While I'm not one hundred percent back to normal, I'm certainly getting there. The medication I've been given seems to have scattered my mind a little bit, making it hard to focus- but there are only a few pills left, and once they're gone, my great and glorious mind shall return...
In the meantime, I just want to let you know that at some stage over the next few days, I'll be posting the REAL cover to Skulduggery 6 here on this Blog, and not Tom's sketch that has been doing the rounds on the interweb. Along with that, you'll also be getting the official title, which may or may not be what you're expecting.
At the moment, Tom is finishing up the cover and it's looking- no surprise here- absolutely amazing. You better have a bucket handy, because when the cover is revealed your heads are going to explode and your brains are going to need something to leak into. Which is, I'll freely admit, somewhat gross.

Getting dressed is a good idea...
I'm perfectly happy to declare devotion to Kallista, but I still want to dance to polka music.
Decisions, decisions....
Polka! *dances*

Hi Shalom! Have we met? I don't think we have. Hi! I already said that.
*falls asleep on keyboard*
hi ann marie!
*floats back in*
Hurrah for vegitarianism!!! 14 years and counting :D
I have to revise for my exams... I should be doing that now... I'll start with biology. :D
Final exams, Shalom?
yup. ultimatum of exams. argh.
I should prepair a presentation on archery...
^^
I'm lucky: My final exam is still a whole year ahead.
I did physics last night whilst I was in bed, only to come to the conclusion that it was insanely easy and physics was completely pointless revision wise. I'm also not doing much with respects to maths and english.
Actually, I think I'll start with Latin. Joy.
you ARE lucky.
Ours is end of year exams. They don't actually matter, they're not board exams... those come next year and the year after. However, they still kinda do.
Yup. physics is a breeze.
This page is dedicated to the existence of the world!! :)

Latin? Good luck. I'm glad I dropped it...^^
14 years out of how many?
I tried to go veggie when I was 13, and my dad force-fed me meatloaf until I gave in. Or maybe that didn't happen. I remember thinking it happened, but I don't remember it actually happening. Anyway. Tried again when I was 17, but that time I told my mom first, and strategically stood on the other side of her from him. Think he's still waiting for me to keel over dead from malnutrition. :-P
Yay world!
*gives cookie to the world*
^^
gotta go revise... got to get 10 A* s
I will be... next year...
But then I'm taking up Ancient Greek. Because I'm odd :)
Erm... luckily I don't have any ambition, so I'm fine with "a bit above average". I don't get why some people want to have nothing but top-grades...
Because if I don't i get disappointed looks. Ivy league all the way.
Tristessa: I don't think you really want to do that...
*shudders, remembering something like ancient greek has 10 cases*
Oh... well, my parents don't care about my grades... not really anyways. They might be concerned if I'd get really bad grades... but usually they only say things like "only 14 of 15 points?", grinning.^^
@Ann: 14 years out of 14. Vegetarianism is part of my religion and most of my family is veggie. That includes extended family :) I know 5th cousins, 3rd uncles etc. who are vegetarian.
:o That's awful! I'm glad you didn't give in though... Veggies are cool! XD
Some of my friends don't agree though. Nearly every day I go end up into a debate about being vegetarian. :( Tis most annoying. Especially because it generally ends up 5 vs 1 (the one being me) :s
Yeah, like once it was 91 not 95%? etc..
Got to go revise some more. Stuff my brain with knowledge. bye!
Same here, Shalom. Last year I got straight A's on my exams. Gotta keep that up :/ Will be difficult, especially because my biology grade is dropping (slowly)...
I've never been great at biology... and yet I'm taking extra science. Joy.
Bye everyone.
hi what are we talking about
Bye Shalom!
Wish you successful revising.^^
School.^^
@Aquila: Oh dear... :/ Well. I'll be fine. My friend said it's not THAT bad. And I can still drop out if I change my mind :D
Bye bye, Shalom!! *hugs*
ok well i am only in yr9 and my grades are usually a's or b's with the occasioanall c
Hi Amelie! *hugs* School... D:
*throws a pumpkin at Aquila*
You can drop out anytime you want to?
*mumbles about unfairness*
*is hit by the pumpkin*
*it's stuck on her head*
*walks around, hitting walls because she's not able to see anything*
y cant u and no i cant cuz my mum wouldnt let me and i would have to wait until end of next yr
*hugs Tessa* Eventually people stop being so obnoxious about it. I don't know if it's cause they grow up, or cause they realize after a while you've already heard anything and are no longer grossed out, and it stops being fun to try.
Probably the last.
amelie is rereading skulduggery pleasant but she has to wait as her friend has her copy of the second book hopefully she wont have to wait long but so far she still has to begin the first
@Aquila: It's complicated. I will start Ancient Greek next year for my GCSE exams. However, since it's an additional subject, it's during lunch times. I've signed up for it, but since there wouldn't be any timetabling issues, I can drop out anytime this school year. Or, I could drop out next year, but only with a written note from my parents :)
No, over here you can't just drop out of a subject whenever you want to... usually not even after a year. If you choose something you'll have to do it till you get a chance to drop it...
what are you taing about ann
Ann as you are older and wise will you read my story and give me any hints or suggestions to make it better thank you
*hugs Ann back* That's probably it :) However, I've come up with a good selection rebuttals :) Do you want to hear some? :)
@Amelie: Being vegitarian.
@Aquila: But we haven't started it yet. It's not like that for any other subjects... Just ancient greek, because it's an additional.
Wow, I'm really behind. What are we talking about? School? School sucks. But education is good! Yes. Get educated.
I wanted to harass Derek... no, I mean... uh. Ask Mr. Landy thoughtful, pertinent, and provocative questions, long as he's answering. But I'm kind of tired and having trouble making... those things, you know. Words!
So I'm going to feed everybody and go to bed. Night, all.
Hi, sorry I'm on the computer so I will be slow at replying.
ok Ann and tristessa could you both please read my story i will leave the link below
http://alongstoryamelie.blogspot.com/
dragona could you read my blog
Aww... bye Ann!! *hugs*
Hi Dragona!! *hugs*
Ok Amelie... Up, up and away!!!!! *flies off to Amelie's blog*
No prob Dragona.
Night Ann!
Amelie, not right now. If I do something else then the comp will freeze.
aquila have you read my blog
thats ok maybe later then
Tristessa: sure! but I won't read until tomorrow. My time, tonight yours.
Amelie, the word you are looking for is not "wise". It's... it's... I dunno. Anyone have a thesaurus I could use? As a pillow?
I will read, again, when I'm more awake, ok?
*hugs everyone* bye!
I don't think so, Amelie.
Have you read mine?
My bloody PS3 isn't working now. Why can't the stupid people who invent these things invent something that works ALL the bloody time. Stupid PlaystationNetwork... why the hell won't it let me sign in?
i dont think so i will read yours if you read mine
*sighs*
Dragona, the higher developed something is, the easier it brakes. A dice will never fail you... but it'snot even close to a PS, right?^^
Even a bit of dust is enough to destroy high tech...
Okay. :)
But you should be aware that I already wrote quite a lot...
what is the httml of your blog aquila mine is a little further up the page
ok i will book mark it and finish it another dya if i dont
Ok.
*opens another tab and starts reading*
Ok then Ann!
Tristessa's Fail-Proof Vegitarian Rebuttals.
Q: What do you actually eat then?
A: Food. Why? Don't you?
Q: *insert long and complicated but really stupid question here*
A: You know you're eating corpses.
Q: Being a vegitarian is stupid.
A: Go tell that to Orlando Bloom and Paul McCartney.
Q: Have you ever eaten meat?
A: No. That's like asking a non-cannibal whether they've eaten human flesh.
Q: It's easier to be a vegetarian when you've never tasted meat.
A: How do you know?
Oh- and I plan to start doing this too :) http://community.sparknotes.com/2011/04/05/how-to-be-an-awesome-vegetarian
Because your being mean to it :P Try offering it some tofu :) Maybe it'll let you sign in :D
Hello?
Yes?
By the way: You're a vegetarian but no vegan, right? Because being vegan IS actually stupid.
Yeah, Aquila :) I'm a vegitarian. I don't really get being vegan, but I don't question it.
I don't eat eggs, however. But I'm a bit more lax with that.
Good... because being vegan would only work if you'd have a body different from any other human body.^^
I hate pills, last time I had to take them I literally started walking into walls, my ballace went out the kitchen window.
Explode my head...? Good luck with that.
Tristessa... did you already read part D of my fanfic?
so did you like itn
To be honest, being a vegan just sounds really awkward. I mean, I understand that it's bad to exploit animals for milk and stuff... but it's hard enough finding vegitarian food... but VEGAN FOOD?!?! I seriously admire them.
I did. :)
Only had some propblems with those really long sentences of yours...
i am sorry aquila thatmy puctuation is not as good as yours but i still need help making it better in description any help
I can't remember, Aquila. I'll go have a look.
Yeah, Amelie :) It was really good! :D
*makes really childish grumpy face at aquila* then help me
I don't admire them, I think they're stupid. You know, I understand the reasons to be vegetarian or vegan... but behaving like that only calmes your own conscinece but doesn't help those animals (buying bio-food is more effective... ^^). And vegans might try to ignore that humans have to eat things from animals, if not flesh then milk, eggs, butter etc., but their bodies won't.
By the way... how do vegans feel about the time they were babies and drank the milk of their mothers?^^
I'd love to help you, Amelie. Just can't promise I'm always right: I'm no native speaker. :)
You make a good point Aquila. There are a lot of faults within their hypothesis.
If you want my constructive criticism, Amelie...
I think adding commas and more punctuation would make it easier to read.
Description. I can't actually do description very well, but I put a ton into my latest story and it turned out all right :D Just talk about the surroundings a lot. How they look, how they make your character feel. What you can hear and also what they can smell (though be careful not to go overboard with the smelling).
Yellow?
Red.
^^
Turqoise.
purple
Green.
and vegetarians what happes if they are pregnant and they crave meat they have to eat it cuz when u are pregnant what u crave is what u and the baby need
orange
Ah, you can always eat eggs instead of meet. Doesn't make that much of a difference, I guess.
aquila ca you tell me what hallo wie geht es dir
Ich liebe dich als Freund Sie sind genial
means
TARTAN!!!
...wait wats with all the colours?
who here believes in valduggery
Hi, how are you? (=Hallo, wie geht es dir?)
I love you as a friend. (=Ich liebe dich als Freund.)
And: You're genious! (=Sie sind genial!)
Urm... amelie. Why on earth would you crave something you'd never eaten. Or couldn't stand any more. That would be silly. Sorry :) Plus, my mum's vegitarian and when she was pregnant with me she craved guavas. Except it wasn't guava season, so she couldn't have guavas. And I survived. :)
the last bit was you are awesome
Hi Rachel!
@Amelie
I don't.
Hi Rachel!
Oh, and... CHARTRUSE!
does any one else
i dont cuz that is just like necrophillia
Amelie, not particularly.
chartruse...isnt that like yellow-green...
and Heey!
but i dont like fletcher do u believe in ghanith
hello
Awesome would be großartig/toll/fantastisch...
but not really genius (btw: got the wrong word there. What I meant was brilliant. ^^)
I think so... rachel :)
Yeah, Amelie :)
that is what google translte said
*yawns*
Sorry I was staring into space.
Ich habe drei hunde
i can speek VERY little German...
-.-
You shouldn't rely on google translate. I have no idea what it's like for other languages, but what it translates as German is surely, no offense, more than 50% crap.
Was that fun, Dragona?
Surely more fun than Latin revision anyhow :)
MIDDLE COMMENT!
Dragona, you seem to do this a lot...
Are you in love? ^^
That's true for most languages, Aquila :) I use it more as a dictionary for single words. It works well enough for that. :D
does anyone know any gaelic?
*makes a really frustrated screechy cat noise*
I'm not sure how else to describe it...
No, I don't know gaelic. But I know Swabian.^^
A yowl?
miaow?
beannacht
Hi Octa!
*cocks head*
Was that an unoiled garden gate I just heard?^^
Aquila, I don't think so. But yes, I do do it a lot.
Hi Octa!
isnt that a form of german ? kinda...
Nope... no gaelic... I speak english, hindi and a bit of french and german :D
Hello Octa!! *glomps*
I forgot to glomp everyone else! *glomps everyone in turn*
Nope that was me....
(revision)
*sobs*
I hate you revision!!!
I'm going to go have some dinner. I'll be back soon.
Yup, Swabian is a form of German, a dialect. But it's got it's own vocabulary, grammar and pronounciation.^^
amelie, that was goodbye wasn't it? i know scottish gaelic, not the irish one. but i know that word :)
Tristessa! Aquila! Dragona! Rachel! Amelie!
*glomps*

Ok Dragona!
I think it's hello and goodbye... If I remember correctly from my short trip to italy.
ciao
blogger come è di tutti
* bacia tutti sul controllo *
Ti Amo tutti voi
What did I learn today?
Carbohydrates are made up of oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. make up 5% of human body mass. Starch is a long chain of sugar molecules. Insoluble. Glycogen is the form carbohydrate is stored in.
Proteins made of amino acids. Carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. 18% of body mass. Needed for growth and repair.
Lipids contain carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. made up of 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids. 10% of human body mass. Acts as insulation around organs and protects them from damage.
one day i want to go to europe and ireland cuz i love irish accents
Latin is an interesting language... though there are a lot of grammar tables to learn. That's two thirds of the basic noun table. You could actually triple that amount, but we only have to learn the basics. Now... final group :D
y r u rambling on about science i hate that subject
i want to learn ancient greek
Oh dear. I have chemistry to come as well :o Luckily, not that much... Phew! :D
i still havent finished my english assignment
Amelie, I will be next year. Apparantly it's very hard. Oh well.
