Alrighty then, here we go.
New Zealand- from (roughly) the 8th to the 11th of August, I shall be visiting:
Auckland
Wellington
Christchurch
Australia- from (roughly) the 12th to the 21st, I shall be visiting:
Brisbane
Sydney
Melbourne
Adelaide
Perth
I know we have a few readers in Christchurch who read this blog, so I'm glad to be able to visit after missing out last time around. And I know most of you in Adelaide and Perth were CONVINCED I wasn't going to get anywhere near you (especially you guys in Perth) so, y'know... this tour's for you!
And now, because I realised whatever picture I post here also pops up on the Facebook page, I shall post another picture of Gina Carano. Because she's lovely.
And another of Ronda Rousey, keeping the "hand-wrap" theme going...
What do you mean they have nothing to do with what I've just posted?

«Oldest ‹Older 1401 – 1600 of 4845 Newer› Newest»I own all of your books (that have been released in NZ) and I love them to bits! Also, my friend is reading your books and her exact words are "They are the coolest books in the entire universe!"
So, I was wondering, and yes I know you're a very busy author, but would you be able to visit a school in Christchurch?
If you have time would you be able to visit Villa Maria College? We think you are the coolest author ever and we would be over the moon if you able to come. Please?
Btw, where in Christchurch are you visiting?
I'm delighted you're coming to Perth. That saves me several hundred dollars flying to Sydney (which I was prepared to do).
NEW POST, PEEPS!
I'm determined to have the last comment. :)
OHMYGRAPEFRUIT, YOU'RE COMING TO ADELAIDE!!!!
I am so excited, it's almost worrisome.
When? When in Adelaide?
(And also where, where in Adelaide?)
OH YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!
Is there any way you would visit Toowoomba Library? We're only an hour or so from Brisbane and we LOVE you!
Hey Kirsty, I live in Adelaide too! Cool, someone who lives here besides moi. :D
BUT IT'S MY LAST COMMENT!!!!
Hey Eve the ROCK, I'm glad you talked to me, because I wanted to say, love the DP without it being weird, haha!
Who knew other people lived in Adelaide? Awesome!:D
DP.... *can't think of anything*
...
Hey, on a totally unrelated topic, what does DP stand for? Or did you mean SP? I really don't know. :P
Adelaide is awesome!!!! xD
Get to see you when you come to brisbane *dies*
Brilliant - hopefully will get to see you when I'm over there :)
Miiiiiiiiine
I drove from Clare to Dublin, but it was worth it because I got my book signed and he said he loves my name! Yay me
Noooo
Dear Derek,
I am a huge fan of your skulduggery Pleasant books. I know it is a bit cheeky, but I am writing on the off chance that you would be able to visit my school when you are in central Auckland, New Zealand in Auckland this year. Anytime would be great but lunchtime (12.25pm-1.00pm)would be perfect!
There are lots of fans at my school (Auckland Grammar School) who would love to meet you.
Yours sincerely
Floyd Fernandez
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU AREN'T COMING TO CANBERRA!!! IT'S THE BLOODY CAPITAL OF THE COUNTRY!!!

5007.
A most evil number.
A ruinous number.
An impossible number!
How does a blog post have 5007 comments?
5000 should be the maximum.
A maximum ending in zero.
But no. This maximum ends in seven.
Hmmph.
Boop.
*Wreaks havoc with a rubber duck*
This is my design.

Happy 2015!

Oh God. It's been 2015 for 5 months and 30 days.
How..?
Oh shit. I may have just started an argument. I did not mean this. I was just angry. D:
Please think before you speak, Star.
(Hi ^.^)
Star, you got last by posting multiple double comments, that made me laugh! XD
Also, I agree about what you said, and may or may not be here.
I've caused more upset than him?
Nice to see who you prefer, Star. I honestly doubt that you evet liked me. Ypu always seem to be arguing the other side.
(*hugs star back*)
But i guess you're right. Just for the fact i've been here longer and had more arguments.
Anyway let's end that there, before you start anothet argument, Star
(*quietly thanks star for the second chance etc*)
Mbd, reading.
(Yey! Dad fixed the shower now!)
Star, be a telepathic ninja owl for a moment.
*sorry, this was really random*
*is not here*
@Tama: Yup. XD
@Gemma: Yup. I get mad at you sometimes. I will admit that.
(Admittedlyrics, you have also been online much longer than Keiron. In light of that, it's really to be expected that you would cause more hurt. If not, that would be a rather good track record. I should have factored this into my calculations but failed to.)
:) Yeah. I'm in favour of avoiding arguments, for once.
*Admittedly
*mumbles* most of the time...
*Hisses*
*Kills a small rodent*
*tilts her head at Alia, watching from the tree*
*She senses someone watching her*
*A cloud of silvery mist envelops her*
*If anyone approaches, they will get angrier and sadder the closer they get*
@Aria: Heh. I don't mention when I'm not mad at you, and those times are less noticeable, so . . . :P
*Fast paced music in D minor plays*
*The mist fades, and when it's gone, all that's left is a small rodent, possibly a vole, seemingly made of silver*
(Poor rodent.. Poor vole..)
(Hey tam tam ^.^
The baggy clothes I'm wearing make me look like a boy
Brb talking to jack)
Well Star, i'm pretty sure you've shouted at me more times than you've agreed with me *smirks*
(Back
Stop the arguing )
Hello.
(Hey Kassy O)
Hey, Chloe. How did your exam go?
We're not arguing, Chloe.
and what's wrong with wearing baggy clothes and looking like a guy?
(shit
it was a crap paper
even my chem whiz of a friend whos done all the past papers hated it
people were crying
and we were evacuated half way through because of a fire alarm)
(nothing
I just don't want to look like a guy
its the first time ive worn baggy clothes since I had my hair cut)
*hugs Gemmy and Chloe tightly*
I love you, guys!
*explodes with Zaffy's dynamite*
(@Chloe :/
I hope you did better than you expect.)
Then don't wear those clothes? :)
(*huggles Kas* no dynamite!
thanks, hopefully they'll lower the grade boundaries)
(I wont from now on)
Awww Kassy ^.^
*hugs back tightly*
You seem to be in high spirits.
You shouldn't take Zaffy's dynamite though. She'll go rage mode and blow up England again...
Mwahahahahaha, that has been my evil plan all along!
The higher maths paper was too difficult up here. So many people complained that it was even on the news. Apparently paper 2 was terrible.
I hope the same happens with your Chemistry exam, Chloe.
And can i ask if you or your mother is good at sewing or have a sewing machine? If yes then you could still wear the clothes but just make them a little less baggy?
(Thanks, they'll probably lower grade boundaries
I remember what happened when the whole of wales did crap in English language)
O.o Kassy? You want to blow up England?
I mean, i'm fine with that cause i'm in Scotland apart from the 25th 26th and 27th of September and sometime in October, apart from that i don't mine but you want to blow yourself up?
(my nan can ^.^ ill ask her)
Mind*
Yeah. Probably.
Ah that's good Chloe. It would be a shame to waste them especially if you liked them.
(hmm that's odd
im listening to glee songs from the good ol days
im the song 'like a virgin', Rachael, emma and Santana are all wearing purple nightdresses
never noticed that before)
(aye, I like my checkered tops)
Never really watched glee. Saw a couple but meh.
(I preferred the first few series
now its gone way down hill)
Yeah. That normally happens with some TV shows.
(*raises an eyebrow at Gemma*
Gee thanks. Good to know you're fine with me being blown up too.
*sighs*
*leaves again because I'm gonna get grumpy*)
*shrugs*
(*huggles Jai jai*)
*pulls Jaimie into the tight group hug*
Nuuh! You're all wonderful!

*Is dead*
...
*Would do something interesting, but he's dead. And dead people can't do things*
@Gemma: Yeah. But I also disagree with C all the freaking time.
(don't stay dead John!!!!)
(*growls angrily*
*paces*
*glares*
*paces*
*sighs*
*sits*
*stands*
*paces*)
Jai . . . ?
(wassup jai?)
(*glances at star and Chloe*
*paces again*)
(whats wrong?)
(*waves a hand*
*grumbles about WiFi and reception*)
(ah right
I love the way Americans say anti)
(*sighs, head in hands*
*counts the hours*
Anti..?)
(yes
we say ant e
they say ant eye)
(Okay..? *frowns*
*sighs*
*mutters 10 hours 24 minutes..*
*shakes head* Wanna rp?)
(Sure ^.^)
MrBBWolf: *kisses Chris gently, smiling*
Hey, go outside for me okay? Outside type outside.
Chris: *kisses* outdoors? why, may I ask?
MrBBWolf: I want to try flying from the roof..
Chris: oh! good luck *smiles*
*goes outside*
MrBBWolf: *runs up to the roof, climbing onto it*
*takes deep breaths, looking down at Chris*
Chris: ill catch you if you fall!
*looks at Jai*
Huh...well that changed quickly. You were really aggitated then your mood xhanged and you wanted to RP. Or was that to distract you from what you're aggitated about?
John, you know that's not true. The dead people in the fields of Punishment in the underworld do stuff cause they were bad. And people in the Elisyian Fields...do what they do as well. I can imagine ghosts having parties and stuff. That would be interesting.
(does anyone else get really painful hiccups?)
*...........*
*Their bodies can't do things*
(don't be dead!)
No Chloe, i can't say i've had hiccups that are painful. Maybe hurt my throat a little but it's bareable. More annoying.
*laughs*
But no bodys body can really do anything without their Soul anyway and the soul is the important part and that gets sent to T
the Underworld when we die. So dead people can do things. Their soul is the person, who they are. But you were right the second time in saying their bodies can't do anything. They just become empty vessels when we die *nods and smiles*
(*frowns* it makes my chest hurt quite a bit)
tbh
(@Gem distraction. Rping lets me stop being me.)
MrBBWolf: O-okay..
*spreads his wings, feeling the slight wind, beating against them*
I can d-do this.. I-I can..
*runs and jumps off the roof, screwing his eyes closed, beating his wings quickly*
*however they aren't in sinc so he just ends up being turned over and falling back-first towards the ground*
(I tried to sell my soul years ago... didn't want it any more.)
*nods* that's how i feel too, Sid.
*waves at Fabi*
(CHLOE WAS YOUR CHEMISTRY EXAM IN THE MORNING!?)
(hey Fsb ^.^ and K)
Chris: *hastily plays the fiddle so a bubble of water forms and softens wolfs landing*
(no it was in tha afternoon
hey Sis ^.^)
(DAMMIT)
Hey Seirsha ^.^
(and heyyy *waves*)
My hiccups are really bad, I'm not sure if I'd use the word "hurt" per se, but my entire upper body twitches when my vocal chords do.
(Hey Gemmy)
( I see, mine are painful *frowns*)
Also hello.
I am on the bus, pretending to text people to avoid acknowledging the existence of the creepy guy sitting across from me.
So, when I get close to my stop, I will disappear.
(*nods and hugs Chloe*
*murmurs 10 hours 51 minutes..*)
MrBBWolf: *lands in the bubble with a slash*
*swims to the top of the bubble, hair stuck to his head and horns, shirt now see through under his soaked waistcoat*
*blushes*
You might want to get that checked out. Both of you :-/ that does not sound healthy.
(**hugs Gemma)
(Hi chloe :)
not really here also not really ghosting, just doing hw still. so might not be on till the am's
)
(okay Fab ^.^
*huggles Jai*
ive had it for years, its fine ^.^)
Chris: *smirks* I should get you wet more often
Aww Fabi i hate when that happens...it's so uncomfortable.
Jai, Why are you counting up?
(Mine hurt too Chloe. That's so strange though because this morning a GCSE or ALevel exam (don't know which) was interupted by the fire alarm... O_O.)
(*Huggles Chloe too*)
MrBBWolf: *blushes*
*mumbles*
Y-you already d-do.. ev-very time I s-see you..
*blushes more*
(OMG THAT IS SO WEIRD O.O
maybe its sabotage..
you don't know gower college do you ? XD)
Chloe that doesn't make it fine if you've had it for years and not got it checked out it's very worrying actually.
(@Gemma because it's going up. The time. Is going up. The time. Is getting longer. I'm being driven insane by time. Time. Tick tock tick tock tick tock I'm a clock don't wanna stop cause tick tock tick tock.)
It's not pleasant, but I know other people who have the same problem, and it's not like I get really bad hiccups every day, and it's not like they just started recently or anything. But thank you for your concern, Gemma.
Chris: *grins* really? *releases the bubble
(I don't hiccup alllll the time
don't worry ^.^ im tough )
(*hugs fabigale*)
MrBBWolf: *flops onto the ground*
*is once again pinned by his own wings*
*blushes more*
*manages to lift his wings off him a bit then let's them flop back down*
C-Chris.. help..
But it's 7:55. Not 10:55. Why were you saying 10 hours?
No problem Fabi but again, i suggest if you've had it for a long time you and your friends should probably take a visit to the doctors.
Yeah.
Apparently I'm really approachable, because I seem to deal with random people trying to talk to me and asking me for directions and stuff more than most of my friends. This guy seems to have found someone else to annoy now, though.
(@Gemma because it's been 11 hours 2 minutes.)
Chris: *smiles and offers a hand*
(wolf is so cute *fangirls*)
Ah that's good Fabi, for you. Not so much for the other person.
11 hours since what, Jaimie?
MrBBWolf: *takes his hand, using it to pull himself up*
*folds his arms over his chest and stomach self consciously, blushing*
(Thanks..)
(11 hours and 5 minutes since an important thing that I hate not having.)
Chris: you have nothing to hide honey
MrBBWolf: I-I know..
*keeps his hands where they are anyway*
Chris: *takes his hands away*
MrBBWolf: Ch-Chris!
*blushes, squirming*
You're making this very difficult for me and it's going to get annoying, but what important thing you hate not having?
(*cuddles Gemma* Don't get annoyed..
Sil: *rolls eyes at this entire predicament*)
I was meaning for you but obviously not. You're avoiding telling me though but keep saying these times and it is a bit k
irritating to not know what they mean.
Chris: *looks amused* yes?
(@Gem sorry..
Sil: Oh she's just being stupid! You don't see me acting like she's acting and it's worse for me!)
Right. Didn't get the job. *sighs*
Don't say anything. I'll be ghosting.
MrBBWolf: *blushes more*
*looks at his feet, squirming more*
My sh-shirt is see th-through! Its embarras-ssing!
(*hugs kas gently*)
(*huggles Kas* don't worry)
Chris: im the only one here *caresses his face*
*wants to say something but nods and doesn't say anything, hugging Kassy*
MrBBWolf: *smiles, leaning closer to him*
*glances over his shoulder at his wings*
Chris: *smiles* want to try again?
MrBBWolf: I-I'll probably only f-fall again-n..
(i don't like being used as a verb.)
Chris: you need practise
MrBBWolf: *shakes head*
I-I doubt I'll ev-ver be able to fly..I d-don't have the muscles o-or the coordination..
Chris: youll have to build up muscle! coordination will come with practise! *grasps his shoulders* I believe in you
I wonder if John has actually died now.
MrBBWolf: H-have you seen m-me? I'm w-weak as a twig..
*Getting there*
Chris: well have to build up muscle!
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpjQzi6v2Hk
this song just popped ointo my head)
MrBBWolf: Mm.. I-I can try..
*tilts head*
Why are you dying anyway?
(dying isn't the way!)
Chris: *cheers* you can do it! you can do it!
*No idea*
*Just one of those days*
(but it's so fun :( )
(my facebook is open for chat
unless my mum reads the messages
*fumes*)
(dying is not fun)
MrBBWolf: *blushes*
Shhh!
*smiles*
Y-you aren't allowed to ch-cheerlead unless you d-dress up like one!
Chris: *tilts head* what are you suggesting?
Ah. Those 'dark days'
*smiles and then shakes her head at her reference*
(Hello.)
Liliana: Perhaps Silente and Bethany, to see if we can catch them before we leave. I made us both classified as welcome for the enchantment I placed on the house, so we should be able to appear there.
Claire: What?
Lily: ... Am I old fashioned?
