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.

(Trueeeeee)
(Up to much? ^.^)
(Nah. Brother is trying to guilt trip me.)
(Oh *frowns* don't fall for it
Today I had to write a letter
Brother came home with a letter for mum and dad
They had to write to my brother as if he was an evacuee in ww2 and he's not allowed to know and then he has to read it out in class)
(I won't xD
xD that sounds hilarious.)
(I was like 'my dearest Benjamin, mummy and daddy lve you to the moon and back' XD )
Hehe XD
(*glomps Jack* honey bee!)
*is glomped* hehe
(*kisses*

(Teachers idea to do it)
(Anybody online?
*looks around*
*tumbleweed*)
(Where is everyone? :S)
(hey kas :P)
(Hey, Keiron! What are you up to?
And how are you?)
( sorry my int just died I'm just binging things that I've downloaded
i'm brilliant, I'm going to guess you went to bed though :( )
(Me: *puts dressing gown on and moves downstairs*
*lays on settee where the dog is*
Dog: *walks over and untied dressing gown*
*buries in between me and dressing gown and falls asleep whilst ticklin. Me in the process*)
*groans*
I usually wake NOW
I was up until 10:15pm because I assumed we weren't going out, as its Thursday.
How wrong I was. Not once does my mom mention we're going to breakfast
I get up 40 minutes earlier for that day.
So if I said oh I rather pack my lunch the day we don't go oit, and I buy today, should we have said Oh we're going out!
Nooo lets make me guess
only that the wind woke me did I notice my mom getting ready.
And then she claims to have said we were going.
Well if my alarm was set for 5:50 I dont think ya bothered because we randomly change days
(Hi.
*waves*)
Hello.
(Anyone?)
(*waves* Heeeeeeeey.)
(Hello ^.^)
(Hey Chloe :) How you? Rp?)
(I is tired
I can't sorry... Will be working soon and I have to put all my effort into it)
(That's okay :)
Sorry, fell asleep. Will possibly drift off again though.
(*waves frantically*
Hi!!!!!! Where is Dragonaaaaaa!!???&=£÷$^÷*×(₩+

(*glomps Kassy*)
(*is glomped*
:S
How are you???? :3)
(I is calm
You?)
(Booooored. :/
Also wondering what the hell is wrong with people.)
(Why?)
(Sorry for disappearing. I have to go distant.
@Chloe I saw a video of somebody burning a cat. Just... WTF?)
(Somebody.
Burnt.
A CAT?!?!
Tell me the poor creature was already dead..)
(I watched a video and a mum microwaved her child)
(Why do these people exist.)
(Dunno )
O.O micro-waved her child...? Wtf! Should not have checked this before bed...going to have nightmares. Holy shit that's disturbing. It must have been a baby for it to fit...how could someone do that to the thing they have birth to and carried around in their stomach for 9 months?
-closes her eyes and blindly walks away from the dark place- nope. Nopety nope nope.
(The cat was alive.)
(Wow I started writing fanfiction yesterday and it's 2 am, so time-consuming.)
Quickest 9 months ever for Jophiel and Julian. Welcome the little fledgling to the world of New Delphi... In the middle of war... And be careful about the ones trying to harm you... Like Uncle Gabriel and Uncle Michael...
(It was an infant... She did get charged with murder
I watched a video about 17 mums you won't believe exist
That was the worst one, one of the mildest was a mother who was teaching her four year old daughter how to do a sexy pose with a car)
(People?)
(*starts talking to self*)
(*pokes Chloe*
Hooman?)
( It's a sign of intelligence to talk to yourself, at least that's what I tell myself :P )
(its a guaranteed way to have an intelligent conversation)
(*waves*
Hi!
What are y'all up to?)
(Back! *slides in on knees*)
(*high fives the sliding Chloe*
What's up!? :)
(*high fives* just relaxing, listening to the soundtrack to heathers the musical
Hehe it's so twisted XD
How is brother kAs?)
( watching youtube wby? )
(I am fiiiiine.
Just annoyed at gun control laws :///
Which isn't fair, but guns.....
And now I'm making tea and getting excited over this 20p coin.
I am a weird child.)
(Wierd is good!!!!
Hey k!)
(I wanna cosplay!!!!;/&$,%3 (*=&÷&#
:3333)
( hey chloe :D :P

(I am editing the first part of my blog 'witching hour')
(@Keiron I prefer Kas :|
And as Shepard or someone else from Mass Effect.
@ChloeOoh?)
( phone auto corrected it soy :/ )
(I need to add more description... But it's challenging)
( don't even know why it did. I only know one other Kris and I don't talk to him anymore )
( I hate and love writing, I piss myself off when I write )
(@Chloe It takes tiiiime.
If you want me to take a look at it?)
(Well the blog is open, I am not finished editing, but when I do I will re post it)
(@Chloe Okay!)
(*yawns*)
(Anyone ?)
Strictly was so good tonight. Went to the live show. Mel was an amazing host she's so funny. The judges all had their tartan on. The hydro was jam packed. -laughs to self- jam. Pun. Lol... we also went to jam jar for dinner and cocktails which i thought was funny. Keiron you have to go with me it's amazing but the portions are huge. We would literally have to share one. The cocktaila were beautiful. I had a strawberry something first round then a sex on the beach but in here it was called 'sex up the braes' which we had a giggle at. Most of the women there were fauning over gleb. Not me obviously because i have keiron. But my mum was practically drooling. Their first dance was so good. One of my favourite dances this year. Actually probably my favourite. So i voted for that. Then i voted for Jay's pulp fiction jive which was amazing. Len tried on jay's wig ^.^ such a good night. Jay won but i honestly thought Anita should have.
Helen's partner lifted up Mel and gave her a wedgie.And gleb did the 'rabbid crab' or whatever it's called on her. Such a great night.
(Does anyone else occasionally black out after standing up?)
Yeah. If you stand up too quickly you get the weird fucking patterns and feel like fainting
(Hey Gem!
So it isn't just me *thinks*)
It's not that mysterious. When you stand up quickly, the blood leaves your brain due to centrifugal forces. It is the same principle as when pilots black out but on a smaller scale.
(Hey
I dot experience it when I get up fast.. Getting up normally is trouble for me)
(It's like... Soooo quiet)
(Hello Gem)
(And then there was one ... *sighs and sings summer holidays*)
(*dances to self*)
(I love Summer Holiday... )
(*cuddles the barney dog*)
(*acts like a mime stuck in an invisible box*)
((Well hello there))
((^^))
((hmm...I think the absence of reply is caused by an absence of presence. I think I'll take that as a hint. I also think I'll stop talking like this.))
((Goodbye all those not present))
((Wow. I really am weird))
(RAVEN DONT UPU DARE MOVE)
((Umm...Hi....))
((is anybody existing here?))
((I get the feeling that I shouldn't have left...))
((I'll check every few minutes...))
(*glomps*)
(Oops! Sorry! I thought you were another Raven! I didn't realise you're new!!!
*extends hand* I am Chloe, or Inky ^.^ welcomes ! )
(I didn't mean to scare you off!
But this place has been so quiet recently... I need people to talk toooo)
( Hey "Raven" ... :( I've not talked to old raven in months... :( )
(Hello K ^.^ neither have I... I thought she returned .. How is you?)
( kinda sad now... I got kinda close to her over email ... not really tbh but at the same time it's the most amount of emails I've ever sent to someone.)
( wby ? )
(I'm tired
And sort of sad... Waiting for ages for someone to come on... Then a new person comes and I scare them away -_-)
( I doubt you scared them, they prob just haven't checked back yet )
(I glomped a stranger unknowingly
Imagine being glomped by a strange Welsh girl you never met before... Pretty scary)
(Personally I'd be rather scared of a Welsh girl I'd never met before turned up wearing seemingly only a coat and smiling broadly.)
( it's a blog. I doubt they even know what glomp means. )
(Hey Jai!
I thought it was a common word...
I WASNT JUST WEARING A COAT)
(xD No, no. You were wearing a coat AND a maids outfit which was so short the coat covered it entirely.)
(*mutters* I got it at comic con and the lady was so nice..)
((Hello again)
(Hello Raven *.^ I'm sorry about earlier...
I read your profile... You don't have to be lonely... We are all open to talking ^.^ and you can email me at any time ^.^)
(*grins* Its not my fault you were waking around Birmingham in a maids outfit covered by a coat during the german market.
Hey Raven!)
(((maybe I should change my username to Raven 2.0))
((^^))
(It's okay, you can keep your user name as it is if you want to ^.^
I called myself inky and there's this girl here called star inkbright who's nickname was inky XD )
(*aulks* I would've changed but the toilet queues were massive... I froze that day)
(*clears throat*
Goth, awesome. So long as you aren't one of those bitchy ones who think they're better than everyone else.
Bi, one of us. One of us.
..well, one of me. And the other people I know who aren't currently on. *shrugs*
Lonely, WELCOME TO BLOGLAND! YOUR LONELY DAYS ARE OVER!)
(that'd imply some sort of better or worseness so no it's fine, you both have different pictures, can't be that hard )
((ahh the joys of very slowly loading webpages. I probably won't see most of your comments before you've moved on to new conversation topics, which will make talking with me even weirder than usual, which I admit is a rare feat, but still. Hello Inky, hello Silente, nice to be meeting you))
(I know you did Chloe xD God we need to meet up again soon!)
((Hello person who turned up in the meantime also, ^^))
(Hey! Call me Jai :) Pronounced Jay not J-eye like my friends constantly say. Or just Jaimie.
*points at Inky* That's Chloe.
*points at "harry"* That's Keiron.)
(*offers Raven a cookie* here you go Bach ^.^
We must jaiiii! Come to London on Monday XD )
(I could barely afford to go to Birmingham, never mind London!
Are you at Jack's for Easter?)
((ok then. hiya Chloe. hiya harry. hiya jai. *is reminded of primary school*))
((are you talking about comic con?))
(Welcome ti the blogland community! *howls*
I'm not sure Jai... He may come here to Swansea, which would be far for you to travel -_-)
(XD Hiya Raven.
Kinda. Me and Chloe met up in Birmingham last year and it was Comic-Con so she was in a short maids dress xD)
(That would be far for me to travel :/)
(In November, me and my boyfriend Jack went to Birmingham comic con, and then we met with Jai for the first time ^.^
Jack is also a member of the blog, but he isn't on here much...)
(*is sad now* damn
It wasn't that short XD )
(*mutters* should've kept my ouran uniform on)
((^^))
(Not to mention twice as expensive. Distance I'm *mostly* okay with, money.. less so.)
Chloe you looked like that coat was all you were wearing. It didn't even reach your knees! It barely reached midthigh!)
You were just wearing a coat Chloe XD
(True... I would suggest I drive us up to were you are, but my car is so crappy it may break down
But still.. I'm glad I don't have a new car... The amount of bumps I've heard people having...
That's considered quite modest these days... )
((@ Inky, You own a car, and that's a start :)))
(Jack! *glomps but then let's go at that comment and sulks* you weren't complaining... Maybe I shan't wear it again)
(True ^.^ it is good to have for when I pass my test... It just needs some sorting out at the moment... It's nick named the swimming pool for a reason...)
*is glomped* .... Don't drag me into this XD
(*sulks in corner by self*)
(Hey Jacko!
Poor car..
*sighs*
Its a problem. The sooner I buy a bike and get my provisional and then my licence the better. Just need a damn job first.)
*sits with Chloe*
Hey jai, how's you?
(I'm okay, Kinda sleepy.)
(Stares* you're getting a bike?!
*sits on Jack with a full length dress on*
I am off for the night now, nos da and sweet dreams people ^.^
Nice meeting you Raven!)
*so wants a bike*
Nos da Chloe
(Yes, eventually, when I get the money, despite Soph, Ver, Chloe, Grace, Naoise, Kayleigh, dad, etc trying to discourage me from doing so because "cars are safer".)
(Nos da Chloe!)
((*sits in opposite corner and laughs quietly* I am the queen of sitting alone in corners. In terms of comfort they have two walls and the occasional bit of silicone to offer. They are, however, the ideal place to sulk. By now you will have finished reading this pointlessly extensive comment and are thinking, why is she even saying all of this? Well, Inky, I'm applauding your choice of sulking spot and am slowly realising I need to refresh the page a lot more than just once before commenting anything. So yeah. Hello anyone who arrived while I was typing. that happens a lot))
I want a bike... Though probably won't
((I think I will be going now, having officially attempted a conversation today. goodnight/day/appropriate-to-time-zone-greeting))
(*hugs raven*
Cuddly. Welcome to blogland. You'll get the hang of it.
*smiles*
..*blinks* My God.. when did I become the hugging welcomer?!?! What happened to my greeting!!! When did I lose the will to greet people?!?!
*momentary existential crisis*)
Bye raven
Where is the greeting jai? XD
( bye raven, Btw in brackets it's Keiron normally :P unless other wise stated:P Harry is one of my chars
Con: Partially my fault Jai? )
I'm off, bye
(Con: It's hard to kill a necromancer, but i'll leave and you can do your thing again. )
Jai i basically started your tradition on you by keeping you in a cage and singing Frozen to you xD
And about Chloe's dress and Comic-con, i'm really looking forward to wearing the sailir outfit Frank got me for my birthday. I wish he had warned me though because i pulled it out in front of my mum and nana and quickly put it back in but almost everything is accepible at Comic-con. And everyone has probably left by now.
Hello Raven and welcome to blogland. I'm Gemma, 18 from Scotland. Nice to meet you but i didn't really meet you because you're not here but your past comments are good enough.
Just sat and watched the end of bridesmaids and i realised Annie was like me. Completly ruining my life for myself and making myself depressed and alone by pushing everyone away.
Welcome Raven!!!
Also, are bikes not normal to have over yonder....???
And Jai, might I recommend you save you money until March and the come to London around March 31 or April 1 & 2? 😇
...that's a lot closer than I thought it was. O.o !!!!!
And we would totally go and visit wherever you live but we only have a couple days in London so this trip we're staying in London.
( You're not alone baby <3 and as long as I have a say in the matter you never will be ! )
( Hey dug. you going England? )
YES
Well first we're going to Gothenburg, then Copenhagen and then London!
Which will be a lot in a little over a week.
(LONDON PSYCHOLOGY TRIP TOMORROW!
OMG I CANT WAIT!!!!!)
(*dances to barbie girl*)
(Dug, do you have London planned?
May I suggest going to Camden market? ITS BRILLIANT)
(People?)
(good afternoon)
Hy, so, um. It's obviously been forever since I've been on here, and an even longer forever since I was on here consistently, and that's kind of upsetting to me, because I used to have a ton of really close friends on here who I no longer talk to.
So, um. This is me officially leaving, because I don't have time and it's not really my place anymore. Obviously I've been gone for so long that it doesn't really mean anything at this point, but I figured I'd make it official. Sense of closure, and all that.
But it kind of hit me the other day how many friends I've drifted away from, and I don't want that to be the case. I want to stay friends with those of you who I was close with, I want to try to rebuild some of what I had with some of you.
So email me. Please. Especially if we were friends before I had to leave for the first time, almost three years ago.
Anyway, those of you I know, I love you, and those of you I don't, I'm sure I would have. Peace.
(Goodbye Kessy... It was nice k owing you)
((*whistles softly*))
((*sighs*))
((New page))
((I think the tradition is to dedicate new pages))
((Since I'm the only one who seems to be here..))
(cant say i've ever really bothered with it.)
((I dedicate this page to everyone is alone against their preference now.))
((Oh hi person-I've-never-spoken-to-before *extends hand in greeting*))
(thats a pretty big demographic.)
[waves to Kes]
Hello Raven who isn't Raven Astracae or nights.raven! Nice to meet you! And hear hear to your dedication!
((^^))
(Hello guys!!!
Rave, you can dedicate this page ^.^)
( *shakes hand* yo. I saw the previous chat when you first came on. welcome to the ... well, to call it a club or a gang is pretty misleading. so I'll say community instead. welcome to the community. the village. blog village)
((hello person-called-Fabi, it is nice to meet you and it seems there are a lot of ravens coming past this way))
((please note that I don't see comments until I write my own so, um, yep.))
(Oh you've done it ^.^
Hear hear!!!)
((*feels a little awkward*))
(How is everyone?)
Yeah, bird names were really popular here when I started. They still are a bit. :-P
Hey Inky, Bruadar.
@raven (You dont need to. We're all nice here. we're all pretty awkward too, if we're being honest.)
(hello Fabi, Inky)
((@Inky a little bit of ok, mixed in with anxious, a plentiful helping of awkward and perhaps a bit of insecure but otherwise, yes, very ok at the moment. I will also have to write which comment I'm responding to before I comment because of technical hardship. this isn't the easiest way to talk online))
