The Blog is Odd. It's started misbehaving, and I don't know why. I know my Minions have broken the internet before, but even I don't think this is (entirely) your fault. I will ask my publishers to look into it on Monday.
In other news, Molly, your tale of woe concerning the author you have to have brunch with had me laughing. I can't wait to find out how the story ends.
In yet other news, I watched the final Sherlock tonight. Much better than last week's, thank God. A relentless plunge into second-guesses and secret plans. Liked it a LOT.
And in even MORE other news, five minutes ago I crossed the 20,000 word mark on Book 7. I don't think I've ever written this fast before. Looks like I'll have it done on time after all...
And to top it all off, here is some religious humour...
... some existential humour...
... and some cat humour...

hi val
Oh, hi Flame! I might respond slow because I'm uploading pictures to my computer, which I'm going to post. Because they're awesome.
So, how are you?
good.. sorry im slow
im updating my blog
I'm updating mine, too.
Shadow sent me the most hurtful email.
I heard...
oooooooooooooh i am gonna kill her
Well, um, I shouldn't be around when that happens...
*suddenly remembers a song and starts laughing* My friends made a parody of that song, with Val, Caelan, and Fletcher...
what song?
One from a musical we did last year. It's supposed to be, "There's a fork in the road, a branch in the river! A fork in the road, which way do we go? A fork in the road, now what can we do? Better take the fork in the road!", but my friends said, "There's an arm in the road, Fletcher's in the river! An arm in the road, which way do they go? An arm in the road..." I can't remember that other part. But it had to do with Caelan kidnapping Valkyrie and killing Fletcher or something...
Lol... the story is on my blog, please comment!
Okay, I will once these pictures have uploaded!
kk, did shadow actually say why she was so pissed?
BOO
HELLO ROBIN.
well, hey there Val
*screams super loud* I GOT MY BOOKS!
haha, *climbs tree* *hums~ hey there deliah*
Haha hallelujah!
Heyyyyy Guys!!!
HI RIM! LONG TIME NO SEE! *hugs*
hey Rim
*hugs* it's been a month or two!!!
HELLO RIM!
I don't think you're ever this happy Val
I GOT MY FREAKING BOOKS; OF COURSE I'M HAPPY. *twitches*
Do the American ones have fewer words?? Or are they the same as uk ones???
*looks nervously at Val.* Right
val is a bit crazy tonight *clicks fingers and camouflage appears around him*
just in case
I think they're a little different... I've checked... *clutches books tightly*
That's not fair I don't have a camouflage..,
I'm just going to blend in ike a ninja *does a show of becoming statue*
*is a ninja already* *looks at SP watch that came with books* Ha, I love to check the time now! *stares at watch*
Oh ok... I think Vals calmed down un poco... I hope
Sorry, I just start speaking titbits of Spanish, I can't help it!
*screeches* I HAVE CALMED DOWN EVERYONE! I AM COMPLETELY SANE! SEE? *pulls out sword and starts swinging randomly*
*jumps out the way and draws own sword*
*sees Robin's sword* *screams* NO! DON'T GET ANY CLOSER! *clings onto books* STAY AWAY!!!
*lowers sword and steps back*
Val, listen to me Val, calm down
*stays in corner*
Do you really think she'll calm down??? She's got an SP watch for bagel sake!!!
*looks at 17 SP books lovingly*
*gives Rim evil look meaning: shut. up.* Yes, I do
17 books Val?
Ok then!!!
I wouldn't calm down for 2 days when I won a mockingjay pin!!! (Hunger Games related))
I have more than that. I have 18, but someone hasn't given it back yet (*glares at them*), and I have the signed copy of Death Bringer still on its way...
SO I'LL HAVE 19 SKULDUGGERY BOOKS. *is quite clearly obsessed*
I. want. a. mockingjay. pin.
19 *sigh* the newest versions have short stories in them so I'm told but I refuse to buy the entire book again.
The short stories are hilarious. Geoffrey almost gets eaten by a shark and when he screams Skulduggery says, "Geoffrey, please. I can't hear what she's saying." He put the phone to his ear. "Carry on."
Any of you guys heard of Wild At Heart??? It's a tv programme set in Africa??
Nope. I don't have cable, so I don't see many shows.
Have you guys heard of the show 'Finding Bigfoot' or whatever?
ive read the short d=stories they are hilarous
Nope never heard of it sorry... I G2G! be on tomorrow probably!
Bye Rim!
(Only reason I asked is because the I know the lady in the show. She was at my birthday and everything.)
Bye Rim

Bye robin.
Bye robin.
Bye robin.

I dedictae this page to Derek.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BOOKS, THE WATCH, AND THE POSTCARD! THEY ARE SO COOL!
1st
i have gotta go! bye valkyrie
Bye Flame
So lonely...
So very, very lonely...
SPARKY, GET ON HERE. NOW.
It feels like AGES since I’ve been on. Eons, even.
School tomorrow! Yeah! In the monstrous downpour of rain… yeah…
So, how’s it hangin’? (By ‘hangin’’ I mean your sitting-and-staring-at-a-computer-screen life. Is it fun? I hope so. Things are better when they’re fun.)
My sitting-and-staring-at-a-computer-screen life feels like I'm sitting and staring at a computer screen. As for my life aside from that, I'm staring intently at 5 signed Skulduggery books that came in the mail yesterday.
I saw them. In all of their awesomeness. And the watch, oh, the watch! Very, very nice! I bought a set of the new covered books and the Dark Days says ‘New Short Story Inside’, but really, there is no short story.
*Sits in the corner crying*
Uh... Dark days doesn't say it has a short story... All the other ones do though...
And I had no clue this watch glowed in the dark until you asked. Thanks for asking that.
*closes curtains because Polar Bear Girl insists she's out there with Caelan, watching me*
Hello?
Hmm...
SOMEONE COME ON HERE BEFORE I EAT YOUR SOULS!!!
Hey Derek, Amanda's mumzy is reading Skulduggery too. And if she's talking to me she addresses me as 'Valkyrie Cain'. It's awesome. And she mentioned how she liked when Skulduggery had to wear a pink hospital gown. She thought it was hilarious.
Gotta go till Tuesday, bye!
Anyone?
*places head against wall gently*
Today. Sucked.
I am going to write now.
Wait...
Val gets back on Tuesday.
*filters info through head*
Which means she'll be back on Wednesday.
*processes that info*
I go back to school on Wednesday.
Sh*t.
BrB.
Comment 2222.
I'm going.
*trudges back in*
NOTE TO MY BROTHER:
If you're going to loan someone our copy of 'The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time' to a friend, DO NOT LET THEM ERASE MY SAVE FILE.
*is really, really, REALLY angry*
I'd almost finished...
1st
Damn. Uh, I'm not here. I might be on later, I just got home from school. Bye
EVE!?
Fudge.
Hello?
I ONLY HAVE FORTY MORE MINUTES!!!!!!!
Aw. I just looked at the list of Coke names. And I'm not one of them. :(
Sparky? Are you here?
EVE!!!
*tackles*
Anyone?
*gets tackled* Sparky! It's bben terrible. School is horrible!
*waves arms around*
OH NO!!!
I'VE BECOME WHAT I HATE THE MOST!
CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!
.....What?
Oh.
I still have one more day of holidays.
Yeah. (grudgingly) Are you enjoying it?
Not particularly.
I was walking an awful lot today, and I was thinking about two stories at once, so I'd be jumping from one set of characters to another...
Basically my feet hurt and my head hurts, but I've written some stuff down now, so my head hurts a bit less.
I should stop complaining.
Eve?
Nonsense. Complaining is very healthy.
Cool. The story part, I mean.
I've also been thinking about a story. I have all the characters, all the names, and the story, but I just can't bring myself to start writing for some reason. I think I'm afraid that if I do start writing or talking about my idea, it will seem stupid and I'll scrap it.
But anyway.
I basically spent my day putting school books in plastic jackets. I don't know why we do that.
Sorry. There was a big knot in my hair.
Okay.
Wanna read the beginning of the new story? I'm not sure if I'll keep writing it, but it's a short story and it has NOTHING TO DO WITH SP.
Like, the plot.
Why the capitals? Echo wasn't anything to do with Skulduggery Pleasant either. I'd love to read it.
...
*is thinking at top speed*
K, here's the new story...
Mm?
Kay.
Two bullets bored themselves into the zombie’s chest. Hayley Skirmish grinned as it fell to the ground. She frowned when it stood up again.
‘Sparky! Hurry up!’ She yelled. Sparky Braginski was standing behind her, flicking frantically through her copy of the ‘Necronomicon’.
‘Shoot them.’ Sparky replied, head down.
‘Not working Einstein! They just get back up again!’ Hayley said, backing away from the large group of zombies. Sparky looked up.
‘Got it!’ She said, and then read something from the book. Nothing happened.
‘Sparky?’
‘Yes?’
‘I don’t think that achieved anything.’ Hayley said.
‘Actually it did.’
‘And what’s that then?’
‘It means that these aren’t necromantic zombies. Which means that this isn’t going to help us.’ Sparky explained, chucking the book into the pile of zombies. She then pulled a notebook out of her backpack and started flicking through that.
‘We haven’t got enough time for this Sparky! Remember, zombies?’ Hayley exclaimed. Sparky looked up and said ‘Don’t touch them. Don’t touch their blood especially. That’d be bad.’
‘Why?’ Hayley asked, backing up further, eventually lining up with Sparky.
‘Because they’re rage-virus zombies. Highly communicable.’ Sparky looked at Hayley.
‘Which means that, besides your gun, you aren’t much help here.’ Sparky continued. Hayley rolled her eyes and looked behind them. They were in central London, and the only people around were zombies. They were backing into the side of a building, and there wasn’t very much space left for them to, well, not be eating. Sparky looked up and signalled for Hayley to jump.
‘Ready.’ Hayley said. Sparky kneeled and slammed her fist into the ground. Hayley flipped into the air, avoiding the shockwave that blasted out from under Sparky’s fist. The zombies flew backwards and Hayley grabbed Sparky around her waist. She turned and ran up the wall. Sparky kept looking in the book.
‘What’s the plan?’ Hayley asked.
‘Plan? Well I’m not sure how you kill these things, whether they can be cured and, most importantly, why the hell they are managing to climb after us.’ Sparky said back. Hayley jumped onto the top of the building and looked down at the zombies climbing after them, a little fast for Hayley’s liking. She pulled out her Mark 23 and shot three rounds into the head of the nearest zombie. It fell and brought a bunch of other zombies with it.
‘Well, shooting them in the head seems to work, but the rest of my bullets are with my bike. So we need to get back down there and get it back. And then we could find someone and get help.’ Hayley said. Sparky looked at her.
‘Uh, Hayley? Small problem with that.’ She said.
‘Yes?’
‘Everyone’s dead.’ Sparky scowled. Hayley thought for a moment.
‘We could find a military base or something.’
‘We’re in Britain. We don’t know where that is, and there’s no one to ask.’
‘Well you think of something! You’re the smart one!’
‘Well, I have thought of something, but we need to get back to your bike.’ Sparky said. Hayley rolled her eyes.
‘I parked it three blocks that way.’ Hayley said, pointing. Sparky leaped onto Hayley’s back and Hayley ran from rooftop to rooftop. She stopped and Sparky hopped off.
‘Don’t you need my help to get down?’ Hayley asked. Sparky smiled.
‘There’s such thing as a staircase Hayley.’ She said, pointing at a door labelled ‘In Case Of Emergency’
‘That’s a good idea.’
‘What I’m here for.’ Sparky said, ramming her shoulder into the door. The door opened to pitch black. Sparky squinted at the roof and tapped the light. It flickered on and the two made their descent. They reached street level and exited the building. Sparky ran to the bike that was parked two metres away. She reached into Hayley’s bag, pulled out some bullets, tossed them at Hayley and kept digging. As Hayley reloaded her gun she checked to see if there were any zombies near by. She shot three in the head and came back to Sparky, who was holding her mobile phone.
‘No signal? What do you mean no signal?’ She yelled. Sparky shook it a bit and the held it up. The screen got one bar.
‘Yes!’ she was about to dial a number when Hayley pulled it out of her reach.
‘Who are you calling?’
‘Help! We need help, so I’m calling someone.’
‘But who can get here? We need someone who can kill things.’ Hayley scowled.
‘Yeah. That’s what she does. Now let me call her.’
‘But how can she get here!?’
‘Just give me the phone!’ Sparky cried. Hayley shrugged and gave her back the phone. Sparky dialled and held the phone up to her ear. Hayley heard half a conversation that finished with Sparky saying:
‘So you’ll come? Great! See you soon.’ Sparky hung up. Hayley scowled.
‘When I say help I mean real, phs-‘ Hayley was interrupted by a girl appearing in the middle of the street. She had pale skin, dark hair and indigo eyes.
‘Hello Sparky, you mentioned some sort of zombie invasion.’ She said.
‘Great to see you again Ivy. How have you been?’
‘Good. Who’s your friend?’ Ivy asked.
‘I’m Hayley. You can teleport? That’s pretty cool. But I don’t know how that really helps us kill zombies.’ Hayley said.
‘Well, I can also do most other things if you must know.’ Hayley jumped.
‘Did she just, how did she-‘
‘Ivy is telepathic. And most other things.’
Hahahaha. Wait, isn't Ivy Val's character?
I got Val's permission.
Why do you keep posting that?
Ah. Uh, the test thing is just so I can get to the newest comment. For some reason I have to post something to get to the newest.
That's annoying.
Ah. Why do I have to post something to get to the newest comment every time? :(
Cause things are stupid?
You like the story?
It is. So whenever I say something completely random, you know what's up.
KK.
I really do. I love reading funny little short stories about zombies. So pretty much everyone's dead?
I think the main reason I'm dreading school is that I won't be able to write.
And when I feel like writing, I get super distracted.
Like, MEGA, super distracted. So going from having the liberty to think and write as I please to having to concentrate on something isn't going to be good for me...
One time, we got an English assignment, write a short story that's either in a fantasy setting or a fairytale.
I wrote a fantasy story that incorporated fairytales and got an A+. Which was nice.
But, the point is, that we got the assignment in the first lesson of the day, so that's all I thought about until I could write when I got home.
Mm. That must be tough.
I'll manage.
I'll just have to carry a notebook everywhere.
Oh my god we never get to dO things like that. Uh, dinner. In a tube. Bye
Bye.
DINNER BYE!!!!
Anyone on?
Hello?
Wow. It's very empty here.
Shadow and Flane seem to be having problems.
I wish I could write.
Stupid iTouch.
If no one arrives by half-past, I'm out.
Not looking good here people.
No one at all?
Hmmm...
BYE!!!
I still can't believe I'm not a coke name
Anyone on?
Oh crud school sucks all over again. Except in RE. We have to bring something to school that defines us, or that we hold dear. I'm bringing in a Slulduggery Pleasant book! Heehee. Probably Death Bringer. Can't decide between that, Mortal Coil and the first book. *sighs* If only I could read ASIETTLOBA and TWAOGS. I have mentioned those short stories too much to say it all again. Please, Mr Landy! Have mercy on your loyal and faithful Australiminon! Skulduggery is like hot glue. It helps things stay together, and it's really thick, and you see it there, and your like, do I really need that much? And then you start picking at it, bit by bit, and it becomes a habit, but you sorely regret it later. Actually, Skulduggery Pleasant isn't a bit like hot glue. I'm just telling you why I only got a C for my art project. Just please, allow me to read the last two short stories, I don't really care how, I just want to read them! *begs some more*
*sighs*
If so many people want me fucking dead, why, why not just say so I can just leave instead of listening to bullshit skl day long.
I'm reowning rights to collab to sparky and then I shall be out of all of your hairs, for good.
*nods and looks around* Bye Blogland.

*is just curious*
Kinda hard. Real bad. Ups and downs. For weeks I didn't eat or sleep. It's horrible. Moving school and house and having to tell your sister when she was old enough.
Shadow, your parents passed away?
I'm so sorry *hug*
I dont have a dad, never did. he left before i was born, i say he is dead, cos i wish he was.
