James challenged me to write a short story about Brenda the cat in his meme reply. This happened.
Brenda awoke promptly from her catnap at precisely 17 minutes past 5 - that is, 17:17. Shaking out her scarlet fur, she padded into the kitchen and coerced her slaves into giving her some meat (they thought she was just a pet - gullible fools!). After checking in the mirror that not a hair of her glorious orange fur coat was out of place, she was ready!
Slipping stealthily out of the house and into the cool winter air, she hailed a French taxi and got in, giving the driver directions to the fair. As the vehicle zoomed through the traffic, she saw several dogs with their heads out the windows of their own cars - how disgustingly uncivilised, she thought!
She arrived at the fair with plenty of time to spare, her fur tinted golden by the last rays of the sunset as she strutted away from the taxi. The walrus wouldn't be here for another ten minutes at least - she could probably afford to relax a bit.
To that end, she wandered over to one of the stalls, where some kind of fat mortal was concocting a confection of waffles, crepes and lashings of chocolate sauce. To one side, an Asian was being distracted from his popcorn stall by a girl wearing some of Brenda's kin on her feet, and to the other side...
It looked innocent enough, a simple candyfloss stall. But that's only if you could overlook the fact that the candyfloss was foaming. It was bubbling up and over the side, flowing straight towards Brenda in a massive tidal wave of sticky pink evil sugar-based goop! Given that the normal texture of candyfloss isn't goopy at all, Brenda was pretty sure there was some evil afoot here, to have changed the molecular structure of the substance in such a way, and so she immediately sprang into action!
Being careful not to stain her glamorous azure coat, Brenda whipped out a fancy gadget of unknown origin and aimed it in the direction of the candyfloss goop-producing machine. Checking the compass at the top to make sure that it was definitely pointing the right way, she then pulled the trigger, and a spray of bullets and plasma spewed out of the device. With a BOOM, the candyfloss goop-producing device exploded, along with all traces of the toxic substance.
Brenda had no collar to pop, so she flicked her indigo tail smugly instead.
"Congratulations," came a smarmy voice from behind her. Turning, she saw a moth wearing a suit in the distance, and a walrus smoking a pipe just in front of her. "You saved the world."
Brenda narrowed her eyes at the sleazy walrus. She really didn't like this fellow, he had a malevolent aura about him that made her want to shoot him in the face.
So she did just that. Sure, she and this anonymous walrus were supposed to be negotiating for world peace, but she was fairly sure he'd caused the floss commotion, plus he was holding a Dark Matter plushie, which may as well have been a giant signpost telling her that he was on drugs and possibly a nerd. So she decided to rid the world of him before he had the chance to compliment her breathtaking violet fur in a lecherous fashion, and then she strutted back home. The fair was dreadfully boring, really.

Sir James!
1) I'm half convinced that you have magic powers of some description. Which given that I'm very skeptical of such things is saying something!
2) I challenge you to add a cape to that outfit you have planned for the formal! (If you're stuck, Claudia might still have a purple one...)
3) Dark purple, probably partly because of Ursula, though it kind of fits your personality too.
4) I love that no matter what, you can always make me laugh, but that you're a real friend past the laughter as well.
5) First time I remember you was when I was sitting with Rachel Haugh in the central hall, and you came over with Mark and told her there was a rumour going around that she had a picture of the Morbegs on her mobile. Then you cackled and wandered off again...
6) A narwhal, because you like the cold and they're intriguing!
7) What is the randomest thing that's ever happened to you? Because crazy things seem to happen all the time around you =P

8) Repost repost repost!
1) I usually blame you for pretty much any boy-crazy thing I ever say - because let's face it, it probably IS your fault!
2) I challenge you to go without make-up for one day at school - seriously, you don't even need it!
3) Blue. But I can't decide if you're royal blue (status as Head Girl), electric blue (your inherent coolness), or dark blue (your dark side =P) so we'll just go with blue in general!
4) I like how you've become so much more reliable lately - you always seem to figure out the best way of getting stuff done, and I seriously don't know how you manage to organise everything and cope with it all! But you still have time for us, even when we're being infuriating.
5) I don't have any really clear memories of you from ages ago, but I do remember hearing in junior school that you and Lizzie were always competing to be top of 8.2 and you were the Englishy one, lol.
6) Hmm for an animal I'm seeing a white wolf? Because sometimes you're happy in a pack/crowd, sometimes happy as a lone wolf, and you can be dangerous but only when you're angry =D (And I'm sure you can fit Taylor Lautner into the logic somewhere!)
7) If you had to choose just one celebrity man to adore (as well as John, of course), who would it be?

May Jay!
1) Occasionally, I'll just be listening to music, and then I'll think of you... because one of my favourite songs mentions procrastination.
2) Write your own fanfiction - I expect proof!
3) I associate you with blackish red, possibly because of your hair? Oh, and your art, some of it has that colour! And some of your clothes too. I think.
4) I like how you are so easy to talk to! These days we seem to be able to ramble on about any random subject, and all the conversations I've had with you lately are so fun!
5) I remember thinking that you, Orla Corbett and Rebecca Newell all looked the same in primary school... I could never remember which of you was which, but it didn't matter because you weren't in my class! Yay! (I don't think you even did look the same, you just hung around together or something and that confused me oh so dreadfully!)
6) Ha I was tempted to say a sloth, but then I thought you're more like a cat, because you can just tell that my cat's constantly thinking "hmmm I should go hunting or other suchlike constructive activity... no no no, I'll do it later, for now I'll just sit here sleeping/playing my Pokémon game!"
7) Hast thou finished Blood Bound?!
8) You are excused from reposting this, for inobvious reasons!

AFTER EIGHT
Wednesday, 9 February 2011
Blogger has been boring, Emma was bored. Voila, the result of boredom - another honesty blog! Because it's not like they're overused or anything...
1
You are quite possibly the awesomest out of all the people I know - you never fail to make me laugh, and I love how we're on a similar (very strange) wavelength. Recently I've been appreciating you more than ever, I'm so glad you're in my life!
2
I'm starting to realise that the two of us are VERY similar. I think we probably always have been in some ways, but I never really wanted to admit it till now, because before I never appreciated your weirdness, lol.
3
The past month or two I feel like you've been pushing me away - yeah, I get that you had your reasons, but I hate it. I just hope you weren't doing it on purpose.
4
I really wish that we were able to have deep conversations - out of everyone, I seem to be spending the most time with you these days, but somehow we can never quite seem to open up! That doesn't change the fact that I only have to be around you for 2 minutes to feel more cheerful.
5
I never quite know what to think of you! Admiration, jealousy, camaraderie, disbelief, exasperation, pity - all emotions that you provoke from time to time. Admiration seems to be prevalent right now, though.
6
I have no idea how the flip we've been together so often lately! You're a random person to suddenly appear in my life, but I'm glad you're there.
7
You don't deserve the abuse you get, you're hilarious and absolutely awesome! My deepest apologies, and also - WELL DONE. No matter what anyone else says, the world would be a little less bright if you were saner.
8
I love that I can be totally myself with you, and that we can actually have teenage girl-ish type conversations - not to mention all the deep conversations/rants we've had! I sometimes think I'm overvaluing you, but I honestly don't know what I'd do without you.

I challenged May Jay to write about boggarts, and now she has challenged everyone else to write about boggarts! So to bring it all full circle, I shall now blog about my boggart.
Of course, it would be so unique and exciting if my boggart was an army of welly boots flying towards my face. Welly boots with HEELS, at that! And Gary Spence lurking menacingly in the background, flexing his muscles.
Obviously this would be a relevant and plausible boggart for me, but sadly I have to admit that in reality it's more likely to be a horde of giant insects flying/crawling towards me. FAIL.
