOrBookNine

Mary Contrary said...

Hiya Lynxia!


I think that every person does - and has potential to do - both 'good' and 'bad', but which they actually achieve depends mostly on everything, both big and small, that they experience. So, effectively, if somebody does something 'bad', it's kind of built up by the influence of the entire world that has always been around them, or at least the part of it that they have seen or felt or experienced.
I'm not really sure where I'm going with this. Uh.
Okay, I'm putting 'good' and 'bad', in, like, quotation marks because I don't think anything does only good or does only bad. Like, it could be a horrible thing, but it could serve as a reminder to somebody that they are alive and there's liquid in their veins, function in their brain and that maybe they should try to make what they can of it.
I don't know.
I think 'bad' experiences can still be as helpful as the 'good' ones.

It's sometimes said that "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger," but I'm not sure that quite catches what I'm thinking. It's more, "What doesn't kill us makes us who we are".
And we can all do good.

Sorry - I'm still waking up-ish, and am pretty sure you've all gone way off this topic in the time I've spend trying to think of words, but, yeah. I'm gonna hit 'publish' now, before I change my mind, decide I've gone off track and irrelevant and typed a load of nonsense. :P

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: MEHHHHHH, YOU'RE SO MUCH AMAZINGER AT SAYING MEANINGFUL THINGS THAN ME. :)
I've missed you, btw. :)

And yes. *Nialldes* Hitler was very bad, but if he'd been adopted at birth and grown up in a different place, then maybe he'd have been a wonderful person.
And also . . . yes, experiences make us who we are.
"A good friend once told me
We are memories
Without them we equal nothing"
(Remenissions, Avenged Sevenfold)
(I'm quoting them a lot today, aren't I? O_O)
That's partially why I didn't like the end of Artemis Fowl. Actually, it's the main reason I despised the ending. If he didn't have his memories, he wouldn't be the same Artemis Fowl. He was told his memories? Yeah, right. He won't be the same.
I choose to try and interpret that he remembered after a bit, so it makes sense.
(I have a few objections with Artemis Fowl. All that rbbish about the soul, for instance. I believe that if you clone someone they will be a proper human being. Unless the someone you were cloning was not a proper human being, but whatever.)
And it's kind of sad, because I was OBSESSED with Artemis Fowl.

My brother woke me up last night saying that he couldn't sleep.

He went to sleep after 5 minutes.

I couldn't sleep for another hour.

#ChaseForBookNine

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

...I should sleep now.

But if I sleep now, I won't be able to sleep at night.

*keeps eyes open*

I'll be brave and stay awake :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dau: Then sleep now and don't sleep at night. :)

NIGHTTIME SLEEPING IS OVERRATED.

#ChaseForBookNine

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

YOU'RE RIGHT. SLEEPING is OVERRATED.

PLUS THEN I COULD TALK TO EVERYONE WHO I USUALLY CAN'T BECAUSE OF TIME ZONES AND STUFF.

I'LL NAP IN HALF AN HOUR, AFTER I FINISH THAT *points to thing Dau is working on*

WOOHOO GOOD ON THEM!

I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT AFL AND STUFF ON ACCOUNT OF NOT LIVING IN AUSTRALIA, BUT AS AN AUSSIE I BELIEVE THAT IT IS MY DUTY TO SUPPORT THEM.

:) YES, GO WALLABIES!

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: Aw, yeah, sorry about that. I've not really been able to get on recently - kinda.
But I missed y'all too, and it's nice to be back.
But I'm so distant because trying to catch up with computer-ly stuff, having not touched my laptop for a week or two weeks or I don't even remember.
My brain hasn't really been with me of late.

*hugs erryone*
Sorry for distance.
But you're all awesome, because I haven't said that since I was last on and such. :)

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

So I really love this trilogy called Daughter of Smoke and Bone, but I can't find any fans.

I mean, they don't seem to pop up anywhere else - there aren't really any active fan pages or anything?

Not being able to obsess with them is TORTURE.

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

I'm going to nap now, bye :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dau: When I next go to the library, I'm looking for the books. :)

So the cloud has a slight silver lining? Maybe?

*sings* No silver lining on the cloud that covers you
Let it pour and soak you through

. . . Sorry. :)

YAY HUGS! Who WOULDN'T want a hug, Arratay? Silly people, that's who.

And he's just being stupid, Luce. If he's not bothering/acting stupid/being a douche/anything like that, then he's not worth your time - you're too good for him!

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

Just 'cause. And to make up for times when I forgot.

Or Lusssssi, do you want her to?
Hisssssssss...

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

@Luce: Well that's good! But if he ever hurts you, I pretty sure I have a super sonic canon of doom lying around here somewhere... *ponders and searches cupboard under stairs*
*pulls out boy*
How the HECK did Harry Potter get in my cupboard?!

Ah well.

Hello?

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

HellOOOOooo...


I wanna talk to someone!

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

Hmph. I'm all alone.....

















Welcome to my LIFE.

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

“The operation was extremely difficult,” Nye said in its twisted, high voice. “No one but me could have done it. But I did it, so you can all go skip off into the sunset and live happily ever after, or whatever it is people do these days. She’ll need two day’s rest, or she’ll pass out. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have much work to do.” Nye slunk off.
Skulduggery and Valkyrie walked across the Sanctuary to the Medical Bay. They had just lied to Ghastly about just missing Tanith. He looked heartbroken, and Valkyrie felt her heart split with his. Just a few more days, she told herself. A few more days and this will all be over with.
“What do you think she’ll be like? Will she be… different?”
“I don’t know, Valkyrie. I really, truly, do not know. We just have to wait and see.” They walked together to the Medical Bay. Nye led them to a secret room, where Tanith was laying in a bed.
“She knows I’m Darquesse, so do we deal with that now or later?” she whispered to Skulduggery.
“We’ll see. Hi, Tanith!” He said in a brighter voice.
“Valkyrie- oh, good. Did you get away?” Tanith’s eyes were a bit wild. “Are you possessed? What happened? Everything went dark. You-” She dropped off abruptly. Then, she said softly, “You’re Darquesse.”
“Yes.”
“And you’re okay with that?”
“Only if you are. Skulduggery knows, too.” She sighed. “You’ve been gone for around three years now.” Tanith paled.
“So, Ghastly… has he…” Valkyrie smiled, a little sadly, a little sympathetically.
“He never stopped looking for you. Never. And yes, he is still completely, one hundred percent, in love with you. Sanguine is in custody. He was, ah, engaged with you.”
“WHAT???” Tanith shrieked.
“It’s okay now! It’s all right. It’s all in the past now. Besides, it wasn’t you doing it, it was the Remnant. If you’d like, when you’re fully rested, we’ll go down together and I’ll hold his arms while you hit him.” She smiled. “But for now, you rest. In two days, you get a surprise.”




Like it?

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

There was a loud thump upstairs.I'm going to look.

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

I don't know what/who did it... I'm the only one IN the house, Dad is outside..., and my cat is right next to me. *creeped out*

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah,

But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

Now where's your picket fence, love?
And where's that shiny car?
And did it ever get you far?
You never seemed so tense, love!
I've never seen you fall so hard.
Do you know where you are?

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

I'm just posting random lyrics...

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

And truth be told I miss you, (miss you)
And truth be told I'm lying!


Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can't look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell

Luciana said...

Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell

Let's dance in style, let's dance for awhile
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fleeing horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

La la, la la
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I’m popular 'ish
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons
Now you’re working at the movie selling popular corn
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
'Cause I’m putting down my story in a popular song
Said I’m putting down my story in a popular song

My problem, I never was a model
I never was a scholar,
You were always popular
You were singing, all the songs I don’t know
Now you’re in the front row
'Cause my song is popular

Popular, I know about popular
It’s not about who you are or your fancy car
You’re only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That’s all you ever need to know
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go

I was on the lookout for someone to hate
Picking on me like a dinner plate
I hid during classes, and in between them
Dunk me in the toilet now its you that cleans 'em
You tryin' to make me feel bad with the things you do
It ain’t so funny when the joke’s on you
Uh, the joke’s on you
Got everyone’s laughing, got everyone clapping, asking
How come you look so cool?
'Cause that’s the only thing that I’ve learned at school
Said that’s the only thing I’ve learned at school

My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
But you were always popular,
You were singing, all the songs I don’t know
Now you’re in the front row
'Cause my song is popular

Popular, I know about popular
It’s not about who you are or your fancy car
You’re only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you really need to know
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go

Popular, I know about popular
It’s not about who you are or your fancy car
You’re only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
It’s not about who you are or your fancy car
You’re only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you really need to know

Back! I is nervous about Rhydian showing up. Or about missing him. I DON'T HAVE A CLUE, DO I??!!??!?!

Okay,so yesterday, I died 'cause Trip killed me. Rhydian brought me back, got possessed, and fought with Trip and Zaffy. They left, I woke up and convinced the Remnant to leave. I had to poof, he gave me a hug and thanked me for saving him. Do you know what I did???? I ASKED HIM TO BE MY BLOGBOYFRIEND. O.O See the page two pages ago for all the deets. At the top of the page, the first comment is 'I GOTS IT' from Zaffy.


Oh, yeah, btw, the Remnant is still roaming the forests of Blogland. :/ Meant to tell you guys that...

Congratulations, Mara [hugs] c:

Hello again, Arra. [hugs]

I'm rubbish with advice, sorry.

Luciana said...

GUYS


I JUST WROTE THE 30TH CHAPTER FOR ITS


DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW AMAZING THIS MAKES ME FEEL, OH MY GOD

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

Heh heh. That's okay, Fabi. I'll just wing it , like usual. *whispers* What if he says... no?


GOOD JOB, LUCI! *megasuperpickleponytacklehugsofdoom*

I'll be gone from 2:30 to 5:45ish. And that's Eastern Coast U.S. time.

If Rhydian shows up during this time, can someone tell him when I'll be back?

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

CONGRATULATIONS, LUCY! [hugs]

Arra, I doubt I'll be around at that time either, but if I am, then sure. [hugs]

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

Thanks!
#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

I love how #ChaseForBook9 is second nature for most of us now! I am getting better, I suppose... And it's okay that no one uses it during Blogfights. Things move too quickly for us to do that then.

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

GAHHH! *#ChaseForBook9

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

*laughs irl* WOW, Arra. Smooth. XD

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Yeah, if we ever stop, I'll probably keep accidentally doing it for a week or so. :-

During Blogfights I just paste it in. :-P

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

How?
#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Control-V if I'm on the laptop. If I'm on the iPod, I tap the screen and select 'paste.' My phone doesn't copy and paste, so...

Or if I'm multitasking, I also paste it in. (ssh, don't tell! XD)

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

XD I paste it in sometimes too, but occasionally I already copied something different, so I put in something TOTALLY random and weird.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Yeah, once I pasted the entire first chapter of the twins story and had to backspace it all really slowly because my iPod wouldn't let me just highlight it all without highlighting the comment I wanted to post as well. :-P

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

Rhydian is sending shooting pains through my stomach. *wants to scream* WHEN WILL HE SHOW UP???!!!!??!???!!????!??!!!!

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

Well, that sucks. How long have you had an ipod?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

He'll show up when he shows up, Arra. He's probably eating dinner sometime around now.

It's okay. [hugs Arra and tries to think of something to take her mind off Rhydian for a little bit]

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

Aw, you're sweet.

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I got it for my birthday. It used to be Dad's, but he got an iPhone, which does everything this does, and makes phone calls, too, so he passed it on to me. After he used it to test this app he was making at the time.

@AlexandraJoy JUST SAID SHE LOVES ME. ASDFGHJKL;%7:#7TOXQICUJSOV7"7+#9%:

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

That's what sisters do, is try to help. Except when they're being annoying. :-P

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

You could NEVER be annoying, Fabi!!!!!!!! Don't you EVER say that. :P :DDD


@Mara: ... What? *hugs* Is that good or bad?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[hugs Mara] How could she not? You're amaZayn!

We're getting ready to leave now, so I have to go, sorry.

[hugs all]

The ded'll be late, but I have everything I need on my laptop, so...

Hopefully see you soon!

It tqkes more time to right click and paste than it does to type it . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

Yeah I think you're cute,
but I really think that you should know.
I just came to say hello,
hello
hello
hello

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

Bye, Fabi! *huggles*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Believe me, I can be annoying when necessary. :-P

#ChaseForBook9

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

NO! Okay, when necessary, I suppose ANYONE can be...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Star, not for me and my iPod. Theres only select, select all and paste, not a whole list to scroll through. And Ctrl-V is easier on laptop. My opinion.

NOW BYE. [tacklehugs]

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

STARARARARARAR!!! What do ya wanna do?

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

I wanted to get away
But you came I know you wanna
Try to get away
But you were on my tail the whole way home
So I was left alone
But you never came
So I thought I could get away
But I was wrong
I know I'm never right

One day I thought I could
But I never before
Tried to get away the time was on my mind
Try to find a way to see
The heart is designed from nothing I've been till now.
I want you

Tried to get away the time was on my mind
Try to find a way to see
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net]
The heart is designed from nothing I've been till now.
I'm up to no good
Ooh, I'm trying my hardest
Today, pretty soon it'll be tomorrow
But now with that day, hey
Well I tried to get the ribosome
And knowing that I couldn't ever get away
And you know, I never knew that you
Yeah yeah yeah, every day I'm on to you
But you won't try to think that I

Today, pretty soon it'll be tomorrow
But now it's that day
Hey hey hey...
Lyrics from eLyrics.net

Elder Arratay Shadows said...

I'm better
So much better now
I see the light, touch the light,
We're together now

I'm better
So much better now
Look to the skies, gives me life
We're together now

We've only just begun
Hypnotized by drums
Until forever comes
You'll find us chasing the sun

They said this day wouldn't come
We refused to run
We've only just begun
You'll find us chasing the sun

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun

When daylight's fading
We're gonna play in the dark
Till it's golden again
And now it feels so amazing
Can see you coming?
And we'll never grow old again
You'll find us chasing the sun

I'm never
I'm never down
Lying here, staring up
And you're looking down

I'm never
I'm never down
Live forever, forever
With you around

We've only just begun
Hypnotized by drums
Until forever comes
You'll find us chasing the sun
They said this day wouldn't come

We refused to run
We've only just begun
You'll find us chasing the sun
The sun, the sun, the sun
You'll find us chasing the sun

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun

When the daylight's fading
We're gonna play in the dark
Till it's golden again
And now it feels so amazing
Can see you coming?
And we'll never grow old again
You'll find us chasing the sun

You'll find us chasing the sun

When the daylight's fading
We're gonna play in the dark
Till it's golden again
And now it feels so amazing
Can see you coming?
And We'll never grow old again
You'll find us chasing the sun

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll find us chasing the sun
