Finally!
You don't know what it's like, you really don't. I finished the book, was very happy with it, and then took a few days of doing nothing before starting The End Of The World and some other stuff. And all the while I'd be reading your comments, and the comments on the Forums and Facebook, and smiling because everyone seemed to be looking forward to it so much.
But that was MONTHS ago!
To have to sit here and watch all of you count down the days made me feel so incredibly guilty for putting you through that. But now, finally, the wait is over. It is September 1st. It is Death Bringer day.
The Launch last night in Dublin was manic...! It turned into a marathon signing session, and it had Storm Troopers! STORM TROOPERS! I didn't get a chance to chat to any of the people I know and usually see at launches, because I was staring at the Storm Troopers and then signing books and staring at Boba Fett and signing books...
'Twas a good way to launch Death Bringer, so thank you Eason's bookshop!
And what will I be doing today, you ask? The day of the release? Will I be doing interviews and attending champagne parties? Er... no. I will be cleaning my house. I'm off on tour tomorrow, and as usual Laura will be staying here while I'm gone, so I have to get the place ready for her or she'll glare at me. And you've never been glared at by Laura. It's SCARY.
So all of you who have just bought the book, I hope you like it. The previous blog entry is still the ONLY place you can post spoilers, so don't do that here. And even in the previous entry, try to HINT at the spoilers instead of blurting them out. Because there are SOME people, who will remain nameless, who felt the need to SKIM the spoilers and were dismayed when certain things were spoiled for them... which I actually find hilarious. If you don't want anything spoiled, DO NOT READ THE SPOILER SECTION! Sigh.
Okay, I have a house to clean. And you? You have a book to read.

Thanks for your comment on my poem, Pyro :]
You're welcome Skyril!
Has anyone here heard of steampunk?
...

oh, and thats a yes ^^ hes far more into it than I am, but I still like it. :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly6hkp9_kh0&feature=related STEAMPUNK MUSIC
hi everyone! *hugs*
I really need to puke that pairing out of my mind, it's disturbing me too much.
hmm...I don't know how old I look. I used to look really young, but then I started doing ridiculous things to my hair and wearing obscene amounts of black, and people stopped telling me how absolutely adorable I am. =p
~Hugs Kal~
Thanks :]
@Pyro
Yup! I've heard of steampunk!
@Lego
Hiya, Lego!
~glomps~
Oh, and Lego

New poem, if you get a chance to read it :]
*bemused hug* Im fine kal. I just meant because he likes steampunk so much ^^
I know, when I came home from the plane all I wanted to do was sleep... I won't begrudge him if he does too.
Hi Legolas!!!¡¡¡!!!
:)
Pyro, why did you ask?
@Skyril- yay, thank you! Can't wait until I'm trying to do less than 12 things so I can read it.
@Pyro- I'm mildly obsessed. Not like there's any community over here or I'd actually ever wear any of it, but I still spend hours staring at pictures.
@kallista- *turns the brick wall into a giant, glittery cloud and runs into her arms.
Loads of things I see seem to do with steampunk.
That song, mortal engines, and a game on Nitrome
I love Mortal Engines... that reminds me, i should really draw Hester sometime :/
LOL That's a lot of things to be doing at one, Lego :P
I haven't read much of the mortal engines series. I've read Fever Crumb and all of the blurbs…
Have y'all ever heard the songs Havoc in Heaven or Sister Rosette Goes before Us or the Trampled Rose?
Octa has all of the published books.
But I'm reading Bartimeaus at the moment.
thats why Octa is my bro!
Kal - Fever is who I would be if I could do maths.
brb...my sister came home from a birthday party with a chocolate bar. Will have to bribe her. :)
Ditto!
(at Kal's answer to Skyril's question. I won't be getting chocolate any time soon.)
Back. Internet again.
@Kal
I love all three of them. :] Want me to see if I can find them on youtube?
@Lego
LOL ~hands her frying pan~
Frying pans solve everything.
@Pyro
Your sister just came with a candy bar from a birthday party and you have too try to bribe here so brb?
LOL Oh, alright then, Pyro :P
i was wondering...
@Kal - SNEAKY PERVY BEDTIME INCEST HUGS!! (also - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9T-3-G3nys&feature=related is making me happy-sad derpy smile)
back...she licked the whole thing when she saw me...*pouts*
LOL ~Hugs Kallista back~
Okie-doke!
Here's Trampled Rose. I'll find the other two in a minute.
Trampled Rose I like, but I like the others better so we'll do this in order form least to best I suppose :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDEH6lod-OY
LOL, Lego :P]
~hands her a candy bar~
;)
I just have this image of pyro sneaking into octas room while he's sleeping and hugging him, and then octa freaking out.
*evil giggle*
*gives kallista a hug anyways*
thanks skyril! *considers sharing but noms it all from extreme chocolate depravation*
Here's Havoc in Heaven. I really love this one.
Um, ignore the video.. I have no clue...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CapcQKo3IU
yay! *puts on googles and goes swimming*
LOL
~can't resist but to dive into the chocolate with Lego~
:D awesome song! And don't worry about the video...my favorite music video involves a bunch of guys in powdered wigs and exploding chickens.
WHAT IS THIS
I've been waiting all day to ride the rocket car, so then we get to the Salute, and THE LINE IS CLOSED. WHY. ASDFGHJKL
Then, of course, life hates me so it started raining. And we didn't have our car with us, because it was right up the street from our house. Baaahhh. I'm soaked now. Normally I like the rain. But not when I have to sprint to the place where my dad is supposed to be with the car, back to the place where he actually is and where we started while trying to make sure my phone doesn't get wet and die.
OK. Rant over.
Here's Sister Rosette Goes Before Us
I love this one too :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLG9ERQOdBw
Anyway........hi all!
*hugs everyone*
How're you lot?
too tired to draw
too tired to write
Death Bringer is calling my name.
WHY AM I NOT GOING TO BED!
aww...*hugs thalia*
*hugs Legolas*
*hugs Kallista*
*grins and flails around in the chocolate*
Back.
@Lego
LOL!
Alright... :P
Powdered wigs and exploding chickens...
@Thalia
Hullo! :D
~glomps~
Sorry about that :/ I hate it when something like that happens. I'm you're ok at least, though :]
@Kallista
LOL Awesome! Glad you like them :]
@Ven
'Cause you love us too much :D
~gives her a cupcake~
Kallista! I left you a comment on your blog BOINK.
Thanks for your comment on my poem, Thalia :]
Did you read the other one? If you have a chance, it's here
http://skulduggerypoetry.blogspot.com/2011/09/kallista-pendragon.html#comments

and with that, good night all of you!
sky - remind me about the poems tomorrow!
Niall, if you come on, go to sleep!
Night Venice!
*hugs*
Skyril - I read it and left you a comment on it :D
Aw, good-night, Venice!
~hugs~
~waves madly~
Ah, thanks again, Thalia :] I'm glad you liked them.
You are an amazing poet, Skyril!
*hugs*
LOL
~imagines Venice dancing like that~
This is an awesome song, by the way!
Bye venice! *hugs*
I dance more like an gravely injured hippopotamus. :)
Thanks, Thalia :]
~hugs Thalia~
lol, Lego, probably pretty much the same for me :P
I was a ballerina when I was, like... 5... but I was terrible at it and hated it :P
I still was in 2 or 3 recitals, though... I loved watching the CanCan after my... act? was over. I mean, I didn't do it by myself, of course. There were several other girls... I don't remember anyone of them, though. Come to think of it, I never made friends at all... And I came as late and left as soon as possible xD
I was anti-social back then too!
which is why I don't go to parties. That, and small talk.
LOL Skyril
I did ballet from when I was 2 to when I was 7. It sucked. I quit it and started doing jazz and hip hop, but I dropped hip hop because the teacher was never actually there, and I quit jazz because the lady who ran the studio just hated me. So. No more dance for Thalia. Which is good, 'cause I sucked at it anyway xD
That's still awesome, Thalia, that you took those classes :D
I used to take ballet when I was little...but I got tired of having to dance all the time. XD
Aw
~drops and anvil on Kallista's internet~
Welcome back! :]
~hugs~
*hugs Kallista forever*
I'm glad you liked the poem, and thank you for your kind comment.
@Lego
I never like it either, but my mom made me go for two years or so. But then we were having money troubles, and she said, well, you don't like going anyway. So I stopped ballet :P
Hello?
HI GUYS!
hi bb!
Hi Tessa!
*hugs*
How're you?
I do the Safety Dance now :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7movKfyTBII&ob=av3e
*stops time so that she can hug kallista*
I'm fine, thanks!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Ahem.
Anyway, I used to take ballet as well! But the consequence of stopping and to jog, like, everyday, is that my calves have grown oversized. -.-
LOL, Kallista!
Wow! You're such an amazing dancer if you dance like that! :o You should become famous and teach your dance style to the nations of the world!
BB!
Hullo! :D
~glomps~
My calves are oversized because of double chocolate cupcakes! :D
SKYRILLLLL!!!!!!! *glomps*
HI!!!!!!
KAL! *is pulled to dance*

*pours it into a huge jug of coke*
I think I posted this link on the chat earlier...I can't remember. But this is one of my favorite songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFU2l0EHmmE

yeap, kal you can.
LEGO! I CAN PIGGY BACK YOU!
*piggy backs lego to the top of the world*
LOL, KALLISTA XD
I laughed sooo hard during that video!!
So hard that I interrupted my parents and their movie in the next room, and they asked me what was so funny xD LOL
LOL KAL
YAY! *wonders if bb can take her to an alternate universe*
*pokes Tessa*
Can I have a piggy back ride~?
*piggy backs Thalia to the top of mount everest*
I think it's a good idea to put them in a post! :D
It's too bad you couldn't find the other one, though :/
Youtube isn't working for me right now :/ I really wanted to watch that clip, though.
Yaaay~
*laughs from the top of the mountain*
*laugh echoes for miles*
Aww
~whacks Thalia's youtube with a rhino~
*coughs violently*
Ow.
*gives Tessa some cough medicine*
You OK?
*rhino squeals in pain*
*is given cough medicine* I'm okay, thanks. I just haven't drunk water the whole morning.
*runs from Kallista with inhuman speed*
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
~gives the rhino some Yorkshire pudding~
Um, sorry...
I'll use my frying pan next time
Meh, I just realised why my peanut butter sandwich was so crunchy. iT'S BECAUSE THERE WERE ANTS IN IT. MEH. I'M NOT EATING IT ANYMORE.
On the other hand, ants are actually more nutritious than meat......
*frying pan squeals with fear*
*water rushes past my ear*
*splashes Skyril full in the face*
REG
"Because sometimes, dogs just like to sit on cats."
LOL. I don't actually believe those quizzes, Kal. Oh, and did you see what I posted on your wall?
LOL Kallista
*goes to a corner and emos*
Derek probably won't be coming to Singapore....... T.T
"It's OK. Sometimes, we all just want to eat a butterfly." - My friend Echo.
I'M BUTTERFLIES! HOW DARE SHE SAY THAT!?
Anyway.
*hugs Tessa*
He probably won't be coming to America, either :(
LOL Tessa.
It was for a script for some parody movie we were making. The character who said it was completely and utterly insane and brainwashed.
lol.
LOL KAL.
*hugs Kal*
:D
LOL, Kal :P
~hugs~
*is given a noogie*
*gives it back* ^^
sorry, was distracted. And then my dad was completely naked and screaming at me to get the tweezers out of the first aid kit, so I decided that i should probably pay some attention to that...
anyways! *hugs and blow up kisses for everyone!*
~raises eyebrows~
Um...
~decides not to ask~
*raises eyebrows*
Well.....
Uh. OK then.
*glues Kallista back together*
:P
*puts everyone's eyebrows down to a normal level*
*saves Kal*
*blows up in her place*
he had a splinter in his foot...and he was going to bed...and he couldn't find the tweezers...fine, my family is completely crazy. You didn't guess?
He sleeps naked?
O.o
o.O
THIS IS SO DAMNED COOL.
http://www.damnlol.com/photoshop-youre-doing-it-right-part-2-5275.html
LOL, BB
That's so CREEPY!
Epica TOO!
LOL, Kallista xD
Um, yes, I think it's a tad odd. :P
I think it's a bit odd to go around anywhere naked unless it's the shower :P
@skyril-um...yeah?
I couldn't go around my house naked, even if I wanted too :P There are huge windows everywhere. It would be awkward~
I wouldn't..... I'd close my windows. Even so, I'm forced to sleep in the same room as my bros, so..... no thanks.
:D I didn't photoshop them. :D
*is not the producer and proud of it*
Is it just me or is my browser loading faster?
I want the elephant koala :P
I don't go around naked a lot...but in my bra and underwear? All the time...I guess it's from being alone/just with my brother a lot.
I have to go now guys! I'm sorry! Bye!
*vanishes in a flurry of shadows*
bye bb! *hugs*
Bye Tessa!
*hugs*
Aw, farewell, BB!
~hugs~
~waves madly~
*lurks*
LIZZY!

Just whenever you get a chance, of course :P
Oo, a party! Did you enjoy it? Did you dance? Did you shoot anyone with the Pink?
I'm pretty good, Lizzy! Thanks for asking. I finally dried off, and I got Youtube working, so I'm listening to Hetalia music :P
Was the party fun?
*hopes that lizzy did both simultaneously*
*eyeballs Skyril* Why would i shoot someone...? The party wasn't THAT bad.
There was a girl there that knew what Hetalia was ^^ it was pretty cool to talk to her and her friend
LOL I don't know :P
Perhaps you didn't like them or something :P
Naw, they were ok. Kinda boring though after a while, they kept talking about an anime i hadn't watched
LOL
~pokes the two of them~
POKE POKE
Ouch! Did it hurt, Kal?
Oi *pokes Kal* A little faith please?
last time I went to a party, I brought a book so I could read in the bathroom the whole time. That was one of the more enjoyable parties I've been to since I was 12. XD
lol...that sounded more antisocial than I intended...
LOL, Lego :P
LOL, don't worry, I'm the same. I bring my work with me. draft book, sketch book, pencils, all that. I sometimes get a lot of work done ^^
I g2g now! G'night all!
*hugs everyone*
*dashes off*
