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...

He aint talkin' bout no plague, sista

Flame, are you talking about the Gone series??
No, Phoenix is talking about the next Nix and Mist story

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i feel like Clarabelle now
Yes, I am.
I'm going to go now, for a while..
BYE.
Draw Clarabelle then
Bye Phoenix!
bye Flame!
but he said yes. Did he mean my question or what you wrote, Eve?
Methinks Nix has disappeared
You said, "What? He is??"
He said, "yes, I am"
oh, that makes sense now
im going to try to draw Clarabelle now
might be distant, but i doubt it
You guys ruined my love for reading (Skulduggery is a whole different thing)
Shame on you
*opens a book*
*frowns*
No, we aren't on Infection yet, Flame.
MSD.
oki doki Mist!
*sighs*
ive had better drawing days...
i give up
*picks up Plague*
time to read
*has been told the family is going to Thailand again at the end of this year*
I'm not sure I want to go back there yet...
In two years time I'll be applying to Cambridge~
If I get offered a place I will tell them to stuff it~
Yes, one of the top universities in the world and I have to apply so I can reject /them/. *smiles*
I'm in a funny mood.
Hello~
*sings Titanium*
I AM TITAAANIUUUUUM!!!
hi L!
Hello!
I'll be distant, today! I have to write my personal statement! It'll be very longgggg!
I've also thought of a way to talk about SP in it- reading books in other languagessssssssss.
Hi L...
Did you submit your entry for The Comp yet?
Hey, Mist.
I still need to e-mail Nix about the...Things that're causing me to not be able to write, currently...I can't be involved, any longer..
thats smart L
at the end, you should say (maybe) that doors are for people with no imagination
i did that in my speech for class representative
Hi Lucy Anna!
Okay. Entries closed 53 minutes ago, just so you know.
I have to be incredibly professional in this though, Cain. I would write that, if I could.
But...
THAT IS GOING INTO MY ENGLISH PRESENTATION!
Hello, Eve.
I only just got home, anyway. I wouldn't have been able to have entered~
I was at a mini-lecture. *laughs*
Thursday 23rd of August is going to be a scary day...
Luckily, it'll be 7 days before KOTW which makes me feel better about it. ^_^
Damn exam results! Damn exams!
its my mums birthday tomorrow...
and then its my Auntys the next day...
and then its Saturday, which would be 9 days until KOTW
good luck with your results L!
*laughs* Thanks, Cain! I'll probably need it!
Hi guys! Might be a slow commenter, I have to hold this horn on the helmet until it sets...
hi Lynxia!
How is everyone?
Hi Lynxia!
I'm probably going to vanish or sleep any second now, so bye for the near-future.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*big hugs*
I feel like I have not seen you in AGES!!!!!!!!!!
oki doki Mist!
im good Lynxia, reading Plague right now
and oh my God...
Hey, Lynx!
I have to go, now. Going shopping~
Maybe I can get some more SP books? Doubt it! Oh well. I get to order those US versions, later~
Goodbye! *hugs everyone that wants a hug and leaves*
OMG what?
I love GONE!! GO DRAKE!!!!!!
*hugs back* Bye Luce!
*hugs L*
bye L!
Oh my God to the scene in the book i was just reading...
I can probably guess which one.
After all the effort I'm, putting into this helmet, I'm gonna turn it into part of my art coursework.
will you put a photo up of it eventually??
Yeah, I will when it's done. Which should be soon actually. It's surprising how a balloon can go to this in just a few days.
Msd
Hi Eve! Unless you were already here.
ok Eve
cool Lynxia
Huzzah!!!
I finally sent in my competition entry.
*smiles*
Yes, that would be because I've been gone for 7 or so weeks now. But HI to you too! :)
Bye L!
Hi Em!!
Hopefully Missy, if it all goes okay with the prima and paint.
hi Em!
Uhm...Em, entries closed an hour and 20 minutes ago...
7 weeks is a long time but you haven't missed much, Zath. Sparky came back, Luce became my adopted Blog-sister and that's all I can think of.
oh, im doing the all-nighter tomorrow night!!
I know about Sparky, but I gave up reading the comments so I didn't hear about that. Congrats, I guess.
Ok, Miss
You are Missy? Lucky, I have double maths tomorrow.
It was yesterday Zath so I don't think many people know yet.
well, we're on holidays, so yeah
Well it's half four Wednesday afternoon here lol so I think I have done my part.
Nix said he will wait until he wakes up though as well
Oh, okay then.
*hums Black Blade*
Freaky Zath!! I was just listening to that!! I'm listening to Jump now though (which is the best from TSFH!!!)!
He said it closed Thursday Australia (Brisbane/Sydney) time, so...
But I think you'll be ok considering hardly anyone submitted at all.
No! It's still Black Blade!!
*is still stubbornly fixed on that song*
Jump, then possibly Norwegian Pirate or One Way Out - that's the order for me.
I don't really have a list.
*changes the song to Going Under*
Never mind, Em! I just looked at the blog, so you have till Nix wakes up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2hXZYhE59k&list=PLCEA076B67CFCBA06&feature=plpp_play_all
I was writing Patchwork to this yesterday, you can tell which part!
*Well, not yesterday but a few days ago.
Going Under is epic!!
All Evanescence Songs are epic!!
I agree Zath!! What You Want is my fave!!
There are actually a surprising amount of Evanescence fans on the blog...
wow Lynxia
that song is pretty neat
Yes, Lynxia. You've said... *remembers the time she almost stabbed me for saying Voices by Disturbed was better...*
*laughs*
I have yet to choose a favourite. They're all too good!
EVANESCENCE IS AWEEEEEESOME!!!!!!
Next time they tour, I'm going...
Glad you remember that, Zath but I did stop. I was proud of myself.
God, I love the Illusions album!!!!!!
Is that TSFH, Lynxia? I can't use YouTube coz I'm on an iPod.
same here!!
whenever i hear songs, i can relate them to SP
like Dark Side by Kelly Clarkson
and Blow Me One More Kiss by P!nk
Dark Side reminds me of when Valkyrie was going to tell Skulduggery about her being _________
and Blow Me One More Kiss reminds me of Fletchrie
I don'y know either of them Missy.
Yup Zath! Me <3 TSFH!!!
I got our school orchestra to play some!! :D
My Immortal by Evanescence actually reminds me heaps of Val and Flech.
Piano and band versions. Both.
What You Want reminds me of Darquesse.
Really? Awesome!
same here Lynxia
*watches the comment count*
*shuts up for now*
Zath, you never change... *shakes head* Or are you actually not going for 1st this time?
i cant believe the only Evanescence songs i have are the Fallen album
i know something else that i want for my birthday now...
brb - gonna get an apple.
oki doki Lynxia!
apples remind me of Deathnote....
at least i dont have to do a ded
go Lynxia!
*smiles weakly*
I don't like first anymore. Haven't for ages now. I don't have a thing to dedicate to.
i sometimes have good deds
but not always
I dedicate this page to awesome composers, such as John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Thomas Bergersen, Nick Phoenix, the list goes on, and friends.
The first one is self explanatory, so is the second but I will explain anyway.
Friends are the people you can trust your life with and are the people who you know you can trust. You share great times together which you will always remember. Sometimes you may fight but in the end you realise that fighting with your friends is like fighting with yourself and if they're gone then so is a part of you. You should treasure your friends and never let them go because they're just special to you.
I value everyone on here a friend and I hope they see me that way too. :)
(Sorry for the cheesy ded - I'm listening to this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwMDL4tU-FE&feature=BFa&list=PLCEA076B67CFCBA06)
dadadadaddadadadaddda
good ded Lynxia!
*nearly falls of chair*
Oh... My... God...!
I have just realised what will be at the end of Fraying (the last in the Patchwork series)!! This song helped!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RVIgZRRlmk&feature=BFa&list=PLCEA076B67CFCBA06
*starts to write* It's cheesy but I don't care!!
Awesome dedications, Lynx! x3
Hello, everyone! *hugs*
Hi L...
@*hugs* Hi sis! ;)
*hugs L*
hi L!
Hello~
I'll be distant, again. Personal statements take the mick!
Ouch Luce, they sure do.
alrightio L!
i really should start to finish chapter 11...
According to my friends I'm Emo and Goth...
...
Yo.
Hi Flame...
Me too Zath. I am neither but I don't care. I do like gothic stuff though...
Hey Flame!
i asked my friends if they think im goth
they must think i would take it offencively, cuz they always hesitate
but i dont mind if they say yes
I'm going to see Derek on the 30th of August..
Maybe.. Just maybe... If I get Chasing the Sun done, I could give it to him.
hi Flame!
people consider me insane
I don't title myself as either, but I don't wear anything other than black if I can help it and I DO like Gothic Music...
I like other stuff too, but.
People consider ME insane too.
I just don't care.
I'm going to see him in Stoke!! I'll get my nan to take me...
Hey, Flame!
*prods Mist* People are idiots. People stereotype. People are people. I don't like people. I don't like most people, anyway.
You don't care about what, Lynx?
My dad said we can go see him both times he's in Sydney!
He's awesome. *nods*
Sometimes...
whenever i MENTION the word Skulduggery, they sigh and roll their eyes
i dont take any offence from this
haters can hate all they want, but i aint listening
I don't like most people either.
And I don't MIND that they call me Emo and Gothic, I'm just considering if I actually AM or not.
That people stereotype me, Flame. I used to but then I realised there is more to life than other people's opinion of you.
i want to go to both times to see Derek
hopefully, maybe the first time i go with my dad then the second time i could maybe go with a friend or my grandparents...
Emo and goth are actually just fashion types, you know? But society has made them labels of types of people.
No matter what happens, you're still you. And you shouldn't let anyone change that!
And I have just thought of another dedication idea! x3 *jots it down in notepad*
I usually don't show any emotion whatsoever in real life other than depression. I get high very very rarely and that actually seems to be a side effect of over-depression.
I listen to a lot of gothic music. Well, gothic metal. Within Temptation and that.
I dont wear anything but black when I can help it and if I have no black to wear, I'll wear white.
My parents actually call me Emo and Gothic as well...
Rant over.
I just do whatever and don't care what my 'peers' at school think any more.
Yeah, I know. One of my friends has a lot of Emo friends and she says that all these seriotypes about Emos always cutting themselves are completely stupid and untrue.
There isn't any religious aspect in either either.
Mm...I'll shut up now.
its alright Mist
rant all you want
I cannot stand the stereotypes that only emos self-harm and that they're always suicidal and depressed.
It angers me, slightly, that people are always badmouthing those that they label goths or emos. They're usually the person to drive someone to self-harming or to the brink of suicide...
I hate talking about stuff like this, it annoys me. So does talking about religion and other things that seemingly make you 'different'. You are who you are, and sometimes you might want to change that, but you can't. SO embrace your differences, because that's what makes you. And no matter how another person might see you, how much they want to change you, THEY CAN'T.
So DON'T LET them.
Why can't people at school be as nice as you guys!? *hugs all*
once some b*tch asked, oh are you going gothic?
if ANYONE askes you something like that with a sneer in their voice, you know they're jealous of your epicness
BECAUSE, LYNX, LIFE DOESN'T LIKE MAKING THINGS EASY FOR US.
But, then again...Maybe it's better that life is what we see as difficult, because we'd probably see it as difficult no matter what happened...
*hugs*
some people are just rotten and jealous of how awesome we all are
i mean, this is YOUR life, why do people want to make it hell??
oh yeah, cuz they cant live their OWN life
the world can be so cruel
Have to go now! Bye guys!! *hugs*
Bye Lynx, *hugs*
NOW. Off to read more of Nix And Mist.
bye Lynxia!
*hugs*
now im ranting
haters can hate, but they cant touch me
Bye, Lynx! *hugs*
Bye Lynxia...
...Yeah, I'm going to sleep now. It's half past 2. Night...
night Mist!
I want an Aussie SP box set. dQTWYBXRNWHRJ]A/.
speaking of box sets
at Big W, you can get the whole series so far INCLUDING EOTW for $35 (Aussie dollars)
thats a good deal
Night, Mist! :)
Im leaving..
ok, bye Flame!
I've seen, Cain! That's the one I am looking at, right now! It's cheaper than the one I saw on ebay last night that has now gone!
Bye, Flame!
yeah, its pretty good
i cant find the newer covers ANYWHERE!!
New covers? I need to find out all about the Aussie versions of the books...
You know the box sets, are the books in it large paperback? Or ordinary paperback?
yeah, the newer covers with Skul on the front and Val at the back
i think its ordinary paperback...
yeah, it is
Oh, the new paperbacks we have, then! x3
Hmm...They look like the large paperbacks. *frowns*
I need those, anyway.
I need to buy all the large paperbacks apart from DD...I have it twice...
i wish my mum would let me do that type of stuff and be understanding of my obsession
It's only because of my brother >.<
I'm allowed an obsession so that I will cope and stuff.
yeah, i can see your newer book covers in the background of your picture
i want them!!
oh, ok
understood
Yup. I have two of each copy. Apart from DB and DD. I /did/ have a DB in the post...I think they lost it. >.<
I have to buy the hardbacks all again, though. I /do/ have SP twice...
i envy you L...
*laughs* That makes ONE person! :3
ive gotta think of really good reasons WHY i should have a giant SP collection so i can persude my mum
1. Statistics show that those who often read are more likely to have good grammar/punctuation/spelling than those who do not.
2. They're sexy.
3. It encourages you to read in other languages - Skully Fourbery/Detective Esqueleto etc.
4. It causes your imagination to be more active.
[...]
i like them...
i might say they could be worth A LOT of money when im older and if i had a heap of SP stuff, i could be very rich
*sighs*
It's 3 am, and yet I am back.
...Hello..,
hi Mist!
You don't understand how much mine is worth, NOW. *laughs*
Hello again, Mist!
*...
or maybe i'll just go beg my grandparents...
Hi guys.
*counts*
I have 11 SP books including my two copies of EOTW.
lucky you, L
*sighs*
well, begging my parents is probably a little too hard, so i'll just beg my grandparents
do some jobs around the house maybe for a little extra cash...
yeah, might use that as plan A
ive only got 7 books including EOTW
I have 30. I am about to buy 4 more. One WAS in the post, but I give up all hope of it ever turning up. *shrugs* OH WELL.
but then ive also got a giant Skulduggery
and i saw a poster in Dymocks that i might ask for...
I will get more when I get my exam results and stuff. *laughs*
I need to show you my wall, don't I?
I've not got any posters, yet...But it's still awesome! x3
please show L!
I have:
Skulduggery Pleasant (Aus Paperback X2)
Playing With Fire (Aus Paperback)
The Faceless Ones (Aus Paperback)
Dark Days (Aus Paperback)
Mortal Coil (Aus Paperback)
Mortal Coil (Large Paperback)
Death Bringer (Aus paperback)
Death Bringer (Large Paperback)

I'm getting a whole lot more very soon though.
I'll show you all soon! I just need to look for some large paperbacks I could buy....
this is mine:
Skulduggery Pleasant (Aus paperback)
Playing With Fire (Aus paperback)
The Faceless Ones (Aus paperback)
Dark Days (Aus paperback)
Mortal Coil (large paperback)
Death Bringer (large paperback)

There are so many, I can't. 8fwbNXWY8[RMAXWEUIRG0HJ

Gtg again.
