Colour Pencils

As you all know, I have just been to Canada. I didn’t see any moose (or meese), but there were tons of Canadian Geese and quite a few squirrels, and tons of photos. And yeah, I will post photos on a certain thread.

I also went to New York, and guess who I saw in real life? Starla! Yay, that was an awesome day.

But anyway, I wrote something based on real life recently. A very short vignette that will go well with any grape juice you will be drinking today. I also wrote a prompt-based story, but that can wait for the Four Island Fiction Archive [yay!].

And no offence to anybody!

Yay, Four Island’s up – and I have chosen to celebrate by posting the 9/10 page long monstrousity that is the story I have been working on during the holidays. It’s vaguely related to the True Falsities plot, and is rather… strange. Oh, and I just randomly added the colours.

So… presenting:

Welcome to TF Land

But not very much in the mood for posting… I’ve decided to put Spacies (the lone chapter I posted two posts ago) on indefinate hiatus, as I have lost a lot of interest. Agh…

But what can I post about? The swimming carnival last week, where we poked TimTam 48923009480234 times? Or the Open Day where Mr. Skepper was totally not cool? Or Slumdog Millionaire and the sleepover at Sam’s house where they painted my nails black and made my hair all poofy? Or the fact that they now want to do unimaginable things to my hair now?

I’ll start with the Open Day, as the only notable thing in the carnival was the fact TimTam nearly got bruised by our pokage.

Okay… I had to play in a band in the morning, and Mr. Skepper was talking to the audience and was ‘picking’ on us [the section of my instrument which, if you're reading this, you should know and if you don't GO AWAY RANDOM STRANGER] which he doesn’t usually as the three Sax’s (who are… funny and include Ben) get more flak and I really need to breathe now as this is a runon sentance which is bad in English Class. *breathe*

Then I had 30 min break, in which I found TimTam dissecting a computer, found Pyro walking around, found a giant cookie that needed to be eaten and found TimTam again with Pyro, which predictably lead to a poking spree.

And then I had science, where I was in charge of dissecting a smelly slamon! Oops, not Atlantic Slamon, a carp [would get in trouble if I dissected a student, but I was tempted...]. The good thing was that this guy who had taken 2 hours to dissect it had dissected most of it. Bad thing was the crowd of Y7s who were all like “Can I poke it? Can I touch the eye? Can I burst the air bladder? EEEEWWWWWW YOU’RE TOUCHING IT!”. I was accompanied by this Y7, though, which was good as she knew the annoying Y7s.

A memorable line: Student: “Can I dissect it?” Her: “I’ll dissect you!” *waves scalpel at student*

I was certainly tempted. Oh, and if you came around and saw the gills floating in a jar, IT WAS MEE. I took the gill out [to the cries of “EEEWWW YOU’RE TOUCHING IT”] and put it in a little plate, then Ms. A**l put the gill into the jar where it floofed up. So if you saw it, yay!

Then I had freeeee time. Pyro had to go, so I was alone until I found Timbo94, then he had to go, then my parents came and yaay.

Okay, you can find out about the sleepover at Sammi’s blog, which is here. Yay.

And now I’m scared and need your help. This is the question that may change my life – Would my hair look good in red or blond highlights, and wouldn’t I look stupid with layers/a ‘bomb’ haircut like Crystal/a fringe/if I changed my hair at all? Sammi and Pyro are very interested in my hair, and I need your help… D:

Bing! BingBingBingBingBing!

BingBingBing!

This is the first Pigeon Report of the year, so yay! And also, I have not given up on the story. I’m just trying to formulate  the plot.

I finished the first chapter of the story, and I want you to comment. If you like it, then I’ll continue it, if not, then I won’t. Oh, and if you’ve noticed the stories page up there, you should check it out. It has all my stories there!

I’m thinking of writing a story. I have a draft prologue/first chapter (written in Malaysia) that I want to rewrite, and I have an idea in my head. I’m not sure if I want to write it, as it’s a bit… weird, but it’s an idea. It’s fantasy, takes place in a (possibly) made up world and if I write it, it will have 4 – 20 chapters, I can’t decide. :S One of these days, maybe tomorrow, I’m going to finish the chapter the way I like it and post it so that you can (honestly) say you love it or hate it. :S

And in other news, um… I was going to post something, but my mind blanked out! O_O Anyway, if you’ve posted and haven’t seen your comment appear yet, it’s probably in my Spam cue which I dare not check because every time I do, something happens, like the computer dying on me or a parent attack! And Hatki, if you read this, can you pleease update my blog to 2.7.1? *puppy dog grin*

I think. Sorry, I’ve been too lazy and jet lagged the last few days to actually blog on my blog, so sorry! I’ll write a post on Malaysia next week, when I can resize all those photos from Malaysia (not much). Actually, I’ll talk about Malaysia now (and the dream/story I had this morning) and post the photos later. One day.

Malaysia is a HOT HOT place, being in South East Asia and nearer the equator than Mel- Australia, lolz [the recent heatwave, though...]. It’s a nice place, with it’s own subspecies of cats [who can sleep in drains and haz short tails!] and relatives coming out the ears. Yeah, I got quite a bit of money from red packets.

Did you know that there are fifteen days of Chinese New Year? The eve of Chinese New Year, you have a renuion dinner. The first day, you don’t do any work or sweep anything away, lest you sweep away the good luck.You also eat vegetarian, which in Malaysia and Chinese means Mock Chicken, Mock Duck, Mock Anything, some vegetables and rice. Mock Chicken is delicious, by the way. It tastes almost like the real thing! And you get red packets on the first day. The second day is when you open the year, when you eat meat and visit people. Third day is the day when some people get to be anti-social and not visit people. Fourth day is… I forget. And we left on the fifth day.

We didn’t get to see very many Lion Dances there, but they’re always awesome. Expecially when they do all those tricks, like the stepladder thingy.

Everyone speaks Malaysian and English there. Salamat Detang is ‘welcome’, Keluar is ‘exit’ and… I dunno. I went to Malacca and that’s a nice place, with nice relatives. Apparently, there’s a ghost in one of these shopping center carparks there, a ghost of a woman in red. OoooooooOOOOh!

And I have a pet tortoise there. He’s called Tortie, which is sooo imaginative.  And, yeah. That is Malaysia. Now I will type teh weirdness that happened this morning.

This morning (I had a 9:00 appointment, so I slept in!),  I woke up and thought of a story where our reality was breaking up and people were turning into people from other realities, fictional realities. This weird and crazy girl called Eva could see into other realities, and had brought Meta Knight into our reality to protect her from something (in one version, it was the lava Digimon, in another it was Gaikoz from GC, and there were explosions). Angie, her friend, was rather freaked out.

Then, in my sleep deprived state, I brought Timbo94 into the story as a random kid in Angie’s class. Because of the breaking realities thing (and the fact I binged on Wikipedia Cardcaptor Sakura (which Timbo is obsessed about) pages and I thought that one of the characters sounded like Timbo’s last name), he  transformed into Sakura of the Cardcaptor Sakura anime and she wasn’t very happy (Kero, that winged lion/monkey/cutething was there too).

Then, after a bit, I fell asleep and alternated between a full dream and half-lucidity and I was dreaming about the story. When I was half-lucid, I could change some parts of the story but when I was dreaming I couldn’t. I was there instead of Angie (when I was asleep, when I was half-lucid I subsituted myself with Angie) .  Sakura/Timbo94 and Kero were looking for a Card  in my house, and I was on the computer. She was thinking that the card was in the walls in my house, and I was… doing something and was a little annoyed that they didn’t seem to want to talk to me. They were looking all around the house and stuff.

Then we all appeared in a carnival.  There was a giant panda ride that came to life, and Meta Knight flew up and killed it. I went on a swing ride with Sakura and Kero (which made me uncomfortable, because she was supposed to be Timbo94 but…), and we were talking about something.  We went to the panda ride which was now a tower ride. Then we went up, did some things, went down and I think I fell properly asleep.

So I think I was half-lucid (which makes this my second lucid dream, I think) and I think I know how to be half-lucid; be really sleep deprived (my brother woke us up at 5!) and really engage yourself in a thought, like a story. And I now have the urge to write a story about the whole Timbo94/Sakura thing, after I finish my True Falsity.

EDIT: I finished teh Falsity, but something’s funky with my account… The Falsity is very insane, and I am now addicted to a song I heard 100 times in Malaysia, Right Now (na na na) by Akon. So YAY.

Thank god for places with Wi Fi! At the moment, I’m in a cafe drinking hot chocolate and blogging on my iPod Touch, as my computer’s gone flat. It’s been an okay few days as I’m now staying in my grandparents house. There isn’t any Internet connection there, but I’ll survive, thanks to the Chicken Game!

There’s been a fewawesome things in Malaysia so far, like Iced Milos in McDonalds, and now I have to go so bye…

Yay. The good thing is that nothing bad happened to the plane, while the bad thing is that I’m 3 hours behind of Melbourne and… a lot of hours behind Smerica. I mean America.

The 8 hour plane trip was kinda boring. I spent the time looking after fish on my iPod Touch, reading, watching Finding Nemo and Ratatouille and sleeping.

And now I’m in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Well, next week I see a lot of funds coming in, though…

Okay, I’m still alive. However, I have to go to Malaysia to see the relatives tomorrow… And for Chinese New Year (Red Packets!), but is the money worth the trip? Probably.

Anyway, I have been really busy packing and playing GC, lol, so I haven’t really been blogging. Two days ago, I went to Sammii’s house with the Pyriz to watch two movies – Mamma Mia and The Dark Knight. That means that, while disturbing images from Mamma Mia have been popping up in my head, they usually pop up at the same time as the really catchy tunes from The Dark Knight. Or was it the other way around? Lol.

I promise to take loads of pictures from Malaysia to entertain you guyz and girlz, so yay.
