It's Sunday evening, I'm about to go watch Dexter, and I thought it'd be a nice way to spend a blog post by showing you a few pics of the glorious junk I have in my house.
First of all, this is a cat (Pooper) who has just discovered that the small sitting room has been housing a rather large snake for the past few weeks, while Laura and her sister try to figure out what to do with it. Pooper, as you can see, is quite wary.
It was at this point that I started taking random shots of the room, and a thought occurred to me: "Aha!" this thought said. "I have your new blog post!"
I'll give a proper guided tour of my house at some later stage — probably once my extension is built — but for the moment, here is what greets you when you walk through my front door....
Naturally I have the posters for the movies I've written on prominent display...
... and of course I have what EVERYONE has in their halls: a severed foot in a glass case.
Now then, to the office!
I'm not going to show you the ACTUAL office (the ACTUAL office is really very messy at this moment in time) so I'm going to show you some of the things I have on the shelves. Such as these gentlemen...
Plus a little Evil Dead...
... and some Marvel folk hanging around...
And let us not ignore Star Wars...
... or zombies...
And here, tucked away on their own little shelf, Skulduggery and Vampirella. Just chillin'.
(That Skulduggery is a pretty rare promotional item my German publishers had made... It's not for sale anywhere except MAYBE eBay.)
And now, to the main living room. I'm not gonna show you everything, but this is the room I had designed and rebuilt as a live-in museum. The extension, if I ever get around the designing it, will be built specifically to house this stuff. Because it makes me happy.
And here it is, the suit I love to talk about... as worn by Christopher Reeve.
I do NOT dress up in this. I swear I don't.
Although if someone wanted to photoshop my head onto this mannequin, I would not object.

(( hey jub jub... i am in a cell, being bored to death by Para Javier.))
(( Yeah lol WHERE'S MEVOLENT WHEN YOU NEED IT.

((I'll be on by 5:30pm i have drama tomorrow more 1800's dancing so assume me near Niccolò unless Ari vanishes tomorrow too! Then assume me near you))
(((Hello...?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm here! I'm practising walking in heels and a bikini... It's not that hard...
((Or night, both of you.
#ChaseForBook9
Hello Death!
...apparently I can't wear heels.
#ChaseForBook9
Night guys *poofs*
*Waves* I'm distant. Sorry. My heels make my legs look amazing!!
Night Zaf!
Okay, Death [waves]
#ChaseForBook9
I really want to take a picture of me right now and put it up... But I am in a bikini...
((Sorry for distance))
I should probably say something.

*Screws up face*
You should try to sleep, Fabulous. I slept four hours last night...
((So I just got home- I had my brother's confirmation- and when we were driving up my street we saw these 4 huge trucks with reflectors and lights flashing all over, and this smoky fog was everywhere, and I was genuinely afraid that my house was on fire. Very badly on fire. Luckily, the trucks were only there to erase the yellow lines on the road. But it was kind of terrifying. I started making a mental list of all the things I really really didn't want to burn... A book from 1806, a second edition clothbound collection of Charles Dickens, all the pens and parchment and books (some of which can not be replaced), a bunch of other awesome and/or irreplaceable things... And I know they're just objects, so they're really not that important, (the books totally are, though- I mean, seriously. 1806!!) but they're important. And of course while I was making the list, once I got past the book from 1806 (which was the first thing), I started thinking about Tesla. Because there was this one time when the fire department called him in the middle of the night and he rushed over to his lab in his pajamas just to watch it burn to the ground. And that was his life. Every contribution he'd made to the world was somewhere in there. And it wasn't like he just had heaps of money to blow replacing it all. It was literally everything to him. And now I just want to hug him even more than I usually do, which is a lot...))
#ChaseForBook9
((I'm just going to go cry now...))
#ChaseForBook9
It's only 7pm here, not time for sleeping yet!
[hugs] I hope you get more sleep tonight...

(("I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success . . . Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything."
And it just all burned...))

((*hugs back* Heh. Sorry. Don't mind my crying over people who died many years ago...))
#ChaseForBook9
*Hugs Ari tightly* It's okay... I've had one of those frightful moments... *Hugs tighter*
I'm going to have a shower, okay? Be safe! *Huggles everyone and vanishes*
((I mean, it doesn't really bother me because of me... Like, it was scary for a bit, but I'm used to being way more afraid than that. I just feel really really bad for Tesla... Like, darn it... I mean, can I just... *reaches through time and hugs him*
Thanks, though... *hugs tightly back*))

See you, Deathy! [hugs]

((Hey at least you cry over people who existed. I cry over Augustus Waters and Will Herondale and Fred Weasley))
((*sobs* okay I'm going now))
((And I do believe the Doctor was quoting Shakespeare often... So the joke was that Shakespeare got his ideas from- virtually- himself. So... Idk?
I hated ALWAYS how people undermine Dickens. My baby. That and Poe, poor guy... :(
And Van Gogh. AH. THAT KILLS ME ))
((*actually leaves*))
((Um, no. I cry even more often about people who don't exist. Because Tesla mostly makes me happy but this one fictional character... Just, no... I mean, it'd be really nice if I could be this obsessed with, like, an actual currently living person so I could actually tell them... You know, maybe meet them or at least do something maybe even remotely useful in their life... I've already accepted that I can't, though, so... Really, at this point, you can just ignore me. I'm just ranting now.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Night, Adra [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
((It still really bugs me. Sorry.
((And I like Doctor Who, don't get me wrong, but that episode was only good once I pretended it wasn't Shakespeare.))
#ChaseForBook9
((I agree with you on the Shakespeare thing, actually. It did irritate me in that episode, though I don't love him as much as you do. I should do more research on him, actually.))

Derek, I was re-reading your books so i could read LSODM with a fresh recap of the story.... and i realised in book one.. there's a chapter called: "the last stand of" and its the chapter where the elders die....
I hope that LSODM does not have anything to do with what happened in that chapter.
Before I leave, I need to dedicate the page. Right.
I dedicate this page to rainbows and colorful things. And to uniqueness and variety. And to you. Because you're really special, and I'd be writing a speech about you if I was in a better place right now.
The page that was going to be an animation is dedicated to long speeches. Mainly because I didn't have time to write one.
Until we meet again
Fabienne Vi. S.

*Cheers for Fabi's ded*
okay, picture this (first you have to know that the "step" in question is the size of two normal steps):
you go to jump a huge "step", but your foot slips and you face-plant the ground (cement) and broose from your knee to your ankle.
hear hear, fab!
Ehhhhh.... There's a Aussie Black spider in my underwear on the clothes line!!! *Cries*
WHAT DO I DO!?
*huggles deathy*
EVIL SPIDER!!!
in other news: i am talking to 40 grade 6's later about what high-school is like.
I DONT KNOW!!
Fly Spray it??
*Hugs back* Sounds like fun...
BUT ITS MASSIVE!! ITS LIKE BIGGER THAN A 50 CENT COIN !

Driving past my old school is depressing :/

Oh, what a nerd!
I llllove it and I´m soooo jealous!!
Nice greets from a German fan...
*walls around the Palace, humming "500 Miles"*
*shadow walks on*
Yo.
Holidays soooooooooooon. :3
*sits on Mevolent's throne and waits for lunch*
*realizes how adorable it is that Trip and Adra found each other in the other universe as well*
*dies*
*I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU*
*dies again*
((Ships Tadra.
((Really can't be here...sorry. :-(
#ChaseForBook9
SOMEONE SPOILERED LSODM UP THERE.
*tries not to cry because that would just be stupid and selfish* *fails*
In other news . . . There was a daddy-long-legs on the floor in PE and I tried to stop these two people stamping on it, but they did anyway, so I argued at the girl (because she was arguing back and the boy just kind of wandered off).
Second time I've had a go at a bitch over insect death recently. Last time, I won, and this time, we had to stop and that ended it, but although I won one battle and drawed another, I'm essentially losing the war, because both the jnsects ended up dead . . . :(
RIP, insects. I'm sorry I didn't do more for you.
And yet there's people dying all over the world, and I could probably help some of them in some way, and I'm not . . .
I'm sorry. :'( Although I don't even know why I say that. Sorry won't bring you alive.
Like Hunter was saying today. "You're always sorry. You think sorry makes it all better? Sorry doesn't do anything."
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Star*
Trip isnt even here and you ship it lol :3
@Adra: *hugs* :)
Tadra is very shippable. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Tadra is cute...
But it's no Chemerald ;)
Btw - the two bitches I had a go at weren't bitches because they killed insects (I don't hold that against them much, as they didn't really understand about the whole taking-a-life thing. I was arguing to make them understand. I failed). They were bitches because they were bitches. Rhe fact they also killed insects is just coincidence. Actually, it isn't, really. You'd expect the people who don't understand why cruelty to hymans is bad to be the ones who don't understand why cruelty to insects is bad.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Em: *hugs* No. Nothing is Chemerald except Chemerald. That's why they call it Chemerald. ;)
#ChaseForBookNine
((Wow. This is quiet. Aren't there usually more comments by now?))
#ChaseForBook9
((Oh, also, Adra, if you're still here, can you tell me exactly what's going on right now with me and Niccolò? BEcause I know people were talking about us in the roleplay, but I'm really not sure where we're supposed to be...))
#ChaseforBook9
Hello everyone! :)
hello all
Hey Ari. :)
Btw, my friend C was just as outraged at the letter about unauthorised absence as I was. :) Except, you know, she didn't burst into tears. XD
She pointed out this:
"If your request is declined and you take your child out of school for ten unauthorised absence sessions, the Local Authority advises that each parent/carer in the household will be issued with a £60.00 penalty notice for each child taken out of school. If the penalty notice remains unpaid after 21 days, it will increase to £120.00"
C pointed out how if you live with your grandparents, that's £480.00. It's disgusting. -_-
Ooh, shall I type out the bit that traumatised me?
"Your request for your child's absence from school must fall in to one of the following catehories to be authorised. Withour evidence the Head of School will not authorise your request:
1. Service personnel returning from a tour of duty abroad where it is evidenced the individual will not be in receipt of any leave in the near future that coincides with school holidays.
2. Where an absence from school is recommended by a health professional as part of a parent or child's rehabiliation from a medical or emotional issue.
3. The death or terminal illness or a person close to the family.
4. To attend a wedding or funeral of a persob close to the family.
If a request meets the above exceptional circumstancea but falls within the following times, the Head of School must be convinced that absence from the school is the only option:
1) The first half term of any academic year (applies to all students)
2) Year 9 options time (for students in Year 9)
3) At any time during Years 10 and 11 (for all students in these year groups)
4) At any further times as specified by the school"
What the hell.
You know, sending out letters like these which triggers people like me to cry for half a lesson doesn't really help us learn, does it?
#ChaseForBookNine
(( [hugs everyone]
(( Still can't be here...
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Star*
WHY IS IT SO QUIET IN HERE????
*hugs Fabi*
*hugs Mith*
Thanks. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
You sounded like you needed a hug, Star! HI btw^^
I'm back
@Em- ofc :3
Ari: Uhm... WELL. I pretended to be Au Adra, and Javier thought I was actually her. And... Now I'm sitting on Mevolent's throne?
Yeah but no, Tadra is precious
Uh-oh... *hides*
(I would say hi to you, Adra, but you still have to get your revenge, so...)
((*coughs on Mith*
I'm sick.))
*looks out of her hiding place* That means... no revenge?
*coughs violently on Mith*
You know I won't get sick as well, don't you?
*hides again*
*is doing RS homework* Spellcheck didn't recognise the word 'mephedrone'. :O
#ChaseForBookNine
What???
I won't get sick when you cough at me, Adra. That's what I meant.
And I just realised that you probably were talking about Stars comment and not about mine... just ignore me, ok?
Tomorrow I'll play GTA IV when I get home from college with my friend who just bought a PS3.
He thinks he's good at driving, but he's never seen me so... I'll probably win. His confidence will be his undoing. We're working together anyway against the police so it won't matter, I'll just go ahead of the convoy.
I have also convinced him to buy Mass Effect. But he says he'll buy GTA V first.
But I have a Geth Juggernaut mwhahahahahaha.
Why not though/?
Mith, I started writing the 5th chapter, sorry, I was being selfish not starting it earlier.
Adra, you're talking to me or to Star? Sorry, just want to be sure ;)
Chione, you're not selfish at all!!! Take you as much time as you need!
YOU, MITH! WHY CAN MY DISEASED COUGH NOT GET YOU SICK
*grins* Because we're in blogland and I can say that I won't get sick :P
What if I injected you with a deadly pathogen?
You wouldn't do that, because very deep in your heard you love me too much to kill me. Well, at least I hope so...
Oh come on! Seriously? *sighs* Great first comment...
*laughs*
*msd!*
I dedicate this page to Adra who won't kill me.
I dedicate this page to Ember who will hopefully come on today.
I dedicate this page to Mithcroft because it's awesome.
I dedicate this page to Glee, because I love this TV show.
And I dedicate this page to me never getting along with facebook.
THE END
I'll eh...finish writing that. Our characters come into this one :)
NOOO! I forgot something in the ded! I wanted to ded to Chione's fanfiction!!!
Nah, better without it :)
(( Sorry if this is getting annoying, but I really need to sneak back in, hug people and sneak away again.
(( [Does so]
#ChaseForBook9
((You can add to the ded as an afterthought. I've done that rather a lot.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs FABIII*
((*hugs Fabi back* It's fine, Fabi! No one minds. :)
ADRASDOS DARK. I have to go soon, and I may or may not be here again for several hours, so I thought I should tell you, I posted your chapter. And I fully expect to recieve Tadra in return. *glares*))
#ChaseForBook9
Btw Mith, your characters are evil :)
I'm evil? YEAH! *grins* I always wanted to be evil xD
Mwahaha! Now I'm even more curious :P
You're welcome? :3
When me and my friend were walking through town today we saw something hilarious.
There was a guy, middle-aged maybe, carrying a Bible and wearing a furry Russian hat, and he was like, "THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING. FIRE WILL RAIN DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS. LET JESUS SHOW YOU THE PATH TO THE LIGHT."
Me and my friends started laughing. I didn't think those kind of people existed, only in like alien films or disaster films.
I can now say I have seen a Creepy-Christian-Preacher-Apocalypse-Guy.
*ticks that off his list of things to do in his life*
Anyone?
*shakes head and laughs*
Oh god... those people do really exist? I mean, I am Catholic but I don't really believe in things like apocalypse and stuff...
Yes! I couldn't believe it. They DO exist.
Maybe he was some sort of crazed psycho Christian who wanted to scare people. I just ended up laughing.
If the zombies come, though - I'm ready. And I'm getting a tank. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.
There are always people who read the bible out in Glasgow :-/
Mbd, watching Glee videos on youtube^^
I don't think he was reading the Bible... well, it was closed in any case. He was just waving it around at people. But he was saying stuff about heaven and Jesus and fire and death and all sorts. Crazy guy.
The Police came and told him to shut up and move along. Which didn't help me laughing.
My zombie apocalypse plan so far consists of stealing a car and driving through unpopulated areas to the nearest army base and stealing a tank.
And then blast the crap out of zombies. It's a pretty awesome plan.
My progression of weapons will start like this - fire poker, axes, hammer and a few knives... then maybe to a shotgun (there's lots of farmers), then to something like a sub-machine gun once I get to the army base (preferably the MP5A3 but I'm not fussy), then just arm myself to the teeth with guns and stuff and then steal a tank with a cannon and a 50cal machine gun.
I already KNOW how to use them.
Well, I don't know how to drive a tank but it won't be that hard. But I know how to use guns. Quite well, in fact.
