And because I don't have ENOUGH to do at this time of year...
Alrighty then, here's a fun little thing I've been working on, and I need your help. I'm editing together a video (and I'm very new to editing, so I haven't a clue what I'm doing) of many people singing what is basically the 12 Days of Christmas, but with a difference.
If you want to be a part of this, all you have to do is send an email to skulteams@hotmail.com, giving me permission to use your video in making MY video. We, in turn, will get back to you with the lines I need you to sing. You then go off, sing these lines into your phone or camera or whatever — it can be you, it can be you and a friend, you and your family, or a group, or a pet, or a puppet, or your favourite kettle — and send these (SHORT!) videos back to the skulteams address so you can be edited in.
(Oh, and one minor details, for those of you under the age of 18... GET YOUR PARENTS' OR GUARDIANS' PERMISSION!)
If you could keep the lines you sing to yourself— i.e. don't tweet them! — that would be very helpful! The lines will be given out tomorrow, the final deadline is Monday night, with the full video to be released on Christmas day, right here on my blog.
Provided I learn how to edit by then.
NO MORE APPLICANTS! ALL SPACES FILLED! GOOD GOD THERE ARE OVER 100 OF YOU!
THOSE WHO GOT THEIR APPLICATIONS IN HAVE UNTIL 7 PM (IRISH TIME) ON MONDAY TO GET THEIR VIDEOS IN!

#ChaseForBook9
Alrightyhoodily - so, I dedicate this fabulous page to -
-Y'all. You are all fabulously and lovely and wonderful and just truly fab. (Including you, Lucy, because you are very fab.)
-CHRISTMAAAAAAS. Christmas in fun and awesome and I hope everyone has a lovely one!
-The Twelve Days video, because I have a feeling it will be very, very awesome.
-Musicals, because musicals are really fabulous. Les Mis, Phantom of The Opera and Jekyll and Hyde are among my favourites.
-Opera. Because. Opera.(Seriously though, The Magic Flute by Mozart is lovely.)
-Covering walls in posters, because that's pretty.
-THE FACT THAT IT'S SHERLOCK ON NEW YEAR'S.
So. Um. I'm not really sure what else.
I just sort of ramble.
Cheese.
NO WORRIES!
What's up?? :(
BYE EVERYONE WHO'S LEAVING!
Aw, Char! *huggles* Awesome ded:3
I'm just worried that Imperfect's storyline is too risky and I'm not a good enough writer to pull it off, haha:P
Ello lovelies
Hear hear!
#ChaseForBook9
SHEEERLOCK IS SOON
LET THE FANGIRLING COMMENCE
Hey Nev!
I just learnt how to sing happy birthday in Korean ^-^
But you aaarrreeee
and why is it so risky?
But I'm nottttttt
Self-harming, bipolar, eating disorders, suicide. All risky topics. All of them play large parts in this story...!
*lays down in ground* I swear..
Swear what, Zaf?
that was a legit question, for the record...
I'm gonna kill my dad he hasnt come home from work he legt me with mom ugh
Bb
@Luce: Very true - they are! But you can manage it!
I hope so...!
This second chapter's just awful though. D:
It's just doing my head in. :P
Ditto with WAY! Hence why I re-wrote it :P
EVERYTHING about Imperfect is annoying me though, I can't rewrite it all! It's nowhere near even finished from the last time it annoyed me. :P
Finally finished the stupid clothes
@Mushroom: Imperfect sounds incredible, and what I've read of it is incredible, and if you dare give it up, I will attack you with a mascara gun. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Two days.
#ChaseForBookNine
I ditto what Star says, though I will attack you with stickers
Star, there's a new part of my ME story if you're interested.
Adra, if you're still here, don't leave. *hugs* *may or may not be here*
#ChaseForBook9
You guys are such turnips! *huggles Flora and Star*
I edited the first chapter last night and that's not bad, but some things are just doing my head in, y'know?:P
Needless to say, I am..
And I do apologize for acting childishly. That was out of term..
Apology accepted Adra
Hey Ari if you're here!
Why is Adra apologizing...? She's done nothing wrong... :s
*is completely confuddled with life right now*
(Did I miss the part where Adra did something wrong...?)
I'll probably be gone any minute now, but I still feel that pull totalk to you guys or rp or something. Blogland has a lot of gravity.
#ChaseForBook9
oh my fucking god lu
*smiles feeling someone poke me, Olivia* hey baby girl *picks up* You look so pretty
Olivia: Momma Alexis isn't gonna kiss Lorcan at the Ball is she?
Well if they do its okay.
Olivia: But...*yawns*
Why don't you see if Christopher wants company.
Olivia: *jumps down and goes and plays with Christopher*
No I kinda just stalked out childishly, is what
And I know the feeling Ari
Ari will you be back? *huggles*
Sparkyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
(this is funny because I wrote a scene in ITS where Sparx and Luce said something very similar at the same time and they're full on bros I love it. Brotp man)
*hugs her*
We're ridiculous.
And amazing.
THE HIGHEST OF FIVES
Sorry, my siblings were talking to me. :)
Severe msd. This place has a bad reaction on me atm. Still love you all to bits, though. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Why do people even say 'love to bits', anyway?
#ChaseForBookNine
I REQUEST THE HIGHEST OF FIVES

HELLO FLORAAAAAAAAAAAAA
hi everybody...
Hello Em! :)
Hello Emmm!:)
Luce Luce Luce Luce Luce
Hi Em
What Flora?!
Everyone okay today??
I'm good thanks Em! You?
@Luce: AMY IN WAY IS MAKING ME SAD
AMY IS BEAUTIFUL WHY IS SHE MAKING YOU SAD WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER DON'T YOU DARE KILL HER OFF I LOVE THAT STUPID BRAT TO PIECES NO

I'm in a bit of pain today but I'm sure I'll be okay.
*huggles Em*
Oh, Em :( *hugs*
@Luce: I PROMISE I WON'T
BUT SHE'S JUST
GAH
:(
aWHHHHH, I AM SCARED AND EXCITED TO READ IT
Don't worry about me my biggums.
I'm sure I'm okay.
Hey guys, just to say I managed to type up Chapter 7 part 2 and Chapter 8 tonight if you want to read them.
Bye again ^.^
SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN(ish)
Is Lorcan taking Lexi to the Ball?
I'm in a lot of pain tonight Zaf and I didn't even know there was a ball so... *shrugs*
Tonight at midnight your time its the Christmas Eve Ball
Did you not hear what I just said?
I have real people issues that I'm dealing with right now so my fictional characters are the last thing on my mind.
Woah chill. I read what you said and you said you didn't know there was a Ball, sorry for asking. Next time I won't.
Hello!!
*hugs Em* I really, really hope you're okay. :( *hugs*
And crossing fingers is just an action.
Doing that won't help anything.
But if that ignites hope within you -
then it will do something, because love isn't the most powerful magic of all, emotions are the most powerful magic of all, and hopefully my hope will just blast through the layers of reality and help you out, because you're amazing and you deserve to be hoped for. :) I love you. We love you. Hang on in there. Or, you know, stop hanging and sit on a ledge in there. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Greetings?
*hugs em*
Hey, Snow. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey, Ed. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey ed
Hello Snow and Star
You know when you've know about a band for months because you've been playlisting them, and you kind of thought they were meh, and then one day, you go hey, they're actually quite cool, and then you're listening to them, and then, all of a sudden, these realisation just HITS you that they're awesome, they're amazing, and all of a sudden you're in the best mood you've been all day and suddenly everything just CONNECTS, because you've been disconnected form reality for the past few days and then suddenly you feel like you again, you're here, and you're like well hello, nice to see YOU again, and . . .
Yeah, I had a bit of a wow moment there. :)
#ChaseFOrBookNine
Oh, guess what? M and my friend are definetly making a doctor who themed film
[hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Lets just see how I am after my painkillers kick in Zaf.
Hey everyone and *hugs* to all.
@Snow: Yay! :)
Hey, Lantern! :) *hugs* You're awesome. :) It needed saying.
#ChaseForBookNine
A Doctor who themed film?
*hugs all very, very tightly*
This call
Is so crazy
Anyway, I shall enjoy my good mood whilst I am, because if I am bipolar, then this is a depressive episode. *nods*
And if I'm not, then either way, I'm still me and I still rock. :)
*hugs Em* I hope they kick in. :) Kicking walls is better than punching them because when you punch then, you can break your hand. So if they try and punch in they'll be injured and won't work as well. If they kick in, their shoes will protect them. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Sparku! :)
@Adra: :) *hugs her back*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey fab.
I might be here for the christmas eve ball but I might not, so... give people hugs for me if I don't make it

*spreads rejoicefulness everywhere*
*like peanut butter on toast*
#ChaseForBooknine
My mum refused to have that on the x-mas cards
I need to do some slea and let people know snows back... *left sigh*
I thought you were Snow?
Rp. Was talking rp ed.
(What happened to Snow the character then? You might not have noticed but I am a bit behind.ha ha)
*face palm* snow faked her death.
I shall only ask one more question, I think. Why?
It's complicated. Long.
Ok, Anything that Ed can help with, just ask.
Kay.
*grins* omg its soon
Okay lol... my brother just read my profile and now he claims he's "scarred for life"
What exactly is the christmas ball? Is it like thr requim one or?
My friend is watching Sherlock with me for the first time

Hello Rhydian
Sorry, I was at a party haha
RHY RHY RHY THE BALL IS SOON
@Rhydian: Aw, odd moods suck. :( I would ask one kind, but all the odd moods I've had suck in one way or another, so . . .
I hope it goes away soon and stops bothering you. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye Snow!
Mara...
Er...
I need a vase
Oh yes, the Ball! Forgot all about it. Preoccupied.
A vase?
Hey Mara! :)
To be honest, I only just refound myself. I've spent most of today not being able to be here because I don't feel like it. Plus, it's Christmas. So I'm going to kind of miss Blogland when the Ball comes. :(
Unless I go back to how I was for most of today, in which case I won't have been here anyway. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello Mara
*passes Adra a vase* :)
How long does this ball last, anyway?
I miss Blogland already. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*grins* MIDNIGHT *looks oddly happy*
Ravel: she's oddly happy...*kissesher cheek* Zaffy you look wonderful
Hi Star! Hi Mara! Hey Ed! Hiya Zaffy!
Well...The Ball is a 24 hour thing really. All day tomorrow
Shouldn't the christmas ball be on christmas day?
Thanks. *puts the flowers in a vase* Thank you
And I know *hugs Star*
Er...Doesn't have to be?
*hugs everyone* Hullo :)
omg i sang karaoke like four times and my friends recorded it nuuuuuuu
*looks at Adra* A vase?
Oh. For the bouquet. *smirks*
Well if it was on Christmas day nobody could come, Ed.
Fair enough.
Yeah 24hrs it'd be midnight tonight til midnight tomorrow its the Christmas Eve one
You little fox, Mara. I won't forget
You know you love me, Adra. *grins*
HEY GUYS PLEASE READ THIS:
http://www.wattpad.com/32434884-charissus-short
THANK YOU ILY
(Sorry for being distant - Skype)
Can I ask y'all something kinda deep/personal?
The person I like has apparently found out that I like them. And I have a suspicion (I blame Corvo, she planted the idea in my head) that they also like me...what should I do?
Feel awkward for asking that, sorry. Just not sure what to do
I READ IT LUCE!!! IN SCHOOL! AND I LOVED IT!!!!!
Hmm talk to one another
Great story Luciana
No idea Rhydian, sorry.
I wouldn't know, sorry Rhy /: *hugs*
Mara-... Ya
Rhy- just ask then? Or wait for them to move
Anybody heard the war of the worlds musical? or the original broadcast?
I must go eat
Bye Zaf
Thanks guys. Sorry for asking such a weird question like that...I'll just /try/ and talk to them? Coz they're really shy and probably won't say anything. Jesus Christ I hate fancying somebody -.- just so awkward. And in their company you just completely crumple!
Bye Zaffy!
Crumble**
I recall hearing that story, actually.
That was the one broadcasted on the radio and people actually thought there was an alien attack, no?
#ChaseForBook9
Thats the one Fabi
I'm sorry, Rhydian.
My experience talking to people I like is basically: I don't.
And that's completely no help!
Good luck, though.
#ChaseForBook9
Zerrie :')
ZERRIE
Oops, I'm still wearing the dress.
[Goes in search of Esquibeth]
#ChaseForBook9
Well...My friend is always saying that nothing gets done if you don't talk to people. I'll probably chicken out. *nods*
Adra got the bouquet
*Walks into Trips bar and takes drink leaving money*
Yeah...
Part of me understands that, usually.
And then I don't talk to people anyway...
Heh...
#ChaseForBook9
*goes into house and climbs the stairs and walks into his room and changes then gets comfortable in bed and turns TV on*
Christmas Eve soon...*looks at time* Christmas Eve in about half an hour
I hope John can come on tonight
My travel bug has been to Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, Washington, Oregon, Alberta, British Columbia and Thailand. :-)
It's traveled 204,700 miles. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
Ahahahahahhahaahahaa Christmas!!
*
I keep sitting here, refreshing the pave, and sayng nothing. I start saying things, and then delete them.
I'm not sure I'm really here, even if I am here.
But I'm still happy, so it's all good. :)
This place is slowly lowening my mood though, so I might just go play Minesweeper. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I just wrote a really pretty song...
STAR ILL SEND IT TO UOU
That happens to me, too, sometimes. [hugs Stararar]
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs them both* :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*Mara hugs Harry tightly, swaying in the empty ballroom*
Mara: We're married. Huh.
Harry: I know. It's strange. But not very different.
Mara: Mmm. *leans up and kisses him*
((HARRALIE!!!!!!!!!!))
Remember that if you need me I'm always on email, and I'm apparently good at making people feel better. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Mara. :)
Everyone's irritating me for no reason, so I think I'll go. :) Fours. Love you all.
#ChaseForBookNine
WELL FUCK.
:P
#ChaseForBookNine
((*hugs Star* Sorry for annoying you... bye x)
Night Star *hugs*
*Adra sits in her chair, smiling*
And, well, I sent the song anyway. It's on the piano... Maybe it'll relax you? Maybe not. You don't have to email back, but I just thought you might enjoy it
*sits with Ravel*
Ravel: Mmm you look lovley
oh by the way,Free drinks from Trips bar until midnight. *Takes drink*
(Bye Star)
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar plums danc'd in their heads
Found that on Wikipedia.
Adra mind sending me that song?
*Hits Ed with a baseball bat*
Ravel: *lays with on the couch*
*Falls from being hit and takes another drink* Thanks Adra
*Grabs his arm, pulls the drink from his hand and tosses him out the door*
*Draws a sword and places it under his chin* Back out, Edward. I'm mean to be watching Harralie dance
*immediately lays beside him*
Ravel: Its wonderful to spend this time together.
*kisses*
Ravel: *kisses back*
Hmmm what do you think we ough to do?
*Places hand on sword and pushes it away standing* Why cant I drink in peace?
