(I'm not exactly sure WHERE this image came from. Andrew, from my agent's office, sent this to me this morning. Haven't a clue where he found it, but it is AWESOME.)
Hullo there.
It's my 38th birthday.
First of all, thank you for all the birthday wishes I've been reading online. You care, you really care... sniffle... It almost made up for the fact that I will have no birthday cake today, and I have no one to sing me happy birthday. But that's fine. That's okay. I was woken up this morning by a birthday text, which would have started my day off with a smile were it not for the fact that the text was from O2, my phone provider...
Even so, thank you, O2. It's nice to know you care.
Before you feel TOO sorry for me, I celebrated my birthday last Saturday, when we combined it with a Halloween party because three of my nieces will be down the country on Halloween night. So, y'know... my birthday was hijacked by three princesses and a pirate. But that's fine.
So, what did I GET for my birthday? I shall tell you. I got a remote controlled toy car! From my brother and sisters! They got me a remote controlled toy car! Yes! They did! For no reason! For no reason I can possibly comprehend, they got me a remote controlled toy car! Thank you, brother and sisters! Just what I've always wanted but could never put into words! Joy of joys!
So, after picking myself up from the floor, it was my mother's turn to give me the present from my folks. It was a shirt! A shirt! A blue shirt! But not just any kind of blue shirt! A blue denim shirt! DENIM! The most awesome material you could possibly make a shirt FROM! A blue denim shirt!
Truly, I am blessed. It's not like when their birthdays come around I buy them computers or TVs or designer handbags. Nope. That's not what happens at all.
So you wait, my family! You just wait till your birthdays roll around again! You cannot BEGIN to guess what WONDER of a present I shall be buying you!
Joy of joys!

«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 4756 Newer› Newest»Sil2: *raises an eyebrow*
Oh really? So what happens if I touch them?
*smirks, inching closer to one*
(*looks around* wow... I like what you've done with the place,
*picks up a top hat and puts it on*
Pretty fly for a white guy *nods and smiles smugly*
Now... Get out of my chair! *points to the swivel chair*
So... I've got a lot of Blogland-related projects I've been mostly neglecting lately, and now that I have time, I don't know what to work on.
Should I add to the name project, the new challenge (I did post there fairly recently but I have way more work to do), the Blogland awards, Fabi's story, MageBay, or something else that I've started and completely forgotten about? D:
(*raises an eyebrow*
Scuzi? This would my chair I think you'll fine.
*produces a frying pan*)
(@Fabi um..
Whichever you have neglected of the longest, do that one.)
Zafira: You fall screaming.
(I am back.)
Elizabeth: You do know she is capable of launching attacks against all of her enemies simultaneously?
(I agree with Jai, Fabi *nods* do the one you've neglected longest)
(*looks at frying pan*
That Is my chair! And I'm not scared of your frying pan *smirks* )
Sil2: *grins*
I reckon I can handle it.
*darts at the sigil, blade in hand, slashing down its middle to ruin it*
*smiles and cuddles Beth*
I didn't realise we were on her enemies list
(Are you not Rhos? Remember what happened LAST TIME.)
(nope I'm not scared! And i do remember what happened last time... *glares* )
(*grins* that was your fault.)
(how was it my fault? )
Zafira: *lunges at Silente* What do you want with me? To turn me to what you are?!
Bethany: *cuddles her back* We're hardly going to be her friends... *looks at Elizabeth* Thanks for your help...
Elizabeth: Any time. *vanishes in a flash of blue*
(You provoked me.)
Sil2: *laughs and flips back, avoiding Zaf*
You wish you could be this awesome! No. I'm trying to teach you!
*cartwheels knife raking through another sigil, destroying it*
Well obviously we aren't her friends..but enemies? I'm flattered.
(did i now.... *rolls eyes*
*walks over to you*
*grabs you by the shoulders and throws you out of the chair*
*sits down in the chair* Ah Ha!
(@Jai I want to share what I consider to be Tanya's theme.)
(*smashes the frying pan into the back of your head* per-lease.)
(@Kas go ahead!)
I don't even remember which I've neglected the longest...
(*runs the back of my head and stumbles around a bit...*
Owwww.... *drops to the floor* )
(Hello, Fabi, Zaffy, Jai, Rhos and Soph!)
(*yanks you from the chair and sits, feet rested on your head*
You could always check Fabi?)
Bethany: ... It isn't a good thing.
(Hello Kas )
I know.
*kisses her gently*
Just trying to bring some light to the gloominess.
(AH FOR ****SAKE! TWO PAGES?!?!)
(*removes your feet and stands up* Do you mind! *glares angrily at Jai*)
And that's Karma! *laughs* )
(Not at all Rhos, tis my pleasure.)
(we're playing like that are we?! *pulls out my own frying pan and swings for your face* )
(*blocks with my frying pan*
*raises an eyebrow*)
Zafira: Tesch me what?
(You know what... Lets cheat, I don't play fair *drops the frying pan and pulls out a gun* Stick em up!
"Crazy"
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly [radio version]
probably [album version]
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
(You can see a theme here, I think.)
Bethany: *kisses her back* I'm not gloomy...
Sil2: *smiles*
Many things! Not to be cocky or unprepared. Not to trust sigils to keep the wolf away. Oh and perhaps most important
*grins*
Don't let me near the doors.
*darts into the sanctuary, setting of random explosions, cutting down people like trees*
(@Jai Ded to Rhos and the... *coughs*
@Rhos If you think she'll sigh, cover old one eye.)
No, you aren't. But the situation is.
Bethany: ... We could always go back to bed?
(*raises an eyebrow at Rhos*
*smashes the frying pan into his wrist so he'll drop the gun*
Yes I see a pattern Kas. It suits her :)
(Me and the what?
And oh right okay... That's a bit iffy.... *nods* and why do you keep telling me about you know? )
*smiles*
Maybe..
*frowns*
Wait..we should check Lil isn't under attack..
(*drops the gun* damn.... *angrily glares again*
And you need to ded! )
(I'll ded when you're dead!
Oh..that's a good line.)
*dies*
(Well that's just damn right rude.... *continues glaring* )
(Indeed it is.)
Bethany: *turns to Liliana's castle* We should... Portal?
(*picks up the gun and uses her biotics to rip it apart, until it is glowing dust around her*)
(*turns my glare to soph* )
Portal.
*opens portal to Lil's castle, the tower*
(*smiles* thank you Sophia.)
Bethany: *steps through the portal, getting her bearings for a moment* *starts heading down to the throne room*
(What's the matter, Garrett? Want me to do the same to you?)
*follows behind Beth*
Well, at least we cant HEAR any fighting..
(Play nice Soph.)
(There's no need to resort to threats, Sophia.)
(I have two answers for you Soph,
1: Bite me!
2: Nah, I like living too much....
I'm going with answer 2 *nods* )
Bethany: Yes, that's true...
*when they reach the throne room, Liliana is sat cross legged on her throne, surrounded by dust*
Liliana: *tilts her head at them when she hears them approach* Bethany?
(That is a wise choice, Garrett.)
Exactly! *nods again* )
Hey. Looks like you haven't cleaned up in an age. What's with the dust? You get attacked too?
*is sitting by a lake, contemplating the existence of life in other dimensions*
*decides that she will not be taking risks*
*continues contemplating while cleaning her revolver*
Liliana: The dust? The remains of some creatures which tried to suck out my soul. I tried telling them I had no soul to suck out but they were hardly clever and refused to listen. Or perhaps they were smarter than I thought, given the fact I was lying. Everyone has a soul. I am just a little lacking in morals.
*rolls eyes*
Of course. Poor them. And what a shame it would've been had they succeeded.
*smiles to show She's joking*
Well if you're fine..
Liliana: And why did you presume I was fine?
*turns to Bethany* I thought you were killed?
Bethany: Silente managed to convince the god of time to speed up the process. *smiles* It's good to be alive.
*smiles and takes Beth's hand*
We should be off..
Bethany: *squeezes Silente's hand*
Liliana: So soon? Why have you not enquired to my health? How can you be sure I haven't sustained injuries?
*sighs*
How are you Liliana? You look ravishing, as always, and your winning personality seems unscathed.
Liliana: I am fine, if you exclude the large cut down the side of my body which causes me excruciating pain whenever I move. From your angle, of course I look ravishing. *stands up from her throne, gritting her teeth, turning to show her a large slice in her dress and the skin beneath* I suppose these things happen sometimes when fighting creatures trying to suck out your soul.
*winces*
Ouch..can't you heal yourself?
*let's go of Beth's hand and moves closer, studying the cut*
I can fix it if you can't. It'll scar though..
Liliana: I am the daughter of the goddess of death. I am hardly going to be capable of healing myself. And I ran out of the healing liquid I used on you.
Bethany: I could heal it without a scar...
Zafira: *shadow-walks and Silente is attacked by Cleavers*
*Continues to watch happily and with mild interest from the safety of ghosting-land*
*nods at Beth*
Go ahead.
Sil2: *grins, weaving through the cleaved, stronger and faster, more agile, swords ringing out against scythes*
*laughs and smashes a foot into ones helmet, snapping his neck*
Hmm. That's enough havoc me's thinks.
*ducks and jumps, spinning to avoid being sliced in three*
Zaf usually has me by now. She's getting slack.
*Oh by the way I've been here for hours*
(Hey Ghost Man.)
(Want some help with the scythey-dudes? I could use a thing to do.)
Zafira: *sighs* I can't stand vampires!!!!
(@Blake aww. Shadow boy bored?)
Sil2: *laughs*
Call 'em off Zaf or they'll die!
*slices in neatly into quarters then takes another's head*
Zafira: *calls them off, backing away* Why? Is this for plotting with Ravel? Is it?!
(Hello, Blake.)
(50,000 years ago: After much painstaking work, the Prothean team from Illos manages to salvage enough parts from the Citadel to finish a makeshift starship and an arsenal of nuclear warheads. Boarding the ship, they activated the Citadel and traveled into Dark Space, using the warheads to destroy all of the Reapers while they hibernated, at the cost of their own lives. The only Reaper not present in Dark Space, Sovereign, feels the neural shocks created by the destruction of its entire kind all at once. The strain was so great that the machine's mind was destroyed, leaving it a lifeless, but still functional, husk.
War...war never changes.
*is bored and reading fanfiction*)
(Yes. Yes I am.)
Sil2: hardly. I couldn't care less what the sanctuary's do. I was just interested in whether or not you'd learnt from last time. Seems not. I swear, you've gotten slack. Weaker.
*shakes her head sadly, sighing*
It's a pity.
(*punches Blake in the gut*)
(*Doubles over and coughs a few times*
Ow... what was that for?)
*drops in behind Sil, and walks to her side*
You always knew how to get in trouble, Sil...
(You were bored. *shrugs* now you aren't.)
Sil2: knew? Since when was I six feet under?
(OMG EL!!!!!!
*TACKLEHUGSANDNEVERLETSGOANDISPROBABLYCAUSINGSUFFOCATIONBUTELLLLLLLLLL*)
(Hey, El! c:)
(No now I'm bored and have a dent in my gut. Just for that...)
*Appears from a shadow next to Zafira*
Well this just looks unfair, I'll help.
(Hi Ellie.)
(Bye Ellie.)
Zafira: Thank you....please help me....*Zafira looks shaken, shadows curling around her*
(NUH!
*REVIVES*)
Sil2: *rolls eyes*
Hey Blake.
*smiles at Zaf*
You should get better security.
*Raises his arm towards Sil and Rotia and shadows begin to snake around him, inching towards them*
Now then... it would be a shame if I had to hurt anyone, wouldn't it?
Sil2: some would say it would be Blake. But then again, you aren't some. And some isn't in your head, either.
Zafira: I do, apparently not anti-vampire. I do have some Asgardian friends willing to help.
(*gently hugs El*)
Sil2: *to Zaf*
No doubt Loki would love to help with the me problem
(This is not Rotia, it is Tanya :S
And she's getting crazier...)
Shame is subjective. Really, you would probably be ashamed if we made you back off. Or maybe feel ashamed that we puny mortals provoked you to attack just by talking to you, which says a great deal about your lack of discipline and self-control.
Just saying...
*uses her gun hand to move some hair away from Sil's eyes*
That's better. °W°
(El! *waves frantically*)
True enough.
*He smirks and urges the darkness forward. Tendrils rush at Sil and Rotia, zigzagging unpredictably towards their targets*
Zafira: Do you want to die?!
She does.
*rolls eyes*
Always a pleasure Tanya. Like the decorations? Red suits the place.
*waits until the shadows are about to hit her then jumps, dodging, outrunning them*
Hey Loki!
Vampire. I do not like wheb people torment what is mine.
*Slight gestures keep the shadows hot on Sil's trail as he circles around to cut her off*
She's mine, Loki.
Let's make this place redder... I love it when blood gets in my eyes!
*charges at the shadows, side-stepping them at the last second, making them go past her*
*grins, bouncing around like a lunatic to avoid the shadows*
Aww look at this! Two men fighting over one girl. I feel loved.
*With a sudden burst of speed, he rushes Silente and makes a grab for her head as the tendrils still chase her from behind*
You won't be feeling much of anything very soon...
(How are you, El?)
*stops and looks at Sil protectively*
Excuse me?
Sil2: *ducks under Blake's attempt, spinning to avoid his body, sending his shadows towards himself*
Oh, sorry. Two men and a girl.
That's what I thought, sweetie! :3
*sticks the dagger Sil gifted her into Blake*
*The shadows make a 90 degree turn and dart towards Rotia as Blake spins and points two fingers upward at Sil. The shadows left behind from Blake's steps react and explode upward at her*
(Y'see now Tia that's exactly the kind of move we all agreed not to do a few days ago xD)
Sil2: *laughs then grunts, hardly managing to dodge the shadows*
*fires the sceptre at Silente, relenteslessy* Zafira is mine.
Sil2: *gets hit by the sceptre and blasted into a wall*
*groans slightly and grins, spinning to avoid more hits*
Starting to regret this!
(*huggles El* how was thingymadoodar?)
I wonder why.
*Throws an expanding net of shadows at Sil*
(El? Are you sure? You sound... off.)
*sidesteps the shadows again*
It didn't work last time so you try it again despite you having done nothing to ensure it'll work this time? You're a tactical genius, you.
*punches him*
*fires again, then uses the Casket to send ice at Silente, if it should hit it would turn her into ice*
Sil2:*spins to avoid the ice, not noticing the net until it's too late*
*curses and laughs*
Okay! Game over!
Good golden goose, DEREK! Just post something already!
(One comment only. Hello and good bye. *nods*)
*He catches Rotia's fist, all but crushing it in his grip*
Fortunately, against opponents like you I do not need to be.
*Shadows race down his arm aiming to pierce that of his enemy*
I knew it would be game over soon.
Zafira: *backs away from Loki*
*grabs Zafira*
Sil2: *glares at Zaf*
*Glances over to Loki and Zafira*
What are you doing?
Sil2: *wriggles in the shadow net*
Blake, let me out.
(..
*pokes El*
How was retreat?
Or resort.
Or whatever it was actually called..)
(Hi/bye Hope!
I am off now. Good bye!)
*loses her arm and hand, leaving behind circuitry, sparks and twisted metal*
Oh. Looks like you got me.
Seems I did, Vader.
*The throws the arm aside and dissipates the net around Silente*
Loki. What are you doing.
Sil2: *stands and brushes herself off*
Well. That was undignified.
Well. You were the one who decided it'd be a good idea to resist. When is that ever a good idea with me?
Sil2: *shrugs* I hardly resisted. Any who, I'll be off. Havoc to cause.
*A ring of shadows rises around them*
Nu uh, no more crating mass chaos.
Sil2: but mass chaos is so much fun! And I've haven't caused any in weeks!
And should you like to keep yourself out of more of those nice little nets you're not going to make any more. Ever.
Sil2: *bursts out laughing*
Sure. That'll happen.
*shakes her head*
Ah you do amuse me Blake old boy.
I really don't get how you can still be so cocky...
*He clenches his fist, causing the ring to contract. It passes around him harmlessly and rushes to bind Silente*
Sil2: *rolls her eyes and taps the sigil for her energy shield, smiling at it burns away at the shadows*
I learnt from the best.
Oh and thank Erebus for me, his...gift is highly irritating and constantly gives me a headache.
He says you are very welcome, mortal number two. Or maybe one. He can't really seem to remember. And as for learning...
*Her shadow rises and places a sharpened arm to her back*
You've got a long way to go.
Sil2: *smiles*
Oldest trick in the book and I managed to forget it.
*glances over her shoulder*
Hello shadow me.
*looks at Blake and brings down her shield*
So, no more chaos and such?
Sil2: Oh I never said that. But, I suppose for the time being I can just help out a few soldiers instead of teaching Zaf to improve her terrible security.
I get the feeling we have different definitions of "help".
*He takes a few steps to stand directly in front of her*
Come on, the twins haven't seen you in ages.
*Places a hand on her shoulder and they sink into their shadows*
Sil2: *smiles, hiding her discomfort at that method of travel*
*They rise from the floor in the hall outside the twins room. Blake opens then door and steps inside, immediately greeted by shrieks of joy from the toddlers*
Hello non existent people.
*walks towards Zafira* I told you what to do, Kerias.
Zafira: *shakes head, and lashes out at Loki, grabbing him with a shadow and teleporting them to Blogland*
I'm impressed. *sends several daggers at her, faster then he usually would*
Zafira: *dodges a few but is hit by some too* *shadows form around her and she sends them directly at Loki*
*vanishes, appearing behind Zafira, firing the sceptre at her*
Zafira: *is knocked to the floor by his sceptre's blast* *she focuses on the countless times Niccolò healed her or others, and she heals herself*
You can heal....*grabs Zafira by the wrist and throws her into a tree*
Zafira: *shadows cushion her head, and she kicks at Loki a few times*
*drops her then grabs at her again* You cannot kill me, mortal.
Zafira: I'm on the level of a god. You've messed with my head, and Niccolò Croatoan apparently isn't a good enough example: You need to leave true names alone. What is Alastair? You've seen my memories of him. You never learn, do you?
What are you saying? You know your true name.
Justaria: Yes, but you see Zafira and I are one, but you messed her head up enough that I can come out. My name is Justaria, and I'm going to kill you.
I apologize Zafira. We have just come back from skiing and I had to unpack. I'm here now.
Beautiful writing.
Hello.
Hello Raven, pleasure to meet you.
Hello Audra. We haven't met before, I know this, so like hello. But not normal hello, I mean like, confetti and sprinkles-it's-truly-fabulous-to-meet-you-hello.
Oh why thank you. Come dance in the confetti and sprinkles with me.
They wouldn't happen to be rainbow sprinkles would they?
I don't know what sort of sprinkles they are, I didn't read the label.
*takes Audra's hand and spins around in th confetti and sprinkles*
I don't think it really matter, sprinkles are sprinkles.
*grins and spins with her*
Sprinkles are sprinkles.
So how are you?
I'm good, an odd good, but good.
*smiles*
How are you?
*smiles*
I am also an odd good.
*continues to spin in the sprinkles and confetti, catching a sprinkle in her mouth*
So I hear you're a part time crazy person, how's that going for you?
We are couple off odd bots dancing in confetti.
That's made my day.
I am a part time crazy person, yeah, it's a different kind of job. Has it perks, gets me a couple of odd looks from the kids at school. But it's pretty good. It's a job you do for love, not money. Because I'm telling you now you get paid sweet potatoes.
What about you? What are you doing?
Yes we are.
It is quite nice, I am not typically one for dancing in confetti but I do admit, it's quite fun.
Sweet potatoes. Do you ever get the option of normal potatoes?
Me? I'm not sure. Not a lot. Enjoying being a kid I guess.
No, we don't get the option of anything normal in my line of work.
Being a kid is fun.
*nods*
Lots of fun.
Ah, ok.
It is isn't it.
Soon I shall be so kiddy and not have to worry about anything and I can't wait. Though I'm not sure I'll have Wi-Fi or time to be on here.
I apologize Raven, I have to go. Pleasure taking you.
Haha, yes.
Hakuna Matata.
Goodbye Audra.
*steals some of the sprinkles and runs off, snickering like a cheese black-and-white movie bad guy*
(Cheesy*)
Could've just asked for sprinkles.
Hello?
*sighs*
*poofs*
(*stumbles in, bedhead* hey.)
You haven't fully assimilated yourself with your name if it can still "come out".
(*blinks* huh? En anglais?)
(Hey Lav.)
Ooh, people. Hi!
*hugs Sil, waves to Alastair*
How are you guys?
(*hugs Lavender back*
Potentially ill. You?)
I'm alright. Tired, so will be going to bed soon.
How ill?
(Icky stomach. Just general feeling of illness.)
Aww. :(
*huggles Sil*
You should drink some warm water. It helps, just don't drink it too fast.
(Warm water?)
*nods*
If it's cold, it settles badly in your stomach. Speaking from experience. If you're stomach hurts, sips of warm water really helps it feel better.
(Really?
...I'll try that when I actually get a drink..)
I hope you feel better soon.
*hugs Sil again*
And now I gotta sleep. Good night. :)
Good night, Hope!
*ruffles bedhead*
(Hmph.
*organizes hair*
Hello Kas. Farewell Lavender.)
How did the fight with Blake go?
(It wasn't so bad.)
Did you give as good as you got?
(Okay, so basically, this morning I was in Harvester with my dad and brother and this waitress came up for our orders. A couple of minutes later I noticed her name tag which read "Tanith" and I was like, fangirling now, hyperventilating now, exploding now, dying now and omg I almost cried because I just thought, "Ghastly" and... *cries*)
(Aww Velv! *hugs*
@Kas per-lease. I gave better.
(Aww, that's cool, Velv!
And hi Velv and Jai! c:)
*hugs Sil happily*
Aww, you're strong, you! :3
(*hugs Sil and Tia* Hi guys!)
Velv...
(Yes...)
(I have to go, sorry.
Email.)
*ruffles Velv's hair, sighs happily, and leaves*
(Okay... You sent me an email with no content...*scowls and brushes hair again*)
