First Competition Ends!

Wanna know what I did on my birthday? Do ya? Wanna know what craziness I got up to? Well, first, right, what I did was I started clearing out my office, yeah? But that was only the beginning. Then I started clearing out the kitchen. Then I got bored and played a video game. Then I went back to clearing more stuff. Then I checked the Blog. Then I cleared another room. Then I went to my parents' house for dinner, and it was yummy. Then I came home and my electricity went off. Yay!

Ahem.

Although the day BEFORE that I got to see all my nieces in their Halloween costumes (because I won't be seeing them at Halloween). Rebecca was dressed as a witch. Emily was a bumblebee. Sophie was a pig. And Clara... Clara was a skeleton, because she KNOWS who's going to be giving her the best presents when she's older. When I have pictures, I'll be sure to post them.

And what did I GET for my birthday, you ask? Well... um... okay, see, when I say it aloud, it doesn't sound that impressive, but basically I got some photographs in nice frames...

God that sounds boring.

But I really am the WORST person to buy for, as Laura was complaining to me last night. Everything I want, I pretty much have already- so what is there left to get me except really odd things that I'd never think of? See?

But some of you guys here, and at the Forum and the Facebook page, did all the celebrating for me, which was really nice of you. In particular, I'm thinking of Valkyrie V, who actually had a party with a CAKE. And Val V, I hope you don't mind, but I just HAD to post a pic of it.



I'm not really sure what Polar Bear Girl has to do with Skulduggery, but I like her style nonetheless. These guys really went out of their way to celebrate poor old Skulduggery's deathday, and they are all astonishingly sloppy eaters...


And in other news...

The Ameriminions competition is now over! I have been HUGELY impressed with your entries. They have been cool, atmospheric, creepy, action-packed, sinister, and funny- sometimes all at once! Now I have the quite enjoyable job of going through them all and picking the line that is best suited to the story I want to tell.

A HUGE congratulations to everyone who entered.

Unapplicable. said...

Val? Hello if you are here!

Star Inkbright said...

Do i?

Cool:)

Unapplicable. said...

Do you what?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

It would make more sense if my comments would stop disappearing.

Star Inkbright said...

Look a lot like val's sort of step sister Kate. (Her comment disappeared)

Unapplicable. said...

Euf. I have to go now... bye!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh, how ironic.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye!

Star Inkbright said...

May the fours be with you cal!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I think I have to go too... bye Star! *waves*

Star Inkbright said...

May the fours be with you val!

Eve the ROCK said...

Don't push me cuz I'm close to the edge!

I'm tryin not to lose ma head!

Journey To Emmaus is actually fun. XD

Eve the ROCK said...

I have to go to the dentist soon...NOOOOOOOO....

Eve the ROCK said...

Gtg

Luciana said...

Passing comment:
STAR YOU'RE GORGEOUS, ACCEPT IT!

LYNX, YOU'RE MAJORLY PRETTY, TOO.

Now, no arguing, because L is right. *nods*.

Nixion Strange said...

Yellow?

Nixion Strange said...

brb

Nixion Strange said...

since nobody's here, i'd be going now. BBL

Luciana said...

Bye, Nix! *waves*

I have graduation today...*groans*. I hate graduation, it's so boringgg.

Bye, guys! Have great days! XD

Eve the ROCK said...

Ugh...I hate the dentist...

Nixion Strange said...

Dentist!
Hi

Eve the ROCK said...

Dentist!
Hi Nix!

Nixion Strange said...

How you'd been doing?

Eve the ROCK said...

Id been doing good, except for the part where two people in masks started sticking things in my mouth and telling me open my mouth wider than humanly possible.

Eve the ROCK said...

How about you?

Nixion Strange said...

Did you try chewing the things? If it was a finger, they'd stop. If it was something metalish, you'd probably break a tooth

Nixion Strange said...

Well, i sat through a 2 hours mass on a uncomfortable chair, wasted money on a fair, then went back to the chair to watch a talent quest, which deserves its own comment

Eve the ROCK said...

I wouldve, but they said I wasn't allowed to eat for half an hour...

Quest doesn't rhyme with chair or fair. You should've been in the talent thing anyway. I'm sure you have talent besides writing. Maybe rambling.

Nixion Strange said...

Haven't i told you i can't speak in front of crowds? This was over two thousand people

hang on, it still deserves it it's own comment, i'll write it up

Nixion Strange said...

Well, you know how i said i bet that someone would sing 1D? Well, none of the students did. Unfortunatly, the teachers decided to chip in at the start
They didn't sing it, just played to song. Then 5 of the teachers, dressed up as the people in 1D started to do the worst dancing every seen. One of them was the principal, who's got to be pushing 55. Just sad...

Anywho, it got better from there. There was this girl who could damn well sing, two guys in my year level who could dance, but they ruined it by trying and failing to break dance at the end (they had a song playing for a small part of the dance. Starships were meant to flyyyy. Thought you get a kick out of that). There were a couple of bands who weren't to bad, but a few singers who couldn't be heard. Whispering singers. And a "meh" funny performance. Meh meaning it was worth a couple of laughs. And they had K-Star at the end, which is always worth watching. You know K-Star, that dance group a few years back on Australia's Got Talent? They should've got in. Anywho, a lot of them go to my school, and they dance at the end. K-Srat weren't as good as they were last year, but better then all the other performances. But it was so damn hot and crowded that i was to sick of it by the end to care

Eve the ROCK said...

Ah, okay. You haven't told me.

You know, I just discovered I have the occasional stutter today. I don't like it. It kicks in whenever I say something that is just so purely awesome and witty it must be executed perfectly and cannot be repeated. Poor me.

Nixion Strange said...

Poor you? I have a lisp and very bad stage fright
Poor us

Eve the ROCK said...

Sounds like fun! There better had been rappers. *waves fist threateningly*

Yay! Starships, were meant to flyyyyyy!
Hands up! And touch the skyyyyyy!

K-Star. Sounds familiar. VERY familiar. Hmmmm...

Anywho, I wish I was there. Hope my classmates have talent.

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh. Then yes, poor us.

Nixion Strange said...

On the first performance in Australia's got Talent they wore red with white gloves

On no rappers. Though the people in my year level dancing danced to so many songs that it's possible that one of them was a rap, i don't remember

Zathract Mist said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C6CdbTKuzQ&feature=related

Skillet and Eminem mashup!
...Eminem should have been louder though. Stupid editor...

...

Eve, please give me a good Eminem song...

Nixion Strange said...

watch it soon Mist, I'm watching flash mobs at the moment

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, and Hi Mist

Zathract Mist said...

Hi...

Eve the ROCK said...

They're all good, Mist. XD

Hmmm...When I'm Gone was sad, Crack A Bottle is fun, hmmm... Not Afraid is great.

I like this song, but the lighting is spectacular

Eve the ROCK said...

Love The Way You Lie

Love The Way You Lie p2 has Eminem featuring

Guilty Concience

Oh, btw, these songs are quite inappropriate.

Nixion Strange said...

The lighting is not done by computer screens or anything. Would you believe it's just normal lighting you would get in any show?

Eve the ROCK said...

The Real Slim Shady


Saw that, Nix. I know it's spectacular

Nixion Strange said...

any songs i would like? I'm not a fan of those for some reason

Eve the ROCK said...

So Bad

Can't watch links you give me. Doesn't work for some reason

Eve the ROCK said...

Depends. What do you like?

Nixion Strange said...

uh... I'm sort of something that sounds good to me person. Just give me things, but not like that

Nixion Strange said...

brb

Eve the ROCK said...

Not like what? Rapping?

These aren't just talking, you know. It's got singin too, and actual tune.

Eve the ROCK said...

I Need A Doctor

Lighters

Eve the ROCK said...

"Kim" really freaked me out when I first listened to it. It's kind of...

Eve the ROCK said...

MockingBird

Nixion Strange said...

happy songs. I like things with a nice beat that aren't depressing

Nixion Strange said...

starships were meant to fly. I'm listening to that for the moment

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh.

Nix:
Call Me Maybe
Starships
We Are Young is weirdly awesome


Ooh! 6 foot 7 foot! By Lil Wayne!

Zathract Mist said...

I've downloaded Love The Way You Lie.

*sighs*

Addicted to Eminem...well, it could be worse. *grins and begins to download more of the songs Eve is listing*

Eve the ROCK said...

Dinner bye!

^I hope those were enough songs, Mist.^ :D

Bye!

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Eve

*STARTS SCREAMING AND RIPS OUT THE THROAT OF A F*CKING VAMPIRE*

Nixion Strange said...

Are you angry, or do you just not like vampires?

Zathract Mist said...

THE FORMER.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hellow

Zathract Mist said...

FINE!

Zathract Mist said...

HI, VAL.

Nixion Strange said...

What?

Hi Eve

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Valereno, wherever you are.

Zathract Mist said...

HI EVE.

Zathract Mist said...

...WHY AM I FIRST? ARGH!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

HI PEOPLE

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Nix!

Hi Mist! Whats with all the boldness? Your words need to grow some hair.

Ahahahahaha.

It's funny because it's really not.

Zathract Mist said...

*puts the dedication rights on the ground*

*isn't raging anymore*

Well, that was weird...

Nixion Strange said...

Hi invisible Val

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Eve, that isn't even funny, but it still got me to laugh...

Eve the ROCK said...

Of course it did. That's what terrible jokes do to you.

That didn't make any dollars. Or, cents!

Ahahahahahaha....

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hey Mist, will you be posting chapter six anytime soon...?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Anyone?

Nixion Strange said...

maybe

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Can you give me a more straightforward answer?

Nixion Strange said...

okay people. What would you like me to write next? Can't be WTB or HG. I've got the HP fan-fic you've seen the prologue of, and a new one. I've also got stolen, or you can give me an idea

Nixion Strange said...

I'm not Mist, I wouldn't know when things are happening

Zathract Mist said...

Uh...
Straight answer?

No. No it won't be posted any time soon...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Write something with Ivy in it.

Zathract Mist said...

2222nd

Nixion Strange said...

Ivy is hard to get right...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

It won't? Dang it. I need something to read...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

She's insane and she makes funny comments. Just pretend you're writing about me, unless that makes it harder.

Zathract Mist said...

Read Nix and Mist. Ch. 9 went up a few hours ago.

Eve the ROCK said...

Gonna watch Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows as soon as mum gets off the phone.

YAY!!!!!

Nixion Strange said...

Uh, i wanna see Avengers!

Eve the ROCK said...

YES YOU DO!!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Valereno!

Eve the ROCK said...

*is in movie menu*

Agh! I love the music!

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Val...?

Eve the ROCK said...

Yep, three in the morning for Val

Eve the ROCK said...

Watching now!

EXTREMELY distant!!!

Nixion Strange said...

Still don't know what to write. I tried Ivy, and failed...

Eve the ROCK said...

What about ME?

Zathract Mist said...

*sighs*

Why-?

...Must go. Bye.

Nixion Strange said...

You? You want me to write something with you?

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Mist

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Mist

Why not?

Nixion Strange said...

Okay. Give me an OC and i'll see if i can give it a go

Zathract Mist said...

What about ME?

(Back, distant)

Nixion Strange said...

You... you want to be in it to?

Zathract Mist said...

Why not...?

You...uh...dont have to, of course...

Nixion Strange said...

Fine. If i do this it may as well be big

Zathract Mist said...

What's it about?

Nixion Strange said...

no idea yet

Nixion Strange said...

I'm thinking of having a lot of people, so i'll hate to wait until i can get their characters

But i need an idea for now...

Eve the ROCK said...

Taken name: Astrid Vanilla

Given Name: Eve (very much preferred. She only took a name to protect herself from evil civilianaliciouses.)

Magic: Adept

She can make everyone see her as their worst fear, like an illusion. When she decides to transform her appearance ( just an illusion) one person might see her as a spider, if that's their worst fear, another might see her as a snake, another might see her as a dementor, boggart boggart boggart. You know what I'm talking about, right?

Weapons: Her sharp teeth and sharp nails. She likes to call them fangs and claws, and this results in chronic eye-rolling for everyone within a ten metre radius. If, for some reason, she cannot use her primary weapons, she will resort to the meagre millions of weapons stashed in her hair. It's awesome.

Personality: Eve never takes things seriously. She never thinks about the possibility of death, and everything she does is for the hell of it. She finds arguments extremely funny to watch, but if someone who is wrong thinks they are right, she will not stop until that poor mind is changed. If she finds herself in a situation where she is wrong, she will string some words together and act like they make sense. She doesn't pay attention to conversations that don't involve her, and that seems to annoy some people. Yes, some would say she was slightly 'absent'. She knows this and loves to confuse new acquaintances with her nonsense.

Appearance:  Light brown hair ending at the shoulders, blue eyes. Reasonably tall. Yeah.

History: *royal trumpet* Eve doesnt say much about her history. Here's what we know:

She used to live in a happy family of five and a dog, then she suddenly got shot through a crazy mazy cannon all the way to Kenya. She lived with the lions, lived ON an elephant, then gave up on the whole land thing and hopped on a giant vulture called Mimi. And off to Australia they went! She migrates from place to place now, helping people out on their adventures and shouting at kids who can't spell 'humongous'.

Or so she says.

She also claims to be a werewolf.

Nixion Strange said...

Thanks Eve

Eve the ROCK said...

No problem. I changed the personality bit, because obviously my character is going to be a teeensy bit different to me. Or maybe not. I don't know.

Hi Mist!

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, I know what i'll do for know. name a book and i'll give you all the OCs i made for that book. Don't do SP cause I use some of them for stories

Name a book!

Nixion Strange said...

*now

Nixion Strange said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Nixion Strange said...

Another book!

Eve the ROCK said...

Nixion Strange said...

There you go! I made one for that
Give me a sec

Eve the ROCK said...

Nixion Strange said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Nixion Strange said...

Zathract Mist said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Nixion Strange said...

Zathract Mist said...

Eve the ROCK said...

HULLABALOO!

Nixion Strange said...

Eve the ROCK said...

*starts crying*

Nixion Strange said...

i'll give you the OC eitehr later tonight or tomorrow
Bye!

Zathract Mist said...

*screams and hides under a blanket*

*has done this irl*

I swear...I just...saw something move...

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Nix!

Zathract Mist said...

Bye Nix. *shivers and looks around cautiously*

Eve, what happened?

Eve the ROCK said...

I scream, you scream, because the world is freaky.

Plenty of things move, Mist. Last night something tapped me on the head. It didn't feel too friendly.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hm? Nothing. Nix shouted an insult.

Zathract Mist said...

Oh, right.

*is still convinced something is in the kitchen*

Eve the ROCK said...

Maybe it's one of those kitchen bats.

Zathract Mist said...

It was probably nothing.

...Probably.

Eve the ROCK said...

Don't be so paranoid. That will only give you pointless nightmares. *gives Mist a teddy bear*

Zathract Mist said...

*clutches teddy bear*

Eve the ROCK said...

*nods and makes a clay walrus*

Zathract Mist said...

What happened to tissue walruses?

Zathract Mist said...

*hugs the teddy bear*

*laughs* This makes me feel so young again. :P

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, I don't make tissue walruses. I tell people to.

Eve the ROCK said...

I love teddy bears. Actually just Kelvin. He comforts me when he's not possessed.

Zathract Mist said...

I used to be un-separable from my teddy bear. He was named Tedy. With one d.

And then...I don't even know what happened, actually. One day I just stopped clinging to him. That was a weird day.

Eve the ROCK said...

They're always weird days.

Brb while I make a card for my little brother's birthday.

Which is tomorrow.

And it's 10:40.

*facepalm*

Zathract Mist said...

Okay. Say happy birthday to Ol' Fred for me. *laughs*

Zathract Mist said...

myuselessshortstories.blogspot.com.au

New story thing I posted.

*leaps onto iPod*

brb

Eve the ROCK said...

No. "Fred" is my big brother. My little brother is Shaun.

You're going to have to remember this.

So how about I say Happy Birthday twice with no further explanation? He doesn't know you, obviously, and he gets weirded out when my friends talk to him.

Eve the ROCK said...

I will read that tomorrow, I foot swear. Im far too tired to read more than a paragraph at once right now....

Nixion Strange said...

Hello my people!

Eve the ROCK said...

Helloooooooo Nix!

Nixion Strange said...

Hello Eve, and come on down. You are on... The Price is Right!

Eve the ROCK said...

Brb and msd from then, okay? Okay.

Eve the ROCK said...

The price is not right

Brb

Nixion Strange said...

Well Eve, since you're the one answering the questions, and if the price is not right, then you lose!

Nixion Strange said...

Hey, I just realised something! I'm no longer SP deprived! I feel like writing and reading it again!
If you read this Derek, maybe you're happy. Or maybe it means as much to you as cat hair, but I'm happy about it!

Zathract Mist said...

Sure, I don't mind. That's for my story and the happy birthday thing as well btw. Hi Nix. MSD due to internet and tiredness.

Nixion Strange said...

k Mist

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, and i just remembered several ideas I'd forgotten until now! That's good!

Nixion Strange said...

WB

Eve the ROCK said...

Yay Nix! But cat hair means a lot if it gets all over the funiture in his house.

Okay Mist.

Zathract Mist said...

Hi Val!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Val

Eve the ROCK said...

Head wedged between two blankets and a pillow, my fingers tapping rhythmically on the glowing screen of the iPod, I started to succumb to the welcoming embrace of oblivion.

I came up with that while half-asleep. That must mean something.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Valereno!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi Nix, hi Eve

Zathract Mist said...

You should sleep, Eve. That's what it means.

Eve the ROCK said...

No, it means I still manage to annoy everyone with paragraph comments while barely concious.

That's awesome.

Zathract Mist said...

Didn't annoy me. YOU FAILED!

Eve the ROCK said...

*carves a glare symbol into big brothers head* He wrote a really meaningful message in his card, AND he drew an amazing ironman. I basically just said happy birthday. That was maddening. But never fear. Just before I went to bed, I wrote on the back of the card -

Meaningful Message:

LA LA!!!




Came right from the heart.

Eve the ROCK said...

I've been failing at everything lately, according to you and Nix.

Eve the ROCK said...

Huh what?

Zathract Mist said...

Huh as in "what have I said that you're failing at?"
