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 4601 – 4768 of 4768@Star: Yes, it does mean that. One of the symptoms of schizophrenia, is that you hallucinate voices, and also that you're discussing topics with yourself, but not as if you were to acknowledge that you're the same person :p :)well, i would have to agree with you on that, weirdness is cool ^_^
@chloe: :)
@jai: Don't stress about it, just pick a few that you think are going to be useful :)
(*points upward* my name is chloe
not gem)
@Jai: XD XD
Ohmygosh they actually haev something like that in the Stormlight Archive.
If you put sand on a plate and then run a violin string (or soemtghing. Can't remember) over the plate so it vibrates, then, depending on how you ran the string over the plate, one of the formations of the cities of the world will form.
(I think that's because the cities were built from existing rock structures, and the structures form in those areas due to the land vibrating or whatever. Something. There will be a scientific explanation - Brandon Sanderson treats magic like science.)
@Fera: Um . . . I think you have to fit multiple symptoms. And there's probably other disorders out there characterised by hallucinations.
He might well have it slightly, though.
Weirdness IS cool. :)
@chloe: who told you, you were gem? XD
(*goes off to the corner to quietly hate life and cry over my future*)
*the 'slightly' because you originally mentioned he was 'slightly schizophrenic' - it's not because I was doubting you
Hey, Chloe and Jai.
@Star Prom sounds fun. Doesn't mean it is fun.
@Jai: :( :( *hugs*
@star: whatever it is, still hallucinating is not a comforting feeling ^_^ *smirks* yeah IT is :p
@Kas: :) Thank you.
@star: it's ok, i didn't think the wrong way about it for a second :)
@Fera: Yeah. :/ I agree with you there.
And - :P Yep.
(*huggles Jai* there there
pathetic fallacy,when your mood is like the weather, is it raining where you are Jai?
you replied in response to my question Fera)
@Fera: :) Good. Just - you might have done, but I didn't realise that until I hit publish. :P
@jai: It's ok, you'll get through picking what's good for you :) *grins*
(hey Kaster!)
*hugs Jai*
Uh... pick something that you like doing, as this will help you get a qualification for a job that you're likely to enjoy doing.
This is my only advice, I've got no more...
*hugs again*
@chloe: Oh no, I am really sorry about that, what a silly mistake, i didn't mean it...is there chance of forgiving me? :) *smirks*
(I forgive everyone, even those who treat me like rubbish
I am such a pushover XD)
(*looks out the window*
No. It's sunny.
Huh.. I didn't notice that..
In frozen the guy from oaken sauna says his family is in the sauna right? The only adult in the sauna is another man. *smiles* No wife.)
@chloe: If you mean "sweet" by pushover, than yes :) *smirks* And thank you ^_^
()awwww I didn't notice that )
(*tilts head* I am by no means sweet
flattery gets you no where
tis okay)
@Jai poor man had his family eaten by a stranger.
@chloe: What do you mean it gets me nowhere? :) It gets me to think of myself as a polite person, and try to make people feel better :) ^_^
@Kas: *hugs*
*hugs Star-Bubble*
(thank you, but I mean it, I am not a sweet person
I can be quite nasty and blunt)
(People can be sweet AND nasty and blunt . . .)
@chloe: Everyone can be, darling ^_^ Shouldn't focus on your mistakes, but rather what you try to be, even if you have good intentions at all times not everything can go the way you want it to :) *smirks*
(can they?
still... im not sweet)
(Please don't call me that )
@chloe: oh yes, most people can be such assholes ^_^ but that doesn't mean that they ARE in actuality assholes :) Let the people who are around you decide that, shall we? ^_^
The Survivor 2299 why??????? :c
(but you guys don't see what im like all the time)
@chloe: Maybe not. That does not mean we can not see you as sweet :) look...everyone has flaws and everyone makes mistakes ^_^ *smirks*
(but what if I wanted to act like someone else from behind the screen?
I may be the biggest bitch in college for all you knw)
@Inky: I don't tend to dislike bitches.

(well the girls in my year...real nasty thjough
I just...cant deal with them)
@Jai clickbait + bullshit = magic
@chloe: those that see themselves as biggest bitches, are actually not :)It's human psychology...those who can judge themselves can not be too bad by nature to begin with :) *smirks*
(whats that jai?)
(is that so?)
(@Kas Mmm..

@Jai look, there's bullshit, and then there's bullshit.
*hugs Gemmy*
@chloe: Yes, that is so, and don't be too judgmental about yourself, i mean everyone has to look in the mirror now and then, but don't think bad stuff about yourself unless you actually are doing lots of bad things intentionally daily..be neutral about yourself, don't be biased :) *smirks*
@Fera: Not necessarily true. In my experience, it's the opposite. If ysomething, you end up acting like you are it (this is actually true . . . for soem people at least).
(*facepalm* well.. THAT could be why.. I didn't look at my mums scales properly..)
(I do bad things
I talk about people constantly *mutters* even if they deserve it)
@star: I did not understand that? :p *smirks*
@chloe: Everyone talks about people. Behind their backs as well. Might not admit it after, but they do.

@Fera where do you live?
(*looks innocent*)
(*glares more*
*shoots her with an F-ing shrink ray*
*squashes her grumpily, grinding her under my shoe*)
@Jai you have a future.
(*lifts jai's shoe up with werewolf strength*)

@chloe: :)
@kas: In middle-northern ares of englands...where do you live? :)

(coolio ^^)

-Zaf
(HeWwo zaffy

-Zaf
(Well that's better than bad ^.^ )
(Hello.)
Liliana: Mmm...
Bethany: I love you, too. Could we...?
Claire: *she holds on to him*
Lily: *she smiles, cuddling against him*
(Yellow Soph! How art thou? How art dragon?)
Yeah true. I'm more or less sleepy but I have iced coffee so I'm not too upset.
-Zaf
@chloe: Everyone has off days ^_^ I try my best to stay strong, but sometimes, the strings break for everyone ^_^ But then I just shrug it off in a couple of hours, I am not the kind that would stay in a bad mood for long :) *smirks*
I'm sleepy
TGIF
Good Fera ^.^ I punch walks when I'm upset, or wait to get my frustration out in Kung fu)
(I am depressed, but Dragona is fine. Yourself?)
(Sleepy but good %.%(
*sighs*
-Zaf
@chloe: Haha, i used to punch stuff while i was angry as well, i am now just simply learning to keep my cool and be cool ^_^
(I've still got bruised arms from Kung fu last Sunday -_-)
@chloe: aww, well you must've been really angry...that or someone messed you up real good :p *smirks*
(I had to block kicks with my arms
Bone on bone contact
Hurts like a motha)
Onwa: *enters the park with her, grass and trees and what not*

Of course.
Hack: *pedals faster, building up speed as he heads down roads as quick as he can*
Manuel: *smiles back*
Mm..
Great, dad.
Thanks for making me feel like shit.
(*huggles Kaster* there there
you are amazing)
*curls up*
And they wonder why I keep secrets.
Why I'm an introvert.
How can I not be? If you're going to call me a fucked up human being, then I'll hardly have any reason to share things with you.
@kas: aww, i would say my thoughts, but chloe has already said them :)
@Chloe: yeah i know, i am doing jiu jitsu :)
(Awesome
I don't think id have enough strength for that XD
good point, Kassy
I cant always share things with my parents
the only people I can share ANYTHING with is my nan and Jack)
It's just...
I was watching a video on YouTube.
I was talking to a person on chat, showing them a few funny gaming videos. One was of surgeon simulator.
I had headphones plugged in so I didn't hear dad come in.
He just saw like, organs being cut, and didn't have any of the accompanying audio that I had that described what was happening.
So he just said it was sick...
I know I shouldn't care what he thinks of me.
But still.
I just want to die.
And people wonder why I'm so introverted if I can't even watch YouTube without being made to feel guilty about it.
(don't want to die!)
@kas: you really shouldn't care :) He is an ass for saying that *puts fingers on forehead* look, i know there's almost nothing worse than when your parents are being assholes to you, but...just move on, if he is so pre-judgmental, let him have it :)
*sighs*
I know.
Still, I was having a decent evening. Then he walked in and made me feel guilty about what I'm doing.
@chloe: well, you do get thrown around a lot, and have to throw people around yourself ^_^
@kas: Do you watch markiplier? :)
No, I do not.
@kas: you should try :) he is truly a great guy, and his videos when he talks to his subscribers are beyond touching :)
(im too weak t o throw people around)
(MARK IS AMAZING)
@chloe: with practice, you would get used to it ^_^ *grins*
@chloe: I know he is :D :)
(I like his fnaf videos ^^
I guess
but I cant even do decent pushups)
*hugs Kas tightly*
You're not messed uo.
Qnd even if you enjoyed watching people being cut up, it would be fine so long as you didn't, y'know, cut people up.
(I know you don't - I'm just saying for the sake of the sadists out there.)
My hair's gone all weird . . . It's all straight and smooth. Normally it goes poofy after I dry it. :S
I already feel introverted. Like, I never call and talk to my friends when there's somebody in the house who's awake.
Same goes for videogames, both watching and playing.
I just didn't expect him to walk in as I didn't hear him because of headphones.
So the one time he does walk in, I feel like a piece of shit.
*sighs*
Never mind...
@Star Yeah, now I feel he thinks I'm a sadist. *sighs*
(don't worry
I cant talk to jack when my family are home
otherwise they shout things over the phone
and they've gone onto my ipad and looked at my twitter messages to him)
*firmly* There's nothing wrong with being a sadist.
It'sokay, Kas . . . you'll get out of there eventually. :( There is an endpoint.
@kas: aww, it's ok, millions are watching surgeon simulator ^_^ if he thinks you're a sadist, than he is not a grown man, just a baby in a mature body ^_^
@chloe: haha, yeah they are pretty fun, though i've known him since 2012... :)
you can train your physical prowess :)
talk about push ups, i am great at them as well as arm wrestling :) though i used to be honestly shiet at punching, jiu jitsu taught me how to use my strength ^_^
@star: dude, it really is not the time to be saying stuff like that to him...
@Star but there is everything wrong with feeling like a terrible human being.
(see, I am a great puncher and kicker but pushups? nope)
I feel guilty for being me.
*curls up*
@kas: everyone is a little bit of a sadist, to be honest...it's totally fine to be a little bit of a sadist. And the thing is, it's only your dad right? You were watching it, because you thought it was funny...there's so absolutely nothing wrong with that :) ^_^ *smirks*
@chloe: by the by, the comments are getting to an end-point, where are we gonna go after 5,000? :)
@chloe: yeah everyone is better at different things naturally...but you can train yourself to be good at something that you used to be terrible at, E.g. me with the punching :)
(don't be guilty
love yourself!
there is nothing wrong in what you do
the post before this one, we always move backwards like that)
(aye
I like doing kicks, against a shield, im really powerful)
I wasn't watching it for the game. I was watching it because of hilarious screwing up. At one point, they manage to wrap a phone cable around the computer screen, so one of the lines crosses the screen where it says "INSERT DISK" so it now says "INSERT DICK" and pretty much die of laughter once they realise what they've done.
1. I can't exactly show my father that this is the kind of humour in the video.
2. He's still seeing a body being cut open.
He thinks I'm fucked up.
I feel guilty for being me.
I have to face him now...
(*frowns*)
(why you frowning Jai?
don't feel bad Kassy O)
@kas: Haha, well i wanna watch the video now XD you worry WWAAAYY too much dude, just love yourself and learn how to don't give a flying fuck about some things ^_^
@chloe: hmm, that's good :) I am also a monster at holding people in a bear hug/grabbing people. Once i've got someone in my reach, they ain't getting away :p once, a guy in a year above me was pissing me off, so i caught him in a bear hug, applied my strength and *snap* his ribs broke in 3 places...i feel so sorry for the guy, i honestly did not mean it ;_; ^_^
(O.o wow Fera..)
They also die of laughter in another video, poor Spock...
Jai?
@chloe: I've apologized though...i just wanted to get him to stop...i hope he has forgiven me since then ^_^
@kas: what channel are you watching this on? :)
(that's good ^^)
BirgirPall
@chloe: I am also glad i didn't get his spine...that could've paralyzed him for life, and idk if i could live with that though ^_^ Since then, i am always careful with my grabs and bearhugs, unless i purposely want to hurt someone...especially in jiu jitsu, my sensei says "hold him with all your strength" and I am like "i know he is an adult, but i don't want to end up breaking him in hald" so i just pressurize my blood into my head, to look like i am holding him with all i've got XD by the by, where are we gonna go when we reach 5,000 comments? :)
(we go to the post before
hehe that's cool XD)
@Fera the next comments section.
I am going to read now.
