«Oldest ‹Older 2001 – 2200 of 4984 Newer› Newest»- Aquila-EAGLE looks quite happy with her new seat-
It twas only yesterday when I pondered precariously about pepperoni in a pie. "Will it work?" I wondered. I haven't heeded the hypothesis yet. :D
*is eating races chocolates* I am gonna get fat if i keep eating them...meh who cares.
I can eat half a kilo of chocolate in a day without turning spherical, so I'm sure you'll be fine. ^^
dunno, my metabolic rates are probably not as good as oyurs.
How I Met Your Mother makes me sad. Idk why. Probably because I know it doesn't turn out well. XD
*Shakes his head*
Swirl, make it so that I can sit on her head in revenge!
(That doesn't make any-)
Shush person who controls my life!
Swirl: ... you turned pink last time I did that while happy. ^^
*Stops*
*Thinks*
Hmm....
Just be careful.
My oh my
I get the feeling I might
Start to cry
Really makes me wonder
Why oh why
Does the toaster ruin my toast?
(Ask the host!)
No, no, no NO!
[Ba dum dum dum]
On both sides, it should be gold
[Ba dum dum dum]
A superb sight to behold
[Ba dum dum]
It must fit in the mold
That society makes
The standard I have for my toooaaast!
[Cymbal crash]
[Music quiets]
[Seething whisper]
It's the most
Angering thing
A truly angering thing.
[Escalates]
Either lukewarm or burnt or perfect but just one si-i-ide
[Cymbal crash]
Perfect toast
Should be a thing of pride
For the host
It shouldn't make me want to wail
Like a ghost
Because it's simply less than par
[Escalates]
Why, oh why, oh WHY?
[Music drops off to let the voice have this line]
Does the toaster ruin my to-oh-oh-OAST
[Ba da da]
hi, refuse.
Swirl: ... not sure being careful is to do with it, but oh well... -shrinks Blake- -forgot to tell him to take Aquila off his head- -Aquila barely manages not to squish him-
hi.
sup
clouds.
*Scrambles out from under Aquila-eagle and jumps up on to her head*
HAH!
and space i am guessing, and the atmosphere.
Aquila: -changes to cat, strokes you off her head with a paw and pins you down- -sniffs on you-
*Quickly stops laughing*
Nice kitty...
Aquila: -tilts head-
Aquila: -licks tiny Blake- -decides he's probably not food-
*Sinks into his shadow, popping back up behind Swirl.
...
Behind Swirl's foot*)
maybe intellectual stuff will make me forget about stuff...
Swirl: Did you eat him? 0o
Aquila: Meeew...
No, I'm still here.
*Glares at Aquila-kitty*
Swirl: You're not supposed to eat him!
Aquila: -changes to human- I don't think I did...
Swirl: ... what did he taste of?
yup. space, atmosphere, the whole shebang.
*Frowns as apparently they can't hear him from way up there*
Oi!
*Waves his hands around*
I'm still alive down here!
oh good. If life's better up there, i might move
Swirl: Wait a second...
-turns around, nearly kicking him-
Ooooh, you came up here!
-picks him up-
-calls down to Aquila-
It's fine, I found him!
Aquila: Oh, good. I'm pretty sure he's friend, not food...
Going to ignore the fact you were asking her what I taste like. Also going to ignore the fact you actually licked me.
*Glares at Aquila*
*Realizes he glares a lot*
*Stops glaring*
Swirl: Well, I'm curious?
Aquila: You were mouse-sized!
I'm a person! You don't lick other people!
*Sighs and sits cross-legged in Swirl's palm*
Swirl: ... so what DID he taste like?
Aquila: -shrugs- Like other people. A little salty and pretty fuzzy, thanks to the clothes.
Swirl: Heh, boring...
*His eye twitches*
*Now they're talking like he isn't even there*
*Pokes Swirl's hand with a slightly very sharp shadow*
Swirl: Ouch! -flinches and nearly shakes him off- Hey, when did you turn spikey? 0o
Aquila: He's spikey? Now I'm glad my tounge's fine... 0o
Swirl: -gently pokes tiny Blake- Do you want to be big again?
Nah, it's actually really interesting being this size, the world seems way different. Not to mention it just feels weird. Interesting weird.
Swirl: ... we could have a doll house for you?
*He begins to visibly seethe shadows*
Swirl: Tiny cars are way cheaper. -nods-
Aquila: You'd need a big garage. -starts climbing up as well-
Swirl: It WOULD fit nicely on the balcony part of the platform...
*In addition to the shadows he starts to shake, periodically clenching his fists*
Swirl: Are you alright?
Trying desperately to not brutally mutilate someone right now. But I'll be fine.
Swirl: ... why would you do that?
-looks around-
-sees no one else around-
... why would you do that TO US? 0o
*Sighs, taking a moment to relax*
I think the dollhouse idea is not a very good one, and have to protest. Also, suggesting making a place for me to live makes it sound like I'm going to stay like this, which I have no intention of doing.
Swirl: I thought more holiday style? You could have a weekend off as being tiny. ... and the house can be put where you want, so you could have a tiny forest or beach or whatever adventure. -nods.
Aquila: .. we should do that some time.
Swirl: I'm not sure I could shrink myself...
Aquila: Aw...
*Grumbles and lays back, closing his eyes and lacing his hands behind his head*
Swirl: -suppresses an 'Awwwww'- Are you comfy on my hand or would you like to sleep somewhere else?
Doesn't matter. I'm fine here.
*Shifts into a slightly more comfortable position*
Swirl: Alright. ^^
(Um. Time. Will Blake be fine being small for a while longer?)
(Ah I'm sure he'll be alright. As long as a random cat doesn't come along and eat him.
<______________________<)
(As if she'd really... well, maybe if he runs and gets her hunting instincts active...
... thing is, she does eat mice if she stays cat long enough. She learned the hard way to stay cat until they are somewhat digested, though. ... human stomachs disapprove of mice.
In any case, I won't let her eat him. -nods-
Aquila: I don't eat people, anyway!
Me: You do what I want you to.
Aquila: .. you wish. >.>
Me: ... We'll see.
Aquila: Uh-oh.
Me: -grins-
Aaanyway. Night J! ^^
Night Blake, too. ^^)
(G'night!)
*Grumbles sleepily and curls up*
I was made to work until closing
I told my boss that I was about to throw up, about to faint.
And he said that I needed to work to closing
And I'm a mess now.
(Why is it that when one human is put 'in charge' of another human they immediately develop a superiority complex? Most of the time, at least. I'm sorry that your boss is like that, Noelle...)
Thank you, Blake, I appreciate it.
My mom might take me to the urgent care tomorrow because I'm so messed up
Physically, mentally, both..?
(Sorry, asking questions I shouldn't. Off to bed now.)

THERE WAS AN ERROR IN MY DREAM AND IT MADE ME WAKE UP THAT'S SO COOL. I managed to kick idk something that looked like a fuse box from arkham city despite my dream being set in my old high school and even though it was like 10m away and I kicked it again and was like wtf how am I kicking this then woke up. :)
And for some reason Michael Caine was my PE teacher (I blame this on watching Now You See Me last night), and we were supposed to be playing basketball but instead he gave us a talk about his car insurance. And someone was being REALLY annoying in the car insurance talk so I tried to kick him and that's when I accidentally kicked the fuse box 10m away with some creepy stretchy leg.
(Goooood morning
I woke up with my duvet being flipped upside down... How the hell did I manage that?! It's a double duvet and quite heavy...))
Hi...
How are you, Dragona and Inky?
I'm not good. Mother's just pissed off at me and I feel like it's my fault but I just want to be left some privacy and peace...
And I've had a headache since waking up.
KILL ME
(Top of the morning Kas, don't die...)
-sits down-
I'm good Kas. :) Sorry you feel bad. :/
Hey Gemma. :)
(*glomps Gemmy* :P <3 )
I'm glad.
How about you, Gemma and Keiron? How are you?
At least Michael Caine the PE teacher but talks about car insurance dream was soooooooo much less depression than the flesh eating piranhas war with Germany in the future with boats ones.
(i'm fantabulously amazing :D * offers hugs* )

Im ok kassy. You?
I used to love the HIVE books. :)
You used to have many interests.
Until ME attacked.
;P
I just checked my timetable.
I'll have several places to be at once.
-will skip some things to go to others-
Erm. There hasn't been a book for 2 years.
I didn't just lose interest in them.
There actually won't be another book until 2017 so...
Read any new books, lately?
Er I started reading the Stormlight Archive a while ago???
-whispers- Tom, I'm sorry I have to tell you this, but... it seems your question marks are breeding. 0.0
Is it good?
Yes it's great.
(*quietly snaps fingers in a pentagram formation*
*metaphorically, because I can't actually snap my fingers*)
Why a pentagram, and did you never learn it or.. ?
@Aquila: Because according to Lizzie, snapping your fingers in a pentagram formation is the cooler version of snapping them in a Z formation. And I never learnt. :P
Does anyone really do the snapping thing? 0o
And, any intention to?
@Aquila: Erm . . . I'd snap my fingers in a Z formation (or a pentagram formation) if I could. :P
Not really, no.
Can you whistle?
(*places thumb and middle finger together and presses hard clicking them in a pentagram formation* ohhh hell no I know you did not just do that Crowley )
-blinks-
Who the heck's Crowley, and did they eat your last piece of cake? :P
@Aquila: No. I could a little bit at one point but I stopped practising, so . . . :P
:) Hey Keiron.
OMG KEIRON
LIZZIE'S PARENTS SAID THEY WOULD BUY HER /ANY/ CAR SHE WANTED
GUESS WHICH CAR SHE'S GETTING!!
@Aquila: Demon from Supernatural.
(he's the king of hell :P supernatural :P he had an orgy then killed them just to talk to demons )
( noo nooo no fucking way don't you bullshit me rn)
-would want a small car, so she can fit in tight spots-
-would NOT want a Smart, though, cause they are ugly-
I like our like... ten years old Ford Fiesta.. ^^
( 1967 chervorlet impala :D :P )
@Keiron: Yes
She is legit getting it
Like
Really legit getting it
And it's got left-side driving and all. :) :)
(awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gggggggggggoooooooooooooooooooooooddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD :P I actually prefer the 1927 I think it is version much sexier with the tail fins but still love that car D: :P did b4 spn too )
((Ikr! Excited. :) :)
I don't know much about cars. :P))
( 19278 version )
-thinks those cars look impractical-
-especially in the university parking lot-
-also looks like they need too much fuel-
( half agrees I suppose i'd rather this :P more practical in fuel ect )
@Aquila: Yeah, when I told my dad that Lizzie was getting the car from Supernatural he thought it was a terrible idea due to the impracticality. :P
Lizzie says she doesn't care. :P
Ours is a lot like this.
It's so NICE to have a tiny car when parking in tight spots, and ours has a window in the roof which is VERY useful in summer. You can let the hot air out that way. ^^
Our car is quite large. Well, our usual car is. Our usual car is currently broken. We got given a small black Mercedes as a compensation car. :)
Mercedes are weird with ther none-hand-handbreak. ^^
Plus my grandpa has a fancy one, just that it's so flat in the front I can hit my head leaning forward. :P
We have a Mercedes as well as our usual car. It's three years older than me and we're waiting for it to fall apart and die so we can get a new car, but it just keeps passing its test. :P
See, Star, if you want something to fail, don't buy a Mercedes. Try a Fiat. ;P
@Aquila: :P We bought it over a decade ago, second-hand.
To be honest, the newer ones aren't as durable as the old ones. ^^
@Aquila: No. Just under a decade ago, we had a silver Mercedes as well as our old one, and that wasn't nearly as durable.
Hrm, people here say mercedes used to make really durable ones and now not anymore.
"good day" everyone.
Hi Frank. ^^
hi johanna.
@Aquila: Yep.
Suddenly, Blake!
(Hi peoples.)
(Hi. ^^ Bad timing, cause -leaves for a bit- ;P)
((Not long though.))
hi blake.
bye
(Hi and bye.
Hey Frank.)
Hello again. ^^
wb
Thanks. ^^
Swirl: -pokes tiny sleeping Blake-
((hello people)))
hi spine
((how art thou?)
*Grumbles and curls up, trying to hide his head*
((hello John! ))
Hi Chloe. ^^
(Hey Chloe.)
(hey aq!
how art you guys?))
Hey.
Watching oitnb.
I'm fine, thanks. ^^
Swirl: Aww... like a kitten...
((hey gemmy ^^))
(Hey Gem)
*Sighs and stretches*
I am not.
(Hey John, Chloe.
How are you both?)
Swirl: ... are you sure? You curl up and make cute little noises...
(I am goooood ^.^
I wrote 2000 words today!
))
*Gives her a 'please stop' look*
(I'm alright, you?)
Swirl: -stops-
*Stands up, stretching again*
How long was I out?
(Really sucky right now...)
Swirl: ... long enough for my arm to go stiff from holding my hand flat...
Oh, sorry...
*Shadows lift him up to her shoulder, where he takes a seat*
(Why's that?)
Swirl: Phew. -takes hand down-
So.
*Looks around for something to do*
Swirl: ... I could blow you into a bubble and we'll see if you float?
...
That sounds awesome, though physics might have other ideas.
Swirl: Not sure, you ARE reasonably light... -gets her soapy water and ring on a stick-
Yeah, but supported-by-a-bubble light? Might be pushing it.

> Shadows swirl within the clouds above Blogland as they draw together, a mass of grey, a blanket of cotton. A girl walks directly below them as with each step she takes the clouds move with her, the girl whom bad luck swarms to like flies would to honey. She steps proudly, as she doesn't fear her bad luck, although that doesn't mean she is proud of it. If she continues to move then the luck won't pool and nothing bad will happen, or at least that's her theory.<
(Just lost my job, got the dentist tomorrow, got 2 tests in uni this week)
Swirl: We could try. ^^ -dips ring into soap water- You'll have to go in while it's not closed yet, OR we have to dip you into the soap water so you won't pop the bubbles.
Aquila: -watches the clouds from her nest-
I'd rather stay relatively dry, if that's alright... So how am I gonna get in before it's closed?
@gemma (that does suck. Condolences.)
(Ah... sounds fun. What are the tests in?)
Swirl: Well, you'll have to go in with the air that goes in?
(Hi Bruadar. ^^)
Hey Bruadar, thanks.
((Hello brud! Ash!))
*Looks at the ring*
Even I'd have to squeeze to get through that...
Human resource management and foundations of marketing.
Swirl: ... guess we need a larger one... Hm. -gets some wire to twist a bigger one-
(What and what.)
Tawnee: *walks aimlessly and comes across the girl*
You couldn't just make me smaller? It'd make it easier for the bubble to hold me as well.
>The clouds continue to loom above her as she walks, casting its shadow over blogland darkly<
>She looks at Tawnee, slowing her walk slightly<
Hello. Where would I happen to be.
Swirl: ... are you SURE? Cause... what if someone steps on you or breathes you in?
Tawnee: *normally would smile*
*but now she's lost the will to* this is blogland
*The thin cloud of shadows that always surrounds him becomes slightly darker, and seemingly more dense*
They'll know it as soon as they do and be in a much worse position than I.
Aquila: -cuddles up with her shadow blanket, in case those clouds mean rain-
>She nods, still walking slowly on her way.<
I see. Are there any shops nearby.
Swirl: Hm. How small would you like to be, then?
Taw: no... Why?
I dunno, what's the smallest you ever made a person?
(hey guys) @gemma (boy, that sounds...practical?)
((How art thou?))
>She nods.<
I've been walking a while, I'm thirsty. Oh well. Maybe somewhere else.
Aquila: -calls down- We have lakes!
Swirl: I never made anyone smaller than you, they'd be hard to hit with a scythe.
Taw: there is a pub
True. I'm around 8cm right now, right?
*Does a bit of math. Ew*
Two or three would probably do it.
Pubs take too long. And I haven't time to boil lake water. But thank you anyway.
>She smiles very slightly<
