My Christmas tree is up. It actually went up a few weeks ago. It's not a REAL Christmas tree. I mean, it's real ENOUGH. It's not IMAGINARY. If you threw it at someone, it'd hit them. But it's made from assorted plastics and stuff. Also it's black. It looks awesome, but lacks that Christmas tree smell. But I don't mind that. My folks have a real Christmas tree up, and that's where Christmas happens anyway, so who cares if my house doesn't smell of pine needles? Not me. Not really.
Not... really...
Anyway, yes, the tree. It's up. The presents are bought. They're not wrapped, but they're bought. Most of them. Okay, I haven't a clue what to get my dad, but he's a dad. He'll be happy with socks. Fathers are simple creatures.
So... tree up. Presents bought. These are things I set aside time to do, because I needed to set aside time. I've been so busy lately that if I hadn't set aside this time, I just wouldn't get around to it. There are loads of things I just didn't have time for, like sending out Christmas cards. I love sending out cards. I try to combine it with answering all the letters from readers, so when I send off a reply, they get a Christmas card too. How lovely! But not this year. Answering all those letters, sending all those cards, would take two days at a minimum, and they are two days I can't afford to take off writing.
The writing is going well, by the way. I've been focussing on short stories these last three weeks, building up quite a collection of new stuff. Each of these stories will be told in a different "voice" than the one you're used to. You'll see what I mean when you read them.
One thing that I haven't decided on yet are the Christmas Skype calls I was planning on making. Essentially, I was going to take an hour one day and just fit as many three-minute Skype calls into that hour as I could. It seemed like a lovely idea at the time, but I'm not so sure anymore. Not everyone who wanted a call would be available on that hour, and so I'd have to field quite a few complaints. Then there'd be the people who'd want a one-on-one chat, when I'd only be comfortable chatting if there were two or more people in the room with you. Basically, my idea would end up causing a whole lot of hassle that I could really do without, so I just don't know.
Okay then, enough jibber-jabber. I have work to do.
Be cool, my Minions.

(Fabi... *hugs* That was a really, sad metaphor...
Hey, but if there's a footprint, there are bound to be more, because someone, somewhere is going to continue walking)
*Zaf's screams of fury echo through Blogland*
Ravel: *sighs* Zafira please calm down!
Thank you babe
I'm going to tell you all anyway okay
So it was my friend (let's call her C)'s sleepover and me and (let's call her ummm K) were going. So we basically got there and C lives in an estate so yeah we were chilling as you do. Then C says that we're gong to meet this guy called Heath Braxton the next dayand I was like lol okay and K FREAKED she was like WHAT and I was like um (he was from Home and Away I think idk???) and C screamed too and yeah.
So anyway we were originally going to camp outside but then bugs started flying in so we were like um no so we went into the living room and I bagsied the nicest couch so booyah ;) but yeah anyway so first we were watching the music channels then C said "i have to piss" and the bathroom was upstairs where her family were sleeping so we each tiptoed up one at a time and then K fell down the stairs and oh my god. And then we went back into the living room and started watching really old disney shows like that's so raven and stuff (if you remember this you are a true 2001 kid) and it was like 4 am at this point so C went into the kitchen and forced us to drink cappuccinos which I hate and then we went outside into the green in the estate and then we saw this man and he was walking towards us so we screamed and ran inside but actually he was just C's neighbour and he was at a party or something idk. so then K and I got hungry so we raided the fridge and got Coco Pops out but they were cheap ones and called Crisped Rice and we couldn't stop laughing and C was like sHUT THE FUCK UP YOU'LL WAKE EVERYONE UP so we did and then we went back into the living room and watched Genie In The House (memories) and K fell asleep on my legs and I couldn't move and then C kicked K and woke her up so we had to get an ice pack for K and then it was 7am so we went outside and made a Video Star on my iPad and then we went to the shop next door and K fell over and C walked into a stepladder and I swear I was the only one who wasn't suffering from tiredness and then we bought like chocolate and energy drinks and went into town to see Heath Braxton or whatever his name is but yeah it was fun lmao
And that's the end of my story
*Suddenly a woman slides down a ladder from the top of a book case and lands beside the wolf*
Elizabeth: Knock it off Gypsy *pets the wolf*
*She walks over and shakes Trips hand, enthusiastically*
Elizabeth: Welcome! You must be my guests that Jar informed me about. It is an honour to get a chance to show other beings what we do here in Oiche Gorm.
(Oh my gods Mara you are perf I love you im laughing so hard meera *cuddleboos*)
Man, what a great story.
#ChaseForBook9
*Adra pokes her head out from behind Trip* Oh, it was our pleasure.
Alexis: *smiles* Hello ma'am.
*blushes* Yes. Sorry, I- I thought you were the wolf. How silly of me.
Yeah, about what you do here, you are a company, yes?
#ChaseForBook9
(( [hugs back] Sorry. Once I started quoting Silence in the Library, I couldn't stop.))
((I'll stop being melodramatic now.))
(Melodrama? I'd disagree
Silence in the Library makes me want to cry.
*hugs anyway*)
*Elizabeth playfully pets the wolf again as she lets it lick her face*
Elizabeth: You must forgive Gypsy, she's a little high strung when it comes to having people in the office. She loves the books just as I do.
*Elizabeth straightens up and sits on the edge of the desk*
Elizabeth: Yes we are, set up by my grandfather nearly 80 years ago. But what is it that I can do for you today my friends?
The books are rather beautiful...
So, how exactly do you gain the money you spend on these werewolves?
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *still stays quiet lookig at the books
Oh well thank you Adra
Ikr Trip
(yeah meera)
*Elizabeth smiles at Adra and Alexis*
Elizabeth: Please, feel free to take in the books. That is what they are made for.
We actually do not spend any money on our candidates. The only thing we spend is growing the ingredients needed for our drug combination.
Everything our candidates need is all right here in the facility and have been since it was first built.
*Her eyes widen and she cursies to Elizabeth*
Th- thank you, Madame.
*Runs off to find something*
But how do gain money, to run the facility, to maintain it, pay it's workers?
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: T-thank you ma'am. *walks over to the one case and finds something interesting and begins reading*
(dammit ya STOLE MY WORDS
god duck)
(Wot)
((lads i'm fucking hysterical i swear to god)
Okay I'm going to sleep now nanite xx
lol bye
Its a self sufficent run facility.
At the back of the mountain, the facility is built onto a water wheel to the waterfall.
All my workers are qualified in maintenance repairs, first aid, cookery, training and counseling if needed.
As well as most of my workers have come through the program, they know how much it works and helps so they give their time back into what helped them, to help others.
(ya me too meera)
*She pulls a leather-bound book from the shelf, and opens it*
*Her jaw drops*
(Night Meera1! *hugs*)
So, are you in any way a company except legally?
#ChaseForBook9
Goodnight Marsa. Sweet dreams.
#ChaseForBook9
Elizabeth: I'm not sure I follow what you mean sir?
I've never questioned my facility before, you're giving me real food for thought here *she flashes a smile at Trip*
Alexis: *overhears trying to not show a sign of sadness*
Well I was told you were a company. The nature of a company is to exchange goods and services, yet you don't seem to do that.
#ChaseForBook9
*The title reads- "Paradise Lost"*
*Folds the book into her arms and goes back to where the grownups are standing*
*Elizabeth smiles*
Elizabeth: Jar picked up that habit of calling it a company from working with my father.
Myself? I call it a rehabilitation and relaxation facility for werewolves.
And all ready I'm more relaxed.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *goes over by Trip still a little bit scared*
*She elbows Trip* Hush.
("Take on Me" by Aha just came on and its so weird against this situation im cRYIng)
Elizabeth: Excellent! I would hate you to feel anything less.
*She looks at Adra* You can take that book if you wish, I have another 2 copies up on the top shelves.
Now, I would imagine you are starving, shall we make our way to the food hall?
*As Elizabeth walks towards the door, Gypsy pads along behind her before evaporating inside Elizabeth. Elizabeth stops, opens the doors and gestures with her hand*
Shall we??
One question before we go, do you have any books on channelling?
#ChaseForBook9
*Adra smiles, and curtsies* Thank you, Madame, I believe I shall.
Alexis: Oh yes....*bites lip trying to stay calm, realizing she may have lost Lorcan already*
*Elizabeth taps her lips with her forefinger before walking to the back, behind the desk.
When she emerges, she has a pile of 6 books*
Elizabeth: I haven't any 'factual' books per say on channelling, I do however have these journals from a channelling clan that lived behind my grandfathers village when he was boy. I do hope they help.
*She carefully hands the pile to Trip*
(I have to go to sleep guys, continue tomorrow??
Love you all xx night xx)
(Night Em)
(Night Em!
But.
Wait
What do we do)
*eyes widen* P-pa-pardon? Yes, this will be most interesting, indeed. Thank you!
(See you tomorrow.)
#ChaseForBook9
...*Looks at the books* Channeling?
It appears, I have some work to do Adra.
I may yet have a people.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh course, er... *Offers a helpful smile* You know I'll help you in whatever way I can, yeah?
Alexis: yeah a lot of work
(Adra if you want, while you would wait you could just use Adra elsewhere?
(I might stay here until Trip departs for the night, whenever that is...
Awh hell I sent Priya off, didn't I? Okay. Yeah :P)
(I might go to bed. I will. Good night, my friends.)
#ChaseForBook9
(She could come back I just have Zaf Ravel Javier and Christopher left so if it comes i will just solo
(And there you have it.
Night, Trip! *hugs)
(Told ya! xD just bring Priya back if you want
(Er, no, I don't think she'll be back... It's quite complicated.
Very complicated
And arduous.
Actually, only Sir's been to where the alchemists are. Heh. He was uncomfortable immediately, so... Herm.)
(I suppose Adra could, er... Be dreaming or something and project her subconsciousness, so ti appears on blogland, as a side affect of being near the philosopher's stone?
Aye.
That'll do.)
(As you wish. Do you want any of my characters? Zaf is having a panic attack with 2 of her kids missing so
(YESYESYEYSYEYSEYEYSYESYS
I wanna hang with my good friend Hyde, if he isn't busy? :P
If that's okay, that is..)
*Finally gets out of the snow*
*Stands, opening her eyes*
What....
(Ah Hyde. *laughs* give me a sec, Hyde is uh taking over
(Weee! Taaa! :D)
*looks down at Adra kicking her* Good. I would hate for you to freeze, I need someone to torment.
*Rolls back*
Hyde.
Honestly?
You should pick up a hobby.
Hobby? I do not need one. My hobby is torturing. *hits across face with walking stick* You are the only entertaining one.
*She spins, and grabs a rock*
*Throws it, and flicks her finger, a wave of stone flying from the ground and obscuring his path*
Remind me why I don't just get rid of you?
Because I have Jekyll. Do you not remember, Adrasdos, that Jekyll is the one that, healed Zafira from what happened? You also seem quite fond of me, which I find fascinating. Also, Croatoan tried and failed.
Yeah, but Niccolo isn't me.
But you're annoying.
So.
...
Yeah
I am annoying? I would not talk. I do not seem to be dying every other day.
And what a shame that seems to be... *Muses*
.... It appears I poofed earlier
It is, for you. Though I cannot say many have not died by my hand. I wish to make you one of them, Adrasdos.
(WB Snow)
*Bows* Oh indeed. Yet, I must say, I don't think that I'll allow that.
(Hello Miss Snow)
And why is that? You do realize that the other side is better, someone like you deserves better. Symoathy, tenderness, things Trip cannot offer. Do not lie to yourself, you deserve better. *waits paitently for her to remove the rocks*
*Raises an eyebrow* Hell awaits me on the other side... I don't think I could classify that as "better"
*Laughs about what he said about Trip*
Greetings.
My last night in NYC.
Tomorrow at an unreasonable hour I will be heading out the door, and out of the country.
I do miss my snowy village. Or do I...
I forget what it's like, I've been gone for so long.
They probably forgot all about me.
My charm. My generosity.
What will happen if I return and they changed the locks for all my doors and lockers.
What if they took away my key to the city?!
How am I to go on?
Will I need to live on a farm with zebras and mooses?
Living of the land that I don't own.
I'll be a squatter, a new word I learned.
How can I do this?!
For you? Hell is paradise. Imagine what I would face, Jekyll and I together. He and I share everything. Even now, he tries to gain control again.
*pokes thrust* right.....
((*Hugs Thrust* Hey. Listen- you'll be fine. Honestly. It won't be as bad as you think it is. Trust me. *hugs again*))
Hyde, you really don't know what I've seen there.
You don't want to know either
*grabs snow's finger and pokes her with it*
*grins* Hell is nothing for you, Adrasdos. Why don't I kill Trip first?
*Honestly laughs* Oh Edward, you can so wish.
I have not been there, nor do I plan to. *takes knife out* Where shall I cut?
*grins* lol I had that tinger in my mouth. Now your hand has my spit on it XD
*laughs again*
Again,
good luck with that.
(I apologize if I suddenly disappear... I'm very tired this evening)
*laughs* Not on you *holds a baby fox*
(I must apologize from Miss Zafira that if she vanishes she fell asleep.)
....
Don't you dare
Oh...? *laughs and cuts the fox deeply and drops it* Does that hurt you, Adrasdos does- *growls in pain fighting Jekyll's control*
*she moves the rocks quickly and rushes suddenly at Hyde, swinging an almighty kick into his chest, shoving him backwards as she scoops the fox up, quickly working*
*rubs spit on adra*
*Rubs spit from her shoulder onto Snow*
XD not my fault. You grbed my finger. I didnt make you.
But we see here what goes around comes around.
Hey, ive had my best friends boyfriends slit wiped on my face. I think I can handle my own imaginary spit.
As did I.
... that is so disturbing
It's not.
I calmly, very responsibly, wiped off your spit on Adra.
I could've done something else, but nothing else came to mind.
Whys it disturbing?
Very responsible.
*Shoves snow in Thrust's face*
*The precipitation snow, btw. Not the person*
... I was thinking you were talking about the other part of my comment... XD
THAT would be disturbing...
:D
Very
*laughs* Try!
(I must sleep i am tired
... oh, thrust, I finished the comic
*throws snow at snow*
The person and the percipitation , respectively
Oh good. Thank you for doing that, I appreciate it a lot.
It was good. Nice ending.
*throws snow at adra and thrust* imma not saying which >:D
*forms snow into a battle-ready snowman*
Charge, my snowy beast! You were made to do so!
XD *tackles snowman*
And, I just realized, snow, how can you think Id be deterred by your spittle, when you spent practically all of my time on yesterday licking my face.
And, I just realized, snow, how can you think Id be deterred by your spittle, when you spent practically all of my time on yesterday licking my face.
XD idk. Im weird like that
*on my hand
Yes you are.
DONT JUDGE MEEEEEEEE
Lol my dad just came up tome and started talking and I reached up and pulled one of his eyebrow hairs out "becuase it was sticking out" pfft... no... im not evil
Should probably mention I've been ghosting for an hour or so.
Because it feels rude not mentioning it.
Now please, carry on as though I'm not here.
*throws snow at jade/fabi*
Snowman-beast ATTACK
*huggles the snowman, melting him*
IT melts YOU
XD I g2g thrust and ghosting fab. Bye.
Oh jade is fabi, okay
My parents took me on a surprise trip to the movies towatch the hobit. And all I could think about was slutdughery pleasantits in a hobit thong. God damn you amazing people.

8h, hi, didnt see u there
Hello turtle person
Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren't so bold
Everyone and friends and family
Sayin' "Hey, get a job
Why do you only do that only,
Why are you so odd?
"We don't really like what you do
We don't think anyone ever will
It's a problem that you have
And this problem's made you ill"
Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren't so bold
The artist walks alone
Someone says behind his back
"He's got his gall to call himself that
He doesn't even know where he's at"
The artist walks among the flowers
Appreciating the sun
He does this all his waking hours
But is it really so wrong?
They sit in front of their TV
Sayin' "Hey, this is fun"
And they laugh at the artist
Saying "He doesn't know how to have fun"
The best things in life are truly free
Singing birds and laughing bees
You got me wrong says he
The sun don't shine in your TV
Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren't so bold
Everyone and friends and family
Sayin' "Hey, get a job!
Why do you only do that only,
Why are you so odd?
"We don't really like what you do
We don't think anyone ever will
It's a problem that you have
And this problem's made you ill"
Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growin' old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others just like to watch the world
... Holy Golden GOd, Daniel Johnston.

Hello parot man omg best super hero name ever!!
Parrot-man *Flies around punching robbers* This town is safe now
HEY.
#ChaseForBookNine
XD lol ed.
hey taia. That song rocks who's it by? And whats it called?
Hello Star and Taia
@Taia: That's beautiful. *hugs* :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey star
Msd
"The Adventure s of Parrot-man and Turtle-chic"
*Theme tune plays* I can see the evil doctor cracker and his sidekick fish boy. We must stop them
Lets kick evils butt, parrot-man!
You know, I was reading this book (same one a yesterday) and it has this man in it who's very philosophical, and in the book, there's the Lord Ruler, who is basically the ruler of everything, and he's basically like a god, and trying to kill him . . . someone was thinking it was like trying to kill the wind; such things weren't really alive or dead, they merely existed.
And anyway, this man said - by trying to stop him, are we doing a good thing? Because obviously he does bad things and we would free millions of people, but if he's a god, if he's part of infitiy and existence, doesn't he define what's good and what's bad? Surely whatever he says is good is good and whatever he says is bad is bad, even if he does do things that seem bad?
And anyway, everyone else was just going "Does this matter?" and "I think you gave me a headache," and I'm not even kidding, I was hugging that book, because ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH I'VE FOUND SOMEONE LIKE ME.
AND EVEN IF IT'S JUST A FICTIONAL CHARACTER.
HELP.
I was so happy. :) :)
!!! :)
And anyway, I was just you know, smiling my head off.
But even so, it's a great point. They think he does bad things, but if he's a god, then surely he can just say the bad things are good and they are?
I don't know.
It's very interesting. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*Punches Doctor cracker*
Oh no, fish boy is escapeing.
*roundhouse kicks fish boy*
*Police arrive and take away doctor cracker and fish boy*
((Hunter: And, you know, Adra, I have to thank you.
I doubt you know what you said, but you said it, and now Plan B has suddenly become much easier.
*maniacal laughter*
*you know, maniacal laughter of the helpful, beneficial variety*
*stalks off into the night to put Plan B into motion*
Star: He's making this a lot more dramatic than it needs to be.
Hunter: Oh, shut up. I'm allowed to be dramatic. *smiles happily, -*
Ah.
Not going to say my activity there.
Star: *rolls eyes*))
#ChaseForBooknine
We did it parrot-man! *high fives*
*High fives* Back in 5
Kay lol
Gah I g2g night *hugs all and disappears*
((Anyway, Hunter's putting Plan B into action now, under the cover of shadows and darkness.
Hunter: *nods*
Star: Even though it's broad daylight.
Hunter: EVERY SHADOW IS CAST BY A LIGHT AND EVERY LIGHT CASTS A SHADOW. THERE ARE SHADOWS IN THE DAYLIGHT.
Star: How did you quote Fabi when you haven't met her?
Hunter: Fabi? Who's Fabi?
Star: *facepalm*
Anyway, yeah. And that will be pretty easy, now, because it was going to be harder but now Adra's revealed that it can be ridiculously easy.
Hunter: Once again, thanks. *grins happily*
Star: So, yes. Although he doesn't really want to roleplay that, because secrecy. The only problem is . . .
Hunter: The only problem is YOU.
Star: Pretty much. I'm not Omni-present. I have to do things like go to sleep.
Hunter: Sleep is overrated.
Star: HUMAN BEINGS NEED SLEEP.
Hunter: HUMAN BEINGS ARE OVERRATED.
Star: Anyway . . . yeah. I think I've mostly said most of it now.
Hunter: But she's kind of forgotten what she wanted to say, because you know, she's Star.
Star: Shut up.))
#ChaseForBooknine
Hi Snow! :)
It's called "The Story of an Artist", by Daniel Johnston. HE's a really incredible guy and musician, from what I can see. idk. I think he has a lot of mental illness and disorder, but his music is so real and it's so sad but not in a bad way and idk. But yeah. :)
Glad you liked the lyrics. :) ^^
*hugs Star back* Thanks - I agree. :) And Hi. :)
Hi Edward! :)
@Star: That sounds really great - Which book is this? :)
#ChaseForBook9
Fours, Snow! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Aw, Bye Snow! *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Snow
@Taia: I liked them because they were awesome. :)
And it's The Final Empire, the first book in the Mistborn series, by Brandon -
Hunter: She can't remember his surname. *laughs* Star, you have a terrible memory, you know?
Star: Shut up. I'm getting it.
. . . BRANDON SADNERSON!
Hunter: :(
Star: Let me just go check that.
Hunter: *laughs*
Star: *checks* OH YES. I REMEMBERED CORRECTLY. I ROCK.
Hunter: *sulks*
*even though it's not a contest*
*looks at Star* It's not a contest, you don't have to be so smug about it.
Star: *facepalm*
#ChaseForBookNIne
...
Hello Death
*SANDERSON
Hunter: And even though she remembered, she still can't TYPE. *grins happily*
Star: Hunter, it's not a contest!
Hunter: Oh, shut up. :P
Star: Sorry, I let him in for five seconds and he doesn't go away.
Hunter: :( YOu don't like me here?
Star: No.
Hunter: *sulks in corner with brain spiders*
. . . Star, the brain spiders are hungry.
Star: Well, make them eat you, then.
Hunter: :(
#ChaseForBookNine
DAETH! *hugs*
Hunter: I love how you're embracing death with open arms there.
Star: Shut up.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hunter: Although admittedly, I couldn't allow the brain spiders to feast upon your brain, because your brain is too small to provide much of a meal . . .
Star: *ignores him*
Hunter: *raises eyebrows at her*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: That's certainly a good enough reason to like something. *nods* :)
*grins at the Star/Hunter occurrences, and notes the names of the author, series, and book*
Thanks! :3
#ChaseForBook9
Hunter: Star's getting distracted now . . . *waves to everyone in case the distractions take my place in her mind and reduce me to fading away sadly, a forgotten memory*
Star: *still ignoring him*
#ChaseForBookNine
DEATH!
*hugggggles*
#ChaseForBook9
Star: @Taia: Thank you. *hugs* :) :) :)
Hunter: *frowns* Does it hurt your mouth, smiling three times at once?
Star: No. I have three mouths.
Hunter: O_O *looks for them*
Star: They're outside my head.
HUnter: You are a strange creature.
. . . Wait, do bubbles have mouths?
Star: How else would they eat?
Hunter: *nods* Good point. Although you don't have any bubbles, because you're a sphere.
Star: Yes! :) :) :)
Hunter: *looks around for the smiles quickly* You know, I think you're lying about the three mouths. BUt that's okay. I once said I had three thumbs.
Star: . . . You did have three thumbs.
Hunter: Yeah, I know. I'm awesome. *grins*
#ChaseForBookNine
SHIT.
My mum just texted me asking a question AND I CAN'T TEXT BACK BECAUSE I HAEV NO CREDIT.
ARGHHHHHHHHHH.
Hunter: Well, that will sevre you right, won't it?
Star: IT'S A you-need-to-answer-whilst-I'm-here-because-when-I'm-home-it'll-be-too-late-question. D:
(Althoguh I think I know why she's asking it now I think about it and she can just text her friend later but . . .)
*starts arguing with my own voice in my head, leaving Hunter out*
Hunter: Rude.
#ChaseForBookNine
Star: Well.
What can I do?
Hunter: Sit here and panic.
Star: YOU, shut up.
It's rather out, thinking things out in a conversation like this, you know. I'm not writing down how I'm actually reacting, I'm sort of inventing how I would react, which is how I would react in real life, but then I suddenly stop and realise I haven't been feeling this reaction and then I'm like oh . . .
Hunter: You're talking again.
Star: Damn, shut up. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: *hugs back* :)
And- Can you call her with a different phone, or something?
*hugs Rose again because Rose*
#ChaseForBook9
MY MUM SAID SHE'D BE HOME AROUND LUNCHTIME ANYWAY AND IT'S QUATRE PAST TWELVE.
Hunter: Yeah, but she's always late.
Star: LOOK.
JUST.
STOP SPEAKING.
JUST SIT THERE AND BE SILENT FOR JUST ONE MOMENT BECAUSE THIS IS /MY/ LIFE.
Hunter: *protests* But you don't have a life!
Star: damn this is weird.
Hunter: I am the master of weird. *swirls cloak around*
Star: O_O
Hunter: I'm a figment of your imagination in here. I can wear a cloak if I want to be wearing cloak. *twirls around, watching cloak flow about him* I like cloaks.
. . . Oh my gosh, Star just realised she'd written 'clock' instead of 'cloak' four times in a row. *laughs*
Star: So I can't type. Shut up. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
You're all amazing. I'm glad I know you all.
#ChaseForBookNIne
OH YES.
Hunter: Can I dedicate to cloaks?
Star: No, I'm saving the ded.
Hunter: :(
Star: Anyway - @Taia: That would be a sensible thing to do, but -
Hunter: She doesn't really have the courage to do that and also if she's coming home by now then - no, wait a second. Sorry, that's Star's brain screwing up. Um. *waits for reliable information*
Actually, that's rather a logical thing to do.
Star, do that. *swirls cloak*
#ChaseForBookNine
Star: UM.
Hunter: *pokes* Go onnnn. Take one steps, two steps, three steps, four steps, more steps, pick up the phonereps and you're there.
Actually, why am I bothering? *stands there spinning around in cloak*
#ChaseForBookNine
Star: . . . I don't really think being on this computer is helping me think.
Hunter: Oh, well done. You've actually thought something with worth for once. *nods approvingly*
#ChaseForBookNIne
*hugs Star, for the great use of first-comment*
#ChaseForBook9
*ends up manically bouncing-jumping around the house whilst mentally yelling song lyrics in her head to try and get Hunter to shut up*
Hunter: *finds it kind of amusing*
Star: OH.
JUST GO AWAY.
ENEMY, SHOW ME WHAT YOU WANNA BE, I HANDLE ANYTHING, EVEN IF I CAN'T HANDLE YOU! READILY, EITHER WAY IT BETTER BE, DON'T YOU FUCKING PITY ME, GET UP, GET OFF. WHAT THE HELL'M I SAYING I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MALEVOLENT, SURE AS HELL, DECADENT, I WANT SOMEBODY TO STEP UP, STEP OFF. WALLS, LET ME FALL, FUCK YOU ALL. GET A GRIP, DON'T LET ME SLIP TILL I DROP THE BALL.
Hunter: Oh, damn. Your memory actually does work usefully for once.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hm. Turns out Daniel Johnston had a two-disc compilation released - the first disk featuring artists covering his songs, and the second his own recordings of the same songs.
The covering artists on the first disc include Tom Waits, The Flaming Lips, and Mercury Rev. I love how things come together with links and things that you weren't expecting. :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Thanks. :) :) It wasn't my idea, I mean the whole great-first-comment thing, but I love it when other people do it, so I've started doing it. :) It just makes you smile whenever you look at it. It's awesome. :)
Ahhhh, sorry. How are you?
#ChaseForBookNine
@Taia: That's awesome. :) :) :) *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
And, yes. It's like - you always knew that this was this, and now it's THIS, and . . . *pauses* I can't put it into words very well.
#ChaseForBookNine
*disc
*wishes Star and Hunter good luck, both, in their endeavors, probably mostly because she's not entirely sure what else to do :P*
*nodS* I know, but I like it, too. :)
ANd, I'm great - thanks for the asking. C: How're you?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, I opened the book to find the page and I found the paragraph.
"We claim to be doing good," Ham said. "But, the Lord Ruler - as God - defines what good is. So, by opposing him we're actually evil. But, since he's doing the wrong thing, does evil actually count as good in this case?"
AND IT'S JUST THE CONFUSING WAY I THINK/EXPLAIN THINGS AS WELL.
ARGHHHHHHH.
<3
#ChaseForBookNine
@Taia: Thanks. :) :) Sorry, Hunter's mad. His insanity infects me.
*is purposefully not writing out his comments here*
Great is good. :) Well, actually, great is great, but part of that merges into good.
I'm good, I think. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs back* :) *nods* :)
Wow. That book is sounding good.
And- No need to apologise. :P
And, good is good, too. :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: I'm only about 200 pages through, but it is sounding good. :) Thanks. :)
And - good is good. :) That's why it's called good. :)
Msd. :(
How are your holidays going? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
:)
Aw, okay.
Pretty good. I got to see some family who I'd not seen in a few years, so that was nice. :)
And now I have a week to do a LOT of revisionary work and finishing-learning-the-courses-because-apparently-my-teachers-lack-the-ability-to-do-even-that, and then my exams are next week and onward.
But there are only four of them, at least. :)
(which btw is why I'm a kind of distant, because I'm looking through past papers and working out things where I'm like "I have no idea" and things where I'm like "OK I'm fine with that one" and the ones somewhere between the two.)
But in general, yeah, going goodly. :) How about you?
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: That's :) and :( :( and :( D: and :) and *nods* and :) :).
Well, they're going pretty good. :) Idk, it's been a whole week. A lot can change in a week. But on the whole, it's bee good, beacsue you know, holidays and Christmas and good things. :)
I haven't really seen any family . . . :/ Which is both good and bad. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: *nods*
That's good to hear, and I know what you mean, but yeah. :)
And on the good and bad, I get you, I think. *nods again* :)
I think my favourite thing that I've heard somebody say this week is "... Rainbow poo sounds magnificent!" :P
#ChaseForBook9
Argghhh in the book there's this man who knows loads of religions because he's remembering them all (because now it's illegal to worship anyone but the Lord Ruler) and:
"You said their prayer - is this the religion you believe in, then?"
"I believe in them all."
Vin frowned. "None of them contradict each other?"
Sazed smiled. "Oh, often and frequently they do. But, I respect the truths behind them all - and I believe in the need for each one to be remembered."
-
and also
-
"In the end, after the kingdoms and armies had fallen, the religions were still fighting, weren't they?"
"Indeed," Sazed said. "Some of the more resilient religions lasted all the way until the fifth century."
""What made them so strong?" Kelsier said. "How did they do it, Saze? What gave these theologies such power over people?"
"It wasn't one thing, I think," Sazed said. "Some were strong through honest faith, others because of the hope they promised. Others were coercive."
"But they all had passion," Kelsier said.
"Yes, Master Kelsier," Sazed said with a nod. "That is a quite true statement."
"That's what we've lost," Kelsier said, looking over the city with its hundreds and thousands, barely a handful of whom would dare fight. "They don't have faith in the Lord Ruler, they simply fear him. They don't have anything left to believe in."
#ChaseForBookNine
Omg Star...
And - thanks. :) Good and bad is in everything. It's one of the things I keep saying, repeatedly. :)
And - *laughs* :)
Happy things are happy. :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
