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.

(Thank you. :))
(Msd, though. Having lunch, going out, stuff. :P)
Claire: You dipped it in ketchup... *her eyes fill with tears*
*immediately looks worried* hey I...I'm sorry...I was just messing around
Claire: *starts crying*
(@Sil quick swap the slices and hug her!)
*not gone :/*
(*hugs Tia*)
*rushes to Claire and hugs her tightly* hey im sorry Claire...I didn't mean to upset you...*kisses her forehead, hugging her close* sorry...*looks highly upset and worried*
Claire: *grabs the slice of pizza and wipes the ketchup all over her face* You thought I'd be upset about some pizza? *grins* Ah revenge is a dish best served with ketchup. *smears it on her nose*
*looks hurt but laughs anyway*
Moron...
*sits down and had some of her drink, eating a rib in silence*
Claire: Are you alright?
Yeah.
*forces a smile and eats the last slice of her pizza, still covered in ketchup*
*eats some ribs*
Claire. ... You're not, are you?
Course I am. Eat before your pizza goes cold.
*stands up, emptying her drink*
Refill.
*goes to the kitchen*
Claire: *follows her to the kitchen* I'm sorry...
Why?
*wipes her face with a teatowel*
*looks at the teatowel and puts it into the washing machine*
*checks her uniform for stains*
*grumbles, rubbing at some ketchup on her collar*
(I will be back soon.)
Silente...
Hey, Sil! *hugs*
What are you up to?
(I am back.)
Claire: ... You're upset.
I do not have time to be here.
I have a whole world of things that I need to be doing right now.
And yet, I am here.
Why?
BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT YOU ALL ARE THE ONLY FRIENDS I HAVE IN THE WORLD AND I LOVE YOU.
*scatters love and appreciation hither and thither*
(Hello Clara. How are you?)
Feeling a curious combination of Halloween high-spirits (Halloween? Spirits? Get it? Eh? Eh?) and lonely melancholy.
(I see. I never really celebrated Halloween that much. Sure I did it for a few years when I was younger but I stopped at age twelve. Now I celebrate nothing, so...)
I have never celebrated Halloween. Not once, in the whole of my life. This is because my parents are very devout Christians, as am I. But I see no problem with celebrating Halloween, so this year I'm doing it alone.
With no friends.
Or family.
*soft weeping*
(I never really celebrated Halloween because I never saw the point. Back in my time, human religions are fairly rare, and I am an atheist regardless, so it is not anything to do with my religion.)
Understandable.
*hugs Clara*
Thank you for the picture.
How are you?
Awh, I'm so glad you like the picture!
And, as I said before, I feel many things. Probably more than most ducks feel.
*huggles*
What is your Halloween costume?
. . . I've got a musketeer costume. It's not much, but it makes everything more dramatic, in my opinion.
What's yours?
(Sorry...fake blood distracted me...)
There's ketchup on my collar.
Fake blood is always a good distraction.
Claire: But you're upset. *hugs her* I'm sorry.
Sounds good, Clara!
(Wbd, preparing food)
*hugs her back*
It's fine...come on, foods getting cold.
FOOD!?
I hope you plan to share, Tia.
Claire: I didn't mean to upset you... *walks back to the front room, continuing to eat her pizza*
I know you didn't.
*eats the last of the ribs, picking the bone clean and licking her fingers afterwards*
*looks at the rice and curry*
...i might have to leave that for breakfast...
Claire: I'm nearly full and I haven't even eaten my pizza yet... We could pack it up for lunch?
Sure. I'll have the curry as breakfast because I like curry in a corning.
*grabs the curry and the rice, taking them to the kitchen and putting them in the fridge*
Claire: Could you put my pancakes in the fridge too?
Yeah sure. *comes back and grabs the two boxes of crispy duck pancakes*
*pauses*
The rice won't kill me if I heat it up in the morning will it?
Claire: ... I'm not sure.
...I'm sure it'll be fine.
*takes the pancakes and puts them in the fridge too*
*comes back, closing the pepperoni box and taking both boxes into the kitchen, putting the pepperoni on the side and the empty box in the bin*
(Of course I plan to share!)
(*hugs Tia*)
Claire: Do you want to get back to racing?
*hugs Sil*
Sorry for being difficult.
*groans* we both know I've lost.
Claire: So I don't have to do what you say?
Fine. You don't have to do what I say.
Claire: Yay!
Unless its go to sleep. In which case yes you do
Claire: I don't!
*raises an eyebrow*
Claire: I don't have to go to bed when you say!
*raises both eyebrows*
(@Soph Why does Dragona never come online? Did you kill him?)
Claire: I don't!
(Yes, Tia, I killed him. *tilts head*)
(Not sure whether you're using sarcasm or...)
Suuuure claire.
(Why, exactly, would I kill the person whose head I am being transported in? It would be suicide.)
Claire: I'm not joking! I will fight you over this.
(To avoid him killing you :O)
*laughs*
(He couldn't kill me, even if he wanted to.)
Claire: Stop laughing!
(That sounds like ignorance, Soph.)
*laughs more then shakes her head, smiling*
(Ignorance is not in my nature. I am being realistic. I occupy the same amount of space in his head that he himself does.)
Claire: I will throw pizza at you.
(You're not invincible, Soph. And Dragona could pose more of a threat to you than any goon with a gun.)
Sure. Anyway...
Hey omg can we build a fort??
(I pose a threat to him also. We have an agreement.)
Claire: Yes we can!
(And exactly how do you pose a threat to Dragona?)
*hugs Sil*
Yey! Okay..
*thinking*
(*hugs Tia*)
(As I said - I occupy the same amount of space. And I am stronger mentally, in addiction to the fact I do not give up. If we were ever to have a serious disagreement, I would win. Plain and simple.)
Claire: What should we use?
The sofa definitely...hmmm...should I get a mattress?
(Dragona might have some tricks up his sleeve, Soph.)
Hmm, might go clothes shopping tomorrow. I hate clothes shopping :c
(I doubt it.)
Claire: Sure!
Okay.
*steps backwards through a portal*
*comes back a second later dragging a mattress through said portal*
(@Soph Is gatorade popular in Canada?)
(Tia - I am from Canada. In a hundred and fifty or so years. Do not ask me.)
Claire: Nice! *grabs some of the cushions from the sofa*
(@Soph I'd ask Dragona but you don't like being a messenger so I'm asking you. Is gatorade popular in Canada?)
*pulls the mattress the whole wau through*
Where we putting it?
(Dragona is English.)
Claire: Use it as a base.
(...)
Helpful.
Claire: Yes. Then we can build up from there.
*rolls eyes and sets it down*
Claire: *places one of the cushions vertically on it* Right now you put one at the other side.
(I am here my darlings)
(Evening blogland)
(It appears to be quiet?)
(Ed! how art thou?)
(Hello Chloe, I be fine thanks, how are you?)

(Hello Gar and Sophia)

(Well, it is all part of the Halloween spirit)
(I am depressed. Yourself?)
(Halloween is the best. Im debating whether to go as poison ivy or a wicked bith tomoz)
(I am good. I bought another skull to add to my collection)
(Poison ivy, batman beats all)
(Buying skulls is probably the more legal method of acquiring them.)
(*accepts glomping and holds you in a huggle* I've missed you too,
how be you?)
(Hello Ed, how be you?)
(Hello Soph)
(wolfie, I'd say go as poison ivy (if you can) if not, number 2)
(Fine thanks, how be you?)
(Batman is awesome!
I have 4 skulls in my collection.
one looks like an actual human skull
another is a pirate skull
one is a hippie skull
and the one I bought today wears a crown)
(okay, ill go as poison ivy ^^
I be great Gar, you? *huggles tightly*)
(My old biology teacher has a real human skull)
(O.o that sounds awesome! I seem to have a thing for skulls...)
(Who doesn't love a collection of skulls)
(I do not have a collection of skulls.)
(I'm happier now i can talk to you, but I've been feeling alright *huggles tightly*)
<the above is for Wolfie)
(I'm alright thanks, Ed)
(*giggles* im dressed in a skull jumper, equipped with a skull scarf and skull bracelet)
(And neither would I love one, actually.)
(*huggles Gar like a koala* aww that's sweet)
(So, a lot of skulls then)
(*smiles while being huggled* its like you*)
(anyone want to Rp?)
*is sat on the house roof* (my house)
(yep *smiles sweetly* I scare my friends irl)
Tawnee: *shouts out* Gar?
(aww and you are)
(I scare my friends)
(They said I was evil *looks innocent*)
(really? I don't know what it is, but I sorta like creeping them out...)
(*laughs* I bet you don't_)
(I had an idea to feed students to pits of venomous snakes underneath their chairs, the teacher did not agree with the idea)
(*laughs* that sounds awesome!)
(One of my many ideas)
(I do not believe I scare my friends. I do not have many to scare.)
(maybe I could come up with a plan aswell...I am a scientist...)
(I am sorry Sophia)
(aww thank you Wolfie and I'm slightly worried now (on the basis of you scaring your friends)
*looks down and shouts to Taw* I'm up here!
(It is not a problem. Not at all. I work best by myself.)
(you are my friend, and you don't scare me Soph)
(Science for the win)
(don't mind me Gar, im harmless...really...)
Tawnee: *looks up and smiles* hello sweetie
(
(I want to drop chemistry though, my lecturer hates me. but I showed her when I came 2nd highest in the class...)
(Well done, that is an impressive score)
(Perhaps, Chloe, that is because I have had no reason to scare you.)
(thanks ^^ the person who came first only had half a mark more than me, and she is a resit student.
Also, I have had 100% in two of my other tests...)
(Well done, I was one mark away from 100% in my physics test)
(i second what Ed said)
(are you harmless.... Are you really?)
*shadow walks to Taw* I'm here now
(that's brill, physics is by far my worst science
thanks Gar...and I am really harmless)
Tawnee: *hugs him* how are you?
(Chemistry is by far my worst)
*Drinks whiskey in water sat in tree*
(I used to enjoy physics. It was my favourite subject.)
*finds Ed* hello, want to go to the bar? *smiles*
(Chemistry is my thing)
*smiles* I'm happy, *hugs Taw* how are you and gizmo?
(ok i believe you Inks *offers huggle*)
Sure *they appear in the bar* *gets Ink a cider*
(Why twitter, why?)
(I believe Chemistry should only be used for two things - explosives and medicine.)
(*huggles Gar*)
Tawnee: *laughs* me and Gizmo are doing good
(whats up with twitter, Ed?)
*smiles* thank you *drinks cider*
*sighs happily* this is the life
(i agree with soph)
(*huggles inks*)

(im going to study veterinary medicine, so...chem is good)
Tawnee: *smiles* I don't mind
(It is emailing me for no reason)
*Drinks whiskey water* It is, how about a trip?
(ah, I know the feeling. it is annoying)
*tilts head* a trip? where?
The dawn of time, I'm joking what about Victorian London?
(I never went to university. I instead got a job as a police officer. Then some shit happened and I ended up joining the military.)
*eyes light up* that would be awesome!
(ill be the first one in my family ever to go to uni)
So be it *They appear in the middle of a street* Remember, no magic
*nods* okay
*covers ears* what shall we do about clothes?
(Good luck Chloe)
