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...

Actually Eve, that's the original. When the showed it in Australia, they replaced the bleaping with a couple of insults

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh. Well in that case,

o_O

Lavender Hope said...

I'm going to be distant from now.

Eve the ROCK said...

Okay Lavereno

Lavender Hope said...

Nix, sent you another email.

Eve the ROCK said...

*cries* Why aren't you sending ME any emails? :'(

(:P)

Lavender Hope said...

Eeevvveee. Email. ;P

Nixion Strange said...

Dinner
Bye!

Lavender Hope said...

Bye Nix!

Eve the ROCK said...

Ahahaha. Thanks xP

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm constantly on the look-out for KOTW....

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Flame!

Flame Phoenix said...

Reading over comments on the last page, and I couldn't help but laugh.


@Em and Adra if you read this;
I didn't mean to offend you. I MEANT some authors can't accept books to sign or send them back. Lots of authors can't do that for example; Darren Shan and Cassandra Clare. No need to rant.
And Em, you've been on like... TWICE while I was here. You don't know me that well, then. That's what blogland used to be like; role fighting and messing. Most of that stopped when the dark days came over... So, please don't judge in the future. (and if you were talking about me AND Val, that's just us... We live to kill each other) Other than that, I don't know HOW else I could've offended you.

Flame Phoenix said...

Hey Eve, Lav. *hugs*

Lavender Hope said...

Gtg. Dinner. Bye!

Flame Phoenix said...

BYe.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Flame Phoenix said...

HEy Nix.

Flame Phoenix said...

@NIXION.
YOU DEAD MANNNNNNN!

Nixion Strange said...

Any reason?

Flame Phoenix said...

Your writing is too good and it's distracting me from my own!!!!!!!!

Nixion Strange said...

Nix and Mist?

Flame Phoenix said...

Oh, and can you author me to what if?

Nixion Strange said...

Yep, hang on

Flame Phoenix said...

It was all different.
It had been ever since the silence took over. They were watching, watching everywhere. They had spies; animals. Crows that flew overhead and perched on trees, watching you, Rats that lay in the shadows watching you with red beady eyes.
Marissa Hearth followed her cell walls around her, until she completed the full square. She loved the cell’s padded walls. She loved the whiteness that surrounded her. She loved how she no longer knew which way was up and which way was down. She loved how she no longer knew herself anymore; they had taken this all away from her. There was nothing in the room but padding. White, dull padding that had drove Marissa insane. They had silenced her. That’s what they were best at; silencing people.
Marissa fell, landing heavily onto the hard padding below her. She let out a deluded giggle. She did this most; it was her favourite thing to do, pretend she was lying on the roof looking down at the ground. She didn’t know the difference anymore, the laws of gravity irrelevant. Her black hair strewn across the white ground looked like an ink stain on a bright white carpet. Her arms crossed into her chest, restricted by the straight jacket, pale skin, almost as white as the padding.
Someone entered the room, a woman in a too tight grey uniform with big brass buttons and the click of her shoes echoed throughout the white padded room. She was one of the Silences. Silence…

Nixion Strange said...

I can't get your email from my, you know, email, it's not working
Can you paste it here

Nixion Strange said...

Never mind, got it

Flame Phoenix said...

Anybody here?

Nixion Strange said...

Yeeeeah

Flame Phoenix said...

G2G

Flame Phoenix said...

zoey tear said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello, I like cheese.

Noelle said...

YOU'RE FROM WISCONSIN???

Drew O'Connor said...

Is the secret nearly finished Adra?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*looks blankly at Adra*

Noelle said...

noooooo!!!!
Like, I tried to get it to work... And my computer nearly failed...
I'll leave you in wait.
LIKE YOU DID TO ME WITH DUBLIN DAES

Noelle said...

Wisconsin. The state food or something is cheese.

Drew O'Connor said...

Oh you cheeky so and so lol

I'm not leaving you in wait!
It is twenty past 11 at night and I am halfway through chapter 11

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'd like to dedicate this page to... Derek.
in all of his golden-godness
*hugs him from America*
also in hopes that he sends back a letter and my book with the pre-paid return mail*

Noelle said...

shhhh...

Drew O'Connor said...

You asked if you wanted to see the paragraph. I have you an a or b option and you chose not to look at it.

I did nothing :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I was just thinking - as I always am thinking; I'm quite good at it - that really, if anyone wanted to talk to someone else on here in the same country, all they would have to do is give them a phone number.


That's an odd thought, isn't it?

Noelle said...

*goes silent*

ohmygod
FAIL

Eve the ROCK said...

*samples Val's blood and runs away*

Noelle said...

*is under suspicion Val stalks her, after getting phone calls from Washington ALL THE TIME*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*runs after Eve like the psychopath I am*

Drew O'Connor said...

That's mental yeah lol
And if they are close enough to one another they could actually meet!!

Wow that's even more mental

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*gives Adra skeptical look*

I would only have your phone number by now if I knew your real name. *evil grin*

I have Derek's phone number.

Noelle said...

EVE!!!
*hugs*
*trips as Eve is actually miles away*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*mutters* Too bad I'm not in Ireland...

Noelle said...

SERIOUSLY????
no..
Really????/
no...

And I've said it before!!! Noelle.

Drew O'Connor said...

So come on Adra, you have me wondering what your up to lol

*puts on puppy dog eyes and cute sad pout*

pwetty pweety pwease

Noelle said...

haha NO.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*gags* My sister just told me to drink lemon juice, and being the strange girl I am, I drank it.

BAD DECISION.

Eve the ROCK said...

*kicks Val and hugs Adra* Sorry, van't stay, bye!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh, and yeah, I definitely have Derek's number. I've even tried calling.


HE NEVER ANSWERS.

Eve the ROCK said...

What's wrong with lemon juice? I eat whole lemons. XD

Bye now!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*bites Eve's arm extremely hard, leaving a bleeding mark*

Bye Eve!

Drew O'Connor said...

Fine.

You want to play childish that's fine, I can do that to.

I am not putting up another Dublin Daes chapter while Adra is being sneaky with me.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Lemon juice is SOUR. That's what's wrong with it.




I asked my sister to bring me water to get the weird taste out of my mouth and she brought me a water bottle that was empty except for the lemon juice that she poured in it XD


Evil, evil sisters...

Noelle said...

LOL VAL. REALLY????
and EM i can't because it takes FOREVER to load...

Stupid, stupid, iPod. I had a long answer written to you, Gep, and it refreshed the page.

Oh and GUYS! I have two new story ideas! Yesssssssss!

Gepard Valk said...

I GOTS TO GO. BAI GUIZ xD

Drew O'Connor said...

I'm still here, just watching the end of last night's Destination Truth.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Asking someone for their phone number would be weird.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi Flame! *tosses lemon juice into his eyes*

Flame Phoenix said...

*zombie bites off Vals head*

Plan?

Noelle said...

You're weird. I've done it before. Really, its awkward for, like, ten seconds. Then you get over it.
Doctor Who awesomeness:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enh4-K0hN2E

*tackles Zaf back*
ZAFIRA!!!!!

Drew O'Connor said...

God Destination Truth is getting better. F**king terrifying this series.

Anyway I'm back!!

Flame Phoenix said...

Ohhhhh! Anybody want to hear the ideas, no?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*takes head back*


I don't think now would work... We have to do it with Rim too

Flame Phoenix said...

Em, you watch nikita?

Flame Phoenix said...

Hm, an plus it's only Em and Adra. We need at least Nix and Mist.

Flame Phoenix said...

*whispers to Val*

Dont tell...

Noelle said...

WAIT
FoR WHAT

Drew O'Connor said...

No never really got into Nikita

Destination Truth is the only thing I watch from SyFy really.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Pffft, I wasn't planning on telling. Why on earth would I do that?

Drew O'Connor said...

That paragraph is calling to me again.

Is Chapter 11 too soon for Ellie to find out about Drew?

It seems a bit premature and yet the paragraph is calling to me again.

Noelle said...

GAHHH I WANNA BE PART OF SOMETHING!!! *waves hands around, and drowns*

Syfy... LOL I watch tons of shows there

Noelle said...

lol. go for it...

Flame Phoenix said...

I watch it on Living...

Do you watch Haven?

Or Secret Circle?

Noelle said...

I watch Vampire Diaries.. If you know of Secret Circle, then you know VD.

Drew O'Connor said...

Vampire Diaries are cool, I watch that

I watched like one series of Haven and just couldn't get back into it.

Hey Adra, what were you up to earlier?

Flame Phoenix said...

Yes, but I don't watch it...

They're aren't making a SC series two... *sob*

Noelle said...

Awww... I love it!!! Dalena all the way.... Hate Stefan.

Em.
Really.. I... It's nothing bad. REALLY!!! ITS JUST ME PLAYING A FLIPPING PIANO AND TALKING

Flame Phoenix said...

What's the one... Something blood. Vampires in it too..

Sookie is a characther.

Drew O'Connor said...

I never said it was anything bad lol I was excited about it, just to see what creative thing you were up to

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

True Blood?

Flame Phoenix said...

Thats the one, Val, you watch it?

Flame Phoenix said...

I suppose no one wants to know my new story ideas.

Drew O'Connor said...

Just get cracking with them Flame.
Why spoil the surprise.

Cause with me, everyone is reading Dublin Daes, but what they don't know is that I'm writing two more stories while I'm writing Dublin Daes.

It's always about the element of surprise ;)

Noelle said...

Em. I never said that was all. :D

Noelle said...

well now we know... :D

Val whats that Chameleon Circuit song thing called

Flame Phoenix said...

I can't write.... :(

Drew O'Connor said...

Oh good god lol

Your so suspiciously crafty Adra lol

Drew O'Connor said...

That's probably cause your thinking too much.

You just need to sit and imagine what you would want to see if you were reading it.

That helps, sometimes.

Noelle said...

LOL/ nvm

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

The Big Bang Two?

Oh, and I can play the creepy 'Tick, tock, goes the clock song' on my cello :D





Flame I wanna hear the ideas!

Noelle said...

NOOO NEVERMING the Awful lot of running one..
and the doctor is dyin.
thats a good one

Flame Phoenix said...

No, I can't write because I was in hospital again today..

And, Val... Email them?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sure, Flame. I emailed you anyway.



Oh, and I don't watch True Blood, but almost all the adults on my dad's side watch it... They won't let me

Drew O'Connor said...

Adra,

is Chapter 11 too early for Ellie to find out about Drew or should I make it that she almost finds out?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

The Time Lords returning, the Earth will be burning, the last white point star is a trap for the Master,
The Doctor is dying,
The Doctor is dying,
The Doctor is dying,
The Doctor is dying,
I don't want to go...


Love that one :D

Noelle said...

almost... It depends on how pissed u want her to be when she find out. If not so much, then now. if REALLY PISSED. later... hang on lemme email you...

Noelle said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npGYoFTZdlI

Drew O'Connor said...

I replied to you Adra.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Baby Turtles + raspberries + epic music = awesome

Drew O'Connor said...

Night Night everyone!!!

Noelle said...

Flame Phoenix said...

Noelle said...

*hugs*

Noelle said...

SILENCE WILL FALL
*notices tally marks all over her arms*

uh...

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

Im aliiiiive

Sorry children gone mental

Noelle said...

Yeo.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*has tally marks all over arms, legs, and face*


*notices gun in hand and the smell of gun smoke*


Um... That can't be good.

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

Val what did you do????

*sits in in tree*

Helena Ember Sky said...

*looks at arms* *screams* Tally marks, tally marks everywhere! *runs in circles screaming* THE SILENCE! THE SILENCE!

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

Lost in the darkness silence surrounds you

Noelle said...

*screams*

*lightning bolts*
YoU sHoulD kiLl uS aLl oN sIghT

Helena Ember Sky said...

Demons run when a good man goes to war
Night will fall and drown in sun
When a good man goes to war
Friendship dies and true love lies
Night will fall and the dark will rise
When a good man goes to war
Demons run but count the cost
The battles won but the child is lost

Noelle said...

*dies*
*goes to bed*
night yall!!!
*waves*
*hugs*
*flies off in the Tardis*

Helena Ember Sky said...

*looks at arms* Sorry, what was I saying? *hops on to tree branch* *starts humming*

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

*Jekyll and Hyde music plays*

Helena Ember Sky said...

*waves back*
*hugs back*
*stares longingly at the TARDIS*
*whispers sadly* Night.

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

Lost in the darkness,
Silence surrounds you.
Once there was morning,
Now endless night.

If I could reach you,
I'd guide you and teach you
To walk from the darkness
Back into the light.

Deep in your silence,
Please try to hear me;
I'll keep you near me
Till night passes by.

I will find the answer.
I'll never desert you
I promise you this
Till the day that I die...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Urgh, dying. Is that ALL people talk about nowadays?

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

That was Lost in The Darkness from Jekyll and Hyde

Helena Ember Sky said...

I know! But did you have to bring down the mood with death? Be like Derek, never kill your favorite characters especially if one of them is already dead. I kill my characters usually but that's just out of spite... Everything is about death isn't it? Always has been...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Bye!

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

Bye.....

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Death keeps calling me, she's gonna set you free, no more sunshine, sidewalks, streets, misery...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

MUFFINSSSSSSSSSSSSSsss

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

You people who are not here are making me lonely...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

FINALLY, ANOTHER LIVING BEING HAS ARRIVED.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*laughs*

i never said LIVING





ok, well, i am alive

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Well, I was wrong anyway.







I'm dead. *grins*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I have The Dog Days Are Over in my head

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

thats a good song

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yeah, I like it

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Our conversations have a tendency to go absolutely nowhere.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i know

*is humming to The Dog Days Are Over*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hmmmm... I wonder what it would be like to have red hair...


*thinks*

Pffft, I'll just ask Amanda. Eventually.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*laughs*

eventually

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

alrightio

gotta go


byeeee!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Byyyyyyyyye Miss

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And then the loneliness of the moment seeps into Blogland like water seeps into a sponge.

Lavender Hope said...

Hello? Anyone here? I'm here for a bit.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Laaaaaaaaaaavvvvv

Lavender Hope said...
