And...my scanner...is dead. Not good.<br /><br />Morfy's still missing...starting to get a tiny bit worried now...<br /><br />But I have worked on zer comic of doom quite a lot in the last couple of days...I've nearly finished the prologue linearts! Though I really ought to write Serial, or face the wrath of Dashka...<br /><br />Yes. So if anyone remembers where I last put Morfy...or knows how to fix a scanner... *hopeful grin*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm just changing my journal because every time I look at my current one I get depressed. And today was my last lesson at Pittern, so I really don't need more depressed-ness. <br /><br />Ah, the title! Yes, I have drawn! I know!!! Weird! Though at the moment my scanner's brain has gone AWOL so...yes.<br /><br />The human-drawing...is sort of...ish. Hmm.<br /><br />Wolf-drawing...ARGH! PAWS!<br /><br />And, I will write at some point. I've been staring at Serial for several minutes every day, working myself up to writing. Although Fluffle...is absent. Somewhere under heaps of science folders. Morfy is also absent...all six of her have disappeared, and I'm not quite sure where to...I know at some point I'll start getting very panicky about this, but right now I'm fairly calm.<br /><br />Adieu for now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I have no idea what I'm going to do. I really don't want to go anywhere else, but I don't want to give up riding...And I'm really going to miss Rachel and all the ponies...esp Harry, Billy, Moose, Archie...everyone really. <br /><br />On the brighter side: I rode Noah for the first time...he is adorable! We jumped for the first time with Rachel and it was sooo good...I love Noah, it's really depressing I'll only be able to  ride him a few more times before the stables close. And I'll probably never get to ride Moose again... *cries* and Harry...<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I had a rather odd dream last night. Basically all the characters from Randomness, Serial and Mask got into the same place (somehow)...Then someone (it was either Fray or Fall...why do all my characters begin with F???) fell off a roof and everyone else was trying to persuade Mask to sprout wings and go rescue him...and he got kind of freaked out and ran off o_0<br />No one knows who I'm talking about, since no one's read Randomness and I haven't written Mask yet...<br /><br />Anyway. Back to sanity.<br /><br />I DID actually manage to write three chapters of Serial for Dashka! So...Serial is alive again! Though I don't know if it will survive the week...argh GCSEs...I'd actually much rather write Serial. Who wouldn't? Even if Pyrus is being an annoying BUM. <br />Hopefully I will also get round to typing it up and some point, too.<br /><br />Hmm, what else...<br /><br />Ah! I still haven't finished the good-luck Morga/Mith/Corso pic, which kind of defeats the point a bit...ah well, maybe it can be a thank-god-it's-over pic instead.<br /><br />I will shut up now, since I'm sure this isn't relevant at all and anyone who bothers to read it is getting thoroughly bored.<br /><br />Oh, is it just me or does the journal page look different??? Am I just seeing things again?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Much Hilarity Ensues. Featuring guest appearances by Punctuation and the magically-appearing Corso...<br />Small Brown Horse<br />...and much more randomness!

                <description><![CDATA[ *feels odd simile approaching*<br />I feel like a zombie with a head full of mashed potato. <br /><br />Therefore.<br />1) I have written no serial, which kind of defeats the point...will have to catch up later...<br />2) I have done barely any revision and will most likely fail all mis examens.<br />3) I have fried my eyeballs by staring at a screen nearly all day, since computers require no strenuous activity other than the occasional bashing.<br /><br />And thus the mini-craze. Funfunfun. I have taken Bronzie's advice to heart and stopped neglecting my tablet! So now...the minis are invading. Sorry.<br /><br />Ehh.<br /><br />Adieu.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Warning: those who are of the easily-bored persuasion, run away! Now!<br /><br />The weirdest thing happened the other day.<br />I was on a random website, and there was this person going on about some cartoon. Now, it had a different name, but otherwise it sounded just like this thing I used to watch at my cousin's house when I was little, which is called Hopeanuoli. (Silver...uhm...arrow? I think... anyway it's about dogs.) I had a minor obsession with it when I was about five.<br />Now that is really strange as I haven't thought of it since I was little. It was like a chunk of my memories that just got filed under "Miscellaneous" and forgotten about. And now I've found out it is actually not Finnish in the first place, actually Japanese and just dubbed in Finnish! Weirdness!<br /><br />This probably is rather boring. I just had to get it out of my system.<br /><br />Now. What else was I going to say.<br />I don't know.<br />Um.<br />Well. Serial is funnn. MUST...UPLOAD... <br />Fluffle is hibernating in my schoolbag.<br />Randomness has finally passed away and is quietly decomposing under my pillow.<br />Bo...is cuteness personified! (doggyfied?)<br />I am well.<br /><br />If anyone feels like writing anything, please do so...my insp-tank is running low. I have lost the will to draw and writing is eating my brain... ooh Steph, write Kal's death scene at the hands (hooves? claws?) of Ty! Not that I want Kally to die or anything... and Arnie, write!<br /><br />*goes to write serial*<br />Anyone who reads Serial, prepare to meet Tristan AKA Wearer of the Hat on Monday!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ First of all, I've been away for the weekend, so I'm sorry if I didn't comment on anything...<br /><br />Second of all, I think our camera's broken... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> ...so no doggypics until it's fixed...<br /><br />Third of all, I shall explain the mystifying title of this journal.<br /><br />Anyone read 44 Scotland Street? By...thingy...Alexander McCall Smith...<br />It's a book. *cue gasps* But it was first published as a daily serial in a newspaper. It is very goooood.<br />So. Now we have Puppy, I can't keep my attention on much else for more than ten minutes, so I need a quick project. I'm thinking of writing a serial, a few hundred words a day...hopefully posting each bit on dA as I write it...I have characters...joy...<br /><br />Opinions? Am I a fool? Should I give in to the puppyness? Write more Fluffle? Attempt to do some more Banner-comic? Lock myself (or Bo) in another room? <br /><br />OK. Byee!<br /><br />PS: A funny quote from today. Bo was standing on my brother madly licking his face,<br />Me: Hey, mum, the puppy's savaging Nicholas...<br />Mum: (not listening): Awww.<br />Me: o_0<br />(later)<br />Me: Nicholas, be careful while Bo's savaging you...<br />Nick: I know, he's biting my ear!!<br />Me: No, you could hurt him, he's only little...<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />PPS: The cereal? I guess I'm just hungry.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, um, I just thought I hadn't written a journal in a while.<br />Then I remembered that the reason I haven't is because nothing much has really happened...<br />Unless you count me having this idea for a comic thing. And...um...nothing much else really. <br /><br />So. <br />Fluffle: nearly finished Chapter Three. Joy. <br />Morga: Finished editing (read: making up) Chapter Nine. I added a whole entire chapter! Of Morga running around after Flaisy!!! What?! And now I just have to stretch a battle that took up a paragraph in the lamentably rubbish original into an ENTIRE 2000 WORD CHAPTER!!! HOW?! More accurately, WHY? Why do I still put battles in even though I know I can't write them?<br />Yeah. Anyway...<br /><br />Well. I've been fiddling a bit more with Photoshop and wondering how Steph managed to master it in about a week. I have attempted scanning in pictures then colouring them in Photoshop. Not sure if I like the result or not. They're very...what's the word...simplified (read: two-dimensional). And does anyone know an easy way to get rid of the background colour? I'm sure there must be some ridiculously easy and obvious way of doing this, it's just that I'm a bit blind when it comes to easy and obvious solutions...<br /><br />Anyway. I'll stop now because I want to try and find out if Making Money has come out in paperback yet...*must brave the terrors of Google* If I can't buy it soon I'm actually going to go and sit in a corner of Waterstones with a hardback copy and attempt to read it without being thrown out...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm just bored.<br /><br />I haven't really written any more FLuffle...*hides from Jam and Arnie* Yes, I know, I'm a bad person. But...in the bath this evening...I had a moment of Fluffle-insp! AKA Gliersa's backstory... So maybe I will write some more.<br /><br />On the other hand...Randomness is growing at a terrifying rate...Fray has practically taken over...There are now nine pages of Fray and only two of El. And no-one knows what I'm on about so I'll just talk about something else.<br /><br />Well, I'm off to Finland on Thursday. SNOW!!! YAY!!! And, my dad is bringing his laptop...which now has Photoshop on...so I can practice with the tablet loooads...<br /><br />Oh yes and I had a riding lesson today...if anyone's interested...I was on Archie who was neurotic as usual but also tres bien... *hugs Archie* <br /><br />Drawing...well...I haven't drawn much...except some random horse heads in a different style...and random copies of a painting I found...OOH and I drew a rock in Photoshop and messed around with shading... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />I'll shut up now. Leave you in peace.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ OK. So I'm wandering along through my life, just finished Morfy, need something random to write...complete and utter writer's block. I give up, start Fluffle. Then...WHAM! Suddenly there's all these random characters with weird names like Netting and Va and they are all clamouring for me to write about them...<br /><br />Random characters: Don't write about stupid Fel and Fly...we're much cooler! Write about us!<br /><br />So now I have a nonsense-story that makes no sense lurking ominously in my blazer pocket, tempting me away from Fluffle with its randomness, nonsensicality and complete-and-utter-confusifyingness. One of the main characters is called Elspeth. Since when have I named characters Elspeth? The other is Fray. Some people *cough* Arnie *cough* may remember Fray. He was quite definitely a WOLF, last time you saw him, yes? Now he is a HUMAN. I also have a nasty feeling Sol is going to make another appearance as well. Go away, Sol, stay in your own story! Not that I write it anymore...<br /><br />Anyway. Rant over.<br /><br />Um.<br /><br />Well, I'll just go and try to write Fluffle. El and Fray will probably follow me up to bed. With a bit of luck my Fray-pen will run out. Though maybe purple and sparkly would be alright...poor Fray... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Admittedly, Fray-the-human is quite a cool character. Though, at the moment, he's "dead"...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I haven't done anything constructive in ages. Except write Fluffle.<br />Yes, so I'll just moan at you all about how I have no time.<br />Today, I spent another half hour on the battle with algebraic fractions, finished, felt very happy, got my dad to check it, and found out I'd done it all wrong. So, another evening wasted. <br />On the bright side, I now have a working, un-spammed email account! Hurrah!<br />On the down side, I have more homework. And I haven't drawn anything for ages, or gone on Photoshop because I can't really do anything in half an hour. And that's actually how long I have, after I've wrested the computer from my brother, opened Firefox, checked dA/random havens, opened Photoshop (at least 10 minutes!!!) and found somewhere to plug in the tablet. You see, my dear PC can only do one thing at a time, which is not surprising seeing as it is about a decade old and has undergone major surgery on several occasions. Plus, I have to share it my my family. <br />On the bright side, it's two and a half weeks till the Easter holidays. Easter holidays = Finland + snow + dog!!! *hyperspaz* I haven't seen proper snow for three years, the snow here is rubbish! And it hasn't even snowed this winter. How pathetic.<br />Yes. I'm sure that was a fascinating read. Maybe I can oust Steph's rant-essay from the No.1 bestseller spot. Then again...maybe not.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay, I started Fluffle! I've written the prologue, which is REALLY long, and some of Chapter One.<br />When I've written a bit more I might upload a couple of random fragments to make sure people like it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> But it probably won't make any sense coz the plot is quite weird...as it is an early draft I'm hoping for some constructive criticism, I was hoping to get a bit from my brother, but he refuses to read anything I write, so...yeah...<br />And just to clear everything up once and for all: Fluffle=Fly-Fel. AKA Flyrion and Felaron. My main character is NOT called Fluffle. <br />Um, umumum, um...<br />I really should upload some pictures. No, wait! I have an excuse - my scanner has died...mourn the scanner... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />I've also realised the only reason I would like to get published is so that I can put amusing dedications in the front that no one will understand...like, in Morga:<br />'To Lya - for her sudden yay hellos...'<br />Brakal would be...ummm...actually, there are no amusing in-jokes with Brakky... <br />Morfy: 'To Lucy - for the Blue Stilton, and to Laura - for the pamplemousse!'<br />Fluffle: 'To Jaz - for threatening to beat me up!'<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...on the path to getting a dog...<br />We have got the name of the woman who gave the mum of this girl in my riding lesson her dog...so...now we just have to track her down and STEAL HER PUPPIES...mwahaha...<br />Ahem. Yes.<br /><br />Arnie: if you read this before tomorrow, I have some news from Pittern. <br />And Rachel said that Harry was lovely. Again. (He was an angel...)<br /><br />Steph: I have your notebook...it is muymuymuy cool and STRIPEY...<br /><br />So. School tomorrow. Joy of joys.<br /><br />I have had some weird and slightly disturbing dreams recently.<br />One was that I got to school and there was this weird smell of sewage everywhere, there was a big muddy path across the centre lawn and everyone had to walk across it...<br />Another was that I was at Pittern and there was a new horse called Hugo (there is already one Hugo!) and he would not come in from the field! Which was weird, since today, a couple of days AFTER this dream, I had a very similar experience with Norman...<br />Then there was the one where we all went to Marle Hall again, only this evil guy took over and there was a weird shiny ball thing that had to be protected at all costs but wasn't...<br /><br />On the drawing front, I have just finished a sketch of this bit in Morfy where Morfy's dreaming about Kal, and then it gets weird and they single-handedly (hoofedly?) save the world. Then she wakes up. But Kal looks really evil and scary...<br />Also, I've done some pics of Morga in blue permanent marker. It actually looks quite good.<br /><br />Yes, I shall now shut up and go to bed.<br />Crowd: Hurrah! <br />Quite.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hmm.<br />1) I would like to put on some pictures I did, but it's not working. <br />2) I don't know what 'it' is, or why it isn't working.<br />3) I would like to plug my USB stick in so I can try again, but I can't, because Nick is downloading one hundred pictures of bionicles from the camera, and our computer is pathetically lacking in USB sockets.<br />4) There are only three and a half days left of half term.<br />5) Um. That's it.<br />6) No, wait. I was going to start Fluffle early, but I didn't.<br />7) I have suddenly got obsessed with thinking about Books 5, 6 and 8, which is not good, seeing as I should be obsessed with either Book 1 or Book 4.<br />8) That's really it.<br />9) No, wait, my mistake. I have had only two books to read over the holidays. One was rubbish. The other, thank god, was by Terry Pratchett, which meant that I could read it several times without getting bored. Wait, that's a good thing. Sort of. Except I now know bits of Going Postal off by heart, which is NOT good. <br /><br />Right. Now some good things.<br />1) Yesterday we went to London. It was bon.<br />2) I had a mega-writing-spaz on Wednesday and finished Chapter Eight of Morga. That means I have finished Part One! And I'm actually quite proud of it, it won't need too much editing/shinifying, which is good because I hate doing both.<br />3) Um. Umumum. Nothing much else, really.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Oh joy. Apparently I am "progressing well" in Maths. <br />My dad didn't have too many hour-long, scarily over-enthusiastic speeches. Just a couple of mini ones about how people can't be good at both languages and maths, how my mother is a "foreigner" ...oh yes, and the algebra-themed heart-to-heart with Mr Stringer. <br />My mum kept going, "Let's go see the Frenchie now!" <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />And Miss Killick expects me to rescue my English marks from the depths of dung-ness with my original writing coursework. Ha very ha. I've false-started three times now. Maybe I will just hand in the three books I've written in the past three years and run for the hills. I really have problems with writing for school. This is my usual writing timeline thing.<br /><br />One: Wake up in middle of night with vague idea whizzing excitedly round head. <br />Two: Write down said idea.<br />Three: Leave to ferment for a few days.<br />Four: CHARACTER LIST!!!!<br />Five: Allow characters to fly free around head.<br />Six: Get extremely excited and write beginning. <br />Seven: Get obsessed with certain as-yet-unwritten scenes and play them over and over again inside head.<br />Eight: Slow down as plot progresses.<br /><br />Most stories don't get past Stage Four. Very few reach Eight. (in fact...only Morgaseries and Wolfstory...omg...)<br /><br />This is what I have done now.<br /><br />One: Panic.<br />Two: Throw myself into it without any forethought.<br />Three: Realise I've just written a page of dung.<br />Four: Mope.<br />Five: Realise I need some characters.<br />Six: Wait for characters to appear.<br />Seven: Accept they are not going to.<br />Eight: Write something that fits all the guidelines perfectly.<br />Nine: Realise it is immensely boring and poorly-written.<br />Ten: Panic.<br /><br />I don't know what happens next, but I've only got three days left. I AM DOOMED.<br /><br />Anyway, no more revision. Science mockmocks over and done with. Yay.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...after trying to correct this. (RE coursework)<br />
<br />
GosÂs omniscience is demonstred hwen Bruce first visits him, and he says ÂYou always were funny, BruceÂ and ÂI know just about everytnhign there is to knowÂ. Also, God is again shown to be allknowing tint he filing cbnet secne, where an enormous drawrr is filled with files on Bruc. He shows his omnipotence repeatedly thoughout the filmÂfor example when he increase the number of BruceÂs fillifingers. Then, when bTRuce aquires GodÂs powrs he runs wild, using telekinesis to move cutler and bringing the mon closr to create a romantic atmospehere. Compare to godÂs other qulaites, his benevolence is not often shown. However, he doesnto get angry of blame bruce, and also gives hima ntohwr chance near the end. Religious images are shown frewuetlyin "Bruce Almighty". When Bruce enters ÂOmni PresntsÂ he meets a janitor, an electricirna, and finally Âthe BoosÂÂGod. This is a referne to the Holy Trinity. Also,Gof and Bruce both walkon water, as juses did on the lake of Galele. There are also quotes from the bible, that bruce changes o suit him, eg. Âhe saw that it was goodÂ and Âmy will be doneÂ from the creation story and the lords prayer respectivlty.<br />
<br />
I actually can't spell. <br />
<br />
Um...<br />
<br />
Morfy's nearly finished. About a page more should do it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I wrote 25 chapters in month and one chapter in two months. How odd. <br />
<br />
I had another crack at the theme of "Un-clichÃ©d Horse Story" to see how hard it was to leave out the "spoilt blonde girl with an impeccable palomino pony that she is horrifically cruel to" character. It was actually scarily easy. In fact, no one is blonde bar the MC, no one has a palomino pony, and the main nemesis-type isn't even interested in horses. <br />
And this is just the character list. I'm beginning to enjoy this.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay. I'm fiddling with Photoshop, trying to draw a horse. It's easier than I thought it would be, but still quite hard. I'll put it on if I ever finish. And if it doesn't turn out rubbish.<br />
<br />
Uhh well...I've gone into creative overdrive recently...got a new sketchpad so lots of drawings...also wrote quite a lot of the evil Chapter Twentysix...and I'm still writing that short story about the general. The only thing I can't seem to do is have an idea for my original writing coursework. Typical. I hate writing for school anyway. I always feel like it has to actually make sense, and give a vague impression of sanity. Plus our teacher has said we should write about a memory. I can't write about a memory! I tried that last year, remember? And it turned into a spazzed, muddled-tense, depressing offshoot of Sol. Those of you who read it will know what I mean.<br />
Well, I did hunt through all my random short stories to see if I could find something useful. This is what I found.<br />
1) A description of a tower from the POV of a crow<br />
2) The adventures of some Stilton cheese<br />
3) Sci-fi Humpty Dumpty<br />
<br />
Amongst others. I don't think Miss Killick would be highly impressed by any of the weirdness.<br />
<br />
Also, I have science mockmocks coming up in a couple of weeks...ON THE SAME DAY I HAVE TO HAND MY COURSEWORK IN...AND ON THE SAME DAY AS PARENTS EVENING...argh...<br />
<br />
Yeah, so if anyone has any ideas for a piece of CW based on a memory, I'd be most grateful for them...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Why can't I seem to draw anything anymore? (Namely horse heads) I tried drawing my character Havoc today (he's been swanning round my mind like he owns the place for a few days now) and he turned into a spazzed Friesian with obese legs, wings that looked like they had been stuck on with pritt-stick, no ears and an eye that migrated across his face with every re-draw. Grr. Oh well. He still looks cool in my head. *hugs Havoc*<br />
Havoc: Oookay...I'll just...go get the rest of my memory back...why don't you hug Hawk instead...*throws Hawk at me**escapes*<br />
<br />
I would put some pics of my painted Schleichs up, but...I can't find them <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> (the pictures that is, not the models!) Though I don't know if I want anyone to see the pictures of the Lipizzaner colt who was MEANT to be chestnut. It's too embarrassing. (He has patches of dark and light brown all over, with the occasional fleck of orange. And his "star" looks like someone threw a bucket of milk at his face.)<br />
The other two turned out okay, an Andalusian stallion which I repainted dark bay, and a Hanoverian foal which I did the same colour. I think the last is the best, though I spilt nail polish on it when I was doing its eye, so its side has gone all shiny XD.<br />
<br />
Um...I can't really write anything either. I did begin a short story about a random general before a battle, but it went weird and I got scared and hid it under my pillow.<br />
<br />
Yeah. Um. Umumumum. I should be revising. BUT...aha...I have left my folders at school! Haha! I cannot revise!<br />
<br />
PS. I have Photoshop CS3! Courtesy of BronzeHalo! Though at the moment it is a free thirty-day version...as the computer had a spaz and decided it needed some sort of password...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ This is my New Year journal, because everyone else has one. But, I don't have much to say about the new year. <br />
Well, I'm sort of rich now, in that I have more money than I've ever had before. (This is a big change from last year.) And I was sitting there looking at my model horses and thought, Hey I have money now, I can start collecting them again! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I'm going to wait til the new Schleich catalogue comes out...<br />
I'd also like to learn how to custom-paint them, so if anyone knows anything about that, then uhh...I hope you don't need lots of expensive equipment though...in that case I will probably leave it for another year or so...<br />
Actually, Schleich was the thing that started Morga off...*reminisces*...with the 2002 catalogue...wow, five years ago! That's when I first made up the characters. (I just found out yesterday that Threitag used to be called Thretyig. LOL) Then a year or two later,   I started writing him. <br />
Yeah, I'll shut up now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I hope everyone had a bon Xmas. I did...I was TRES surprised that I got cool stuff, because my main prezzie from M+D was meant to be 3 months of riding lessons. But I got new boots and a laptop from them (!) The laptop used to be my gran's though so I guess that didn't cost so much...<br />
<br />
Ooh, I had my riding lesson today, and it turned out I was in Arnie's lesson! Which was weird...I randomly heard this voice going "HI EMMA!" and there she was!<br />
<br />
And...I'm planning to write a couple of pages of Morfy tonight. I'll try and finish before the new year. Then I think I'll have a break and just write short stories for a while, which NO ONE shall read because they will no doubt be strange/disturbing/scary. And after that, I will begin Book 4. Which STILL does not have a proper, sensible name. But it is very exciting anyway. <br />
<br />
(PS. I'm in pain because my knee hurts, and my brother pushed me off a stile onto that leg this morning, and then I went riding. Just in case you REALLY wanted to know.)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I probably won't be online, since we are going to visit my aunt and uncle. And before that, I must feed some cats.<br />
Anyway. I had my riding lesson at 11am today, which was...weird...as I haven't had it in the morning for a couple of years...<br />
Someone stole Harry from me though. Grrr. I did ride Geoffrey though, who I haven't tried before. He was lovely, did everything I asked. Except stop, sometimes...<br />
Um yeah. I don't know why I'm writing a journal actually. The last one was only...two days ago. I have no life. Hmm.<br />
Arnie would be pleased to know that I wrote a paragraph of Morfy. Or she would, if she wasn't in London. Humph.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Anyway...um...Dashka helped me sort out the end of Morfy. So hopefully she will be soon complete...<br />
And I've been doing a lot of planning for Book 4, which doesn't have a name because it has two main characters. I could call it Felfly I suppose...but that sounds silly.<br />
I had a really weird (but cool) dream last night. I was randomly running away from something, only then I discovered I could fly down hills...it was really fun...<br />
Three and a half days till Xmas! Yay!<br />
Oh and I finished Chapter Eight of Morga...I made a really funny mistake..."After Morga had slept for a while, he opened his ears blearily, aching all over."<br />
His ears? What?! What!?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ 8 days till Christmas.<br />
I handed in my English coursework today. It was a load of poo.<br />
My drawing-ness has entirely fizzled out. <br />
I STILL haven't finished Morfy. <br />
I have a scene from Werewolf-story playing round and round my head which WON'T GO AWAY.<br />
I almost ran over my riding instructor yesterday. LOL. <br />
Chocolate biscuits are nice. <br />
I really ought to do something constructive.<br />
But...I actually can't write or draw anything. My muse has gone, my fount of inspiration has dried up blah blah blah. <br />
And I heard something today that I don't think I was intended to.<br />
Ah well. <br />
Tum te tum.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ ..I JUST WON NANO!!! GO ME!<br />
I finished Chapter 25 ten minutes ago, at ten minutes to eleven. I didn't even have to write until midnight! Sure, it's all rubbish, but hey!<br />
And I still have to write Chapter 26. But that goes over 50 000 words, so, I'll leave it for now. <br />
OMG I was stuck for insp so I wrote four pages about a ferret called Troy who nearly gets trampled by Morfy. Yes, really.<br />
And I killed Tary and Morgy...I feel so mean and evil...and now Morfy and Kal have fallen out and they don't get back together for A YEAR...A WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR...<br />
But who cares. I won!!! Yay!<br />
*goes hyper from lack of sleep and wrist-ache*<br />
*decides to go to bed*<br />
PS I'm thinking of doing Ch 26 from Kal's POV. I'm guessing Arnie will say yes...but should I? I don't know...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm a little panicked right now.<br />
Anyway. I just thought I'd say, in the New Year I'm thinking about putting Morga [my first book] on here, one chapter per week. I'm still not sure though...<br />
And Arnie gave me a random idea today. The night before I had dozed off in the middle of a sentence and written "Misire" and Arnie said I could use it instead of Mother and Father, as in, Misire and Midam.<br />
And Kal has a baby!!! (In Book 4) called Kaltari...cuteness...<br />
<br />
Nearly on Chapter 19. Around 36 000 words. 14 000 to go. 3 1/2 notebooks. 2 to go. TWO DAYS LEFT...ARGH...I feel a writing-til-midnight session coming on again...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I should be writing...<br />
Actually I had a really satisfying writing day today. I finished Chapter 10 and started Chapter 11, but I confused Arnie so now she doesn't want to read it... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> ...sorry Arnie...<br />
He, but I wrote about five pages describing the sunrise. Yay, go random descriptive blather that uses lots of words!<br />
Ooh that reminds me, I can go and update my wordcount and look smug. Well, not that smug, coz I have to more than double my wordcount in nine days. Ach well. At least I tried. And I would never have written this much usually. If I wasn't doing NaNoWriMo, I would be on about Chapter...4, maybe?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...does a grapefruit cost? I think I'm going to end up buying one. I think if I could finish the notebook I would be fine, but I don't know if I can even manage that. And I know that when I get to Ch 24 I won't want to carry on because that's when one of my favourite characters die. And another one dies in Ch 25. But 26 will be soo cute!! It has Aridara in it!! As a foal!! A really tiny foal!!!<br />
<br />
Hmm. *procrastinates*<br />
<br />
Morfela silently kicked herself in embarrassment. She never enjoyed making a fool of herself in front of others, and this was no exception.<br />
<br />
Talk about stating the obvious. Who does enjoy it? Actually, my dad seems to enjoy making a fool of himself at random parent workshops in school. <br />
And I knew I was going to end up calling Tarion Tary. So now I've got: Brakky, Morfy, Tary, Zayzay, Kal, Chay (2: Ferechay and Chayse)...oh yes, and Ari, Fell, Fly and Zessa. But they don't count. They haven't been born yet. Ignore them. They do not exist. (Yet.) *evil cackle*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm nearly catching up...if I can start chapter eight today, I'll be alright! The problem is I'm suffering from lack of sleep and too many chocolate biscuits. Also Chapter Seven is the most boring thing I've EVER read and I have no inspiration, which is why I'm sitting at the computer typing this instead of scribbling furiously in the bane of my life (AKA the blue notebook)<br />
Also I've worked out that I will need two more notebooks to accommodate the rest of Morfy. This is a problem, as my mum thinks I have too many already and I can't get to the shops till the weekend, by which time it will be almost too late, I will have to persuade (somehow) my dad to buy me a couple of cheap notebooks. <br />
But otherwise, life is pretty good. Apart from the plague of being unable to spell or use correct grammar anymore. Oh well. Who cares about that. As long as I can spell my own name...oh heck, I just remembered I can't even do that any more. (I misspelt it today)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...and it's only Day Six!<br />
Actually I'm having quite a lot of fun doing NaNoWriMo. I've just written Chapter Three, which had the basic outline "Life in herd" So of course I had nothing to write about for 2000 words. In the end I made Stryke come early, Brakal want to talk to Morfela, Zaodor get pushed into mud by some foals, and Morfela have a weird, morbid dream. All in a day's work...<br />
But now I have to write a chapter entirely about Brakal, Morga and Arafelid talking and Morfela eavesdropping! And I can't do it wihtout Morfy realising what they're on about!! Because that would ruin the suspense!!! (If I had any)<br />
When can I get to the exciting bits?<br />
When you catch up with your chapters, duh. If you had stuck to your scheduley thing, you would be on Chapter Six!! Which is when...oh, that's a boring chapter too. They're all boring chapters except the ones later on!<br />
*stops getting frustrated*<br />
I also have a deal with Laura. She doesn't believe I can write 50,000 words in a month. If I do, she has to buy me a grapefruit and I can point and laugh at her. If I don't make it, I have to buy her a grapefruit and she can point and laugh at me. <br />
I have a feeling I'm going to have to find a grapefruit soon...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...in Morfela!!! Well, ravens to be precise. There are three, Chayse (the big strong bullying male who doesn't talk much), Saybal (the smart, bossy female) and Stryke (the runt who talks the most). I love them so much!!<br />
<br />
Oh. I MUST put this on.<br />
<br />
Kalidar (to ravens): Who's this?<br />
Morfela: *is disturbed*<br />
Kalidar: This is Mor-fel-a. Can you say that?<br />
Morfela: *becomes increasingly worried about Kalidar's state of mind*<br />
Stryke: M'fla.<br />
<br />
And BronzeHalo, I have another amusingly random eyeball mistake.<br />
"I'll call her Saybal," he said, flicking his eyes momentarily towards Morfela, "for her colour."<br />
I just have this random image of Kal's eyeballs flying through the air and Morfy doing her Morfy-look as they hurtle towards her...and it's all your fault Steph! For pointing out Ellestron's eyeball thing...*cracks up in hysterical eyeball-themed laughter*<br />
<br />
Well yeah. It's proving immensely tedious counting all my HAND-WRITTEN words. But I am on around 1000. I think. Possibly more, since I just wrote another page.<br />
<br />
Ho hum. I had a maths test today. Maybe I will be lucky and get moved down a set so I don't get confused every five seconds by Mr Stringamblizard.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Heh...random title. <br />
The Dictionary According To Kidashka:<br />
Clarms=waving your arms in a distressed way and going "meeeeee" in a high-pitched voice. Mr Cloakner's favourite pastime. Not to be confused with The Edible Calculator's favourite pastime (scaring Mr Cloakner) or Glamis (Thane of) or clams (shellfish).<br />
Long story.<br />
Anyvay...I have drawn more crows!! And my scanner works now, so I have scanned them in! However, they are on my USB stick, which is upstairs, and I am a very lazy person so I won't go and get it right now. <br />
But I did write more werewolf story and typed some Morga (only 34,900 and something words to go!!) so that sort of balances it out.<br />
And I have an ominous feeling that I'm going to end up writing a story about crows. The characters are flapping round my head going "Caw!" at random intervals. Though they are quite cool, so I let them caw. (Though what possessed me to name one of them Alicia I have no idea.)<br />
Also, in 25 minutes I'm going to Fiona's to babysit. Hopefully there will be no more "rabbit+microwave=happy Georgia" incidents...<br />
And I really ought to enter that contest on PH...I did say I would...and I did, but the computer had a temper tantrum and deleted my post and I'm to lazy to go and write it again. Oh well.<br />
And my knee REALLY hurts. It has hurt for two days now. Owww...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Oh well. You can all just imagine it. It is vaguely grey-black with two wings, a beak, and two deformed feet. Thanks to it, I am now obsessed with drawing crows. Actually, I began a story with a crow in it before...oh and Raki has a crow...but nobody knows who Raki is...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ This is a complaining journal entry. It is solely for me to complain in. Feel free to back away, extremely disturbed.<br />
<br />
I would like to read a book about horses. I go to my shelves. I scan the titles, pick a few that are horse-related. <br />
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!<br />
<br />
1. There is ALWAYS a spoilt rich girl with a beautiful, expensive pony that she is horrifically cruel to.<br />
2. The climatic event is ALWAYS a show where Spoilt Girl's exquisitely trained mount makes a tiny mistake and is subsequently beaten to a pulp by SG herself, resulting in the disqualification of Spoilt Girl and the victory of Main Character.<br />
3. The main character is ALWAYS female! Yes I do know that riding is generally considered a "girly" hobby! That doesn't mean no boys do ride!!<br />
4. None of the above things are true. There are some good horse stories around. (Fly-by-Night, Black Horses for the King, etc. And obviously Black Beauty and co.) But there are all these books that could be good if only they sort of veered away from the path of "Spoilt Girl is nasty. There is a mysterious mystery. Main Character vows never to ride again. MC rides again. Mystery is solved. SG is disqualified from climatic show. Happy ever after."<br />
<br />
PS. Lots of Horse stories are different from this, but at least #1 is always true. There is always a spoilt rich girl. She is usually blonde. Her pony is quite often palomino and professionally trained, with an impossibly sweet and forgiving nature. Why? Is it some sort of psychological disorder among the authors of these books, that they have to have this character?<br />
<br />
Anyway. Rant over. I'll shut up now. Oh and if anyone does find a good horsey book, can you tell me? I've already finished all my half term books. It's only Tuesday!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was a good day. Me, kidashka, Bronzehalo and Laura had a Raku thing after school, which turned out to be a sort of pot-making thing. And after that I had to babysit for my mum's friend. That wasn't too bad, since I could try and do maths hwk in peace and quiet. Oh and I had a strange conversation with one of the kids.<br />
<br />
Georgia: I can't sleep because I've lost Lippetty<br />
Me: Who is Lippetty?<br />
G: My toy rabbit.<br />
Me: OK. What does Lippetty look like?<br />
G: *holds up toy rabbit* She has ears like this, but she has no clothes on.<br />
Me: OK...*searches for rabbit*<br />
(later)<br />
Me: Do you really need Lippetty to sleep?<br />
G: Yes, I need to put her in the microwave for two minutes to warm her up.<br />
Me: *is slightly disturbed* <br />
<br />
But I got Â£6 so it was worth the strange conversation. I'm saving up to have extra riding lessons...only Â£10 more and I can have an hour's lesson! Hmm...so that's the week after next...and then Â£4 to go...*blathers off into the distance*<br />
*goes to bed*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes yes I know I should be concentrating on Morfela, but this idea has been brewing for a while now and I thought I'd put it down on paper (or Word, even). Anyway. It was inspired partly by Maximum Ride (for some reason-I don't know how they're linked) partly by Shade's Children, and partly by some random book my brother was reading and I stole because I was bored. Oh and partly by Lilli's geography project.<br />
Basically, it's set a few hundred years in the future when Britain is just a bunch of rubbish looking islands and everything has gone down the drain blah blah blah etc. And no, I don't know how the werewolves came into it. Yeah. Next time I'd better get my thoughts in order before  attempting to write a journal. <br />
Plus I stole a few characters from a couple of dead stories. I stole Wolf from AC, coz he's just cool, and I stole Kite Spar, who was also in AC, but also in a few other stories too. Only this time she's a bad guy. Sort of. And I stole Raki, so I could have the bit from AC when Wolf gets kidnapped for some reason. Who else did I steal? Oh yeah, I stole Flaw, coz she has a cool name and I never wrote her story.<br />
And no one knows who half these characters are. <br />
Yes. So. Goodbye.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY I FINISHED!!!!!!!!!<br />
About two years of my life have now been made worthwhile!!! I see a light at the end of the evil writers-block tunnel!!!! Morga has a complete son!!!! I can relax until NOVEMBER!!!!!!<br />
What, you may ask, am I raving on about?<br />
I finished Brakal!!! Though I suppose I have to call him by his proper name now. So, I finished Fire Spirit!! Hurrah! And I apologise profusely for the over-use of these: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <br />
Well if you get on before Holland, Arneia, read this!!! I did say I would finish him before you got back...just didn't expect to do it before you'd even gone...!<br />
*stands on head* <br />
The last chapter was soo sweet though, Brakky and Zaora got married...aww. I feel kind of sorry for them, coz they only get a few months before their life goes sort of rubbish again...<br />
So yeah. I'm going to go stare out of the window at the beautiful piebald horse and think happy thoughts. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, now that I've got the motivation to finish Brakky by the end of the month so I can do Morfy for my NaNoWriMo novel, I've suddenly written a chapter in a day! I know, weird! So I've now just got to finish chapter 26 and write chapter 27, which will be easy, coz it's just Brax and Zaora getting married. <br />
And Arneia, you are still in disgrace for not coming to CWC, so you still can't read him! Mwahahaha. And you can't read him until I forget to say you can't. Which will probably be on Monday. And I will expect to see you in the Geography room at lunchtime on Thursday. *glare*<br />
Anyone who is not Arneia, ignore that last paragraph. It means nothing to you, unless you are BronzeHalo or Kidashka, in which case it will vaguely mean something to you.<br />
Well, wish me luck and hope that I don't lose my motivation before the end of October. <br />
Au revoir!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...so here is one.<br />
And now I can't think of anything to write. <br />
Yippee. <br />
Ooh I've got riding tomorrow.<br />
And I drew a sort of horse skull thing.<br />
But my scanner is still dead.<br />
And I'm planning to draw something crow-themed.<br />
And this isn't very interesting at all, is it?<br />
Not my usual scintillating self.<br />
And I don't know why I'm excited.<br />
I just am.<br />
Now.<br />
...<br />
Do I have any pictures of crows...<br />
<br />
<br />
Journal Take 2<br />
<br />
Jazmin accidentally came round for the night yesterday, so I dropped a horse on her head. We also had a strange conversation with A.L.I.C.E., which is rather amusing. (search it on Google and it's the first one that comes up)<br />
Hmm. I've got vague story-ideas zipping round my head. It was something to do with...time...horses...randomprophecyness...<br />
It feels like Sunday, but it's Saturday. That's got to be good, right? <br />
Anyway. I'll stop now.<br />
<br />
Yes.<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
Ignore me. *hums*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Flash died yesterday...we had a funeral for him and he is now buried with his family at the bottom of the garden. He lived to the grand old age of five (seems longer-I've had him since he was six weeks old) and fathered eight children...he is possibly a grandfather by now...<br />
I may put some pictures up, as I was rooting around for something to remember him by and found eleven folders on the computer that had at least one picture on! So he won't be forgotten, at least.<br />
On other, less depressing subjects...um...well...nothing. I haven't written any more Brakal, I have the dreaded h-word to do, and we're nearly out of chocolate digestives. <br />
Well, at least I've got a tidy room. Don't know how long it'll last...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I am feeling depressed again, because Gecka's death is looming. And he has a foal at home and his mate is pregnant with the leader-to-be...poor them. I don't feel sorry for the other two (Cardra and Threitag) though, they sort of deserved it.<br />
There is also a frog in my pocket. And Joy is leaving...and Harry P is lovely even when he is taking a chunk out of your arm.<br />
And I will stop wittering on now and go and sort my tent out because it is about to rain.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

All is bien...oh and my half-sister and my gran are coming tomorrow so I might not be on. But otherwise all is bien, as I haven't seen either of them for ages. <br />
Also I have a characterlist that will never be a story, about some horses with weird names. The usual. Hehehe. And I'm really looking forward to writing Morfela. <br />
I have this sudden urge to shorten all my character names!! Brakal=Brakky or Brax, Morga=Morgy, Morfela=Morfy etc etc. It is very weird...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'll try and write more Brakal and maybe even another story-chunk...I'm halfway through one but it's not on my palm, so I might do one with Raki in, coz Raki is cool. But most of the ones with Raki in have Wolf in too, and I want to do more with Kat in. Seeing as she's the main character.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

MANGO CHUTNEY!!!<br />
Yes, I'm back. Hallo. Bonjour. Salut. Hola. Hei. Terve. <br />
I have returned with some rather...disturbing drawings (think tiny winged horses pulling minigliders, and a winged horse climbing up a pile of rubble carrying a flag), two new story ideas, and a pathetically small amount of Brakal. Oh yes, and the mosquito bites. Yes. (Arneia, Steph-remind me to send you the piccy of me with my eye all swelled up)<br />
Story idea one: Algebra Club story. <br />
Story idea two: Weird time travel story...hehehe.<br />
(and surprise surprise...they both have horses in)<br />
...<br />

I've packed twelve books and four notebooks...do you think that'll be enough? Also we have to leave home at 5.30am!!!! Yes I know...terrible. At least this time we might get a sleeper on the train. <br />
Unfortunately when my mum went and bought HP7 my brother got to her first, so now I will have to wait for him to finish it. Also he is bringing an adaptor thingy for his MP3 so we can listen to Greenday and Queen in the car...oh joy.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

So I have finally finished Brakal's notebook, *sob*. He is jumping onto some paper. Only...4 chapters to go!!! Eeeee! <br />
The scanner is still dead, and I've also drawn an A3 map for Messenger. Don't know what I'm going to do with it...<br />
Ooh when it works again I could scan in all the Federer/Nadal pictures!! Hehe that was tres amusant. <br />
Oh and does anyone have a solution to this problem?<br />
My 11 year old brother has suddenly become obsessed with Green Day and My Chemical Romance. He is either, a) listening to them on Youtube with the lyrics on the screen and singing (or should I say droning) along, or b) listening to them on full volume on his new MP3 player and droning. He actually can't sing more than one note! Help me pleeeeeeeeease!<br />

I had a dream last night where I lived in a kind of prison thing and one day all the prisoners went to the beach. It turned out it was actually a secret escape attempt by my worst enemy (?) but I accidentally ruined it. I trod on some nails which got stuck in my foot (??) so when she said "Quick! Run away!" I kind of did this weird laugh and said "I can't, because I have nails in my foot...hahaha!" The rest of the dream was just me walking round with nails in my foot trying to find a doctor to pull the nails out...(???) <br />
And I now have...um...4 chapters and 4&3/4 pages to go till the end of Brakal!! Woohoo!!!<br />

You have served me and Brakal well, O notebook...and you will do for two more chapters...at least you get one of the finale-climax chapters - the paper will only get one finale-climax and three boring tying-up-plot-threads chapters...mwahaha, you got all the other interesting chapters, like chapter eight: that was a good chapter.<br />
Anyway. I'll stop talking to my notebook now.<br />
<br />
'...' count: 4! nooo!<br />
'-' count: only 1!<br />
'!' count: 5, hmm ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I'm sneaking on coz we've got friends round and I'm not meant to be here, but they are being boring and going on the playstation with mon frere, so here I am! I haven't been on for a while so, sorry!<br />
Anyway, I've now finished Mirrorglass No. 3 but I am too lazy to go and get my USB stick so I can put it on. And I've also started No. 4 - yes Lucy, FURY!!!! But he's a bit strange and mashed up right now so I might draw him again.<br />
Ooh - I can see nice bread - au revoir!<br /><br /> ]]></description>
