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...

Yes in the older version, they were both completely different people Adra
Haha Zaf.... Nice.
Em, be nice :D It's great.
Hi, guys!
Yo Gep!!! WAZAP!
oh.... Okay. Makes sense!
Hoya!!
Adra: Ikr. Jev like Nye's twin.....
Hey Adra!
GEP!
*tackles him in joyfulneess*
*is tackled*
Haha LOL. Jev and Nye...
Did you think of Bill Nye when you saw the name???
Bill Nye the Science guy scares the crap outta me... I heard of him AFTER I read Mortal Coil, you see, so when I see him all I think is "AH! HE WANTS TO DISSECT ME!" and therefore Science class is terrifying.
Yes I did! After I read Mortal Coil I couldnt watch Bill Nye movies now without laughing
Baha sooo true. You know, Nye has infinite knowledge of the universe, encourages scientific exploration, still relevant and entertaining even after many years of TV, great head of hair, and a bowtie...
Conclusion- Bill Nye is a timelord.
Oh my God he's a Timelord!
RIGHT?????
0.0
*cries*
the timelord of earth is a psychopath killer who dissects people.
Nooooooooooo! And he lives in Seattle!
BAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
*wipes tears*
that's killarious :D
Oh, and, uh, MORE PEOPLE NEED TO GET ON ITS SO FREAKING QUIET
*is distant*
*kicks val and runs away to write*
What;s the fan event?
*cries*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Fan event?
The fan event signing..
I'm going!!
Fan event signing. Right.
So, uh, what country do you live in???
Ireland.
I wanna live in Ireland... *sobs in despair because I don't*
I hate being American.
Awesome :)
Wish I lived there... *sulks*
*sulks again* I'm about 5,000 miles away from Fan event...
*sigh*
Obama sucks
You'd better delete that comment or the government might hunt you down... *sighs*
Hey. Freedom of speech. If anyone says otherwise, they're getting sued by me. :D
I agree with that.
YUSSSS!!!! HAHA. Take that, gov't.
MUAJAJAJA-I'm moving to England.
I'm going to move to Ireland someday...
I have just lost the rest of my writing time for the night!
I'm so upset :(
That is depressing
What???? What happened, Em???
Oh yeah, so am I, Val. I'll get a rain house, because its more rainy than sunny there. :)
The weather is the same here as it is in Ireland
*laughs* I miss Ireland. It was cold and rainy... It was amazing :D
I'm going to Ireland next year... I'm gonna meet Derek. Derek even said so.
My son is wide awake and shouting which is giving me a headache.
And I can't just relax and do my writing now until he goes back asleep.
Whatever time that will happen at.
I was set to keep going on my story and now my whole night is just stressful again.
Have you ever sung to him, Em???
And Val- I wanted to meet him so bad... My mom says we're going back next year, and I'll try to convince her to go so we can get it near the book signings time :D
Ciaran doesn't do singing.
I'm not going near book signing time... I'm going in either April or June. So I actually get to arrange a time and place to meet him... It's gonna be so fun :D
Number one- oh. well. Uh... okay. I heard that if you just let them go on, they'll be fine.. but after like 15 minutes or so, there's something wrong..
Number two- Ciaran is an awesome name!!! I like it!!!
no. FAIR.
WITH HIM???
ALONE????
NOT JUST 5 MINUTES???
Um... Not alone, I'll probably have my mumzy around, too... Possibly Amanda... But that's what I'm hoping for, yeah.
Well, you know what I mean...
But GEEZ.
*lip trembles*
I really want to meet him so much... He's so amazing! And it'd probably take me YEARS to work up to your standards.
*sighs*
I may as well start now.
*confused face*
My standards...?
Yeah! Your standards: meaning, Derek Landy knows who you are, and you get to meet him without a long line :D
Read? It works on my nephew
G2g.
BYE
Swim team bbl
Bye!!!!!
Bye
And Adra, I'm pretty sure the only reason he knows who I am is because of that party for him...
Ahhh right :D
Stillllllllll :)
*starts singing Kylie*
*doesn't know what Kylie is*
And that was a fun party... Very fun... It got Derek to send me signed books. And a SP watch. And a poster. And a postcard. And a letter, but that wasn't because of the party, he was just sending a reply to my letter...
Speaking of which, Derek, have you sent Kingdom of the Wicked yet? *puppy face telling him to say yes or go send them now*
Kylie Minogue. uh, 90' music. Right. Down to business...
WHERE DO YOU SEND THE LETTERS???

Ohmygod.
Val.
I love you so much right now *hugs*
thanks! Now I don't have to go look... ;D
Wait, Val... Did you send him your books to get him to sign them, or did he give you an new entire set already?
Aw, thanks :)
brb. Dinner
New set!
AND OHMYGODICANEMAILHARPERCOLLINS
Okee dokes Adra
Back!!!!
and you can??? BOSS!!!
http://takeallthechances.blogspot.ie/
Oh!! Where did that link come from??
Hmm??
Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone would read it.
If it's not your cup of tea, that is fine by me but just thought I would try :)
Night girls x
BYE EM!!!
Sorry, my internet failed
Val- HOW DID YOU CONVINCE HIM
I didn't convince him to do anything. He did it by choice. In fact, I didn't even ask.
Wow... Nice :D
What'd you do when you go it?????
Well, I knew I was getting it, because Derek ran a contest where you could win a copy of all the signed books and a poster from him. I didn't win, though... He chose me and Kal as bonus winners - I was picked because I had that party. So about 3 months after he sent it I got it, and I'm fairly certain I screamed... I remember freaking out about it. Also, the package was addressed to Ivy Animosity :D
haha that's so cool!!! :D
ohmygod.. i'm going to send him something. with one of my books... :D so he can sign it
Hmmm... I don't know if I would do that, because it took FOREVER for him to reply to mine (although, he apologized for it in the letter, so...) and it takes forever to get to him. Also, I think his publishers like to put off sending things.
Hmmm... True.. But it'd be worth it. :D
http://bringingskulduggerytothemasses.blogspot.com/2012/05/random-pictures-from-insane-person.html
This is a picture of the backside of the poster he sent...
And THIS, is my precious collection from him:

*squirms out of her grip*
Can you see how happy I am? Not even a flinch of anger!
Daaaaaaaammmnnn... That must be pretty happy.
Whatcha so happy about?
SPARKY!! *hugs* HEYYY
And Val.. Oh.. .my.. GOD!!!
Hehehe... Adra, I'm thinking that you looked at the links. Am I right?
YES
YES
YES
OHMYGOD
*does for the fourth time today. Gets kicked out of Heaven, wakes back up*
x3
Yeah... I love those books so much... *would hug them if they were next to me, but they aren't*
*smiles at Val knowingly*
That, you don't get to find out.
Did you see the blanket in the background?
*scowls at Sparky*
Darn. Well, I'm happy that you're happy :D
woo
Well, I've gotta go watch Clash of the Titans now, byyyyyyyyeeee!!!
As you should be!
*sighs contentedly*
Haaatatatattatatataaaa...
*laughs*
I stayed up until 4 am last night and I woke up at seven.
I'm tiiiiired.
Bye Val!
Bye!!!
I'd like to ded this page to Derek Landy, in hopes that he will write a letter back to me.. When I send it. And sign a book for me :D
and my cat, Nigel.
*raises glass* hear hear
Okay, all... I must go now.
*hugs*
BYE!!!
Bye Dark!
Lol Dark if you get this I still waiting. I actually wonder if he even got mine...
You guys talk so much! I can barely keep up with all the comments! Well, mostly cause I can't read them every day so they pile up on me... Ahem. Anyway, again one comment for now.
I just found out yesterday that I can go back on computer(and internet)! Maybe I'll try to later, if I'm not too busy... I really want to read all the blog posts I missed! There are WAY too many for my iPod. Got to go now. Bye!
Hello and bye Lav!
Hi Sparky!!!!
Im actually reading The Faceless Ones xD I usually never remember that i want to.
Well, good on you for remembering!
Hey i try. Im nearly finished. Finally. I looove Dark Days the best. I dont know why.
DDFTW!!!!!!!!!!
Dark Days For The Win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its the best one!! I read it over and over. :D
I don't want to kill my copy, cause it's signed, but I do read it often.
Mine isnt sogned. I read it a lot but it survived. Hell it survived Nikki and Celine my best friends and fellow Elders
Pages are coming out of my copies of Sceptre and Playing With Fire...
I can't be too careful.
Hi Dark!
Hi Dark
Im super careful with mine. Especially Mortal Coil. I got a torn page that needs surgery. Though Ali's Sceptre is worse. I had to physically tape the book together. Her cover is completely off.
*shudders*
Awww! My Dark Days is in five pieces with gatorade all over it (courtesy of my brother)
and my first PWF is... Dead.
*hides my SP books from Dark*
You stay away from my babies.
HEY!!! WOAH!!! My brother screwed my Dark Days, and, well, I read PWF so many times, it fell apart...
*sulks*
*hides mine as well*
i thought Ali's were bad....
*stern faced*
Away.
WHAT THE HELL??? *sulks even farther*
but... it wasn't meeee
Mine are alive! I like mine alive! They need to be so I can eventually get them signed
All of my friends are getting KOTW on Kindle.
They say they'll get it faster.
I say they can't get it signed.
So are mine1 I went all the way to Dublin to get book 4! IT'S AUTHENTIC!!!
HAHAHA nice one :D
Uh, can you sign my Kindle? *draws across screen*
Uh, thanks...
I never been to Europe! :(
My cousin in Germany. Still i can only hope he gets KOTW fir me. And signed.
It sucks being an Ameriminion
MUAJAAJAJAJAJAAA!! I've been.... Twice. ;P
I can pack you next time, Zaf. We went through Newark. We can meet you there :P
*twirls and laughs*
So, how is everyone?
I finished gathering and drawing everything for Derek... And finished printing...
And got ready to send him some misc. objects
I was too petrified to let Celine send him anything. Nikki was bad. Her insanity kicked in. She asked Derek out of the 3 of us who had better handwriting since we handwrote it. I say mine wins.
Uh... I kept myself retained. :D
I'm going to the post tomorrow :D wooooo
and then i have horseback
riding. again.
Lol!
No Celine scared me. Hopefully they didnt petrify Derek if he got to read it. I thought my wuestions were fairly normal..Nikki was semi ok. Celine....oh nvm. I think we was high.
BAHAHAHAHA!!! That'd be me :D
We had to! It was a half day. 7th period. Snack and stuff. We wrote the letter i sent it that Friday.
Niiiiiiiiiiceeeeee. I'm sending him my Death Bringer. I better get it back, signed.
Or else, I'm going to be pissed.
Even if it isn't signed I better get it back.
Oh. Okay. I have to go again.. I'll be on tomorrow :D maybe....
haha. How the Universe Works is on, and I love it...
BYE!!!
*hugs for all*
Bye!!!
Hope you do get it back...the cats might eat it...
Derek!!!!
*pushes Derek in lake*
haahaahaa!!!!
how do you people comment so damn fast ,os fans
We just epic xD
Going to bed
RELEASE THE CRACKEN!!!
Sorry, Clash of the Titans moment
And I never ruin ANY of my books... But my jerk-face brother took my first copy of Scepter of the Ancients right after I bought it and said, "Oh, well, don't so this, because it'll ruin the book" and then bent the spine back... I was SO pissed off
Going again now to watch 'The Signs', byyyyyyyyyeeee!
It's spelled 'KRAKEN', Valkyrie!
*has just finished sweeping 5 flights of stairs... twice*
Okay, not really twice. Kinda though. I have to sweep the stairs every day and to do it, I have to sweep it with a regular broom first(they're tiled stairs), then I have to go over it with a mop-like duster. I get so tired after that, but I'm not complaining. It's actually kinda fun. I'm weird like that... Liking the chores I do.
Anyway, I'm back. Oh, there's something else I wanted to say.
*WARNING: Long comment ahead*
So the stationary in Korea is really interesting. They have either sayings or song lyrics or random things on their pens and notebooks, but some of the things are nice in an inspirational way. I got a notebook just cause what it said on it, because I wanted to share it and I thought you guys might like it. Yeah, on to the... the thing.
"When you look up into the blue sky
You will a great big smile through the
clouds. Smiles are what fills us with delight
And bring us back to our good old days. Only
you can make this world seem right. Only you
can make the darkness bright."
I really like that one. And the next one I though was inspirational-ish. It's on my story outline notebook.
"Search for large and complex challenges.
Welcome difficult assignments.
Progress lies in accomplishing difficult work.
Once your(typo on notebook :P) begin a task, complete it. Never give up."
Sorry if it's really long. I just wanted to share those. :)
Hi Lav!
Oops. On the first quote thing, I forgot to put 'find' between 'will' and 'a'.
You will FIND a great big smile. Yeah. :P
Hi Eve!
Oh yeah, in Korea they pronounce Eve: Eh- hwah cause they don't have v's. Just thought it'd be interesting to know. :P
And in Japan they pronounce it Eh-bah. Japanese also don't have V's in their alphabet.
Coooooool xD
I think my name originated from the Hebrew name "Chawwah" or something. No Vs there either. :P
That's funny. :)
So how are you today?
Oh and when does Nix come back? I forgot. Or did he already? I hadn't the time to read the past comments to find out. There's too many!
hello all!
I'm pretty goose, Nix comes back Thursday I think. Friday at the latest.
*appears, sees Lav and sprint into her, providing her with one of my bigger hugs*
LAAAV!!!
How are you???
Hi Miss!
*gets no hug*
-_-
Hi Sparky!
Hi Eve, Miss.
Hi Miss!
Aww, that's still a few days away. :(
Good Eve. :P
*hugs Eve*
*laughs as Sparky hugs me*
I'm good. :) Have an hour till I have to do the rest of my chores, so I'm staying here till then.
its so grey in Perth right now
i thikn it might rain
*think
my fingers are tired
Yay!
I'm still in a great mood...
NOTHING CAN DESTROY MY HAPPY.
Why are you so happy, Sparky? What put you in such a good mood?
It's cloudy here too, Miss. But more hot than it would be when it's sunny. I think the weather is weird sometimes.
the weather is funny sometimes
*shrugs*
I have my reasons.
hmm
thinking of taken names is actually quite hard
Awwwwwwww *hugs Miss*
See? I appreciate hugs. *swishes feather boa*
Not really Miss.
If you stop trying to make it cool and exciting, it becomes mega easy.
Hayley Skirmish.
How simple is that?
Or, you could use words from other languages that describe characteristics about the person.
Stuff like that.
yeah, i got the last part of the name but i cant think of the first part
Well, that's all the advice I have...
Sorry.
