The Fourth Day of Awesome: Oops…

I don’t have time to catch up with yesterday’s, so I’m just carrying on where I left off.

On the fourth day of awesome, this here wiz presents:
Four mounts I wish I had,
Three awesome things,
Two festive poems
And a post excusing her absence…

I’ve got to make this quick. And I’m going to point out that most of these were from Google images, because, well, I don’t own them.

MOUNTS GO:

1) Bengal Tiger

I like tigers. They are awesome. And they RAWR.

2) Meowmodon

 

Discontinued. I remember when this first arrived in the Spiral, and I really wanted to get one, not only because it was a freaking awesome white tiger, but also because I believe the crowns spent on it went to charity – so, double the awesome!

3) Swift Shark

 

I think I got one of these in the test realm, but can’t find the picture anywhere. :( Either way, I like sharks. (Except when they kill baby birds, like in Trials of Life which we were watching in Biology today because it was the end of term, and that was quite sad.)

4) Sea Turtle

Come on, who doesn’t love turtles?

Diviner OUT!

The Third Day of Awesome: Things that are awesome

On the third day of awesome this here wiz presents:
Three things that are cool,
Two festive poems,
And a post excusing her long absence.


Three days, guys! Three!

Anyway, hello and welcome to the third day of DIVINAWESOME. (See what I did there? See? See? Yeah.) There are three awesome things that I've found out about that all happened during NaBlogHiatusMo, and I'm sticking 'em right here.

AWESOME THING 1:

You guys know that I live on that weird tiny tea-infested island in Europe, right? And in W101, that can mean I'm at a bit of a disadvantage:

• Not many people play it at the same time as me because they all live on the other side of the world. (I'm trying to change this one.)
• Some British spellings aren't accepted in text chat. (See: colour, flavour, favourite. Open chat helps, though.)
• I can't get gift cards. Sad face.

As sad as this is--- WAIT, WHAT'S THIS?! An Epic Bundle? Online? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? I can have a gift card! I can have a gryphon mount! And an Epic Fantasy Castle! And Epic Gear and--how freaking awesome is this? Answer: totally awesome!

AWESOME THING 2:

The world is much better for having a leopard pet. ADORABLE. WANT.

AWESOME THING 3: I managed to make it three days without going completely insane!! Ha, just kidding. I was completely insane anyway.... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HA. Ha. Also I'm in german just now and I it cake, yaaay! I might be slightly hyper.

Diviner OUT!

The Second Day of Awesome: Poetry!

On the second day of awesome this here wiz presents:

Two festive poems,

And a post excusing her long absence.

HEY! (that makes two days, oh yeah)

I'm not much of a poet. ("That sounds like Alex wrote it," to quote myself on my own prophecy.) I won a school poetry competition (the theme was atrocious, though) this year. The prize was a £5 book token. But when I hear about poetry competitions with this as a prize, I simply can't help myself.

(If you're interested, here it is: HERE.)

So I present to you, as promised in my little poem (you like what I'm doing there, huh?) two (yes, two) festive poems (one's a haiku but whatever), for the second day of awesome:

ONE:
'Twas Christmas in the Spiral, when not so long ago,
A thaumaturge was asking where she could find some snow.
"We make it in our lessons, but it never ever stays -
I wish that we could find some snow so we could run and play."
Greyrose paused and thought a while then realised she knew:
"Go to old O'Doyle and he'll tell you what to do."
And soon the thaumaturge was munching where the white snow gleams.
(Christmas is the time the gobblers share their jelly beans.)

TWO:
Spiral snow season,
It's best to stay alert, as--
Argh! Evil snowman!

Right, that enough awesome for today? I think so.

Diviner OUT!

P.S. I know, I'm doing this a day later than each one being released. I'm going to blame it on time zones. (It's mostly just me being lazy.)

The First Day of AWESOME: Is the plural of moose "meese" or what?

On the first day of awesome this here wiz presents:
A post excusing her long absence.

I'M BACK GUYS!

So... I did it! I won NaNoWriMo. Whaddayaknow? Genuinely, I am really proud of myself. But YOU GUYS. :D :D :D What was better than winning NaNo was you guys saying it. Slightly cheesy, but nonetheless awesome. You're all wonderful.

That said... The story's not going online. It's not getting published. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's pretty much irredeemable - but that's okay. I'm not the best at writing, and while NaNo was a brilliant experience (who knew I could actually do that when I can't even blog regularly?!), my novel is nowhere near ready for the internet to see it, and I'm not much of an editor, if I'm honest, so, for a good while at least, it's staying put. At the bottom of my 'Stories' folder.

Anyway, since then I've had three controlled assessments, two projects, one maths exam, one saxophone exam (merit!), and two concerts (one of which involved me playing three times in the space of five acts, no exaggeration). Just a little bit to keep me busy, I suppose. So I haven't posted for almost a month... Oop...

HOWEVER.

In the nick of time, I found out that the Twelve Days of Wizard commences... TODAY! (By the in nick of time, I mean twenty minutes ago.) So you know what I'm gonna do?

I mean, other than celebrate by reinstating the MSPaint Christmas Header?

No?

I'm blogging every day again!

Now, I'm not saying that this is definitely happening. Heck, I still have a week of school, after which I'm headed to Wales for the weekend. But I'm going to do my best to post every day, even if it's just to say how lame I am for having a one-line post every other day. Still! It's gonna be fun, right? Right?

Exactly. Now, I'm going to go and edit that little Xmas header and eat a mince pie. Nom.

Diviner OUT!

P.S. Is it just mooses (moose) (meese) (mice--no) you have for Christmas? We have reindeer. You have reindeer, right? (If not, you're missing out BIG TIME.)

Hey look a thing!

I got a word count widget!

As you can see, I'm behind, so I'll get back to writing.

Diviner OUT!

Anyone here like The Hunger Games?

Jus’ wonderin’… Because instead of novelling like a good little WriMo, I decided to turn my attentions to thecapitol.pn, which is like a really cool thing you can go poke if you like the Hunger Games. Basically procrastinate, but it was fun and somewhat productive, so I will now share this with you. :)

I know this is a W101 game and I wouldn’t call Hunger Games exactly E for everyone… This is not the time to worry! I have already spouted many mindless Percy Jackson and Harry Potter rants for all who care. (And those who don’t. Sorry.)

Anyhow. The point is if you link it with a twitter thing or a facebook thing you can get put in a district! And that’s cool! It’s really cool! Especially when---

Oh yeah, guys. I got district 4 because I’m just that cool. It probably sensed my diviner-ness… District 4 is like swimming and stuff so it kinda… makes… sense? No? Maybe lightning—>Electricity—>Power—>District 5 would have made sense. But District 4 is freakin’ epic, so I am extremely proud of this.

Brain crack comin’ soon.

Anyway, procrastinative diviner OUT!

:O

I should totally get back to that novel thing what I’m doing, but I’ve been majorly shocked. A new world already? It feels like just yesterday that Celestia came out, and I haven’t even been there yet! And to think the level cap’s extending to 70! It makes my 44 seem feeble in comparison. I remember the good old days where there were only fifty levels… yadda yadda yadda…

No, but I’m actually ecstatic about the updates. Zafaria looks great, and I can’t wait to see what Sirens Fiction (brilliant name) looks like. And the music boxes! :D I love the W101 score, personally. But obviously the best update is the ability to feed your pet random stuff. I have to admit, I’m going to enjoy feeding them lamp posts and ridiculously huge furniture items that would never be physically feasible IRL!

Anyway, back to the novel, eh?

Diviner OUT!
