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...

hahahahahahhaa becky came ahahahahahahhahaha

AndrewTheNerd said...

Damn, I'll probably never be able to go to a signing with any of Le Gang and I'll just be depressed sitting here while everyone else is having fun together. That's actually the worst feeling in the world.

Star Inkbright said...

The rest of my family was watching the tennis. /6

Mary Contrary said...

Nice idea, Kal. I didn't know it was HellBoy's birthday tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get to talk to him then.

And I WAS watching the Tennis. But I got kinda bored, y'know. :P

Luciana said...

Andrew, at least you've met Derek! I PROBABLY WON'T EVER MEET HIM AND BE 69EVR ALONE WHILST ALL OF LE GANG ARE OUT SOMEWHERE.

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs*

L/Luciana/Jordan can't go to a signing either, Andrew . . . 9(

AndrewTheNerd said...

It's not meeting Derek.
It's meeting you guys.

Becky Allaker said...

The good thing with me is that because I never go on holidays or anything I can ask to go to a signing without feeling guilty x3

Luciana said...

Star remembered my name. *hugs* I didn't think anyone would.

ANDREW, YOU'RE GOING TO BE HELPING ME AND ELLIKINS MOVE INTO IRELAND WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

Becky Allaker said...

andrew OH MY GOD *hugs the fucking life out of you*

Star Inkbright said...

*sighs*

*gives up*

*is a fed up glass-eyed octopus* c_o

Cat said...

oh, world

Mary Contrary said...

Sorry if I'm distant.
I keep deciding that everything I type is too bad-mood-y, and deleting it all. :P

Becky Allaker said...

Blink 182 just came on shuffle and this makes me happy.

Star Inkbright said...

COURSE I REMEMBERED YOUR NAME, JORDAN!!!!!

And, your middle name is Robyn :) *has got rid of glass eyes and got new plastic-surgery ones*

Becky Allaker said...

WE CAN LIVE LIKE JACK AND SALLY IF WE WANT, WHERE YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND ME. AND WE'LL HAVE HALLOWEEN ON CHRISTMAS, AND IN THE NIGHT WE'LL WISH THIS NEVER ENDS

Luciana said...

Hello, Cat.
BLINK 182 ARE BEAUTIFUL.

ANDREW. *attacks with soggy iced rainbow baguette flavoured with cherries*
*runs away*

Becky Allaker said...

Mary Contrary said...

Blink 182...?
*wanders over to YouTube*

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Cat!

Luciana said...

*hugs Star* I didn't think anyone ever paid any attention to me... *is almost crying*

Becky Allaker said...

Yeeeessssssss. Blink 182. I ONLY LIKE A COUPLE OF THEIR SONGS BUT THEY ARE AMAZE.


I'm gonna listen to Ben Howard now and cry over his musical perfection.

Cat said...

Cat said...

Luciana said...

Becky Allaker said...

Star Inkbright said...

Mary Contrary said...

I will, Becky. ^-^

Cat said...

im sorry! *goes and sits in a pit.*

AndrewTheNerd said...

Anyone like The Midnight Beast?

Star Inkbright said...

. . . Can't. Sorry.

We need an apologetic smily . . .

Becky Allaker said...

Okay good! This is Ben Howard, Folk artist, I suppose. I could decide whether to link you to Promise, Black Flies or Diamonds, so I decided on Black Flies because it was what came on shuffle x3.

Becky Allaker said...

couldn't*

AndrewTheNerd said...

Oh. BT Dubz. Anyone else want to e-mail me for the awards. (I'm doing them, ioweyouamug@gmail.com for your votes!)

Mary Contrary said...

I haven't heard of them, Andrew. *plans to Google that, in a minute*

Awesome, Becky. *goes to listen*

Luciana said...

I told you I got someone to do the e-mail. *grins*
I need to add you to the blog, so you can announce them for us....

Becky Allaker said...

I'm also gonna be seeing him live at Latitude Festival next Sunday, i'm so bloody excited. I'll be sitting there in my Thor helmet, sobbing my eyes out when he plays this. *hardcoregodofthunder*

Becky Allaker said...

Cat said...

omidoctor

Mary Contrary said...

*reappears*

I had a question to ask Derek. Which I didn't ask.

Mister Landy, what would be the strangest/largest/perplexing object that has been brought to a signing of yours? (Not including the unicorn, I mean.)

I bet MY idea'll be far better that whatever the answer is... *REG*

*disappears again*

Star Inkbright said...

:/

How am I meant to give you that???

AndrewTheNerd said...

Luciana said...

OH

I WISH I HAD £100. SO FUCKING MUCH I CAN'T. ACTUALLY CANNOT.

Luciana said...

THIS IS WHY I NEED A JOB.

Niamhy Jay said...

Hello All!!
I am back!!

I FINISHED HELLBOY'S BIRTHDAY STORY :D *is proud of self*

How is everyone??

Luciana said...

HELLO!

AND ANNOYED.

Niamhy Jay said...

Why?
Why are you annoyed??

Luciana said...

BECAUSE I NEED MONEY.

Mary Contrary said...

*returns, again*
Screw revision. I'll fail in maths. Just you watch me.

Niamhy Jay said...

So do I.
I'm going to be 17 in just over a year and nowhere near being able to afford a car AND insurance.
But what do you need the money for?

Mary Contrary said...

NJ!! *glomps*
Hi!!

How're you?

Niamhy Jay said...

Hey Taia!
*glomps back*

I am good :D

How be you??

Star Inkbright said...

Sorry, phone died . . .

Hi NJ!!!

Mary Contrary said...

Well, I'm feeling better than I was before I came on here, which is an improvement. I think I'm almost happy. :P

Niamhy Jay said...

Hey Star!
*hugs*
How're you??

Niamhy Jay said...

Hello Cat!

Star Inkbright said...

I am inky, NJ.

Niamhy Jay said...

What?

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Cat!

Luciana said...

SORRY
I POOFED.

TRYING TO EARN MONEY. *laughs*

Niamhy Jay said...

Fair enough

Luciana said...

DEREK. MUST. BLOGSPEAK.
I HAVE A QUESTION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.

Mary Contrary said...

NJ!
You didn't tell me you'd posted Part 3 of Betrayal!! OR Part 2, for that matter.
Or maybe I'm just very unobservant...

*dashes off to read them*

Becky Allaker said...

YES SO DO I

LIKE

AQUAFRESH OR COLGATE?!

Mary Contrary said...

Indeed, Luciana.
I too have a question to be answered...
Or, quite a few, really. :P

Luciana said...

WE HAVE GREAT QUESTIONS>

Luciana said...

THEY NEED ANSWERINGGGGGGGGG.

Niamhy Jay said...

As do I!
WHEN IS FLETCHER'S BIRTHDAY?!?!
I WANT TO KNOW!!
I NEED TO KNOW!!
WHEN IS MY FLETCHER'S BIRTHDAY?!?!

Derek Landy said...

Hi BloodButterflies!

Hi Kallista, and of course I'll wish Hellboy a happy birthday for tomorrow..

Hellboy? Happy birthday!!

Taia- so the weirdest thing brought to a signing that is NOT a unicorn? Hmmm... There have been loads of drawings, a few Lego Skulduggerys, a few models, a LOT of cupcakes and cakes... Ooooh but you know what one of my favourites was? These girls had gone off and bought a Barbie-like doll, opened it up and started drawing tattoos all over it. Then they put it back in the box and presented it to me as "Melancholia". I thought that was just BRILLIANT.

And now I must depart. I'm heading out this evening, and I'm NOT in a good mood cuz Chael Sonnen lost his fight... bah...

Becky Allaker said...

DEREEEEK

Becky Allaker said...

COME BACK

Niamhy Jay said...

DEREK OMG THANK YOU!!
WHEN IS FLETCHER'S BIRTHDAY!!
WHEN IS MY HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY!?
TELL ME!!

Cat said...

bye world. Hello, Derek, thank you for calling in... making my day... are you reading anyhting? what is it?

Luciana said...

DEREK WHAAAAAATTTTT ARE YOU DOING?
I was too busy telling Becky she was amazing.
GAAAAAAAAAH.
WE HAVE QUESTIONS.

Becky Allaker said...

AND SO HE LEFT

WITHOUT A TRACE

HE JUST LEFT BLOGLAND WITH A SAD LOOK UPON HIS FACE


WE SHOULD HAVE ENGAGED THE STUPID TRAP

WE SHOULD HAVE MADE HIM WRITE FOR US

IF WE'D HAVE KNOWN FOR JUST ONE SECOND HE WOULD ONLY TALK TO UUUUS

Becky Allaker said...

BLAME ME *sobs*

Mary Contrary said...

LOL! That is AMAZING, Derek. I'd agree that that was a brilliant idea.
Thanks! I think that may have actually pushed me into the boundaries of happy for a while! :D
*glomps Derek* Enjoy yourself!!

Still, I think what I plan to bring, if ever I make it to one of your signings, might just be as epic as a Melancholia-Doll...
But it's strictly a surprise. *nods*

Luciana said...

I BLAME.....
UH...
THE SPOON. *points at wooden spoon lent against a tree*

Callum McCarthy (Joel Reach) said...

Hello?

Star Inkbright said...

. . . O_O

This occasoon is not worthy of words . . .

Becky Allaker said...

Jordan do NOT SPEAK OF WOODEN SPOONS YOU KNOW DEREK HAS A COMPLEX AFTER HIS WIFE BEAT HIM WITH ONE.

Mary Contrary said...

I love that Derek appeared at that perfect time. Just when we were asking him to appear.

Too bad he couldn't stay to answer all of the questions, though...

Becky Allaker said...

Oh, Olivia.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Joel!

*glares at spoon* BAD spoon.

Luciana said...

IT'S DEREK'S FAULT FOR NOT STAYING TO ANSWER MY QUESTION.


Hullo~

Mary Contrary said...

Maybe it's timing's fault, for not being more convenient.
*nods*

Becky Allaker said...

I only just realised Derek mentioned Clarabelle the Unicorn.


ok i'm happy

Gepard Valk said...

Mary Contrary said...

I mean, I only just noticed. Like, two minutes ago. Like, haven't even read the challenge yet. :P

Gepard Valk said...

Bitter Becky. Sounds like a pr0n site . . .

Cat said...

Do whatever you want

Mary Contrary said...

Yes, Gep, I do. It's very accurate. Maybe I should try it out. I have all of the equipment already.
What sort of area should I be looking in, in order to catch a writer?

Cat said...

Cat said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sunburn's gone, but my skin's still a little tanner than I'd like (meaning it's the color of normal people skin).

Becky Allaker said...

Becky Allaker said...

Colleen McGuigan said...

Becky Allaker said...

I HAVE A DRAWING OF SKULDUGGERY ACTING LIKE SKULDUGGERY.


What an imagination i have *sighs and faceplants desk*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I have a drawing of Skulduggery's head, not because I just wanted a head but because I couldn't draw his body.

Noelle said...

I've got a drawing of Skulduggery's full form on one of my blogs...

Noelle said...

*gasp* did I get it???

Luciana said...

Yeah, you got it, Adra!

Okay. Hi Luce, Val, Cat....

Hi/bye Lynxia.






*crosses arms and grumbles at Derek* You still aren't coming to America.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Dearest Derek Landy,

I'm certain that a certain Kallista has already informed you already, but in the off chance that you either did not read or, heaven forbid, did not choose to take her advice in the matter, I have decided to come here myself and make a formal request of my own.

You see, on this day sixteen years ago, a little baby boy was born. He grew and came to this world to become one of your minions a few years back, and as such, has remained wholly loyal to you ever since.

His name, as it were, is top secret, of course. After all, you couldn't have your top minions being tracked down, now could you? So he took a name of his own. That name was Israel Elysium; however, this name became, shall we say, not completely sufficient to his character, personality, and, if I may be so blunt, Derektasticness. Therefore, he acquired an additional name that is spoken in awe and meritorious respect.
He is known today... as Hellboy.

I come to you at this time to request, and, even to solicit from you an honoring of his loyalty and further, his pure epica-ness by wishing him a very happy birthday.

I hope you understand why I have come here to ask of it. After all, he is awesome. So I hope, indeed, that you will answer my request and we shall all hear from you very, very soon.

Yours truly,
Skyril Oblivion

Noelle said...

Exactly, Val. We should go on strike!!!!

Noelle said...

Nice Skyril...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'm starting an angry mob soon. I'll do it. I will.

Luciana said...

I have garlic butter on my wrist...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Going for a little bit, bye

Luciana said...

Bye, Val!

Noelle said...

Bye Val!!!

If anyone cares, which I honestly doubt, I have a new blog for all of my drawings and stuff.
http://followthepen.blogspot.com/

Luciana said...

Skyril, that was amazing!

Becky Allaker said...

boo

Luciana said...

Beckles. *nods*

*bursts out laughing*

*walks away*
