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...

And we're all his little minions

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh my God Derek took the name Moloch from Buffy! Aha! And I'm pretty sure he's a vampire too!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

cool!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi Eve.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

hi Eve

Eve the ROCK said...

*exits*

*re-enters*

Hi!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

This guy really is a Caelan. Seriously. He was banished, killed other vampires, kills the people he falls in love with...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

oh god...

Val, too true

hi again Eve

wbd

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Buffy: *pulls out cross bow*

Darla: *nods* Scary. *pulls out guns* Scarier.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

well, that backfired

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*curses loudly*


Dammit, why does this show make me actually feel a bit sorry for the creepy vampire?! WHY?!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*shakes Val by the shoulders*

NO! DO NOT FEEL SORRY!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

BUT HE BURNED HIMSELF WITH A CRUCIFIX JUST SO HE COULD BE NEAR BUFFY.


Could you do me a favour and punch me in the face? PLEASE?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

are you sure about this Val?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'm feeling sorry for a creepy stalker who is in a TV show.


Could I possibly be MORE sure?!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ok

*punches Val in the face*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

OW!



*nods to self* Yes, I feel much better.

Thank you.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

no prob

Eve the ROCK said...

Wait...there's a vampire called ANGEL?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yep. A creepy, stalker vampire who falls in love with young girls.


Death Bringer quote:

Caelan: You don't mean that.

Valkyrie: Yes, Caelan, I do. We're not BUFFY AND ANGEL, Romeo and Juliet, or those two from West Side Story. We're not even Edward and Bella, OK? You're far too creepy for me.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*freaky, not creepy

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

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

tomorrow I find out if my German cousin can get KOTW then if not then my friends I get the book off Amazon.

Bane Gloom said...

Did someone say hi to me? Do I say hi back? What's the standard here? WHAT'S THE PROCEDURE?

Eve the ROCK said...

*hugs* Awwww, Kallista, I was meant to make a post like that ever since I was forgotten, but unlucky for us all I made the post while I wasn't feeling so hot. I didn't put the oomph in. *will put the oomph in next time* I was kidding, though :)

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Bane!

Bane Gloom said...

Hello, people of the computer screen. I am Bane, and I came up with my name before Dark Knight Rises. It either makes me famous, or a tagalong

Eve the ROCK said...

Coincidence! Or not! I saw Dark Knight Rises just a few hours ago, and I'm like "WOAH, IT'S THE CREEPY GUY FROM THE MOVIE"


*munches confetti* You're a wonderful and beautiful person/goddes queen. That's why you got the Golden God Award. xD

Bane Gloom said...

Your name is epic as well Kallista Pendragon- The Beautiful Goddess Queen(and Thief in Black)

Bane Gloom said...

I'm not creepy. Just ignore my creepy smile

Eve the ROCK said...

Okay Bane, I want you to say this for me:

"Your punishment must be more severe."

Nixion Strange said...

Your punishment must be more severe

Nixion Strange said...

THAT'S RIGHT, I AM BACK FOR A DAY

Nixion Strange said...

How long did I have you fooled? I had me fooled for a while

Eve the ROCK said...

Yo Nixiono!

Nixion Strange said...

I AM Bane
MWAH HA HA
Seriously, I was seeing how long it would take for someone to notice if I was acting like myself... That sentence confused me

Eve the ROCK said...

Yo Nixiono!

Eve the ROCK said...

Have us fooled about what?

Nixion Strange said...

Yo Eve
*is too cool for any exclamation marks*
...
*eyelid twitching*
...
Yo!

Goddamnit Napa

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh. I thought you were just stealing Bane's line. That was his initiation to becoming my friend!

Baaaaaaane!

Eve the ROCK said...

Exclamation rules all!

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, Bane Gloom never exsisted
We are the only one-
I am the only one that is real
We
Well, you are talking to yourself
... What the f-
Or are you talking to Bane, which is me? Or am I just a nameless personality
... Get outa my head

Flame Phoenix said...

Hey

Nixion Strange said...

Now if that didn't confuse you you're smarter then me

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Flame!

... I thought you changed your name to Nighslayer?

Flame Phoenix said...

IM GOING TO SEE THE DARK KNIGHT RISES TONIGHT, BUT I BETTER GO PACK OR ELSE I WON'T BE ALLOWED GO>

Nixion Strange said...

I might be going this weekend

Flame Phoenix said...

Did, but i changed it back, too.
http://flamephoenixblogwithallthestuff.blogspot.ie/

Eve the ROCK said...

You know, I reckon I subconsciously recognized you when you said you had a creepy smile

hi Phoenix!!

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but I had to be careful not to use the * because a new person would not know to use them

Eve the ROCK said...

Ha ha! I've already seen it, nanananana!


I might disappear soon, warning

The internet's going funny.

I want to write something about Eve and Mahogany. But what?

Nixion Strange said...

Oh yeah, msd

Something? How about a... no ideas...

Eve the ROCK said...

Something random. A conversation about something or someone, or...

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Flame, I got my cabin. No one I requested was in it

Flame Phoenix said...

I only got Red...

Nixion Strange said...

I'm also the only guy, and the youngest
... What?

Nixion Strange said...

And I just looked at all the novels. Nothing like mine
What is with this? Why am I in this cabin? I have nothing to do with these people

Flame Phoenix said...

I gotta go.

BYE!

Drew O'Connor said...

Ah hoy hoy everyone!

Nixion Strange said...

A hoy hoy Em!

Drew O'Connor said...

Hey Nix, I have a bone to pick with you lol

You weren't impressed with my story??
That is so offensive lol

But I'm glad you've been won over now lol

Nixion Strange said...

At first I wasn't...

Drew O'Connor said...

How come?? lol
I didn't think it was that bad

Ah who am I kidding, it wasn't that good to begin with.

I've gotten better because of all the egging on I've been getting from everyone here

Nixion Strange said...

... You... I didn't...

Drew O'Connor said...

No egging on in a good way lol
Encouraging, that's the word I was looking for lo

Nixion Strange said...

I can't... you...

Drew O'Connor said...

What?
What's wrong?

Nixion Strange said...

... I haven't a clue

Drew O'Connor said...

Ok lol
That's alright

I think that's the first time I've seen you speechless lol

Nixion Strange said...

I'm not speechless, I'm emotionally unstable

Drew O'Connor said...

Me too but I mean on here, I've never seen you so speechless lol

Nixion Strange said...

I'm not speechless

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi guys!

Lynxia Lost said...

How is everyone?

Drew O'Connor said...

Heya Lynx

Nixion Strange said...

So emotionally unstable that I've almost fallen into tears twice today, and almost killed someone three times

Lynxia Lost said...

*gives Nix cupcake* Why? What's wrong?

Nixion Strange said...

*shrugs*

Nixion Strange said...

Someone gave me what was either constrctive crisisism or cruel pointing out everything I did wrong yesterday, and I felt so angry...

Drew O'Connor said...

That's alright Nix.

I cried 3 times yesterday, twice today and I've been close to killing my family at least 8 times today. I'm wondering if I can get to 10 before Ciaran gets to bed.

Lynxia Lost said...

Just ignore them. You get them everywhere and you just have to show them that you don't care what they say. *hugs* It'll be okay.

Nixion Strange said...

But I kinda do...
Look, in real life, I'm not really like I am here with most people until I get to know them. I'm shy, scared and I always feel so small. I care about what others think of me...

Lynxia Lost said...

Back.

It's good to be like that Nix. I'm just not good at the whole criticism thing so I get really defensive. You just have to learn to be happy with what you do, yes, take other people into consideration but overall, it's your work so you're the one who has to be happy with it.

Nixion Strange said...

Yokay

It was on the forum, and I put my character up there, you know, Nix, and this person said the character's one of the worst he's ever seen, it's all over the place

Lynxia Lost said...

Well, I'm sure that guy's character is worse. Just because your character is different to his doesn't give him the right to be mean. He's just being spiteful. He's one guy when here, everyone loves Nix. He's loveable in a... 'Try to hug me and I'll kill you' kinda way. Know what I mean??

Nixion Strange said...

I have to get some sleep now
Bye!

Lynxia Lost said...

Night Nix! *hugs*

Drew O'Connor said...

Look Nix, we can always make ourselves who we want to be in real life.

I am not this outspoken or funny in real life either.

I constantly get beaten down mentally and emotionally by my family. Even though I'm an adult and a mother, I am not on equal ground.

I am on medication for anti anxiety and worse. I am never on a good day.

But when it comes to owning my own mind, I do it with grace. By being who I am on here, I hold a bit of myself so proudly that it makes all the shit worth it.

You just have to keep in mind that when you are here, you are priceless. So no matter what happens outside, it is just another wall for you to proudly get over before everyone else realises that you are worth something.

Hang in there Nix!

Lynxia Lost said...

Great advice Em!!

Willow Storm said...

Hello!
How is everyone?

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi Willow!

I'm okay, holidays started today.
You?

Willow Storm said...

Tired. Our Holidays started ages ago, much to my disappointment. I was having so much fun, in those last few weeks.

Willow Storm said...

Has anyone read 'The Carrier of the Mark'? It's really good.

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm sure the holidays will get better Willow.

*sighs* I discovered today that I suck at writing battle scenes...

Lynxia Lost said...

No, not read it. Sorry.

Lynxia Lost said...

I gotta go! Bye!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

The almost silent exchange of books:

Not watching the rockclimbing, btw. Just satching the swimming. I was DOING the rockclimbing. I skinned both my elbows. They sting. It's not particularly painful; just annoying.

Star Inkbright said...

*watching

I was hot during so I took my hoodie off, which I have done twice in over two years of rockclimbing. So my arms weren't protected like they usually are.

Star Inkbright said...

Nixion Strange said...

Uh, bored and considering coming back

Hey

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi Nix! *hands him a bottle of eyeballs*


Here you go!

Nixion Strange said...

Thank you Val!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

You're welcome! They taste great on toast!

Nixion Strange said...

I was thinking more of a light snack. Serve them on a little plate

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, and sorry about that
msd

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

About what?

Nixion Strange said...

Disappearing... for 5 minutes, which is so little time, no one would notice

Eve the ROCK said...

I took care of the apple. I bought it, I took it home, I washed it, I dried it, I used my sleeve to shine it. Abd now I will munch it.

Oh my god, that is tasty.

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Eve!

brb

Eve the ROCK said...

You failed, Nix. You failed miserably. XD

Nixion Strange said...

Failed at what?

Eve the ROCK said...

Sorry I wasn't here before, it was the Transfirmer, Blackout. Wanna read my Eve and Moggy fragment of a fragment of a story?

Nixion Strange said...

Okay
Failed at what?

Eve the ROCK said...

Failed at leaving for a couple of weeks. :D

Nixion Strange said...

... You know, I'm not back, and a comment at that just makes me want to leave, so I'm going to in a minute

Eve the ROCK said...

I realized I hadn't really shown anyone what Mahogany is like. We're like sisters, and we randomly bump into each other while somewhere in the world. So,


Eve and Mahogany 

Mahogany added a third layer of peanut butter onto a piece of wholemeal bread and licked the rest off the buttering knife. Eve observed the experiment disgustedly. 
"Ew," she said and was ignored when Mahogany started squirting tomato sauce onto the peanut butter. After that, a thick blanket of pepper. Mahogany stuffed the abomination into her abnormally large mouth, and shrugged disappointedly as she tasted. Taking another slice of bread, she tried a different combination, starting with lemonade which soaked through the bread.
"You eat a lot," Eve remarked.
Mahogany looked up, her hands hovering at chest height. "Healthy food only."
"So chocolate sauce on potato chips in a cheeseburger is healthy?"
"Healthy for the SOUL."
Shielding herself from a puff of flour, Eve looked around at Mahogany's house. "You know, when you said you'd gotten a place of your own, I didn't believe you."
Mahogany shrugged and smiled. "A lot can happen in a period of time, girlfriend. Or should I say... Wait, I forgot how to speak Japanese. Never mind."
"Poland, Mahogany. We're in Poland."
"That doesn't make me remember Japanese again. What brought you to my wonderful country anyway?"
"You don't have a country, Moggy," Eve said, a smile rising on her lips. "Neither of us do."
Mahogany looked away. "Eve, I've changed. Suddenly I like the idea of a permanent home. I want to -"
A noise came from the front of the house. Someone was unlocking the door. With a key.
Eve's blue eyes studied Mahogany's face, which was slightly tanned from some exotic and sunny holiday.
Her sisterly friend struggled to maintain her composure. "Well," she began, a little flustered. "I guess my mind changed back." The two of them put on awesome sunglasses. "Let's roll."
Successfully sneaking out of the house Mahogany had broken into, she and Eve made for an airport.

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh come on, take a joke, Nix

Nixion Strange said...

Good Eve!

Nixion Strange said...

Eve, I'll already cried twice today. Obviously, I cannot take a joke

Nixion Strange said...

Hey, a mood swing came by
Please ignore my last comment

Eve the ROCK said...

Thanks.

Ah, yes. Well, I take my joke back then

Eve the ROCK said...

Okay then *ignores it*

Nixion Strange said...

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole

Oh, and by the way, I still won't be on all the time. Mostly just weekends for a while

Eve the ROCK said...

You know what? Mahogany is my favourite and the best character I've ever created. I like her better than myself.

Nixion Strange said...

Well, she'd be in Nix and Mist. Which we really need to get a move on...
I'm writing my first Nix story outside Nix and Mist

Eve the ROCK said...

Yep, sure. I hardly come on on weekdays anyway

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, and it's good that you're not just using her face and changing her drastically to suit your story. Thanks for that. Are you writing the next chapter?

Oh,yeah? What's it called?

Nixion Strange said...

Mist's writing the next chapter. This chapter is... difficult

I don't know yet. I don't even know what it's about, or when it'll be out.
