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.

Jophiel said...

I'm okay. Remember wen I said my little brother woke me up?

He didn't remember.

He didn't remember turning on the light. Or waking me up. Or anything...

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

(Hey Clara)


*pauses in the process of packing her bags and opens the door* Dug?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*laughs and tackle hugs Elleni as well*
Ello!!!

Hehehe.....!!!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(He didn't remember? 0.0 maybe he was sheep walking? That's strange...!)
*notices the bags*
Hey! What are those for?

The Grave of a Coward said...

So, do you recall how I was so nervous last night, because I planned to go out and look for a job?

Well, I applied to six places.

1 - A one-man shop that couldn't afford to hire anyone else.
2 - See 1.
3 - See 2.
4 - An application, and a "We're not hiring right now, but when we do, we'll look you up."
5 - An application, and a "We'll be calling you before October's out."

6 - I applied at a small inn/hotel, and was told that they don't hire in the Autumn, but come Spring, I can be almost completely certain of a job there.

GUYS.

GUYS.

I AM GOING TO BE WORKING AT AN ACTUAL HOTEL.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

OH MY GOSH!!!! THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Jophiel said...

He was sleeping walking, sleeping talking, sleep interacting with objects...

The Grave of a Coward said...

*does a happy hotel dance*
*it mainly consists to jumping to the Suite Life theme song*

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

(Well done Clara!)

Nothing. What's up?
*forces a smile*

Jophiel said...

WOOO!! Go Clara!!!

*Looks at still unemployed author*

*Pokes*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Now, I'm afraid I really shouldn't be on right now, as I need to go eat, but I was so excited that I wanted to share it with you all!
And now, I must go eat! I WILL be back later this evening!

*dances away*

Garret Falcone said...

(I'm kinda worried now Dugg
Hello, El how be you?)
(Rose, that can happen, people have been know to drive while sleeping)
(Well done Clars *gives you a pat on the back*)

Jophiel said...

Bye Clara!!

Oh, God, Gar!! I'm never getting in another car!!

Garret Falcone said...

(ok O_O why not rose? It only happens to certain people and why would you be in a car with a sleep walker anyway?)

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

Why are you here Dug?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Hmm... my friend has done that but you're right, it is strange...)
(*sighs* Gar, you and INKY have been talking about comic con and meeting each other there for a while now. You do realize that I have read every single comment since my first comment right? I know what happens...!
*grins creepily*)
(Ok, bye Clara!!)
*does buy the smile*
Nothing.
Really though, what are you packing?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

No reason.
I can go if you want..

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

**doesn't

Jophiel said...

That's scary...

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

Oh nah that's fine...come on in.
*opens the door wide*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Thanks
*steps inside*
So did you greet Alexa?

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

Yep. As always.
*pushes the bags off the bed*
Please, sit.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Yep. It always is.
*goes back to packing*
You?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(WELCOME BACK SOPHIA!)
Nothing. Just hanging out..

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

(That was a disturbingly enthusiastic reply, Dugglyn.)

Snow said...

*rolls*

Jophiel said...

*Noms on Skittles*

Garret Falcone said...

(calm down Sil)
(hello soph how be you?)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*the Midnight Hotel rumbles up from the ground*
*candles flicker in all the windows*
*the lobby is decorated for Halloween*

*sits at desk*
*going through paperwork*

Hullo, Blogland! I have returned!

Garret Falcone said...

(welcomes Clars)

Snow said...

*tackles clara*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Greetings, Gars.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks up*
*smiles broadly*
Elleni! Welcome!
And Snow!

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

*finishes packing*
Well I hate to kick you out dug but I need to lock the door

Snow said...

*squishes clara* HULLLLLOOOO

The Grave of a Coward said...

*gets squished*

Oof! I keep getting squished today!

*pats Snow awkwardly on the head*

*performs the secret Saracen Crew handshake*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(What did I just do....
I'm home alone and I decided to have some fun with make up. I decided to make it look 'normal' but somehow used eyeliner and now on one side I have a huge, dark smug that won't come off. ..
)

Snow said...

*rolls around*

The Grave of a Coward said...

. . . I suggest you do the same with the other eye, and then go outside into the woods and join the Raccoon Mafia.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*watches Snow roll around*

. . .

Snow said...

*bumps inta a chair*
*stops rolling*
*glares at the chair*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Thank you Clara, I'll keep that in mind.
My eyeshadow is two different colors... how do you even put that stuff on? And why? What does it do? Anyone know?)
(*grins at Sophia* How are you my precious?)
Oh, that's fine! Where ya headed?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*holds an arm protectively in front of the chair*
Don't hurt Leopold. He wasn't asking for trouble.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(I hope my mom has some sorta make up remover...)

The Grave of a Coward said...

I have never understood the purpose of eye shadow, as it's largely invisible when your eyes are open.

Snow said...

*rolls away and hits the stairs*

The Grave of a Coward said...

. . .

Snow, are you quite alright?

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

No where in particular.
*smiles*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Yeah, me too. And now it's in my eyebrows.

Snow said...

*frowns* your hotel is not roll-safe, Clara

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Can I come?
*she looks hopeful*
I've been so bored...

The Grave of a Coward said...

Well, as I've never had a makeup mishap, I'm afraid I've no clue how to advise you.

Jophiel said...

No skittles left...

The Grave of a Coward said...

I'm afraid my Hotel is not safe, period.
*frowns*
You really should stop rolling. May I suggest jumping on the couch by the fire instead? Kids seem to enjoy it.

The Grave of a Coward said...

NO SKITTLES?

This is a crisis. You need Skittles at once.

*abandons laptop to search for Skittles*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*returns*

. . . No Skittles.

Snow said...

*looks at clara like she was talking a foreign language* stop... rolling?

Jophiel said...

I found the spare packet...

The Grave of a Coward said...

*lays a hand on Snow's shoulder*
*looks deeply into her eyes*
*soft piano music plays*

Yes, Snow.
Stop rolling.

Snow said...

I... I don't understand.
How does one... stop rolling...

The Grave of a Coward said...

*sighs deeply*

I had hoped it wouldn't come to this . . . but . . .

*walks behind desk*
*digs around under it*

*returns with a triangular wedge of wood*
*squeezes it under Snow*

. . . That, grasshopper, is how you stop rolling.

Snow said...

*blinks*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*blinks*

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

(mini poof)

Um...sure..but you need to get swim gear first.
*smiles*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Its off! I return my full attention back to Blogland!)

The Grave of a Coward said...

Welcome, Dugglyn, my favorite banshee ninja!

Garret Falcone said...

(I'm going to disappear now,
good night everyone)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*puts head in hands*
*tears streaming down my cheeks*
*and mourns for Garrett*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Ooh, ok!
I'll be right back!
*she turns off and quickly floats away*
*she returns a couple minutes later with and solidifies holding a swimsuit*

Snow said...

*slowly stands up*
...

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(BYE Gar!)

The Grave of a Coward said...

Well done, Snow!
*pats on back*

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

*by the time dug returns Sil is gone*

Snow said...

*falls on face*
Ow

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks sadly down at Snow*
Perhaps start with crawling?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Knew that was going to happen! :P)
*her face falls as she looks around*
Sil?
*she looks around, hoping to spot her but she doesn't*
*swallows the lump in her throat and trudges back to her tree house*

Snow said...

*stands up again*
I can walk. I'm just dizzy

Sir said...

Good morning, afternoon, evening, or other time of day, Blogland.

The Grave of a Coward said...

A drink, then.

*goes off to the kitchen*
*returns with a teacup full of bourbon*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(HULLO SIR!!!!!! How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes?!)

The Grave of a Coward said...

Greetings, Sir. How are you today?

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

*has left a note pinned to Dugs door*
Note: Sorry Dug had to run, but I'm sure El will go swimming with you..
-St

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Carzainia, Ms. Crowley, Ms. Stormberg, Ms. Tempest, and whoever else may be here.

My eyes are functional, Ms. Carzainia.

As well as I can be expected to be, Ms. Crowley. Thank you for inquiring.

Snow said...

Brb, breakfast

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*glares at the note, ripping it off and throwing it off the balcony*
*she steps in side, collapsing in a chair*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Breakfast?

*sadly watches Snow depart*

Well, alright then. I shall sit here, alone.

*sits sadly by myself, in the hotel lobby*
*cursing time zone differences*

The Grave of a Coward said...

It's very quiet today.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*sighs and stands up*
*turns into mist and floats over to the midnight hotel, solidifying by the door*
*steps inside*
Hullo Clara

The Grave of a Coward said...

*blinks*

. . . Hullo, Dugglyn. How are you? Would you like a room?

Sir said...

Extremely quiet, in fact.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*blinks back*
No thanks!
*she lies down and begins rolling around, bumping on the same chair Snow did*
Ow.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*rubs bridge of nose*
Please stop bumping into Leopold. I've had enough of rolling today.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Hello?

Echo: Hello, hello, hello . . .

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Yay Chloe and Gar are meeting up!

*dies of loneliness*

Hello...

The Grave of a Coward said...

Greetings, Tia. Blogland is quiet tonight. Can you hear the crickets chirping?

Jophiel said...

Tia...

*Cuddles tightly*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I can hear my heart beating...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Rose... :/

How are you?

And how are you, Clara?

((I have never had a Tim Tam, apparently. They don't sell them here.))

The Grave of a Coward said...

*hums* Close your eyes . . . give me your hand, darling . . . do you feel my heart beating . . . do you understand . . .

The Grave of a Coward said...

I'm doing well, Tia.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*continues humming*

Jophiel said...

I'm sleepy... And eating Skittles... And I don't feel well...

But otherwise, I'm okay.

How are you?

Jophiel said...

How can you not have had Tim Tams...?

The Grave of a Coward said...

. . . I have not had Tim Tams. What is it? Is it a chocolate bar?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

No, I don't understand. I'm still confused about why you're humming. Frankly, it's disconcerting, but adorable in its own way.

So I played one of those, uh, Android videogames. Galaxy on Fire - Alliances. I got attacked by this guy, and he battered my forces, and he tried again and got screwed over by my troops, and I feel ever-so-bad because instead of continuing the war, he wrote me a message asking for cease-fire and I think the guy must've not been a good at English or something and will probably quit the game.

And here I was thinking he's an arrogant douchebag who must be destroyed.

Instead I get a guy who I'm sure doesn't deserve my virtual wrath.

Also the game is meh but I only have 3 games on my phone so...)

The Grave of a Coward said...

I am humming because you said you could hear your heart beating, which reminded me of the song. I am also humming because it is adorable, and I like to be adorable.
*hums* Do you feel the same . . . or am I only dre . . . ee . . . ee . . . eaming . . .

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

But the other game is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooioiooooo

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

punny!!!

Try Battle Gems.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*Hums along awkwardly*

*cuddles Danni*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I wanna try a Tim Tam. I looked them up and they look/sound amazing....
That is what I'm asking for for Christmas.

The Grave of a Coward said...

. . .

Am . . . am I Danni?

*is awkwardly cuddled*

DARQUESSE!!!!!!! said...

is this his last ever blog-note-thingy? he is never gonna blog again on this blog?

Jophiel said...

*Cuddles Tia back gently* ~ Danni

Clara, Danni, or Dannielle, is my author.

Tim Tams are in my blood.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Hello DARQUESSE!!!!!!!
I think he was actually saying he would blog more often now. I think...!

The Grave of a Coward said...

Oh thank goodness, I was afraid I was being cuddled.

*takes cover behind the desk*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*stares at Rose*
I need your blood!_

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*runs over and cuddles Clara*
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Jophiel said...

Dug!!! Please, don't!!

Clara, you made Danni laugh. She needed a good laugh. Thank you.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*shrieks*
*beats Dugglyn back with desk chair*

Cease and desist!

Sir said...

Oh, dear. Poor Leopold.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*clutches Leopold*

Leopold understands that sometimes, as a chair, he needs to take one for the team.

*continues fending off Dugglyn*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Ahhh!!!
*gets pushed back, but continues forward, her arms on her head*
Must. Cuddle. Clara!!

The Grave of a Coward said...

No! I refuse!
*backs away slowly*

Jophiel said...

Sir!! I'm almost in tears!! XD ~ Danni

*Stands in front of Clara, protecting her from Chev*

You shall not pass!!!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

CUDDLE!!!

The Grave of a Coward said...

NO!

*hides behind Death Rose like a damsel in distress*

Sir said...

...

Pardon, Rose?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

B b b but...
cuddles!

Jophiel said...

*Leaps forward and cuddles Chev, also holding down her arms*

Run Clara run!!

The Grave of a Coward said...

Cuddle someone else! Cuddle Tia! TIA! Where are you?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*sits on the swivel chair*
*scoots out the door*
*rolls down the sidewalk*

Jophiel said...

Sir, my author finds you funny.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!
She doesn't like cuddles!!!
PURPLE FUSZY BANANANANANANANANANANAS!!!!
*struggles against Rose*
Bananas!! Bananas..

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(That's twice you've written about cuddling me, which I gave you no reason to do. I hear you loud and clear!)

It takes two to Tango!

*hugs Clara*

Wait... Tango is a dance, right?

*pulls Clara into a dance*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*rolling down the sidewalk*
*rolling fast*
*faces pass*
*and I'm safety bound*

Goodness, I hope my Hotel doesn't get damaged in the frenzy . . .

Jophiel said...

*Holds Chev tighter*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

No, Tia. A tango isn't a dance! It's a bird!

The Grave of a Coward said...

*is suddenly tangoing with Tia*

Tia!
*rising panic*
Tia, I can't dance! Especially when I'm sitting in a chair!

Sir said...

...

Qui-

*A Clara-shaped blur speeds by the park bench he's sitting on.*

...

te.

Jophiel said...

Thank you Sir. You just made me choke on a Skittle. ~ Danni.

The Grave of a Coward said...

If I had Skittles, I would've choked on them as well.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Well, that's an interesting first comment on a page.

The Grave of a Coward said...

I dedicate to Skittles, Reese's Pieces, and M&Ms. I do not dedicate to the heathens who put them all in the same bowl.

Jophiel said...

Hear hear!!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Here here!!
This is a Tengo!!! >>>>
And Mbd and Msd.

Sir said...

Apologies, Rose.

A wonderful dedication, Ms. Crowley.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*breaks free from Tia's impromptu dancing session*
*continues rolling down the sidewalk*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*gets up from her chair

*music erupts from nearby devices, and Clara is dancing*

*She's dancing*

*Check her out, everyone, she's dancing!*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*the chair begins to pick up speed*

. . .

*eyes widen with panic*
I . . . I'm not sure I know how to stop this thing . . .

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks back at Tia, who is dancing by herself, with a strange and dreamy look in her eyes*

DARQUESSE!!!!!!! said...

HELLO Dugglyn Carzainia

right thx

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hear hear Eminems are 10/10)

*finds Clara*

*runs up to her*

*whispers a great secret in her ear*

Snow said...

*flollops*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*is going so fast that I pass by Tia in a blur*
*and only hear the first part of the Great Secret*

*spins in the chair*
WAIT, NO! TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOATS!

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hello Sir and Duggy!

*in his best Joey impression:*

How you doing?

The Grave of a Coward said...

Snow, flolloping is only done my mattresses called Zem.

Jophiel said...

These crime shows are telling me to never fall in love because my other half will murder me... ~ Danni

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey Snuuuu how are you?)

So this man was like a werewolf but he didn't turn into a wolf but rather a goat, and someone thought it'd be a good idea to ship him with Silente, so then... [INAUDIBLE]

The Grave of a Coward said...

There are many reasons not to fall in love, Death Rose. Most of them are logical, a few of them are wise, and all of them are to be completely ignored.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Danni, love is not the only reason for murder.

*cold hugs of foreboding yet elusive doom*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Is anybody going to comment?

*listening to Imperial March Leviathan Mix*

Jophiel said...

Hey, I don't want to be murdered...

*Looks at Tia wearily*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

You're welcome DARQUESSE!!!!!!! Nice name!

*Dances a flamingo with a Tengo*
(Tengo pic>>)

The Grave of a Coward said...

It's interesting how we seem to have long, drawn-out silences, followed by five comments in unison.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Soy, I was forced to vacuum. Meh.
And told to clean my room. But I didn't actually hear that part! Yep! Totally!

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*keeps hugging Danni*

I wouldn't murder you. I wouldn't hurt you. I'm still not sure if I'm insane or all-too-sane, but that's one thing I promise you. All of you. It is never my intent to harm you.

The Grave of a Coward said...

I . . . I can't dance at all. Not with birds, not with people.

. . . Actually, I've never attempted to dance with either.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Yay for vacuum! And the room should clean itself, it is the one with the mess, after all.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Can't dance will dance)

(And embarrass myself, obviously.)

Jophiel said...

Thank you, Tia... I promise I wouldn't ever hurt you either... I'm not capable of that.

*Cuddles tightly* ~Danni

The Grave of a Coward said...

I find no reason to learn how to dance when I have no one to dance with.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Has anyone ever seen a Tengo in real life? They have em at the zoo but I e never seen one in the wild.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I can Irish dance. That's all.
