Just a short note to let you know that if you have any younger brothers or sisters and they like a fun, creepy little scare on the run-up to Halloween (and really, who doesn't?) then my suggestion is to check out Frankenkids, by Annie Graves.
Annie Graves may or may not have been helped out in the ideas department by a gent called David Maybury. The name sound familiar? I've developed a habit- especially in the short stories- of killing off the Maybury brothers in increasingly horrible ways, and the real-life David Maybury is now trying to get his own back. In Frankenkids, the poor boys who are the victims of the terrible Uncle Fraser are named Landy, and the older one is called Derek...
I'm not going to tell you what terrible fate befalls them. All I will say is that David Maybury better watch out. In the next short story, he's getting his head cut off.

Sorry I left before. The time snuck up on me and I had to do my homework. :P
And to Dylan: HELLO!
Eve, have you seen the message Death left on the previous page?
If not, go look.
Yeah, I saw it. It was a nice, err, 'going away' message. I must congratulate Death on how many times she didn't leave. :P
Gotta go now, bye!
Bye Missy!
Well, that was sweet.
Thanks, Death. I think.
I don't know.
BUT ME AND SPARRRRRRKKKKKYYYY ARE FRIENDS AGAAAAAAAIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN! it makes me much more cheerful than I was last night! XD YAY FOR FRIENDS. :3
HI PEOPLE!
Wbd, gotta do A WHOLE HISTORY ASSESSMENT. *dunnnn, dun, DUUUUUUUUUH!*
HOW WILL I LIVE???
Answer: I won't; I'm already dead. I died of Merlin Deprivation. :)
And, happily, I have no other homework other than that that immediately claims my attention . . . :)
I take a packup to school every Tuesday coz I have Strings Orchestra. Two Tuesdays ago I wpilts cheese all over my bag. This Tuesday my strawberries squashed and covered my bag in strawberry juice . . .
I'm such a fail. XD
PLEASESAYSOMEBODY'SHERE . . .
I'MHERE!!!
I'M HERRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE. C':
kind of.
Msd, though. I'm so fickle, today. D:
Hmm. I have written two lines in my history book and both of the lines start with the word One, both with capital letters. How unusual. (One of the important long term -c-a-u-s-e-s- reasons for the start of World War One was nationalism. *'causes' being crossed out'*)
Hi Ari + Luce!
WHat is your FaAVouriTE COlOur???
bLuE!
OOo, mine is ReD!
Argh! Gotta go to school now :P
See you guys later!
SeE yoU LaTEr aRIaNa!
TEN MINUTES DOWN, FIFTY TO GO. :)
Does anybody know another word for another?
What context is it to be used in, Star?
Another, as in, another important cause of World War One is . . .
(Yes, yoy can guess what this assessment is about. :P)
"Not only this but ... was a cause of World War One, as well." ?
"Furthermore, .... effected the situation in ... and therefore caused World War One." ?
THANK YOU. :)
For Christmas, I want a Theasauras. It would help me write Rebellion quicker as well.
Why would you need a thesaurus when there's www.dictionary.com ? It's faster and there are more words. This is one of those rare moments that I prefer technology to other stuff :P
In Maths today and yesterday our teacher was away so we were just pointed to a page in a textbook and told to carry on working from there all lesson. Naturally, everybody ended up doing very little and just sitting there chatting all lesson . . . I learnt that the girl who sits next to me in Maths has written this story and a friend of her family who publishes stuff had a look at it and told her it was very good and that when she was older he'd help her publish it . . . O_O JEALOUS!
Also she recommended Catherine MacPhail's books to me.
And we talked about so much other irrelevent stuff . . . Teeth . . . Barbeques . . . Secret code (I showed her a glimpse of mine yesterday and today she started inventing one) . . . Writing with left and right hands . . . Signatures . . .
Yesterday Maths lesson was the longest real life conversation I've had in years. I'm such a sad person. XD
:(
I like real dictionary/theasarus/whatevers. LESS HASSLE. Unbelievable, but true in my brain.
I NEVER WANNA HEAR YOU SAAAAAY,
I WANT IT THATTA WAAAAYYYY
Pointless is on. Which explains my outburst of that song. :P

PLEAAAAAASE
Flame, is you're still here: I can't comment on anythink still, but- THAT WAS AWESOMESAUSOME. The new version's definately better, I think, and the original was awesome enough anyway. :)
THANKIES.
WELCOMIES.
(Yes, that was a little late . . . :/)

BYE!
*HUGGIES ALL*
FOURS FLAME!
*wonders whether nationalism or alliances were the most important long term cause of the first world war* Nationalism was, I think, the reason for Militarialism and Imperalism, the other two long term causes. But if not for alliances, there would only be two countries warring, so no WORLD War . . .
GAHHHHHH. It's Alliances. It has to be.
No it doesn't. IF NOT FOR THE OTHER LONG TERM CAUSE, THERE'D BE PEACE, SO NO WAR!
Not necessarily. I'M SURE A WAR WOULD'VE STARTED SOMETIME.
Yes, but not necessarily THIS war!!!
Does it matter? It would have been a World War, whatever else.
Yeahhhhh . . . But not THIS world war! And I'm doing about this one!
*looks around, embarrassed* Ahem . . . Er . . . Sorry about that . . .
*CAUSES
S'NATIONALISM. IT CAUSED THE OTHER CAUSES.
TRUE. BUT NO ALLIANCES, NO /WORLD/ WAR.
OH, NOT THIS AGAIN. THE OTHER COUNTRIES COULD'VE JOINED IN EVENTUALLY ANYWAYS, EVEN WITHOUT ALLIANCES. THEY COULD'VE GOT ANNOYED AND SO JOINED THE WAR TO STOP IT QUICKER.
Actually, I've changed my mind. S'militarialism.
NO, NATIONALISM!!!! IT CAUSED MILITARIALISM!!!!
ACTUALLY. IMPERALISM. /IMPERALISM/. HAS TO BE.
SO NATIONALISM, AS THE CAUSE OF IMPERALISM.
YUSSSSSS.
/FINALLY/, WE IN AGREEMENT! :)
Without alliances it wouldn't have gone world wide, Star.
However, the war itself wasn't caused by the alliances, but by nationalism. And therefore proving that nationalism is the first cause for World War One and thus showing it to be the most important cause. :3
Hope I helped!
*coughs* Yes . . . Sorry . . . Debating with myself actually does help me decide things . . . Like what happens next in my stories. :)
*nods* L, YOU'RE AWESOME. :)
I do GCSE History. I kind of have to show ny talent with every part of history despite any intelligence I may be lacking. Which means I have to be able to write a grade A paragraph/essay with limited knowledge. :3
BASICALLY, I'm good at history. c:
BETTER THAN ME . . . :/
I HAD A REALLY BAR HISTORY TEACHER LAST YEAR. MADE HISTORY ONE OF MY WORST SUBJECTS. AT PARENTS' EVENING MY MUM WANTED TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY HISTORY TEACHER, AS MY MUM SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE GOOD AT ENGLISH AND (wait, why the caps???) not at history. (I'm good at English plus my English teacher really liked me, so yay there). Then afterwards me mum, because she's just awesome sometimes, set she could completely get why I had a problem with my teacher because she was just absolutely rubbish at explaining stuff, and that my mum only understood what she was on about because my mum used to teach English and History, and then my mum told me she'd tell me in a few seconds what was taking my history teacher so much effort to explain, and then she did so, and I was like, "AHHHHHH, right. I get it now." AMAZING HOW MY HISTORY TEACHER SPENT A TERM TRYING TO TELL US ABOUT SOURCES AND FAILED. :P HOW DID SHE GET A JOB???
For about three years I taught myself History. :P
Sources are easy. :3 You just need to know how to write about them. It's pure technique. I'm great at it. :3
My mum told me how it was the same as English. It was THEN that it properly clicked with me and I started wondering how exactly I was not good at this. :P
Haha, bless.
Part of my G&T covers history. I put no effort in. XD
This year, my history teacher is called Mrs Drake. DRAKE!!!!!! O_O *terror* When I saw where she had written her name on the board, I just froze for about five minutes and completely stopped listening, just staring at it. There's this poster that she supposedly did on the classroom wall as well, and it has her name along the top. FREAKS ME OUT.
Bbs, gotta make sure my bro and sis get to bed and STAY to bed . . . I babysit them on Tuesdays.
Drake!
I'm good at history but I only because I looked at the history and military history channel.
History early on in school is quite boring.
In Ireland we mostly do the famine.
I have read books about the Romanovs, the Crimean war, WWI and WWII and about Napoleon and Russia's involvement in the Napoleonic wars.
Will be distant.
Hey Willow,
I'll be distant.
hey peeps!!
In history I specialize in ancient Egypt, ancient Greek, Romans, Aztecs and basically any of the more ancient things. XD But I've studied things such as both world wars and Jack The Ripper and...
Yeah.
I'll shut up, now.
Author war!!
GAHHHH. Little brothers are so annoying. I read to my eight-year-old to him for fifteen minutes, then spent quite a while explaining nth terms to him. Then I had an attempt at explaining quadractic sequences, which failed. Then I told him that positive + negative = negative and that negative + negative = positive. Then he wanted me to carry on talking so I tried to explain about the four squares of graph, but he hadn't plotted coordinates before so I gave up. Then he told me about how many pencils and rubbers he can balance on his ruler and his other rubber in the time it takes his teacher to go through one question with the class. Needless to say, he's good at Maths . . .
Bb in 15.
*I read to my eight-year old brother for . . .
Gtg!! Seey'all!!
HERE NOWWWWW. :)
Can't be on for very long, but hey Star!
How's life?
Okay. How'd yours?
And HI!
It's pretty funny actually.
I've just found a load of emails from when I was younger.
I wrote this when I was 11:
Reasons why you want to vote Lib Dems.
1) They haven't got Gordon Brown as a leader. (too old)
2) They haven't got David Cameron as a leader. (too posh)
3) They have yellow as their logo.
4) They destroyed everybody else in the live debate.
5) We all like the name Nick.
6) We all like the nickname.
7) We think the Green party is too small.
8) We think the Labour party makes us work.
9) We think the Conservitives are too big/pig headed.
10) We don't need the Marmite party in control.
Aren't I amazing..
*laughs*
My mum and dad used to be Lib Dem supporters. Now my mum supports Labour . . . My dad, as far as I can see, supports nobody. They're really against the Tories being in charge . . .
Somebody...? Anybody....??
Hi Cali!
HOLY CRAP GUYS, MY ORCHESTRA IS GOING TO BE ON KOMO 4 NEWS AND TWO OF MY BEST FRIENDS WERE INTERVIEWED. THIS IS AWESOME.
(But neither of them decided to mention their amazing friend Ivy...)

Ugh ok...

Hi Zaf!

Although, I hate school, so...
Hi to you as well.
My English homework was to fill in the blank (bold, in this case). Tell me what you think.
Ethel wanted that red coat after Ghastly offered it to her.
James tried out for soccer because he had eight legs.
Peggy danced until the lions ate her.
We'll play this game if Panem is real.
The children looked for
pretty shells wherever the monsters were.
I am practicing two hours each day so that I can rip your head off.
Look at the bright side even though it's dark out.
Give me a smile although you have no mouth.
He will keep on driving until the llama comes.
The detective followed the tall man while Valkyrie glowered in the Bentley.
My sentences are the best. *nods*
Lol!!! Niiiiice
Hahaha! wonder if your teacher agrees.
Hilarious.
*shrugs* She thinks there's something wrong with me anyway.
My English teacher told us we're terrifying. After what I wrote for what my favourite book is, aaaah. Then thr scene with Scapegrace and Thrasher in the middle of a fight that we wrote for The Most Dangerous Game
Oh yesss i am re-reading KOTW
My English teacher doesn't care.
Whether I'm crazy or not, he's grateful for me not disturbing the class.
He's told me I'm a good writer, which was awkward for him..
He's told my mom not me really, but whatever.
My class is very loud.
My class is all Honors kids so we smart
I'm smart.
My class is too. They're just loud.
what's your favorite comic strip?
I'm in honors classes so we're all quiet too...

*distant
Aha, it's fine :)
Hey Star! I've been getting a lot of homework and then I've been doing my music, which is why I haven't been on a lot.
Hi Ieni!
Hi - might have to disappear soon for dinner.
I was reading more of my emails from years ago today.
i tlked like dis 2 ppl cuz i thought it woz kl
*kills youngser self (creating a paradox)*
I’d like to dedicate to a couple of things, but mainly happiness…So, here goes (I’m not in a dedicating mood so I apologize!)…
Happiness is an option. You can choose whether you wish to be happy or not. And, I know you’re all going to choose the right option when it comes down to it. But, in case you’re not too sure…
Life without happiness would be no life worth living. I’m only happy because of all of you. You are all my friends, or family. You’re more like family to me, I guess. So, my family are the reason I am happy. There’s always a reason to be happy, and you’re mine! I’m sure you’ll be able to find someone, or something, that will make you happy. No matter how little this thing may seem, hold onto it! Never let the happiness go.
There’s a girl I know, here in Blogland, and she’s one of the strongest people I’ve ever known. She’s been through a lot, especially recently. And she’s often overlooked, but she’s still fighting. She might tell herself every day that she’s ugly or worthless…But that’s not the case. She’s young and beautiful and more amazing than I could ever be! I can’t imagine a world without her, because the effect she can have is immense – whether you realise it straight away or not. The name you know her by is Willow, and I think it suits her. Because Willow is beautiful, just like her. Keep smiling, sweetie.
I remember when I was younger…I wasn’t quite as bad as I am now. I was nowhere near as bad, actually. I could still smile and carry on, despite everything. But now? Now I can’t seem to carry on and smile at everything, no matter how bad things get. Not like I used to. Because now I know what it’s like to be loved and to care about other people – I know what it’s like to have hope. I now can’t bear to be without you all, because you are all the reasons that I am living, right now. Flame, in particular (especially recently)! Now I can’t seem to go a day without breaking down into tears, because I can’t cope. But the only thing that keeps me going is getting home to talk to those I love. The only thing that keeps me going is this fandom, no matter how ridiculous I sound.
Every morning I write on my wrist ‘don’t lose hope,’ (thank you, Derek and Joe! I love you guys more than anything! <3) and ‘don’t die,’ (Zath, thank you so much! You’re perfect:3). I also read a certain e-mail sent to me by the amazing Flameeeeeeee, because it was one of the nicest things I’ve ever read. Every positive thing about me I read I remember. I force myself to remember it, even if I struggle to accept it. I’m doing better than I used to. Now, I can accept that I’m clever, which is more than I used to be able to accept! :D and there is only one group of people to thank for that – this fandom. So, I thank you all for being your perfect selves.
I hope that you’ll never ever lose hope and keep fighting. If I had one wish it’d be for you all to be happy, because that’s all I want in life. I know it sounds stupid, but I honestly only want your happiness. Please remember that you’re loved by someone and if you only do one thing today, please let it be that you just smile. Because a smile can make the world of a difference, just like a simple compliment.
Thank you to everyone that has read this, I hope that you will be happy as often as you can be, because being sad/depressed/angry/annoyed or anything but happy is generally not worth it. I promise you. I know I fail to be happy a lot, I’m sorry. I just want you all to be happy, because that makes me even happier! I love you all, even those of you I don’t particularly like…Don’t die; don’t lose hope; don’t let anyone tell you you’re not perfect and be brave…A smile can save a life, just remember that. <3
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
It all fit in one comment for the first time in what feels like forever! YES! :D *happy dances around her kitchen*
I JUST PRINTED OUT 80 PAGES. 'TWAS QUITE A JOB. EXPLAINS WHY I DISAPPEARED FOR /OVER AN HOUR/ . . .
*looks at ded* SO TRUE. :)
Yeah.
Hi Eden!
Hi star.
How's you?
Hey Star again!
Hey Eden :)
Hey Ieni againien!
Computer's being slow -_-
I was going to say something, but I forgot what it is...
Oh wow. I thought I posted this, but apparently not.
Stupid electronic devices.
I know! I'm on facebook chat with 2people and the messages keep being not sent, so I have to keep re-writing them.
I think it's working now though.
www.theinsignificanceofthisblogisunreal.blogspot.co.uk/
GO REAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd.
That blog always makes me smile. :)
That blog always makes me think! ;D
Gtg, dinner.
Bye, Star! :3
Luciana - your blog is so honest and sincere - I love it! I'm writing really slowly and one-handed, because something's up with the computer screen and I have to hold this button down to keep it on.
*lets go*
Ooo...I think it's working now.
Awh! Thank you! :3
I like to know what people think of what I say.
Feedback always helps me. (: Makes me think, helps me improve as a person. :D
It's okay - I like helping people.
Sometimes I just ignore what other people say. I'm okay if they critize me as a person, if it's reasonable. I don't take stuff about me being weird and nerdy/geeky, but if I'm hurting someone's feelings I'll take that.
CATHERINE MACPHAIL IS A BILLIANT AUTHOR.
Wbd, writing.
You're such a strong person, Ieni. I'm so bothered about what people think. :/ I hate that about myself.
Everyone is a strong person, but not necessarily in the same way. It's rather fascinating to see how so few people realise their true strength, because strength is always there whether it is realised or not.
Strength is within everyone...When you believe you have it you're all the more strong. :3
That's what I believe, anyway.
I never used to be like this - it's after I got over my short time of depression. But everyday I tell myself that it's okay that I'm like this. I tell myself I'm a better person like this - I'll defintely get on with my family better.
Sorry about the depressing stuff.
Oh I think I read one of her books - Roxy's baby? It was so sad :(
ORANGE AEROOOOOOOOOOO <3
I just read Underworld. 'TWAS SCARY.
I'm amazed by how attached I got to the characters in only 284 pages.
Well said, Luscathio. :)
I'm really sorry. I read through a couple of comments, but the last thing the last person wrote is the only thing that sticks in my mind while I write my comment . . . :/
