Taia: my brain can't ever choose convenient times to sleep. Like, y'know, NIGHT. :P
Flora: Ditto! MidDAY? Knackered. MidNIGHT? Buzzing. And I write best at night too. But I can't stay awake too long, because I can't sleep in very long because I have things to do -.- one of the reasons I want to become an author? so I can choose my own sleep pattern :P
Taia: *laughs* That's it. :P
(Not to mention that when I DO almost get to sleep, my brain's like "Woah, you expect me to breathe FOR you? I agreed to nothing of the sort - do it yourself." - For which I'm going to blame summer in general :P )
Choosing my own sleep patterns would be nice - I'm with you on that one. :P
Flora: Hahaha EXACTLY :P
Goddammit, why can't I just sleep through the day?? :P
Taia: Ha, that would be SO much nicer. And I would be expected to, like, TALK with people much less often, unless they particularly want to join me at two in the morning. Social awkwardness problem SOLVED (or, at the very least, avoided). :P
Flora: I never even considered that, but omg yes.
I could get up at, like, 8pm, and have 'breakfast'. If anybody wanted to talk to me, then they'd have to book an appointment between 8pm and 9pm, cos after then I'd watch a couple of things (most of the things I watch are on at 9pm-1am). Then, I'd have 'lunch' about 1am, and start work after that. 'Dinner' would be about 7am/8am, then I'd go to bed about 11am/noon. I'd have another appointment based talking session between 9am/10am too.
omg, genuinely cannot wait for this (if I ever become an author)
Taia: Omgg, Flora you're a genius. Best daily schedule ever. You don't mind if I borrow that, if I ever come into authorhood too, do you? It's just so perfect. C:
Flora: Go ahead! Don't mind at all!
omg and, like, I would enjoy my work, because it would be writing stories, so my life would just be brilliant.
Granted, I couldn't live with anyone because I'm pretty sure they'd kill me after the third day of this, but STILL
Taia: LOL, that's a fair point, but who needs people off-schedule anyway? :P
I need this way of life in my future. :P
Next time one of those 'careers advisors' asks what I plan to do with my life, I will have an answer. xD
"What do you plan to do when you leave school?" "Live alone, become nocturnal and write weird fiction." "... Okay. Did you have any other plans in mind, at all?" "Nope." :P
Flora: Ooo, and bake cookies in our spare time! Cos...y'know...brain food for writing, or something...
THEY'RE NEEDED, okay?
:P
Taia: Absolutely! :)
And maybe save a little time to stalk Derek and/or for art-ness. :P
Flora: Definitely! And we'd obvs have to save sometime for Blogland and everyone. And reading - cos an author gotta read.
omg, like, SERIOUSLY, I need this to happen right now.
Taia: Naturally. :) *Nods* I swear, if this happens, my life will be complete. :P
Flora: Ditto. This needs to happen. Why can't life always be like that? It would just make so much more sense. I hate how we have to stick by the social construction of 'day' and 'life', and can't just live how we want to, i.e. like the above.
RIGHT, LET'S STAGE A REVOLUTION. Sorted.
Taia: That is so true. I WILL SUPPORT THIS REVOLUTION.
Flora: WE WILL CREATE A NEW WORLD OF FREEDOM, WHEREBY YOU CAN CHOSE YOUR OWN SLEEP PATTERN AND BE AS SOCIALLY AWKWARD AS YOU WANT.
And also to music and Blogland and writing and ideas and Batman and randomness because that's all awesome. :3
And thanking people for their kindnesses and whatnot, because that gives me the opportunity to so say Thanks, Dragona! :) And to making people feel welcome - Welcome back Star! :) And also to showers! And, finally, I dedicate to dedicating to whatever appears in the comments as you're writing a dedication. *nods*
It's a fanfic story based on one of my favourite video game series. You don't have to know anything about it because I've explained anything and you can always ask questions.
I'd just appreciate feedback on it since it's new and I'd like to know what people think.
And I will put warnings before each of the parts saying what they contain. Because some of the stories will contain foul language, gore and other things...
Sorry I poofed. Got distracted by string art, because I stopped listening to music, and I was looking up at the end of every song, plus I went to read Dragona's fanfic.
You all stare, but you'll never see There's something inside me . . .
*shivers* I always see that line as being from the perspective of the ground. There are all these people staring at the ground, but they don't see that there's a woman buried under there and she's dying and they don't see her and argh . . . *is almost crying*
*hugs Star* It's a scary song. But it's also a brillaint song. And the perception there is incredible. I didn't catch that when I was listening earlier, but... Wow.
@Taia: I LIKE RANDOM LYRICS< THEY'RE COOL TO READ. :)
And, I rarely reply in order either. Not even on emails, which can be confusing, when it's an hour of typing and you have to look back at the one they replied to to find out what they're talking about. I do make an effort to stay in order, then, so often I write it out of order and go back and forth, and I've totally wandered off the track, the path, THE PATH IS WALK IS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, and um, yeah. :P
I keep watching you to spot the time when you'll be not nice, because nobody is flawless, and everybody has flaws, but I can't find your flaws and it bugs me to hell. :P
*hugs Maraness* Nothing is for nothing. People will have learnt stuff from it. They'll take this experience away with them and make something out of it. Whether what they'll make will be bad or good was never defined, but everything happens for a reason, and if the bad didn't happen, the goodness that came because of it also would not happen.
Willow, I don't even know what liberal means. Literally. I mean, I know it's something to do with political parties, but I really don't follow politics, and I'm generally against the idea of political parties as a whole.
liberal as in anything. I ask this question cause i have a boyfriend who is older then me, so I get stares, and outof curiosity I wonder how liberal you guys are.
@Mara: *laughs* Sorry. You know, that quote (THE PATH I WALK IS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION) really messes with my head and I run in circles trying to solve it, because how can there be a right direction and a wrong direction when there is only one direction? *frowns*
Star- now that I know you're looking for flaws, what do you think mine are? Just curious- you don't have to answer, and I promise I won't take offense to anything you say.
Oh! Well, as far as accepting others- I'll accept anything. I mean, if you kill people for fun, I might take up issue with that, or if you beat people or steal things in a malicious way, but otherwise, I'm fine with everybody! All sorts of styles, genders, appearances, tastes, sports, hobbies, likes, dislikes, whether you're independent or follow what everybody else does- I just really don't care. I am for people being exactly who they are, and nothing else. Not like I would be one to judge, anyway- I fall in love with fictional characters and wear a cloak to school when it rains. :)
Open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.
Noun
A person of liberal views.
Synonyms
generous - bounteous - lavish - bountiful - free
I'm pretty damn liberal. No one can be 100% liberal, but I try my very hardest. :)
I mean, I write a massive speech including quotations every time someone implies murderers aren't good people. XD
Stares?
YOU ALL STARE BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE, THERE'S SOMETHING INSIDE ME.
Well, let them stare. Those who mind, don't matter, and those hwo matter, don't mind. Biodiversity is variation within a species and biodiversity is essential to survival of a species, so it's good to vary from the rest of your species and be different. I think almost every teenage girl on the planet fangirls over people who are older than them. THAT'S perfectly mainstream, sooooo.
(Notice my use of the word 'mainstream.' It is one of my favourite words, beacuse it's all blue and streamy PLUS I can't use the word 'normal' because normal doesn't exist, so mainstream is a good substitute and mainstream DOES exist. Majorities exist. :))
A cloak? Then you'd automatically be my riend at school, lol. I dn't wear cloaks, but good style. Just asking since people give me and my boyfriend stares, won't say his age exactly, but he's older then Derek Landy, that much I'll say!
*hugs Taia back* If Directioners could have just stopped to think for a minute, there wouldn't be any Fandom World Wars. -.- Friendships were broken. People were hurt. Just because Directioners are absolute idiots and don't take no for an answer.
And now there's Fandom World War III coming up, and Directioners play a huge role in that too.
Basically the Beliebers are annoyed at us for breaking the VEVO record with Best Song Ever (we got 10 million + views on it for the boys' anniversary) and they want to beat our record with Justin Bieber's new song Heartbreaker. Which is fine, but they're getting lots of fandoms to start hating the Directioners and joining the Beliebers side.
@Star: I'm not always nice. *throws a marshmallow at a passing hippopotamus* See?
I have plenty of flaws - I just try embrace them like one would embrace advantages. Sometimes I fail both miserably, but, I don't know. (I feel like I need to list my flaws, now, to confirm that they're there. :P)
*hugs back* Thank you for saying that. It means a lot to me that you think that, and moreso that you can say it to me. That absolutely didn't almost bring tears to my eyes, Star. :P *hugs again* :)
For the record, though, I don't think I've ever caught YOU being un-nice, or unfriendly. Maybe I get it from you? ;)
* to prove that they're there, and confirm what they are
@Willow: Hm. Give me a second, and I'll think about it. For the most part, I try to be as liberal as I can, in a sense of accepting others, and their opinions and beliefs and I'll almost certainly ramble about this so I may try to focus by starting a new comment. :P
As far as getting stares- I'm quite used to them. Very, very, very used to stares. My school is really conformist, and as I said above, I wear a cloak. That's weird. And I just have an odd style in general. My hair is short and spiky, and my sense of fashion is really mercurial- I go from antique gothic to nerdy to summary all within the week, and I never pick my clothes according to the weather, so sometimes I wear sweaters in the summer and shorts and spaghetti straps in the winter. I like to dance in the rain when everybody else is inside. My backpack is a US Mail bag from the 1940s. I'm way more attracted to books than people (in terms of physical appearance, I know it's odd), and I'm always balancing on one leg, even when I sit down (and I always prefer to sit on the arm of a chair). That's just a few of the things I get weird stares for. I was actually bullied pretty intensely in 8th grade- people threw stuff at me occasionally, yelled names and occasional swears at me all the time, but I truly and honestly never cared. And I think that's also sort of weird. And lucky. And my taste in music is also really mercurial. I like classical, rock, alternative, metal, victoriandustrial, and progressive symphonic metal. And this is turning into a rant, so I'm going to stop now. :)
@Ari: I don't want to ever tell anyone their flaws . . . *winces*
So nobody else ask me what their flaws are if I can spot them, because I will not answer. :)
(Unless I change my mind, that is.)
. . . You see, if I start describing, I will have more flaws for some than for others, and I don't want to do that. Also . . . I'm sort of scared of telling people. I don't really like telling my friends that's they're not awesome in this way or that way. Which is part of one of my personal flaws. :)
But I often look out for flaws in people. I try and find the flaws and the good stuff and how it's related and unique. I'm a very analytical person. :P (This is partially why I'm scared of people judging me. Not people I dislike, people I like. Because I know what I would be thinking, and I think a lot.)
Ok, Taia. Well Ari in my book you're not weird. In fact when you think about it normal doesn't even exist, no one is the same, therefore everyone is weird and not normal. And my relationship is a greater gap then that
That's fine, Star, although I do promise never to think any less of you or myself if you do tell me my flaws. :)
And I'm tempted to go on a rant about how much I think and how that's weird, too, but I've already done too many of those today, and I don't think you guys just want to hear me prattling on and on about my weirdness.
Yeah, I understand that normal doesn't really exist, but I'm really super incredibly weird by my school's standards, and I understand that I'm just generally unusual. But I like that about myself. Most people think of 'weird' 'odd' and 'quirky' as negative words, but I think of them in positive terms.
About your age difference- that's still cool with me. As I said, I have no concept of the thing. :)
@Taia: LOL, I have tons of flaws. :) And I am very nice, I will admit that. Because nicety is one of my fatal flaws and I'm TOO nice and I wouldn't have shot Lennie even if I KNEW it would be best to shoot Lennie, and more suffering would have come about because of it, and I've been in I-should-shoot-Lennie situations before and I have not been a Geogre. (Sorry, it's my best metaphor for the occasion.) So I am nice, but I'm like the worst friend ever, so that's sort of unfriendly, and I have been pretty damn mean to friends before. :P But thanks. :) And, yes, I shall accept your thanks, because people deserve thank yous when they be honest and tell the truth. XD
*picks up the marshmallow from where it bounced off the hippotamus onto the flaw and eats it* BUT GIVING BUBBLES MARSHMELLOWS IS NICE! :P
@Mara: That goes for every fandom, not just Directioners.
(O.O - I didn't even recognise half of those fandom names.)
There'll probably always be disputes between groups of people, because you believe in what you do so strongly, and it's it's beautiful but everything has its flaws. But you don't have to be a part of the quarreling. I'd say you're an even better fan if you don't partake in that fighting, and maybe share with others why not and what you've said there, effectively. The fact that you disagree is amaZayn and I only wish everybody in each of the other fandoms could see that.
Basically, it's hard to be inconspicuous when you bring an inkle loom to dress rehearsal as your something to do when you're not on stage. Most of the others bring phones or iPads, a few have books. I've got an inkle loom. XD
That's why I love my friends at dance, is because they think I'm weird and don't have a problem with it.
I'm pretty sure my body only needs 6 hours of sleep, because if I fall asleep at midnight I wake up naturally at 6am. I'm usually up till, like, 2, though.
Thanks, Star! *hugs* I think you're really really awesome, too! Actually, I just realized that you guys didn't know any of that, since we can only talk on here... 0.0 Weird...
Btw, did you see? MY LM PLAYLIST IS 1 HOUR AND 11 MINUTES LONG. ONE ONE ONE. *nods very proudly, like I planned it that way instead of just happening to notice it* And one and one and one add up to threeeeee. :)
@Ari: I'm more . . . *hesitates* MAINSTREAM (mwahahaha, it's such an awesome word. Fuck normal) than you, which I don't mean as an insult, it's a compliment, just making that clear. Whenever someone calls me weird, whether they mean it in a bad way, it affects me like a compliment and makes me feel happier because I WANT to be weird. :) So yay. :)
@Willow: Don't stress about it. *shrugs* Derek was saying at Leeds about Valduggery, because someone asked his opinion on it. And he pointed out the age difference, then said he didn't have a problem with that, because that was essentially what every vampire romance book was about. And he's right. Half the books for our age range are romance books with a large age difference between the romancees, which is now a word coz I say it is.
They are cool! You can't really make cloth with them, just bookmarks, belts, stuff like that, but I really like warp-faced weaving. Also they don't take as long to set up and don't have lots of little parts to keep track of. Just the loom and the shuttle, of course.
[Realizes that probably doesn't mean anything go you]
Well, I mean, technically he's fictional, but I've never had a crush on a non-fictional person anyway, and I'm already hopelessly in love with a fictional character, so. I don't think it really matters. *laughs at self* Ohmygosh, I must be really liberal... I don't even judge people for being fictional! *laughs a little more in real life*
No, not Skulduggery. One of my OCs. *winces horribly at that expression and is immediately tempted to delete it because he really isn't my character any more than I am his* *and yes, I did just say that I am his character* *it's complicated*
No but it's actually really bad- like, I've been hopelessly in love with this character for 3 years now- that's not even an exaggeration- and I can't even count how many nights I've spent crying over the fact that we don't exist in the same way... Nevermind the fact that even if he wasn't fictional he would never have a relationship...
I am the character an apparent majority of the people on this blog ship with Aretha. Forgive me, but I cannot recall whether we have previously met, Willow.
I'm so sorry, Maraness! It's been really hard to keep up with all the replies being detailedness . . . I wasn't ignoring you. :(
Well, sometimes, people=shit. There will never stop being badness in fandoms, beacuse fandoms are made up of people, and there is badness in people. However, there will also never stop being goodness in fandoms, beacuse there is also goodness in people. In The Immortals, I can't remember which book, Ever (the protagonist) tried to bind this person to her using dark magic so she could get something she wanted off them. However, she did it wrong, and she accidentally bound herself to him. She stressed and stressed and stressed over it, and her mental health plummetted and her physical health wasn't doing too good either. She kept walking to the person's house in the middle of the night, and she couldn't talk to anyone about it beacuse the spell wouldn't allow her. And she ried all this stuff but nothing would work, and everything just kept getting worse. And she was just in such a mess, and it was horrible and depressing, so naturally it was my favourite book of the series. And then she did another spell, and it sort of went right, and she was so happy. She began getting her life back on track, she could speak to people about it again, and everything was going right. She thought she's got rid of her problem. But then, when she went near the person she'd bound herself to, the monster rose again and she realised with horror that she hadn't actually solved the problem. And everything went back to the downward spiral.
And at the end of the book, she finally manages to ask someone to help her out. And the person, who's pretty wise and all that, said that all she had to do was fill herself with positive energy. That it wasn't the magic that was putting her in a state, it was the negative thoughts and energy. That because she worried and stressed and obsessed over it, that made it get worse. And the said that when she'd done the spell that she thought had healed herself, it mostly worked beacuse she stopped thinking and worrying, and the fact she wasn't pouring negative energy into it helped her get better. And then she worked on just being postive, and she was cured.
My point is, Maraness . . . Don't stress. It's bad for you. If you be happy and think happy thoughts, it'll help you out. :)
This is only half-relevant, but we were all sat watching Wolf Blood on BBC3 yesterday, because we're apparently started watching it on BBC3 every Tuesday, and my mum (who was the Senior Youth Advisor for Holderness until she quit her job just this month. She really knows her stuff) was pointing out how they'd worked all these anger-management tips into it, and that they worked for humans too, not just wolves (she meant wolf bloods, not wolves. :P) So, one of my mum's tips for feeling good, something you can do instead of cutting - excercise. Jump on your bike, go swimming. It's a release and clears your mind. One of my own tips for feeling better - make something for someone. It makes me feel so happy when I give someone a drawing or somehting, because they always tell me how awesome I am and it's just so awesome. So I kind of draw stuff for people just beacuse I like the reactions and the feelgoodness, which is kind of utterly and totally sleifsh, but MEH. I stopped drawing for people though, beacuse I couldn't be bothered, so ummmm. :P (Yup, I'm really so nice, Taia. XD)
And . . . I'm just been rambling from subject to subject and have sort of lost the plot, if I ever had it, so um . . . yeah.
And I'm only super obsessed with people who are either fictional or long dead... It's a little depresssing... Oh well. *shrugs* I can't really do anything about it.
@Willow: Provided help is actually help, and whoever's helping them still respects them, and can see and believe that they're not all bad, yeah. :) It's a difficult topic, and something I'm very prone to ranting about. So I'll just try not to. :P
But if the problem is how people see you or a situation that you're in, then it doesn't matter, because they're not you. We're all different, and sometimes people just fail to realise that. But you're you, and you're perfect, because if you weren't perfect then you wouldn't be you.
I think I'm a little behind on the conversation, now, so I'm gonna stop and read up. :P
Ugh. My brain can't take in all of these comments at once. So I'm gonna not read any of them and hope nobody takes offence. Sorry. I'm lazy, okay? :P But *hugs everybody*
@Ari: Because you're awesome, he's awesome, you're like the only one he cares about, you care about him a lot and look out for him (and remind me of Ez with Hunter), you know each otehr very well and it's very sweet. :)
Oh, but @Star (and I'm allowed to reply to this one because I read it before writing the comment that then went and disappeared because Blogger is a smug little blergharerf sometimes and does that. :P): I LOVE the Of Mice and Men reference - And I have to say you're not alone in that. I couldn't ever shoot a person, and metaphorically speaking, I'm not much better. In IRL though, I can just flip sometimes and hurt people because my mind and my mouth aren't quite connected as they should be, and I hate that because hurting people is the last thing that I ever want to do, even if I know that it could help them out, in one way or another.
*grins* BUT I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE MARSHMALLOW. YOU TOOK IT. :P
Also, did I ever mention that I have a friend who's nickname has been Bubbles for more years than I've known her? You're both awesome, and you're both Bubbles. :3 I just think that's really cool. :P
Woah. I jumped from a negative to a positive there very suddenly. Oops. I probably should've segued into that somehow. Oh well. Now I know that.
I'll just pretend I put something along the lines of "Maybe that's a good think and maybe that's a bad thing and I don't know so just meh.", because that's probably the overall sense of what I just said, even though I don't even remember.
*hugs Fabi back*
*hugs Death*
WARNING: I may miss comments so please don't take offence if I seem to be ignoring you - I'm not. My brain is just going into screensaver mode and I can't help it. Sorry. :P
@Taia: THAT ISN'T REALLY COOL. THAT'S REALLY REALLY COOL. :) And thanks. :)
And, Taia - YOU'RE AN ATOMI BOMB! *screams*
Sorry, it's just my friend invented this long metaphor, and she's an atomic bomb. And there are lots of sparks, which set off the atomic bomb. And I am water, because I dampen the sparks and stop the atomic bomb going off. I'm her cure, apparently. And she asks me all these questions like "Woulnd't it be better if the atomic bomb didn't exist, seeing as all it does in tis life is explode and cause lots of suffering?" and "Should atomic bombs just isolate themselves adn stay away from people so they don't hurt them?" and "Is it the atomic bomb's fault they explode?" and "How can the atomic bomb stop itself exploding?" and I'm trying to think of a way in which atomic bombs are good, beacuse my friend is one of the most awesome people in the entire world and there's much more to her than explosions. So, Taia, when I say you're like an atomic bomb, what I really mean is, you're like my irl (you actually rmeind me of her seomtimes), and she's awesome, so YAY. :)
My friend also says she's a lone wolf, incidentally. And she asks me if the lone wolf was always alone, or if it used to have a pack. And she asks whether it would be good if it found a pack or not, and how it would find a pack. And we're having an email converstaions pondering this about bubbles and wolves, like she asked didn't I pop when I accepted points, and what if points were double sided, how would I stop myself from popping, and she also said that wolves hunted their threats so she was drawn to bad things. And I really need to reply to her. D:
And, Taia, I don't have a reply to the fact you couldn't shoot him. Because whatever I say also applies to myself, and so I can't start talking about how it's good because then I'm defeating my poinT I was making about nicenss being a bad thing, and I can't hardly start talking about how it's bad because it's kind of insulting to you. :P
So my opinons will stay in my head.
And, Ari . . . If they weren't my characters, I would really ship it, but as it is, I'm inside their heads, and it just doesn't work like that. Maybe I'll change my mind. The whole thing changes so much. It changes constantly. If I told you about what it started off like, and what it was at this point, and tons of stuff . . . well, I'm not 100% sure what you'd all do, but I'm just like WOAH WHAT. It's constantly shifting. :P I like people shipping it, though. *laughs*
@Ari: We know. Wolves are meant to travel in packs, but she isn't in a pack, and we discuss that a lot when we have our long metaphorical conversations which annoy our other friends to death. :P
Niccolò and I had a really weird starting off relationship. I can't say whether or not it's anything like Hunter and Ez at all, but yeah. It's mostly just because Niccolò is so unstable and mercurial, though.
*nods* I have metaphorical conversations with my friends a lot, too. All of us have yet to come up with airtight metaphors for each other. I think that's probably because we can't, because humans are so individual and therefore no metaphor can fit any of us perfectly because we're all different.
Star your friend sounds so awesome. None of my irl friends have such awesome questions to ask and think about and such. (Except for maybe one who maybe comes close, in a way. She once asked if I'd prefer to have feet made out of paper or bread. I don't remember what my answer was, though. :P)
I wouldn't say there are many sparks that would set me off, but it's odd because my friends say my role is more to do with that kind of water than the exploding. I think that's interesting. I think a friend (the same friend as above, actually) once likened me to a book, for reasons. But I guess a book has the power to completely obliterate one's thoughts and feelings and emotions, but also to bring happiness and laughter and fandoms and whatnot. So I guess there's good points and bad points within that? And is maybe different to different people who read it. I don't know. Maybe your friend (and I) could both be books. Anyway.
Back to the atomic bomb. What about every second that the bomb doesn't go off - it's good then, simply because it's not exploding, right?. And it can make people feel safe that they have protection and defense, even if they don't want it to actually explode. I guess that's a good point about atomic bombs. Which is probably what I was trying to say the whole time.
I don't know what I am, but I exist and that's enough for me at the moment, I think. :)
Well, Hunter's just HUNTER. He employs Ez, you know, and they met in the interview thingy, and Ez was just thinking about how he was completely insane but was trying to just go along with it beacuse she wanted the job, didn't she, and Hunter was just being as mad as he wanted because he really couldn't care what anyone thought and if people couldn't handle it then they weren't the right material anyway. :P
And then next time . . . because they have all these test thingys . . . *frowns* I've actually forgotten what the hell Hunter did to the room, but he did something to it and was pretending to be one of these people or other and just like WHAT. :P
They did do quite a lot of flirting in the interview/test thingys, incidentally. XD
(Yeah, I thought half of this out once. Almost started writing it once too.)
Yeah, when Niccolò and I met, he was going to kill me, and the whole premise of him training me and such was so that he could kill me once I was stronger... I think you know all of this from the MC, though, don't you? XD As far as I know (I'm really, really bad at picking up on that kind of thing) we've never flirted...
"All of us have yet to come up with airtight metaphors for each other. I think that's probably because we can't, because humans are so individual and therefore no metaphor can fit any of us perfectly because we're all different."
THANK YOU, Ari.
I'm often trying to say how I can never describe people because I can't explain the THEMness of them, as there's never been anything like them before so there's nothing to like them to corretly enough.
And, YOUR FRIENDS ALSO SOUND SO AWESOME. O_O
She is awesome. :) I have no idea why on earth she wants to be friends with me, coz she's way aweosmer than me. :P Nobody object, because I'm lazy and can't be botehred to argue.
@Taia: Thanks. :) I'll say about that. :) And, the books one is a good one . . . *nods thoughtfully*
"I don't know what I am, but I exist and that's enough for me at the moment, I think. :)" starts singing* I know, I know I'll never be perfect** I know, I know But I'm gonna work it *skips a few lines* We are who we are who we are Pretty's just a pretty word And I'm gonna shine like a star Coz I'm the only me in this world *breaks off*
**The word perfect is an ERROR. She means FLAWLESS. :P
We are who we are who we are, and that we won't change it, so we may as well work it. I think that was vaguely linked to what you were saying. ANyway, I liked what you were saying. And, um, yeah, agreementness. :P
Still @Flora: And in answer to your question, possibly for the same reason that I keep watching Hannibal. It's horrible and completely obliterates your mental capabilities and emotions, but it's just so damn good and the cannibal puns are subtly hilarious.
So, basically, maybe you read tragic things because feels and awesomeness and cannibalistic humour.
The cover is amazing on back as well as front! I can't wait to see what it all means!
*refrains from asking millions of questions*
I will be jumping up and down with anticipation for Last Stand of Dead Men! Except I will stop when I get the book, because it's hard to read while jumping up and down.
Blogger Taia DeMars, Inesculent Bean of Written Ramblings (and Dinosaur Enthusiast) said... Maybe everybody has a role as water and as an atomic bomb.
I don't know.
It's something to think about though. I like to think, so that's fine. :)

@Taia: . . . Good view. O_O I also like thinking. :)
HEY FLORA! *hugs*
Because we want to experience things, Flora. That's why we do it. :)
@Ari: Yeah, but Ez is Ez. Or Ez was Ez. Or no, Ez wasn't Ez, but now Ez is Ez, and Ez is Ez anyway so this is irrelevant. Not sure that makes sense. But uh. Makes sense to me. :P
"All of us have yet to come up with airtight metaphors for each other. I think that's probably because we can't, because humans are so individual and therefore no metaphor can fit any of us perfectly because we're all different."
I didn't see that before, but thanks, Aretha. That's- wow. That's wondeful. Thanks. :)
I OBJECT! (But I'll do it quietly if you want, so you can pretend you didn't hear and don't have to argue. That way we both win. :P)
"Because we want to experience things, Flora. That's why we do it. :)"
Okay, so that made a lot more sense than what I said. But I still got to fit cannibalistic humour into MY explanation. Which is an achievement, considering it wasn't really relevant at all. :P
@Taia: Thank you!!!!!!! :) *hugs* I have no idea what I'm thanking you FOR though, seeing as I don't have a clue what you just said because I couldn't hear you. :P
ADRAAAAAA! :)
It's like when Fabi was wearing the same clothes as her profile picturewhen she completed it! *nods*
No no no. Not why so serious. Why so Sirius! :) Two references with one stone. *nods*
Did I ever tell any of you about the girl in my (second) primary school who was in either nursery or reception or not in the school yet, or maybe a bit older but I don't know but anyway, who once appeared at the school wearing a pink-princess-y-tutu-y-kind-of-dress, and a Batman mask. IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE OF CLOTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN EVER.
ugh, it's this really tragic story about two guys who were childhood friends and are completely destined for each other (and are together for 7 years - there is roughly a chapter a year) but, because of society and its presumptions on homosexuality, start to doubt whether they should be together. Then, one of them (Guy #1) gets a girl pregnant (there is a back story so we hate him for it, but we don't hate him) and decides to marry her because it's the correct thing to do, as he doesn't believe she should abort, and he wouldn't let her raise it on her own. It's just....I can't bloody handle it. Because the other guy (Guy #2) was all like "okay" and "it's the right thing to do". Then, on their last night together, Guy #1 apologizes again and Guy #2 finally breaks AND IT'S JUST TOO MUCH. I CAN'T HANDLE THIS LEVEL OF FEELS. And freaking Guy#2 has now gone missing because he wanted to cut all ties because it was just too painful.
I'm not explaining it well, but it's just a tragic and beautiful and tragic and horrible and tragic and BEAUTIFUL love story.
I just...
I can't...
@Taia (again): ...somehow, even with the cannibalism, that totally made sense.
@Star: Yeah, I agree. And I read them because I know that, yes, I will cry, and yes, I will hate the author and the story, but I'll completely fall in love with it too. Yes, it'll hurt to read it, but no, I would never give it up.
@Flora: That sounds... Wow. And, damn. Yeah. I see what you mean. D: It sounds amazing and beautiful and horrible and tragic and feelsy and just incredible. Wow.
I always read things even when they hurt me, if I love the characters, and I always let characters into my heart even if they are doomed to die in the end. I never love them any less just because they are fictional, even though it tears me to pieces sometimes, because they're such amasing people, and they deserve to be loved, and they deserve to have people who will always love and support them in their darkest days, even if they don't know they're being loved. And I know I'm saying the word 'love' a lot, but I don't think I'm overusing it, because no other word will fit. I like to let myself believe that somewhere, in some other world or dimension, someone is watching and loving all of us, too, even though we don't know it. I don't remember why I wrote this, now, but I've written it, so I may as well post it.
Amen, Aretha. I hate it when people laugh or say "wow that's weird" when I tell them about the books and things that I get emotional about. No, it's not that I cry a lot, but more of I see myself in a character, and it makes me sad.
And then there is Augustus Waters but let's not go there
*eyes the ded rights* *takes a cautious step away* If I get hold of them, I'll just use them for something dumb. Like Harrison Ford based pseudonyms and space cats.
@Aretha: That's a pretty wonderful representation of not just why we continue reading, but maybe why we continue doing a lot of things. Thanks for that. :)
I should probably do something with one of the ones I already started, huh?
Um... If you haven't seen it already, would you mind looking at my Shunting Experiment blog? It's a collab idea... And if you're busy or don't want to, that's ok.
Don't, don't, don't let's start This is the worst part Could believe for all the world That you're my precious little girl But don't, don't, don't let's start I've got a weak heart And I don't get around how you get around
No one in the world Ever gets what they want And that is beautiful Everybody dies Frustrated and sad And that is beautiful They want what they're not And I wish they would stop Saying Deputy Dawg dog a ding dang depadepa Deputy Dawg dog a ding dang depadepa
Sorry for random lyrics-ing, but... That verse. IDK.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 4933 Newer› Newest»@Rhydian:
Right, here's the main bits of the convo
Taia: my brain can't ever choose convenient times to sleep. Like, y'know, NIGHT. :P
Flora: Ditto! MidDAY? Knackered. MidNIGHT? Buzzing. And I write best at night too. But I can't stay awake too long, because I can't sleep in very long because I have things to do -.-
one of the reasons I want to become an author? so I can choose my own sleep pattern :P
Taia: *laughs* That's it. :P
(Not to mention that when I DO almost get to sleep, my brain's like "Woah, you expect me to breathe FOR you? I agreed to nothing of the sort - do it yourself." - For which I'm going to blame summer in general :P )
Choosing my own sleep patterns would be nice - I'm with you on that one. :P
Flora: Hahaha EXACTLY :P
Goddammit, why can't I just sleep through the day?? :P
Taia: Ha, that would be SO much nicer.
And I would be expected to, like, TALK with people much less often, unless they particularly want to join me at two in the morning. Social awkwardness problem SOLVED (or, at the very least, avoided). :P
Flora: I never even considered that, but omg yes.
I could get up at, like, 8pm, and have 'breakfast'. If anybody wanted to talk to me, then they'd have to book an appointment between 8pm and 9pm, cos after then I'd watch a couple of things (most of the things I watch are on at 9pm-1am). Then, I'd have 'lunch' about 1am, and start work after that. 'Dinner' would be about 7am/8am, then I'd go to bed about 11am/noon. I'd have another appointment based talking session between 9am/10am too.
omg, genuinely cannot wait for this (if I ever become an author)
Taia: Omgg, Flora you're a genius. Best daily schedule ever.
You don't mind if I borrow that, if I ever come into authorhood too, do you? It's just so perfect. C:
Flora: Go ahead! Don't mind at all!
omg and, like, I would enjoy my work, because it would be writing stories, so my life would just be brilliant.
Granted, I couldn't live with anyone because I'm pretty sure they'd kill me after the third day of this, but STILL
Taia: LOL, that's a fair point, but who needs people off-schedule anyway? :P
I need this way of life in my future. :P
Next time one of those 'careers advisors' asks what I plan to do with my life, I will have an answer. xD
"What do you plan to do when you leave school?"
"Live alone, become nocturnal and write weird fiction."
"... Okay. Did you have any other plans in mind, at all?"
"Nope." :P
Flora: Ooo, and bake cookies in our spare time! Cos...y'know...brain food for writing, or something...
THEY'RE NEEDED, okay?
:P
Taia: Absolutely! :)
And maybe save a little time to stalk Derek and/or for art-ness. :P
Flora: Definitely! And we'd obvs have to save sometime for Blogland and everyone.
And reading - cos an author gotta read.
omg, like, SERIOUSLY, I need this to happen right now.
Taia: Naturally. :)
*Nods* I swear, if this happens, my life will be complete. :P
Flora: Ditto. This needs to happen. Why can't life always be like that? It would just make so much more sense. I hate how we have to stick by the social construction of 'day' and 'life', and can't just live how we want to, i.e. like the above.
RIGHT, LET'S STAGE A REVOLUTION.
Sorted.
Taia: That is so true. I WILL SUPPORT THIS REVOLUTION.
Flora: WE WILL CREATE A NEW WORLD OF FREEDOM, WHEREBY YOU CAN CHOSE YOUR OWN SLEEP PATTERN AND BE AS SOCIALLY AWKWARD AS YOU WANT.
HERE HERE!
I'm fine thanks Rhydian. ^^
Oh right. That's how it all started. It all makes sense now! :D

I HEREBY DEDICATE THIS PAGE TO THE REVOLUTION!!
And also to music and Blogland and writing and ideas and Batman and randomness because that's all awesome. :3
And thanking people for their kindnesses and whatnot, because that gives me the opportunity to so say Thanks, Dragona! :)
And to making people feel welcome - Welcome back Star! :)
And also to showers!
And, finally, I dedicate to dedicating to whatever appears in the comments as you're writing a dedication. *nods*
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, and I also dedicate to hugging Fabi.
*hugs*
In fact, to hugging everybody who'll accept hugs, and handing the rest of them cookies.
*does so :P*
#ChaseForBook9

#chaseforbook9
(Sorry, I poofed again, went to dry my hair, because I apparently had a shower at the same time as Flora did. O_O)
I was walking around whilst drying it and I think I blew some of my coloured string into various corners of my room . . . :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Just for people who don't know:
http://masseffectfanfiction.blogspot.co.uk
It's a fanfic story based on one of my favourite video game series. You don't have to know anything about it because I've explained anything and you can always ask questions.
I'd just appreciate feedback on it since it's new and I'd like to know what people think.
Bye Rhydian [hugs]
[hugs everyone who doesn't run away from hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
And I will put warnings before each of the parts saying what they contain. Because some of the stories will contain foul language, gore and other things...
*hugs back*
Thanks, Fabi. :)
Thanks Flora, Rhydian, Dragona! :)
*is suddenly tacklehugged* Yeah, that's cool too. :D *hugs back*
Bye Rhydian! *waves*
@Star: O.O
...
INTERCONNECTED SHOWERHOOD. :P
#ChaseForBook9
OMG.
THAT'S BRILLIANT, TAIA!
INTERCONNECTED SHOWERHOOD!! :P
#chaseforbook9
got to go, bye
Gtg, sorry, !63b
#ChaseForBook9
God, I have so many different songs in my head right now.
One second, it's like:
"Where are we living now, where are we living now?
Where are we living now, where are we living now?"
And the next it's like:
"Everybody wants
Prosthetic foreheads on their real head~"
And then it's like:
"HOORAY FOR THE MADNESS-"
And then it goes:
"SPIDAH."
(Which are all totally normal lyrics, btw. :P)
#ChaseForBook9
I'm watching Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance.
*heads
Aw, bye Fabi! *hugs* Bye Dalek!
@Flora: *laughs* Thanks. :3
@Dragona: Awesome. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Ahhh, have to disappear now - dinner!
May be back later!
Bye m'lovlies!
#chaseforbook9
*waves hesitantly* I'm sort of here...
#ChaseForBook9
I have to go now. Bye!
Please, if any of you have time please look at my story:
http://masseffectfanfiction.blogspot.co.uk
Sort of back...
As in I finished lunch, but my Internet is still wonky.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Fabi! That's perfect, becauase I'm sort of here! *sort of hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry I poofed. Got distracted by string art, because I stopped listening to music, and I was looking up at the end of every song, plus I went to read Dragona's fanfic.
Hi everyone who arrived, fours those who left!
#ChaseForBookNine
This makes me wish their were posters, and I believe I'm practically a stranger now since I haven't gotten on here
[sort of hugs back]
Sort of hi, then!

HELLO WILLOW VON STRATTON. LONG TIME NO SEE.
HELLO STAR. SHORT TIME NO SEE.

FABI, MY LM PLAYLIST IS 1 HOUR AND 11 MINUTES LONG! ONE ONE ONE! :) :) :)
(Sorry, just noticed it . . .)

It is long time no see. And somewhat awkward
HEY WILLOW! :)
@Fabi: *laughs* *hugs* :)

Hello Star!

Hey, Willow! I remember you.

#ChaseForBook9
Hi Willow! Good to see you. :)
No worries, Star! :)
Bye, Dragona! *hands a cookie, waves*
Bye Flora! *hugs*
Hi Aretha! *hugs*
Welcome-back-ish, Fabi!
(I don't know why I can't just reply to comments in the order in which they happen. You'd have thought it'd be so much easier :P )
Mbd / May post random lyrics
#ChaseForBook9
So this chocolate is for me? *gives hug back*
You all stare, but you'll never see
There's something inside me . . .
*shivers* I always see that line as being from the perspective of the ground. There are all these people staring at the ground, but they don't see that there's a woman buried under there and she's dying and they don't see her and argh . . . *is almost crying*

It's a scary song. But it's also a brillaint song. And the perception there is incredible.
I didn't catch that when I was listening earlier, but... Wow.
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: I LIKE RANDOM LYRICS< THEY'RE COOL TO READ. :)
And, I rarely reply in order either. Not even on emails, which can be confusing, when it's an hour of typing and you have to look back at the one they replied to to find out what they're talking about. I do make an effort to stay in order, then, so often I write it out of order and go back and forth, and I've totally wandered off the track, the path, THE PATH IS WALK IS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, and um, yeah. :P
It's great to have you back, Willow! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I'll just stand back, I am lost
Yeah, Willow, my nickname is Ari. :) Distant, by the way.
#ChaseForBook9
Direction *looks up*
I'm listening.
#ChaseForBook9
WILLOW HI *hugs*
*hugs Mara, and hands her a cookie*
Hey, only nothing is worth nothing.
And even nothing can mean, show and say a lot, really.
're you okay? :/
#CHaseForBook9
Mara, you ok? *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Hi mara! Oh ya, Ari, I suck and remembering names. Random question. How liberal would you say you guys are?
@Willow: Don't worry - there's not much of a structured conversation going on, here. :P
#CHaseForBook9
*hugs Taia* Thank you. :)
Why are you always so nice?
I keep watching you to spot the time when you'll be not nice, because nobody is flawless, and everybody has flaws, but I can't find your flaws and it bugs me to hell. :P
*hugs Maraness* Nothing is for nothing. People will have learnt stuff from it. They'll take this experience away with them and make something out of it. Whether what they'll make will be bad or good was never defined, but everything happens for a reason, and if the bad didn't happen, the goodness that came because of it also would not happen.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Willow: *tilts head* That's an interesting question. ...Liberal in what sense? :)
#ChaseForBook9
Willow, I don't even know what liberal means. Literally. I mean, I know it's something to do with political parties, but I really don't follow politics, and I'm generally against the idea of political parties as a whole.
#ChaseForBook9
liberal as in anything. I ask this question cause i have a boyfriend who is older then me, so I get stares, and outof curiosity I wonder how liberal you guys are.
@Mara: *laughs* Sorry.
You know, that quote (THE PATH I WALK IS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION) really messes with my head and I run in circles trying to solve it, because how can there be a right direction and a wrong direction when there is only one direction? *frowns*
#ChaseForBookNine
Liberal Ari also means how accepting are you of others?
Star- now that I know you're looking for flaws, what do you think mine are? Just curious- you don't have to answer, and I promise I won't take offense to anything you say.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh! Well, as far as accepting others- I'll accept anything. I mean, if you kill people for fun, I might take up issue with that, or if you beat people or steal things in a malicious way, but otherwise, I'm fine with everybody! All sorts of styles, genders, appearances, tastes, sports, hobbies, likes, dislikes, whether you're independent or follow what everybody else does- I just really don't care. I am for people being exactly who they are, and nothing else. Not like I would be one to judge, anyway- I fall in love with fictional characters and wear a cloak to school when it rains. :)

lib·er·al
/ˈlib(ə)rəl/
Adjective
Open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.
Noun
A person of liberal views.
Synonyms
generous - bounteous - lavish - bountiful - free
I'm pretty damn liberal. No one can be 100% liberal, but I try my very hardest. :)
I mean, I write a massive speech including quotations every time someone implies murderers aren't good people. XD
Stares?
YOU ALL STARE BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE, THERE'S SOMETHING INSIDE ME.
Well, let them stare. Those who mind, don't matter, and those hwo matter, don't mind. Biodiversity is variation within a species and biodiversity is essential to survival of a species, so it's good to vary from the rest of your species and be different.
I think almost every teenage girl on the planet fangirls over people who are older than them. THAT'S perfectly mainstream, sooooo.
(Notice my use of the word 'mainstream.' It is one of my favourite words, beacuse it's all blue and streamy PLUS I can't use the word 'normal' because normal doesn't exist, so mainstream is a good substitute and mainstream DOES exist. Majorities exist. :))
#ChaseForBookNine
A cloak? Then you'd automatically be my riend at school, lol. I dn't wear cloaks, but good style. Just asking since people give me and my boyfriend stares, won't say his age exactly, but he's older then Derek Landy, that much I'll say!
*hugs Taia back*
If Directioners could have just stopped to think for a minute, there wouldn't be any Fandom World Wars. -.-
Friendships were broken. People were hurt. Just because Directioners are absolute idiots and don't take no for an answer.
And now there's Fandom World War III coming up, and Directioners play a huge role in that too.
Basically the Beliebers are annoyed at us for breaking the VEVO record with Best Song Ever (we got 10 million + views on it for the boys' anniversary) and they want to beat our record with Justin Bieber's new song Heartbreaker. Which is fine, but they're getting lots of fandoms to start hating the Directioners and joining the Beliebers side.
- Directioners
- Mixers
- Swifties
- Brats
-Sheerios
- 5SOS Family
VS
- Beliebers
- Selenators
- Smilers
- Arianators
- Janoskinators
- Lovatics
- The Wanted Fanmily (of course 😒)
Ugh. It's immature and stupid and makes me wish I wasn't part of a fandom.
But I will say this;
We may be
The rudest fandom
The boldest fandom
The sassist fandom
But when Niall Horan tells us to break a record
We fucking break it.

#ChaseForBook9
@Star: I'm not always nice.
*throws a marshmallow at a passing hippopotamus*
See?
I have plenty of flaws - I just try embrace them like one would embrace advantages.
Sometimes I fail both miserably, but, I don't know.
(I feel like I need to list my flaws, now, to confirm that they're there. :P)
*hugs back* Thank you for saying that. It means a lot to me that you think that, and moreso that you can say it to me. That absolutely didn't almost bring tears to my eyes, Star. :P *hugs again* :)
For the record, though, I don't think I've ever caught YOU being un-nice, or unfriendly.
Maybe I get it from you? ;)
#ChaseForBook9
* to prove that they're there, and confirm what they are
@Willow: Hm. Give me a second, and I'll think about it. For the most part, I try to be as liberal as I can, in a sense of accepting others, and their opinions and beliefs and I'll almost certainly ramble about this so I may try to focus by starting a new comment. :P
#CHaseForBook9
As far as getting stares- I'm quite used to them. Very, very, very used to stares. My school is really conformist, and as I said above, I wear a cloak. That's weird. And I just have an odd style in general. My hair is short and spiky, and my sense of fashion is really mercurial- I go from antique gothic to nerdy to summary all within the week, and I never pick my clothes according to the weather, so sometimes I wear sweaters in the summer and shorts and spaghetti straps in the winter. I like to dance in the rain when everybody else is inside. My backpack is a US Mail bag from the 1940s. I'm way more attracted to books than people (in terms of physical appearance, I know it's odd), and I'm always balancing on one leg, even when I sit down (and I always prefer to sit on the arm of a chair). That's just a few of the things I get weird stares for. I was actually bullied pretty intensely in 8th grade- people threw stuff at me occasionally, yelled names and occasional swears at me all the time, but I truly and honestly never cared. And I think that's also sort of weird. And lucky. And my taste in music is also really mercurial. I like classical, rock, alternative, metal, victoriandustrial, and progressive symphonic metal. And this is turning into a rant, so I'm going to stop now. :)
#ChaseForBook9
As far as age- my parents are 22 years apart. I have no concept of age difference. :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Ari: I don't want to ever tell anyone their flaws . . . *winces*
So nobody else ask me what their flaws are if I can spot them, because I will not answer. :)
(Unless I change my mind, that is.)
. . . You see, if I start describing, I will have more flaws for some than for others, and I don't want to do that.
Also . . . I'm sort of scared of telling people. I don't really like telling my friends that's they're not awesome in this way or that way. Which is part of one of my personal flaws. :)
But I often look out for flaws in people. I try and find the flaws and the good stuff and how it's related and unique. I'm a very analytical person. :P
(This is partially why I'm scared of people judging me. Not people I dislike, people I like. Because I know what I would be thinking, and I think a lot.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Ok, Taia. Well Ari in my book you're not weird. In fact when you think about it normal doesn't even exist, no one is the same, therefore everyone is weird and not normal. And my relationship is a greater gap then that
That's fine, Star, although I do promise never to think any less of you or myself if you do tell me my flaws. :)
And I'm tempted to go on a rant about how much I think and how that's weird, too, but I've already done too many of those today, and I don't think you guys just want to hear me prattling on and on about my weirdness.
#ChaseForBook9
I myself have different behaviors then most people would deem "weird"
You're not weird Ari, as I said in the comment before
Yeah, I understand that normal doesn't really exist, but I'm really super incredibly weird by my school's standards, and I understand that I'm just generally unusual. But I like that about myself. Most people think of 'weird' 'odd' and 'quirky' as negative words, but I think of them in positive terms.
About your age difference- that's still cool with me. As I said, I have no concept of the thing. :)
#ChaseForBook9
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
It's you
They add up to...
Thought that was fitting to Star's comment up there...
#ChaseForBook9
Well that's good. I myself do things mostly by night, so I have this nocturnal pattern, if that's what you want to call it
@Ari: YOU SOUND SO ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. :)
@Taia: LOL, I have tons of flaws. :)
And I am very nice, I will admit that. Because nicety is one of my fatal flaws and I'm TOO nice and I wouldn't have shot Lennie even if I KNEW it would be best to shoot Lennie, and more suffering would have come about because of it, and I've been in I-should-shoot-Lennie situations before and I have not been a Geogre. (Sorry, it's my best metaphor for the occasion.)
So I am nice, but I'm like the worst friend ever, so that's sort of unfriendly, and I have been pretty damn mean to friends before. :P
But thanks. :)
And, yes, I shall accept your thanks, because people deserve thank yous when they be honest and tell the truth. XD
*picks up the marshmallow from where it bounced off the hippotamus onto the flaw and eats it* BUT GIVING BUBBLES MARSHMELLOWS IS NICE! :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Mara: That goes for every fandom, not just Directioners.
(O.O - I didn't even recognise half of those fandom names.)
There'll probably always be disputes between groups of people, because you believe in what you do so strongly, and it's it's beautiful but everything has its flaws.
But you don't have to be a part of the quarreling. I'd say you're an even better fan if you don't partake in that fighting, and maybe share with others why not and what you've said there, effectively.
The fact that you disagree is amaZayn and I only wish everybody in each of the other fandoms could see that.
#CHaseFOrBook9
I get stared at a lot, too.
A.A.A. [Shrugs]
Art
Attracts
Attention.
Basically, it's hard to be inconspicuous when you bring an inkle loom to dress rehearsal as your something to do when you're not on stage. Most of the others bring phones or iPads, a few have books. I've got an inkle loom. XD
That's why I love my friends at dance, is because they think I'm weird and don't have a problem with it.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm pretty sure my body only needs 6 hours of sleep, because if I fall asleep at midnight I wake up naturally at 6am. I'm usually up till, like, 2, though.
#ChaseForBook9
Thanks, Star! *hugs* I think you're really really awesome, too! Actually, I just realized that you guys didn't know any of that, since we can only talk on here... 0.0 Weird...
#ChaseForBook9
Star is right. You actually describe how most of my friends are, which is cool, but strange at the same time
@Maraness: YOU ARE SO RIGHT. :O
*hugs*
I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT AND SUNG THAT. :P
Btw, did you see? MY LM PLAYLIST IS 1 HOUR AND 11 MINUTES LONG. ONE ONE ONE. *nods very proudly, like I planned it that way instead of just happening to notice it*
And one and one and one add up to threeeeee. :)
@Ari: I'm more . . . *hesitates* MAINSTREAM (mwahahaha, it's such an awesome word. Fuck normal) than you, which I don't mean as an insult, it's a compliment, just making that clear. Whenever someone calls me weird, whether they mean it in a bad way, it affects me like a compliment and makes me feel happier because I WANT to be weird. :)
So yay. :)
@Willow: Don't stress about it. *shrugs*
Derek was saying at Leeds about Valduggery, because someone asked his opinion on it. And he pointed out the age difference, then said he didn't have a problem with that, because that was essentially what every vampire romance book was about. And he's right. Half the books for our age range are romance books with a large age difference between the romancees, which is now a word coz I say it is.
#ChaseForBookNine
Fabi- that is awesome! I'm assuming inkle looms are really cool, even though I've never seen one! Which is part of why they're so cool!
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs Mara because Pretend It's OK just came on shuffle and LITTLE MIX]
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, yeah, and I should mention that most everybody on here ships me with a guy 513 years older than me...
#ChaseForBook9
That is true, their are always huge age gaps. My age gap is 35 years, like clint eastwood and his wife. huh? 513 years older?
They are cool! You can't really make cloth with them, just bookmarks, belts, stuff like that, but I really like warp-faced weaving. Also they don't take as long to set up and don't have lots of little parts to keep track of. Just the loom and the shuttle, of course.
[Realizes that probably doesn't mean anything go you]
[shrugs]
[hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Well, I mean, technically he's fictional, but I've never had a crush on a non-fictional person anyway, and I'm already hopelessly in love with a fictional character, so. I don't think it really matters. *laughs at self* Ohmygosh, I must be really liberal... I don't even judge people for being fictional! *laughs a little more in real life*
#ChaseForBook9
Ari, are you meaning Skulduggery? Or someone else? And no Taia I don't hurt people, and think that people who murder for pleasure seriously need help
I actually think I understood, like 95% of that, Fabi. And it's so cool that you do weaving!
#ChaseForBook9
No, not Skulduggery. One of my OCs. *winces horribly at that expression and is immediately tempted to delete it because he really isn't my character any more than I am his* *and yes, I did just say that I am his character* *it's complicated*
#ChaseForBook9
It's cool Ari, I don't mind if you fall in love with fictional characters, besides, I think we all do at some point or another
No but it's actually really bad- like, I've been hopelessly in love with this character for 3 years now- that's not even an exaggeration- and I can't even count how many nights I've spent crying over the fact that we don't exist in the same way... Nevermind the fact that even if he wasn't fictional he would never have a relationship...
#ChaseForBook9
It'll be ok Aretha! *hugs*
I am the character an apparent majority of the people on this blog ship with Aretha. Forgive me, but I cannot recall whether we have previously met, Willow.
#ChaseForBook9
SHIT. *facepalm*
I'm so sorry, Maraness! It's been really hard to keep up with all the replies being detailedness . . . I wasn't ignoring you. :(
Well, sometimes, people=shit. There will never stop being badness in fandoms, beacuse fandoms are made up of people, and there is badness in people. However, there will also never stop being goodness in fandoms, beacuse there is also goodness in people. In The Immortals, I can't remember which book, Ever (the protagonist) tried to bind this person to her using dark magic so she could get something she wanted off them. However, she did it wrong, and she accidentally bound herself to him. She stressed and stressed and stressed over it, and her mental health plummetted and her physical health wasn't doing too good either. She kept walking to the person's house in the middle of the night, and she couldn't talk to anyone about it beacuse the spell wouldn't allow her. And she ried all this stuff but nothing would work, and everything just kept getting worse. And she was just in such a mess, and it was horrible and depressing, so naturally it was my favourite book of the series.
And then she did another spell, and it sort of went right, and she was so happy. She began getting her life back on track, she could speak to people about it again, and everything was going right. She thought she's got rid of her problem.
But then, when she went near the person she'd bound herself to, the monster rose again and she realised with horror that she hadn't actually solved the problem.
And everything went back to the downward spiral.
And at the end of the book, she finally manages to ask someone to help her out. And the person, who's pretty wise and all that, said that all she had to do was fill herself with positive energy. That it wasn't the magic that was putting her in a state, it was the negative thoughts and energy. That because she worried and stressed and obsessed over it, that made it get worse. And the said that when she'd done the spell that she thought had healed herself, it mostly worked beacuse she stopped thinking and worrying, and the fact she wasn't pouring negative energy into it helped her get better.
And then she worked on just being postive, and she was cured.
My point is, Maraness . . . Don't stress. It's bad for you. If you be happy and think happy thoughts, it'll help you out. :)
This is only half-relevant, but we were all sat watching Wolf Blood on BBC3 yesterday, because we're apparently started watching it on BBC3 every Tuesday, and my mum (who was the Senior Youth Advisor for Holderness until she quit her job just this month. She really knows her stuff) was pointing out how they'd worked all these anger-management tips into it, and that they worked for humans too, not just wolves (she meant wolf bloods, not wolves. :P)
So, one of my mum's tips for feeling good, something you can do instead of cutting - excercise. Jump on your bike, go swimming. It's a release and clears your mind.
One of my own tips for feeling better - make something for someone. It makes me feel so happy when I give someone a drawing or somehting, because they always tell me how awesome I am and it's just so awesome. So I kind of draw stuff for people just beacuse I like the reactions and the feelgoodness, which is kind of utterly and totally sleifsh, but MEH. I stopped drawing for people though, beacuse I couldn't be bothered, so ummmm. :P
(Yup, I'm really so nice, Taia. XD)
And . . . I'm just been rambling from subject to subject and have sort of lost the plot, if I ever had it, so um . . . yeah.
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, so it's you they talk about. Hm, your name seems familiar, but I can't put a finger on it
And I'm only super obsessed with people who are either fictional or long dead... It's a little depresssing... Oh well. *shrugs* I can't really do anything about it.
#ChaseForBook9
Goddamnit.
Did my comment poof only for me?
*grumbles*
@Willow: Provided help is actually help, and whoever's helping them still respects them, and can see and believe that they're not all bad, yeah. :)
It's a difficult topic, and something I'm very prone to ranting about. So I'll just try not to. :P
But if the problem is how people see you or a situation that you're in, then it doesn't matter, because they're not you. We're all different, and sometimes people just fail to realise that. But you're you, and you're perfect, because if you weren't perfect then you wouldn't be you.
I think I'm a little behind on the conversation, now, so I'm gonna stop and read up. :P
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs Ari]
(Wbvd, composing/recording)
#ChaseForBook9
You're not the only one Ari! And you make sense Taia, but I have to go now, so bye and ttyl!
Bye Willow!
#ChaseForBook9
@Fabi: YOUR WEAVING SOUNDS SO TOTAL COOLNESS. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
Goodbye, Willow. I shall leave now, as well, so that Aretha may resume her multitasking.
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Willow! [waves]
#ChaseForBook9
Thanks Star [hugs]
It's really fun. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
Hellooo, back kinda :)
#chaseforbook9
Bye Willow! It was good to see you! :)
Ugh. My brain can't take in all of these comments at once. So I'm gonna not read any of them and hope nobody takes offence. Sorry. I'm lazy, okay? :P
But *hugs everybody*
You all rule. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Hey, can I bother anybody who ships Nikola Tesla to ask why they ship it? I'm just kind of curious.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Flora!
#ChaseForBook9
Oh my God... Rhy... Rhy was... Rhy was here... *Starts crying*
:( FOURS WILLOW!
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello Flora
Ari, I honestly don't know. Probably a coincidence.
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs Taia]
Okay...
[hugs Death]
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Death* Yeah, he was here. *hugs again*
#ChaseForBook9
HEY DEATH!
*hugs* He was. :)
@Ari: Because you're awesome, he's awesome, you're like the only one he cares about, you care about him a lot and look out for him (and remind me of Ez with Hunter), you know each otehr very well and it's very sweet. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Do you ship Hunter and Ez, Star? Because I ship that really hard!
#ChaseForBook9
Damn.. I knew I shouldn't have slept in....
Oh, but @Star (and I'm allowed to reply to this one because I read it before writing the comment that then went and disappeared because Blogger is a smug little blergharerf sometimes and does that. :P): I LOVE the Of Mice and Men reference - And I have to say you're not alone in that. I couldn't ever shoot a person, and metaphorically speaking, I'm not much better.
In IRL though, I can just flip sometimes and hurt people because my mind and my mouth aren't quite connected as they should be, and I hate that because hurting people is the last thing that I ever want to do, even if I know that it could help them out, in one way or another.
*grins*
BUT I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE MARSHMALLOW.
YOU TOOK IT.
:P
Also, did I ever mention that I have a friend who's nickname has been Bubbles for more years than I've known her?
You're both awesome, and you're both Bubbles. :3
I just think that's really cool. :P
#ChaseForBook9
I SHIP JOHN ADAMS WITH HIS WIFE ABIGAIL SO, SO HARD!!!!!! *squeals* *is watching John Adams on laptop* It's a really good movie! 0.0
#ChaseForBook9
I'm msd... The wifi may get turned off :/
#ChaseForBook9
Woah. I jumped from a negative to a positive there very suddenly. Oops. I probably should've segued into that somehow. Oh well. Now I know that.
I'll just pretend I put something along the lines of "Maybe that's a good think and maybe that's a bad thing and I don't know so just meh.", because that's probably the overall sense of what I just said, even though I don't even remember.
*hugs Fabi back*
*hugs Death*
WARNING: I may miss comments so please don't take offence if I seem to be ignoring you - I'm not. My brain is just going into screensaver mode and I can't help it. Sorry. :P
#ChaseForBook9
[Nods]
I'm not really in a shipping mood just now.
I'm in a really weird mood.
And I might go soon, possibly without warning.
Okay Mara [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: THAT ISN'T REALLY COOL. THAT'S REALLY REALLY COOL. :)
And thanks. :)
And, Taia - YOU'RE AN ATOMI BOMB! *screams*
Sorry, it's just my friend invented this long metaphor, and she's an atomic bomb. And there are lots of sparks, which set off the atomic bomb. And I am water, because I dampen the sparks and stop the atomic bomb going off. I'm her cure, apparently.
And she asks me all these questions like "Woulnd't it be better if the atomic bomb didn't exist, seeing as all it does in tis life is explode and cause lots of suffering?" and "Should atomic bombs just isolate themselves adn stay away from people so they don't hurt them?" and "Is it the atomic bomb's fault they explode?" and "How can the atomic bomb stop itself exploding?" and I'm trying to think of a way in which atomic bombs are good, beacuse my friend is one of the most awesome people in the entire world and there's much more to her than explosions.
So, Taia, when I say you're like an atomic bomb, what I really mean is, you're like my irl (you actually rmeind me of her seomtimes), and she's awesome, so YAY. :)
My friend also says she's a lone wolf, incidentally. And she asks me if the lone wolf was always alone, or if it used to have a pack. And she asks whether it would be good if it found a pack or not, and how it would find a pack. And we're having an email converstaions pondering this about bubbles and wolves, like she asked didn't I pop when I accepted points, and what if points were double sided, how would I stop myself from popping, and she also said that wolves hunted their threats so she was drawn to bad things. And I really need to reply to her. D:
#CahseForBookNine
WHY DO I SUBJECT MYSELF TO THIS
I'M JUST GOING TO LOVE EVEN MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAD
DARN IT I'M GOING TO CRY
#ChaseForBook9
Wolves are actually very social creatures who always travel in packs, so lone wolves are an incredibly extreme rarity if you can find any at all.
#ChaseForBook9
I should probably be going now... [waves]
#ChaseForBook9
Bye, then, Fabi! *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Oh my gosh, so many typos. *facepalm*
And, Taia, I don't have a reply to the fact you couldn't shoot him. Because whatever I say also applies to myself, and so I can't start talking about how it's good because then I'm defeating my poinT I was making about nicenss being a bad thing, and I can't hardly start talking about how it's bad because it's kind of insulting to you. :P
So my opinons will stay in my head.
And, Ari . . . If they weren't my characters, I would really ship it, but as it is, I'm inside their heads, and it just doesn't work like that. Maybe I'll change my mind. The whole thing changes so much. It changes constantly. If I told you about what it started off like, and what it was at this point, and tons of stuff . . . well, I'm not 100% sure what you'd all do, but I'm just like WOAH WHAT. It's constantly shifting. :P
I like people shipping it, though. *laughs*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Ari: We know. Wolves are meant to travel in packs, but she isn't in a pack, and we discuss that a lot when we have our long metaphorical conversations which annoy our other friends to death. :P
:( FOURS FABI!
#ChaseForBookNine
Niccolò and I had a really weird starting off relationship. I can't say whether or not it's anything like Hunter and Ez at all, but yeah. It's mostly just because Niccolò is so unstable and mercurial, though.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* I have metaphorical conversations with my friends a lot, too. All of us have yet to come up with airtight metaphors for each other. I think that's probably because we can't, because humans are so individual and therefore no metaphor can fit any of us perfectly because we're all different.
#ChaseForBook9
Star your friend sounds so awesome. None of my irl friends have such awesome questions to ask and think about and such. (Except for maybe one who maybe comes close, in a way. She once asked if I'd prefer to have feet made out of paper or bread. I don't remember what my answer was, though. :P)
I wouldn't say there are many sparks that would set me off, but it's odd because my friends say my role is more to do with that kind of water than the exploding. I think that's interesting.
I think a friend (the same friend as above, actually) once likened me to a book, for reasons. But I guess a book has the power to completely obliterate one's thoughts and feelings and emotions, but also to bring happiness and laughter and fandoms and whatnot. So I guess there's good points and bad points within that? And is maybe different to different people who read it.
I don't know. Maybe your friend (and I) could both be books. Anyway.
Back to the atomic bomb. What about every second that the bomb doesn't go off - it's good then, simply because it's not exploding, right?. And it can make people feel safe that they have protection and defense, even if they don't want it to actually explode. I guess that's a good point about atomic bombs. Which is probably what I was trying to say the whole time.
I don't know what I am, but I exist and that's enough for me at the moment, I think. :)
Thanks. ^^
(Cycle of ramblingness over :P)
#ChaseForBook9
Will be on later...
MSD!!!
Well, Hunter's just HUNTER. He employs Ez, you know, and they met in the interview thingy, and Ez was just thinking about how he was completely insane but was trying to just go along with it beacuse she wanted the job, didn't she, and Hunter was just being as mad as he wanted because he really couldn't care what anyone thought and if people couldn't handle it then they weren't the right material anyway. :P
And then next time . . . because they have all these test thingys . . . *frowns* I've actually forgotten what the hell Hunter did to the room, but he did something to it and was pretending to be one of these people or other and just like WHAT. :P
They did do quite a lot of flirting in the interview/test thingys, incidentally. XD
(Yeah, I thought half of this out once. Almost started writing it once too.)
#ChaseForBookNine
WHY DO I READ TRAGIC THINGS
WWWWWHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY
FFS
#chaseforbook9
Maybe everybody has a role as water and as an atomic bomb.
I don't know.
It's something to think about though.
I like to think, so that's fine. :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Flora: Did I say hi? I don't think I said hi.
Hi Flora! C:

#ChaseForBook9
Please write it down! I'll read it!
Yeah, when Niccolò and I met, he was going to kill me, and the whole premise of him training me and such was so that he could kill me once I was stronger... I think you know all of this from the MC, though, don't you? XD
As far as I know (I'm really, really bad at picking up on that kind of thing) we've never flirted...
#ChaseForBook9
Also: *hugs* You okay?
What reading material be so tragic?
#ChaseForBook9
"All of us have yet to come up with airtight metaphors for each other. I think that's probably because we can't, because humans are so individual and therefore no metaphor can fit any of us perfectly because we're all different."
THANK YOU, Ari.
I'm often trying to say how I can never describe people because I can't explain the THEMness of them, as there's never been anything like them before so there's nothing to like them to corretly enough.
And, YOUR FRIENDS ALSO SOUND SO AWESOME. O_O
She is awesome. :)
I have no idea why on earth she wants to be friends with me, coz she's way aweosmer than me. :P Nobody object, because I'm lazy and can't be botehred to argue.
@Taia: Thanks. :) I'll say about that. :)
And, the books one is a good one . . . *nods thoughtfully*
"I don't know what I am, but I exist and that's enough for me at the moment, I think. :)"
starts singing*
I know, I know
I'll never be perfect**
I know, I know
But I'm gonna work it
*skips a few lines*
We are who we are who we are
Pretty's just a pretty word
And I'm gonna shine like a star
Coz I'm the only me in this world
*breaks off*
**The word perfect is an ERROR. She means FLAWLESS. :P
We are who we are who we are, and that we won't change it, so we may as well work it. I think that was vaguely linked to what you were saying. ANyway, I liked what you were saying. And, um, yeah, agreementness. :P
@Death: YAY! :)
Still @Flora: And in answer to your question, possibly for the same reason that I keep watching Hannibal. It's horrible and completely obliterates your mental capabilities and emotions, but it's just so damn good and the cannibal puns are subtly hilarious.
So, basically, maybe you read tragic things because feels and awesomeness and cannibalistic humour.
*nods*
#ChaseForBook9
Guys, whoever is in the MC, emailllll.

The cover is amazing on back as well as front! I can't wait to see what it all means!

I will be jumping up and down with anticipation for Last Stand of Dead Men! Except I will stop when I get the book, because it's hard to read while jumping up and down.
Blogger Taia DeMars, Inesculent Bean of Written Ramblings (and Dinosaur Enthusiast) said...
Maybe everybody has a role as water and as an atomic bomb.
I don't know.
It's something to think about though.

@Taia: . . . Good view. O_O
I also like thinking. :)
HEY FLORA! *hugs*
Because we want to experience things, Flora. That's why we do it. :)
@Ari: Yeah, but Ez is Ez. Or Ez was Ez. Or no, Ez wasn't Ez, but now Ez is Ez, and Ez is Ez anyway so this is irrelevant. Not sure that makes sense. But uh. Makes sense to me. :P

"All of us have yet to come up with airtight metaphors for each other. I think that's probably because we can't, because humans are so individual and therefore no metaphor can fit any of us perfectly because we're all different."
I didn't see that before, but thanks, Aretha. That's- wow. That's wondeful. Thanks. :)
I OBJECT! (But I'll do it quietly if you want, so you can pretend you didn't hear and don't have to argue. That way we both win. :P)

Agreementness indeed, Star. :)

"Because we want to experience things, Flora. That's why we do it. :)"
Okay, so that made a lot more sense than what I said.
But I still got to fit cannibalistic humour into MY explanation. Which is an achievement, considering it wasn't really relevant at all. :P

ADRAAAAAA! :)
It's like when Fabi was wearing the same clothes as her profile picturewhen she completed it! *nods*
No no no. Not why so serious. Why so Sirius! :)

#ChaseForBookNine
OH.
Did I ever tell any of you about the girl in my (second) primary school who was in either nursery or reception or not in the school yet, or maybe a bit older but I don't know but anyway, who once appeared at the school wearing a pink-princess-y-tutu-y-kind-of-dress, and a Batman mask.
IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE OF CLOTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN EVER.
#ChaseForBook9
@Star: *laughs*
And, *nods* Sirius. Okay. Got it. :3

YES THE JOKER HUGS BATMAN THAT HAPPENS A LOT THEY JSUT DON'T SHOW IT IN THE COMICS/TV SHOWS/MOVIES OKAY YES FINE. :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: I don't know...so, hi! :P
ugh, it's this really tragic story about two guys who were childhood friends and are completely destined for each other (and are together for 7 years - there is roughly a chapter a year) but, because of society and its presumptions on homosexuality, start to doubt whether they should be together. Then, one of them (Guy #1) gets a girl pregnant (there is a back story so we hate him for it, but we don't hate him) and decides to marry her because it's the correct thing to do, as he doesn't believe she should abort, and he wouldn't let her raise it on her own.
It's just....I can't bloody handle it. Because the other guy (Guy #2) was all like "okay" and "it's the right thing to do". Then, on their last night together, Guy #1 apologizes again and Guy #2 finally breaks AND IT'S JUST TOO MUCH. I CAN'T HANDLE THIS LEVEL OF FEELS.
And freaking Guy#2 has now gone missing because he wanted to cut all ties because it was just too painful.
I'm not explaining it well, but it's just a tragic and beautiful and tragic and horrible and tragic and BEAUTIFUL love story.
I just...
I can't...
@Taia (again): ...somehow, even with the cannibalism, that totally made sense.
@Star: Yeah, I agree. And I read them because I know that, yes, I will cry, and yes, I will hate the author and the story, but I'll completely fall in love with it too. Yes, it'll hurt to read it, but no, I would never give it up.

I always read things even when they hurt me, if I love the characters, and I always let characters into my heart even if they are doomed to die in the end. I never love them any less just because they are fictional, even though it tears me to pieces sometimes, because they're such amasing people, and they deserve to be loved, and they deserve to have people who will always love and support them in their darkest days, even if they don't know they're being loved. And I know I'm saying the word 'love' a lot, but I don't think I'm overusing it, because no other word will fit. I like to let myself believe that somewhere, in some other world or dimension, someone is watching and loving all of us, too, even though we don't know it. I don't remember why I wrote this, now, but I've written it, so I may as well post it.

*grabs ded rights* Mine! I want them!

*stiffens* Batman doesn't like the Joker...
Amen, Aretha. I hate it when people laugh or say "wow that's weird" when I tell them about the books and things that I get emotional about. No, it's not that I cry a lot, but more of I see myself in a character, and it makes me sad.
And then there is Augustus Waters but let's not go there
*eyes the ded rights*
*takes a cautious step away*
If I get hold of them, I'll just use them for something dumb.
Like Harrison Ford based pseudonyms and space cats.
@Aretha: That's a pretty wonderful representation of not just why we continue reading, but maybe why we continue doing a lot of things.
Thanks for that. :)

I'm a free bat.

Hiiii.
I thought of another idea. [Facepalm]
I should probably do something with one of the ones I already started, huh?
Um... If you haven't seen it already, would you mind looking at my Shunting Experiment blog? It's a collab idea... And if you're busy or don't want to, that's ok.

Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around
No one in the world
Ever gets what they want
And that is beautiful
Everybody dies
Frustrated and sad
And that is beautiful
They want what they're not
And I wish they would stop
Saying Deputy Dawg dog a ding dang depadepa
Deputy Dawg dog a ding dang depadepa
Sorry for random lyrics-ing, but...
That verse. IDK.
