I thought the title of this entry was smart and funny, effectively conveying the relief at another tour being over and done with in a winning and whimsical manner. But how many of you are going to miss the John Lennon reference and just puzzle at the "Happy Christmas| part? Ah well. Too late now to go changing it.
So, another tour bites the dust. This was a fun one, lots of people turning up, lots of glares and scowls and cakes and pictures and fist-bumps and many, many moody looks into camera... All in a day's work, really. Thanks to everyone who came along — it was tiring but I had a blast.
And now I'm home, and it's time to get organised.
There's going to be some cool news coming your way over the next few weeks and months. Some of it will make you go "Cool!" and some of it will make you grin. Some of it, of course, will make you weep, as it's coming up to that time when I'll have to start plotting out Book Nine. Most of you will still be reeling from the events of LSODM, so you'll know not to trust me. For some reason, the tagline from the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is floating through my head...
"Who will survive, and what will be left of them?"
The good news is, now that the pressure of editing and touring is off, I'll be able to get back to my regular (ahem) blogging and Twitter routine, so I should be chatting to you guys a little more often than I have been. Hopefully.
The fact is, I'm going to be incredibly busy for the next year. Want a brief rundown on what I have ahead of me?
1) Plot, write and finish Book Nine by March.
2) Work on Mystery Project 2.
3) Write 10 brand new short stories for the Skulduggery Collection out next Summer.
4) Work on Mystery Project 3.
5) Devise, plan and start writing New Book Series by September 2014.
6) Work on Mystery Project 4.
All that, and blog and tweet and play with my nieces. Oh, and my nephew.
Nephew, you say? But Golden God, you don't HAVE a nephew. I do now, gentle Minion. Born this afternoon, weighing in at over 9 pounds, Baby Skulduggery is now part of my Baby Army of Terror, and he is to be feared.
(Okay fine, my sister hasn't OFFICIALLY named him Baby Skulduggery, but come on... How could she NOT?)

Well... perhaps you could... get someone to translate it for you? I'd never be able to help you, but is there someone who can?
*picnic basket appears in his other hand*
Malik: I know that he'll look after her. And that's good. I'm not jealous or something, if you mean that.
☂cough i ship malik/chi cough☂
You sure Malik? :3
@Mith, I could give translating for you a shot...
WHAT?!
☂In any case, I think she's either gone or ghosting...☂
☂Poofing :p☂
I'm going to buy Grand Theft Auto 5 tomorrow! :D
The special edition too. *nods*
Ember...did you know sparrows fly south for the winter? *slaps*
That's really kind of you, Chione, but even in german I don't know what to say... As I said before, I'm terrible in situations like that... :(
☂NOT poofing!☂
Oh ok Mith, sorry.
Chione, you just made me laugh. Thank you! *hugs*
☂Laughs and rolls over☂
☂YOU CANNOT FIGHT THE SHIPPING CHI☂
Malik: *frowns* Um... well... *grins* Yep, absolutely sure.
*mumbles* I dont try to, I only try in my fanfic, which I practically write for you.
☂☂pokes☂☂
☂Keep the smiley, Chi, keep the smiley☂
(*hugs Chione again* Love you!)
@Malik: alright. Good, being in denial is horrible. They're good together.
Shall we have a picnic, Mithria?
*hugs Mith* You know, I think I'm closer to you than anyone else now ^.^
*grabs hold of Mith*
MISS ASAHINA
NO
*smiles at Mycroft* What a lovely idea!
Malik: *nods* Yes, they are.
☂(To the closer thing, not them being good together)☂
*laughs because of Mycroft's reaction*
☂GOD DAMMIT I HAVE TO GO☂
☂How about you and Miss Asahina have a picnic instead?
*kisses Mithria's head*
*leaves*
*watches Mycroft walking away*
*sighs*
@Em: *hugs* :( :( :( I'm really sorry you feel like that. I feel that I've treated you pretty much equally, but on the other hand I'm very forgetful . . . :/
You're an incredible person, and I really do think that. I believe this could possibly be my fifth time writing the sentence following on from the previous one, so I think it's accurate to say that I don't really know what to say, which is sort of an ineffective thing to say, but anyway . . . *attempts again*
I love Death, and I love you. I've been worried, concerned and upset for both of you at various times. Often, however, I don't bring stuff up till it's brought up, for various reasons which involve more analysis of myself in order to work them out, and I'm trying to avoid doing that. So . . . when Death comes on here and says stuff more, I say stuff back, but when you don't say things to me, I don't say anything back.
Also . . . sometimes don't speak to you as much as I really should do, but I could also say the same of Death, so . . .
If you ever need me, all you have to do is email. If it's important, I'll try really hard to answer. That's the same for anyone, btw.
. . .
Idk.
How are you meant to try and do stuff when you don't know how to try? I'm thinking, I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING! And then my brain goes, TRY! But I don't know how to try! What am I meant to be trying at?
. . .
If I figure it out, I'll say more. Hopefully it'll be coherent.
#ChaseForBookNine
LOL MYCROFT GOT JEALOUS
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Also, I'm better at "don't commit suicide" than saying things that come after someone has tried to commit suicide. I think this must be because I'm more practised at "don't commit suicide." I used to be so rubbish at trying to cheer people up, but I think I'm actually fairly good at it now. The trying, that is, not that actual cheering up. And this is because I've had so much practise. The other day, my friend wanted to quit this thing, and we were persuading her not to, except I was basically recycling everything I say in depression/suicide situations and trying to apply it to quitting, because I had no idea how to make her not to quit but plenty to say as far as depression and suicide were concerned.
So I think you might just have to bear with me until I figure out what to say to people after they attempt suicide. :/ I'm really sorry.
#ChaseForBookNine
I would love to have a picnic with you, Mith. But we should bring Malik too. He feels left out xD
Star, if you have time there's another part of my Mass Effect story that I've posted.
*grins at Chione* Seems like you're right... *laughs*
(I'm in a really strange mood right now. I am upset because of what Em said... but I also was laughing because of Ember and Chione. That seems so weird... How can I be both, sad and happy?)
**laughing at the jealousy-thing, not because of malik!
Hey ADRA!
@Dragona: HEY! I was telling my friends about you and Mass Effect today! :)
Pretty sure only one of them was listening, because people have sadly learnt to ignore me when I ramble on about things that seem irrelevant to everything, but still!
And - maybe I have time. Idk.
@Mith: Because we have weird brains and humans are screwed up.
#ChaseForBookNine
(*sighs* Well... I guess you're right, Star...)
*waves to Mith*
[pokes Star]
#ChaseForBook9
Good evening, Doctor Adra! :)
*grins*
It's because of Chione's fanfic^^ You're in it!
Star, what did you say about me? :P
*nods vigorously and gives a thumbs up to Chione*
*falls asleep*
*wakes up again*
Oh shit... I'm so tired... I should be sleeping. But I don't want to...
Gah my day sucked
Em, I am so, so sorry... What I'm about to explain is a reason, not an excuse, so even if it sounds like I am please don't think I'm excusing myself, I just owe you at the very least an explanation, because there is no one here who I love less than anyone else, and I certainly don't think for a second that you deserve any less attention than I give Death. I am a very socially oblivious person. If someone I don't know very very well is having the worst day in the world and sitting right next to me, unless they're actually crying or talking about how awful they feel, I'll have no idea anything is wrong. The same goes for the internet. When I know someone really well, I can pick up on all their suttle hints, and I know that when they say they're having a bad day or when they say they're fine that they need a lot more than just a hug and a "hope you feel better". I don't know you well enough to pick up on all of that. And I'm not saying that it should be your responsability to tell me you're feeling awful if you want me to try to cheer you up, because that would be rediculous and wrong and no on e should ever be told they have to do that. I'm not excusing myself, either, because I know that I'm oblivious to those kinds of things- I've recognized that flaw in myself- and therefore I should be trying to fix it by paying more attention and other such things. I just typed this up because I wanted you to know I don't say less to you because I don't think your worth it, or because I don't care as much. With me it's just as simple as if I know more, I'll say more. But you need to know how amazing you are, and how much you mean to me and everyone else on here, and you deserve so much more than words, and so many more words than I've ever given you. I am so, so sorry, and I promise I'll try to do more for you in the future.
#ChaseForbook9
@Dragona: I didn't really say much about you, other than that you were obsessed with Mass Effect. And I said about your Mass Effect blog and your fanfic and how you were building a model of a Quarian and then I explained about Quarians and how said it was that they couldn't touch anything. And before that, not sure when, I explained why you liked Mass Effect, and said how detailed it was and how every action had a consequence. And then I stopped talking about it because they went off to History and I turned the other way to French. And then I saw Slipknot Person's little brother. :)
*pokes Fabi*
Sorry I'm not really here. Trying to email.
#ChaseForBookNine
Star, if you see this: I tried to un-fade, but I really don't know how to go about it, and this time didn't work well at all. Sorry.
[Vanishes]
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi... *hugs tightly*
#ChaseForBook9
*kinda just sits there*
Hey Adra. So... Can you not speak because you're stuck in some form of meditation?
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Ari! Sorry I'm figuring out Apple products
I guess I'm leaving now...
1. I'll have to sleep a bit.
2. Blogland is kind of a safe haven for me... I came here because everyone in real life was down and sad and I wanted to escape because I can't stand if anyone I love feels awful. And as I never know what to say I often hide. I know that makes me an awful friend... and I DO try to help but I'm afraid I'm not good at helping people who have a really serious problem...
And now, everyone in my safe haven is/was feeling awful and I don't know what to do and I'm nearly crying at the moment and that's why I'll leave now.
Bye!
Star, LOL. ^^
I also like it because each race has their own language, culture, politics, military... the people who created it have literally made half a dozen different races that make sense, are realistic and also make different political statements about the world at the moment. ^^
*stands there with balled up fists and tears streaming down her face*
*holds up her hand to Aretha, with a circular symbol painted on in blue*
*writes: NOT STUCK on the paper*
Em? *hugs tightly* Talk to us?
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs* Okay I'm gonna just drink my hot chocolate because I am done with speeches I can't anymore. I'm sick of coming on and feeling depressed. With Rose its hard I can't fucking do it. So I'm gonna sit here hate me go on but I have no paitence left with anything.
*starts to cry openly*
I never told anyone about what I did to Chase until today. I never wanted to say it but I thought if I showed Death that I'm a different person on in the outside world, she would know that I do understand.
But it's just that guilt thats been eating me away all day. That I never got to apologise to him for what I did, that I never made it up to him.
...*hugs Em tightly*
It's ok to be too emotionally exhausted to do anything, Zaf. Everyone is exhausted. Just please don't swear or get angry with anyone. Or, try not to. Please.
#ChaseForBook9
[Smiles apologetically at Ari]
[hugs Em]
[Is not here, eating lunch, sorry]
#ChaseForBook9
Damn, Mith left again. *huffs*
I'm sorry I sound harsh but it's irritating. I wish I could be with my friends and do what I love. But nope. Something happens and now its just sit here and wait. Then we start up again with our usual things we stop ANOTHER inncident happens we stop. No wonder Derek doesn't come on. We all chant at new posts but why isn't he coming on? It's obvious to me now, we have too much drama. I don't blame him. I don't. He's safe on Twitter from it all.
Jesus thank you Zaf...
Well I'm sorry my 'drama' is getting in your way.
Don't want to take away from your precious time roleplaying after Niccolo/Aretha.
See what I was talking about?? Always someone or other who needs the attention when someone else is in real fucking need of it.
I'm out...
Em, I won't tell you to just not feel guilty, because I know that's not how emotions work. But just consider that he married you. He loved you and he spent what was left of his life with you, and that was what he wanted to do. And when you pushed him away, he kept pressing for a reason. He loved and valued you no matter what you did. He thought you were worth it all, otherwise he wouldn't have married you, and I'm sure that in his heart he'd already forgiven you. Even mentioning that at all was ridiculously brave, and to do it to try and help a friend... You're an amazing, admirable person, Em.
#ChaseForBook9
Don't guilt trip me Em because you know what. I have nothing left to say. I don't care anymore I don't. You want to get pissy with me because I can't coddle you fine but I can't you know I have enough to deal with without someone pissed over me being exhausted. Sorry. It has nothing to do with roleplay. It's the feeling of depression I get coming on.
Zaf, please. I know you're exhausted and you're upset, but you can't just blame people for trying to feel better. We openly invite people to tell us about their darkest times so we can help them. As much as you love it and I know it's important to you, people are more important than roleplay, and a lot of people here are dealing with incredibly serious issues and they need help. And we don't all try to help them because they ask us to. We drop everything and try to comfort people because we care, and because that's what we want to do. I know that's how it is for me. This place used to be a haven for so many people. I think it still should be. I get that you're tired and irritated, but you can't blame people for making "drama". There are serious, very real issues going on in their lives, and we want to help them as much as we can. At least I do. If never roleplaying here ever again would seriously improve someone's life, I'd stop. Without a second thought. Also, I will point out that you like to use this place as your haven too. You came on and talked about when you were upset that you didn't have LSODM, and when you were upset with your english teacher, and when your parents wanted to make you read, and plenty of other times, too. And we listened, and we tried to help you. When I know people's lives are at stake, I will always drop everything to try to help them, and they have every right- in fact, I really wish they'd do it more often- to come here and talk about it.
#ChaseForBook9
Zaf, again, I understand that you're irritated and exhausted, and not saying anything is fine. But do not complain that other people are ruining your experience. If you have enough to deal with, they do too. No one is angry with you for being exhausted or irritated. People are angry with you for complaining about people coming here for help.
#ChaseForBook9
*them coming here
That was awful overuse of the word "people". And yes, word choice still matters to me, because I feel when I have things worded correctly I can better convey my point.
#ChaseForBook9
Ari I get people need help but I just....never mind. I can't even talk why do I? I just make people mad.
Im just gonna sit out of this one...
Zaf, it is ok to talk. It is perfectly ok to say that you're irritated. But the way you say things when you're upset often sounds abrasive, and that's not ok. Like, it'd be fine to say something like "I'm sorry, I just can't deal with this anymore" or "I wish I could roleplay (or whatever else you wish you were doing more of) more often, because it makes me feel so much better, and it's upsetting to me that I can't" and then just talk it out. But when you come on and swear and say things like "it's obvious to me now we have too much drama. I don't blame him" it sounds like you're insulting everyone who shares their problems here. If you have an issue, you can talk about it, but not in a way that offends people or indirectly blames them for taking something away from you.
#ChaseForBook9
Don't you get it yet Zaf...
You are just as important as me or Death or anyone else. This is the place where you can say whatever the fuck you want and you have friends who will stop and help you.
Yes you piss me off and upset me at the worst possible times but damn it Zaf, I would take a bullet for you girl. You're one of my blog family and just as important to fucking me as my real life family.
You can talk- I encourage talking and I'll listen- just, instead of making it sound like you're blaming people, just say that you're upset in a kind way.
#ChaseForBook9
I don't try to it's just I don't mean to but I can't find a way to say it nicely. What I view as nice to me, isn't what others view. I was /happy/ and I just don't know anymore. I hate everytime I do have a moment where happieness hits something happens makes me upset
*writes*
I am angry with those who don't need it.. Or whom I feel are doing it for the attention. Yes, some people do need help, but.... If someone comes on here over a little thing that they have blown way out of proportion, or something that hasn't even happened... That pisses me off. But one of the worst is when people come here with every little thing that makes them angry or a little hurt. People get angry, and if you make a huge paragraph or ask for hugs and stuff for something that you will be over in two day's time... It makes me angry. And it isn't good to be so co-dependent on others all the time. If you have a huge existential crisis, yeah I can get that. But there are going to always be things that make you a bit angry. But has it changed you forever? No.
And besides, I have a limited time with you guys a day. Whenever I come on it's always fighting and complaining- sometimes even about the tiniest of things. Then those three hours are over in the blink of an eye. Really though- think hard. We don't hate each other. We hate how we act, right? And action is a response to environments. Do you all seriously think we all fight because we hate each other so much? Or is it because there is so much angst and sadness that was created here that made people so co dependent, that it effect people? Because people rub off on others, and tensions were built up because of the drama here.
You guys wanna know why the old Blogland was happy? When it was fun? It's because people knew the difference between real life and the internet, and they know their boundaries.
So that's what I think. I don't think people should come here for their problems. We're teenagers too. It's in our nature to be dramatic as well. If you honestly think that a 14 year old or a 16 year old even is anywhere near emotionally mature enough to help you, then you might have another thing coming.
So that's it. That's what I have to say. And don't waste your time telling me I'm wrong. I won't listen.
Also, Chione, I'm acknowledging your presence, and I'm sorry this is so... Whatever it is.
You too, Fabi... *hugs*
@Zaf: I know how you feel. :/ But . . . *tries to write what I mean a few times, but fails on account of the fact that I don't know what I mean*
@Em: *hugs* It's okay. Ari basically said everything better than I could even if I'd thought of it, so listen to her. Look, guilt will achieve nothing except to make you feel bad. We've all done things we wish we shouldn't. Whenever I tell someone I hate them, even when we both know I didn't really mean it, I immediately feel terrible because I think "What if they died right now" and I immediately say I don't mean it in case by any chance they die, because I don't want to live with the guilt.
This is, btw, mostly unrelated to the fact I don't hate many people.
My point was . . . we've all done those things to people that we'd regret so much if that person died. The only difference is that most of those people haven't died yet.
I have no idea what else I could say that Ari hasn't said, except . . . guilt is normal. Humans feel guilt so they know not to do the things that have made them feel guilty, and so are less likely to do things that hurt people. It's a basic instinct. If we didn't feel guilt when we killed people, then when we ran out of food (uh, I'm talking cavemen times) we would just eat each other and then we'd die out.
Guilt is to teach us to learn from our mistakes. You've learnt not to do it or things like that again, so the guilt has fulfilled its purpose, made you a better person.
#ChgaseForBookNine
I have to go now. Night!
http://masseffectfanfiction.blogspot.co.uk
*writes more* Not that I don't think some of you deserve help if you have serious problems- but... Most of us haven't even met. It's a false sense of security... A security blanket. If you are really hurting you deserve more advances or professional help, is all I'm saying.
Even if you're a really effing mature eighteen year old. Ou don't have a degree. And with us, if w screw up then that's that.
I think there's a reason people warn against talking to strangers on the internet. It's just... Yeah
Bye Dragona...
I think it's about time we face facts guys...
Blogland is destroyed...
"You're on my back when the water gets too deep for you to breathe
A crutch for you that won't always be there"
I actually love this song . . .
Oh, my point was - people use Blogland as a crutch, but when they jump on everyone's backs, sometimes we all get pulled under and drown.
However . . . if they didn't jump on our backs, they would drown anyway, because they wouldn't be able to breathe because the water's too deep, so the solution is to learn how to swim. I'm not quite sure how we should go about swimming, which just proves to me that we don't know how to do it.
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye Dragona.
Adra, I think you just hit on a very true and important thing. *points to Adra's post* *points to it again* *nods* I think you are very right.
#ChaeForBook9
Em- we're still here, aren't we? And we're still talking to each other, and trying to help each other and come up with solutions. I think it's broken- definitely very broken- but it isn't dead.
#Chaseforbook9
See what Adra said is what we do on my The Hunger Games page on Facebook. I admin with a few people and our page is sucessful because we have a boundry. We rarely tell our problems to each other in the comments, now we admins have our own group chat and we are close together we talk and stuff but if we have issues that are small we don't talk about them, we encourage our likers who roleplay to message any admin if they need to talk to one of us and I have had likers message me but we all know we have a boundry. Like yeah we say oh got to go parents being mean but I mean if its nothing like bad we keep to ourselves or just tell an admin. Nobody knows your personal business and as an admin we don't tell any oter admins unless its like: fan hates fan
Its not destroyed at all. It was going fine before you guys started arguing and im just sitting here waiting for you guys to stop fighting. *shrugs*
"Blogland is destroyed."
That sounds to me like Death saying she's broken beyond repair. Uh, no. EVERYTHING can be repaired. Stars may explode, but stars come from explosions.
I am a very stubborn person sometimes. I will keep trying after everyone has given up. And right now, Blogland is my friend's hair bobble stuck down the drain, and I am not giving up under that bobble is out. Although, in real life, I did give up, but only because she wasn't actually that bothered. A hair bobble is a hair bobble. It might have even been a clip, idk. But Blogland is special. Never giving up.
Although . . . I'm away all weekend. So. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
It's ok, Star- I'm the same way as you. I never give up on things, even when they're totally ridiculous like that. And I've already said that I'll never leave, even if no one shows up anymore and it gets to the point where I just refresh an empty page for hours.
#ChaseForBook9
Me no umbrellas:
It's not destroyed because people have rough patches. Things have rough patches.
And, Adra, I think we're perfectly allowed to come on here and be upset about things that will be over in a day or two.
*writes even further*
You've got that right, Em...
Yo guys listen up here though. The internet isn't the only source of help. Counselors, Churches (even if you aren't of that religion- it is typically the said Church's duty to assist the community), advisors at school, therapy groups, even. Yes, even the internet. But out of all of those, people who WANT to help in real life are the better options. Because here some people don't mind helping but others hate helping. It isn't a stable environment to let off steam. There are other places where it is... That's what I mean. I'm certain though- Church. Parents can't get angry at that. It's faith. So, yeah. Schools as well, they can help. Well. Should. Here, if someone is concerned for the life of another, there is nothing to be done. We don't know cell phone numbers, and if we call the police and say "hey my friend who lives in Belgium said he's gonna kill himself, send the Belgium ambulances for him. Oh, where does he live? I dunno." Like... Honestly...
Right that was a little rude. But true
Than that's it.
Boundaries are set and enough is enough.
My problems are no longer your responsibilities guys.
From now on, I just want you all to just be teenagers and enjoy this blog for what it really is, a bit of fun.
Zafira, Em, me, everybody, we've said things we don't mean. And things we do mean.
But we love each other.
I would disagree strongly, Mycroft... Well, I mean if that's all That people do... That isn't right. I mean if you don't usually do that yeah, sure, we can relate. But if all you do is that... That's what I mean
Well, I'm with Ember in that we should be allowed to come here and talk about small things too, but I think Adra's point was that we've been doing it too often and we've become so dependent on each other that a tiny thing often gets the same reaction as a "someone is literally about to die" thing, and that's not good, and it gradually brings everyone further down. I also thing it's fine to come here for big things, too, but like Adra said, it's bad if this is the only form of help you have, because we aren't professionals, and we're not even physically near each other.
#ChaseForBook9
Adra, this is me. Ember. Jordan. I'm being serious.
Look. I have been here for over a year and a half. In the olden days, before roleplay, we didn't not talk about big issues or not talk about small issues. We talked about everything, because we liked talking to each other, and so when we were talking instead of talking, we didn't really mind because it was all talking. When we're talking instead of roleplaying, people do mind.
Roleplaying is good, htough. I'm not suggesting we scrap it.
But if anybody DARES to suggest we stop people talking about big issues just to keep people happy . . . I will probably not attack them, because I am me. You know, there's times when everyone is laughing, and I just look at them and think, how can they be laughing when there is so much upset in the world? I was sat there in maths this morning crying, and nobody cared. One person asked me if I was okay, and all the other just completely ignored me. And I was just thinking - what if I was really upset? I would need people to notice. Or maybe U wouldn't, but I didn't think that at the time. And I was just looking at them laughing and wondering how they could. Not because I was crying, but because of why I was crying. And then there was something really funny, and I laughed, and I remembered how awesome laughter is and forgave them, and I'm not really sure where I'm going with this . . .
I will never, ever, ever tell people who are really upset to go fuck off because I'd rather have fun than help them, and if I do, I won't be me anymore, and the world will have lost something very precious. I really hope you manage to get me back, because I like being me, but if you don't, I give you the full go-ahead to hate me.
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah so am I. *points To what Ari said*
Em... I want to help you further. But... Anything I say will be incredibly rude. So I won't. But you're still über awesome and wonderful. But... No I can't say it
Well, I feel sad a lot. Absolutely and completely and utterly NOT to the extent of Death and Em, but I do. But I sometimes feel like because I only talk about it really very rarely, some of you guys don't always care.
I don't really mind though. I'm just saying.
Maybe that's why people feel the need to talk about it so much.
So basically what I'm saying is that both sides here have good points, and I don't think we should just never ever talk about our issues here- I think we have a right to, and I know for me personally, I would like this place a lot less if that supportive element was gone- but I also agree that people shouldn't come here just to make a huge fuss out of a tiny thing, and that people who have really serious problems should find a place where people actually know how to help them properly, and not just rely on us, because even if we're all willing to take bullets for each other we really don't know how.
#ChaseForBook9
Because if they ACT silly and cheerful and happy, nobody takes their sad moments seriously.
And I really need to brb. I'm very sorry, I don't want to, but stuff happens in real life.
#ChaseForBOokNine
I agree with Aretha.
Or maybe we could talk one-on-one more with Bloglanders who we know will be supportive? I do that sometimes...
*sighs* I just will wait because I can't talk anymore I just can't
No you guys are twisting my words...
Okay nevermind
Um, also, I agree with Star. Very very much. *nods*
And in regards to Ember's thing- I'm generally very good with email. I know you emailed me the other day, Adra, and I still haven't responded, and I'm really sorry about that- I have a thing saved in my drafts, just, Death really threw me for a loop, and I forgot about most of the things I was in the middle of doing. Including a lot of homework. So... Yeah. Sorry... But if you contact me one-on-one, unless some earth-shattering thing is going on in my life, you'll hear back from me pretty quickly and I'll be happy to talk to you.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Adra*
I don't mean to misunderstand. I love you, okay?
I just mean.. Everyone on here is always talking about their lives... Constantly. It's just too much sometimes
*hugs Ember*
No Adra, you had a but and I want to hear it.
You know I love you like hell and I value your opinion like diamond because you are the only one that tells it to me as it is and as it should be.
So, continue that but my girl...
Um, Adra, if I'm horribly misunderstanding you... Would you mind trying to explain it again? Because I really think you had a lot of great points and I'd like to hear what you have to say.
#ChaseForBook9
NOBODY EMAILS ME *SCREAM*
Probably cos I couldn't help a HAPPY person feel happy.
That sounded weird.
BUT I WILL TRY AND LISTEN/READ to (to?) anybody who wants to say anything...
bye
Agreed. I want to go and do what I like and constant irl problems just...
...
Sorry, I don't mean to be sitting here staring at the screen, ignoring everyone and just generally not helping.
[hugs every one of you]
#ChaseForBook9
I need to go because my phone has run out of battery (well almost) BUT
I LOVE YOU
YOU GIYS ARE THE BEST
SHIT PASSES
OOD THINGS HAPPEN
YOU DESERVE THE BEST
FLUFFY SOCKS ARE COOL
I THINK I ATE TOO MUCH SUGAR
Hi/bye John... Sorry. I'm spending all of my time writing comments and reading new ones and I'm not noticing a lot of things.
It's ok, Fabi. *hugs back*
#ChaseForBook9
I won't here. I'll skype you Em or something. In person type of thing.
Oh and Ari- don't sweat it about the email. ;O
You know I am gonna wait to comment until we're finished this just tiring...talk? Yeah. I'll comment when we're finished because I want to continue but with all this I got to wait
Okay Ads, I'm on now babe if you want.
I love you all guys. I really do and I appreciate it when you all try your best.
Adra, if your point was the thing about everyone talking about problems in their lives all the time and it just becomes too much- then I totally get it, and that's what I was attempting to say I agreed with. I don't think we should never talk about things that bother us, but I also don't think we should always do it.
#ChaseForbook9
That's kinda what I was getting at Ari...
And gimme a bit, Em- I'm calling me da
*sits by lake sighing* What do I do?
Sorry, Zaf.
Adra, I get the feeling I still don't quite understand what you wanted me to... And I really want to understand, but if you don't want to do any more explaining, that's fine, too. Also, sorry I don't have Skype or anything like that...
#ChaseForBook9
*throws a banana at Zaf*
Yeah no... I shouldn't have loaded that on you. I usually talk to my mom but she hasn't been here
*yelps* AH BANNANA!!!! *laughs* I keep picturing Nafira
*pushes Zaf into the lake*
Smile for fucks sake :)
[Goes off and works on a project that may or may help a little]
#ChaseForBook9
*rolls her eyes at Zaf*
*screams getting out of water* HEY! I'm WET
I think everyone made good points.
I'm here.
I don't work as well with email and one-on-one. I find it easier to talk to people here when I'm trying to say meaningful things. Also, I don't like how only one person can see what I put. If I manage to say things, I like knowing that lots of people can see it and it could possibly help them in a way, and also . . . I'm more nervous about one-on-one, because it makes it more personal, and I don't know how to act. I know how I act in different circumstances, but when I'm suddenly emailing someone on their own, I'm not used to talking to just them on a private line, and I don't really know how to act and in what form I should be discussing stuff and will they think this or this or what if I'm too this . . . on the blog, I'm talking to everyone, so I'm comfortable with most of you seeing me as this, but private conversations are so much more private so you look at people differently, well I look at people differently, so I know you must be looking at me differently, so it throws me off, and also, I'm more ignored on the blog, but on email, people will be observing my every word and drawing conclusions and I don't know them privately and . . . EVERYONE'S TELLING ME OFF FOR BEING ONLINE BUT WHAT AM I MEANT TO DO I NEED TO BE HERE IT'S NOT LIKE I'M JUST PLAYING A GAME yeah sorry.
Anyway. I work better on the blog. I know where I am. I know how to act. I don't have to orientate myself to a specific person. So I can work more on what I'm actually saying so it is, in theory, more effective.
Totally lost where I was going. Should probably go to sleep soon before my parents start devising potential internet bans.
#ChaseForBookNine
Gtg, dad switches the internet off soon.
*watches the other two from the side*
Just saw a YouTube video for the girl who survived rabies. And to see what it can do to people... To see what it could do to my dog... Very few things phase me. But this... Ugh.
*giggles*
*nods understandingly to Connor*
*raises an eyebrow at Zaf*
Ari poofed :(
So . . . I think I'm going to go and attempt sleep after this comment.
Please remember that I love you all. You all made good points, and I agree with all of you in a way.
You're all so beautiful. *smiles*
Fabi set Always Be Together to a video ded once, didn't she? It's a good song. Fits my purpose right now.
We are friends for life
Hold that deep inside
Let this be a drive
To survive
And just stand high and tall
Make sure you give your all
And if you ever fall
Know that I'm right here
We'll always be together, don't you worry
I'll always be by your side, don't you worry
The circle will never end
Just know that we'll meet again
And we'll always be together
Forever always
I am here
Find me in the sky
Dancing with the moon at night
Your heartbeat is disguised as my lullaby
Be happy, and know that I'm
Watching you travel far and wide
Waiting for us to meet again
We'll always be together, don't you worry
I'll always be by your side, don't you worry
The circle will never end~Just know that we'll meet again
And we'll always be together
Forever always
I am here
If you need me, yeah
I'm in the wind, look for me friend
I'm in the stars
When you need me
The heavens will send a message within
Straight to your heart
We'll always be together, don't you worry
I'll always be by your side, don't you worry
The circle will never end~Just know that we'll meet again
And we'll always be together
Forever always
I am here
I am here
I am here
#ChaseForBookNine
*gives her a "well duh" look*
*ily*
*hugs Star and waves to her*
*end
Just
*poofs*
#ChaseForBookNine
*nods at star*
*looks around for people*
Hi there...
*explodes Adra*
*waves*
*offers a skulcake*
Back! Sorry. I had to go run errands. So. I've barely written at all yet this school year, which is very very unusual for me, and it's really been just because I didn't have the emotional capacity for it, but now I do (well, more than I did) and I want to write like a lunatic again. But I don't know what to write. Ideas? Suggestions? Requests? I've already written the Alastair thing you wanted, Adra, but I can't post it because Tadra date... So... Yeah.
#ChaseForBook9
*hits Zaf with a frying pan, pulling herself together like in the Iron giant*
Hey Em.
#ChaseForBook9
*glares at aretha*
I'm curious which name likes me! Seriously I am
*finishes writing an Email and glares more at Aretha*
...Sorry... *pushes ded rights into Adra*
I didn't actually want them, anyway.
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs and holds pickett sign* We want Coco when do we want him? No idea!
((Above is thanks to Em))
Fuck it. Em, I'm so sorry. Good luck with your writing. Good luck with everything you do.
Good luck with everything, everyone.
Cheers.
Do you remember the one who does the earth magic, Zaf? It's that one.
#ChaseForBook9
What is his name? I honestly forgot....i kinda do want to meet him I actually do
*pokes Adra multiple times*
Skype??
*pushes the ded to Zaf*
Also, no one, please, email me. Or be sad about my leaving. Someone tell Connor though.
Cheers.
*is poked* *pokes back*
...Did you want the ded? If you didn't, why were you glaring? Did I do something wrong?
Zaf- his name is John Smith. He wanted it to be really simple, and average.
#ChaseForBook9
Death- of course I emailed you.
#ChaseForBook9
I kind of want to meet him I really do :)
*pkints to the Nameless blog and glares some more*
Uhm right I dedicate this page to happiness. Need I say more?
Telling me not to be sad doesn't work.
My brain automatically want to be sad just to annoy you.
Only I really don't want to annoy you.
I don't want you to leave either, though.
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes her head no to Zaf*
Rose is leaving..?
*awkward taco*
*sits there waiting for something interesting to occur*
I sincerely hope she isn't.
For anyone who wants to answer, or doesn't mind:
If you were an instrument, what would you be?
#ChaseForBook9
*points to the piano*
Interesting... [Nods at Adra]
#ChaseForBook9
*nods at Fabi*
Right I guess I ought to give up on that
Give up on what?
#ChaseForBook9
*swings around on a wrecking ball around a tree like a swing*
Oh! Yeah. Well, I wanted the Tadra date. So there. *glares back*
Um, yeah, Zaf- Niccolò assumed you knew he'd be a different person. Also, he's kind of a little bit extremely terrified.
Sorry for the really really late comment. I was eating.
Um, I really don't think I know enough instruments to accurately answer that question, Fabi. i'm tempted to say the classical organ, but I think that's probably only accurate sometimes... But I'm really not sure.
#ChaseForBook9
I actually understand the video for Wrecking Ball, now...
*is probably not here*
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs Mara]
:-/
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah thats why I kinda give up I know he won't do it and I know he'll be a different person...*screams and runs into a wall*
Oh, sorry about that, Zaf. I don't imagine it'll stop being a thing anytime soon, though, so don't worry about it.
Hey, Mara.
I felt like I understood that video well enough. It makes me cry every time i watch it.
#ChaseForbook9
*nods* *shows Ari the email she sent to trip about it*
*points her towards the Nameless blog again and shoves her towards it*
Well, he would do it. Actually, he thinks he should. He's just scared.
I still have no idea what to write...
#ChaseForBook9
[Sighs]
[Tiptoes off in a random direction with a needle, embroidery thread and some stuffing from a pillow]
#ChaseForBook9
Oh! Ok then. I don't have my notebook with me now because I just left the house, but I'll type that up and post it once I get back tonight, which will be a few hours.
#ChaseForBook9
I wouldn't be if he makes sure /only/ John came out it'd help. If he wants to do it he can I won't stop him
*sighs* brb dinner
*hugs everyone*
*hugs Death*
*hugs Em*
The video is about her being vulnerable to something that can destroy her, and when she *ahem* "makes out" with the hammer, it's basically like she's loving things that can hurt her.
I think.
*hugs Ari*
#ChaseForBook9
*claps for Mara*
*tacklehugs Mantha/Fabi*
#ChaseforBook9
Yep, that's actually exactly it, Mara. :)
