Hello.
Ah, my poor neglected blog. How I have ignored you. Once you were the apple of my eye (okay, not really — the name of this blog is what it is, after all), but then along came Twitter and suddenly you seemed somewhat clunky and... unwieldy...
But see? I have returned. I've been away a lot, I know. Work. I had that book to publish (which went really well, by the way) and then all those tours, including a trip to New Zealand and Australia to meet all those readers with funny accents.
My life has been somewhat chaotic as of late, and when things get chaotic, some other things suffer. You, it seems, are one of these things.
But I'll try to rectify that. I really will. I'm home now, after all, and settling back into normal life. What normal life will bring me, though, I have no idea.

«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 4849 Newer› Newest»I don't believe in shipping all ships. I believe in ahipping all shippable ships. Of which Ezter is one.
. . . I can feel their annoyance. XD
(Sorry. I fell asleep. I'm not entirely sure how long for. I'm a bit disoriented. But it's apparently the same day so hi?)
@Sophia: That's gone into the 'it's somethimg I might get if I were not asexual' corner of my brain, sorry. XD
Hi Sil! Yay for sleep. :)
(Hey Sil, how art thou?)
Hey, Sil. Still sleeping at 3... anyways, *hugs*
Go to sleep earlier next time, ok?
(@Star Yes, that's what I meant :/)
(Hello, Silente. *hugs her*
Star - not even I get that. I doubt it is to do with whether you are asexual or not.)
(I woke up and thought it was morning then looked at the time and got confused as to how long I've slept. Think I've fixed the time clock thing in my head now. How is everyone?)
Stacey: *looks Claire up and down then goes back to what she's doing*
*raises an eyebrow*
(I am average...
You need a better sleeping pattern.)
(im great thanks ^^)
Claire: Hey. I'm being nice to you and you're ignoring me. It's not very nice. We're new here. It's our first day. There were no other tables apart from this one.
@Sophia: Okay. In that case, I don't get it, never have, might be to do with me being socially out of touch. :P
@Tia: Oh, good. :) *hugs* Yes! They're so shippable! And annoyed at me! :P
Fine, thanks, Silente. :) You?
I'm sorry, but Claire x Sil is totally a ship.
(Socially out of touch is something I definitely understand.)
(@Star less sleepy :)
Stacey: *sighs and pulls her hood down, looking at Claire* alright what do you want.
Socially out of touch implies that there's something wrong with a person.
There's nothing wrong with being yourself despite society trying to impose itself on you.
Claire: To speak. *nods* How are you, Stacey?
(Trying to cut out a bat template is HARD)
(Tia - I believe it means more "having no idea about society". It is not necessarily bad.)
Stacey: I was fine. *goes back to her drawing* and now I'm less so. How are you, Tara.
That's what I'm saying, Soph. There's nothing wrong with being out of touch with society.
And we're not exactly representative of normal society anyway :/
Well, I'm not...
@Chloe Keep trying, you can do it!
(Thanks Tia, I shall post my henna when its done)
(I'm in town and gotta get home so wbd, take care Chloe, Star, Sil, and Soph!)
(You're telling me, Tia.)
Claire: I'm good! What are you drawing? *starts eating her sandwich*
(byii Tia!)
Stacey: *hides the drawing while still working on it* nothing..
*leans back, watching*
(You in town too?)
Claire: Hey, you want to see something cool? *reaches into her bag, pulling out a Shuriken* *spins it between her fingers*
*hums along*
Stacey: *looks up and stares*
*puts the drawing aside, studying the shuriken*
*ftowns* Tar...
I call myself socially out of touch because I'm socially out of touch. Maybe it does imply there's something wrong with me. In this context, I really could not care. :P
On the other hand, I AM very socially-influenced, as we all are, and the fact I am a socially out of touch weirdo does not make this any less so, unfortunately. :P
*hugs Star*
I must go.
Claire: Cool, huh? *puts it back in her bag and draws a butterfly knife instead* *spins it in her hand, opening and closing it repeatedly* All fake, of course. But still pretty cool.
Stacey: yeah...cool...
*watches Claire* you aren't eating Tara.
Claire: *pockets the knife* *starts eating her sandwich again* Sorry, Rebecca. So, Stacey do you like weapons?
Good girl.
Stacey: Not particularly..
(Fours, Tia. :()
Claire: You looked pretty interested in the fake weapons. *keeps eating her sandwich*
Stacey: *shrugs and goes back to drawing*
Claire: Could I see your art? I have a fake throwing knife I could show you in return.
Stacey: I doubt it's your type of thing.
*crosses her legs and hums*
Claire: Try me.
*nudges Silente* I'll be finished soon, I'm just interested.
(oops, I poofed
but im back XD)
*smiles* okay. Just don't forget we need to get our games kits still.
Stacey: *shrugs and turns the drawing upside down, pushing it towards Claire*
*its basically a really accurate drawing of a cut up someone's forearm, infected and festering, ivy and other natural plants coming out of it*
(Hey Flick.)
(*smiles* Hey Sil, how art thou?)
Claire: That's so cool! So detailed! I'm so impressed. *finishes her sandwich* Me and Rebecca have to go and buy a PE kit. Do you want to come with us?
Stacey: um...sure...
*raises an eyebrow at Claire but doesn't say anything*
Claire: Come on, Rebecca. *smiles at Silente and Stacey* Do you know where we go to buy the kit?
Stacey: the school shop. They sell everything.
*gets up to walk and smiles*
Claire: Thanks. Is that where you buy the pencil cases? *grabs on to Silente's arm* We have a friend! I'm so happy!
(who ya gonna call?
GHOST BUSTERS!!!!)
Stacey: yeah..
*smiles at Claire* yey?
(*pokes Flick*
*turns into a kitty and sits on her head*)
Claire: Right... So how do we get there from here?
Yes! Yay!
(*pulls kitty off head*
*studies her*
you should be more dog)
Stacey: um...follow me. *sets off in the right direction*
*whispers* is this for a reason or did you decide to make a friend?
(Mew! *licks her hand and purrs*)
Claire: *follows Stacey* ... I wanted a friend. I don't have many friends. And she's interesting. Did you see her art? I wonder where she gets her inspiration from.
(*pulls ears*)
Okay. Hopefully the drawing wasn't that accurate because of personal experience..
Stacey: *stops when they reach the school shop* tada.
(*pins her ears against her head*mew?)
(is that all you can say? *hold kitty upside down*)
Claire: Nah. I don't think so.
*smiles* Thanks Stacey. Do you know how much they are?
(Silente, I have sent you an email.)
*Tia and Tanya charge at Silente and tacklehug her*
Hey! :)
Hey, Sil!
Huuuuugs!
How are youuuu!? :)
(It has been twenty days since my best friend messaged me and now she did I am fainting all over!)
Stacey: I'm not sure...
((*laughs and hugs Tia and Tanya back* hey loonies.))
(*squeaks and *wriggles, back legs kickingj)
(*smirks* don't like that?
*turns into Inky BUnny*)
*a wicked smile appears on Tanya's face*
Oh, you're not going anywhere...
*Tia holds Silente while Tanya begins tickling her*
Claire: Oh well. I'm sure we'll have enough. Do you think you'd be small, medium or large, Rebecca?
(*pounces on Inky Bunny, biting her ear angrily*)
((*squeals and wriggles, giggling, thrashing* n-no!))
(*shakes kitty off*
*hops away*)
Um..
Stacey: she'll be medium. Tara you'll be a small..
(*chases the bunny*
*pounces, claws digging in, biting her ear violently, growling*)
Claire: Thanks! We'll be one moment. *pulls Silente into the shop* Could we have one small and one medium girls' PE kit, please?
(*squeals*
*shakes off kitty*)
*Tanya whistles*
*a wolf appears, and hugs Sil Kitty and Inky Bunny*
*continues the ticklefest*
Shoplady: with or without bags?
(*pounces again, still growling, biting the back of her neck*)
Claire: With, please.
(*squeals at kitty and wolf*
*plays dead*)
((S-stop! *thrashing* *grabs Tanya's wrists* Ha!)
Shoplady: okay. *grabs two bags, handing one to each of them* that'll be twenty pounds.
(*puffs up and hisses at the wolf, running away*)
(*wakes up whenkitty is gone*
*runs away*)
*wolfie looks sad*
*Tia tickles Sil with a wild grin on her face while Sil is busy with Tanya*
((*squeals again and wriggles, giggling* t-trait-tor!))
(((Soph?)))
Claire: *takes out £20 from her pocket and hands it over*
*Tia and Tanya stop and lay down on either side of Silente*
Tia: You can try to tickle one of us, but the other will tickle you, so... ;)
(*pads back and growls at the wolf then runs after FlickBunny*)
(You have pounds in Canada?
Ah, it's in UK.)
(*turns to see kitty*
*hops faster*)
((Meanies.... *rolls so shes on the other side of tanya and starts tickling her*))
Shoplady: *hands them a paper receat*
Thanks! *walks out with Claire*
Stacey: *is picking up her arm stuff which is scattered over the ground*
(*turns back human* flick?)
(*stop*
*looks up at Sil*
*whiskers twitch*)
Claire: What happened, Stacey?
(*picks the bunny up*)
Stacey: nothing ...just clumsy...
*helps her pick stuff up*
(*tilts head*)
(*strokes her ear* sorry..)
(*purrs*
*stubby tail wiggles*_)
(*smiles* good bunny.)
(*turns human and glomps Sil*)
Claire: ... Did someone push you?
(*is glomped*)
Stacey: ...no.
*stands, handing her her stuff*
Stacey: thanks.
(im having a dance off with my bro)
(*sighs*
Okay, I dedicate this page to cute small fluffy animals
and world peace)
(I forgot to ded the last page...
Hear hear!
I ded the last page to adoption, surugucy and 'tadpole' banks. And to Luci and Fabi and Adra and Star.)
(*Hops up on ti Inky's head settling down between her ears*
Somebody say cute small fluffy animals?)
(To*)
(hear hear Sil!
Hi blake!
*holds blakey kitty*
*tilts head* you again...)
Why me? O_O *hugs Silemte* :) Hear hear. :)
(Oh look its ugly!)
(*Mews cutely and nuzzles her hand*)
Claire: ... Are you sure?
(*Turns around and hisses at Sil*)
(*hugs star* because you are amazing and deserve it.)
(*smirks at Blake* ugly kitty.)
Stacey: yes...its fine. Anyway, games?
Games
Claire: Yes! Games! *smiles* Are we going?
(*Squirms in Inky's hands, flailing his little arms wildly at Sil*)
(Im not a fan of cats personally
*drops blakey kitty*)
:P
I don't want this to become one of those arguments, so I'm going to disagree, express my gratitude (:)) and then drop the matter. :)
(*Gracefully twists in the air and lands on his feet. He rushes towards Sil, hissing up a little storm*)
(I'm not a fan of animals. XD)
(*picks up Blake kitty and cuddles*)
Yep.
Stacey: *sets off walking with then towards the sports hall*
(*hiccups*
*sits on the floor*
*thinks about the advert 'be more dog'*)
(*Struggles for a moment, then goes limp and gently cuddles her back*)
(wbd, making icing)
(I do not like animals, either.)
Claire: *follows* What year are you in, Stacey?
(*strokes Blake kitty* chi's ugly kitty.)
((star I would like to disagree with your disagreement due to the fact that YOU'RE AMAZING NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY *nods*))
Stacey: eight. A year above you right? They held me back a year though..
Claire: Yes. We're in year seven. Why did they hold you back?
(*Frowns at being called ugly, but keeps nuzzling her anyways*)
Stacey: I screwed up in some tests..
(*places Blake on her shoulder* who needs a parrot.)
Claire: ... Oh. That's horrible.
("Caw")
Stacey: yeah...it wasn't the best.
(*smiles* good kitty.)
Claire: Where did you get your inspiration for that drawing?
(*Nibbles her ear*
*He is not a "good kitty"*)
(im back from making vampire pumpkin cakes XD)
Stacey: the arm? I dunno I just...I like sitting in the school garden...its pretty...*shrugs*
(ow! *flicks his nose*)
@Sophia: Maybe it IS something to do with a dislike of physical contact. O_O
. . . Nah, I just don't like animals. XD
@Silente: Thank you. :) *hugs* *still disagrees but*
Vampire pumpkin cakes! O_O
(Xd they were crap, in fairness)
(*Meows sharply and hides his face, ears laying flat against his head*)
(It could be linked but I rather doubt it.)
Claire: It's really interesting.
(Aww.. *strokes between his ears*)
Stacey: um thanks.. *hands Claire her arm book, stuffed full of sheets* there's more in there..
(*sings along to 'I wanna' by all American rejects*)
(this is the crap cake I made----->)
(@Flick its beautiful.)
(hehe thanks XD it was meant to be a pumpkin, but I couldn't get the shape. I added a face and red dye XD)
@Sophia: Me too. I think it's genetic, for me. :/
:) They look cool, Inky!
Claire: Thanks! Is it alright if I take it home and bring it back to you tomorrow?
*looks at Silente* Are you alright, Rebecca?
(Thanks Star ^^)
Stacey: sure but Erm...careful with it?
Yeah fine..
(I just can think of no reason to like animals.)
Claire: I will. Are you both ready for games?
(*relaxes and slumps over her shoulder, tail swinging back and forth slowly*)
(*smiles, tickling under his chin* softy.)
Yep.
Stacey: ugh. Yeah..
(anyone a fdan of Panic at the disco?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFSIm3Zeecg)
Claire: Wait, you have games at the same time that we do, Stacey?
Do you get an option of what to do or do you just get told?
(I will be back in a moment.)
Stacey: I have a...therapy period as they call it. I get to do what I want..
Puny mortals. Hello.
(*Purrs in response, lifting his chin to make it easier to scratch*)
(heya Trip!
how art thou?)
(Stoic. France will not fall to the traitorous British!)
(*nods* true...)
brb, dinner
(okay Trip)
(Quick example of what Stacey did ------>)
Claire: That makes sense.
*whispers to Silente* I'll go into the toilet and change out of my armour when we get there.
(That's really good, Silente. It is a nice drawing.)
(Brill drawing! I cant draw hands to save my life!)
(Thanks guys..I'm quite pleased with it...there are a few annoying parts but considering its a quick sketch on a white board its good.)
*whispers back* okay
Stacey: why? You want me to join your games group today?
(Hello I'm here now *smiles* )
(Gar!!! *glomps*)
Claire: If you want? It'd be nice.
*whispers to Silente* Are you alright?
(*gets glomped and falls to the ground with a happy inky* Hello,
yes it is i,
how be you wolfie)
Stacey: sure okay then. I was gonna go to the garden but games sounds cool.
*whispers* sure..
(I be great thanks
You tiger? *snuggles*)
I have returned!
(i (Claudius) be very happy thank you *smiles while being snuggled*)
(Welcomes trip!)
(Today has been a great day ^.^)
(Hello trip, how be you?)
(Has it been a great day inks?)
Claire: *continues to whisper* Are you sure?
Yes. That sounds good. *nods and smiles* *they reach the PE department*
(It has ^.^ I've been talking to you all day )
(true that, we have been talking all day so that explains everything)
(My little brother approves of mass effect 3. Granted he's never played one or two but he likes number 3)
*whispering still* yeah..
Stacey: okay then. First changing rooms by the looks of it..
(We talk all day everyday XD)
(its a bit daft just playing mass effect 3 and not playing the first 2 ?)
(yup, i don't get how we do it Inks but somehow we do)
(It never gets boring XD)
(Give me credit I couldn't find one or two so i bought him number three instead..)
(true there too)
(fair doo's there Sil)
(I'm a celebrity has been advertised)
(Dammit
Did I kill the conversation?)
