First Competition Ends!

Wanna know what I did on my birthday? Do ya? Wanna know what craziness I got up to? Well, first, right, what I did was I started clearing out my office, yeah? But that was only the beginning. Then I started clearing out the kitchen. Then I got bored and played a video game. Then I went back to clearing more stuff. Then I checked the Blog. Then I cleared another room. Then I went to my parents' house for dinner, and it was yummy. Then I came home and my electricity went off. Yay!

Ahem.

Although the day BEFORE that I got to see all my nieces in their Halloween costumes (because I won't be seeing them at Halloween). Rebecca was dressed as a witch. Emily was a bumblebee. Sophie was a pig. And Clara... Clara was a skeleton, because she KNOWS who's going to be giving her the best presents when she's older. When I have pictures, I'll be sure to post them.

And what did I GET for my birthday, you ask? Well... um... okay, see, when I say it aloud, it doesn't sound that impressive, but basically I got some photographs in nice frames...

God that sounds boring.

But I really am the WORST person to buy for, as Laura was complaining to me last night. Everything I want, I pretty much have already- so what is there left to get me except really odd things that I'd never think of? See?

But some of you guys here, and at the Forum and the Facebook page, did all the celebrating for me, which was really nice of you. In particular, I'm thinking of Valkyrie V, who actually had a party with a CAKE. And Val V, I hope you don't mind, but I just HAD to post a pic of it.



I'm not really sure what Polar Bear Girl has to do with Skulduggery, but I like her style nonetheless. These guys really went out of their way to celebrate poor old Skulduggery's deathday, and they are all astonishingly sloppy eaters...


And in other news...

The Ameriminions competition is now over! I have been HUGELY impressed with your entries. They have been cool, atmospheric, creepy, action-packed, sinister, and funny- sometimes all at once! Now I have the quite enjoyable job of going through them all and picking the line that is best suited to the story I want to tell.

A HUGE congratulations to everyone who entered.

Okay, so just in general, I don't know when I'm going to leave, but it probably isn't going to be that outstandingly far off, and I feel like that's the last natural stopping point in the rp we are going to reach for a while...so do you want to stop now and continue tomorrow?(ps no is a perfectly acceptable answer and I would be fun with continuing, idk it's just a good stopping point I think)
And I'm glad :) I hope you can feel the same way towards me.
I don't even want to live in a world full of magic though. Wanna know why? Becaus I am selfish. I am sooo selfish. I don't want everyone to have it, just a small amount of society, like protrayed in most fantasy books. But I want to be a part of it. /I/ want to have magic? Then it's more special. I want to be something special. I want the extraordinary(I hate that word, by the way. I mean, extra ordinary. Shouldn't that mean /more/ ordinary. But no, it has be ordinary's antonym).
Does this make me a bad person? If it does, I am way beyond caring.

*hugs back* sorry, didn't see that at first

(just one more tiny bit and then that's it ^_^)
fera: *pants* *pants* *pants*
(yes i can relate to that :) It's completely fine that you want that...it shows that you have the will to be something outstanding, the will to become something special, which i can definitely relate to and also value :) I want to be a scientist. Why? well 2 reasons ^_^ One is to help people, the other is to become something special. Instead of waiting around i want to reach for the extraordinary...get what i mean? :) )

Andviolet Queen said...

(Okay, sure, great)
*wakes up, turns around, starts shaking Fera awake* Fera, it's okay, it's only a dream.
(Wow, I envy how you look at things. You just see the good in everything. Thank you for seeing it that way. And I can totally respect that. I could never be a scientist however, because generally in life I only believe three things. 1)Anything is possible 2)Nothing is certain 3)Everything has an exception. I don't like being so tied down as to try to explain how things work. I love to push the boundaries of imagination and reality. I want to be an author. I love the feeling when I create a new universe. When I think of something that has no business existing anywhere. I guess, as a goal, I don't really want to help people as my ultimate mark on the world. I want to think, and share my thoughts, and I want to inspire others to do the same. I want someone to look at what I've created, and really just think about it. I want to inspire thought and open people's minds.)

Feraaaa32 said...

fera: *wakes up* *gulps* what...happened?
(don't envy me please, i am but a humble guy. And don't get me wrong, i am not great at science. In fact, i am good at imagination and creativity. I simply WANT to become a scientist, rather than liking it ^_^ I know this will sound like i am trying to kiss your ass, but i am honestly not- I like to do what you just put...you know, imagining different worlds and things that do not currently exist by our knowledge ^_^ that's a cool goal *hugs* )

I want to become a scientist. An astrophysicist. There's just so much in space we don't know about, so much stuff to be discovered and stuff we don't know how it works. So many questions to be answered and with space, you can push the boundaries.
Also it would require math and I like math!

Feraaaa32 said...

dugg: i know. but still, research science now is still at a boring stage. Such that you have to sit in an office 10 hours a day and look at readings. it's not so fun.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

What my reaction would be if I ever went on the rainbow bridge in Asguard:


OMLI THIS IS SO COOL!
*she begins speAking very quickly*
It's so different than earth I mean no one would ever believe a rainbow bridge would be possible but here it is unless this is just a illusion or dream OMLI what if it what if you don't even exists what if I don't even exists OMLI am I a figment of my own imagination wait would that mean I do or don't exist because if I'm a figment then I don't exist but I'd need to exist in order to have figments figment sounds like figs I don't really like figs do you have figs here do you like figs I don't but I do like raspberries those are good.

Andviolet Queen said...

*smiles softly* Nothing, Fera. You were asleep. You were dreaming.
(Well, no matter what you say, humble guy, I shall envy you(but not for being humble, I quite enjoy embracing the good things about myself and sharing them with others). And if you want to be a scientist, well, I have no doubt that you will be a scientist one day. I feel like you could do it. And what exactly would you gain from kissing my ass? Just saying, you can agree with someone without it meaning you are sucking up to them. And also, what exactly would you be sucking up to me for? Whoops, already said that. Oh well. *hugs* I am quite sure that you are great at imaging and also, just a note, that's what makes a great scientist. Thinking outside the box. And thank you. I appreciate the fact that someone else thinks my goal is worthwhile, instead of helping people or leaving a mark on the world, I feel like those are some of the only accepted goals for a person to have these days :P)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

But the reading would be about interesting stuff!

Andviolet Queen said...

Hey Duggy XD *huggles duggles*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Prior year!

Feraaaa32 said...

fera: i dreamed about being in THAT form, and...seeing you cry *puts arm in front of his face, looks stressed*
(some people just can't believe that you agree with them, so they'd think you're kissing their asses...i am glad you're not one of them ^_^ meh, in my opinion you do what you want, i respect that, and i'll do what i want, and everyone else should respect it :) It's all about love and understanding in the end ^_^)

Andviolet Queen said...

*sighs, hugs Fera* It's okay, Fera. It's over now. Just go back to sleep. *squeezes and lays back down, facing Fera this time*
(Yeah, I totally will believe you if you say you agree with me, I tend to overthink things through and perfectly formulate the perfect most agreeable wording for everything I say before I say it :D and I completely agree with you. Everyone should just do what they want to do(provided they aren't a complete mess at it, then I'm sure there is something better suited for them out here somewhere that they would love, they just haven't found it yet) and love and understanding are pretty good morals, just in general. Meh, but I'm a bit scared of having to go out and face life in a couple unspecified number of years, because what if I can't make it as a writer? What if I have to do something random that's, like...a proper job? I mean, only so many people make it, it's a pretty selective field...)

Andviolet Queen said...

(Wow, I really am talking a lot. Like these comments are getting to be REALLY long)

Feraaaa32 said...

fera: *snuggles to violet closely, facing her*
(There's no what if, Ms. :) You go out and do it, and be confident in yourself and work hard towards it, that's what you do, you don't back down from fear of failure, because it's never the end of the story :) if you work hard at it i am sure you will succeed, seeing as your little 3 part novel is GREAT :) )

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Oh dear. Kindle spaz!

Purple Vi!
*hugs da Vi*

Andviolet Queen said...

*closes eyes, starts to fall back asleep*
(Thanks, that actually really means a lot to me. I mean, the main reason I posted that on here was to get feedback, but it's always nice to hear that someone likes what you're doing, right? And generally speaking, confidently doing what I love is what I plan to do, but you know, there is always going to be a lot of doubt until that day comes, right? And wow, that was insanely quotable. Taking a picture of that little pep talk...)

Andviolet Queen said...

And I now bid you all good night!
I am about to fall asleep. Hopefully talk to you all tomorrow!
Thanks, Frank, it's been nice to talk :)
*hugs frank* *hugs the dug*
