At Universal Studios for Halloween Horror Nights. I¡¯m just really happy that I get to spend time with my cousins ??

Also omg I need to audition as an actor next year

  Map & Ratings

Haunted Houses
Terror-cotta Empress ????????
-Based on fictional idea about Chinese Empress torturing people

Make The Cut ??????
-K-Pop themed
-Loud music

Inside The Mind ??????
-About the brain inside of a psychopath and his escape
-REALLY ORIGINAL I LIKED IT

Death Mall ????
-Eh except for this ONE GUY who dangled upside down from the ceiling AND was the only ghost who gave us a hi-five

Scare-zone
Happy Horror Days ??????
-Turned holidays like Christmas and Easter into horror
-The clowns yelled ¡°April Fools¡¯¡± when we asked for a pic :(
-Was so creeped out by the girl in the qipao but I¡¯d so love to play her bc the things people can relate to are the scariest to them

Pilgrimage of Sin ??????
- This dude was going around scaring girls and it was working until he saw me and came up really close and we just ended up having ten second eye contact
- There are super nice people though they can¡¯t break character but this ghost girl was just holding her hand in a heart when we took pictures

Shows
Laboratorium ????????

Loved it even though I have to admit it wasn't much of a kick (basically numb to horror at this point). The actors have my full respect for having to deal with people threatening or making fun of them. Now I¡¯m home and it¡¯s 3.30 am but I¡¯m wide awake and actually feeling happy happy for once in so long. I¡¯m just ???

I know it¡¯s not likely to last but for once things actually seem good??

Like tomorrow technically today my Sunday class kids are having their end-of-year performance and I¡¯m such a proud mama hen

Plus I have a session with the autistic girl I¡¯m working with and when she smiles I feel like she can fix the world

I wanna keep feeling this way.

Ok I¡¯ve rambled too much goodnight

Mother: COVER YOUR MOUTH I¡¯M GETTING TISSUE

Belle: *sneezes uncontrollably while her mother attacks her with tissue*

Mother: BELLE! BELLE!

Me: Please pass the hoop to your mum!

Belle: *looks at me*

Me: *gestures*

*Mum ends up inside the hula hoop laughing hysterically*


-

Mother: Belle, ask ¡°Do you want green tea or coke.¡±

Belle: Coke!

Mother: No, not for you! For Jingle and J.! Do you want green tea or coke?

Belle: I want!

I love this family to death.

Am I the only one that gets affected by my characters? One of them is currently in an argument/fight and although this was totally planned my face flushes every time as if I'm the one saying these rude things for real. In fact the reason why I'm writing this is probably because I'm trying to avoid replying and feeling guilty about it xP

Lol you're not alone, although I guess it depends? In some situations people know exactly what the character would say and would type it out in lightning speed without feeling anything, but I think it happens to everyone [on different levels]. We're all emphathetic, some more than others, and it doesn't help if you've got a close connection with that character. I think we feel it more deeply if they are actually a part of us, or a side representation of our own personality or thoughts, not someone created just for fun or plot. Well it can also happen if it's a character you're fond of :) But it's just me thinking so nvm

That makes a lot of sense actually! When I use/create different characters I try to relate to my emotions but the things they do sometimes don't match with what I'd do. So it makes me squeamish when I have to rp things like Prim yelling at someone instead of talking it out or harboring hate xP I find it all so interesting though!

True, and I guess it's much more uncomfortable for a creator if the actions are something one wouldn't really do, or are stepping out of one's comfort zone. Also I don't know how/why some seem natural even if I don't do it often, for example with unrealistic pranks and such (someone please explain!) But it's also the same when a character has to act out of character too. This is so confusing.

I don't think I can help you with that one Maya xP When a character has to act out of character is very true, it¡¯s a bit like pov inception? It¡¯s during these times I ask myself if I¡¯m going nuts or something

Today is my birthday, 
and I'm riding high
Hair is dripping, 
hiding that I'm terrified
But this is summer, 
playing dumber than in fall
Everything I say falls 
right back into everything

I'm not in the swing of things
But what I really mean is
Not in the swing of things yet

Riding around on the bikes, 
we¡¯re still sane
I won¡¯t be her, 
tripping over on stage
Hey, it¡¯s all cool
I still like hotels, 
but I think that'll change
Still like hotels, 
and my newfound fame
Hey, promise I can stay good
I'm little, but I'm coming for the crown
I'm little, but I¡¯m coming for you
I'm little but I¡¯m coming for the title, 
held by everyone who¡¯s up

All work and no play
Never made me lose it
All business all day
Keeps me up a level
All work and no play
Keeps me on the new shit, yeah

All work and no play
Let me count the bruises
All business all day
Keeps me up a level
All work and no play
Lonely on the new shit 

Only bad people live to see
Their likeness set in stone

Only bad people live to see
Their likeness set in stone
What does that make me?

I'm not in the swing of things
But what I really mean is
Not in the swing of things yet
I'm not in the swing of things
But what I really mean is
Not in the swing of things yet.

I love late night Skype conversations with friends. One of my friends called expecting just one of us to pick up, except all four of us answered at the same time. We ended up having such a great time talking and I felt so happy ? So much has happened since we¡¯ve met face to face, but it¡¯s funny because you feel like you just pick up where you¡¯ve left off. It means a lot to me and I¡¯m grateful for that.

On a side note, I¡¯m reading The Golden Compass and it¡¯s making me wonder what kind of d?mon I¡¯d have. Kinda weird but I¡¯ve never figured out what my ¡°spirit animal¡± or patronus or things like that would be. I kept getting Marsh Harrier for the HP quiz and I guess it fits?? Birds have never been my favorite animal, though.

I know right!! I wish the artist did more of these!

Me too! Wherever did you find them?

The site is called feelafraidcomic.com :)

Brilliant! Thank you Miss Jingle! ^.^

Haha. Love the Kiki gifs! XD

Hehe you¡¯re welcome! :D I¡¯m glad you like them, Kiki¡¯s or really Studio Ghibli in general is awesome!

Alone in this body of water
Cold and blue 
I've got no you

Fingers numb, head frozen open
I feel it all
I'm feeling nothing at all

Throw my neck out
Breathe in the salty air
Would sting my heart
If it were still there

Crumbling limbs
Come heave me out
Unwillingly thawing
Restarting my route
 
Your blue love gave me blue skin
And my ardor's foreign now
A stranger trying to find my way 
out of this bleak town
My feet are sore
The gravel's rough
But I'm not going
Back down underwater

So I'm picking up where I left off
Surrendered soul
Tortured broken
Find my whole

Sea of faces
For sure I'll find
But as of now still
To you I'm signed

Your blue love gave me blue skin
And my ardor's foreign now
A stranger trying to find my way 
out of this bleak town
My feet are sore
The gravel's rough
But I'm not going
Back down underwater

Colours; clouds will float on by
But I've got only eyes 
for the blue-grey sky
Come gloomy, call out to me
Say you'll take me in again
I miss the sore, the melancholy
All I want to feel now is 
the sting I feel with you

Your blue love gave me blue skin
And my ardor's foreign now
A stranger trying to find my way 
out of this bleak town
My feet are sore
The gravel's rough
But I'm not going
Back down underwater

So on I go
Psuedo bold
Find a way to fix my empty
Before I grow old

SO. I wonder if a certain someone successfully emigrated to Neverland yet.

Maybe she did.


Or maybe, she had trouble at the Customs and everything was detained...


Or maybe, she arrived only to have her plan ruined by the hungry crocodile

^lmao this is u eeyyyy

I wonder where she is now! But just in case her expectations were destroyed, here is something she can copy-paste into her intros:


Welcome to the club.

...I think I should stop messing around before I get permanently blocked from this thread. Or worse, reported on this site.

(Please don't do that, though. Take all my pixie dust but leave my wellbeing alone, thank you)

Happy Birthday, Jingle!! I'm so, so grateful for your entire existence and so glad to have met you on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. I have no idea when we began exchanging PMs and I don't regret a day talking to you (hey if you secretly shake your head every time you receive a message from me, my apologies). You are the Leila Stars in everyone's life, and thank you for being there for us when we need someone to talk to. I have no idea how you spread so much positivity with sunshine and flowers, but never stop, because I can't find someone else who is willing to do that just to make a person's day brighter. Also, I was joking when I compared you to Captain Hook (or was I? Ahahaha¨D)

This is how I picture you:


(Before we continue, I want you to know I'm like, this *holds up index finger and thumb close together* mad at you for making me look up Kaguya again because I almost shed a tear)

You see how happy she looks in that picture? I really hope you get to be as happy and carefree as that, nevermind about the rest of the movie. I know life can be hard sometimes, and I'm sorry I can't do anything about it, but One Does Not Simply give up.

Now, you may sometimes feel like this:


But as absurd as this idea may seem, sometimes all you have to do is this:


Because:

(Not saying you shouldn't cry, tho. Also, we're not the completely unhelpful and confusing bunch in Alice in Wonderland)

People are going to let you down from time to time, and you might find yourself burying your head into your pillow because you can't find it in yourself to even look at this world anymore. But I promise you that this place we live in hasn't lost all it's innocence, not yet.


Why, have faith in the children. Please help educate them so we can nod approvingly at the future generation, because I have no idea WHAT is with teachers nowadays but they are discouraging af.

Because I have a feeling I'm going to talk for hours if I don't stop here, let's change the topic. Look at this image of one of the most handsome specimen ever:

^Literally my childhood crush. I don't care what you think. p.s. sorry you can't see his face

I'm just kidding. Congratulations on wasting a few precious minutes to read this letter/message that has headed in so many directions it's hard to even sum up.

*shakes maracas*

...This is going to be my death sentence, I swear.

Conclusion is that we all love you, you amazing ball of glitter. Keep on smiling. We wish you a very happy birthday, and it's okay to cry having turned a year older. We won't judge, promise :DDDD

Last but not the least, you can fly! You can fly! You can fly!?

This will never meet up to Maya's post, but something is better than nothing.

So this little girl *points at self* set out in an adventure to find the perfect gift to a friend who seems just too perfect. However, her friend is so immaculate that no gift seems to be good enough for her. Hence, she got a cake that looks tasty.

Accio birthday cake!



Wow I'm good at magic! xD

Eat up while I narrate the adventure.



While I was on the train to I-won't-tell-you-where, I saw two girls of the same age frowning and looking away from each other. Throughout the journey, all they did was fight like a married couple. It was sooooo weird because it was until later did I realize that their parents were the married couple. One of them, the blonde, kept calling the other "Primrose" and Primrose didn't seem to like it a lot, but she was a lot more affectionate than her sister and called the blonde "Lu-lu". But gosh! How they fought! I was so glad when they got off at the Frasville station near Witenberg Academy, but what I noticed was that they seemed right for each other.

*Lucy slaps Hallie hard*

Okay, I won't live forever and I'm definitely not going to live a minute longer if I don't stop talking about these girls, so let's move on.



The next place I went was a small hotel. Frankly I was scared to be all alone there, but when I entered, it was full of awesome people! It was a blast there and I made a lot of friends. I still didn't find the perfect gift.



After stopping there, I went to Hogwarts with one of them. She was an amazing girl (of course!), but I don't know her real name. I do know her nickname though, but it was hard to create a nickname for a nickname: "Jing" didn't really sound right, so let's call her Leila Stars just because it suited her. She was such a pleasant, optimistic and amazing girl! I wish I could have stayed with her forever, but since I didn't find the right gift, I had to leave.



Someone directed that there was a good gift in the Slytherin common room, so I went there. Guess who I saw there? Primrose and Lu-lu! I was so confused because they got off at- never mind! The only thing I found there was colour-changing walls, so I exited before Lu-lu..... Help! I'm being attacked by a mean, blonde girl!



I left Hogwarts and came back home. It wasn't like me to do this, but I took a stroll to check the neighbourhood, and I saw one of the prettiest houses ever! I looked in and apparently it was a little nursery! There were so many little kids running around and being um, kids! What impressed me was their cool teacher. She was young and super kind and caring! The kids love her; I love her too! I'm pretty sure the kids never want to grow up and leave her!

That's when it hit me! Perhaps I should get my friend pixie dust to never grow up! I didn't get it, though :( I'm sorry, dear friend. So I got her this.



So that even when I'm not around, she can always hug this little friend because she is awesome and even if she grows up and turns into a grandmother with no teeth left, she'll still be awesome. So I wish her,

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry give me a moment to compose myself

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JINGLE!!! ???

I hope you have a wonderful day and be sure to enjoy yourself while you're at it! :D And hopefully this special day will be filled with lots and lots of treats along the way as well. ;-) Here's a cheesecake in case you don't get to have any:



Happy Birthday!

  Letter to Maya:

Jingle was about to emigrate to Neverland successfully, however she was spotted by Father Time who sent a ticking crocodile for her :( so coincidental hmmm *stares* Fortunately, she can¡¯t say that she¡¯s completely unhappy because she's realised Neverland had no WiFi so she wouldn¡¯t get to see you guys :¡¯)

Okay but seriously though, thank you. I can¡¯t even begin to express how grateful I am for taking the time to write this brilliant message (also I¡¯m really sorry the one I made for you was nowhere as great. I¡¯ll get better at my skills I promise :( ) I definitely don¡¯t shake my head at seeing your messages, in fact when I get messages from you and Hallie and Alia it makes my heart do a little dance (cheesy I know). Regarding making someone¡¯s day brighter, I think you might be describing yourself?? *stares harder* hmmm

I¡¯m really glad that you see me as even a fraction of the things you said, even though I have long to go before I become a Leila Stars. I just don¡¯t how to say thank you without turning into a recorder but I shall just compose myself with this. ·Ç³£¸Ð¼¤ÄãµÄ¹Ø»³£¡Ï£ÍûÄãÿÌ춼ÄÜ¿ª¿ªÐÄÐÄ ¡ª ÎÒÃǷdz£ÕäϧºÍÄ㽨Á¢µÄÓÑÒê?? (view spoiler)[On another note, I may or may not have been stumped for a moment wondering if you¡¯d read that in Cantonese or Mandarin? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Also, I totally get why Haku would be your crush he was the coolest guy character Ghibli ever made (hide spoiler)]

  Watching Hallie¡¯s Adventure:

I kid you not, I was a wreck reading all your posts so I assure you that yours means a lot to me and is definitely more than a ¡®something¡¯. Like, I literally don¡¯t know how to thank you enough and since I¡¯m already a mess - *stuffs cake while watching tearily*

Seeing how ¡°Lu-Lu¡± and Prim have grown really made me realize how long we¡¯ve known each other and how glad I am that we made sisters, even if they hate each other to bits BUT STILL xP When I first met you and volunteered to collab I literally was thinking ¡°Wtf have I done I don¡¯t know how to rp and Hallie¡¯s such a good writer¡± *here I crawl into a hole from embarrassment* And as for awesome people, *coughs* tell me when you¡¯ve read this so I can delete

Seriously though - cake, Hogwarts, a nursery and a teddy bear - I¡¯m going into hyper hugging mode, which you¡¯re going to be a victim of *aggressively hugs Hallie and a certain grumpy blonde girl* Thank you so much for narrating this adventure ?? I¡¯m really not as amazing as you make me sound but I¡¯m so thankful! (view spoiler)[Cheesy as heck but there couldn¡¯t be a better gift that knowing you guys there I said it (hide spoiler)]

  To The Wonderful Lorien:

Thank you so much for remembering!!! ???? I¡¯m really grateful that I got to know you, apart from getting free cheesecake I am thankful for how kind and positive you always are and the fact I know I¡¯m not alone in loving Studio Ghibli :D Excited for your turn to come!!

*looks at post* I think I did something wrong because the birthday girl looks like she's about to cry! *searches for pictures of cute otters*

Hehe that was my favourite part in Witenberg along with moderating with Maya and Len xP Nooo you're better than me, so I'm the one who should be hiding from embarrassment! *begins to search every single birthday thread even though there are only two*

Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!! xD *hugs back* You're more amazing than I made you sound like :)

Someone explain to me why Hallie's post moved me to tears (I mean I know it's not even my birthday and that's what makes it even more embarrassing ugh)

Jingle- Hm...bring the WiFi to Neverland so we can all stay there forever #thuglife But let me first ask you, what do you mean your post was nowhere as 'great'. You even had a template, for goodness' sake. Explain yourself. And I thought we all liked being cheesy since no one judges over here, hmm? *stares back* Do you really want to fight me on who's the real sunshine over here? *lists proof* Hmmm?

But I thought Leila Stars was just you (who had the luck to actually explore Hogwarts) Also I think we all have the ability to project our entire being on a fictional character (don't we do it all the time?) p.s. I first read it in Mandarin and then in Cantonese when I saw the last message??

I wrote it to make Jingle happy, and look what it's doing instead xD

*mentally hugs otters* Just what your writing does to us Hallie :') (and Maya is no exception) Geez when your birthday comes I need to make sure it's something crazy special/

Maya, I'll have the wifi settled and then we can make a run for it. Also I definitely have enough evidence myself to fight you on this, I can't remember how many times you've cheered me up?? xD But let's agree that everyone here is little sunshine in their own way.
