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.

(I hope they do... We let our dog out at night... He is small enough to be picked up and it's the woods behind us... What if the person came at night instead and took him?)
Only 17 more points to go for a tie game. If they can stay on a roll and keep Carolina from scoring again, it might be a close game. [grins]
(Awesome fab ^.^
I like going to footie/ soccer games ^.^)
(@Fabi Good luck to them!
@Chloe Who'd want to kidnap a dog? -_-
@Keiron Got a knife/planning to get one?)
(Many people
My dog is a nice young dog who could be used for puppy farming
Dognaps have happened around this area before)
( not got one but I'd like to have one, might gamble when I get it back, it's really fast, easy 60fps if my internet holds up)
( if you're worried keep him in?)
(@Chloe :///// I hope your dog doesn't get taken. :/
@Keiron Never gamble.)
I don't know if I'd like to go to a Seahawks game. We've apparently broken records for loudest fans.
I used to play football/soccer, but I was never any good at it. I liked watching my sister play though.
(its good though you get so much for so little sometimes )
(@Fabi I have never been to any match, ever :/ so go if you have the chance! :3
@Keiron Gambling sites are high risk, the guy with 0.5% chance can win all your stuff.
And cases/trade-ups are always bad. Stay away.)
(Thanks kas
I don't often go to games... My dad and grampa have season tickets
I only go when y grampa can't)
( been to hundreds of footy games had a season ticket for rangers for 6 years
Also that's what makes it fun, be the guy with.5 chance and win)
(@Chloe Ah.
Gtg now. See you guys later!)
I've been to a Mariners game. I won tickets in a poetry contest. I liked spending time with my dad and eating junk food, but the Mariners aren't a super strong team, and baseball isn't really my thing.
If something like that happened and I got tickets to a Seahawks game, I'd definitely go. I don't think I'd buy tickets though.
I wouldn't fit in at an American footy game.... I think maybe basketball or hokey... :/ I dunno I'd like to go to a Superbowl just to say I had )
(I've been to two basketball games in America before
The atmosphere was great)
( I've never been out of Europe )
I'd only want to go to a Super Bowl if my team was in it, tbh.
Basketball can be pretty cool.
Another touchdown. 21-31. 10 more points to go... Come on Seahawks. 12 12 12
(I always holiday in England... I went to Disney Paris when I was little
I went skiing to America three times with school)
( I've been Paris b4 going this year as well ...
Been Spain and Greece England and Ireland and Portugal )
(I Also went to cern last year
When I attend Portsnouth uni, I can spend weekends in France)
Heyo
(Jack! *glomps*)
*is glomped*
(*dances with Jack and hums 'that's amore'*)
*dances and smiles*
(How is my adoring soul mate?)
It's so closeeeeeeere
😬
IKRRRRR
They only need one more touchdown to take it to overtime.
:DD
SCARY
BARELY ANY TIME LEFTTTTT
About being loud:
Fabi's right. Seahawks fans caused a small earthquake XD
THE TV AT BAKER STOPPED WORKING?????
Good, you?
( I've never seen an atmosphere like an old firm ... 60000 people all singing )
(Hey Duggy!!!!
I am okay now ^.^£
Never mind, it's back :))
Hey Jack and Chloe!!
There's not enough time left... :-(
Darn :/
D:
Well, at least they didn't get crushed. I was worried they weren't going to score at all
Okay, well we're going to eat/ski now.
Pie guys!
Yeah. I wish they'd pulled off that kick though. Like, if that Panther guy hadn't caught it.
They might have been able to tie it, which would have been pretty epic.
They went from 0-31 to 24-31 though.
Bye. I'm gonna do my homework, I think. :-P
Sorry for bothering y'all with 'Murican sports updates.
The blog's not letting me comment without proving I'm not a robot. O_O
(Bye guys ^.^)
I've never gone to Europe
Been to Bermuda, Jamaca, a nicer side of Hatti, Canada, and almost the Bahamas but a hurricane hit when we went on that cruise.
Been to a lot of states which is kinda like coutries.
Rhode Island, Massachusettes, Conneticut, New Jersey, New York, Maryland West Virginia Virgina Tennesee Mississippi Florida Alambama Georgia Loiusiana North and South Carolina.
You should co.e to the west coast, Zaf!!
Yeah, spring break will be my first time in Europe!
Besides thAt I've been to Costa Rica and Canada.
For states...
Washington (duh), Oregon, California, Montana, Wyoming, Florida, Massachusetts, Rhode island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Hawaii. For some reason I've always wanted to go to Utah (going there in February to ski!!) And Alaska would be awesome!!
I wanna go to the West Coast actually.
I don't think I could go to Kansas though, not after Supernatural. I would keep thinking oh crap is a yellow eyed demon coming?
I mean, Kansas isn't on the west coast, so...
Dugglyn, you're so lucky you get to go to Europe.
Yeah, I'm really happy it actually worked out because it started as this crazy idea I came up with one Sunday morning.
(Merry meet, merry part, merry meet again!)
(hell's bells, it's quiet...)
(It is these days)
(kinda sucks)
(how're you?)
(It foes
I is good ^.^
You ?)
(pretty good. the house is a little cold, on account of the snow, but I have many blankets and more tea than Ceylon, so I think I'll be OK)
(*pouts* I think Swansea has missed out on the snow)
(bummer. we got just enough to have a snowball fight, but not enough to hang around longer than a day. it'll all be gone by tomorrow, I think. what's the weather like down there?)
( basically gone today Struan, coz of the rain )
(It is cold and raining)
(I am a very determined man. With a wheel-barrow.)
(Aw, that sucks. Hope it clears up soon! ^*^
If its any consolation, the forecast for up here's pretty dreich and dreer. So I expect we'll all be in the same boat soon.)
(Wheel barrows are heavy when filled with animal crap -_- *remembers the summer of 2014 in community farm*
*shudders*)
( It is raining, I cant speak personally about cold , I don't feel it usually. )
( O.O okay... top tip.
was this a voluntary thing?)
(Yes
I was going to be a vet so needed experience on a farm
I also had to wrestle sheep )
(ah, hang on guys. I've got to nip away for a wee bit. Back soon, be good!)
(no promises )
(Okay ^.^
I am good XD )
( In the future I want to refurbish a classic car with modern breakes and stuff to make it look and work amazing, if I could fins 300sl in bad condition for cheap that'd be amazing :P )
(I want a classic car...)
( which ?
I'd like to sell ones id refurbished so that I could drive them a little
I'd love a classic mini cooper, maybe a skyline gtr, there's a few more too but id need to see )

(Hey, Chloe!
Hello, Keiron.)
( hey kas, nope not too smart :/ * offers hugs*)
(At least I didn't open like 80 souvenir crates and get nothing good lmao)
( tbh this is one of the many reasons I hate csgo, too expensive )
(But it's only £3.74! /s)
(Have no idea what your on about...!
( but its never just £3.74 $90)
(@Chloe Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) a game which I (unwisely) spent $90 on today.)
(@Keiron But you don't need skins! Skins don't make skills!)
( that's like saying cars don't need go faster stripes heheh you still want them )
(*sits in the dunce corner*)
(But painting your car doesn't make you skilled like the guys in Fast & Furious!)
(@Chloe Gaaaammeeeees and stuuuuuufffffff)

(-rolls eyes and cuddles into Keiron-)
( - cuddles into gem- )
Like.. They are a close, close friend of mine. But they are rarely there for me. I email them all the time, and try to reach out, but I only ever hear back maybe once a month from them. They're too busy all the rest of the time.
And since Saturday, I've done what I could to be patient, but...
Disappearing in the middle of a conversation without warning once is forgivable, but twice isn't so much.
Apparently This person cares for me a lot, and has put effort into saying so, but I words don't align with actions. All I would like is to talk a little bit more, even f it's just one or two messages a day. tjat isn't too much to ask.
Not that I can tell him any of this... It's too selfish of me.
(There's no harm in asking Noelle... It may be no problem at all... You won't know without asking ^.^)
(*hugs Noelle gently* I'm sorry that they're so distant..)
(*has a sausage on my lap*)
*sausage dog. XD
Right XD
(*glomps*)
(What do you think happens after death?)
(*sings hungry like the wolf*)
(Where is everyone?)
Where's the fam?)
(*starts speaking to myself^)
(Night...)
[randomly runs in and tackle hugs Chloe]
[runs out again because dying of homework]
(*tacklehugs Fabi back even though I'm a few hours late*)
E(*watchws Winnie the Pooh *)
:) no school today- snow cancel
Oh lucky!
Enjoy :))))
(I wish we would have snow)
I will enjoy it, thank you!!! :D at first it was a two hour delay, but then it cancelled and I have been sleeping a lot - but the kitty woke me up twice :( but otherwise it's nice
(I'm glad you've enjoyed ^.^)
(Fringe cut too short...)
(*hugs Chloe* I'm sure it's fine!)
(*hugs* I look more like a dude now)
(I'm sure you still look amazing!)
(Awwww thanks )
(Its okay :) How are you?)
(Tired
You?)
SNUUUUU
(I'm glad you're enjoying Noelle ^^.)
:) yes
My third quarter senior year classes are... Easy..
Econ, Robotics, Music Theory and Composition, and then World Religions
Kinda a joke
(I'm glad you're enjoying the snow Noelle!
I'm okay Chloe :) )
(I'm glad Noelle ^.^
I am doing psychology homework -_-)
(Shhh. Psychology is fun!)
Except Freud did cocaine and was a perverted creep
(I like psychology
Just not the stats
Freud was weird AF)
(Yeah. Except for Freud. He was a bit.. twisted.)
(*thinks Oedipus complex and shudders *)
(*thinks Electra complex and shudders*)
*thinks Freud and shudders*
(My sister said I now look like pink)
(Pink is cool. She makes good music.)
(Yes but I don't XD )
(Yes but you are cool.)
(Awwwwww thank you )
(You're welcome :)
Aretha sent me packets of my favorite Starbucks drink ever that I can make at home (they discontinued, but she found some), and a jar of hugs and kisses, and a very very cute build a bear that I named Niccolò, and a stuffed Ewok, and a little fox whom I named Alastair :)
And Niccolò said he likes that I named the bear after him
( IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HAVE MY LAPTOP BACKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Nwww Noelle, that's so sweet!
Yey keiron!)
(That's so sweet Noelle ^.^
awesome K ^.^)
:D
*Snuggles her bear*
(I haven't been to build a bear in aaaages
The last one igor was a sausage dog which I called relish and it had a hotdog outfit)
(I've never had a build a bear and I'm probably too old to justify going now xD)
(You're never too old!)
(Mmm maybe.)
(FLUER EAST HAS MAHUSIVE HAIR!)
Aretha went... She did well
(Huh. Maybe I can then. YEY! I'M NOT TOO OLD FOR SOMETHING!)
(*now wants to go to build a bear*)
(Chloooooeeee the next time we meet (if I have the money) can we make Jack find a build a bear workshop?)
(Yes!!!!!! We must! )
(Yey!
*has NO IDEA how much that would actually cost*)
I had off for power outage. Like 5am the phone is ringing and they said just the high school was off due to lack of power.
Well its been -15, -3, and 19 degrees out so....Kinda need lights and heat
(Hey Zaffy ^.^
I can't remember...)
(I think they're meant to be like roughly £20 ish pound?)
(depends on what you get and if you want clothes with it tbh, but they aren't the same anymore ,"back in my day you got to stuff your own bear as much as you want now it's an employee and they ask you if it's cuddly enough )
They can be anywhere from 10 to 30 usd..
:,) Niccolò said that he would be honored to have the bear named after him. We snuggled, then
(I want a black bear Called inky )
(So fairly cheap then :)
"they ask you if it's cuddly enough" it will NEVER be cuddly enough!!!
@Noelle Naww. What does the bear look like?
@Chloe what if you could get a black wolf? *doubt you can but still*)
(... THAT WOULD BE HEAVEN)
(xD Isnt inky actually a normal coloured wolf?)
(Yes, she is grey with black tips on her ears and tail that resemble flames)
*adds to your birthday list*
*vanishes* bye alls
(Ahhh.
xD hi/bye Jacko.)
(Jaaaaaack!!!)
It's a cute vanilla best with little spots on him. He is so cute*
*sighs and realizes yet again nobody but one person even notices*
I turn 18 on Monday. Yay.
*vanishes to go watch Supernatural*
My cute little Niccolò.
We're engaged, actually. 💎💍
(Wait who's engaged?
*hugs zaf*
-13.. that's cold for us and you have weird Fahrenheit so that must actually be ridiculously cold.)
Weee!
I am to Niccolò. He's my fiancée :)
Let's see
I dedicate this page to Sam and Dean Winchester. And Castiel.
You three are the best and Supernatural has destroyed the fourth wall enough it doesn't stand.
Jared and Jensen are so cool, and I love that show.
Takes a lot to get me to watch all 10 seasons.
And Cas, is so damn literal. I love it.
I think watching has made me realize hey two siblings hunting monsters across the US can survive, so can you. They can die and come back and still make up. Anything is possible. No matter how bad my life turns, at least you know you aren't a Winchester, and you don't die and come back constantly.
(I is off to bed
Nos da! )
Byebye
( like irl engaged or blog engaged? )
:)))
And Aretha and I are having a girl date on Friday
YAS
:D
And well, Niccolò doesn't have a body of his own, so...
So like
Kinda in real life
But also not.
He's my boo. *Snugs* He gives me kisses 😚
