It's not easy writing a book.
I mean, it's easier than mining coal. It's easier than most factory work. It's probably easier than a lot of office jobs as well.
But STARTING to write a book... those first few inches you have to push that boulder till it hits the edge and starts to roll downhill... THAT'S the hard part.
Not as hard as teaching, granted. Or working on a farm. Or being a doctor or a nurse or a cop or a fireman. I doubt it's as hard as construction, either, or carpentry, or plumbing, or engineering.
But STILL...

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 4973 Newer› Newest»(but its not healthy, a lack of sleep
its good ^.^
I also like 'gives you hell' and 'walk all over me')
(Meh. I'll make up for it at the weekend? *probably won't*
Gives you hell is good.)
(*raises an eyebrow*
it is XD that song applies to many people I know XD)
(*smiles innocently* I have sleep ins at the weekend!
xD)
(surrre *isn't convinced*
What? its true!
I was right! twas Viv last night ^.^
I better go and get ready now
*cries* I don't know what dress to wear!)
(*rolls eyes* I'll maybe catch up at the weekend.
Okay okay!
I know :)
xD good luck choosing!)
Alright. I officially got four hours of sleep . .
My family woke Mr up at eight, as happened every day, and I can't get back to sleep bc my mum's playing music grrrr.
Wtf.
Also, asking friends about surgery. Lizzie isn't online yet though and she's a first aider.
(It seems I disappeared briefly.)
Liliana: Alright. *she has another drink of cider* Why do they call it cider?
Parasite: *she raises her hand to James' head, entering his dreams*
Claire: I'm not adorable!
(Star, I am trained in first aid and trauma care, but there is a little difference between both of them and complex surgery.)
@Sophia: Yeah, but like . . . still. :P
(back! chose a dress *beams*)
Hey Chloe! :)
(Hey Star ^.^
took dog for walk
Im not allowed to wedar my dress until later, when I go to the play
so I chucked on a pair of jeans, white top and my multi coloured waistcoat)
@Chloe: :)
(how art thou?)
(Hello, Chloe.
Star - Apologies for my inexperience.)
(Hey Soph, how art thou? ^.^)
@Sophia: Lol. I'm worse. Dw.
It may be possible to avoid aurgery altogether, although that would still leave himi in a bit of a situation. Working on it.
*gestures to other tabs of computer*
He's normally fine when he has someone else with him who can like move and talk and stuff. :P
(I am rather... Bored May be the best word to describe it. Yourself?)
(Star, surely internal bleeding would make the need for surgery?)
(Im good thanks ^.^
dreading my brother's play though -_-)
(wbd
watching vines)
@Sophia: Mmh. Not really. If you just carry on giving him blood and leave him to get over it, he's usually fine after a while. He heals pretty well. Like, ordinarily, if you for example slice his hand open, he'll be able to heal it pretty instantly if he has enough energy (which . . . might also be an issue, considering he's here). That doesn't work very well with the bleeding, but if you just leave him be it'll eventually heal (eventually). And if you go cutting him open and cause more wounds, that just makes it harder, and doesn't really do much to fix it, so . . .
The issue is, he can't really tell them this because coughing and bleeding, and all his friends who usually help him out with things like this are in another realm so he can't phone them. And they might not lsiten to him anyway. And he might try just getting up and walking out, but he kind of needs enough energy to do that (probably needs more just to be able to stand up), and he can't really convert energy very well in this world (particularly if he's feeling like he is right now), so y'know. Also, blood. He kinda needs more blood. Although hopefully they should take care of that first.
He actually has spare blood in his jacket just in case bleeding ever occurred whilst he was out and about. Not sure they'll check there. They might root through his pockets though and then chuck the jacket out, but that'd also be bad because a) it doesn't even stain anyway b) that jacket is kind of useful, with all the pockets c) he kind of has excess medication stored in that that they may not notice and if he's gonna be here for a while then he'll need that.
*breathing
Not bleeding there. Although bleeding is a problem as well.
(You may have to consider the fact that they would assume he was an average human and deal with him in a suitable manner.)
@Sophia: Yeah. Exactly.
Although sooner or later they're gonna realise he's not. They'd look at some of his blood, right? And at that point they'd be a bit like "WTF."
They might just assume he was on drugs though.
Or not.
I may have to actually think this out.
(Indeed. So we will basically have to figure out what the doctors would do and what effect it would have on Morgan.)
((Mmh. Yeah.
Also, sources of electricity. Figure out where those are.
Rn, he can't reach anything like lights. Too far away.))
(No doubt they will have him hooked up to monitors and the like.)
((Mmh. Yay.))
((Would they hook him up to morphine?))
(They may use a cannula, perhaps. I do not know whether they would knock him out or just numb him.)
((Mmh. Well, if they tried he'd pull it out.))
(Even in his state? They would surely just then decide to sedate him?)
((Well, he's kind of (literally) killing himself to stay awake rn (although he can only keep that up for so long). /Ordinarily/ he'd be a little harder to sedate than normal people, but as he should be passing out around now anyway, idk . . .
Either way. If they try to put drugs into him he's going to resist.
(I cannot really see a way out of it that does not result in him being drugged and having surgery.)
(Do you think if he managed to talk to them they'd listen?)
(We can do the drugs&surgery route if you want, but y'know, it's not gonna work. I guess all we'd timeskip is them realising that.)
wrting from skool XD
Fera. XD
didn't think the school network would allow the blog...apparently it does XD :D
(They may listen, or just think he is delusional.)
((Mmh. Well.))
((I'm going with drugs adn surgery then, much good may it do us all. Timeskip?))
kids, never do drugs :D
(Yes, Star. Time skip. Apologies for the difficult situation.)
ima be off for tutor time then probably wont come in anymore until i am finished with mah paper rounds in the afternoon, goodbye ^_^ *hugs*
@Fera: Um . . . not planning to?
Okay, see you then! :)
@Sophia: Nope. I'm sorry. My fault. :P
Alright. Where are we timeskipping to? I reckon Morgan'll wake up sometime after the surgery, so . . . thenish? When will that be?
Oops.
I may have to answer soem fo my own questions.
(We can time skip until after the surgery - so the doctors will still be there and as will Ember?)
((Darcie in Spain on beach in deckcahir: *avoids sunburn*
Lizzie in England in shade: *gets sunbrutn all down her leg*
Wtf.
@Sophia: Okay. :)))
Morgan: *wakes up in a disorientated panic*
*forces his eyes open, not seeing anything much or really taking in what he sees, and tries to roll over*
*the tubes pull at his arm, and he frowns, his thoughts trying to connect enough to work out what they are*
One of the doctors in the room: It's okay. Just lie still.
((Omg.
Lizzie was wearing suncream and trousers and sitting in the shade in England and she still got sunburnt.
Wtf.))
(Sunlight can penetrate fairly deep, Star.)
Doctor: We had to take you to surgery. You might feel a little disoriented.
((Yeah but still.
Omg my laptop is like burning my fingers, it's so hot.))
Morgan: *hears the words without really registering them, struggling to sit up - which doesn't go too well, because he's pretty weak after bleeding and being operated on and s on*
*then a thought does register* Medication.
*a moment later* Jacket.
((666.))
(Perhaps you should attempt to cool it down?)
Ember: *she takes his jacket from a chair beside her* Which pocket?
(@Sophia: Eh. It's in the sunlight. I am also in the sunlight. I like being in the sunlight. I can't take my laptop out of the sunlight without taking me out of the sunlight. :P)
Morgan: . . . Just pass me the jacket.
*taps his fingers in a pattern, or tries to - the movements are kind of fumbling and uncoordinated*
Ember: *she passes him the jacket*
Morgan: *reaches for jacket, fingers fumbling urgently around the folds of cloth until they feel the pocket his meds are in*
*finds it, and, after a bit of trying, gets a pill out, and puts it in his mouth*
*resumes tapping his fingers, waiting for it to kick in and trying to work out where he is and what's going on*
*begins to work it out*
*wishes he hadn't*
Doctor: What did you just take there?
Doctor: We should have been notified about any medication you are on before the operation. But we didn't have sufficient evidence to bring up your medical file.
Ember: We only met today. I did not know that medication would be important.
(*melts into a yucky puddle of sweat because OMFG ITS TOO WARM*)
Onwa: Hmm.. I have no idea..
Jamesindream: *is in a field, on a blanket, picnic basket to the side*
You are.
(I am back from my brothers play
YE HA!)
I managed to stay unburnt-Zaf
(that's good, Zaffy!)
((Oh. Forgot I hadn't actually responded.
Sorry. Veyr hard to type here and on WhatsApp at the same time, and you guys won't yell at me if I disappear for a minute, so . . .))
Morgan: *mumbles* You wouldn't do.
*closes his eyes, trying to focus* *his thoughts are slowly settling down, but everything's still so muddled . . .*
*morphine*
*focuses for a moment, identifying it, then pulls the line supplying morphine out - presuming there is one*
*after a moment* Sorry.
(I am back.)
Liliana: Why is wine called wine? Why is beer called beer?
Parasite: *she steps into existence beside him* This is an unusually happy dream for someone like you.
Claire: I will literally punch you in the face if you say that again.
Ember: Are you alright?
Doctor: What are you taking the medication for?
(do you ever watch things and are like...wtf was that?!)
(Glad some people got sun... I was a nice person and went shopping with a friend, she had top choose the most open place around so that we both got drenched :( )
Morgan: *another pause, whilst his thoughts sort themselves out* I'll be fine.
*to Doctor* Uh . . . mental disorder.
*at least this is interesting*
Doctor: What kind of mental disorder?
@Inky:L Yes. :P
@Keiron: :( :( Aww.
(hey K ^.^)
Ember: You have a mental disorder? Well, I suppose that makes sense.
(Hey Chloe :P *offers huggles* )
(sis: *tries on MY top* I like this, can I keep it?
me: No!
sis: thank you!
me: I said you cant!
Sis: Ive already sprayed my perfume on it now!
me: so youre marking your territory? like a dog?
Sis: *nods and barks*
me: so youre a bitch in more ways than one)
(*huggles K*)
Morgan: *sarcastically*
Thanks.
[6/25/2015, 17:03] Catherine: Dan: *ignores Annabeth* *stops outside the door into Victoria's room* *to the others, seriously* Don't speak unless you're spoken to, get it? After we get out of that room, you can do whatever the fuck you want, but unless you want to die, whilst we're in there, shut the fuck up. *waits for a moment, before pushing the door open and stepping inside*
[6/25/2015, 17:03] Lizzie: Dean:*nods*
*a minute or so later*
[6/25/2015, 17:11] Lizzie: Dean: oh fuck off
*facepalm*
(I also had the awkward experience of hunting through Ann summers for "comfy bed wear" she went to try it on and 4 staff people all asked at separate times If I needed help and I said I was just waiting and she went ohh she'll love this btw *points to lube and vibrator...* )
(At least you got sleep star :P did the Songs help :P ? hehe )
Ah haven't been on this in far too long :) Hiw is everyone?
@Keiron: XD
Omg. I forgot I only got four hours of sleep last night. I'm not tired.
. . .
Wtf is my body clock doing with its life??
:P They must have done, becuase I fell asleep soon after that.
Oh. Hi Lord! :) I'm fine, thanks. :) Roleplayiing on two fronts.
You?
(Hey lordy :P I am wet and embarrassed wbu?)
(I had 2 hours maybe b4 I got awoken by my friend like hey you wanna go out to Glasgow... :P yeh I'm too nice -gotta rack up that good carma. I want this job so bad... I would sell my soul for it... probably lol- I'm glad they helped :D)
@Keiron: :( Awww, poor you.
(Like I said if it racks up my karma for top gear then I'll take a round house to the ****)
(Hey lord! How art thou ?)
Onwa: Wine.. maybe the person who made it had a friend.. who was whining..
James: *looks at her*
Hello. Admittedly it's one of my happier starts.
What, that you're adorable, adorable?
@Keiron: XD Okay. You carry on doing that.
(@StarandSoph hey, are you both free next Saturday?)
@Jai: Presumably.
(@Star that's not very comforting.)
(Reassuring. That's what I meant.)
(I'm supposed to try yoga this weekend -_-)
@Jai: Well, I don't tend to know what I'm doing until I'm doing it.
(@Chloe that's bad..?
@Star hmm. Okay. Cause I was thinking that if you two want we could do the meadow hall meet up then instead..?)
(Star will like this)
(I will try

Disrupt the class)
(@Chloe ahh okay.)
@Jai: *nods*
*looks at link suspiciously*
*clicks*
*opens*
Ah, yes. I will like this. :)
May need to read when I'm not surrounded by people though. Looks a little weird to be like reading about incest.
Read it anyway. :P
Yeah. I may need to find a parent and ask what I'm doing on Saturday or if I am doing anything.
(@Star yeah it probably would look a bit weird..
Was that nod a 'yes that'd be okay' or a 'I acknowledge your words but have no reply')
(Wow.. trains from Hull might cost a lot for you.. about £25..)
BOO
RUN IN FEAR, MORTALS
...
idk either
(Hey fabulous!)
Hey! :-)))))
@Jai: Ouch.
It was a 'I acknowledge your words but I need to find a parent' reply.
HEY LANTERN!
(Hey moss!
This man is accused of stealing the headstone for a woman's baby who died )
(*money for the headstone
Also there is a chance that this baby didn't even exist)
(@Star yeah, ouch. Although that is at least a return ticket which makes it a bit better..
Ah okay. Find a parent! xD
I've semi decided virtual friends will be my art theme.)
(@Chloe seen it. He and his girlfriend took the money.)
@Inky: ?
@Jai: Yeah.
Hmm. My dad is in the room, but I need my mum beacuse she's the one who knows what's going on . . . hmm.
@Jai: :)
(What a *******)
(@Star *nudges You* Go find the mum!(
(*laughs at Chloe*)
((I am free. :)))
(*raises an eyebrow at jai*
Jeremy Kyle, star)
(@Star okay :) If Draggie/Sophi is free maybe we can meet then then.
*waves at Chloe*)
(*tickles jai*)
I'll also have to get a train into Hull first. More ouch.
(worth it though. And I have money. Although I want to buy an Allomantic vial necklace. Althoguh that won't happen for a while. XD)
Right looking up train times.
@Chloe: *nods*
(*squeals and runs*
@Star no necklace until you don't skinpick for a month xD)
(*runs after you* come back Jai!)
@Jai: For a MONTH?
Nooooooooooooooo that'll never happen. XD
(*keeps running!*
@Star yes! A month!)
@Jai: :(
May as well get it for Christmas then.
:(
Does mean I'll haev money though . . .
(*catches up to you and pounces*)
((OMG why are train websites so confusing.))
(*facepalm at star*
You realize I can't STOP you from buying it?
@Chloe *slips a necklace around your neck*
SIT!!!)
@Jai: :P Yeah, but - yeah. Well. Oh yeah.
(*faceplants the floor* )
(*facepalms at star* You're so obedient..
*smirks at Chloe*)
(*gets up and growls*)
@Jai: XD Sorry.
(*grins at Chloe*
@Star don't apologize, it's fine.)
(*sulks*)
(Nawwww. Adorable.)
(*mutters* not adorable)

(Not)
(You areeeeee!

(@Fabulous yey!!!)

(Nooooooot!)
@Lantern: ! :) Good luck!!!!!!!!
@Jai: Hmmmmmmmmm I'm getting £12.95 for a return. Am I doing something wrong?
(@Star dunno? I used national rail, although I didn't take into account you may have a student card/half fare card sooooooooo..?)
(What website are you using?)
@Jai: I'm looking at northern rail . . .
I don't have a student card . . .
I'm pretending I'm fifteen . . .
(Darcie told me too. XD)
(*rolls eyes*)
TRAINNNNNSSSSS
[is a zombie]
(Oh, that makes it cheaper xD
*stares at Fabulous*)
[Marches lop-sidedly toward Silente]
I WILL EAT YOUR TRAINNNNSSSSSSSS
@Lantern: :)
@Jai: XD
Yay.
XD Lantern, you're very cool.
(Not the trains!!!!
*hides the trains*
@Star so, if Soph/draggie's okay with it we could meet up then. I figured there might be less people because the six week holidays aren't here yet?)
(Ohhhhh
Dachshunds are apparently hard to train cause they're strong wille
So my dog isn't thick...)
(There here for me... have been for a while now... but college I spose :P I don't need to go back till late august. :D)
@Jai: :) *nods* *smiles*
@Chloe: :P
(I can get him to sit
But only on carpet
He won't sit on the cold floor, cause his balls would be touching it)
(Why thank you, Star. :-P)
[Doesn't see any trains]
[Sniffs the ground, searching for a trail--or possibly a train track]
(@Chloe xD
*nods back at star*
...
*kicks a train towards fabulous*)
(What?)
"kicks a train" lol
TRAIIINNNNNNNN O_O
[eats train]
(*is reminded of asdf movie*
I like trains)
(Hey guys. Should I migrate upstairs or not?)
(Yes star!)
(I'm not. :P Sorry.)
(Tis okay ^.^)
@Chloe: :)
(I love Jeremy Kyle )
(It's quiet...)
Yeah. :/ Multitasking.
(Re watching emmerdale
Because mum was out when it was on the first time)
(Jaimie, I am not free next Saturday. Apologies.)
Liliana: I thought that was WH. Maybe it's someone who can't speak properly trying to pronounce vine?
Parasite: *she sits down beside the picnic basket* How do they usually turn out?
Claire: *she glares*
Doctor: During the surgery, we were having trouble determining the cause of all of the blood. There were no external injuries.
(Hey Soph)
(Hello, Chloe.)
(How art thou?)
(Ah. Never mind then.)
Onwa: Hmm. Maybe. Vine, wine, sounds about right.
James: With death and pain.
*grins*
Liliana: Vine wine vine wine vine wine vine wine vine wine vine wine. That seems to fit.
Parasite: Well I am here now. And believe it or not, I am very good at manipulating dreams.
Claire: I'm not joking. I'll punch you.
(Ah. Okay.)
Onwa: *laughs*
Vine wine vine wine vine wine. That's amusing to say.
James: You are?
I know you will
Liliana: Yes, it is. *she smiles*
Parasite: How do you think I am going to continue tormenting people in their sleep if I have no power over their dreams?
Claire: So don't test me.
Bethany: Please don't punch her...
Onwa: *smiles back*
Viiiiiiiine. Wiiiiiiiiine.
James: I guess that makes sense.
*reaches into the picnic basket, looking inside*
Hmm.
Claire, a little more respect please. Don't threaten family.
(I like the name Moses )
Liliana: Viiinnne, wiiiiinne, sounds like a nursery rhyyymmmeeee.
Parasite: What do you have in the picnic basket?
Claire: Screw you, don't call me adorable and I won't threaten you. Hmph.
(Chloe, as a first or last name?)
Onwa: *laughs*
James: A head. And Champaign.
Claire! Show respect!
(First)
((Ah that's it.
When ARE we all free, then? Because we may as well plan it now as any time . . .
wait . .
what happened with that sentence . . .))
((Me&Jai&Sophia, I mean. :P))
(@Star I'm free next weekend but no other days until the 1st August, and I'm not sure if I'm free the 1st but I should be on the 2nd onwards.)
Liliana: You know I am a beautiful singer.
Parasite: A head? I thought people usually carried sandwiches.
Claire: Why should I show respect to you when you don't show respect to me? Literally, I could have saved your life just a few hours ago. The pickup would have been still on the motorway if it wasn't for me using my powers to push it into a bloody field. The trucks could have come together again and boom, both of you would have been dead. I damaged my most expensive and prized possession and risked my life jumping onto the truck to look after you both. And what was your reaction? A lecture about how revenge isn't the right answer. So who isn't respecting who? You don't have any respect for what I spend my life doing. All I am to you is a stupid child who has to be looked after and supervised. You may have adopted me, but I am not a normal child.
(I believe August would be best for me, personally.)
(I get to see jack wheni go to Blackpool!
I wish I could meet you guys but I'm not allowed to catch a train by myself and I have no money)
Well . . . I'm on holiday end of August.
@Chloe: :( It would be cool to meet you.
You live pretty far away though . . . :/ Me and Jai and Sophia are pretty close. Well. Jai adn Sophia are very close. :P
(I know
But as soon as I get a job and can drive, I shall try)
