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...

Niamhy Jay said...

I dedicate this page to all that have won awards in the Blogland Awards. Even to those awards yet to be revealed. You are all truly deserving of them. You are all fantastic people and are really inspirational!

To Derek Landy for being just down right awesome and my absolute idol!

And to everyone who hasn't won an award, because you don't need one to prove how truly fantastic and wonderful you are. You ae unique and special in your own way and no one can EVER take that away from you.

So finally, I would like to basically dedicate this to everyone. You are all brilliant and I am lucky to have spoken to you even if it was only once and to those I have yet to speak with, you are all amazing.

Luciana said...

Sorry! I poofed. Trying to convince people to buy me books. >.<

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oh L xD

Luciana said...

It's raining. A lot.

Luciana said...

I might be getting 6 more books.
Not sure about the other 5, though.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Its muggy and overcast here

Luciana said...

There's just lots of rain, here. It's awesome!

There's also a chance I'll be getting more SP books! Woooo! XD

Star Inkbright said...

No rain here!!!:)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO indeed.

Luciana said...

OK! I'm back home.
I have the rest of the results, if you'd like them announcing?

Star Inkbright said...

YESSSSSS!

Please.

Luciana said...

Have we got anyone else here, though? *looks around*

Star Inkbright said...

Eeeeerrrmm . . . *shifts uncomfortably* . . . I don't think so.

Luciana said...

I might be able to get 7 more books, maybe 8 soon.
Then I might finally be allowed those US versions.
And maybe those other three books, I've seen.

Which'd make it up to 13 more books. If I can have all of those I have seen. *crosses fingers hopefully* I hope I can get them! So much. I don't even have all of the ones I have seen. Not ALL of them, anyway...Well...There are...Maybe...4 I haven't got at all, yet. Like the Battle Pack. And the DD normal hardback. And the two US books in original covers in hardback and paperback. Yeah, I think that's all.

Luciana said...

Sorry.
I get too excited.
I make up for not meeting Derek. *shrugs*
I'll meet him one day.


I'm using this time to write out all the things about people winning the awards!

Star Inkbright said...

Yays!

Luciana said...

MotoGP earlier mentioned Mortal Coil. I didn't believe it, at first. It was great.

Star Inkbright said...

Would have been. *has the sudden urge to deztrot my phone* :/

Star Inkbright said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I cant really make up for not meeting Derek

Luciana said...

I have to go for a little while.
I'll be back soon, though. So I can announce the rest of BA.

Star Inkbright said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oh new page!!!!

Uhm uhm uhm....

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I dedicate this page to a few things.

First to Erin Dalone, the mentally insane character I play. She has no memory of people. Her friend and doctor Jev has been building her memory up.

To my friend who is the reason Erin is insane. My friend got hurt. Got a concussion, boom. Woke up no memory. Had to re-learn EVERYTHING. She has something called Post Tramatic Brain Injury. No recollection. She doesnt know me. I hope she gets better. Its hard. She has a walker. Nobody knows if she'll recover. Ever.

To all the winners, congrats! You deserve it!

Flame Phoenix said...

But who, exactly? No one exactly likes me..

Luciana said...

I can't tell you who.
But the majority of votes went to you.
I think I voted for you, actually.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Congrats Flame :)

Flame Phoenix said...

Reallly?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oooh Horn of Plenty is playing

Luciana said...

Hello.

Congrats on winning anyway, Flame!

I'll be distant. Cooking for my brother, again. I need those 13 books! I might only be able to get 7, though. Maybe 8, if I am lucky!

Flame Phoenix said...

I need to get these 15 books from amazon. (yes, it's up to 15)

Luciana said...

I've found 13 SP books I can afford. And there are another 3 Large Paperbacks. Then there's the US ones, too. There are a lot I want to buy. *laughs*

Jealousssssssssss, Zaf!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*grins*

one plus side of America we got epic Kindle versions....

Thanks to Derek for that :D

Lynxia Lost said...

Decisions, decisions...

Do I prefer Tom Hiddleston in tight chain mail and with a sword or in a horned helmet and with a staff...?

Luciana said...

TIGHT CHAIN MAIL WITH A SWORD.
I think.


Hello, Lynx!

ZAF I WANT THOSE BOOKS SO MUCH. I am getting the first one in hardback and paperback, soon. PWF and TFO are more difficult to find, though!

Lynxia Lost said...

I honestly don't know...


*looks at BA list* Damn, I didn't win the one I wanted.

Luciana said...

Which one did you want, Lynx? *frowns* I've not finished announcing the winners yet, by the way.

Lynxia Lost said...

I wanted to win 'Most Story Ideas' but congrats to Flame anyway.

Luciana said...

*shrugs* That one shocked me, to be honest. I voted for the person I thought least likely to get it because I couldn't choose.

Lynxia Lost said...

Ah well, I'll try again next year if there is one next year. I doubt I'll win any others.

Luciana said...

There shall be one next yearrrrrr!
I hope.

Luciana said...

You got most active writer! Congrats, by the way!

Lynxia Lost said...

Most active writer? Yeah, I kinda expected that one.

Luciana said...

Who knows? You might get another award! :D

Lynxia Lost said...

I doubt it Luce but oh well, I guess I just need to try harder.

Luciana said...

I might announce the most inspirational one now...What do you think? It's one of my favourites, you see!

Lynxia Lost said...

Ooh1 I wanna know who won!!




You wanna read something?

Luciana said...

Yeah, sure!

I am just writing the speech-y thing for the inspirational one! :D

Lynxia Lost said...

Loki doki!
I'll post it now...

Lynxia Lost said...

OK, remember, this is from 'In The Beginning' so me and Nix don't know each other too well yet and he still treats me like he treats everyone else, with glares and a tongue of acid.



I swerved towards the pavement where Nixion stood and the bike rumbled to a stop. "Get on." I said, jerking my head to the back of the bike.
He looked at the black bike then at me, eyebrows arched. "Since when have you been able to ride a motorbike? You're fourteen or fifteen." he said.
I hesitated. "... Yeah, let's go with that." I said, nodding once.
"Wait, are you telling me you're older than that?" he asked.
I sighed. "I'm not telling you anything now get on the bike!" I snapped.
He gave me an odd look but still hesitantly climbed onto the back of the bike.
I re-plated my hair and tucked it through my belt. "Hold on tight." I said and kicked the engine back to life and swerved onto the road and recieving blasts of car horns. I went straight on at the cross roads and soon the houses started to fall behind. I started to push the engine and was soon taking very sharp corners at increasing speed. I could feel Nix's hands pressed against my side as the trees started to give way to the yellow banks of sand and the road started to become coated with dust but after a few sharp corners they had clenched into fists at my sides and he was clinging to the rim of my T-shirt. We swerved past a truck at nearly ninety miles an hour and I felt his whole body go rigid. I laughed and carried on but I could practically hear Nix grumbling except it was snatched by the wind.

Lynxia Lost said...

Hey Flame!

Luciana said...

LYNXIA THAT'S AMAZING.
I want to read moreeeeeeeeee.

Flame Phoenix said...

Conmesarations, Lynx. I won most story ideas. But, I don't know how the hell I did it.

Lynxia Lost said...

By having a lot of story ideas, maybe, Flame?

Thanks Luce!
That story is just basically a load of sketches I've put together over time.

Flame Phoenix said...

Seeing as we aren't electing a BL council anymore, I'm using that as an idea.

Flame Phoenix said...

Yeah, but I don't see WHO voted for me.

Luciana said...

Why aren't we electing a BL council?

Flame Phoenix said...

Who won best writer, was it Sparky?

Flame Phoenix said...

Who won best writer, was it Sparky?

Luciana said...

Why aren't we electing a BL council?

Luciana said...

Sparky won best writer! x3

Flame Phoenix said...

Because, seemingly everyone loathed the idea. Puts people above others.

Luciana said...

Ah, I see. That makes sense. I still like the idea. :3

Lynxia Lost said...

The idea was good, Flame.

Flame Phoenix said...

So do I. But, it was my idea, I didn't want to make the blog.

Flame Phoenix said...

Why isn't sparky emailing me back?

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi Kal!

Flame Phoenix said...

KAL:) RAWR*tackles in hugs*

iPod gonna die soon...

Luciana said...

The Most Inspirational Minion!

Okay, you all know this minion pretty well and, to be frank, she's one of the most inspirational PEOPLE I have ever known! She always knows what to say or do. She always stays strong no matter what life throws at her. She is brave and amazing. She is, to me, practically perfect in every way. I adore her and I wouldn't have anything left to look forward to, if it wasn't for her. She always manages to see the light in the shadows. She is strong both mentally and physically. I don't need to tell myself to be brave and to act strong, because I have her being the inspiration she is that is making me strong and making me be brave. I don't think so little of myself, anymore. The fact that she can put on a smile every day despite what's going on and the fact that she can still be herself makes me feel like I can do the same. I can be brave. I can be me. So, without further ado...































Keep on scrolling.















































































Carry on going~






















































Further down that that!

































































I would like to present the award for most inspirational minion to my blog-sister Lynxia Lost. She is absolutely amazing and everything about her is inspiring. She inspires me to become a better person. Thank you, Lynxia. *gives Lynxia a trophy of Link, Loki and Legolas*

Flame Phoenix said...

That's looooong.

Lynxia Lost said...

*is very very VERY shocked* OMGG, I honestly didn't think I'd get that one!!

*hugs* Now I have to go, damn tea, why do I have to eat? I wanna stay here.

Bye!!

Flame Phoenix said...

Bye lynx *hugs*

MSD.

Luciana said...

Bye, Lynxia! Congratulations! *hugs*

Luciana said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Flame Phoenix said...

Luciana said...

Flame Phoenix said...

Luciana said...

Oh, I see. I hope you...Un-die, soon? *hugs*
*laughs*
I make no sense...
