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.

    OMG I want to win!!!! I didn't know it was your birthday... :(.... I should have... Sob, sob.... celebrated.... sob.... Who won???!!! I put up an opening sentence, but I couldn't find my own post afterwards, and that's truly sad, so I'm not even sure that I entered... sob...

    ReplyDelete
  11. BrynOctober 24, 2011 at 1:02 PM

    Wow, that post worked and i realized i was right, I DIDN'T enter. WAHH!!!! Sobsobsobsobsobsob.... damn, I'm so depressed..... my life is worthless... I'm DEAD.... I'm so damn sad.... Wah! Oh well, in case your wondering, I posted a couple of opening sentences, they went like this...

    "Finally, we're back to where we started, Miss Low... please tell me that's ketchup on your sword..."

    The woman stood above the rest of the city, it was lively and colorful, with joy and pollution, like all the other cities she'd visited: but she'd give the mortals something to fear.

    Sigh... oh, well. Suppose it's too late now. All hail Derek Landy! Thou is the birthday boy! (or... birthday man?) I wish you could have used this in your wonder story, indeed, My God, but such is not the case because I am an idiot. Well, I know it's a little bit late, but could you consider using one of my opening sentences??? Please??? No??? I shall weep until you agree.

    Hey, Derek. Happy days you´re "celebrating"... That picture looks AWESOME. And your birthday presents are...um...awesome... Maybe the rest of us can think next time of something better... I bet we´ll find something... Maybe a skirt! I bet you don´t have that and you´d never buy one for you! (Mortal Coil: "See? That´s a thoughtful gift! You haven´t needed a hairbrush in hundreds of years, but now you do! Sometimes anyway.") I wont celebrate Halloween. Just bake stuff and watch my cat. But, Derek, why is your niece Sophie a PIG? What´s a pig doing at HALLOWEEN? However, competition is over, gotta call my Amerifriend and ask him what he did. I hope you enjoy yourself. Gotta go, phone is calling...

    Skyril, how old are you? My mum would get me to the psychologist if I´d go round and ask "Trick-or-Treat" and stuff. I stay home and do nothing. Maybe make my friend stop hyperventilating, but nothing else... Actually boring. Wait! I´ll read death bringer. Those idiots didn´t even bring the english version at germany. So I´ve got another task: To find out how I can get that damn book.

    In honor of your birthday yesterday, Mar, Mir, and myself got lost in a corn maze with a broken compass. Then we got out, got ice cream and popcorn, and threw popcorn into a river while shouting "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!"
