Ahoy, me mateys!
It be Octobree, which means it nay be anywhere near Septembree, which means International Talk Like A Pirate Day be many tides past, which means it be appropriate fer Swashbucklin' Mallory to talk like a pirate now --- Aye, and only now!
Swashbucklin' Mallory nay be so fond o' talkin' like a pirate on the same day as all the other sea dogs, nay she don't ... Swashbucklin' Mallory be more o' a lone seafarin' hearty.
Plus I forgot to actually celebrate the parodic holiday on 19 September. e_e; But I refuse to wait three hundred and forty six days until next 19 September to be able to have my fun. >< I'll talk like a pirate whenever I feel like it, goddamnit! And if someone has a problem with that, well, they can go walk the bloody plank for all I care.
Yarrrrr! =_=
Now, enough scallywaggin' --- Let's get onto me booty! Wait ... Er. That could be taken the wrong way. What I mean to say is, uh, let's get on to me, um ... Buried treasure! Wait. No. That has an even stronger innuendo quality than 'booty' does. Um.
... Oh, fuck talking like a pirate, I'm no good at this! ;_;
I uploaded one new Witless WLM Conversation, which is the longest conversation thus far, and therefore filled with the utmost of lulzy enjoyment, so be sure to check it out!
I also uploaded one new scan to the Stickers page. Pretty minimal, I know, but it adds up over time! Honest it does. #_#;
And the Wishlist page got yet another update ... I suppose I'm gearing up for when my family starts checking out the page to get Christmas present ideas, haha.
Now, I realise these updates aren't the most substantial, and I also realise that this fact sucks, so I'm going to quickly continue on to the blog segment so you don't really notice. o_o;
First topic! My black cat Halloween costume I was on about in my last entry. I'm not quite done with the tail yet, but I finished making the ears yesterday --- And they turned out freakin' adorable! I was going to take a photo of them, but then I figured I might as well wait until the tail's done as well, that way I can pop the photos all into one entry instead of spreading them out through seventy nine.
I'm also going to make, ((Or purchase from this new pet store that opened downtown, I haven't decided yet,)) A cat's collar to complete the costume's accessories. Either way, it'll be black, and may or may not include an annoyingly cute little bell. ^w^
Speaking of the new pet store, oh my God, it's fuckin' stellar. They've got what looks like every single item any type of pet/pet owner would ever need, for one thing, but since I myself am not a pet owner, I was more interested in the massive menagerie of animals that were for sale!
While there weren't any cats or dogs, there were plenty of other adorable creatures scattered throughout the store: Chinchillas, great big fluffy guinea pigs, several green parakeets and a smaller, yellow, fluffy looking bird, many different types of fish and turtles, a bunch of fancy looking snakes and tiny reptiles, a single tarantula, ((Would you believe it was only fifteen bucks?! I was tempted to buy it for myself, but I knew my Mother wouldn't let it in the house, ROTFL,)) And an alligator. o_o
Yes, an alligator, which was apparently named Calvin, according to the wooden sign above its glass enclosure. And, granted, it wasn't a full sized alligator --- This one was probably only about a foot long, and judging by the permanent looking sign, I'm guessing it wasn't for sale.
Still, though, it's pretty cool to wander into a downtown pet store and be greeted by the sight of an actual crocodile --- Not to mention all the other animals! The visit quite cheered me up, and I really needed some of that, as I had been sick for three days or so with a pretty nasty virus.
I had a temperature of 100.4° Fahrenheit, ((Which isn't really that high, but I actually have a lower normal body temperature than most people do,)) The chills that always go along with a fever, a pretty painful sore throat, a stuffy nose, my lower back felt much like it did after standing for hours on end at the Green Day concert, and, of course, my appetite was non existent. x_x I'm still getting over it, in fact, but in comparison to those three days, it's hardly noticeable anymore.
Which is good, 'cause I'm going to need to be at the top of my game tomorrow --- That's when I'm going to decorate the inside and outside of my house for Halloween! ^o^ I'm not quite sure how I'm going to set everything up, but I'm hoping to try and make it a little different than last year. My goal is to put together a mini 'cemetery' in my Mum's flowerbed, but I'm not sure if Dad has the right materials in his workshop, so we'll see how it works out, haha. Either way, I'll take photos when it's all done!
Aside from all that random shit, the only other thing I wanna say before I end this entry is that you guys absolutely must listen to Three Days Grace's new single, Break! I swear, it's one of the coolest fuckin' songs I've heard this year. ((Aside from Green Day's new album in its entirety, of course. ^u^)) One of my favourite lines from the song, for obvious reasons*, goes as such: 'At night, I feel like a vampire ... It's not right, but I just can't give it up!'
Go ahead and give it a listen by clicking here ... And you can watch the music video at the same time, which features some seriously magnificent high speed camera tricks, not to mention a shitload of pink, white, and black goo being splattered on the band members. You know you want some of that shit. You can't help yourself. Everyone loves seeing their favourite musicians being splattered in colourful goo. This is a fact.
I shall now saunter off without notice and leave all of you baffled because I am just that random.
*In case those obvious reasons aren't quite as obvious as I imagine they are, I'm a vampire. Lover. I mean, I'm a vampire lover. That's all. o_o; Not an actual vampire, because, that would be very strange indeed, wouldn't it?! Not to mention impossible, since vampires don't really exist! No they do not! ^_^; No sir, no vampires in this plane of existence, nothing to see, move along now ... Move along, goddamnit! =_=
That cat tail has required lots of dedication. I would've given up and went and bought one somewhere. Can't wait to see your costume though. My mom made me a cat costume once, and once I had a spider costume. Those extra arms got in the way but it was still pretty awesome. I'm trying to decide if I should dress up when we take the baby trick-or-treating...
That sounds like an amazing pet store. I'm jealous. I want to see a live crocodile.
Ech... sick too? It seems like a lot of people are. Not swine flu right? (though if its been for you like it was for me when I was sick you're going to punch the next person in the face who asks you that thinking they're original).
*stands up and applauds* I'm so glad that you're getting back into the swing of updating -- this had me crying with laughter. I'm already giddy about my letter getting into Kerrang! magazine (go to my blog if you really feel like knowing about that XD) and the fact that MM.com has been updated so soon is a bloody magnificent deal! Today has just been my day, lover, it really has!
Nice to hear you're getting over your virus; I had a stinking cold that I'm finally managing to shift too, so we'll maybe be slightly healthier soon!
A graveyard in a flowerbed sounds appetising; can't wait to see the pics if you do it!!
Did you know I'm going to see My Passion in JUST OVER A WEEK? Well, I am. Next Sunday. And a week after that is..... GREEN DAY!! Bloody hell, it's all come around quite fast. Apart from possible plans to visit the Kerrang! tour in Jan 2010 (which features Young Guns and My Passion as the only bands I'm interested in), I don't have anymore gig plans as of yet and I'm really scared about this. Young Guns need to headline tour again so I can rape Gustav -- I mean, see them all again! >;D
Once again, loving the updates Moo! It's making me frantically happy, and that is not something I often identify with.
Anywhore, vampires do exist. Look at Wil Francis.

I missed Talk Like A Pirate day as well! Oh noes! :O Oh well, I still don't have anyone to talk like a pirate with.
I couldn't watch the video. It said that it's unavailable in my country because of copyright limitations. That kinda sucks! I watched the Green Day and Avril videos though which I oddly enough haven't seen before. I love the green river in the Green day video! But the pink goo in the Avril vid has a pretty colour. :D
Why in the world do such random people like to IM you? And why are they incapable of spelling anything correctly?
Though, I hope they never stop, because that section keeps me thoroughly entertained. XD When weird people IM me I normally just don't talk back, but you are hilarious.
I'm addicted to Break by Three Days Grace. XD I have yet to listen to their new album though. I really liked their last one.
The WLM conversation was hilarious!! I was literally cracking up while I was reading it. I like how he thought that you were actually serious.
I'm being a vampire for halloween. My mom hates it when i spend too much money for a halloween costume so I might just buy the fake teeth. -.-
I went to the pet store last week and bought a gerbil. I named it Alex..I'm not sure why though. I love that name.
thanks glad you like it
Hey, Mallory!
Thanks for your tag @ Lmxxrnd regarding my
latest post. :) I know, right? I'm trying to ban their
IP but I'm not sure if I AM banning their IP because
They visit my site while they're at work. I don't want
to ask them if it IS them because like Carissa said,
that would mean revealing it to them! :(
Thanks again fer the tag!
Lotsa Luv, Julia.
holy cow! She copied your entire layout?!! That's nasty. I'm glad that was over :D
It was pirate day eh? Oh I missed that entirely. :(
I don't know what Halloween is like since I've never been in a place that celebrates Halloween. But even if I'm there, I'd probably lock myself in my room and pretend I'm in Lalaland. Hahaha!
It's not so bad every time. The reason I dislike it generally is that the professor promises that everybody's opinion is valid and not stupid and things like that... but then a couple times when he's disagreed, he's gotten all vehement about it to the point where he was rather offensive. :/ And he talks a lot. Way too much sometimes.
Oh, haha, I just realized that that was NOT the answer to the question you asked. XD It's just because it is EXACTLY the kind of thing the professor would say. It just bugged me that time, I think, because the professor had just pissed me off with what I mentioned above. :P
I don't even know how to do flash or any coding. :/ It seems like Flash sites take forever to load; it's annoying.
But I know! Once I'm in the creative mood, I want to work on it, not have to work on silly problems relating to it. :P
I should have returned your comment earlier but I was rather busy... anyway, thanks for dropping by. Shame that the person on Facebook was actually a dude.
Yep. An immature ratbag, at that. *rolls eyes* I'm glad he gave you the impression he was some stupid cunt though, LMAO.
I like the idea you gave me, actually, though I have to say that I have never carved a tree before (and I'm quite scared to). I thought of post-it notes but that's been done like waayyyy too many times. I could give it a go though because it totally matches the name. :D
Thanks a lot though; you make me feel more eager to try. :D
Someone told me about that Pirate day. I've only heard of it once, and I didn't think people were so serious about it. I am terrible at talking like a pirate though.
I've owned a few pets in the past but they were taken back within a few days or weeks of owning... my parents didn't like it. Didn't think we could afford it.
Oh how I long for a dog.
I hope you feel better soon. Back pain sucks ass. And high temperatures freak me out. My cousin had a fit when he had a high temperature and got a bit of brain damage. :(
There better be pictures after your house is SNAZZIFIED. :D
I like Three Days Grace's old stuff - I'll check out that song later because it's 1am and I should be heading off...
Take care! <3
Hay! Your costume sounds fab :)
Im prob just going to be a witch this year lol
Iv always wanted a Halloween party and now that I have my own place I was hoping to do one this year but my aunty beat me too it so its going on hold again :'(

thaank you! the smilies look horrible though! ahah! if you look at the actual pixel (without the faces on them) you can see its actually totally messed up teheh!
yeah i know same! i still answer the questions though! i try to read the entire blog but sometimes i just skim through and only read parts and comment about that! but some people don't even bother! :( it's sooo stupid!!
wow i think this is a pretty long comment, well i dont know cause i can't really see it! maybe i've left longer ones...i always babble on and now i will stop. NOW!
oh it actualyl wasnt that long teheh!
If I were to decorate for Halloween I'd need at least 3 months planning, money, a pickup truck, and a trip to Home Depot. I love Halloween and making the yard gory and blood filled is always fun.
Are you going to put up a picture of your Halloween costume when it is done?
I know 0.o I really need to update :/
hallo gift on MG
you're welcome.i usually don't make ahlloween gifts but since im going to visit family nov 22nd for 2 weeks i decided too.i wont have a chirstmas layout this year though
Yeah, if I completely refused to do homework I probably would get chucked out. Which wouldn't be good. And then my mum would kick me out because she says, "as long as I'm in school I can live in her house but once I leave I'm OUT!" There's no love like a mothers!
Your blog just reminded me...9 days until I see Green Day! Whooooo! Holy cow!
I forgot about those who don't go to school. FAIL.
I missed Talk Like A Pirate Day this year too. That's two years in a row I've done that!! And I only found out about it just before 2008's, which means I'm always missing it. Remind me next year, Mallory!!
Have you ever used the English (Pirate) language on Facebook. It's even more confusing than your first two paragraphs, haha.
I don't think there is anything pirate related that wouldn't lead into an innuendo. It was funny to read anyway!!
I'll have to check out those updates soon. The conversation one sounds like a good read.
Can't wait to see your Halloween costume!! I'll need to get mine sorted soon, it's less than 3 weeks away!!
I haven't been to a pet shop in ages, but I'm sure I never saw an alligator there. It's usually just fish near where I live, haha. And the occasional rabbit. Your pet shop sounds so cool.
Wow, you're decorating early. My mum decorates our house on the actual day (if she actually decides to do it).
xx
i'll be gone half od december so it's pontless to make it and put it up for a week
Nah, I won't kill you. Shun you, maybe. ;D j/k. Normally I would agree with you about the whole American Idol thing. I hate 99% of the people who end up on that show (or they're so forgettable that I don't have the energy to hate them).
There's just this thing he does with his voice that I can't get enough of. The first time I heard him sing, I swear I about passed out. I would blog about the emotions I get every time I hear his voice, but I don't feel I can explain it adequately. I'm sure if I ever saw him live, I would have exactly the same reaction you did at the Green Day concert.
Now hopefully the Idol machine won't force him to churn out a bunch of shit. <_<
lucky... i wish i lived in canada
I can't find your tagboard if you have one... but thanks! :D Your layout is very cute too!
Oh my an alligator.. I'd totally buy it.. or maybe not I'd get pisses off at it probably and my cat would beat it up.
Are you going to any party with that costume?? post pict :P
Anyway hope ypu are feeling better ^^
tehe, he is a very gorgey creature ;]
LMAO, your WLM conversation xD haha, I love annoying random perverts on msn. They all seem to add me, so I go on webcam and put up my sisters barbie dolls to the webcam so they are all like "WTF" Fun times, fun times...
Pet shop sounds fun! I've not been in a pet shop in agggges, I remember when I was younger I asked my mum if I could get a dog tag to wear as a necklace :S I was a strange child. Still am :)
new orleans,louisiana
Ah, I see, I see. Well, you're very welcome :D
All I said on September 19th that was remotely pirate-y was 'yarrrrghh'. xD;;
That pet shop sounds awesome. I love randomly looking around pet shops. I was in one the other day in my local town admiring some bearded dragons. I love bearded dragons, and I'd definitely get one.. apart from the fact I'd never be able to feed it live crickets. x_x I know, I'm a huge wimp, but they'd scare the crap out of me jumping around and whatnot!
Can't wait to see everything you're planning for Halloween!
Youtube isn't letting me watch that video because I'm in the wrong country apparently, so I'll search for it and give it a listen~
I've never heard of talk like a pirate day! I feel so left out, lol. I'm not good at talking like a pirate though :\
The pet store sounds really cool, there's an exotic one near myself with a sloth! And I love chinchillas :) Also can't wait to see your cat costume! I gotta cut off short here b/c I'm in a super rush >_<
LOL! I always miss Talk Like a Pirate day... damn. But I thought you did a great job with the pirate talk! Very funny. ^_^ As was the vampire thingy at the end... hey are you a vampirate too?!?!
