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...!

«Oldest ‹Older 1801 – 2000 of 3976 Newer› Newest»he'd win.... especially if you were playing GoldenEye
Um..... is Thrice still on? Because I can't talk to him if he's not here..... obviously.
Lol Sarthacus... that was the one on your blog!
Yeah, it was!
Now to TTOTC!!!
I am not big headed on GoldenEye or here... or in real life... only because on GoldenEye my Sigmus 9 is trustworthy... but when it comes on here it shoots me when I try to hug it...
Is Thrice still on?
Not that I know of Darkane...
Still I might be getting saxophone lessons! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Darkane...
sup ppl?
HI FLO!

You'll love this...!
I won the boys cross country the other day... I beat all the serious runners by half a lap...
hey, Flo,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6vC8yeJ4QI&feature=related
Oh and I've been drunk a few times to celebrate my win... been on GoldenEye today, had a day off school because of the snow and got my level 7 for a Sigmus 9...
Where you running in a park or on a mountain?
Around the school playing field... the teacher said we ran 2 miles because we did something like 4 laps of it... it has hills and slopes but most of it is flat, but it was grassy and muddy at the time...
My school is closed :D
lol sarthacus i was just listening to nightwish just now :)
LOL, Kallista xD
Hi Kallista...
*puppy runs towards her*
My Mary-Ellen...
Lucky, I had to run up hill in pouring rain. Evil PE teacher for making me compete. I came 8th out of 180 though, which I think is good considering I'm not a cross country runner and it was to get to the all irelands.
I'm not a cross country runner... I RARELY run anyway... I came 1st out of 375 people...
Hey Kallista, it's great news. I think my dad gave on because I've been bugging him for about a year.
She was a good kitty Kallista... didn't meow once during the time you were gone...
I'm going to practice drums now. Be back in an hour or two.
For all who haven't done so,
http://tendrilsoffate.blogspot.com/2010/11/trap-of-crow-exclusive-sneak-peak.html
My school is open...
It opened today
But I'm glad it wasn't closed
Thanks for pointing out the typo Kallista... I think it might be my keyboard... I have a flexible thin one which takes you ages to register the keys... I think it might be broken...
I once lost 5 pounds...
Then I looked in a purse I thought had nothing in it...
And found 20 :)
i'm back
been revising for my mocks
because i have a scary mother
so i didn't get to say goodbye last
time
sartacus a bet landy won't reply because you annoyed him so much
brb
supper
I was the richest person in my geography lesson... but that's no supprise for ME... we were doing about rich and poor people, and he told us to get the money we had out... I had £12 and I beat the guy in 2nd by £11.10
And he said "if you look down the street, how can you tell if someone is rich?" and my friend went, "Look for Tom" and I was like... crap...
Pretty much Kallista...

You should take your medication Kallista...
Do you people say Holland or Netherlands?
"Someone choking caught Dragona's attention and he brushed past Skyril to see behind them. He would have brushed passed Florence, but she wasn't there, she was holding her throat, trying to force her attacker's hands from her neck, and he would have brushed passed Sarthacus also, but he wasn't their either, he had Florence in a tight headlock, with a pistol pointed at the side of her head."
Another sneak peak of my fanfic...
I am Tom :D
ooOOOoooOOOooo sounds good Dragona!
Back. It's evil that I can only practice drums till 8. Humph.
My Story:

Nice name Sarthacus...
You get one of them things Kallista... one of them you get denied... the other isn't going to happen...
New pic...
Assassins Creed Sarthacus?
Uh... No. I don' have it, But I REALLY WNT BOTHERHOOD!
I'm not allowed it.
@Kallista
CHange your name to Kallista Pendragon - The Hit Girl
I think of a number, times it by three and add seven, the answer is 66, what is the number?
3x+7=66
-7
3x=59
/3
x= 19.6666666666666666666'
The number was 19.66666666666666'
Are the giant rocks that float around on space in a belt called astroids? It begins with A right?
Asteroids... yes Darkane...
^
A bit of Algebra :P
If y=2x + 5 find the function of f(4)
y=2x + 5
2 x 4 + 5= 14
Some people... wanting Assassin's Creed... it is a good game but I'm happy with GoldenEye...
back for a little bit, i want to do some typing later
i'm back again
I want Black Ops and Assassins Creed. Won't get them for christmas though because my dad already €500 for my drum kit. So I have to get socks.
hopefully for longer
yay algebra
Are Me, Flo and Dragona the only people who haven't changed our names and pictures?
GoldenEye... is awesome... I went on a killing spree with a Stauger something or other with a laser sight... I got a 15 kill streak with it as it is a very good close range weapon... for long range or medium... the Parlov or the Sigmus 9 is for me :D
Flo has changed her pic a few times
And now you shall all stare at me because I shall say I like maths, one of my favorite subjects.
I have no plans on changing my name or picture...
i like math because i'm good at it :D
*looks at Darkane with eyes wide*
You what? You actually LIKE maths?
solve the simultaneous equation
x2 + y2 = 10
y = 2x -5
Or the Assult Rifle which can fire grenades... that's cool as well...
i promise not to diasappear for at least 5 minutes
I've kept Death the Kid as my pic since I got it. Death the Kid is awesome. He has a skateboard, that FLIES!! And he shoots his guns upside down, with his little fingers.
o.O
you must remember to take your medicine lol
I'm off to do some typing, i'm starting up on fanfic again :D
You can now all call Yorkshire, Yorkartica brr...
its really weird i think i'm the oldest here.
Normally everyone else is older. I can't cope with the responsibility!!! :)
Oh holy hell, what a lot of comments. I doubt you'll even get to mine, but if you ever do, hey.
In case you haven't already noticed/worked it out, this is Bebo Kate. I'm expanding my horizons, you see, and becoming BeboBlogspot Kate. It's quite exciting, you know.
Anyway, many congratulations on the awards! Not that there was ever a doubt you'd win them. Skulduggery is, after all, the greatest book ever written.
You do indeed have a cool house.
And as for the hoodies and kittens? Well, I WANT one of those, right now. Either the hoodie or the kittens, I'm not fussed.
Is that x squared and y squared?
when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth
Hmm...
I want those kittens and that awesome hoodie and top and the best book of the decade award and that other award!
I like all those figurines on your mantlepiece. I now have another obsession...... I always liked this....... Lord of the Rings. I am on The Return of The King and it is good. I am kinda annoyed that they didn't put the bit where Merry is injured after he stabbed the nasgul guy.
It is snowing again here! Yay!
*hugs Sigmus 9*
*it fires into Dragona's jaw*
*Dragona dies*
*ghost flies around the room*
Not again... I was ABOUT to say thanks for giving me a 15 kill streak... but no... you be like that!
as a wise man once said All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.
look at me getting al philosophical
it doesn't suit me does it
*cries in corner, didn't want to die, has no much crap to live for*
don't cry
Internet going wonk!!
what kallista said *nods wisely and starts whistling*
Hmm... Kallista... you remind me of Shelby Trinity from H.I.V.E... don't ask me why... you just DO... thanks for making me alive again...
Maybe it's because your american, you like to tease and you call every tall person 'big guy'... I can see the similarities...
go H.I.V.E!!
Brrrrr note to self NEVER go outside again. In your life .
I nearly got froze permenantly onto the swing
Cough, I haven't read H.I.V.E
Hey Nicolette.
*chases around the blog*
*sneaks up on nicolette*
*YOU'RE IT*
pendragon also is a great series
x = 1
y = -3
I don't think my Sigmus 9 likes me now... I tried to hug it and it shot me! HOW COULD IT!
*sobs*
correct!!!
Hello *waves* ...
.... Hmm *shoves copy of H.I.V.E in Darkanes face* reeeeeeeeead! now.
*sits down with her copy of Ghost town from morganvill* I have it .. its mine!!!!! ..
Congrats on the award!I read about it in the paper and started dancing around.XD
Hey I know this is really random but I just want to double check.I got my little cousin hooked on Skulduggery Pleasant and was going to get him Mortal Coil cause it hasn't come out in America yet but I don't think Dark Days has come out either.:/ Anyone know if it has or hasn't?
-Waffles
I'm IT? .... this explains so much ...
my beard for instance :L
I'm a good advertisement... first H.I.V.E and now GoldenEye... I should be a salesman when I'm older... but like I would want to do THAT...
well i only changed it 10 minutes ago so i forgive you
Waffles ...... do you like waffles ?
If you do I say damn it
if you don't I say Irony .... see english teachs you some stuff .............
that reminds me do any of you find writing pages for evaluation of just 2 of shakespears quotes nessesary ...?
Well I'll hang out with my Stauger now... since my Sigmus 9 doesn't like me :(
i love waffles
no not necassary
I LOVE Waffles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I got the nickname a few years back though before anyone knew of my obsession of waffles.XD
"O Lord beware of jealousy.
It is the green ey'd monstor which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.
I can do Shakespeare me!

Rat in my kitchen and Mr. Bojangles don't go well together.
Othello Act III Scene III lines 165-167
Oh ... all i can remember is something about paramour and ' oh I am fortunes fool'
I recon I can beat the goldfish for shortest memory span ...
i'm so bored
look at me reduced to quoting shakespeare
To be, or not to be... that is the question :P
Sonnet 130
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
Bite me alien bwoy!
lol tate
Romeo and Juliet Act ...3 scene 1 ?? ehh I got nothing ..... I only Like shakespear because he was born in the same year as me
and thats all the shakespeare i know i promise
In sooth I know not why I am so sad. It wearies me I say it wearies you.
The merchant of venice act 1 scene 1
* month :S ..
A Stauger is a submachine gun, on GoldenEye it has a laser sight and is very deadly close range, it is pronounced Stor-ja.
I'm not that old ........ yet my beard begs to differ but I swear i wasn't born the same year as shakespear only the same month
your over 400 years old?
oh wait april
lol i learnt it for my english gcse
Oooooh Kallista have you yet to learn your lesson .........
This may hurt a smidge *rips Kallistas hand free from gel andgets her hand stuck in return* HEY!!! YOU KNOW I NEED TO GO TO VAMPIRE DIARIES IN 5 MINS
and because catherine tate knows it and i am superior :)
The price of mercy is not strained
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Unto the place beneath, it is blessed.
It blesseth he who gives and he who takes.
Merchant of venice.
It was April ... :| *whispers to octaboona* I thought It was July
Guys... I g2g now but I'll probably be on tomorrow most of the day... the snow is pretty bad so it might be another snowday, but don't get your hopes up (like you would do that about me anyway) as I might be going to school... so don't leave me to be a loner again!
Night all...
*hugs Flo*
Night...
@ kallista
please stop randomly abusing yourself
@ nicolette 23rd april to be precise
bye dragona
All that glitters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been inscroll'd:
Fare you well; your suit is cold.
Merchant of Venice
"I pray thee, where dids't thy robes become?
From no merchant be,
'Tis not of thy nature,
For thyn father quoth it not."
well it is funny
but it also makes me cry inside
It's not glitters it's glisters. I'm doing it for the junior cert and my teacher kills us if we say glitters.
and now for some LoTR
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken:
The crownless again shall be king.
Hmmmm did he die in July ?
wait I thought he died on his birthday and I'm told he was born in April ... but Julys in there somewhere ..... *mind implodes*
I give up with shakespear ......
AHHH!!!! *bows* The Time Is 9pm! I must bid you all a due till 10pm!!! .... when I will return for 5 mins to say goodbye again :D
Would you like to see more of Trap of the Crow??!!
How like a fauning publican he looks
I hate him for he is a christian
But more for that in low simplicity
He lends out money gratis and brings down the rate of usance here with us in venice
If I can catch him once upon the hip
I'll fed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.
"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
Leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
Dawn turns to day,
Nothing gold can stay"
...I don't know how rightly I quoted that...
oops sorry
My blog.
"I pray thee, where dids't thy robes become?
From no merchant be,
'Tis not of thy nature,
For thyn father quoth it so."
Where's this from kiddies?! And yes hello...(I feel largely ignored)
Oh finally I've been greeted!
I love the kittens :O
Mary, come to my blog!
No thanks...

Ah...I think I saw that actually...
Internet gn wnku
Or not. I'm not bothered.
I think I'm at school tomorrow...
DAMN THE SCHOOLZ!
@ kallista
i'm not annoyed at you!
i don't really mind your random abuse
it's sort of like me a few years ago. Makes me remember and then i cry inside because remembering does that to me.
I missed Derek
My brother disconnected our router so I lost internet access.
I had school on Monday an today. I'm probably going to have it tomorrow but the snow is meant to get really bad on Wednesday night so I mightn't have it on Thursday
*approaches with army of oompa loompas*

*Small kitten walks in*
"Oh. A kitten named..."
You know me too well Kallista.
*sneakily approaches kallista*
Guys, just so you know,,, Trap Of the Crow's going to have a hell of a lot of cuteness in it... Cookie, mainly... and some grim gore, and tensity...
Charge my Oompa Loompas!!!
lol Stephan told Damon to shut up but the way he said it made me lol ...
now my mum thinks I'm a freak ....
turns out Katherine is not all that bad ...
*Uses air to push the Oompa Loompas over cliff and the fall broken on the jagged rocks beneath*
