Yay! I'm glad you're back! And that you liked it! Hopefully, I'll get that sequel going soon. :D

I am so happy that you are so happy. Lol. I'm glad you think it was worth the wait because it just gave me hell for months. So at this point I'm just happy to have a story at all. Lmao. But I'm glad you liked it! And I'll try to update every Tuesday for sure (that's my day off), but I might throw some other updates in from time to time. :D

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! Bucky's got a bit of a journey ahead of him, but I think Tip is "worth it." <- Hardy har har.

Yes! I have to admit, when I wrote the first story, it was never my intention for Vinnie to be so important to Piper. But shit happens. I couldn't let him go. :D

And thank you! Aw man. I'd suggest the battery thing but idk if that's the problem. I'm so glad it started back up again, but I think I might start saving for another one just in case. :/

Yay! I'm glad you decided to read it! Though I'm really sorry to hear about your back. :( Are you okay?

Thank you so much! I really wanted it to be completely different and to just let ideas flow instead of trying to push them. So it didn't turn out the way I planned, but that's what I needed from the start.

And thank you for reading it! I'm about to update the final chapter right now. I just got back from seeing Civil War and I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS. I'm so excited. It was so much better than I expected. I loved every second of it.

Aw, no worries about him. He's a huge asshole and I'm back to not wanting anything to do with him. But that just means he's back to being his awful self. So he's good.

Yay! I'm glad you like it so far. ^.^

*Screams* I'm glad you liked it! And Tony! There's lots of Tony in this sequel, I think. At least a lot more than there was in the first story. And some Jo and Tony having deep conversations. Serious situations call for Serious Tony.

I just realised I never recommended your account on here, and this whole time I thought I did it!!!! *hides*

Thank you! I love writing for Piper. She's so easy and fun. :D

And thank you! I have cake and booze so I think it's going well. Lol.

*Cheesy smile* Thank you! I'm glad you like it! I intended to work on it more after I posted the first chapter, but then I sort of got distracted by the Monster sequel. I'm not complaining because it's taken me months to finally get it figured out. And I've got 20+ chapters now. So yay! But I'll get to work on Brooms again asap. :D

Thank you for liking my stories and for the friend request! My name is Mandie. How are you?

@ Indigo Umbrella
Oh, I think you mentioned that before, is she visiting for long?

I know! There were different kinds of Platypies too, I think! The ground floor had Irish animals, then upstairs had animals from around the world. It was awesome, once I didn't think about the the fact they were dead :(

I live on a street with a Jehovah's Witness church, actually. I used to look into religions, I kinda found the theology behind them fascinating, still do in a way. But like you said, it makes you start to feel shit about yourself, especially when you realise people believe that stuff and in their minds, you're destined for hell. I mean, I don't judge people for their beliefs and religion - I'm all for people finding comfort and solace in whatever they feel an affinity with, but I stopped looking into the stuff when I realised that. You shouldn't have to feel ashamed of what you like. Actually, for years I kept my like of fan fiction quiet, and I didn't tell anyone when I started writing and posting stuff online over a year ago now. I felt like I would be judged or made fun of for doing it in my mid twenties. (side note-I told my friends and my sister a few weeks ago when drunk, and they all thought I had been writing fan fic all along and they were all cool with it - not one thing has been said since.) But yeah, like you, I would rather remain ignorant and enjoy the things I enjoy and be me. I love Harry Potter, and rock/metal/pretty much all types of music bar top forty, and science and sci-fi and fantasy. I also like drinking too, lol.

I know I've had other stories or scenes inspiried by dreams too, I just can't remember which ones lol. But yeah, it's sort of like your subconcious unlocks something that was already in your mind, but you never would have thought of it otherwise. I have a character that came from a dream, but I have no story for her yet. She's like, a warrior that would fit into a fantasy story based in another world. I just haven't been able to to come up with a suitable story yet, which is frustrating!

Yeah, Irish mythology is so awesome. There are so many stories, so much history in it. Even ancient Irish history is pretty cool. We used to have laws called 'Brehan laws', before we were invaded by the English, and women were able to divorce their husbands after a year and they could inherit property and animals I think, which was really advanced for like, 900 years ago. We were also split into 5 kingdoms, with one high king I think.

I don't remember the full story either, I learned it like, almost 20 years ago at this stage.

Oh, do tell! It won't ruin the story, don't worry!

It's basically the second job I wanted. It's the same company I worked for before, but it's in a smaller branch so it should be less stress, hopefully. I'll be back in Dublin so I'm pretty happy!

As long as you're on the ball, he'll be fine. You're aware of the dangers, so you can be there to make sure any issues, or extra help he needs, can get done.

It's tough to rebuild when trust is broken like that. We all have our issues with our dad, but he's trying hard to make up for it now. It's hard to not have a relationship with a parent, even if they've treated you like shit. I really hope you can some sort of relationship with your mom, if that's that you want.

That's good, at least!

Oh, what were they for? When will you hear back! Oh, I hope you get one of them!

Oh, yay! When will you get the car? And you will love the video This is the link.

Wow, that's a good bit of work. I really wanna get braces, but if I get them for €2500, I'll be doing well. And my priority is to get back to college now, so it'll be a while before I get them now. But totally check it out, it could be worth your while.

Yeah, he was so sweet. I just wish I could meet a guy like that here :( Ugh, maybe one day, when I'm like, 50, lol.

Super long is awesome though. Make it as long as possible. More Bucky= more happiness. Eeepppp!!!

No worries! My sister is visiting so I've been pretty busy too. :/

PLATYPIES! I LOVE THE PLATYPIES! Oh my gosh! Moose and koalas too! They are cute even though they are dead. *Sad face*

I feel that sentiment too. When my husband and I were together he wanted to go back to being a Jehovah’s Witness and since I was supportive I started going to meetings with him. But pretty soon I got sucked into doing studies with them and trying to learn with them. Originally I did it from an academic perspective but pretty soon I just started to feel HORRIBLE. Because my husband believed everything and I was like “If this shit’s true than I don’t wanna live anymore,” you know? And then it was like I had to be ashamed of the stuff I was into because I listened to music they frowned upon and movies they say is bad. And it was like I couldn’t be myself around my husband and my friends and I had to get out of it. It scares the crap out of me. I prefer to be blissfully ignorant with my Harry Potter and science. Hahaha.

THAT IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENS! It’s like your subconscious is doing all the work for you. Hahaha. “Here’s an idea! Enjoy that, waking self!” That happens a lot to me though. Like so often that I’m overwhelmed with ideas. Hahaha.

Oh cool! I will check out that wiki page. This kind of stuff is awesome.

I feel like I should tell you this because you might be more informed on it than I am… but I don’t want to ruin the story for you… It’s about my Loki story… and a certain Goddess. I had to do a lot of research about her. And she's not supposed to be as sneaky and conniving as she is, but hey. Loki wasn't too bad in the myths. I mean he was. But he was also like a... chaotic good. Rather than being the lunatic he is in the movies.

I think I’ve heard that story before… at least I’ve heard of the Salmon of Knowledge. But I don’t think I know the full story. Gonna check that one out too.

Oooh, interesting.

Dude, I feel you.

Oh yay! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you! Which one is it?

That’s another reason I’m scared to send my son to school. I know I want him to try out public school but I want to be more vigilant about how he’s treated and how well he does. I don’t want him to fall behind and get treated like he’s not smart because of it. I just have to keep a watch on him and do my best to adjust until he’s learning the way that’s comfortable for him.

Aw, I’m sorry to hear that. :/ It’s difficult to repair a relationship after going through something like that. You can get along and tolerate each other at best, but there’s really no coming back from it. At least in a friendly way. I think I’ll eventually talk to my mother again, but I don’t think our relationship will ever be the same. :/

Yeah, he’s pretty good at telling me when something bothers him. Luckily he doesn’t spend much time alone with him. If he does it happens very rarely. He’s usually always with me.

Ugh, I hate it. But I just did two phone interviews recently! And I think I did okay in the second one. Hahaha.

Speaking of which, I made my first two payments for my car. :D I haven’t seen it? Oh my!

I’m not sure how many teeth that is. Two root canals + crowns, four wisdom teeth extractions, and various cavities. So it’s a lot. *Heavy sigh* Yeah, we get royally fucked for healthcare here. My husband and I talked about going to Canada to get our teeth fixed. But the price it’s going to cost us to get there will pretty much even out the cost. So regardless I’m going to have to pay a lot of money. But Eastern Europe sounds great! Lol. I will look that up.

I hope so. :)

Ooh very nice. Lol. YOU GOT A GOODNIGHT KISS OH MY GOD HOW FREAKING CUTE I AM JEALOUS!

I know! I’m thinking about adding more until he gets there. But it’s getting so long and drawn out. And I actually REMOVED a great deal of chapters just to get it at this length. Like holy fuck. This story is probably going to be super long, with everything I have planned for it. Sheesh.

@ Indigo Umbrella
Sorry for the wait in reply. I thought things would calm down when I got back, but apparently not! Interviews and family days out and other stuff took up my time!

Oh my goodness, that sounds SO AWESOME! I wish we had something like that here. Stupid Ireland, with it's lack of cute animals :( But, speaking of bears and animals, I was at a natural history museum on Saturday, which was basically stuffed animals, and I came across these and thought of you.








I think that concept is perhaps the most comforting all all the 'afterlife' concepts. I just gonna choose to believe in that. If I believed in heaven, I'd have to believe in hell, and that thought scares me too much!

Oh, cool! I love it when dreams inspire stories. That story I mentioned, that I couldn't quite figure out how to write the a really important scene, that came to me because of a dream. Well, the dream isn't much like the story now, but it stemmed from a weird ass dream and then it took on a life of it's own. ( I think I made a break through on that story, actually, so I'm hoping I can start writing it again soon). I can't wait to read it, it sounds awesome.

Okay Cu Chulainn is a mythological Irish Hero. He basically single handedly defended Ulster from an Army, and he was a great warrior. His name was Setanta growing up, but one day, after playing an Irish game called Hurling, he's invited to his uncle's home for a meal. His uncle failed to inform his guard dog, so when Setanta walks up to the house, the dog attacks. Setanta, who is gifted in hurling, uses the stick and ball, to defend himself. The dog chokes on the ball (it would be akin to a baseball) and dies. His uncle is devastated at the lose, and Setanta declares that he will guard his uncle until he finds a suitable replacement. So, he becomes Cú Chúlainn, which translates to 'The hound of Chulainn'. So, in his later tales, he's referred to as that name. His wiki page is here here, it'll give you a better overview if you're interested

Then there's Finn Mac Cumhaill (pronounced McCool), who is similar enough to Cúchulainn. He eats the salmon of knowledge at a young age, which is a salmon of magical properties that bestows wisdom beyond compare to anybody who consumes it. He was leader of an army called the Fianna. His page is here.

Then there's Tír na nÓg, which basically translate to 'Land of the Young', and is a place where the mythical creatures live. It features in a few Irish stories, but the most famous would be of Óisin and Niamh, he's human and she's from Tír na nÓg. She whisks him away to her land, but after what seems like 3 years, he asks to go back home for a while. She lets him, but tells him not to step foot on the ground. He goes back, sees that 3000 years have passed in Ireland, and falls off his horse, then he dies. The page is here.

Ugh, the tabs thing would make me break the tablet. I do not have the patience for that kind of thing. Like, at all. I' the kind of person who screams and mutters evilly at my laptop when something pops up or it takes too long to load.

And I got a job! So, yay! I shall have money soon enough!! Eeeppp!

Ha! It's amazing how little things like that can make such a big difference to a person's academic potential. It's great that you're able to do so well with a few adjustments to the kind of classes you took. I always feel so bad for my older brother. He got left behind by the school system, he was just deemed not smart, but really, I think it was anxiety and also a little of ADD or something. He needed extra help, not just a resource class, but extra attention. He didn't get that, and he basically flunked school. He went back as an adult and did his exams though, which I'm very proud of. It was tough to do, but he did it. But yeah, he's a perfect example of what can happen when children get left behind by a school system because things like anxiety and ADD weren't even acknowledged, let alone taken seriously.

It was 14 years ago at this stage, but yeah, it messed him up big time. He doesn't have the best relationship with my dad, though my dad has tried his best to repair it. They get on okay now, but for years it was pretty toxic. When he drank, it would come out how much it still affected him. I think it was part to do with why he drank so much. But, he's clean now and they've talked things out so they're okay-ish.

It's hard to tell with kids sometimes. They love using their imagination, and coupled with a short attention span, it can be hard to get stuff like that out of them,especially if they're easily led like that. He would find a way to tell you though - I think you can tell if something happened that upset them, even if they can't you or don't remember what exactly happened. Actions and general behaviour is a big indicator, so if it were me, I would just watch out for if he acts out a little, or if he goes quiet and hides away.

That just sounds so like my brother. Like, if it was life or death or an emergency, he can do it. But, in general, he will do anything to not have to speak on the phone. He thinks his nervous stutter is worse than it is.

Oh, yay for buying a car! I hope you manage to go though, that would be awesome. Did you see his new video yet? It's awesome! You'll love it!

$9000? Seriously? How many teeth is that including? Jesus, sometimes I forget how much you guys get ripped off. That's ridiculous. It would probably be cheaper for you to fly to another country and get it done. That's not even a joke - look it up. Here, a lot of people go to eastern Europe to get work done, since it's cheaper even with the cost of flights and hotels, and we're not as expensive as you guys.

Boo Things will look up soon, though!

Ugh, he was so hot. He had an amazing English accent, and apparently he worked with an Olympic team or something. He was so nice. I went to the bar to get a drink, I went up beside him, but we just started talking. I say it was about an hour an hour, that we just stood and talked. Well, mostly it was me talking, about Irish history, and Ireland in general, and how annoying it was that London pubs closed so early. He told me he loved my 'Irish spirit', that I should be a teacher, and that he liked how passionate I was. Anyway, when the bar was closing, I found my friends, and he came and found me, and told me not to underestimate myself, and that whoever got me would be a lucky guy. Then, my friend interrupts ans shouts 'Would you not kiss her goodnight?'. Which he did. And it was awesome! End of tale.

I'm so glad you added a couple of chapters from his perspective. I love Jo and all, but 20 chapters is way too long to go without Bucky. I'm already going into Bucky withdrawals, actually. I miss him :(

Hey, thanks for commenting on The Medusa Effect

Bear World is full of bears. And you can feed baby bears. :D

Yep. It’s like that. I want more kids but I don’t know if I can handle the anxiety. Lol.

Exactly! And Pierre is an asshole! :D And there’s also people who believe when you die you make your own “heaven” sort of. Like The Black Parade concept. So if you didn’t want to exist anymore then you wouldn’t. And a Christian might go to heaven and a Buddhist might be reincarnated. So on and so forth.

I actually got the idea from a dream. Because for a while I kept having dreams about water and selkies a lot and it was weird. But the story was that my husband stole my seal pelt and so I belonged to him and we had our son together. But he wanted to keep me away from the ocean because he was afraid I’d find my pelt and go back. So he moved me out into the middle of this field surrounded by land and I was just miserable. But then his friend dude came to visit that he used to be a fisherman with. But it turned out that this friend dude was my selkie mate and since they can come on land every 7 years (or something) he came back to find me. But we only had one day to find my seal pelt. And also my son was really his and not my husband’s. So I was going to write a story about a selkie who’s trapped by her husband and gets rescued by her mate. ^.^

But yeah! I love Banshee’s too! And the Fae. And yeah, it’s going to be based in Ireland. But I’m not sure what time period just yet. Oh, I don’t know if I’ve heard of those ones. But tell me! *Pulls up a chair to listen*

I’ve gotten the hang of it now but it still irritates me. Like if I move my finger over the touchpad too quickly it will open up my last used app. And you can’t switch back and forth between them like you can with tabs. So I’ll be right in the middle of something when Netflix will consume my screen again. And it drives me nuts. I hope so too! I have my fingers crossed. :D

Lol. For damn sure.

That’s good that they’re taking it more seriously now. I think they are in general. Because when I was a kid I KNOW I had anxiety, but teachers were quicker to say “Put her in the special class” instead of saying “She might just be anxious.” And so for a long time I thought that I was just stupid. And then I went to college and they were like "You have anxiety. We'll make it easier on you by putting you in smaller classes with less restrictions. You can also take more time on tests and we'll move you to a separate room." Boom. Hermione Grangered my ass. And of course now I go to school online and it's great. Yeah! I think I’ve seen that before. And it’s so annoying.

Aw, that’s sad. I’m sorry to hear that about your brother. Yeah, he’s goddamn lucky he hasn’t done it again and I won’t hesitate to make it known that if he ever touches my kid again we’re gone. I think that he would if it happened within recent memory. Because if it were to happen in the morning and I didn’t see him until late afternoon, he won’t remember it. But if it happened within the past few hours he’d tell me. But it’s hard to judge with my son because he makes up stories a lot. And not like he creates elaborate stories. He’ll just agree with whatever you’re asking. You can say “Did you see an ice cream truck fly across the sky?” and he’ll be all for telling you that he most definitely did. So you kind of have to get it from him differently. And I haven’t mastered that yet.

It sucks being like that because I will literally put off calling an ambulance for myself just because I’m afraid of calling someone. Luckily I’ve never had to call them for Milo, but I HAVE had to call the poison control center. So at least I know I can do it for other people. It’s myself that I’d put off.

I know! I need to bug her! I’m just not sure if I’m going to be able to afford it. I’m buying my sister’s car for $120 a month AND I went to the dentist today to see about getting my teeth fixed and it’s going to cost $9,000 for all of them. $2,000 if I was just going to fix the one broken tooth. So I’m fucked basically. Unless I can get a job with health insurance sometime soon. I’m hoping it’s good too though!

Yeah see. That’s another thing. His fines, my teeth, my car. No money. :/

AWWWW! Cute guy alert! Yay! Tell me more. *Wiggles eyebrows*

Same here! But I think I figured out how their first meeting is going to be rewritten. Because he doesn’t end up coming in until like 20 chapters later. And I was like “Man, I miss him. I want this to happen already.” But I felt like I was rushing it. So I went back and added two chapters from his perspective. One is a flashback to the night before HYDRA came back and the other one is him watching Jo from afar and trying to remember her. So I decided that even though he’s regaining himself he still seems to have a memory block with her specifically. Which will later be explained because he repressed it due to having thought she was dead. So when she finally comes back around he’s like “I know you’re important. But I don’t know why.” And then she helps him remember some things and fluff ensues with lots of hugs and cuddles. :D

I’m glad! Hot guys and fun stuff! No worries. :D

@ Indigo Umbrella
I don't know what Bear World is, but if it's what the name suggests, then that sounds awesome!

I think I heard that quote before, and I can only imagine that must be how it feels. My mom said that if she knew the worries that come with being a parent, she may not have had children. Like, she loves us all, but she said it doesn't matter how old your children are- you are always going to worry about them. She also really wants grandchildren, but she also said in a weird way she's terrified of it, because it's more people to be worried about. It's a never ending job until the end of your days really.

The multi-verse theory is interesting, actually. I kinda believe in the idea that there are other universes out there, but whether energy can go from one to the other, I'm not sure. Pierre is a good name for a spirit! That's pretty cool! I sorta believe in the idea of believing in something enough to make it real, in that if you want to believe something is real, you'll see stuff. I don't think you create it, but you can manifest it in your mind enough that you see meaning in stuff and attribute coincidental stuff to back up what you believe. I haven't made up my mind fully on the topic though. I don't think it's impossible or implausible that ghosts are a possibility. I mean, energy can't be destroyed, and if you count the soul as a separate energy, maybe it does go somewhere else. I kinda think the idea would be scary though. When I die, I just want to be gone. The idea of being stuck behind is horrible.

Oh, that's interesting! I don't know much about Selkies - I would know more about Banshees and the Fae's but that sounds totally rad. Are you basing the story in Ireland? Irish mytholgogy is awesome. I loved stories about Tír na nÓg when I was younger. Cuchulainn is my favourite mythological hero. In my home town, and only minutes away from my school, we have Cuchulainns castle. Fionn McCual is another interesting myth figure too.

I'm glad I still have Windows 7. If I ever have to get windows 8, I think I'd go nuts. I find it really confusing, and so hard to use. And it's going good, still have to hear back from one or two places, but I'm hoping I'll have a job soon. I really need to get back into a routine and all that jazz, earn a bit of money!

Hehehe. Ugh, that would totally be me if I got my hands on any of the guys on my list. *Sighs*

Speech therapy should help with him with that, I think that's something a lot of children have. I don't think conditions like 'anxiety' were real concepts when we were younger though - certainly not here in Ireland, anyway. Mental health is only being taken semi-seriously now I think. Now, parents are more on the ball and know to look out for signs of anxiety and/or depression. Our generation kinda missed out on the 'enlightenment' as I call it. It's our kids that will benefit though. It sucks it took you that long to get diagnosed, it's a serious condition and it can be a real struggle to deal with when you don't know what you're dealing with. I hate when people do the whole 'my condition is worse than yours, so you can't complain'. That pisses me off. I saw something, and it was along the lines of 'telling someone they can't be sad because others have it worse than them, is like telling someone they can't be happy because someone has it better than them'. My mom is a bit like that at times, and it's so irritating.

My dad's never been violent towards me, or my sister or little brother, but unfortunately he has been violent with my older brother as a child - horrifically so. It's where my issues with him stem from - he did stuff that I wouldn't even say on this. It's also partially why my older brother has so many issues now. My brother wasn't the best behaved child, and because he was a boy, he was punished in a way me and my sister weren't. My mother was far more violent with him too, because of his gender. They know better now, and my little bro has barely gotten a smack over the years, but I think they see now that it wasn't right. They argue that it's how their generation was brought up, but it was excessive. I would go bonkers if wither of my parents laid a hand on a child of mine. That's assault, and if something like that ever happens again, remind your father that it counts as child abuse to corporally punish another persons child. Would your son would tell you if your dad spanked him when you're not there?

Oh, my older brother is like that.He has really bad anxiety, and he has a hard time talking on the phone because of it, so he'll ask my dad to ring up for him if he needs to make a call. My mom is anxious in the phone too, so I have to pretend to be her on the phone whenever she needs to make appointments or whatever.

Oh, I love that song too! It was so good. You should badger your friend until she caves in. Make her go with you! When I wanted to see MCR, I had to buy my sister's ticket, since she didn't like them and wouldn't have gone with me otherwise. (None of my friends like MCR, so they weren't an option either.) I'm looking forward to his new album, I'm hoping it's good!

And yay! I'm glad he's finally getting it sorted, even though it sucks he has to pay the fine. But even so, at least now he's able to get his licence back! Woo-hoo!

You should! When I was in London, I spent an hour talking to this really cute guy at the bar for an hour talking abotu Irish history. The guy actually listened to my rambling, lol. He told me I should be a history teacher. Ugh, he was a really hot guy! But yeah, this guy was British and he had no clue about Irish history, even though we were colonised for 800 years up until less than 100 years ago.

Yay, I want Jo to be more happy, less snappy, when she sees Bucky. Because Bucky is awesome, and he deserves to get hugs and cuddles.

I had such a good time, but you saw my blog, so you know that! Sorry it took me so long to reply, but now you know why! I promise I'll reply quicker next time!

I would like to visit Ireland. I think we already discussed that though. It sucks here but only because the country is so big and traveling is so expensive. So like we have a comic convention in Salt Lake, but it’s a four hour drive and there’s just no way I can even afford the gas to get there. And where I live right now there is NOTHING. And I’m kind of mad because my friends went to Bear World without me. :( I mean, it’s their family vacation but… I really wanted to go feed the baby bears. But yeah, Bear World is like a 5-6 hour drive. It’s by Yellowstone National Park. Which I HAVE been to! But I didn’t have glasses and I didn’t get to see a moose. I did see the old faithful geyser though. That thing goes on forever.

That’s why it scares me! Because I need time to myself and I can’t watch him constantly. Especially when he’s playing outside and I’m doing homework or like when I'm trying to shower. I have the window open so I can hear him if he cries. But I can’t stop him from going up the stairs or running into the parking lot. He knows he’s not supposed to but every once in a while he tries to sneak off. :/ But yeah, he’s actually pretty good on the stairs. Because we went up there last night to eat dinner with our neighbors. It was raining all day and the stairs are metal so I was really worried he would slip. But he was like “boing boing boing.” Bounced up the steps and didn’t even slip. He’s just my whole universe and… okay there’s this quote I had on one of his little baby boxes when he was a newborn. And I can’t remember who said it. I think it was anonymous but it basically summed up exactly what it feels like to have kids. It said, “Having a child is like letting your heart walk around outside of your body.” And that’s exactly what it feels like. Like I mean your actual beating heart. It’s vulnerable and you need it to survive and you’re letting it walk around and do stuff and it’s so fucking scary.

See, I don’t really know where I stand on the religious scale. I’ve just had too many experiences with ghosts or some kind of weird forces for me to not believe there’s something else going on. Like I’m a big supporter of the multi-verse theory. Which could very well explain why I’ve seen the things I’ve seen without there being a Godly figure in the picture. Like if there are multiple worlds and realms that all kind of exist side by side then we could be seeing glimpses into these various world. Be they alternate universes, or magical realms if that’s what you believe in, or the dead. But there’s also beliefs that say like energies can be left behind after someone dies or even manifest because of anger or grief or what have you. You can even manifest your own “ghosts” or haunting by believing in something strongly enough to make it “real.” Like for instance, when I was a kid I made up a ghost friend named Pierre and as I grew older I constantly blamed things on Pierre. Like I was just joking around saying that the remote is missing because Pierre took it and stuff like that. But I’m now 27 and Pierre has become my sort of family ghost. Like in Japan, you know? The shit that I’ve seen can either be explained by Pierre or it could be something else. But there are people who believe that I actually MADE Pierre by believing in him and blaming things on him. So there’s that too. Like I don’t really know what I believe. Just that I believe SOMETHING. If that makes sense. I’m not telling you these things because I truly believe them. It’s just theories I (or other people) have that might explain some of the freaky ass stuff I’ve seen.

But Irish ghost stories are amazing. Actually... Irish mythology in general is pretty fascinating. Did I tell you I'm writing a story about selkies? It might take a while. But I'm totes gonna do it.

My new computer has Windows 8 and it absolutely will not allow you the option of declining an update! Like my old computer you could put it off and keep putting it off for as long as you wanted. But this one gives you the option to put it off for one day and then it updates automatically the next day and you have no say in the matter. It’s so freaking annoying. Oh I saw that in your blog too! How is that going?

I’m gonna. I have the whole night planned. Lots of bite marks. Mine mine mine. Hahaha. I just imagine him going to work the next morning like in the makeup trailer or doing a photoshoot and them being like “Why are you covered in bruises, hickeys, and scratches? I mean, those are some pretty bad ones on your thighs. They look like bite marks. Are you okay?” Hahahaha. Better than okay if I have anything to say about it.

Oh that’s good. Yeah, he can put sentences together but his comprehension level is lower than kids his age. And he has… what they called it… something deletion. Where he just skips over syllables. And he obviously still struggles with certain letters. But he’s getting better at it so I’m not too worried. But yeah. That would piss me off. It’s good that they got the anxiety diagnosed though. I wish my family had done that early and spared me a lot of problems. But I’m 27 and was diagnosed over a year ago and they still tell me that I’m making it up and that I’m just shy and there’s no such thing as anxiety. Although, my dad’s new thing is that his anger problems are caused by anxiety. So I can’t complain about it because his is worse and I got it from him. -_-

My dad’s never been violent with me but I don’t think I’ve ever given him a reason to. Like when I was a kid I was too scared of him to ever talk back. I didn’t start defending myself until I was a lot older and I still struggle with it a lot. But he knows that if he ever lays a hand on me I will not hesitate to call the police. But he’s gotten violent toward my siblings. He’s never severely hurt them. Just smacked them and thrown things at them. Mostly my youngest sister. He was also a firm believer in spanking. I never got spanked but like I said, I never did anything. And he has spanked my son and I completely lost it. So he hasn’t done it since. But it still worries me that one day my son is going to cross a line when I’m not home or something and he’s going to smack him or spank him and I won’t ever know about it. I mean, for all I know he could have done that already. :/

Hahaha. Well the both of us have some form of anxiety. Like I can’t talk on the phone period, usually. And she’s more extroverted than me. But we both seem to have really bad phone anxiety. Hahaha. Like I go into actual cold sweats and panic attacks on the phone, and she knows this, but she’ll still ask me to call places for her. So when we’re on the phone together we’re like a couple of incompetent babies who have no idea how to exhibit proper phone etiquette. So we just kind of bumble around like fools.

I like the one song he did for Frankenweenie. I had it on my iPod before it died. But I think that’s the only song of his solo stuff I’ve heard besides the BFF song. But I have to go check it out because I loveses him. Lol. I don’t think my friend wants to go now. She keeps putting it off. And my brother wants to go but he’s broke as hell will probably make me pay for it.

Oh! Speaking of which! My husband went to get his license issue taken care of and they’re fining him $1,000. So we won’t have money to spend for a while because of his stupid idiot brother. I told him to take his brother to court but he said it’s not even worth it over $1,000. And they would wave the stupid fine if his brother just went down there and admitted what he did. But since he won’t do that my husband has to pay $1,000 to get his license back. Ugh. So yeah, I can’t really afford to pay for my brother’s ticket and his gas to take me to that show. Plus my brother is a douchebag and I don’t really want to hang out with him anyway. Maybe his girlfriend though. Hahaha.

Oooh okay. I’ll look those up when I get the chance.

^.^ No problem! Sorry I took so long to get around to reading it! I’m a terrible reader on Mibba. I always forget my subscriptions. :X

Yeah! I love him! And I definitely want him to get cocky and snarky when he’s more comfortable with Jo again and what they’re doing. But this being their first meeting since the finale, I didn’t want him to be like that just yet. I wanted him to be more cautious of her and her being more happy to see him. Rather than annoyed. Because she kinda got snippy with him. Hahaha.

Oh yay! Well that’s good! I hope you have fun! And hopefully there’s a job waiting for you when you get back!

No mistakes! Just fine. :D

Hey, it's cool, I do that shit all the time!

You're better off avoiding it!

Exactly! Here,we have an awesome landscape, and the tourist stuff is great when you're not Irish, but our theme parks are nothing compared to the US, and you have comic-cons, festival tours, different landscapes, you can go camping, all that stuff. Here is so boring in comparison. If I won the lotto, I would so move to the US.

Oh, it was horrible. Thankfully, he's fine, but it's so hard to keep your eye in them every second of the day, and accidents are going to happen. My brother fell down a few steps when he was in his baby walker as well, it was only 3 steps so he was fine but children and stairs don't go together. My ex fell down a flight of stairs in a baby walker too, he almost died I think. Your fear is totally understandable, but at least he's a little bit older and more coordinated, so it's not likely.

Yeah, his life could've been very different if it hadn't been spotted. He could be limping by now. I don't really believe in ghosts, but I don't rule anything out. Like, I'm an atheist, but I also accept that there's no conclusive evidence either way. My mom says she's had a few ghost/spirit things happen to her. I think I'd be terrified if a ghost or spirit tried to contact me, which some people have told me guarantees they won't go near you, if they're nice ones.

Ah, I hate when windows updates like that! And always when you're in the middle of something, too. But it's cool, no worries! I've been busy with interviews and stuff as well, hence why I haven't updated in a while!

I KNOW!!!!! It's almost too much, like....if I saw that smile every day, I think I'd die from some kind of overload. I'm not even joking when I say that. And yrs, Sebastian too, especially that little smirk. There is nothing sexier than a guy who has a sexy smirk! *sighs* and you should totally do that if you get your hands on him, you need to mark your territory! It'd be mandatory!

Oh, believe me, I was livid, never mind my parents. Like, it's great that he got diagnosed with anxiety out of it, so there was something there, but the school just wanted him to get them more money. My little bro's speech was slow at Milo's age too. He barely talked properly (as in, able to string a sentence together properly) until he was 5/6, and he's grand now. As long as they get a little help they can catch up quickly, and being around other kids makes a difference too I found. Adults tends to use baby talk without realising it, which I think was the problem with my little bro.

My dad can be a little like that. He's destroyed our living room, broken doors and stuff. He loses it sometimes. He's never violent towards us though, and he's never like, put us down or anything, unless he's in the middle of a tantrum. But you'll be out of there soon hun! *hugs*

Lol, damn I'm never that bad, nor is my family. We tend to just hang up on each other lol.

I really like it, and I'm normally not a fan of Frank's stuff (he uses too much distortion for my liking). And no way, that sucks. I really hope you can go, you need to meet him so that I can live my dream through you!

Hehehe. I still haven't had time to get a plan for the story yet, because it'll be a shit load of research. But, you should watch Michael Collins, starring Liam Nesson if you find what I told you interesting. (He's my favourite historical figure ever) Oh, and a movie called Wind that Shakes the barley, which stars Cillian Murphy.

And I saw your comment! Thank you so much, it means a lot when I see you've read something of mine!!

Eeeepppp!!! Old Bucky is so awesome though...so, so awesome. But at least you know what you want to fix! Eeeeppppp!

I'm going this Thursday lol. I wish I had already fine lol. I can't wait, since I've been doing interviews in the run up to it, so I might have a job when I come back!

I wrote this on my phone, so please excuse any mistakes!
