...
I honestly don't quite know what to say. I think I'm in shock.
So I'll just go ahead and say it:
I think I just published a book
Me and mum had been planning to do it for some time, but she finally put it up on amazon today. It has three stories, two of hers from the blog and one of mine that wasn't put up anywhere. Brand new and special just for you <3
I can't believe she actually published it. I don't know what to make of it, either O_O
On the other hand: WHOO I PUBLISHED A BOOK! YAYYYYYYY!!! *0*
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Dreadful-Nights-Volume-ebook/dp/B00BZ7OMEM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363983948&sr=8-1
It's up there. It is a real book. We are real book writers. ^o^
If you do get it, could you do us a really really big favour? Mum wants some people to review it and say what they thought about it and stuff. You need to scroll down the buy section and go to this bit:
And click 'write a customer review'.
We'd be very grateful if you did. <3
Well, I hope you enjoy our little book as much as we enjoyed writing it.
And don't worry, there will be more stories to come. We've not finished writing just yet.
Remember: Stay out of the dark ;)
Okay, I'm back again ^o^
And look what I found waiting:
Yay MSP finally got a design studio!
Reasons why I hate it:
EVERYTHING IS LIMTED FOR GOD'S SAKES!!! XO
You can't have more than one sticker and there aren't that many patterns OR templates either. It's pricey too.
Typical MSP, typical. You finally listen to what the people want and you give them something that dissapoints...
Oh who am I kidding? I love it really x3
Still, this stuff needs to be said.
Shut up you. Just shut up -.-
Anyway, I get that I've not been on a lot. And that is probably going to continue for who knows how long. I've just lost my will to do it anymore, what with all the lag.
And the bitching.
Yes, I said it. BITCHING.
Can you people find nothing better to do with your time? Seriously, it's getting really stupid now. I understand if you want to have a row over forums or a chat window, that's fine. Everyone gets to say their piece and 'enjoy' it.
But now it's starting to go too far.
Let me use an example I got from Ellie a couple of days ago. (Yes, I know most of my posts have been about Ellie lately, but she's my only BFF who still seems to play this game and hasn't migrated to IMVU or adventure quest worlds.)
Meet Stelliana. Ellie was doing one of those 'watch so and so movies and get so and so gifts' things. Stelliana didn't get her gift (usual storyline.)
She made forums to snipe at Ellie for not delivering said gifts. Then she made a blog.
Okay, okay, I can hear your cries of 'but Missy, this is everyday stuff. How is it going too far?'
There are several reasons why this is too far.
First off, when people do these things there are usually a lot who go to complete them, meaning you might have to wait a while for your gifts. People get impatient quickly on this thing, so might start feeling 'scammed' because someone is having to go around and give said gifts out.
Don't get me wrong, I understand how this upsets people. We're not very patient creatures, but still we need to learn to cooperate peacefully. That means instead of going up to someone and yelling 'WHERE IS MY GIFT YOU **** **** ***?!' They could just calmly go up and ask when said gifts will be delivered.
Now if the gift-giver freaks out and yells at you, try not to retaliate. Understand that you're not the only one asking that question at this very moment in time. The gift-giver is stressed right now, so give him/her chance.
Oh I've gone off topic, anyway back to the point.
Second reason is the forums. I know how we all enjoy a good forum fight, even though we pretend not to. Hell, I love them too. Though I'm a natural bitch, I accept that. But looking on my back point, you can quickly see why it can go out of hand/ be put on there for the wrong reason. So everyone gets all het up and shouty trying to defend their side of the argument and nobody is left happy.
Except me, who finds shouting oddly refreshing. Maybe I'm just I am weird.
Third reason is the fact she actually went and made a BLOG specifically to bitch about how Ellie hadn't given her said gifts on time.
Seriously?
Okay, I understand people making a blog to HAVE a blog but end up putting bitchy stuff on there when they get angry (as I do. A lot of the time. But you people seem to enjoy it enough.) but making an ENTIRE blog with the soul purpose of BITCHING?
I had it happen to me once, but it was more amusing than upsetting as the person who made it wasn't the best speller...
Either way, that is the point you should stop and think 'hey, this is going into pathetic/petty territory now, I really should stop and leave it.'
And if THAT isn't the point you stop, THIS sure as hell should be:
THREE MONTHS LATER?! FOR GOD'S SAKES THESE AREN'T EVEN REAL GIFTS! WHY ARE YOU EVEN FIGHTING THIS LONG?!
Because humans are proud creatures, but there needs to be a point where you put your hands up and say 'okay, this is stupid. I'm giving up'.
But no, the fight must keep going on until it becomes ridiculous and tedious for us all. It's a reacuring theme, someone freaking out over some small detail or argument and exploding it into a huge one.
Which could be said for me, but hey. I've never made a hate forum, only forums to stop the fighting. My blog isn't JUST for writing bitchy posts. I make sure the majority of my arguments stay and are resolved in the chat box by themselves.
And most importantly, I know when to put my hands up and say 'that's enough. I'm sorry'.
Sometimes.
Honestly though, I think everyone on MSP at one point or another has bitched or been bitched about. It's not something that we can avoid, but it's something we can try to reduce.
It just makes me tired, though. People having major fallouts over nothing.
Also, don't forget the prejudices and stereyotyping and just tiny little comments people can take offence to. Such as this one, which I have been getting a lot lately:
To which, I will always reply:
It's not a matter of level, people. It's a matter of preference. I'd prefer to have a bf that is level 1 but makes me laugh and smile and feel happy over one that's level 20,000 and is a total jerk.
Such as with friends. I prefer lower levels because they actually awnser you and talk and be friendly. Not that I have anything against higher levels, but they usually act so cold. Anyone else felt it before?
Probably some people have felt it about me, one time or another.
Oh well ^o^
Rant is finished.
Also I went kind of nuts on the dragon thing and hatched loads more. If you wanna have a look, here's my scroll:

Okay, that's all for now. Take some time to decompress :3
Also, do me a favour and end any arguments your in on MSP. Do the right thing and just give it up and walk away, make yourself the better person. Go on, let's have a goodwill week free of fights :3
Buh-bye peepz ^~^
Hello my little cupcakes x3
I decided to go into a chat again after spending a very long time out of them.
I don't like the new idle animations. Or the blinking.
Dear God the blinking...
Anyway, I decided I would harass and take some lovely photos ^o^
You notice how in every chat there is at least one person who speaks randomness?
Usually it's me, but still.
Nice to see someone else do it, for a change.
Also, I think it'd be really cool if MSP managed to create a way to turn your chat off but still be online, so like all your friends couldn't see you were on/talk to you. Like a quiet mode that it'd be easier/ less laggy to make movies with. Cause I have too many friends to delete some.
Dragons
First of all, two of my dragons have grown up! Yaaaay ^o^.
I named one after suggested names and named one myself. So meet:
Also, at the bottom we have two new eggs because they were special edition valentines ones.
I am aware they have the same shells. That was an accident, but they are NOT the same egg, so click on them both as well as the other two. Otherwise they'll die and I'll be sad. :'(
~fingers crossed for a boy. I am very obsessed with this now.~
~JUST KEEP CLICKING~
Buh-bye peepz :3
Hey guys!
I think we can all guess who won the competition, but I'll do the official bit now.
In third place, we have Tasha :):):) with her fabby banner:
She wins two gifts.
In second place we have....
Random red_head! With a total of 27 votes from the people!
Here is her lovely banner:
She wins four gifts.
So finally that leaves us with livliv2408!
Her banner wins with a total of 55 votes from the people AND is the source of our new look!
Here is her banner, and she wins six gifts:
New things about our new look:
1. Background and wallpaper.
2. The music pod has been taken off
3. We have more eggs! (explanation of the below)
4. The game hasn't changed because I can't find an encrypt code for a good unicorny one.
5. To add to that above statment, all unicorny rampage games look like they'll cause epileptic fits.
Now, onto DRAGONS.
Our first two grew up again into slightly-older-than-hatchlings-but-not-adults.
And they finally got a gender.
Look:
Typical. I so saw that coming. .-.
So I got BRAND NEW EGGS!
Meet Swirly and Cloudy (nicknamed these ones) my two new eggs.
If these come out female, I won't be impressed.
SO GO CLICKY!!
Also, don't stop clicking on the other two. They still need to grow up or they'll die.
Special offer time!
I need to think of names for the two girls when they grow up. So I want you to put name ideas in the comments below. I'll pick out my favourites and put them on vote ^o^
PLEASE no names that are stupid/ cliche. I will decide what those are.
Also the max number of names you can suggest is FIVE.
Also make sure you have a LOOK at them before writing.
Thank you :3
Okay peepz! I have some gifts to give out so I'll leave it there.
Have fun with the new decor ^o^
Peoples we have a problem with the banner competition!!
I CAN'T DECIDE!
We have a definite 3rd place though.
Well done to Tasha:):):). You'll get your gifts after we sort out the dilemma.
This is her banner:
Right, now dilemma.
I have found two banners that I think are equally amazing and both deserving of first place. Since I can't decide, I'm leaving it up to you ^~^
Banner one:
This banner is by livliv2408. I love the colour scheme and all the random little phrases.
Banner two:
This banner is by random red_head and is pretty much my usual style, which is why I can't decide.
So now it's up to you, peepz. Do I stick with my usual style and theme, or go for something a little more sugar-sweet and unicorny?
VOTE IN THE POLL SECTION!
Voting ends at over 100 votes. Just to be sure.
Also my eggs have become hatchlings! Please keep clicking! ^~^
I went and looked back at my very first post and it was dated 5th of Febuary, 2012.
So it is offically the 1st anniversary of my weird little blog. Yay me ^o^
My blog isn't going to just be for MSP anymore, it's going to be my little random blog for everything :3
Anyway, first order of business. A new blog year needs a new blog banner. Same rules apply as last time, but for those who've forgotten how it works, I'll repeat.
You need to make a banner out of an artbook and put it on your blog. I won't accept just artbooks. You can edit your banner using an editing programme off the internet or your computer if you want.
Give me the link of your blog when you've finished.
Prizes are as follows:
First place: 6 wishes
Second place: 4 wishes
Third place: 2 wishies
Competition ends on Saturday/Sunday so get creating.
Second order of buisness is a little bit of nit-picking comments from here and there while I was gone.
First comment:
Let me make this clear. No matter what rumours you hear or how long I stay off MSP or go without updating my blog, I HAVE NOT QUIT. If I do someday feel that I am too old to continue checking up on my MSP, I will post a message on here saying so but will probably continue to update on other things.
Don't trust rumours unless you hear from me yourself!
Also, another thing I want to clear up on is impersonators. If someone goes around saying they're me on MSP, Xat, whatever, you need to ask them for proof. If it really is me, I'll happily use my account to send a confirmation that I really am MissM. If they're fakes, they won't be able to do that. If they try to bluff out of it, they're faking.
Okay on to second comment:
I stole a quote from Miranda there, in point number one. But in all honesty, she's not the first to make this comment.
Listen peepz, the reason I don't change my mouth is because I don't like the other mouths. I really don't like my avatars having lips that are too pouty or round, it's just not my style. I have to say it's rather pathetic that people comment on it, as it's a case of personal preference and not a look of status, like this girl is suggesting here. And, in all honesty, I like looking the way I do instead of being a sheep to other people's styles, as this girl is saying I should do here. (I.E: 'You don't look VIP!' Basically translates to 'You should change yourself to what the MAJORITY look like!')
Comment three:
No, it does not stand for monster, mystic, mystery, moo or whatever extreme things your thinking of. It actually stands for my middle name. Any attempts at guessing/ asking/ calling me my middle name will be met with silence or extreme annoyance from me :3
Final bit:
I joined this click thing, which is basically a popularity contest plus dragons where people have to click your egg to make it hatch. So at the bottom of my page, we have a new addition.
If you could check there every time you come on and click on the egg, I would be greatful, cause I want to make a big family tree using it.
So far, I have this:
That's my egg. The parent dragons aren't my dragons though. I'll show you the family tree as it gets better, if you help make that happen, of course.
SO GO AND CHECK THERE AND CLICK ON THE EGGS!
Lots of information there peepz. Lets take a moment to decompress...
Here's a little checklist for you:
1. Stop and think/ decompress (Done.)
2. Re-read the rules of my blog banner competition. (Optional if joining)
3. Go click on my dragon egg(s) at the bottom of my page next to the stickfigure killing game. (COMPULSORY. MUST BE DONE OR YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO LEAVE MY BLOG. EVER.)
Go on then. The list is waiting.
Also Happy Anniversary bloggers. This wouldn't be possible without all of you.
Love you all lots and lots. Candy gifts for you ^o^
~throws sweeties~
Yes, yes. I know I've not been on for a while. But it's not my fault, really.
Remember how Ellie captured me? Yes, well, things got a little... complicated. Actually, I kept a little diary of everything that happened. Read it for an explanation of where I've been, or skim-read it if you don't have a lot of time. You'll get the idea since I'm too lazy to explain.
*Day one*
Dear Diary,
Turns out Ellie is the traitor and leader of the dark unicorns. After all the dramatic screaming of 'no' and 'why' and 'you traitor', Ellie went on to do that evil-supervillan monologuing thing which got quite annoying so I escorted myself to my cell. It's actually quite comfy, since we were best friends and all. And I found a pen and this little journal, so I might as well make a diary.
I hope someone comes to get me out soon.
*Day two*
Dear Diary,
Me and Ellie had an argument about prisoner rights. Apparently, she won't pay for me to have healthcare OR proper television. Crying didn't bend her to my will, so I just sat and sulked for a bit while she went to build some giant laser to destroy the earth or something. I don't know, I wasn't listening cause she was doing that stupid monologuing thing.
I think I might just sit and wait for someone to rescue me. They can't be THAT long, right?
*Day three*
Dear diary,
Still waiting for someone to come....
*Day six*
Dear diary,
Still waiting...
*Day fifteen*
Dear diary,
Still waiting -.-
*Day twenty-seven*
Dear diary,
I give up. Nobody is coming for me. Ellie finished her giant laser thinggy so I might as well go and stop her. Nothing better to do without a TV -.-
*Day thirty-three*
Dear diary,
I managed to stop Ellie with her only weakness: pepper. Once all the darkies were unconscious or having sneezing fits I was abducted by a shiny light. At first, I thought the aliens had come for me to re-claim their particle accelerators, but I was wrong. It was actually a unicorn spaceship where I met the high queen unicorn, who thanked me for getting rid of the laser thinggy and told me that the unicorns were staying on earth forever. Then we had a crazy party which is actually still going on.
I'mma go back now. PARTY WHOOO!
Ohkayy... I can't actually remember writing that bit. But, either way, when I woke up I was in my room with a weird shiny egg. It's at the bottom of my blog SO CLICK IT.
CLICK IT CLICK IT CLICK IT CLICK IT.
Thank you :3
Also, a big thanks for everyone who actually TRIED to bust me out of there. So close, yet so far :3
NOW GO AND CLICK THE EGG!! I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT! THE UNICORNS COMMAND YOU!
