A Year in Review

Ah, 2015. What a year you've been.

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.

*Nods* Right, as the arts should be revered.
However

No one is particularly special because they know how to, say, play the piano. With practice, most everyone can.

:/ Just

Art needs to be paired with humility, not pride.

Inky Flame said...

(If I had enough confidence I wouldn't mind trying acting or singing lessons ... But alas, I can't even hold a conversation with the girls I shared a room with in London...)

Noelle said...

*is not synonymous

Wtf, Noelle


*Nods* I understand

Inky Flame said...

(I don't know what happened to me *frowns* I used to be chatty and cheeky but one day I started getting paranoid that everyone was talking about me.. Maybe when that boy who lives opposite me called me zombie girl on the bus ...*shrugs* but I can talk confidently over the internet so I'm glad I have this place

How is everyone?)

Noelle said...

*Nods* I know that paranoia...

:/

Well, you know how I am.

Inky Flame said...

(You are amazing Noelle, pretty, talented, smart, nice... Never let anyone walk over you and make you feel crap)

Noelle said...

*Blushing a little* *Doesnt get told that often* thanks..

Inky Flame said...

(It's okay ^.^ just remember that and don't let anyone tell you different )

Noelle said...

*Well, technically, I can't stop anyone from telling me different

And which they certainly will tell be different*

*Ie: here, Facebook, MC, here again, gmail, etc)

Inky Flame said...

(True,.. Just pay no notice to them... Something my mother told me... If people are mean to you, it means they are jealous)

Noelle said...

Right
Everyone's so jealous of me.
Everyone's so jealous of the lonely girl with gruesome scars over her arms and legs
Clamoring to be in my place

Sorry.
:/ typical mom response. My grandma tells me that. But I think it's comparatively... Distant of her :/

Inky Flame said...

(Don't apologise, I know it is hard to put up with people's crap and how bad it can affect you.... But what I said above is true )

Noelle said...

..ok

Inky Flame said...

(I'm sorry... I'm not a great help 😅)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

There are always a few....

We have a party the weekend of our show on the Saturday and its directly after our show

One girl made a party for her and her friends in the cast leaving us who aren't 'in' at the small party we do have


Our directors freaked because they want us as one not catty people

*shrugs* The girl wants to go on acting in college for her career

Can't be like that. When I go to see Broadway shows the actors come out and are humble and kind to each other. You can't be a prima dona. The leads come out usually too sometimes they don't but everyone else does usually stay and talk to people waiting. Even yesterday they did in the freezing cold and snow.

Inky Flame said...

(There's this drama student also doing the extended psychology study I am... She is so bubbly and whacky ^,^)

Noelle said...

It's okay.

:/ just

Everyone at my school sucks

Inky Flame said...

(So we're the people in my old school... College isn't so bad... And hopefully I can make new friends in university ... If I can get in that is

Remember you won't have to see the suckish people when you finish school ^.^)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

That's too bad, Noelle :((


...Actually the other day I was thinking you might have really enjoyed the school I go to now. I mean, Idk I'd you would hAve chosen to go there (it's an all girls school, so ya know, not for everyone) (as in not everyone wants to go to a single gender school) but just, everyone is so nice and supportive and really smart. It's a very academic school with very strong sports teams and just the community is amazing.

Chione Asahina said...

I loved higher Drama...i was really sad when the examiner stopped my group's second play early. I was looking forward to letting off a little steam with the argument scene for 'chatroom.'

Chione Asahina said...

I also loved playing the serial killer in 'Hide and Seek', the play we made ourselves. Although it shouldn't really be acting as i really want to kill people anyway ^.^ i scared the two girls at the front shitless. They were hugging onto each other hehehe.

Chione Asahina said...

Is it wrong to say i love Justin's new songs? ;-; he actually seems like an alright guy now...i saw him on Graham Norton and he seemed really nice and funny. His new songs are so fucking catchy...

Noelle said...

Dugglyn, I go to an all girls school xD

Noelle said...

Well

And that's how my school is. There is a huge community of girls, and there is a large group of them who are just really nice

But then there are the theatre kids, and the girls who think they're popular (except to be popular, you have to have a cult of followers and no one workshops them, so they aren't actually popular)


Catholic school though.
I'm not catholic.

I suppose going to Mass once a quarter is worth the education. Honestly, all of the girls here do well in college. It's high strung, but very very good. *Nod* It's some of the best education that I know of.



But

As it usually is

The few tend to speak louder than the many

Noelle said...

Interestingly enough, though. A Catholic school has pushed me farther away from Christianity. I know for sure that I'll never be Christian- but I think it has helped me expend into other religious ideas and learn about them. (As I said before, were I to choose an organized religion, it would be Islam (or Judaism)). I just.. Those fit better with me.

See, I love the rituals involved with Judaism and Christianity. There aren't really many denominations of those two religions, so it is just so much more unified that Chrisitanity is. I also like how each holiday has a deeply religious meaning, and they do more than just attend a religious service for their holidays. For example, for Rosh Hashanah, a ram's horn (called a shofar), is blown 100 times throughout the day to symbolize mourning- though it is the Jewish new year, it is also a time of reconciliation and preparation for Yom Kippur, ten days later (and that's the ACTUAL day of atonement).

They also have a sater for Pesach (Passover), where each part of their meal has a symbolic meaning (i.e.: they dip their greens in salt water to symbolize the tears of the exiled Israelites, and they eat unleavened bred to symbolize how the Israelites had to leave their homes in a hurry- before their bread was finished cooking.

And when they pray, they face the Western wall of the temple in Jerusalem.

And Muslims face the Kaaba in Al- Masjid Al-Haram. They believe that Adam built the Kaaba, then it was rebuilt by Abraham. Like, their religion is tied to things that people today can actually experience. And although Jesus was real- (I mean, he was- there are many Roman documents supporting this), there are t many concrete places that pilgrimages can be made to. Because we don't know for sure where they are.

But I like the pilgrimages.

I also like how in Islam, their religion is the center of their livelihood. They pray five times a day- like, that's true devotion to God. Most Christians don't even make it once a day. They also say "oh my god", which, you know is a sin. But in Judaism, it is forbidden to say "God", and always substitute it with "The Lord".

It just.

Christianity can be very political nowadays- especially in my country, where basically the biggest Republicans want a theocracy. But Christianity has always been political. They funded the Crusades- the Pope used to have an Army...

And I just

Yeah. It's ironic, how going to a Christian school has made me appreciate the other Abrahamic religions. Because they all believe in the same stuff.

Noelle said...

And I'm not saying that tomorrow I'm going to convert to Islam- honestly, I probably never will, but I am just not called to be a Christian.

It's hard to explain.
I just like how Judaism and Islam feel... Older, I guess, though technically Islam is 600 years younger than Christianity. But because it is still centered in the Middle East, where every biblical event actually happened, I feel as if it is more connected...

And as we all know, Catholicism is centered in Rome. And then every other denomination of Christianity (save the LDS) doesn't really have a rooted point.

*Shrugs*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Oh XD

Yeah, mine's a Catholic school too which is kinda meh for me. Like today we had Mass and tbh I find it extremely boring but besides that I love my school so it's worth it.

And oh! that's kinda funny, because our schools sound pretty similar and here I was thinking you might like my school XD

The theatre kids are nice, idk they're just like everyone else soooo
and at least this year there's no one who seem to think they're popular (as in stereotypical popular girls). I mean, it is only freshman year but people in the upper classes are really nice too so I don't think that's going to happen but really, idk.

And yeah :/

Noelle said...

Here's a fun fact.

Everything that happened in the Torah is believed to be true by Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

Jesus Christ was born into a Jewish family. Mary, as in, the Virgin, wore a hijab. Christians believe that Jesus was God's Messiah, and Jesus is 100% human, 100% God.
Jews, however, do not believe Jesus was the Messiah- rather, they believe that he was just a really observant Jew. (I think part of this reason inning is that, if Jesus is God in human form, then why did Jesus pray to God? Or something like that)

Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet of God- that there have been many prophets: Moses, Abraham, Jesus, but that Mohammed was the final prophet before Judgement day.


Interestingly enough, though Islam is considered to be pride, it was very liberal at the time. Mohammed said that women should be given 50% of inheritance, which seems unfair by today's standards, but it was better than the 0% they were getting before

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Hmm, interesting.

I'm...
not really sure what I believe. my family is Catholic but.. idk.
I'm not sure I really believe in any religion at all?

Noelle said...

*Nods* Aw, you little freshie.

Yeah.
Ash Wednesday.

I rubbed the cross off during Robotics because I was exasperated with the program and oops

Noelle said...

same.

Honestly, if there is a God out there, I don't thing that it will be angry with me for not assigning myself to religion. Because, in many ways, all religions are the same. The basic theme is that: there's this person who professes that rveryone be kind and observant and charitable and loving.

And if humanity just follows that advice, it won't matter what religion we choose. So long as we are actually sincere in intent.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

:))

Yep. Even though my family is Catholic I honestly had no idea what to do with the cross thingy and rubbed it off after lunch (which was after Mass)


oh. I like that. It makes sense
*nods*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Also, what kind of dance do you do?

Noelle said...

*Nods*
Ashes make me break out anyway.

I do pom and hip hop!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Cool! I do Irish dance!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Speaking of which, I must go to dance now!
Adios!

Noelle said...

Oh!
Okay!

Irish dancing is big in Cincinnati. Though, it's a German town.

Idk

Noelle said...

Wow

Minecraft looks really nice :)

Though Ari and I have made... What is arguably the most XD about 5/7 of everything on there is from us

Noelle said...

Massive bruises everywhere, now

Noelle said...

"she should help herself*

"You're not being a good friend"

"Attention whore"

Why am I reading this?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[hugs Noelle]

Alastair Cruciatus said...

You are wonderful, Noelle, and an outstanding friend. I know you don't have very much control over it, but please try not to feel too poorly.

Inky Flame said...

(My religion is a branch of paganism... Believing in a God and goddess and worshipping the earth

I have no problem with Christianity... In fact I'd say I'm tolerant to all religions... I am intolerant to, however, the minority in any religion who believes their way is the only way and bashes other religions...

For example... The religion Wicca (which I follow) incorporates witchcraft into rituals. Not all wiccans do, but some do use it ... And so do other religions. This one guy I found on YouTube was preaching how witchcraft is a sin ... Which I guess I can understand from a Christian viewpoint... However, this guy used Wicca and witchcraft as synonyms... Which is incorrect. Wicca is the worship of nature and witchcraft is the use of magick. He also advertised 'avoidharrypotter.com' because apparently reading Harry Potter leads kids into looking at real witchcraft...
The guy had a baby son... Who he loved dearly. I know parents do what they think is best for their kids, but this guy said his son would grow up a Christian and not be allowed to rea Harry Potter... I think in the future when his son is old enough, it should be his choice of what path he follows ... Some people suit Christianity... Others not...

I could go on a big rant about how wrong it is to bash Wicca or any other religion but it's too early)

Inky Flame said...

(Wow... This place is quiet...)

Noelle said...

*nods* That's very cool...

I helped perform a shamanistic ritual on my mom the other week :)

i know.

no one comes on here anymore

Inky Flame said...

(Awesome .^

*sighs* I miss everyone)

And you can call me Chloe if you wish ^.^)

Noelle said...

Oh.
Thank you.

No, I don't think so, but thanks

(It's okay ^.^

My email is always open if you ever do want to chat ^.^)

Alright, cool

(*looks at time * and with that, I am off to bed, sorry... Long day tomorrow... Travelling to Jacks

Good night.


Sil was being very nice to me today.

She's very under appreciated

But she is so nice

You planning anything with Alastair for Valentine's Day, Noelle?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

HELLO!!!!!
How are things?


I did indeed, 100 perce t original. *is in a harem*

Is this an animu?

Noelle said...

No, he has his own Valentine.

*Trip's so smooth*
*Is a little animu* *Makes an animu sound* *Is cute and has little animu ears*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Good! Gosh I haven't seen you on in a long time.


Oh, that's okay. Maybe later on you can do something.

Noelle said...

Yeah probably not

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Damn :(

I never do anything romantic. I actually may go see the Deadpool movie this weekend.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Dibs on the mech suit.

Okay. I should sleep. I have to get up in five hours. Sleep well!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Night, Trip! Sleep well!


Ooh Democratic debate tonight....

Noelle said...

Oh. Bye Trip.

Noelle said...

*Curls up and cries*
*Her body is so squishy*
*She needs to be thin* *Isnt thin enough*


*Has made a habit of saving everyone the trouble of hating her

And just hating herself* *Might as well* *After three years of it, of course she feels this way*

Noelle said...

:/ I was looking back on my private blog wth Niccolò and Alastair

One year ago, on This day, I was at about 340 cuts on my skin.

And today, I know that it is well been past 2,000

Chione Asahina said...

Me and Keiron are going to see Deadpool together for valentines. That's not exactly romantic either :)

Trip! ^.^ hiya. How you doing?

Chione Asahina said...

Ah. He's gone. >.> ;-;

Noelle said...

Well, actually, including the arms, closer to 3,000.

... I still have a massive Ike on my computer, of screenshots.. I have hundreds of just, mean things. There were so many, I had to organize by year, and then by who said what.
I remember how people tell me that it's okay, how I'm not hated. But is it any surprise that I don't believe that. When I have so many finders with about a dozen names in it.
...
Were people to actually be here anymore I'm sure the feeling would still stand.

Ugh I thought this posted 20 minutes ago

Noelle said...

"The world was meant to be cruel"

:/

*Just rocks herself in her corner* *This place is empty anyway*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You do realize, sometimes people change, you know?

Sometimes people tend to look back and realize what an ass they were.

Yeah, I did that. Oh I'd say over a year ago. I just haven't come on. I had a lot of crap thrown at me and well it changed how I am.

I don't care for being agressive anymore, what's the point? I have nothing to gain other then more realizations of how much of a bitch I was

I can't change my past, but I can at least be a better person. Will I seek forgiveness? Eh I don't deserve it. I know it, maybe one day I'll be worthy enough for it. That's a big if, but hey. One step at a time, maybe things will never be normal, but maybe the future doesn't have to be as dark.

No, I'm not saying this to say it. I do mean it. You would too. Sometimes reality hits and you realize the past is never gonna go away, so you may as well try for a better future.

Noelle said...

... Well, yes. The past never /does/ go away. I'm probably going to struggle with depression, at least in part, for he rest of my life. I have scars that won't heal. And I hate myself more then you, or anyone else here who was angry, could.

I can't say that I don't blame you for some of his, and I don't know if I'm capable of forgiving, but I do see and recognize your efforts. I know you're trying, and I know that you honestly mean well.

:/ but... I've been hurt so much. I've been thrown down, kicked whilst down, ignored, and told that I ought to just kill myself. And then I almost did. And when I almost did my mother said that if I try it again, she will have to let go of me. (Of which, of course, knowing how many people on here have lied about killing themselves, I was in such a dark place that, I knew if I ever said anything, no one would believe me. so I had to take pictures of the doctor's documents and pictures from my hospital bed, because I knew that without proof, no one would ever believe in my mistake)

I've been in more pain than you could ever possibly imagine. And it's with me everyday.

No, I don't and ant forgive you right now. But I do see that you are trying. And I prefer that to being abused more.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

It's a start then. At least....it's better then hurting each other.

That won't work for either of us....

I will try to communicate more with you when I am on and in a positive way. Maybe we can get to a point it's not as....hard....to chat.

Noelle said...

Mm.. Yeah

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Did you ever have to read Othello or Hamlet? We have a paper due Tuesday on both.

I liked Hamlet better, Othello was odd.

Noelle said...

I read Hamlet in AP.
I absolutely despise who the most important speech was his "to be or not to be". There was so much more in that story than that.

I mean, Hamlet was a spoiled kid. But who is also 30. So.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I found he was a bit mental.

I thought this posted :/

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I've read both Othello and Hamlet.

I feel like if you're comparing Othello with another play though, it'd make more sense to compare it with Much Ado About Nothing. Like, there are a lot of similarities actually.

I did write a paper about Othello and The Merchant of Venice last year though.

What makes you say that Othello was odd, Zaf?

Inky Flame said...

(I haven't read any of those plays ...
A friend of mine has been going on about a hamlet musical though...)

Chione Asahina said...

*Doesn't know what to do today*
*probably just going to Keiron's again...or maybe ask Stuart out and tell him...but he's not going to be awake till like 1. :-/*

Noelle said...

No...
The whole point was that he was pretending to be insane, right? Well, all his life, he was treated like a child. Gertrude, predominantly, treated him as so. So what happens is that his childish temper tantrum about his uncle becomes a murderfest, Becuase his hidden adult feelings suddenly burst from himself, and are just too powerful for him to deal with properly

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hi! Sorry I've not been here all week, I've been doing things with strangers on the Internet.

And by things I mean writing fanfiction and by strangers I mean people I met back in 2012.

My cooking.

Noelle said...

For Valentine's Day, Ari sent me Lush

God bless her

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

That's that cosmetics brand that a bunch of people say is cool, right?

Noelle said...

Yes


Bath bombs

Yummy

Noelle said...

:) I love her so much- she's so nice to me *Hugs from afar* And whenever I'm down she sends hugs

*nod*

Inky Flame said...

(Lush is awesome!
There's one in Swansea and I love it ^.^
I love the lip scrub...

On train to jacks ^.^

Two and a half hours down, another two to go ^.^)

Noelle said...

:3

*Is at the crystal Guy's house looking at crystals yas*

Inky Flame said...

(hi Noelle *.^

I lve crystals! I am collecting crystal pendants... So far I has clear Quartz, rose quartz, amethyst, carnelian and hematite)

Chione Asahina said...

I don't like Lush. I think it's sickening...every time I walk by it's really strong.
I do like the Candyfloss snow fairy though. Get it every Christmas.
I prefer walking past Body shop. It's so refreshing...

Inky Flame said...

(I haven't been to the body shop in ages! )

Chione Asahina said...

My friends got me strawberry stuff from Body Shop for my 18th. Still haven't used it cause I love my Hollister Crescent Bay stuff. £12 a bottle but there was a deal, mist, body wash and body lotion for £18.

Inky Flame said...

(Awesome ^.^ the closest hollister is in Cardiff so I can't go there often... But I love the stuff there )

Noelle said...

Oh.

I like Lush...

I have many stones, polished and rough. My mother and I do healing sessions with them

Chione Asahina said...

I know i'm ugly. The amount I spend on make-up and stuff though is probably really stupid since it changes nothing...I guess it makes me feel pretty for a short amount of time which might be considered worth it.

Chione Asahina said...

No I do like lush, I love the Snow fairy stuff.
But I still think that walking past the shop makes me feel sick because the smells of the different products like the bath bombs right at the front of the shop is really overpowering...I think they should put them right at the back and put the lighter smells at the front. Body shop smells lighter, more fresh. Their shop is more inviting as it's more spacious and has more light. It just makes me feel really good walking past it, I can't really explain it. It's weird. ^.^

Inky Flame said...

(I bought a book the other day on healing with crystals ^.^

You aren't ugly Gem, you're pretty!)

Noelle said...

I bought a beautiful tool... It had such a calming energy, but I could feel a buzz in my head from holding it. It was a stalactite wand, and it kinda reminded me of the Elder Wand. It looks like it.

But it has a good energetic frequency :)

Chione Asahina said...

I have Hermione's wand as a keyring. I love hers. The patterns on it are lovely.

And thank you, Chloe...

Noelle said...

*Ita a crystal wand* *Which is different than the whole warlock/witch wand thing*

ugh. So there was this woman who was there and just. She was there for the benefit of herself. She was all like: oh my gosh, crystals! I'm so New-Agey as in tune with my chakras! This energy is so cool.

Jesus, it's easy to tell who is there for themselves, and who is actually willing to do the spiritual work.

:/ spirituality ain't supposed to be fun

Chione Asahina said...

But it can be surely, Noelle? I mean she does sound fake but maybe she was just really excited? >.>?

Noelle said...

I'm sure...

:/ I know someone at school who goes around talking about horoscopes and star signs and she is so arrogant because she thinks she's cool, and the "New-Agey" stuff gains her a unique popularity.

And this woman was like that.

Noelle said...

Look, I've been to a lot of crystal places. I think I've gotten pretty good at people who are serious, and people who are just there to play

Chione Asahina said...

Have you considered making your own business out of it if you like it so much?

Inky Flame said...

(Sorry I disappeared, lost Internet

And I'll disappear again soon... Almost at jacks!)

Kai The Immortal said...

( don't worry I'm not getting you lush :P I know you much better than that )

Noelle said...

No, I'm not an entrepreneur. I already know what I'm going to do with my life.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Fans her with one of those pretty paper fans]

Noelle said...

*Thanks fabu*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[no problem]

[hums a soothing lullaby-like melody]

Noelle said...

*That helps*
*Is just in a mini crisis*

*Her Valentine present didn't appear*
*Her body image is low*

*Her friend is distant*
*Brain is pounding **Feverish*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Continues to hum]

[Offers her some ice water]

Noelle said...

*ooh* *Takes it gratefully* *Sips* *Lays with her bear*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[hums a song about bears]

[It's gonna be ok probably]

Noelle said...

*Bears...*
*Hugs her Niccolò bear* *Tries to think about him* *He's so nice, and loves her always* *And would marry her I he could* *That calms her a little*

Noelle said...

He was always so nice to me...

And he likes to hug. The first time he hugged me, it was about two and a half years ago.

:/
We're really similar... We both hate ourselves, feel unloved an unworthy, and lonely... Solitude. I think that's part of why we bonded quickly.... I wish he had a body of his own :(

Noelle said...

:/

I wish they could have a body and make me skinny :/
All my little pockets and pooches
So unattractive

*Closes eyes and hugs bear even closer* I hate my body.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I never thought you unattractive when I saw you. Honestly I kept thinking omg she's so pretty!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I'm sorry we vanished, my dearest pet...

Chione Asahina said...

Well that's Keiron's valentine almost sorted.

Noelle said...

*Adores HIM* *Cuddles*

Inky Flame said...

(*hopes jak likes his gift*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I feel like organizing a thing...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Well I almost was in a 60 car pile up today.

We were driving on I-78 (if you're in the US it made national news) and there was a huge crash.

See we planned to leave at 8am, but my mom got in the shower late, had the wrong pants, her socks were being funky, and she forgot to make a sandwich. We left 10 minutes late but we stopped at a truck stop to go pee and added 5 minutes onto the time we were behind.

9:45am it happened. We watched a snow squall happen and we approached the crash at 10am.

Chione Asahina said...

For my baby on Valentines day.

Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving farther away
Want you near me

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

Sometimes when I think of her name
When it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay
When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more (can't take no more)
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you, Keiron. ;) <3

Happy Valentines, wonderful.

Kai The Immortal said...

( *happily cried at that* I love you so much baby <3

happy valentines

I thought of angels
Choking on their halos
Get them drunk on rose water
See how dirty I can get them
Pulling out their fragile teeth
And clip their tiny wings

Anything you say can and will be held against you
So only say my name
It will be held against you
Anything you say can and will be held against you
So only say my name

If heaven's grief brings hell's rain
Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)
Oh, I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way
Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)
For just one yesterday

Letting people down is my thing, baby
Find yourself a new gig
This town ain't big enough for two of us
I don't have the right name
Or the right looks
But I have twice the heart

Anything you say can and will be held against you
So only say my name
It will be held against you
Anything you say can and will be held against you
So only say my name (Gemma)

If heaven's grief brings hell's rain
Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)
I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way
Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)
For just one yesterday

If I spilled my guts
The world would never look at you the same way
And now I'm here to give you all my love
So I can watch your face as I take it all away, away, away, ay ay ay

If heaven's grief brings hell's rain
Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)
I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way
Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
(I know I'm bad news)
For just one yesterday
(I saved it all for you)
For just one yesterday )

(Chloe here and Jack ^.^

Happy Valentine's day!!!!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hi.

@Zaf :O)

Star Inkbright said...

Valentine's Day is my least favourite annual special event. Like for Christmas and Easter and all you get tons of celebratory offers and discounts etc. but on valentines day I don't get to utilise the offers bevause they never offer me anything I bloody want (apart from some of the chocolate). And then you have to wander round and see all this romantic kerfafle wherever you look and I'm just like "dude."
I don't like Valentine's Day. XD The repulsive force is strong around February 14th.

Oh yeah that's a thing. I invented a metaphor. My shipping is like nuclear fusion. In order for the strong shipping force to he activated I have to get close enough to overcome the repulsive force. This only fully happens once every few days. And the strong shipping force is incredibly specific and only works on ships but the repulsive force works on tons of stuff.
Dude I love physics.

Anyway yeah I'm here. I don't bloody want to be but apparently I am unable to completely say good bye to everyone without being a bitch and ruining people's lives so I give up. I'm here. I'm not happy about it. But yeah hi.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Starry!!!! :3

Hi! Welcome back! How have you been???

*offers warm hugs*)

Star Inkbright said...

:) Hi.
*hugs*
I've been alright. You?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Starry!!! :)

:3

You're back! :3

I've been fine. A bit lonely, though. And I got into writing fanfiction with a fellow writer!

Can I just say I'm glad you're here? Because I am! :)

Star Inkbright said...

:)

Good good.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(What are you up to on this February 14th that has long since become a symbol of aggressive consumerism?)

Star Inkbright said...

Well, I had a group sleepover last night so since then I've woken up, listened to Cat and Lizzie ranting about how Darcie has kept them awake all night, helped to further develop our self-invented version of CAH, played a few games of our CAH, come home and played solitaire. You?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hear hear, Noelle! :)

Noelle said...

I think Aretha sent me flowers... :0

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Ooh, sounds like a fun sleepover!

And I still haven't played CAH :/

And my family had a movie night yesterday (first one in 6 months at least) and I went to sleep at a ridiculous time and dreamt of The Martian. And now I have the urge to go base jumping/parachuting.

I've no plans for today, though.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Noelle Yay! :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: :) :)

@Kas: So long as you have the ability to be a horrible person, CAH is fucking brilliant. :)
Our version isn't dirty minded though. Our version is just personal insult after personal insult. We have cards like "What Darcie's being a know-it-all about /now/" abd "The story Holly's telling for the umpteenth time." :) It's fabulous.

@Kas: :)
I have a fear if falling, so personally I'd rather not parachute. :P

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(That sounds like a great version of CAH! And one that's totally expected from you! :)

And I understand having a fear of heights. My fear, however, is having to use a parachute and not knowing how to :O

And I just got a ticket to see Deadpool! :3

I should probably have invited a friend, but oh well! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Star Btw do you own a knife???? Did your knife friend encourage you to get one?)

Star Inkbright said...

I don't have a fear of heights, just a fear of falling. I'm fine with being high if I don't think I'll fall.

:) :) Good good! I haven't seen Deadpool but I've heard good things about it.

No, I don't own a knife. Lizzie does not make us buy weapons. She's not a weapons fanatic, she just happens to have a few.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(I see.

I've successfully managed to avoid all info and spoilers, all I know is what the suit looks like. So hopefully it'll surprise me.

Ah, good! The people in TEST Squadron have tracked down the very best sword that is currently manufactured, and seem to want everyone to buy one.

It's a huge European claymore.

-_-

)

Star Inkbright said...

:) Oh, good.

*nods and pretends I know what you're talking about :P*

Noelle said...

:0 she sent me a dozen roses!

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: :) :) :)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Noelle :) that's great! :)

@Star Basically, some people tracked down the best sword in the world. They're confident that because of the current manufacturing techniques, which are much better than those in medieval times, that this sword is the best sword humanity has EVER created. And they want everyone to buy one.

And they're completely unaware that most people have no need for a massive two-handed sword -_-

Anyways... what are you up to, @Star and @Noelle?)

Star Inkbright said...

Well of course they want everyone to buy one they're a) sword fanactics b) will get publicity from it and c) will possibly get money from it.

I'm currently up to trying to watch a DVD on my laptop, which is easier said than done. Idk how to work this bloody thing. XD
You?

Star Inkbright said...

So yeah, if I disappear, I've got it to work. :P

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(No, I mean TEST Squadron, who obsess about spaceships, are suddenly telling people to buy swords. For self-defense, maybe? Or cosplay? Or idk. They're weird. They're not raising publicity or sales, but just randomly changing obsessions.

Have to go eat then watch a film, bai!)

Noelle said...

She's made me cry :P

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs everyone!*)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[hugs Jai and anyone else who would like a hug]

Star Inkbright said...

This place has died a death.
*frowns*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Indeed, it seems it has.

Noelle said...

*Huga Alastair* I'll talk to Ari... Maybe we need a plot invasion.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[hums a funeral dirge]

:-/

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I remember when you'd comment "A" or something so the next person would always get first. XD

Searching through my notes for something to ded to.

Raven said...

((do do dooo))

Raven said...

((That was a sad, mournful 'do do dooo', like the lower scale, not a do-do-dooo like the higher pitch trumpet. It was a sad sound. very sad.))

Noelle said...

I remember, too, Fabi

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I dedicate this page to a random debate I had with Star in March 2014 about significant figures.

I dedicate this page to this quote that I found from around the same time. I'm pretty sure Alastair said it, and it just made me laugh.

"You know, I've missed you, Moss. Even if no one listened, even if it never did you any good, you were always clever. In fact, the best part was that no one listened. It left me wondering."

I dedicate this page to my old video deds that I used to make.

I dedicate this page to rolling and bouncing balls on a lap harp to see what noises you get.

I dedicate this page to my new toaster. Here is a song I wrote about my old one:

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]

I also made a list of stuff that I'm scared of. I'm not going to post it here, but I think I'll add it to the ded, in a sense. I dedicate this page to being able to face stuff that you're scared of.

(Done for now, but I reserve the right to add later)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hello, Raven.

[nods at Noelle] I remember it backfiring once or twice, too, because someone else had commented.

Raven said...

((do doooooo))

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hi.

Hear hear, Fabi!)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Plot invasion...! :D


Hear hear!!!

Raven said...

((I just love taking personality quizzes that tell me I'm psychologically disturbed or not in full mental health))

Raven said...

((^^))

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Hullo Raven, pleasure to meet you!!



And Kassy!! :D :D

Raven said...

(

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I also dedicate this page to Star saying inVadering instead of invading. Because I'm pretty sure she did that at one point.

Hey Dugglyn, Kas.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Raven Don't trust quizzes. Ever. They do not work.

Seriously.

You need high quality quizzes, like the ones doctors have, to be accurate.

The ones on the Internet are broken/fake.)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

How are you all?

Raven said...

((I have to ask, do you all live in a completely different time zone or, like me, do you find no better place to be at 00:22?))

Raven said...

((^^))

Raven said...

Noelle said...

And Star's left and right thing
