Some people just get very impassioned on views that matter to them.
*hugs*
Everyone has the right to their own opinions, and you have the right to yours. No one's opinion necessarily makes them stupid.
(*hugs* I just.. can't believe he was so rude and unable to see that others have opinions considering he too is doing psychology, and is in his third year.. and decided to come to the PAGAN society)
so I've had this really great idea for a thing, and I'm being vague about it bc I feel like if I put all the thoughts down then they will stop existing, but basically I love this thing and I need to write it SO DESPERATELY
and I want to write it as a script, because I can see it acted out and filmed perfectly in my head, but the thing is... I know nothing about script writing. nothing at all. and I know it'd be hard to do it the justice it deserves in script format
but
I need to write it as a script. I need to. I feel like writing it any other way would dampen it
and just
I could probably convey everything I wanted to perfectly if I wrote it as just a normal story, but
it wouldn't feel right
pffft I just needed to dump that somewhere.
Hi/Bye
I need to go to sleep.
Good night.
(Grrr I have a lecture in twenty)
@Chloe: :/ Some people are just like that
Much as I detest it, sometimes there is no way to win an argument
You have to just ignore them
@Snow: :/ *hugs* I get that.
Maybe you should practise script writing a bit before giving in a go?
I wish my weight was as low as my self esteem
I'd rather your self esteem were higher.
(*offers hugs to Noelle *
I'm so tired but I have actual responsibilities in uni now)
(Hey?)
(This place is too quiet *cries*)
(fabi and I are still planning on continuing the roleplay we've started, but at the moment it's really hard to organise as there is about and 9 hour difference between us and we're also both dealing with school.)
(Ughhhh too much work to do
One part of my course I have to do two pieces of coursework by Christmas (technically three but one doesn't count) -!; another side we have to do four 400 word essays, the first doesn't count, then a 1800 essay, as well as participate in studies to get 12 credits
And each study is either worth .5, 1 or 1.5 credits)
Hi guys :)
Kinda posted the first official part (rather than a prologue) of my uh story thing... it was me kinda experimenting with action scenes because I suck at them really so the first part is kinda setting up a little bit of the plot and also me experimenting with action scenes in the form of a training session ;)
Also
In other news
I have a girlfriend :)
(awwww well done Lauren!!)
(Going out tonight as Natasha's boyfriend is over
Going to this club called Astoria and every Saturday is oh la la la night and they have fire breathers and shit )
(No one is here at all... *sad chloe noises*)
Hey Inky! *hugs* what happened? Everyone is gone! This is lame. It's been two months without a blog post, really?
It doesn't exactly shock me. Honestly. Well okay maybe it does a little....
(*glomps mat and zaffy*
Everyone's just so busy.. I mean I am now in uni ...)
(*swift profile pic change *)
School is harder this year.
But it's sad how empty it is, though I don't really have time to be on :/
(I constantly have my phone at hand that's how I'm here
I'm doing so much work...
*hugs duggy* how're you Bach)
*hugs Chloe back*
Pretty well, you?
(Hi!
The deleted comment earlier was from me. Sorry about that.
How have you all been? Where did everyone go?)
Omg
So the water here makes tea taste really strange and not very good and
I totally forgot about my tea just now and went to drink in the hope that it might not be completely cold & disgusting yet, and it was stone cold and yet
It was completely drinkable????
Like. hot tea here is shit but the cold tea is amazing and I don't understand what just happened
*hugs Kas*
I'm super busy atm with uni stuff and have like zero free time, & hard as I try I think I've already failed at least one exam (oops), but I'm good. Survived fresher's flu & now I feel super healthy again & one of the societies I joined has the most friendly members and they're so welcoming (like, joining blogland welcoming, it's insane) & I'm trying rlly hard to be sociable and lots of times now I can talk without wanting to die which is really cool and now the cold tea is drinkable too and :) :) :)
PLUS I learned how to take the train home and only had one near-death experience in the process, which is exciting. :)
How are you doing?
*hugs everyone* Hope y'all are well! <3
Also @Chloe your tattoo looks rlly cool!! :0
(TAIAAAAA)
*cuddles Chloe* C:
(lmao i have 2 sheets of problems due tomorrow & I can't do half of either. why am i so bad at this .-. )
(*hugs taia* j hope you managed them now..)
Glomp is such a funny word!
I too am busy with uni, but then to be fair I was busy with uni back when I was super active on the blog too, it just wasn't as bad. I suppose people are growing up and moving on.
For what it's worth I'm also likely to fail this semester :D
*enthusiastic high fives for everyone*
It's crazy to think how many years this blog has been around though. I will always miss the early days! Can't believe there hasn't even been a tour post or reflection on the Demon Road series, now that it's over. This used to be Derek's place to vent and rant and make funny jokes about how he hates blogs. /sigh
I'm at Uni too now well I call it college same concept. You know what? It': gonna be Derek's birthday and Skully's Death Day...Just realized. Damn. I'm impressed I remembered honestly
Anyhow. I had a sudden remeberance of Zavel the other day. I had to explain that entire thing to my suite mates and it was determined I'm crazy. Haha!
(I miss this blog
I mean, I was on and off for the first few years but I became consistent when I left school summer 2014
That's when I made connections here
This is where I met Jai who is one of my best friends and I e also made friends with all of you guys
This is where I met Jack
We are still going strong and our two month anniversary is going to come around 1st Feburary
This place has played a big role in my life)
Thanks Chloe. I did get a few more answered, so it'll probably turn out OK. :)
Hey Matex. :)
*high fives* I feel like I'm on track for a fail rn as well. I used to be clever, dammit, what happened? :P
*shrugs* I mean, growing up & moving on isn't limited to kids. I guess Derek has a right to grow, too. Maybe it's harder for him to fit the blog into his schedule, just like it is for us.
Blogland will always be what made me, and I miss a lot of friends from a lot of different times. Even though it's kinda quiet around here right now, and I don't visit very often (not that I was ever so reliable tbh), it's still grand to be able to say hey and catch up and see that a lot of people I care about are still kicking around here too. Y'know? You guys are the best. <3
@Zaf: I feel like Zavel must be a pretty cool claim-to-fame though. "Oh yeah I just inspired this thing in these bestselling books it's no big deal" :P
How are you guys finding uni & college? Having a good time?
(Hi!
*hugs Taia back*
*frowns*
I'm over a day late.
I'm glad you're no longer ill and have found new friends :)
I have also joined several communities but one is just freaking me out but the people there are still pretty nice but ahh it's probably not a place for me.
Although... I should stay for now. Probably just spend less time there instead.)
Thanks Kas :)
It's great that you met some nice people, but I hope you end up with a group you're more comfortable in too. Idk I guess you could even keep in touch with some of them outside of that group or something if that would work out better.
(Hello? )
(🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄)
That's kinda how I explained. My defense the eyes....I laugh sometimes remembering the craziness of waiting for KOTW and LSDM....Heh
Fun actually. It''s fun to explain to people really like yeah that was me.
I'd never be able to keep a straight face probably in front of others if I got to go to a signing. Then again I would want to keep my identity a secret until I was up front haha. I think the American accent would give me away though. That and I probably would be too excited...and end up being like yeah that's me I was the one to want to help take over the world.
My death is so what would be my luck though I actually laugh through reading my death because it was fun to think yup that would be me.
Writing with daddy makes me happy
It is his birthday today (the 23rd)
Happy birthday ❤️ I love you
Happy birthday Derek! :)
@Zaf: I hope you manage to get to one some day! Haha, one of these days I'll finally read up through the last 3 books and find out how it happens :P
@Noelle: :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK
HAPPY DEATHDAY SKULDUGGERY
Huh, didn't know his birthday was the day after mine. What're the odds? Happy birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEREK LANDY!
I will forever owe to you the start of my writing career, and I can't thank you enough for that.
Oh! Happy birthday to Derek, too
My original post was for daddy, who also has his birthday today :)
(Penblwydd hapus Derek!)
(Wait.. am I late?
Oh well
I'm in lecture now?
Belle and Zelena are so annoying
How's life, y'all?
WHY CANT REGINA EVER BE HAPPY (has just seen last rites)
I do not know I don't watch that show [shrugs apologetically]
(MY FAMILY ARE VISITNC TODAY)
Hehe butts
[pokes Trip]
YA know wat i want Gad old Derek to put in his stories?....
AN ASIAN GUY
*pokes head out from the shrubbery and looks around awkwardly*
I'm not sure what's happening. Somebody's birthday? Lectures? Well, I just finished my exams for the year, so no more lectures for me! Summer holidays here I come.
(It's Rhona's birthday!!!
She's twenty and I feel like a baby
Not in the fact that I'm the youngest In my flat, but everyone takes ages doing makeup and I wear none)
For what it's worth, I'm twenty as well and I never wear makeup :D
(But you're a dude
I'm an 18 girl)
(I love Jack
He's the one I'll marry
Never will have eyes for another
But it's a bit disheartening when guys start flirting with your friends but only flirt with you as a last resort
Why am I always a last resort?)
(Oops. ... walked into flatmate having sex )
It's perfectly acceptable for men to wear makeup.
In fact, some of the best makeup artists that I follow, like jonysios, are men.
Indeed, but I joking, lighten up Inky! :)
Sorry to hear about Jack; that sort of stuff is just sad! I don't know, I like to be optimistic and think that it's irrelevant and not really flirting if it's with anyone else, but really meaningful with you. But that's just my imagination, what do I know?
Walking in on your flat mate sounds... awfully awkward. This is why you should keep in the bedroom.
(She was but she forgot to lock her door
I walked into to make sure she wasn't throwing her guts up )
(Fuck! I made it seem like jack was flirting!
No I mean when your in a club )
(I just mentioned Jack to clarify that I don't want guys to flirt with me )
(Good god jack doesn't flirt with girls!)
Oh that makes sense, my apologies, I misread!! Perhaps you're a last resort because most guys know that you have Jack and tend to leave you alone?
I'm not going to lie, but it's always a relief to see all of you guys still on here... I'd get far too worried if I found someone missing.
I swear I came on here for a reason, but I can't remember anymore.
Well, I'm not dead either guys. Always keep fighting and remember that every single one of you are enough <3
(Nah
Jack cannot come out because he's to young
Awwww hello Danni)
(I miss everyone ;-;)
Missing someone sucks.
(It does)
oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen it all
And when push comes to shove,
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love
All alone
Watch them run
They will tear themselves to pieces
Jesus Christ this will be fun!
KING George <333
im willing to wait for it...
wAIT FOR IT
Wait for butts?
hehe
Love doesn't discriminate
between the sinners
and the saints,
it takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep loving anyway
(YOU GYYS ARE AWESOME!!!)
Now what I'd miss?
OMLI Chloe XD
Wait for it is actually how I introduced Ari to Hamilton
And now we are both loyal fans
(*grins* it's in the uk next year )
@Noelle niceeeee
@Chloe that's awesome! It's coming to some theater in Seattle some time in 2017-2018
That is all I know XD
It most became our song because it's so good.. the whole musical is just a lot of fun
I love it so much <3
If you like Hamilton I recommend you watch this!!

Hehe
SPoooooooooooooky butts
*Adra finishes her make up and, once she has gotten alek to stop dreaming in fear, she helps him into his costume*
*He is a little pumpkin, per his insistence* *Cara is a pretty little witch with a hat and a wand* *Theyre just so /wiggly/*
*Alastair will join them, once his makeup is done* *the children are so cute* You're a beautiful little witch, Cara. And Alek, you make an adorable pumpkin.
*Alek immediately begins to scream and cry when he sees his daddy, thinking that he is hurt*
*Cara is not deterred, and she instead goes over to Niccolò, to take his hand*
*Zafira is simply lurking around by her treehouse*
(I is all steampunked for tonight!)
(*picture change*)
Oh, my dear Aleksander- I'm alright. It's just pretend. *he will pick up the little boy, if he lets him, and sends him soothing emotions* There's nothing to be afraid of.
(Damn it didn't work..)
*Trip steps out of the treehouse shadows. There is a sheet over his head, You wouldn't even know it was him if not for the vaguely misanthropic voice*
Boo.
*Alek whimpers, and just holds his daddy* *Noelle will come out and hug Niccolò*
*Cara will scream in fright at Trip*
*Trip chuckles*
It's me, a spoooky bedsheet!
*Cara is just so scared, and she hides behind Uncle Niccy*
*a gloved hand pops out from an unseen flap in the sheet, filled with sweets*
Would you like a peppermint? Or maybe a Werther's?
*Cara just screams* *Noelle looks sternly at Trip* Quit teasing her, she doesn't know it's you.
*Trip takes off the sheet*
*It looks quite nice- Egyptian cotton*
Hey kiddo!
(Sorry for vanishing, my wifi died)
*Cara is so confused, but will waddle over for a hug*
*he kneels down to give her a hug and some sweets*
Are you having fun dear?
*Alastair will pet Alek's head, to try to help him calm down* Hello, Trip.
*Cara nods, still scared* Yeah. *Holds out her little pumpkin bucket for him to put her candy in*
*Alek just hides and cries*
*just continues to hold and pet him* It's alright... it's only pretend, Aleksander. I'm fine.
*Zaffy is in a clearing surrounding herself with shadows*
Halloween. I love this time of year.
*The little boy is feeling better, and hides against daddy* *Adra rubs his back* It's ok.. do we wanna go?
Yes, I believe so.
*Niccolò is dressed as a banana, and hugs Noelle back* Will we go with them?
(having a bit of wifi malarkey)
*He drops in an assortment of old man sweets* Happy Halloween! That's a lovely costume you're wearing, were did you get it?
*He looks up* Hey Alistair, Adra. You guys enjoying yourselves?
*Zaf ventures out in search of possibly anyone around, probably the first time in a long time she really tried to be social*
*nods* We are, thank you. Are you?
*Cara looks in, and makes a face* *Turns to Adra* Mom!
*Adra nods and will lead them all outside to go from house to house with the kids*
*Noelle is with Niccolò* *Noelle is a pear* Hi!
*is pretty sure he sees movement in the trees*
Well, a bit bruised from yesterday, but otherwise, yes.
Why, hello Noelle, Niccolo. Good to see you again. How've you been holding up since our last meeting?
*Noelle is shy* Ok.
*She is a pear bc that is her body shape* *:/*
*Niccy is a good banana though*
*fuckin loves pears don't diss em*
*Also I've seen pictures this is lies*
-
Well, I still owe you an adventure at some point, we shall have to organise it.
*Niccolò is glad Noelle is there* I am- doing a lot better, actually, thank you. How are you doing?
Oh, well, I get by. Yesterday was a lot of work, but now I get to wear a bedsheet over my head and see the family, so it all balances out really. It's good to hear you're doing well.
*Noelle will just hold Niccy's hand*
*Adra will lead them all to the first house, and help Cara knock*
Well, I'm glad today is better. *he will follow the group with Noelle*
*Alastair will still hold Alek, if he would like to be held, but will bring him to the door with Cara*
*A nice woman will open the door* Hello!
*Cara tries to say trick or treat", but it comes out like "trigger treat"* *The woman will give both Alek and Cara little sweets* *Alek will wave goodbye to her*
*that is sweet* *Alastair is happy Alek is comfortable enough to wave*
*The little boy just clings to his daddy* *Last Halloween he couldn't be with his daddy..*
*he is sorry- he wishes he could've been there* *but he's glad he can be now* *kisses Alek's head*
*Alek loves his dad, and wiggles up into his arms* *Adra thinks they are cute as they walk up to the next door* *Alek reaches out- he wants to knock*
*He will lean in and pap softly*
*and he loves Alek* Would you like to knock together, my dear Aleksander?
*Alek nods, and will wait for his daddy to take his hand*
*A few teenagers will answer, wish them happy Halloween and a good evening, then give them both a handful of sweets- Nerds, gummy bears, snickers- Adra will have to make sure the kids don't eat the candy all at once*
*this is sort of nice- it doesn't seem like anyone is trying to kill them so far* *he will check everything to make sure, of course, but this is the most nonviolent interaction he's had with strangers in a long time*
*Alek is feeling a little better, and he holds his bucket in the crook of his arm* *He wants to go to the next house, and will demand to have his daddy walk there for him*
*The next house gives each of the kids a full candy bar* *:0*
*Alastair will walk him wherever he wants to go* Is there normally this much candy?
*Adra nods* Around here, yeah.
*The next house will have an elderly couple, who greet them and dawn over the cuteness of the kids* *This is a cool house- they give the kids little goodie bags* *Both kids say thank you*
*he is so proud of the children, and will bring them to the next house*
*A single mother is there, but she will give them more sweets* *The kids love all of the free candy and are so excited* *Alek whines- he wants a Niccolò to hold him now*
*then he will hand Alek to Niccolò, who is flattered and happy to hold him*
(Beep boop)
*Alek bounces a little with Niccy, curling up against his chest* *He is so tiny but still really connects with Niccolò*
*Adra comes over and takes her husband's hand* hey
*and he feels that he connects with Aleksander* *still, he feels so fortunate that Alek trusts him so much*
*Alastair kisses her hand* Hello.
*Niccolò might feel a small sense of affection emitting from Alek* *He sucks on his finger as Niccy walks with him*
How is my victim doing this evening?
(Okay
Now that Halloween has passed I'm willing to get festive)
Some times i wonder.......what do
people do in these blogs.......??????
http://theatticofmanyartisticthings.blogspot.com/?m=1
New post on my blog..
(My stomach hates me )
(Hello....?)
(I may become a teacher)
That's cool, Chloe!
...
Hey Noelle, how are you doing?
*grumbles and rolls over blocking a river to kill a town slowly*
(Why thank you duggy
May do primary school teaching!)
(Alright there snorlax?)
(I feel so bad )
( not really
why?)
(What's up? Message me??
It doesn't matter..)
I'm so scared
Wtf is wrong with this country
I'm going to kill myself now
Ah crap
Should've known this would happen after Brexit
*sits and waits for this to sink in*
(Good luck, America )
@Noelle Please don't kill yourself <3
@The election
...
...
...
I did what I could. I voted, and it sure as hell wasn't for the orange.
Please be safe, my dear Noelle...
(I'm so sorry guys...)
Im... scared
Yesterday I went to vote and then I bought myself alcohol... and im glad I did haha
... im no longer associating myself with America ;) im not American... im an honorary Canadian right now ;) im moving to Canada asap
My only hope right now is impeachment... or Michelle Obama running for president in 2020...
Im just glad that I live in California... even if the gay marriage laws are repealed by Trump its not likely to affect me because well... California ;) we're liberal... we even voted to legalize marijuana (well not me personally but eh)
There have been riots in my state
And Lady Gaga protested outside Trump Tower because shes awesome
But yup... im scared... im ashamed... and... I was hopeful
I was hoping that we wouldnt make the same mistake as Britain with Brexit... I hoped that we would be better than that... I didnt look at any polls... keeping a good view.. and hope until the very last moment
But nope... I was wrong... my country sucks, and its full of morons... its a sad day to be an American
The worst part??? Clinton got more votes... she actually received more votes than Trump which is a small, small comfort that not everyone here is stupid... but ofc he won even though he got less votes because #Democracy
There are actually calls here for California to be independent, and honestly I kinda support it... here we're very liberal, very open-minded and to see Trump become President... he wont be ours, and he'll never be ours
But who knows... we might live in a society where, as a woman, if im raped I wont be able to have an abortion, and as a lesbian, I wont be able to get married
I cant express how I feel right now... im just empty, and full of dread... ill admit... im no patriot... the only reason why I prefer America over other countries in the world is because we have things like same-sex marriage and abortions which some countries dont...
And now, its gone. America is just a rock ruled by a moron, on behalf of morons... it isnt a symbol of hope, or an example of freedom which other countries should aspire towards... its just full of hate
Our next president is a sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic bigot, who boasts about sexually assaulting women, has been accused of the same... someone who has declared bankruptcy 4 times, someone who has pledged to make an abortion a punishable offence, and to repeal same-sex marriage laws...
So yup im not an American anymore... might live here... but im not an American... im a proud Californian, and im also proud of Minnesota (where I was born) for being awesome as always, but im not proud of my country... I feel nothing but despair and anxiety right now
When you're hungry you can smell every food nearby
(Ugh! Lecture on the data protection act)
Yo guys?
If California goes independent, y'all will screw over the rest of the country. We need your electoral votes or the rednecks will pull us all into even more of a political sinkhole.
And if Trump is impeached, we get Mike Pence as president. He's less spotlighted than Trump but he's at least as scary. He's also more extremely homophobic.
Bern baby Bern 2020
Seconded.
(Hello?)
I know ;) its nice to matter :) But the thing is... with the electoral college system states with a few people in get a better representation in elections than we do... a vote in Wyoming for example is worth around 3x as much in the electoral college system as a vote in California is... if it was a fair system where equal amounts of people got the same representation in the electoral college, we'd actually have 65 instead of 55
So basically we get ganged up on by small states which shouldnt have the power they do to influence elections haha
Ive always hated the electoral college system, id much prefer a true democracy where the majority of the people speak but eh it is what it is
Dissatisfaction is kinda high here though... as you can imagine...
Oh god Pence... I was actually talking about that with one of my other online friends
His point was "oh hey theres no reason to worry Trump said hed protect LGBTQ people" and he showed me a video of Trump saying that hed protect LGBTQ citizens from hateful foreign ideologies (probably after the Orlando shootings)
My response was:
a) he didnt mention hateful internal ideologies
b) he said that he would at least consider removing the same-sex marriage law
c) Pence... if Trump gets impeached (which might happen because of fraudulent practises or something along those lines), Pence will happen... and lets just take a look at his resume:
He opposed LGBTQ people being entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws
He wanted government funding to be taken away from LGBTQ organizations in favor of giving it to conversion therapy programs which change peoples sexuality (through things like electroshock therapies)
He opposed LGBTs being in the military
He opposed an act which would have banned workplace discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation
He opposes same-sex marriage and civil unions
Im fairly sure there is a reason to worry right now ;) before the election someone was saying "a vote for Trump is a vote for Pence"... which might end up being true really
My girlfriend refers to Pence as 'Mike "shock the gays away" Pence'... put it that way ;)
(-snorlax used hyperbeam- )
( a Tree falls and no one is around to hear it, did it even fall ? )
The difference is, I don't think Trump believes in most of the things that comes out of his mouth. He just caters to the white racism ingrained in my country to gain support (which is no less terrible)
But pence?
Well here is the thing.
My mom is good friends with Pence's cousin, and has met him. When my mom met him, she said he was normal, that he wasn't insane like he appears now.
I don't know what to think, because no politician is ever going to be their true self anymore, it seems.
From what I've heard, and as much as I hate Trump, Pence sounds more dangerous.
But Noelle, what you say is interesting.
The things he has says he believes and doesn't believe in....
@Snorlax Yes it did. Are you ok?
( -rolls over- not really. my life has fallen and no one has noticed or cares they just see firewood. )
( this place has really died.... and a part of me has with it, )
( I remember a time when 10mins would go by and you'd be on a new page)
Well... things happened and now it isn't but like that anymore
( did things happen since the other things that happened? )
(I is here)
(Going home this weekend ^.^)
