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...

    I don't remember O_o



    WELL
    I claim this page for Hellboy, Kallista, Octaboona, and Gepard!

    They'll appear momentarily...

    BUT WE'RE AWESOME!
    Because I say so...
    And lots of OTHER reasons, of course.

  6. But Skyril posted two comments so Hellboy got third comment.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I thought the number you got counted on the person to comment. Like, Sky commented first so she's first, Hell commented after her, so he's second and etc.

    I forgive you too for the bad grammar...
    ~narrows eyes~
    Just don't do it again!

    :P

    That's me teasing again... I'm a teaser, in case you were wondering. I got it from my dad. He even uses initials these days -"IBCFT" = I blame Charity for that. :P

    ReplyDelete
  20. Three conflicting edits in a row -.-

    ANYWAY what I was TRYING to say...

    I should get back to writing too but this is so much fun!

    ReplyDelete
  21. ~giggles~
    Kallista, that timing was perfect!
    Here, you can say, "IBSFT" "I blame Skyril for that"

    ReplyDelete
  22. Cool! Top 100! I'm glad I checked the blog before I went to bed, but still only one comment. Cause I gotta go to bed. :P

    Derek!!! That's so cool! I also saw a double rainbow before, and it lasted 20 minutes or more!!! The longest time I've ever seen a rainbow stay. When I get on the computer tomorrow, I'll watch the video. ;) Good night, Derek!!!

    Night anyone else who's here!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think I'll come straight on here from now on. Instead of chatzy.

    ReplyDelete
  24. @Gep
    YAY! Write RoT!

    @Derek
    It's MY unbirthday today as well!!
    Isn't that just fantastic!?!?

    If you come on, I'll wish YOU a very happy unbirthday :D

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ireland's summers are possibly the WORST summers ever. But we had a cool rainbow in Armagh yesterday... I went out to try and find the pot of gold... and, again, I didn't find it... But I'm not giving up... I want to find it :'( (I have a strong imagination, hehe :P

    ReplyDelete
  26. A very happy unbirthday to me!

    ReplyDelete
  27. @Gep
    You should do both! I usually do :D

    See, I just have the comment tab open over the chatzy tab so that I can see what's being said at chatzy, and I can comment on the blog too! :3

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh, so we're all here now! Hello!

    Awwww that's such a pretty rainbow....

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hi people who are arriving...sorry for being distant, people who were already here :/

    Hey, if I upload a video to my blog, would you watch it? It's linked to the Matrix, and I think I've, *cough* forced *cough* some of you to watch it already, but...it's all detective-y and epica...

    Please watch it?

    ReplyDelete
  30. ValkyrieCain: I like the terrible weather we're having. :P

    ReplyDelete
  31. HELLBOY I JUST WATCHED THE MATRIX O.O

    ReplyDelete
  32. Sorry Hellboy, I can't watch any videos right now. Couldn't even watch the rainbow video :(

    ReplyDelete
  33. DEREK!!! There's a horse in that picture!! :D I looovveee horses, I go to lessons and shows and do jumping and dressage, but I'm not allowed to ride for 3 weeks because I got kicked off over a bush the other day and sprained my wrist and hurt my leg :'(

    ReplyDelete
  34. COOLIOS GEP :D HI EVE, HI CALAMITY, HI VAL!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Gepard: I watched it this afternoon, myself. Wasn't it good?!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Calamity: Yes, it was insanely awesome! And it was made in 1999 which makes it crazy how they made those effects! >u<

    ReplyDelete
  37. @Sky/Hell/Kal/Octa

    You should all write me a birthday post because I see none of you have. ¬¬

    ReplyDelete
  38. Awww you guys saw the matrix *sobs* They grow up so fast...

    ReplyDelete
  39. YOU'LL LOVE THIS VID, THEN

    BECAUSE IT'S ALL BASED ON THE MATRIX STORYLINE

    BUT IT'S PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR STUFF

    ReplyDelete
  40. Gepard: What, really? But - it was... wow. Apparently there are a bunch of sequels as well. So I'm going to attempt to find those as well.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Calamity: The sequels are meant to be so terrible.

    ReplyDelete
  42. @Gep
    LOL, you're right!
    We should!

    I'm just sorta kinda terribly at those... based on how it went last year with Hellboy's and some other peoples birthdays xD
    I only finished about half of it :P

    ReplyDelete
  43. But Gep your birthday isn't todayyyy.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Mr Landy,

    Why do I feel like the smallest person here???? No, that's my question. My real question is: Do you like Spiderman??? The new movie, the older movies, the comics (I admit I have not seen one comic in my life) or just the general idea of a person who can spin a web any size, catch thieves just like flies, swing from a web, basically do whatever a spider can, do you like Spiderman??

    ReplyDelete
  45. @Kal My birthday was in May . . . no one wished me happy birthday!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Suddenly, I'm remembering Skulduggery and how he didn't give Val a present for Christmas when it wasn't Christmas Day...

    Fortunately I'm nice ;]

    ReplyDelete
  47. MSD :)

    Aw shucks, but the first Matrix was brilliant. The concept in itself is far-fetched and realistic at the same time...

    ReplyDelete
  48. Okay yep, HI EVERYONE! *hugs everyone* *guves everyone a sheet of pink paper*

    ReplyDelete
  49. Man its been a while...
    *Whistles thoughtfully*

    ReplyDelete
  50. Thanks Eve! Are you feeling better from when I last spoke to you? :3

    Which ones do you prefer, the new Spiderman movie with Andrew Garfield or the older one with Toby McGuire?

    ReplyDelete
  51. @Gep
    UH-HUH
    There was even a POEM I sent to you on Wattpad ~Nods~
    Plus SOMEBODY [me, in case you were wondering] wished you happy birthday on deviantart!
    ~Points to comment section dramatically~

  52. BACK!

    SORRY FOR LEAVING!

    HI ALL :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. @Sky Okay . . . well, besides you!

    ReplyDelete
  54. ALSO SKYRIL, GEP, CALAMITY

    OF COURSE THERE ARE SEQUELS TO THE MATRIX

    AND THEY ARE WORTH WATCHING, BECAUSE THEY EXTEND THE STORYLINE! IT'S LIKE LOTR! ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY WATCH THE FIRST LOTR, AND IGNORE THE OTHERS ;D

    ReplyDelete
  55. HELLBOY I'VE NEVER WATCHED LOTR NOR DO I EVER PLAN TO WATCH IT :D

    ReplyDelete
  56. @Hellboy
    First, you got comment 100!
    ~cheers~
    ~hands purple lollipop~
    CONGRATULATIONS!

    Secondly, I don't watch R movies. I only watched the first Matrix on tv because they had cut stuff out :P
    But the first one WAS brilliant. :D

    ReplyDelete
  57. @Gep
    LOTR IS AWESOME!
    Especially that one deleted scene where the elf and the dwarf are having a drink off ~giggles~

    ReplyDelete
  58. @hellboy

    I believe they call that blasphemy where we're from :P

    ReplyDelete
  59. @ Kal

    *Alex hug*
    Whatever that is..

    ReplyDelete
  60. Comment 100, woooooh :) *noms lollipop*

    :O Surely Matrix isn't rated R in the USA. Yeah, there's one sex scene in the second movie, but it's not too bad and shouldn't be something they would raise the rating for...


    ...well...there IS an awful lot of violence...maybe that's why the rating is so high...

    ReplyDelete
  61. ALEX
    YOU MUST HUG KALLIE OR ELSE YOU MIGHT BE STALKED IN THE NIGHT AND HAVE ROTTEN WALNUTS THROWN AT YOU RATHER UNCEREMONIOUSLY!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Hi Alex!!!

    Calamity, I'm fine. My mummy is quite fine. Everything is fine! But most importantly of all, I'm fine!!! I can't decide between the two, I ADORE the first three movies, they would've been my favourite, but my crush on Andrew Garfield pretty much balances it out xD

    ReplyDelete
  63. *cringes*

    I gotta go finish this page guys..

    *Slips away soundlessly*

    ReplyDelete
  64. Gep: You...I can't even... I don't...

    ...EVERYONE loves LOTR.

    ReplyDelete
  65. @Hellboy
    I haven't a clue why :/
    It's a shame. The first Matrix seemed just fine. I don't know why they rated it like that. I think it's unfair ~glares at rating dudes~

    ReplyDelete
  66. Hey calamity, im not sure we've met?
    But i do remember someone with a cookie monster avatar...

    ReplyDelete
  67. Cya Alex and Gep! *waves and then hugs*

  70. I don't think we have met, Alex.
    I'm Cal, and although my avatar may come off as a bit immature, let me assure you, I'm not, aha. Good to meet you!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Alright, it's 12:20am now. My dad's starting to get up and move around :/ I'm going to go to bed now.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Anyway, I was hoping that you could comment and reassure me that my writing was okay just for one more day, because i pick the friends who are best at fibbing :)

  92. *eats pink Smarties*

    it was my mums birthday today and we had to go to a restraunt (which ROTATES) and eat there

    my complaint: i had to wear a freakin dress!!!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Dresses aren't as bad as I used to think. I conquered my fear of wearing a dress last Friday! *is proud of self*

    ReplyDelete
  94. it was great though, the restraunt

    but the dress, i hate it!!!!!

    oh, my grandma got my sisters and i to have our hair done by a friends mum who happens to be a hairdresser

    my hair looked awesome

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  98. Bye Skyril!

    Anyone want to read something that just popped into my head?

    ReplyDelete
  99. Sure, Lynx!

    I'm in a 'read all the things' kinda mood! x3

    ReplyDelete
  100. I know, I just got back from Ireland where I consistantly wore jeans and 2 jackets. with the hoods up. But it was nice. Lovely, yes. Given that I was leaving 40 celcius, It was a relief.

    I got to see O'Connell street and ha'penny bridge, where I laughed uncontrollably at the thought of Skulduggery and Val kicking up a storm around there. Yes.

    But I didn't find you. Blech.

  101. "She is coming." the woman said softly.
    She stood alone in her mind but in reality she stood surrounded by people.
    "Is she okay?" one asked.
    "Someone phone an ambulance!" called another.
    All the while the woman stood still, vacant expression and saying softly "She is coming."
    An old woman walked up to her and placed a wrinkled hand on her arm. "My dear, who is coming?" she asked.
    The younger woman continued to stare into the space in front of her blankly. "She is coming." she said.
    "But who is 'she'?" the old woman asked.
    The younger woman's head slowly turned to her right and looked down on the older woman. "Elaisse."

  120. Read this, tell me what you think!

    "Hello?" she called down the alley.
    A small scratching sound reached her ears.
    The woman whirled. "Hello?!" she called again.
    She was afraid.
    A hand clasped on her shoulder.
    "AAAAAGGRRRRRHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" she screamed as something dragged her to the floor.

    ReplyDelete
