The Death Bringer Tour


Here you are, my Minions, all of the Ireland and UK public events are listed below. In between all these, I’ll be doing a lot of school events, but these are the ones where anyone will be able to attend.

As usual, whole sections will be missed out, because every year I try to visit different regions. So if I’m not going to be anywhere near you this year, I’ll probably be there in 2012. Maybe.

Sept 3rd
10 AM, WHS Brent Cross, London- public signing.
3 PM, Waterstones Bromley- signing.

Sept 4th
1 PM, Glenearn Community Campus Hall, Perth, Scotland –event.
6 PM, Waterstones, Stirling, Scotland - event.

Sept 5th
5:30 PM, Waterstones, Sauciehall St, Scotland – event.

Sept 7th
1 PM, Seven Stories, Newcastle – event.
4 PM, Waterstones, Blackett Street, Newcastle – signing.

Sept 9th,
3:30 PM, Waterstones Cambridge – signing.

4 PM, Easons, Newbridge – signing.

Sept 16th,
10:30 AM, Liberty Hall, Dublin – event.
4:30 PM, Easons, Swords, Dublin – signing.

There'll probably be two more signings around Ireland on the 17th, but I don't know where yet.


Oh, and on the 15th and 16th of October I'll be at the Frankfurt Book Fair!


You can bring whatever you have and I'll do my best to sign everything. Naturally, if the queue is huge and time is running out, I may only be able to sign one thing per person, but I'll try my best. If you're lucky, only half a dozen people will actually turn up and then we'll have LOADS of time to chat! Oh, and if this "one book per person" rule comes into effect, try not to take it personally.

When I was over in Australia I'd been signing for two or three hours and I was seriously running out of time, so we announced that I'd only be able to sign one book per person in order to get through everyone. Now, all the people standing in the queue were very cool and understanding about it, they didn't mind one little bit...

... apart from this one particular boy.

I'm sure he regrets it now, but he started to stamp his feet when his mother told him that no, Derek couldn't sign everything. And then he started whining. And then he started crying. And his face was all red and blubbery and I was trying to explain, as quickly and as kindly as possible, that I just didn't have the time, but he kept stamping his feet in front of EVERYBODY and I was trying my best not to break out laughing. The poor little lad. So I said fine, okay, and I scrawled my name on his books and his mother took him away, hanging her head in shame. 

It was, and I really don't want to be mean here, hysterically funny, and even remembering it now has me laughing...

So, beware of this rule! As more and more people read the books, and as more and more books are released, I obviously don't have the time I used to. But if everything goes according to plan I should have plenty of time to sign, doodle and- most importantly for me- chat to you guys while I'm sitting there. 

Oh, and hugs are encouraged (time-permitting).

Blood Butterflies said...

lego said...

:D Whenever my brother gets depressed at the world, he plays it on max volume. It works so much better than heavy metal.

Blood Butterflies said...

I'm in school so.... but three hours after this I'm gonna be a puff of smoke. will be back later though.

Gepard Valk said...

Guys a brand new fan-fic!
http://gepardskulfanfic.blogspot.com/2011/08/cloning-part-1.html
GO! READ! COMMENT! BUT MOST OF ALL, ENJOY!

Blood Butterflies said...

*catches Kal the Queenfisher as she falls down from Niall's head*

*puts on own head*

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Lego, what does he blast? I'm confuzzled...

Blood Butterflies said...

REG

lego said...

BLORG! all of you are typing too fast for me. Sons and daughters, Naill.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

I do not know what that is. *googles*
Also, Gepard, your fic is great! Your version of me sounds a lot like me IRL. But less sarcastic and snarky. =P

Gepard Valk said...

I hope you are all enjoying my New fan-fic ¬¬ You better leave a comment, ALL OF YOU!!!

lego said...

@ naill- the song I posted...

Blood Butterflies said...

Hey guys Imma have to go now. Will be back after three hours. Buhbye :]

lego said...

bye bb! Nice seeing you! *hugs*

Gepard Valk said...

LEGO *hugs*

lego said...

*hugs* GEPO!

Gepard Valk said...

Will you please read my fan-fic? *bats lashes* And also, do you have an OC? I couldn't find it.

lego said...

I read it and loved it. :) and my oc is right here: http://legolaswrites.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-finially-wrote-something-sort-of.html

Ann Marie said...

Wow, you guys haven't been this chatty in weeks!

HIIIIIII everyone!

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Songs for Niall's moods:
Depressed- The Process- I Fight Dragons (always cheers me up)
Happy- Three Little Birds- Bob Marley
Happy 2- I Feel Fantastic- JoCo
Romantic- Dusty Cartridges and Long Boxes- Kirby Krackle
"I want to kill everyone now, but I want to feel better"- Autotune the news: Charlie Sheen- Gregory Brothers/Schmoyoho
"I want to kill evryone now"- Death Before Dishonor- Five Finger Death Punch
"I need to get psyched"- She's Got Sorcery- I Fight Dragons
"Me sleeeeeepy"- Justin Bieber slowed down 800%- Google it.

Gepard Valk said...

Romantic? :P

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Hey Ann!
*huggles/glomps/whatever*

I would also like to point out that "depressed" and "I want to kill everyone are fairl uncommon, and default Niall is "Chill, but wondering where he left X, Y or Z, and trying to remember if he fed the fish. And he's hungry."

Min (Thalia) said...

Well, I'm done with dinner, but I'm going to do some writing. I might be back later. Bye all!

lego said...

*hugs ann*

lego said...

bye thalia!

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Gepard, yeah.
YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH MY BIG HEART? HUH?

Ann Marie said...

Re: discussions from last page-

Institutionalized education is, in some part, meant to train conformity in order to turn out compliant factory workers.

Lego, don't you wonder why there is this social pressure to infantilize women by removing signs of maturity?

Not that I don't pluck chin hairs. I'm not ready to be that mature.

Gepard Valk said...

Actually Niall, I do. Girls aren't worth it.

Ann Marie said...

Bye Thalia!

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Ann, Qualifications mean nothing, anyway. My mum works for a government agency in HR, and part of her job is to help recruit people. She says that they don't even usually look at people's qualifications.

And I was kidding about the shaving thing. I think it's dumb how society's like "you have to look like this, do this, and you can't do that." Especially to teenage girls.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Gepard,
BUT MY HEART. IT'S TOO GORSHDARNED BIG.
I'm just a marshmallow, really.

lego said...

@ ann- I don't really wonder. I kind of feel like it's one of those things you can't change. Like you can create a little society where there's no social pressure to shave or look a certain way. But I can't change society as a whole.

Ann Marie said...

Niall, I don't remember you saying anything annoying about shaving, so maybe I got the joke. XD

We're a social species, so there have to be standards of behavior to minimize conflict. But who sets the standards? And why? There's usually someone who stands to benefit. when all our rules benefit everyone equally, maybe we'll be civilized.

Gepard Valk said...

@Niall
YOU'RE A MARSHMALLOW?!
*eyes go wide*

*chases after Niall, trying to eat him*

lego said...

and naill, you weren't joking when you first told me to shave. I know that I'm totally being over sensitive here, but I feel pretty strongly about this stuff, people on here to be respectful of that.

Gepard Valk said...

Guys, leave comments on my fic :( I feel ye don't like it if ye don't bother commenting..

Ann Marie said...

So, you feel powerless? Maybe that's how you're supposed to feel.

I don't know. It's easier to ignore stupid rules when you're too socially inept to recognize that people disapprove. XD

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist:

Multinational corporations set up these societal pressures, and here is why:
Pressure leads to a desire for change.
Desire to change leads to buying products.
Buying products lead to money for ad campaigns.
Ad campaigns lead to a desire for change.
Desire for change leads to conformity.
Conformity leads to homogonisation.
Homogonised people are easy to market to.

Anonymous said...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO SOMEWHERE IN NORTHERN IRELAND, PREFERABLY BELFAST/CRAIGAVON!!

My other (yes, by saying other, I imply you are one too) hero, Tim Minchin is coming to Dublin but I'm too far away/young to go so please indulge me and your other fans from up here!

I swear that if you do, I will bake cookies, make sure no rohypnol is present and give them to you and give you the best hug ever as I was recently taught how to properly (with both shoulders, apparently that is the trick to good hugs)

I cannot wait for the new book! :D

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

And Lego, I was totally joking.
It really doesn't bother me whether a girl shaves or not. I was setting up a joke. (Which I think you missed the punchline to.)

Ann Marie said...

Homogonised people are easy to market to.

Never had that pointed out to me before, but yeah!

lego said...

ann, no matter how socially inept you are, if you were still in middle school, I'm pretty sure that you would be able to recognize that people disapprove.

Gepard Valk said...

hi anne , wanna read my new fan-fic?


*sighs*

Gepard Valk said...

ann*

lego said...

@ naill- I got the punchline, I just suck at internet humor.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Ann, if you can make everyone exactly the same, you don't even need to introduce societal pressures. You can just go "buy this thing" and people will.

*tinfoil hat*

Gepard Valk said...

Commeennnttt

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Lego, sorry if I offended you.
I put the "=P" at the end so I wouldn't...
It's hard to convey tone through the medium of text...
Sorry again.

Ann Marie said...

Gepard, I do! I also want to read everyone else's fic, and I'm way, way behind on that. Just requires more brain than I have most days.

Link me and I'll follow, though.

Niall, how do you make everyone the same without societal pressures?

Lego, ok, I could tell in middle school that people disapproved. What I couldn't figure out was WHY. But I got used to it and don't care so much now. :-P

Gepard Valk said...

http://gepardskulfanfic.blogspot.com/

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Ann, why would you WANT TO make everyone the same, with or without societal pressures?

(Dear God I love our conversations XD)

Ann Marie said...

Thanks!


What's wrong with women with hairy backs, anyway?

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

It was a punchline to a bad joke.
DON'T HOLD MY PUNCHLINES AGAINST ME.

*hides*

lego said...

@ Naill- it's okay. I'm sorry for making a problem out of what was a joke. I blame my tired, defensive mind. Sorry.
@ ann- I think that my immediate reaction is to assume that everyone who disapproves of me is a sexist butt-head. Wondering why they feel that way is probably a better reaction, but not the one that comes to me.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Lego, they feel that way because they've been (at least partly) homogenised.

Ann Marie said...

I don't want to, particularly.

Now say if I wanted to sell billions of razors to women so I could make tons of money, I'd be invested in pressuring women to have baby-smooth legs.

But like I said, similar behaviors and values reduce conflict and fighting, and in general that's a good thing. Some conformity is good for us. Just some people seem to understand that, without thinking too hard about what it's important to conform to.

Is it important that we conform to a certain hair color?

Is it important that we conform to a specific sexual orientation?

Is it important we agree that it's bad to kill people?

Is it important that we agree it's bad to steal?

Is it important that we agree that women should know their place and stay in it, and that place is subservient to men?

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

And also because teenagers are disgusting, horrible little things.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Annn, here's how I think society should be governed.

Does it hurt people?
Yeah?
Then don't do it.

Being gay doesn't hurt people. Go for it. Having purple hair doesn't hurt people. Go for it. Having more hair on your legs/back/arms than on your head doesn't hurt people. Go for it.

Ann Marie said...

Aw, teenagers are fun! In moderation, anyway.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Teenagers are disgusting and thy make me want to punch people. I'm making a broad generalisation, but I'm part of the group, so I'm allowed to.
I'd say around 60% of teenagers really enjoy grinding other teens to dust for no reason. Especially girls. Teenage girls are horrible. (excpet for the ones who aren't)

Ann Marie said...

Niall, agreed. The new conformity should be that we agree not to pressure people to conform to stupid stuff.

You're already running into problems, though, cause not everyone agrees what's harmful. Not everyone agrees what's people, for that matter.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

That came off as really angry...
Oops.
;^_^

lego said...

who decides what's important? Because I can imagine some pretty hellish town meetings.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Ann, working off of the human rights seems to be okay for a society to be governed by, and I would argue that every single human being alive is a "person"

Ann Marie said...

I wasn't a horrible teenage girl. :-P

Lego, they are sexist. Buttheads, I don't know about. If they are, I'm a butthead, too. I've said sexist, racist, ablist things. And had it pointed out to me. And been defensive about it.

I'm fine with being angry that people have learned these things, but not so comfortable with automatically labeling people based on what they've learned.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

But it doesn't matter, because we still don't have a system of government that actually WORKS. This is all entirely hypothetical.
2,000 years. Nothing. We need a system that is actually good, as opposed to "Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others."

Ann Marie said...

Well, the unborn of our species are indisputably human, and indisputably alive, but not everyone agrees to the personhood.

I'll agree that all humans are people, though. What about non-humans?

lego said...

ann- I'm really trying not to hate individual people, but it's really hard. People go away, but the society that made them that way doesn't. Unless we change it, of course, but that is not something I can count on happening in the near future.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Speaking of sexism, you know what really annoys me?
Militant feminist groups.
Not all of them, just the ones that are all "men are absolutely worthless." That's just a different kind of sexism!
Men and women need to work together as a whole. Hell, "working together" (*ahem*) is essential to the advancement of the species!

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

This is an obscenely fun conversation.

Ann Marie said...

Sorry, all I can do is hypothetical. XD



"Be the change..." and all that. Seriously, the world is changing every day. In general it trends towards better. Just help it along.

lego said...

I know. And I hate that I'm being all "if what you're doing doesn't help as much as you think, you shouldn't do anything at all" because I get really annoyed when I see articles like that. I just feel really removed from any change that's happening.

Ann Marie said...

LOL. Told you I'd said sexist things! Sometimes still think them. It's hard not to.

I'm not generally militant, though, just sort of quietly go about my day occasionally wondering what men are good for... er.

*butthead*

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

We really, REALLY need a functioning system of governmet, though.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Ann, it's cool. Sometimes I wonder what men are good for, too. XD

ummm.. We can put up shelves?

Ann Marie said...

(((Lego))) I'm sorry, you're not having as much fun with this.

Yeah, Niall, you have any ideas for that? The governments are run by people like us, who are all flawed and not impartial. We don't all agree on what a good government should do, so how do we implement one?

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

OH! I've got one!
A man helped give you two wonderful children.

Like I said "working together (*ahem*)".

You can think of your wonderful children and feel all fuzzy inside now. Permission granted.

lego said...

I am. :) I'm just ridiculously distracted.

Ann Marie said...

LOL.

Dangit, I'm enjoying this, but I have to go.

(((Niall and Lego))) Bye!

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Bye Ann!
Tell your wonderful children I said hi!

lego said...

men can flip pizza dough really well! Or maybe that's just the men in my family. Or they can wake up early to make a dozen vegan donuts! *hopes no one notices that all of hers revolve around food*

lego said...

bye ann! *hugs*

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Lego, if you don't mind me asking, what are you being distracted by?

*nosenoseprypryharass*

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

WB Kal!
You missed an epic conversation!

lego said...

I'm trying to feed my dog enough food that we can get a stool sample out of him tomorrow, eavesdrop on my dad's conversation about my grandpa's cancer, and weighing weather I want to eat or keep talking more.

lego said...

Hi kallista! *hug*

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

I see... That's quite a lot of stuff...

lego said...

it's not usually this crazy, my house tends to go beserk at the end of the summer.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

My house isn't really crazy, it's just busy.
(Which clashes with my personality an md lifestlye in general.)

lego said...

okay, my urge to pee/eat seems to be winning out..brb

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Okay, guys, I'm staying until 3AM, but after that, I'm going to bed...
Me sleepy.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

KK Lego.

Mega Royal Noogie!!!!
~shrieks~

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Skyril, I didn't notice until you pointed it out...
*rolls eyes*

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

~looks innocent~
Pointed what out, Niall?
[Is Niall a mind reader?]

lego said...

back. hi skyril! *hugs* did you know that drinking half a bottle of coconut creamer actually tastes pretty good if you haven't eaten properly all day?

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

I'm a wee bit hyper, hahahahahahaha!
~jumps up and down~

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Lego, if you haven't eaten properly, you really should.

(Says the guy who had a bar of chocolate and a banana for breakfast. At 3PM.)

Ann Marie said...

Hi Skyril!

Lego, um, ew.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

My glasses broke :(
I'd really had them too long anyway and need a replacement, but still. I was gently wiping off on of the lenses earlier and the frame snapped. I guess I was pushing a little bit too hard... I thought I was being really gentle though.... Anyway, so I'm sitting here with my face close to the screen and my back starting to hurt from hunching over. I hope I can get new ones soon, but I think my mom is going to try to superglue them tomorrow xD
I seriously hope that's only temporary.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Skyril, I know how you feel. I left my glasses in Sligo, which is like an hour's drive.
I don't have to lean into screens too hard, though...

Ann Marie said...

Supergluing glasses doesn't work very well. Trust me on this.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

@Kallista
It was a thing-a-muh-bob on dA that a person I watch did in their journal. So I copied it and did it myself in my own journal :P

@Legolas
Er.... interesting... ~hands her a grilled cheese sandwich, glad that I remembered that she's a vegetarian before giving her a ham sandwich~

@Niall
lol, well I often have only a cup of chocolate milk for breakfast or something like that :P

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

I agree with Ann.
Use duct tape.
Duct tape is the single greatest invention ever. Fire can't hold a candle to duct tape.

Ann Marie said...

She's vegan, so I hope that's fake cheese. XD

lego said...

I think it's too late to eat properly. I ate enough, it was just all out of plastic bags during a car ride.
@ skyril- I break/lose my glasses every year, and it sucks. I don't even have that strong of a prescription, but it just feels so ick to not be wearing them.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

I have bad eyes :P
I'm farsighted but... I'm really farsighted. I must have gotten from my dad... and reading a lot... and watching tv in the dark... and whatnot. My dad has even worse eyes than I.


@Kallista
LOL Thanks!
~puts them on~
What do you think?

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

I am both longsightedness AND shortsighted, because I'm broken.

I've always wondered how vegan baking works. Is there an egg substitute?

Ann Marie said...

That's nice, but now Niall needs glasses. Hmm.

*gives him Lego's*

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Why does autocorrect make longsighted longsightedness but doesn't make shortsighted shortsightedness?

Ann Marie said...

I've always been terribly nearsighted, but I'm getting farsighted too. Bifocals for me any time now. *sigh*

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

@Ann
...Oops... um... ~hands her... a slice of bread?~

@Kal
Um... Well can you copy and paste? Then just change the answers to whatever?

@Legolas
I'm very careful with my glasses because I pretty much wear them all the time I'm awake, and I just love how I can actually see the individual leave on a tree when I'm wearing them, lol. Non-glasses wearing folks would look at me funny at that and ask me the question I just said. "You can't see the leaves on a tree?"
I know 'cause I used to think my dad was silly for saying something like that, but then I got glasses and understood :P
Although, there is a certain beauty to the world when everything is unclear. Like the lights on a rode at night. They're like giant Christmas lights, bursting with color. It's amazing. :]

lego said...

I wear glasses purely from reading in the dark.
@ Naill- pumpkin, soy yogurt, corn starch, silken tofu, purred pumpkin, fancy powdered stuff, vinigar, ect.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Yeah, Skyril, you look awe- wait a minute...
Are they mine?
*can't really see them anyway*

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

My dad has trifocals, actually.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

I think I would have a hard time getting used to glasses that have more than one lens thingie...

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

I just got my glasses this year, and evryone was all "why do you wear them all the time now?" To which I usually reply "I like being able to see..."

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Uuuuh... Of COURSE not, Niall! These are totally different.... ~shifty eyes~

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Also, Fun Fact!
There's a type of water beetle that has bifocal eyes.

lego said...

I almost broke my glasses again yesterday, when they got covered in yellow paint, but I scrubbed really hard and got it off. I'm way too dangerous with my glasses, but I hate having them off if I need to see where I'm going.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Yay, Kallista!! ~throws purple confetti all over the place~

@Niall
I know, right? It's really fun! I got mine a bit over two year ago, but I remember when I got them and put them on that I just couldn't stop grinning and looking around and pointing and things as I say, "Hey, hey, I can read that :D"
To which my mom would laugh and shake her head. :P

Seriously? That's awesome! And it's really weird too!

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Skyril, I was the same way with my hearing. When I was young, I had an ear condition that led me to have god-awful hearing. I got a mini-operation done to restore it, and I spent that entire day crumpling up paper and flicking metal pipes and making squeaks with my shoes and generally going "THIS IS AMAZING! That makes a NOISE!"

Ann Marie said...

I wear my glasses all the time cause if I take them off, I won't be able to find them again.

Also helps with the not walking into walls and stuff.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Haha! That's so awesome! I can't imagine how great that would be! To actually be able to hear things that you couldn't before! FUN!

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Mmk, Kallista

Ann Marie said...

LOL Niall! That's cute.

Ok, I'm way too distracted to really stay. *hugs all* Maybe back later.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

About 35 minutes, Kallista... I PLAN to be on tomorrow considerably earlier than usual, though.
Sadly, sometimes my plans are completely ruined, but those are my intentions anyway :D

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Bye Ann!
I swear to God, crumpling my first piece of paper on that day was one of the best things in my life ever. You take stuff for granted, you know?

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

So, I know two of you here are vegetarian people, but I still have to show you this picture of the meal I had at my favorite bbq restaurant :D. It was positively delicious :D

lego said...

sorry for being ridiculously distracted again, I'm here now. :) Bye ann! *hugs*

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Awww I didn't see Ann was leaving :/
Farewell, Ann!!
~Hugs~
~Waves madly~
Hope to see you tomorrow! :]

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

I know exactly what you mean, Niall!
~grins~
So often, even over two years later, I put on my glasses in the morning and smile and am just... so amazed and thrilled with what I see... It's beautiful :]

lego said...

skyril, I am perfectly happy to gaze at dead meat. If I ever lose my ability to appreciate good food porn, I might as well not exist.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

2 things:
1. Skyril, that looks delicious. How are the ribs in said BBQ place.
2. I said I'd stay until 3AM. It's 3:30 now. Gutten nacht.

lego said...

bye naill! *hugs*

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

HUGS FOR EVERYONE!
*Niall gets everybody into a bear hug*
*Niall falls asleep*

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

LOL, Legolas!

@Niall
I'm not sure about the ribs. I've not tried them because I'm not a big rib person, and my brother, who loves them, has yet to visit my favorite bbq restaurant, which is truly sad.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Awww!!
LOL ~drags Niall to his bed and lays him on it~
Good-night, Niall!!
It was good seeing you :]

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Ribs are the best. I have to eat them with a knife and fork now, because of my braces, and it's just wrong...
You can't eat ribs with a knife and fork.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

LOL, Niall! Yeah, I know what you mean... but at least you still get to eat them :P

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

And plus it probably won't be too long before you're braces are gone :D

lego said...

how do you normally eat ribs? with a spork?

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

@Lego, you pick them up and chomp on them. The more BBQ sauce you can get on your face, the more points you get.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

~is horror struck~
With your hands holding them and your teeth digging in, Legolas!

lego said...

do you wear gloves or something?

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

~laughs hysterically, but nods to Niall's explanation~

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Of course not!
Apparently you've never seen someone eat ribs O.o

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Awww screw it. I'll stay up til 4. You guys are too fun.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Yay!!!
~cheers madly~
~throws purple confetti all over the place~
~hangs a disco ball~

lego said...

this convo makes me feel so prissy! :) I actually had to look up what they were to remind myself. My family doesn't eat them because my dad's stomach can't handle beef. My grandparents eat every type of meat they can find, but I've never seen them eating it with their hands...

lego said...

yay! *throws skyril's ribs all over the place*

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

SO they have bbq in the United Kingdom, huh? :P
DO you have a favorite restaurant or does someone cook?

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

lol, Legolas! One of my brothers will eat just about any kind of meat. He'll at least try it :P
And he LOVES ribs. Especially from this one restaurant called Sonny's where he gets all-you-can-eat.

Blood Butterflies said...

OH MY GAWD. HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THE BACK OF DEATH BRINGER?! PARDON THE LANGUAGE, BUT IT'S F**KING AWESOME. TOM PERCIVAL, I LOVE YOU.

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

I love BBQ, and I'm a big food nerd, too.
I know BBQ THEORY. For example, the four genres of sauce.

And we usually just cook it. There aren't really any local places that serves good barbecue.

Blood Butterflies said...

Anyhoo, as you have noticed, I am back!

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Welcome back, Kallista!!!

~falls out of chair laughing as I imagine Kallista giggling over food porn~ :P

Blood Butterflies said...

... food porn?

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

WB BB
OMGWTFBBQ

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Butterflies!!
~glomps~
Hullo!

Blood Butterflies said...

*falls over laughing*

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Four genres of BBQ? lol, I like a a guy that knows his BBQ! xP teasing :P But I do think it's rather awesome!

Blood Butterflies said...

*is glomped*

*stares for awhile*

*continues to laugh*

Anyhoo, my older brother uploaded chapter 4! yay!

lego said...

hi bb! food porn is food that's so beautiful that it makes you gasp a little.

Blood Butterflies said...

*looks at Kal*

What happened to your Queenfisher form?

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

*heavy southern drawl*
You got your four sauces. Mustard-based, vinegar-based, light tomato-based, and heavy tomato-based. Then, acourse, you got your dry rubs, marinades, and whatnot.
Then you got you coleslaw and your Carolina coleslaw, which don't gots Mayo in it. Then you gots your salads and *et cetera et cetera*

Blood Butterflies said...

I'm beautiful myself, and that's all I need lego.

Er.... Kal?

Niall, the Guy With a Boring Name. said...

Hi Kal? I said Hi already, didn't I?

Sorry...

Blood Butterflies said...

lol Niall.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

@Niall
~simply can't stop laughing~
Alright.
That's epica.

It said to me, Lego...
"This picture is currently unavailable"

Blood Butterflies said...

I recognize the second photo as sambal calamari rings and the first photo is a chocolate iced cupcake. That's it.
*stone face*

No but seriously, good photos. didn't gasp though. Too self controlled for that :D

lego said...

just so you know naill, I'm now envisioning all future statements you make in a deep southern accent. :)
