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...

Hello! I'll be distant because I'm trying to find my red and yellow paint, which could be anywhere in my room.

Nixion Strange said...

I'd look for the paints that are redish and yellowish

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Well, yes, thank you for the advice, but the tubes of paint are tiny and I only have one yellow and one red.



OW! I just tried to reach behind something and my wrist got slashed on a corner! Grrrrr!

Nixion Strange said...

Hmm... My second piece of advice would be to find them, then your worry is over

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*walks up to Nix and pokes him in the face* *walks away and continues looking for paint*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Aha! I found the yellow one!

Nixion Strange said...

All right, do it your way

Nixion Strange said...

See?! I told you!

Eve the ROCK said...

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX!

*runs up to Nix and smashes a watermelon into his face*

Lavender Hope said...

*squeals*
I got the last Artemis Fowl book!!! :DDD But I'm going to wait a little longer before I start it. Cause I'll probably read it too fast.

Hi! I'm on a computer now. Distant, but here. I'm just going to read some posts.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Lav!

Nixion Strange said...

OW! Eve!... Hi

Lav! Jealous! I looked for it yesterday in a Dymocks I found down there, but it wasn't out yet
NO SPOILERS!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello Eve! Hello Lav!

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Nix!

*hands him a piece of cake and a few napkins*

You got some stuff on your face... :P

And I missed you, just so you know. :)

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Val! Hi Eve!

Don't worry, I didn't even start it yet. :P

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

AGH I CAN'T FIND THE FREAKING RED PAINT!!!!



*throws something at the wall*

Lavender Hope said...

Where did you last see it Val? If you remember, look around the area. Start there and move outwards to the rest of the room.

Lavender Hope said...

Or look around the area where you found the yellow one.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I've already done both... My room is considerably messier than it was when I started searching :/

Lavender Hope said...

I hope you don"t mind cleaning your room then, cause that's the only other thing I can think of. ^^'

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*frowns* Darn it, I was hoping it would be hiding under my fez...

Anonymous said...

When is the ANZ tour happening? Are you coming to STAC?

Nixion Strange said...

Hi... I shall call you Tano

Star Inkbright said...

Selena Gasp said...

Selena Gasp said...

Selena Gasp said...

I am a little bit insane

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

EUUUUPHOOOORIAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I LOVE CLUES!!!


I acted like such a detective last night. It was epic. I was texting my friend Amanda, and I got a response that said, "So, I love Justin Bieber now, isn't that great?" Me, knowing it was no where near true, didn't even bother to focus on that, and instead I sent back "Hi Ariana. I know you took Amanda's phone because not once have I ever seen Amanda use punctuation." The response was "You are good."

Yeah, I'm such an AWESOME detective.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

oh THATS cool Val!!

Nixion Strange said...

STUPID INTERNET! I'D KILL YOU... But I need you. For now. Don't make me regret letting you live

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi/bye Selena!





Now, to get back into my flow of writing and stop neglecting to write this chapter...

Nixion Strange said...

Hands up if you watch mystery crime shows with others, and predict who did it and ruin it for them

*hand up*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Thanks Miss Cain XD


You should've seen the day I walked all around down town with my friend Emily. It was SO HOT outside but I wore my long black Valkyrie coat and a fedora the whole time, taking notes of everything - literally, everything - I saw. I still have those notes... I wrote everything on one page, though, so it's incredibly hard to read... One thing's for sure though. The one clear thing you can read is: "EMILY IS A TRAITOR!!!"

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*hand goes up*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*laughs*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i felt like ruining Doctor Who last night for my sister

but it was my fav episode so i kept quiet

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And then the next day I did the same thing, except it was the Saturday Market. So there were LOTS of people. And then there was this one guy playing music, and I walked over and started dancing... I have a video of it XD

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

My favourite episode is "A Good Man Goes to War"

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

my favourite is "The Unicorn and The Wasp"

i also like the one with the Darlek invasion

i cant remember what is was called....

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

and on tonight is the library one...


isnt it called "The Library"?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

It's Dalek, not Darlek...



And I love "The Unicorn and the Wasp"... I figured everything out before it was revealed, though :/

It even ruins the show for me... Stupid intelligence

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Silence in the Library?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i think thats it

its the one with the shadows inhabiting the people and its where we first meet River Song!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

and excuse my dumb spelling, not the best on the holidays

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yep, that's Silence in the Library.



And I can't believe the first episode with River in it is the one she dies in! Grrrr!


But that wasn't the first one I saw with River in it... I watched them all out of order. I first saw her in The Time of the Angels.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i need the whole seires for my birthday...

i dont think ive seen all of them, and for

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

that, i feel ashamed


it pressed submit while i was in the middle of it, grrrr...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I own the fifth series and that's it... Amanda owns all of them

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i might get the fifth series...

thats the one we're talking about, isnt it??

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

if i get it, im going to invite friends over and do a Doctor Who marathon, even if they havent even heard of Doctor Who and even if they dont really like it

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

At my friend's b-day party we had nothing to watch, so Amanda put in 'The Eleventh Hour' and we made everyone watch practically all of the fifth and six series that night... XD

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i wish i was there!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And they didn't even know what Doctor Who was at that point... We were all planning on just falling asleep to it, but instead our friend Sammy was shouting, "NO! NO, RIVER CAN'T KILL THE DOCTOR! NO! NO NO NO! THAT CAN'T HAPPEN! HE CAN'T DIE!" and "WHAT?! RIVER IS MELODY?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*laughs*

have you seen the episode with the little boy wearing the gas mask asking, "Are you my mummy?"


that one REALLY creeped me out

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Val, are you going to give me your writing thing for challenge one? Cause I can close the time in about 5 hours...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh my God, that episode was awesome... "Are you my mummy? Mummy, mummy, mummy..."

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Nix, I really want to, but I don't think I have time to write for the contest because I'm really busy this summer... So I don't think so...

Sparky Braginski said...

I ENTERED MINE!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

AH! SPARKY'S A STALKER!


*jumps backwards and points a water gun at her*


DON'T MOVE OR I'LL ATTACK!

Nixion Strange said...

I saw Sparky, thanks for being one of the few who bothered. Hi!

So, I just go through so much damn effort, and only 5 people bother to give me there entry?

Sparky Braginski said...

Okay, okay, I won't move...

Sparky Braginski said...

The eleven others suck.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*shoots anyway*




*is finally writing Chapter 10* *sighs* I can't wait till I get to kill off Audacious...

*covers mouth*

Ooops. I wasn't supposed to say that...

Nixion Strange said...

Miss, I can practally promise if you put your email in the comment on teh latest post, you'll get in... Anyone could get in

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ohhhh!

okay Nix

Nixion Strange said...

So you publish the comment Val? Yeeeeeeah...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

OI! I said I was busy! I even said he didn't have to pick me to be in it!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yes, I publish the comment because I'm bored and I really, honestly do not like Audacious.

Nixion Strange said...

He is me...
And thanks for ruining your story for me

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Your welcome. But he was gonna die anyway. But later, much later... Unfortunately...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

there we go!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Audacious was about to say something when they heard Ivy sigh irritably. They both spun to face her.

“Yes, your highness? So sorry all the attention wasn't on you. Would you like us to go throw ourselves in the dungeon for it?” Anomaly said to her, raising an eyebrow sarcastically.

Even from where Anomaly was standing she could see the glare Ivy gave her. “I would do much worse than throw in a dungeon. I would do the pain thing that they talk about in The Princess Bride. You know, cut off the hands, then the ankles, etcetera. Then I'd throw you in the dungeon and let the other prisoners eat you.”

“That's... That's lovely, Ivy.”

Sparky Braginski said...

Very nice Val.

To the pain.

I approve.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i like it Val!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Thank you Sparky, thank you. I approve too.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And thanks also to Miss Cain

Nixion Strange said...

I think I'd get it more if I knew anything about Princess Bride

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Googling solves (nearly) everything!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

It's one of the best movies ever and Derek does something VERY similar to it during the sword fight in Mortal Coil

Nixion Strange said...

Ah yes, Star kept going on about that

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

will have to see it eventually then

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

1!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i dedicate this page to movies. They can be humourous, romantic, good or horrible.

yeah, movies are cool

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I wish I was in a movie... It would be the best movie EVER

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

same here Val

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Well, I'm gonna go now, because it's past 3 in the morning, byyyyyyyeeee!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

bye Val!!

Eve the ROCK said...

In answer to Nix's 'hands up' statement, I am not watching a mystery movie with any of you guys. -_-

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*laughs*

ok Eve

Lavender Hope said...

Yes! I FINALLY posted chapter four of Dragon Wings! I am pretty proud of how it turned out. Go and read!

http://lavenderhopestoryblog.blogspot.kr/2012/07/dragon-wings-chapter-4-part-1.html

Just in time before dinner too. Bye!

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Lav!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

hi/bye Lav!

time to go read it!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

just under 2 weeks until KOTW is out for us Aussiminions!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Mm-hmm

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

must... finsh.... Plague....

Nixion Strange said...

Plague's really good! My least favourite is Gone, but my favourite keeps changing

Eve the ROCK said...

What are you doing around a plague anyway?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

im reading it

Eve the ROCK said...

?_?

Nixion Strange said...

I got a plague...

Nixion Strange said...

It's a book Eve. Gone series? Gosh

A PLAGUE ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES

Now, if you don't know the line I just wrote... tut tut

Eve the ROCK said...

A plague of locusts?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

no Eve

Eve the ROCK said...

I don't know the line and isn't that the book with the black cover and the green person on it?

Nixion Strange said...

I'm not going to respond to that Eve...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

no, thats Gone

Plague is the red one with bugs around the words

Nixion Strange said...

That last comment was aimed at Eve's comment before the comment I just commented

Eve the ROCK said...

*frowns* Fine. I won't answer the next question you ask me.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i actually understand that Nix

Nixion Strange said...

Okay then Eve
1 or 2? You feel the compulsion to answer. This question will eat you away, until you know it is properaly answered, by telling me
Good luck surviving the years ahead, knowing that you've never answered, and never can answer my question

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, so that's the series you're all talking about. I thought those books were about child abuse.

Eve the ROCK said...

What question?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*laughs*

Nixion Strange said...

1 or 2 Eve? One or Two?

Eve the ROCK said...

Sorry, what?

CHECK

Nixion Strange said...

I'm not going to dignify that
The unanswered question doesn't bother me. But you, who has the power to answer the question, and you, who knows if you don't answer now, it can never be answered properly, you shall always be bothered by it

Eve the ROCK said...

I already forgot the question. Nothing beats my short-term memory loss

Nixion Strange said...

You can try and convince yourself all you want, but it's eating you alive, and no matter what you say, I know it is. Don't bother trying to convince me, or you. Lies are beneath you, and so is leaving the question unanswered

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Nix, you probably need to repeat it

or do you want me to repeat it?

Nixion Strange said...

It doesn't need to be repeated. It'll be in her head forever. When she's dying one day, she'll think about that unanswered question
Oh, and it's my question Miss. Repeated it and I won't be pleased. My question

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ok, ok, i wont repeat it

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

alrightio, im off to watch Doctor Who

bbl

bye!

Nixion Strange said...

Yo, Eve? Heeello?

Drew O'Connor said...

Ah hoy hoy fellow minions!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Em!

Nixion Strange said...

Because I haven't said it on this page...
msd

Drew O'Connor said...

Oh Nix!! I'm so worried that I'm gonna get kicked out of the competition before it's even started!!!

I haven't been able to put together anything, I don't think I'll be ready by the deadline tomorrow.

Nixion Strange said...

Just quickly throw it together. Considering only 5 other people have bothered so far, I'd say if there was an elimination, it be for someone who didn't do it

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, and by the way, it's Thursday Australian time Whihc is in three hours. I'm going to wait till I wake up, but that still isn't long

Drew O'Connor said...

ARGH!!!! Talk about ultimate panic mode!

Where did I put that panic button?

Nixion Strange said...

I lost mine. Someone keeps pressing it, they must have it. DRIVING ME INSANE!

Zathract Mist said...

I entered mine too!

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, yeah, I'm here


Hi Em!

Drew O'Connor said...

Right lets do this thing!!

I can't promise it will be my best but we'll see.

And we send it to nixon.strange@gmail.com yeah?

Zathract Mist said...

Yay! Em, you stayed!

Have fun, Star!

Yes, eleven people suck. Or maybe 10 now, I dunno.

MSD.

Drew O'Connor said...

And your just showing off that you sent yours in lol

Heya Eve!!

Nixion Strange said...

No, it's

Nixion Strange said...

I shall be going now, but I shall be back later

Zathract Mist said...

Bye Nix!

Flame Phoenix said...

So quiet...

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Nix!

No Phoenix!

Zathract Mist said...

Hi Flame. Yes, it is.

Zathract Mist said...

CAN I call you Flame? Pheonix takes longer to type out an I'm a lazy person.

Flame Phoenix said...

Zath.. I left a comment on the first chapter of Nix And Mist, and... I love it.

Flame Phoenix said...

Yeah, It's my name, isn't it?

Flame Phoenix said...

I'm not going to ever, ever be as good as that.

Zathract Mist said...

Yeah, I got the email. Thanks for reading, Flame!

And yeah, I didn't notice that till now...Weren't you Nightslayer not too long ago?

Zathract Mist said...

Well, it's me AND Nix together so we kind of make it as best as we can. Also, your writing is great.

Btw, there are tons of typos in our chapters, we know.

Flame Phoenix said...

Not the best you can be, you've exceeded that. By MILES.

I mean that. And 47,000 words.

Fuck that..

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

hellooooooo!

Doctor Who is epic...

Flame Phoenix said...

Oh, Nightslayer.. That was for something..

Zathract Mist said...

Yeah, I think I know what that something was...
BUT, I won't go there...

*sighs*

Flame Phoenix said...
