"Write a new blog post," they say. Like it's that easy. Like it's that simple.
And what if I have nothing to talk about? What if there is nothing I WANT to talk about? Don't I get a say in any of this? Doesn't my opinion MATTER?
And of course the Twitter people are nudging me. Every. Single. Day. I can't escape them. They're getting into my head.
They're in my DREAMS...
I'm all achey. I've had a long day and I'm tired. All I want to do is go to bed- and yet going to bed before 2 AM always seems like a waste of time. Like there's something I could be doing, some work I could be getting done...
33,000 words done on Book 8, by the way.
This time last year (January 6th) I started KOTW. I had been hideously delayed because of work to the house I'd been having done, and the deadline was fast approaching. So this year, having 33,000 words done by this stage is something of a relief. I am, of course, assuming that I can continue writing at the same rate. So, er, hopefully I can.
Wrote a cool scene yesterday. It involves Fletcher. It involves blood. It involves AWESOMENESS.

but MAHU is eeevviiillll
*really needs to clip fingernails*
They've gotten too long...
Sorry- random comment.
lovely story Lav!
*is starting to fall asleep*
*mumbles*
Don't want to.
Ded wars? I haven't the foggiest. I haven't read anything since I've been in NZ, so...
And MAHU?
Sorry I'm so distant. I've just finished organizing everything for Hunger Games Comp. Finally...
*has woken up a bit by confusion*
Story? Wha?
The ded wars are where there are two teams (SPPB and MAHU ((DONT JOIN MAHU))) and they try and get as many deds as possible and they have to ded to their team and then their team gets a point.
JOIN SPPB
Tired? I have just the thing.
*dumps a huge bucket of cold water on Lav*
Oh yeah- good luck with that.
Sorry, I'm not participating. I'm not very comfortable with doing comps. Learned by doing Nix's... And I wouldn't have time for it after this month.
Huh. What do each of these things stand for?
And I don't think I'll be joining either. Deds are meant to be meaningful and while I don't feel that I can make meaningful deds anymore, I still think that they should be.
Thanks, Lav.
Nix's... Ugh. I really want that to start again.
*is now shocked into full awakeness*
Thank you, Mist.
What happened to TVB, Jubi? Give up on it?
Well you can ded to anything you want also... but you just have to get the ded to get your team a point
MAHU is Mycroft and his Umbrella
and SPPB is Sherlock's Pipe and Patch Brigade
Well TVB merged with SAHP so now we're SPPB
Exactly what I think, Mist. That's why I'm neutral.
I sort of told them off, but deleted the comment cause I thought it was too harsh...
Anytime! I have lots of buckets of water ready to be thrown at any moment (don't tell Sparky...).
Right, I know that. But there used to be ded wars at some point way back when as well and they started to get boring to me after a while. So I won't be joining. You have fun with that though!
I completely failed at doing a meaningful ded after that... Now I feel like a hypocrite...
Yeah, exactly. I don't have a problem with people having ded wars just as long as they aren't just dedicating to their 'team'. Because that's just completely dismissing the point of dedications. It would be better just to set out certain actions in order to get points, or else to claim a certain comment number rather than a first.
Sparky... Haven't seen her here in a while either. You want to read the poem I made for her? It came from the top of my head. I'll try doing one for others too.
About Sparky, not really for. But it could be for her too, I just didn't give it to her yet.
Good idea, Mist.
A poem? Sure.
Right, more like a cheer though. But I'm calling it a poem.
Sparky Braginski
Sparky is the greatest
She is blogfamous!
A character she made for the book,
Hayley Skirmish*, Derek took!
I'm so happy, I'm so proud
To know her as a friend.
I'll whisper it, I'll shout it loud!
Sparky is the greatest!
Heh. Yeah. :P
*laughs*
Brilliant. You can cheer her on whenever something comes up, now.
Not that she comes on heaps anymore, but still.
*smiles and laughs*
Thanks. Maybe I will. Who knows, Derek might host another comp and Sparky could enter it and I'll cheer her on then.
Derek should host another competition...
I gotta go now, Lav, sorry. I don't think I'll be back any time soon either. It was nice talking to you again, though.
Bye!
I gotta go too. It's getting a little too late now.
It was really great to talk to you again, Mist. :) Please try to get on a little more! Ya know Robin thinks we should set a date where all the old Bloglandians come on and we can have a sort of reunion thing. Would be nice, huh?
Anyway, bye Mist! And good night Blogland!
Sorry Jubi, if you're still there, to leave you alone.
haha its OK
BYE GUYS!!

Hello, Chloe.
(searching for quote for Jubi)
In my school they never shut for snow - except in 2010 when it was snowing to extremes, and they only shut after a day when only a few hundred people (we have over 2000 pupils altogether if you count sixths form) came in as tons of parents deemed going to school in that weather too dangerous.
Our school NEVER shuts. *cries*
Oh, this is Star, btw. Accidentally sihned in to wrong account. :P
Hello, Star. My school never closes either...
STAAR!!! hi
Extremely is an interesting middle name.
THAT'S BETTER. :)
STAR!!
STARRRR!!!
Will be distant...
My sister uses my other account occasionally. Dark Extremely Midnight's her taken name. :)
She says that when she gets a phone she'll start commenting on the blog. :/
I have mixed feeling about that.
* listens to tequila*
I don't have a sister, but my character does and would want her far away...
Melicia! I don't think I greeted you yet. Hi!
Wait, what????

Hi Charisma!
Was the dedicating twice for emphasis or an accident?
Oh. Bye Fabi!
I'm doing Defying Gravity for my singing grade! It's so so good!
Popular from Wicked is amazing!
yeah! it is!
I like the Star Wars musical, especially the Moff Tarkin Death Star song.
Also, 'Popular' 'All I ask of You' and whatever happens to be playing.
Haha yeah I was gonna say popular.. But defying gravity os more popular....
Heh heh heh how ironic...
I'm singing Castle on a Cloud in my lessons at the moment. It's so sad and good!

Hiya, Charisma, Jubi (Yes, I'm annoying that way. XD)
Oh. Ok.
Bye, no one!!!
hey im back!
wow i love derek landy he's so funny! i actually sent him a letter, hope he'll reply or write it on his blog! :)
Hi back, I'm Fabi!
Je suis back! I'm listening to all of the Les Mis soundtrack!
Ummm, I'm thinking of putting some videos on YouTube of me singing? Ye ou nay?
why the bad pun?
I always say that.
Go ahead, Charisma!
I worked out today how a song could be evil - an alien virus came to this plamet with the intention of taking over it. This virus is a sound virus. The virus lives in sound. Half an hour in the maximum tune it could live in, and thirty seconds is the minimum. The virus doesn't create sound, it just lives in it. If it wants to live in a new sound . . . it's a very complex process and the circumstances have to be just right, but the virus basically imprints onto a new tune. Actually, the virus is inactively everywhere on this planet - fast reproduction - but it only becomes active in the tune.
This virus is harmful to humans. Every time the tune is sounded, the virus travells along the sound waves, slipping through the gaps in the particles (the virus is very small) and moving along. If one of the viruses (there's lots of them, but they're all the same variation - so far. Can alien viruses mutate? :/) lands on a human, it will release toxins to harm the human. These toxins head for a random gene in the body (I don't know how they pick which gene they go for, it looks random) and break it. This could cause serious problems for the human. Or it could not.
The virus is then stuck on the human and cannot spread unless the human utters the tune that the virus inhabits. Then it could spread to any nearby human.
It also affects animals.
The entire tune has to be uttered to activate the virus. Once the virus is activated, it won't deactive, though it will die after 24 hours. However, inactivated particles are everywhere. They reproduce real fast. So don't think you're safe when your virus infecting you dies, if you survived the first time.
You cannot gain immunity to this virus. It's alien. Our bodies cannot fight it off. They don't even know they have to. It doesn't register on our systems until the gene gets broken, and then our bodies still do nothing, as they cannot sense where the virus or its toxins are. Too small.
The toxins are intelligent. They all break the same gene and once thwy have taken over a cell, they get it to reproduce new toxins and then the new toxins slide out of the cell (small, remember) and infect other cells, breaking the gene in that nucleus also.
The virus doesn't infect every human who hears the song. They only latch onto one if they're lucky. And sometimes the virus dies before any genes are broken. Qyite often, actually.
Eventually the virus will have killed everyone on the planet and the aliens will take it for themselves.
The tune they have imprinted themselves on is, of course, Down With The Sickness. LISTENING TO IT COULD BE BAD. SINGING IT IS WORSE COZ THE SONG IS INSIDE YOUR MOUTH AND THROAT. STAY AWAY FROM IT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE.
. . . I should make a story out of this . . .
Hello Star...
That's kinda creepy.
Suggestions of songs to sing?
I prefer songs from Musicals!
