But how could I have missed replying to such a marvelous comment???<br /><br />YOU BEING HAPPY MAKES ME HAPPY. (We're just going to go around in circles getting happier and happier!!) (and most likely crazier and crazier, but that's okay) xD<br /><br />*preens* I'm Aussie, therefore I'm <i>cool</i>... xP (But... I don't have an accent?? ...YOU all have accents???) <br /><br />Your deal with Time sounds like an excellent idea... Hm, maybe I could sacrifice my sanity?? ...haha oh wait. <br /><br />So. Yep. LOVED your comment, Esther; sorry for replying late; and we shall communicate through sarcasm and fangirl shrieks forevermore.

In a hilarious, almost painful way. Also, not having a plot is relateable. So I don't know what's going on. <br />Me: "What are you DOING??!?!"<br />Characters: "It's for the sake of the plot."<br />Me: *shuffling through papers and looking under the table, my bed, the carpet* "What PLOT???"<br />Yeah.

Like, I ...I cannot tell you how happy this made me. Like, I know I said they last one made my day, and IT DID I PROMISE but this one just made me SO HAPPY Because I am sure that I have found a kindred spirit in you, and like Anne (of Green Gables), am starting to think they are not so rare after. THIS IS A WONDERFUL THING.<br /><br />Also, lolz, YOU'RE AUSSIE SO UM, FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!!!! I know I know, my American is showing, but STILL. I am obsessed with Australian accents thanks to a dear friend who traveled to America for my sisters birthday and an overabundance of youtube videos by Australians. <br />anyway YES!!!! (aww the Dear Little Friend. That was a good book, and he made the movie almost worthwhile. Well, and Lucy and Edmund obviously) I will definitely shorten it unless I am yelling at you WHICH I NEVER DO SO YOU SHOULD BE GOOD!!!! (shut UP, Jazzy's blog!! I NEVER YELL ON THE INTERNET AND YOU KNOW IT)<br /><br />*fangirl highfive back* (YAAASSS!! that was a pretty good episode too! I MEAN CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE. Though I wasn't too fond of Martha.) <br /><br />I've made a deal with Time you see, so that every minute I spend on here is crunched into the time of a second so I can take an hour to write a comment but only a minute has passed thanks to Time. However, I also tend to be slightly crazy on here and I am beginning to understand how the Mad Hatter got the way he is today. <br />LOL BUT IN REALITY I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. I don't even have very much time to free read (THO I DO ANYWAY MUAHAHAHAHA) or write on my nanowrimo novel (*WAILS*) or comment (*CRICKETS*) yet somehow I manage to do them all???? THE ANSWER IS NO SLEEP AND BLOOD SACRIFICES UNDER THE BLUE MOON AND MY FIRSTBORN CHILD YA DIG? ;D<br /><br />WOW I AM SO HAPPY I DECIDED TO STAY BECAUSE SARCASM AND INSANITY ARE LIFE (that sounded much worse out loud and kind of funny) OMG YESSS THAT SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH FUNNN!!!!!!!!!! <br />Girl, I know EXACTLY what you mean! One of the reasons I write such long comments is because I try my hardest to write comments that a) will make the reader smile (possibly even some SLRs as well as the intended audience) b) will allow me to rant as much as I want on any particular subject and c) will be REAL. my real self, using stories and thoughts from my real life and just make it seem like a Real Life (TM) and I will get to know the reader (er, answer-er) better. <br />sO YEAH ANYWAY THIS MADE ME HAPPY AND NOW I GOTTA GO REPLY TO YOUR COMMENT ON MY BLOG!!!<br />(you cruel piece of pineapple, making me comment on two places in the same morning. geez)<br />XD <br />~EstherEsther Eckstinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426316656857357188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652645226882883505.post-84459134837069368182017-11-11T17:50:49.736+10:002017-11-11T17:50:49.736+10:00Oh, hooray!

I never did get enough nicknames, considering I'm Aussie xD You might have to shorten it to SLR, though - like Dear Little Friend/DLF??<br /><br />*fangirl highfive* (I have yet to use the GIF of Ten saying "BLOGGING". But I will. <i>I will.</i>)<br /><br />(I am VERY grateful and glad to have you here, Esther! :D But I am also curious as to how you have enough time to write comments of such astounding length as those on Jazzy's blog...)<br /><br />(I LOVE BEING SARCASTIC and crazy too. So we can just sit at our computers snarking at each other. And I think I would actually prefer it <i>less</i> if you were just sort of 'bland' when you talked to me? if that makes any sense??

Not me, no of course not!! I tried to find that Batman gif for my own post and then gave up in frustration. The Lego Batman movie is awesome (and that's coming from someone who doesn't like Batman all that much). <br />My body count, thus far, is disappointingly zero. But don't lose faith in me, the stakes shall rise soon enough and by the end of the novel...We shall count the survivors on one hand. Okay, that sounded very dramatic and it makes me feel like a horrible person.
