"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.

thanks fabi!!!!
*takes M&Ms*
I have these really funky respberry M&Ms... They're yummy
If aliens land in my backyard, skip 'we come in peace' say "WE COME IN PURPLE!!!!"
People help the people
And if you're homesick,
Give me your hand
And I'll hold it....
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain
Oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone,
And rich as the fool that turned
All those golden hearts
Away
That. Was. Brilliant.
And I totally get why Ember obsessed over Mycroft.
*goes off to watch another*
SHEEERRRLLOOOCCKKK<3 <3
Hi/Bye, Kes.
My mom was watching Sherlock earlier... Which probably means she won't let me see it... She was the one who recommended the books though, so it's worth a try.
Guys, are rosaries going to become important in SPN? Like, do they ward off a certain kind of monster or something? I just saw one in the notebook while watching, so... anyone?
[Has no idea. Doesn't watch it. Wants to let you know you aren't being totally ignored though]
Aww, thanks Fabi! Do you know if everyone on this page is probably going to bed soon? Because that would totally mess up my is-able-to-watch-the-episode-Bloody-Mary-because-you-minions-are-distracting-me plan
[Plays CD, and sings along]
Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me, once in a while
Promise me you'll try.
*Laughs*
We just watched 'We Brought a Zoo'
Little Brother (LB): The animals were played by real animals!
Me: Of course they were! They're not people in suits!
LB: I thought they were...
Death is Australian, so she'll be around, if distant.
Jubi and Kes maybe.
OHMYGOSH I LOVE PHANTOM SOOOO MUCH!!!!!! THAT'S IT I GIVE UP YOU GUYS ARE OFFICIALLY PERFECT. BLOGLAND IS NOW MY LIFE. CONGRATULATIONS.
It is mid-day here!
Oh, I saw that! Do you know if the Home Depot was played by a real Home Depot? XD
Uh... There is no way in hell I am perfect!
Phantom of the Opera!!!!!
(switches to that song)
[daaaaaaaa
Da
Da
Da
Da
Daaaaaaaaaa!]
Beneath the opera house
I know he's there
He's with me on the stage
He's everywhere!
(knows Sarah brightman version better)
Death, I saw that movie while babysitting a youger friend of mine- we both burst out laughing when the son slammed the door and yelled "You never even taught me how to shave!" And then the dad yelled back "Let's shave!" It's a big inside joke between us now.
Fabi, thanks again! That's a HUGE relief.
Just out of curiosity, could anyone tell me what "distant" means?
I don't think any of us are perfect by ourselves, Death. As a group however, we ROCK!!!!!
Not completely gone, but won't respond immediately.
Aka multitasking.
Well, no one is perfect, but I think it's our imperfections that give us real beauty, anyway. Perfection might look pretty, but it's useless. So, I'll ammend my earlier statement. You're not all perfect- you're better.
That is a funny part!
Fab, your fabulous! You're right!
Brb, getting jacket. Is turning into Fabsicle.
Aretha, have we officially met?
oh, cool. Thanks!
K back.
And when my song begins,
I always find
The phaaaaantom of the opera is there, inside my mind
......................................,........................................DAAAA
DA

DAAAAA!
No, Death, I don't believe we have. :) I'm Aretha Tesla. *offers hand* I'm new to Blogland (just started commenting today) and I'm an Ameriminion. The lovely American Grand Mage gave me a job as an assasin- though I obviously haven't done anything for her yet.
In case we haven't...
I'm Death Rose,
I am an adept with the ability to twist gravity (so i can float and crush people with their own weight) and kill people with a glare. I was a hit man duo with Billy-Ray Sanguine called Sanguine Rose and I am Nefarian Serpine's daughter
I'm Fabi/Fab/Fabzilla, though I think I've officially met both of you. I've been in Blogland since late December, and I have a job with the news organization and MAHU. I can bend metal, usually.
*Shakes hand*
I also work in the Irish Sanctuary, even though I am an Aussie minion! I guard the holding cells!
I've been on since August!
I've been reading the blog since July, but only recently got a blogger account and commented.
Or maybe it was August...
If you include reading the blog and not commenting, I've been on since March
Ok, taking another break to watch episode 4 of SPN... I'll be back. Promise. Because if I don't have someone to talk to while I watch Bloody Mary (at least seven people specifically told me not to watch it alone at night- some said to skip it entirely)I might just die.
I don't, really. [shrugs]
I was sorta scared to comment til I'd gotten books 4-6.
I will be here, maybe. Depends on how late...
I will be leaving now...
BYE!!!!!!!!!!
Bye!!!
Then you'll find that once again you long
To take your heart back, and be free
If you ever find a moment,
Spare a thought for me.
[Wbd, playing Phantom of the Opera on flute. XD]
Hi! I'm back for about ten minutes!
(Not that long, if you think about it.)
Les Miz FTW!
Sorry, just had to say that. :P Before my favorite musical was Wicked, now it's Les Miserables.
They're both good, though I prefer Phantom.
I like minor keys.
I'm not mad at you.
Yeah. Phantom's good too. :)
So... Am I forgiven?
Oh. Heh. Asked that too late.
*smiles*
Thanks.
Like I said, I'm not mad at you.
I'm sorry you don't find the ded war amusing.
[smiles back] I was a bit grumpy from not having had dinner yet, sorry.
Also, love the name!!! PURPLE ROCKS!!!
[Offers organic M&MS that come in purple]
No, I do. It's just...
A bit too competitive... But it is amusing. I was just annoyed in the moment cause Zaf wanted to dedicate and you guys only let her if she dedicated to MAHU or other.
But I am finding it amusing enough. :)
I was planning to let her ded neutrally, but then I ended up accidentally getting first...
*accepts M&Ms*
Thanks.
Purple's my fave. color and, well, I'm full of hope. :P So I chose it for those reasons. :)
It's okay. I understand. Sometimes, we can't control who gets first when so many people are commenting at once.
My name comes from my French Canadian side.
I picked 'S' cause it could stand for anything. Lately Shakespeare.
Just to torture myself I'm going to stop at the climax(I think it's the climax...) and watch the rest tomorrow.
Aretha, I'll probably be here. I'm nearly always here til at least one in the morning my time.
I haven't formally introduced myself...
Kestrel LeStarre, Administrator of the American Sanctuaries and former student of China Sorrows, a your service. *bows*
*grimaces* I preferred my old introduction, but it wasn't strictly true...
Hey, Kes!
Oh, and talking about my character's name got me thinking about my character and just so you know, my profile pic is a close resemblance to what she looks like.
Hi Fabi!
Hi again Lav!(I'll take it you're another neutral, then?)
My profile pic is pretty much EXACTLY what Kes looks like, only her eyes don't glow.
Hi Kes. :)
Sorry, past ten minutes. I gotta go. Be back later! Bye!
My pic doesn't look like me, and I haven't decided what Fabi looks like... Not my pic though!
Aww. Bye Lav!
Bye, Lavender!
Fabi, is your profile pic what YOUR character looks like? *grins*
I have a pic of my old Glith avatar that I was planning to put on a volcano background and use, but I haven't gotten around to it.
Also, I'm reconsidering the background.
I actually came to appreciate fletcher from the beginning, but death bringer really developed his character.
I just thought I needed to say that.
Fair enough. This has been my picture for nearly my whole time on here...
Hi Thrust! Same. I've loved Fletcher since he first appeared, but Death Bringer made him more...I dunno, real?
Fletcher's hair says it all. XD
I WANT Fletcher's hair.
I think I would look strange with Fletcher's hair. Not that it isn't cool!
I don't really care about my hair looking strange, as is testified by the fact that I walk around with it complete bedhead. My hair is AWFUL in the mornings...
Fletcher's hair is awesome!!!!
The prologue of Virus 407B is up if you want to read it...
http://virus407b.blogspot.com.au/
I sleep with my hair in a ponytail. It helps, a bit.
Please tell me what you think!
Awesome! [Goes off to read]
Hi Death!
*goes off to read*
Hi Kes!
Gtg!
Bye!
Bye!!!
P.s.
Could you please pass on the message of Virus 407B? Pretty please?
Bye Death! Its awesome!
*It's
Brb
I'll lasso the message.
*pass on
(That was a funny one!!XD)
It was great, and it WAS funny!
I love the furry torpedo!!
I think lassoing the message would be more fun....
Okay. What are we weirdos talking about? Nothing? Well, that sounds like my blog, where NothingResides.
Death, I thought you left?
Are you still here?
Yeah, it would be.
Quite the eerie story, Death. Remind me to keep my little sis away from it!
Thrust, is that a subtle way of asking us to read your blog?
Fabi, the one with the cat and the volcano and the prince and princess? THAT little sister?
This is Fabi, reporting live from the BSB in Ghost Town.
Death's story, Virus 407B now has a prolog!
I thought the end and "sir it doesn't look very cat-like" were funniest.
I'm not sure if the second one was meant to be fun, but I really did chortle.
*attempts to write about Ivy fighting a giant troll*
Not really working, but I got a nice fun line I might keep in...
Ivy spun to look at her, and the look was most certainly doubtful. “Ignore the troll? Oh, okay, I'll just go along and ignore the giant rock cement thingy over there, planning to eat me or something, and then I'll just go ahead and get to my merry business and sing a song. There'll be butterflies and everything. Maybe it'll be a musical, “The Life of Ivy Animosity as She Ignored the Giant Troll About to Eat Her”.”
“Your new level of sarcasm is quite impressive, I must say,” Anomaly murmured.
*prologue
She would hate the cat being turned into a zombie, that's why I need to keep her away from it. She actually likes zombies, though. She's both young and old for her age at the same time...
Hi Val! That's brilliant!
One of my friends on Wattpad is writing a new story, and I got her to make the main character have a let rock name Eve and put in a scene in which a girl name Ivy kicks Eve the pet rock...
I heard! That sounds hilarious! :D
It can be spelled both ways. [checks which one Death used] ok, its a prologue then.
*pet
Hi. I can't be bothered reading through 500 comments, so can someone tell me what's going on?
Val, I'll give you guys the link when she posts it.
Hi SapphireShadowgirl!
No much...Erm...Val's writing...erm...
Hello? Will someone tell me if I give them virtual cookies? Here
(::) (::) (::)
Hi!
Kessie, I was at my cousins house to day and i swear i heard the TARDIS. I also think i saw it fade. But i could have been hallucinating.
I love Anomaly's line.
Thanks Kestrel. I've been writing fan fiction all day. I'm tired *faints*
Death posted a prologue.
There isn't much important going on.
I WANNA SEE THE TARDIS!
I swear, I heard it outside the door when I was in English. But we were taking a test so I couldn't jump up and shout about it.
Yay! Cookies! *takes cookies*
Well, nothing's really happening. I could change that, though. *grins evilly*
*blows up BSB*
Noooo... If only you could've gotten in the TARDIS!
Haha, Val, that's preposterous! (in a good way of course)
[Puts out fire and glares at Kes]
Hi Andra!
The other day I was walking through my neighborhood, talking to my cousin about Doctor Who, and trying to explain the TARDIS, and I heard EXACTLY what the TARDIS sounds like and flipped out...
[Bends metal BSB framework back together]
OMGG! I forgot to tell you what i saw when i was on my trip at stone mountain. On the side it said 'Hello Sweetie' and those symbols from the show
I'm sick of cookies... have a cupcake (I'm in a virtual baking mood)
__
(..)
\__/
Umm... It's something... I'm just not sure what..
I didn't set it on fire-I exploded it!
*Blows up BSB again*
Andra, that's awesome! You finish The Snowmen yet?
Here, have a Dalek.

Explosions usually come with fire, depends on what kind Of explosives you used, I guess.
*Gets bored of BSBs and blows up school*
*highfives SapphireShadowgirl*
[Puts out any fire there may or may not be]
Those are the BEST COOKIES EVAH!!!
*takes Dalek* Thanks, Val!
YEAH it sounded exactly like it! I heard right after i went in the bathroom looked in the mirror and said "still not a ginger" i've been doing that like every morning
[Glares]
Oh, the usual. Everybody gang up against Fabi!!!
ooh, nice dalek Val.
I was re-reading the blog entries and I found that one where Derek says something huge and epic happens in the middle of book 8! I NEED THAT BOOK!
Kessie no i didn't . Think about what time i was last online
*Hi-fives Kestrel back* Wanna blow up your school?
Oh, right. *owns The Snowmen*
YES! If i blow up the school i dint have to go back
SapphireShadowgirl, sure! Andra, you wanna blow up our school?
*listening to Kashmir* I love this song...
Gtg. [Melts together BSB grime work into motorbike and speeds away]
Bye!!!
Hmm... bored of blowing up stuff. *Chases Fletcher*
All you guys are lucky. You've heard the TARDIS :(
SapphireShadowgirl, can I call you Sapphy?
Wait... I will blow up stuff! *Gathers explosives*
Bye Fabi!
Sapphy, I think you and Grand Mage Kerias would get along rather well...
Yeah, you can call me Sapphy or Saph, I don't mind. My taken name's Sapphire Iota, but I use SapphireSHadowgirl because it's my fanfic pen name and I can't be bothered changing it. How many schools are we blowing up btw?
My school wouldn't cancel school if it was blown up. We'd still have to go, in uniform and everything and sit in the ashes of the remains and listen to boring lectures.
Err... I don't actually know who that is. Explosives are ready!
Oh, that's a cool name.
I got bored of blowing things up. I need constant distraction...
*jumps in volcano*
Well thats....lame
Lol. My school wouldn't cancel either, we'd go to a nearby school and get crammed into a crowded classroom.
Sapphy, I know. Zafira Kerias, Grand Mage of Amrerica until Derek fired her.
Oh well. *blows up your school for you anyway because I can't be bothered getting rid of the explosives*
Bored. *Goes skydiving*
She likes exploding Ireland....
I don't really get on well with authority... hmm... I don't usually blow stuff up.
I BLAME YOU KESTREL! (Thanks btw. I think your name is really epic too)
Dang it. It's COLD OUT! Maybe it'll still be hot from the fire.
*climbs out of volcano*
*looks around*
*sees Dusk*
Oh, fun...Anyone want to help?
*draws swords and runs at Dusk*
KESTREL think my name is epic..
Why do I get compared to an evil woman? *Does puppy eyes*
Sapphire, have I actually said anything since you came on?
*checks*
Oh, right. Dalek.
Anyway, I like killing things. I mean, hello.
Sapphy, thanks. Erm. She's kind of not the greatest authority figure. And technically I'M an authority figure...
*slashes at Dusk*
*Dusk steps out of the way, laughing*
*Drops down on Dusk and lands on his back so that he's giving me a piggyback ride*
Val, you mind helping?
*steps back and draws both knives*
*throws one at Dusk's head and one at his leg*
*pushes Dusk off the cliff and into the saltwater, so he dies*
Problem solved.
Hello, Val! I saw the pictures of the birthday party you held for Derek and I laughed. It was awesome. I've actually been stalking this blog for ages, but for some reason it wouldn't let me comment :(
*Dusk blurs around them*
*curses*
*taps symbols and sends energy wave at Dusk*
Sapphy, you might want to get out of the way of that...
Thanks Sapphire!
I'm going to Ireland to meet him at the end of March... DEREK CANNOT ESCAPE ME.
Ok guys, this is it. I'm going to watch Bloody Mary. And I'm probably going to kill my soul in the process. Oh dear. So, I'll be distant, but... Will you guys distract me please? (you don't have to do anything really just keep posting so I have something to think about)
Val, that's no fun...
*glances at computer battery*
It'll be dying soon, no doubt...
Which means I'll be distant, 'cause I'm trying to write.
*sobs*
Aretha, sure.
Ooh! Awesomeness! Fletcher! Blood! You tease ;)
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why you sob? Why you no plug computer in?
*Jumps off Dusk's back just before the energy wave hits, using my twin daggers to pretty much amputate his right arm at the same time*
Don't go Val!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Suz! Just want to let you know-your book covers were amazing!
Oh yes, Suz! I loved them! The titles were good too. I liked the titles.
You will survive, young Aretha. (Well, acually you're probably older than me, but whatev.) Your heart is strong. (Is it? I dunno)
How old ARE you, Sapphy?
I'm somewhere between the ages of 13 and 16. Good enough?
How old are you?
Yay! I'm still youngest minion!
*doesn't think Brave really counts*
I know you weren't asking me, but I'm thirteeeeeeeeen!
Voice in head: COUGH You act like a four-year-old COUGH.
Me: But one hell of a cool four-year-old! *dramatic sunglasses*
Voice in head: *facepalm*
'm 11.
Oh, gtg, sorry :( I'll try to get back on later. See you awesome people I've only known for a few minutes! Byyye!
I'm 13too
*laughs* Val, you're awesome. :)
Yah I get a ded!
Bye!
No, you're 1st.
DEDICATE, KILANDRA.
Bye Sapphy!
*is not at all tired at 1 in the morning* there's something wrong with me...
Bye! Oh, and that means that for the first time in my life I'm not the oldest on a website. I'm 13 too :) Now I REALLY have to go. Bye!
It's the glowing screen.
[Is back, for a bit.]
Hmmm.....lets see . I dedicate this to Fletcher's hair, 'cause it's awesome like that. Also i dedicate this to my cat and the internet. And last i dedicate this to the hopes that school will be cancelled forever.
Sapphy, Em's 23...
