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...

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*
(*watches Deathy leave*)
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.
(*nods at star*)
(*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!)
(*mutters* and when I have no clean clothes.)
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.
(Hi Tamami)
(Oh rats..)
Oops. Sorry, Jai. ^^'
This is Belle---->>
She was licking my fingers.
(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.)
(Aww :)
Hear hear!
*hugs*
:)
(*hugs back*
*nudges* you scared me when you went missing.)
(Actually that's why I started talking about you when the shadow was around xD)
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.
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...
(Sorry, was eating.
*cuddles* it's fine. Twonk. *flicks your nose gently* Meanie. :)
*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*
*hugs Jai tightly*
(*smiles*
Aww. Why'd they have to go in a cage?)
(*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*)
@Jai: :( :(
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*
(Ah okay Tam. Makes sense.)
*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*
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*
(*hugs back*)
(I wish my sister didn't live at dad's house.)
(Then I could live there.)
(hello ^.^)
(damn
there's no one here )
(*sighs* arguing parents.. Yey..)
(*huggles Jai* hey bach
it isn't fun, I know)
(*hugs Chloe back*)
(*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)
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
(hehe
hello Tamami ^.^)
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.
*waves with a smile*
(*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...)
*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.
(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)
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*
(*hugs* oh well, im used to it
how art thou?)
I'm good. :)
A bit tired, but it's still pretty early for me. Not even nine PM yet.
Also slightly bored..
Trying to find stuff to read online, but nothing's really standing out.
(its lunch time here ^>^ im waiting for my chips and popcorn chicken *stomach grumbles*)
Ooh, that sounds yummy.
*licks lips*
Dinner was fried fish for me. It was okay, but not a favorite.
(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)
(yummy food ^^
I should cut down on chips )
(the girl from the aniome is my profile picture ----->)
(*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!!!)
(That sucks Jai *huggles*)
(*hugs back*)
(*sighs* I don't get why adults feel it necessary to argue when there are kids present)
She's cute, Chloe. ^.^
*hugs Jai too*
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*
(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)
(My parents just argue because they're childish.)
(That is terrible Jai)
Hi.
(Hi Kassy)
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*
Hi Kas.
*hugs*
How's your day going?
(huggles everyone)
*hugs Hopey*
I feel bad.
How are you and Chloe?
We got a fly in our room...
It's annoyziggering.
*says this word sometimes, but seeing it typed for the first time is strange...*
I hope you can feel better soon.
*huggles with Chloe, group hugz!*
Other than the fly comment, I'm doing okay.
(I is good
wassup kassy o?)
Okay...
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.
(lay down then Kassy O O O O O )
Can't. It's 1 in the afternoon.
(so? )
Well, my parents will have a go at me and I'll feel even shittier.
(ah right
sorry *slinks away*)
(I must go and change because im going over my grandparents
ta ta)
Bye, Chloe.
Bye Chloe.
Sorry, was reading..
*hugs Kas*
*can't think of anything to say*
(Okay. At dad's now.)
Sorry for ruining the mood, Tamami.
Hope you enjoy your stay, Jaimie.
Not your fault, Kas.
*hugs again*
*is in a hugging mood today*
That's good, Jai.
*huggles* :/
I'm glad that I don't come here often anymore.
I've missed you though, Alastair. You and your author...
*wishes to hug them both, if she could*
(*nods* We miss you alastair. Also, thank you for the wedding gift.)
(I am finally here.
Star - I am not saying that every film should be all happy, but torture is never alright. Killing can be justifiable and necessary, but never torture. And it is definitely not alright to watch torture for entertainment.
Perhaps I am somewhat sensitive to the subject, as I have seen and had to deal with torture victims in the past, as well as nearly being tortured myself. I just disagree with it on a moral level.)
Liliana: Mmm... Then that we shall do.
Bethany: We can go back tomorrow... But not overnight. Think of all the creatures...
Lily: *she moves, sitting on the floor beside him* Thank you.
I never did explain what it was, did I? It would be an oil painted portrait of Silente and Bethany at the altar.
I would be hard pressed to believe that anyone here misses me, but I'm sure I appreciate the sentiment, anyway.
Welcome back, Soph.
We haven't talked much, Al, but I'm being sincere when I say that yes, I really did miss you.
(Hello, Alastair. That is a very nice gift.)
(Hello, Tamami.)
*huge everyone*
Of /course/ I miss you, Alastair.
...
And Aretha... If she could come on when you don't want to...
But maybe I'm hoping for too much..
I'm glad to see you though. To know you still come around sometimes.
How've you been?
@Sophia: I don't believe torture is ever alright, but I think art should be allowed to include things that aren't alright.
*hugs Star back*
Hey, you. How's your day going?
(That film is not a piece of art, Star. It is more similar to finding a corpse sliced into pieces - disgusting and cruel. And whilst there may be some creativity, it does not change the fact it is vile and unnecessary.)
:) Pretty well, thanks, Lav. I'm basically going to do artwork all weekend to catch up before my exam on Friday, so I've basically been doing that since I woke up and will till I go to sleep, but I have music to get me through it so it's okay. :)
You?
Hello, Alastair and Sophia.
@Sophia censorship should not be a thing. Wanting to ban a film because it has torture is selfish.
*Tam
I'm awful with names - it might take me a while. :P
@Sophia: Maybe it is. But if some people like it, is that a reason to ban it? It's not hurting anyone.
Uh, Kas, watching a film just to entertain yourself is selfish.
I believe everyone is inherently selfish, regardless.
Good luck with it. :)
I'm okay.. Slightly bored and my mind's bringing up thoughts I'd rather deal with... Never, plus mood swings, and the odd cheery randomness that doesn't help, but I think I'm okay.
*looks at what she typed*
Yeah, no. I can't seem to make up my mind.
(Sorry I was eating. And ranting at dad. Did you know Connor, my 10 year old brother, now blames himself for Adam's (stepdad's) life being terrible.
@Alastair Thank you for the girl. It is very much appreciated. I won't hug you, but I will thank you.)
Onwa: *smiles*
Good.
Okay. Good point. *kisses her gently, heading for the bedroom*
Manuel: What ever for?
Damn, Alastair, I miss you too.
I know I usually don't see eye to eye with you (*coughcoughAlexisasadollcoughcough*) still, you should come around more often.
-Zaf
*good luck with artwork and exam
It's okay that you still call me Lav. I kinda get that you're used to it. Take as much time as you need to get used to my new name.
@Jai: .-. I can see why you're ranting. -_- *hugs*
@Star what is more selfish, watching a film, or watching a film and deciding that no-one else should be allowed to see it and banning it?
*hugs Zaffy*
@Al: ditto what she said about coming around more often.
(Not when it is for the protection of others, Tia. Then it is definitely not.
Star - I disagree. Alike to what I was saying about the Fifty Shades of Grey, it is impossible to make sure that those who watch the DVDs are a suitable age.)
*hugs Jai as well*
*mumbles*
Wbd
Furthermore, banning a film will mean that the person who made the film is unable to express themselves properly. And nobody is forcing you to watch the film. And it isn't hurting anybody in its target audience.
(*hugs star back* I swear I've had it. I can't watch them ruin Connors life like they have nearly done mine. I won't have him blaming himself for sh*t he hasn't done. Me, sure. I'm used to it. He'sten years old he shouldn't be blaming himself! They complain about their childhoods being sh*t but they're ruining Connors!!!)
(*hugs tamami back*)
Liliana: I have not danced in a while.
Bethany: *she kisses her back, following her*
Lily: For everything. *she smiles*
@Tamami: Thank you. :) I might need said time. D:
Onwa: Then I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself..
*grins*
*smiles, entering their bedroom*
Manuel: You are welcome..
*eats*
You're welcome, Star.
*smiles a bit*
And if I had to say anything about the 'ban a film' argument using my three selves, it would be something like this:
Scarlet is annoyed that you guys haven't dropped the subject yet. Lavender wishes that the argument in general would end, and I'm just slightly amused that it's still going. How long's it been? Two days? A day and a half?
@Kas: If we ignore my everything-is-selfish argumemt, then Sophia has a point.
By watchung a film just to entertain yourself, you are not even trying to help anyone.
@Sophia: Well, this qnother reason why we need a better parenting system. If parents were responsible, there wouldn't be that issue. Neither would there be as many issues with kids shootimg themselves.
And it would also solve other things.
@Jai: :( :( *hugs* I'm sorry . . .
@Tamami: Ah. See. As far as I can tell, it's a remote argument as opposed to a personal one, so I'm less inclined to drop it. :P
(*hugs star back again*
*sighs*
Maybe I can get emancipated and get custody of Connor..
OMG DAD BOUGHT ME FERRERO ROCHES!!!)
Thaaanks for le hug!
Zaffy hasn't been doing okay feels wise since yesterday.-Zaf
Fair enough, Star, but it's just going in circles now.
In my honest opinion. The points are just being repeated at this stage.
@Jai: Try doing that. :/
@Zaf: :(
(@Star I get the feeling mum would kill me if I did.
*sighs*
If social services come round again.. I'll consider it.. although I'm kinda young to look after Connor..)
@Lav: Mmh, maybe.
(Even if I do wind up doing it half the time..)
I'm sorry about that, Jai. *hugs gently*
@Soph but that's highly subjective. You shouldn't have the right to tell other people what is and isn't okay to watch, because people can make that decision themselves.
@Jai: Yeah. Would be a bit of a nightmare for you.
(Tia - It may cause people in the target audience to hurt other people, and it will harm people not in their target audience who are also exposed.
Star - Yes. It could also operate on a "scan a birth certificate" system to ensure that there is at least one adult present, as well as plenty of warnings not to show it to children before the film would have even begun.)
Liliana: Mmm... So am I.
Bethany: *she sits on the bed* I love you.
Lily: I really mean it.
(I will be back soon.)
@Kas: Unless they're children. But yeah. I agree.
(*hugs Tia back*
@Star yeah. And it'd ruin all prospects of uni for me.)
Onwa: *smiles*
Dancing is fun.
I love you too.
*smiles, laying beside her*
Manuel: And youre welcome.
You're welcome, Zaf. Here's another one!
*hugs again*
*doesn't quite know what ferrero roches are, but they sound good*
*mumbles*
@Sophia: I don't believe films like that cause people to hurt people.
I will agree that it probably influences them, but I don't think it's to the extent that they would torture unless they had somethimg wrong with them anyway.
(The exception, again, being children).
@Sophia: I know a girl whose mum always used to insist she had ro watch 18s with her when she was too young, even when she (the girl) protested against it because she knew she'd be scared.
I don't think warnings would do much in most cases.
(Also, I don't think films should be rated eighteen. I think they should be age rated up to a certain age, and then should be rated using other meand.
@Jai: Ouch. Maybe not.
And how many people do you know who hurt other people after watching the film, and how was it the film's fault?
(@Tamami Ferrero Rocher is a hazelnut, surrounded by chocolate spread type stuff, with a wafer type shell coated in chocolate and small nut parts.
"You know how I feel about the mumbling.")
(@Star yeah. Maybe not..
But then again, am I going to want to move away when my brother is in that environment? I mean..
*groans and sighs*)
*bites lip to stop from joining the age rate thing*
*mumbles*
I'm going to be... Distant.
Bye, Hopey... *hugs*
*mumbles about something or other*
*looks out the darkened window and starts to cry*
*again*
*her day has actually been shit*
*goes to try and get some sleep... though she'll just probably sit somewhere and cry again*
*goes now*
@Jai: . . .
Okay, so I'm going to go to uni in three years, so I'll be nineteen. Nineteen minus five equals fourteen.
Take a gap year?
(*hugs Danni* night..)
*hugs Death tightly*
And it seems like wifi chose that moment to go bezerk.
FERRERO ROCHERS SOUND AMAZING. O.O
The mumbling was nothing. Not really. Just me not really forming any coherent thoughts to speak loud enough to hear. Really, all it is is just mumbles. To myself kinda. I'm confused now. Never mind, I don't know what I'm talking about.
*hugs Danni* Good night.
Rose...
(@Star maybe.. I could possibly do that. Finish high school age 16 going 17 (Connor 11 going 12).. Collage age 18 going 19 (Connor 13 going 14).. take a gap year so 19 going 20.. (Connor 14 going 15).. hmm..)
(Ferrerro Rocher's ARE AMAZING =D I love them soooooooo much!)
*hugs Danni*
*realizes officially that Star is three/two and a half years younger than me*
I mean, I guessed and figured, and you did say you were sixteen, but... Wow.
You're now my age when I first found the blog...
Time flies so fast...
*hugs Tamami*
@Jai: By then he'd be your age. Also, by then you could speak to him about it.
(@Star maybe..)
@Lav: I know. O_O You seemed so oldddddd and now I'm olddddddd.
*hugs back*
Yeah.. But I'll still be older than you. ;P
But guess what? You're actually one blog month older than me.
My fried eggs are pissed with me. They don't want to fry.
I'm sorry eggs but this human is hungry.
-Zaf
Dang wifi troubles.
*laughs at Zaf's egg comment*
Good luck getting them to cooperate!
My head, my brain
Why
It's hurting
And making me feel bad
:c
*both deleted comments were her double ones*
*hugs Kas*
*sighs*
I'm going to go quiet now and just watch. Sorry for bothering you.
*hugs Hope*
You don't bother us, Kas . . . :(
DAMMIT EGGS!
@Tamami: :) :)
Me too, me thinks.. If that's possible. Because I talk more than I want to sometimes..
*is tired and hungry, but too late to eat and brain is too restless to sleep*
*smiles softly at Star in return*
:) It's okay, Tamami. I like your talking. :)
*just realized the time*
Oh dang, I really need to try sleeping now...
Getting late.
*hugs everyone*
Have a good (ending to your) day guys. Good night from me.
Ohmygosh my friends say it feels so weird to see my swear. :P
*swears a bit more in typing than in real life*
:( Fours, Tamami.
Good night, Tami.
You guys are all old! Except Seir but she's kinda old! :P
*leaves hugs*
*points to pretty humming bird we saw on canopy tour* >>>> (the picture was taken through a telescope lense)
Hey, Dugglyn. Cool.
:P
*hugs Dugglyn*
('Describe the structure if DNA, including the roles of the scientist involved in its discovery.'
...
Uhhhhhh..
Watsin ans Crick where competing in the Human Genome Project in 1951. They knew that DNA was made up of different four different bases however they didn't know the shape of DNA. Rislin Franklins took pictures of DNA using x-ray crystalogrify to catch vague images of its structure. Morris Wilkins then took one of these images and showed it to Watsin and Crick who then used them, along with their current knowledge of DNA to determine that DNA forms a double helix with each base linked with hydrogen bonds.
Song good? Sound worthy of 6 marks?)
They finally did! And were tasty!
-Zaf
I took Bio last year but that seems accurate enough. -Zaf
(Okay. Thanks Zaf :)
@Jai idk. :/
@Zaf Just remembered - last time I was in Subway, they had promotional stuff up for Avengers. One of the characters was Loki. Now, they might have just gotten the stuff left over from the first film out, or maybe Loki is in the upcoming film.
@Jai: Yup. :)
Awwww your six-marker sounds so normal. When I read back over mine I usually seem to find I've phrased things in Star-like ways. It amuses me. :P
@Zaf: Yaaay! :)
Yup.
*smirks* My parents are in on collecting paper towel or toilet paper rolls for the gerbils.
Whenever they finish one, they leave it so when I go into the bathroom or kitchen I find an empty one to take down to the little guys.
This morning the little guys kept banging on the wheel and when I woke I got them their seed, they went back to bed! I'm so confused, I guess they wanted a seed.
-Zaf
:)
Gerbils are funny
Gerbils :)
*cant sleep*
*doesnt really want to, either*
*why can i be like her?*
*why cant i be pretty?*
*there is no reason he should love me, but he does*
*just doesnt got it*
*tries to sleep again*
*get it
*now leaves*
*get it
*now leaves*
(We might be getting a family pet.)
You are beautiful, Danni.
Hello, Seir.
(Hi.)
How are you doing today?
(Fine I guess.)
*hugs Death* Beauty is intirely subjective.
And I would like to share with you Four's response to Tris telling him she's not pretty - "You're not pretty. So?"
@Savannah: Ooh yay.
I'm assuming it's a yay.
(It's not a yay Star but thanks.)
They is!
Well that was entertaining, I tried prom dresses on.
I have heels for them and now it's the dress part.
Bloody fuck I can't believe I own a pair of heels.
-Zaf
(Mum: Go play with your brother.
Me: *sighs*
Bye.)
What kind of pet? Dog? Cat?
Take care, Seirsha.
@Saoirse: Oh. :( No, it wouldn't be for me, either.
@Zaf: I'm not going to my prom. :P Have fun at yours, though!
It's not even my prom! I'm a year under, but you can go if you're invited by a senior.
-Zaf
@Zaf: Lol. :P Well, have fun regardless. :)
