Yay! Fun!

As a treat, and to help you pass the time until I announce the title of the new book, the kindly folks at Harper Collins have come up with something that thrills me to the very core — a throwback to my childhood love of video arcades and all things Space Invaders...

Unbelievably awesome...

(again free country don't need to leave *smiles* I don't want to leave. I've gotten used to it here. I'm doing no harm by saying blakey when I did not know it the second time was just to annoy him *grins* let a man have some fun geez not like I'm mutilating someone by calling them their name with a y at the end)

John said...

(Well if we're going off that logic I could kill a man with no higher power being against it. Laws were written by people no better than any of us, so why should we listen to them? As for not bitching about it you just did.)

Keiron, I say this in the nicest way possible. Sophia's right. It would be nice if you could respect Blake's choice. You know, to avoid causing an argument...

(Tia - If someone found that film entertaining, they would have to be kept away from society for the protection of others. It is a fact.

Keiron - Having freedom of speech does not give you freedom to say whatever you want without consequences. If people asked to be called a certain name, that is what you should be calling them.)

(Yep you really do. "One true love", kid this isn't a story book.)

(I am actually currently agreeing with John (I presume, given that you were speaking with parentheses, that John is a suitable name?). Keiron, you are starting to "bitch" about it. And although you may find it fun, annoying him will gain you nothing other than people arguing with you.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

"Bitchy wives" so we'll just ignore that

1. All of these things are a representation of our world, bitchy wives and prostitutes exist too, and maybe they want to be represented in media too. It can't all be female protagonists doing soldier stuff.

2. So we'll ignore female characters who aren't running gangs or doing their own things.

3. The relationship between Michael and his family is a bit more than just "bitchy wife" they've both burned out, trying to be as confident in themselves as before, and trying to ignore their relationship issues rather than dealing with them.

4. A woman gets kidnapped by a man and takes control of the situation rather than being a helpless human being. Hardly sexist.

(bitching about him, not about breaking up with her. it's no secret that he annoys me when he types the way he does, no secret I don't like you most the time, you have your good points i suppose everyone does but I've got this thing were I can agree with someone on everything they say but would still disagree with them simply because I hate them I believe this is one of those times... I dunno?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

And how exactly are "others" protected?

John said...

(Literal age and the way you act are two very different things. Now if you wouldn't mind repeating that entire little ramble in a way that makes sense to normal people I'd be much obliged.

And take into consideration all the things you really don't know this time.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Hopey*

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

(Tia - Yes, they exist. But that is not all there is in terms of women. I am not asking for a soldier - just a half decent female character.

Michael's family? His wife who used to be a stripper and is having an affair with the tennis coach, and the daughter who wants to get into television so has to wear skimpy outfits? Both of whom use Michael himself just for his money?)

Anonymous said...

(It's very easy to understand if you know you can read... again I know a fair bit... Gemma likes to believe I can't read people that I just say I can but everything from the way someone types to the words the use the way they construct their sentence tell you something. You piece that together combine everything you know you get a story and you can find that storys logical end or help change it by moving on you, right now you'd change it. )

John said...

(Then allow me to make it a bit easier for you by telling you a little something about myself. I've never thought of suicide, to me it's just a dumb concept. But if I ever really did want to kill myself, here's what I would do.

I would climb up your ego, and jump down to your IQ.

And with that I take my leave, lost enough brain cells in this pointless argument already...)

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

(Despite the fact I do disagree with the joke about suicide, John, that does have to be one of the best replies I have seen.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

1. Amanda has an arrangement with Michael. He has had affairs before, so has she. In fact, it was him who cheated first. As I said, that's the point. To show that neither of them is contributing to making the marriage work.

2. This is a parody of X Factor and another reality show of some sort, possibly Kim Kardashian. I mean, she is famous for literally no reason than being on a reality show and being attractive. That is what the game is trying to portray, not the fact that you should enjoy this sexism, but indeed that it shouldn't exist, and children should be protected from it (hence, Michael stopping his daughter from going on the show)

3. When has there ever been a half decent GTA character?

John said...

(Okay just one last thing.

You say the words people use and how they construct their sentences can tell you things about people, and you're right.

What it tells me is you never passed anything above basic English.)

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

(I do agree with you in the respect that the game is attempting to make a point about sexism, but I believe it went too far the other way into misogyny itself. I am not easily repulsed, but I felt uncomfortable when Dragona was playing the game, and I did not allow him to carry on playing it when I learned of the torture scene.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Well, I've always viewed that section as a reality check. You're killing hundreds, even thousands of people in the game, without care. But then the shock of all of that hits you - it emphasises that violence isn't okay, and that being violent and hurting people isn't okay, and makes you think if it was okay killing all the people you've killed so far.

It also emphasises that your character is a psychopath.

After all, it's probably a good thing if people were disturbed by the torture scene rather than thinking that torture is okay.

Oi, Kerion or however you spell your name, don't you ever fight with any of my friends. I barely even know you, kid. I don't give two shits if you're some famous superhero and you're the most respectable guy on Earth.

You never mess with my friends. I've barely even spoke to you, but from what I've seen of you recently, you've been a shitburger with cries and a pissjuice. You've insulted my friends.

Yeah, you, John and Gemma have background, but that means shit all here. You don't bring personal relationships here. You don't insult others because you feel like it. I don't care who has dated who, I don't care who broke up with who.

You don't. Ever. Insult my friends. I love them, y'know. I would happily spend my the rest of my life with my friends on here, and what you have said has been offensive.

I'm being a bitch back, K. If you want to mess with someone, mess with me.

Lavender Hope said...

Before I leave, I just wanted to say

I consider everyone here as a friend, and I HATE seeing my friends fight. It makes me feel hopeless that I can't do anything to stop it. I care about EVERYONE, so just because it seems like I might take someone's side, doesn't mean I don't care about the other person. I know that we're all different and clash at times, but PLEASE, for the sake of the blog and everyone who visits, PLEASE try to get along with each other. I know it's hard, but all I ask is that you try.

And this is something I've been meaning to say for a while. I've tried leaving several times. By some reason, maybe for caring too much, I can't stay gone. You guys are probably the only people I can actually talk to easily, without having to break my sentences down in order to be understood. I LIKE talking to you, but HATE when fights break out because I can never say anything without fear of taking sides. I don't like taking sides when it comes to my friends.

But it seems like another argument has broken out and it. Sucks. I'd leave, but as I said, I can't, so I have to just sit here and watch feeling helpless.

Gah, I didn't even want to say these things in the first place, but I figured now it's just too much.

*feels like she still has more to say, but most is probably just repeating herself*
*sighs*
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. For what? I don't even know. You know what? I'm just sorry for the horrible mess my mind is in right now. I'm probably going to regret half of what I said up there. I don't usually pour out my feelings like this so I'm sorry you guys have to see it.

And I have to go now so...

(*groans and skips the last couple of comments*

John.. I really do have to give credit to that brilliant line. Except for your views on suicide..

I have to agree with Soph about the GTA thing, it is kinda sexist from what I've seen of it. It does kinda objectify women.
That being said I.. disagree with the human centipeed needing to be banned, but then again I've never seen it. But there are people out there who enjoy watching horror movies or Gore and whatnot and, yes, that's slightly unhealthy, but everyone is probably mentally broken in some sense.

Please don't insult people to get them to not insult people..)

Heh, my sister found John's line on the internet a few weeks ago and used it on my brother.

Okay, I don't think I have much to say to the most recent argument except -
Please. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. By hurting someone because they hurt someone, you are just causing more hurt.
"To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child." (Dalinar, The Way of Kings, Brandon Sanderson) If you have the feelings of wanting to annoy someone, that doesn't mean you have to act on them.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. It just means you can say things without legal repercussions. If you say cruel things, people will probably come to dislike you, pr an argumemt such as this one will spark up. That's just the price you have to pay for saying what you think, sometimes. Please bear that in mind.

Lavender Hope said...

*leaves a hug for Zaf*


Thank you guys.
*hugs El, Rhos, Kas, and Keiron too*

Oh, and Keiron, 'how could I not hate you?' I'm not sure if that was rhetorical or not, but I'm going to answer anyway.

One, I'm just the kind of person who forgives easily and not one to hold grudges. Though it depends, I guess. Two, I know you have a good heart, even if it's hiding behind a smart mouth. *smirks playfully here*

Yeah you cause a lot of arguments, and I don't approve of what you've done, but you're still kind when you want to be and you care. I like to see the good side of people, and that's what I see in you. So even after what you've done, I don't hate you, and I forgive you, even if it's not my place to forgive.

I'm not perfect either. Yeah, there are times I get angry and argue with my friends too, and honestly, when I get angry, it's pretty bad. I'm still learning and growing, and what I'm working on is just to let go of the hate. It does nothing but weigh you down and keep you from growing and moving on. We learn from the past in order to better ourselves for the future.

*laughs softly*
Sometimes my mind can go to very philosophical places. :P Anyway, I think that's all, though I hope that everyone here can think a little about what I've said. Maybe if we can all put in a group effort, there can be less arguing(unless it's just the usual, like, not insulting people and just have friendly debates and stuff about trivial things), and more having fun. Like we used to/usually do.

Anyway, this seems to have been longer than I meant for it to be, so I'll end this here.
*hugs everyone again*

Weeeee'll have to seeee about that. First I need permission, but if it's granted, I'll let you guys know. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Anyway. Second rant in response to an argument.

I disagree with Sophia (which is quite exciting, really, because I usually agree with her, so I'm just like 'ooh, this is new.') What is entertainment? It's something that entertains us, and that usually relates back to how our entertainmemt makes us feel. Mostly, I see entertainment as a way to explore various emotions (usually ones related to happiness), and I could spend a while going into detail on this theory, but I'm not going to coz that's beside the point.
Some people feel happy when they witness suffering. In my opinion, that is not a bad thing, as these people also tend to experience normal human emotions such as empathy. Just because someone enjoys seeing pain doesn't mean they're going to go and cause it, because causing pain is bad.
Personally, suffering doesn't make me happy, but arguing does. However, I know that argument upset many people here, and I would never delibrately upset someone just to create an argumemt (accidentally upsetting someone by pointing something out, I do all the time), so I try and avoid ways of arguing that might hurt people - either by deciding not to respond to triggering statememts when made by people who would be upset if I criticised them (still working on that one. It depends on the statement, but there's a line somewhere and I keep accidentally crosding it), or by adapting my language.
People who thruve off suffering as opposed to argumemts generally do the same - either by only being minimally cruel to their friends who won't mind and cruel to people they dislike who they see as needing to be hurt anyway, OR . . . by watching films like Saw, where there's a ton of suffering but no one actually gets hurt, resulting in everyone being happy.

Let's bring this discussion on innate feelings to sexuality. Assuming no one here's homophobic, which I don't think anyone is, we can all agree that you can't help your feelings and that some people like girls and some people like girls and spme people like both and some people like neither (maybr because they're attracted to others, maybe not), and that no one can help that.
In the same vein of thought, no one can help it if they're attracted to children.
Except children can't give proper informed consent.
So these people can never act on their attraction, and to do so would be wrong.
And however unfair that is on these people who never ASKED to be attracted to children, it's just what's necessary.

In the same way, people can't HELP it if they thrive off suffering or arguing, because you can't help your feelings. And I think it's very unfair to assume they're horrible people just because they have these feelings.
But generally, they can't go around acting on these feelings whenever they feel like it.
So I think it's rather nice and considerate to provide adequate entertainmemt for them, assuming this entertainmemt hurts nobody, because it can't hurt and will only help them feel better. And people feeling better is good.

Furthermore, I would agree with censorship for children - not allowing them to watch certain movies due to their age - but not for adults. Partially, this is because of the fact that watching scary mpvies can psychologically damage kids more easily than it can adults. But also, children are impressionable. We need to teach them what's okay and what's not. Presumably, by the time one is about our age *gestures to Blogland as a collective whole, implying approximately the average age*, one already knows what is right and what is wrong, so one can watch films that are wrong and not be greatly influenced by it.
Yes?

(Torture is never alright, whether it is real or not. And you are looking at a film which is based on torture. And even the movie itself agrees with me in the respect that people are given ideas because of it.

Star Inkbright said...

Imo, people will always torture. People don't base torture off the films because the films mafe them want to torture, the people wanted to torture and so they got ideas from the films. As such, films didn't cause people to want to torture; they want to torture anyway.
(my opinion).

And I see art as imitation of life. There is torture in life, so there is torture in art.

(But it is bad enough that torture exists in real life, and it should not be made worse by films. We are talking about a film which glorifies people being mutilated and stitching them mouth to anus. It is not, for example, comparable with the scene from Taken, which is rather tastefully done in comparison, even if I still disagree with it. It is vile, and disgusting.)

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

(*nods* Thats find Soph.. I know. You're often busy. Especially when arguing a point..)

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Jai, Soph.
*waves in greeting to Soph, hugs Jai*

Sorry, gotta catch some cats... Be back soon! Hopefully...

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

(*hugs Tamami back* hi/bye)

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

(It is more that I am in Huddersfield, Jaimie.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: Eith that argument, you could say all films should be about rainbows and butterflies. It's bad enough suffering exists - heaven forbid if we let art portray it!

@Jai: :) :)

Star Inkbright said...

Yeah. Sorry for distracting Soph. :P

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

(@Soph this early?? *blinks* wow.. *ignores temptation to get dressed and go to town*)

Jophiel said...

Just pointing this out:

If anyone messes with any of my friends, hell comes down. Sometimes with funny insults. It's like the whole Brave thing where everyone was picking on him because he was 'ritin lk dis'. And seriously. That is no reason you should pick on a person.

So, if people don't pick on people I really, truly love, then we won't have this problem with me turning into a flying bitch.

*raises hands to stop complaints*

I know, I am one at times, no matter what you guys say. All I'm saying is that you guys be civil, and I will too.

Now, I've got art homework to finish.

*bows out*

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

(*watches Deathy leave*)

Star Inkbright said...

Mmh. I would say, "I can't argue with that," but I can. I'm just not sure I much want to due to the fact I can see where you're coming from.

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

(*nods at star*)

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

(*glares slightly at mum's back*
Lord knows how she expects me to go to dad's when she isn't PAYING ME and I can't get a job because Connor needs babysitting!)

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

(*mutters* and when I have no clean clothes.)

Lavender Hope said...

Oh look. Wifi outside.
*is sitting beside a cat that she can't catch but doesn't mind to hang around when not trying to be put in a cage*

I'll show you a pic in a sec.

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

(Hi Tamami)

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

(Oh rats..)

Lavender Hope said...

Oops. Sorry, Jai. ^^'

This is Belle---->>

Lavender Hope said...

She was licking my fingers.

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

(I dedicate to being able to get a job,
Because I would love one.
To keeping your promises,
Because SOMEONE has to.
To hard work,
Even when it's the wrong work.
To being polite,
Because it's mean to be rude.
To just being there,
Because sometimes you're needed..

To Soph, Gemma, Star, Clara, Snow, Tamami and Ver.
Because I love them all.)

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

(Aww :)

Lavender Hope said...

Hear hear!
*hugs*
:)

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

(*hugs back*
*nudges* you scared me when you went missing.)

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

(Actually that's why I started talking about you when the shadow was around xD)

Lavender Hope said...

Exactly. /I/ may have been missing, but I was still here... As... Ya know, something /other/...

I can't leave, as I mentioned earlier. If I did go, I'd be ghosting at most.

Lavender Hope said...

And you have no idea how badly I wanted to comment about that email. :P Hence I used Scarlet.

Though she hates when I say /used/, because she's sort of more than a character or other name, so she feels like she gets a say in what she does. But since I couldn't comment as myself, she /helped/...

But I'm sorry for worrying you...

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

(Sorry, was eating.

*cuddles* it's fine. Twonk. *flicks your nose gently* Meanie. :)

Lavender Hope said...

*scrunches her nose and screws her eyes shut when she gets flicked*
Myeeh..
*her strange way of half meowing*
*cuddles back, making a silly face*

*sighs*
*still needs to put cats in a cage*
*she can't*

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Jai tightly*

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

(*smiles*

Aww. Why'd they have to go in a cage?)

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

(*comes back and grumbles about how I'm shouted at for NOT doing jobs when I'm not asked to and about how even when I do them I don't get any thanks*)

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: :( :(

Lavender Hope said...

People were painting some part of the building and the cats liked to roam in that area.

Sorry, just finished. Geez, when a cat doesn't want to be there, they really put up a fight...

*wasn't scratched, but they wriggled a lot*

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

(Ah okay Tam. Makes sense.)

Lavender Hope said...

*huggles Jai*
Don't worry, be happy that you got it finished. A thanks is just a bonus. Think of it that way.
*smiles slightly*

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry, another late reply. Got distracted.

And now it's dinner, so I'll eat and be back later after my shower. Hopefully I can get it before the others... We got a waiting list, first come first take. *fingers crossed*

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

(*hugs back*)

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

(I wish my sister didn't live at dad's house.)

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

(Then I could live there.)

Inky Flame said...

(hello ^.^)

Inky Flame said...

(damn
there's no one here )

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

(*sighs* arguing parents.. Yey..)

Inky Flame said...

(*huggles Jai* hey bach
it isn't fun, I know)

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

(*hugs Chloe back*)

Inky Flame said...

(*sighs* im in the dog house -_- my sister said I kicked her and I didn't
I don't know whre the red patch on her back came from, but I didn't
and because she was crying, my mum believed her)

Lavender Hope said...

Just finished my shower and wrapped a towel around my head like a turban.

Get this, I just made a small sneeze and the towel toppled. *laughs*
:P

Inky Flame said...

(hehe
hello Tamami ^.^)

Lavender Hope said...

Gosh, that sucks, Chloe.
*hugs*

Maybe she bumped into something and thought it was you?

Or she's just being mean and finding any way to get you in trouble.

Lavender Hope said...

*waves with a smile*

Inky Flame said...

(*hugs* well we were laying on my bed, the duvet was crumpled and she was laying on it

she took my phone off me to try and find an app, I asked for it back but she wouldn't give it back, so I snapped and snatched it off her.

my phone went off and wouldn't turn on, because its so crap

she slapped my leg so hard it went red and stormed off, I didn't touch her

then mum came back and asked why I kicked her, but I said I didn't

My sister comes downstairs crying, saying I kicked her

and well...)

Lavender Hope said...

*frowns*
Yeah, that is a wonder how a red mark managed to get on her back...

Some people can be just great criers... You were probably framed.

Inky Flame said...

(That's what I think

if I thought I kicked her then I would have apologised by now

I tried to slap her after she slapped me but she was too far away for me to reach)

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah, that was mean of her... Not fair either that she was the one to slap you and you still got in trouble.
*hugs again*

Inky Flame said...

(*hugs* oh well, im used to it

how art thou?)

Lavender Hope said...

I'm good. :)

A bit tired, but it's still pretty early for me. Not even nine PM yet.

Lavender Hope said...

Also slightly bored..

Trying to find stuff to read online, but nothing's really standing out.

Inky Flame said...

(its lunch time here ^>^ im waiting for my chips and popcorn chicken *stomach grumbles*)

Lavender Hope said...

Ooh, that sounds yummy.
*licks lips*

Dinner was fried fish for me. It was okay, but not a favorite.

Inky Flame said...

(I found this cute anime earlier!

This girl wants to confess her love for this guy in her class, although hes totally oblivious. she instead says that shes a fan, and he gives her an autograph. Turns out he creates romance manga although he hasn't experienced love XD)

Inky Flame said...

(yummy food ^^
I should cut down on chips )

Inky Flame said...

(the girl from the aniome is my profile picture ----->)

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

(*growls angrily* I'm meant to be going to dad's today and instead I'm stuck in my room with my little brother while my mum and step dad argue with each other!!!)

Inky Flame said...

(That sucks Jai *huggles*)

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

(*hugs back*)

Inky Flame said...

(*sighs* I don't get why adults feel it necessary to argue when there are kids present)

Lavender Hope said...

She's cute, Chloe. ^.^

*hugs Jai too*

Lavender Hope said...

My parents argued a lot...

I remember when I was really young, I actually tried to stop it by singing 'You'll be in My Heart'. Didn't work, and now the memory is kinda embarrassing... Hee. *blushes slightly*

Inky Flame said...

(awww Tam ^.^ that's adorables!

when my mum gets angry, she takes it out on anyone
when she takes it out on me I snap back

I can be quite...explosive)

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

(My parents just argue because they're childish.)

Inky Flame said...

(That is terrible Jai)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hi.

Inky Flame said...

(Hi Kassy)

Lavender Hope said...

It's usually my mom yelling at my dad though. Honestly, their personalities are really different. My dad's a bit weak, mentally, and my mom's really strong willed.

Though I can sort of see where my mom's coming from. My dad... Let's just say he's eccentric and kind of out of it at times. But he works hard when he means to, and he's always helping my grandpa with garden work and taking care of him.
*stops herself from saying any more, otherwise, she may keep talking*

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Kas.
*hugs*
How's your day going?

Inky Flame said...

(huggles everyone)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Hopey*

I feel bad.

How are you and Chloe?

Lavender Hope said...

We got a fly in our room...

It's annoyziggering.
*says this word sometimes, but seeing it typed for the first time is strange...*

Lavender Hope said...

I hope you can feel better soon.
*huggles with Chloe, group hugz!*

Other than the fly comment, I'm doing okay.

Inky Flame said...

(I is good
wassup kassy o?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Okay...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Nothing's up.

Just my head... it's heavier, there's dullness there, it's like pain, and I can't do anything to stop it.

It's making me upset and unhappy.

Inky Flame said...

(lay down then Kassy O O O O O )

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Can't. It's 1 in the afternoon.

Inky Flame said...

(so? )

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Well, my parents will have a go at me and I'll feel even shittier.

Inky Flame said...

(ah right
sorry *slinks away*)

Inky Flame said...

(I must go and change because im going over my grandparents

ta ta)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Bye, Chloe.

Lavender Hope said...

Bye Chloe.

Sorry, was reading..
*hugs Kas*
*can't think of anything to say*

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

(Okay. At dad's now.)
