What a year that was...
2014 saw the final part of my EPIC nine-book series reaching the shelves, and there was much rejoicing. It was a bit of a scramble to get it written in time, as it generally is, but this book achieved everything I wanted it to achieve, and so I remain immensely proud of it. The ninth book, and the events that transpire within it, had been a secret I'd been keeping for seven years, and it was such a relief to get it out there. Sure, I didn't tie up every last plot thread — in some cases I just ran out of time, in others I decided to be mean and simply not resolve stuff — but it was a fitting send-off, I think.
The publication saw another astonishing Tom Percival cover, plus a very limited black edition which, as it turned out, was an extraordinarily clever bit of marketing by yours truly. It meant that the excitement that first morning was ELECTRIC as everyone rushed to search through each shop. That wasn't my original intent — I just wanted a cool black book — but to follow the tweets that morning as each copy got snapped up... that was awesome.
The reaction to the book was exactly what I wanted, also. True, there was some confusion over the chapters that ended mid-sentence, but all in all, readers understood what I was doing. And then to catch you all out right at the end....
... glorious...
The Dying of the Light got me back touring, of course, and we fit in the Requiem Ball and the Theatre of Shadows, and I once again visited New Zealand and Australia and met loads of enthusiastic readers. If ever my ego was in need of a boost...
And then I got home, and got to work on the NEW book.

«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 4884 Newer› Newest»(Hello, Ieni. Please do not hug me, even if it is... a ninja aeroplane tackle hug?)
(*hugs Soph*)
@Sophia: Yes. Ieni specialises in ninjaaeroplanetacklehugs. :)
(*Accepts the hug*
I don't believe we've met.)
Uh, well, I think we must have been. Remember I'm still 15 now because my birthday is in March? And we were both in Year 9 and Luce was in Year 11, but that seemed so far away to us and now Luce is in Year 13 + has applied to unis and:O
I've been so reminissy over things this evening from Blogland + stuff.
Ah, sorry, Soph :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU
You just have to watch it.
You really should.
@Ieni: I KNOW. O_O
Luce was, like, as old then as I am now, but she seemed so OLD. O_O And now I am OLD. O_O
The world is odd. O_O
I'm sixteen, hehe. September birthday. 15/09/1998. :)
But TripTripTripTripTrip, I'm doing homework, so I can't distract myself.
I mean, I'm distracting myself by typing, but I can't wander FURTHER into distractions. O_O
(*hugs Silente back* Where did we get to with the roleplay?
Star - To me it sounds like being squashed by a black aeroplane.)
Hey, Trip!! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs* Haven't spoken in ages, how are you? (Am currently listening to link)
Haha, Star, I know when your birthday is. You have unfortunate title in my head of being the first person I spoke to in this fandom and so if you'd have messed up that one time, I might now have had this amazing time I have had these past few years.
Well that was... different.
(@Soph Beth said 'It's fine' to something..And actually I was wondering if Sil could see Claire?)
@Sophia: . . .
I just started typing out '@Commander Sophia Keating' then. :S I have no idea where that came from . . . :O
Hmm. Good point. I can't really visualise a ninjaaeroplanetacklehug, mostly because I can't really visualise a ninja aeroplane. :P
@Ieni: :)
And, yay. :) :) :) I'm glad I spoke to you. :)
Speaking to people and being nice can make such a difference. :O
(*Stares blankly* You forgot me...owch...*collapses and fake dies*)
*is ninjaeroplanetacklehugged* Herrow! It's been too long, how are you?
(God everyone is hurting me today...what is this...
Hello Sophia, Solus.)
(Actually, Bethany apologised for becoming nervous so easily. I believe that was the last thing that happened.)
*Silente's phone starts to ring*
(I am truly sorry to hear that, Chione. I hope you will be able to make it through the day/night/whatever time it happens to be for you.)
*hugs Chi* :/
(Oh well. Me and my bf are looking up Taylor Swift concert tickets at like £107 each. He's being an idiot and insisting to buy us both ones.
I'm kinda excited though.
Actually really excited. This will be my first concert ever...)
(I said sorry Gem...I didn't mean too...)
*frowns*
One sec Beth..
*steps back and answers*
Yellow?
(Yes Ieni, We have met.
Chione Asahina/Tanith and Valkyrie lover...Or maybe you have just forgotten me. I'm a very forgettable person, especially because I'm slowly fading from this blog. And...real life a suppose...all my friends are leaving me, the only one I have in real life now is my bf so...I rely heavily on him...)
(Sounds like a good time, my sister would be enthralled at the idea of a Taylor Swift concert. Still, that's quite a bit of money isn't it?)
(Silente, you may not have meant it. But that honestly really hurt me. I know you were just being honest but god...)
Claire: Do you know how hard it is to cover up for your sister spontaneously deciding to disappear? *there are sounds of battle in the background* Not that it matters - I found the mage. It turned out to be the drama teacher. Who'd have thought?
Bethany: Who is it?
(If I may offer a bit of depressing advise... never rely too heavily on a single person, no matter how much you may love or trust them, humans are unpredictable.)
(I really didn't mean to hurt you..I'm sorry..I..It wasn't..I didn't mean it..like that..)
Sorry about that. Needed a holiday. The drama teacher? But she was so nice..
Yeah, but Star, you can hear ninja aeroplanes. They're like neowwww neowwwwwwwwwwwwwww SPLAT. Remember the time you made me that thing for my 14th birthday and it was to do with ninja aeroplanes?
I'm good, Trip!:) I met up with some of my other SP buddies a few days ago, so :). Speaking of which, when I was 13, I promised one day I would meet Star, which I /still/ haven't done. (The problem of parents still hasn't gone away.)
I'm sorry, Chione. I haven't been on here for ages and there's so many people I don't talk to and even people like Mara, who I used to be so close to and email everyday, I don't think about for months, yet alone spoken to her, which I don't think I have done for about a year and a half. Star, do you know how Mara's dong?
(It's fine Silente...
Solus, I can't exactly help it. The only other person I cared about stopped talking to me a few days ago. All of my friends leave me behind my back, my 5th year friends don't talk to me and I get the impression that they don't like me. I have no one but my bf...So if he goes then...I don't fucking know what...I guess i'll go too.)
(Apologies, I should not allow my pessimist outlook to get other people down.)
(*crushes gemma in a hug* don't go..not like that.)
(@Solus: Good advice . . . Hunter and Ez would completely ignore/disregard it, though. :P
@Ieni: Yesyes. :)
And
No, Ieni, I don't know how Mara's doing . . . :/
I miss her. She was Maraness-y.
It's okay, Silente.
*hugs*
All we can do is do our best, and sometimes, we will make mistakes. That's how we learn what to say/do next time. Also, we can't avoid hurting people. Heck, look at Gar and Inky - they manage to hurt each other woth the things they say on occasion, and that's not for lack of caring about each other. You didn't mean to be hurtful, so don't feel bad. So long as you apologise (which you have done) and learn from it (which you will do), it's okay. :) *hugs*
:/
*hugs Chi*
We haven't seen Mara in a good while, here.
*Yesyes. :)
And - yesyes. :)
I'm not sure where my second yesyes went. :O
*nods at Trip in acknowledgement and agreement and then shakes her head to imply that no, we haven't seen her in a good while*
(I read what happened previously, and I have to say, Chione, your actions are being completely out of proportion. Silente was merely trying to help you, and her suggestion could be plausible. And yet you are acting as if she has wronged you in some way despite the fact she was attempting to help. Regardless - that happened more than two hours ago. And yet you are still making her feel bad about it. I fail to see how this will help either of you - reminding yourself of it will not help you to get better, and reminding Silente will only make her feel worse.)
Claire: Yes, she was. But you never can know with some people. *there are several gunshots and the sounds stop* Do you want to meet? It's been ages since we've spoken.
(Coming from someone called Solus SORROW.
Silente, it probably will be the way I go. Die from an overdose or something cause I'm too much of a coward *laughs*)
*coughs*
I'm still working on my English homework, btw.
Not like I've been trying to do it for the past nine hours or anything. XD
(procrastination, procrastination. XD)
(Thank you, Sophia. :))
(My name is a portrayal of how I feel, it should not drag others down to the level I have fallen.)
Sure. You better not have done anything stupid in my absence. I better not get there and find a massive tattoo on you.
*holds up a 'wait one minute' finger up to Beth, smiling*
(Please don't go..not like that..)
@Star I just found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cUDR2b7BRA look at all the people that used to be on really regularly! I actually have been talking to Kes on Tumblr recently and I talk to Miss Cain on Twitter and I talk to Luci from time to time - I spoke to her on Christmas Day.
Awh, no. The welcoming message on my phone still saying 'StarMaraLuciFabiMelJubiCharMissy' from that long ago. Char is Charisma. I haven't spoken to her in a very long time. Neither Jubi.
(Sophia, it's none of your god damn business. I said it was fine. What do you not fucking get about that huh? and when the fuck did you come into this conversation because I don't think anyone Invited you to give your opinion. She made me feel like shit. I'm upset and angry but I forgave her. Now back the fuck off.)
Claire: Maybe a few blood stains. But no tattoos. I'm ten now! *smiles*
Bethany: *nods and smiles*
(I will be back soon.)
Ten? You're getting old! I hope I didn't misplace your present..*nibbles lip a moment* I should still have it..can I bring a guest?
(Okay Soph..)
@Ieni: I rarely see Luci . . . just once every few months. :/ Kes comes on sometimes these days. :) Miss Cain, nooo, haven't seen her in ages. O_O
@Chi: Sophia was simply trying to stick up for her friend in an effort to make her feel better. It's her friend, so it is her business. And people shouldn't have to be invited into free conversation in public blogs. Also, on that note, it's a public blog that has zero actual rules and we all, as far as I'm aware, live in free countries. Sophia has the right to give her opinion without invitation.
I don't want to argue against you, because I realise you feel like shit and I don't dislike you or want to oppose you; I'm just defending a friend of mine. None of this paragraph is due to any negative feelings towards you yourself.
(*slips away to the world of French and nothingness where emotions don't exist*)
(I do not care at all whether someone invited me or not. You are not my concern. I really do not care whether you swear at me. I simply do not care. But Silente is my concern, and I do care about her. And I am asking you to stop hurting her.
And now I will be back soon.)
(Yup...going to go again. Might take a break like Rhos and Chloe xD Actually, that does sound like a good idea. And I think I could do it this time *nods*
I won't say Goodbye because Adam doesn't like goodbyes but...I don't know If I will come back...I've lost my reason for coming on...)
(Okay, Chi.
*hugs*
I hope you manage to feel a little bit better for your break. :/)
Blogland is very different to what I remember:/
I'm sorry Star, you've been here for so long and you've seen so many people come and go and idk, you're like a Blogland Veteran. Do people still say msg and wbd? Do you still say that? God, I feel sad/happy at all these memories today.
Star, you should come on Twitter more. It's actually quite a positive place and you could talk to Missy and Luci and people and yeah :)
(As Star said, goodbye Chione.)
Man, this is a blast from the past.
So many old friends, moved on...
@Ieni: Yes. :)
I tried Twitter a bit. Got massively put off by the character count. XD
Seriously, though, I've tried various places over the years, and only two have ever hit me and grabbed me. :P I'm socially-out-of-touch. Plus, in an ideal world, I would go online LESS. XD
And, yeah. Blogland changes a lot. However, recently I've realised that I've changed more than it has. :/
(Stop hurting her *nods* So you don't care that I was hurt? even when I forgave her and now you and star are saying you're protecting sil, what about protecting me? am I not your friends too?
Fine. I see how it is. Yeah, I understand why everyone loves Sil. I do too. She's like a sister to me and I said that it was fine. And then you two but in and make me feel like shit again after she did, and you think you're making things better?
I'm not coming back.)
*Chione and all of her characters went back to her house after the after party thing*
*Chione is sitting with the twins playing with them as people come up to her and say sorry for her loss as if they understood*
*A shadowy figure comes out of no where and starts placing boxes around the house then runs back into the forest*
*A few seconds later an explosion comes from the house, killing everyone inside*
The End.)
(*hugs Gem*
No. :c)
Chi, in an ideal world, I would protect both of you, all of you. I do care that you were hurt. Sophia might not, admittedly, but I do. However, if I can stop more people being hurt by talking to you, I will try. Admittedly, I did a better job of trying to protect Silente than I did you, but that's pureply because I can argue against you easily to defend Silente, but as for how to help you, I'm totally lost and don't know what to do.
I don't think I'm making things better. I think I am trying the best I can and most likely failing.
Also, 'saying' - I don't really go on what people 'say'. I go more on the tone of their words, what I get out of it. If you notice, I wouldn't have mentioned anything to you ordinarily, because it's hard to do that without hurting you further, which is why I didn't say anything until Sophia already did (at which point, the damage was already done).
I laughed at the character count thing, Star!!
I'm talking to Luci on Facebook (something else you never got, Star xD) and she said she can snapchat Mara to email me and also she says hi to you :)
Oh by the way guys, if Star says something, listen to her. She was always one of the wisest of us.
@Ieni: CHARACTER COUNTS ARE ANNOYING. :O I have a reputation for long rants! I can't be dealing with LIMITS! XD
Ah. :) Well, I say hi back. :)
Yup. I don't have Facebook or snapchat. XD XD
:P
I'm not all the wise, Ieni. I've been wrong a lot in my life. About a lot of things. And I've met people on here who were much wiser than me.
HOWEVER, if you're listening to me -
"Somebody has to start. Somebody has to step forward and do what is right, BECAUSE it is right. If nobody starts, then others cannot follow."
- Lirin, The Way of Kings, The Stormlight Archive, Brandon Sanderson.
*nods*
(I am back.
I rather like that quote, Star.)
Claire: Can they be trusted?
Aye, Star is indeed a wise 'un.
Well, you're wiser than me, you can have that :) + okay :). I don't have snapchat either.
But what is 'right', Star? How can we trust that what we do is right? Because some people who believe they are right I see to be wrong and yeah.
(Being right is an opinion.
Hello.)
*all that wise
I do, Sophia. It's also my Main Motivation In Life As Of Yesterday. I've decided it is my Thing To Tell To Myself To Make Myself Do The Right Thing. However, it doesn't work when trying to motivate myself to do pointless stuff like homework. :P
And now I'm reminded, Trip, what you said earlier -
my handwriting is horrible, so I'm pretty sure all my teachers dread marking/deciphering my work. XD
Being right is an opinion, but are some opinions more right than others? Where does fact leave opinion? Idk, everything is complicated.
(I'm sorry..
*leaves*)
Somewhat surprised at the lack of response to the revelation that I'm Solus but I guess in the wake of other events and the fact that it wasn't my best act ever do make it understandable.
...
Um, hi guys.
(*hugs Silente tightly* It is not your fault.
Star, perhaps there may be another quote which will motivate you to do your homework?
Hello, Blake.)
(Please Sophia, if I wished to be called Blake that'd be my displayed name.)
(I'm back from my break,
This place is soooo addictive..... )
(Hello, Garrett.)
@Trip: I'm an 'un? O_O
Thanks, but you're probably wiser than me, Trippington. :)
. . . Why am I calling you that? O_O Clara calls you that.
@Ieni: Not necessarily. :)
@IeniandTia: No, there is not 'right'. All fact is opinion, and so, like Tia said, being right is an opinion, and, like Ieni said, a lot of people do 'right things' that I would consider wrong.
Jasnah in The Stormlight Archive says that there is no one, singular Truth. There is no 'this is right, this is wrong'. Which sounds obvious, but it's actually rather interesting. I mean, I've spent the past few years of my life trying to gain knowledge so I can get closer to this ideal of knowing what is right and what is not, but it's rather like flawlessness or normalness. You can never actually GET there.
Jasnah is, incidentally, a very intelligent historian who also happens to be a heretic in a time when basically everyone is religious - like in the olden days when basically everyone was Christian. And she says that one of the best attempts someone made at converting her to the main religion (the Christianity alternative, we'll say) was when they showed her the Book of Endless Pages, which is the holy book of a denomination of this main religion.
And the Book of Endless Pages - every page in it is completely blank.
This is because that denomination believes that no book can tell them everything there is to know and that there are ALWAYS more answers, there is always more to learn.
I like the idea of the Book of Endless Pages. Like, I suppose everyone's individual metaphorical Book is different, and I suppose everyone's Books change as they grow older. Mine's probably filled with quotes. :P So like, everyone has a different concept of right and wrong, and no one has the right definition of right because no one knows what is really right.
However, I believe that by learning more, we can get closer to being there. Yes, actually getting there is impossible, but getting closer is not. It's like one of those graphs in maths, like the graph of tangent, and the lines go up and up and up and they never QUITE meet the thingymabobbin, but you can be closer to the axis than another point. Or like normal. No one is 100% normal, but someone people are a lot more normal than others. :P
Jasnah also said a brilliant line I'd love to quote, but my sister has the book so I can't find it. However, it was something about how those who are truly wise are always ready to look at the reasonings/virtues of their opponents and to take on new ideas/change their views, and that all others, whether religious or heretic, were equally close-minded. It was a good quote. I'll get back to you when I get the book back. :P
Hi, Garret. :)
@Blake: Sorry. I was just like "J? Who's J?" because I only know you as J in the context of Blake . . . like how I know multiple Emilys and so if someone mentioned an Emily I wouldn't know which Emily it was unless further information was given. :P
Hi, anyway. :) *hugs* Welcome back. :)
(Hello Star, Soph and J )
"Those who truly seek wisdom are those who will acknowledge the virtues of their adversaries and who will learn from those who disabuse them of error."
There. :)
Anyway, in answer to the original question(?), no, I don't know for certain what's right. But I have enough trust in myself to follow my own ideals of right and wrong. Also, the main thing that quote does/should do/will hopefull do is motivate me to help. I've said recently that I've been ceasing to care, and that's true. I'd see people in need of help (not much, just a little) and could not be bothered to help them.
This quote has motivated me to help, and it's the only thing that has done so in months and months, so I rather appreciate it and I hope it keeps working. :P

@Lantern: It's cool, it's fun. :)
I. Can. Read. Upside. Down. But. It. Translates. Slowly. With. Pauses. Like. A. Robot. And. There. Is. Also. A. Lack. Of. Tone. And. Atmosphere and I can't be bothered to read that slowly, plus reading toneless writing bores me. It's partially why I'm so keen on punctuation. :P
Plus difficult words are difficult, like the j. :O And the a - r - a - d/b - i - c
. . .
Arabic, right. :)
I did get it was 'j' once I tipped my head upside down and could see it in-context in the sentence, though. :)
*But it IS fun, so dw. :) My complaints are analytical ones, not ones born of annoyance. :)
I enjoy reading upside down. I can do it fairly easily but it more of a challenge which is entertaining.

@Audra: I wouldn't say I ENJOY it, because I tend to only assign that word to bursts of positive emotions that come from doing an activity, but it is interesting and it does add spice to my life. :)
I mean, I don't read my books upside down but I every once and awhile, with something not to hard I enjoy it.
:O
I would never read books upside down. When I read a book, I like to be reading in Perfect Reading Conditions so that I can get the full effect of the book and my experience is not ruined. By Perfect Reading Conditions, I generally mean silence, but I also mean reading the correct way up. Reading upside down would ruin it. :P
*totally not still doing that English homework :P*
Star, homework, now.
Hanging upside down in my cave is where I'm most comfortable, so I do mostly read upside down. :D
:D
:'D
I'm DOING homework, Silente-y. Commenting whilst writing actually helps a tad, although it slows my progress massively.
(Thanks, though. :))
@Trip: XD XD
*hugs Sil*
(So, anybody up for a game of kill-the-Kas?)
I am the humour master! *stands in a crane position*
*hugs Tia :/* No. :/
:P
You are, Trip. :P
(*hugs Silente tightly*)
Oh, you're too kind Star. *wobbles a little*
Mwahahaha! I'm now stalking, I mean um following, Star on Goodreads!
Yes Trip, you really are. Kind of. Except me. But besides that..
Yes you are.
Never mind you are. I'm not that funny to other people but I amuse myself greatly and I think I laugh the most at my comments and jokes.
Hmm. That's actually kind of sad. Oh well.
Hello Silente.
That is debatable, Trip.
Audra, amusing yourself is far more important than amusing everyone else. That's just a bonus.
Wordsnof wisdom from the humour master.
She said she wanted us to try tea bagging but I just couldn't do it. I only keep Nescafe in the shed.
Who dares defy the humour master? *thunder cracks in the distance*
No, wait. Sorry, wrong soundbite. Let's try again. *budom Tish!*
Okay. One last try.
*Dun dun duuun!*
(I am here my darlings)
Herrow Garky.
(Hey Trip ^,^ how art thou?)
True Trip. Very true.
Hmm. I don't feel sick anymore. Just headachy. But I got pulled out of school early because I was sick. I really felt horrible but now I feel almost completely fine.
I should have stayed..
After that weekend in the shed, I never saw her again. It turned out she wasn't looking for a relationship, she was DIY-curious
(I am well thank ye. And yeselves?)
Ah, don't beat yourself up about it.
(Rhossie darling! *glomps*)
(One can find herself flustered as she watches the film 'working girl')
(Chlo Chlo honey *accepts glomping and huggles you* )
(Hello Everyone! *hugs you all* )
Mmmm, that's it, she moaned
Now pinch it between your fingers, wiggle it about then pull gently.
I was only too happy to follow her instructions. I'd never played jenga before.
(*huggles*)
And you don't let me use innuendoes..
*lightening cracks in the distance*
I think that the humour gods are displeased Garrett.
(And what were you expecting with a title like that?)
(Silente, please email me.)
Ah man, I just saw your profile picture Garrett. You're that Cypher. I was so annoyed when them removed him in the new codex. He was the most inrpteresting chaos marine character!
*snuggles Chloe* )
Your point is Jai? )
Are they Trip? Because I find what I'm reading funny *nods*
But I could always sacrifice you to the humour gods....
Later Sophia. When my eyes have gone down.
(*snuggles*)
That would displease the humour gods, and they are on good terms with the dice gods, so unless you wish to be cursed with eternal ones then you'd better not sacrifice me!
@Gar: I have to admit, I missed most of your shed jokes; I'd haev to read them over a second time to understand the reference. XD
That Jenga one though. XD
@Audra: I laugh at my own jokes too. It's because all my jokes target my sense of humour, I think. :P
Yeah, I didn't get to see how good he was....
But from what people have told me, he was a badass *nods* and right now I'm going through a fallen angel's phase
And okay fine... I won't sacrifice you... *looks at Chloe* *smiles*
How about you sweetie? )
So cool. A terror on the battlefield. A baddass in the lore.
I have nothing clever to say, I'm afraid.
(*hides in a hole*)
I shall dedicate.
(I dedicate this page to ...
Air)
Or rather, Inky shall. It's just as well. I have no great ideas.
But everything you say is clever, Clara. :)
Air, yes, quite. Air is good. Without air, I would be unable to breathe, or dry my laundry.
Its true. Everything you say is clever.
That's entirely impossible, Star. No one can be one-hundred percent clever all the time. They would burst, or something.
Everything you say is clever Annikka.
(*takes back my ded* you can ded if you want)
DAMMIT STAR. :P
You're all a bunch of bally flatterers, that's what you are. Blogland is so terribly good for my ego.
I still stand by my point, however. No one can be clever all the time.
Hey, I don't burst, do I?
SORRY TRIP. :P
GREAT MINDS THINKK ALIKE (and idiots seldom differ).
@Clara: Well, take it as a metaphor, then. :P
@Trip: XD XD
I hope you don't plan on bursting anytime soon, Trip. Who else shall I get my drinks from?
(hear hear! And please come out Chlo *nods* )
(the fluff for him is awesomes, I believe there is rules for him again Trip )
Thank you Star *smiles* all of my jokes are coming straight from fifty sheds of grey )
I love stacking my barbecues in my shed at the end of summer. You can't beat a bit of grill-on-grill action.
(No)
Well I suspect all the fluids that would come bursting out would tide you over for a while.
(why not? *looks sad* )
Fifty Shades of Grey? You mean that badly-written drivel? Honestly, why pay for such a thing when you can find lots of the same genre on the Internet for free?
*sips tea*
(Very well, ye've forced my hand. *begins to pour salt into the hole*)
I..realise I probably dont have an undedicated page.
But I dedicate a page to Gemma.
Because she left.
And no one gave a shit.
No one said bye.
She blew up her damn characters.
And no one mourned them.
So I dedicate to Gemma.
Because I care for you..And I realise you say you don't blame me but I'm sorry anyway.
I hope you live a good life.
And I hope your door doesn't stay closed.
Ugh, Tripsworth, don't say such things. The thought of living off your bodily fluids makes me quite ill.
(Because I'm heartless)
@Clara: XD
*hugs Silente*
Apparently I have to work a bit harder on that helping/caring thing.
Well actually, I did. I just emailed her.
(*appears in a puff of sunshine* GUYS I FEEL HAPPY FOR LIKE THE FIRST TIME EVER! *hugs everyone and gives them cake*)
(Gemma left? Shoot I wasn't here...I'll miss her
Hear hear)
Many people leave, and many people return. I have seen too many people leave to take it very seriously. My psyche couldn't handle it.
*sips tea quietly*
I will dearly miss Chione, should she stay away. If she returns, I will not be surprised.
(hear hear Jai )
(Chlo, you'll be heartless when I'm the pope and there is a McDonalds on the moon
None of those things are going to happen... )
(Clars I'm reading a parody of fifty shades *nods*
Its called fifty SHEDS of grey (because its a parody)
(Hey Vel)
Ah, Velvet. How is your life?
And I'm sorry that that comment was so aggressive but I'm not in the mood for subtlety at the moment.
(For the first time in forever... *gulps the cake down in one*)
Even cakey fluids?
Dynamite?-Zaf
Considering Fifty Shades began as Twilight fan fiction, I shudder to think what fresh hell will be unleashed on us next, spawned from Fifty Shades fan fiction.
Perhaps it will continue, generation after generation of drivel, all born from Twilight.
"Many people leave, and many people return. I have seen too many people leave to take it very seriously."
I ditto that, actually, Clara. I mean, I would LIKE to care more when people announce they're leaving, but y'know, wanting to care and actually caring and two different things.
@Garret: XD Sounds fun. :P
HEY VELVET! :)
(It's surprising how heartless I can be)
It's okay, Silente. We deserve it.
@Clara: XD *laughs* Yeah.
Dynamite.
And now I'm going to leave before I start more fights cause more departures or slap anyone. Be back when I've calmed.
@Inky: Not really. Everyone can be heartless, even people you wouldn't expect to be, such as yourself.
There is a time and a place for subtly, Silente. Don't worry yourself about it.
And thank you, Star. I'm glad I'm not alone in my views.
(Wait, Gemma LEFT?! As in, forever not coming back goodbye, I'll never see you again?
Hi Inky...
My life seems a lot better than yesterday, but no Gemma's left I just feel... *shrugs*)
(*huggles Sil*)
Gotta agree with Annikka and Star. I don't like to say it because people don't like it, but it's true.
Like Blake is case and point.
(it is Star *nods* the books are just brilliant )
(I didn't know that Clars (how fifty shades came to being) well I've never read it and I never will... )
(pfft Chloe, please stop fibbing! )
BOOM BOOMS!!!!-Zaf
...
*shakes head*
(I'm nt lying)
(Hey Star...
Inky, you aren't heartless, you are the best big sister and you are always there for me when I am upset (a lot of the time) so you aren't heartless!
*hugs Jai*)
To add to my earlier lament -
Why do they make me SWEAR in essays? Why? I mean, only in the quotes, but I am not comfortable writing 'shit' and 'nigger' in my school exercise book, thank you very much.
(Hi Zaf...)
(Just send an email if you fancy saying goodbye Velvet.)
Is this a new thing of yours, Tripswell? Spelling my name with two K's? You've done it twice now, and it's rather off-putting.
@Velvet: I agree, Inky definitely isn't heartless. My earlier comment on her heartlessness referred to how she, like everyone other person, COULD BE heartless on occasion. Just making that clear. :P
*nods with Trip and Clara* :/ Yes.
@Garret: Yup. Adra's read it and she told us that at the beginning, the author of Fifty Shades has LITERALLY just changed the names of the characters - she was pointing out all the similarities between Edward Cullen and Grey(?) and laughing. :P
(hey Vel *hugs* )
*hugs everyone*
Sure Chlo and I'm the pope *nods* )
Hey Zaf!! :)
My attitude towards swearing has always been rather laissez faire. I do not like it, so I do not do it. But I have no qualms about other people swearing: Let them do it, I do not care.
(OHMIGOSH, my bc just commented "Looking nice" on my selfie on ig, what do I say?!)
Boom booms.
@Clara: :) That's a good attitude.
I didn't use to swear. Now I'm been around other people swearing enough that I swear. That's just life, in my opinion. :P
I suggest "Thank you," or "Yes, I know."
*I've
BC?
(*bf
RHOS! But I thought you were leaving for a while?... *hugs*)
(You may be though Rhos..)
