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...

«Oldest ‹Older 3801 – 4000 of 4510 Newer› Newest»Liliana: Are you nearly finished, out of curiosity?
Bethany: *her cheeks go a little red* Sorry...
Lily: Not when I want to do it?
I do, Zaf, just not always regularly (sadly enough), and I watch the episodes after you because, y'know, I'm in Britain . . .
Onwa: *chuckles, finishing the last of her food*
I am. Are you wanting desert?
*frowns slightly*
You're sorry for being adorable?
Manuel: *sighs, closing his eyes a moment, thinking*
*nods*
Very well. I shall be in the home gym, unless you would like me to assist you in any way?
(Hello, Star.
Hello, Jaimie. *cuddles her tightly*)
Liliana: Mmm... *she thinks for a moment* What do they have?
Bethany: I'm not adorable...
Lily: *she shakes her head* No, I will be fine thank you.
(*cuddles Soph tightly back*)
Onwa: *shrugs, looking at the menu under'desert'*
Hopefully, cake..
*grins*
You so are..
Manuel: *nods*
In which case follow me to the kitchen please.
*walls to the kitchen, still holding the dishes*
Liliana: Will we both be having cake?
Claire: Yes, Bethany, you are.
Lily: *she takes the dishes from him, walking behind*
Onwa: We could both have a slice of cake?
*grins*
See. Even Claire agrees.
Manuel: *enters the kitchen, holding the door open for her*
...
Random comment to add to my earlier one about my creative swearing.
Flap jacks. I don't even know why. But I do say that sometimes.
*is gone again, because she had to leave in five(now two, oops for spending three minutes looking trying to see if flap jacks mean pancakes) minutes anyway*
(*cuddles Tamamai before she leaves*)
(*growls quietly at the sun because it's making my eyes water!!!*)
(*frowns at the fact that I can see my breath in the shade but can't wear my jumper in the sun..*)
(Apologies. I have to go now. Goodbye.)
(*hugs Soph tightly in a bear hug* bye..)
(*hugs Jaimie tightly back*)
Liliana: *she nods* Sure.
Bethany: But I'm not...
Lily: *she walks in, smiling* Thank you.
*tackles Star happily for when she gets on*
*has yo go*
-Zaf
(Hello, Zafira.)
Hey, Zaf and Soph.
(Hello, Tia.)
*had fallen asleep in her stomach and wakes up with her glasses digging into the side of the bridge of her nose*
*rubs the sore spot and winces*
That probably left a mark...
*checks a mirror*
Huh, not so noticeable, but hurts like OW.
Hi.
Omg falling asleep with glasses on is so cute! But so dangerous, you could've poked an eye out!!!! *hugs tightly*
Take them off next time, Hopey, okay?
... Okay. But uh, I don't usually 1, sleep on my stomach when I take naps and 2, take off my glasses either.
I do when it's night and I need to sleep sleep though. Also, I don't roll when I nap, but apparently, I roll a lot when I sleep so I think I'm okay.
Besides it was the first time this happened.
Seriously though, this can damage the glasses and yeah, it can poke your eye out. Please be careful.
*hugs tightly*
And... that thing you can't talk about... I won't judge you for it, if you tell. So... don't feel like you can't talk to anybody, because I'm here if you do want to talk.
*huggles*
You understand what loneliness is, don't you? *hugs tighter*
*hugs back*
I'll be careful next time.
... The only reason I haven't told you about it yet is because... I really /can't/. It's not that I don't want to. It's about my lifestyle, and it's something not many people will be able to understand... And... It's not really something I can talk about with just anyone... But I can't say anything to my aunt either or she may become upset. So... Well, I'm religious, so I pray about it. In a way, it's a talk with God so... I don't completely have no one to talk to...
*mumbles something quietly about how she'd only just realized this last night*
Yes... Being a foreigner in a country that doesn't speak your language is hard...
*whispers*
There are times I feel like there's no one who I can share everything with...
*clears her throat*
But as I said, I discovered that I can talk to God. He knows my struggles and I feel like he'd understand if I tell him everything. It helps...
It's okay, Hope. I understand.
It's just... I'm here for you either way. *hugs warmly*
*mumbles*
Sorry, double comment...
*sighs at the time*
I have to go again...
*hugs Kas*
I'm sorry...
Bye...
Bye, Hopey... *hugs gently*
O_O
When people mess up. And then become passive-aggressive towards everyone around them.
That's scary.
Have you seen this? This is disgusting...
Clicky
Onwa: *nods, calling WP over*
WP: How can I help you?
Onwa: We'd like to order desert.
You are.
*smiles gently at her*
Manuel: *nods, hovering uncertainly*
If you need anything..
Hey, Jaimie.
I'm feeling a lot better now. I'm okay, and I /will be/ okay. Again, don't worry if I don't come back. I didn't want to leave on that last comment of mine, so I'm putting this one up. You guys are awesome, okay? Take care and always look out for each other.
With this happier note, I'm off to bed. Good night from me, good day to you all who'll be on later.
*leaves hugs and her table of never ending (snack and tea) refills for everyone*
*places her Hatter hat on the plate where she usually sits, and smiles*
*disappears, her kind gentle smile the last to go*
Good night, Hope.
*hugs Hope*
I'm so nervous...
:/
I have the first half of my art exam on Friday and the second half on Wednesday so I need to spend pretty much every waking hour doing art, but I just found out my IT coursework's in on Wednesday and I have to do several hours of work for that, and unfortunately I'm really busy with non-school stuff this weekend, so just . . .
I'm dead. :P
Not nervous. Happy! *cuddles Hopeymoth*
*cuddles Star-Bubble* You'll make it work. Just stop procrastinating and delete Whatsapp and kill wifi. :)
(I have the first part of my first exam on Friday too Star.
I'm kinda worried now...everyone in the other class was great, only like 3 of them prompted. One girl prompted more than 3 times though so she'll loose marks...)
*cuddles Gemmy tightly*
Hey! :)
No procrastinating, okay?
@Kas: I am not going to delete Whatsapp. I would rather have my middle, ring or little finger surgically removed.
(And I am not exaggerating).
I'm also not procrastinating. My issue is, I might be able to work every free hour I have and not make it. Maybe I should start cutting down on sleep.
@Aria: :( :( Don't worry; you'll dpofine. :) :)
Why are Memrise getting me to remember the French for 'sloth' . . . ?
Ew sloth.
Have you clicked the link above?
And you're exaggerating, Star.
And idk, but less procrastinating during exam periods is generally a good idea.
No . . .
I'm not. There'd be anaesthetic, so it wouldn't hurt, and it would be done professionally ao I wouldn't die, and it's not like I use them for anything much. I mean, I might miss them like I'd miss my pencil case if I lost it, coz O get attached to my possessions, but I'd be fine.
My real life are pretty much my life. I regularly wonder how I would stand life if I were never to see them again. I realise I'll still see them if I delete Whatsapp, but I'm just trying to get across how much of a light to my life they are. Whereas my non-index fingers have very little worth to me.
*permanently delete Whatsapp and never get it back, I mean
*sighs* okay then.
*curls up*
*hugs Kas*
*hugs back*
I feel bad...
Why?
If you don't want to say, that's okay. :)
I don't know.
Bad and lonely...
*hugs gently*
hello there everybody :) *smirks* @kas: aww, don't feel that way, at least we're here to talk to you :)
@kas: *hugs you*
@Kas: :( *hugs&
@Fera hi.
*hugs them both*
*feels a bit ill*
*the heat isn't helping either*
@kas: hey *wink* *smirks* *don't feel ill :/ please *
I'll be okay...
@kas: Good *smirks* tell me if you want to talk about anything, ok? :) oh...btw how has your day been in general? :)
Day was okay. Yours?
Hey, Seirsha. Sierra Seirsha. *huggles*
(*Hugs Kassy* Don't feel lonely.)
@gem: hey there :)
@kas: yeah it was ok, had many free periods, so that was cool :p *smirks*
@savi: Hey savi :)
@sierra: Hey there *winks* *smirks*
Bonjour.
Sorry for disappearing, had to eat.
*pulls everyone into a hug* :)
(Hello.)
Liliana: We would like some cake.
Bethany: *she holds her close* Why do you think I'm adorable?
Lily: *she nods* I will shout you. *she smiles* Have a good time?
WP: *nods*
Of course, which type?
Because you are.
*smiles*
Manuel: *nods*
Thank you and.. um.. don't work too hard?
-Sigh-
(*hugs.. *thinks back to last time* ..basically tightly*
Hi kas..)
Gem? *hugs*
(Hello, Jaimie. *cuddles her tightly*)
Liliana: There are different types?
Bethany: I don't think so...
Lily: *she smiles* No promises.
(Hey...Kassy...)
(*frowns*
*sighs and cuddles Soph back*)
WP: ..Yes..
Onwa: Chocolate, please. A slice each.
I do.
Manuel: *smiles slightly*
What's wrong, Gemmy? You're not... close to death. Are you? :/ *hugs tightly* what's wrong?
(I just took a quiz, which designated me as an Owl, on the basis that "You are analytical and thoughtful. You prefer to work alone. In private life you are loyal and responsible".)
Liliana: Yes, some of that, please.
Claire: I do, too.
Bethany: But I'm really not...
Lily: I hope you enjoy yourself?
I'm a coral, Soph.
@gem: yeah, what's wrong? :)
@kas: *hugs you back*
btw....i miss chloe, where is she? :) *smirks*
(I believe sponges are better than corals, largely.
I also just took a "What weapon suits you" quiz. It seems I got the scythe, with the reasoning, "You are very much like the sword, you might have even been tied with it! But you still are very different in many ways. You have two completely different personalities, which no one wants to mess with. You can be protective of your loved ones, but not so much of your enemies. You hate them so much you could murder!(Which I wouldn't be surprised if you did!) You can be protective and very creative, and very violent too!")
@sophie: on the google earth day quiz, i am a giant octopus, who can achieve anything :D *smirks*
Gem? ... *hugs* .....
@sophie: squid, not octopus...well now *smirks* :D
@gem: *hugs*
@kas: *hugs*
(Fera, my name is Sophia, not Sophie.
There is a question I am somewhat... stuck on. "How would your friends describe you?"
A) Protective and true; You can take hits, and will always stand by your own opinions - as well as your friend's.
B) Someone to fall back on. You might seem distant, but you're a dependable person to rely on.
C) Quiet, decisive and reserved - You know everyone like the back of your hand, but no-one really knows you.
D) All-round - you're kind of good at everything, but not a professional at anything in particular.
E)Strong, mean and straight-to-the-point - You display your dominance, loud and proud!
To be honest, I have absolutely no idea how my friends would describe me out of that list.)
(Fera, on the Earth Day Quiz - I was given the Honey Badger.)
Sorry Kassy...Jaimie phoned...
Gemma... what's wrong? Are you okay? *hugs tightly*
I don't know...
*hugs tightly*
...
Why have you changed your name? :/
(hello)
Hey, Chloe... how are you?
(Exhausted
didn't sleep last night)
(you?)
Oh, you should probably sleep, Chloe.
I am... plenty of things, most of them negative.
(too early for bed
anyways, I have to speak to jack ^>^ and you and everyone else)
(*huggles* wanna test me?)
Test?
*text
damn)
I don't know...
(*huggles Gem*)
Not really. Sorry...
*hugs Chloe and Gem*
Gem.....
...
Is there anything we can do to make you feel better?
(*huggles everyone*)
*hugs Chloe*
...
(*listens to thrift shop*
*can sing most of the lyrics*)
@chloe: hey there, i missed you *smirks* :)
@gem: lighten up a bit, come one, please *hugs you*
(hey Fera ^^ thank you ^^ how art thou?)
(Sorry Soph, I was calling Gemma..
Also, either E or B :)
WP: *nods and walks off*
But you really are..
Manuel: *nods, bowing slightly*
Call if you require anything.
*turns and walks off to his room, changing into shorts before going to the home gym*
*hugs Seir* have fun...
(hey Sis!
star!)
(Also -
What animal are you test;
Owl
You are analytical and thoughtful. You prefer to work alone. In private life you are loyal and responsible.
Hmm.. I see Soph being an owl.. me less so..)
@chloe: hey, it's good, very good *smirks* why didn't you sleep last night? *smirks*
*JAI NOT STAR
I DIDNT SLEEP LAST NIGHT
(Uh..Hi Chloe?)
(I was worrying about my mock exams and life in general
but all sorted now
damn jack fell today in pe and is hurt
hes so clumsy XD)
@chloe: oh i see....if you'll let me give you an advice...don't stress on things ^_^ Just do them :) *smirks*
@chloe: it happens, doesn't necessarily mean he is clumsy :p
(sorry bach -_- how art thou?)
('Dagger
You are a very sweet person, you like to protect your friends and family. You like to be sweet and caring, but you have another side too. Because of your loyal ness, you have a tendency of over doing it when protecting your loved ones, but that could be good sometimes. You are the sweetest of people, unless whenever you are in a fight. You are not just sweet, but fierce, too! Rock on!')
(easier said than done
he always hurts himself in some way or another, but I love him all the same ^^)
(I'mmmmmmmmmm... fine. You?)
(hear hear Jai!)
(ready to collapse, jai)
(@Chloe go sleep now.)
(*blinks*
...
*blinks*)
(you aren't my mother *pokes out tongue*
im not ready yet)
(@Chloe *raises an eyebrow* get ready for sleep then sleep.)
(nope
im drawing little boy death)
(Chloe..)
(yes, MOM?)
Liliana: What types of cake are there?
Bethany: I don't understand why...
Lily: *she smiles, starting to get to work*
(Time skip, Jaimie?)
@chloe: yeah, i know it is easier to say...just follow my example. ^_^ *smiles*
(hehe okay ^^)
I feel nothing...
I feel empty, like an empty vessel with no purpose in life, no goals, it's just there...waiting for something to happen that won't...
(*rolls eyes* I'm too young to be your mum. Now sleep.)
Onwa: *shrugs*
Chocolate, cheese, sponge, cream..
You just are..
(Yes Soph.)
(*huggles Gem*
I wont sleep yet)
(*cuddles gemmy* go sleep...
Hmm..
Okay, slightly uhhhhh.. 'weird' question. If your 'true love'/'soul mate' etc had a terminal illness that was highly contagious what would you do?)
(Bad chloe.)
(im not a dog!
*mutters* and jack basically called me a parrot
I would kill them out of love)
@gem: come on, you don't have to have a goal to feel happy ^_^ and if you truly feel you do, just search for something you like and think of something you might want to do with it, and set that as a goal ^_^ that's what i've done *smirks* *hugs you*
@chloe: haha, i know that feeling, when you're tired but you just don't feel right to sleep yet :P *smirks*
@chloe: but...terminally ill people can survive and be happy :D
(*smiles gently* Oh Chloe, just go sleep.
*nods* Hmm.. I.. think I'd probably volunteer to be infected with the disease.. MAYBE let them experiment on me for potential cures but definitely spend as much time as I could with them..)
(can they? I thought that if you are terminally ill you cant survive)
(I wont
not yet
im drawing for Jack)
(Terminally ill means it will kill you eventually..)
(*rolls eyes* Fine then Chloe *smiles*)
@Gem well, you still have a whole life ahead to do whatever you want! *hugs*
("DEFINITION of 'Terminally Ill' A person who is sick and is diagnosed with a disease that will take their life. This person is usually told by doctors that they only have several months or years to live.")
(Jai, Chloe says for me to tell you not to call her a dog, she's a parrot
And I depart again, bye all)
Hi/bye Jack!
(Jack! stay!!!)
(*chuckles slightly* Hi/Bye Jacko.)
@chloe: you can :) my grandpa had a disease that was terminal and at the worst stages, he was sent to a section of the hospital, where they only send people who are almost completely sure to die and have terminal illnesses, and yet he survived ^_^ (his entire body went numb, his nervous system almost gave in the curtain)....and for example, stephen hawkings was supposed to die 50 years ago, yet he is still alive, and without him we probably wouldn't have had the concept of black holes any time soon ^_^
(that is a nice story ^^ and true)
(He does have a good point there..
But I'd still do as I said.)
(I would most likely want to catch said illness. It would help them to share the experience, as well as what you said, Jaimie. However, if the roles were reversed and if I was the one who was terminally ill, I would not want my partner to get the illness.)
Liliana: ... Cheese?
Bethany: ... Okay.
Lily: *she approaches Manuel a few hours later*
(@Soph Mmm.. interesting. I think I'd agree.. I wouldn't want my loved one to get ill, but if they were ill then I'd volunteer myself to be ill.. )
Onwa: *nods* Indeed.
*kisses her gently, smiling*
Manuel: *is still working out, a slight coating of sweat on him as he runs on the running machine having used the rest of his equipment already*
(Hey saoirse)
Hey, Seirsha.
(Sis!)
@chloe: :) He had the will to survive, because he wanted to see my sister at least one time after she was born ^_^
Meh.
What about you?
(@Saoirse fine. You?)
@seirsa: hey :) how are you? :) i am fine *smirks*
(aww that's amazing Fera!)
*Yawns*
...fine. I'll go to sleep.
I may just not have a lot of energy because of stress, lack of sleep and not having breakfast and lunch most days.
Night guys...
(*cuddles gemmy* night sis!)
Good night, Gem. *hugs warmly*
@sierra: *winks back* *smirks* i am very much glad to hear that :) did anything dun today? :)
@chloe: I know, he was amazing to survive and make a complete recovery :) I am very much glad i had been passed on those "strong will to live and make a change" genes :)
(Indeed, Jaimie.)
Liliana: That sounds disgusting.
Bethany: *she kisses her back* I love you, Silente.
Lily: *she hugs herself gently, whimpering a little* I... Think I've done?
(I will be back soon.)
(that is inspiring indeed ^^)
@gem: You should be as you were when i first met you ^_^ energetic and happy ^_^ don't focus on the bad stuff, just don't care about them ^_^ i know it's hard to do, but if you really want it, you can accomplish such a feat ^_^ *hugs tightly*
Onwa: *laughs slightly*
Perhaps.
*smiles*
I love you too, Mrs Bethany Tempest.
*grins*
Manuel: *looks up at her, quickly turning the machine down and then off*
Forgive me, I didn't hear you come in.
*smiles, grabbing a towel and patting his face gently with it before having a drink of water*
Shall we go buy some clothes for you now?
If I got hit by a car, was badly injured, or if I was terminally ill and was fighting for my life? I would give up. No point in someone who doesn't want to live taking up beds in the hospital and the chance of saving someone who does want to live...
*Nods grimly*
Night.
*leaves*
@gem: Hey now, you have so much to live for ^_^ you just don't recognize it :) *hugs tighter* goodnight, have nice dreams :)
@chloe: i am glad to have been an inspiration :) I strongly believe everyone has a purpose, if they want to have one :) I know my purpose in life, and i want to make everyone find it out :) *smirks*
(I know where my place is in love ^.^)
*life
(I've no idea what my purpose in life is..)
@chloe: I am glad to hear you have an aspiration :) I am very pleased indeed *smirks*
*hugs Gem* No...
@jai: it's okay, you're still young, you have a load of time to fins out :) you just have to look for it :) for a thing, a purpose you want to be done :)
(@Fera Mmm. Maybe I'll be the person to make consciousness transfers a thing.)
(I think I should be off now
nos da ^.^)
(Nos da Chloe!)
@jai: a very good and purposeful dream indeed ^_^ though...you need to do science for that, but you can do it if you want to :) *smiles*
Good night, Chloe...
(@Fera mmmm. Science. Yucky.)
*curls up*
@jai: haha, well i like science ^_^ science is love science is life :D :p
@kas: *covers you with bed sheets* there there ^_^ *smirks*
(I am back.)
Liliana: With actual cheese? In a cake?
Claire: I'm going to make myself some breakfast.
Lily: *she zones out for a moment whilst looking at him* ... I'm sorry, what did you say?
@sophia(see?i remember things :p): welcome back :)
Onwa: I think so?
Okay. Behave!
Manuel: *smiles gently*
I said perhaps we should buy you some clothes now. Are you quite alright? Did you work too hard..?
(Thank you, Ferra.)
Liliana: ... Just in an actual cake?
Claire: I'm making breakfast for god's sake, there's nothing I can do to misbehave.
Lily: I... Uh, no, I didn't... Sorry, I keep thinking about something else.
Onwa: Indeed.. rather strange.. Perhaps not then.
I disagree.
*cuddles against Beth*
Manuel: *raises both eyebrows slightly in question, but drops the topic*
Of course. If you will allow me a quick shower I can take you shopping after?
@sophia: :)
*hugs everyone*
Nope! It's cream cheese which is very different than real cheese.
Real cheese in cake.. Ew!!!
*hugs Fera and Duggy*
@dugglyn: I get nausea from eating cheese cakes...i think it's cuz the time when i moved to the UK, it was a new thing to me, and i liked it so much, i ate like 3-4 flat out in one go :D now i can only have a few slices without getting sick :D
@kas: *hugs back* goodnight everyone ^_^
...
That spot where I slept on my glasses is still sore... I'm really surprised there's no bruise.
Liliana: Mmm...
Bethany: *she holds her close, placing a hand on her leg*
Lily: ... Okay.
