It's getting harder and harder to find the time to watch movies these days, so you'd think my criteria for the films I DO get to watch would improve, right? Like, I should probably make the decision to ONLY watch movies that have a chance of being actually good, and to stay away from films I've heard are terrible. Right? Right.
But where's the fun in that?
Besides, adopting such a sensible attitude to movie-watching would have robbed me of the delight of realising that two films I expected to be absolute rubbish turned out to be surprisingly good fun. Let's take the first one— a sequel to one of the worst films I've seen in the last few years.
GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra was an awful film. I mean, it was just dreadful. It was so bad that I felt compelled to talk about it on this very Blog, way back in 2009. Here is what I said about it:
"I now hate this movie, for it is awful. It is worse than X-Men 3. It is even worse than Transformers 2. I have not hated a film so much since I saw Van Helsing. Van Helsing was directed by the same man. There are lessons in life I should learn, and yet learn them I do not."
Ah, good times. This was back when I was writing Dark Days. What a fantastic book that was.
Sorry, where was I? Oh yes.
The first GI Joe was horrible. It had a stupid story and stupid action and stupid characters and everything was stupid. It had the worst CGI I'd seen in a long time and they'd taken a monumentally dumb approach to the whole thing. They gave the Joes super robot suits, for god's sake.
So naturally, knowing how much I hated the first one, I went ahead and watched the sequel. And maybe it's because I expected it to be every bit as bad— but it was actually pretty cool.
The story was still dumb. COBRA'S ultimate plan was just daft. But there were so many cool bits in it. The ninjas on the mountain. Adrianne Palicki jogging. Cobra Commander's AWESOME outfit. Adrianne Palicki in the red dress. Bruce Willis and his house of guns. Adrianne Palicki doing stuff.
And the two best scenes were between the Rock and Channing Tatum. The video game and the sharpshooting. Funny writing, funny performances- if every scene was as good as these two, it would have been an amazing movie. As it was, it was fun, action-packed, quite stupid, but there is NOTHING about it you'd hate after watching it.
Oh, but there is ONE moment I should mention. To show how high tech the Joes are, they're given all these cool gadgets at the start. One of these gadgets is a pair of gloves that MELTS THROUGH a chainlink fence. Melts THROUGH it! How awesome is that?? No more waiting around for the extra few seconds while they cut through the fence with stupid, old-fashioned fence cutters! No way! Now they save VITAL SECONDS by using these gloves! And the best thing? THEY GLOW BRIGHT ORANGE! So instead of dumb soldiers cutting through a fence with stupid fence cutters in the dark, being all sneaky and stuff, now the Joes can cut through the fence and alert any enemy within a five mile radius to their presence at the same time! Yippee!
(But apart from this moment of dumbness, it's not a bad movie. I swear.)
And the other film I thought would be awful was Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.
I heard this was diabolical. It's not. There are parts of this that are SO COOL. The witches are the best witches ever in the world EVER. They're evil and hideous but no two are alike. The make-up is brilliant. Famke Janssen is the head witch, and it takes guts to turn one of the most beautiful women in the world into a hideous monster, but they do it, and she's utterly brilliant.
It's a lovely idea at its core— what would Hansel and Gretel be like when they grew up?— and while it's set in a vague time, hundreds of years ago, the language and the music are modern day, which adds to the anarchic quality of it all. That said, the American accents sported by Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton are a tad distracting, especially seeing as how everyone else has a thick European accent. But come on... Renner's cool and Gemma Arterton is Gemma Arterton. Mmmm Gemma Arterton...
Word of warning, though. This looks like a family film, like a slightly dark fairytale, but it's not. It revels in bad language and gore. There are exploding heads a-plenty. So naturally I loved it.
I don't know if I'd ever watch either of these movies for a second time, but they were pretty damn good the first time out. Which was a really nice surprise.

Do you want the IP anyway??
I've got it already Em! I'll update my MC then I'll go on! :D
#ChaseForBook9
I dedicate this page to...My best friend. (Her name begins with a J. That's all I'm saying)
Because when I moved School's I didn't have any friends. She was my first. And she's just brilliant. :)
#ChaseForBook9
That's a sweet ded, Rhydian^-^
#ChaseForBook9
Thanks Dragona! I haven't known her that long but we're really close. And I don't know why she puts up with me. That just makes her twice as amazing!
#ChaseForBook9
I think I know why she puts up with you^^ Cause you're awesome. That's the reason. Accept it.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs* Thanks! :)
#ChaseForBook9
You're welcome! :)
*hugs back*
#ChaseForBook9

Brb
#ChaseForBook9
Back. Gtg soon.
#ChaseForBook9
Noooo! I need someone to talk with. Just watching Sweeney Todd, but only watching is boring...
#ChaseForBook9
Dragona what happend to dead reaping??
*coughs, stumbling in* Right. Sorry. I'm here now.
Gtg now. BYE!
#ChaseForBook9
HI ADRA!
BYE RHYDIAN!
Dynasty: What happened to what? Sry, I'm German, I don't understand...
#ChaseForBook9
*comea in staring* hi
Oh sorry I thought you were someone else. Soo sorry, but nice to meet ya!
WBD.
MSD.
*waves* Heya Rhydian
*glances at Zaf* Yeah, me too... *holds her cup of tea close to her*
hI zaffy
Hello everyone! *gets tea* i can't handle this
Would you look at that, 2 wild Americans just stroll in...
*waves* Hi. Two RPING Minions, Em ;P
*sits down across from Zaf* *shrugs* I know... *goes to carry Blueberry and Vile from their cages*
3! 3 wild Americans!! (I'm only here for a few minutes, though. MSD!)
#ChaseForBook9
Well if it isnt a Wild Emerald *glances at Adra* I wish I knew how to deal with Alexis the poor girl is shaken from losing her father
*waves* I feel like the count on Sesame Street
Hey Ari! You be back later though?
*nods in understanding* She's not going to get over it in one night, or two, or even a week. It may take years, maybe. Or Never. You just have to promise me to stick by her all the time, and to be there for her when she needs it- and to always support and guide her and be her best friend
'Course I'll be back later! Maybe in half an hour, actually. Yeah. I won't be at home, though, so that means no Minecraft for me... Sorry, Em... I'll be on later today, though!
#ChaseForBook9
Yay! *hugs Ari* Tell Niccolo I want to speak to him later okay not speak more like see what he'll do when i do something
Adra, yes I wil stay by her
*frowns* No, Zaf... I mean that you must under all and any circumstances be willing to handle her, and to be patient. It sucks losing a parent, Zaf. You'll have to be both you and him
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds rolled over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We caught up and lost
In all of our vices
In your pose as the dust
Settles around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds rolled over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh, where do we begin?

#ChaseForBook9
*claps for Aretha* Beautiful!!!
*sips her tea*
I know Adra I know I will
YES I AM DEREK'S AND HOLLY'S ADOPTED CHILD FROM AMERICA ;D
*glances at Zaf* Good. Now if you'll excuse me... *leaves in the direction of the courtyard and, further on, the bridge*
*pokes* Helloooo
*stops halfway down the bridge, Vile on one arm, Blueberry on the other. She lifts her arms up as the baby dragons begin to pathetically flap their wings, gaining a bit of air, but not too much*
*laughs* That is too precious
*smiles* Hey Alexis
Alexis: *smiles*
*there's a large draft of air, and a gush of freezing cols air, and a rumble*
*turns*
*sees a large, golden dragon staring furiously at her*
*ducks under the flame, running down the bridge, away from the flame*
What the hell?
Alexis: omg...
I'm back now. Sort of on constant msd, but here.
#ChaseForBook9
Can i talk to Coco?
Hey Aretha!
*gets up, and dashes to the edge of the bridge, into the Forbidden Forest, the golden dragon chasing after her*
*stares after dragon and Adra* Oh, that's right, we're still at Hogwarts... Oops...
#ChaseForBook9
*appears a safe distance from Zafira* What is it, Zafira?
#ChaseForBook9
Come here I won't hurt you Niccoló! *shakes head* I just want to do something I promise i wont...hurt you *shadow walks behind him and punches in back of neck*
Yeah, Ari... We ar-
*the rocks from behind her explode, and she keeps dashing, growing colder and colder with each step she takes*
*the dragon roars flame, but she ducks behind a rock, the flame going around her*
*legs begin to weaken from the strain, and falls to her knees, out of breath, and coughs, more blood appearing in her hand*
*the baby dragons fly to the golden one, who tries to hit them with it's big tail*
*the dragon stops, looking at her*
*it grumbles, slowly slinking to her position, sticking its nose next to her, before a tongue rolls out, licking her hand*
*laughs* Definitely a mother dragon
*punch goes right through neck* *shakes head* I'm not afraid of you hurting me. But what exactly are you doing?
#ChaseForBook9
To be honest wondering how you'd react *stands next to not in any way trying to hurt him* sorry the oppurtunity arose *sly smile*
*shrugs* If you were going to kill me, I'd have let you. But you weren't, and I saw no reason to needlessly start a fight.
#ChaseForBook9
*stares at dragon* So... Is it friendly?
#ChaseForBook9
What good did that do you, anwyway?
#ChaseForBook9
*the dragon nudges its nose into her stomach*
*giggles* I think so... *reaches out, gently rubbing its head*
*goes over to Adra and cautiously steps towards dragon, one arm outstretched, and begins to stroke it gently*
This is amazing...
#ChaseForBook9
*pets its nose and it hums in enjoyment* I... I think it noticed, well. *raises her blood stained hand*
*Vile flaps over, perching on her shoulder*
Not sure Coco I just...i wish you could understand how i feel but you don't *shakes head* i have a lot of emotions in me like your 48 names...hey can anybody ise the true names you stole against you?
*stares at hand* Adra... Is there really nothing we can do?
#ChaseForBook9
*sinks to a sitting position* I don't know Ari. I don't think so... I've lived with it for about 95 years, I think I can handle..
I understand, Zafira. I do not reciprocate your feelings, but I do understand them. Please keep in mind that my names are not emotions. They may have their own emotions, but they are not emotions in and of themselves. Each of my names has their own full spectrum of emotions, same as yours.
Yes, any of my names can be used against me. Technically, my name is now a fusion of all the names I've stole, but they are separate enough to be controlled separately. It would work something like this- when Mevolent used my name, he was controlling the name that controls all the others. If you were to learn the true name of the former Alastair and use that against me, you would have control over his discipline and personality. If you knew all of my names and put them together in the right order, you would control every part of me completely.
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns, waving her hand* Aretha?
Then you have to keep us posted, ok? Tell us if it isn't getting better, so we can help you. I know you don't want to risk it- I respect that- but if it looks like it's not going away, let us know.
#ChaseForBook9
Maybe if you knew the others you could get them sealed? I know your own you cant seal but...
*smiles* Of course. *takes a deep breath* I'm not sure if I want to tell anyone else though- least of all Trip- but..
*laughs*
Well that's ironic
I doubt that I could figure all of them out. I can seal my own, actually, but I'll need Aretha's assistance for that, and I'm waiting for her to become more comfortable with what she has to do. Why bring it up?
#ChaseForbook9
*nods* It is. Maybe you could make some sort of agreement? Like, you'll tell him your problem if he tells you his?
#ChaseForBook9
Just...wondering...*glances at Alexis then shakes head clearing it* you hae so many names so yeah
[Wakes up extremely suddenly, having fallen asleep standing up and topples over in the most undignified way possible, rolling head over heels downhill for several meters.]
[Stands up and brushes off the dust]
Hello all!
#ChaseForBook9
Right. *rolls her eyes* Like he would... I'm sure something would happen and I'd just have to tell him anyway. *shifts her feet, curling up against the Golden dragon's stomach*
So what was up with Niccolo yesterday? What happened to him?
Zafira. I know you didn't ask just because you were curious. Why do you need to know?
#ChaseForBook9
Nothing Coco nothing of importance...something I learned and I dunno what to do...
Hi Fabi! *waves enthusiastically* I'm petting a dragon! At Hogwarts! *laughs* Yeah, I had to say that out loud...
What do you mean, Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
*waves* hi, Fabi!
I must go now to the beach ill be back soonish by 2 my time
*face darkens* When he wanted Zaf to hurt him- everything he said to her- why did he do it?
Emotions. [Scowls]
It feels so bizarre, y'know...
Hi Ari [hugs back]
Um...congratulations?
[Smiles]
#ChaseForBook9
*stares at Zafira for a long moment* Do not lie to me, Zafira. There is simply no point. I can see through it. *sighs and walks away a few steps* I won't ask.
#ChaseForBook9
And hi Adra, Zaf, oh, bye Zaf, Croatoan, anyone who's here but not saying much.
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolo I know my own daughter's true name....
Now i gtg for real be back later
*long, shuddering sigh* Nothing happened. He doesn't believe he has a right to live. His names won't let him do it himself. He saw an opening when Zaf went crazy. He said everything he did to provoke her even more. He wouldn't have defended himself.
#ChaseForBook9
*breathes out* You have a lot to do, don't you? Somehow you manage. *looks at her, leaning her head against the dragon's belly* He's worth it, Aretha.
I'm going to have to give him a talk...
[Disappears off into the shadows again]
#ChaseForBook9
*raises her glass at Fabi*
*nods* Yeah... I know. He was a little afraid Zafira wouldn't kill him and then everyone would want to lecture him- he hates being the center of attention- but I guess that's exactly what happened.
Actually, we're talking to each other 99% of the time inside each other's minds, and sometimes just communicating through raw emotion. Most of that time I spend lecturing him.
You know what he saw, in the mirror of Erised? He stole a glance when no one was looking, just to show me, because I asked.
Bye Fabi! *hugs even though you're not here, deal with it*
#ChaseForBook9
*walks over to Adra and Aretha* Telling stories, are we?
#ChaseForBook9
Goodbye, Fabienne.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* I've give him credit, he has dedication... The mirror show what you desire most, right?
*shakes her head* You probably thought I saw my parents or something, right? No...
What did you see, then?
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs back even though I'm not here]
[also hugs Adra without being here, just because I can]
And if what I think is happened happened, then...whoa.
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs, picking her nails* oh you don't want to know... *glances at Aretha* You'd probably strangle me
Wait, Fabi, what? What are you thinking happened?
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* You don't have to say, but I promise I won't strangle you.
#ChaseForBook9
Very msd, but still here
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes her head, hanging it in shame* No...
I just have a guess. [Shrugs]
But I'm not here, so I'm just going to watch and maybe I'll know if I was right, maybe I won't. Usual.
#ChaseForBook9
Well whether or not you tell us, don't be so ashamed! It's just what you want most, you can't really control it.
Ok then, Fabi.
#ChaseForbook9
*coughs, then begins to chuckle* Oh no, I can control it...
*takes another sip of her wine, then gets up to pet the dragon's head, scratching its scales*
Then why make it something you are ashamed of?
#ChaseForBook9
Because I can't fulfill it. *shakes her head* Because it isn't happy, if you get my drift.
That I can understand. I cannot fulfill mine, though I am so sorely tempted.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* people are more similar then you would think, eh?
*the dragon begins to shuffle to its feet, slowly moving and lumbering her large wings*
FABI I DON'T SPEAK LINES
(I can't read that code... Sorry! If you email me I'll respond!)
#ChaseForBook9
I have to leave now! We'll be back in one hour!
#ChaseForBoook9
*waves* Bye Aretha!
I'm sorry, just...when I have an intuitiony guess like this, it's hard not to burst it out loud! D:
I'm sorry, I'm making this all more dramatic than it should be.
I'll just go again. I'll be ghosting still, though, 'cause I'm curious. D:
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Ari [Waves]
#ChaseForBook9
But I still haven't a clue what you said- wh...
ARGH
*begins to climb onto the dragon's back* Right. Okay.
Hey Adra!! Where did you go???
I have something to give you in minecraft!
*internets*
*softly kicks the Golden dragon's sides as the two little ones watch from a nearby tree as the mother dragon lifts itself from the ground, it's scales reflecting the sun blindingly.*
*begins to fly*
*nods* Yeah... I figured. Something he can't fulfill..
Yeah, so basically that's what I was being overdramatic and suspense-y and crypticy about.
Sorry, I do that sometimes... Kinda a lot...
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* You're not the only one. I'm surprised none of them picked up on it. The thing is, I did tell them what I saw in the Mirror of Erised.
HEY.
You know that song that goes I DON'T CARE! I LOVE IT!
IT IRRITATES THE HELL OUT OF ME.
Not because it's annoying, just mostly beacuse it says "I crashed my car into a bridge." Number one, it's a wicked waste of resources and harms the enviroment. Number two, she could have hurt or seriously injured herself. Number three, she could have damaged the bridge, and people could die when the bridge collapses (which might not happen for a week or two) and loads of money will have to be spent remaking it and everyone will be inconvenieced and be late for work or have to quit their jobs or get sakced, and then they could not get anotehr one, and then they could end up being homeless, and maybe the tenseness would break families apart and destroy people's lives, or maybe they get in debt buying a new car and then end up in prison for armed robbery like the man I spoke to the Friday before last. And also, of course SHE can crash her car into a bridge. She's a rich music artist!!! But most people CANOT afford to do that, and number one, it's rubbing it in our faces, and number two, PEOPLE ARE LISTENING TO THAT SONG OF HERS ALL THE TIME. People are finding her a role model. Maybe because of that song some people have crashed their cars into bridges, and then SAME MONEY-LOSS PROBLEMS AS I MENTIONED ABOVE.
And also - "I shoved your stuff into a bag and pushed it down the stairs"
WHAT.
THE.
HELL.
If she didn't WANT the stuff, she should have given it to a charity stuff instead of just breaking it!!!! *glares*
Or she could have sold it on eBay!
But of course, she doesn't need to worry about money, coz she's a rich singer. *growls*
Look. Why didn't she just go jump off a cliff into some water or something? *sighs*
"I don't care! I love it!"
Well, welcome to the world, where people have to care. You have to take responsibility for your actions and think about what you're doing. You wouldn't do stuff like that in front of your kids, because it's setting a bad example, and you don't want them chucking stuff down the stairs coz mummy thinks it's okay. Well, there are kids listening to her music. EVERYONE listens to her music. Derek takes responsibility as an author. She has to take responsibility as an artist, and just fucking LEARN to care.
Because if she just ordinary like us and didn't care, she WOULD NOT GET FAR.
"I love it!"
Maybe you do love it. But IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU, and that is unbelieveably selfish.
(Sorry, it just irritates me so much.)
#ChaseForBookNine
*laughs* Oh my God, Star... *hugs* that was a glorious breakdown of that song.
I don't even know who the hell she IS, but . . . :P
*hugs Adra* Thanks! :)
See . . . a lot of pop music is kind of light and just made to sound cool. But people do read into stuff and pay attention to lyrics. And this is why I'm worried . . . Look, Hunter would probably go and crash his car into a bridge because of that song.
. . . Admittedly, Hunter also doesn't need to worry about money, but if he did, it wouldn't be unusual if he did it anyway. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SHARE SIMILARITIES WITH HUNTER IN THE WORLD.
#ChaseForBookNine
*laughs* oh god...*frowns* Hunter.
*the dragon soars straight up into the sky, doing a flip, almost knocking Adra off its back*
HOW ARE YOU, ADRA?????? :)
I kind of want to bring Ez in, today. :P
. . . You know, Hunter and Ez kind of are two sides of the same coin. When you have just one of them, they don't really work. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Maybe they know too and just didn't want to say. [Shrugs]
[Raises eyebrow slightly]
[Frowns]
I didn't even look. I guess I was scared.
HI STAR.
I always interpreted the line with the stuff as packing up for someone else to leave... Like the other person would take the stuff with them.
However, I've danced to that song in Jazz before, so I am biased in its favor, since songs I've danced to are automatically awesome.
#ChaseForBook9
*coughs, and the dragon takes a sudden dive*
*screams, gripping to its back*
And that's probably for the best, Fabi
The crashing a car line still bugs me, though. :-P
And Hunter and Ez are awesome together. Like, really awesome. Of course, I'm maybe not the best to judge since I haven't met Hunter, but PRESUMABLY.
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah...
[Watches dragon nervously]
#ChaseForBook9
@Fabi: . . . True.
But "I got that feeling on a sumer's day when you were gone" - the person wasn't even THERE, so it's not like they chucked their stuff down the stairs and told them to pick it up and leave. They'd have to either leave it at the bottom of the stairs for a day and keep tripping over it, or put it away somewhere.
What is the POINT?
And they probably broke stuff chucking it down the stairs anyway, which is still a bad waste of resources and beauty and also unnecessary cruelty to the person.
"They can rip you, bring you down, down to their size" - breaking someone's stuff just to irritate them is the size, the low level, that LM are talking about.
SHE'S A FUCKING ROLE MODEL.
*sighs*
#ChaseForBookNine
*the dragon dive into the lake, swimming down to the bottom, and touching it, before shooting off, straight up into the sky*
*yells with exhilaration*
WOOOOOOO!
You always get the mean kids in Jacqueline Wilson books breaking the protagonist's stuff just to be mean and the protagonist gets really upset . . .
*hugs Fabi* Thank you. :)
Hahaha, the way they are online is like the Light version of a game, the one that's a quatre of the price but doesn't have all the features. Because irl they start off talking and they just do half of it through expressions, so it's really hard for other people to follow, and then sometimes they insanely reference and people are just like WHAT, and then sometimes they flip through multiple languages and like ARGH.
I can't write in multiple languages, though. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
. . . ME WANT A DRAGON. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
Sorry, btw. Maybe I just felt like having a go at something . . . :/
#ChaseForBookNine
[Shrugs]
I'm not in the mood to debate, and besides, you mentioned LM, but I've danced to the song a lot. Mainly because my jazz teacher likes it, but still. Therefore it is awesome. Of course, Ms. Jen couldn't find the clean version, so she edited one sort of herself and there were lots of little blips of silence and it was rather amusing, actually, but hard to dance to at times. :-P
I don't know where I'm going with this speech...
#ChaseForBook9
My friends did a parody of that song for the last day of school.
"I got this feeling on a school day when you were gone
I got put out in soccer
I watched it on and on
I threw my books into my bag
And ran out the door
I threw my bag on the floor
I don't care, I love it
I don't care, I love it, I love it
We are on different roads
Going to different schools
You want me in your school
But I am somewhere cool
It's so damn hard to pick
We gotta make the switch
We are all going up
We will be rich"
Keep in mind boys wrote this parody.
I...
I'm going again.
Waste of space, waste of time...
#ChaseForBook9
*nods, as the dragon touches down next to Fabi and Star* Do you think Ez and Hunter can come? For the excitement?
*slides off the other dragon, clutching at her lungs, which were sore*
*pets the dragon*
On Saturady we were in town, and in one shop, Change Your Life was on, and then in another shop later, DNA came on. :O
#ChaseForBookNine
That's a great parody, actually. *hugs Mara*
DNA actually came on as we were watching out of Schuh, and then we looked in Clarks next door briefly, decided it all sucked and walked back into Schuh just as the bridge was on and Little Mix were singing shatteringly high notes. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
MARA [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
*actually reads the comments*
That is an awesome parody! :O
HOW ARE YOU A WASTE OF SPACE??? *hugs Maraness*
@Fabi: *laughs* I could have pulled apart most songs like that and had a go at them, I guess. It's just that that song got picked on. *hugs*
Just because my brain was in an annoying mood doesn't mean it's not awesome. :)
I can bring Hunter and Ez on. FIve seconds.
#ChaseForBookNine
LITTLE MIX, MARA.
AND ONE DIRECTION
AND YOU'RE PERFECT
#ChaseForBook9
So, Mara... I saw something on tumblr the other day.
We all have weight, right?
That means that we have mass, right?
Do you know what that means? We matter.
Every one of us. Including you *hugs*
Hello.
#ChaseForBookNine
So apparently I now need a childminder to talk to people, because apparently -
(EZ, HOW OLD AM I?)
#ChaseForBookNine
(DON'T HAVE A CLUE, CHECK YOUR PHONE)
#ChaseForBookNine
*shakes out her hair, grabbing a coat and blanket from her backpack*
OH well look who it is...
That's brilliant, Adra. *laughs*
Everyone matters.
Every single person.
And you are a person.
I think.
(I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO CHECK MY PHONE)
#ChaseForBookNine
*glares at Hunter* I am a person.
Definitely real
(WELL THEN THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, ISN'T IT?)
*looks at Adra*
Hunter, be nice.
Hello, Adra.
#ChaseForBookNine
*nods* Ez. How are you?
Hello Hunter and Ez.
[Nods]
#ChaseForBook9
Ez says you're real, but on the other hand, she could not be real, so.
Most of the evidence points towards you being real, but you don't seem very realistic, so I'm still not too sure.
You're fun to try and kill, though. :)
But I'll try and kill you nicely, because my childminder, because I apparently need one, because my birth was so few years ago, says I have to be nice, and apparently people need to obey these childminders that they so need to have because they're so children. *snaps lightsabre out*
#ChaseForBookNine
*takes a step back* Hah, thanks... *coughs into her hand, a splotch of red staining her bandage, before quickly hiding it BEFORE the two could see it*
You really don't want to fight me right now
. . . You know, you would have given a much better effect if you'd have used just a little less sarcasm.
I'm not a childminder. Call me a Hunterminder, if you want.
I'm fine, Adra. How are you?
*nods back at Fabi*
#ChaseForBookNine
*shrugs* I'm alright. Two baby dragons, one outrageously large one. The usual
Talk about rp: I don't know, we have very fast eyes. Like Brianna. We could have been distracted by a yellow shower curtain, though.
Back to rp and ordinary talk: But how will we know if we dnon't try it?
#ChaseForBookNine
Um...
No. *turns to pull a small bottle of wine from her backpack, digging around*
[Steps back into the shadows]
#ChaseForBook9
HELLOOOOOOOO
WHERE'S BLUEBERRY?!?!?!
*nods* Hello, Jubi *hugs Fabi*
*points to a tree* He's up there with Vile. *gestures to the large golden mother-dragon* We have a friend
@Ez: . . . If you minded a Hunterminder, would just be a Hunterminderminder?
OH MY GOD, IT'S LIKE BUSTER.
If you bust a buster, you're a buster buster, and if you bust a buster buster, you're a buster buster buster, and if you bust a buster buster buster, you're a buster buster buster buster, and if you bust a buster buster buster buster, you're a buster buster buster buster buster, but I'm happy with being an Adrabuster. *swings lightsabre at her*
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh wait. Ez, if you're a HUnterminder, don't you mind me?
Dragons are awesome . . . *muses*
#ChaseForBookNine
*ducks to avoid the saber*
What the hell, Hunter!
ADRA!!!!! HUNTER!!!!! FABI!!!!!!!! *SUPERMEGATACKELHUGSOFDOOM*
(it'snotsupposedtobeinallcaps....)
hi.
BLUEBERRYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
QUESTION
are we still in hogwarts or back in blogland..?
We're at Hogwarts still!
oh
YAAY!!!!
and... where'd that huge gold dragon come from??
I'm too lazy to read the previous comments -_-
I also have to go soon so...
Oh... Okay.
And I have no idea, it just.. Appeared
@Hunter: DON'T YOU BE PLOTTING ANYTHING WITH THOSE DRAGONS.
Yes, I mind you. Isn't that the point?
And yeah, it's like buster.
And hello, Jubi.
And - but there aren't any yellow shower curtains here?
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh...
Weird...
[Sorry, the internet connection cut out.]
#ChaseForBOokNine
I was called a waste of space today by everyone in the group chat. I left and now they're all pming me and saying I'm an idiot, worthless and worse things. By people I thought were my friends.
I guess you can't trust anyone, huh?
#ChaseForBook9
EZ!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
hi.
@Ez: You never get anything.
Yeah, but we could have thought we saw yellow shower curtains.
I don't know, Addy, ask hell yourself.
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Mara* Then they're wrong bastards. You aren't worthless Mara, and maybe you ought to just ban them or however from your page... ?
*growls at Hunter, turning away* Just leave me alone
@Hunter: Well, sorRY.
And, but I DIDN'T think I saw them.
Oh, leave Adra alone . . .
[Five seconds, Maraness.]
#ChaseForBookNine
[hugs Mara]
You. Are. Perfect.
#ChaseForBook9
MARA!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
hi.
Aww :( Mara, people who say those kinds of things really aren't your friends. They're just jerks who don't care about anyone but themselves
Group chat. On whatsapp. Like texting.
As far as I know, you can't block people. And if I delete it, they can text.
Why can't they just leave me alone...?
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Mara*
It's important to remember that people get emotional sometimes and don't always mean what they say.
And, if you never trust anyone . . . then you won't ever trust the right people. Surely it's better to be betrayed and find friends than never trust anyone and live life lonely and constantly paranoid?
If you trust people and they let you down, that isn't you being a fail for trusting them. It's good you trsuted them, reached out, gave people a chance. It's not your fault people are backstabbing jerks.
Look, this paragraph is being have written like Hunter and half written like Ez, so if it sounds too harsh, I'm really sorry . . .
*hugs* I'm sorry . . .
I will never intentionally betray you.
That is a promise.
Might distonate whilst I find song lyrics for you . . . Might not find anything good enough for the situation, however.
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm only here long enough to say that I'll be gone for another two hours. So, yeah. Bye! *sneakyassassintacklehugs everyone*
#ChaseForbook9
Maybe you should talk to their parents- or someone about it? Or you could change your phone number...
*facepalm* Go Aretha :O
I know a lot of songs that involve people feeling betrayed by people, but y'know, I'm not sure writing out a load of hatredness will help much.
Five seconds again, Maraness.
#ChaseForBookNine
Because people are jerks, Maralie. Because they probably haven't been brought up properly, because they don't think before they fucking speak, because they're selfish bastards who don't care about other people, beacse they don't know any better, and because they probably have sucky lives themselves.
I would write more, but I have to go.
[That does for Hunter and me also. Brb.]
#ChaseForBookNine
Try...pretending everything they said about you they said about themselves instead...?
[hugs Mara]
And I really am not here, so...
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* Listen to Fabi, she's smart
Don't bother with them, Mara. They do not matter. They're far beneath you. Why should you even pay attention to them? You're on a whole otehr level and they're with the groceries and you're with the furniture. Because furniture is cool. Plus I like jumping on the sofas and knocking them over. And then I get kicked out. But that's irrelevant.
Don't let them get to you. PRetend they're buzzing little insects that carry around germs. Wash your hands of them.
Listen to Wings, because you like Little Mix. Their words don't mean and thing, you're not listening. Your feet can't touch the ground because you're standing on a sofa.
Yeah?
#ChaseForBookNine
I wouldn't know whether Fabu is smart or not, I've not met her.
*meets her* Nice to meet you. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Maraness* Remember, you can always email me if you want to talk or if you want to just be hugged. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*glances at Hunter* That's about the eight time now...
*tosses a grenade at him* Happy birthday
Fabi is very smart. :)
(Sorry, I would have said it right that second, except I wasn't me, and then I forgot about it.)
#ChaseForBookNine
*zooms away* Noooo, my birthday's not this month.
I think.
What month is it?
*snaps fingers and sofa appears above Adra's head and starts falling*
#ChaseForBookNine
Maraness still here?
#ChaseForBookNine
*looks at Hunter*
*gives Hunter different look*
#ChaseForBookNine
@First look: Aw, WHY?
SOFAS ARE FUN.
@Second look: *raises eyebrow*
Sofas are good presents to give.
#ChaseForBookNine
*dodges and goes to pick up the grenade* I didn't pull the pin, idiot.
*coughs into her sleeve, feeling a lot of pressure on er head, making everything feel fuzzy*
