I do have a rule that I only respond to comments within the comments section itself, but just this once I'm going to make an exception before I go to bed.
First of all- Ann Marie, I hate losing pets, no matter what sort of pet it is. A pet is a pet, and for those of us who love animals, we all know what it's like to lose one. You poor thing.
Second of all- Lenka, get back here, young lady. Do not let some unimaginative teacher tell you that writing is a waste of time. I spent my entire life dreaming about things and people that don't actually exist- and now that I'm a writer, I do the same thing but I'm paid for it. And one of the nicest things about being a professional writer is that, occasionally, I get to inspire someone else to write. Lenka- you've got talent. Don't let it fade away.
As for the rest of you, why don't you fill the LAST comment section before you fill this one? That gives you ten thousand comments to make.
(oh dear God...)
YAY, THANK YOU DEREK!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDelete*cries*
And thank you, again.
love,
me
*hugs Derek* thanks so much Derek!!! I'm sure this will cheer Ann Marie up and if Lenka see this then she better LISTEN TO THE GOLDEN GOD LENKA!!! Get your butt back on here, we miss you!
ReplyDeleteNo comment for me?
ReplyDeleteAnn! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you addressed everything so quickly though!! Not trying to be selfish.
ReplyDeleteLenka: Write on!
Anya, you just made me laugh! I envisioned you asking that with big, puppy-dog eyes...!
ReplyDeleteAnn: My dog ran away a while back. I felt so guilty and sad. But it get's better. Animals go to heaven, too!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I realize my last comment was a bit vague. So, now I say this:
ReplyDeleteDerek. Thank you for posting to Ann. She is a dear friend, and she and her goat did not deserve this.
And, thank you for posting to Lenka. It means so much, to all of us. Thank you. That's all I can say, really. Thank you.
And now, I finally go to bed.
Ahhhhh! You answered!
ReplyDeleteIt's like touching the screen and having it talk to you.
ReplyDeleteWill you read my story....... please. Puppy dog eyes.
ReplyDeleteOh and you are a HUGE inspiration to me. Just wanted you to know. Oh and what's your favorite color? Sorry for all the comments. I'm just thrilled to here from one of my favorite authors.
ReplyDelete~glomps Master Derek~

Rereading Skulduggery Pleasant for the third time... because I love it just that much! <3 I'd enjoy it more if the left side of my mouth wasn't numbed by novocaine :P DON'T GET CAVITIES.
ReplyDeleteI just read the post about how you only read fanfic on Christmas. You really will read mine? Oh that would be the best gift EVER! I better get to editing!
ReplyDelete*dances*

Best of dreams, Mr. Landy.
ReplyDeleteyea we're pretty good at breaking the internet :3
ReplyDeleteDEREK!!111 just wanted to say I GOT MY BLACK BELT!!!! just had to tell you :D
ReplyDeleteIMTHE 26th comment! YES!
ReplyDeleteDerek, a new blog post from you brightens my otherwise boring day :D
ReplyDeleteAlso, it was you who inspired me to start writing... So thanks :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't think you actually responded to comments! wow, that is so cool, that makes you even more awesome (No, wait, that's not possible.. Oh no, it'll probably go to his head...) I know its not your fault as the writer, not the publisher, but might you have an answer? Do you know why Dark Days and Mortal Coil are not published in the US?
ReplyDeletePlease Answer My Question!!! Are You Coming To America Or More So Washington? :)
ReplyDeleteDerek Landy... will you answer my questions? What do you do in your spare time? (I mean other than being awesome and famous.) Also, what is your favourite country?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah... I LOVE YOU GENIUS MASTER DEREK OF GOLDEN GODYNESS... I think that would be an awesome title for you. (pronounced GOD-EE-NESS) I swear that if I had never read Skulduggery Pleasant MY LIFE WOULD BE A HELLOFALOT SADDER THAN IT IS. I'm deadly serious.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting things... I was alone at home today cause I'm sick. I spent my day reading Skulduggery Pleasant 3,4,5 and when I saw that you'd posted again my day stopped being lonely.
ReplyDeleteDerek, i want to say something incredibly important and inspirational. something that you will remember and quote me for the rest of your life. you'll say to yourself, "God. That thing that that young, charming, and EXTREMELY good looking boy with the sexy fedora said was so inspirational and worth reading. I think i'll tell EVERYONE that." Well, here it goes:
ReplyDelete....Derek....
....... I forgot what i was going to say
Woo hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU MR. LANDY! You are truly amazing and an inspiration to us all :D
ReplyDeleteI hope you're good :)
P.S. PLEASE PLEASE, PLEEEEEEEEEEASE COME TO AUSTRALIA!!
This is weird. Which one are we using? This one or the last one? DEREK WHY DO YOU KEEP POSTING TWICE, IT CONFUSES ME! :P
ReplyDeleteRight, go on the last one guys. Because this is seriously confusing.
ReplyDeleteHi Derek. Glad to see you're still alive.
ReplyDeleteHello Derek,
ReplyDeletewow,
first time on this blog.
*Fades away* I feel shy suddenly....
Well, anyway....WOW i actually have a chance to amazing and brilliant you!
ReplyDeleteAnd really.... all I can say is...hi?
Maybe I should wait for a reply first.
Hmmm...
*bangs head on keyboard* funny feeling really.
Oh oh! have you heard of Marc Mcbride because he is Irish and he is an amazing fantasy illustrator. And I met him.... he was so darn awesome. Yay! And I got good luck from him (because I love to write and draw)
What else should I say?
*humming*
Well yeah.
I love your boos by the way and all of my friends do too!
You are ridiculously brilliant!
:)
Dhinile (Danielle)
I said boos.......I meant books. What else did i spell wrong in my excitement? Oh no. Maybe I should not be here after all, I will just get more embarrassed in front of my favourite author.
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much, Derek, for posting this. The other Bloggers and I have been trying for a long time, and I'm glad you noticed. I set up the spam comment, btw, so before you blame someone else... ;)
ReplyDeleteShe is really going to enjoy this, i think/hope.
Hey, it's, um...it's my birthday soon. July 9th. And I'm posting this in the good faith that you'll *hopefully* remember. Please? :D I'll be fifteen.
Also, i remember a while ago you mentioned that you play Red Dead Redemption. Along the lines of games, are you looking forward to the array that are coming out this year? Particularly Portal 2 (I almost have enough money for it...), Oblivion: Skyrim, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3? (I know that the last game might be a bit of a stretch...I don't actually know anyone that plays Red Dead as well as CoD)
Please reply xD And thankyou, once again!
yeah-ee!!
ReplyDeletethough i dont know what about... *desides*
EVERYTHING!!
...except Ebglish...127 hours is a crazily scary film :/
...i do believ im beginning to ramble...
OH! DEREK- look at my Skulduggery toy/ thing:
http://rachelsanythinggoes.blogspot.com/2011/06/mini-skulduggery.html
PWEEEEEESSSSEEEE??
OMG I LOVE TO WRITE...LENKA KEEP WRITING!
ReplyDeleteI'm really into fanfiction for sp because i can't get enough of it.
My bff and I can't wait for the next book!
hi people. i am listening to music.how are you if anyones reading my comment
ReplyDeleteHI DEREK...ok random. Thanks for coming to Australia last year. You came to my school (PENNO) and the librarian before and afterwards read us the book. I got the whole series because I loved what she was reading to use and you signed it for me!!!!! Now I gotta get you to sign Mortal Coil and Death Bringer (when i get it :P)
ReplyDelete})i({ wow I'm such a fan ^^ lol!
hi derek. your books are really awesome. i read heaps. i also want to start writing but i never seem to have any free time to.
ReplyDeleteexcept maybe now...
anyway i was wondering how you could live with so many pets..
i have one goldfish, and thats heaps of work to look after. his(or her..) name is max.
i have one question though, is there going to be a skulduggery pleasant comic? that would be really cool. thanks
Herro Derek!
ReplyDeleteSkulduggery is the new Sherlock Holmes....enough said., Valkrie is what the hulk would be like if he wasn't green and was a sassy teenager, I just LOVE this series.
And am eagerly awaiting the next book :DD
In fact, as soon as I picked up the first book I IMMEDIATELY had a sudden compulsion to write (which rarely happens)and I ended up writing like 80 pages of my own story :)
Keep the good stuff coming :)
(feeling awkward about his first post)
........
YOUR AMAZING
I just couldn't resist...
Greetings Mr Landy,
ReplyDeleteI know you probably don't have the time or the inclination to read all these comments, but I have something to ask. A few people have asked if I would publish the SKUL-MAN comics, but I'm certain there's no way to et around that because you wrote the books and own all the characters and storylines contained therein. If I put the comics into a book on Lulu but didn't intend to distribute any copies to anyone else, would that be OK?
Thanks x x x
DEREK LANDY IS AWSOME!!!!!! just had 2 say that. I am trying to get as MANY people as I can to read Skulldugery pleasent as i think it should have ATLEAST as good reputation as Harry Potter
ReplyDeletehello...
ReplyDelete*sighs*
ReplyDeleteHello Mr Landy
ReplyDeleteI would just like to say one thing.
ReplyDeleteOMG YOU ARE THE AWESOMEST PERSON EVER YOUR BOOKS ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
ReplyDeleteDerek, I'm sure you already know this, but you are the best writer ever. Ever in existence. Okay that's all. I just need to state how awesome you are.
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Landy,
ReplyDeleteThought you might be curious to see a picture of my late baby girl. This is from more than a month ago, so she was a bit bigger than this. This was her favorite thing to do - think she liked the noise hammering the hood of the car made. Please ignore the background; I know we're trailer trash. :-P
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7BVsQ1nyjhI/TgBjGOgokxI/AAAAAAAAADI/yee1VTsf9Uo/s1600/firenze.jpg
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO NORTH AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!! That is if you could. It would be great
ReplyDeletehello..... friends
ReplyDeleteanyone here, dot, dot, dot
ReplyDeleteim all alone :(
ReplyDeleteill just leave then.....................................................................................................................
ReplyDeleteim sorry about your goat, ann
ReplyDeleteIt was realy nice what you did Mr.Landy, i for one am in you'r dept and am proud to be known as one of you'r minions!!:)
ReplyDeleteAnn im so sorry about you'r goat. :(
Lenka, dont you let some snottey teatcher that obviousley has no idea what IT'S on about get to you ok. Please keep writing stories and dont let a teatcher step in the way of you'r future.
ReplyDeleteThis made my day :P
ReplyDeleteI agree with what the GOD said Lenka - don't give up!!
Also has anyone here heard of trock (songs bout doctor who) or wizard rock (songs bout harry potter)?
Because i really think it would be rather amazing if there were songs about skulduggery pleaseant and co... no ??
:)
It would be amazing !!
ReplyDeleteAww Ann, I'm really sorry to hear about your goat :(
ReplyDeleteI know you loved it, and I'm sure it's in a happy place now.
I just want you to know, that no matter what, we'll be here to comfort you in this sad time.
I hope you're OK, Ann.
:(
Lenka, nine out of ten authors have been told at some point that their work isn't good enough. You should take this as motivation to prove them wrong. I mean, whoever it was who told you you're not good enough, they obviously aren't good enough themselves.
ReplyDeleteAnn-Marie, I'm so sorry to hear about your pet. Losing a pet is one of the most devastating things. It's unfair that humans have such long lives, yet their companions have such short lives. I guess humans have a lot more to learn, like how to love. Animals already know how so they don't need to be here as long.
Firstly Oh Golden God thankyou so much for helping out our dear friend Lenka. I would have taken part in the spamming but I wasn't here and it seems a bit pointless now. Although on your previous blog post I did post about it a few time
ReplyDelete*showers Derek with giant purple pet elephants*
You see? I told you I would.
Secondly I'm so sorry about your goat Ann! It must be so dreadful to lose a pet like that!
Finally I've finished all my exams! Huzzah!
So, Mr Landy, I can't stay long (piano lesson and stuff) but I thought I'd be a rebellious minion and comment on this one first :)
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, like everyone else, I would like to thank you for helping Lenka *gives Derek a giant cupcake (purple, of course* with the words 'Derek Landy is the greatest' spelt out on it* YAY! :D
hayhay hey!
ReplyDeleteQuinnera Elviana: 5th Seat of the Council of the Lost Ones
I had a piano lesson b4 this :D
hayhay bye g2g wtahcing narnia 2 disc special and trying to take mind of that i still hav to w8 for 6th BOOK!
ReplyDeleteHai Derek. I know you just said you rarely respond to comments, but if you're feeling nice and stuff, I would like you to answer my question either here or on Bebo (I'm Ashione Flare/Georgina Howlett, you know me.) My question for you, dear Derek, is this. Have you ever heard of NaNoWriMo?
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't then go look it up. It's a competition that's held worldwide in November. The competition is to write 50,000 words of a novel in one month/30 days/November. Seeing as, you know, you have September releases now, I figured that you might be writing each new Skulduggery book at around November time. Because of this, that's why I mentioned NaNoWriMo. AAAANYWAY. Another question, a smaller one, is have you put anyone into Death Bringer? You put Olivia/Flaring and Rowan/Shakra into Mortal Coil, and I was just wondering. You know, how your crazy minions do.
Imma go away now. :3 If you sign up to NaNoWriMo, let us all know! If you don't, then it doesn't matter. You're too awesome for words anyway, so you won't have any losses! :D
Ashione/Georgina :D x
P.S. As September approaches, so does the crazy gang of fans that are meeting you on tour... Oh, and your hug from me. :3 I must give you one!
Teachers are supposed to encourage you to nurture your talent and help you fulfill what you want from life. Not put you down. Lenka, I've been in your position and, not only did I expressly tell him that he was wrong, I've spent the past two years proving it. Don't let them get to you.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ann Marie, I've never had a pet due to my mum's allergies but I love animals and losing one close to your heart must be terrible. Keep your chin up and be happy in the knowledge you have all these friends to support you.
thank you very much derek sir
ReplyDeleteHey-yal, hey golden god!!
ReplyDeleteThank you mr Landy!
ReplyDeleteWhat other great author would do this?!?!?!
Thank you sir, we greatly appretecite you helping Miss Lenka Sweet!
And Ann Marie what happened?!!
I just wish there was more support for young writers, Derek, s'all. It's all fine and dandy for us to be writing now, but what's the point if you haven't got anybody to critique and you spend the early stages of your writing career getting your work ripped to shreds by publishers? That would happen in 99% of cases, but if you were... I dunno, continually given comments on your work, it would prepare you more. ><;

ReplyDeleteCONFUFLED
OMG I am on the first page!! And Derek you have inspired soo many people I hope Lenka is inspired enough as to write again!!
ReplyDeleteHIYA. and Derek.
ReplyDeleteNo comment for me :-(
Oh my wee brother (I named him) DEREK that's his name. Hehehehe, I like his name I thought you would too.
He is so cute. He is so funny. But he pulls hair. Do you pull hair? Hopefully not, because IT HURTS!!!
When I say wee, I mean BABY he's tiny
ReplyDeleteHi everyone I'm new, Just thought I thought I'd say the Golden God is amazing and would like to say sorry about the pet to Ann-Marie.Good luck with the writing to Lenka, I'm off to bed now!
ReplyDeletewow I remember when I was a heavy commenter on the blog posts XP I kinda dropped off the face of the earth (...actually I bought minecraft)
ReplyDeleteSo, Derek, if one of your readers said they were writing about a mysterious skeleton character who was also a fire welding detective (different name though) what would you say? Would that seem TOO unoriginal to you or would it simply feel like strong inspiration? What if such a work was published, how would you feel then?
Oh, and, balaczter, my english teacher put together an after school club for writing and while we can't always bring in our longer works, we bring in our short stories, prose, poems, etc. and it's great to have other people that you can give your writing to, so I'd suggest trying to get together a small group of people or maybe talk to teachers about making an official little club! Also, I remember very, very clearly, early in the school year, my teacher brought in four boxes: one had some acceptance letters, and the other three were PACKED with rejection letters. He kept them all and he had A LOT, but since then he's gotten small works published. Just because one or 100 people say no, that doesn't mean NO one will say yes. If you have passion for it, you will try your hardest and search for that one person who will give you your yes. :)
ReplyDeletezzzzzzzzzz...... wooooooahhhhhhhh
ReplyDeletemy heads gone all fuzzy with the spanish....
dam mi casa dam dam dam!!!!
Vivo en broadstairs en el sureste de Inglaterra.
Ha...Ha HA! I CAN comment. Thank you Octaboona. I am currently eating a big bowl of soup. I don't really like this kind of soup but hey...
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of writing, I haven't really had the time to write lately with the whole, end of the year thing. I'm writing a story and have gotten a few pages and some odd words in, but, grrr...When school is over, I am going to write like there is no tomorrow, hopefully.
And speaking of pets, I had to 'babysit' a wild baby bunny for about an hour until my dad was done cutting the grass in the area that it was in. Poor thing, it's little heart went a mile a minute anytime anyone else came near or the lawn mower was near.
Anywho, I have to go grocery shopping. Oh, joy.
Nice to 'talk' to you again Mr. Landy.
Blessed be,
Miss Mary Hiashi
Lucky for you, Mieep, we got nothing. xD;
ReplyDeleteI tried showing some of my work to my English teacher but what I got was 'Less dialouge. Otherwise good.'
/FACEPALM
But there's no writing competitions out there, the only big one that I can really think of is the Doctor Who one for primary school kids. =___=;
If there were more things like that for teenagers, it'd be good. It's all for little five year olds and rubbish now, though, as far as competitions go. Or anything to do with writing. xD

Hmm...We have a few writing competitions here. I won one of them...Anyway, mother promised to take me out for ice cream if I finish a book...Time to get writing it seems.
ReplyDeleteAnd vita is an interesting name. Vita, vitae I am to presume in latin is the word for life. Ma la vita è l'italiano, non?
I may have messed up that sentence. My order of the words sometimes sucks.

ReplyDeletehi destiny
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone!
ReplyDeleteFor once I'm on the first page!
*grins*
Ok have to go bye!
ReplyDeleteAND GOLDEN GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi.
@Balaczter Good God, I've been struck with an idea! A while a back I set up a forum for people to write on a get feed back but it never took off and remains dead to this moment.
ReplyDeleteWe. Should. Set. Up. A. Competition.
I'll need staff members and judges if anyone's interestedddd...? :D
http://sacredsweatshirt.proboards.com
take a look around! ^.^ I'll have to do a little cleaning up here and there, but otherwise, if we can get enough people interested I'd love to collaborate with everyone and set up a competition! :D Should it be relative to Detective Pleasant and friends or simply a general writing submition? I'm all ears, guys!:D
(P.S.) HAHAHA I just found my old Skulduggery Pleasant site, oh man, good times with this one. LOTS of coding, LOTS and LOTS :P Oh boy, I love this site XP htt://mrxpleasant.proboards.com Sigh, all of the buttons are messed up from the host updates :P oh, well.
Wow I have never posted on the blog before but I've read it for a long time and Derek I feel like I should officially tell you that with this post you have popped up to me favorite author...well not so much popped up as secured your position in number 1 lol
ReplyDeleteDerek... we heart you. You are so real to us; you inspire us. You make us laugh, and think, and you add depths to the world of writing that we were not previously aware. You really care about your Minions; we really appreciate that. Your books are great, and you're great too (obviously-- Golden Gods have to be now don't they). So.... thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHai People
ReplyDeleteDerek
is
awesome
enuff said
or maybe not?
Hmmmm
hellooooooo?
ReplyDeleteAnyone there
Oh wow xD Yipeeeee
ola people so whats occuring I just got up an hour ago and already need another coffee mmmm coffee :) wait a minute (scrolls up the page)
ReplyDeleteyesssssssssssssssssssss I think I'm on the first page yeahhhhhhhh +___+ any way i'm of to do nothing. jackskin no.1 fan over and out.
I feel bad about not writeing this in my eairylier comments- Ann I am so sorry about your goat im sure it is in a good place now...
ReplyDeletehello... *sighs* how come when i go on the comp no 1 is on :( its only 8:07
ReplyDeleteI write Skulduggery Pleasant Fan Fiction on Wattpad. I LOVE SP!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me angry that teachers actually try to steer kids away from writing; I mean, being teachers, I would have thought they'd do the opposite (but no, can't have kids wasting their time with stories, can we? *facepalm).
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to be encouraged to write by my own teachers (then again, I didn't give them much choice, since I shoved a bundle of handwritten pages into their hands each week for them to critique). Unfortunately the discouragement comes from my own family, who offer me such pearls of wisdom as "The world doesn't need more books" or "How bout you stop wasting time making up stories and do something constructive?" I generally ignore them and write anyway; I'm a writer, I have no choice, if I don't get all my story ideas out of my head, I'll go insane. But it just annoys me... After all, I don't stand behind them while they're watching TV and go "How is that being productive? Go and do something useful, like invent a dingo-juggling machine?"
Coz one of those would be handy.
The point is, writing should NEVER be discouraged.
Right?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%!
...sigh.
ReplyDeleteno one's here.
Bye!
AND GOLDEN GOD!!!!
It would be the greatest honor of all if you LOOKED AT my blog, "every now and then."
I'm posting poetry and starting to post short stories there!
how come anytime I'm on no 1 else is on the comp it's annoying (puts fist through the wall and breaks hand when he realises he's not a cartoon) ahh well I'm going to get ready for science and then go to judo
ReplyDeletelol ok
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
ReplyDeleteIm worried bout school, bothe the halves of my year are mixing together then forming two new halves of the year, thing is everyone i know is going to be in the other half to me meaning i wil not be in any of their lessons, and there are some mean people coming into my half so im realy worried, what should i do ???????????? :(

ReplyDeleteI'd love to say that I've always been a fan but I can't. My friend kept telling me that your books were good but alas I did not listen, I just kept saying " He is a skeleton, I don't get how he can be a detective if he's dead!". That was when I was 11, now 3 years later I have seen the light. Thank you!

Hello, I'm just another avid fan of the SP books. In fact, I kind of live and breathe 'em. I've been known to scream in the bookstore when I see a new volume of the series. I love to write in my spare time and your novels have helped me explore what little of a humourous side I have. (I am not talented at all when it comes to writing with humour.) So I applied what I think I learned from your books and wrote a sort of satire story... I turned it in for English, and got an extremely good mark. So, in addition to writing some of the most entertaining books I've ever read, you've helped me grow as a writer. I can't thank you enough.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
-"Astrid"
I smiled when I saw your comment for Lenka, even though I've no idea who she is. Thanks Derek [:

ReplyDeleteMum: I haven't seen you on that blog... blogger... thingy site in a while.
ReplyDeleteMe: Blogspot?
Mum: Uh-huh.
Me: Yeah, well. Just some... homework and stuff.
Mum: Well. Maybe you should check that Dan... no, that's not his name. Dean? D-
Me: Derek?
Mum: *nods* That's it! Derek Andy-
Me: Derek LANDY, Mum.
Mum: Whatever. Maybe you should check his blogger thing-
Me: Blogspot.
Mum: -to see if he's going to MK Waterstones again. Like the book signing you went to last year.

*Freaks out*
MUM!
Mum: What?!
Me: MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM! LOOK! LOOK AT THIS!
WHAT WHAT are you looking at lenka tell us pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeassseeeeeeeee
ReplyDeleteLMAO if my mom saw this blog she'd probably get my dad to block it or something just because she thinks I'm talking to people I don't know on the interent and technically I am but it's not like I'm handing out credit card information or something.
ReplyDeleteShe actually told you to go check it, Lenka? :P
By the way, I think you might like this idea, but I think we should set up an online competition on my website. People seem to have trouble finding places to submit writing, so I thought it would be a good idea. What do you think? Here's the website: http://sacredsweatshirt.proboards.com
My mum onlmost grounded me when she found out i went on this blog, i had to reasure her that it was safe and that i wont give out peronal detailes, so all is well; everytime i go on the computer, my mum says "are you on that blog thing again!"
ReplyDeleteSo you know. :)
@rebecca My Mum is fine with the whole 'talking to people online' thing. She's one of the 'cool mums' :D
ReplyDelete@jackskin Derek commented on my own personal blog! and posted about me in one of his golden posts! which for me has like, made my day. so yeah, i'm kind of fangirling a little to my mum about it xD
@mieepp that site. looks. awesome.
wow. seriously, that's such a cool idea! i think i might submit something if i get a burst of inspiration at all ;) but honestly, wonderful wonderful site! <3
when you say jackskin do you mean me or someone else :)
