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...!

Knight your not helping...

how do u feel nostalgic?
Crud, BRB..
*grumbles at Lunar*
Orius....
Spill
You don;t have to tell us Orius.
When you wish to go back to a certain period of time Knight... that's what wikipedia says...
*looks innocent*
What was that, Dragona?
u cant ask orius 2 tell u guys!
like gordon said:it's rude 4 1 thing, deeply unsetlin 4 another!
Brb for a min...
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
she is realy cool and alot of people like her , but she dosen't realy open up . she likes catch i play it 2 but my biggest fear is if she says no . so what should i do
FINE!
ooo, so nostalgic isnt a bad feelin like sad and guilt like that, huh dragona?
its like reminiscing
Don't ask me for help, I've never had a boyfriend and I've never asked anyone out. Sorry I can't help.
so what should i do
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby baby
I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
Show me, how you want it to be
Tell me baby
'Cause I need to know now what we've got
[CHORUS:]
My loneliness is killing me
I must confess, I still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
Oh baby, baby
The reason I breathe is you
Boy you got me blinded
Oh baby, baby
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
That's not the way I planned it
Show me, how you want it to be
Tell me baby
'Cause I need to know now what we've got
[Repeat CHORUS]
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
Ah, yeah, yeah
Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
Oh pretty baby
I shouldn't have let you go
I must confess, that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
[Repeat CHORUS]
I must confess that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
You KNOW what it was Lunar...
nice advice, octa
well, orius...
i know what 2 tell u but may i ask, is she cheerful?
and what do u mean when u say a lot of people like her? is it like LIKE or just, friendly like?
I can't help either Darkane... for exactly the same reason...
nostalgia means pleasant remembrances
Except in you case you've never had a girlfriend not a boyfriend, Dragona.
What do you mean like LIKE or friendly like? Too many likes in a sentence :S
hey did u guys know that BATU means rock at my country(aka,language)...
i just dont know
Yes Darkane... I meant that...
dragona, u know exactly what i means...
Actually I MIGHT be able to help... some girls have asked me out... but I said no because they were orange...
I don't know Knight... if I did then I wouldn't be asking, would I?
Hehehe, tangerines.
ye she is cheerfull
like like
well, since u say u dont know, it's better 4 u 2 find out 1st who she really is...
and i mean by, does she hv a lot of admires or, is she cheerful, somethin like that...
lol tangerines
Yup... tangerines...
So, your situation is you like a girl that loads of other people like and your afraid that she'll say no to you if you ask her out?
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But i would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry i'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No there's nothing that i wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy make your dreams come true
Nothing that i wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love
dragona, when i say like LIKE i mean in love.
and when i say like friendly, i mean people like 2 b around her cause she's friendly
dragona im ginger
He doesn't mean ginger, he means the girls wore so much fake tan that they turned orange.
Lol Orius... what's the worst that COULD happen? She would say no, life would just carry on as normal and if she's nice then she wouldn't tell any of her friends, you would be the only two people who knew and it would probably never be spoken of again...
i have loads of girls like that at my school
gingers are cool!
alright orius,
i want u 2 ask her out just simply.
ur a nice boy, and that is hard 2 fine.
so i want u 2 try ur best,and b urself!
dont worry 2 much, u'll b fine...
and if she said no...
then mayb she's just not the 1 for u....
knight she is realy cheerful , loads of amirers and she is sound
There's tangerines in my school who ACTUALLY dye their hair ginger...
There's a girls language and code, Dragona
And there's LIKE like's and just like's
Here's a question someone asks:
Do you like, LIKE like him or just like him?
thanks octa
dragona, ur not encouragin orius correctly...
And if someone asked me that then my mind would explode Lunar :S
thnx lunar 4 xplainin 2 dragona
I'm encouraging him my own way... as I said it's not my strong point asking someone out... I've never done it... and have no plans to just yet...
what is better 4 a first date disco r go out with a group
Disco... but that's coming from me so I don't know... don't listen to me...
I'm going to stay out of this conversation because I'll just give crap advice.
oh,and better b careful...
if she does hv a lot of admirers,orius...
not tryin 2 scare u
Here's how I see things like this:
If he's nice and likes me, then he'll say yes, and life will go on
If he's nice but doesn't like me, then he'll say no, respect my feelings, and life will go on
If he's not nice, says no, and makes sure I have a hard time because of it, then I don't want to go out with a JERK like him, anyway, and life will go on
:)
*turns into Dragon, flies off with nothing to add in the conversation*
:¬( ITS SO Complacated
no u wont darkane
and orius, dont listen 2 dragona...
actually, dont go disco, that's all i'm sayin
If I was going on a date I'de go to a disco..... if I liked the music they play which I don't because U like jazz, rock, punk, heavy rock and classical. But apart from that Disco, definitely.
I not U
My solution is a disco... but DO try not to lose your courage... I did it... I was going o ask Stephanie out... nbut she's always crowded...
It's either Stephanie or Louie...
Aaaargh, I CAN'T CHOOSE!
it's not orius, u'd b surprised...
Yes... completely ignore me... I'm not here... I'll hug my Sigmus9 again and get shot in the mouth, then I WON'T be here...
My view on rejection:
You need to reward yourself for the effort and focus on the fact that you tried rather than the actual results
Um... not disco... but not group either... somewhere you can easily chat
I'll be listening to Na Na Na so ignore me until this conversation is over. I'll mess it up.
What is your solution to aking someone out?
bolt, r u 2 timin?.....
hey guys :D
anyone heard the gillian mckeith song?
t'is most hilarious! i'll put the link below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqGGrO5hjy8

dragona, dont kill urself i dont mean that!
hi skylara
she is so hard to know
i think i am doing well cas she all ways says random stuff about when we hung out
is that good r bad
My solution of asking someone out: Don't bother...
*shrinks back into corner*
Not here... it wasn't me!
But that's just MY view...
Hey Skylara.

helps me to destress

GECKOGIRL!
I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT DAMON DID YESTERDAY!
HE'S SUPPOSED TO LOVE ELENA NOT SOME VAMP HE MET 2 DAYS AGO!!!!!
I would take that as good Orius...
Yo knight! watzup?
The best way to a man's heart is to saw through his breast bone.
That's all i know about love :)
I'm not talking about asking anyone out... I'm giving crappy advice which I'm not here... I'm not here... I'm a ghost OOOOOOOOOOOOOH
