A lot of people would take this opportunity to compile a Best Of list... and I am no different. And so, without further ado...
Best New Horror: It Follows
Jaw-droppingly good. A wickedly smart throwback to horror movies from the 80s. Bliss.
Best New Addition to a Franchise From Far, Far Away: The Force Awakens
Good GOD I loved this. It has heart, soul, warmth and grit — a huge departure from the prequels and a wonderful continuation from the original trilogy. I couldn't have done it better myself.
(Well, I could have, but they didn't ask, so...)
Best TV Show: The Walking Dead
This was a close one, with Game of Thrones running a tight second, but its White Walker mayhem was matched by episode upon episode of zombie thrills. And unlike GoT, I didn't know where The Walking Dead was going to end up...
Creepiest Horror Seen on Blu-Ray: Sinister
Oh I love a good creepy horror, and this hit the spot.
Most Disappointing Horror: The Babadook
I don't get it. I just don't.
Best New Addition to a Franchise Thought Long Dead: Fury Road
A car chase that lasts an entire movie. How awesome is that? Not as feminist as I'd been led to believe, but still a thousand times more awesome than most other movies.
Best YA novel: The Rest of Us Just Live Here, by Patrick Ness
Get this book. Read this book. Love this book.
I didn't get to see all the movies I wanted to, didn't get to watch all the TV I wanted to (Ash Vs The Evil Dead and Jessica Jones being top of my To Watch list), and definitely didn't get to read all the books I wanted to, but all in all 2015 was a good year.
Next year is going to be busy. I've got the second Demon Road book out at the very end of March and the third and final one out in September. But I've learned my lesson, oh yes. No more six month publication schedules for ME, boy howdy. A lot of things have suffered as a result of this workload (that still isn't over, by the way) and I want to get back to a nice and healthy communication routine with you, my lovely Minions.
2016 is going to be FUN.

That sounds awesome, Noelle!!!!
East coast has really had some extremes this winter, hasn't it? I mean, 70° F on Christmas and below zero now??
So Idk if they have these anywhere (I'm almost positive they do) else but in Seattle there's a cat cafe. So like, you make a reservation and it comes with a drink and then you go in a room with 10-15 cats in it and you get to hang out with them for an hour!!! They're all up for adoption and the money goes to the shelter (at least the reservation fee). Tomorrow my friends and are going because it's along the bus route we all take and it's our last day of finals!!! (We have a three day week and get out at 12:30 everyday which is pretty sweet. Except for the fins part)
But like, CATS!!!!! :D :D😸😸😸
**finals
Except the finals part
Actually, I'm Midwest, but yeah- climate change is real. Anyone who believes otherwise is an idiot.
Cat cafe? No, but we do have a breakout room. That's fun.
Hello. *cuddles Noelle*
Babu! *Jumps, cuddles* Who are you?
Just Alastair, this time. *hugs*
Hi Alastair* *Crawls over into his arms, and snuggles, nibbling on him like a fishie*
*wraps her in his coat* Hello, my dear Noelle.
*She likes the coat* Hi babe :) *Kisses him* How are you?
I am delighting in your presence. How are you?
I'm happy that you're here :) *lick*
I'm glad to hear it, pet. Thank you.
*Curls up under his arm* *Chiselchest xD*
*cuddles her* *that is quite an amusing name*
I think you guys got hit with the storm coming my way.
6-12 inches I'm expecting Friday-Sunday.
Sounds like quite a lot of snow.
*Dots kissies over his face* I love you babydoll. *Snugs close*
It is. We haven't had a lot though, so this isn't bad.
My first snow day wasn't even for snow! School had no power for some reason, just the high school.
Interesting.
And I, you. *snuggles*
*Likes his snuggles* You're cute... *Touches his arm* Can we go do something? Can you take me out to dinner?
I haven't been to the cat café, but I've been to a bookstore with cats and it was the best.
Also hi people.
I worked in the shop today.
I'm not very good at using power tools but I didn't injure myself, which was good.
Twas interesting.
Sigh. Sleep. I wanted to make my profile pic something but for now HYDRA is cool
Hello, Fabienne. I'm glad it went well.
Goodnight, Zafira.
Of course, Noelle. What would you like?
Hi fabababababu- thank you for your emails
*Pinches Alastair's chin* Mexican food* *Gets dressed, and sits on him*
*kisses her head, and carries her to a Mexican restaurant*
*Ok*
*They will seat themselves*
*She gets the arroz con pollo, and dips her chips in salsa* mmm
*he isn't sure what to get, so he asks her* What is your favorite?
The arroz con pollo. But there are also fajitas, and chimichangas, and burritos, and tacos, and flautas, and frijoles...
I like the arroz con pollo, though. It's just rice, cheese, and chicken. And we can dip our chips in guacamole, 3 varieties of spicy salsa (I like the spiciest), or queso.
Then I'll have that, also.
*Rafe takes their order* *Adra breaks a chip and scoops some hot salsa onto it* *Leans across the table to feed it to Alastair*
*smiles faintly, and eats it* Thank you, pet.
*Smiles up at him* *Dips another one into queso this time, and holds it up*
*eats that, too* That is quite lovely. *scoops some queso onto a nacho, and offers it to her*
(Good morning my chickadees !)
*Gently years the chip* *Yummy yummy yummy* *It is like... Liquid heaven*
(Hello?)
(It's quiet)
( hi... yes it is :P ( I realise this is an hour late ) I'm sorry i've been distant as of late but I am currently downloading about 800 gb worth of software for my laptop both for college and fun :d and catching up on shit )
(Hi.)
We all know I'm currently working on getting through Supernatural.
I have the newest episode recorded and I set my DVR to record first runs only so when I finish if it isn't on Netflix yet I at least have some of season 11.
(Hey, Zaffy!
*has never seen Supernatural*
*except, maybe, that one time...*
How are you, Zaffy?)
Nice, I'm watching the second season of agents of shield (I have it On dvd) but I'm recording the third one so when I'm done I can watch it!
(Hey, Duggy!
*has seen Daredevil and Jessica Jones but not Agents of Shield :|
How are you, Duggy?)
I'm okay. Mostly just into watching.
*shrugs*
(@Zaf Okay! Have fun!
And it's midnight and I'm off to sleep. :///
Time zones suck.
I need to move to North America.)
Sleep tight :P
So a while ago, I wrote this.
http://anamelessattempttoestablishsomeorder.blogspot.com/2013/12/fabi-s-final-countdown.html
There was a major plot point I never revealed. I have now done so in the comments section of the post.
I'm unlikely to ever go back to serious roleplaying, and I wanted a bit of closure, for lack of a better word.
You're under no obligation to read it, though it may well be of interest to people who remember the original post and/or the RP with Ioux, Liz, and the box.
And Noelle--No problem, I enjoy emailing you.
(*is aching all over*
*mutters* bloody circuits...)
(Hello people ^.*)
Nil Se'n La
Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir
is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.
Is é dúirt sà liom "Nà bhfaighidh tú deor.
Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile
I came by a house last night
And told the woman I am staying
I said to her:
"The moon is bright and my fiddles tuned for playing"
Tell me that the night is long
Tell me that the moon is glowing
Fill my glass, I'll sing a song
And will start the music flowing
Never mind the rising light
There's no sign of day or dawning
In my heart it's still the night
And we'll stay here till the morning
Chorus:
NÃl sé ina lá, nÃl a ghrá,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go maidin,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
It's not day nor yet awhile
I can see the starlight shining
NÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
Fill the glasses one more time
And never heed the empty bottle
Turn the water into wine
And turn the party up full throttle
Don't go out into the cold
Where the wind and rain are blowing
For the fire is flaming gold
And in here the music's flowing
NÃl sé ina lá, nÃl a ghrá,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go maidin,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
Tell me that the night is long
Tell me that the moon is gleaming
Fill my glass, I'll sing a song
And we'll keep the music streaming
Until all the songs are sung
NÃl sé ina lá, nÃl a ghrá,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go maidin,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
NÃl sé ina lá, nÃl a ghrá,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go maidin,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
(Drum Solo)
NÃl sé ina lá, nÃl a ghrá,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go maidin,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
NÃl sé ina lá, nÃl a ghrá,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go maidin,
nÃl sé ina lá is nà bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
(Hey, Chloe!)
(Hi kas!
Sorry, went to revise)
(*talks to self*
*nutters something about lemons and koalas*)
Date night tonight
(Enjoy Noelle ^.*)
(No ones posted since yesterday ...)
Well I'm currently in a blizzard.
(I wish we had a blizzard ere...)
No you don't. It's windy as hell and snow is blowing....
(I have about three undedicated pages. I'd like to dedicate them now
The first I dedicate to my friend, Ed, who cried at school recently and whom I have never before seen cry. I hope he manages to get past his problems, I'm sure he can.
The second I'd like to dedicate to Stewart.
Stewart was my dads friend, and he died this morning of cancer. And it was too.. quiet. We've known it was coming for a long while, and I'm glad its finally come in a way. But I feel that he deserves to be acknowledged, that the fact he existed should be said. And I know it won't change anything, but it's something I can do at least.
And my third page I dedicate to Kas, Gemma, Chloe, Holly and Sophia. Because you all matter to me, even if we don't talk much.)
(Awww
Hear hear !)
Hear hear :)
(Me: *fills and empties dishwasher *
*i normally empty the dishwasher, my sister fills it.., when she can be bothered*
*family goes out, is home alone and doesn't go out the kitchen *
Mum: *comes home* you could've filled the dishwasher
Me: no one asked me too... And I did my sisters job last time... Ask her to do it
Mum: no! You should've done it!
Me: but she never does her job!
*an hour later*
Me: mum, what's for tea?
Mum; *gives me a look and says in a nasty tone* you expect ME to make you food?)
Well close to 20 inches of snow.....4 more and its 2 feet
(I can't remember the last time we had snow )
(Is anyone here?)
(hi. )
(Hello! How is you)
(Hello?
It's me...)
Hello from the other side
(Jack!!! *glomps*)
( I am good :D :P
tad lonely, I just wanna snuggle up in bed with Gem and sleep )
(Nawwww
I know how you feel... I can't see Jack till half term)
( :( :/shame )
(It is... But I value all the time I can spend with him
I can be with him on Valentine's Day which is awesome
February the first is our first year anniversary)
(I is going to bed now
Nos da )
(ditto imo I don't want to move it 2 months or to july, I just call it a 2 month spat... February is our month to me :D )
(Good morning !
O' gracious goddess!
O' gracious God!
Lend me strength, health and love
During this coming day
Assist me with the challenges ahead
Share your divine wisdom
Teach me to respect all things
Remind me that the greatest power of all is love )
*peeks from underneath mr.pillow*
(This place is so quiet)
I got bored so I made a snow angel I named Castiel
Then it looked like an angel died strangely enough
So I went back inside.
I was having way too much fun in a blizzard I ended up shovelling snow and I think I nearly freaked because the wind was howling
Then we had my mom start her car and I didn't know so I had this freak moment which was funny
Oh and I fell into a snow drift and screamed at the snow. I called the snow an idjit.
2 feet of the stuff and I'm 5 feet tall
What kind of a shit storm happened here?
Barely 2,000 comments since the new year- I mean, I noticed that it has been slowing down for a while, but this slow? I don't know if I've bet seen this place so deserted.
What the hell happened?
(I have no idea Noelle
Hello guys ^.^)
helu
(Hi FERA )
sup
(*shrugs* There were a lot of fights, so people left because of that. A lot of the "oldies" left, either claiming that the blog was better "back in the day" or just because they missed the people who used to be on the blog and didn't feel as attached to the "new blog". Roleplayers were criticized for role-playing, so they stopped role-playing and some of them left because they didnt know what to say. Quite a few people just lurk now and don't comment, for a lot of different reasons, and some people left because of sour relationships. Also school happened, a lot of us have finals or A levels or GCSE's and are swamped with revision and homework.)
(At least that's what I THINK happened.)
heh, I mean i think you pretty much listed most of the reasons :p
(I miss the bustle ...)
( stfu sappa no one reads your stupid ads and takes them seriously.... or at least they shouldn't it basically cries malware infected )
(Couldn't have said that better myself)
( how's you chloe :D :P )
(Not myself tbh
Can't sleep )
( *looks confused* ? ... then who be ye ? :P
also sleep ? at this hour? what you been up to that's got ye tired ? :P
I was up for 3 days the other day and crashed the minute I got home til 5am )
(I get days when I get so tired from not doing anything... Tried to have a nap but can't
(ah . I understand that. * shrugs* I guess you'll just need to find something to do for a few hours till you can sleep ? like a dvd or something, I used to not be able to get to sleep without one as I'd have terrible dreams. )
(Decided on watching Kevin and Perry go large)
(Never mid
Mum decided to wake up and then changed the channel before going bak to sleep again)
(*hugs* hope you get some too )
(*hugs* thanks)
(I have had a thought
Wolf is my spirit animal)
(Anyone?)
I just don't know what to say? And like, high school has kept me busier.
But I still always read back through comments and check my Dugglyn email so I still exist. I haven't left completely!
(Duggy!!!!!)
I'm watching Supernatural.
Have been for a month
Chloe!!!!
*supermegahuggletacklesofdoomvils!*
So um, I kinda have to go but I'll try to check in later! If you're not asheep..
(*hugs tightly* okay ^.^)
(*hugs Dug gently..*)
*hugs Jai back*
:)))
So this is what being 18 is like.
Happy birthday!!!!
(Happy birthday!!!!
It was my 'best friend' s birthday yesterday
She told me that she's taking a few peopl away for the weekend
Didn't invite me)
(left my fucking laptop charger in alisons ;( it'll die and I'll need to go in tomoz for it)
(Hello?)
Hi.
Hi.
(Gem! How is you?)
'sup?
(Hello Bru! How is you?)
(I is cracking. In a good way.
You?)
(I is energetic which is weird for a Monday ^.^
Still have had no snow -_-)
(aw, pity. Want some drizzle? we can do drizzle.)
(We have plenty of that here. XD roll on summer!
In fact... No! Summer and exams that determine my life can wait *nods*)
(I hear you. Prelims are bads.)
(Aye... I need to do well to get into Portsnouth...)
(Best of luck. I'm considering making a sacrifice to better my odds. it a pity I don't do RE, really. I could say it was coursework.)
(Thanks, you too ^.^
I have these little figurines that you put under your pillow and they take your worries away... It's working for me ^.^)
I find this song really helps me relax:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGL2mZNoUBY
Is your phone broken or out of credit Struan? Or did you just like not text me back for a month?
Hello Chloe, sorry. Been playing Animal crossing with my brothers.
(Awesome ^.^)
(That okay Gem ^.^
I am watching heathers the musical)
you've been texting me? I haven't got it. sorry. I'd have replied if I had. Have I ever not?
sorry, I just went through my sim card. you did text me on new year. i'm so sorry i didn't reply. I wasn't really aware at the time, and i must have missed it. so sorry.
Apart from this no. I guess you didn't notice though. It's fine. It was just stupid. I wished you a happy new year and haven't got a reply . Just thought you may have been ignoring me after what we were last talking about. Got paranoid but nevermind :)
It's ok i was over-reacting because i'm an idiot.
(Heather, heather and heather are mean!)
(You aren't an idiot Gem ^.^)
sorry i never noticed, I was a wee bit jaked at the time. :/
I am most of the time, Chloe.
And no problem Struan, honest.
I stayed up till 7, woke at 10 then had a nap for 3 hours when i got home.
(Nah, I doubt that ^.^)
@gemma (how're you, anyway?)
(Girls are so mean)
I'm ok i guess. I have an essay to do for the 30th that was meant to be due the 11th. I get 20% taken off for it being late but i don't need a lot to pass so i kinda gave up and now i'm panicking because i have no clue what i've to do. I didn't back then either...
-sigh- apart from that i'm good. You?
And yes they are, Chloe.
(The heathers are so mean...)
(sorry, who's heather?)
(@gemma: that's...a considerable amount of cattle faeces. if i say so myself. what a stupid policy to have. i'm good. my seamer tool jammed, so i'm repairing it with other slightly broken tools. its like ultimate air-fix.)
(There is an old film/ musical called heathers
It's like mean girls but more dark)
Well just watch you don't hurt yourself, Struan.
(oh, cool. Not something that's likely to come up in my suggested videos, though.
Nah,i've got work-gloves, and i've had my tetanus jags, so i'm fine.)
(I recommend it if you are the musical type)
(i kind of am. I love all the old Andrew Lloyd Webber stuff and Rogers and Hammerstein are always good. have you ever seen Doctor Horrible's sing-along blog? Best 45 minutes of my life.
(No I haven't ^.^
I like rocky horror, little shop of horrors, repo, genetic carnival, Spider-Man the musical which I saw on Broadway, phantom of the opera... I love em all)
*devils carnival
i think you'd like Dr. Horrible. Not heard of devil's Carnival, what's it about? it sounds cool.
(It's by tr creators of repo
Three people die... A grieving father, a thief in a shootout and a teen killed by her boyfriend
They all end up in hell which is presented as a carnival and they all get included in the act some how
A second came out last year... When he'll declares a war on heaven and the Hoff is in it
I'll give that a look ^.^)
(oo....sounds fun.)
(It is short but good ^.^)
*happily explodes*
(I feel like puking. Just... what the hell was in my food?
Hey, Zaf. What's got you in a happy mood?)
I'm 18 today.
( explodes happily or happily explodes, big difference ?)
( ah .... Happy birthday!
Didn't think 18 was a big deal in America coz you still can't drink and stuff, I get it here as its almost a right of passage even though I felt no different, I drank b4 ... What can you do... Smoke and porn ? That about it? )
Uhm I can vote.
Have sex with Dean Winchester legally
Uhm....that's it on positives.
( you could, you know ... If he existed now Jensen Ackles him you could have sex with, if he didn't have a wife .... Jared Padalecki has kids and his wife is ruby as for Misha Collins he has kids but part of me doesn't want to believe wife I like to think its Jensen)
I like to think Jensen and Misha are really married and I don't know adopted kids and pretend to be married to women.
Now, if I live in the Supernatural universe, I'd probably end up a hunter. I can see hellhounds, and I wouldn't be stupid to ever turn down Dean. Though I much prefer Sam.
I got into this debate at drama with a girl in stage crew
I have a bracelet that I wear that says Team Sam
I said that whilst Dean is sexy, he's an ass. I rather Sam because he actually is intelligent, and he isn't going to do something I wouldn't like. If I was a hunter and I bloody well told him to not bring me back, its a higher chance he'd listen. Also, he sees more logic and at least would keep a steady relationship. Dean thinks of himself and his odd desires and I would constantly wonder if Dean is having an affair, where Sam I seriously would trust is on a hunt.
Plus on that show they pretty much took the fourth wall and broke it, bulldozed it, and exploded the remains. There just isn't a fourth wall.
The Supernatural books and the episode where they were on the Supernatural set...?
Yeah *BOOM* Cannon fired for the fourth wall.
(You should meet my friend midge... He is such a big supernatural fan and cosplayed as someone for comic con )
(Gah, happy birthday, Zaffy! Sorry for disappearing!
I had a weird dream. Hmm...)
(shalom )
I'd cosplay but none of the females I like
And are all dead. Mostly. Minus a few angels.
( you'll love a new female lead in the new season !!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMGO OMOGMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGMGOMGOM !!!!!!! ypu need to catch up right this second !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a thing happened an amazing thing !)
I'd cosplay but none of the females I like
And are all dead. Mostly. Minus a few angels.
Okay well I'm on season 9, Cas just killed Bartholomew
And am I gonna like a female lead? So long as I still see Sam and Dean I don't care
Preferably Sam
And I'm gonna pretty much catch up this weekend I'm gonna be home all by myself Thursday night and most of Friday so I'm gonna do a marathon
Goal is to get as far into season 10 as humanly possible and buy what I need of season 11 off iTunes. I'm recording new episodes from last week on so I should be able to begin watching live by early February.
I think I made a record :P I would do 12-15 hour marathons per weekend just so I can catch up.
The Babadook trailer doesn't even seem THAT bad. Besides HAPPY KNEW YEAR
(Hello?)
(*sings to self*)
(*hums bullet*
*hugs Chloe*)
( I started watching when season 10 had a week till airing and I watched all within two weeks)
(*hugs jai* bullet?)
(It's a song. Good song. Also bad song.)
(As in Hollywood undead?)
(Yeah.)
( I like hollywood undead :D circles and young and shean etc )
(Has anyone seen Dragona?)
Season 9 episode 15 currently
I IS GETTING THERE
Hmmm
DYNAMITE
There. First.
Dedication-
I dedicate this page to winter. I love winter. I love snow. Just not 20+ inches in one go. I don't like that.
Oh to adulthood. It's great. I can vote, I can....I don't know I'm legal if I lived in a world with Sam Winchester.
Oh and to my two adorable gerbils, Snowball and Coco. The lovely dummies
:(
*She just lays down and cries*
*she hates herself so much sometimes*
It's like
I can't get it
It's so difficult...
I hate the way I look. I can't seem to break 140. I keep trying and trying...
:/ I mean my bmi is healthy. Like, I'm 5'8" and 140- that isn't that bad.
But I just
Pudgy.
I want to be beautiful.
Noelle, I've seen pictures of you and you truly are beautiful.
Honestly, you're gorgeous!
*offers hugs*
I'm sorry you're unhappy with your body...
:/
Thank you, Dugglyn..
That's what people sometimes tell me, but I go to a school where most of the girls are like models. They have beautiful legs and are very thin and beautiful. And I understand that many people are opposed to the thigh gap pandemic, and as a feminist, I am all for accepting one's self- but I'm hypocritical in that same way... I still want that look- with a flat stomach and thighs that don't touch.
:( no one in real like ever tells me I'm pretty.
The only time I hear it is when I'm dolled up in makeup, and in dresses.
But no one ever tells me these things on, say, an off day, or at school.
I honestly can't remember the last time someone said I was pretty.
*Sighs a bit*
It's different. One is words on a screen, and another is someone physically being there for you.
I understand :/
Yeah...
:/
It really sucks that my two best friends (technically three)
Have the stunningly consistent ability to always break my heart. Every day, it's like I can feel it crack a little more, if they do something...
I'm just so fragile, I guess.
But it makes me sick to my stomach sometimes, how weak I am.
:/ even when there are things out of their control, I still feel hurt
