For all you readers in Dublin/Wicklow, I'm going to be appearing at the Dalkey Book Festival this Sunday at 12 PM...
And does anyone know what happened to the Skulduggery Forums? It seems to have been replaced by a... web-sitey... thing...
And because I have nothing further to add, here are two well-timed photos...

No! Course you're good enough. Just, I miss my other online friends, the ones I haven't seen for a while.
I still have that feeling that he just has this open while we all blab away and he is laughing his socks off lol
i get where you're coming from, though, star...
i dont know if they count as friends, but... there were some regulars that i liked to type to...
ALthough just talking about him laughing probably makes him laugh harder...
Hey, guys.
Oh, dammit, gtg again. Bb iiiiiiin . . . Half an hour? May the fours be with you.
Heya Lu
fours!
Hi Luciania
Hello, Shell.
Hello, Cat.
BOO! did i scare anyone?
Hello, Marsh.
Ah how are ye Marsh lol
You got me :)
good, ma internet was cut off for the day so i was cut off from civilisation:'(
Hello again. I'm going to stay on, but will be distant. Still cleaning my room.
aw unlucky lavender! my mom has been bugging me to do it all day... so i stuffed all my stuff in my wardrobe!!!
define civilization.
Oh I hate when that happens Marsh.
You work away Lav, we'll still be here.
YAY!!!! I've just finished loading all my Playing With Fire audiobooks onto youtube. So delighted lol
Now onto The Faceless Ones :)
civilization: the social process whereby societies achieve an advanced stage of development and organization. Its quoted from google, it must be right...
*laughs at Cat's comment*
Yeah, we're far from civil. :P
Haha, funny, Marsh!
*looks around room*
*groans*
Everywhere's a mess! The only place that's not a BIG mess... is the closet.
i am sophisticated, charming, suave, and debonaire, but i have never claimed to be civilised.
actually no- i'm none of the above, but my skul-man is, and everybody loves him.
*laughs*
Nice quote, Cat. :P
haha y'see Lav? The closet is a wonderful escape from cleaning rooms:)
Yeah, but still. Maybe I can just stuff things in my dresser.
I think that's why my mom gave it to me... ;P
Hello, Star.
Hello, Star.
Can somebody please tell me EXACTLY what a closet is? Is it a cupboard? A wardrobe?
Hi Star!
I haven't talked to you in a while! I've been so busy! What with shopping all day yesterday and everything that's going on with my going to Korea and all. It's been rough.
Btw, I now really dislike clothes shopping. Any other shopping, I'll be fine with.
Bloody double comment. :/
Um, I think it's like a wardrobe, but connected to the house... um... that's the best explanation I can come up with.
its like a very small room, about the size of a wardrobe and is used the same.
Has anyone got any images relating to the Faceless Ones book?
I need some for my youtube videos
Shopping.
What does that word make you think of? It makes me think of supermarkets, boringness, trolleys, shopping centres, aching feet, carrier bags, the colour yellow (don't ask), having to decide stuff, oh-no-I-have-to-try-stuff-on-y-ness, food, vegeatables, desserts, and I-don't-want-to-do-it-y-ness.
I like shopping..
How could i look up the youtube videos?
I loathe shopping- eurgh. i get through, about... a few steps into the store, before i feel the need to get out or start breaking things.
That's a good definition, Cat. Waaayy better than mine.
Although, my closet's a bit bigger than a regular one...
What about looking on Google images, Em? I'm sure they have some.
That's mostly what happened, Star. Aching feet, trying on SO MUCH CLOTHES(! I'm so bored of that!) No food for me, but yes, having to decide stuff, and not wanting to do it. Yeah.
Well, okay. We DID have a lunch break, but in the car. And ice cream.
Bye, guys..
Look up my user name Cat
MusicMama89
And I have a playlist for the first audiobook and the second audiobook
See you anothehr time, Luciana.
where did you guys come up with your names?
Oh, okay:)
No, Em, sorry.
I don't mind a bit of shopping, partly coz, well, it's only a bit, and also coz it means I get to walk about. (I love walking. Sometimes at luchtime in school my friends are all standing in a group amd I'm just walking around them in circles. Walking helps me think). And I love shopping for books. Other than that, I don't like shopping.
My friend is a fashionista and I'm wondering how she does it! I go with her when we go to the mall and all she does is try on clothes! She doesn't even BUY half the stuff she tries! I get bored in the first ten minutes.
My blog name or my youtube name lol
My blog name because I'm from Ireland, the Emerald Isle and Melody because music is my love
And my youtube one is because of my love of music, that I'm a mam and the numbers are my year of birth lol
i love book shopping... other than that i get freaked out.
I like shopping for books too. :) And yeah, a little bit of walking around is fine, but once the feet ache, I want to just go home.
I'm fine with shopping for anything other than clothes.
May the fours be with you L!
Oh, sorry L! Didn't read your bye comment...
Bye L!
Um, I didn't read it till NOW, I meant.
oh... and you know those shops, you know, where there is all that random old treasurey stuff... love those.
i just went shoe shopping... worst kind of shopping ever. i did get socks though, which i collect, and those barefoot shoe things
I took this name cause my favorite color is purple, but I didn't think purple as a name sounded as good. So I went with lavender. Also, I like the smell of lavender.
I was thinking of Faith or Hope as my last name though, but I chose Hope.
Hope is cause... well, hope is a good thing to have. It's something that means a lot to a lot of people and without it, a lot will be missing from the world. Everyone hopes for things.
I hate trying stuff on. It's the worst part of it all.
I picked my name coz I love the sky and the stars are in the sky. I also liked the nane Star but I'd never made a character with it before. My surname . . . Oh, don't ask. To cut a long story short, Inkbright because I have ink powers, well my OC does, and coz of my inky fountain pens, and my reading books a lot with the words made from ink. Bright because it's a lovely word, it's a blue word (I sometimes see words as represejting colouts, and blue's my favourite colour), and coz the Ink on it's own just doesn't look/sound right.
Shoe shopping is okay for me. And those kind of shops are called either antique or pawn shops.
*representing
Shoe shopping's okay, yeah.
@Star
Not to mention the time you were changing your name, but couldn't decide which to choose. :P
Your OC?
It's not a good start when your making a new bunch of videos that your program doesn't respond :\
Not Good!
Original Character.
My OC is Lavender Hope. She an adept who has shape-shifting powers. Can become any kind of animal in the world.
Also, I'm pretty sure any other character you made up, like for a story or something. As long as it's yours.
okay, sorry. i dont spend too much time with other people, so i dont know a lot of these abbreviations...
That IS not good, Em. Hope(see? It's said a lot.) you can get it to work!
That's okay, Cat. You'll learn. :)
maybe its just in a bad mood. some electrics can be pretty tempermenta;.
"My surname . . . Oh, don't ask. To cut a long story short . . . "
^^^ I couldn't be bothered to tap out all my surname trouble as well, Lavender:)
Hey, Cat? Are you a girl or a boy? I'm sorry, I just can't tell. :s
Yep. Tempermental:)
Electrical devices hate me.
hey em whats the name of your vids on youtube? all i can find are ones by dongivinadamn or somtin!!:) Well, my name is nothing sentimental or meaningful like you guys... i just think val is awesome and i was eatin marshmallows at the time.... but my ACTUAL oc charecter is adrianna estelle... is means dark star..MUHAHAHAHA
I know, Star. That's why I said it for you. Well, kinda. ;P
no problem... actually, untill about a year or two ago, when i stopped bothering to get haircuts, there were little kids asking me that to my face. i dont take it as an insult at all,
Well, i suppose i am legally considered female, although mentally things get a little more confusing.
Crisis averted, it is working again.
The first video for The Faceless Ones has been made. Hazzah!
i have a lot of little voices in my head, all my own and there are a few that arent female, but mostly... they're girls.
Lol, marshmallows are gooood. I like the OC name, too. :)
Yay you, Em! :)
Oh, okay Cat. That's a little freaky with the voices though. All the voices in my head are girls, unless I'm working on a story and have to think of the boy character.
Does anyone else talk to their faveourite charecters in their heads? cause i just realised today that its a tad bit weird that i talk to Fletcher all the time... when nobodys lookin...:D
fdsouiiiiiiiiiiiikjljn,mbghfcesrwrewwwhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiwwwwppeeeeepppppppllllleeeeewwwwvbbbbb
a word from the cat.
most of the voices( the ones that are mine, not, you know, other authors or people) are not very nice to me.
Okay, I have a bit of a confession to make, and it's a little weird... has to do with what Marsh just said.
i usually talk to charecters from books... mostly in my head, but when i have to i will write at them or talk out loud...
i write loads of randomness down... on my bad days...
sometimes, when i'm reading a book...
actually, this is kind of akward- i dont know...
Um just search MusicMama89 on youtube and you'll find the videos Marsh.
I haven't written any Skulduggery fanfics, I haven't talk to any charecters or even done any fan art
I'm such a bad fan :(
youre a great fan, just not an overobsessive fan.
I bet it's weirder having cartoon TV and movie characters as 'imaginary friends' and talking to them out loud(course that's when no one's around) and giving them their own imaginary rooms in your own bedroom and...
Yeah. I am so weird. But that was when I was younger. I don't do that anymore.
I DO still have two other 'Me's' that I talk to. One is older and acts like the adult I can't seem to be, the other is younger and likes to get me into mischief. But sometimes they gang up on me when I get into a fight with my friend and they're telling me I should apologize...
Yeah... I'm not sure if I'm making any sense anymore or if I ever have since I started typing... I. Am. REALLY. Weird. Yeah...
Oh, and I also like to go into the books I read or TV/movie shows I watch and act like a character in it. Yeah.
My voices in my head are just my voices. Very boring, I know.
Msd.
Okay Star. And that's kinda what I mean about having two other 'Me's'. They're ME, but one is older, one is younger. They still have my voice, just changed to be like their age...
I know I'm weird.
You know when I'm reading an American book? They are written differently, reakly they are. I can always see the Americanness in them. Anyway, you know when you read a book you hear the narrator as a voice in your head? Least, I do. Anyways, when I'm reading an American book, the narrator's voice always seems to end up having an American accent, without me realising I'm doing it.
Same with me, Star. Except the book I'd be reading would be an English book or a character in the American book would have a different accent. Sometimes. Sometimes I have to THINK about their accent though.
I bet part of that didn't make sense...
Oh, I know.
The character in an American book would be from a different place. That's what I mean. They'd have a different accent.
Sorry, I gotta go now. Bye!
Hi Thrust! you caught me just as i was about to flutter off and periodically show up whenever i can get away.
I just have another version of my voice. Boring:(
Sometimes, often after I've been reading loads (loads by MY standards ;) ), I start hearing a voice in my head talking about me and my thoughts in third person. Like, I dunno, I'd think; " 'Just go upstairs and get on with it!' Holly thought." Or, "Holly was quickly trying to finish the last few pieces off," or whatever.
Er, yeah, my given name's Holly:)
Me and the girl
Hi Thrust! May the fours be with you Lavender!
Yeah . . . I subconsiously give people in American books American accents coz they just speak like Americans. The phrases they use, the layout of their words.
You and what girl?
The comment layout keeps changing slightly. It annoys me.
Me and the girl, star
What accent do you give ME, star?
What accent do you give ME, star?
You and the girl. *nods seriously, pretending I understood that perfectly*
You aren't in a book, Thrust.
*thinks about it* I don't know, I don't really give people here accents.
Yeah I dont give narrators accents, I cant actually imagine anyone talking...Its just .... A VOICE... hi thrust!
*see star nod*
moving on!
What accent do you guys imagine I have?
What do I imaginarily sound like?
Cya later, if i can. going to karate, and all...
Cya later, if i can. going to karate, and all...
Heya Thrust.
Yeah neither do I, I try and do character voices in my head but that's about it.
Did you find the videos Marsh?
I just read them, the head in my voice.. *snickers* :P .. the voice in my head assigns everyone a different tone. You all sound american or canadian. And only I can tell the differences. Sometimes I'll alter it a bit. so that you all sound british or aus
My nartators are far from just voices. Every author has a different narrator voice, coz of their different writing styles.
IM IRISH THRUST!!!
Does my brain care?
I'll try and tell it for you, Marsh
I'm Irish as well Thrust.
Fours Cat!
I never purposely give accents to characters/narrators etc. - if they get one, I've done it subconciously coz of the writing style. I have a nasty feeling I'm repearing myself.
Noted. Oh wait it already was... hmmm. Two is better than one, I spose
Me too, Star.
Weeel.. Thrust you sound KINDA american! are u american? id aay u must have mentioned it to us once!
ha anyone else noticed that Melencholia is blonde? i read that hte first time, sure, but... it never really... folded into her... its a good idea though. a nice, origional idea... i like it. although, of course, then you have to find the shade of blonde, but that's always fun...
I'm English!
My accent . . . Well I had a parent from Liverpool and a parent from near Hull, I was born in Holland, I lived in Switzerland for a bit after that, I was in Ipswich for quite a few years, and I've now lived in East Yorkshire for five years. Work my accent out from that.
So did you find the videos alright then Marsh?
I often miss details like hair colour, then find out the hair colour four books later or summat and have to adjust my view of them
Yeah... *nods unsurely* i got yourr accent now star...
getting them now em! i needed to let my phone charge up cus i need to watch ms marple and post at same time!
Hang on lol
Here Marsh, and for anyone else interested in the audio books
http://www.youtube.com/user/MusicMama89/videos?view=1
*laughs*
For some reason, Americans and so on seem to think that guv'nor is a common word in England. Until Robin told me otherwise, I thought that no English people ever said it. I've never heard it used. *pauses* Well, maybe in old films like Mary Poppins. That's about it.
Gtg:( May the fours be with you all!

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Heya Val
Who else is around, I think I just kinda daydreamed for a full hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God I'm outta touch tonight.
During afternoon tea there is a shift in the air,
A bone trembling chill that tells you she's there.
There are those who believe the whole town is cursed,
But the house in the marsh is by far the worst.
What she wants is unknown,
But she always comes back.
The specter of darkness,
The Woman in Black.
That movie scared me...
Do you want to check out my audio book videos Val? Might take your mind off the Woman In Black
Oh, my mind is off it, it has been for a few days now, but the rhyme thingy is fun to say. I might watch them later, but right now I'm a little busy...
Thats ok,
Well I'm heading to bed now, so talk to you again
Bye!
Bye
don't eat charcoal
So you said.
"This is the best song everrr made in the world."
The best fortress that exists is to avoid being hated by the people.
I hope i'm not hated.
I'm reading "The Prince".
Guess what I did today!!!
I am hated, so there's no point in hoping. Although, it's probably because I have a tendency to hurt people...
Hi Phoenix
Road a train?

Hi Val! GUESS WHAT I DID TODAY!!!
Eat a Fletcher?
Slow computer... I RODE MY FIRST ROLLERCOASTER!!!
