Happy Christmas (Tour is Over)

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?)

I have to go in 7 minutes and 52 seconds.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Huh, Maralie, I haven't read that one. I read one books whose name I can't remember that was extremely boring, and I read Julius Caesar, which wasn't that bad, among others.

IT TOOK ME A FUCKING HOUR TO WRITE THAT POST THEN THE INTERNET CUT OUT AND IT DIDNT FUCKING SAFE NOW I HAVE TO WRITE IT AGAIN! im so upset, literally crying.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

How does this always happen? I'm barely talking, and then I'm almost the only one talking....

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Awww, I'm so sorry, Chione.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

That's the worst.

Chione Asahina said...

I wanted to finish it in time for Mith to read it... *sighs*

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

4 minutes 26 seconds before I have to go.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

~hugs Chione~
It's happened to me before....
The best I can do is to re-write it anew, instead of trying to remember it... I always get frustrated when I try to remember it because I can't, it isn't as good, and I don't enjoy it.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

By the way..., just so that Blogland knows, my birthday is on the 23rd. xD

Yeah, I haven't been online much, though, but still :P

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

I have 1 minute 54 seconds.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Let's see... I was going to say something...

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

I can't remember what it was, though ~frowns~.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Well, HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY TO ALL OF YOU!
AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!

Wait..., those don't go together, do they?

Er.... See y'all later?

Noelle said...

Okay... I may or may not be back... I still kinda feel bad... But I'm here

Mary Contrary said...

Back.
With significantly less fangirl, and more real words.

The MCS-chat thing was really great. But I wish I'd /said/ something. But it was great anyway, so, IDK. :P

Y'all are pretty much the only folk I know how to talk to, you know that?
That, and there were about a hundred contributers on that thing. I just read the words and listening to the music.
I missed the end, too. *glares at very late dinner*

Sorry, I'm still rambling.

But yeah, I appreciate the ability to talk. You're so awesome you can get words out of me with ease.
I never really thought about that before, but it's kind of incredible, in a way. At least, to me. You all rule. :)

Fuck it. Ill just post it tomorrow. Im too tired to re-write it tonight. Now im depressed. Fucking internet, why do you ruin everything...?

Edward Fletcher said...

back in a bit

Mary Contrary said...

*hands Chione a cookie*
Aw. Well, At least it gives you a chance to re-imagine the creation again? It can always turn out both different and better, that way, too. :)

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Dunno, Chione...

Ha, Ed.

Chione Asahina said...

Nah, I write it in a notebook first then copy it over so yeah, it takes 1-2 hours for me to make and post a chapter. Its so much workkkkkk ughhhhhh

Edward Fletcher said...

what do you mean adra?

Chione Asahina said...

*bites taia's hand and goes to eat her cookie in the darkest cornor*

Noelle said...

"Back"
"Back in a bit" I dunno... That was funny.

Edward Fletcher said...

i thought i had to go, right after i came back, but i dont have to go yet

"Maralie Lily Charm, Princess of the Flowers said...
I've always wondered, of one of us Bloglandians becomes famous, will fans of that said person come on and fangirl over them, do you think? Because, I don't want to be absolutely rude and horrible and disrespectful, but Blogland is our place, and I'd hate to see people coming on who don't have a clue what SP is...

I mean, it would be great if that said person had loads of fans, but...

Am I being selfish? Sorry /:

#ChaseForBook9

September 17, 2013 at 8:57 PM"

I know what Mara means. When I'm famous (because that will so happen), I shall come here on a false name to stop my fans finding me . . .

Although, the movie will've been made by then, so Blogland'll be wrecked anyway. :(

@Taia: *hugs* :/
You're welcome, about the talking thing. :)
And - even if you regret not talking, aren't you glad that you had it and didn't talk, rather than didn't have it at all? Because thinking about the good side of things helps me. :)

@Chione: D: I hate that; it sucks!!!! :( :( :(

#ChaseForBookNine

Mary Contrary said...

Oh, so you have it written out already, and it's just a matter of typing it up? That's not so bad then, I guess. :)


*flinches, as she's bitten*

*looks down at her hand*

*sees two fingers are now missing*

*shrugs* That's cool.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Chione: I write stuff out in notebooks first too!!!

And my chapters are generally kinda long . . . *adds 'kinda' to dictionary* which could explain why I only post on my blog like once a month. :P
Actually, the main explanation is that I'm lazy and never write. XD

I want to write now, though . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: WHAT?

Wbd, typing up chapters. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*squints at handwriting, trying to work it out*

Btw, I decided today that I would write normally. The fancy cursive wasn't working out. I got complaints from three different teachers in one week, so I scrapped the whole thing, and now I'm back to Square One (I changed my handwriting because it was so untidy, except what I changed it to was pretty much irreadable *adds 'irreadable' to dictionary*).

#ChaseForBookNine

#ChaseForBookNine

Chione Asahina said...

You people are too happy. *lays flat on her face and cries* fuck everythingl

Mary Contrary said...

*hugs Star back* Absolutely. :)
I think it was a pretty incredible experience, and would've been either way, I expect.
Not talking also gave me a lot of time to copy/paste phrases of interest(i.e. Near everything, really. :P), so I have 11 pages on a word document of all kinds of words from them. And I think the songs and stuff all remain on the page, so I can come back to the ones that didn't come around or whatnot.
It was a like a huge, live, informal, 2-way unstructured interview in text-format, with extras. (And adverts, but still. :P) And I like interview-type-things, very much. SO yeah. Very glad I caught it. :)
Thanks. :)

#ChaseForBook9

rhydian? whats wrong?

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Ieni: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :) :) :)
I'M REALLY PLEASED I MANAGED TO SAY THAT AWESOME THING ABOUT THE STUPIDY OF LOOKING STUPID BEING STUPID, BTW. IT'S A REALLY GOOD THING TO BE REMEMBERED FOR. :)

See, you have these people, and you just know they're going to be epic, and Ieni was one of them. Except, she wasn't epic, she was jepic, except I didn't know about jepicness then, so I thought she was going to be epic. *adds 'jepic' to dictionary*

#ChaseForBookNine

Mary Contrary said...

*scoops up her fingers*

*tilts head, considering*

*sets about searching for a stapler*

@Star: What? I have have eight more of them ANYWAY. Counting thumbs, that is. :P


*hugs Rhydian back* Hey, what? *hugs again* I hope you're alright, Rhydian. :/

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Ooh, the cursor sliiiides along when you type on this new version of Word. It's jepic. :)

I STILL DON'T LIKE IT THOUGH. IT'S ALL NEW. AND TOO WHITE. AND IT HAS A DIFFERENT TOOLBAR. *glares*

#ChaseForBookNine

Chione Asahina said...

13 more minutes of laying here being depressed then a whole 7 hours sleep! Wow! Then going back to being depressed, yipee...

Mary Contrary said...

@Chiona: Happy generally feels nicer than sad does. :)
And I think both sad and happy feel better than angry, usually.
I don't know what I'm saying.
It's possible to be both happy and other things simultaneously, or about the same thing. It's about perspective, I think.
Um. Yeah. Kind of. :P

Also, I'm happy because numerous musical-news-things and active interaction with all of Motion City Soundtrack. That is SO, SO much to me, so I have licence to be over-happy, IMO. :P

Ieni Lorarté-Strider said...

OMFG BUT I SENT LUCI AN EMAIL AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON GROUP EMAIL But I didn't press 'reply all' and I said how was still so stupid and that was a very stupid thing Ieni

Ieni Liloutè said...

Um, hey. I've never actually writen anything on here before, but I've read some of the coments and stuff.
So bascially I just wanted to say hello :)
September 17, 2012 at 8:34 PM
Star Inkbright (Ink!) said...

Hi Ieni! You picked a bad time to say hi. Nobody's here. :(
September 17, 2012 at 8:41 PM
Ieni Liloutè said...

Yeah...I kinda realised that, but then I thought, that if I sounded really stupid then nobody would remember me...
But thankyou writing something to me back :)
September 17, 2012 at 8:44 PM
Star Inkbright (Ink!) said...

You're welcome. :) Why wouldn't I?

And, you didn't sound stupid. So it doesn't matter if anyone sees it. :P
September 17, 2012 at 8:46 PM
Ieni Liloutè said...

Which leaves me feeling stupid about writing a comment when nobody was about.
I can't win in the endless battle of stupidness...
September 17, 2012 at 8:50 PM
Star Inkbright (Ink!) said...

Nobody can. Which is stupid in itself. XD


YEP I AM STUPID STILL
It's been a year and I'm very stupid xD

Star, stupid doesn't equal epic xD
Although, Jeni + epic = Jepic :D

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Actually, I'm working in Compatibility Mode, because I started writing this on the 2003 Word and it puts documents created with older versions of Word in Compatibility Mode, as some new features may not work with them. It's too prevent damage. :)

Interesting. *nods*

*reads upwards*

Rhydian??? :(
Are you okay?

Chione, you okay?

No, im not ok. I have hsd a very bad day.
I kinda cheered up when I got home from school then my post that I took an hour to write, didnt fucking save cause the internet cut out. Mith was so excited to read it... I feel like I let her down...

We'll kill each other Rhydian, k?

Mary Contrary said...

Wait, wait-
How did I manage to typo a 'K' as an 'L', when there's no KEY on the 'L' key. I have NO IDEA how that happened. o.0

@Chione: Listen to/read/observe/other something that might make you feel a little better about the situation, or something? That's what I tend to try to do, I think. Something that you /really/ like, /really/ enjoy, /really/ appreciate, /really/- You get my point, I presume. :P
Just a suggestion. :)

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Hey yo- me too. *hugs Rhydian* Hang in there hun

Edward Fletcher said...

rhydian, whats wrong?

Chione Asahina said...

Nope. Im just going to sleep. Maybe that'll make me feel better. *sighs*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

But you do Rhydian, you just don't know it yet.

#ChaseForBook9

Mary Contrary said...

@Rhydian: Um, can I also put in the advice I just offered to Chione, there? Locate something beautiful, and kind of hold on to it?

Whatever it is, you'll be okay. Hang in there. There's good everywhere, it's just tricky to identify sometimes, through all the trouble.

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

...Does anyone have any good ways of ending it all??

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

HOWABOUT taking the long way and living your life out?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

None whatsoever Rhydian. Please, just calm down. Think of the future and those who love you.

#ChaseForBook9

Edward Fletcher said...

wifi is about to cut out, back later bye

Noelle said...

Hey, Rhydian- listen. We loooooove you. So much. Please don't kill yourself- you are so fun to be around and lovely, and brilliant.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

...Not the answers I wanted. Probably what I needed though :( FUCK MY LIFE!!!!!!

#ChaseForBook9

Mary Contrary said...

Like a swarm
We can’t see through it
We can’t hold thorns

Tendons that we are
Tendons stretched too far
Tangled up and heavy
Winding steady
Tender in the dark
We’re fractions of a star
Held above a story, for a moment only


Whatever it is, it WILL be okay, eventually. Nothing that's lit can be in flames this long - The fire will either be put out, or it'll burn itself out.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I know, Rhydian. *hugs* We all have it bad- you aren't alone with this. Please don't think that you are. We just want to support you. Or rather, we support each other.

Mary Contrary said...

I don't know if that really makes the sense that I wanted it to, but... Uh.

*nods at Adra*

Rhydian, however small or terrible you're feeling, you are a very important part of something very large, and very beautiful. You're a part of the universe - You're a part of life. I really, really hope you choose not to take yourself from it.

*hugs*

How do you know death is better than life? Death could quiet easily be worse, and there's things you'll miss about life (like US), and you won't be able to bring yourself alive again, will you?

Taia had really good advice -think of the good things in life. :)

Read a book, listen to music . . . *shrugs*

People are good and bad. Life is good and bad. But just as no person is without goodness, no life is without goodness. You just have to find the goodness. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*cuddles Rhydian*

So what.
I cuddle people.
Deal with it,

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

*hugs Star*

Thanks for trying to help. But the fact is, my life is shit and not worth living. It's just a pain to keep breathing, and talking...its just hard to live

#ChaseForBook9

Ieni Lorarté-Strider said...

Rhydian:( *hugs*

Things do get better, I promise you and if you end it now, they never will. I know it seems like they won't, but they will and then when you look back, it'll terrify you how close you came and you'll be glad you got though it.
Please stay strong<3

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Rhydian: English is hard. You have to think so much. And last year, I hated writing PEE paragraphs because it required actual BRAINPOWER, and I hated how I had to link and use multiple quotations and all that.
This year, we have a new teacher, and he's making us do it in table. We write the point in one column, pop the evidence in another column and explain in the third. And I HATE it. I hate being confined to it. I want to link to this and point out how this also means this and supports this, and I want to use more evidence to back up this, and I can't bear not being able to sort of loop round and tie it all up in various places.

Sometimes, things are hard, and you hate them. But when they've been taken away from you, you realise how much you loved them.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Rhydian: Sometimes, drawings can look really shit near the beginning, and you want to chuck them out. However, by the end, it can look incredible and you can be really impressed with yourself.
Don't chuck your life out. Stick with it, get to the incredible and be impressed. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Mary Contrary said...

*hugs back* :)

*nods at Star's words, too*

Rhydian: I struggle to both breathe, and to talk. Additionally, struggles in breathing makes the talking more difficult, and vice versa. But there's so much in the world that can make those struggles worthwhile, and often its because those struggles are present.
Like, I was saying before that the people of Dereksville, Blogland, are the only people I ever really know how I can talk to, and how beautiful and incredible that seemed, when I thought of it. If I was always talking, fine, to everybody, that fact wouldn't exist. It's a drawback in some cases, but it brings a huge highlight, and I can hold onto that light. The greatest light is the greatest shade.

I don't know how to round off what I just said, but nothing is never worth nothing. Everything has worth. Your life is absolutely no exception. It has a lot of worth to me, and to many people around us, as well, I'm sure. :)

Hey, Zaf. :) *adds 'Zaf' to dictionary*

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Everything I say is wrong, and I don't want to say what everyone else is saying, because you don't want to have the same thing fired at you a thousand times. Just know that we love you. We'd all miss you. Your family loves you. They'd miss you, no matter how it seems sometimes. Your friends love you. They would miss you. However many you have.

You have support groups Rhy, don't forget them.

Even that sounds...
Wrong.

I don't know what to say. But yeah. Sorry. *hugs*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Rhydian, life is hard- that's what makes it a challenge. You shouldn't be disheartened by the flaws- you're only human. We all are. You should take mistakes and learn from them, grow. If someone makes you feel bad, don't let them. They're insufferable and childish and naive. You however, are incredible. You're a writer, like us- you see things that others can't. Create things that are unfathomable. Your life is worth living because you have a talent. Don't give up, accept. ((And I know acceptance takes time but it will come, I promise))

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hi Zaf.

Noelle said...

Hey Duck!

Okay Zaf.

*sits down, plucking grass*

Rhydian again- if you're still here- we love you

Star Inkbright said...

@Rhydian: Listen to Adra as well. :)
Also . . . Trip was pointing out that you get told the same things over and over. That's because they're true. If you put 2+2 into your calculator, it'll keep telling you 4, because 4 is the answer. You're doing 2+2 now, and what we'll telling you is 4; it's the answer. :)

If you end it, you'll have done 2+2=1. That's the wrong answer, Rhydian.

You can have four eggs, four baskets, four laptops, four pencil cases . . . but plus, make it four. Stay alive. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*please

Not plus . . .

Star now I'm thinking of the Beegees...

And now Moriarty... Sherlock... Benedict.... Khan... Leonard Nimoy... ST Original Series..

Mary Contrary said...

Star - On the drawings, absolutely. That's a really great point.
And it applies to a LOT of things, I think.

And Trip and Adra, too. Words of greatness from both of you. *nods*


Hi Duck!

I dont need to be part of a club im in drama it takes enough of my time the time i do have is for my own desires not to be miserable at some stupid club just because it 'looks good' when it doesnt actually.

Noelle said...

I quit half of the clubs I signed up for.... Lol nope. Homework.
As for church, just tell them you're atheist or something. Or monastic. Become a hermit.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oh I told my parents I refuse to read but oh no my mther wants me to i mean lets look at my point of view I have no deaire i do not care i do not want to read i hate reading shit that is in old English or seriously weird words i have no deaire i mean i dont want to. Im not in the mood i sing and i altar serve i have no oter desires reading isnt on my list at all

Noelle said...

It isn't old English... It's a translation from probably Middle English which could have been from any of the Romance languages from Latin from Greek from Arabic...

I don't know how to help. I find it interesting, perhaps not the ceremonies but the history is cool...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I dont mind the stories I just have no desire to read it to hundreds of people. It isn't going to do shit. Seperation between church and state not one college will care I read they'll care how i did on my SAT and how my grades were in high school i was told by our drama director joining millions of clubs doesnt help because if you do what you're pasionate about and do it well it shows more to them then being in every club the school has.

Noelle said...

I don't know how to help you, Zaf...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Its fine Adra. Its just tiring getting pushed around by my parents I can't sit there and do things I'm totally uncomfortable with I really can't. I always hated reading in front of my class yet I will easily go on stage and do a dialouge with someone. I'm comfortable in theater not reading scripture to people. I can't I'll burst out sobbing because I'm terrified I really am. It's not my talent my talents lay elsewhere.

Noelle said...

So if you can't do it, don't,

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

The problem is I'm being forced I'm not being given the choice! My mother is litterally forcing me to read and I told her plain as day I can't and she called me fat and lazy! She had a hissy fit that I don't want to read. I don't know what to do I can't do it I know my strengths and reading isn't one.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well Zaf. I think my friend Stasiu will agree with me on this, if you really don't want to do it, then don't. Even if they force you up to the alter, read an extract from the God Delusion or something. I bet that'd work. Or just start blaspheming. That's their punishment for making you do things you don't want to do.

Noelle said...

... That would be hilarious, Trip...

Just say you have homework. Pretend to feel sick.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Or you could just stand their in silence. Read an extract from a science textbook on the Big Bang or evolution, or start a passions debate.

Or, you could write yourself a speech on whatever you want to talk about, and say: I know this is normally the bit where we read some scripture, but I have something to say.

Then say it.

Just a few ideas.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

You know Zaf, you could always talk to your pastor. It's their job to help the community. They would understand

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Or....

You could read from Revalations.

Everybody loves revelations, I mean, it's crazy! But my god is it a good read...

Heh. Or the Old Testament. Read how God killed most of the race and the Devil only ever killed like, ten people.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

And then I'll get told that I'm lazy. Thats all my mother ever does. She has no fucking idea how much I bust my ass at drama I learned ballroom dancing. I can't dance for the life of me I spent the hour I had in the second dance learning it and guess what? I'll bust my ass again next week and the week after and then eery practice i will bust my ass and comes tech week (week leading to opening night) i practically live at school and I bust my arse I do I'm there until 8-9pm every night working my ass off doing what i need. And it isn't exactly fun staying late. She doesnt have the guts to do theater i do and i do it because i have a strength in it and i do it for the people coming. Our school got ranked number one place to see a show in the entire area. That says something.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I wonder if you can buy the book of revelations.

Just on it's own, in book form.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Yeah lol :3

Out of curiosity Zaf, are you Catholic?

Because if you are...

THere is a TON you could say

Noelle said...

...my old school is number one in the diocese for heroin use.

I had no idea

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well Zaf, I find that standing my ground is the best strategy for me. Make them listen, show them the facts. Use your aggravation to fuel your case.

But those are my suggestions.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Yeah I'm Roman Catholic. I got Confirmed in 6th grade and every since May of this year I get nagged to read by my parents I'm gonna end up bursting into tears in front of one of the priests thats how petrified I am to do this. I can't and I probably will burst into tears.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well my school is top of the country for water polo.

Yeah!

I love water polo, it's like water rugby.

#ChAseForBook9

Noelle said...

Go to the father. Write a letter. After Mass, go up to him and request an audience or ask to email or something. They'll listen, Zaf. Trust me.

Noelle said...

What the hell is water rugby.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Zaf, you need to send them a message. Making a speech in stead of reading might work. Give it some thought.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Rugby.... In the water. It isn't a thing, I was just saying that water polo was it's real life equivelant.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I have nothing to add- Trip and Adra are really awesome at this. You should listen to them. ^ *points to all the above comments*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

"Rugby in the water" Well yeah, NEVER would have guessed that...
But anyways.

It's ridiculous, the people at my old school.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

You mean being good and evil, or offering advice?

Also! Hi! And thanks. *hugs* How are you?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I'm calming down my friend told me just picutr Niccolò standing beside me and I kind of can because I like him and usually if he says something to me I will do it

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

People at your old school?

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I'm well. *hugs back* Thanks for asking.

And I meant about the whole religion thing. So I guess that's advice. Oh, also, can I email you?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Hi Snow.


Yeah. *makes the sign of the cross* Bless you, my child.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Hey Snow!

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Uhm email me? Yeah sure go on

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hey Snow.


That's a little creepy Zaf.

Just a little, but... Um...

Forget it.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Yeah. Whores, alcoholics, and spoiled brats.

At the dance this one freshman was being... Open around the guys and really sexual and stuff. ((She was like, thirteen)) so... I MAY have went up and grinded next to her and she was so freaked out and I said "that's what's gonna happen when you go to a club ifyou keep dancing like that" or something along those lines and it was hilarious.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Oh, sorry, I meant that in response to Trip. ;p

...Trip, can I email you?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hi Misti!

*hums*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well um... Good Adra. I think kids these days getting social with the other gender doesn't happen enough, but even so...

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

What Adra?

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Okay I now am gonna go devise howvto kill Edward! I owe him a kick to the balls for indirectly hurting Niccolò *evil grin* Yup no see I think I could do this without Niccolò interfering either that or kill Adra...ah choices. Hopefuly he doesn't decide to pick in my mind then I probably will be in deep crap

Noelle said...

I didn't mean social.

I meant I thought that they were so close that they were about to start going at it on the dance floor....

BUT ANYWAY

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Also, hi Misti! I'm fine thanks, yourself?

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Hey Misti.

Noelle said...

No, just what you said about Zaf's description that her friend said.... Idk I was funny?


Zaf no one shall be killing me, ta

Got some uh... Weird fan fiction in there Zaf?

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

((zaf!! dont go killing edward or i'll be forced to role-play kill you!! i dont want to do that!!))

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Zaf, he can hear you. You know that, right? Also, Edward's already dead. And no killing Adra. Or anyone, really. Killing is, believe it or not, generally not a good way to solve problems.

While we're still somewhat on the topic, I'd like to thank you for ensuring that Aretha reached the Sanctuary.

Of course. I am friends with her and I wanted to make sure she was ok. *looks at him slightly smiling* You are very good at scaring me to death.
