Righto, I can finally reveal the details for the A/NZ Down Under Tour. Most of the days will be taken up visiting schools, so I'm only listing the public events which will occur in the evenings and at the weekends.
For the public signings, all you have to do is turn up and I'll sign as much as possible in the time I have- but for the public events, it might be a good idea to contact the bookshop/library/whatever as soon as possible, in order to book a place.
The Ireland and UK details will be posted when I have them.
Oh, and for those of you who entered the little short story competition on the Skulduggery website, I've just read through the finalists (30 of them) and the winners will be announced before the weekend. Some truly great work in there...

My report:
Maths: B
English: B
Science: C
Religious Education: C
History: C
Design and tech: B, I think...
The Arts (pictures, drama, music): B
Italian: B
Sigh. I got an A for Science and Italian and I think English last year.
APPARENTLY I have a huge problem with being proud of my crappy artwork
In my language, ow means hurting
Design and tech sound cool. I like the arts though, cause I'm pretty good at it. :P
At least you don't have any D's or F's.
Ow is a exclemation of pain
And yes, I spelt that wrong, but I'm trying to type with my left hand here
Can't wait!!!!
Just glad it isn't on a school day. Would have to skip school... XD
So it's your hand that hurts Nix? What happened?
Hi Emily. :) That wouldn't be good, will it? :P
Or if it isn't your hand, what hurts? And what happened?
I was playing basketball, and I dunno, maybe I bent it back, but my right index finger hurts like crazy. No matter how much ice I use, the swelling won't go down
That does sound like it hurts. My suggestion, just keep the ice on.
Oh, so your HAND is ow. Could've just said so
You know what helps swelling? Mouse tails
I'm going to desperately try and get to that public event in Brisbane! I've waited five years to meet you and it's been way to long! I can't wait!
Also, I absolutely loved the fist chapter of the new book. I can just tell its going to be super awesome! :)
Hi Arcanine!
Okay, I've decided that I need to make two posts with the pictures. I think I took to many, but the animals are too cute! I'll show them as soon as I can.
Hey Arcaine
I think I can fathom a guess and say that there is a lot of very happy Ausminions this morning.
Unlike this Iriminion who had a tooth taken out yesterday and is still slightly groggy.
Hi Emerald!
Hi Em! Ouch. I hate to take teeth out. That's one reason why I didn't want braces. XP
I wasn't happy this morning... and I already knew that he was coming to Melbourne, all I know now is exactly where, and that I probably can't go...
Ahh that sucks big time Nix
This is the first time I've had a tooth taken out Lav and I'm actually doing OK considering.
*looks at pictures I'm uploading*
Eek! That's a bit much... I have 29 pics of animals... most of them are the same ones. But they're so cute! I didn't know which to leave out!
Oh, that's good to hear Em. :)
But not good for Nix to miss Derek. :(
Fly over to Dublin and I'll sneak you into one Nix lol then you can crash on my couch in my gaff lol
That really is a bummer Nix
Guess I won't know for a few days, but 5 bloddy 15 in Melbourne city? Ha. I'd be lucky if I was allowed at 2 PM
Dinner bye!
Finally! Almost finished with the animal pic post.
Yokay
Hi
I love pudding
Hi Trinity!
I knew I knew you from somewhere Nix! And Derek, I'm so happy that the story thing is being announced before the weekend because I'm going away to the Gaeltacht for 3 weeks on Sunday. :) Humph. My school report is coming later than that though, which is v. annoying because now my mam and my sister will see it first. And I don't think it's as good as it could be. Anyway. Can't wait til you come to Drogheda!
NOMNOMNOM
Yay, here it is!
Going to get part two ready now.
http://blog-of-random-things.blogspot.kr/2012/06/pics-of-korea-part-one-animals.html
HI NIX!
Hi Darquesse!
Hi Trinity! Hi Darquesse!
Hello Evil sorceress who will destroy the world unless Some one manages to stop them
Trinity, aren't you Lola? Or someone with a different name?
HI LAVENDER
Um yes I am I am Vena Coils "other side"
Yeah. being evil is awesome. It's so much more fun :L Hey everyone :)
OMGG DEREK!!!!!!!!!!! BRISBANE!!!!!!!! I MUST SEE YOU THERE!!!!!! OMGG OMGG OMGG DEREK OMGG!!!!!
I frequentlY use CAPS LOCK in tHe incorrEct plAce
Oh. Yeah. Okay.
Hi Lauren!
Hi Lauren
Wait, Lavender you meet Vena right?
Does anyone here play mine craft? My friends are obsessed with it and I feel left out cause I don't play it
SOoOoOOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
distant because I am on youtube
My friends were obsessed with it. Now, not so much
be back soon
Bye!
I hate home work!
Now i must work on my speech. JOY!
Yeah, I met Vena.
I don't play Mine Craft either.
Bye!
Dum de Dum. I should write another blog post about SP. Can'tremember what I was going to do it about though...
Are you leaving, Dark? Or saying bye to Nix?
Can't wait !
HELLO GUYS AND GIRLS!!! :D
Hi Ocean! Hi again, Lauren!
My speech is about
Hi Eve! Lookie!
http://blog-of-random-things.blogspot.kr/2012/06/pics-of-korea-part-one-animals.html
lying
Is it to get people not to lie?
Lots of people lie. Sometimes they have to, though. Only very rarely does someone HAVE to lie. Only if it's important no one knows the truth.
I don't know what I'm saying anymore.
Commented!
I've never told any big lie. Just little ones that don't affect anyone but my own conscience. I just get myself thinking "Did I REALLY have to lie then? Ah, but she/he didn't need to know anyway." they're not necessary lies, but at least they don't TICK PEOPLE OFF WHEN THEY EVENTUALLY FIND OUT
Hmmmm capitals
I saw, Eve! In the first picture of Pectu, it looks like he's smiling! :D
Yeah, I think those little lies are okay if they needed to be said.
xD
*frowns*
Aquinas College
really??
oh well, at least i know where to go!!
Hi Miss!
Hi Miss!
brb
Hi Miss! Lookie!
http://blog-of-random-things.blogspot.kr/2012/06/pics-of-korea-part-one-animals.html
I'm getting the second part ready now.
Hmm, maybe I might even have to do a third.
Okay, Nix!
I HAVE to go now
I meant bye to Nix but then as I went off and did something I suppose it was accidentally both! :L
I think that lying is a problem also I just found out that I can touch type!
oki doki Nix!
ive checked it Lav, i saw the previous messages
Done with part two! Gotta post a part three though.
http://blog-of-random-things.blogspot.kr/2012/06/pics-part-two-building-and-things.html
dcsmnxcz
Oh, that's okay then, Dark. WB. :)
What's touch type?
WB, Nix!
I'm speeding up how much I post now. Before, I wouldn't post for a while. Now five in two days! Watch out Dashboards! Here come the posts! :P
NO, i was not just eating chocolate sauce with a spoon and almost got caught by my dad
im holding back my posting
for now
posted and commented Lav!
touch typing is when u type whilst looking at the screen not at the key board
Thanks, Miss! I'll look soon!
I am tired
Oh, cool!
I can only do that sometimes. I don't do that 'home key' thing. My fingers just move all over the keyboard, yet I can still type fast!
Sort of. :P
gtgtgtg c ya guys
I usually do that, but things are more difficult tonight
Bye Trinity!
cool Lavender
I am too, a little. Not as much as the first few days I've been here though. Just like, I've-done-a-lot-in-the-day-and-now-wants-to-rest-a-bit-tired. Not that I need to take a nap or anything.
Bye Trinity, if you really are leaving! ;P
i might go to both signings
hehe
11am
i could get up for that
6pm
easy to get up on time
not that i sleep in the afternoon
You guys who get to see Derek are so lucky!
Hey, think you could tell him Lavender Hope from the blog says hi?
*looks hopefully at Miss, begging*
PLEASE???
I can't believe I've lost my phone - It's been missing for weeks, dead and I need it for the Gaeltacht on Sunday!! :(
I hope you find it, Dark!
will do Lav
hmmm, 21st of August is a tuesday morning WHEN i have the Book Week assembly
but at 11am, so i might just do the 6pm one
OR after the assembly i get my mum and/or dad to take me to the signing
hehehe
THANK YOU, MISS!!!
hope you find your phone eventually before Sunday Dark!
*winks*
no prob Lav!
I hope I can go...
Thanks Lav :) Hehe your nickname backwards is Val. OK yeah I think I'll go look for it now. Bye everyone! xxx
bye Dark!
Bye Dark! And that was totally coincidental! Had no idea when I took my name!
Bye Darquesse!
I hope you can too, Nix.
i read my little sis SP and my dad listens as well
im pretty certain he will take me
if not, my mum will
if not THAT, then i will beg my grandparents
How come Melbourne only gets him for one time at 5:15 PM in the city? UN-FAIR!
Be back soon
Bye!
5:15 in the city
bad timing, rush hour
bye Eve!
Melbourne, Brisbane and Christchurch get the low end of the deal...
Oh no!
It's on a Thursday! I can't go... the earliest I could go is about 7...
God damn it...
i wonder what schools hes coming to...
if he comes to my school, im going to die of awesomeness
Bye Eve!
I wish I could go to Australia someday... The only places I've been where to Korea and Japan(and other places in America, but that doesn't count). Even though I went/stayed a lot. I would just like to see something new, ya know?
That's horrible, Nix! Totally sucks!
*frowns*
Derek said that the public signings will take place in the evenings and on the weekends
11am on a Tuesday morning does not fit the criteria
*beats head against desk*
My one chance ever meeting him is now never going to happen...
*eyes widen*
THERE ARE NO PUBLIC SIGNINGS IN PERTH!!
ONLY PUBLIC EVENTS!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no!!!!!!!
not possible!!!!
That sucks for both of you! D:
I WANT A BOOK SIGNED!!
*starts sulking*
At least you get to see him...
Maybe ask, and he might be generous enough to do it. It would be cool if only you got a book signed, huh? Then you can tell him what an awesome Golden God he is. I bet he'll like that.
true...
but still
public events, really Derek??
where are our signings??
Well, there are many people how didn't get to see him yet either, Nix. Not just America, but I bet other places too.
*who
I'm in a little bit of a bad mood Miss, so you'll excuse me if I ignore you sulking about not getting a book signed
maybe he got them wrong
cuz he said that they would take place in the evenings and on weekends, but 11am on a Tuesday morning doesnt work with that discription
so maybe one of them is a signing
DEREK!!!
PLEASE COME ON SO MY BRAIN CAN BE UNFUZZLED!!
Yeah, but I was lookign forward, I got my hopes up, I thought I would, I had it planned out. Now none of it will ever happen
thats alright Nix
i do random stuff at desperate times
*sighs*
Derek, can you please come on
my brain is starting to hurt
*thinks*
surely one of them is a signing
surely
Dinner, bbl, bye!
Almost finished with the third(and last) post. Will do it when I get back. Bye!
Hey, I can comment again
This has been a crapy day
brb
I hope i was at least one of the 30..
I DID A HP FANFIC LAST NIGHT
2,000 words of pure awesomeness.
If I do say so myself...
I'll go post it.

http://cricketblob.blogspot.ie/
hay, I wrote a review of your series of books. I was hoping you would read it and leave a comment to tell me what you thought. you were my inspration to start reviewing books.
from cliodhna
ANYONE?
I am in SO much trouble!
*is almost in tears*
Gosh, sometimes, I HATE my so called friend! She's such a JERK!!!!
I read it Flame
Calm down
Miss, NJ told me he signs books at events too, at the end of his talk!
I might never be able to come here again. Or blog, or... ANYTHING! Snoopy little-
*is shaking in anger*
I'm tired.
What happened Lav?
YES!!!
THANKYOU FOR TELLING ME EVE!!!
Lav, i know how you feel
Flame, i read it
*does happy dance*
a talk AND a signing
boo-yah!
what's up?
@Lav
Lav
do you want to tell or not?
we understand if you dont want to tell
What happened, Lav?
No, you have no idea-
*sighs and puts head in hands*
My friend made me delete those posts...
And she-
*yells*
She's a stupid sneaky little jerk who called you guys freaks!
She wants to know what the name of my blog is and she's such a- UGH!
my writing is so errored...
I didn't tell her, but she told her mom about this and now-
Her mom is my guardian while I'm here and-
I can't tell you too much...
we are NOT freaks!!!
we are thoses who simply express our obsession on here and blog cuz we do
you can tell her that she should be ASHAMED!!
After today, you might not see me for a while... they wanted me to delete my blog...
She doesn't get it... I didn't tell her I had one because I knew she'd do this...
*scowles*
1) dont delete your blog
2) try and come on as much as possible!!
I might not be coming back for a while... they'll be watching me like hawks now. And after, I'll only be on for two hours at the most...
what do they have against your blog??
its not bad to have a blog!!
It's secret. That's why they're mad in the first place. I shouldn't even be telling you guys. But I trust you.
It's not the blog, it's those posts...
thats alright of you dont tell us
i understand
*hugs Lav*
Miss... no, never mind
Lav, I'm really sorry. I understand, and I hope you can sort this out (I'm also hoping that your "friend" apologises)
Thanks.
*smiles a little, then stops*
*sighs*
I have to go now. They wanted me off once I deleted it. I'm sorry.
*speaks sadly*
Bye guys...
*raises eyebrow*
did i say something thats odd Nix??
*smiles sadly*
bye Lav!
Miss, Don't kill him.
*follows Lav*
You DELETED it?
kill who??
*is quite confused*
Jeez...
*voice hardens*
She won't apologize. She never will.
Once, we got in a fight, she torn a book that I bought. It was one of my favorites. She also ripped up my writing and wrote mean things on it. She's always like this. Why am I still her friend? It's complicated.
Now I really have to go, before they come back. I'll try to come back, but I have to wait a few days. Bye guys, and I'll miss you.
Bye Lav :(
Flame, i checked Lav's blog
the 2 latest posts are gone
bye Lav
*smiles sadly again*
I know about friends like that...
i used to have "friends" like that
no longer my friends
i have epic friends now
My friends are fine, except for times like today when I just think "....ugh, I need better friends...."
He he, you know when I asked my mum if I could see Derek when he came, she asked what day, and I said it was on a thursday, and she said I cou;d have the day off
I was so shocked I told her it was after school
I FOUND IT:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwZ_bmNbdAw
here is something:
a true friend is someone who...
sticks up for you no matter what
is friends for YOUR personality
you change what you look like and they are truthful if they like it or not
they never lie
you could pull a prank on them and they will laugh it off
you forgive one another instently
THAT is what makes a good friend
oh, Nix you idiot...
I GET DAYS OFF TO SEE DEREK!
WOOOT!
He was so chuffed when i told i drove two hours to see and had taken the day off.
brb
dinner
LUCKY NIX!!
I mean, one of my friends, I don't know what to make of her. She's either bent on being me, or she wants us to have things in common, or she's just a real b***h. I mean, I take a Percy Jackson book to school coz I want to see if I like it, and then two days later EVERYONE'S into the series. And then someone makes a comment about how everyone's suddenly reading PJ, and my friend says: "Yeah, that's because they saw ME reading it, and once I read something, everyone wants to read it" WTF? Same with Skulduggery. I introduced the series to her, and now she seems to think SHE'S the Skylduggery freak of the school. The list goes on
That...took a LONG time to publish
Friends will leave when they feel insulted
Best friends will forgive you even if you don't know what you said wrong
Friends will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing
Best friends will kick the whole crowd's butt that left you
Friends only know a few things about you
Best friends could write a very embarrassing biography on your life story . . .
Friends borrow your stuff for a few days then return it
Best friends have had your stuff for so long they've forgotten it's yours
Friends
Fight
Red
Iguanas
Every
Near

Death
Saturday
That is the true meaning of 'friends'
