PICTURES!

And we have a winner...!

On Thursday night, I accepted the award for Best Children's Book of the Year (Senior) for Mortal Coil, to rapturous applause from everyone who loves me. Yes, fine, that means I was applauding myself as I made my way to the stage, but it still counts, dammit...

Here is the beautiful award on my mantlepiece...


I also picked up a SECOND award, for I am THAT brilliant- this time it was for the Book of the Decade thing I won a few months back. Here are BOTH awards on my mantlepiece...


Yes. I have a cool house.

Thanks to everyone who voted- it's because of you, my Minions, that the Skulduggery books do so well at things like this. And I just LOVE getting up on stage and making fun of everyone. Makes me so happy...

And, now that I've remembered how to post photos, I'll add a few random ones...

These are home-made jackets worn by two girls who came to signings a few months ago, one in the UK and one in Germany... Sweeeeet.


And here are two pictures of kittens I used to have, before I found good homes for them...!

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

Dragona Pine said...

Dragona Pine said...

*chuckles*


Not tall enough...

Star Lord said...

I had no school today!


... My maths teacher came to the house just as I came and said "LETS HOPE FOR ANOTHER DAY OFF!"


And for once, I agree with her.

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

ii think i'm less than 5 foot

Lunar Tears said...

Did you know, the first time I had a conversation with Dragona he punched me? Then stabbed me? Does he not KNOW how to treat a lady?

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

i ma tiny, 4th smallest in my class

Dragona Pine said...

I DO know how to treat a lady... I treat every un-annoying lady nice :P well... you WERE annoying at the start...

Geckogirl said...

i went to york in year 6 with the school :| it was terrible. we went to the york dungeons and had to get out after five mintutes as most of the children were screaming their heads off and sobbing. i didnt, but i kept saying "miss...i think we should go back now! Alice won't move any further and she won't let go of my leg!"

it. was. terrible.

and they gave us horrible food. i had to sneak packets of suger to my room to survive and me and my friend went hyper!

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

its hard not to hurt a lady who is hurting you

Dragona Pine said...

I had a weird dream last night as well... I was on top of a mountain somewhere...

Geckogirl said...

tell us ur dream kallista!

Star Lord said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxylRCwBD5k&feature=related



Who likes it?

Dragona Pine said...

It's easy not to hurt a lady who is hurting you...

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

20 to 5

Jasmine Lovelace said...

you survived on sugar....gosh u must have been really desperate

Lunar Tears said...

Oh dear...

How OLD are you, Thrice?



The other day, this OBNOXIOUS boy pushed my friend out of the way, and this other boy said to him:

"How rude! Do you not know how to treat a lady?"

So then I started thinking how ladies should be treated...

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

if a lady is really fond of pinching and you sit beside her you have to defend yourself

a girl called odile, she used to be on this blog

Dragona Pine said...

You haven't had your head torn off Kallista... and yes you did deserve it :P

Geckogirl said...

i was desperate jasmine! it was horrible. but also hillarious. a teacher knocked on our door when we were hyper and asked about the noise. we sed it was the room upstairs :D

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

i think she was anyway

Star Lord said...

GUys, I may not have told you, but I have started another book.


*Everybody keeps talking*


Guys? Don't ignore me!

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

brr...

Lunar Tears said...

lol Geckogirl

Jasmine Lovelace said...

hahaha must have been really fun ;)

Dragona Pine said...

Sarthacus... good luck with the book :P

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

i started a book a while back, i'm still on it

Jasmine Lovelace said...

not the head rolling....the sugar devouring...

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

http://thrice-dozer-bored.blogspot.com
if you wanna read two chapters of it

Lunar Tears said...

I NEVER ignore people

OK

sometimes
