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 It seems to have been replaced by a...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...

«Oldest ‹Older 1601 – 1800 of 4870 Newer› Newest»Bye guys, might be back later !!! :3 Xx
Awww we still love ya Cat
You matter, whenever you come on
it doesn't feel too different, to matter to someone who knows how many miles away, likely ten years older than me, and is a picture of pixels. its something, though.
Fours Cassidy!
*groans at ink I got on my duvet*
You are not, Cat. I remembered you, see? You're a nice person and I do care. I try to care. I try. Do I try all right? Do I? Okay, shutting up now.
Oh, dammit, the wi-fi's off:(
Smile :)
You do matter, I haven't really talked to you but when we do talk, I enjoy talking to you
wwhyy!
I dont really understand wi-fi... wireless something? i try to avoid computer-talk.
how would you know if i am a nice person? you've never been me- not even for one day. i dont know if you'd survive.
Fours?
Why what Thrust?
What's happened now?
wbd?
What's up, thrust?
whats wbd?
Then explain a day in the life of Cat and we'll see if any of us have gone through the same experiences?
wdb? waht?
Hey Thrust!
it means will be distant Thrust
i'm awefully confused. of course, that could be connected to the sity minutes of sleep i've gotten in the last three days.
Wbd = will be distant.
Msd = might suddenly disappear.
They were invented by a bloglandian. They're pretty useful abbrevations.
i got that bit, but... i have no idea why he says,
"Whhyy?" as if the world has done him a great injustice. i'd like to know, when he comes back
The world . . .
I hate human beings. Really I do.
Ah don't worry about that Cat lol
Maybe you should get an early night tonight, that could make a difference
yeah, because that'll help. really.
We're just . . .
Just . . .
*feels so sad*
It will Cat. Really. Sleep often makes things better.
humans? oh yeah. aweful people, ost of them. no integrity, annoying, ignorant... unbearable. Aweful people, self-obsessed... like me.
not like you, though. i'm sure you're wonderful humans(forgive the oxymoron) . well, not sure, but... who can know?
somwhow, i dont think getting to bed earlier will help me get to sleep any earlier.
Yeah, Cat. Life sucks. It depends on how you look at it. Hi bye the way!
you just need to add more exclamation points.
Hi Star!!!
Good to see you. Again.
Hi Em!
"wwhyy" because life is full of distractions, and derek's blog is full of people. Which is a good thing at the best of times, and even the worst of times, but not so hot while I'm supposed to be studying.
haha, cat! oxymoron!!!
Poor you- what time is it where you are?
That's funny... *smiles*
*serious face*
true though... Which is why it's funny
*smiles again*
C'mon cat! Smile with me!!
6:10, You guys?
Ah it becomes so clear now Thrust.
But at least give your system a chance to wind down Cat instead of staring at a computer screen and then try to sleep.
I've done that before and it so helps.
It's 11:12 pm here
Though I'm up for a while cause I would like to get this chapter finished
*attempts to smile* Smiling is easy- i've been acting for years. *Laughs* almost funny how easy it is to fake things...
sad, too, that i have to tell myself to smile most of the time. I can laugh, though- actually, i have the feeling that at the rate i laugh i will live forever. you can decide if that's a good thing.
So... emerald is in Europe, thrust is in Eastern standard. interesting.
Aye lol :)
To be more specific, I'm in Co.Dublin in Ireland just to let you know lol
I just hate us as a species. The things we do to this wonderful planet of ours . . . The way we think we're so much better than anyone or anything else. The way we choke the planet with our wires and our buildingd and just US. We're like a diseasw infecting the planet, surronding it, killing it. The fact people do cruel experiments on animals. The fact we always have to stick our noses into everything (I'm talking about scientific discoverys here). Interfereing, probing. Why can't we just let things be?
i guessed something like that- you are in the same time zone as the blog is based. thrust is in the same time zone as i am.
Unfortunately Star, we can't. We've been gifted with a self destruct button that is called curiosity and no matter how hard we try to turn it off, we will always press it as a species.
The only thing is to let individuals walk down their own path and hope that the individuals, though separate, are uniting to make this world a better place with their own unique abilities and talents.
The earth needs fingerprints before it needs a palm print.
11:20 pm. East Yorkshire, England.
we need to let things be. why is it that we need to expand, thta we deserve the natural rescources? why do we find ourselves as the best creatures?
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I generally don't talk to people.
If people are watching me and my friends, I would keep my mouth shut through the whole conversation unless I'm spoken too. Then I realise later that I have to pry my lips apart. In a manner of speaking.
i Don't talk to people- for my sake and theirs.
helloww?
Well I'm enjoying the conversation that we're having Cat.
MANGOES!
Stop being so depressed about yourselves, people!
School bye!
*shrugs* Yeah, true, Em, but I still hate us. You ever just look out a window and feel like we're covering the whole planet, surrouding it, choking it? Coz I often feel that.
God I've never seen Eve move so fast lol it was amazing
HI/FOURS EVE!!!
Yeah I do Star but then I see my little boy and realise that he's gonna be one of those people that will change the world.
So I work twice as hard to pave the way and make sure that the road is smooth for him.
That's what your parents do for you, they try and make sure that the road isn't too bumpy for you
She was like Brianna in Gone!
Hi....im upset
fours?
And do you ever see your little boy and wonder if he will ever know what you knew? do you ever look up from your book of old stories of life and forrest and castles and wonder what your little boy will do without a world that is never coming back?
Hi again Zafira. Why are you upset?
Oh God... not you tooo...
*thinks of the kids in the FAYZ who, if they existed, would have no parents*
*thinks of the gods in Percy Jackson and how they can't ever be good parents, unless they want to be destroyed, probably*
Sad thoughts.
No I don't.
I have confidence that I will teach my son to have the knowledge of my time and experience of his.
We can't change what has been done but we can work to make sure that the future knows that we f*cked up so they don't do the same.
That's all we can do.
God we're a real counselling session tonight guys
Brianna? Who is this? What are you talking about?
I'm going to be late for school again, so bye!
AND ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!
Buh-bye!
what is fours?
derek!!! Can you cheer us up by coming on?
Or posting again. Then coming on?
That would cheer us up.
i could name a few other things too. Like My birthday is on the 25th of June!! and when that day comes... I'll be happy. Only me. :( Maybe. Only if there's cake. Just kidding. Only if there's good cake.
Fours is the Star equivalent of bye. It's short for may the fours be with you. AF quote.
I thought it was may the force be with you.
Or am I missing the point entirely? lol
Ok, guys! from now on, for as long as we can go, we end all our sentences with exclamation marks!
OK?! Let's GO!
i don't know what that is... but okay. that's alright.
Hi Zafira!
Brianna is a character in Gone, Eve. Brianna, who nicknamed herself the Breeze, is a powerful mutant who can move at superspeed. My, "she's like Brianna in Gone!" comment was in relation to Em's comment about how fast you were.
That sounds angry! or perhaps cheerful, peppy?!
not working.
OK! Now!
(I've done this before! Alone, and no one noticed or at least commented! Because I didn't point it out! But as a group, this should be fun!)!
It is may the force Cat! Like I said: it's an AF quote, ignore it!
I sound like I'm shouting! Hey, I sound like Gertha Teeth from The Saga of Darren Shan! We all do, I guess!
Sure why not!
It might be a bit of craic! But will it not start to get annoying after a while?!
I love star wars, but af means nothing to me. oh well. if its a movie or something, there is no way ive ever seen it...
Dont shout at me!
Zafira?
Millions of Gertha Teeths! *grins!*
Im on my fb rp. This kid for his sake ill use his tribute name, Bristle goes to one my other friends Bambi. Tells him im biased by giving advice. My exact words were: "Go for Bambi if you want." cuz Bristle asked me. Then
Bambi tells my fellow admin and that admin pissed at me. I memtor District 9. Its my job. I merely gave advice.
If what your doing is shouting, Star, THEN THIS MUST BE EXPLODING!!!!!!!!!!! OR SOMETHING ELSE! THAT'S THE BEST I COULD THINK OF!
Nope, Em! Well, Maybe! But I remember being paranoid, having to reread most of my comments before I posted them! Good fun!
AF stands forArtemis Fowl! Which are some of the best books in the multiverse! Seriously! AF, PJ, SP and Gone are the best! In no particular order!
Yes, I like books! I love books! Books are so cool!
My mind is going off course coz of the exclamation marks!
YOU USED TO BE A CREATOR, ZAF!
What?! now im more confused.... which artemis fowl? i've read most of them... fours? like, four-legs, like foaly?!
PJ is SO perfect! I love those books! Unless you disclude the Heroes of Olympus, it's at times my second or first favorite!
I've never read AF! I held it in my hands, but I never got round to reading it!
You see Mark of Athena cover?!
Never read Artemis or Percy
Skulduggery obviously
My authors are Darren Shan, Cassandra Clare, Garth Nix and Julia Golding.
I dont know how old you are, but you really should!
Artemis Fowl The Last Guardian! Book number eight! It isn't published yet - I'm quoting the extract!
http://books.usatoday.com/bookbuzz/post/2012-02-16/exclusive-excerpt-artemis-fowl-book-8-the-last-guardian/628837/1

there is this girl at school, and she is obsessed with adam lambert.
yes, there is a point to this.
so i dont care for adam lambert, and i so.
i say this to a person who came into school, seeming on angel dust, because he sent her a tweet.
and to a person who threatens the life of someone who disses him in any way.
and i say, he's not that good. she just shrugs and says,
that's fine.
Meh by July im stalking my mailbox
I tried to enter, but I don't think it worked... *cries in corner*
DUDE, I HAVE A SECOND DEGREE BLACK BELT IN FOUR KINDS OF KARATE, INCLUDING BRAZILIAN JUI-JITSU AND DISCLUDING NINJARY.

Honours? how old are u
Ooooh, I'm in honours classes... We just finished reding The Count of Monte Cristo.
*reading
Well, that spelling error wasn't very honoursish. (Niether is the word honoursish, but whatever)
ow... sorry if i have no idea what's going on...
i did something to myself in karate, we were doing body drops and my instructor dropped me really hard(accidentally, of course) and now this entire half of my body is aching, so of course i am sitting on my leg(the one i hurt) and it tenses and cramps and started twitching and burning.... ow.
mbd
awwwww poor cat
14 next year in 8th grade i take
Honors English
9th*
you're great:)
Matt smith... he's one of the doctors,yeah?
im new to the doctor scene... but OMIGOD ISAWESOME. i've seen some of number nine, google imaging matt smith now..
i think i might be the youngest one here... I am in advanced classes, though, going into 8th advanced next year, although i keep declining private schools.
I'm in 7th grade (for 12-13 yr olds; I'm thirteen), and I'm in honors English, Social Studies, and Algebra, which is a ninth grade class.
yew ily doctor who
I was top Level everything. Though I did not take Algebra 1. I took the highest 8th grade math class which was advancec pre-algebra. Got a 72 :/ not fun
okay, same age i am abouts- we dont have honours, but there are 'advanced' classes with algebra for math, and the likes for everything else... its not the same in our system-
ninety-seven average in everything, though i'd be higeher if i did more homework.
I hate Algebra so much... My teacher looks/sounds like a mad, cackling chicken.
algebra is easy- its the bothering to do homework that is the problem
ok guys really sorry but ive got A LOT OF WORK TO DO so im gonna have 2 go will talk again sometime and check out my blog!
http://alexfirefootthoughts.blogspot.com.au/
bibi!!
Oh I did the work. My teacher just didnt control the class.
Bye Alex!
Speaking of work, I have to write something for the Count of Monte Cristo that's due tomorrow... So I will be distant....
Oooh....i gotta shower
...
I am sooooooo GOING TO POP
oh, did i miss alex leaving?
aw..
Fours to all of you who are leaving
its sooooooo warm
bibi cat!
I Love doctor who! I just started watching it two weeks ago and im hooked
hello, MonsterMouse
i might be a little distant... long story...
How are you?
is there a way to make the comments section bigger?
Cya Legolas
Doctor who is the best- which doctor?
I am.... warm. very warm. its horribly warm. im going to melt
Um... Matt Smith, then David Tennant. I kinda liked christopher ecclson but his adams apple distracted me. same with Davids side burns
i've only really seen chris ecclson but he's the bestest ever
those photos are flawless.
derek, i have a question. i don't know when i'll get to see you again, i don't even know if i'll be able to hold on that long, but do you accept letters? i've been wanting to write one for you for a while now, but i guess i just never did.
OI!
hello bethany.
I, for one, have no idea if you can send him letters- and i've looked, for a long time on the internet, the yellowpages... i've found the publishing company, but apparently that never works.
He does!!
His addresses can be found somewhere online... and they differ depending on where you live. Or how many stamps you wanna use.
have you ever sent him a letter?
I wanna!!!
I want a lot of things!
DEREK!
Can you answer my questions?
I'm gonna make a decent list and post it on every page till I get an answer. Just a heads-up!
that would be interesting...
if he ever came on while there were only a few people on...
i have so many questions... the list goes on and on
Cat you the only one on?
well, you are here... and bethany was....
Thank you so much for helping the Forums out, Derek. :) :) :) it really means a lot to us.
Theust i doubt Derek is up. Then again he surprises me
yeah, it's about 130, so even if he was up, i don't know why he'd come here...
i'll see you all later
Yeah. But that doesn'y mean he can't read the comments. Hi Zaf!
Hi Cat!
Hi Kaza!
K I'm on for about a few more minutes
Post a Comment
