With Desolation only a few days away, I am still hard at work on the third and final Demon Road book.
From the beginning, I wanted these books to be as streamlined as possible — I wanted them short and punchy. Now, I completely failed with Demon Road, as it was a pretty big book, and only got slightly better with Desolation, which is shorter, but it looks like I'm finally getting the hang of this with Book 3, which will hopefully be the perfect length.
And the title?

HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY JACK!!!
Mine's tomorrow! So many, so close to each other!
Happy blogversary, Sil and Edward!
And to you too, Dugglyn!
Thank you!
I mean technically, it actually might be today because it was a little later than this and so blog time says May 7th but here it's still the 6th.
Happy bloggerversary to you too, Ed
Sil, if you are here, care to meet me on Mc?
Alright
Wanna know what I just love?
Being ignored.
There is this girl at my school, Sarah, whom I have been very kind to always, and whom I always offer my support and advice. She just never returns it. She is so cruel, sometimes. I sit behind her in one of my classes, and see her typing an email to another girl- she is saying how terrified she was to be put in a group with two girls in the class who are fairly unpopular- and I just know that she has said the same things about me as well.
And it's just
I graduate in two weeks. Can no one be genuine?
And, you know, I would say the highlight of our day was when my principal came into my Christian Lifestyles class and was just in general talking about relationships- he told us his story, and his experience with love and things, and he took questions (one of the principal's daughters is in our graduating class). It was so nice, and e was so insightful. Going to an all-girls school can make it difficult to find a male opinion, and so he was very helpful.
Our current unit in the class is violence against women, so we are doing a lot of studying on abuse, date rape, acquaintance rape, societal norms, gender standards, et cetera. And, you know, I think that is part of why this class is really therapeutic for me. It's basically a class on Women's Issues. We talk about shit that women actually have to deal with. We talk about how our opinions get shot down, we talk about the fear that we all have for being in college (universities are inherently more dangerous), we talk about the fear we have of being taken advantage of or discriminated against.
We get to talk about ourselves, and what we experience, and we get to find solidarity in knowing that, hey- this girl in class has been raped too, or hey, this girl has had abusive parents too, or hey, this girl has been harassed too.
*Shrug*
So it was nice
Saw Civil War
Was awesome!!
I get home and I get asked how was the movie where'd I eat and you know I'm getting settled putting pj's on ect. I come out to talk more my dad yells at me to be quiet then I realize oh okay tv show. I think it's live until my dad is fastforwarding commercials so I know its recorded. Mom makes me my lunch for tomorrow (going on a trip not my choice) and I come back (10-15min after the first incident) I try to speak to my mom and I get snapped at by my dad to shut up. My mom says that I'm only trying to talk to her so my dad makes the comment oh fine I'll stop the tv so you can speak but he does itin a nasty tone. So I'm like no dont bother I would never dare interupt the recorded tv show its so imparative that you watch it instead of converse. So he snaps will you'd be pissed and I said well if its recorded I can pause it. Live tv I can't, I'm sorry I burdened you that you possibly would need to pause
I'm a bit insulted because I can easily chat with you and you pause the tv thats what you do if you dont see someone for a while you talk and he hasnt seen me since 5am.....So I wanted to talk but apparently tv is too important
(I wouldn't worry about that girl Noelle.. Some people are just like that
There was a guy in my year in school, trouble maker
I was nothing but myself to him but he always seemed to have a special hatred for me
Like... When we went on a skiing trip in Vermont, we all went bowling and we were having a competition, so we had to be in groups
My group were a person down so the girls who were supposed to e my friends on the trip asked this boy
He agreed until he saw I was on the team and then he was like 'you... I'm not being on this team now'
But he had no choice to be in our team)
(@Noelle I'll try come on some time tonight after I've *hopefully* got some revision done for French.
Also @Noelle don't worry about the girl, unfortunately there'll always be someone who isn't interested in being friends :/)
Eh . . . personally I'd much rather know if people don't like me. It hurts, but at least you know where you are. I hate it when you can't work out whether people actually like you because they say they like you but you know they'Re often nice to people's faces abd then bitch behind their backs . . . I really admire people who let you know that you irritate them and don't try to hide it, and often I really wish I had the courage to always do that myself . . . but at the same time, I hate myself when I'm unable to hide my lack of enthusiasm for people's presence and I really wish I was nice enough to, like, be nice, instead of making them feel unwanted . . .
Idk man. Social interaction is difficult. :/
One of these days (after exams :P) I'm going to sit here and have a really big think about feminism and do research and things and work out all my opinions and my reasons for them and then come online and explain it all in a really thought-out PC polite manner and maybe have a bit of polite intelligent discussion about it afterwards.
However, that day is not today.
*rolls off sofa to go and revise*
(*finds a travelling altar that would be great for uni*
*too expensive*
*sighs*)
(Jesus
I told y parents about the altar I want for uni
They said no, so I said not to worry cause I'll be able to make my own anyways
Then dad proceeded to say not to take one to uni, because people will think I'm a nutter as steer clear from me and I need to make as many friends as possible to get on
And i said I don't give two tosses and that if people don't accept it then I don't want to be friends with them
But he then said that k should care what people think and not tell them I'm Wicca and Ito witch craft..
I just... *pulls my hair*)
Eh. Tbh I really don't think most people will care much about you being Wiccan. They might think your beliefs are stupid, but most people aren't likely to steer clear of you for it in my experience . . . obviously my experience is limited to "people at my school," but . . .
If you were really desperate to make friends then maybe I'd advise being quiet and non-obvious about it (so people won't know unless the topic comes up), but if you're fine with some people may be being initially offput by it and don't want to befriend those people, don't bother.
Only you can decide what your priorities are. It's not for him to judge that making friends should be much more important to you than being Wiccan.
(I know... I'm making my own altar regardless of what he says
I'm not going to be like 'EVERYONE, I'M A WITCH!'
And plus I'm joining the pagan society.. )
@Chloe:
:)
(*hugs* )
Oh dude
There was meant to be a "*nods*" up there bit I put it in <> abd it disappeared. XD
:) *hugs back*
(Hehe awww xD
)
It's so bloody annoying. XD
Is it sunny where you are?
(It's warm but cloudy)
Ah okay.
It's really sunny here. :)
*sigh* Cat told me to make my sister get a profile picture because my sister's lack of profile picture was annoying her. So I told my sister to get one and my sister was like "No," so I said "Can I bribe you with chocolate?" and she said "Yeah." So I walked to the shop and bought her chocolate and she got a profile picture. But then my brother found out about this so he removed his profile picture in order to get me to buy him chocolate too. -_-
(UghmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
French vocab is stupid. I can't memorize it.)
@Jai: :( :( :(
Just a few more months abd it'll be over.
(My French tests is in 10 days.. And I'm not doing so well. I just can't memorize the stupid vocabulary. I mean, when people use it then tell me what it is I'm a bit better but still..)
(I might watch frozen in French with English subtitles..)
(Or not, since French isn't an option.)
(IF FRENCH IS SO IMORTANT WHY DOES ONLY ONE OF THE DVDS I OWN HAVE FRENCH AS A LANGUAGE OPTION?!?!)
I hate that gaseous ball in the sky.
@Jai: :( :(
@Fera: If it didn't exist, you wouldn't be alive to hate it.
I know. I wish we didn't need it.
maybe we won't in the future.
eh, but maybe it would be better if i wasn't here to hate it :P
Once in a month, when the moon is full
Some secret place shall ye gather.
Adore the spirit of me who is
Queen of all of the wise
And I hear you calling
Sing and dance
Feast and make love
All in my name
For mine is the spirit in ecstasy
Mine is joy on earth
And I hear you calling
Mine is the secret that opens the door
Unto the land of youth
Mine is the cup of wine, of life
Cauldron of cerridwen
And I hear you calling
I give freedom and I give peace
Reunion with those gone before.
I am the mother of all that lives.
My love is poured on the earth.
And I hear you calling
I am the beauty of the green earth
White moon among the stars.
I am the mystery of the waters.
Desire in the hearts of man
And I hear you calling
I call to soul
Arise, come to me.
For I am the heart of nature.
And I give life to the universe.
For I am she
And I hear you calling
From me all things do proceed.
To me they must return.
May your divine, innermost infinite soul
Enrapture be embraced.
And I hear you calling
Let my worship be in your heart and rejoice.
All acts of love are mine.
Let there be beauty, strength, and pleasure
All are my rites
And I hear you calling
And you who think to seek for me
Know that it avails ye not.
Unless you know the mystery
Look deep within
And I hear you calling
For the hunt
I have been with thee
Since the beginning of time.
And I am that which ye shall attain.
The end of desire
And I hear you calling
Pwetty poem...

Black
Star, thank you for be willing to listen/ learn. Even if you don't change your mind, understanding both opinions (and trying to put yourself in the other opinion's shoes) is what gives your argument value.
So, I thank you for being open
How be's yous?? How be's yous eyes??
(Heya Noelle
How is you?
I'm tired Dug)
Hello Noelle!
Ahkay Chloe!
*hugs*
(*hugs the dugs*)
Btw the next open post is
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1104475307058729066&postID=8780631861984382478&isPopup=true
Which is literally just the next post, but links are helpful!
And soy I don't know how to make it a clicky link.
(Thanks Noelle ^.^)
Welp.
It's been two years since I first commented on here. It may seem as I have left a couple times but tbh, I doubt I could ever do that. No, even when I didn't comment I was always ghosting or I always read back later. I have met so many awesome people on here and made so many amazing friends. You guys have become such a part of my life and have opened my eyes to so many new concepts and ideas. I can't image what I would have been like if I hadn't discovered this place. I love knowing I have friends across the world. I've met a few of you and video chatted with even more and even received a Christmas card!! (That made me so insanely happy, you have no idea. And I still have it next to my Skulduggery Pleasant books with the stick Elleni gave me, my tinfoil mask for the requiem ball, and a beautiful drawing of a vampire)
So thank you so much for being insanely awesome and amazing and I love you guys!
Noelle is ok

I've always called it blogversary
:) Happy blogversary to all whose it is today and I haven't said it to already. XD
@Noelle: *nods and hugs* Well . . . to me, listening and being openminded is more important than the actual opinions one holds . . . so yeah.
Thank you. :)
