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!

Read the rest…

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.
