Ireland and UK

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...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I feel so obsessed. I went off Blogland 11:30pm I stayed up til 4:38am reading The Faceless Ones and starting Dark Days.

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh but SPOILER ALERT

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

thanks Eve!

*runs off to go read it*

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

That was hilarious!!!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

OH MY GOD!!

THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Reading that again, I should not have shown anyone that

Eve the ROCK said...

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.

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

Priceless!!!!

*goes back to tree*

i have cone to the conclusion Derek wont Blogspeak

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

thats alright Eve

if you feel bad, dont

me and my friends talk about inapproprete stuff EVERDAY

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

and i probably spelt that wrong

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

Celine....gave Nikki....'the talk' at lunch.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

oh god

Eve the ROCK said...

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

Eve the ROCK said...

I don't know who Celine and Nikki are

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

Be spared Eve. They wrote the letter to Derek with me

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ohhhh

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

I think I am right! See Derek isnt speaking!

*glares at his publishers*

spare him!!! We miss him!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Derek is a busy soul

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

Yup.

Very busy....

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

very busy preparing for his Aussiminions and most likely practising to NOT laugh at our Aussie accents

thats my opinion

Luciana said...

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..

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

hi L!

Luciana said...

Hello.

My friend is from Cambridge, JJ you know her L

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Lynxia Lost said...

Lynxia Lost said...

Bye Missy!!

Luciana said...

Bye, Cain.

Lynxia Lost said...

You know, making a Loki helmet is harder than it looks. Really fun though!!

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

Me crazy

Lynxia Lost said...

Me think nobody else is alive out there...

Luciana said...

I want to punch him~

Luciana said...

One of my ex-admins. He had to be removed, so now he's just gobbing at me. ¬_¬

Star Inkbright said...

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.

Lynxia Lost said...

Ouch, tell him to go away because you're more awesome than he is and he's really just jealous.

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi Star!

Random Comments said...

I'm alive- last I checked, anyway.

Lynxia Lost said...

Hello Random Comments! I don't believe we've met. *shaves hand violently*

Luciana said...

Hey, Star.
And he'd not listen. Bea would boycott the page, too. He's such a dickhead and he's so fucking arrogant. ¬_¬

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Random!

He's an idiot, L. Just ignoree him.

Lynxia Lost said...

I agree Star, ignore him and he'll go away.

Luciana said...

Hello, Random.

Random Comments said...

Lynxia- /shaves/ hand?

Luciana said...

I'm too stubborn. *creys and hugs everyone* You're so amazing! <3

Star Inkbright said...

*huggles back*

. . .

Ohhhhhhhhkay . . .

Lynxia Lost said...

Ah, sorry. Stupid typos...
*shakes


*hugs back* You are too Luce! If not for you, I might never have made my own helmet.

Random Comments said...

Luciana- are those ARCs or something in your profile picture?

Star Inkbright said...

Who here is in The Competition?

Random Comments said...

Lynxia- you scared me for a second there. I was worried I wouldn't want to meet you.

Star Inkbright said...

They're SP books, Random.

Random Comments said...

The Competition.....
Mysterious.....
until you explain it.....
NOW!!!!!

Lynxia Lost said...

I scare a lot of people. *shrugs* You get used to it! *smiles evilly*

Random Comments said...

I Know, but I haven't seen ones with the white on them, so i wondered if they were ARCs, or Advance Reader Copies.

Luciana said...

ARCs? What're they...? *is confuzzled*
Awwhh. Wait...How does that even make sense, Lynx? What did I do? :O

Random Comments said...

*points to his comment above*
Star-

Luciana said...

Ohh~
I don't know how you even GET ARCs! *frowns*

Lynxia Lost said...

Well Luce, I was saying how you couldn't get a helmet anywhere so you said I should make one!

Luciana said...

I did...?
Oooohhh. My brain is better than I thought! Yay! x3

Random Comments said...

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.

Random Comments said...

too late...

Luciana said...

Oh, you mean proof copies? I have one of them, yeah.

Random Comments said...

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)

Lynxia Lost said...

Yes it is Luce!! When it's done, I'll post pics!!

Random Comments said...

what are the ones in the picture, though?

Random Comments said...

And what country are you in?

Lynxia Lost said...

Just standard English paperbacks, Random.

Random Comments said...

They're usually called ARCs in America.

Random Comments said...

Okay, couldn't tell what there binding was. I don't have the paperbacks. British Shipping... :(
I don't even have Death Bringer yet. :(

Random Comments said...

the paperbacks have colored (or coloured) paper on the edges?

Luciana said...

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*

Random Comments said...

are you all waiting for me to fill up this page so you can be first?

Lynxia Lost said...

No, I'm making my helmet so I'll be distant.

Lynxia Lost said...

1?

Lynxia Lost said...

1?

Lynxia Lost said...

1?

Lynxia Lost said...

Yay!!

Star Inkbright said...

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:)

Stella Hazel Book said...

hi guys! Just finished the last EVER Artemis Fowl!

Random Comments said...

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.

Lynxia Lost said...

No spoilers Stella, I still need to read it.

Right, brb while I write the ded...

Random Comments said...

lynxia- "The lady doth protest to much, methinks"

Star Inkbright said...

*of

*Birmingham

NO SPOILERS, STELLA.

*is dying to read it*

Luciana said...

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.

Random Comments said...

"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?

Star Inkbright said...

HOW, STELLA??? IT ONLY CAME OUT TODAY!!!!

Stella Hazel Book said...

hi! No spoilers, I promise. I've go it coz I've got a kindle.

Random Comments said...

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)?

Lynxia Lost said...

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*

Stella Hazel Book said...

*got, not go.

Lynxia Lost said...

Oh well Random, does it matter? No, so drop it.

Stella Hazel Book said...

great dedication, Lynxia/ Shads (I think)! =-), L

Random Comments said...

you said it, Lynxia, not me. I'm just quoting Hamlet...

for no reason whatsoever...

not because you lied...

Random Comments said...

Is it a Loki helmet, though?

Lynxia Lost said...

Lied? I said I'm not waiting. Did I wait? No, I went and got it.

Lynxia Lost said...

Yes, a Loki helmet.

Star Inkbright said...

*agrees wholeheartly with the ded* You deserve a ded, LLLLL.

Random Comments said...

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*

Anonymous said...

The count down for Kingdom Of the Wicked seems to be going veeerrrryyy slowly.

Random Comments said...

From the Avengers movie? the one with the funny curly bit?

Lynxia Lost said...

Not just Avengers, and they're horns not 'curly bits' but yes. That one. The staff too.

Hi Sapphire!

Random Comments said...

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.

Stella Hazel Book said...

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.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Sapphire! I have a character called Sapphire.

Random Comments said...

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...

Stella Hazel Book said...

actually, my countdown actually IS going slowly... in fact, it's stopped!

Lynxia Lost said...

The one in the films is better to the comics. As for the actually mythology... *screams* IT'S SO SAD!!!!!!! *collapses on floor wailing*

Random Comments said...

Its still going on mine, so its not the site. they aren't announcing a postponement or anything... I HOPE.

Stella Hazel Book said...

no, I expect it's just my computer. It keeps shutting down on me, which is VERY annoying.

Random Comments said...

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...

Random Comments said...

why does it look like that, anyway? is it explained in one of the movies?

Lynxia Lost said...

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.

Lynxia Lost said...

No, it's just his helmet.

Random Comments said...

i think he wears it in some of the comics, too, but not always.... I don't actually read comics very often (practically never)

Luciana said...

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.

Lynxia Lost said...

*is tackled* Thanks Luce but you deserve the award more! Adopt me? ... Right...



(One horn stuck on...)

Random Comments said...

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

Random Comments said...

stupid period. it goes after the last word in a sentence, not the second to last!!! ARGHHH!!!

Random Comments said...

*temporarily disappears*

Lynxia Lost said...

Do not read most of the fan fics!!!!!! They're either haters fan fics or lovers and both are horrible in their own ways...

Star Inkbright said...

Lynxia, are you in The Competition?

Does anyone know if monkeys live in woods?

Lynxia Lost said...

I am not in the competition. Of course monkeys live in woods. Well, jungles.

Luciana said...

No I do not deserve the award more. And yes. Adopt you.
Because...I don't know. I just like the idea. *laughs*

Stella Hazel Book said...

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???

Stella Hazel Book said...

what's The Competition?

Lynxia Lost said...

Okay Luce! You are now my Blog Sister!!

Star Inkbright said...

Just coz, Star's up a tree, and now would be a perfect moment for her to meet a monkey.

Luciana said...

YEAH!

*is listening to Zelda 25th Anniversary soundtracks*

Random Comments said...

*With a flash and a bang, Random appears again!*

*pause*

*belatedly realizes he's not a teleporter*

*tries to casually enter room instead*

Random Comments said...

Star- Must I repeat my earlier comment???

"The Competition.....
Mysterious.....
until you explain it.....
NOW!!!!!"

Stella Hazel Book said...

hi Random!

Random Comments said...

what sort of monkeys?

Random Comments said...

hello again, Stells

Lynxia Lost said...

AGRH!! I need more tape... brb.

Random Comments said...

*stella

Star Inkbright said...

It"s a writing competition run by a bloglandian, Random.

Random Comments said...

Finally.....

Random Comments said...

Bloglandian? Really? There's got to be a better name than that.

Stella Hazel Book said...

aaaaaaaaaaaaah, I'd been wondering that too.

Random Comments said...

glad you all are feeling so talkative, now that I'm back after my LOOONNNGGG absence of a few minutes.

Stella Hazel Book said...

what about BloglandER?

Lynxia Lost said...

*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?

Stella Hazel Book said...

=-), Random!

Luciana said...

I have to go distant~
I am tidying my room.
So I'll be MAJORLY distant...

*frowns*

Star Inkbright said...

*pretends to be offended* WHAT IN EARTH IS WRONG WITH BLOGLANDIAN???

Random Comments said...

wait... is Blogland specific to SP, or all blogs.... If its SP, what happened to Minions.
*Was under impression Blogland was here*

Star Inkbright said...

Bloglandian is a niccccce worddddd.

Lynxia Lost said...

*sighs* This is Blogland, in Blogland you are a Bloglandion. In real life you are a Minion.

Random Comments said...

on second thought, if its SP specific, its a good pun (if there is such a thing)

Star Inkbright said...

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.

Luciana said...

It's like Facebookians, though.
Bloglandians
Facebookians
and...What are Tumblr-goers called?

Lynxia Lost said...

Star - Did Nix class you as 2nd or 3rd gen?

Random Comments said...

Wait, first its Bloglandian, then Bloglander, now Bloglandion?

MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!!

Lynxia Lost said...

Have to go!! Bye!!

Stella Hazel Book said...

this is sorta confusing... where do you chat, if not on here... do u mean real life?

Luciana said...

Bye, Lynx! *hugs* Talk to you later! :D

Random Comments said...

Lynxia-
*knows she wasn't asking him*
I'm 8th generation, so I'm a Blogizen
(like a denizen or a citizen)

Stella Hazel Book said...

Bye Lynxia!

Random Comments said...

Stella Hazel Book said...

whats this about generations??? *is confused*

Random Comments said...
