(G'night, Tia.)

Lavender Hope said...

Okay, so I was with a group of teens and we had to go into a forest for some kind of field trip. It was set similar to the Vikings of How to train your dragon. There were these two girls(Hope[which was strange] and one other girl who's name I forgot). They were sort of those mean/popular girls who use people for their own entertainment.

So they talked to me and put it in my head to go off by myself into the forest. I really can't remember much, only that I had to pack a lot of food and clothes and stuff. And I went off.

I have glimpses of scenes where I'm walking across a wooden bridge(sort of broken down and half rotting), and I THINK someone was following me? Can't be sure. And this whole time the lighting is just from a firey torch, so a lot of things are in shadow with a little bit of fire light giving hints to what was around me.

Then I found a dragon. I honestly can't remember how, but it was there. And it was HUGE. like, lying down, it was probably as tall as a school bus and as long as a- okay, I can't describe it. But it was way bigger than me, though not as big as say a mountain or a giant squid.

I don't remember much of the meeting, only that it didn't try to eat me and I have a fuzzy memory that it spoke inside my mind. The next vivid part I remember is the whole clan of Vikings(here's where the characters from the movie come in) are standing at the entrance of a big double door. They're armed and angry, getting ready to charge at the dragon. I was standing next to it, pressed close to his flank, scared that he'll get hurt but unable to do anything to help.

That's the last thing I remember.

((A/N: I write so much better under an alias, tbh. It doesn't matter if you all know who this is, anyway. It's just the empowering feeling of not being responsible for the actions of my characters.))

Lavender Hope said...

Night Tia!

Yes they were, J. Loved that part!

John said...

(You had a dream about How to Train Your Dragon.)

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Drama*
You're characters are awesome. Love the style of writing you use!

:)

Lavender Hope said...

*facepalms*
*Your

@J: Yup. And Skulduggery. Instead of Val, I was his partner. And I have no idea where we were. Most of the setting was in an apartment somewhere on a rough side of town.

Lavender Hope said...

But that dream was a while ago. The dragon thing happened last night.

John said...

(Dreams are weird.)

Lavender Hope said...

Yes they are. And for some reason, most of mine are like an action adventure movie.

ONCE I EVEN HAD CREDITS PLAYING AFTER THE DREAM ENDED. LIKE WHAT?

John said...

Seems like something a dream would do... I don't remember my dreams very often .

Lavender Hope said...

That was a dream I had when I first discovered Artemis Fowl and learned about the other books in the series before even reading them.

And the strange part? IT WAS CLOSE TO HOW THE BOOKS ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND I HADNT EVEN READ THEM YET. Except it was a mix between two or three of them.

Lavender Hope said...

If it was long, or I try to remember everything right after I wake up, before it fades, then I'm able to remember a lot of my dreams.

Lavender Hope said...

Ya know, sometimes I forget to check if I'm talking to a character or an author.

dX

Lavender Hope said...

THIS MAKES ME WANT TO WRITE AGAIN. D:

But I never finish my stories!

John said...

I haven't read the Artemis Fowl books in forever. Those were really good books...

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah. I wish it didn't have to end so soon! Like I want to know what happened after that!

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry, I'm shouting. I'm hyper, but I don't know why. XP

John said...

It's fine, you're the one keeping the conversation going xD

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah, and then I go look at Twitter and not come back for twenty minutes. -_-

Oops. :P

BUT NOW I HAVE NO MORE CONVERSATION TOPICS! :O

WHAT SHOULD WE TALK ABOUT???

Oh, and also, most of my comments are feeling very much like a one person conversation. :P I comment too much at once.

Lavender Hope said...

Just like this one, in which I was going to add that by commenting a lot at once, it makes me feel like I'm causing the comment space to go down too fast...

Or something.

Lavender Hope said...

I mean, this is the last PAGE OF THE POST AND THERE'S ONLY ME TALKING ALL AT ONCE AND JUST

CAPS! No, that wasn't actually what I was going to say, but anyway.

Just that I want to save space for everyone else who comments but when no one's even talking a lot, or are distant or aren't even on, then it's hard not commenting. BUT THEN IT FEELS LIKE IM ALL BY MYSELF BUT IM NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE HERE RIGHT?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((A/N: Thanks, Lav. It seems to be unique to this alias, actually. I quite like it.))

Lavender Hope said...

I like it too, Moss. :)

So... Did Dugglyn poof? Because I'd like to dedicate if she's not going to.

John said...

Yeah I'm pretty sure that she poofed...

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I'm gonna ded!!!!! I just had dinner!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

YO!

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((A/N: You're actually saying stuff, though. It may not be saving-the-universe-level important, but it's better than commenting the same thing half a dozen times. Usually that happens by accident, as the result of a faulty internet connection, but you're talking a lot is also somewhat accidental, because if you thought of everything beforehand, you'd put it all in one comment, so... Idk?

Also, I had a really interesting dream recently that I might want to turn into a story, but I don't think I want to sent it here. Maybe I'll tell you over email, though, or maybe I'll send it to you via owl. Telepathic ninja owl! xD))

John said...

Speak of the devil.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Welp, I'm telepathic.

Yeah, we went out to dinner and we had to go right then so I couldn't say bye or anything :/

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I'll bbs!

Lavender Hope said...

DUGGY WHY DID YOU POOOOF??? D:

Oh wait. You said why.

*tacklehugs her*
YAY YOU BE BACK! Hi!!!

Okay, Moss! I'll be ready! But forgive me if I reply late.

And yeah, that happens when I click comment, but then get an after thought. But it's going to happen anyway otherwise you'll never see me until there's a huge comment filled with randomness.

Lavender Hope said...

Okay Dug!

Lavender Hope said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
John said...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand she's gone again.

Lavender Hope said...

Yup. Faulty wifi. -_-

And funny how we're talking about telepathic ninja owls...

ARETHA- ahem. Aretha has her signature for email saying Sent from my owl, which is really cool. :)

John said...

Rose has a habit of saying Sent from my Tardis, which is equally as cool.

Lavender Hope said...

Owls and Tardis and Peaches oh my!

Don't ask, my brain wanted to say that...

I was going to say something more like... Okay, I can't think of one.

PEGASUS! That is awesome. Okay, I'm going with that.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Soy! It's my mom's birthday so we had cake!!
CAKE CAKE CAKE!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I sign mummy emails with

~Duggy the malfunctioning camel bean!!

Lavender Hope said...

YAY FOR CAKE! :D

Happy birthday to your mom, Dug! Had a good time?

Lavender Hope said...

Oh Duggy. :P

John said...

I don't sign my emails.... it would probably be sarcastic; borderline rude...

Lavender Hope said...

Is this going to work? Link to the next post.^

Lavender Hope said...

*sighs*
Nope. It didn't.

How do you get it to actually BE a link? Like, you can click on it?

Also, I don't sign my emails either. :P

John said...

Yes Lav, yes it will.

John said...

Copy and paste it.

Lavender Hope said...

How do you mean?

I'm talking about the ones Tia and Sil can make saying "Next post here" with the link already inside the text.

I think I was able to do that before, but forgot how.

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

*tis now 17*

-Zaf

John said...

(*Claps politely for Zaf*)

John said...

(Also I am going to go now because it is 12:16 in the morning.)

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

*bows* I shall be back in 8 hours

-Zaf

Lavender Hope said...

Blah this is probably not going to have anything in it or whatever but I'm trying

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I dedicate this page to dreams. Recently my dreams have been a little... odd.
I was shot in the neck yet I didn't die.
Then, in the next dream assassins after me and two friends. They shape shifted into cars but they still kept trying to kill me so I had to kill them but the only weapon I had was a metal water bottle. At the time it was fine, but now I'm horrified.
I've had wings, been chased by dementors, and found 2 foot long hermit crabs. I standing next to Martin Luther King Jr when he was shot except the bullet hit me.
I've met Derek Landy 4 times.
Sometimes dreams make you happy, sometimes sad, sometimes scared, sometimes excited. They can be random or related to life. They're so weird but I love dreaming. So to dreams.

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

I'm just 17....17....

*giggles*

-Zaf

Lavender Hope said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZAF!
*pulls the string on a party popper*

I might be her in eight hours, but not sure when that would be.

Night, J!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

**cats not cars
Bashing in cars isn't that bad

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

*screeches happily*

-Zaf

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAFFY!!!

Lavender Hope said...

HEAR HEAR DUG!

Dreams are awesome. :)

And I've never really had what people call nightmares. Because they're still cool. I consider those just really freaky dreams.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Email Zaffy!

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, I was wondering.

Cars are okay, but cats?! Yikes!

I've had a dream where I was at school and zombies(or were they aliens? They looked more like aliens) were roaming around. Then I found a gun that looked like a cool water gun right when the creature was standing in front of me(I was on the ground so was looking up at it) then I woke up before I could shoot it.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Yeah it was bad..

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Dug*

I did have a nightmare when I was younger though. Still a really strange dream, but it scared me into waking up.

So I'm in the view of an audience. The scene in front of me is desert with the roman whateveryouspellit(the place where the games of man vs loins are held) except it was a SUPERMARKET and everyone there were NUMBERS.

An orange 4 comes running in screaming for everyone to run because the thing was coming and it was going to crush them all.

A green 8(cashier) turned to 4 and said that the thing doesn't even exist anymore. But as he said that, a HUGE T-Rex foot smashed through the roof and I could LITERALLY HEAR its roar IN MY EARS.

I THOUGHT THERE WAS AN ACTUAL TREX IN MY HOUSE AND I ACTUALLY HAVE A VERY IRRATIONAL FEAR OF THEM SINCE WATCHING JURASSIC PARK TOO YOUNG.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Msd

Lavender Hope said...

*laughs*
Loins? Where did that come from? XD LIONS.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Ok, that's weird...


I love Jurassic park! It was suspenseful and I found it funny

Lavender Hope said...

Okay, Dug.

Oh, and that's not a fear anymore. Just when I was younger.

I had another TREX related dream more recently and that one was much cooler and didn't scare me as badly.

Lavender Hope said...

I still don't like T Rex's though, but other than the part where it eats people, I liked the movie too. It had some funny parts in it. :)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Let's try this...

Also, sorry I poofed. Typing up the dream piece by piece...

Lavender Hope said...

:O

Please can you tell me how to do that once you're done?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

It's the a HTML tag, so it's similar to bold or italics, but you go

<-a- -href-=-"-blogger.com"-> [Insert text that you want to be hyperlinked] <-/-a- >

Except take out the -'s

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

And I'm not done. :-P

Going back to it now

Lavender Hope said...

I actually understood that!

But yeah, I keep forgetting because it's not as easy as doing bold or italics.

Lavender Hope said...

Like this? Next post back.

Lavender Hope said...

Whoohoo! :D

Thanks Moss!
*hugs*

Lavender Hope said...

Going now, bye!

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

(I like Into the Woods...it uses aspects of the original Cinderella. Like with the sisters and the slipper..)

Savannah said...

(Morning! No one's on but oh well... That's what I get for falling asleep last night...)

Lavender Hope said...

I'm not really here, well, sort of. I'm just going to be REALLY distant and msp(poof. :P)

And sleep is a good thing!

Lavender Hope said...

UGH, the smell coming from our kitchen is horrible. I have no idea what it is, but it's sour and STRONG... dX

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hello.)

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Aria! Good morning and how are you?

Lavender Hope said...

Okay then.

Sorry, dinner. I'll be back.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I'm fine Lav..you?

Ok.)

Savannah said...

(Heyyy, people!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hey Iris, sorry.)

Star Inkbright said...

I have worked it out.
For years, I have struggled to rant about books, because I'd always rant to quote, but how to quote? I'd have to find the page and type a load out, and that took ages, vleeding some of the emotion away from the page qnd meaning that by the time I'd finished quoting I'd lost interest. Plus, I couldn't quote irl. I could type out bits and bring them to school, maybe, but that would take so long and I never managed to cinvince myself it waan't pointless.
But now I have it.
AS I REREAD, I TAKE PICTURES OF THE GOOD PARTS, AND THEN I CAN SEND THE IMAGES TO MY LAPTOP AND PUT THEM ON A WORD DOCUMENT AND CROP AND EDIT AND TITLE ACCORDINGLY AND THEN I COULD ATTACH THEM TO EMAILS WHILST RANTING OR PRINT THEM OUT AND TAKE THEM TO SCHOOL AND LIKE ROLBSQYOLNBSWY I AM SO COOL.
RANTING PROBLEM, SOLVED.
I'M SO CLEVER.

Star Inkbright said...

I also worked out that I could practise high-level vocab for English by finding a load of complicated words to describe my favourite characters (or favourite people, come to think of it) and then I'd remember the words and so could use them in exams.
I know
I rock. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Wbd. I have an English extract question to procrastinate writing. :P

Star Inkbright said...

You know, I know I'm awesome and all, but it should probably be noted that I'm not awesome ejough not to be shitty at English. Or aeesome ebough to defeat the powers of procrastination.
. . .
meh.

Star Inkbright said...

Actyally, msd. :/

Lavender Hope said...

Hello again!

I am busy, Aria, otherwise good! :)

Msd and wbvvvvvvvd.

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, and also, THAT IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA STAR YOU ARE AWESOME.

Star Inkbright said...

@LAV: IKR
I'MSO COOL
THANK HOU. :)

Here, but wbd. Struggling to do English. :P

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*bored*)

Star Inkbright said...

Sorry, Aria. :/

Lavender Hope said...

I would do what I've been doing for the past two days, and just comment everything that I think of, but I'm too distant at the moment... Sorry Aria. :/
*realizes that last part was the same thing Star said*
... Huh.

Lavender Hope said...

Oh yeah! Aria, my question was would you be able to spend a day with me when I'm in hyper mode and not go insane or get annoyed at me?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hello. Not sure if I can stay, but...

I had a weird dream. I'll try to remember more of it.

Anyways, hello! How are you guys?)

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Tia! Did you read about my dream earlier?

What was yours about?

And I'm a little busy right now, so I'm really distant. Trying not to be too distant, but can't help it if it happens.

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, I also just realized that that's not really a how are you answer.

I'm good! Except that when I smile or move my chin in certain ways, it hurts... Banged it against someone's head when we were both crouching to pick something up off the floor and bam.

Ouch...

Star Inkbright said...

I will be very glad not to be taking English Literature next year.
I'm perfectly good at analysing things from text, t's just I have to analyse this, this and that and then structure my reply and like . . . it's so hard for me to condense everything down into a few paragraphs that hit all the correct marks. In timed conditions, no less.
You know, what makes me bad at English is what makes me good at English. I'm so good at anakysing things from a text that I can't make my analysis not-deep enough ti be written in time.
I swear this is all backwards. :/
To rant about the Stormlight Archive again, one of the characters is a lighteyed teenager named Shallan, and she goes off to study with one of the world's most renowned historians, Jasnah Kholin, who also happens to be the king's sister, or in other words Dalinar's niece. And Shallan is kind of good at making smart, insolent comments, and she said that when she was younger her tutors used to punish her for them by making her do stuff like stand in the corner with books on her head. And Jasnah said that was a stupid way of dealing with it, because it only made Shallan try to be cleverer quicker in order to get rhe words out, instead of refining her cleverness, and that they should really have found a way to put her cleverness to better use instead of trying to shut it down.
School systems. They don't know what they're doing eith their life. They're meant to be teaching us to be clever and to think for ourselves, but they're actually teaching us to be less clever and more obedient. Wtf.

Star Inkbright said...

Incidentally, I often procrastinate schoolwork by ranting about how stupid the achoolwork is. :P

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I have my English prelim tomorrow but I can't be bothered studying for it. I can't be bothered doing anything. Not even laying in bed all day...)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey... yeah, Hope.

Hello again.)

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, I want to do other things, but I won't let myself because I have ro do schoolwork, so I just sit here.
If I knew how to find motivation, I'd tell you the secret, but as it is . . . :/

Hi Kas. :)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Yo Kas)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(...)

Lavender Hope said...

I'm actually good at English literature and find answering the questions kinda fun.

What I'm really bad at is grammar. Like, I just say things, but sometimes the grammar would be wrong or- well, okay, sometimes I do it on purpose, but for things like how to find certain subjects or predicates in a sentence or figuring out what word is actually what part of speech. Like, I know how to SAY things, but when you actually have to find stuff like that, it's so hard like how did I not realize what part of speech 'of' was?

...

I'm really bad at that...

And I also agree. I want to find motivation to study, but how???

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*hugs Star and Aria, collapsing in their arms*)

Lavender Hope said...

...

So how is everyone?

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Tia*
No wait. Here, hug a snowman.

⛄️

Wait! It's Olaf! :O

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(O.o Kas are you ok?
I'm being very mature in a call to Adam. He can't talk cause his dad's in the room so I'm trying to make him laugh, so I'm making farting noises.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(How mature.

...)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(ikr?)

Lavender Hope said...

*snorts*
Aria. XD

How ARE you, Tia?
Snowmen are cold, so I shouldn't have told you to hug one.
*hugs him*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*hugs Hope, shivering*)

Lavender Hope said...

*wraps him in a blanket*
So can you please tell us what's wrong?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Everything was silent then I blasted out the beginning of lion king.
AHHHHHH ZUBENYA!)

Lavender Hope said...

*bursts out laughing*
I've got Do you wanna build a snowman stuck on replay. :P

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Kas* :)

Sorry, just disappeared for lunch.
My suster was cutting an apple all wrong so I cut one just to rpove I ciuld cut apples better than her, but then I had to rat the apple meh. :P

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I'm so bored right now...I've ran out of ideas to make Adam laugh.
RP anyone?)

Star Inkbright said...

Also, spelling-punctuation-grammat is probably the only part of Emglish that I am always the best at. :P I grew up reading books. I learnt to write like I learnt to talk. Plus I have a good memory and I love terminology.
Spelling-punctuation-grammar is ALSO the part the school are giving us loadsof extra work on. Like, they took my only RS lesson away to give me another English lesson (I mean, they did it to our whole year group) so I coyld focus on the only part of English I'm actually good at, and yet they're still exoecting me to do a GCSE in RS and are giving me homework for it. Like - wow, thanks, appreciated. -_-

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

Star Inkbright said...

Lavender Hope said...

That sucks, Star.

Hi Zaf!

Too distant, sorry, Aria.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hi Zat! How are you? :3
I might toleplay with Hunter, Star.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Happy birthday, Zaffy!)

Star Inkbright said...

Btw, Lav, I like your profile picture. :)

Lavender Hope said...

The sucks comment was for the grammar school thing by the way.

Star Inkbright said...

@Aria: Okay. :) Um, where do you want to start?
*is lind of bad at starting, probably due to a lack of practise*

Lavender Hope said...

Thanks, Star. :)

Oh yeah, I know I said it like, three times already, but-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAF!!

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Happy Birthday, Zafira. We're both 17, woo...

Well, Aria is knocked out in Trip's bar with Wayke and Dugglyn so i'll leave her there.
Who do you want?
Tsubaki is with Flo, Chione is out with the twins, Jesabelle is with Annabelle.)

Star Inkbright said...

PH YEAH

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZAF!! :)

Lavender Hope said...

Okay, never mind. I'm going to have to go for a bit. Getting late and I need to finish this faster.

See you in a bit!
*poofs*

Star Inkbright said...

I'm sixteen. :P Looking forward to bring seventeen, though.
Awwww Zaf I remember when you were fifteen. :o We're both so old. O_O

Hmm . . . I don't mind, Aria. :/

*chews skin around fingernails and tries to think*

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

(Happy birthday Zaf!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

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

Star Inkbright said...

Hi, Sil. :)

Maybe if Jai's here we could roleplay Annabelle + Jesabelle + Hunter - if everyone agrees, of course. :)
