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.

MR.LANDY! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!
eighth!
i can't belive it. i'm soooooooooooooooooo sorry! but better late than never, so: happy birthday from Germany!!
that happens when you are in holiday and forget the time. i always do -_-
That cake looks soo good!!!
I can't wait to see who won the competition!!!
=D
Derek you are the best. I can't get over your books I have them on my kindle so i read them over and over again all the time :DDD your are so amazing!
can't wait to see who wins ^^
*note to self - celebrate skul's deathday next year*
I wonder if Primark sell red leather gloves....
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...
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.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOLDEN GOD OF ALL!!! hope you had a wonderful day :D :D :D
Also, congratulations to all those Amerimions who entered!
Ever though about an Aussiminion competition Mr Landy? *hinthint* :P
GOOO AMERIMINIONS!!! (hehe...)

Who should be who in skulduggery movie in my opinion (For all the books)
Skulduggery - Johnny Depp
Valkyrie - Whoever Derek Landy deems fit in auditions
Tanith - Amanda Seyfried, Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Michalka or Teresa Palmer
Ghastly - Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, maybe Vin Diesel or Michael Chiklis
Clarabelle - Evanna Lynch or maybe Janet Devlin
Kenspeckle Grouse - David McCallum
Melancholia - Dakota Fanning
Dexter Vex - Robert Downey Jr or Patrick Dempsey
That is all i have so far but it took me like to hours to find out there names !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol :D x

Im glad u both like my cast !!!!
LOL, Cass, you use a lot of exclamation marks :P
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...
Happy belated birthday Derek!
Lol Sky, i think im addicted to putting them after every post lol !!!!!!!!!!! :P
Hey Cassy, Skyril!
Hey Angel !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Hey! What are you doing at Halloween?
Hiya, Angel!
Good idea, Cass! We should definitely plan on planning an epic gift for Derek next year. :D
Aw, okie-doke! See you later!
Gonna go out with my friends!!!!! don't care if i will be 13 by then !!!!! lol !!!!
Me? Well, I don't go trick-or-treating so I'll probably bake something... mayebe brownies... and at night my mom and dad will force me outside to make me knock on the door and mutter "trick-or-treat" to them so they can give me candy... then I'll probably watch a funny movie.
~Nods~
Halloween traditions :P
lol, Cassy!
Have fun!
~throws purple confetti at her~
Happy belated Birthday Mr. Landy!
Why, is your birthday at Halloween or before?
Im gonna go trick-or-treatin with my friends!!!!! don't care if i will be 13 by then !!!!! my birthday is exactly a week after dereks !!!! :D !!!!
Ah, I've got to go now too.
Farewell!
Hope to see you guys later!
~Hugs~
~waves madly~
~dashes off~
Bye skyril !!!! *hugs* my birthday is day before halloween !!!! thanks for the confetti !!! :D
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.
See you Skyril! I´ve got things to do too. Sorry, gotta go now. See you guys later!
try amazon or maybe the skulduggery website !!!!! :D
u could buy the e book !!!!!!!!!!11

Awesome Derek! It sounds like you had an awesome day. It's really cool that Valkyrie V had a party for you! My family get me really odd things too. For last Christmas, my uncle got me a wooden hand.
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!"
Yeah.
3:45
Over hier its 9;58 pm
*pokes head out*
I just have to say- I didn't know the compass didn't work. It was the corn gods.
i tried to get a job at a corn maze but they decided they didn't want such awesomeness and instead gave me a $3 dollar discount on one ticket
i was like "whatever. the only way you were going to get me there was if i was paid to come"
Well when i said 8:45 i meant 8:45 pm
I got ur email ther Taft was revealed in paragraph three...
Want me to send it on?
