MINECRAFT and other items of pointless discussion

Hello there. First of all, I just want to say that there will be a couple of links in this post, and I encourage you all to check them out.

I was reminded by Dragona by his blog ( Dragona's Blog ) of something that I've wanted to post about for a long time. There is a game, my friends, that defies the laws of gaming, because while it is the most unrealistic game I have ever played, it is simply ADDICTING. 

This game, people of the 'verse, is Minecraft.

I love it. 


I am addicted to it.


And like Hell you won't love it too.



What makes Minecraft so addictive that I haven't stopped thinking about it for the last few weeks? Well, the gameplay, i guess. It is still in Alpha mode (i think it goes Alpha, Beta, then the game is released), which means the actual game hasn't come out, and it is still being created, but it is down loadable Here, for free, but only the singleplayer. 
The singleplayer starts you in a randomly generated map, where you are most likely surrounded by sand. And by sand, i mean blocks of sand.

Because that's what minecraft is all about. Blocks. The whole system is based on a pixel-like setting, which at a first look you may find it dodgy and not worth playing. But the thing is, this whole game was created by the legend 'Notch', who is around 17/18 yrs old. No company. No huge enterprise. Just a guy and his blocks.
Notch has created a complicated game with no storyline and endless possiblities. For instance, this is my house. After a good, oh, i dont know, maybe 100-200 minecraft days (24 minutes each, i think) i have created a castle-like building that towers over the land. I have built it so high that i have actually reached a point where i can't place anymore blocks. lol.
This is my house. Yes, that is a waterfall, and those are little torches lining up to the house. It started as a tower, and then i started building those islands in the air, to build my crops and grow trees. A Sky Farm. How original of me...Oh yeah, and that figure you see is me in 3rd person mode.

A little closer. This is my front door(s). There is a little gap between the door and the walkway i am on, so that when mobs (enemies) are following me up the walkway, i can open the doors, jump through, shut them, and they fall down into the pit.

Right inside, first floor. The door is down the bottom corner of the screen, it that general direction. 3 things to note here. One, there is a chest there, where i keep all of my mining tools and day tools (axes, spades, pickaxes, and torches). Two, there is a tunnel going down to my elaborate mines, full of lava, water, and possibly even dungeons. And three, this is in 1st person mode, and i am holding a block of dirt. Down the bottom of the screen is  my health+inventory. Also, you can see some windows. Just marvel at that scenery.

Second floor. Around this time of making it, i had found heaps of cobblestone, and thats why the floor is no longer dirt. Bottom left is the entrance to the first floor. Straight ahead are stairs to the next floor, and also a chest where i keep all my diamond, gold, coal, ect. Above me is a little balcony made of glass, which we won;t get to, unfortunately.

Two more floors up. The ones we skipped where boring, really.This is the top of my castle/tower, where (for about five minecraft days) i was content with sitting this high. Then, as you can see, i got the bright idea of building outwards to make 'Sky Islands'. The big white thing in the top right is a block-cloud, which i am high enough for it to pass through my castle.

Pivoting 180 degrees, and we can see the beginning of my 'Islands'. On the left we have my man-made waterfall, which is pretty cool. Five buckets of water and viola, it goes all the way down the mountain. On the right we have a huge abundance of trees. Cos in minecraft, wood is one of the most important things in the the world. The other is coal.

This is my couch made of chests. Both of those chests are chock-a-block full of bread, which i harvested from those crops (On the right side. They go through about 6-7 stages of growing, and this is the final stage. After harvesting wheat from them, they also give you seeds, to plant more crops.  Food gives you health when you have lost some. So far, i haven;t really left my tower for a while, so i havent needed the bread.) . There is a ladder there, which you can see leads up to the trees. And this is the last picture. Now go forth and download this game, or for the people with enough money, go and BUY it. Half price while it's still being created. 



And that's the singleplayer. The multiplayer is much different, but just as fun. Plus, you don;t need to download anything. Just go to this website ( remember that you have to make a login first tho ), and then click on a server. You are given heaps of blocks and can do joint creations with other people, making stuff like boats and houses. Castles, beds, hotels, pixel art, the possibilities are ENDLESS! I have a login, and i suggest going to the 'Stormcom' servers. The one i go to is currently down, for some reason, so i guess it will be pure luck if i see any of you. When it does come back on, i will tell you all where to go, and we can have a massive party.
Until then, build, don;t 'grief'' ( when you go up to anyone's creation and randomly destroy blocks, deleting their work until it is an almost unrecognizable mess, causing "grief"to the creator. ) and enjoy minecraft.

Btw, the multiplayer is infinitely better. Mainly cos i can talk to you all there. :D


Now, onto other pointless discussion. Or not so pointless. I don't know how you'll see it. 

Well, for owners of Blackberry phones (I'm looking at you, Lenka), last week i got the trackball on my blackberry replaced, because i lost it. It came all the way from China, and i was surprised that i got it for $3, so when it arrived four weeks after i ordered it i raced to my room to unite it with my phone. Now i am carrying my phone everywhere, and the ongoing story i have stored on there about Leo Sparks has tripled in size. Only thing is, now my media card has failed to work, and i lost a coupla movie trailers i had stored on there. I have backups on my comp, tho. XD

Ahh. But i need help. The internet won't work until i get some credit, i think, and the only thing i have left is the blackberry messenger.

Um, help, anyone?

For some dumb reason, i can't seem to add someone's email and then message them with this app. When i go to add a new contact in the messenger, it asks for a PIN Number. 

wth?


I thought it was like an email, like inferno-joe@blackberrymessager.com or something. Help, plz?
And, uh, yeah. The next part of the story is taking longer than usual. D:

I did finish all my exams tho, and i did pretty well on them. Tuesday is the last day of school and then HOLIDAYS!!!!! YESS!! EPICA!

With holidays, both Louis and i will have more time to do creative stuff, instead of gaming and making songs. Our Dad wants us off the computer more, and so Louis says he will be drawing the next picture. Mary Hiashi, i think. Sometime this week. Hopefully....


OK! Well, i'm off to play some Minecraft! Good luck in playing it, get onto the multiplayer ASAP, and i'll talk to you all later!

  1. Hellboy... I've seen this game before somewhere... I think my friend downloaded it onto my memory stick... I can't remember the name, but it looks like this... but for a REALLY good game, if you have a wii, get GoldenEye 007... it's awesome... anyway, I remember the waterfalls especially...


    And your the inferno-joe who was following my blog? Sweet...

    ReplyDelete
  2. i have seen Goldeneye, Dragona, but if you want a REALLY good game, get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1, and play it on PC. Cos all games are better on the PC...

    And i want to see you all get usernames and join me on minecraft! INCLUDING YOU, Kallista!


    ALSO Kallista, i vote A.

  7. i WOULD post my name, but since my last name isn't that common, when you type my name in google you find links to my Twitter pages, Facebook and all the other rubbish my friends want me to join, so, maybe one day... in the... very.... distant future...




    Hey! I'll let you guess my first name though: NO clues! ha!

    ReplyDelete
  8. lolz, Kallista

    Lenka, i'm guessing it's Amy, like Kallista said. Somehow, that kinda fits you...

    And Kall, i reckon your name is Rachel. Cos of the 'hell' bit. Kind of...


    AND KALLSITA!


    I KNOW YOU'RE ONLINE!


    The server that i have been playing on just worked. It is called 'Stormcom Freebuild oph+' and roughly has about 20 people on it. JOIN!

    UNless you haven't already gotten an account. *glares*


    Serioulsy. I'm on right now. IT's awesome. COME QUICKLY!!!

    ReplyDelete
  9. OH!

    And Lenka, I NEED HELP WITH MY BLACKBERRY!

    Every time i go to 'add a new adress' for the Blackberry messenger thing, it says that i need to enter a PIN. WHat PIN??

    ReplyDelete
  10. Awesome!

    Kallista, its k that you can't play minecraft. What really matters that you lost some of that story! That is so unfair! God, i hate computers sometimes.


    2morrow from about 3:00pm onwards (according to the blog clock thing...adelaide time...) i will be playing minecraft online.

    The server i will most likeley be on is called 'Stormcom Freebuild oph+'. I frequent that server cos it's awesome. And i'm a highly ranked player there.

    (on that server they have ranks, and the higher rank you aer, the more building abilities and so on you can do. When you start off you are a guest, and then you build something, an OP ranked person will check it, and then depeding on how good it is you will be promoted. And so on and so forth. UNTIL you get to 'Master Builder' which to get to the next rank, OP, you need to do a 'test' , where you are given no study and have five minutes to do a variety of challenges including bot adding and spheroid making. Its a hard challenge, but i racked up a good cheat sheet and passed cos of it. :D ill help you when it comes to that, i swear. By then i might even be the one testing you, and ill give you easy questions)

    I read that poem, and i commented. This guy Octoobana sounds really good at poetry. I wonder where he gets his inspiration from.


    And last, but like hell not least, your name.

    What a beautiful name. Michelle. Almost as awesome as Joseph :P

    (lol, jkes)


    -Hellboy

    P.S i won't call you by your real name if you want. 'tis up to you.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Amy IS a nice name.... oh god i'm going to have to use that in a story now xD but incorrect. Kal, Jessica is actually my middle name, so close! My Dad wanted to call me Jessica or Pamela (WHY?), and with my mum around they were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not gonna happen ;)


    Hellboy! Kal! You have awesome names! Michelle is beeeeeautiful <3 xxx

    Ok, ONE HINT, my name sounds really cliché. Not a great hint, but all the other hints would be reaaaaaaaally easy xD



    STILL: EPICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA names! :D

    ReplyDelete
  12. dammji8t! IASLWAYS MJUIUSS YOU KAZSKLKUSEA!

    that was written with my right middle finger knuckle.

    sadly, the only word i can spell right that way is 'you'.

    Well, Lenka, i'm only gonna guess once, incase i do a list like Kal did and then i accidentally guess it.

    Is it out of these five: Chloe, Emily, Olivia, Sarah, Courtney, Isabella?

    wait.


    ...that wasn't five...



    N-LOL!!!!1!! That wasn't funny! Just me stating the obvious!!!

    (n-lol means 'not laughing out loud')

    ..lol...


    somehting mah dad made up. It was his attempt to create some lingo and we've been making fun of it ever since. I'd never say it out loud in a group of friends tho...



    Something horrible happened today. I went online in minecraft today, onto the so-called 'nice' server that i usually go onto. It turns out, instead of being OP (operator, a status that i claimed by going thru a very hard test) , it turns out i had been demoted by two ranks. I asked at large wth had happened, and i was answered by two of my least fav. leaders. Cwieker, who was also OP, and Epsilon, who was an architect (way higher than OP). With a variety of smiley faces and XDs, they told me how 'some people' had talked about how me and a friend (lightpies) and said that we had not been very good at our job. Now Epsilon wouldnt tell me who these people were, but i wouldnt give up. I kept asking HOW i had been bad, and he said that he wasn't actually there when 'the supreme court' ruled and demoted me and lightpies.


    At one point, Epsilon even (because he is one of the highest ranks) used his commands and special abilities to talk as Cwieker and frame him, saying that Cwieker was the one who had first said that i had been a noob and convinced all of the other higher ranked players to demote me. I found out that he was doing this, and he tried to break it off with a simple 'oh, lol, sorry'. Like hell i was gonna believe that.


    Then Lightpies came back on. We talked, and in the corner of my eye i notice that simultaneously all of the higher ranked players 'disconnected.' Of course, i knew the real story. There is a command called /hide that tells all lower ranked people that you have disconnected, and then makes you invisible. I knew that they were doing this so that i would talk freely, and so that they could catch me saying something about them and then ban me.

    I said stuff anyway, whatever i wanted, about how bad the server was and how corrupt their leadership rules were. Light completely agreed, and he says the only times he will be going to that server is to find me so we can talk and then go to another, FAR better server which we are both friends of the creator. his name is Death and he promoted us both to the highest rank because we helped him earlier.
    So that's were we are hanging out. Next time i see the server, ill add it, remember the name of it, and tell you all.

    God, i hate leaders.








    In the meantime, DO NOT GO ON ANY STORMCOM SERVERS!!!


    They are ever so slightly CORRUPT.










    Also, Jodi, you have not said a word about minecraft. Plz answr me.

    Ok, g'night all.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I like how you called me Jodi, Hellboy *laughs* not sure why, it's a name i always used to answer with when i was younger with the whole 'what would you name you're child if it was a girl' thing


    plus, neither of you are correct. Insanely close, but not correct





















    MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA








    Ahem, sorry. I have not gone on minecraft yet, but i will do ASAP. homework and all that rubbish... i cannot afford to get addicted to another game....geography assessment and.... Mario still haunts me....for not finishing...that game.....

    ReplyDelete
  14. :D


    Do you have snow where you live, Kal and Lenka?

    I don't. D:

    Late last night i met a higher up on the server who i was friends with and so i told him what happend and he said he would put me back up to OP when he had a chance. But it doesnt matter. I'm on another server now, with a better host. I met another person who got demoted as well last night called Purple Trees, and now both of us are planning to make a server with Lightpies. In fact, im off to find Light myself now. The server will most likely be called 'An Inferno of Light Purple'. lol, i came up with that.

    Bad luck with those tree problems, Kal. I'm sure that when christmas is over you can get out the old chainsaw and enact your revenge!!!!


    Lenka, i have a little hacked application, which runs a complete gameboy advance thing ON THE COMPUTER! That way i can play mario for as long as i like.

    However, im stuck on some stupid Boo castle part, where i keep getting to the end of one part and theres a door, and i go thru the door and START ALL THE WAY AT THE DAMNED BEGGINING!!!!@@#$%^!!!

    i pretty much gave up then. D:

    And plus, i swear, if i have two girls and one boy in my family, their names are so going to be Jodi Harte Bullock and Kallista Pendragon Bullock. And no matter if everyone at school thinks they have weird names, ill keep the Skulduggery pleasant spirit ringing...mwahahah...


    And i can't believe i was so close! Hmm, ill have to think harder now.

    And btw, I think that 'Amy' should be a name for an innocent, or something. Short story novel, that kinda thing. Like Stephanie. Kind of.

    ReplyDelete
  15. lol


    I know what black ice is! I heard about it in a German lesson! Its really hard to maneuver your car on it, or so ive heard.

    Damn, we have no snow. The worst we get is hail.

    ReplyDelete
  16. hey Kallista

    In about 45 mins i will be on a cool server with my friend on minecraft. This is actually a friend i know in real life, and it would be cool if you joined us then.

    The server is called "Mac's Freebuild Server'.

    Remember, 45 mins.

    ReplyDelete
  17. i think the problem is you need Java. If you don;t have that, i dont think the game will work.

    ReplyDelete
  18. :O i would be so freakin' pleased if a Bullock was named after meeee! Well Jodi Harte. But i made her. So.... i'm confused....



    And still no correct guesses Kal! Sorry xD


    ~You'll be kicking yourself when you find out ;D




    YES! we have snow! But we have a scottish head teacher so she makes us treck down to school in the snow :( ah well, i'm sorry you don't have any Hellboy! I'll try sending some! xD

    :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. no, sorry Kal! keep guessing!

    ReplyDelete
  20. *eats carrot*


    But Lenka, that would be fun trekking in the snow! With snow fights, forts and so on. Damn, i need to get myself down to my great uncle's farm in Canada...

    Oh and Lenka, you still haven't helped with my blackberry problem. It keeps asking for a PIN every time i try and add a Blackberry Messenger contact. Now while i use Pin codes regularly with my credit code, i have no idea why it's asking for one here.


    ???? Help, plz.

  22. pffft. Yeah rite, Kal. Everyone knows that the true spirit of the blog is you, Kallista the Beautiful Zombie Commando. NOW STOP PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN! I've read your stories and they are every bit as good as Lenka's, Alexs', Lizzy's, Skyril's, Mary's, and mine.

    But you're rite. Lets go gang up on Lenka. TO LENKA'S BLOG!

    ReplyDelete
  23. oh, with the Blackberry problem, just ignore it. type in a e-amil address, so like random@example.com and enter it. Unfortunately, it's not useful because the people you send things to have to download a blackberry e-mail file onto their computer, which takes time and effort, and not many people like to do that...

    ReplyDelete
  24. @Kal, have fun! Scareeeeeeeey Carolers... mehehehe

    ReplyDelete
  25. all on my own... i'm Larry-fied o_O

    ReplyDelete
  26. er, yeah. Hi. I'll update after you do, Hellboy cos quite frankly, i'm kind of just day dreaming about socks
    (basically, i managed to get a really cute outfit, but it's missing some knee-high socks. I NEED knee-high socks, and when i went out shopping, i couldn;t find any! Well, ok, one pair, but they were this ugly lime and yellow colour...eugh)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Plz share more on the blackberry prob, i dont understand.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Finally! I'm on at the same time as you!

    ReplyDelete
  29. lol, socks. I daydream about fixing my blackberry and winning a million dollars, and you're daydreaming about socks?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Ok, you press the blackberry logo-button to get the menu side bar, click add contact and type in a e-mail address. The person you're trying to add will have to confirm that you can send e-mails to them though.

    ReplyDelete
  31. oh

    that's weird. Cos i've done that with my own email ages ago and i haven't been sent anything. IS it cos i don't have credit?

    ReplyDelete
  32. well, yes. I'm wearing blue and white lady bug ones at the moment :P and i brought black and white polka dot ones with bows on tonight. Only to knee though, but still. ;D

    ReplyDelete
  33. I don't think so, mine won't let me send anything to myself either, it's just stupid like that. i sent my friend a message though once, and she got it but it wouldn't let her read it before she downloaded something. so i told her to ignore it and we just chatted on msn instead xD

    ReplyDelete
  34. WAIT! I clicked the blackberry logo button while i was hovering over the contact with my email and i clicked the 'email test' button. It says that i have no message services configured, and ill only be able to create a draft and not an email.

    ReplyDelete
  35. do you have hotmail/msn? cos then you could just download the blackberry messenager, which is much more simple

    ReplyDelete
  36. i mean it said email test because thats what i called teh address. So it will allow me to email people, its just that it doesnt have internet or somthing. Damn...

    ReplyDelete
  37. oh ok. I do have hotmail and msn. Where do i get the BM?

    ReplyDelete
  38. and i have no idea after that. i simply don't use the damn app cos it's so annoying with the downloads

    ReplyDelete
  39. http://www.blackberry.com/windowslivemessenger

  40. kk. I'll have a look. I just want to be able to email on the go and transfer the story on my bb to teh comp. THnx again, im off to look for downloads.

    ReplyDelete
  52. it's not like the outfit has a special occasion or anything. It's just something that i brought, because i simply could. i think i knew i would do this to myself so i had an excuse to buy more colourful socks... hmmmmmm....

    ReplyDelete
  53. D: i just remembered that i have next to zero socks. *sigh* i don;t really want to ask for socks for christmas tho...

    ReplyDelete
  54. oh no. You've all gone.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  56. what HAVE you asked people for Christmas then?

    ReplyDelete
  57. right now? I want to get that book, 'Gone' by micheal grant. Every store i look in they have all sold out, and they only have teh sequels.

    Apart from that, im setting my hopes high on an ipod touch. D: but ive calculated the money everyone is willling to spend on me, plus some of my own money, and there's not enough!

    ReplyDelete
  58. i want the new ipod nano (RED) cos it looks cool with the touch screen. Plus, it's tichy!
    I also asked for Glee stuff (surprise surprise)(Although i already know about one prezzie- i'm going to the Glee Live Tour in London next year!) some albums and book vouchers (cos my dad always gets mixed up with what book i want) and i kinda ran out after that. I dunno. A bag or something?

    the ipodtouch? New one with 2 cameras or the other one? it looks really cool! I asked about it but my Mum was like 'you have concert tickets, do you want the ipod more?'


    The answer was no, btw. But otherwise, i hope you get what you want Hellboy! One sec: i'm gunna go find the book on google ;)

    ReplyDelete

  80. hello? I found a sock website!

    www.shopsock.co.uk

    it rocks! No sign of rainbow ones tho yet :/

    ReplyDelete
  81. Hmm sounds cool!
    I'll check it out, but I'm kinda addicted to a game for the ds called Golden sun: Dark Dawn right now. :]
    Have you heard of it?? I had played both the old Golden Sun games {didn't finish the second though...] and especially loved the first one. Then I found out a new one was coming out a little while ago. You can imagine my reaction LOL.
    Now I'm totally addicted and playing for HOURS.
    Yesterday, I was off and but for about two hours online, and supper, I was playing the game ALL day. Seriously. :]
    But I WILL check out minecraft.
    :3

    ReplyDelete
  82. I went there and everything, but when I tried to play it started loading then just went to a black screen and sat there. :[
    I can't figure out what's up!

    ReplyDelete
  83. ????


    Wait-what? You'll never be on any blogs? EVER?


    OMG I'M GOING TO DIE!

    *picks up walkie talkie* Alrite! Operation 'Zombie' is a go! I repeat, operation zombie is a go!

    *squad commandoes barrel roll into the room, pulling off their helmets to reveal themselves as Lenka, Skyril, Dragona and (i;m just listing off a couple of names here-you won't all get to be squadcommandoes) Aquila) *

    OK! We have a zomibe gone awol, i repeat, a zombie gone awol.

    *commandoes whisper in anticipation*

    Well, right now the only obvious plan of attack is-well, is to stay where we are and hope she returns.

    *dismayed 'awws' from commandoes*

    Yeah, i kno, not the best plan. But i;m not even meant to be here- I'm a gorram writer, not a squad leader!

    Please come back, Kallista. We love you.

    ReplyDelete
  84. :OOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! KALLISTA!!1

    hehe


    but seriously this is a devastating blow to the blogging community :S :S :S :S :S :S :S :S :S :S

    hopefully you can email us and update us on your situation?

    oh and on a side-note, Skyril, I, LOVE, Golden Sun.....i really want to get the new one, but do not have a DS :@ ill try and get an emulator and play it on the comp :)))

    BUT KALLISTA, WHY, O, WHY, must you leave us so...., as hellboy stated, PLEASE come back, we all love you :D

    and hellboy, POST SOON, im like dying of boredom these holidays, and i have writers block :S Oh and can you ask Octaboona to comment on my stories, he is an AH-May-Zeng writer, as are most of the people blogging around here :D

    ReplyDelete
  85. Oh no!!
    Kallista, what are you SAYING???
    You canNOT leave!! PLEASE!!!!!
    You're.....the life of the party!!
    The great Zombie Goddess Queen!!
    Please come back!!!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Of course, Kallista!
    I don't know what it is you're going through right now, but I really hope it it gets better soon. And my prayers will be with you every night.... :]

    ReplyDelete
  87. As will mine, it truly is a tragedy when you feel completely lost within yourself, everything ceases to have meaning or prominence, and you truly begin to doubt who you are, but...you should never doubt who you are, you are who you make yourself to be, you are whatever you want to be, whatever you wish to project...

    I just figured out a large portion of my stuff with a problem last night, im feeling a bit better, and realize now that i only have to move on, to the next thing, and if needed, the next, and so on...

    I already know that regardless of what happens kallista, you are a wonderful person, if you weren't, you wouldn't have even taken a second glance and you certainly wouldn't have tried to comfort me, and say all of those beautiful things, your words have reflected what is truly contained within your soul...beauty

    A beautiful soul, is a kindhearted one, a funny one, a down-to-earth one, a glorious and wondrous one...i just hope that you take the time to see that you are worth every single effort imaginable, and that you cannot let one event or issue get in the way of your happiness...

    ReplyDelete
  88. I'll either be here, Derek's blog or reading Alex's stories.

    ReplyDelete

  93. Kallista

    Why do you want me and Skulgirl here?

    ReplyDelete
  94. *Octaboona prepares for the Futterwacken competiton*

    *Puts on long flowing rainbow coloured robes, a tall crumpled hat with a blue pineapple on top and lime green socks instead of gloves, also a long violet scarf with golden tassels and finally a pink dressing gown with pictures of bunnies on them*

    *and a red toothbrush in each ear*

    ReplyDelete
  95. *Octaboona starts madly futterwackening, flailing his legs above his head and balancing on his arms*

    *He starts to do an Irish jig and flaps his ears*

    *The futterwackening reaches a crescendo with my elbows a blur, until the pineapple on my head blasts off, I futterwacken ever more furiously catching the pineapple in my mouth*

    ReplyDelete
  96. *I start singing with my knees kicking up and down, electric toothbrushes buzzing away, my robes and dressing gown billow around me in splendour*

    *My lime green socks only add to the flash of colour and movement of the Futterwacken*

    ReplyDelete
  97. *My toes complete round after round of the Mexican Wave and I spin around furiously, legs tucked away behind my ears as I swirl ans twirl and pirouet, lifting of the ground with sheer intensity*

    ReplyDelete
  98. *Finally, I complete a triple sumersault, whilst spelling out my name in sign language, my feet create clouds of dust as I flip around, madly cackling away with an intense look of concentration, I juggle twelve unicyles and balance a giant array of fruit and a codfish on the tip of my nose and I FUTTERWACKEN, FUTTERWACKEN, FUTTERWACKEN. My arms flap around my ankles and with one last burst of glory, my robes fluttering, I dance a miraculous dance of splendidness, turn inside out, land on my head and wiggle my feet energetically*

    ReplyDelete
  99. How's that Kallista?

    Octaboona's Futterwacken is complete!

    ReplyDelete

  107. Lizzy, you are voting on The Futterwackening stand off between me and Kallista, see above for our entries. One vote per person, the person with the most votes wins and gets a prize, the loser a penalty. The winner then goes on to another futterwackening stand off with someone else.

    ReplyDelete
  108. that the heck is a Futterwackening?

    ReplyDelete
  109. Although mine is split between 5 comments.

    Don't forget the costume one. It's seperated between the rest by a comment from Kallista!

  124. The Skies of Oblivion

    Far above the sapphire wastes
    Skyril flies through bleak and dreary skies
    With not a single cloud
    With which to build a city of air
    Of minarets and domes and spires.

    She longs for swathes of mist
    And drops of dew
    And fog vivacious.

    Yet all she has is the lonely sky
    That looks below at the river of liquid sapphire
    That shatters at the edge of the waterfall
    And cascades far below
    To the Ravine of Oblivion

    And the midnight diamonds
    Poisoned by the sun
    Beautiful yet deadly
    They cover the surface of this world
    In towering spires of dazzling brilliance
    They are Epitome Incarnate

    Yet Skyril longs
    For the return of her race
    With their elfin eyes
    And pointed ears
    And delicate cheekbones
    Who dwelt in dappled sunlight
    Of forest glades.

    The last of her kind
    Skyril weeps amongst the shore
    Of a crystalline sea
    As she remembers
    The purple feather she wore in her cap
    When she still smiled and dreamt of stars.

    Yet she continues to soar
    Through an empty planet
    Orbiting its deathly star
    That rages in the blackness
    Of a silent sky.

    And Skyril longs for form
    For consciousness body and voice
    For flesh and blood and warmth
    For love and laughter
    Amidst the coldness of diamonds.

    Skyril mourns
    As she flies through the desolate waste of sapphire
    Running from the dark and the cold and the diamonds.
    Beneath the midnight sky.
    All alone.
    In silence.

    Florence and Thrice are at the top because I've known them longer and have a vague ideas for theirs.

    But the rest of you I don't know as well.

    Lenka and Rosella I've never even met!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  145. The calm of the breeze envelops me,

    Caressing my shoulders and tickling my neck.

    It calls me forward through time and space.

    On bent knee, I wait.

    Leaves fall at my feet,

    Cascading from their perches high above.

    I close my eyes and inhale deeply.

    Flowers, herbs, grass and spice

    Move through the air,

    Like cars on a twisted track.

    In the distance,

    Birds are singing their sweet lullaby.

    Life is calm and appealing.

    For once, I feel prepared...

    For anything.

    By Laurelle Stoughton

    Just relax. Take some deep breaths. Enjoy the poem.
