Fun Times

Wow.

What a few days.

The Requiem Ball was beautiful chaos. People came in ballgowns and jeans and tuxedos and T-shirts, but everyone was wearing a mask, and everyone was equal. The Bleeding Heart Crypt was where the first book was launched, way back in 2007, and so it was a fitting venue to see off the final part of the series. I laughed, I chatted, I posed for selfies, and then I signed.

And it was a good day.

The signings in Ringwood and Bournemouth were great fun, and of course Bluewater was as manic as ever (five and half hours of signing books and chatting to people... yikes...). On Sunday I did my first event for this tour, and I read out a few bits that had been cut from the first book, all those years ago. And then I signed for a few more hours.

And the response has been exactly what I was hoping for. The one thing that was so vital to me was to give the series a fitting end — an ending it deserved. My mission was to both confirm and confound your expectations, and by what I've been reading online, it looks like I've succeeded.

And the most awesome thing? The lack of spoilers. Sure, there are spoilers out there, but most people have been really considerate of others. Even in the Spoiler Zone to this very blog, folks are content to talk AROUND the subject, rather than address it directly. This is HUGELY appreciated.

The book has been selling really well, from what I hear. I loved the excitement generated around the Black Edition — minions were waiting for stores to open and then rushing inside, trying to find those hidden tomes. It was, in a word, awesome.

And now I'm wrecked.

*sigh*
I start school on Wednesday. And tomorrow I won't have WiFi for most of the day....
At least I'm at the top of me school. And, according to my mom, I will have my favorite teacher (who told me the teacher she was long term subbing for last year was rotting in the attic! :))))
With the same carzy class! Witch is weird but sounds awesome!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Shoot.
Well, I dedicate this page to Lucy because she is amazing and deserves a dedication and someone was supposed to do it on an earlier page.

Also, to my teacher who told me when I grow up I can't do anything with knives especially be a surgeon or a cook. She said that if I'm a surgeon she worries what I'll do to people and if I'm a cook I'd cook people. She also was a long term sub and told me the teacher she was subbing for was rotting in the attic.

(Just when you think that you're doing good in class, you're above and beyond what you've learned in class.

Teach: I haven't covered volume in class yet.
Me: But I understand that. I'm taking my genius to the next level.
Teach: Get rid of it. Start again. You only write down what you covered on this lesson.

*Few minutes later*

Teach: Okay class, now we shall be doing volume.
Me: *Stares in hatred*)

Jophiel said...

(Woo! Hear hear!)

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

I love you too.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Oh that's mean. She should be glad you understand it!!)
And really, I don't think you had one. I think you called me Duggy.

Jophiel said...

*She looked at Loki, her head tilted to the side slightly. She frowned and pulled his head down to hers, leaving mere millimeters between their lips*

You're beautiful. I'm so happy we're together.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Maybe, just to spite her, I'll become a surgeon. It would be hilarious. And then when I kill someone and she hears about it in the paper she'll be like, yep. I told her not to do it. I knew it was a bad idea.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Hey Zaffy, Loki, and crew.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Oh gosh. I'm planning to kill someone. Great.....

Jophiel said...

(I called you something else for a while... A tiny little while... I remember because I was laughing about it before... Maybe I didn't tell you...

I definitely had one!)

Jophiel said...

(Dug, I'm sitting beside someone who has planned my murder. We both agreed on it. She's going to be a mass murderer. It's all cool, though. We're friends.

I think...)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(I don't think you told me...
Well you can always think of a new one! And if you remember the old one then you'll have two nicknames for me!)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(XD She sounds cool.)

Jophiel said...

(I will!!

And she is odd...)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Sounds like she is....

I'm looking through my notes and I have a while bunch of Blogland quotes and I just found this...

Blogger Silente Tempest said...
I mean sure kill someone, dig up their grave, ruffle through its pockets, pee in their brother's ashes and set alight their family home, THAT I can deal with.

BUT NOT EQUALLY SPLITTING YOUR SOUL?! IT'S A SELF VIOLATION, NEVER MIND RUDE TO THE VICTUM!

Jophiel said...

(*Snickers*)

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

I'm glad we are too,Rose.

Jophiel said...

*She kissed him softly before she pulled away, leaning her head on his chest, listening to his heart*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

And this one....

Oh and Dug NO HUGGING ME! Also its rude to poop and run, you shouldn't do that.

And I forget if it was Elleni or Silente but one of them didn't realize I meant Poof not poop. XD

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

I am alive, I promize.

Jophiel said...

(XD)

I know you're alive, but your heartbeat is comforting...

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Do you have a nickname idea?)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Gtg but if you think of an idea, I do read back!)

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

That is something I never thought of.

Jophiel said...

(You are now known as Chev.)

Jophiel said...

Well it is. It's nice. Heartbeat means you're alive and here right now. It means that you're mine.

*She turned her face to look up at him*

And I love you.

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

I love you too, Rose. I love you so much.

Jophiel said...

*She laughed quietly*

I love you too, Loki.

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

Good. Now...I ought to...make sure my sister is not dead.

Jophiel said...

*She pulled away from him and nodded*

And I'll go find Astrid. I'll be back soon.

*She smiled and started to walk away. Then she stopped and looked back at Loki*

Where would she be...?

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

Her room, I assume.

Zanida: *is pretty much okay*

That hurt.

Jophiel said...

*She walked off towards Loki's room, then kept going to the room after. She knocked on the door*

Hey Astrid? You know how I love you and everything...?

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

Astrid: Who killed who?

Jophiel said...

SHIELD almost killed Zan and Loki. See, Loki and I went over to kick Fury's butt, but Loki sent me away and then he and Zanida got smashed...

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

Astrid: Alright...they'll recover with rest. I need to get Zan inside and you get Loki.

Jophiel said...

Okay.

*She walked back outside and looked over at Loki. She took his hand and started to pull him slowly after her*

Feeling better...?

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

I do...just want to lay down....

Jophiel said...

Then lay down! I can take you.

*She repulsed the gravity beneath him and continued walking, taking him beside her*

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

It's- this is actually nice. *laughs*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Why Chev?)

Jophiel said...

Of course it is! Because I'm a genius. Now, stay still.

*She walked to Loki's room and placed him on the bed*

(Because it was the number 1 zombie survival car)

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

*cries* I have to sleep so I don't kill someone tomorrow morning...night guys *shuffles away crying I dont wanna go to school-Zaf

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Night Zaffy....:(

Ok, that makes sense! (Ish..)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Ugh....
I feel nauseous.....
Hopefully I'm just really hungry.
There is homemade s'more ice cream cake for dessert and I start school on Wednesday...

Jophiel said...

(Goodnight, Zaf.
<3)

(The zombie in your name, Chev.)

Jophiel said...

(*Cuddles Chev*)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Ok, that's what I thought.

*cuddles back*
I also could be thirsty. The only liquid I've had all day is one cup of hot chocolate. But the water tastes horrible here. So I'm eating ice.

How are you feeling? Have you ate or drank anything yet?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Gtg!

Jophiel said...

Haven't drank anything yet... Chewing gum now... And had a little bit of dinner... Still not feeling too great...

Jophiel said...

Aw, sorry... Bye!

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

Would anyone be terribly upset if I just scrapped my entire roleplay plot?

Jophiel said...

*Raises hand from the shadows*

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

Huh...

Jophiel said...

I like reading over them. When it's quiet, I like reading them.

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

I hardly ever write them, though... And everyone's so busy with their own plots, and there are actually not a lot of people who still comment regularly who even know Fabi.
Also, she's dead, which makes it hard to write.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Well, I like Specs and the other characters you've made. But if you don't want to continue its fine, but if you do keep writing them I will happily read and role play along!

@Deathy :( well at least you had something to eat... though I'd recommend drinking water. Or any other kind of liquid. Dehydration sucks.

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

Hewitt... People know who Hewitt is. I guess that's something.

I still can't find the motivation to write, though...

Which of my other characters have you met?

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

I should go now bye

Snow said...

(okay. i am well and truly confused.
recently we did a math test. and i knew i got the last two questions wrong, but i also got one in the middle wrong when the teacher handed them back. and yet i still somehow got well above standard (in terms for you Americans, A+).

and, like... i don't get how. because i got three wrong. and the last two were extra ones so you could get above (B-A) and i got them wrong. yet somehow i managed to get well above and...???)

Elleni the Ghost said...

@Fabi: Me!!

Snow said...

okay, how does this sound:


She sat in the corner of the café, looking out at the crowd.
It’s not that she didn’t like being in places like this – though, really, she didn’t – it was the fact that she was alone. Every time she wanted to do something with her friends, they always seemed to be busy.

And so, instead of being with friends and possibly enjoying herself, Alex was sitting in a crappy café, alone. Sighing, she sipped her tea and thought of the millions of other things you could be doing.

Suddenly, a voice was breaking the silence of her thoughts and pulling her back into reality. “Hi.”

She glanced up, wondering who it was that had decided to break the peace.

A man about her age, maybe 18, stood next to her table and smiled at her. He was good looking, with blue eyes and a kind of orangey-brown hair. He was about average height, she guessed, and probably the same with weight. Sighing internally, she could see where this was headed, but to be polite, replied anyway.

“Hi,” she said, not really bothering to keep the slight annoyance out of her voice. She took another sip of her drink and tried hard not to scream when he sat down.

“I’m Will,” he said, still smiling. “And you are…?”

This time, Alex did sigh. “Why would I tell you? You’re a complete stranger. For all I know, you could be a serial killer.”

Will frowned. “I’m not a serial killer. I came here with friends.”

“That doesn’t exactly prove that you’re not a serial killer. You could lead a normal life, killing away from the people who know you, having them never suspect a thing. Or you could all be serial killers. It could be a big, serial killer meeting, for all I know. You could be talking about all your kills and plans and the like”

Will chuckled a bit. “And what, pray tell, are the actual chances of me being a serial killer?”

“Hmm” Alex thought for a bit, “ maybe one in a thousand”

Before Will could reply to that, she added, “though there are more than a thousand people in the world, which makes that one in a thousand chance a lot more likely. That’s something people don’t realize, one in a thousand chances happen a lot more than the name would suggest.”

He looked at her for a moment before sighing.

“Why do I get the distinct feeling that I’m being rejected before I even get the chance to start flirting?”

“Probably because you are getting rejected before you get the chance to start flirting.” She shrugged, not seeing the point in being anything but frank with him.

Frowning, he hung his head, and Alex went back to looking around the room, thinking.

About ten minutes later, she looked back at her table and was surprised to find Will still there.

“Why’re you still here?” She asked, raising her eyebrow at him.

Will was looking at her, and when she spoke, he smiled. “I don’t give up easily.”

Alex looked at him for a minute before slamming her forehead on the table.

“I’m going to regret this,” she mumbled into the table. She lifted her head a bit and sat it on her folded arms. “Alex,” she mumbled, “my name’s Alex.”

Jophiel said...

(*Cheers*

Need. More.)

Snow said...

(um....)

Jophiel said...

(In other words...

*Squeals, tackles the story and demands it becomes longer so she can keep reading awesomeness*

Ahem...)

Snow said...

(but...

what??

...

it's

it's not

that

good???

at least...

i thought...

what???)

Jophiel said...

I LOVE IT!!!

I WANT TO READ MORE BECAUSE I LOVE IT!!

Snow said...

butttttttt


*hugs rose* you praise me too much. it's not that good.

Jophiel said...

*Cuddles back*

*Checks on the story to make sure it didn't suddenly grow more because she would possibly eat it to consume its amazingness and so she can think about it "in depth"*

*Laughs quietly at her own joke that Snow totes didn't hear*

It's awesome, my dear.

Snow said...

*shakes head* I have to get back to writing now. i'll try to finish it. I'll put it on my blog when it's done.

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

It's improved considerably since the last draft. :-)

Jophiel said...

*Squeals in excitement and becomes Snow's Blog #1 fan*

Jophiel said...

I hate hunting... I find it so morally wrong and disturbing. The taking of a life... It shouldn't happen.

But if there wasn't hunting, then we wouldn't be here today. We would be strange creatures, akin to apes due to the different diet.

But I just... It shouldn't still happen today. I don't believe it should still happen to those in the wild....

Jophiel said...

Bye...

Jophiel said...

There is literally no point in attending I & E anymore. They said that if you don't do work experience, then you don't pass.

The place I've been trying to do work experience at hasn't returned my calls or my emails. And I've got three weeks left.

So now, the backup place. The hospital. That isn't accepting anyone this late. And my teacher had to say really loudly, 'It's your fault you left it this late.'

So I'm not going to go to I & E anymore. Because I can't fucking pass it, no matter how much I try.

Dragona Pine said...

(Rose - stick with it. Quitting WILL get you nowhere, definitely. At least if you try, you have a chance at passing rather than if you'd not turn up at all.)

Dragona Pine said...

(I'm so tired.)

Dragona Pine said...

(I'm still here, for the record.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Dug poop and run accusation was me I think.
HEY PEOPLE ANYONE HERE?)

Dragona Pine said...

(Hey Silente!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hey! Wanna finish the Manuel/Sophia rp?)

Dragona Pine said...

(Sure.)


Sophia: Sometimes you have to take a chance. What's the worst that could happen?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Manuel: I could get slapped. Or shot. Or both.

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia: Slaps aren't too bad. And I definitely wouldn't shoot.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Manuel: Slaps with biotics are a bit different...

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia: I think in the morning I would be too busy trying to cure a hangover to generate a mass effect field. Just take a little risk.

Dragona Pine said...

(It's kind of funny what her stages of drunkenness seem to be. Niceness, depressed and then playful.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Manuel: *blinks* you most likely won't remember this anyway with the amount of alcohol you've consumed...

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia: So?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Yeah. It's VERY confusing for Manuel..)

Dragona Pine said...

(I think it's confusing for me. :P)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Manuel: So...so...*slides slightly away from her on the bed* forgive me. But I cannot take advantage of someone's inhibition for my own personal gain.

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia: See? Politeness does get you nowhere. I'm not that drunk. I'm pretty sure I could work out what happened when I wake up. Just because I might not remember it doesn't mean it isn't for my gain as well.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Manuel: *looks at her* Many people regret their actions once the inhibitation wears off and end up resenting the people involved. I would rather wait to see if certain feelings are reciprocated when sober that take advantage of ones intoxication..

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia: Many people do. I might not. You don't know. Maybe the risk is worth taking.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Manuel: Commander I cannot be sure that what you are saying is what you actually want when sober. It would be wrong to take advantage of you in your current state.

(gotta hand it to him he's persistent)

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia: If it isn't what I want when I'm sober, I know it'll be my own fault.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Manuel: It wouldn't be only your fault. I would be partially to blame.

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia: No, it wouldn't. Come on, I'm a Spectre, I have a strong sense of responsibility.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Manuel: you also have a strong inhibitation.

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia: It isn't that strong. I'll let you know if I regret it tomorrow and we'll never speak of it again. Simple as that.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Manuel: That is rather simple...and harmless...


(shit. Gtg. We shall continue this tonight!)

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia: Completely.


(Bye Silente!)

Dragona Pine said...

(Seems I have to go now. Bye!)

Jophiel said...

Dragona, I can't complete the subject. I literally can't. I'm missing the main point of it because this business is too lazy to respond to my emails or my phone calls.

I was going to go to bed early. Then Pirates of the Caribbean came on. Needless to say, all plans were abolished.

Ok, my mistake. There were just some guys who didn't believe I was in a book.

So... what's been happening?

Star Inkbright said...

DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I WAS ON IN YOUR TIME! :P

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

OMG THEY ACTUALLY MADE SCHOOL INTO A PRISON!!!
Bolted down tables and chairs in the dining hall
Only certain shoes allowed
Proper trousers, no zips or back pockets allowed
Clip on ties
Exactly the right equiptment or isolation
Isolation if you don't have the right uniform
Only allowed to sit in fours or sixes in the dining hall
Scaffolding on the top of the tallest building for no reason (we presume its to stop people jumping)
Slaving away all day
I swear this is getting out of hand.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

And those shoes...ouch! Blisters on both foot! My toes have been CRUSHED. The SQUEAK when you step! And i think I have blisters inbetween my toes from the feel of it. I'm going to have Wicked Witch of the West feet by the end of the school year!

Dragona Pine said...

(Hello. On briefly.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: Oh my gosh. XD
I remember when me and Eve used to call school 'prison', but we were JOKING. O_O

Hey Dragona. :)

Dragona Pine said...

(I'm on the bus atm.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Sorry food came up.
@Star you have noooooo idea. My feet are KILLING me right now!

Dragona Pine said...

(Interesting and random conversation I had with my friend today.
Friend: Are Catholics vampires?
Me: What?
Friend: They drink the blood of Jesus.
Me: That's wine.
Friend: But Catholics believe that it transforms into blood.
Me: They believe the bread is his body, but they're not cannibals.
Friend: Yes they are.
Me: If they're vampires, and they eat Jesus, that doesn't make them a cannibal.
Friend: Unless Jesus was a vampire.
Me: I doubt he was, somehow.
Friend: He was a vampire vineyard owner.
Me: Um, okay.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(XD you have great conversations.)

Dragona Pine said...

(Yes, we do. Later in the day he said, "We learned about vampires in history!"
Then whilst waiting for the bus, "If someone had told me they actually ate people I'd have joined the religion before now.")

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(XD)
(It must be a fun place inside your friends head.)

Dragona Pine said...

(It must be... He was playing with model dinosaurs in Geology. He was discussing which would win in a fight - a t-rex riding a brachiosaurus, or an oversized stegosaurus. All he did throughout the lesson was that.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Oh gosh. XD XD XD

@Silente: :( :(
*hugs her feet*
Maybe get some new shoes?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I'm trying not to spoil my friend Izzy but it's so hard... *whines*

Still slowly making it through the book though. I'm kind of putting it off so I don't have to finish the series, although I'm just delaying the inevitable.

Thanks for an amazing five years of obsessing over books, Derek. See you in Limerick on the 14th once again, hopefully ^_^

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(XD He sounds like a laugh. Who did he decide on?
Also wanna continue?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hey Mara! *hugs*
@Star can't. They have to be REAL shoes. Leather. Not past the ankle. They were the only ones in the shoe shop that weren't open toe. Winter is coming. I am NOT wearing open toe shoes in England. Never mind in winter.)

Dragona Pine said...

(He decided on the t-rex riding the brachiosaurus. I quote, "The brachiosaurus would bitch slap the stegosaurus with its face and it'd fall off a cliff and get eaten by squirrels."
My response was, "There are no squirrels underneath the table."
Then he said, "Of course not. We use origami swans to represent them."


Maybe in a while. When I get home. :P)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(XDDDDDD omg. He's amazing. Your friend is amazing. And a genius.

Kk.)

Star Inkbright said...

MARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

*screams and tacklehugs*
HI!!!!!!!!!! :)

@Silente: Can't they be fake leather . . . ?
Also - most shoe shops have tons of school shoes, even for people my size, although my shoe size is rather small . . . they're really expensiev, but if you buy cheap shoes they just kind of die and you haev to buy like five pairs a year, so . . . :/
Also, if they're leather, then they WILL get softer the most you wear them. Try polishing them - that makes them softer. Idk, do you have shoe polish? My dad likes polishing shoes . . . but anyway. :) If you're getting blisters, just put plasters on and wear thick socks, I guess. :/

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: XD XD XD He sounds great. XD

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I have very small feet. People think its cute. People think I'M cute. Which is very weird cause loads of them think I'll be a psychopath when I'm older...)

Dragona Pine said...

(Yesterday he said, "I watched high school musical at the weekend"
I was like, "Why the hell would you watch that?"
Him: It was in the Saw case and I wasn't concentrating.
Me: It's a little hard to confuse them.
Him: No, they're both on my horror shelf.)

Dragona Pine said...

(I have big feet... 14, I think. It depends. Sometimes a little larger, sometimes a little smaller.)

(Well, then you'll get more shoes in expensive kids' shoe shops like Startrite and Clark's. :))

(I have size four feet. So does my sister, so does my brother . . . XD It's funny.
My brother'll probably overtake us soon. :(

My friend B has size three shoes.
C has size nine shoes. XD)

(*nods* that is a wise place to put high school musical.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: OH GOSH XD XD XD XD
*laughs* :P

@Dragona: Woah. O_O
That's ten sizes bigger than me. O_O

Dragona Pine said...

(YOU'RE ALL SO SMALL AND CUTE.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(..*casually sat here with size one feet* yeah. Size four. So small....)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: Awwh. :P
*hugs*

Dragona Pine said...

(So SMALL.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(And I was right btw. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAS GROWN. I was already small around them and they had the audacity to GROW! I swear to god its getting depressing how small I am.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: Small people are cool.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(WE AIN'T SMALL YOU'RE JUST TALL! #midgetindenial)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@star all my friends are at least a head taller than me.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: C says she's not tall, we're just small . . .
Apparently I AM small.
Well.
Adra said I was short, and I told C, and C said that I was short, but she just didn't tell me because B was notoriously shorter than any human being she'd ever seen.

Well then. :P

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: You and B should compare heights. :P

Sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I have so many ways to make fun of people's height but I've never actually tried consolation before. My head is all empty in that department. :P

Dragona Pine said...

(I'm quite a lot taller than most of my friends... Well, it's expected at 6ft 7.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Yes
it is a bit. :P

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(-_-)
(I hope I grow one day. I hope I grow taller. Maybe just a normal height. Although i'd kinda like to grow enough to tower over people and be like 'YOU FOOLS! YOU THOUGHT ME SMALL! NOW YOU SHALL TREMBLE IN FEAR OF MY WRATH!')

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Draggie ....Shrink.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: Average is too average. :P

Dragona Pine said...

(There was a guy in York handing out leaflets or something and said to my mum, "Who is this, your bodyguard?")

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

My jazz shoes are size 14.

Dance shoes run really small, though.

Apparently dancers are usually petite.

[Is not petite in the slightest, unless maybe I'm standing next to my uncle, then I would probably look petite, or maybe he'd just look really tall, which would make sense because he is really tall]

My street shoes are 10 1/2, I think. That's American sizes, though. :-P

Dragona Pine said...

(Silente - in 70 years or so, yes. But until then... Probably not. Unless I can use a chainsaw.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Oh gosh. XD XD

@Lantern: I'm a six in climbing shoes. Climbing shoes are small too. They expect your shoes to be crammed into a pulp. :P

And why SHOULD dancers usually be petite?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Draggie I might have to avoid ever meeting you just due to your size...I'm sorry....)

Star Inkbright said...

*toes

Dragona Pine said...

(Silente - I'm not that scary. :P)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: XD

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Draggie Next to you I would look like an actual dwarf. Not just a small person, but a dwarf. You'd probably step on me! I'm sorry but I'm just to short to meet a giant... You'd probably be as tall as me if you were on your knees...)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Height is intimidating.

I think I was trying to be pro-short-people once (because C bullies B XD) (not seriously, as a friend), and I was saying that tall people were used to their height intimidating people, so when they met someone taller than them they didn't know what to do and lost the advantage, whereas small people are used to being at a disadvantage and so they learn to intimidate people through other means, so they are never at a disadvantage.
. . .

Star Inkbright said...

C is as tall as B when C's kneeling up and I think the height difference between Dragona and Silente would be a lot worse . . .

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

Well it's easier for lifts and stuff.

In jazz class, usually I'm the one doing the lifting, though. They could carry shoes in my size -_-

It's also easier in general for small people... If you're tall and you make the same mistake as a short person, it looks a lot worse on you.

Then again, when my sister does something flexible, it looks so much more impressive than say, Katelyn.

Star Inkbright said...

. . .
Dragona, why ARE you so tall?

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: Ahhhhhhkay. :) *nods*

Star Inkbright said...

I dedicate to height. :P

Dragona Pine said...

(Star - I have no idea. I'm taller than everyone in my family. And as a baby I was very small (five weeks early) and didn't fill my skin properly... So I absolutely have no idea.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Star let me put it this way. If Draggie is 6"7 then he's about 2 feet taller than me.)
