Oh, Bloggy

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.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: What is your mum like?

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

What's the Northern Territory?-Zaf

Inky Flame said...

Just a bit. But hey, who isn't a little bit narcissistic?

Edward Fletcher said...

*Laughs* I'm joking, I know I am

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stacey: After mum died..a lot happened and, well, this happened.


Happened?

Inky Flame said...

You will be fine *smiles*

Jophiel said...

I did... I missed you heaps...

*She beamed up at him, pressing tightly against his chest*

So much that I thought I would explode!

Edward Fletcher said...

And you haven't changed your mind? *finishes glass*

Inky Flame said...

*shakes head* nope, looks like you will be stuck with me

Noelle said...

Pleistocene Queen, crawling backwards,
Drowning in her own despair.
The ocean's calamity can not compare
To the sin within her heart.
Grief and unknown sorrow bears
Upon her sullen mind
From dusk until dawn.
And the vial looks so much sweeter.

Edward Fletcher said...

Fine by me. Should there be a bar at the wedding?

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hello Adra)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Define "happened".

Jophiel said...

(*Cuddles Adra*)

Inky Flame said...

(Ey Adra)
I think we should have a bar *grins*

Edward Fletcher said...

A bar would be brilliant

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stacey: I dunno..it sounds crazy

Inky Flame said...

*giggles* the wolves will no doubt get pissed

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Try me. I'm used to crazy.

Inky Flame said...

(Omigod I love the pretty reckless so much! I love love their songs 'fucke up world')

Edward Fletcher said...

They will *laughs* *Another bottle of whiskey disguised as water appears* *drinks*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stacey: Well I just.. I was told I was being held back after missing half the exams so I ran..and this hapened..

Edward Fletcher said...

(I have not heard of them Inky)

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

Now...no exploding on me, Rose.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Just randomly?

Inky Flame said...

*drinks* they are a bunch of party animals. I remember weddings that happened years ago.. My favourite times

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stacey: Sorta

Edward Fletcher said...

Would you like to pay them a visit?

Inky Flame said...

*smiles* that would be nice

Edward Fletcher said...

Ok *They appear next to the old alpha*

Jophiel said...

You ruin my fun, Loki.

*She pretended to be offended, then she cuddled him tight*

Someone called my author a ferocious marshmallow at her school earlier in the week... Also, she wants you to kill someone.

I love you...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Could you do it again?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stacey: I don't know. I haven't tried

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Dammit.)

Inky Flame said...

Old Alpha: hello my dear daughter. Alpha *smiles*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Drinks* Hello sir *bows*

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

I shall kill them.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Could you try?

Inky Flame said...

OA: *laughs* don't be silly. You are alpha now, you don't bow to anyone

Edward Fletcher said...

You led this pack for years, I don't even know how to lead them. *bows*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stacey: What, now?

Jophiel said...

They're giving her unwanted attention... He confessed his love my author yesterday... And she is now not going on facebook of fear of him...

*Cuddles tighter*

Thank you...

Inky Flame said...

OA: you will be fine. Think of it like being a first time dad, you learn as you go


*smiles* you will be fine sweetie

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Sure.

Edward Fletcher said...

Ok, *Whispers to Inky* Did you tell him about the wedding?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

( Stacey - http://pophaircuts.com/images/2013/08/Short-Hair-Color-Ideas-Girls-Hairstyles-Trends.jpg )


Stacey: Could we try some place else?

Inky Flame said...

/z*nods * I did, why?

Edward Fletcher said...

I was just asking. *Turns to alpha* So, will you be attending the wedding?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*cuddles Danni*

Is someone harassing you!??

Inky Flame said...

OA: Of course, I wouldn't miss my baby's wedding for the world

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hello Tanya)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I dedicate this page to several things.

Firstly to Silente Tempest.

Secondly, to decisions.
There are some decisions which are easy to make. And then there are some decisions which are hard. Some decisions are not as easy as choosing between right and wrong. Sometimes there is no right and wrong. Sometimes you have to choose the lesser evil of the two.
There are some people who would refuse to make decisions of that nature. Then there are those who make them nearly every day.
But regardless of the type of decisions we make, the fact is we all make decisions about certain things. One of the most interesting things I think about life in general is the ability to make decisions. It is the ability to make decisions which can partly define us.)

Inky Flame said...

(Hey Tia
How art thou?)

Edward Fletcher said...

There will be a bar as well

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Of course.

Edward Fletcher said...

Stacey: *stops a bit away, looking around*

Inky Flame said...

Where is mam?
OA: in the house, she misses you

*to Ed* want to meet my mother?

Noelle said...

O death, King of humanity,
Take me as I am.
Sugar sprouts the tale of salt water
Across ivorie veins and pale skin,
Dripping, Dripping, Dripping...
The hole of my hearth hath swallowed my fire
And quenched the flame of my soul.
Herr, King of Humanity,
Herr to my willing

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Inky Flame said...

Mam: my baby girl is getting married to a gentleman. I must have done something right *smiles*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Laughs* I am not a gentlemen, just a very lucky person to be with Inky

Inky Flame said...

Aww *smiles*

Mam: now it's a mothers job to disapprove of her daughters other half, but I just can fault you *grins*

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

I shall gladly murder.

Edward Fletcher said...

I have many faults, but Inky brings out the best in me

Garret Falcone said...

(Hello.......)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hello Gar)

Inky Flame said...

*huggles him* aww Ed, that's so sweet

Mam: alright lovebirds, you go off and enjoy yourselves



(Garrrr *glomps*)

Noelle said...

The ravaged face,
The queens complaint
The tumbling of the day.

A flower left out.
My bones hold a stillness, the far
Fields melt my heart.

They threaten
To let me through to a heaven
Starless and fatherless, a dark water.

Edward Fletcher said...

(Damn twitter, I have a random person following me)

*hugs Inky*

Garret Falcone said...

(*accepts glomping and holds you in a huggle* Hello wolfie, how be you?)
(Hello Ed how be you?)
(Hello to everyone here)

Inky Flame said...

(I hardly use my twitter)
*smiles up at him* shall we go and get you a drink?

Edward Fletcher said...

(Fine thanks Gar, how be you?)

Inky Flame said...

Garret Falcone said...

Edward Fletcher said...

Inky Flame said...

(that's good ^.^)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Sorry Soph had to settle the boys down.)


Stacey: okay..
*closes her eyes, focusing, nothing happening for a long time*
*then her image distorts slightly, as if seen through water, and shimmers*
*the shimmering extends outwards slowly towards Claire and Sil*

Garret Falcone said...

(yes it is,
its also, good where you are feeling great Wolfie)

Inky Flame said...

*giggles*
*whispers* I know it is difficult to look past my brilliant tail, brains and looks, but I also have excellent ears and a nose. I can smell the whiskey

(I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO USE THAT QUOTE!!!

Ed, would you mind if I follow you?)

Inky Flame said...

Edward Fletcher said...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: *whispers to Silente* Should we tell her?

Edward Fletcher said...

(One second, brb)

Inky Flame said...

t(^.^t)
(Choo choo! it was a great idea XD)

Inky Flame said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*whispers back* I'm not sure..if you want to keep her as a friend then probably..


Stacey: *takes a deep breath, the bubble growing more, envoloping Claire and Sil, changing their view* *Stacey no longer seems distorted and the inside of the bubble now has a babbling stream, a water fall, the picture of serenity*

Edward Fletcher said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Garret Falcone said...

Claire: There's... something you should probably know, Stacey...

Inky Flame said...

(there we go, you have one more follower ^^)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stacey: What? *still has her eyes closed, the bubble extending a bit more, then the barrier of the bubble fading from sight, the contents staying in place* *sits heavily*

*sits next to her*

Inky Flame said...

(*huggles Gar*)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Thanks)

Inky Flame said...

(dim problem ^^)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Well... that's... what you did, that's magic. There's loads of us around the world. Many sorcerers and mages. All with various different powers.

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

Srry I really am distant msd I havemy chorus concert; Darker side of Broadway.-Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: *her eyes begin glowing white* *her bottle of water floats a few metres away from her* *twists her hand and the lid unscrews* *raises her hand into the air and the water from within the bottle spills out into the air in one distinct mass*
See?

Garret Falcone said...

(its like you really cool (<for Wolfie) )

Inky Flame said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stacey: *stares* That's so cool..is that why the hurdles were moving??

Yeah. She was cheating. That's also why I tripped!

Inky Flame said...

(awww, and you are Cookie Monster ^^)

Edward Fletcher said...

(A very potter musical?)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: *grins and throws half the water at Silente, the other half returning to the bottle* *screws the lid back on with her telekinesis, and floats it back into her hand* *her eyes stop glowing*
You have a variant of magic.

Inky Flame said...

(there are 3. My friend introduced me to them, they are spoofs of Harry Potter)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Oh)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*dives back as a blur to avoid the water* HA!

Stacey: So..I have magic? What about Rebecca?

Um..

Inky Flame said...

(I don't know if I like it yet...)

Garret Falcone said...

(awww, thank you miss wolfie ^_^)
(I'm getting posh - R)

Inky Flame said...

(no problem, Mr cookie monster ^O^)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Rebecca doesn't really have magic... She's... *swallows* She's a vampire. But they're not like they are in films and books. Not by a long way. But Rebecca is fine. She can control it. She's good. Alright?

Edward Fletcher said...

(Anybody seem the job lot?)

Edward Fletcher said...

*Seen

Inky Flame said...

(no, I haven't Ed. Any good?)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Yeah, it's pretty good, last episode is on now)

Inky Flame said...

(*shakes head* no no no! Malfoy is b being p played by a girl....)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stacey: *jerks and stumbles away at the word 'vampire'* SHES A WHAT??


*sighs* I'm a human who is strong, fast, doesn't age, need blood, and turns into a monster at night if I don't take my serum.

Stacey: *stares wide eyed*

Inky Flame said...

(coolio ^.^)

Garret Falcone said...

(Never heard of it Ed)
(look at us two getting all formal Miss inks)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: But she can control it! She's got medication. She really isn't bad. She made me breakfast. *smiles* Oh and... the weapons I showed you were definitely real and when I went to the bathroom before PE I was actually changing out of my armour. I am... kind of a Vigilante. I stop crime.

Inky Flame said...

(*nods* indeed we are, mr Thief)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I will be back soon.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stacey: *looks back and forth between them, not sure who to be more scared of*

*lets her sigils fade up into sight* I also have these..


Stacey: *stumbles, turns tail, and runs*

Edward Fletcher said...
