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.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 3912 Newer› Newest»(I have two essays to do. I sat tonight and wrote out the questions. That's it. I'll start my HR one properly tomorrow. It seems pretty straight forward.
My marketing one is a bit more complicated.
And yeah Kassy we could text.)
Omg Dean....
SEASON 3
He bloody keeps dying I freaked first now I keep laughing each time.
Dog, car, gun...
I love that episode!! Sam is so funny cause at first he's like oh my god! And then he gets it and it's one of the funniest ones
(Hey guys!)
(Spoilers much...
I'm actually going to watch it at some point so can you not?)
(when have I never replied during class hehe)
Sorry, we've been talking about it for ages now, I didn't think anybody was interested cause nobody's shown an interest before
( well I've been talking but I'm fully caught up so I don't say much
That's the French mistake, brilliant little ep)
(*sighs* this work is a drag... But it'll give me free pints in uni hopefully...)
( ;-; everyone keeps disappearing when I comment then I leave coz of it then y'all come back as if you're avoiding me lol)
(pints or points)
To be fair though it was kind of obvious they were going to say something about it cause it was like 'Dean season 3' ..... I'll put a warning if I'm going to say anything though :) like....
SPOILERS FOR SUPERNATURAL IN THIS COMMENT DONT READ
(Both actually... If I get an A its 60 more Ucas points
But the research I'm doing is uni level work, which isn't part of the actual syllabus for A level... So when I start doing it in uni, I would know what to do and people will be coming to me for help cause they will need help... Hence free pints
An ex student emailed my lecturer telling her that he hadn't had to pay for any drinks yet cause he did this project)
Sweet lol
(I know XD
But this project is massive
The bloody lit review was a nightmare...
I had to research ten studies and four theories that had to do with my investigation. However, loads of sites you had to pay money to access papers)
I've said it before and I'll say it again.... Fuck that shit... But then again I'm used to being paid for showing up )
( I wish I could nope out of it but my project would've suffered
I managed (just about) to find stuff)

(my sister wanted to order a pizza in the last hour of 2015 to say when it came after midnight 'but I ordered it last YEAR')
(Chloe, if it's snowing there there's a chance that we'll get snow soon.
I told my mum it was going to snow a few days ago and she looked at me funny.)
(if we do have snow, i wont get much... I don't live far from the sea)
Hi. If you find me scattered across the dynamite forest kindly bury me somewhere peaceful. Perhaps where Ravel is.
Supernatural may kill me

(Sure. Find where we were for me please ;)

( Harry:* muttering sums*
Rich : * sits and waits for more questions *)
I think I'm gonna be sick....And I have a strong stomach.
(.... ?)
I'm watching Supernatural and I mean I have a very strong stomache.....but what I watched....I almost puked thank god I haven't eaten in about 3 hours....
( yes.... What happened?)
(Bon soir mes copains!)
-The bell for Lunch goes-
Mr Smith: i'll ask you the questions after Lunch. You should help each other revise.
Amy: -gets up with her jotter-
You coming, Harry?
(Hey Jai)
SEASON 4 SPOILER ALERT
DEAR FREAKIN GOD I THOUGHT THEY WERE MESSING WITH ME
HOLY HELL CASTIEL IS AN ANGEL!!!
An ANGEL!!!!
*faints*
Rich: *scoots back in his chair and takes his lunch and walks away *
Harry: Yup right behind you. *runs to her *
( that's what made you sick...the scene with dean.... Well then....ifeel like a sociopath)
CAS!!!! I FREAKIN LOVE CAS!!!!
Amy: -Holds onto him tightly-
-giggles-
How are you?
(Damn when you mentioned Angel i thought of daniel at the lake in Fallen...
-drools-)
I don't know I'm not sure to like or be creeped out by Cas.
Still on the loving Sam side here
Harry: * holds her tightly* I'm better now I'm with you.
(easy girl....)
I kept staring going: That's an angel....oh my god that's an angel....
Then I fell off the couch.
(Keiron if you had read Fallen you would know what i was talking about.)
Amy: Awww. You're so cute.
-kisses his cheek-
Want me to help you with your tables?
-Stands in the queue-
( I know....)
Harry: *blushes* ... Maybe... *kisses her back*
(*can't sleep*
*I'm waking up at 6:45 tomorrow and I CAN'T SLEEP*
*has tried reading and staying still and counting and alphabeting*
*and can't sleep*)
(I kinda took Westly from Daniel and Cam is the same as in the books i think...idk which is which. Would Chi go for the good guy or the bad guy? Probs the bad guy which is Cam. Hmm...)
Amy: -Grins- we can do them together.
-gets two ham sandwiches and strawberries-
(I would suggest a warm bath but it's a bit too late for that...warm milk?
Listening to music?)
At everyone: Damn it! What do you do when you're currently writing a novel and someone distracts you with the idea of human-enslaving unicorns? That sounds like sooooo much fun to write.
(I'm not allowed to the kitchen at this time so warm milk isn't an option.
And music always wakes me up more :/
I'm going to be so dead tomorrow morning.
Maybe I should do art if I can't sleep.. pull an all nighter and get the legs done..
Or maybe I shouldn't.)
( that's if thingy doesn't happen
Had a thing for a guy in a book once...)
Harry: - grins and gets a Panini- c'mon then, lets eat first.
Rich: - eats his frube-
(*smothers self with pillows*)
(No wonder Keiron!!!! We always imagine the love interest the way we imagine and they're hot as fuck.
And Jewel, write a short story instead of writing it into the actual novel. That way you can still write it.
I don't think that's a good idea sid but if you're going to stay up you may aswell do work?)
Amy: -goes and sits down with him-
-opens her book whilst eating her sandwhich-
Ok. What's 9 times 7?
( he didn't Live up to you. )
Harry : 97? *he says mouth full of Panini *
Amy: No. 63. What's 7 times 5?
(* sigh* .... -hugs her tightly - I love you)
Harry: *shrugs* 75?
(I love you too baby. -cuddles tightly and kisses passionatly-
It's out one year anniversary soon <3)
Amy: No. Harry count it with your hands.
-shows him-
5 -holds up one finger-
10 -holds up two-
-Goes on till 6-
How many?
Our*
( - cuddles tightly and kisses passionately back, kisses her neck - I know:D I Can't wait.... It'll be the first of many)
Harry: 30?
Amy: and 7 times 5?
(Yes it will ^.^ <3)
Harry: I just need to add a finger right?
( <3 got plans for it ? Hehe)
Amy: Yup.
(What would you want to do for it?)
Harry: *adds finger* 35?
( go out on a full day date restaurant and stuff?)
Guys Castiel is the best
I love how he takes no crap.
(Yeah baby :) where?)
Amy: You got it! Keep practising. I'll be right back.
-takes her other sandwhich and strawberries-
( I'll have a look around see if I think you would like it... Unless you have a suggestion?)
You got it baby! * his smile falls when she leaves but continues using his fingers and looks amazed when he checks the card and sees he's right*
Amy: -Sits next to Richard-
Hey. Have you had lunch yet?
(Amy*)
(No not really. Obviously thinking Toni Macaroni but it's not that fancy...maybe Glasgow?)
Rich: I had a frube....
Amy: -Sighs-
That's not enough.
-gives him her sandwhich and opens the strawberries-
-eats one-
You'll get one when you've ate the sandwhich.
*stares*
Dean Winchester was born one day before me.
Oh my good god.
And even freakier?
Sam is the same age as my brother (go off of the current year)
Rich: It's enough... I gave my brother the last apple.
( was thinking that too)
( should we sleep?)
(If you want to sleep and stop it here that's good.)
Amy: Please?
I don't want you going hungry...
(yeh. I'll reply in morning ok baby <3)
(Yeah :) Goodnight baby. I love you <3)
( still makes me smile every time when I see something like that especially on here. ... Good morning all , I love you too baby<3)
Rich: *smiles* you really don't have to keep doing this, it must cost you a lot. *takes it so as not to offend then tries to eat it slowly as if he wasn't begging for it* this is delicious *he says wiping drool from the side of his mouth *
Amy: it's just a ham sandwhich. And i dont mind...
-eats another strawberry-
How are you getting on with the math questions?
(Awww ^.^)
Rich: You might not think it much, but I couldn't afford it *smiles whole heartedly taking another massive bite*
They are quite easy compared to my brothers.
Amy: That's why i get it for you.
And i had to help Harry with his. He's finally getting it.
-has another Strawberry-
(I'm craving strawberries now... goddammit)
( awww baby... Guess there's none there?)
Rich: Yeh well I need to help my brother and mum, so I had to learn faster. Your little boyfriend will have had everything given to him so he's surprised he actually has to do work.
Amy: I don't think that's true...maybe his mum just didn't start teaching him...
How old is your brother?
Rich: 11 he's in first year. My mum didn't teach me, that's no excuse.
(going for shower brb)
(Ok baby ^.^)
Amy: Why do you not like him, if you don't mind me asking?
Rich: My brother or Harry?
Amy: Harry...
Do you not like your brother either?
Rich: Who likes their siblings? ... I don't like Harry as he's lucky ... He gets what he wants even if he's stupid.
Amy: But that's not his fault if he's lucky. It's just the way it works.
And i like my sister even though i'm jealous of her...she's the smart one. She's in Primary 2. She's a year behing me and she's 2 years younger...she went in at 4 and a half. I went in at 5 and a half.
-feeds him a strawberry-
Rich: * his lips touch her finger when fed and blushes before trying to play it off as nothing * you don't understand, how could you.... You have him, you like him.
Amy: Well, he's good to me so of course i like him...he's cute.
Rich :- Finishes his strawberry - he doesn't deserve you- he says being cut off by the bell- coming then?* walks to class *
Harry: * waits for Amy before going to class*
Amy: Yeah. I just have to go get my jotter.
-runs back to Harry to get her Jotter-
Hey. Did you get your tables?
Oh, want a strawberry?
-feeds it to him whilst eating another one-
Harry: * nods eating the strawberry* all thanks to you. - follows her after she gets her jotter and reaches out for her hand instinctively-
Amy: -takes his hand, smiling-
-goes and sits down-
Mr Smith: Everyone ready for questions?
Rich and Harry: - in their seats- Yeh sir!
Mr Smith: Ok. Richard, what's 12 times 12?
Rich: Same as earlier 144.
Mr Smith: No need to be cheeky. I was making sure you had learned it.
Harry, what's 4 times 9?
Harry: *finger by finger he counts out loud * 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36?
Mr Smith: Good technique without using the card. Try be a bit faster next time.
Or you could know that 4 times 10 is 40 so 4 times 9 is 40-4 which is 36.
Amy, what's 6 times 7?
Amy: 42, Sir.
Mr Smith: Very good. How did you work it out?
Amy: 5 times 7 is 35 add 7 is 42.
Mr Smith: perfect. Although all of you should try and know them off by heart.
-Continues to ask the rest of the class one by one-
-at the end they all chant out their times tables and the bell rings-
Mr Smith: Good work everyone. You can pack up now.
Harry: *packs up * you walking home yourself Amy?
Rich* walks off to the rust bucket with a strap offand his bag ready to rip*
(Friend drove me and a few people to kfc in her car
She's not long past her test
I was so scared XD)
( but did you die?)
(My group at Uni did that...Dex was a really good driver and i was at the front and it was fine.)
Amy: No, i'll walk home with my sister
-smiles-
I'll see you tomorrow, ok?
(Luckily not
Trying to park though...
I can't wait to attempt my test!)
Harry: Ok see ya! *hugs then wonders if he should kiss her*
( I need my laptop and a job and I can get a car)
Amy: -hugs tightly and waits for Sarah to get out-
(*yawns and curls up in a corner under a warm blanket and on a giant comfy pillow*)
(I got my nans car which is ten years old, which is nice
But it can't be in the rain cause it lets water in XD )
(*hugd jai*)
(Hey Jai. You survived! I guess yiu got some sleep then?)
(*hugs people back* I fell asleep at like 12 and woke up at like five o'clock..)
(You got a bit at least. Good.)
Harry: * kisses her cheek then goes* I have to run my mum is expecting me.
(I think it was just a thing.. Me and someone I know couldn't sleep last night)
(Yeah, a little. But not much.)
Amy: Ok, Bye Harry!
-waves-
(I'm going to make a deal with everyone right now. You say i'm pretty and beautiful and I don't believe it. If i apply to Hollister and am successful at being in the front, i will admit it. If not, you have no right to call me pretty anymore and should leave me to my miserable ugliness in peace. Fair?)
(Hollister? No deal. They're a clothes company right? That just means they're going for a very small category of people and most of those people are ones I despise.)
(*frowns€ you are pretty Gem.
It would be awesome for you to work at hollister, but if you don't get it it doesn't mean you aren't pretty...)
(*puts hand up* I do like hollister though it isn't my favourite place
My favourite place is the vintage shop 'hobos')
( I will continue calling you pretty till the day I die coz it will always be true)
(True. And i would hate to work there because they only care about looks. And it's dark and boiling in there. Dark so you can't see the prices cause they're ridiculous.)
(I know Hollister are popular, but if you're turned down by them it doesn't mean you aren't pretty.
*pokes gemmy* I'll stop calling you pretty when you stop being pretty.)
(Gahhhhh you guys are so stubborn.)
(It is really cramped in Cardiff
Swansea isn't big enough for a hollister XD )
(Of course we are.
Hmmmmm.. this may help?)
(You're really pretty Gem
Okay... reading that.. I wish there was a hollister here XD )
(Actually seems like it would be alright...
Except that you can't really wear make-up. I'll be so screwed then.)
(I don't think you need makeup Gem
And it's nice to be natural ^.^
I can't be bothered to wear makeup XD )
(But i feel ugly as fuck without it...i need it.)
(You don't need it! USE THE POWER OF THE DIMPLES!!!)
(Personally I don't see much difference when people wear makeup
If I think you're pretty with makeup, I will think you're pretty without it )
( dimple * jai just the one :) she's beautiful with and without makeup... Personally I prefer without, because you can't improve on perfection. <3)
(Just one?
Yeah just show that you have a dimple xD Dimples are adorable, especially when it's only one dimple..)
(There are so many people who wear makeup but don't need it
My sister does her makeup beautifully and her eyebrows are en point
But she wears mascara when she has beautiful long thick wyelashes
And flawless skins
She looks beautiful without it)
( it is so * would say cute or adorable but its not enough * she's perfection, if she wanted in Hollister she'd get it... Even though she doesn't like the store.
I love her dimple and her chocolate eyes and well all of her <3 )
(I miss star...)
Heyo?
Hey jack
Hey k
(I do love my eyes. They're my favourite feature.)
(Hey Jack.)
Hey gemma
How's you?
You're my fav thing about you :P
I'm alright thanks, you?
Chloes eyes are gorgeous...
(Alas, people are back)
Chloe!!!!
I'm fantastic. :)
Hey jai
(Thanks Jack)
For what?
(For the compliment )
It was true, you are the most gorgeous beautiful girl in the whole wide world
Amy: -Sees Sarah-
Sarah! -waves-
Sarah: -Says bye to her friend and walks home with Amy-
-Later-
Mum: how can you be spending so much for lunch?! This is dads hard-earned money!
Amy: I have a sandwhich, strawberries and a drink...
Mum: Why do you need a drink? You have a water bottle.
Amy: i ususually drink it...especially during P.E.
Mum: Then fill it up!
And stop buying strawberries. Take fruit from home.
Amy: ok...
Mum: Go up to your room.
Amy: -goes upstairs and does her homework-
-Amy's dad comes home-
Dad: I have some bad news...
Mum: What is it?
Dad: The company is pulling out. If i want to keep my job we have to move.
Mum: Well you obviously have to keep your job...where are they moving to?
Dad: Down South. Oxford.
Mum: Oxford?! But that's miles and miles away!
Dad: I know...
-sighs and sits down-
Mum: -tries to comfort him- at least it's the start of the year...they wouldn't have missed much.
Dad: Yeah...i guess this is the best time for this to happen...
Mum: Will we tell Amy now or later?
How much time do we have?
Dad: a week.
Mum: We'll tell her the day before...
(Timeskip to her last day or do you want to rp another day before that?)
(Aww..)
( depends on if we do the thing last day or before.... Prob last day gives him a reason)
(Telling a child the day before is not the correct response!!!)
(afraid I have to disagree with you there. Jack.... :P no offence Chloe)
It's true
(None taken)
I'm afraid ill have to disagree with you k, no offense gem
(*looks around*
*realizes reality*
*...*
*sits in the "forever unwanted" corner*)
(-bursts out crying-)
(baby!?)
(*sends gemmy a note saying "At least you're wanted."*
*waves from the forever unwanted corner*)
( - cuddles her tightly - he doesn't know what he's talking about it's fine.
Aww jai ... *offers hugs * someone wants you... Like that... I want you as a friend, is that good enough?)
I'm sorry gemma
It's ok jai
(*laughs* Someone wants me like that? Aww keiron, you really shouldn't lie to the poor unfortunately souls of the lonely. *shrugs* Eh. I'll be fine.)
( someone will, just you wait you might not know them yet maybe you do but one day someone will fight for you)
(Did Jack upset you Gem? I don't know if that's the reason...
But it would p me off ever so slightly
I know you can't help what you feel
But it was a bit of light banter between to guys who put their girls before anything else and who share different opinions
K said no offence to me, you are the most beautiful girl in his eyes
Which is sweet and adorable and so I didn't take offence - I think you're pretty
But when Jack does the same for the same reason... Is that any reason to get upset?)
(*rolls eyes* People don't fight for people like me. It's fine, being solitary has benefits.)
(*Drops down from the ceiling in the corner next to Jai*
Oh hi there.)
(Hey John
A lone wolf tends to go crazy after a while
Humans are social creatures
They need to surround themselves with others)
( she's kissing too don't worry.... She's just eating dinner)
(*pokes J*
Hey. Welcome to the humble abode of the romantically alone. Enjoy your stay.)
(*frowns at Chloe*
I'm already crazy? I don't think being alone will affect my crazy levels.)
(And I do surround myself with others.
I have friends and I have family.)
