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...

That's good. *smiles*

I'm actually practicing guitar right now, so.. I'll check back after I finish each song. Like now. :P

Lavender Hope said...

Let it go(:P), A Thousand Years(Christina Perri), a few Christian songs, Keep Holding On(Avril Lavigne), and just started learning some Taylor Swift songs. Mostly from her older albums.

And I'm Yours(Jason Miraz), but I can't play that one seriously enough. It makes me laugh too much. XP

Chione Asahina said...

(*Glares*
Jaimie looked up the right definition. Rose missed out the sexual part so that it would apply to me and everyone would agree.
You think having a lot of boyfriends is wrong? how many does it take to find the right person? usually a long time.
I'm going to take a break from relationships because I care about what people think of me...
The fact that Zafira turned her back without looking it up herself is rich cause I always try and defend her.

Rose, stop fighting John's battles for him. If this is how he feels he'll say it himself.
I cheated, yeah it was wrong and I've apologised for it. I'm trying to fix things but John doesn't want them to be fixed, so that's on him...
I was weak and after a 15 month long relationship, I wanted a physical connection because that was what I was used to.
I didn't want to hurt John and I couldn't break up with him...but I hurt him worse by cheating on him, even though he forgave me.)

(And the fact is, Rose, that I didn't go behind his back, because I told him. And he forgave me. Then I did break up with him to go out with Adam, but I waited a couple of days.

And "If John wasn't the right guy, then why did you stay with him?"
He wasn't. So I left. I shouldn't have cheated, but I stopped loving him so I would have left anyway. Or maybe I wouldn't have left him if Adam didn't turn up...since I got closer to Adam and drifted from John.

Anyway, I'm not a slut. Or a whore. I can take insults, as long as they're true. But when people like you spout bullshit like that, that's when I get angry.

Lavender Hope said...

stupid wifi.
*deleted comment was a double*

*hugs Aria*

*adds The Call(Regina Spektor) to the list of learned songs*

Lavender Hope said...

What the-
*stares at the third repeated comment before blinking slowly*

I blame my wifi.

Chione Asahina said...

(*Hugs Tamami*

"a woman with the morals of a man"
"Slut is a term applied to an individual who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous."

And what's wrong with being a slut anyway? is it bad to have many sexual partners?
What if the women was in lots of long relationships, would she still be viewed as a slut in a negative way?)

Chione Asahina said...

(Sorry for that Tamami. I had to get that out there and it just so happened to have been when you were on, I apologise.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

[Deletes comment]

[Deletes another comment]

*sighs*

Lavender Hope said...

It's okay. I realized that some people feel the need to defend themselves even if the other person is wrong about the insult.
(Not saying Danni/Zaf can't have the right to defend people if she wants, just the words used.)

*hugs Kas*
How are you?

Chione Asahina said...

(Hey Kas.
Thanks Tamami
I'll be distant, studying for school tomorrow. I think tomorrow is my biology prelim.)

Lavender Hope said...

*is finished practicing so will be more here*

*keeps additional thought to herself*

Lavender Hope said...

Good luck, Aria.
*hugs again*

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

Say what you want about me, but I don't care.

-Zaf

Lavender Hope said...

*resists the OCD-esque urge to sort her gummy bears into colors to see how many of each she has left*

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Zaf*
I hope you know I didn't mean what I said in a bad way. You're still my friend.

Lavender Hope said...

*also resists the urge to eat more gummy bears*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Hope, Gem, Zaf...

Hope, if you're bored, you could try that...

Lavender Hope said...

Nah, just slightly OCD. The only reason I'd do it is to match up one of each color into a group until I have an even amount, then eat the extra. XP

So... You feeling okay? Probably not the best question, but I asked how you were earlier and no comment..

Lavender Hope said...

*sighs*
Eating all these gummy bears made me lose my appetite for dinner...

Lavender Hope said...

*mumbles something else quietly*

*wishes time could slow down maybe just a bit so she doesn't have to leave...*

Lavender Hope said...

...

*waits for it...*

*repeats her wish*

Lavender Hope said...

*slightly altered*

Lavender Hope said...

*sighs again*
But this might just be one wish that can't come true...

Chione Asahina said...

(I won't want to say anything about you Zafira, and I didn't.
But what you said was wrong. She doesn't have a right to call me a slut or a whore or a skank, they all mean the same thing. And she took a single word out, the most important, to seem as if she was right and that she had the right to call me that. But she didn't.)

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry, I'm commenting too much...

*goes quiet and wonders who'll get first this time*

Chione Asahina said...

(You're not commenting too much, Tamami.)

Lavender Hope said...

I just meant at once. I usually try keeping it at five in a row max, but that time was six so...

*wonders*

Lavender Hope said...

Chione Asahina said...

(I thought of a dedication for the last page.
I dedicate to my sisters: Jaimie, Mithria and Seirsha.
I dedicate to my brother Kris.
My real brothers Josh and Jack.
My best friend, Adam

I also dedicate to forgiveness.)

Lavender Hope said...

Had to get a double comment then too..

I dedicate to Danni and Zaf. Even if you guys are hated on, just know that I won't hate you. I still think of you as friends.

And Gemma/Aria. Again, because you deserve it. *hugs*

And Kas. I hope you're feeling okay...

Lastly, I dedicate to the newbie, Fera. For some reason, my iPod wants to capitalize the whole name... Anyway, welcome(again) to Blogland.

Lavender Hope said...

Hear hear to you, Aria.
*smiles a bit*

Chione Asahina said...

(*Mumbles* I'm not hating on Zafira and I tried not to hate Danni. It didn't work.

Hear hear...)

Lavender Hope said...

I'm not saying specifically who's hating them, just if.

Or if they feel like everyone's against them, which does happen. It may not be true, but people feel things because their minds come up with the idea and won't let it go...

*lost the point of what she was saying*

Chione Asahina said...

(I know you weren't trying to say that, Tamami. It's fine.

An hour of studying done already. Woo)

Lavender Hope said...

*needs to get new headphones because hers are starting to break*

*sighs because she likes listening to music, but she has very little money for new 'phones*

Lavender Hope said...

Okay.

Good job, and again, good luck. *smiles*

Chione Asahina said...

(I love Biology and I love studying for it, so that's practically all I've been studying for. Although I have my Drama exam on Wednesday...
But I have my Biology prelim tomorrow. Ughhhhhhhhhhh.

One of my earphones is broken, it sucks...but they still work better than shitty poundland ones I bought.)

Lavender Hope said...

Just curious, what do you learn in Drama?

Aw, that does suck. :/

Chione Asahina said...

(There is practical and theory.
The theory is similar to English. In fact, it's probably more difficult.
Two critical essays, intro, 5 paragraphs and a conclusion Part A and Part B.
Part A is the characteristics of the character relating to the question e.g. Their values or strengths/weaknesses. Including a quote.
Part B of the paragraph is how we would play the character according to Voice and Movement. E.g. Pitch, stage proxemics (how close/far away everything is on the stage) body language, volume.
One paragraph, both A and B, is two marks. You do 5 of them for 20 marks.
So it's 20 marks for both essays, but we need to write a lot for marks...

Practical we have to learn lines for two contrasting pieces. I'm doing 'The Steamie' which is about old women in a washroom on new years eve, we're only doing two scenes from that and 'Chatroom' which is about teenagers on an online suicide chatroom which is 7 scenes long. Old vs young, that's our groups contrast.
We need to dress up, we need to use body language and stuff to portray our characters emotions and that's what we get marked on, how well we play the character. We also have to put on accents. Steamie is Glaswegian and Chatroom is American, we're all going for more southern American accents from Arizona.
If we forget our lines, we need to say "prompt" in our accent and in character. We only get 3 and if we reach 3, we fail.)

Lavender Hope said...

That actually sounds cool. Hard, really hard, but the practical definitely sounds cool. :)

Chione Asahina said...

(Yeah, the practical is fun. Really nervous though...
We didn't have a practical prelim for Drama, I wanted to do it so I knew how I was doing, with costumes and stuff...but everyone else told me to shut up :( So now it's basically just going in there with costumes for the first time and our lines...)

Lavender Hope said...

Even practicing by yourself is good. You can do it! *cheers* :)

Chione Asahina said...

(Yeah but there is 4 people in my group and we have to take cues off of other people. If other people fuck up their lines and jump some I could probably bring it back, but it fucks up the whole thing unless we can keep going from the line they give us. It's completely a team effort, so I can't really read my lines myself cause I need cues of when to say my lines. I need someone else to read in for me. My mum said she would do that with me today.)

Lavender Hope said...

*looks at the time*
*sighs*

*shifts uneasily, wondering what she should do*
*starts pacing, which is basically procrastinating*
*doesn't want to, but if what she was told is true, she needs to get ready for bed now*

*still doesn't want to...*

Lavender Hope said...

I get that it needs everyone's efforts, but just do your best. I'm sure with practice, you'll be ready for anything.
*hugs*

Lavender Hope said...

*sighs and has to go anyway*
I'll be back later. Maybe.

Garret Falcone said...

*hugs everyone*
*hugs everyone again*

So hi,

Good luck with your drama stuff Gemmy / Aria (do both can't be wrong :P)

And now
2 things

1: Whatcha think (honest opinions,
I only need and deal in honesty now) of my new pic?

Its me and my friends dog poppy
She's absolutely adorable and really cuddly (like me :D
J.k j.k ) (j.k =just kidding)

And now more honesty please
How true do you think this is?:
Ross:
Smart, intelligent, knows how to have a laugh.
Loved by many, some may think of him as a geek but he's nothing of the sort. *not putting the rest in because I don't want to*

I know these are probably badly timed questions and are probably hard to answer

But hey, my curiosity is lethal

So yeah

Honest only please

Thank you my amazing friends
No arguing
Because I'm damn straight with you

You're all amazingly awesome
And you can't change that

*bows, hugs everyone again*

*now sits quietly*
*may disappear soon?*

Garret Falcone said...

*oh yeah,
Forgot to add this too

I know I spelt Rhos differently in my question

That is because
The question is the English way of saying Ross

While mine is spelt the welsh way
And u.d doesn't have my name

So that's why my question contains the English version *

*hopefully that explains everything*

(and yes these questions are hard to answer
But that's how it works :D )

Chione Asahina said...

(Yeah Rhos, I think that's true. Apart from: I think you are a geek :P
And your profile picture is adorable. ^.^
*Hugs* How are you?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey... all hail 4G.

Chione Asahina said...

(Hey Kassy.
My phone is almost dead, so if I don't reply it's cause it's ran out of charge and I can't find the charger...)

Garret Falcone said...

Awwww thank you Gemmy *hugs back*
And I'm great thank you
Currently enjoying the sunlight and warmness

Yourself? )

Hey Kas *bro hugs*
Hows you?

And yes 4 G is dead handy (when you can get signal :P )

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey...

*is distant and mostly okay but he wasn't able to do what he wanted to do today and caused a mess and dies*

Chione Asahina said...

(I'm studying for my Biology prelim tomorrow and my Drama exam on Wednesday.
I also need to get my Advanced Higher Geography Study and Issue mostly done for tomorrow...I can't be bothered going out and doing my residential study... *sighs*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Gem* :/

Chione Asahina said...

(Ok, I've hit a major problem with my study. It was meant to be between two areas of paisley to compare the quality of life. But the 2011 census is only allowing me to select the whole town of Paisley... not the streets.
*dies a little inside*
I'm going to fail Advanced Higher Geography so badly...)

Lavender Hope said...

*snorts*
Get to bed early they said. Yeah right, like I can..

*sighs and shakes her head in a mock sad way*

@Rhos: 1, the dog's cute! Though the pic is a bit blurry. The posing is cute too. ;P 2, name be true. I agree with all that. Especially the knows how to have a laugh part.

And some more honesty? I kinda think of you as a bit of a geek, but in a good way. You can say some of the oddest, but pretty cool, things sometimes. :P

Lavender Hope said...

Well that sucks. Why would that have you choose two places when you can't? The whateveryoureworkingon thing is defective. You can't be blamed for that.

Chione Asahina said...

(I FOUND MY STREET! *does a happy dance* My god I'm not totally screwed afterall!)

Lavender Hope said...

YAY THAT'S DEFINITELY GOOD!!! :D

Lavender Hope said...

*mumbles*
Darn. Gotta go again.

Back in maybe half an hour.
*poofs*

Lavender Hope said...

Or twenty minutes. Here, but distant.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Hope*

I can't be here. But you should be sleeping. Good night, Hopeymoth. *hugs her warmly* :)

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs back*
Good luck with whatever you're doing... But...
*sighs*
Caaaaan't sleeeeeeeep yeeeeeeeeet...

Lavender Hope said...

(As in not tired...)

Chione Asahina said...

(I have no idea what street to compare to mine...the original one I was going to compare was Keiron's and I'm not going away over there...and I can't be bothered for a long walk so idk what street... would it be lazy if I compared mine and the one up from ours? xD)

Lavender Hope said...

*pokes Aria teasingly*
Probably, missy! If you want to do well, you gotta put in the effort!
*says the hypocrite who doesn't make any effort to do anything at all*
*mutters at Scarlet, will was the voice of that thought*

Lavender Hope said...

*who

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Hopey*

I'm lazy -_-

Hi.

I feel like starting an rp, introducing a character (not my character)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

But she's a bitch and will be hostile towards everybody... :/

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs back*
Hey. I might be game. Though I may use Scarlet. She's been wanting to have a chance to show more of her personality.

But as usual, I warn that I'm not that great, and I'll probably respond slowly so... Your choice.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Also, hey, Seirsha! *huggles* How are you?

Lavender Hope said...

Scarlet can be that way too.
*makes a teasing face at a glaring Scarlet*

Lavender Hope said...

Lavender Hope said...

Double, sorry.

Hi Seir. *waves*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

It's okay, Hopeymoth. *huggles* :)

...

*an alien spaceship with Prothean markings crashes through the atmosphere, splitting into pieces*

*the front part of the ship, the part where the bridge was, manages to clear the trees and crash-land at the edge of a clearing, while pieces of the rest of the ship land in the forest*

*fires and explosions accompany the falling rubble*

*a lone figure slowly walks away from the destroyed front of the ship, passing through the clearing and walking north*

Lavender Hope said...

Scarlet: *sees the explosion and runs toward the wreckage, wondering what the heck it was*

Lavender Hope said...

(May change accounts so Scarlet can be herself)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*a young, dark-haired woman wearing a dark coat and holding a grey metal staff is walking north*

*the staff isn't particularly heavy, but has a purple crystal on the top, with small metal spikes near it that point upwards*

Lavender Hope said...

(A description of Scarlet would be good about now. She has the image of a woman in her twenties(character wise; otherwise is 19 and looks like Lavender) with long red hair and hazel eyes. Wears black jeans and black and white striped shirt with a red leather jacket.)

Scarlet: *sees the woman walking away from the crash and slows down*
*notices her staff and approaches hesitantly*
Um, hello?

Inky Flame said...

(Yellow ^^)

Lavender Hope said...

(Hi Chloe! How are you?

I'm in one of the rare occasions that I role play. :P)

Inky Flame said...

(Prynhawn da! (good afternoon)

I am hot and bothered, had to walk to my brother's primary school to pick him up

and I have circuit training later -_-

how art thou?

and YAY!)

Lavender Hope said...

(Ignoring the fact that I'm going to get in trouble(indirectly) for staying up.

I don't know whether I don't care anymore or I'm just giving up on any hope of being able to sleep earlier.

... Among other things. And I think I got a bug bite on my nose... And it itches like crazy...)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Chloe!)

*turns around, gripping the staff with both hands and aiming it at Scarlet*

Who are you?

Chione Asahina said...

(So, Kassy. Basically this new character is Sophia?

I don't want to go out and do thisssssssssss. I hate advanced Higher Geography. I don't know where to do my study now...I don't want to go near Keiron's...I picked there because I went to Keiron's so often.)

Inky Flame said...

(Awwww hope the bite goes soon!

I have two bruises on each arm from Kung fu last nught)

Inky Flame said...

(Hey KAs! Hey Gem! How art both of you?)

Chione Asahina said...

(Hey Inky, I'm fine. Just stressing over my study for Geography and my prelim tomorrow and my exam on Wednesday. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Lavender Hope said...

(Ouch, sounds painful, Chloe.

@Aria: just go near the neighborhood, but not near his house? Or find another area close by that still works with your study.)

Scarlet: *stops and raises her hands to shoulder height, showing she's unarmed and doesn't mean to cause harm*
Whoa, easy there. I'm Scarlet. Scarlet Melody. And you are?

Inky Flame said...

(Good luck !
I have three mock exams this week
One biology
Two chemistry
Then I'm off to CERN next Monday to Wednesday
My first exam is on the eleventh of may )

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Gem!

No. For a start, she is not my character. She is 17, I think, and while she is powerful, that's due to raw power, not skill.

She is also not a soldier.

While she is technically alien, as she's from a different planet, her race is human. She comes from a planet with many life forms, some sentient, that are not found on Earth. She does not know what science fiction is, so she doesn't know what aliens are, and didn't know that the spaceship she was on was alien, and instead thought it belonged to one of the races on her planet.)

Garret Falcone said...

*not staying because I can't...
Damn phone battery... :/ *

*anyway.
Gem, why don't you find a different street?

So go for a walk, enjoy the sunlight and warmth and do your geography at the same time ?

And if needs be, compare yours to keirons,
I know you're reluctant to go there
But

Why not do it anyway regardless of him,

Because you need to do your work
Do you not (rhetorical)

So go there and boom
Work sorta done and you get a nice walk out of it too :D

Just an idea / food for thought

Or you could use Tamami's advice

Either would work *shrugs* )

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

(*laughs after the bombardment that is my over affectionate cat*
Oh! Guess what! Mum got rid of the kittens. And Zazzles. Yup. And. Zazzles. The kittens I knew about. Zazzles I did not.)

Inky Flame said...

(Hey Jai and Rhos!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

You don't know who I am?

What-

Where are we?

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

(Chloe! *cuddles* long time no speak!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Rhos and Jai.)

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

(Hi kas)

Lavender Hope said...

(*doesn't know who Zazzles is, but suspects it's a bad thing*
*offers a hug*

Bye, Rhos. *hugs*

Eleventh of May, huh? It would suck if one had to spend their birthday worrying over their first exam. ;P

The character sounds cool, Kas. :)

Only four of us turned up for psychology so it have me a chance to come home early

How art thou?

GUESS WHO IS OFF TO SWITZERLAND NEXT WEEK!)

Inky Flame said...

(By last exam is the second of June
Three days before my birthday XD)

Lavender Hope said...

Scarlet: Um... You're in Blogland. On, uh... *knows whatever crashed came from space, so figures this being isn't from-* Earth? And no, I don't know who you are. Care to tell me?

Lavender Hope said...

(SOUNDS COOL, CHLOE! And at least you finish your exam taking before then. :)

Inky Flame said...

(Aye ^.^
Omg I can't wait to see the hadron collider *fangirls over science*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*lowers the staff*

Terra Bloglandia? I have never heard of this place. And what is... Earth?

Oh, I'm... I'm Cyclonis.

Inky Flame said...

(I must be off now
Speak soon hopefully
God I have so much revision)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Bye, Chloe!)

Lavender Hope said...

Scarlet: *blinks at hearing the name* Cy...clon...is? That's a strange name if I've ever heard one, and I've heard a lot of strange names before.
*shakes her head as the rest of Cyclonis's words come to mind*
It's just Blogland. No Terra before it. And you've never heard of Earth before?

(Bye Chloe!

Sorry Kas, with wifi being weak and it getting late, I think I'm going to have to stop the role play and get some rest.

Wherever you got this character, she's pretty cool so far. I'd like to role play with her again sometime. If there /is/ time, considering...

Anyway, sorry. Night! *hugs*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Good night, Hopey!

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

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Sorry, I must go do things and whatnot.

And I'm not looking forward to when mother comes home.

And father has the day off work... :c

I just want to run away. Run far, far away.

Lily: Could we find them?

(B-back...I've done my survey...

I was out there for almost an hour!
Most people in my class didn't even go out!

(Hello, Ariadne.)

Chione Asahina said...

(I had to do a study for Advanced Higher Geography, I chose a Human study and went with comparing the quality of life of two areas of Paisley.
They're practically right next to each other and there is a huge difference of prices of house, amount of litter, size of houses and stuff. That's what I went out and found out about the area.

Hello, Sophia, Savannah.


I haven't ate since this morning so I'm very hungry, and tired and I haven't had a proper break from studying yet so I'm knackered and craving something unhealthy.)

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

(*groans quietly at having been woken from her slumber by food when she wasn't hungry*
*and at then not being thanked for doing a job she wasn't asked to do - again*
*and at the fact the step dad is here*
*tries to burrow into the covers*)


Onwa: Mmm.


*blinks*
Sure? I.. guess?
*kisses her gently*
Do it tonight. Snuggle now.


Manuel: *nods*
Of course.

(Aww Jaimie... *hugs gently as she's tired*)

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

(*leans against gem, mumbling I incoherently, yawning*
*hugs saoirse gently*)

Stop.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey...

*hugs Gem, Jai and Seir*)

Star Inkbright said...

Okay
several things.

First, about the word 'slut':

Elleni was correct in referencing it to the word 'nigger' - although it has a technical definition, and if you called a black person a nigger it would be factually accurate, to do so would be extremely socially frowned upon because of all the negative connotations adn cultural baggage connected with the word. Words are not the sum of their definitions; they're associated with entires histories and experiences.

The word 'slut' is generally used as an insult. Therefore, if you use it, it sounds derogatory, and that fact is irrelevant to whether the word is being used in a factually accurate way.

Also, everyone seems to be pointing out how Gemma is not a slut because she has multiple sexual partners. I would like to take this opportunity to give a nod to the polyamorous inidividuals out there and say how HAVING MULTIPLE SEXUAL PARTNERS IS NOT A BAD THING. WE JUST THINK IT IS BECAUSE OF THE CULUTURE WE LIVE IN.
However, having multiple sexual partners is only okay if all your sexual partners are alright with such an arrangement.
Cheating is never okay, because cheating, essentially, is a breaking of trust. Of course, some breakings of trust are more serious than others. The amount of hurt that comes from the breaking of a trust is more or less (coz social interactions don't work in black and white like maths) directly proportional to how much emotion was put into that trust that was broken in the first place (if that makes any sense . . . ?).
Relationships are built on a basisi of a few key elements, trust being one of them. Relationships are also pretty much entirely created of emotion (well, along with social & cultural stuff. Debatable whether that counts. Probably depends on your definition of 'relationship'). As such, if you break the trust in a major way in the relationship, that's quite a lot of hurt going to be caused there (assuming the other person in the relationship was properly emotionally invested in the relationship and not cheating too).

Yeah. So cheating is bad.

And we all know cheating is bad.

/Including/ Gemma.

And I think by this point, she's been guilt-tripped enough about it. Because if you think about it, she's been having people have a go at her for this for monoths now.

What is the point of havign a go at people? WHat is the point of punishment?
- To teach people what they did was wrong.
- To make sure they're unlikely to do it again.
- To get revenge.

The first one - Gemma knows cheating is wrong. She's not stupid, adn we've been telling her enough.
The second one - well, if all THIS shit happens whenever Gemma cheats on someone, she's unlikely to want to do it again.
(and if all this hasn't taught her yet, which I think it has but let's just say, then tbh, if she hasn't learn now then continuing in the same vein probably isn't going to do much).
The third one - well. I don't believe in revenge. I understand that hurting someone else helps you feel better, but I think it just causes more hurt. And furthermore, if you're hurting someone else just so you feel better, then you don't really have many grounds to have a go at Gemma.

By this point, I really think trying to move on would be good. You don't have to forgive, and you certainly don't have to forget (forgetting is generally counterproductive. You don't learn that way), but tbh, all it's doing now is just hurting everyone more, imo.

Okay. That was Thing One.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Star. John said that he's saying these things to hurt Gemma.

Anyways...

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

(*hugs Kas*)

James: *raises an eyebrow*
Hasn't done anything wrong? She's an assassin, a theif, a murderer, a torturer, a tormentor
*is stalking towards her with each word*
She is vile and evil and hideous and a nefariously good liar.

Thing 2.

"Love is when you only have eyes for one person. The person."

Disagree in so many ways.

There are many different types of love and they work in many different ways. I would argue that each individual person's love for another individual person's love is different.

First of all -
polyamorous people.

Second of all -
friendship.

I love my friends, and I love my family, and even though I love multiple people and am /in/ love with none of them, that doesn't make my love any less real, thank you.

Thing Three -

I understand Fera was only trying to have fun, but please try to undeesrand that for some people (ie. me), having people flirt with them makes them very uncomfortable and it really is not fun at all.
(I'm not even especially fond of flirting when it's directed at someone else, although I'm trying to program my brain away from that attitude as it's obviously not very benefical to anyone).

That might be all my Things. I'll have to check.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs back gently*

...

Star Inkbright said...

Ah yeah.

I think bullying is worse than cheating. When it's proper bullying, I mean. In the area where I live, it's common for teenagers to go "Omg you're bullying me!" when someone keeps stealing their rubber. When it's proper serious bullying, it's one of the worst things in the world.

Star Inkbright said...

*However, I think it's really very subjective and I don't mind if someone thinks cheating is worse

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

(Hi star.)


James: *twitches a smirk*
If you can't do it, then shoo. Be gone. I'll do it myself.

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

James: Oh. And a promise is a promise.
*with searing pain the choker/collar forms on her neck, fusing to her skin slightly*

Star Inkbright said...

Oh yeah.

I think there's an attitude that causing hurt is okay if you do it for a good reason. Like sticking up for a friend.
Danni posted a lovely thing the other day related to this, I believe. I can't remember exactly what she said off the top of our head, but she was asking us if we could please try and stick up for people without insulting the person we were arguing against. And I realise that's hard. That's damn hard. Not only because, hey, you're opposing this person, but also because, if you're sticking up for a friend, you tend to be very angry in defence of them and so you can get a little carried away with your typing. I often get quite carried away with my typing. :/
But I think it /would/ all be really nice if we tried to, y'know, argue reasonably (when arguing is necessary) without hating on each other.

I could have done better with that in these last few comments, actually . . . sorry. I'll try harder next time. And I know I keep saying that, but I really do keep trying. It just takes me a while. And it takes everyone else a while too. We're not perfect. And it would be nice if people could acknowledge that, too.

Yeah. I think I'm done. Maybe.

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

James: *smirks*
Because all girls deserve accessories.
*with the same searing sensation bands similar to the choker/collar form on each of her wrists, again slightly fused to the skin*
*teleports away*

Star Inkbright said...

@Savannah: I think it really depends on both the cheating and the bullying. If you have good supportive friends, then bullying is nowhere near as bad as if you have no one, for instance. And if you're really close to your partner and have been with them fifteen years, it'll probably hurt more than if you barely know them and have only been going out a few days.
But yeah. In my opinion, bullying is generally worse.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*drops down and hugs Savannah*

I heard... noises. Are you okay?

Star Inkbright said...

I think the skin above my eye might be infected.
I hope it's just me overreacting.

Star Inkbright said...

Also, wbd/msd. Need to do homework bleh.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

@Star :O

What's wrong, Savannah? *keeps hugging her*

Star Inkbright said...

Crap.
I think the skin above my eye might actually be infected.
Well then.
We'll see how this goes down.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*tries to pry them off*

*they won't budge*

I'm sorry...

Star Inkbright said...

@Savannah: APparently B has infected me with her anti-doctor disorder, because no thank you, I don't feel awfully like doing that. It'll probably be fine.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Sorry for the distance.)

Could I take you home?

Chione Asahina said...

(I agree with everything you just said, Star. ^.^

And is it just me that thinks Danni was hypocritical saying that we have to try and not hurt the person who hurt someone we care about? Since she goes too far and hurts me when she defends John.

I told her to take her own advice before dishing it out to other people, because most people here already do that, like Star and Jaimie, they don't take anyone's side, they just want people to stop fighting.
I may have been mean last night towards her, but that was after she called me a slut, so she was the one who blew it out of proportion.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Gemma: Yeah, but I was being hypocritical myself by seconding her. That's why I added the bit about how we're not perfect and we fail at doing stuff right sometimes.

Actually, I wouldn't say I /want/ people to stop fighting. It's the goal I have when I type, but just because I work towards it doesn't necessarily mean I want it. It's like how I do revision when I don't want to do revision - because doing revision is just the thing I should be doing.
I think.
Although I do generally want people to stop fighting as well, because people get hurt when there's fighting. I'm a very contradictory person.
But yeah. That was a tangent . . .

Also, I tend to take sides as well. I just tend to switch sides at a moment's notice, so my sides are more temporary shelters than permanent households.

But thank you. :) I was only correcting you because you portrayed me in a better light than I deserved to be in.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*sighs*

Mother got home.

Why is my skin so damn thick?

Star Inkbright said...

@Kas: ?
Surely that's a good thing, if it is?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

They're going to take my phone. If they do, you won't hear from me in a while.

They're calling me useless, you know? And I am useless.

Maybe that'll change.

Still, I'll be lonely.

Star Inkbright said...

You're not useless . . .

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Had to eat... back now.

Probably.

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

(Does anyone have ever get those 'healthy urges!' Where they want to go running, or stop eating sandwiches and crisps for dinner and eat carrots instead?)

Feraaaa32 said...

*sigh*, well that was a homework and a half...but i am finally done with it. *looks at comments* ahhh...will this topic ever stop? *shakes head* ....*smirks* well hello there, how is everyone doing, how was your day? *smirks again*

Star Inkbright said...

Maybe here. Maybe not. Weiting essay. Whatsapp. Stuff.

Star Inkbright said...

Omg
I've been really annoying B today, because I said I like writing essays and I don't always like Marvel and I eat kale, so she's been tellimg me I'm really near the edge. And she drew a diagram to show how near the edge I am.

@savannah: *smirks again* well, how has your day been?
@star: We are? but...*smirks* I AM BATMAN :D

Feraaaa32 said...

@savannah: I am very pleased to hear that *adjusts hair* *smirks* Did you do anything out of the ordinary, dear? *grins* *smiles*

Star Inkbright said...

Crap. I ranted about Heroes on a separate chat to not annoy her, but C told her ehat's what I was doing and B said 'why woukd you tell me that' and posted this.

SHIT

@Fera: No. I AM BATMAN!

@Savvanh: Yeah. But still. :P

Feraaaa32 said...

@savannah: aww, that is very sweet of you to say *smirks the smirkiest way possible* *blushes a little* I thought n one would miss me, thank you, dear *smiles*

Feraaaa32 said...

@stat: I know you are...but that would mean that i am superior to batman *puts on sunglasses* :p

Star Inkbright said...

Apparently when I fall off the edge I get very severe imminent revenge, and soon.
Shit.

Feraaaa32 said...

@savannah: :) by the by...do you like EDM, savi(if i can call you that? :P)? :p

Star Inkbright said...

@Fera: Why would it?

Feraaaa32 said...

@star: because, no one FINDS out batman's real identity, only if he gives it away...but i did, that owuld mean i am a better detective *puts on sunglasses, while explosions going off in the background, and the song "YEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!" comes on* :p

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

(*yawns, snuggling deeper into the blankets* ugh.. I should be doing revision for physics..or at the very least I should turn the light on.. but damn I'm just so comfy and warm..)

Feraaaa32 said...

@savannah: Good good *smirks* well ok then safi :p listen to this, if you want to :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XJz9mi8Kqo

Feraaaa32 said...

@jai: Is it for GCSE? :p

Star Inkbright said...

@Savannah: Meh. It's part of the general tone of this friendship group. C sometimes teases B to the point where it upsets her, and B carries out revwnge on people when they annoy her. Or D bops C on the head with her folder so C pushes her and then they argue over who is bullying who. It works out quite well.
I'm just not normally involved in this constant picking on each other, because I don't pick on people.
I just made the mistake of saying I eat kale and talking about schoolwork today.

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

(@Fera it's for a GCSE mock. I can't be bothereddddddddd. Fanfic is just too appealing. As is sleep.)

Feraaaa32 said...

@Safi:ok...let's RP if you want to :p oh...have you heard of the dancing style called "animation", "popping" or as some might like to call it...dubstep dance? XD :P

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: Mocks are only mocks, anyhow.
Try listening to music whilst doing it. It keeps me focused . . .

Feraaaa32 said...

@jai: :D GCSE mock is easy, all you would have to do is look in the book for 20 minutes and i think you would get at least a C :D I'd taken A level maths, physics, bio, and....maths...i mean, do you like maths? :P

Feraaaa32 said...

@jai: oh and chemistry :D

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

(@Star Mmm. Having my actual revision guide out might help too.. *groans and flops* ahh screw it. I heard R9KElsa is suffering is good..)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Star, if you don't mind my asking, how is Hunter?

Feraaaa32 said...

@Savi: what is ? XD *grins* :) oh... and you haven't answered the question about the dancing styles :P

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

(Chemistry is great! I'm ace at Chem! Maths.. eh. I'm good at it but I have a love/hate relationship with it. I HATE maths but I love being good at it )

Feraaaa32 said...

@savi: sorry, didn't see your comment in time :p I am practicing those kind of styles...i LOVE popping and animation XD *grins* oh yeah, let's RP *smirks*

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

(Hello.


I believe arguments should only be initiated when there is something to gain - whether it be making someone feel better, stopping someone doing something bad, helping someone who is having trouble defending themselves, et cetera. The current situation fulfils none of those.)

Liliana: You are.

Bethany: *she kisses her back* Yes, snuggle now.

Lily: I will do some cleaning first. *she smiles*

Feraaaa32 said...

@Jai: Chemistry is good at gcse...at A-level it gets horrid, as every other academic subject i took, but chemistry especially gets grim :p

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

(OMFG ITS 9?!?!)


Onwa: *smiles* I wish.


*grins, snuggling closer, sighing happily*

@Alastair: Ah. That was the other thing I forgot.
Fine, as far as I'm aware.
You're correct; I haven't mentioned him in ages.

@Jai: CGP. CGP revision guides are life.

@Fera: Nope. But I don't mind.
