(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!

*sigh*
you are sweet you never ever hurt anyone you have a nasty habbit of smashing my crockery but you never do anything bad and everyone could take a leaf out of your book, you are boost to civilisation! You deserve to live I might not but you do please! Get out of here!
I'm good, how about you two. Sorry for being so distant.
That'a not a good enough answer to my question, Kaden. Why don't you care about them? How do you know that they don't smash crockery?
*frowns*
And you can't just say that I never do anything wrong. Everyday that I live, doing what I'm doing, I hurt four people. Just because I'm not there punching them, doesn't mean I'm not hurting them. And you're not allowed to say that I don't do stuff wrong when you don't even know me.
Just as I'm not allowed to say that you're all bad, because no one is all bad or all good. Everyone is grey.
(I'm also good, thank you for asking. Don't be sorry, everyone gets a little distant sometimes.)
Alright that's it
*gets picked up by the dragon*
Your coming with me no choice now!
*dragon picks up raven and throws raven next to Kaden on back*
Stop at gingers
{said to dragon}
*is thrown by the dragon*
Kaden!
*shouts at him*
YOU DON'T RESPECT MY FREE WILL! YOU NEVER GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO DO WHAT I WANT!
*frowns*
Except for that time you didn't make me go to the bar, and the time you let me go to the bank, and the time you didn't go hunting and the time you let me help the elves up the hill.
*shouts*
BUT EVERY TIME OTHER THAN THAT YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO PROTECT ME. I CAN PROTECT MYSELF, I HAVE ANNA TO PROTECT ME...and possible hurt you, which I wouldn't want...AND OTHER THAN THAT FOR SOME TIME NOW I HAVE PROTECTED MYSELF.
*pauses*
So can you just stop?
*Looks up at the dragon*
Well there's something you don't see every day...
(Since this rp, I now want a lot of things which I can have. I want pet elves and a dragon and I want a castle made of gingerbread. But that's a little bit irrelevant.)
Where stoping at gingers and that is that!
*staris in silence)
(Sorry Kaden, I have to go for a while, I'll be back later.
Goodbye Solus.)
(Cya raven)
(Goodbye. I would offer to roleplay with you, Kaden, but I'm rather distant at the moment.)
Happy Blogversary to me...
*sits*
*stays*
Happy Blogversary, Fay!
I'm sorry I couldn't remember it, but then I don't know you that well...
(*is falling asleep*
How are you, Fay?)
Wow, I'm just drifting...
Good night, you guys :)
*hugs Fay*
Happy blogversary. Sorry, I'm not here at the moment. One comment.
(Oh dear, the voices in my head are making me write this.
Good night, Hope!)
why do I keep disappearing. It's a problem. -_-
Thanks, guys :) *hugs back*
And bye, I have to go.
*poofs*
Happy Blogversary, Fay.
We go to West Point today, our military academy, and to go on campus first we had to all show ID so those over 18 took their drivers license out, now I'm 16 and not an adult the guy asks me for ID even though I'm not 18, so I have to use my learners permit to prove I am who I am. Then Mom is asked to step out and open the trunk of the car, she does, now the hood. She doesn't know how. This poor guy walked her through opening the hood.
Now the freakin academy is a base too, bloody hell. Its a city on it's own!
-Zaf
Really should be asleep by now, but I just wanted to say, I'm following your story thingy, Run, and it's quite interesting.
I'm sorry, was I not supposed to read that?
On second thought, perhaps I'd better not start at the very beginning. Lizzy can't make herself think about it, and it would be unfair of me to use my supreme power as both author and narrator to make her.
Lizzy walks away from Owen, closing her mind's eye against the tempest of...memories. It hurts even more that there wasn't a tempest. Just a blink of an eye. A straw that was enough to break a bridge.
After what seems like an eternity, she opens the door to her house. It's silent and empty. Everything's packed into boxes, far too clean. It's too big a house for a little girl all alone, they all agree. Lizzy doesn't. She thinks that it's hypocritical of them to expect her to be an adult one moment, a child the next. She doesn't have the energy to argue, though.
She grabs the box she's looking for and takes it down the street to another house. She doesn't have a key to this one, but she knows the password for the automatic garage-door opener, and she sets down the box so she can type it in.
"Hello, Lizzy. How was your day?"
Lizzy shrugs. She doesn't want to sound ungrateful by telling the blunt truth to the person who's given her a place to stay and not be alone. At the same time, though, she's tired of lies.
"Is there any news on Mom?" Lizzy mumbles the words as a sort of formality. There's no news. If there had been any news, Mrs. Redgrave would have called her, even during work hours.
"Her...condition hasn't changed, but the doctors are hopeful. They have a new solution."
The doctors are always hopeful.
They always have new solutions.
So far...
None.
Of.
Them.
Have.
Done.
A.
Thing.
No, it's okay.
I just needed to make a few minor amendments.
Oh.
Um, okay then.
[disappears]
Sleep well, Fabienne.
I shall return to my writing. If anyone should show up later, I may or may not be here, though the latter is more probable.
Yes, it IS intereating. :( *reading* *not really here, though*
*:)
-_-
Sorry.
(Hello.
Apologies, Silente.)
(*cuddles, nudging Sophs shoulder with her face and sitting on her knee* hello.)
(*cuddles her back before hugging Silente tightly* Hello.)
(*smiles and returns the hug just as tightly*
Don't apologize for needing sleep.)
(It was hardly a convenient time.)
(Life is full of inconvenient times. No apologizing for sleep. Understood?)
(Alright. *hugs her tighter*)
(OMG I won a dispute between us! *hugs very tightly* Yessssssssssssssss!)
(I need to breathe, Silente.)
(Huh? Oh. *loosens the hug* Oops.)
(Much better. *nods*)
(Sorry. *smiles* Anyway, rp? I believe you were the last to contribute?)
(Yes, I was the last to contribute.)
(Okay.)
Just you.
*kisses her gently*
My perfect angel.
Bethany: *kisses her back* ... I am not perfect.
... Won't you tell me because it's bad?
You are perfect and its nothing bad. I promise.
*smiles*
You just cut off the kiss when it was getting hottest is all.
Bethany: Hottest? I didn't realise much heat was transferred...
*laughs and shakes her head*
Figuratively hot.
Liliana: *shakes her head* She means passionate, Bethany.
Bethany: Oh. Okay... I just get nervous.
I know. It's fine. I don't mind.
*tucks a stray strand of Beth's hair behind her ear*
Bethany: I'm sorry.
Dont be. I've said before, its fine. I love you, Beth. All of you.
Bethany: I just don't want to disappoint you.
You could never disappoint me Beth. Ever. No matter what you say or do, I will never be disappointed in you.
Bethany: ... Thank you.
There's no need to thank me.
*smiles*
Bethany: Of course there is. *smiles*
There isn't. Really.
Bethany: There is. *kisses her*
(It's my fault he left...)
(*hugs Gem tightly*
It is not your fault Gemma.)
*kisses her back, smiling*
(*huggles Gemma*)
(Hi Inky.)
(Hi
I'm just lurking
Putting my input when needed)
Bethany: I love you.
(Okay..)
Love you too Beth.
(Does anyone know a good surgeon / have any recommended methods of amputation, please can you share them with me? *nods* )
(Amputation of WHAT?)
(my right hand thumb....
And Hi Jai *hugs* how be you? )
Bethany: You are an amazing girlfriend.
(Why do you want to amputate your thumb?
*hugs back*
I'm good.)
And you're even better.
(good, and i want to amputate it because,
I sliced it on a razor... And now I have two razor slices in it (totally not intentional ) and now it hurts and its annoying me because its hurting to type as well, so that's why *nods* )
(Hello...
Gemma, he chose to leave. It was his choice. You don't control him, it is not your fault.)
Bethany: I'm not...
Liliana: *rolls her eyes*
(It's my fault because he doesn't want to talk to me which is why he left, because he didn't want to talk to me anymore...)
(Gem that is not your fault!)
(@Rhos sorry not a good enough reason.)
Yes you are.
*smiles up at her, not noticing the eye roll*
Shhh..don't argue, please?
(*hugs Gem* )
(Gemma it's not your fault. He chose to leave. He could've stayed..)
(Jai, why not? )
Bethany: ... Okay.
Liliana: You two are ridiculous.
(@Rhos because eventually that'll heal. An amputated thumb would not.)
*looks at Lil*
Ridiculous? How are we?
(Good point *nods*
And Gem, as the others have said, its not your fault, he chose to leave, you didn't force him to
It was entirely his own choice *nods* )
Liliana: Are either of you actually able to simply accept compliments?
Of course we are. Bethany your blood is delicious.
Bethany: I... Thank you?
Liliana: I meant actual compliments like the ones you gave previously.
That was an actual compliment. Her blood does taste delicious.
Liliana: Without complimenting her blood. About each other as a person.
Bethany you're beautiful.
Bethany: I'm not...
Liliana: Point proven.
*rolls eyes*
No point proven at all.
*kisses her neck gently*
(Whose neck?)
(Beth's)
Bethany: *smiles and cuddles her*
Liliana: Of course my point has been proven.
*cuddles her back*
No it hasn't. So she might not accept that compliment. Doesn't mean it applies to all compliments.
Liliana: I do not know about you two, but I am going to get dressed. If we are attacked again I do not want to be caught without clothing.
*blushes slightly*
That might be a good idea..
Liliana: *puts on her underwear and her dress, then sits on the bed* A lazy day may not be such a good idea.
Bethany: ... Oh.
*kisses Beth gently*
It's fine. We can still laze about...just with clothes on?
Bethany: *kisses her back* Alright. *smiles and climbs out of bed, starting to dress herself*
*rolls out of bed and puts her sheathes and knives on first*
Happy New Year from Australia :)
(Happy New year ozzies!)
Hey Silente, Snowmaybe. How are ye?
(Hello Trip.)
(Happy new year, Snuuuu!
So I'm guessing none of us have done one of those "Internet safety" courses?)
(Hey Kas and no, not that I know of.)
(I think that sounds like one of the dullest things I've ever heard of. Ever. No, good old paranoia is all I need to stay safe. Everyone is a spy, what's really important is if they're an enemy spy or not.)
(How is New Year's Eve Silente?)
Bethany: *finishes by putting on her armour*
(New Years Eve Silente is happy.
Oh and I'm okay too. You?)
(Me neither... just wondering.)
Oh, hello Sophia. Sorry, I didn't notice you there.
*pulls her clothes on and smiles*
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM AUSTRALIA.
Now I have to sleep, because I believe in keeping your New Year's resolution for at least the first day.
(I am somewhat distant, Trip, so it is understandable.)
Bethany: *hugs her tightly*
(I have an annoying aching knee, but otherwise I'm having a pretty nice time. Good music's on the radio, there's little work left to be done, and other people are doing it.)
(Why'd you ask Tanya?)
Ah! *hides behind a rock*
*whispers to Silente* Have I met that person? I can't remember! What if I drop a massive faux pas?
*hugs her tightly back, smiling*
Love you Bethany.
*looks briefly at trip*
*rolls eyes*
*hugs everyone* How're you lot?
*shakes her vigorously by the lapels* Heeeelp meee!
Oh. Hey Snow! *hugs* I haven't seen you in...
...
... A long time!
(Just wondering why so many of us are talking to strangers online without having gone through Internet safety.
But then again I'm here and I haven't done it :S)
*Tanya and Anita (who's picture I'll upload soon) are lying down in front of a wire fence, looking at the warehouse beyond, and at the security devices surrounding it*
Tanya: Relax! It'll be easy!
(*cuddles snow* Snowy. *hands her some oreos and winks*)
*throttles sil with the oreos*
*pokes trip* that, my friend, is because I joined a secret agency and now lead an exiting, adventure filled life. I'm only here now because my newest mission is to kill you.
(Snuuuu...)
(*wonders how you throttle someone with Oreos*
*should probably try not to be throttled*
*camera flashes go crazy as press capture 'Bassist murderer!' for the front page*)
(Well, largely my judgement was clouded by grief, and subsequently I'd made friends that I'd made sure weren't axe murderers (Well, mostly) and was just sensible about it all. As such I've learned all sorts more about how other people think, other cultures and also had a good laugh. It's also allowed me to really help people, or at least try. Overall, I think we do this because the world that we'e created in Blogland is just better and more interesting than the real one, and it's a good place to go when things get a little boring. To to mention the only real danger is from being an idiot. And before I go into a full blown rant, I'll stop there, because that's way too many subjects for one paragraph, and frankly I would be rolling in my grave if this had been anything more than an off the cuff statement.)
Huzzah! Finally a nemesis. Do you know how many forms I've had to fill out for this? It's ridiculous.
*smiles at the cameras*
*only throttles Sil so she's severely injured, not dead*
*bops trip* sorry. Turns out they don't want you dead, they want to give you a deed. Easy mistake to make.
*huggles the Halcyon*
I don't know if I'd agree that Blogland is interesting, although I suppose interest is relative.
A deed to what?
A cemetery. In the middle of Scotland.
(*coughs and pushes snow away, rubbing her throat*
*smiles for the cameras*)
Oh really? Then why are you here, old bean?
Is it because a certain person here is interesting?
Hmmn?
*throws the oreos of a twelve story building*
Yay! My own murder victim disposal unit!
(Boredom, the enemy of the mind. It waits and then strikes taking over.
Hello and bye)
No, it's because an interesting person was not elsewhere. I prefer many things, even dull ones, to nothing to do at all.
(*raspy voice* did-n't ya like you *cough* your present Snowy?)
(Herrow puny mortal. And I suppose goodbye.)
Dude, I'm not old. I'm only 86. Come on, that's still really young.
And I honestly don't believe anyone here right now is the slightest bit interesting, I just need to pass the time.
*grins*
Suuure. It's not because you love me really. We all believe you.
Well I believe you Snow. You're just a heartless monster. But cuddly old Alistew could never be as heartless as you, you monster!
(It seems I disappeared briefly.)
Bethany: I love you, too.
(Hi/bye Ed!)
*is about to break into a warehouse and so cannot be attacking anyone such as Trip*
((I'm on my phone and going to town and cold and ice everywhere and hair getting in my eyes so I'm distant but not quite.))
(hey again Soph.)
Can I..
*blushes a bit*
Drink?
Wb Sophia.
*feels really attacked right now.*
(@Sil a bit early for that, no?)
Trip, you are one truly odd person. I admire that, You weird old fart.
Sil... I dont know how to tell you this, but I absolutely hated the present.
(@Kas not alcohol!)
(There are these wonderful things called drinking problems...)
(*smiles* thought you l-love Oreos.)
Thank you Snow, I'm touched, really. In fact, I might just burst into song!
What if I told you:
Blogland Weeping Angels?
*walks in*
*has four New Years resolutions*
*remembers the ball pit Sparky came up with a long time ago*
*was just a few years ago really*
*falls back into the ball pit*
*sinks to the bottom*
*doesn't resurface*
*would say hello, but no one will really be able to hear*
*Breaks into a jolly showtune*
The state of the nation - violation!
A broken promise is as good as a lie.
The hell is humongous, the devil's among us
and we will burn because we won't unite!
What are we conceding for our freedom?
Why does anybody think we need 'em
I would rather fight,
than let another die.
We're the problem,
but we're also the solution.
ALL HOPE IS GONE!!!
If you want it come and take it from me.
If you think you can, you still don't know me.
Let me tell you, man, when I said it, I meant it
and I will always have the right to defend it.
Fifty seconds, a hundred murders.
The bill of rights is a bill of sale.
What will you do when the war is over?
What will you do when your system fails!?
We have made the present obsolete.
What do you want?
What do you need?
We'll find a way,
When all hope is gone!
We've seen the fall of the elite,
Bury your life, take your disease
We'll end the world,
When all hope is gone!
The wretched are the wounded,
The hungry starve to death,
In a place where no one goes,
The air itself is a final breath,
So discontinue, the anti-septic, care charade,
As a cry of justice comes,
A malignant fire fades.
I am the reason your future suffers,
I am the hatred you won't embrace
I am the worm of a pure gestation,
I am the remedy, spit in my face.
All your laws and rules are outdated,
All your subjects are killing the kings,
I can rattle off a million other reasons why,
But does it matter when the only thing we love will die?
We have made the present obsolete.
What do you want?
What do you need?
We'll find a way,
When all hope is gone!
We've seen the fall of the elite,
Bury your life, take your disease
We'll end the world,
When all hope is gone!
WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE!!!
WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE!!!
WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE!!!
Please don't. I'm sure you'd only hurt yourself
Silente Tempest I will hurt you very severely.
(BALL PIT
*jumps in and wriggles until she's at the bottom*
*cuddles Lav*)
(I am here ^.^)
(@Snow *laughs painfully* already did.)
(*raspy voice* hey inks.)
(*plays with Hope's hair, rubbing her head soothingly*
...)
We have a ball pit? I never knew we had a ballpit! How have I never noticed this before? This is wonderful! *leaps in and dramatically sinks in slow motion down, while tragic music plays, with a loud boom as he hits the bottom. Suddenly, he becomes aware of the presence of another*
Oh, hey Lay. What's shakin'?
(Hey Chloe!)
Bethany: Of course. *tilts her head to the side*
*voice is muffled from all the light, plastic balls surrounding them*
Hello, Sil. How are you?
*wbd*
(Hey Kassy
Wassup Sil?)
From Iron, cometh Strength. From Strength, cometh Will. From Will, cometh Faith. From Faith, cometh Honour. From Honour, cometh Iron. This is the Unbreakable Litany, and may it forever be so
Damn, I was too late... *doesn't know whether to clap or boo*
*shrugs and does both*
*waves at lav*
*huggles the sil*
*is at the bottom of the pit, but would have said: "Hey Inkles!"*
*Hey Lav
(Rhossie! *glomps*
Now you can tell us Kassy)
('m okay. You?)
*smiles*
Thank you.
*pulls her closer and gently bites into her neck*
(*cuddles the inky*)
*the Snow does not exist in tne same pkane as the ball pit and can thus hug people through it*
(I'm alright
Inkles?
I dedicate to New Years
And mortal instruments)
(*cuddles Silly*)
(Inkles. I hope it's okay if I call you that, because I'm calling you that now. The voiced have ordained it so.)
(*cuddles the snow* bad snow...hurt throat)
*melts into a tree*
😔( *sighs* well is been called worse things by my mum)
Bethany: *hisses but smiles, pressing against her*
Liliana: May I take a bite?
(*sits in Alastair-the-trees branches*)
Hear hear!
Sooo... Jack (on the left) made me think of Rhos and his girlfriend made me think of Chloe.
I'm sorry if you feel offended, this is meant as a joke.
Click here.
(Oh Silly)
*is kinda distracted at the moment to really comprehend what she's reading*
...
*climbs out of the ball pit and just lies down on the grass, putting an arm over her eyes*
(Well, I'll never call you anything worse. Well, maybe more cringeworthy, but nothing worse in a different sense.)
*holds her close and leaves it up to Beth to answer, calmly sucking blood out*
*massages Hope's head quietly*
(Hello, Alastair.)
Chlo Chlo! *accepts glomping and holds you in a huggle* )
(Hello everyone!)
IRON WITHIN !
IRON WITHOUT !
(Hey, Rhos!
Click?)
*rolls*
(Herrow Garrett.)
That was pretty funny Tanya.
(*watches snow roll*)
*uses his heavenly powers to rise out of the ball pit, spread eagled whilst angelic music plays in the background. Proceeds to head over to Alistree and tickle him*
(Just did Kas... Thank you *grins* )
(Herrow Trip how be you? )
How is everyone?
