A Solivagant on the Inselberg



I actually paused the show there, so I don't know how it proceeds, but I think this has a small problem. O positive is the most common blood type, so it's easy to find more than one person with that blood type. In fact, I am O positive (since that depends upon the rhesus factor and not a person's qualities, I not B-ve). So anyway, my point is there could be multiple people with the same blood group, or it could just be a coincidence.
But of course, in the show, they lay out their suspicions looking at the age and other factors, but I just wanted to say that out for some reason.

1. Really, my vocabulary isn't that good. Why do people say that? It's just a bit, um, different?
2. Firstly, I'm not..."
1. That first sentence of yours, despite making me very sad, only proves your abilities. I would have never thought of those words. And now, when all of us are guilty of using the same words/phrases over and over and over, different is admirable.
2. Yes, you are!!! Your grades and your writing, even this journal, proves it!! True, being respectful is a universal rule, but not everyone follows it. Even on Goodreads, people slip up on occasion. Do I blame them? No, we all have bad days, and I've done it myself. Have I seen you be rude to another person here, ever? No, not at all! As I said earlier, I only wish you could use the same kind words on yourself that you think up for others. As much as respect matters when it comes to others, you should put yourself first. Also, keep this in mind. The ideal human being would give everyone the same amount of respect, but none of us are ideal. We're likely to return respect in the same volume that it's given in. So you shouldn't feel bad about having a harder time respecting some people who haven't given as much, as long as you try, which I'm sure you do. Also, being introverted/someone of few words/not always enthusiastic or smiling in real life does not make you unkind. I'm one of those people who shows it much better in text. Don't be so hard on yourself! Introverts exist for a reason.
3. See above. It's harder to show compassion to anyone who hasn't given you the respect you deserve. And I'm sorry if I ever annoy you.
4. True, but no! Didn't you see the way Diana spoke to you before the group closed (at least, I think it was her)? She was so kind and apologetic and I think she was really thankful that you were there.
5. I'm going to PM you :)
6. Yes, and it's good that you can't be that evil irl XD But it shows your willingness to divert and explore as a writer. And if making your character go through a major transition is selfish, then I'm the most selfish person on earth for knocking Shade and Corvus down yesterday.
7. Yes you were! Ah, I see. Still though, you could have made the choice to go against your parents. Maybe it wouldn't be a smart one, but you could have. I'm sorry that they didn't show you the respect you deserve and let you recover from sickness. I do believe you are dedicated, however.
8. No one who earns 90+ grades does so without working for them. School matters to you, and that's commendable in itself.
9. First of all, I'm telling you, your singing sounded good! And the point is that it's going to keep getting better and better. The arts should be for everyone, not just the most talented. If music takes you away from things that trouble you or makes you feel any better, even if it's just when you're playing it, then it's worth it. Why do you think I keep loving to dance even though I can't lower myself to the ground on a split, get my legs straight when they are high up in the air, and have a height measurement that suits almost any sport better than ballet? It's a part of my life that keeps me going and defines who I am. And the same could be said with your music.
10. I'll include this in my PM.
I don't want any of this to come off as whiny or argumentative, but you, Hallie, are a one of a kind person who is awesome. I think this world will have a place for you eventually, even if you're not feeling it now. My greatest wish is, one day, for you to discover that you matter more than any human can fully comprehend. Just like each and every one of us.
I'm going on hiatus after I wrap up some stuff- please take care of yourself, okay? You matter to me so much and I'm not sure you fully realize it :)


To-do List• Finish Scream Queens, and stab those challengers to death• Decide what show/anime to watch next (maybe Fairy Tail or Danganropa?) - Sam and Cat
• Remove the laundry from the clothes line
• Start bullet journal
• Start astronomy journal• Organise study table (I like my study table a little messy!)
• Find new books to read
• Work on roleplay group
• Work of characters in the Harry Potter group• Respond to roleplays
• Do something reckless
• Begin to write for the August Competition in the Blazing Readers & Wordy Writers group

I love victorious that show was like my childhoold
I miss all the old shows that I used to watch and love :( why did they have to end?

No rush :) And I have to respond to one roleplay during my hiatus, so I'll probably come here too :) I just can't do as much as I was. Thank you!!! :)
If you don't feel you do, you could try to make one of yours like that :) It's admittedly hard with a regular student. You could probably accomplish a lot of complexity with Lucy :) She seems like a good candidate for it, and not because she's a Death Eater. Same goes for Laura. I think the key to Corvus and Shade's development is their relationships and experiences :) Perhaps you could build some relationships and then initiate a bit of drama. XD

1. Really, my vocabulary isn't that good. Why do people say that? It's just a bit, um, different?
2. F..."
1. That probably sounded like I was showing off. And candidly, you write so much better than me. Comparing your roleplays with mine, they are on completely different levels: yours intriguing and descriptive, while mine contains nothing but mere actions of my character.
2. Well, in that case, you might want to head over to the bookclub I moderate and see my Draconian rules there - and most importantly, I can be biased even before knowing a person, and ridge away diss them. Besides, one particular member is still being targeted by me just because I didn't have a really good impression of him when he first joined. I kicked him out once without a legitimate reason, conveniently lied to him, said a couple of unkind things and even though later I sought advice from Kim and apologized to him, assuring that it would never happen again, I repeated it at least thousand times. I might have castigated him around 10 times this month, and objected everything he posts. Let's not even go to the part where I secretly patronise him for his "brash" comments. Basically, I could be god-modding, which is definitely not acceptable. And since I set the rules there, I also break them when I want to on the sole basis of my own prejudice, and behave in an unkind manner. So if you see a kinder version of me in one group doesn't really make me kind because that could imply two things: you guys are so awesome your deserve it, or I'm totally faking it. Now coming to the point, I can easily not comment and let him be in peace, but I won't do that. I can diplomatically speak, but I'd rather be dominating. I could be less stringent, but I'll still impose rules as an when I wish. However, I wouldn't do the same if you were in that group. I'll let you off the hook since I like you better, and that, personally, is a rather biased quality. Everyone deserves the same amount of respect if they do the same thing, but I wouldn't not treat both of you equally. Also, when it comes to hostility, I can be not just unkind, but rather vicious. Grudges? Don't even talk about it! I'm still not over a feud that happened three years ago, and I will still never forgive her or be kind to her. So basically, I can be rude a lot, and what you see is just the sycophantic mask that just covers the real me.
3. It's not really their fault if I don't deserve that respect. And I don't need to know how much respect they give me because hello prejudices! Oh, you never annoyed me! That's impossible!
4. I'm still going to stand by what I said earlier.
5. Hmm let's see...
6. Oh I can be evil! Just a different kind of evil - like backstabbing, years of planning, finally extreme consequences kind of evil. But that isn't wittiness! It's just that I love writing a lot! xD Noooo that's not true! I mean I didn't really think from Kim's perspective to see how much different her idea would be. I might have messed up another amazing plot by just doing that, but I suppose Shade can be fixed somehow (maybe I'll um, send Bell over? xD)
7. It just happened on its own. I never wanted it until I realized that I could make it happen, that was during the end of the school year, but it just happened xD
8. A. School is never on my list of things I should think about. I could think about anything except school. I go because my parents put me in school before I could pronounce my name right (do you know how hard it was to say it!? xP), and I take stupid exams every year because I passed the previous year. University matters to me, but school - it's never on my mind. B. Okay, I might have worked enough and had a bit of luck to get 90% because I did know most of what to write, but the remaining 5%, that wasn't any honest person's work.
9. Okay fine, I'll agree with you here! :)
10. I sort of suck at reading my PM's, so if I miss it, remember I can be a real idiot at times.
The only people saying that are my friends online. No one who knew me outside that would ever say that because they know that the world really wouldn't miss me. They know that I'm not going to be the next big news, or be the one who invented a time machine, and yes, they're right because I'm not determined enough. I'm not brave enough to get out of the house, I'm not clever enough to be of any intellectual use, and I simply cannot see myself doing anything useful in the future. I've often come across this question: What do you see yourself doing ten years from today? What I see is something that I never wanted to see when I was younger; something that no one would like, and something that people would say will not happen - but it will because that's how I'm going to shape my future because I failed now.

Wow!!!!! That is so amazing! xD

I managed to post right after this xD
You have a point! I'm supposed to get Lucy into more step-sister, self-hate drama, but if I wasn't so conservative, I could do more with her. About Laura, I really want to build up her personality more, but my idea is to get her into serious trouble, but the problem is I don't know how. Since she's the head of the junior Resistance now, I'll try and use that, but I also want something else. Thanks for the advice, Alia! :)

How about a dusty bookshelf challenge where you read books in your to-read bookshelf? Jingle suggested a group you can join and I see you're doing the A-Z books challenge as well. Those are common ones. There was one boring one that I made for my bookclub if you want to see.

ok I'll try the dusty bookshelf challenge. I do need to read the books that I want to read except I keep adding books to my to-read list XD

Every bookworm's problem xD

Conversation I Didn't Overhear
I can't be on for long, but I'm popping in to write this for some reason. Mum came back home, abs apparently there had been a conversation between my grandfather and her which went like this:
Grandpa: So when are you going to come next?
Mum: I can only come when Hallie has holidays, and that's hard.
Grandpa: Bring Hallie, too! She's no bother at all.
Now that was weird! I just happen to be a bit too silent. (When I went in May, my grandma even forgot that I was in the house because she didn't hear me at all, and my grandpa regularly had to check whether I was still breathing.)
The one thing grandpa got wrong: I am a huge bother. Just in a different way.

To-do List
• Re-read Inkheart
• Start story
• Roleplays
• Roleplay group
• Follow Shine on Tumblr
• Guitar
• Don't do it!

I'm sorry you feel that way :( But I think you're lots of fun (you'd need that to be able to create characters like Bell XD ) and I'm sure many would agree.
(view spoiler) ["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

The two sides of my brain are arguing whether that otter is cute or creeping me out xD One side says, "Hallie, you're afraid of animals! Scream!" and the other side says, "Awwww that's so cute!"

It's taking away my life! How bad can a show be? I agree with you! Haha thanks xD I was also hoping it would be good because Ariana Grande was in it, but they killed her off in the very first episode which made me hate it that instant. Ooo PLL!!!! It still beats Scream Queens any time!
