[Facepalms]
I reuse the same names too much.
#ChaseForBook9
do you??????????????????????????????????????
i guess i do to.
How do you mean?
Alia (Mantha's given name, an alias of one of the Fabi's)
Judith (Fabi used as an alias before Judith the seperate character appeared. I actually hadn't noticed this)
Julia/Julian/Julianne (Liz's given name was Julia in this other story. J.A. is short for Julianne, and I have another character named Julian)
Those are the most obvious ones...
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, that's what you mean
Alright.
Cool. *hugs*
[hugs Adra]
#ChaseForBook9
*She sits up, carefully moving to her lab, where she reminds herself to don her leather jacket and flats* To hell with this...
*she sighs, looking at herself in the mirror, thinking about who she is, and who she was*
From the girl who spend her days in a frozen basement beneath a warm house in Estonia, beaten almost every day.
Trapped in the Revolution in France, imprisoned but let go.
Left behind in England all those years ago.
Drowned in a frozen lake in Moscow.
Hell, fought in the First World War, and taken in the second.
Time and time again, Adra, you always seem to find yourself in hell. Talk about bad luck, woman.
*she glares at her reflection* It's annoying.
You're annoying.
Quit doing this.
*covers her mirror up and goes to sit down*
((I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I love/hate hearing about Adra's past.))
((It's so dark, but at the same time really interesting to read.))
#ChaseForBook9
((I might suddenly pop off...))
*she hears a knock at her door, then pounding. The stone wall begins to fracture and she dashes to her room, sitting it, and quickly making up a portal, dashing through*
*It shuts behind her just as a crowd of angry, screaming men and women raid the lab*
((AWH, thank you Fabi! I love exploring it as well, so interest begets interest, I suppose,
But thank you!! :) ))
((I might go, actually... Night babe! *hugs* Sleep well, when you do!))
((Bye... [hugs]))
((Sleep well. :-) ))
#ChaseForBook9
(( RIGHT HELLO!!! I AM GONNA DO SOME STUFF ON SNOW'S TREE PLOT!!!))
((Snow! Help! My brain has the worst plot twist yet! Except at the same time it's also the best. But I HATE IT. I HATE IT. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH))
#ChaseForBook9
(( NAWWWW!!!!! *hugs* YOU ROCKEVEN IF YOUR BRAIN IS EVIL!))
*snow, yet again, is swinging around in the trees, taping them then moving on*
((Aw, thanks [hugs]))
((Seriously, though. I HATE IT.))
((I might write it up anyway to see if I can get some good reactions, though. We'll see.))
#ChaseForBook9
(( EMBRACE THE EVIL. even if you hate it. someone will love it. heck, i will love it.))
*seeming satisfied, she jumps down and strolls over to a mound of boulders that have, over the last few days, mysteriously appeared in blogland. she taps certain spots on certain rocks and a secret passage opens up*
*glancing around to make sure no one is watching, she quickly slips inside*
*the entrance seals behind her*
((I'll write it as an alternate ending, if I have time.))
#ChaseForBook9
(( KAY))
(([Sits back, watching Snow's plot and writing furiously]))
#ChaseForBook9
*muttering to herself as she descends the stairs* i wish i had thought to install an elevator...
*as she finally reaches the bottom, lights switch on, illuminating a vast cavern filled with computers and screens monitoring blogland*
*she smiles slightly to herself as she walks over to a corner where a small kitchen is placed*
*Snow sets the kettle boiling and finds a mug and some tea bags*
[Walks into Blogland, looking around]
((Don't feel obligated to interact with her, she's looking for Liz. If you want to come and join in, though, you can.))
#ChaseForBook9
(( na. i might just observe them from the monitors. you will love my plot once you know more))
*see's effie strolling around as she sits down with her cup of tea*
*decides to watch her*
[Pulls out a crumpled scrap of paper and double-checks it]
[Scans for shrubberies or green boxes]
((I should probably tell you now... I'm uncomfortable with the idea of people monitoring Blogland like that... I am, and as a result, my characters are really...private. I'm not asking you to stop, I'm sure it's a lovely plot, but if my reactions to parts aren't as enthusiastic as you had hoped, that may be the underlying reason.))
#ChaseForBook9
(( i understand some will hate it. just wait for a minute. somethings about to happen.... >:D))
*on another monitor, snow see's a flicker of movement*
*she smiles* now, thats why i set this up. this'll be fun...
[Finds the green box and knocks on it]
Hello?
((I don't hate it, per se, but I do sort of feel like it detracts from the safe-feeling of Blogland. Again, you don't have to do anything about that.))
#ChaseForBook9
(( it'll work out fine. dont worry. i have plans. *smiles evilly* the safe feeling will be re-instated))
*snow quickly flips the power off and runs up the stairs, really wishing for an elevator*
*she bounds out the exit and runs towards where she'd seen the movement*
[Sits up]
Effie?
Do you see a tracker-gadget thing anywhere?
#ChaseForBook9
*she burst through the tree-line and looks around.*
*nothing*
*cursing under her breath, she runs off in a random direction, looking*
*she stops, lost.*
*cursing again she mutters to herself* this is why i need these god forsaken things. and they dont even work. *she kicks one of the tree's she'd been working with*
i... *shakes her head and storms off into the trees, trying to find a way out*
(( and with that, i must go!! bye fabiiiiII!!!! ))
[Finds the tracker and taps it on the box]
[The box disappears, and Effie rushes in and slaps Liz]
Don't you dare do anything like that ever again. You have no idea how much danger you're putting her in. If anyone, anyone figures out...
#ChaseForBook9
((Bye...))
#ChaseForBook9
I'm not an idiot, Effie. I owe you a lot of favors, remember? Helping save your friend and former student while you deal with matters in St. Petersburg isn't that unusual.
Effie: Fine. Just don't slip up.
Liz: Oh, believe me. I won't. [Neglects to mention that Ioux already knows]
[Effie and Liz both disappear]
#ChaseForBook9
CUZ YOU'RE A ZOMBIE,
A ZOMBIE GIRL
I have a habit of entering with song lyrics...
hello...?
my mother is disturbing.
she is playing "candy crush saga" and she just muttered under her breath "i will kill you"
H-h-h-h-hello
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey duck
i am worried about my mothers mental health.
Yes, candy crush and ruin people....
It's quite sad really.
but... really... "i will kill you"?
You can't really kill candy, can you? Maybe you should just take her phone off her one day abd delete the game.
Maybe she was telling the future and wants to kill you for deleting candy crush?
:O
psychic.
:O
What if PSY was a girl, then she would be PSYchic!
:O
I have to go now.
My phone battery is running EXCRUSIATINGLY low now!
ALLONS-Y
GOOD BYE DUCKTOR
The penguin caper
by penguin
Last week, when I was penguining in the penguin, a penguin penguin came in through my open window. To my surprise the penguin immediately jumped on the penguin and bounced right over the penguin, knocking over the glass of penguin that I had poured earlier.
The penguin then ran into the penguin where it over turned the penguin that was sitting on the penguin.
After penguin minutes of chasing the penguin through the house I finally caught it and put it outside. The penguin quickly climbed the nearest penguin.
The End
(GOOD BYE)
Hey, guys.
So, I haven't been able to sleep well, got maybe three hours of sleep. And that's because I was thinking of Em. Does anyone have *any* news about her?
Get well soon, Em!
She's fine. It's always okay to be worried, but never to let it interfere with your life- especially, you know, someone that you don't know really at all.
So don't be worked up about it
Mr.Derek Landy...I am from South Africa ANd Im coming to Dublin..Im A giant Fan ANd I have ALL the books of Skulduggery Pleasant .It would be a honor to meet you ^-^"
Buses sliding, people sliding, yet here i am fucking in school.
Quit using that word, woman. You've worn it out
Okay.
I remember when I was a little ten, eleven-year-old on the internet for the first time. "Hi, I'm Adrasdos Dark! I'm realy random CHOCOLATE BANANAS lol c WhUt I mean?"
You guys.
I have seen hell
Mmmhmm whatever
Well the closest school to us is out early
Yaaay going home in 45min
Hey people
Help.
I've had a REALLY crap day, and I know I've said this three times already this week, but yeahhh . . .
I had the worst emotions breakdown I've ever had in German. It lasted for approximately an hour (it was a double period). My teacher was being horribly bad at teaching us anything. I got angry. -_-
It started off a bit like a panic attack, and I was doing really odd breathing, and then I thought I was going to pass out (probably because of not breathing properly), and then I was just crying and laughing and having trembling breathing (like when you laugh and cry it sort of trembles) and I had a headache and this basically continued for an hour. At our little break in the middle of the double period I was literally just jumping up and down in the corridor because I felt like it. :P It sort of became sadder the longer in continued. It was really hard to break out of because every time I tried to calm down and focus on the lesson, I'd get anrgy at what a crap lesson it was and it'd set me off again. At one point, I was just being stared at by all my nearby classmates. D: When we finally did some work, which none of us knew how to do because we didn't know anything, I could hardly concentrate and then I was just basically trying to do it whilst shaking and crying. I think Miss eventually (gosh, it only took an hour. -_- I swear, I hate it when I have a bad moodswing in lessons and start crying and barely anyone notices, if anyone notices at all. The person next to me usually realises. That's it. I get so mad, because if I was really upset for a really valid reason, how crap would it be to have no one care?), and she did half my work for me (not that I understood what she'd done. Again, I learnt nothing), and yeah . . .
I feel sorry for my friend sitting next to me. :P
But anyway . . . I was crying at other intervals during the day because of my book I was reading this morning being sad (um. Yes. OH MY GOSH THOUGH IT SO WAS), and I was cyring in history because the topic was sad, and I just felt generally sad because my German emotional breakdown ended on a low note, and . . . yeah. :)
TBC
MY GERMAN TEACHER, THOUGH, IS SO CRAP. Basically, she gives us loads of vocab sheets, tells us to learn the vocab on them, and then expects us to know how to say everything. We had to start writing our assessment questions today, and -
Friend: But we haven't even learnt anything on this topic!
Me: You don't NEED to do about the topic! As long as you know how to structure sentences, you can just look up words and then adjust them accordingly!
I swear . . . none of us know how to conjugate verbs, none of us know how to make things negative, none of us know where to put the adjectives, none of us know anything with comparatives or anything and none of us know what the verb looks like in its different forms or anything. She hasn't taught us any tenses (although, you know, I can do past and future from previous years).
So far this year, we've been taught all that and more in French.
If you give me a dictionary or a suitable equivalent and something to write about, I can happily natter on for over a page. I natter on for a page every week in French. My friend has the same French teacher as me, and in her lesson, the teacher put my answers on the board as examples and said they were, like, the best she's ever seen (that's what my friend said . . .)
My friend knew it was mine because she saw me talking about the cake I'd made with Fabi, you know, the paragraph where I lied (I rarely lie, haha), and apparently Miss showed all my questions but zoomed in on that one (Fabi, you're special! :)), and she knew it was mine coz I'd said about it, and yeah . . .
My point is . . . why can I do so much better in French? I don't try harder. I don't do any more extra work. In fact, I try and do extra work in German, so I can actually LEARN something!
I can do well in French because I've been taught.
In German, we get ranted at, match up pictures to writing (which requires knowing a few ket words), get handed vocab sheets, and read out scripts.
I swear, I was so angry when she just gave us vocab sheets and just said we needed to learn them and if we didn't we'd fail and it was up to us.
You can TELL how angry I was because I had an hour-long emotional breakdown. Relentless. Worst ever.
Gahhhh . . .
So my day has been CRAP. C:
How's everyone else?
#ChaseForBookNine
*I rarely lie in French
*I can natter on for a page in French
*see, I can do so much in French
*I can't natter in German and I can't lie in German because in order to lie you'd have to know how to speak/write -_-
#ChaseForBookNine
*surprise hugs* Hey, Star!
We used to have a HORRIBLE French teacher in yr 7 and 8, Mrs Key was her name. She gave us vocab sheets and all. Despite boring lessons, she was still actually you know, teaching, instead of just being there.
Thankfully, yr 8-12 Spanish teachers were better than this French teacher, I can still understand you.
So bless you, Star, and good luck with your German course!
@Tia: Thanks. :) :) :) *hugs*
*is happily using the internet to try and understand German*
*surprises the surprise hug with a . . . surprise*
#ChaseForBookNine
Morning.
I don't care if it's not morning for any of you.
I can't shake the feeling that it's worse than it looks/feels.
I'm not even sure what I mean by "it."
#ChaseForBook9
...Hey. Feel like shit atm so wbd. How are you all?
Hey Fabi! And yes, I think you're right.
Hey, Rhydian! Feeling about the same.
[hugs Star]
[hugs Rhydian]
[hugs Tia]
[hugs anyone who reads this and wants a hug, too]
#ChaseForBook9
Gracious, so many people are down today... *hugs them all*
*hugs everyone*
Sorry about that entrance......Just...personal stuff
Hi Adra! How are you?
Hey Tia! You alright?
I'm okay- not totally psyched about flying into DC before Pensacola :0 I'm more than certain that my brothers and I are going to get stuck there.
*slow claps for her dad*
[hugs Adra]
My left arm is completely okay. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: I was just about to say something along those lines. :)
I'm okay now, though, because I'm doing something positive to solve my strong upsetness anger. I think that makes me feel better . . . *notes that down in my mental notes*
I need to stop learning German soon, though, because I have French to do and English to learn . . .
*hugs Rhydian* :(
Um. Do something definite to work against your emotions? Working for me. :)
@Fabi: :( *hugs* Everything's worse than it looks, but it's better than it looks, to. It depends on how you look at it (like, metaphorically), and on what you see when you look at it (as in, what you get from the situation).
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: Thanks........Just cba anymore. Just want everyone to disappear. (School and family and society. Not Blogland and you guys.)
I'm just depressed. I'm sure it'll pass.
Hey Adra! *hugs*
I'm just depressed. I'm sure it'll pass.
Hey Adra! *hugs*
WELL.
Howabout.
Instead of all being sad and focusing on that,
we do something fun?
Hi im here but msd dismissal is in roughly 2-6min we are waiting on buses
Ok Adra.......Not sure though. Just want to go into a fucking coma!
I'm happy we get out early due to snow...it kept snowing they finally decided to dismiss at noon but its already noon so....we're going to be late getting out i bet 12:05pm
(Feel free to ignore me. Being a dickhead)
I'm cheerfully writing a murder scene. Does that count?
#ChaseForBook9
Er, I don't think a coma would be helpful. When you wake up, I think it would be the same as when you fell asleep?
Yeah Fabi, thats awesome
Good point Adra....Just want certain people from society to f*** off!
Fabi, link please. And no spoilers :)
Btw Adra great post on the Nameless blog!!!!
*whispers* Thank you Rhydian
And yeah, story of my life
I think I may talk to my friend...Personal stuff going on and she's only one of two who know so, seems logical to talk to her. Mbd
Alright-
@Rhydian: :(
And - talking to her might help. :) Also, distractions. *nods* If I start focusing on the things that make me emotional, I just get emotional again, sooo . . .
@Tia: :(
@Zaf: . . . Okay, just casually ignore us. :)
@Adra: Good idea. :) I have homework, though, plus I'm trying to learn German (I think I'm understanding it, and if I keep going over it, I'll learn it :)). sooo . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
It's part of a longer project, so I'll put it on Nameless when the whole thing is done.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm learning German to myself... Woop.
YAY! I can't wait, Fabs
Guys.....There's something I want to tell you...Dunno how you're gonna take it but I believe it needs to be said coz only two people know and I don't think I can keep this secret for too much longer. When I say it I'll delete the comment immediately.....Or would email be better?
Um... Do what you want?
@Rhydian: This is a really crap answer but - what Adra said?
I personally find commenting and deleting easier, but I'm me. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Whichever makes you more comfortable [hugs Rhyd]
#ChaseForBook9
Aw, dammit. Question 21 is "Have you ever lived anywhere else?"
*facepalm*
I've already talked about where I used to live before in great detail . . .
I only have five questions to do today, though. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Er........Well
Never mind. I...just don't feel comfortable about this. Friend encouraged me to tell people, and I shall chicken out! Maybe another time
Take your time, Rhyd *hugs*
I've lived places. Four different houses. Well. Six, technically.
What, you think we'll discriminate against you? Dude, you're Rhydian. Lewis. We still love you *cuddles*
Thanks........*hugs Adra* Just people can be judgemental. Scared lol. *hugs*
I'm sorry- my class is starting. I must go *hugs all*
Of course you're still a friend, Rhydian! [hugs]
Msd.
#ChaseForBook9
((WEll we aren't, so *hugs*))
Kk Adra!
*hugs Moss* thanks :) Glad :)
People have a stupid instinct programmed into their brains that anyone and anything different from what they're used to is bad.
I could rant about that for ages, but I probably won't.
Bye Adra! [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
@Rhydian: Of course we're still friends. :) I know multiple gay/lesbian/bisexual Bloglandians, and that's fine. :) The only bad thing about being gay is that society can think it's a bad thing, and that isn't really anything wrong with the gayness itself. Society sucks. :)
Last time I wrote a comment like this, I pointed out that it was way better than being a vampire, because unlike if you were turned into a vampire, you're the same person you've always been. You've been gay ever since you were born. You're the same person. Why would we suddenly hate you? It's not like you've become someone else who we hate. You're still the person we don't hate. :)
Whereas if you were a vampire, you would be different, and we could quite easily hate you because we'd think that you weren't you anymore, and that you were just, like . . . someone else using your body, and plus you would be worrying about the fact that you ARE different, and wondering if you can trust your thoughts, and . . . becoming a vampire just sucks, basically. :)
. . . No pun intended.
(I'm serious, btw.)
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Fabi* :(
I know.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Rhydian: *hugs* It makes no difference to me, at all. I feel like it shouldn't to anybody else, either. You're still you, you're still perfect. :)
People can be judgmental, but the fact is that there's no reason for it. You're human and you have every right to be you, and anybody who has some stupid ideas against that right is, in general, not worth listening to, on the matter. Whatever part of society says or makes it a negative thing is a sucky part of society.
You rule. :)
(Also I haven't been ghosting or stalkering or anything, I just came on. :P)
(and wbd, because revision and trying to understand nuclear physics-y things. )
#ChaseFOrBook9
Rhydian, some people might discriminate. I won't.
*hugs Star* Thanks.....And epic speech :)
Yeah...my friend is really great to talk to :) and now I think I should tl my other friends but...dunno how SOME of them will react. And word will spread like wildfire probably abd I really don't want EVERYONE to.know so...
*hugs Taia* thanks
*hugs Tia* cheers :)
*hugs everyone tightly* Thanks everyone...... :)
@Taia: That speech was awesomeness. :)
@Rhydian: You should be selective about who you tell, because people you trust might tell people they trust, who might tell people they trust, and sooner or later someone untrustworthy will know and will tell people. The whole school knowing you be bad, because from my experience, people at school can be very judgemental and will often make fun of people just for the enjoyment of it. -_-
Brb. Shaking like mad dunno why
*would be bad
Not you be bad. :P
You be good. :)
Taiaaaa you know how I was saying that good is an odd word?
That's because oddness is good. :)
*grins triumphantly at my proof of my weird-is-good theory*
#ChaseForBookNine
Discriminate? No that doesn't sound right. I just think that what you do is *your* business, and you have rights, same as everyone else.
@Rhydian: Oh. :( Have you leant on a nerve funny or something?
#ChaseForBookNine
@Tia: Yes. :)
And people have lefts as well as rights. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Ok...? That was just so weird. Just started shaking for no reason. Maybe the idea of people knowing. I really don't handle stress well :/
I kinda missed what happened...*shrugs* guess it isnt that big
Didn't miss much Zaffy!
Good advice btw Starry!!!!
@Zaf: Sometimes, small things can be important. Like my friend. She's small, and she's important. :P
. . . Sorry, just had to get that in there. XD The constant height criticisms that my tall friend frequently makes to my small friend are rubbing off on me. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Rhydian: Thanks. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hullo.
Is there anyone currently online?
Brb
I suppose not.
"The world is bigger than you know and scarier than you might imagine. The only currency worth anything is being true to yourself, and the only goal worth seeking is finding out who you truly are." - Skulduggery Pleasant book 1.
Ah, hullo, Halcyon.
If I had a lot of money, what house would I buy?
. . . If I had a lot of money, I would be a really big house and invite all my online friends to come live in it with me! :)
. . . Actually, realistically, I wouldn't. You all have to live your own lives. I mean, none of you HAVE lives, but maybe you'd have found one each by them. I think some of you would have. Perhaps. I definitely won't have. XD
I wouldn't want to live in a really big house, because it would be more expensive to maintain and I could do better things with my money. LIKE VISTING MY ONLINE FRIENDS!
*nods*
But I wouldn't have a small house. I would have one with a big bedroom for me, so that I had more space to fill with junk, as I have a lot of junk. But not tons of cupboards, because my mum says that if you have a cupboard, you fill it, and it would be better if I had less cupboards, more space, and less junk. I know I'm just planning to fill my bedroom with junk, but that's useful junk like random sheets of paper. Cupboards just tend to be filled with things you can't be bothered to get rid off.
Oh yeah.
*goes to write that in French*
*or try to*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey, Annika! *hugs*
And Star is here as well! Hullo, Star.
I apologize about my profile picture, but I've been in an Oscar-y mood of late.
Star! I want Gordon's mansion. The real thing.
Or rent a room in Derek Landy's mansion, and sneak out while he's sleeping to read what he's written during the day.
@Tia: That is an awesome quote. :)
Hi Annika! :)
And - I had an hour-long emotional breakdown this morning in which I could barely function, and I've come home and cried three days this week for no reason (like laughing for no reason. Which I do a lot). Being unemotional can be a good thing. XD
I say that every positive quality cannot exist without a negative one, and that you have to have the bad to have the good. I say this because it is true. If being unemotional is bad, then it must also be good. :)
And - you're the on most likely to be Loki? I worked out that I'm the one most likely to end up in an abusive relationship. XD
. . . Because I'm really forgiving and I always try and see the best in people and I believe that all negatives equal positives and that all people have the potential to be good if you work hard enough to change them and yeahhhh . . . :P
Being Loki is better! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I've often thought that, one day, when I am internationally best-selling author, as of course I will be, it would be lovely to invite all of the Blogland residents to a massive party at my Gordon Edgely-style mansion. We would all cosplay as our characters, of course, and we would have a Blogland-style adventure set up during the party, like what they do on a murder mystery cruise.
@Tia: NOW I WANT TO RENT A ROOM IN DEREK'S MUSEUM. I MEAN, HOUSE. XD
And Gordan's mansion has evil things beneath it in evil tunnels. How do I know they couldn't get up and attack me whilst I sleep? Or whilst I'm awake? Or whilst I'm doing neither?
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello everyone :) been quite a while! :O
#Chaseforbook9
I'm 5'1 I grew one inch
Ah, thank you for that, Star.
It's not my fault that I'm generally unemotional. I was simply born that way. That is the reason that I tend to write very flawed, very emotional, very angst characters. I have difficulty feeling things. I always figured people would distance themselves from me for that, which they have, but my few close friends apparently value me for my ability to remain calmly impartial, no matter what the situation.
But I'm still the Loki.
And there are worse things to be than the Loki.
*hugs Rhydian back* :)
@Rhydian: If you don't want everybody to know, that's fine. You have a right to privacy as much as anybody does, of course. It's your own business, not theirs.
People at school, I think, as well as what Star said about the dumb 'let's-be-judgmental-and-unreasonable' thing, but also that I think they can quite easily put one thing as a definition as something or someone. Putting one word to something as though it makes all the difference in the world, or just because it's a word that they don't get to apply to all people (kind of as Fabi said (when she said the thing that I agreed with though I don't think I said so, but I'm saying that now, so-), it's a different thing to what they might put to everybody - that doesn't mean it's a wrong thing, though). And that's what happens sometimes. But that word/s doesn't have to define you any more than any of the others which make up you. It's one part of a super-cool-awesome-machine-of-fun-Rhydian. Whether you directly share it with everybody or not. :)
Which maybe links to the 'it doesn't change you' part. And yeah. *nods*
@Star: Thank you. :)
And, *nods* Odd is VERY good, thus good, I suppose is an odd word.
But good isn't odd. Kind of. Like, good isn't the differering from usual, necessarily, because things can usually be good.
It's like... A chair is a seat. But a seat can be something other than a chair (like, idk, a sofa or a piece of plastic hanging from a tree branch, or the tree branch itself. Et cetera)...Kind of.
I don't remember what I was saying. But yes. Weird is good. *grins, too* :)
Also @Star: One the short friends thing, I get you, and I relate. xD
#ChaseForBook9
By the way, some girls plan their wedding incessantly, but I plan my house. It is one of my foremost goals in life, to achieve the house that is perfect for me. I have a whole document written up, a document that I am always editing, about what I plan to do with my house.
@Rhydian: did you tell everyone what I think you told them?
#chaseforbook9
"murder mystery cruise" Sign me up >:D
No, really, I want to meet Detective Pleasant and Detective Cain
And that sounds awesome, Annika! I'd love to meet you, all of you. Maybe, one day, we could at least meet at Derek' book signing?
Brb, makin sandwiches.
Well, I'm an Ameriminion. Visiting and/or moving to England or Ireland is on my bucket list. I would DEARLY love to meet Derek and have him sign a book, but I doubt it will ever happen.
*looks mournfully out of the blood-spattered window in her lair*
It is such a trial, being an Ameriminion.
Also sorry for long/slow comments.
Also HEY ZAFFY! *hugs*
Hi Annika! *hugs*
Hey Flora! *hugs
Actually, *pauses* *frowns*
... I didn't greet when I appeared, so, HEY EVERYBODY! *hugs all* :P
How are y'all? :)
Also very distant.
*pokes herself*
PHYSICS.
#ChaseForBook9
Physics.
Phyyyyyyyysics.
Physics physics physics physics physics physics PHYSICS.
. . . I hope you're all getting this down.
* (all of my greetings were supposed to be in caps. That was the mentality. My fingers didn't type it, but that's what I meant. :P )

#ChaseForBook9
I apologize. Your comment about physics reminded me of that Doctor Who quote.
@Annika: Yay for house, then! :) And, good luck getting to Derek. :/
@Taia: I agree with all of that speech. :)
And about the odd being good but not good being odd - that is because 'good' has an odd version of 'odd' in it ('ood'), so 'odd' is (sort of) in good, but 'good' isn't in 'odd', because it has a 'g' in it and stuffs. :)
*nods at my impeccable logic*
I DO THIS WITH WORDS SOMETIMES.
FLORA!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
@Tia: Meeting people at signings is amazing. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
My.
It got quiet.
Shall I sing a song?
Oh, look, Star has returned!
HEllO TAIA! LONG TIME NO SEE! How are you??
#chaseforbook9
I may go to Ireland this summer or next. I'm kinda hoping to but if I can't go for Book 9 whenever the new book comes out I'll go. I wanna go so baaad. I want to meet Derek so I may seriously go over and all. Em and NJ want to meet up and I know more Iriminions may meet me. If we travel to England as well I'd be happy
STARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! :D hellooooo!
also, hello everyone I haven't met before!
#chaseforbook9
@Annika: *laughs* I didn't get the quote, but I laughed anyway. And now it's a DW quote, it kind of seems even better. But it was good BEFORE I knew that. So, *cheers*. :P / :)
@Star: *hugs* :)
Your logic IS impeccable! Radifying! *grins*
@Annika: Songs are good. :3
#ChaseForBook9
Backsies!
RHYDIAN! *tacklehugs*
#chaseforbook9
(I am feeling Oscar-y, so I think I'll let HIM take this one.)
*puts on headphones*
*but not a sequined tuxedo jacket*
*so he doesn't look as fantastic as Precocious*
If I retreat
Words, wars, and symphonies
Make room we're taking over here
So the gallanting
Cold and alone, it suits you well
You won't find me perching here again
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to Hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts, colder songs
They will play us out
With a song of pure romance
Stomp your feet and clap your hands
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
May your feet serve you well
And the rest be sent to Hell
Where they always have belonged
Cold hearts, colder songs
They will play us out
With a song of pure romance
Stomp your feet and clap your hands
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
Kill tonight!
Show them all you're not the ordinary type
Let's kill tonight!
*pulls off the headphones*
*sighs*
I really am a dreadful singer.
FLORA! IKR. It's good to see you, of coursely. :)
I'm doing good, thanks. Drifting in and out of revisionary-worky things, making my brain remember the things I learned almost a year ago. But good. :)
How're you?
Welcome backles, Rhyd. :)
#ChaseForBook9
FLORA!!!!! *TACKLEHUGS* HOW ARE YOU? MISSED YOU!
@Taia:
Good to hear!
I'm alright thanks - bit stressed but that's uni!
#chaseforbook9
Brb. Washing pots
*frowns*
OK.
I'm gonna go write some notes on the physics thing and understand it through breaking down and complicating and uncomplicating and building and recomplicating and uncomplicating and things. That makes sense. Ish. In my head. :P
And then I'll return and be here better. And be working better. *nods*
So BRB.
#ChaseForBook9
(I might be eating a pretzel later today, and that makes me happy.)
AHHHH RHYDIAN! I MISSED YOU TOOO! I'M GOOD THANKS, YOU??
#chaseforbook9
(Popping out for role-play mode now, dropping the parenthesis . . .)
Ah, that's better.
Do you know what annoys me?
People who hide in the middle of fields by covering themselves with blankets that look like grass. It's inconsiderate and rude, and scares the living daylights out of people, like me, who just want to go bury a body in peace.
Annika, tell them to cover themselves in body bags.
Another thing that annoys me: Cling wrap.
Every time I try to have a peaceful negotiation with cling wrap, offering it the cool, refreshing interior of my refrigerator in return for it covering my food, it always attacks me. The High Council of Cling Wrap is not returning my calls.
It is just INSOLENCE, that is what it is.
There are some inanimate object that would be HONORED to cover my food. Tin foil, for example.
But cling wrap is just being a trouble-maker.
IM GOOD FLORA!!!!!! *HUGS*
*sees Flora*
*sneaks up behind Flora*
*leaps/hugs Flora*
*Whispers in Flora's ear* My name is Tia Collectionista Halcyon Cyclonia. Call me Tia, ok? :)
What? It's how Tia greets new people.
Another thing that annoys me:
Gentlemen with creepy black van who say they are going to give you ice cream and M&Ms, but, when you get in the back of the van, give you sherbet and Skittles instead.
Skittles are NOT M&Ms, old sport.
Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow.
*vans
*screams and jumps away*
*rubs ear*
Hey, that tickled!
*laughs*
*extends hand*
How do you do? I'm Flora Ophelia. I'm Queen of the Flowers, but I'm not in any way royal, really.
Nice to meet you!
@Rhydian: That's good to hear :) were you talking about the thing you told me above?
#chaseforbook9
*fangirls at Mulan reference*
Annika, you're awesome
#chaseforbook9
Thank you, Flora, for noticing.
Oh, oh my.
Well, I'll write this dedication after I go change my profile picture back to normal.
*shakes hand*
I'm new here, pleased to meet you.
*whispers* Stay out of Adra's way when she's angry. And tease Hunter and Ez as much as you can :)
Ah, that feels better.
I dedicate this page to gentlemen in waistcoats.
I dedicate this page to ladies in hats.
I dedicate this page to little girls in dresses.
I dedicate this page to young men in cravats.
I dedicate this page to Heaven, may we all see it one day.
I dedicate this page to Hell, may we avoid it on the way.
I dedicate this page to good-time gamblers, laughing with their restless wives.
I dedicate this page to late-night radio shows, talking and talking all their lives.
I dedicate this page to you, the Blogland folk I'll never see.
I dedicate this page to you, to everyone, and me.
Ah, Tia, it is too late for me, I fear. I have become good friends with Adra and Sir, alas.
However, it is an absolute pleasure to meet you. I thought I just hadn't met you yet.
*shakes hand*
I am Annika Barnosky, except when I'm role-playing. Then I am Doctor Precocious, or sometimes Oscar Neurotic, her nemesis. That was the gentleman in black with the yellow background. This,
---->
Is Doctor Precocious.
How do you do, Tia?
HEAR HEAR!!!
Sorry, Annika, but that was a great dedication!
I've finally cracked and am working my way through a youtube playlist of one direction...I know a bloglandian who would be very happy to hear this... :P
ANYWAY
@Annika: Mulan's awesome - how could I not notice? :P
Have we met before btw? (sorry if we have - terrible memory)
@Tia: Pleased to meet you too.
Oh, I know about Adra ;) haha
And I've totes got the teasing thing down, don't you worry :P
Thanks for the heads up though!
#chaseforbook9
Apologize not! I know how fantastic I am.
*strikes a ridiculous pose*
And now I feel silly . . .
*looks ashamedly at the ground*
Great ded! *applauses*
#chaseforbook9
Hey, Annika!
Well I'm okay I guess, just reading school stuff. And role playing is cool, but I don't really know the right way to do it.
We have not met before, Flora. And I was thanking you for noticing that I, MYSELF, am awesome, rather than the Mulan reference.
*poshly harrumphs*
But that's alright.
@Flora: Yeah...I was
Ah, well, there is a certain trick to role-playing, I suppose.
. . .
And I'm sorry about the weird way that I talk, as well. I was brought up in . . . well, let us say an ODD sort of home, so I tend to use big words or overly formal speech patterns. Try to ignore it; that's what my real-life friends do.
(I'M NOT BACK YET.)
@Flora: Good to hear you're getting on okay. :)
@Annika: Hey, awesome ded, there. Jepic. :)
@Flora, on 1D: *laughs* x3
fission. fusion. mrrrgh.
#ChaseForBook9
My, everybody seems to love my dedication. Thank you, I suppose.
Si j’avais beaucoup d’argent, je ne achèterais pas une grande maison, parce que ce serait soutenir plus de onéreux, et je pense que je peux accompli plus avec l’argent, par exemple, je peux visiter mes amis connecté. Cependant, je n’avais pas une petite maison. J’avais une maison avec une grande chambre pour moi, donc j’ai plus de place pour camelote, car j’ai beaucoup de camelote. Mais je n’avais pas beaucoup de placards, parce que ma mère pense que si on a un placard, on le remplir, et je préférais avoir moins de placard, plus de place, et moins de camelote. Même si je veux remplir ma chambre avec camelote, c’est différent parce que la camelote dans ma chambre est camelote utile (par exemple papier aléatoire), tandis que camelote dans placards est objets que on a la femme jeter.
*grins* I knew I'd get there. I don't think it makes 100% sense. Oh well. :)
Hey people! :) Sorry, I went for dinner, and I did French, and stuff.
@Annika: That's because it's awesome. :)
