I was finding pictures on the internet for IT today, and I ended up on a blog post by someone, and they were saying how they were getting addicted to chocolate recently but they didn't like chocolate all that much, and that they guessed it was like Diet Coke beacuse they had a massive addiction to Diet Coke but they actually hated Diet Coke.
It made me realise that I am not the only one with irrational obsessions, and that therefore I am not alone in the world. It was nice. :P
Also, my school blocks stuff on their internet . . . and if you try to go to a blcoked page, it will tell you the page is blocked and it will give a reason why, like "Blogs and social media." Well, my friend clicked on a picture today, and it took her to a blocked page, and do you know why it said the page was blocked? Because it contained 'educational content'. :P
Also, I like how much they got/get WRONG, in physics Like, they spent the entire 18th century -after Newton decided light must be particles- trying to convince everybody that light was in fact WAVE, not a particle. Which was followed by 'shit no it IS a particle' followed by 'idk man it's both'
And it's like if you get something wrong, or you don't understand it It seems like nobody actually really understands most of this stuff And chances are it'll probably turn out to be untrue anyway.
Okay, maybe it's time for an extract as opposed to a quote. :P
Jasnah took the book from beanth her arm and set it on the bed beside Shallan. "This is for you." Shallan picked it up. She opened to the front page, but it was blank. The next one was as well, as were all inside of it. Her frown deepened, and she looked up at Jasnah. "It's called the Book of Endless Pages," Jasnah said. "Er, I'm pretty sure it's not endless, Brightness." She flipped to the last page and held it up. Jasnah smiled. "It's a metaphor, Shallan. Many years ago, someone dear to me made a very good attempt at converting me to Vorinism. This was the method he used." Shallan cocked her head. "You search for truth," Jasnah said, "but you also hold to your faith. There is much to admire in that. Seek out the Devotary of Sincerity. They are one of the very smallest of the devotaries, but this book is their guide." "One with blank pages?" "Indeed. They worship the Almighty, but as guided by the belief that there are always more answers to be found. The book cannot be filled, as there is always something to learn. This devotary is a place where one is never penalized for questions, even those challenging Vorinism's own tenets." She shook her head. "I cannot explain their ways. You should be able to find them in Vedenar, though there are none in Kharbranth."
. . . I love the concept of the Book of Endless Pages. I love it.
Also, while we're at it, I might as well type out the next few sentences because great quotes.
"I . . ." Shallan trailed off, noticing how Jasnah's hand rested fondly on the book. It was precious to her. "I hadn't thought to find ardents who were willing to question their own beliefs." Jasnah raised an eyebrow. "You will find wise men in any religion, Shallan, and good men in every nation. Those who truly seek wisdom are those who will acknowledge the virtue in their adversaries and who will learn from those who disabuse them of error. All otehrs - heretic, Vorin, Ysperist, or Maakian - are equally closed-minded." She took her hand from the book, moving as if to stand up. "He's wrong," Shallan said suddenly, realizing something. Jasnah turned to her. "Kabsal," Shallan said, blushing. "He says you're researching the Voidbringers because you want to prove that Vorinism is false." Jasnah sniffed in derision. "I would not dedicate four years of my life to such an empty pursuit. It's idiocy to try and prove a negative. Let the Vorin believe as they wish - the wise amoung them will find goodness adn solace in their faith; the fools would be fools no matter what they believed."
This guy in my maths paper has this pond that's the shape of this deep, not-too-wide cuboid with a section sliced off the bottom (like, the section sliced off being a trirangle prism and chopping the cuboid in half at one side and notchopping into it at the other side). Storms why how pointless is that it's a POND, not a storming SWIMMING POOL. :P
He's now going to pump the water out of his pond so he can clean it. What the actual fuck. One does not pump out ponds to clean them. Ponds have fish in and tadpools in and that kind of shit. Also, ponds are MEANT to be green and weird. You don't CLEAN THEM OUT why. I just - idek. Plus, who would even bother?
and now wbd because I was mentally agreeing with Star about maths homework and 'I can't be bothered', which reminded me I had stats homework. :P
And also, on I 'better for it to ruin the moments of boredom', that's a very nice approach. Will be committing it to memory. :P
@Star (biology): Um. I don't know. There's a lot to know, with biology. There's a lot to understand, but it's a different type of understanding and it's difficult to... understand. idk. It's not understanding how and why, it's understanding the thing that happens and other things that happen, but without the how and why, kind of. idk. It's a different direction and it's hard to follow. And hard to follow = hard to focus = hard to do the thing
(This is something that I have wanted to say for a while, but I have never actually considered it, in a sense? But now I have the urge to say so.
Admittedly, I am a rather extreme person. In most senses. There are few things I am not extreme about. One of the things that could considered extreme about me is my stance on violence. I am, in many senses, a violent person. The amount of people who I have killed is in the thousands. But... I have a very particular opinion about how violence should be portrayed. There are many things - books, films, games, most forms of media, actually - which present violence in a way that I do not agree with. It is not something to be laughed about, or something to be done for entertainment. Violence is a serious matter. Yes, you may laugh when a character cracks a joke in a story - but would you be laughing if someone killed someone who you would know, such as a family or friend, then joke about their demise? I rather think not. And what would you think of someone who would watch someone dying for entertainment? Because that is exactly what you are doing when you are watching a film. I think that, if violence is to be portrayed in a book, film or game, et cetera, it needs to be in a way that shows violence for what it is - cruel, and messy. And that is one of the reasons why I do not like Skulduggery Pleasant. Because the portrayal of violence in the books is something which I consider wrong. And whilst the author may not condone violence, the book certainly seems to do so. If people were truly against violence, why would they read a book which presents it in a comedic fashion?)
@Taia: Ah, I get that. :) Okay. I have a biology teacher who gives us metaphors about stuff(the reasons neves have myelin sheaths is to insulate them so the signals don't get confused - like, pretend the classrooms are the nerves and the walls are the mylein sheaths - if the classrooms had no walls, it would be really noisy and you wouldn't be able to hear the lesson as clearly as all the lessons would sort of overlap. He also explained osmosis using the London riots :P), so I guess it's easier for us to get. :)
Thank you, Sophia, I suppose.
@Taia: C: I'm pleased my extract impressed you. C:
Idk, the extracts always seem weird and less cool when I copy them out, so it's great to know that apparently they still seem cool to other people. :)
@Seir: Sophia's Dragona's character. Although I don't like phrasing it like that because it makes it sound like Sophia is less real but she is real and meh.
(Dragona is the individual who wrote me, Osmosis.)
Liliana: I have no intentions of doing so.
Bethany: *she hugs her back*
Claire: *she takes some jeans from the rail, checking the tag* These seem alright? No polyester... *the jeans are dark in colour, with tears on the thighs*
Yeah. Draggie was one of the first people I met when I came on the blog... I loved that gen so much. We hardly even went on the blog xD That's why my first comments are so hard to find...We went on the xan chatroom every night.
@Star(pond): xD If you NEVER cleaned it, starting again probably isn't a bad idea? I mean, we have a pond which you can't actually SEE any more, because, overgrowth. Like, if you didn't know it was there you'd walk right into it and probably end up drowning. Or, you'd sink very slowly, because it turned to swamp. We don't know what's down there any more. No frogs, at least. There's also a cleaner one - not clean, but cleaner, better maintained, which has a lot of wildlife (still no fish, though, they got eaten). If we wanted to get Swampy-Yuck-Invisible pond into Wildlife-Cool pond, it'd probably need pumping and whatnot.
So it might be justifiable. I don't know. Depends what they want their pond to look like? :)
"Doesn't that bother you?" Kaladin asked. "That you might be a creation of human perception?" "You're a creation of your parents. Who cares how we were born? I can think. That's good enough."
@Chi: That is one thing that makes me kind of sad There were some really ace times in the past But you can't go back and find it, because it was on the xat. There are HUGE spaces of time it looks like I totally vanished for :P
@Star: That last quote voices my feelings about existence very well. :) :) :)
And- xD OK, I can't answer that one. :P
ANd- Yeah. :/ Especially when you don't know ANYONE in your seating plan area. It's so much easier to learn when you're comfortable with the place you're in, y'know? :S
Onwa: Until tomorrow night.. *teleports Liliana to their room from before* *watches Lorelei* If you see the parasite, do not hesitate to wake me. Understood?
Interesting. As you may have reasoned I've been doing a bit of research, but there are some things I'd like to ask you. Why did the Geth initially oppose their creators instead of simply allowing themselves to be destroyed? Did sentience instill you with a sense of self-preservation, an organic concept?
Mm.. your white underwear is still pretty.. *choses a few matching sets for herself, adding them to the pile, hiding them under some jeans because not all are regular styles*
I am very happy that I have that much extra put away for later use, what I am not happy about is the fact that I was denied the opportunity to use it how I had planned. The work seems like it was all for naught.
When did we start using given names, anyway? I thought the screen name thing was to give us a level of anonymity where we could feel comfortable conversing daily with complete strangers.
Okay, two questions: when do you need it for, and how much more do you need?
Hey Elleni!
Demon Road. Demon Road every time. I don't care if Demon Road is some crappy sci fi romance novel with a paper thin plot and no diolougue that sounds like a human. Demon Road.
Yeah. It's just... odd for me, I suppose. Other people and their not fake names. It feels like it changes from an abstract situation with peculiar entities to actual people in a social situation, and all the perceived chains that come with that.
Liliana: So I turned and saw Lorelei dead. And I assumed that when you die in a dream, you wake up. So I told you to go, but you seemed to be messing around. So I grabbed you and teleported us both... But, it seems, I was too slow. And then everything vanished. And it came back into being in the forest. That is all that happened.
I think I have to go to bed, IM SO EXCITED FOR WORLD BOOK DAY! I went as Val last year, I'm not going as her this year (although Skulduggery is my faveourite book of all time) Nighty Night!
Frankly, may have hugged is as good as actually having done so in my eyes. Congratulations! *streamers rain from the sky* I dub thee Skul fan Laurahugger of Cheen!
I met him once. I only took the 1st book to the 6th book signing a I didn't want to be that annoying person with every single book (Trip :3) And I was one of the first in the queue so I would have pissed a lot of people off.
Aretha prefers to be called by her taken name simply because she chose it for herself. In addition to that, she has come to associate it heavily with this place. She feels it suits her.
I also happen to feel that my taken name suits me quite well, and I have effectively disowned my given name. I would not want anyone to call me by it, regardless of how comfortable I felt around them.
I met him over Skype as well. I know that makes me one of the luckier Ameriminions, but I'd still love to go to a signing, like, irl. Maybe apologize for how much of an annoying idiot I was over Skype. XD
Exactly, All. I feel like my name here just is Trip, and anything else is a bit uncomfortable. A bit like when I first heard someone call me Trip out loud.
It is. Apple factories are so secretive not because they want to protect their patents, but so the general public never finds out about the *the lighting suddenly shines from the floor, making spoooky shadows on Trip's face* BLOOD SACRIFICES! *lightening cracks in the distance*
My phone's deciding to be really laggy so whenever I type the letters don't show up but the cursor thingy moves like it would if there WERE letters showing up and whenever I stop typing I have to wait for it to catch up and it's annoying
*more sad distance staring, shaking head at the folly of the nonclairvoyant. Looks at the Smiley's one last time, a single tear rolling down his cheek*
*hugs Fabi*
D'aaaaaaw, you're beautiful and wonderful too. I'm certainly glad to be in this fandom too.
I know Fabi's true name, and the true names of a few of my other characters. I don't know mine, though, or what it would be. I don't think I want to know.

Well, my friend clicked on a picture today, and it took her to a blocked page, and do you know why it said the page was blocked?
Because it contained 'educational content'. :P
Idek. XD
*blinks at Osmosis*
Osmosis.
-_-
Dammit, I was just getting over my fangirling. :P
. . .
You know when you're doing maths homework and you're just like "I cannot be bothered to do this"?
(...)
(Gahhh so bored!)
If you're bored, try doing homework; better for it to ruinthe moments of boredom than the moments when you actually have something better to do. :)
(I've done all the homework I can do...)
I've lost my protractor . . .
@Seir: :( Lucky you . . .
Try reading a book, listening to music, finding YouTubers. :) Drawing a picture, writing something random.
*hugs Star*
I find biology harder, though. :P
Also, I like how much they got/get WRONG, in physics
Like, they spent the entire 18th century -after Newton decided light must be particles- trying to convince everybody that light was in fact WAVE, not a particle. Which was followed by 'shit no it IS a particle'
followed by 'idk man it's both'
And it's like
if you get something wrong, or you don't understand it
It seems like nobody actually really understands most of this stuff
And chances are it'll probably turn out to be untrue anyway.
Which is kind of comforting. :P
And- :/
Bad teachers = bad :(
@Sophia: :/
@Star: *laughs* :P
Omg OSMOSIS.-Zaf
(:()
Star, I act that way towards all school work...
@Zaf: IKR.
@Taia: I don't know how you possibly can . . . ? What's hard about biology? :P
And, yeah. :) I think we're always searching to get closer to The Truth, except there is no one Truth. Truth is individual.
I think now is a good time for a Stormlight Archive quote. Hang on. :P
I think most people do, Chi. :(
Okay, maybe it's time for an extract as opposed to a quote. :P

Jasnah is so wise.
Thank you, Sophia. :) *hugs*
Anyway.
*turns back to maths*

Storms
why
how pointless is that
it's a POND, not a storming SWIMMING POOL. :P

What the actual fuck.

I just -
idek.
Plus, who would even bother?
(Don't feel well.)
@Seir: :( What time is it where you are?
Hear hear!
*hugs everyone to greet them*
*has to poof, unfortunately*
(7:10)
(Bye Kas... :()
Would it be possible for you to take a nap, then? It might make you feel better.
Hi, Kas. :) And, fours. :(
(*shakes head* I still have piano and violin practise... *groans*)
Hi/bye Kassy

sorry for vanishing. had to go eat suddenly

Onwa: I love you too Liliana.. so much..
*moves against her slightly, sighing happily*
You really are..
@The Book of Endless Pages: O_O
wow
*nods*
wow
I like that
And also the following extract
*nods*
:0
I'm not really sure how to respond, except WISDOM.
wow
*adds to 'Read Stormlight Archive' mental notes*
(I never thought about that... Thank you Soph... I'm sorry if that sort of stuff upsets you in any way. *airhugs*)
(Hello again, Jaimie. *hugs her tightly*)
Liliana: I am glad to be back.
Lorelei: *she stirs a little, coming back into consciousness, starting to hold her nose*
Claire: Yes, Bethany, you are.
Bethany: I... I'm getting self-conscious again...
(It does not upset me, Osmosis. However, I cannot help but have a rant at it whenever Dragona would pick up Skulduggery Pleasant.)
(*nods* Dragona?)
(*hugs tightly back, mumbling sleepily*)
Onwa: never leave again.
*moves against her more, moaning slightly*
*smiles,hugging her*
Don't be..
@Taia: Ah, I get that. :) Okay.
I have a biology teacher who gives us metaphors about stuff(the reasons neves have myelin sheaths is to insulate them so the signals don't get confused - like, pretend the classrooms are the nerves and the walls are the mylein sheaths - if the classrooms had no walls, it would be really noisy and you wouldn't be able to hear the lesson as clearly as all the lessons would sort of overlap.

Dragona's a really old minion . . . he's been here even before Chi, I think, and Chi's REALLLLLy old in minion-terms. O_O
(Dragona is the individual who wrote me, Osmosis.)
Liliana: I have no intentions of doing so.
Bethany: *she hugs her back*
Claire: *she takes some jeans from the rail, checking the tag* These seem alright? No polyester... *the jeans are dark in colour, with tears on the thighs*
Bethany: They're damaged...
(Star, I suppose I have exceeded my original parameters as a character.
I will be back soon.)
Onwa: Good.
*kisses her hungrily, shivering slightly*
That's the style.
@Sophia: You have. :)
Oh
I have something Stormlight Archive-related on the subject, actually.
Yeah. Draggie was one of the first people I met when I came on the blog...
I loved that gen so much.
We hardly even went on the blog xD
That's why my first comments are so hard to find...We went on the xan chatroom every night.
@Star(pond): xD
If you NEVER cleaned it, starting again probably isn't a bad idea?

@Taia: . . .
good point.
:P
Okay you win on the cleaning front. But WHY IS IT SUCH AN AWKWARD PRISM SHAPE???
... That's a good point, Sophia. I'll think on that. Thank you. :)
@Star: Oh, that's cool. *nods* It probably does depend a lot on teachers, tbh. :)
@Taia: Yeah. That and seating plans. :/
(whoooop I caught up! :P)
@Chi: That is one thing that makes me kind of sad
There were some really ace times in the past
But you can't go back and find it, because it was on the xat.
There are HUGE spaces of time it looks like I totally vanished for :P
@Star: That last quote voices my feelings about existence very well. :) :) :)
And- xD
OK, I can't answer that one. :P
ANd- Yeah. :/
Especially when you don't know ANYONE in your seating plan area. It's so much easier to learn when you're comfortable with the place you're in, y'know? :S
(I am back.)
Liliana: *she kisses her hungrily back*
Lorelei: ... What happened? I don't feel well...
Bethany: It's broken style?
(Coool)
(Wbd unless anyone wants me to stay for a particular reason otherwise I shall go and watch Zoella because I have been told to by my friends... :/)
Onwa: *sighs irritability, pulling back*
You were punched. In the face.
Yeah.. it's not very smart..
Lorelei: ... Why?
Bethany: Then people will be able to see my legs...
(OK, Seir. *hugs*)
Onwa: to make you sleep.
Mmm.. *smiles*

(Greeting Gethie.. nice to see you again.. last time was the requiem ball right? When you embarrassed Ashlea and Leri.)
Onwa: Okay. So, what do we do?
*looks at Liliana*
When we've got more..
Correct, Tempest-Silente.
(Good to see you again. How are your circuits?)

Liliana: About what?
Bethany: *she nods* Yes.
Claire: Clothes shopping with you two is funny.

Indeed.

Bethany: I don't like... showing skin... Not really...
Onwa: Good.
*teleports to join Liliana*
*nods*
That's understandable..
I have had a great deal of problems because I don't have enough money to go to a certain country or whatever.
(*waves at Blake and Ellie*)
Liliana: *she sits down on the bed in the room beside Lorelei's*
Bethany: It makes me uncomfortable... A little.
Oh wait, my bad, I did. And now that I think about it I was trying to work out plans to make that trip. Oh well.
Thank you, Elleni. :)
(You are speaking sense, Elleni.)
And in case anyone couldn't tell this has absolutely nothing to do with Derek coming to America.
(*cuddles Ellie*
Blake, stop picking your scabs.)
Onwa: Are you alright?
*nods*
I prefer to be covered up..
Geth, a question. How many programs is this single platform capable of holding?
Liliana: I am good. You?
Bethany: Wow, they're pretty underwear... *she moves to a different rail which contains underwear*
This unit currently holds 1067 Geth programmes.
Onwa: I am fine. Concerned about you
*laughs*
*rolls eyes, grabbing a few more pairs of jeans for Beth*
*joins her at the underwear*
Not bad. Not quite Legion, but that's still roughly a hundred times the average platform.
Liliana: Why?
Bethany: They're all... lacy.
Onwa: You were just trapped in Lorelei's head.
Yup. Ohhh...nice.
*starts searching through, looking for underwear for herself*
This unit was designed as an advanced combat platform, not primarily to interact with organics.
John, stop it...
You should be glad you can save money.
If you don't care, stop bringing it up...
(*nods at Gem*)
Liliana: It was only for a short time.
Bethany: They're prettier than the normal white ones I have...
Interesting. As you may have reasoned I've been doing a bit of research, but there are some things I'd like to ask you. Why did the Geth initially oppose their creators instead of simply allowing themselves to be destroyed? Did sentience instill you with a sense of self-preservation, an organic concept?
Onwa: still..
Mm.. your white underwear is still pretty..
*choses a few matching sets for herself, adding them to the pile, hiding them under some jeans because not all are regular styles*
I am very happy that I have that much extra put away for later use, what I am not happy about is the fact that I was denied the opportunity to use it how I had planned. The work seems like it was all for naught.
We did not want to be rendered non-functional. This could be considered an organic concept.
[POWERING DOWN]
*Smirks*
Got ya.
*And with that he fades into the shadows*
John don't go...
Liliana: Honestly. I could tell you what it was like, for me, if you'd like?
Bethany: Still... Could I get some underwear?
(I will be back soon.)
Onwa: *nods, sitting next to her*
Please.
Sure.
*smiles*
Demon Road. It is cool.
Better than Sixteen, certainly. I don't much like one word titles. They're over too fast, don't convey enough.
Let the hype commence, I suppose.
*Cuddles Trip tightly*
Fuck this essay...
I just...can't do it tonight...
I'm exhausted...
I have first 2 off tomorrow practically... then English 3rd and 4th.
Hi, Im new to blogging, but I read a lot of them. I was wonndering if anyone is online?
*cuddles Chione*
It's quarter to, ye'vnt a chance to finish it tonight, no. Actually, an abundance of coffee and sugar might do it?
Anyway, how much is left?
*looks at the sparkly new sheen around the new person. It's so sparkly and new. Sparkles...*
*Sorry, where was I? Oh yes. Smiles*
Herrow! We haven't met, have we? Most likely not, what an odd coincidence that'd be, eh?
*proffers a wine bottle* Here, it's Blogland, 2023, best grape of the century.
I'm Trip, as you may have discerned. I'm the bartender around here.
Hello Skulduggery Pleasant fan, I've seen you around before.
I go by many names, the most common is Chione Asahina.
I'm also called Ariadne Silver and my given name is Gemma, if you prefer.
Well...I've got like 400 words and that was the first draft so...a lot still to do...but I just can't tonight...
When did we start using given names, anyway? I thought the screen name thing was to give us a level of anonymity where we could feel comfortable conversing daily with complete strangers.
Or maybe I'm just weird and socially awkward.
Or probably everyone's different.
Okay, two questions: when do you need it for, and how much more do you need?
Hey Elleni!
Demon Road. Demon Road every time. I don't care if Demon Road is some crappy sci fi romance novel with a paper thin plot and no diolougue that sounds like a human. Demon Road.
Thank you very much for making me feel welcomed, Gemma
Yeah. It's just... odd for me, I suppose. Other people and their not fake names. It feels like it changes from an abstract situation with peculiar entities to actual people in a social situation, and all the perceived chains that come with that.
But then again, I'm really quite peculiar.
(I am back.
Trip, I believe it is personal preference.)
Liliana: So I turned and saw Lorelei dead. And I assumed that when you die in a dream, you wake up. So I told you to go, but you seemed to be messing around. So I grabbed you and teleported us both... But, it seems, I was too slow. And then everything vanished. And it came back into being in the forest. That is all that happened.
Bethany: Really?
(It is, yes. Wb.)
Has anyone here actually meet Derek before, no mean to sound nosy
Thank you Ellie
I went to a signing once.
I had all eight of my books with me, he was friendly and patient, despite having been there for hours.
I was there for 3 hours once, LoL
He was kind and funny, Laura was there too, if I knew who she was back then, I may have hugged her!
I think I have to go to bed, IM SO EXCITED FOR WORLD BOOK DAY! I went as Val last year, I'm not going as her this year (although Skulduggery is my faveourite book of all time) Nighty Night!
He's a lovely man, is our Deruk.
Frankly, may have hugged is as good as actually having done so in my eyes. Congratulations! *streamers rain from the sky* I dub thee Skul fan Laurahugger of Cheen!
Sleep well.
World book day's tomorrow? (Checks calendar)
So it is, here.
I like that there are multiple world book days across the world.
Hello.
@Trip help me wash the Idris' windows, they seem to have some Aurora debris on them.
I would, but I'm a bit busy cleaning the Idris bits off my Bengal.
How've ye been friend?
Hey guys!!!
That title... is so wonderful...
Words cannot describe how excited I am for this book :3
Hey Trippy, Grimmy and Jubi! :)
I'm okay. How are you, guys?
*pops in*
*leaves hugs for Noelle, and a few for Danni*
...
*still has a hard time being called by her given name on here*
...
*poofs*
HAIIII GAISSSS *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
JUBI
*hugs*
Hello grimm.
I...really have to go to sleep.
I met him once. I only took the 1st book to the 6th book signing a I didn't want to be that annoying person with every single book (Trip :3)
And I was one of the first in the queue so I would have pissed a lot of people off.
HAIIII CHIIIIII!!! *Supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
*hugs Hopeymoth*
*is hugged by Jubi* Hey! :)
How are you?
Ok, I'm really going to sleep now. Goodnight everyone *hugs*
Hey Grimm, how's stuff?
*issupermegatacklehugsofdoomed* Herrow Jubi! Been a while, eh?
I'm doing rather well for myself, thanks. Good to see you're well too.
Hibye Lav. Bye!
*cuddles Gemmy* :3
I met him via Skype!
-Zaf
I have a smoothie. A strawberry citrus one. :D
I am also in a parking lot. :-/
Oh and it's sunny. :D
Good night, Gem!
BAIIIIIIII CHIIIIII!!! *Supermegagoodnighttacklehugsofdoom*
HAIIIIII KASSSSS!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
I am good! Very good indeed *nodsnodsnods*
You?
Goodnight Chione! *cuddles* Sleep well, hope you finish that essay!
Aretha prefers to be called by her taken name simply because she chose it for herself. In addition to that, she has come to associate it heavily with this place. She feels it suits her.
I also happen to feel that my taken name suits me quite well, and I have effectively disowned my given name. I would not want anyone to call me by it, regardless of how comfortable I felt around them.
I met him over Skype as well. I know that makes me one of the luckier Ameriminions, but I'd still love to go to a signing, like, irl. Maybe apologize for how much of an annoying idiot I was over Skype. XD
Hi Zaf. How's stuff?
Fabi *hugs* Hey. Car parks aren't too bad. You can learn a lot about people from their cars, you can learn and stuff.
HAIIIIII TRIIIIIIP and ZAAAAAAAF and FABTEEEEAAAAA!!!!! *Supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
It HAS been a while...
*really wants a strawberry citrus smoothie and sunshine but alas it is cold and rainy and smoothie-less over here*
Hey, Fabi! *hugs* How are you?
I'm okay, Jubi. Nothing to complain about.
Exactly, All. I feel like my name here just is Trip, and anything else is a bit uncomfortable. A bit like when I first heard someone call me Trip out loud.
*is supermegatacklehugsofdoomed again*
How's stuff been within that while?
dammit I gtg
I SHALL BE BACK!
*poofs*
Hey, Alastair and Zaffy! Welcome back! :) How are you two feeling?
Bye, Jubi!
Toodloo Jubles!
Ok I have returned through the power of smart-phone-ness.
HAI!
All hail the powerful smartphonomancer!
*huggles Jubi*
Sorry. I should be heading to sleep. I've got stuff to do tomorrow. Gotta visit the bank so if I find a job money can actually come into my account.
Good night!
How on earth do they make these phones so damn smart? Is it witchcraft? I suppose that's the only reasonable explanation....
'Night Kas! *supermegagoodnighttacklehugsofdoom*
Have fun at Le bank :3
It is. Apple factories are so secretive not because they want to protect their patents, but so the general public never finds out about the *the lighting suddenly shines from the floor, making spoooky shadows on Trip's face* BLOOD SACRIFICES! *lightening cracks in the distance*
Oh, sorry Tia, missed your comment. (I'm pretty bad.)
Sleep well. Hopefully they won't eat up too much of your time.
My phone's deciding to be really laggy so whenever I type the letters don't show up but the cursor thingy moves like it would if there WERE letters showing up and whenever I stop typing I have to wait for it to catch up and it's annoying
Damn I gotta go again -_-
Baii
My name is Fabi here but also it's Moss. I only feel strongly one way or the other if I'm in a weird mood.
I HAVE RAINBOW SHARPIES
BEWARE
Toodles. Have fun in your endevour(s)
I'm well enough, I suppose.
Hello, everyone.
Rainbow sharpies?
That sounds too amazing.
Are you lying to me?
*smirks* Hey, Alice.
I'm well, Trip.
-Zaf
Welcome. I think you missed a lot of us though :P
Oh good, Zaf. And the gerbils?
I would not particularly like to be known by my given name though.
Like, the whole pointe of taking a name is that it fits you more.
...
I told the person at the smoothie place my name was Tanith. I usually do that when ordering food, because I'm weird like that,
Hello, Alastair.
What? No, of course not, Trip!
Admittedly not one of these sharpies is rainbow by itself, but together they are and they have the power to DESTROY THE UNIVERSE
or doodle smiley faces
SO THERE
They're fine, I guess. They're sleeping currently.
-Zaf
[Sings a gerbil lullaby that consists mostly of squeaks and knocking things over]
[Idk is that what gerbils do?]
*looks off into the distance*
You have not seen the futures I have cryptic one.
The futures where the world burns. Where your great glass towers are reduced to naught, your armies to ash, and your hopes to stardust.
You have not seen the times when the rainbow Smiley's will come. The ti!me the world will truly end.
Voles see infrared, and rats use their spines to assist movement by moving it like a caterpillar's body.
Don't know snot about gerbils though.
OH BY THE WAY
YOU'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND I'M GLAD TO BE IN THE SAME FANDOM AS YOU
ALL OF YOU
OH AND WHILE I'M AT IT, THANK YOU TO DEREK
YOU'RE VERY EVIL
BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU'RE ALSO PRETTY COOL
AND WITHOUT YOU, THIS PLACE WOULDN'T EXIST, SO...
HERE, HAVE A RAINBOW SMILEY FACE
[Draws Derek a rainbow smiley face]
[Draws one for everyone]
YOU'RE ALL PERFECT OKAY
[Apocalypse-foreshadowing music with a bit of extra rainbow smiley-ness added]
Haha I dunno either, they squeak a lot.
-Zaf
*more sad distance staring, shaking head at the folly of the nonclairvoyant. Looks at the Smiley's one last time, a single tear rolling down his cheek*
*hugs Fabi*
D'aaaaaaw, you're beautiful and wonderful too. I'm certainly glad to be in this fandom too.
It's a major evolutionary advantage, don't you know.
Hello Elleni!
...
I know Fabi's true name, and the true names of a few of my other characters. I don't know mine, though, or what it would be. I don't think I want to know.
I know people know Trip's true name, but I'm don't. I can't settle on one, basically.
