«Oldest ‹Older 2201 – 2400 of 2589 Newer› Newest»I got Resurrection today! can't wait to read it. Really disappointed Derek has deserted the blog altogether now...
And @Zath and @Em and @Gep, too. Hehe. Many good times are being reminisced in my head- like Sparky's theme park, the Island, Nixion being here literally every day- the weird chatzy war between Kallie's lot and Aquila's lot... Flame, and Luciana, and NJ, and the entire family :)
Such good times...
I remember Sir's first summer. I think it was my first official summer as well, so that was cool :)
XD but I was an infant, and I was literally like 13- this was about five years ago, I think (summer of 2012?). So I was around 12-13, though I met Laura and Mariah when I was just about to turn 12.
Hehe....
Really, really, really good times.
I remember the hilarious Skype calls with Sam, and NJ, and Zaf, and Em, and Flame.. and it was just the lot of us being absolutely stupid with each other and mishearing what the other person said, and some very strange things coming out of that...
That was Fam!One
Fam!Two began in 2013(?) which consisted of Trip, Rhydian, Star, Fabi, Mara, HB, Aretha, Flora, Em...
Fam!Three began around 2014, aka: the TLC gang, which was (mostly) Fabi, Star, Trip, Mara, Ari, and Em- though others dabbled in and out.
But now Fam!Four is small. It was really mostly just me and Ari for a while, and of course I still speak to Trip all the time, but it is really broken. There isn't really a cohesive unit. I speak to Em, and Trip, and Aretha, and (recently resurrected, thank god) Fabi pretty regularly, but it has been largely fragmented.
It's kinda sad...
I feel lots of nostalgia to the hUUUUGE gang from way back when: Lynx, Lydia, Kallista, Aquila, Dragona, Raven, Luci, Gep, Nixion, Skyril, Ivy, Flame, Eve the ROCK, Thrust, Taia, Willow, Ieni, Zath, Melica, Kestrel, Octa, Lav, Mist, Dau, Saph, Miss Cain, Lenka, Pyro and Red, Robin, Kilandra...
That's just scratching the surface..
Jesus, those were good times with some good folks. I hope they are all doing well :)
Now I'm hunting a lot of these people down on Facebook... they are going to be so confuse
Dang though, the GLOW UP IS REAL
The sad thing, I think, was that i was never closer with some people.
Take Snow, for example, or Jubi, or Ed.
I think that's probably what I do regret- not having stronger relationships with everyone
OOOOH
or Dugglyn. We were close, but I always wished I could have known her better- emailed more. She was really cool and I celebrate who she is 🎈🎈
Also
I am 89% sure that Red and Pyro are still dating.
Which means that they have been together since 2011
2011, guys
Wow
(Got two accounts now cause for some reason my phone likes to keep me on this account despite me logging outta google)
(I miss this place 😭)
I think everyone is gone, probably.
I was lucky enough to talk to Mara this morning- and now I'm feeling super nostalgic! It's been probably since 2014 or 2015 since we last chatted.
I'm gonna try to find Sir though.

So, as many of you know, my character/ muse of Adra was, originally, a Necromancer (only for a few months- and back when Adra was more representative of myself, rather than her own entity). Since then, as I have explored more of her background, and changed her so that she fits her own original story- meaning that she is an Alchemist, rightfully.
In the past few months, I have been exploring her history, ancestry, and identity as an alchemist, and I am beginning to run a blog that explains what Alchemy is in detail, a well as some major anthropological insights into Alchemist culture on Gaia.
It is accessed here: http://alchemicalbond.blogspot.com/
You're all welcome to check it out! I just thought it would be a cool project to endeavor upon, and hope that some of y'all check it out!
Hello~
It's been a while...!
Hello, my darling!!!! <3 I don't know if you're still here- apologies- but welcome!!
I have 100% spent the last 20 minutes watching this beautiful dance video over and over...
https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsoufianetheatre%2Fvideos%2F996471607123163
I hope it works, the link!
It was quite beautiful, but also incredibly disturbing. Of course, no story behind this piece is offered, so how everyone interprets it is very interesting, but the story I saw behind it was that it was an abusive relationship..
Clearly, the two dancers are incredibly powerful and gifted and the way they move is just stunning- but their choreography felt so subtly violent; the way he would flip her around with her foot, and it felt as if the whole time she just was more like a ragdoll...
I highly recommend that anyone who sees this comment watch the video. Visually spectacular, disturbing, but just a masterpiece.
S12 is on Netflix!!
Destiellll :)
I realized- if some people stop back in, I am 100% Adra hehe.
GUYS!!!
I got to say hello to Sir!
I'm so pleased!
I have recently been making avatars for many of my characters... I am thinking of posting them to the "Character Facts" blog. If you all are interested!!
And, of course, the alchemy blog is open as well.
I lock my eyes and the whole world drops dead.
That whisp’ring opera preys upon my fear,
They tick and click and cry and caw and toil,
Where daunting souls reside inside my head.
They’re closing in; their pleas are what I hear-
“Dear Lord please help, I dread my mortal coil”.
Shut down my mind and the whole Earth’s deceased-
(The sinew of my gut is undulate)
-My hope for Zion’s stolen by Hell’s snare,
My skull’s a cage, my pain does still increase.
Doomed that I am, my mind is ruminate---
---My life lays in my ‘cophagus, where there:
I shut my eyes and the whole world falls dead,
And I along, to flee the words unsaid.
سأذهب الى اسرائيل في اسبوعين مع استاذي من صف العلم الانسان و التاريخ. اشعور بسعيدة و اريد ان اسافر الى مسعدة و البحر الميت و هيفاء أيضا . كل يوم ساستشقظ حوالي الساعة الرابعة في الصباح و سانام حوالي الساعة العشرة و نصف في المساء. اريد الاتكلم اللغة ألعربيه الى الناس في نفس المنطقتي. بعد اذهب الى اسرائيل، سأسافر الى بيتي في مدينة سينسناتي. سأشعور بمتعبه جدا و ساريد النوم كثيرا.
متأسفة if there are some spelling or grammatical errors; it is about 2AM..
I'm actually quite tired.. I might either pass out or empty the contents of my stomach and I can't tel which bevaause itscon fusing??
Sleep
أحب ال اذهب الى غرفتي و أحب الانوم
HAHAHAHAHAHA nosleep
It'd be a shame to lose contact with everyone 😓 I have Fb if others are interested
If so my email is chloe@cfc.co.uk
I'm having fun doing all of these things :p
I'm writing a bone-themed speech
incredible
yo peoples and monsters
Not boundless brier, sea, nor brush, nor fire
Could segregate our paths from intercourse
We have been scorched by thoughts of shared desire
That physical absence cannot divorce.
Not Hell nor Heaven could pull us apart,
Since love, will we eternally define
-No devil can displace my counterpart-
He's fixed, since intimately he is mine.
If only wind would lead me to his side,
Impossibility transfixes me...
But Fact's imagination's cyanide
That weighs me down to Earth's Reality
I'm faced with hopeless doubt, yet well I know,
That time will lead me to my Romeo.
This was the one time I attempted Romantic poetry.
Could have been worse
Could have been better lol
Thinking a lot today
You know, nothing with Madie's case has happened in a while. I mean, it's just awful, and I think having closure on the case would help a lot of people, myself included.
I wasn't able to attend the funeral, because it was the middle of the school week when she died, and I didn't have the money.
The girl who was driving the car is being charged for murder. I've seen the traffic camera videos , and heard the audio for the people who called 9/11, and this girl who ran Madie over was clearly intentional in her actions. Like, she swerved to hit Madie, she deviated from her normal course to hurt her. I think though, even though this girl who killed her claimed that it was an accident, she dragged Madie for about 80 feet, at which point Madie was dislodged from under the car. And then the girl drove away.
Like
Even if she accidentally ran Madie over, even if that was the case, you simply don't continue driving.
Her mother and grandmother in many videos clearly spoil this girl to death- she is all "I'm perfect and I would never do that", but her social media posts clearly show that she's a mean girl. And it's just sad, because I know that her family has helped encourage this behavior from the girl who killed Madie.
I just hope they can get this girl in jail soon- it's been almost two months since she surrendered herself to the police. Madie deserves justice.
I suppose I'm just reflecting a lot today about how sad it is that people like Briana, people who have been spoilt, who are mean and cruel, are so brainwashed in this world. That if would be awful if she got away from this. Hurting people is never okay, and if you hurt someone on accident, you grow up, and you own up to it. That's just how the world works.
But Briana isn't owning up. She's continuing to deny that she did anything wrong
And now someone is dead.
It's just frustrating, and it happens a lot in life, and it just sucks.

This makes me very happy ^.^
Jesus Ads lol
Take a breath...
I don't know what breathing is, Em
Listen, I will revive this blog, even if it is just me
I'm all for reviving the blog girl, I'm with you when it's not 12:50 in the morning on my end.
But it's kinda hard when the author doesn't even update his own blog.
Anyway it is late, so we will plan, divide and conquer tomorrow.
Night love xxx
I don't blame him. I think he has every right to do so.
Goodnight!
I just heard a disturbing audio of a man being mauled by a bear back in 2003
How did I get here
Help
This is so scary
Happy 3rd Wedding Anniversary, Chione and Blake.
:o
I am very excited! I'm going to see Twelfth Night at the Globe next week. ^.^ It is one of my favorite comedies :)
If I lived in London, I would probably end up seeing every show there, to be honest. I'd love a good King Lear or Titus Andronicus.
And then I'm going for coffee with Laura :)
But before the Globe I am spending my morning with Trip and, hopefully, I can see him again in the evening time :)
❤
Or not see Twelfth Night- I might pop by, but friends are more important than the sights, of course
*Is thinking a lot about cookies right about now*
Awww One Love Manchester, such a great night.
I stand with Manchester <3
The videos have given me absolute chills ❤ it's so beautiful
So I saw an interview where Derek said that he has a taken name in the books
And I have been thinking about every character I come across as I read and
It struck me
saRACEN RUE KNOWS THINGS
THATS HIS POWER
HE KNOWS THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN
WHO ELSE BUT THE AUTHOR CAN DO THAT
God dammit Landy you've got me hooked agin
Also just saying I figured it out literally years ago but I didn't shout about it Adra knows it's true I'm taking all the credit because I'm amazing and this is literally the smartest thing I ever did, except for maybe that one heist I planned.
P.s Saracen was always one of my favourites anyway thats such a cool duscipline
*Hits trip gently* Shut up
WE BOTH FIGURED IT OUT INDEPENDENTLY, OKAY?
50/50
Haha but I love u so
Y'all I finally read and finished TDOTL.
I'm floored
And I'm glad I waited until now because if I read this back when it was released I would have been stuck in purgatory... waiting like everyone else
I'm like a fan of Sherlock who finally just finished season 2 and came late enough to the game that season 3 comes out next week
got a psychology exam tomorrow :D
I tweeted about Landy being Saracen Rue like 2 years ago!!!
How are you only knowing this now??
I KNEW IT!!
You don't follow me on twitter....
I literally just made a Twitter three days ago.
And I just saw the video stating that he had a character in the books four days ago.
So
For the past six hours I have been drawing
And now
And now I can't sleep
oh boi wat gr8 tra=vel advice thx mr nastytoe you rly halped me out
Sad reacts only
Today events have made me realise something.
The power of human forgiveness is both beautiful and dangerous.
Beautiful because how people can put aside all past transgressions and hurt and get along again (sort of)
But also dangerous because the one who did the hurt could then feel the hurt themselves via regret.
But yeah, human forgiveness beautiful but dangerous
*looks up*
Hi.
I have an exam every day next week so I'm revising and my mood is varying sinsosidually, with the minimums being at the end of each revision session and the maximums being at the end every break. When I get out of it like this I start doing weird things - like leaving my phone in weird places like by the washing up that I'd normally never consider, and walking outside in the rain with no shoes and standing in the rain, or walking round in circles singing, plus I keep crying/laughing for very little reason. I think that while I was drifting around being put if it I kind of drifted back onto this blog. So um, hi. I wouldn't advise on engaging in conversation with me because I'll probably drift off again soon to revise and cry and sing. XD
Singing is something I do now. I didn't sing at all for years, which I think was a confidence thing. I first realised I could sing again after I realised that I was gay, and I mean like, it was weird because after that I'd keep catching myself trying to sing advert jingles to people in the context of conversations and shit like that, and I was just there like "WHAT IS THIS WHAT ARE WE DOING WE DO NOT /SING/." After I got over freaking out about it, I took to attempting to sing Bullet For My Valentine's Tears. Don't Fall whilst walking home from school along the stretch of a dual carriageway where no one could hear me, and I got a bit more confident with it and now I sing when I'm revising home alone. I'm not very good at it, but I am proud that I have the confidence to actually do it.
I've kind of come to terms with the fact that the blog is dead and I'm never going to really be friends with anyone I met here ever again, because I've spent a few years accepting that all friendships must come to an end (and then working out termination estimates for all of my current friendships XD). That said, I've met some really great people here and I'll always have a little special place reserved in my heart for you. And in years to come, I'll look back on the good times I've had here and I'll smile about it.
I'm not going to say "you're all wonderful people" because that would quite blatantly be a lie and I don't even like everyone I've met here. But to those of you who are wonderful, you're wonderful. (Even if you'll probably never read this). Thank you for being friends with me and for putting up with all the annoying/hurtful parts of me. I won't forget you.
I might pop back when I'm on a revision break and have a chat with anyone who's here/post more random shit, but like I said, no guarantees.
Hey Star!
Good luck with revisions- I know you will be fantastic on your examiniations when they come, and I have no doubt that you'll be pleased with your results. Also, I am glad you enjoy singing- it's such a great hobby, and a wonderful outlet, so I am pleased that you have it.
I'm sorry, though, if my own path has caused you pain. Leaving this blog, and closing TLC, I have realized was likely really hurtful, so if I have caused harm in any way to you, I apologize. Of course, you know that you are always welcome to shoot an email my way, and I will be happy to answer. I understand you might not really see it this way, but I still consider you one of my good friends on the internet. And the nice thing about good friends, I think, is that -like in life- even when they drift apart, or stop talking, when they pick up again it's as if no time has passed at all.
What I mean to say, really, is that I'm sorry you have probably felt isolated- you are such an incredible person, and are always welcome, of course, and you will always have people who care for you here.
Hey!
Awww. Don't worry, you haven't caused me suffering, and you don't have to be sorry. I still consider you one of my good friends too and I think I always will, because you were/are an awesome and lovely person and I'll always remember you as that. :)
...
Being here has made me conscious of how much my English has deteriorated. I'm sorry, I don't read any more and I've been training myself to talk in bullet points. XD It's harder for me to instinctively sentence.
Yeeeaahhh I know what that's like Star :D You're gonna do well though, that's for sure.
*Hugs Star- then licks hr softly* *And will just snuggle softly*
I did some drawings recently, if anyone is interested... I am working on my third one now
Home
^ this is a drawing of Adra
Home
^This is a drawing of Skulduggery. It is much better.
Sorry I'm just learning how to do hyperlinks xD sorry for the "home"
But I am very proud of the second one ^.^
It's because I'm much better at black and white than color.
Thought you meant the second hyperlink then. XD
:) Oh yeah. You're getting (have gotten? have got? Am I meant to be being English or American here?) good at drawing. That Skulduggery is great.
😊 thank you! I'm on MS Paint, so it isn't that great of a program for drawing, but it will do.
Aaah there are people here again!
I will try to be here more often, but I can't promise. I'm dealing with a lot right now.
About staying in touch-- I am ok giving my social media (I have Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram) to people I know/trust from here, but I'm not gonna post it publicly.
:o
Fabi
Please tell noelle
Hi folks! Y'all are here, this is so cool! Idk how much I'll be on here because I'm a bit cautious of going back into past social situations at the moment, but it's lovely to see people are around, I miss you guys and I'm glad you're all here. <3
@Noelle: Your paintings are looking great! Wouldn't have guessed that's MS Paint! :0
@Star: I hope you smash your exams next week!! Best of luck!
@All: Hope things are going ok! Also it's Friday so I can totally wish everyone a happy weekend c:
Hung parliament best parliament
Thank you ataxia- and yes, of course! You're always welcome here, you know. *Sends snuggles* I hope your weekend is quite lovely as well!
>.> Teip
Ataxia?
Jesus
*Taia
Lol interesting nickname :p
Thanks Noelle :D *snuggles back*
Hey Trip! Never a dull moment with British politics rn :p
People...! :0
help me
:) Nice to see you guys again. :) :)
Rest of the world just be watching my country like "what the fuck are you even doing mate"
Honestly I don't know what we're even doing XD we might have to have another general election soon but everyone's just there like "oh lordy no not another one please make it stop"
The nice thing (autocorrect wanted to change "nice" to "nive." Wtf) about the election we just had was that it was the first one I actually got to vote in.
I suppose the nasty thing about it is that our government is now partially run by homophobic Irish people. Yay.
What strikes me the most about this election, as opposed to the most recent major vote-y things we and others have had, is that nobody really seems to be talking about it. Don't get me wrong, political people sometimes try, but all there is to say is "So... hung parliament. Well, um, I guess that... well, that happened."
The most conversation I've heard about it was from the little kiddies (well. Younger teenagers) on the bus, who were still trying to work out who had won. XD
!!!
Dugglyn! Hello! I was just talking to Fabi about you yesterday :) How are you?
Yeah, though I doubt another election would be held. I'm america, so many people called for re-elections in both the primary and the presidential election. Though, since the U.K. Is a wee bit smaller, a recount would be easier to conduct. And, indeed- this year seems to be a year of firsts for a lot of political machines.
Hi Noelle!! I'm pretty good! (Wishing I could have slept longer but it's so bright...) how are you?
*hugglyns Dugglyn* :D
You OK Fera? ^^
@politics: Tbh, I don't remember people talking about it that much after other elections either though. Maybe people tend to just grumble a bit, accept the result and move on?
I guess after the votes have been counted, it's sort of out of the public's hands.... and for most voters in this election, there isn't really a clear winner or loser, because even though the Tories won, they lost a lot of seats and a lot of faith, they actually lost at their own gamble (not for the first time recently); and even though Labour lost, they won a lot of seats, a lot of supporters and a lot of faith in a leader who had beforehand been treated with a lot of controversy, they pulled themselves together and did a lot better than expected. So.... the majority of voters aren't really massively satisfied or dissatisfied I guess.
And then the whole DUP thing is like ...... we've watched our Tory Prime ministers shoot themselves in the foot more than once in the past couple of years - what's once more to add to the collection? It's something that's happening and there's not a lot we can do about it.... maybe it feels more like watching a tv drama than the real leadership of the UK... idk :/
Also not really relevant but I always find the Welsh votes distribution pretty interesting.
If you take a map of Wales showing regions where the coal mining industry was most prominent... and you also take a map showing Welsh speaking population..... they add up uncannily similar to the map of election results in Wales. The collieries correllate with labour constituencies, the Welsh speakers correlate with Plaid Cymru constituencies... and what remains is conservative.
It really shows how much history & culture influences politics and I think that's kind of fascinating :0
They had to join with the DUP. It's their only option. They need a majority to rule and they can't get any of the other parties to ever work with them except the DUP.
After Brexit and Trump, there was a lot of discussion in my sixth form. But we are political little beings here.
@Adra: The thing is that with a minority government we are pretty unstable, and even if you add the DUP to the Tory votes the majority is very small. The Tories would struggle to pass legislation.
Right now, having a stable (for want of a better word) government is particularly important for Brexit negotiations. May called a snap election because she wanted a strong mandate to conduct Brexit, and that's clearly been rejected. We want a good deal with the EU, and we're less likely to get that if the EU are conducting talks with a prime minister that the country has little respect for.
...
Basically May fucked everything up. :P
I know that feeling. I'm okay- I've spent several nights staying up late, so I have a bit of a headache.
@Taia: that makes sense. Trip described to me that Labour was never going to get a majority- but that as long as they got more seats, that was considered a win. Tw tricky stuff :/
Hmm... I think that is making sense. Basically, you're saying that the votes are spread too thin that partisan issues won't be dealt with properly?
That does suck...
So, do you have the feeling that you would rather there be a majority of something, even if it is Tory, rather than having this weird situation? Or not
I'm not very pro-Tory, so no, I'd rather be as we are. In my opinion if the Tories can't get much done that may be a good thing. However, no one can really get anything done in this situation, so I think if we don't have another election we'll probably just be sat around waiting for one for the next five years.
^:P
My emoji got lost somewhere between typing and sending. :(
Ah...
Yeah that is more or less where we are too :o
XD Yeah
I think you might get rid of Trump before the end of his term, the way things are going.
@Noelle aww, try to get to sleep earlier! (If possible)
I should have gone to bed earlier
Jai tried to get me to go to bed earlier
Oops
Hahahahahahaa it's only been a few months and already the government is a mess
So
I bet Star's prediction is pretty accurate
What the fuck were people thinking?
(Rhetorical question. I mean, I know what they were thinking to an extent but like, it was such a bad idea?? Anyway)
I gotta feeling... wooohooo. That tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good good night
Helloo!!!!!!!
So saw Derek today, event with a signing. He was glad to see me cause it's been like 3 years since I saw the man. I showed him the progress on my Skulduggery cross stitching, he was very impressed. Then I showed him a picture of my doggie Astro, again very impressed. Then I robbed a load of badges and transfers, gave him a hug and then came home.
Plus, for the first time in 2 years...
I have Dublin Daes 2 open and starting afresh :)
Sounds like fun, Em!!
And oooh, nice! I have your book, and I'm about half way through, but I've been so busy recently I haven't had time to read :/
But I've really enjoyed the parts I have read!
Let's hope we get that man out of office- soon.
Yay! Congrats, Em!!! And, I'm sure it was lovely :) no spoilers though!!
And @Dugglyn: I'll try xD I just enter Noelle Zone and I black out for a few hours and when I come to it's been six hours since I went to the twilight zone and I'm almost finished with some kind of art piece xD
@Noelle oh dear xD
You literally know when you're reading an excellent authors book when you have to do a physical and mental double take...
And I'm only 20 chapters in!!
Hey everyone x
OMG watching E3 live on Twitter right now.
They have Mario and the Rabbids in the one game. Stupidly cute.
Two weeks ago from today, I was messaging her. Things were normal.
Two weeks ago from tomorrow, she was already gone, before I woke up, I think. I heard around 11, but she'd been gone for a while by then.
*Holds Fabi*
i know i left very quickly last time i said hello, but this time i PROMISE to check for any replies... unless i forget... uh...
hello everyoneee~
[hugs Noelle]
[hugs Maralily] Hey, long time no see. How are you?
Wow the new book is not as good as i thought.
Oops.
I guess that, now that I am busy with the excavation, all falls silent here again
I am so bruised 😂
I know it's been a while and I'm not particularly welcome here anymore, but I thought I would say hey. Semi-successful 19 year old studying Zoology at Uni, possibly heading to Canada next year.
Y'all came up in conversation, so I thought I may as well check in.
You want to know who I miss? The old gang. Zath, Nix, Eve, Thrust, Zaf, Eden, et al. I miss the old days. Maybe it's yearning for my youth (dear lords, I can't even remember the year I first came on) or maybe I just miss always having someone around and there. It was special, all those years ago. Everyone seemed happier and more uplifted.
Now, I'm not saying that right here it isn't happy or anything, but there was just this amazing atmosphere and amazing stories and we would tear through an entire comment section in days (hours, in Eve's case where she spammed the post button and took up a couple pages with her single comment, back when I was dating Eden oml...)
Just funny things like that. Cute and lovely and a family who did stupid shit together.
I miss those days, man...
So
I visited Jerusalem this weekend
Wow
I will write a post later because it's 4:33 and the bus leaves at 4:45
And I must begin my day. I'll be back around 1:30 my time to explain how Jerusalem was
Hope everyone has had a good day so far!
I might be going to Canada in August.
I live almost right next to Canada though.
I have a half-boyfriend (confusing, I know, but it's a long story) that lives in Canada, and I might be going to live with him depending on how far away he is from this uni.
Canada should be epic. And very cold. Especially if you're heading over in August.
Oh, and Adra, that sounds lovely. I'm glad you're having a good time :)
Eh, it won't be that bad. If you want cold, try the midwestern US in January. The windchill made it less than -30 degrees one week
'Member, in Canada, August is in the summer
So it can be warm
Ironically I just got back
And it was upper 70°s, low 80°s
Also going back in August xD
I mean
Not very far north
But still
It's summer!
Also Jerusalem sounds cool!
(I'll check out your blog later to see if you posted there, but it's just after midnight and I have to get up at 7:20 for swim team! Which is currently still a decent amount of sleep, though it's rapidly getting shorter!)
It's Noelle now, but thank you, Rose.
It was fun :)
I'm halfway through the excavation! 3 more weeks to go!
Hello people! Just been reading through some recent (ish) comments, and just wanted to confirm that Pyro and Red are indeed still dating! (5 1/2 years now). Also it has been a long time since I commented here. Don't really chat with anyone much anymore except Niall and Ven like once a year. We meet up like once a year for London Pride which is nice.
God, the times I spent here years ago are always going to be some of the best parts of my life. I'm ashamed I've forgotten so many of the names of those people that have made me who I am today. So many friends that I haven't talked to in years...
I'm really honoured to be one of those mentioned. That list of people holds a special place in my heart.
Dayum... Pyro and Red I haven't heard of in years... Geez.
*tacklehugs Nix*
DUDE. DUUUUUUUDE. DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE. NIX. OH MY LORDS. NIX.
Heeeey!
jfc
NIX.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN STALKING THE COMMENTS?
IT'S ROSE BTW
HOLY SHIT
NIX
OMFG
NIX
NNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
To be honest, I was wondering who you were. It's really nice to see you again.
I check it out every six months or so. Don't usually comment cause it's not active enough. How's it been since I've been gone?
Yeah, I changed my profile a bit after I left because I started up a new blog and got distracted while avoiding uni aha...
I'm so glad you're around. I've missed you. And the others. Omg. I can't believe you're here. I haven't been on for forever. Over a year, I reckon. I come and check it out every now and again, write a couple posts, then head off. I think I've said some stuff to make some of these guys dislike me a bit aha...
How are you? What have you been up to?
Not bad. At uni now, life is satisfyingly dull.
Same here. Except my life has been quite the drama. In fact, I'm considering turning my first tri into a book or TV show because of all the stuff that has happened.
Mind if I ask which uni you're at? I'm at Deakin.
How am I 20 now? How did this happen?
OMINOUS
OH MY GOD
*SCREAMS*
happy birthday by the way ^.^
Hey! I'm sure I called you something different in the past, but its crazy that you mentioned me here and I showed up. well, I guess its not like you just mentioned me... but I kinda feel like I'm answering a call. Also I have no idea why I came here in the first place.
Ah, Rose! nice to see you again. I'm ... er.. really really glad you're doing ok!
Tis I, Rose.
I feel like changing my name on here again, but alas, I don't think I will.
Maybe I'm magic... We just need Sparky and Zath to come back, and we have the crew!
to some, life is just a perpetual cycle of pain and suffering.
Oh my god
I missed Thrust and Nix!!!
What a wonderful mix!! Hi everyone!! *Waves a whole whole lot* I talked to Red the other day- and I may try to meet up with her while I am still here in Israel :) but it has been so long! I'm 18, and just finished my first year at Uni as well ^.^
You all are beautiful and wonderful! I love you all!
By the way, this is Adra/ Adrasdos Dark Hi fam
You know, with everything that has happened to me, I really shouldn't be comfortable drinking?
I've had things happened that involved me needing to go to the police, I've had things slipped into my drink, last night someone injected me with something on the dance floor...
Like, it sucks. Drinking is so bad for you. I've spent so much money on alcohol this week alone, and I've been going out every night for almost a week straight... Though not tonight, thank God.
But last night was actually amazing. I slapped a guy, almost had my nose broken, got invited on stage to drink the last of the wet pussy bottle, made out with some really good looking guys, made out with this one guy who's known to be super kinky *dayum*, and had a pretty good night tbh.
I'm glad you had fun!!
Yes, drinking is very dangerous- that's why knowing your limits is so important. A lot of it is common sense, like eating before you drink.. it's sad that society places so much weight and importance on getting drunk, but the best you can do is be sure you're with people you trust a lot, and know your limits.
Do People still live?
It seems all have perished
I'm glad to see some people are still here sometimes, I was scared I would find a graveyard.
Sorry, I've been absent for a little while. Uni started back up and to be honest, after spending most of last week hungover and having boy issues from Hell (and of course not being used to being on here again), it kind of slipped my mind.
Noelle, with the whole drinking thing... I know my limits. I've been too far too many times to know for a fact where I should sit. And generally, I am careful. I drink until it's fun and make out with a cute stranger until I forget where I am. And living in Australia, and in a university dorm of 80 people, alcohol is in our veins. There are all these parties and all these expectations to be drunk, and even some influential people saying that being out while sober is crap (and yeah, it is in most cases).
I am at the stage in my life where I am going to make all the mistakes I can. I have slept with people I shouldn't have, done things I never thought I would, caused Hell and been on the receiving end of it.
But hey,
it's all part of learning.
And now if y'all will excuse me, I have a blog post to write.
*waves to Blake*
Booo! -attempt to surprise people-
So many little uni-goers, and I'm sitting here with my degree finished. Seems I'll always be too old for you lot. xD
Ey Rose, I did Biology by the way. ;P
Haha, and I still have two years before university!
HEEEYYYYOOOOOOOO
... heck, I remember when the youngest were ELEVEN. So tiny. :P
I want to revive this place
I miss y'all
So much has happened in life
So, I've passed my first year of uni which is fun! I'm glad I don't have to repeat a year xD
Oh I know right? Uni exams are a damn lot harder than the ones in school, at least in my experience. xD
Never had to study so much during school time - but passing is always worth a celebration. I used to buy a lottery ticket after the last exam, cause I always felt like: I'm just as likely to pass all exams as I am to win the lottery. :p
(In the end I only had to repeat half of an exam in three years - but that half exam I had to repeat twice. The prof always failed more than half of his students. Damn organic chemistry lab... )
We should most definitely revive this place to it's former glory
Oh my god guys *hugs you both* how long.... god I miss you
INKY!! *tacklehugs* how have you been???
So I bought some CDs the other day
Jesus christ... You're all here, aren't you...?
*shakes head slowly*
We'll I'll be damnned...
Hello all. I hope y'all are doing well.
No, I'm not here. I'm just a fidgement of your imagination. >.>
Truth be told, I still checked in every couple weeks but had no reason to pipe up... but now there's a zoology student, so I was like: Wooohoo, a topic I know things about!
I was a bit tempted around Trump and Brexit, but politics are so polarising...
On a very science-y note: If any of you like the song 'shape of you', check 'molecular shape of you' on youtube.
-once again stuck in a loop of listening to that song-
-keeps happening-
-don't send help-
Booked my new tattoo for next Saturday!
I always considered having a tattoo, but I'm too indecisive for that. The things I would've chosen years ago are far from what I'd pick now, so I'm probably not fit to decide on a tattoo to get. ^^
Makes the 'inky' in your name very fitting, though.
Haha thanks ^.^
I've got one already and it's amazing! It didn't hurt too much so I want another
And then when I'm ready I want a full back one
Like wings
Currently I'd either get a scientific drawing of a plant (but can't decide which, so many cool plants... ) because they are beautiful to me... or a one line cat. Cause minimalistic things are kinda neat.
But when I was about 14, I'd have gone for a winding dragon on my ancle.
So yes. ... I better not get one at all. xD
What is your other tattoo and what are you considering to get?
I know someone with a really simple cat tattoo that also looks really good.
Cats are still my favourite animals, though I'm not sure whether I'd let my cat roam free... they are damn good little murdering machines.
Did you ever consider getting a tattoo?
My current tattoo is on my though
Sort of a tribal paw print that Jai designed for me ^.^
I want my next on the top centre of my back, a waxing, full, then waning moon, and a pentacle in the full moon ^.^
Sounds fairly cool, I hope it will hurt just as little as the last one. :)
Black and white?
Thank you ^.^
Yep, I prefer just black tattoos cause although they'll fade, it won't look as bad as faded colour
... I'm so pale I have doubts if colour fading will change the visibility at all. Get burned within half an hour. Technically, I'd probably make for a good canvas if only I was more decisive. xD
But hey, I basically get to live with an interactive venes tattoo in light blue. :p On the upside, no nurse has ever had trouble to find a place for the needles. ^^ (Blood donation.)
Yes I have considered it a lot. I'm not likely to get any tattoos in the near future, but there are three ideas I might actually do at some point.
I used to talk about tattoos with my roommate pretty often (she had three, and plans for more), so I'd like to get a sunflower or a daisy tattoo in memory of her. Maybe on my left leg. I drew a sunflower there with temporary tattoo ink and tried it for a week and I really liked it--though it was on the large side.
I have a series of letters I write on my left wrist pretty often, on and off for the past year and a half or so. It has a lot of different meanings for me, and I will probably get it permanently tattooed at some point, but for now I do enjoy re-drawing it.
I also draw dandelions on myself a lot, so I would consider getting some sort of dandelion-themed tattoo, or maybe even just a few dandelion seeds floating up my shoulder or something like that.
Ooooh, another plant-lover. Have you ever googled 'botanical art'? I think you'd quite enjoy it, too. :)
See, I love cats. I honestly do. They're the coolest little asses I've ever met. But see, in Australia, you really shouldn't have them as outdoor pets. They're responsible for so many species of harmless and defencless ground-dwelling marsupials and mammals here...
I'm actually going to get a tattoo soon, I think. Something small and poetic. Maybe a tiny wrought-iron heart on my ankle or something... Because everyone's hearts are a little twisted and become softer with warmth from another.
Do y'all remember when Derek used to comment on here? When he used to grace us with his presence? He'd only be on for a little bit, but there was still that touch of magic he brought with him that brightened everything.
Now it's just dark... And cold... And lonely...
*pokes*
I think it's about time I get to dedicate after all these years, eh?
I dedicate this page to the oldies - the family I met when I first poked my head in in August of whoknowswhen. Ink (Star) was the first person to say hi to me, and Nix and Zath were like the epic older brothers that I'd always wanted.
I miss that family. Sure, the new generation are pretty sweet, but I yearn for the days. I loved that atmosphere. We could talk shit for pages and pages, we could fill a post overnight (for an Aussie). Where Eve spammed the damn post button and filled a few pages of the same comment. Where Eden and I were a thing, then me and Dwyer(?) were a thing, and a few others...
But then again, there has been a lot of shit on this blog that I would much rather not remember - but it needs to be said. This blog made my depression so damn bad, you don't understand. There were certain people who made it worse (I won't throw names around), and people who I shouldn't have been responsible for. I've had several accounts claiming to be Chase email me. I've had people threaten to kill themselves because I was low. When I was planning on going, they made everything worse because they were going to go with me. There have been fights. There have been arguments and heartbreak and some of the world's most painful memories.
Anyone remember the Requiem Ball? We don't do it anymore. It's where I first fell in love. It was the highlight of my year for a while. It was glorious and perfect...
But that was the old days.
It's time to move on.
Now, all you newbies (and Noelle <3) this blog is yours. It's your responsibility. Either you can bring her back to her former glory, or you leave her to dwindle out with a few of you commenting every few days. But either way, the choice is YOURS. It's your turn to make a new Blogland.
Make us proud.
Hear hear.
Heh, I remember stuff even older than that. I remember when this blog had a cliffedge you could jump off, but you'd always safely land in jelly. One time we had a lake filled with liquor, another time we were attacked by an army of trollys.
It was quite insane, for a while, but also insanely fun.
... I think I once had an army of killer-hedgehogs or something.
... of course, they weren't all that deadly.
Still should have a treehouse somewhere round here.
Sparky's treehouse, yeah? And that damn cliff... I even had a base that ended up becoming untouchable because it was filled with acidic liquid light...
Damn. I miss it.
I had my own treehouse! It started off as a nest, cause Aquila was an eagle. ^^
Acidic liquid light? Why did no one give you a vantablack bucket?? Here, have one.
-hands you a vantablack bucket-
Hear hear! I really hope this place can be revived... I've met all you amazing people and it's just been a big part of my life. Like, I talk to Jai all the time, she's my best friend, and although me and Ed aren't together now, we are still good friends
Well, it's fun to have OCs interact? That's a solid base to revive this thing on.. because it was the live of it, in the first place. The whole emotional interpersonal things kinda... made it complicated.
But in the beginning, I think we were all just here to play with our OCs like we'd play with dolls. It's what I still do with Sven, and it's still fun to me.
Dunno, do you guys still have OCs to play with?
Yep ^.^ Inky is forever active in my mind
I guess she's my fursona
Aquila got a lot more sassy by now, and Swirl is a confident mess. They are fun to have in my mind, too. ^^
And Sven has like a whole horde of OCs. I sometimes lose track by now. xD
Not sure I remember Inky well, what's she like ?
She's a very kind and loyal wolf, loves her friends and family dearly. Ed isn't really around much anymore but she does her best for her children
I got a horde of characters too xD I actually made a list of them
I'm still at only two, but I doubt I could handle more. xD
Aquila is fine and fairly normal, but damn. Swirl and her glitter. ... tooo much trouble at times. xD
Technically, Swirl is far more dangerous than Aquila, but you wouldn't know until she shrinks you and cuts your head off with a scythe.
Hehehe awesome!
I think my main characters are inky, tawnee, felix and alys
*stares at the vantablack bucket*
Huh. That's ingenious.
Hello Jo ^.^
See, Rose is gone. She's been gone for a while. All I have is Joph and Sach, and they're angels. Joph is some innocent little kinky thing, and Sach just likes to torture.
Poor Rose...
*salutes Inky*
Rose is still cool if ya want boo :*
See? Ingenious solutions. Imma make that my business. One ingenious solution costs one cookie. The first one is free. -nodnod-
I'll have a cookie-empire in no time.
That means you'll have a dark empire... Doesn't that sound a little Star Wars-y to you?
Hrm, never watched Star Wars. Something about it just rubs me the wrong way... I very much like Star Trek, though.
And, who says they are dark cookies? They may be Leibniz Butterkekse - those are light! (And only original with 42 teeth. -nodnod-)
Correction. The cookies have 52 teeth, it seems. :p
Okay ^.^
I still need to see rogue 1 ;-;
... I still need to see the fifth Pirates movie. Dang, I love those movies. When the first one came out I was eleven, went to see it with my friend - and haven't missed one since. xD
Oh, and the second Incredibles movie is on my list, too. Once it's out.
THE NEW PIRATES IS GREAT
SHHH, DON'T SPOILER ME!
Damn, really need to go and see it soon.
Bbs, food
Okay ^.^ speak soon!
Imma gonna give my hula hoop a whirl
