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...

How high and low.
Well, he's got quite a voice range, there, doesn't he???
Have you seen his literal trailers?
There I was, having a weird and wonderful dream about a lynx who was friends with the singing toads (they did like me xD) and all the animals in my backyard, and then it suddenly turned vicious and then I was the lynx and oh god it was so fun killing everyone I was just running and skidding and twisting and snapping it was sooooo fun.
And then I had the most horrible dream after to ruin it.
Eve! Hey! *hugs*
Horrible dream???
Want to talk about it?
Lol, Minecraft convo.
FTW, Kim
Stargate, Ubisoft, Sparkle!
Fade in, to the left hand, of a sleepy man, how'd he fall asleep there?
Help up, the sleepy hooded man, that's what beds are for, drag him cross the stone floor.
Front shot then a shot, from the ceiling.
He could get carpet burned, slow fade.
I think I've seen the Literals.
The My Soul to Take. That's my favorite... Especially the HAGRID'S HUNGRY
bit
Hi! *hugs*'
It was kind of a mix between my friends here and friends from school, which made it worse.... There was this party at my house, every year 7 from my school was invited, and I went into a room that had a bookshelf in it, and there was this book, it was all...ugh, on the front it had snakes coiling around a little girl, and when I opened it there were no pages, it was just the girl holding something black in her hand. I knew that if I touched it It would open a potal to some hellish place, but I wanted to go there, curiosity got the better of me. So I asked a few friends to come with me, from here and school, and someone sent their little sister instead of them... Terrifying. We went in there, and there was this horrible monster, it was just... Horror. And we were stabbing at it but it wouldn't die, I thought I was in the safe zone, but everyone was running away, abandoning me, so I had to keep the monster back and I ran to the door where it would be safe, and the monster grabbed me and I chopped of its hand and I almost closed the door but realized that I needed to take the hand with me to end this, so I took it and closed the door, and I put the hand on the book and just kept stabbing and killing it, and everyone starting feeling sad and crying and not wanting me to kill it but I told them it was the spell and I killed it and the book and hand was destroyed.... No one remembered a thing but me. And then the next day the book was there In the bookshelf. I was trying to keep everyone from opening it, but I think they did....
*falls over* ugh.
That's quite a nightmare 0.0
I can go sing Soft Kitty???? *I'm just teasing*
You okay, though?
I think it's weird how I was so desperate to protect everyone from the book, and yet when we were actually fighting the thing I didn't help at all, just let them fight it on their own...
Hehe. Yeah, I'm okay.
*breathes out* okay. that's good.
Haha so how have you been, besides the emotionally scarring dream?
hi!
Eve, creepy dream...
I remember that need to protect everyone, that responsibility over everyome's lives, I remember that from other dreams.
And I often dream about my little brother dying right in front of me. When someone sent their little sister with me, I think that means the same thing. But what DOES it mean?
Oh, I'm pretty goose. You?
Hi Miss!
Hey Cain :d
WAZAPPPP
And what it means? Uh, maybe thatttttttt you may feel helpless against a situation, and take fault for it.
maybe.
I think the transition between two different dreams is telling me something too. I mean, first I'm killing everyone and having fun...*thinks* I didn't know them. I'd just met them.the second dream, those were my friends. Hmm.
I wasn't really taking fault for it, I was just....
*thinks*
they might have a link Eve...
Oh. Well, don't over think it. I'd just let it go. If you have a similar dream, I'd let it go, but it it happens again, I'd look into it. :D
So no worries, dear :D
i used to have similar dreams quite often...
i cant remember what they involve but they used to be basically identical
but that was a while ago
*is eating cumpets*
soo yummy!
I dream occassionally...Once, I dreamt I was in a zombie apocalypse with my family and Tanith Low and we went into this weird cavern with vines all over and my friend got his arms ripped off by a zombie.
What I want to do is lucid dream. Don't know what it is? Look it up, it's cool.
And I best be off. Adieu.
(>^.^)>The Dream Lives-THIS CHRISTMAS<(^.^<)
bye Kim!
You know, I once had a dream that there was something in my room. In my dream, I knew that it was a ghost...
Anyway, i couldn't move, I couldn't scream for help. Nothing.
And finally, when the weight was lifted enough that I could yell for someone, the door opened, and this tall figure in a dark suit was there... He raised his hand, and... Scary images.
Right.
I just blamed the dream on the fact that the natural body has fears, and other things, and we just need to get it out every once in a while.
*looks up Lucid Dreaming*
oh thats kinda cool!
Bye Kim!!
No, I like thinking about my dreams. :P
That was what I was thinking, Miss. I think it means, metaphorically of course, that I'm fine with being the killer, but I can't stand watching people being killed when it's practically beyond my control.
The tricky thing is seeing if it relates to what's happening in my life...
OHMYGOD THAT ONCE HAPPENED TO ME!!!!!!!! (lucid dream)
It was only for a couple minutes at the end... My friend told me that I was dreaming...
And I ran around to other people screaming "OHMYGOD IM DREAMING!!!!! LET ME STAY HERE SO I CANT WAKE UP!!!"
I have lucid dreams quite often...
Very fun.
Haha. SO fun :D
I have them regularly.
Fun doesn't cut it.
Haha. Hey. No bragging... :P
Bye Kim!
I used to have similar dreams when I was younger as well, Miss. It's probably just developing brain functions.
Adra... Maybe your dream means something like, 'you live in the past' or 'you can't change anything that.... Hmmmm.
Not the lucid dream, the other one
oh! i remember one
it was 3/4 nights after i watched Jurassic Park and i was with people i knew riding on the flying dinosaurs whatever theyre called, and it was all pleasant. We were in like a foyer (like the one from the movie but white and really big) and suddenly all the other dinosaurs started screeching, and coming down the stairs and from behind the stairs were the Raptors. Out if nowhere came like a giant safty area thing (it was safe) like a giant inflatable house and we all got in and my friends foot got stuck and we had to leave her million dollar shoes behind (that was the odd part)
so we were all in and some idiot (have no idea who) went out and got killed, then we all decided to make a run for it but we all got killed by the Raptors cutting squares in the position of our stomachs. There was no blood but i could see purple stomachs and just as i was getting killed, i kept begging the Raptor who was killing me to stop (I called it Riley)
then i woke up and was hell scared
thats my creepy dream
also, the Raptors created a mountain of dead bodies, which i was the top of
Nice, Cain... Sounds fun DX
And Eve- that makes sense... *cries* ohmygod but that SUCKS. Because I can take that and identify with it, and you may be right, which is so SAD> D;
I once had a dream where there were zombies and crap... And we got killed a lot. And it was after playing Nazi Zombies.
yeah, dreams seem to be based around what we've seen/played/listen to lately
Right???
Haha.
what an odd bunch we are. Here we are, on a blog about skeletons throwing fire and saving the world, and talking about our literal dreams... Wow.
Miss Cain.... I think that maybe you imagine that people dot like you, or want to hurt you when they actually don't, and it's just you over-thinking. I think this dream is telling you to try and see the difference between reality and titr imagination.
Maybe :P
i know Adra
Eve, you could be a shrink.
*your
I ALMOST lucid dream. Like, for a split second though. Whenever I'm about to 'die', I remember that this is a dream, but I don't avoid death or anything. I run at it head first coz I know nothing will happen to me. :D
Eve, i think its cuz i was scared like hell when i watched Jurassic Park and the Riley dude im talking about is a friend
the difference between reality and imagination... thats an answer
so, basically the dream scared the crap out of me to tell me that its not real
well, it could of just said Jurassic Park isnt real and blah
i got really scared that id check behind corners for Raptors
Cain, should I laugh at that??? I did. No offense...
well, the checking behind corners one.
the dream freakin trumatised me!!!
Yeah.... I guess dreams about a movie/game/book or whatever don't really mean anything. I vaguely remember thinking of the movie 'The Ring' in my nightmare, but that was overcome by other stuff, so it doesn't count :P
its alright Adra, i told my friends at school and they stared in disbelief
if i told them now, they would understand and think
oh, its normal for her
but i dont blame them, everyday my conversations consist of violence, skeleton detectives and music
Ha... That's about all I talk about. It's good being here, because there's so many people here who are so similar!!!
All thinking alike :D
my friend had a really funny dream
its got Yoda in it
i know Adra, i like it here
we all understand what we are all saying
unlike at school, no one understands a word i say
haha. All they hear is: blah blah blah Doctor Who blah blah blah Skulduggery Pleasant blah blah blah Ireland blah blah blah accents..
exactly Adra
alrightio
im going now
i will be back later
bye!
Bye!!!
Okay, I'm going to have to follow suit... Bye, to whoever is not here...
Cain, i know you're seeing this, so.. Until soon, dear! *hugs*
And to whoever find this... I have one last wish of the day... That you look at my Skulduggery pictures, and my others... Please observe, and comment!!! (I have two more pics up)
http://followthepen.blogspot.com/
Enjoy.
That is hard work...
~Adra
Im going to bed but...Before

Weird question as its 12:12am: Derek you like roller coasters?
Going to bed

http://letmebecrafty.blogspot.co.nz/
It is my friends blog and it is really cooollll!
hehehehe
well that is all I have to say!
nanana just a boring square!
nanana just a boring square!
have to go and set the table now! YAY I love setting tables!
brb.
Wow, fantastic baby.
-BB
Hey guys, hacking the school wifi from my phone >:D Thanks for saying hi Derek, you have no.idea how much it means to me!
Hello!
Awwww... I am a lonely person :(
Hello!
HI.
Yay! Lonely no more shall I be!
God, that sentence makes no sense...
Hey Eve!
I hate that moment when you try to lean back into your bed but you bash your head into the wall instead...
Oh no! Derek, I'm not turning into Nathan, am I? I don't wanna be a zombie!!!
(Now, I wonder how many of you will get the reference...)
And ooooh, I made a rhyme!!!
You know, 'bed', 'instead'... Yeah. I know, I know, I'm lame.
*does a dance* Making rhymes all the time for your nickles and dimes.
Hi Val and Calamity!
Ugh. I've just been through torture. I had to pick out an outfit for my cousin's 21st. I HATE picking out clothes. And now my mum is telling everyone about it. -_-
Oh, and there she goes again. I wonder how many times she can call me 'fat' in a day.
I don't get the reference. Who's Nathan?
Ugh, I hate when parents do that! It's like when you say something once and then they change the story of the time you said it every single time they tell someone. If that makes sense.
He's the main character from one of Derek's movies - Boy Eats Girl.
Oh Eve. I feel for you. That's ridiculous. Why is your mum calling you fat?
I know! Mum made this stupid joke about me and she tells EVERYONE who she thinks hasn't heard it. And when I do something or say something, mum tells her sister but COMPLETELY changes the story! I dont say anything like that about mum. Maybe I should start getting even.
Wow~
Fantastic baby.
There have been so many times I've wanted to get even... But the irritating truth is, she can punish you for it.
Hey Luce.
Hi. I have to go, now. Bye.
Oh, okay.
@Calamity. I don't know. Maybe because I'm her daughter, so she thinks she can say anything about me. She's always saying stuff. "oh, I had to get Eve a bigger size coz she's too fat"; "oh, she can't wear a short dress coz she's so hairy"; "Really? Well I know I'm not going to like THIS year's play"; "Eve, I didn't say you're ugly, I just said your hair looks horrible"
Hi and bye Lucy!
...Eve, your mum sounds like she needs someone to tell her to be a little nicer.
Yeah. We should be able to punish our parents too.
I might not be here, tonight.
My brother is kicking off again and I get the blame...I might not be here all week...I really don't know. I just give in...
Chin up, Eve. I bet you're gorgeous<3
We need to create a holiday where kids are in charge. On that day I would:
1. Go to Ireland
2. Paint my room blue
3. Dye my hair black and get indigo contacts
I guess I shouldn't be complaining so much. I mean, she's said plenty about other people, but she doesnt MEAN to be like that. She thinks that she can say all that about her family coz we're family. I think I'm just mad about it because she doesn't say ANYTHING about my little brother. Always going on about how beautiful he is, how smart he is...
Thanks Luce. At times I've been able to convince myself that I am
Of course you are, Eve.
Sometimes I wish that parents could see when they hurt us as well as when we hurt them.
Eve, I'm sure you're absolutely stunning, so just be sure to always remember that whenever someone says something otherwise.
I would:
GO GOTHIC
Apparently, I already went gothic, so there's no point in trying to do that...
But whenever I try to tell my mum when she's said something hurtful, she just thinks it's me being too sensitive and makes me feel stupid rather than properly trying to make it better
Well, then that's when it's time to start shouting at her.
Hello, Mr Derek Landy!!! Oh how I am so excited to see you in Australia!!!This is the first time i'll be going to your book signing, so i'm so so so ecstatic!!!
It just never works; yelling I mean.
Just endure it, that's what I do. And although sometimes it's horrible, it works.
Haha. Nah, I'd probably get my ears pierced double xD
I''d possibly set fire to something too
To the rain, maybe? XD
When I just endure it, she doesn't get the message. When I want her to actually apologise, she just makes reason of what she did and ends it with something like 'if you think it hurt you, I'm sorry for that'
Lol Val xD
Then start crying when she does it. I know you might not want to, but sometimes crying is the only way for people to tell that you're being serious.
One time I did cry. She told me to stop it.
Well, that's just rude.
Here's another idea: just lock yourself in your room and stop talking to her unless you have to. Give short answers. And then when she asks why and you get fed up, start shouting and crying. That might work.
Yeah, Val's last one does make sense.
Or just correct her. Like if she says you're fat, say "No, humans just tend to grow. Do you need the definition of the word?"
Sometimes I wish I could just run away...just for a day.
Then next time she does something like that you should. If your room is on the ground floor, then you should lock the door and climb out the window, and just hide for a while.
I'd like to continue this conversation, but I have to go to bed now... :(
Bye guys!
I can't correct coz, like, she doesn't say it as though it's an insult. She's not TRYING to stab at my self-esteem or anything. Sometimes I just hear her say it to other people. Sometimes she just IMPLIES it. She's constantly asking me if I'm going on a diet. Like that's the first thing that comes to her mind when I'm not eating. Maybe I'm not hungry! Maybe ive had a bad day! Why the HELL, may I ask you, would I be on a diet? Because I'm fat, that's why. But see, I don't see myself as fat. She thinks I do.
Bye Val!
Bye Val!
I am back!
