I have a few random pictures cluttering up my desktop, so I shall intersperse them as I go...
I'm catching my plane tomorrow. An hour to London, then 13 hours to Singapore, then 7.5 hours to Sydney, then 3 hours to Auckland... I'll arrive in New Zealand a little before midday on Tuesday, mildly confused about whether or not I'm sleepy after spending a day in the air zipping across time zones.
Oh boy oh boy.
I'm not packed, either. I know what I'm bringing- roughly- but I'll leave the packing until tomorrow. I'm bringing A Dance of Dragons to read, and I've already looked up what movies will be playing on the plane. Movies that I haven't seen but want to include Battleship, Dark Shadows, Lockout, Get the Gringo, The Five-Year Engagement, and The Woman in Black, and I'll also get a chance to watch The Avengers again. That's roughly 16 hours of movies... I think I should be okay...
Today, I am cleaning the house. Laura will be staying here when I'm gone so I need to have everything nice and tidy, or else she'll throw a mug at me.
I fully intend to blog while I'm on tour. I know my publishers would like me to keep a Tour Blog, detailing how the events went and who I met and what the various cities were like- basically documenting the entire experience. Annnnnnnnd that's not gonna happen. When I get back to my hotel- usually at around 9 o'clock at night- I'm pretty much exhausted. But I'll do my best to keep my Minions appraised of developments.
I'll be gone for 17 days, during which time I'll be staying at 9 hotels and visiting 12 airports.
The temperature in New Zealand is ranging from 1 degree (celsius) at night to 14 during the day. This, my Minions, is a temperature I can deal with.
The temperature in Australia is ranging from 7 to 23. 23 is a tad high. Please Australia, cool down a bit before I get there. Just a few degrees. Say, five. Thank you.
I've got my Sky box ready to record my shows when I'm away. Right now I'm recording Criminal Minds, Newsroom, The Mentalist, and Supernatural. I was delighted beyond measure to realise that I'll be able to watch the Ronda Rousey fight live in my hotel room on my only day off- Sunday the 19th. Thanks to the time difference, I'll just be sitting down to room service lunch when she fights...
And that's it. That's all. I have a house to clean and time is running out. I also need to write up instructions for Laura on how to use the TV (it's more complicated than it sounds) when I'm gone. All you Minions-with-funny-accents, prepare yourselves. I am coming.

No, not part angel horse. Just part angel
Is anybody online?
Hi Maya!

Eh
I am internet-stalking Orangey. The cat who played Cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's
Ah...

BYE MAYA, Hi! Nix, whats happining??
Bye Maya!
Not much
Gah, my hand is shaking like a leaf, I wonder why...
Hi people!
You're part angel, Nix? Are you a Shadowhunter?
Oh, and brb, breakfast.
Um, well, oh here is a convo starter, are you watching the Olympics? It is quite cool how many connections I have to them:
My poppa went to the olyimpics twice and he was the best Hockey goalie in the world, my dads cousin was as silver fern player, then captain, then coach.( Okay, that's not Olympics)The black sticks coach's daughter is in one of my sisters class at school, my dad used to play hockey with some famous hockey family, my dads cousin (the silver fern) cousin is in the black sticks. Cool, eh?
Hi Star!
I'm both
I like cats
Wow... Thats alot of connections
Anyone here watched Breakfast at Tiffanys?
Hi star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No sorry Maya, I have heard of it though. MY HAND IS SHAKING SO MUCH, WHYYYYYYYYYYYY
I am quite scared now, my arm is shaking to, AHHHHH
Distant, because I am on icanhazacheeseburger
Ummm Selena... you alright?
Now the phone is ringing... Hey, where did everyone go? They where here, then poof, i alone
Kind of distant as well because I am (as usual) doing homework
Seriously. Patience
Yes I am, oh you mean cause of the hand shaking thing, yeah I don't know why my hand is doing that, I am sure that I will be fine, I am not insane, do not worry.
Are you an Ameriminion Nixion?
Back! *comes in humming Payphone*
No, Nix is from Aus.
And I am from England. :)
Best Queen Songs
1. Bohemenion Rhapsody (ignore WORST SPELLING EVER)
2. I want to break free
3. DOn't stop me now
And all of our bridges burnt down,
I wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time
When we called it love but
Deep in the sunset
In paradise . . .
Sorry, I'm back, but choosing subjects for Year 8.... This is much of a muchness...
Sam Tsui (= awesome)does a mash-up thing of payphone and telephone
I'm at a paaaaayphone
Tryin' to caaaaall home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the tiiiiiiiiimes gone
Baby it's aaaaaaall wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
STAR! You got it wrong. It's 'even the sun sets in paradise'. You shall suffer the consequences...layer :P
You think that's bad Eve? I'm choosing for year 10. I have to choose ever subject expect for 5
Hi Eve!
CHOOSING SUBJECTS???? We don't get to pick subjects until at the end of year nine!
*expression clears* Ah, That makes sense. Stupid lyrica websites. They always get SOMETHING wrong, whatever song you look up. I was trying, at one point, to work out which ones could be trusted for their correctness and which ones couldn't, be non of them can be trusted, so . . .
And no, I CANNOT just learn the words from listening to the song. My brain doesn't work that way. Most of them just sound all mushed unless I've looked the lyrics up and can remember them.
Hola Eve!
Sorry, I was on Icanhasacheezebuger
Sooo Nixion and Eve are you both in Austraila. It is so weird thinking that you guys are so close to Nz.
Yes, Nix and Eve are both in Aus. Eve's from Adelaide and Nix's from Melbourne.

Okay, back for now, but then I have to go again, then I'll be back
It's so weird, getting ready for high school....I'm too comfortable in primary school. Familiar teachers, familiar kids, familiar surroundings, familiar lessons.... Now it's all going to change. :(
Hey, I was thinking, maybe we should make a kind of "class photo thing" for the Bloglandian Minions of 2012. Like if everyone just drew a pic of themselves then just edit all the pictures together on to one page. sounds weird now that I type it all out
Ha! Tibi wants me to delete the picture I showed her of Slender Man and I don't know how to. She got nightmares, she said. I did too...then I came to stalk you guys at 5:30am to make me feel better. :P
I can't draw things on computer
Not a bad idea, Mary Jane! But I can't draw.
Why does EVERYONE ignore me?!
Actually, that's an AWESOME idea. Buuuuuut I still can't draw.
Because you don't add 'Hi'!
I'm not ignoring you
I am researching Hogmanay in another tab
So you'll welcome back Maya, but not me?
Sorry Nixion I was distracted with homework
Ello-hay Nixion Strange!
Silence fell when the question was asked
There was no question
Looking up random photos and here's a good one.
P.s I'm not going to stay because the random amount of homework my teachers set me

Gotta go again

Guess Not... So Byeeeee!
*frowns* Nix, I didn't welcome back Maya. Or anyone, for that matter.
Why didn't you?
You didn't say BACK, Nix.
And anyways, I distonated. My sister was asking my questions like "why is the sky purple?"
*me
I did say back in my sentence
Oh Nix, I think it's your turn for the Pleasant Dae story.
Lol, I've only realized that now.
Morning all!
I know it is, but I have too much on my plate
Hi Em!
Oh alright,
I haven't really been paying it much notice either lol
I'm writing Deacon and Drew's big fight in my next chapter. I hope I can get it just right.
Stress!! lol
I've never written a proper big fight scene in anything before.
Oh, I so want to write right now...
Lol you can write my fight scene for me
But then... Yeah I know that's cheating
*sulks away*
*looks at Essay and bites lip*
I could... take a break, couldn't I?
Of course ya can!
Essay writing can't happen unless you allow breaks for your brain to get creative.
Yeah, and a creative writing break is what I need
Then go for it Nix.
You deserve it.
I do
I'm overworked
I'm glad I could help lol

hmm
i have a lot of things to do but i just do the things that i WANT to do which is nothing that im meant to be doing
Try playing Slender
Slender took AGES to load for me
It may have, I don't even remember...
I dedicate to trust. It can sometimes take years to build up a true trust, but mere seconds to destroy it.
Though my trust has been obliterate more times than I can count, I still find that I can trust some of you here and the fact that I can do this shows that the world isn’t all bad. Love is trust. Trusting someone with your heart. Trusting someone with your very being. Trusting that they won’t break you and allowing them to know the real you. That is love. That is what real trust is.
Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it when it’s broken, but you can still see the cracks in the reflection. Trust is a gift. It’s essential in life, just as love is. Without trust, you’d get nowhere. Despite my trust issues, I manage to find that trusting the right people can change you as a person. I trust three people, right now…Kallista, Hellboy and Ellie. I know it may sound peculiar, but when one person betrays my trust it makes me feel like everyone will.
That’s the problem with trust. It’s all a game. A game of luck. If you’re lucky enough to find someone that will stop playing the game you know you’ve found someone you can always trust. I find that the best way to trust is to be yourself…
And so, I also dedicate to you. The person reading this. Not the façade that you may wear. Not this person you pretend to be. You. Because you are the best person you can be. I don’t like that people pretend to be someone they’re not. That’s why I hate myself. Because this person you all seem to see isn’t always me. I’m not always this person. Sometimes it’s me. But sometimes it’s not. Sometimes I am the person you want me to be. And I have decided it’s the end of that.
I am going to be me, from here on out. No taking crap from anyone else. No listening to these insults, because I am perfect just the way I am. Love me or hate me, I don’t mind. But, I do mind if you’re going to hate on yourself.
Ask yourself this question, why do I think so little of myself, sometimes? you might get closer to the problem. You might actually find the answer. Then you can learn not to hate yourself. Because all of these hateful words you tell yourself you are…They aren’t your words. They’re some jealous idiot that enjoys making people feel bad because of their own insecurities.
Don’t let people dictate your life. Trust in yourself. Find yourself. Derek’s so right and he has been since the beginning.
“The only goal worth seeking is finding out who you truly are.”
Don't let anyone change you. You've got to love yourself. <3
You don' trust me? Why not? It's not like I was plotting to destroy you all, and I'm definatly not close to actually doing it or anything. Nah, pfffffft, I'm fine, I'm a good guy
*thumbs up*
Sorry..
. . . I think that might have been your best ded yet. It links into what I was talking about yesterday.
Yeah. Be yourself. I'll try to be myself. I find it easier here. Easier than at school. At school I'm rarely myself. About everyone but my friends think I'm real quiet and barely ever speak. :) I lizten, though. I listen to all their conversations. I just don't join in much. I'm like that sometimes. But I love here. Here just feels so safe. And I don't really know how to put what I want to say into words. But thanks for that ded, coz you put some of it into words for me.
Jeez, nobody can't take any jokes no more
... That sentence made no sense, but I think it's meaning was as clear as mud
Of course it was, Nix. And what could be clearer than mud?
great ded L!!
wbd
It's my second least favourite dedication.
Sorry, Nix. I'm just not in a joking mood, right now..
... Sand?
*scowls* I was playing badminton in my garden without shoes on and now my feet are all dirty.
Hey Gab!
Anyone heard of Aus Zealand?
My friends are pissed.
alright
ive got to go now
i should be back, if not, oh well
bye!!
Hey guys.
Bye Miss!
I've never ever heard of Aus Zealand
What does it mean?
Huh. Getting sand all over your feet is worse than getting mud all over your feet. Mud washes off easily and sand is irritating.
. . . But it is remarkably clear, yes. *peers in grain of sand* Wow! The future is sand clear in it! Who needs crystal balls???
My grain of sand says that I will eat a banana in less than a second. :)
*starts nomming banana*
*mumbles through mouthful of banana* Shee? My pwedishtion wash wight!
Hi Gab!
Fours Cain!
Nozo, Gab, but then, I'm Engalish.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/olympics/7425117/Aus-Zealand-currently-tenth-on-medal-tally
It's about something. Australia claiming NZ or something?
Bye, Cain.
Hello, Gab.
Star...How can you ever say I am funny? Especially with some of the things you say.
Claiming?
Okay, I've got a solution to this problem... burn it
We are not one country. I will burn whoever said we are
I have to go.
Bye.
Blame the Telegraph.
Well, I want to hunt the guy and then kill him.
Some people actually believes this Aus Zealand crap.
Bye Luciana!
Burn it
I will burn the Telegraph
Fours L!
*is hyperlinking it so I can follow the link on my phone*
Because you are funny?
*can't get there so is trying again*
*scowls* It keeps Page Not Founding me.
Not working Star
And, gtg, bb in 30 ins or so.
I liked the first part of that dedication. The second part meant absolutely nothing to me because I am me, and I have always been me. You've never seen a lie. I'm me, and you all can always trust me to be me :)
Oh my god you are so right, Nix! NO ONE is taking jokes anymore! No one!
We come from the land-where-no-one-takes-a-joke!
I bet it's the freezing cold they live in. Putting them in a no-jokes mood. *shakes head sadly*
It's summer though
And how hot is it in their summers?? I bet it's, like, 22 degrees C
Yeah, but for them that's tropical
Haha xD
CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT? WE GOT IT 40 DEGREES HERE DOWN UNDER!!!!
*looks up at sun* BRING IIIIIIT!
Give me your best shot
If it weren't for us, yer wouldn't have yer Crash Bandicoot or yer Finding Nemo or yer Grease or nothin'
Sorry for not being able to joke...*frowns* I don't mean to be like this..
Hi Luce!
Talking to absolutely no one about nothing. What I do best
B. R. BEEEEEE!
That reminds me of the bee that flew out of the desk next to me. Ma buddies squashed it before I even knew there was something wrong, the little ninjas.
Hello.
I need to finish Mockingjay.
I just can't bring myself to accept Finnick is going to die...And I cried because Cinna's 'I'm still betting on you' thing.
Two bees once flew into both my ears, and made me deaf for the rest of my life
Then I woke up
Mockingjay...
Have you read it before?
Hi Lucy Anna!
Wawwza sain? Uhyeah, Be right back
(that's how me talks a lot)
Nope.
I've not read Mockingjay before. ):
I just know what happens.
I think Catching Fire will end up being my favourite, though. Because Finnick and Haymitch and oh my god Everlark. <3
I'd actually say berrabahk
I had a dream a bee stung my toe.
Hello, Eve!
Who's Everlark?
