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.

But you, Fabi, are also Odd. Very Odd.

Hi Elleni! :)
Yessss
It's a lieeeeeeeeee
Thank you Star.
Wait, Elleni, it's tomorrow already. Shouldn't you be asleep?
*noms the light saber* yum.
You are not the same ages as me, ms Shakespeare.
YES SOPHIA WE ARE
HOW KIND OF YOU TO NOTICE
ECITON OT UOY FO DINK WOH
ERA EW AIHPOS SEY
@Sophia: Yes, I know. :) Hi! :)
*smiles at Fabi more*
*Snakespeare gdi auto correct
That's not even my surname though
*looks at Sophia* one of us, one of us
Ideally, yes, but there are reasons why I couldn't be asleep even if I wanted to be.
Edible lightsabres? O_O
I WANT ONE
Hang on.
*frowns*
Then it would just get eaten and I wouldn't have one.
NEVER MINDDDDDD

@Elleni: Isn't it Saturday?
@Snow: Six foot. :)

WUT
DAT WAS INCHES
MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A LIEEEEE
I SHOULD KNOW
I'M FROM THE COUNTRY THAT ACTUALLY USES THOSE UNITS
5'8"
five feet eight inches
@Lantern: -_-
Ah. :P
@Elleni: Can't you read more on non-sleepy days? :/
A six foot badger would be weird. Six inch would still be weird, but more logical.
I HEAR THEMERLIN THEME BRB
MERLIN IS ON SQUEEEEEEEE
My abs hurt...
Fabiiii.... you should try to sleep.
@Elleni: Oh. :/ Sleep is still good though. :)
MERLINNNNNNNN :)
(Elleni - a certain individual is requesting that you would go to sleep.)
I can't.
There's so much mucus/phlegm, and I have to cough it up every few minutes so I can breathe.
(I forget which goop is which, sorry)
*hugs fabi* I'm the same. I'm coughing every five seconds. It's so annoying and painful.
@Elleni: . . . Okay. :)
*hugs Lantern*
:/
Tried using an extra pillow?
I'm using two extra pillows
I think that might be part of the problem, though. Like,no think the goo is dripping out of my nose and down into my lungs...
@Lantern: . . . :/
*knows no advice*
*can just hug*
*hugs*
*hugs fab* try inhaling steam.
Haven't got any steam.
I mean, I could get out of bed and go heat some water, but the heater's broken, so it's freezing, and I don't want to get out from under these blankets.
That's why I didn't mention it earlier, though.
I don't need people trying to fix me all the time.
I mean, I appreciate the thought, but...
I'm starting to feel like a problem.
I think I'm going to go now, bye.
:/
Okay fab... get better soon.
(I am here y darlings! *yawns*)
Okay . . . fours. :/ But you're not a problem. We love you. :)
Hi Inky! :)
(How art thine self this fine morning, Star?)
(*falls asleep in corner* )
Fine, thank you. :)
Sorry, will slowly get more distant - going out soon . . . D:
How're you? :)
(That's okay
I'm tired but I can't go back to sleep
My mum is singing on top of her voice. My mum thinks she is a teenager and is as annoying as one
She needs to mature at times)
That sounds annoying. :/
(It is
Just a few more years...)
(The first Alice was a wrathful woman of the spade.
And righteously she held a sharpened blade within her hand.
Never hesitating to slay all within her way.
Creating paths of blood that followed her through Wonderland.
Deep into the darkened forest, Alice walked the line.
Captured and imprisoned as an embodiment of Sin.
If it were not for the murderous wake left behind.
No one would have suspected that she had ever been.
The second Alice was a fragile man of the diamond.
The broken echo of the lies within demented words.
He sang his twisted melodies to all in Wonderland.
Creating the image of the sick and the disturbed.
Deadly, yet so beautiful a voice just like a rose.
Was shot by a madman who silenced him to death.
A single rose bloomed in his place with no music composed.
With twisted grin this dying man lay breathing his last breath.
The third Alice was an innocent young girl of club.
An enchanting, graceful figure in the world of Wonderland.
She charmed the people in the land to her beck and call.
A peculiar country answering to each command.
So she rose into the throne to be the country’s queen.
Consumed by paranoia of her own impending death.
Soon the queen succumbed to a dark and nightmarish dream.
Disguised in kindness, loathing fate, she secured her regime.
And as this past two children walked in the woods.
Partaking in tea underneath the trees they’d never part.
They found an invitation to the queen.
It was the Ace of Hearts.
The fourth Alice was a duo of curiosity.
Both were lost and could not find the boat where they began.
And so they ran through countless open doors so recklessly.
A brother and a sister running wild through Wonderland.
A stubborn elder sister.
A witty younger brother.
But they had strayed too far into Alice’s Wonderland.
They were never woken from their terrifying dream.
Forever they would wander this twisted fairytale.

(I haven't heard that.)
(There is this guy called Razzy on youtube who does English versions of these vocaloid songs.
That one is called 'alice of human sacrifice' which he posted yesterday)
(I have to go now
im off shopping!
bbl)
*nods* :)
Fours!
So after little sleep and a lot of convincing on others parts I suppose I'm back...maybe. So uh..hi? And sorry too..
(Hello.)
(Hey Soph. *hugs* You know, there is a sure fire way you could've used to get me to return...but that's besides the point. *hugs tighter*)
(*hugs her back* What way?)
(That's for me to know and you to deduce. *nods*)
(I see. I will attempt to find it out.)
*hugs Sil*
...
(*hugs Tia* hey..how are you?)
(I know you will Soph.)
(Apologies. I disappeared briefly.)
Hey Sil and Soph.
What's wrong, Sil?
(Darn it, gtg eat)
(Goodbye Tia.)
(Nothing at the moment Tia. Well nothing concerning me. I suppose saying nothing is wrong is incorrect when you take Ebola and what not into the picture..)
(@Soph where did Claire & Sil get to?)
(Claire and Silente were about to go to the nurse, I believe. However I understand if you do not wish to roleplay. It is up to you if you want to continue just yet.)
(Its fine. Rp is fun :)
Teacher: come this way *starts walking*
*stops hugging Claire* plan or not i WILL kill them...you any idea who the mage is yet?
I'm so tired... I know that I shouldn't be, but it's 9:45pm and I'm about to pass out... I'm actually kinda dizzy... Like, everything is all whirly and my brain ain't working right and I just want a hug and to curl up somewhere...
Also, my fingers are stiff. The joints aren't working right....
*Yawns and curls up into a ball, snuggling down into her jacket*
Claire: *whispers* None at all. *starts following the teacher*
(I will be back in a brief moment.)
(*hugs Deathy* go to sleep Death..)
Hm. *walks with her*
Teacher: I'll get the principal while the nurse checks you over...Rebecca you will probably have to leave at that point. *opens nurses door to find the room full of the boys with broken wrists* oh my..
Rping Leo Valdez is kinda fun XD
*Cuddles Sil back, pulling her to the ground with her*
I don't wanna... I wanna talk to Loki...
(*sits with Deathy, hugging still* I know...but Loki is asleep..)
Loki will eventually wake up...
*Snuggles into Sil's side*
I wanna see Loki...
*hugs Rose and Sil*
Hey! :)
(Sil, what was wrong before? Why did you almost leave?)
(I know...but he might not be here for a while...you could take a nap?)
I am ace at being the Valdez. XD
(Many reasons Tia. None of which matter because they don't exist right now.)
*Pulls Tia down with her and cuddles tight*
Hi...
Sil, I'd never wake up...
*huggles*
Okay... Just don't scare me like that, ok?
...
*warm hug is warm*
Random Plot generator:
Death Rose is a slender, toned and charming hitman from Asgard. Her life is going nowhere until she meets Loki Laufeyson, a strong, sexy man with a passion for ruling.
Death takes an instant disliking to Loki and the wild and malicious ways he learnt during his years in Midgard.
However, when a Dark Elf tries to frighten Death, Loki springs to the rescue. Death begins to notices that Loki is actually rather witty at heart.
But, the pressures of Loki's job as a mother leave him blind to Death's affections and Death takes up destruction to try an distract himself.
Finally, when controlling father, Malekith , threatens to come between them, Loki has to act fast. But will they ever find the odd love that they deserve?
...
Well...
I went to sleep at 4.30 and it's not great. Get some sleep while you can, Soph!

(I've had an eventful morning... I bought city of bones, but I can't read it until I read tess of the durbervilles and the colour purple. Then, I had a Starbucks. A French guy was serving me and my mum and we both noticed that he was staring at me....)
*hugs sil again before letting her go*

(I'm bored
I'm sitting in the car whilst everyone is watching my brother play football
I would go out, but it's cold and it looks like it's going to rain)
*nods*
Ohh... Cold... I miss the cold already... I was burning... Today was 31°C already...
(Of, that is boiling. I don't think wales is capable of getting that warm...)
XD I honestly can't believe no one has asked about my name
Well, Inly, you've never had a 41°C day before, have you? The roads turn the liquid, eggs can be fried on the pavement, the water outside burns your skin...
I assumed your house was full of fans and you were thankful for them because you don't have cooling.
(That is just...wow. I couldn't survive in that heat)
Us Aussies are tough. We're brought up in one harsh climate.
(I applaud you. I prefer the cold
That's why I like going skiing)
(I am back.)
(It is 14 degrees here in gorseinon)
One of my friends aren't... They're not well... I'm scared for her.
(Aww Death... *huggles*)
Aye, I love the warmth...
*dreams of going to Australia to meet Rose*
Fan Lord is a merciful god.
It's a long story. And it involves a group of insane band members. XD fun times
(Feck
I was singing to this high pitched song
I sung so high and awful I scared myself)
Come in winter, Tia. That's when it's normal temperature.
*Cuddles*
*cannot afford ticket*
*cuddles a stuffed hedgehog toy*
*puts toy in catapult*
*aims at Australia*
*hopefully Rose will have a new toy by the end of today*
Holy shit something just made a thump outside out house...
(Hey Soph.)
(Dun dun dun...)
(Hello, Silente. *hugs her*)
Claire: Oh. I wonder what happened.
Oh God. Tia... I'm hoping that thump was the hedgehog toy...
*Sends Tim Tams by koala mail*
(*catapults you dragons to everyone* here is the welsh dragon)
(*hugs soph back*)
*the boys all glare at her*
Boy3: her! She did this!
Nurse: *looks at Claire* ...she's younger than you.
Boy3: she's a flipping ninja!
Teacher: Tara did you do this?
*is busy memorising their faces*
WALES
(Wales is an awesomeplace to live ^^)
I really need a hug... :'(
(*huggles death tightly*)
Claire: I have no idea what they're talking about! *sobs* ... I've never seen them before... I... I didn't even get chance to defend myself when the other boys attacked me... *cries into the teacher's arm* ... I would never hurt anyone...
*Cuddles Inky back tightly*
My author is currently sobbing...
*huggles Rose*
*with a faint smile*
(Tim Tams?)
(Oh, Claire...)
(Hi, Soph!)
((What's wrong, Danni?))
(Death...its going to be alright *strokes hair*)
*Huggles Tia tightly, burying her face in his chest*
(Look up Tim Tams...)
Teacher: shh...its okay... *pats her back awkwardly* could you check her over please? Some boys attacked her.
Nurse: of course. The other one?
Teacher: moral support.
Nurse: I haven't the room for moral support. She'll have to go.
((My best friend is thinking of suicide. My bed partner, who is her ex, is really worried... We were just talking and he said that he couldn't take hearing about Rach anymore... Because it hurt all too much and now I'm scared for her... She's become really withdrawn from everyone recently...))
No... I probably won't, Inky...
*deb partner
(*huggles tightly*
I know how you feel
this guy im friendly with, he was telling me how he felt like suicide...I fear for him)
It'll be ok...
So don't know anymore..
*I
Claire: ... I'm not going in without her.
Forgive me. My author would like to amend my previous statement.
She wasn't crying.
But now, she has put a whole new meaning on the word 'sobbing'.
She can barely see...
Teacher: Tara honey there isn't enough space for moral support..
(*huggles Death tightly* oh baba)
Claire: Then make space! I am not going without her. So either she comes in or I'm not... *sobs*
Baba...?
*Huggles back tightly*
(baba is what I call someone when theyre upset *strokes hair* just think positive thoughts)
I just told her ex that at the rate she's deteriorating, that she probably won't be able to handle herself much longer...
How can that be okay??
It won't be okay!! I just possible ruined his life!!
I need to go. Bye.
(Death...im always here if you need me)
But the worst thing about it all...?
It's true...
Teacher: *looks helplessly at the nurse*
Nurse: *sighs* fine. Just this once.
(Death... *doesn't let her go*)
(You should not regret telling the truth, Rose. It is better than luring someone into a false sense of security.)
Claire: ... Thank you... *holds Silente's hand*
Danni...
It will be ok.
If you have to go, good bye and take care!
(Wbd...)
*holds her hand and leads her in*
Claire: *looks at the nurse* Do I have to do anything or...?
(how do you test for concusion?)
(im not sure...)
(its gone quiet)
(I have to leave but I'll be available via email for a while.)
(okay Soph)
(Google it.)

Actually, wait, I lied. It's not mock week. It's our maths and English mocks. Then mock week is in December.
I'm lying, I didn't lie. My brain malfunctioned.
Or am I lying?
Or am I lying about lying?
Who can tell?
(you aren't lying ^^

(I hope you get a job, Chloe!
Hey, Star!

I must have lied sometimes. :P
Well, good luck!! :)
Jobs sound really scary, to me. *shrugs*
Hi Tia! I'm fine, thanks. :) About to do a maths past paper, or maybe get distracted and not. XD How're you? :)
Green hair? O_O That's cool. :)
