Imagine

Apparently I'll be appearing at the Imagine Festival in London this Monday, the 17th. I had a blast last year, where I showed clips from movies, but I'm not entirely sure what I'll do this time. I might read from one of the new short stories. I'd read from the ninth book, but there is nothing from the early sections finished, and anything read from later on would be a spoiler, so...

Oh, and speaking of Book 9, I have just reached the 75,000 word mark. Judging by this, the finished book will be at least 100,000 words, which is Mortal Coil length, and could be longer. LSODM will stay the longest, I reckon, simply because of the massive amount of characters involved. But because most of those characters are now DEAD, Book 9 allows me a smaller, more intimate story — while remaining as heart-rendingly traumatic as anything I've written before.

And speaking of heart-rendingly traumatic, I've actually written the last few chapters. Not to completion, of course, but I've written enough to know what happens, and how it ends, and who lives and who dies, and all I can say is...

I am MEAN.

We had to hoose a class moto today right, and the teacher doesn't know anything about frozen because he hasn't been to the movies in forever, and anyway, my friends/table group were sitting there jpking around and then the teacher came by and.... we suggest "Let It Go" as a moto... that was the only thing suggest.... I'm pretty sure that is now our class moto.... (we were going to suggest "Let The Potato's Fly Free", but we forgot)

On the bus earlier V got pissy. We were laughing at how we think Book 9 will end and she mentions I'll die and I'm like haha Derek likes Ireland alive and she got all pissy over me being in LSODM and I was like...if you asked when everyone else did and not when he was doing the final edits. And then she was all pissy over how she's 'my shadow' I'm like...uh? No? Maybe if you were nicer and actually had listened to me when I said to do things you'd be known. But she decided to yell at me and moan. I think she really did it to herself. Like you have the resources to have come on so many times, you whined to me when I told you. Yeah that kinda irritated me. I'm not to blame when she picked h own fate. Its a wonder she has friends as she is a pain. Don't blame people for who they are if you can't follow what a person tells you to do to get what you want, you obviously didn't deserve or want it that much.


Sorry random rant....

At lunch, my friend C told me that she was on Tumblr, and she found this story cartoon thing. And there was this teddy bear, and he found this girl teddy bear lying by the side of the road, and she was all broken and missing an ear and an eye. And he picked her up and took her home and stitched her up, and then he tore off his own ear and ripped out his own eye and sewed them on her, so he was missing an ear and an eye.
And then when she woke up, she didn't like him because she thought he was ugly.
I was crying so much.
*is crying rn*

And C's friend who I've called 1 was getting all concerned and going "Don't cry" and C was just like "It's fine, I always make her cry" and I was just like "This is what our science lessons are like. XD"

BUT IT'S SO FUCKING SAD.

But C made my absolute MONTH in science, I swear. She said she was writing about me in her diary, and that she said the thing she liked about me was that I thought about everything is such a simple way and had a completely unique perspective on the world and how interesting it was. And that's something I really admire in other people and asdfghjkl I'm so PLEASED.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Also, we have now moved onto biology in science.
Idk if you people remember, but my biology teacher is FANTASTIC. I was saying to C that he sort of reminded me of Derek because he's arrogant, as in he acts like he's the best teacher, and she said, well, he IS the best teacher, so now wonder he acts like it. XD

And I enjoyed biology so MUCH today.
It was really invigorating, learning.
And I said "I've missed biology" and C said "I'd forgotten how GOOD it was."
*nods*

I mean, our physics teacher is just CRAP, so maybe our minds have just been asleep and now we're awake again we're like BEING AWAKE IS SO GOOD, but . . . he gave us all little bits of paper and told us to draw animal cells on them. So we did. And then he told us to "come around the Learning Area, which is this table here:" *taps table at front of classroom* And we had to bring our sheets.
Us: *crowd around table, bringing our sheets*
Him: *takes someone's sheet* I'm going to use the art of mime to present this to you. *holds out sheet in mime-like way, then asks someone -* What's this?
Us: . . . An animal cell.
Him: Correct. *places it on table* *takes another sheet* *presents in in mime-like way* What's this?
Us: . . . Animal cell.
Him: *places it on table* *takes another sheet* Alex, what's this?
Alex: An animal cell.
Him: Yep. *places it on table* *takes another sheet* What's this?
Us: Animal cell. *are beginning to wonder why he's doing this* *wondering if he's going to hold up an incorrect one and catch us out* *wondering if he's going to say something about how even though the diagrams are slightly different, they all represent the same thing* *don't know*
Him: *places it on table* *takes another sheet* What's this?
Us: Animal cell.
Him: *places it on table* And all these cells together, what's this?
Us: . . .
Someone: Is it a tissue?
Him: Yes. *says about how when a group of similar cells work together, it forms a tissue*
(And that's how we found out what a tissue was.)
Him: Let's make another tissue. *gets a few of us to pass him our cells* *he has my cell, now*
*places them in a line beneath the first tissue*
Now, watch this very carefully. I'm going to do something very difficult here.
*adjusts cuff* *takes deep breath* *pushes first tissue towards the second tissue*
Us: *giggle*
Him: Would you like to see it again? *moves tissue back* *pushes it forward again* And what's this?
Us: . . .
Someone: Is it an organ?
Him: Correct.
(And that's how we found out what an organ was.)
Him: *asks the person who answered the question* So what is an organ?
Someone: When multiple tissues get together.
Him: Not just get together, but -
Someone: Work together.
Him: Yes.
Him: *gets people to pass their cells forward to create another organ* *shows that two organs make an organ system* *tells us that when two organ systems work together, it's an organism* *gets us to write that in our books*

Compare that to physics. In physics, she would have just told us that in a few sentences and then we would have done a practical.
We wouldn't have understood it - we wouldn't know what entirely made what - and we wouldn't really remember it.
If we hadn't been listening, it would have slipped right past.
In my biology teacher's lesson, we would have listened. It's silent, we're all standing up, and we're all watching him - he was commanding our attention. Not like in physics, when we're sitting there and she's just kind of talking and we can chose to not listen (or involuntarily drift off.)

Anyway.
If I ever become a teacher, which I probably won't (I don't think I'd be very good at it), then my biology teacher shall be my inspiration and my role model.

Gary: I suppose . . .

Photo: Of course, we needed suits tailor-made for the wedding. You look perfect. I look better, but you still look good.

Gary: . . .
*grins*
I do, I suppose.

Photo: Of course!
Plus, we co-ordinate.

Gary: *smiles*
The chartreuse ties were a nice touch.

Photo: I daresay we'll be the most fashionable gentlemen at the wedding. Girls will be lining up for us. Especially you.

Gary: *looks uncomfortable*
I doubt that.

Photo: Dude, you look great. You look like a pasty white movie star. All the Twilight chicks will be all over that.

Gary: . . . eh.

Which is annoying.

And frustrating.

And I may just go shovel

Noelle said...

Zaf, it is possible to roleplay with more than one person.

*Adra, who is in the area, glances up to see the two familiar faces* Oh gods...

We need to think . . . style.

This wedding is all about . . . style.

Oh!
*nudges Gary*
It's Adra.

Gary: It's-
*eyes widen*
*casually steps behind Photo*
*whispers* Make her go away.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Don't worry I dare not steal the glory.

Noelle said...

*Adra ducks into a store, moving much slower than she would have had she not been growing a human*
*Pretends to browse*

Noelle said...

Zaf, you don't have to say that- you are more than welcome to join Annika and I. Roleplay isn't always 2 people...

Star Inkbright said...

@Annika: *laughs* XD

@Zaf: You can roleplay with them, if you want. :)

If I could roleplay, I'd offer to roleplay with you, but . . .

C says I can write better than her.
Considering I can't write and she's fantastic, I don't know what the hell she's on about. XD

Hmm it often is with you. Its usually you and one other.

And to make it worse they now knocked the mailbox into the road. And my dad is chasing it. Omg...

The Grave of a Coward said...

Gary: *exhales gratefully*
She ducked into a store. We're safe.

Photo: *grabs his arm*
*drags him into the store*
No, Gary, we have to talk to her.

Gary: What? Why?

Photo: We are the wedding planners, are we not?

Gary: *slowly* We are . . .

Photo: And so, we will decide on the bridesmaid dresses. She is a bridesmaid. Therefore, we ought to ask her opinion.

Gary: Oh God . . .

Noelle said...

Because there are multiple things going on.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I'm afraid of a lot of things as well.

Mostly, though, you can sum it up by saying I'm scared of anything I can't run away from, anything I can't control.

Not here now.

Thanks Star, but I'll be fine in a bit.

I'm really sorry, everyone.

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: Well, there aren't an awful lot of roleplayers. Adra is often online. And Em is often roleplaying with you.
(Justifying why that might occur - not arguing. If this turns into an argument, I will probably do what I'm doing now - state explanations for phenomena that occur, but not take sides.)

Noelle said...

*She peeks through the shelves to the road*
*Picks up a book, flipping through it*
*It's a book on the Sanskrit language*
*Frowns*
*She knows it already*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*sighs* now i see why I was slow replying. Msd to go help my dad shovel before the lull ends and he's having a heart attack

Noelle said...

Star, an argument isn't going to happen, don't worry.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Gary and Photo: *furiously whisper-arguing two shelves away*

Noelle said...

*Adra sighs* Might as well..
*Moves one row over, and pulls the books out of the shelf, peering at the two from the other side of the bookshelf*

Hey there!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I'm not in a mood to argue or anything for that matter....

The Grave of a Coward said...

Photo: *smiles dazzlingly*
*he looks particularly fabulous today, in his new suit*
*his eye-shadow matches his tie*
Well, hullo there, Adrasdos! How are things?

Gary: *turns a very very pale shade of pink*
*slinks out of Adra's view*

Noelle said...

*She looks rather fabulous herself, although that has nothing to do with her fashion, rather inheritance*
Good, yourself!

*Glances over* Hello, Gary.

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: Did I tell you that we had a girls-only assembly about stress?
We were all rather scared about the all-girls assembly, because we didn't know what it was about and we were wondering what could be so bad it needed to boys out of the room.
We'd had sex ed with the boys, so . . . :P
And then it was just about stress.
(And the head of year was saying about how everyone got stressed, and even though it might seem like you had more stress than anybody else, we all had the same amount and it was just some people controlled it better than others.
Just, NO.
Oh my gosh.
NO.
Some of us have depression and anxiety, and some of us (me) are just sitting there with fireworks going off inside them because they're so happy!!!
If everyone had anxiety, it would be normal and there wouldn't be fucking disorders for it!
Futhermore, telling us that everyone has the same amount is NOT going to help people feel better at ALL, because people are just going to feel that they manage it badly and that puts more pressure and more feeling bad and creates MORE stress.
Ohmygosh.
Stupidity.
. . . And none of that was actually the point. *closes brackets*)
And . . . um . . .
Anyway, they told us not to worry about things we had no control over.
And even though that assembly was crap in ways, it was good in that way. :)

. . .
Also - I JUST REMEMBERED THAT I FORGOT TO HAND MY GERMAN HOMEWORK IN SHIT.
I forgot it on Tuesday, so I said I'd bring it in on Wednesday, but I forgot, and then I brang it in today (brang is a word fuck you spellcheck), but I forgot to take it to her.

DAMN.

She's going to be really annoyed and stuff.

She emailed me and all asking me about it.

SHIT.

Photo: *smile shrinks by a couple of molars*
I've been . . . I've been well, Adra. Just fine, in fact.
More importantly, I've been doing a lot of wedding-planning lately, and I wanted your opinion on the bridesmaid's dresses.

Gary: Eep.
*tries to crawl away*

Photo: *drags him back into view*
You're familiar with this guy, I'm sure.
He's helping me plan the wedding, though I'm afraid he has no sense of fabulous.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(*raises an eyebrow*
*flips through my gold-embossed dictionary for the word brang*)

Noelle said...

Take a picture of it, or scan it, and email her back, Star.

Oh really? Alright! And yes, I've got a lot of that to do soon as well...

Yes, though- Gary and I are acquainted.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Photo: Well, do you have any strong feelings about what dress you'd like to wear? The color-scheme for the wedding it cream, violet, and . . . would you like to tell her what the third one is?
*nudges Gary*

Gary: *shakes his head violently*

Photo: Come on. You can tell her.

Gary: *shakes it head*
*glances at Adra*
*and looks away nervously*
*it starts to snow indoors*

Photo: Would you like me to tell her?

Gary: *nods*
*whispers the color to Photo*

Photo: *turns to Adra*
It's chartreuse.
The third color is chartreuse.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH NOOO, I CAN'T BE DEALING WITH MEAN THINGS, DOOOOOONNN'TTTTTT :(

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: *laughs* If she wanted it electronically, I could just email her it. Much to her displeasure, I do it on the computer.
She doesn't like typed work.
Although I'm not sure why the hell not, because if I handwrote it she wouldn't be able to read it, and I'm saving her a good amount of time spent trying to decipher it and not realising whether things are spelling errors or not. :P
She needs to have the actual physical copy so she can mark it.
*shrugs*

She'll think I've just not done it. *sighs*
See, an ADD diagnosis would be most helpful in situations like these. Although I'm unsure if I actually have it or not.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*She nods* Hmm...

In my opinion, it would depend on the balance of color. Violent is always a flattering color, though.

Noelle said...

FLORAAAA *hugs*

Star- just send it to show her that it's done and give the copy to her tomorrow.

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* XD

@Flora: I know. :(
Whenever I start up the computer and open the internet browser and click on the remembered websites and scroll down to get to 2014 and click on that and then scroll down the first post, I read the 'I am MEAN' at the bottom and I die inside.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Photo: We figured the menfolk would have a more chartreuse theme,
*gestures to his and Gary's ties*
and the women would be more cream, with violet accents.

Noelle said...

*She nods* That'd look pretty sharp, I have to say. Fabulous!

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: *shrugs* I'll be fine just giving her the copy. :) I DO NOT NEED TO SPEND EXTRA TIME JUSTIFYING MYSELF. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER PEOPLE BELIEVE ME OR WHAT THEY THINK. I KNOW, INSIDE, THAT I HAVE DONE IT, EVEN IF I HAVEN'T HANDED IT IN, AND THAT INNER SENSE OF FULFILLMENT SHOULD BE ENOUGH.
(Although I still need to keep worrying about it because then the exclamation mark in the back of my head will remind me to remember it.)
But thank you, Adra, for helping me reach this conclusion. :)

The Grave of a Coward said...

Photo: Fabulous!
*claps hands*
You see, Gary? This is why I love this girl.

Gary: *nervous laughter*

Photo: *makes a picture-frame with his hands and examines Adra*
For you, I was thinking something about knee-length, with short sleeves. Cream, with violet ribbon. But Gary told me you would look better with something floor length, a little floofy around the edges, and sleeveless, with a low-cut collar. Violet, this time, but with silver buttons and a cream corsage.

Gary: *squeaks in horror*
*whispers* Why did you tell her I said that?

Photo: What do you think?
Bear in mind, this is your dress. Whatever you love, we love too.
