Ohhh, all those lovely Doctor Who stories, all in one place! And look what ELSE arrived in the same box...
Toys! Wonderful, wonderful TOYS!
I was indeed a happy writer.
So what else have I been up to lately? Well, I've been writing, amazingly enough. I have taken two weeks off Book Nine to focus on coming up with new stories for Armageddon-Outta-Here (haw!) which'll be out next summer.
As a sample of what the new stories will feature, we're talking the Dead Men in the Wild West, the story of how Valkyrie met Caelan, a Billy-Ray Sanguine solo adventure, and Skulduggery Pleasant and Gordon Edgley at a horror-themed masquerade ball, set 25 years ago.
Time is tight, deadlines are onrushing, but I'm having FUN, so none of it seems quite like work. And hopefully it never will.

«Oldest ‹Older 3601 – 3800 of 4944 Newer› Newest»i'm fine. we've been doing stuff on circles at school and so... well... PI... i have memorized the first... 12... numbers after the point...
Cool! *hugs*
Off the top of my head, I know 3.1415926535893238462. I'm too lazy to count how many digits that is...
[hugs back]
#ChaseForBook9
XD i'm trying to memorize the first hundred. thus the name.
[Shrugs]
I doubt I'll ever need to use that many digits in any kind of equation, so I've really not bothered.
It's so lonely in the Glitch reboot place... No piggies, no chickens, no trees, no butterflies, no other players... I miss that game so much...
#ChaseForBook9
:) if it were still around, and from your high praise and the stuff i've read on it, i would play it. it's odd, but i feel i missed out on something huge... maybe someone, a dye-hard fan, will re-make it...
anyway, since i never played, i feel like i'm taking something from you every time i talk about it...
There are efforts to do that... The game code is in public domain now. That's why this location viewer is here...
[Nods]
It was awesome.
The thing is, though, it attracted the right kind of people, and everyone else was too boring to understand it. The players who did get it will to this day rave about the amazing imaginative-ness, but there were too many people who didn't get it. That, and rubbish marketing, was why it died... :-(
#ChaseForBook9
No, you're not. I'd rather you talk about it then stand awkwardly in the corner while I go on an emotional rant about it.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs*
i think i'm gonna go back to my normal name now...
[hugs back]
If you want, I can give you the link for the reboot? You won't be able to see most of the cool stuff, but you can at least appreciate the beautiful locations.
#ChaseForBook9
Okay. :-)
Yeah, this one is a little long*
*irrational and probably doesn't end
#ChaseForBook9
yeah, that'd be ice fab.
http://revdancatt.github.io/CAT422-glitch-location-viewer/
There you go. This is the start page.
Since I've wandered around a bit, I can give you the links to some of the streets farther away from that that are more different, if you like.
:) sure

http://revdancatt.github.io/CAT422-glitch-location-viewer/#/LA9QQQ8LV4F3TJ2
For starters. Don't open them all at once or it'll probably crash.
I can meet you somewhere in there if you let me know which street you're on (if it works.)
In ten minutes I'll have to switch to iPod, though...
herm... one sec...
Aaaand bye computer!
If someone reads back and sees this, I'm happy to give you a tour sometime!
#ChaseForBook9
lol... i just said this to my brother when he threatened to lick me:
i've licked many a thing in my time. a boys face wont make any difference to me.
Riiight.
#ChaseForBook9
XD it's true though: i've lick about everything at school.
this looks so much like my cat -->
I'm sure it all tasted delicious.
Thanks for exploring with me. [hugs] It was nice to be able to show someone at least a little of the awesomeness once known as Glitch.
#ChaseForBook9
Awwwwww it's so cuuuuuuute!
#ChaseForBook9
g2g. bye fab *hugs*
Bye, and thanks again!
#ChaseForBook9
Hullo. Is anyone on?
I apologize for not being on much lately. I intend to rectify that in future.
Good morning, afternoon, or evening, Blogland.
Ah! Someone else! Hullo, Sir.
Ah, greetings, Ms. Barnosky.
And it certainly seems a bit quiet, for this morning/afternoon/evening.
It does.
I haven't been on for a while, so I thought I would come on and let everyone know I was still alive. Of course, were I dead, all of the world would be crushed. There would be funerals, rose petals, and a minute of silence observed around the globe, of course.
Anyhow, how are you?
Standard, Ms. Barnosky. And how do you feel, yourself?
Well enough. My house smells like Christmas cookies, which is always a good feeling. 'Tis the season, after all!
Quite, though I have never been much of a lover of cookies.
It depends on the cookie, really. I've never been fond of macadamia nut cookies, but I love chocolate-mint cookies.
And anyway, you can forgive Christmas cookies for being cookies because they're so pretty to look at.
There is that, I suppose. Though I tend to prefer more traditional decorations.
We don't decorate much around the holidays. We have a tree, and Christmas-lights on the house, but that's it. Sadly, we don't have much time around the holidays.
Understandable, events tend to speed up around this time of year.
They do indeed.
*nods in agreement*
In any case, it is good to see that you are doing well.
Likewise, I'm sure!
*smiles pleasantly*
Did I miss anything extraordinarily interesting while I've been away from Blogland?
Well, I am hardly the one to speak to about such things...
From my memory, in the role-play, at least, both Ms. Kerias and Charm had their children, Ms. Charm with twins, I believe, Ms. Dark is attempting to imitate life, and I was nearly indoctrinated into a cult with IKEA zombies, who also sole my watch.
Otherwise, it is largely business as normal.
*tuts disapprovingly*
My, I leave for a day or two and look what happens!
In any case, it is my pleasure to report that Blogland has faced no insurmountable tragedies, that I know of, while you were away.
And now I am here. Let the tragedy commence!
*tumbles dramatically upon a fainting couch*
....
Quite.
Was that couch always there...?
I carry it around with me, of course.
If one is going to faint dramatically, one shouldn't have to do it on the ground.
Of course not, that would be dreadfully unsanitary.
Agreed. Especially in Blogland; you never do know what has been soaking the ground lately.
Well, at least it is not a series of corpses.
Usually.
True. Usually it's rainwater, blood, or orange juice. On one memorable occasion, it was maple syrup.
*stares wistfully into the distance*
That was a good day.
Well, I do hope the syrup brand had something to do with Canada, and not American slavery.
Oh, Canadian syrup is the only syrup worth drinking.
*nods firmly*
...
One could argue that syrup is not necessarily meant for drinking, but I believe that you would stop such an argument rather quickly.
*ponders the question*
Well . . . one could argue that it's not really for eating, either. It's a topping. Saying it's for eating or drinking is a bit like drinking honey or eating whipped cream.
Certainly, though drinking a small bit of honey and vinegar does wonders for a sore throat.
I've heard that. I prefer cough lozenges, though.
Certainly, lozenges are just as proficient at treating sore throats.
*nods*
They usually taste better as well, which, while not the most important function of a lozenge, certainly helps make the experience less . . . disgusting.
Indeed, and the flavor tends to be rather distracting.
Hmmm *has a snow day*
I agree.
*nods*
Hullo, Zafira.
Greetings, Ms. Kerias.
*waves* Morning
*waves*
Good morning to you, too!
I do hope you feel well, Ms. Kerias?
I do. I'm pretty well today actually. *nods*
Well, that's good to hear.
Well, that is wonderful to hear.
Sadly, I must leave for now. There's no need to wait up for me, I have so many things to do, so little time, et cetera et cetera.
I'm just wondering when my volleyball game is now. For the tournement. It was supposed to be at 8am. But it didn't happen as it's a snow day. So I'm not sure if I'm having it tomorrow or Thursday. And my Spanish midterm is now Thursday so if we somehow manage to win and move up and my game gets put in when I hve a midterm I can't take the test as the rules require 2 girls at all times and there is only 2 girls on the entire team.
See you later Sir *waves*
Hey! Anybody here? I'm gonna rp anyway.....get ya tissues at the ready, it's going to be a sad one!
*Tithe steps out of the shadows and loks at Rhydian and Blake. He sends Rhydian hurtling to a wall and throws Blake through into the Living Room*
Tithe: This moment has been coming for a while now...Ready to lose everything Saint?
(I'm sobbing because Sir and Anni crack me up
not here)
What are you on about Tithe?
Tithe: Your brother...
You're not taking him!
Tithe: I know...He's just not going to be sticking around for much longer.
What?
Blake: What's going on? Rhydian I'm scared.
It's OK Blake, everything's gonna be alright.
Tithe: No its not...don't lie to the boy!
((Hey Adra! Bye Adra?))
Just go, LEAVE!!!!!
Tithe: Deep down, you know what I mean. That little quiet timid voice in the back of your mind, you know. You know that Blake isn't real...He's fiction
Blake: What?
No your wrong!
Tithe: Sorry, I'm not. He's a trap
An exquisite trap, he's a figment of your imagination!
*Rhydian cries knowing that Tithe isn't lying*
Tithe: Now you know...Blake shall soon disappear, you can't keep hold of a dream once you know it's true......
Hdiwudiehdiahkfjsjwksjdjxneheh.
#ChaseForBook9
Blake: I'm not real...?
Blake ignore him!
*Blake falls to the ground, weakness taking over his body*
*Rhydian runs to Blake and Tithe stands back watching his plot unfold before him*
Blake.....*tears fill eyes* Please don't go...
((Hi Moss! How are you? Btw like the rp? (PLOT TWIST!!!!)))
((I'm having a very inconvenient morning, but it'll likely improve.))
((PLOT TWIST))
((Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?????!?!?!?!?!?! D:))
#ChaseForBook9
*Blake looks blankly around the room*
Tithe: *looks down at Rhydian and Blake* So...This is what you get for choosing magic over normalcy.
Blake: *looks at Rhydian Saint for the last time* Goodbye Rhydian. *fades away*
NNOOOOOOO!!!!!! *Rhydian's emotions flood him and the tears run down his face*
((I HATE YOU.))
((AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :'( ))
((Okay, I need to write something really really evil now. Thanks for putting me in the right mindset.))
((SERIOUSLY THOUGH D:))
#ChaseForBook9
I'm not entirely sure I'm reacting properly to this. :P
Half of me is very happy and I-told-you-so, and the other half is annoyed, and the third half (I'm a bubble. I have as many halves as I want) is just pleased because awesomeness.
Um. :P

((Thanks Moss! Love you too!))
((Hi Starry! How are you? Would you mind looking at my rp? (Past few comments) it'll break your heart))
I have a school concert tonight . . .
Funnnnn . . .
Also, the year sevens who were watching the rehearsal have dubbed me and the other cellos as 'guitars with sticks'.
. . .
:P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Rhydian: Already looked at it. :) I read all the comments, remember? My first comment, saying I was half I-TOLD-YOU-SO-DAMMIT (not about Blake, about something else), half annoyed and half pleased at awesomeness was in response to you. :)
But still.
YAY/DAMMIT.
#ChaseFOrBookNine
[hugs Star and cries as well]
#ChaseForBook9
(I seem to not have any reaction towards what Rhy did. Or maybe I didn't pay attention.
*hugs Lantern* :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh. Lol sorry if I just ruined your luves! I had that idea for a while now, and every time I thought about it I really had to hold back the tears
(Well its snowing harder.)
Hey Zaffy! How are you?
Thank God you weren't affected! Bad enough that I just ruined two peoples feels
(I kinda lost emotion since LSODM to be honest. *shrugs* tis a snow day so I'm kinda hanging.
Well, fuck.
My Ten Thousand Fists CD doesn't appear to work in my laptop . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
I can show you (any of you) around the location viewer, if you like... It's really nice to share that place with someone.
Um, as soon as I get to a computer.
#ChaseForBook9
@Rhydian: I'm sorry, can I just not speak to you for a moment whilst I clear my mind up? :P
Oh wait, brb anyway - dinner.
#ChaseForBookNine
Me and Corvo are doing a YouTube channel together...Coz I felt awkward doing by myself. Lol quite excited tbh surprisingly
@Lantern: I followed the links. :)
*is back, because apparently I can take my dinner upstairs with me*
#ChaseForBookNine
Yay! Ooh, speaking of YouTube, I need to get my animation in an acceptable video form...
#ChaseForBook9
@Rhydian: YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
YouTube is one of the best websites ever. :) COmes in line with wordreference.com and blogger.
#ChaseForBookNine
*explodes England* oppsie *specifically explodes the bar*
There's so much out there, though, I could only link to a few parts of it...
Just if you ever want to. If you don't, that's fine.
#ChaseForBook9
*is laughing* It is snowing and it just keeps snowing
HEY!
I have friends there!
#ChaseForBook9
I live in England........
@Lantern: You can follow the links to other places, but yeah . . . :)
@Lantern: You have friends there? like meeeeeeee? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Rhydian: Ditto. :)
Ooh, I can speak to you again without going WAAAAAAAAAHFEELSNESS.
Hello. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Well I can't explode Ireland, if I wanna survive in Book 9, so I shall explode other places.
Ok..Hello Star :)
@Zaf@ Or you could just not explode.
That's like being a serial killer and saying "Well, I can't kill people in this country coz they'll lock me up, so I'll move to this country and kill people here."
Killing is always bad. It's not the place that's the problem, it's YOU that's the problem.
#ChaseForBookNine
Well well well it is fun *holds dynamite*
@Lantern: Trip! :)
Flora! :)
Mel! :)
@Lantern: YOu can tour me if you want. :) I don't have homework to do, and if I do nothing I'll just sit here until concert time being annoyed at my CD.
#ChaseForBookNine
Yes, like you two! And Lucy! And Ieni! And whoever else is from England! ((Sorry, I didn't forget you. I forgot your Englishness))
It's okay then.
#ChaseForBook9
@Zaf: If you find murdering millions of innocent people fun, then you seriously need to get help and, more importantly, get locked up so you don't hurt anyone else.
#ChaseForBookNine
*glares* EXPLOSIVE TREE
I thought Mel was Scottish?
That would be really nice, actually, Star. [hugs] Just a minute...
#ChaseForBook9
@Lantern: Dammit, Mel is Scottish. :P
Sorry, I was remember who I'd seen at Leeds . . . which is in England . . .
*waits a minute* *glares at CD*
#ChaseForBookNine
Okay, I'm in the world now.
#ChaseForBook9
@Lantern: World! *scrolls upwards for links*
#ChaseForBookNine
Gtg now. Watching TV and tea's nearly ready. Bye!
Bai Rhy!
@Rhydian: Fours! :(
@Lantern: Okay. I'm on the start page thingy. The first link. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye Rhydian! [hugs]
Okay, magically teleporting there.
Zaf, you're welcome to join us.
Wbd.
#ChaseForBook9
Although I might restart the laptop because malfunctions . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
[Stands on Star's head]
[Or possibly a random person's head]
#ChaseForBook9
Okay...
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry, restarted laptop.
Getting there again!
Sorry!
THE WINDOW WOULD NOT RESPOND OR EVEN TELL ME IT WOULDN'T RESPOND IT WAS NANNIYING.
~CahseForBooknine

#ChaseForBookNine
(Not the internet, iTunes.
I swear, that stupid CD . . .)
#ChaseForBookNine
(So like, I couldn't shut it.)
(So RESTART.)
(Good thing my laptop is rather faster than the school computers.
Which are SOOOOOO slow. It's unbelievable.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Okay.
#ChaseForBook9
Whats going on? Sorry I'm just here eating and I'm gonna shovel for my dad after lunch its an inch and a half i can handle it
Just stop enough of the limitless critical comments on my life
Just drop the judgment and all of your pseudo-involvement in my life
Step back a moment, and look at the miracle starting in our life
Don't stop the moment, and let the incredible happen knowing that
All that you want
Is to criticize
Something for nothing
And all that I want
Is forgiveness one more time
To be the best in the world
Just stop with all of your little deliberate problems with my life
Enough of all the crippling, terrible pain we feel inside
Step back a moment, remember how the miracle started in our life
Take back the torment; I won't be enjoying this moment knowing that
All that you want
Is to criticize
Something for nothing
And all that I want
Is forgiveness one more time
I know that
All that we want is to feel inside
Some kind of comfort
And all that we've done
We can hide
We'll be the best in the world
All I ever wanted was to be a real source of compassion
From the moment that we found ourselves drowning in
All I ever wanted was to be a real source of compassion

Hi!
DAMN DISTURBED ARE AMAZING. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
My dad has been "fixing" my laptop for two weeks...I'm getting really annoyed..
@Chi: :(
#ChaseForBookNine
SAPPHY!
D: Chiiiii
My screen has been broken for months, it got put in a week last thursday and he's been updating it since the 6th...I mean...wtf...
Chione; That sounds like the I.T department at my school. 'We'll fix it in ten minutes.' Half an hour later; 'Oh, sorry, we haven't done that yet.'
-_-
*hugs Starry and Fabigail and Chione*
:-/
[hugs
*clicks the on button, crossing hdr fingers*
Go Chi!
Bye Star!
Sapphy?
Sorry, my internet cut out.
Bye Starry!

*bursts out crying* it's alive :')
Okay, Fabigail!
Just out of interest, are you Fay-bee or Fab-ee? Or something else?
*Laughs and hands Chione a tissue*
*takes tissue and hugs Sapp*
I can't wait
*huggles Chione back*
Hi, Lucy!
Hello Lucy.

Fabienne is either
Fay-bee-en or

Fab-ee or
Fah-bee
I'm okay with either. :-)
Okay :) My internet is being stupid. Msd, wbd
Okay, Saph. [hugs]
[hits the stupid Internet and tells it to behave]
#ChaseForBook9
*slowly dies
*Internet whimpers and tries to hide*
Hey Zaf! Why are you dying?
NOOOO Zaffy!
[Stands by her grave and mourns]
#ChaseForBook9
On Glitch, when a player died (as in ran out of energy) they would get a gravestone and then you could mourn or celebrate.
#ChaseForBook9
And once you did that, they could get wine of the dead and get out of hell.
