Right then, I have here the details of the Ireland/UK tour. My publishers do like to keep me busy, the little scamps, but this tour isn't quite so arduous as they've been in the past- probably because they know I'll have just come back from the ANZ tour, and will be feeling pretty sorry for myself...

oh! is there one for names?
Yes fear of dinosouars that interact with you
Fear of names: Nomatophobia
Fear of dinosaurs: Ornithoscelidaphobia.
wow, thats a long one!
OH MY GOD THIS IS THE FUNNIEST CHINDUGGERY/CHINGRACE STORY I HAVE EVER READ.
what is it Eve???
Not as long as Paraskevidekatriaphobia. Fear of Friday the 13th :P
I feel so obsessed. I went off Blogland 11:30pm I stayed up til 4:38am reading The Faceless Ones and starting Dark Days.
Oh but SPOILER ALERT
thanks Eve!
*runs off to go read it*
That was hilarious!!!!
OH MY GOD!!
THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!
Reading that again, I should not have shown anyone that
Don't mind me, I have this thing where I feel guilty over showing someone something that's slightly inappropriate if they're younger than me, even if it's by a day. I've kinda been programmed to.
Priceless!!!!
*goes back to tree*
i have cone to the conclusion Derek wont Blogspeak
thats alright Eve
if you feel bad, dont
me and my friends talk about inapproprete stuff EVERDAY
and i probably spelt that wrong
Celine....gave Nikki....'the talk' at lunch.
oh god
I can't really help it. I either avoid it completely, or i feel really really horrible afterwards and try to tak it back. It started when I showed my little brother a sad story about a girl who became an orphan when her family died in a car crash (it was at the end of a DS game I mean wtf) and I got a HUGE talking to by my parents. I was never really the same again. :P
I don't know who Celine and Nikki are
Be spared Eve. They wrote the letter to Derek with me
ohhhh
I think I am right! See Derek isnt speaking!
*glares at his publishers*
spare him!!! We miss him!!!
Derek is a busy soul
Yup.
Very busy....
very busy preparing for his Aussiminions and most likely practising to NOT laugh at our Aussie accents
thats my opinion
I apologize for me for the past few days~
I've been a little more...On edge, than normal...
But tomorrow should be good. People from Cambridge are coming in to talk to us and I got invited, so...Yay!
I don't think I'd be able to go to Cambridge, though..
hi L!
Hello.
Wbd- making chips because my brother is useless and doesn't know how to cook...
Hi Luce!
You know what would be weird? My friend's giving me a call tomorrow (ahem today) apparently, but I sleep til eleven :P
"Hello, is can I talk to Eve?"
"No"
"..."
"coz she's asleep"
"..."
Me: Okay, okay I'm awake
"....Weirdness."
oki doki L
Hi guys!
Can you do me a HUGE favour and read this for me?
http://bubblesforblood.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/childs-play.html
It's not story or anything but something that is for the good of the world.
My friend is from Cambridge, JJ you know her L
hi Lynxia!
will do!
Thanks guys! Stella Renard (nobody ever remembers her because her account broke) is one of the people who made it.
Hello.
heya Birdie!!
No longer distant- I refuse to do it 'cause he's shouting at me..
Really, Zaf? Awesome!
Hello, whoever appeared.
Hi Lynxia!
Hi Miss Cain! Up late again, I see.
*is cutting out the horns for Loki helmet* It now looks kinds like a helmet...
Hi L.
My dad found a whole bunch of old tapes in our basement. We're listening to the Pogues now.
Birdie, what was the characters name again??
... I might need more card...
Pogues is kisses in Gaelic.
Deryn.
*yawn*
It's 11:40, and I'm still not awake...
http://myoddandawesomelife.blogspot.com.au/
Birdie!! Lookie!! and anyone else!!
OK, will go look!
I can't comment, Missy, but it's really good!
I just cooked and didnt burn the house down :D
*laughs*
*claps*
well done Zaf!
Congrats Zaf!!
Gotta go...
ok
bye Birdie!
Wooo! Go Zaf! *bakes a cake for Zaf*
Bye Phoenix!!
Right, now to stick the horns together...
Bye, Mith!
OK, I /might/ be a tad distant, after all....
*groans*
i better go, i have to get up at 7:30
bye!
Bye Missy!!
Bye, Cain.
You know, making a Loki helmet is harder than it looks. Really fun though!!
Me crazy
Me think nobody else is alive out there...
I want to punch him~
One of my ex-admins. He had to be removed, so now he's just gobbing at me. ¬_¬
Hi people!
Wbd, writing. I have to finish my competition entry before tomorrow, coz I'm going camping with school for three days and can't write it then.
Ouch, tell him to go away because you're more awesome than he is and he's really just jealous.
Hi Star!
I'm alive- last I checked, anyway.
Hello Random Comments! I don't believe we've met. *shaves hand violently*
Hey, Star.
And he'd not listen. Bea would boycott the page, too. He's such a dickhead and he's so fucking arrogant. ¬_¬
Hi Random!
He's an idiot, L. Just ignoree him.
I agree Star, ignore him and he'll go away.
Hello, Random.
Lynxia- /shaves/ hand?
I'm too stubborn. *creys and hugs everyone* You're so amazing! <3
*huggles back*
. . .
Ohhhhhhhhkay . . .
Ah, sorry. Stupid typos...
*shakes
*hugs back* You are too Luce! If not for you, I might never have made my own helmet.
Luciana- are those ARCs or something in your profile picture?
Who here is in The Competition?
Lynxia- you scared me for a second there. I was worried I wouldn't want to meet you.
They're SP books, Random.
The Competition.....
Mysterious.....
until you explain it.....
NOW!!!!!
I scare a lot of people. *shrugs* You get used to it! *smiles evilly*
I Know, but I haven't seen ones with the white on them, so i wondered if they were ARCs, or Advance Reader Copies.
ARCs? What're they...? *is confuzzled*
Awwhh. Wait...How does that even make sense, Lynx? What did I do? :O
*points to his comment above*
Star-
Ohh~
I don't know how you even GET ARCs! *frowns*
Well Luce, I was saying how you couldn't get a helmet anywhere so you said I should make one!
I did...?
Oooohhh. My brain is better than I thought! Yay! x3
Luciana- copies of the book sent to press and reviewers before the release of the book. they aren't the finished product, with final edits, so they aren't done as nice hardcovers in the way the for-sale ones are.
too late...
Oh, you mean proof copies? I have one of them, yeah.
Luciana- Why are they different, though? where are they from (and you can occasionally get ARCs either secondhand or if you are a journalist/journalist's friend)
Yes it is Luce!! When it's done, I'll post pics!!
what are the ones in the picture, though?
And what country are you in?
Just standard English paperbacks, Random.
They're usually called ARCs in America.
Okay, couldn't tell what there binding was. I don't have the paperbacks. British Shipping... :(
I don't even have Death Bringer yet. :(
the paperbacks have colored (or coloured) paper on the edges?
I'm English. I live in England.
I bought them brand new. Every single one of them~
They were the original paperbacks released in the UK. Then, as there were more fans, the covers changed to suit a wider audience and so you get the new paperback. *points at blog post about her books*
are you all waiting for me to fill up this page so you can be first?
No, I'm making my helmet so I'll be distant.
1?
1?
1?
Yay!!
Look up 54° North on YouTube and you'll get a video of all these string players playing the Concerto Grosso by Vaughan Williams. One if those string players is me - it was my Birmibgham performance, the one I was on a coach for six hours for:)
hi guys! Just finished the last EVER Artemis Fowl!
Ahhh... being an American fan who discovered the books just before Faceless one's publication (and then waiting for an American Dark days before realizing I could get them from Britain since America was being stupid), I didn't know that there were two versions... should have paid more attention.
No spoilers Stella, I still need to read it.
Right, brb while I write the ded...
lynxia- "The lady doth protest to much, methinks"
*of
*Birmingham
NO SPOILERS, STELLA.
*is dying to read it*
Okay, I have PWF and TFO with coloured edges and plain edges. PWF is green. TFO is blue.
I still need SP with orange pages, though.
"I'm just distant because I'm making a (Loki?)helmet, I'm not waiting to get to first"
"1st?"
"1st?"
"1st?"
"1st?"
1st?"
Really?
HOW, STELLA??? IT ONLY CAME OUT TODAY!!!!
hi! No spoilers, I promise. I've go it coz I've got a kindle.
That's incredibly bizarre, Luciana. but then, I'm American, and we only got a single Hardcover edition of the first 3 of the 9 books, so i shouldn't talk.
Why are our covers always so different (for just about every book, not just the SP ones)?
Right, I think this dedication is long overdue and somebody should have done it ages ago. Yes, that's right, I'm dedicating to Luciana Scáth.
She is like my sister on here and definitely one of my best friends! She has got me to do so much and we always have a good laugh and a joke here too and if we need help, we know we can count on each other.
So yeah, she's a great person and really deserves this dedication and she deserves the Strongest Minion award too because she is as tough as nails but all warm and gooey on the inside. Like a... A... No, I forget what but it is something. Maybe a cream egg? I don't know.
Anyway, to Luciana!
*hugs*
*got, not go.
Oh well Random, does it matter? No, so drop it.
great dedication, Lynxia/ Shads (I think)! =-), L
you said it, Lynxia, not me. I'm just quoting Hamlet...
for no reason whatsoever...
not because you lied...
Is it a Loki helmet, though?
Lied? I said I'm not waiting. Did I wait? No, I went and got it.
Yes, a Loki helmet.
*agrees wholeheartly with the ded* You deserve a ded, LLLLL.
You said that wasn't why you were quiet and that those were not your intentions... close enough.
*searches memory for another good Shakespeare quote*
The count down for Kingdom Of the Wicked seems to be going veeerrrryyy slowly.
From the Avengers movie? the one with the funny curly bit?
Not just Avengers, and they're horns not 'curly bits' but yes. That one. The staff too.
Hi Sapphire!
Its going too fast, Sapphire. I haven't gotten Death Bringer yet. If I don't get it soon, I'll feel morally obligated to wait till September so I can save on shipping.
it does, Sapphire! My friend can recite the whole of the passage 'to be or not to be' . It REALLY freaks me out. She's only read it once but she's got photographic memory, lucky thing.
Hi Sapphire! I have a character called Sapphire.
I know, but I'm checking. there are different ones in the comics, and, of course, in the original Norse myth. And I haven't seen Avengers, and couldn't remember if they counted as horns... i was trying to avoid your righteous anger...
actually, my countdown actually IS going slowly... in fact, it's stopped!
The one in the films is better to the comics. As for the actually mythology... *screams* IT'S SO SAD!!!!!!! *collapses on floor wailing*
Its still going on mine, so its not the site. they aren't announcing a postponement or anything... I HOPE.
no, I expect it's just my computer. It keeps shutting down on me, which is VERY annoying.
and then there are all the other stories that have Loki but aren't Norse myth or Marvel-related. I seem to recall one involving dragons...
why does it look like that, anyway? is it explained in one of the movies?
I don't know that but I have read some... Uh... Disturbing fan fic. I got half way through, realised where it was going and just went back to making the helmet.
No, it's just his helmet.
i think he wears it in some of the comics, too, but not always.... I don't actually read comics very often (practically never)
LYNXIA! *has only just read the ded* *tacklehugs*
You're so amazing. I cannot believe you! <3 You're...IHAVEMYNEXTDEDICATION.
Also, LYNX FOR STRONGEST MINION AWARD!
And, Star! THANKS.
ANDDDDDDDDDDDD,
LYNXIA OH MY GOLDEN GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! You're my family. LET ME ADOPT YOU.
*is tackled* Thanks Luce but you deserve the award more! Adopt me? ... Right...
(One horn stuck on...)
i don't read fan-fic. there are some Norse-based novels out there. And I remember, Loki wasn't a dragon, but there was something like a dragon. involved
stupid period. it goes after the last word in a sentence, not the second to last!!! ARGHHH!!!
*temporarily disappears*
Do not read most of the fan fics!!!!!! They're either haters fan fics or lovers and both are horrible in their own ways...
Lynxia, are you in The Competition?
Does anyone know if monkeys live in woods?
I am not in the competition. Of course monkeys live in woods. Well, jungles.
No I do not deserve the award more. And yes. Adopt you.
Because...I don't know. I just like the idea. *laughs*
This is a slightly random comment, but I had to say:
in London, on Friday a couple of weeks ago, by the hotel next to the Royal Institution, I saw a BLACK BENTLEY with the numberplate 405 SP. How cool is that???
what's The Competition?
Okay Luce! You are now my Blog Sister!!
Just coz, Star's up a tree, and now would be a perfect moment for her to meet a monkey.
YEAH!
*is listening to Zelda 25th Anniversary soundtracks*
*With a flash and a bang, Random appears again!*
*pause*
*belatedly realizes he's not a teleporter*
*tries to casually enter room instead*
Star- Must I repeat my earlier comment???
"The Competition.....
Mysterious.....
until you explain it.....
NOW!!!!!"
hi Random!
what sort of monkeys?
hello again, Stells
AGRH!! I need more tape... brb.
*stella
It"s a writing competition run by a bloglandian, Random.
Finally.....
Bloglandian? Really? There's got to be a better name than that.
aaaaaaaaaaaaah, I'd been wondering that too.
glad you all are feeling so talkative, now that I'm back after my LOOONNNGGG absence of a few minutes.
what about BloglandER?
*shadow walks back in*
That's just what we're called, Random. Except the Elders. They are Bloglanders as that is what they called themselves. Me, Star and Luce are 2nd generation. At least I think that's what Nix put you in... Or where you 3rd generation?
=-), Random!
I have to go distant~
I am tidying my room.
So I'll be MAJORLY distant...
*frowns*
*pretends to be offended* WHAT IN EARTH IS WRONG WITH BLOGLANDIAN???
wait... is Blogland specific to SP, or all blogs.... If its SP, what happened to Minions.
*Was under impression Blogland was here*
Bloglandian is a niccccce worddddd.
*sighs* This is Blogland, in Blogland you are a Bloglandion. In real life you are a Minion.
on second thought, if its SP specific, its a good pun (if there is such a thing)
Minions includes chations. We are the bloglandians in blogland and they are the chations on chat but we are all Minions, if that makes sense.
It's like Facebookians, though.
Bloglandians
Facebookians
and...What are Tumblr-goers called?
Star - Did Nix class you as 2nd or 3rd gen?
Wait, first its Bloglandian, then Bloglander, now Bloglandion?
MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!!
Have to go!! Bye!!
this is sorta confusing... where do you chat, if not on here... do u mean real life?
Bye, Lynx! *hugs* Talk to you later! :D
Lynxia-
*knows she wasn't asking him*
I'm 8th generation, so I'm a Blogizen
(like a denizen or a citizen)
Bye Lynxia!
or not.....
whats this about generations??? *is confused*
bye, Lynxia
