Double Rainbow

    EDIT
Another public event in Perth has been added to the Australian
tour, plus contact details for the South Perth Library event,
and more details about the second Adelaide event-

check three posts down for information. 
For those who have asked, the Brisbane event on the morning
of the 13th IS a public event. A few schools are coming along,
but it's still open to the public also- even though it's on at 11 AM
on a weekday...
EDIT: Also, the Southampton and Dulwich events have been
switched for the UK tour. The change has been made to the below
post...

We're having a pretty awful summer here in Ireland, but
sometimes you can find little moments of prettiness in amongst
all the dreary drabness.Like this double rainbow outside my
house...


I liked that double rainbow. It was a nice double rainbow. But I
didn't like it nearly as much as this guy liked HIS double rainbow...

Hello, Lynx.

Nixion Strange said...

No, I won't... I don't think... will I?
I'm not good with time differences

Noelle said...

Wait... Midnight in Aussie time equals.... what in US time.
*sigh* sorry, I can't comprehend anything. Least of all, simple math equations.

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Lynxia!

Luciana said...

You usually are, Nix. Give me a minute, I'll work it out.

Noelle said...

Lynx!! *hugs*
*hands Hedwig*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

time differences

*mutters*

very annoying....

i might get my iPad and check the time at different places or something....

Lynxia Lost said...

Hello!! All I know is, is that Nix and Zath are 9 hours ahead of me and Eve is 8 1/2 hours ahead.

Luciana said...

There you go, Nix. It'll be 9AM, for you. 8:30am for Eve.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Adra, i think America (or where ever you are) is the complete opposite of Perth in WA

Nixion Strange said...

9 in the morning? No way am I there

Lynxia Lost said...

7 am Sydney = 10pm England

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ok, 3 in the arvo WHERE in Aus??

e.g. Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, etc.

Luciana said...

Is it, Star?
I can't maths, right now...

Star Inkbright said...

What? *frowns*

OH. It's the OTHER way round the clock . . .

Nixion Strange said...

It's not 3 anywhere right now...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

7 am Sydney would be 5 am Perth!!

Luciana said...

In Adelaide it's 06:15pm, now.

Nixion Strange said...

Okay, I've got it now
Midnight there is 9 AM here, and I cannot do it

Star Inkbright said...

No, I was wrongo . . .

10 at night UK time would be perfect for me.

What's that in American time?

Noelle said...

it's 4:46Am here...

yeah. so at 5PM later tonight???

Lynxia Lost said...

I have to go! Bye!! *hugs*

Nixion Strange said...

Actaully, it's 6 17

Luciana said...

What time-ish can you do, Nix? I'll be up all night, again.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

it would be 7 am here!

and i dont not do early mornings well

Noelle said...

That was American time

Star Inkbright said...

Can you do 7 am Nix?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*do

bye Lynxia!

Noelle said...

Bye Lynx!!! *hugs*

Luciana said...

Bye, Lynx! *hugs*

Nixion Strange said...

Well, uh, if it's not tonight, which I can do if I get warning, it'd have to be 1 PM where I am, which is...

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Lynxia! *hugs*

Noelle said...

God it got really quiet

Star Inkbright said...

Fours Lynxia!

DAMN you Aussies. I love getting up early. I'm a early-night-early-morning person.

7 am UK would be 4 pm Aussies, can people do that? And what's it in American?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

no, i think we're all just trying to work out the time differences and when would be a good time for the Awards Adra...

Luciana said...

Star, I'd have to go to bed super early in that case >.< I rarely get up at 7. It's 6 or 8:30 when I get up...
I'm so particular.

Noelle said...

2 in the morning. American. That shouldn't be a problem...At least, for ME.
Maybe.

haha i know

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Star, remember the cities in Aus are different time zones, so which one are you talking about??

Star Inkbright said...

1 pm Aussie 2 am UK. No way José. I wouldn't be able to get to sleep again if you woke me up (inherited getting-to-sleep problems) and I am NOT staying up that long. I value my sleep.

Nixion Strange said...

Where most are Miss. Sydney, Melbourne yada yada
You're 2 hours behind that Miss, so it'd be 2 PM for you

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

thats good for me

Star Inkbright said...

Uh . . .

Melbourne/Sydney time, I think I'm talking.

Nixion Strange said...

1pm for us isn't 2am for you

Eve the ROCK said...

I wake up at eleven on no-school days.... And school starts again on Monday for me

Noelle said...

It's probably 2 am for us

Star Inkbright said...

Even though I like getting to sleep more than most, I'm actually really unaffected by tiredness compared to most people . . .

Luciana said...

I'm starting to think this was the worst idea I ever had >.<

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i think i dont go back to school for at least 1 more week or something...

Star Inkbright said...

Noelle said...

Hahaha....


Oh the irony

Nixion Strange said...

AH, it's letting me comment again

Star Inkbright said...

I wake up before-seven on weekdays usually, and seven-ish on weekends, or eight-ish if I got a pretty late night.

Star Inkbright said...

a

Eve the ROCK said...

Is this even going to work? How about you just post the winners and we find out when we find out?

Noelle said...

STUPID CONFLICTING ERRORS


LET ME COMMENT, DAMMIT!

Nixion Strange said...

*shoots a glare at Dark*
If we wait another week, we might be able to tell everyone about the time, so everyone can be there

Star Inkbright said...

Yeah, why not?

Noelle said...

Heyyyy!!!
Whats with the glare!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

not bad
*nods*

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, are we ALL getting conflicting edits then?

*laughs* And we all thought we were the only ones.

Nixion Strange said...

The irony comment

Nixion Strange said...

I didn't think that

Luciana said...

I was thinking the same as Eve, to be honest...

I'll just shut up and let you decide whatever. Let me know what you decide and I'll try my best to do whatever. You just have to take into account that I am only here for one more week.

Star Inkbright said...

i

Eve the ROCK said...

Well, it's going to be even harder in a week, because of SCHOOL.

Noelle said...

Hey, I still don't even know what it meant. Just what Star said... was funny :P

I'm down with another week

Star Inkbright said...

o

Luciana said...

I'm not getting conflicting edits...

Nixion Strange said...

*swears*
I wanted a live thing. That would've been better

Nixion Strange said...

*rolls eyes*
We still have weekends Eve

Noelle said...

I hate my stupid laptop. It's got the circuitry of a CELLPHONE

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, I mean, we're NEVER going to get everyone here at the same time for a big ceremony, we have stuff to do! Derek didn't negotiate a time for us all to be here to see the cover for KOTW, just post the winners and there'll be less running around

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but less excitment Eve
Whatever

Luciana said...

Aussies, pick a time. I'll try to be there for that time. OK?

Star Inkbright said...

OH!

Yeah, it's ironic. *grins at Dark*

All through my residential I've been moaning about how I want more sleep, and yet by the time we got home my mum was saying how everybody else looked absolutely shattered but I didn't. :)

Nixion Strange said...

Is this talking the same as emailing and waiting for a reply later? I hate that

Noelle said...

Okay... NOW I'm slightly sleepy...
But its 5am... *hits a wall*

ARGHHH

so what's the plan

Star Inkbright said...

u

Nixion Strange said...

Time? From 1 onwards tomorrow, and I don't know the time for you
But there's still the fact no one knows about this. We need to tell everyone

Noelle said...

Yeah it's ironic cuz... yeah.

Noelle said...

well, Nix don't you have loads of emails, mainly from the Commpetition

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

well, i dont have a clue on how this is happening

im not even sure if im part of the Awards...

Star Inkbright said...

Yeah. :) Ironicccc.

1 pm onwards Aussie. So, 4 am onwards UK. I still haven't worked out that in America.

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but comp is different, I don't reply to thoughs unless I need to tell them something

Luciana said...

I have people on Skype and I have tons of e-mails myself, if that's of any use?
I have Em and Zaf on Facebook, too.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

im gonna be on at 11am Perth time, to be sure...

Noelle said...

Oh...

And future reference, US is 5 hours behind UK

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

yeah, ive got my emails and Skype, but i dont have many Bloglandians on Skype....

Noelle said...

It'd be 11PM eastern Atlantic... Backwards the farther west... about 8-9PM for West coast

Nixion Strange said...

I know nearly everyone's emails, thanks to the Comp

Star Inkbright said...

I need to tell Eve I'm considoring quitting my job as her Inky Octopus Servant, because she let the viles people misuse bananas. She BETRAYED me.

Noelle said...

I don't have any bloglandians on skype... I have a couple emails, and Em on Facebook

Noelle said...

*raises eyebrow*

Eve the ROCK said...

Well, seeya!

Luciana said...

There's also the blog itself...

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Eve!

Noelle said...

That's good...

BYEEEE! *hugs*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

bye Eve!!

Luciana said...

I can tweet NJ, too. Robin has liked my page on FB, I'm sure I could get a hold of her if we need her.

Star Inkbright said...

Thanks Dark!

So, 1 pm onwards Australia (Sydney etc.) = 4 am onwards UK = 11 pm America (where Dark lives)

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but not everyone stays updated with it long enough to know
Okay, we need a time now, where most englishminons and eussieminons can be on

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

thats good enough for me

Star Inkbright said...

Fours Eve!

Luciana said...

Bye, Eve!

Noelle said...

Yeah...If anyone finds Val and whoever is out in Seattle and stuff, tell them 11 East coast time, so... what, 8-9 theirs

Nixion Strange said...

What time is it exactly? The start?

Star Inkbright said...

Can you do 4 pm Nix?

That would be 8 am UK and *thinks* 3 am America eastern Atlantic . . . Oh, not so good then . . .

Luciana said...

Nix can you do 8PM?

Zathract Mist said...

So what's happening with Blogland Awards?

Noelle said...

Hun, please. I just stayed up all night.
I could do that... I dunno about Zaf though

Nixion Strange said...

Okay
8pm here. Midday for you, and 7 for american

Luciana said...

Hello, Mist.

And we've not really got a clue. I should just stop thinking, I think. That or learn to think before I say something. >.<

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

very good then

decided?

Nixion Strange said...

8pm easy. I might have to duck out for dinner, but it'll be brief, and you can go on without me

Zathract Mist said...

8pm tonight?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

tomorrow Zath

Nixion Strange said...

Tomorrow Mist. We need time to tell everyone

Star Inkbright said...

Noelle said...

The moment the sun comes up, I'm going to bed... so tired.

Worst part is, I didn't even mean to do an all nighter!!!
Never done one before, also...
Huh... time passes really weirdly

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Luciana said...

If anyone comes across a box set of SP that could possibly be shipped to the UK PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASEEEEEEEEEEE let me know!
I think they look gorgeous and it'd save so much money. :D

Nixion Strange said...

Luce, could you please post the time of the blogland awards?
I'll be emailing everyone the time as well

Luciana said...

Yes, I shall! I'll do that now!
I just got fascinated by a book about SP...

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, and who's hosting? Like, reading out the awards and stuff. I'd be happy to, but I'm nominated for a few, so I'd have to be told before hand

Luciana said...

If Andrew can it'll be him. If Andrew can't I'll probably end up doing it and roping in a few Bloglandians.

Nixion Strange said...

Unless I do every award except the ones I was nominated for. Or I just stay out of it, sorry

Nixion Strange said...

Andrew? Does he have an account?

Star Inkbright said...

*reappears nomming apple* Sorry, I left for longer than I meant to.

Nixion Strange said...

WB Starfish

Luciana said...

Andrew has an account, yes. But he is first and foremost a Facebookian. He's sometimes on Blogland, very rare though.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i could do it, as far as i know, i havent been nominated for anything


L, remember operation Pen Pal!!

Luciana said...

WB, Star!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

WB Star!

Nixion Strange said...

Okay. I think people would react better to someone they know, but you also need someone not nominated, so Andrew is really one of the few options
Miss, you were nominated for changed blogland the most

Luciana said...

I need to get some stamps, Cain! I am going to the shop later to get some stamps so I can send the letter I wrote! x3

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello...?

Luciana said...

Everyone I talked to were all for Andrew helping out. :3

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Saprky!

Luciana said...

Hello, Sparky!

Lavender Hope said...

I just read the comments about changing the BAs. When will it be???

(yeah, skimmed through the rest of the comments...)

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

yay L!!

i just saw Nix, i checked

Nixion Strange said...

With the votes, sure. But with the actual presentation...
never mind, ignore me

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Lav!
7pm tomorrow your time

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

hi Lav!

hi Sparky!

Lavender Hope said...

Wait, did you guys vote through email or blog?

I wasn't completely here for the nominating and I'm still a bit confused about it...

Nixion Strange said...

Me emailed this friend of Luce's our votes

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

its on the Blog Lav

Luciana said...

Hello, Lav!

Just a quick question:
Are we announcing the awards /here/ or on the Blog?

Nixion Strange said...

One the blog. Make a special post. That way random people won't barge in
Can I... Help organise it?

Nixion Strange said...

I have a little experience. I'm always having to help my mum when she's doing stuff like this

Luciana said...

Loki doki, then!

And I need to just talk to some people. I'll be back shortly!

Lavender Hope said...

Oh okay. Yeah, I think I missed that.

I dont know, L. Im thinking of different ways both would be cool, but I'm leaning more towards announcing them on this blog.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

announce them on the Blog

ok L!

Star Inkbright said...

HI LAV!!!!!! *hugs*

I SAY BOTH.

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah, that's true Nix. About te random people popping in thing.

Kay, L!

Zathract Mist said...

Dinner, be back soon!

Nixion Strange said...

I imagined, in the comment section, that there would be all these people wating, like here, but on that blog, and then Andrew would comment on who won, each thing individually, and the person who thank them, and make a small speech on the spot, and keep doing that until all awards are given
Huh?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ok Mist!

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Mist!

Lavender Hope said...

HI STAR! *hugs back, grinning*

Guess what? I got(and finished) the last Artwmis Fowl! :O all I'm saying is it was awesome!

Sparky Braginski said...

*barges up to Nix, picks him up and chucks him in the lake, as ungracefully as humanly possible*

Nixion Strange said...

This is what I get for comign up with an idea?
*gets out and tackles Sparky*

Star Inkbright said...

Fours Zath!

I saw, Lav. You have no idea how jealous I am. :(

Lavender Hope said...

That sounds good, Nix. :)

Bye Mist!

*remembers something*
Shoot! Dinner here is usually around 7. I might not be able to be here.

And I'd like to be on my computer when it's happening...

I'll think of a way.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Sparkarano!

Sparky Braginski said...

*picks Nix up, blurs into a tree, ramming him partly into the trunk, lifts him so his feet are a few inches off the ground and presses his neck into the tree*

Don't test me.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i think thats a good idea Nix

and i got nominated for one award

*laughs*

Star Inkbright said...

DO.

Pwease.

Luciana said...

Bye, Mist!

I'm back- kind of.

These damn Blogland Awards were the worst idea in this goddamn world.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

no, they werent

the worst was the invention of blinds
*nods*

Star Inkbright said...

*tilts head on one side* How about me? Am I allowed to test you? (Yes, SP reference!)

Nixion Strange said...

You know, never get close to a bone break with long arms
*reaches out and taps Sparky's collourbone, breaking the whole thing*
*falls to the ground the kicks Sparky's legs from under her*

Sparky Braginski said...

*bites his ankle and shocks him unconscious through my teeth*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*laughs*

what about, Star?

Nixion Strange said...

Luce, do you like my idea? Please like it
And if Andrew can't host, I know plenty of people availble

Lavender Hope said...

Wb, L- kind of. ;P

And I can't believe how many times Nix nominated me for something. It was a lot of them!

Star Inkbright said...

THE WORST WAS THE INVENTION OF BANANAS. *has seriously gone off bananas*

Nixion Strange said...

*is fallling into unconciousness*
Never... mess with me...
