'Tis The Season...

... to be jolly, fa la la la laa, la la la laaaaaaa...

My Christmas tree is up. It actually went up a few weeks ago. It's not a REAL Christmas tree. I mean, it's real ENOUGH. It's not IMAGINARY. If you threw it at someone, it'd hit them. But it's made from assorted plastics and stuff. Also it's black. It looks awesome, but lacks that Christmas tree smell. But I don't mind that. My folks have a real Christmas tree up, and that's where Christmas happens anyway, so who cares if my house doesn't smell of pine needles? Not me. Not really.

Not... really...

Anyway, yes, the tree. It's up. The presents are bought. They're not wrapped, but they're bought. Most of them. Okay, I haven't a clue what to get my dad, but he's a dad. He'll be happy with socks. Fathers are simple creatures. 

So... tree up. Presents bought. These are things I set aside time to do, because I needed to set aside time. I've been so busy lately that if I hadn't set aside this time, I just wouldn't get around to it. There are loads of things I just didn't have time for, like sending out Christmas cards. I love sending out cards. I try to combine it with answering all the letters from readers, so when I send off a reply, they get a Christmas card too. How lovely! But not this year. Answering all those letters, sending all those cards, would take two days at a minimum, and they are two days I can't afford to take off writing. 

The writing is going well, by the way. I've been focussing on short stories these last three weeks, building up quite a collection of new stuff. Each of these stories will be told in a different "voice" than the one you're used to. You'll see what I mean when you read them. 

One thing that I haven't decided on yet are the Christmas Skype calls I was planning on making. Essentially, I was going to take an hour one day and just fit as many three-minute Skype calls into that hour as I could. It seemed like a lovely idea at the time, but I'm not so sure anymore. Not everyone who wanted a call would be available on that hour, and so I'd have to field quite a few complaints. Then there'd be the people who'd want a one-on-one chat, when I'd only be comfortable chatting if there were two or more people in the room with you. Basically, my idea would end up causing a whole lot of hassle that I could really do without, so I just don't know. 

Okay then, enough jibber-jabber. I have work to do. 

Be cool, my Minions.

@Mushroom: Maybe not, but everyone good is also bad, and everyone bad is also good, so even if it's not good, it'll be partially good. :)
*hugs* :) :)

Huh. Im just like.... Meh. I'm crazy but i usually ignore the haters. Kids hate me because i have brains. Im different then the others but it doesnt matter. Im happy so i couldnt give a crap.

Luciana said...

Star, do you study philosophy...?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Man is not one but two, he is evil and good.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Well, that went well.
Apparently I'm not doing schoolwork today.

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: No. Never got the option. BUT I REALLY WANT TO.

I've realised that philosophical thinking is one of my favourite things to do. :P

@Lantern: Oh. That's partially good and partially bad . . . ? :/
(Good because you don't have to do it, bad because getting behind.)

@Zaf: I actually have a reputation for being weird. *nods*
I think it's probably a fairly strong one.
I hope so, anyway. I'm rather proud of it.
And - that's a really good attitude you have. :) :)

#ChaseForBooKNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Msd....

Blergh. Yeah its ok to be weird.

And he crossed the fine line we'd all cross if we could.

Luciana said...

You'd be good at it.

I was considering it earlier today whilst in the midst of a discussion regarding primary and secondary qualities. I also found an argument to go against the common claim that "I'm useless" - representative realism is incredible. :3

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: I hope so. Practise, mostly. :P

And - yay! :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, wait. I'm a bubble. I'm good at everything.
OF COURSE I WOULD BE GOOD AT IT.

My dad doesn't click with the click button on laptops. He double-taps on the touch pad.

*tries to go about my life without using the click button*

Hmm. Has an odd smooth feeling to it. :)

No, you seem to have the mindset for it, Star. You seem to be able to question things to the extent of entertaining the possibility of the external world being non-existent, because of it being a working hypothesis and due to how we cannot truly experience it. :P

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: Thank you. :) :) :)
And - obviously, there's a possibly the world doesn't exist. I've often thought that I could really be little again and just wake up and the whole me-being-older could just be a dream. Or maybe the whole world isn't real, and maybe it's . . . maybe our race constructed this world, and maybe they've sent me into a video-game thing and I'm lying in a coma and I'm just seeing how it is, being a human, and then one day I will wake up and remember that I'm not really a human, I'm this other species, and I'll have to recount what I've found.
I think I'll tell them to go ahead and make the human race. We're not great, and we have masses of issues, but we're beautiful, you know? :)

*nods and stores that in memory*

Ah, yes. What was I saying?

I was saying thanks. Um, thanks. :) :)

And - I do have a mindset for it. The only thing is, I never really get out the mindset. Cue people thinking I'm insane. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

It'll be sad if this isn't real, though. Because if I'M not real, how real does that make Hunter?
Obviously he's real in his own way, but if he's only real through me and I'm not real, then how is he meant to be real when I stop existing?
Obviously I will still be me, but when I get my other sets of memories back I will have two personalities - the one I grew as that other species, and the one I grew here. Obviously, we're different species, so they probably did something to my brain to make me more human, and also, your memories make you who you are. If I had a different life, I would be a different person. Similar in some ways, but not the same.

I'm starting to understand why Hunter would want to abandon my brain and go live somewhere else. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

That could be odd, actually . . . like in Fractured, in the Slated series.

You're not really any of the people you used to be, you're sort of someone else, but sometimes you're more one person that another.

#ChaseForBookNien

Star Inkbright said...

I hope I exist, you know?

I hope I exist, because if I don't and this is all kind of for nothing . . . idk, I've learnt some beautiful things here. I don't want that to just die.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

I read once that trusting is like just assuming that people won't betray you when you don't really know, but not trusting is assuming that people will betray you when you don't really know.
However, whilst trusting is much more painful when it goes wrong, it's also a lot happier and you get a lot of good from it.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

(I mean, I meant to link that up, but then it seemed better on its own.)

URGHHHH I HATE NOT KNOWING HOW I FEEL ABOUT THINGS IT'S SO AGGRAVATING.

How are you meant to judge a situation when you don't know how you feel about it??? How are you meant to realise the vibe you're getting from it and change the way you act accordingly???


(I'll probably get used to it, but hey.)

#ChaseForBookNine

Luciana said...

Did you know that René Descartes held the belief that this world doesn't really exist and that the devil was playing with our minds?

Star Inkbright said...

And going back to my earlier rant (sorry) - how is making me see that obviously I can't confide in her HELPING me?
Confiding is good.
I read once (here, I think. Someone said it at the top of a page or something) that your true friends were not just the ones you felt happy with, but the ones who were there for you when you felt upset.
When I'm incredibly upset about something, I now don't feel like I want to tell her about it.
And I'm not sure how that has helped me in any way. -_-

She probably FEELS lie she's helping, you know, but she really isn't.

I WAS UPSET BECAUSE SOMETHING SAD HAS HAPPENED IN A STORY. I AM NOT SURE WHY THAT WARRANTS SEEING A DOCTOR.

My friend has come to school in a right state before because of her characters and she's been really upset about it for the whole day and totally traumatised and I HAPPEN TO NOTICE THAT NOBODY'S TELLING HER SHE'S SCHIZOPHRENIC.

*makes noise of annoyance*

Hello...?

ADRAAAAAAA *tacklehugs*

Noelle said...

Hi Lu! *hugs*

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: No. But it's quite a good theory. :) :)

Hey Adra! :)

My laptop just malfunctioned a bit there. O_O It malfunctioned in a way never seen before by me. :O

#ChaseForBooknine

Noelle said...

Hiya Star! *hugs*

Star Inkbright said...

Hiya Adra. :) :)

I almost said 'I feel ya' irl today. I didn't, because it was unfamiliar to me, so the thought popped into my head and then I had to stop and thing about how you would say it because I've never said it before, and by then it was too late, but still. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*'you' being generic

Aye :P

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hello again. I think.

I may have ever-so-slightly fallen asleep before. Really productive of me.

Star Inkbright said...

I've never been the centre of a fall-out before.

Other people fall out, and I take sides, although usually I can see the pros and cons of both sides and just pick one due to who I like better (trying not to do that now) or who has less people on their side.

If I fall out with my friend, this will be the first time I can remember when I have fallen out with somebody and it is ME doing the falling-out.

I don't really agree with falling out, so probably the main reason why I would choose to fall out would be either for the experience or to prove a point. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

I probably won't fall out, though.

Like I said, I don't believe in falling out.

*hugs Lantern*

Just redid the bipolar quiz for the first time since like a month ago, and I'm scoring higher on it than I did before. I know have "moderate to severe symptoms" as opposed to "bipolar disorder likely".

Um, good to know.

Star Inkbright said...

My friend's form tutor taught them how to forge his signature because he couldn't be bothered to go around the whole class signing everyone's planners. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Because they hadn't signed them for weeks and weeks.

In contrast, my form tutor will give us detention if we haven't got our parents to sign it for over three weeks. XD

(You need the signatures of both your parents and your form tutor.)

#ChaseForBookNine

Dragona Pine said...

In Medieval History we learn how Christians massacred thousands and thousands of innocent people, including other Christians and Muslims.
And we learn how they killed children and stuck them on sticks.


Yay.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Wonderful. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Why do you have your planners signed?

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: To prove our parents have seen them. In theory, they're meant to look at all our homework (which we're meant to write down in our planners and tick it off when we've done it. Over 90% of us do, to my reckoning. I would guess over 95%, but yeah. I love my planner) and see if we've done it and stuff.
In reality, the parents generally just sign without bothering to check.

Minecraft! Haven't been on coz of stuff (parents and sister *tuts*)

I know :) *hugsies* Just want my irl friends to leave me be...Not gonna happen

Star Inkbright said...

Okay, so I said to my friends that terrorists didn't deserve to die, and C was saying they did, and anyway, I said that two wrongs didn't make a right, and she said that a wrong and a right didn't make a right either, and I said that no, but it balanced it out, and that if you had one wrong and lots of rights it would be right. And she went quiet for a moment (thinking), and then said that in maths, when you multiple a negative by a positive, it when negative. And I kind of said what a good point it was, and thought about it for a moment. And then I said that that's because whatever you do, you can't bring those dead people back to life. Nothing will ever make that right. But you can still had more right into the world afterwards.
Um, yeah. :P
It was quite thought-inducing.

I'm definitely dropping Business because ew and I'm dropping Art and German because I'm no good...:P

And omg I can't do higher level maths next year I can barely handle maths as it is D:

Idk. Asdfghjkl

I shall either rant to Corvo (coz she's ace) or punch one of them tomorrow. First one sounds better I think?

Wbd, writing Imperfect/new book/Lux.

@Rhydian: Rant. *nods* I like ranting to people. I don't like punching people. :P

And - ikr. -_-

@Mara: Ah, you see, I picked art and German because I'm fairly good at art and I liked German . . . :P

Hmm. Well, ask yourself what you enjoy the most, and ask yourself which might be the most useful, and ask yourself what you're good at, and see what comes highest in those categories. :)

And - :(
Hopefully higher level maths won't be too mean to your brain?

I'm just casually sitting here xD i give up on my Minecraft treehouse...

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: If you force yourself not to give up on small things, it may be easier not to give up on important things. :)
(Or, you know, you just waste vast quantities of time grinding your way down through unimportant things and at the end realise what better use you could have put your life to.)

#ChaseForBookNine

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

A code is a different way of writing in a language. It translates directly. 022-001-121-121-221 always means happy. Usually it's letter-to-symbol, but I have a few that are more sound-to-symbol. I can't type any of them, though. :-P

But yeah, while some of my codes have their own grammar rules (sort of), they're all English (or American English for you picky people) underneath.

A language is completely different. There can be several words for happy, and they don't all translate perfectly. Like, in Peter and the Starcatchers, Molly accidentally uses the porpoise word for the happy feeling of having your tummy tickled by seaweed, even though she means a different kind of happy. At least that's what I think happens... My head is a big giant cotton brick.

GAH

Rant over!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*hugs Luci* I'm fine, just overthinking things as usual :P

Star - :) *hugs*
I asked my French teacher how to say "Little Mix" and she didn't know either XD

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: *hugs* :) That was a beautiful rant.

And I totally agree.

On PD day, we were told to create a language. Soon afterwards, it became apparent that she actually wanted us to create a code. A very simple code.
I muttered about how this was not a 'language'. :P

And, yes. :) :)

You put it beautifully, though. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: I also have a tendency to overthink things. XD It can be annoying.

You just have to say 'Little Mix' in a French accent . . . the way the were doing it, the 'Mix' sounded like 'Meex.' :P

You're beautiful. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star - My teacher was trying to translate it into French, and then she came up with the actual translation but she didn't think it was that because it's a band, so then she just told me to say Little Mix :P

On the bright side, I'm halfway done with school! I'm counting down... Less than 100 days left. Around 80, I think.
AND STILL
My friends don't invite me to anything. Grr.
It does make sense though...
I think that I should stop drinking cold lemonade when I'm trying to stay warm. It's making me colder :(

But lemonade/sprite concoction is fabulous?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Can you warm it up, Adra? Or would that make it taste bad?

#ChaseForBook9

Hey Ari! *hugs*

It really is :)

And I rather to stay on the colder side. Or, if hot, maybe in the 80s. (F)

I don't have a heater. I'm in a car :P

But I ought to try that sometime...
Er
I don't know what would happen

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Ay, that's true, Fabi. Rain is really nice. Storms are better, though. In my opinion, that is.

I have, actually. They didn't really answer, so I might just leave it at that

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I'm currently having something similar, actually... Hot water with a bit of lemon juice in it, only honey instead of sugar. Feels really good on a sore throat.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Mmm, I like rain too. I actually can't think of any sort of weather that I don't like. I mean, hurricanes and tornadoes hurt people, so that's bad, but I'm still pretty in awe of them.

#ChaseForBook9

Hello Snow~~~

Fabi- honey is really nice in tea. Peppermint tea, especially.
Yum

Snow said...

Rian??? Did someone say rain?

That exactly what I need right now.... 30 degrees Celsius..... -.-'

*cuddles Coco bear* Huh. DYNAMITE *aims it at France and has already blown up England*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I used to want to be a meteorologist. That was my dream in second and third grade...

Fourth grade was page year I actually went to public school, though, and we had jobs, and I got to be class meteorologist, because I was the only one who wanted to, and I had some...not so good experiences.

Noelle said...

Meteorology is fun, Fabi- I'd probably hire you
Yeah
I'd hire you

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I don't really like mint tea...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Laughs]

I appreciate that.

Tbh, though, I have too many career ideas and things I want to do...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Hey Zaf!

Yeah, Star's friends were definitely out of bounds there. At least she didn't get in any trouble, though. It doesn't really matter what the head of school thinks as long as they don't try to change her.

I'm not you, Adra, and so I'm not going to tell you what to do- it's really up to you. But if you just leave it, it'll probably still end up hurting you. But, you know, do whatever you think will be best for you.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

I've always wanted to be a teacher. I don't know why. Just, at 5 when I started school and they said the typical "what do you want to be when you're older?" And every other girl was saying "princess" or "vet", I saod teacher and it's just stuck.

Noelle said...

Fabi, you should join me and Red as crime fighters.

And- that's a good point, Ari. I would go further into depth right now... But that takes up a lot of time. But I'll definitely think about that.

Snow said...

... I try not to talk to my friends about the way I think, because tthey'd probably do the same as star's friends.

Noelle said...

I probably will be an anthropologist.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I've been pretty consistent in my life with career ideas, I think. I changed a few times, but circled around the same things. There were some different ones when I was really little, though. When I was 2, I wanted to be a shark. (I should ask Sir how he does it. XD) When I was 3, I became obsessed with dinosaurs and wanted to be a paleontologist. Then for a bit I wanted to be a vet. In third grade I started researching Tesla and decided I wanted to become an inventor. The summer after third grade, I decided I wanted to be an author. (Third grade was a really pivotal year in my life.) I also wanted to be a professional ballerina. And for a few years going into and including middle school, I wanted to be a strategic general. I used to know a lot more about military strategy than I do now, but I've retained a good bit of it, I think. At that time, though, it wasn't just strategic general- my plan was to be a ballerina for a few years, then stop because you can't be a ballerina for that long anyway, and then after that become either an inventor or strategic general. And during all of those professions, I would write on the side. Now, I want to be an author and an electrical engineer (because I've learned engineer is basically the new word for inventor). So I've circled around the same things for some time.

*hugs Ari and Snow* Thanks. :)

It was mostly this one friend of mine. :P

And YES. Out of bounds. THANK YOU.

:)

Thank you.

*nods*

I think it could be kind of cool to hear voices, but I DON'T.
Gosh. :P

Also, that schizophrenia test is invalid if I am bipolar, because having different mental disorders can affect your test results. YAH.

On an unrelated note, check out this website:
en.akinator.com

These girls in IT were looking at it.

You think of somebody and then answer questions and then they tell you who it is and it's like O_O.
The girls in IT were doing actors and stuff.
I just did Avenged Sevenfold's lead guitarist, Synyster Gates, and it's just like O_O when it pops up.
(One of the questions asked me if they wore a mask, though, and that question made me happy, because it's obviously Slipknot-related.)

(Yeah. CRIME FIGHTERS THOUGH.
We can be like Bruce Wayne.
I remember I used to want to be a vet. Then author (still do) then I was into forensics and crime solving.
I always fancied myself to be good, strategically wise... But the army? Meh. That requires vigorous exercise.

Hmm...

And now, anthropology :)

Noelle said...

(Akinator is the best :P

I wish I could. Maybe one, perhaps. That's be cool, to have someone to talk to whenever I wanted :)

Star Inkbright said...

I JUST DID PERRIE FROM LITTLE MIX AND THE LAST QUESTIONS ASKED ME IF THEY WERE DATING ONE OF THE ONE DIRECTION MEMBERS. XD

Star Inkbright said...

*QUESTION

Oh, I don't know what I want to be, and I never really have. :)

@Adra: I know what you mean. :)

*nods to Fabi's wanting to do so many things* Human lifetimes can really be so short, when you think about it. My biggest problem thus far, if I only include problems in my life, is that I love too many things. I can't possibly do all of them in a human lifetime.

Jay: *laughs* I do not see anyone helping you.

Noelle said...

(Ay..
I did Edward Elric.

"Have you lost a leg and your brother?"
Me: *begins to sob*)
(It's a good site :p)

Snow said...

ASDFGHJKLASDFGUJKLJGSGDUWK I was thinking of the doctor and it's just like... the last question, when none of them before had had anything to do with the doctor was, does your character think bowties are cool

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Noelle said...

*Shrugs on a longer coat, continuing to play*

Noelle said...

(That's quite a lot, Fabi :3 good for you, you worldly person)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You know, Zaf, if you want, I can just tell you what he thinks about things. That's still not the same as hearing his thoughts, though, I know.

You could move to Venice and become a glassblower, Fabi. They're epic. Murano island is famous for it.

Also, I definitely want to travel.

Oh, are we slipping into roleplay?

I think I'll skip the scene with Fabi and Liz, 'cause I don't know what to write, tbh. If my voice wasn't so blaaaah, I'd get Nelnah to help me act if out. Maybe I'll post it on Nameless.

Anyway, I'm gonna fast-forward so my characters are at the same point in time as the rest of you. :-P

(What does Nic think of just...well me? I've always wondered what he thinks of me. (Er you may wanna post that on the next post)
