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.

Funniest line in Mockingjay, trust me
Everlark= Katniss and Peeta.
The whole Annie thing. It's beautiful. <3
I'm back!
Anyone want a present? I'm famous for them, apparently...
I like the bit where Gale basically defends Peeta in Peeta's third interview. When Katniss runs away and then knocks all the pencils on the floor. c:
Actually no I'm not back. I need to go eat lunch. Back soon :) DONT GO ANYWHERE!
Hello, Phoebe! :)
Bye Phoebe
Bye again, Phoebe.
I also like Effie.
May the odds ever be in your favour.
Be back later
Bye!
Bye, Nix!
I think I'm a couple of minutes late.
*hugs* Hiya Luc. Hiya all!
Back!
I saw this Keep Calm and Carry On thing once that said: Keep Calm, It's Only Mahogany. *laughs*
hellow, all.
Hahah, Star :P
Heya Cat!
Hi Cat!
Hb! *tacklehugs* I've cheered up a LOT. I read through some of those messages from earlier. C:
Hey, Star!
I'm on my phone. Expect errors. Wbd.
Hey, Cat. *waves*
I want popcorn..
You seem cheerful.
Luc, this dedication is my favourite so far. I really do love it.
"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."
Absolutely brilliant.
I'm glad you're happier :)
...gaahhh this deeeeed...
Back.
Hehehe. It needed doing. *shrugs*
Kronk's New Groove is on. *grins*
Luc, do you have a blog of these dedications? Do you have them written down?
'cos if you don't, I'll start one. These are inspirational. That sounds a tad weird, but I mean it.
Who wants a present? TAKE THE PRESENT! Heh heh heh.
NOW.
Hello, Phoebe! *hugs*
I broke my laptop even more! D:
Someday soon there wont even be any computer left to break, Luce
Patrick Warburton! THAT'S who plays Kronk. I had forgotten...
I have /some/ dedications...one or two. I only save the ones that I am proud of. Which is one.
i dont know who that is.
Here! HAve this present!
* Lucinda opens present * "Gee, thatnks Phoebe, a new laptop!"
BOOM!
"I should've known."
Oops. Sorry. He he he
Lucinda? How did I get that? Sorry typo. I meant Luciana
I am going to go see if I can find the kitchen. i cant see so great, you know, like when your entire body hurts, and your head throbs, your vision goes blurry?
Well, I think this ded and your last ones should be added to your collection :P They are ones to be proud of.
Hi Phoebe, hi Hellboy, hi Starly!!! :D
Uh... Sure.
Kronk is the voice for Soarin' in Epcot. And both him that plays Kronk and him that plays Kuzco are in the same program - Rules Of Engagement. It's hilarious.
Hi Cat!
Yes, Hellboy. There needs to be an L's Deds Blog.
Cat! I get that too! Often when I've been sitting down and I stand up suddenly.
Hi eve! Do you like bricks? I like bricks.
Do you want a present?
I save all of my dedications I
like. None of them.
But I really like alot of
the other ones.
And BYE NIX!! Did you see that? You better have seen it
I like bricks! I live in a prism of bricks!
Is the present a brick?
How many people here have nominated themselfs grand mage of a certain country? Just out of curiosity...
Cat, when
You talk, it looks
Like you're
Doing haiku
Or something. :P
Umm... no. Its a... coconut! Here! Have this coconut!
* takes coconut *
BOOM!!!
You should really learn very quickly that all of my presents either suck or explode :)
Msd. My hair refuses to dry. >.<
I'm no Grand Mage. I'm the nomad who doesn't work for any Sanctuary, along with Mahogany.
Have you ever woken up at two A.M. with your hands at your throat and
where your heart is, and not be able to move, Hellboy?
LOL, Derek, nice.
Yes..., this is a slow-to-come commment, isn't it? Well, it's technically *your* fault, you know. Mm-hm, yours. When one doesn't post for so dreafully long, one doesn't tend to check as frequently. So it's your fault. Post more often!
~Manical laughter~
Aaaaanyway...,
Wow... about a whole day in planes. O o
That would be... that would be... I don't know what that would be. Most likely it would be rather tiresome.
HAVE FUN!
You should take pictures. Or, better yet, get some of your trusty helpers to take some pics of you and some fans so we can all be desperately jealous, here in the USA.
I guess since so far I havent seen another NZer on here at all, i'm everything :D Including grand mage, and an elder, and a detective, and.. oh damn it. I'm also a cleaver.
Cat, I do frequently.
As to blurry vision, I get that a lot, too. I go dizzy all the time. Haha. :')
Is ther anyone here who ISNT american at the moment?
Skyyyyyyrrrrrrrilllllll! Hi!
Nah, Phoebe, there are plenty of Kiwis here. May e not as much as other countries, but there are a handful I know of. :) You don't have to be Phoebe the Everything :P
Jesus, no, Cat.
Hi Skyril!
I'm South Australian :)
Phew! So i'm not a clever? Whoppeeeee! Who wants a celebrational present? Anybody?
I'm not American. Eve and L aren't either.
You too Luc? Whyyyy :(
Hiya Skyril *hugs*
So many people O_o
Hey, Skyril!
And in answer to that earlier, Hellboy, yes I do know Skyril. :P
Oh hi Aussie person. Your an Aussie. Hi.
Helloby...
It's not quite as bad as it seems
I mean
I can move now
it just every
time i try to move
my shoulders
or my back, or
my neck
it just explodes
into pain
fun, right?
I dont believe we've been introduced, Skyril. I am Phoebe-the-NOT-Cleaver.
And I love bricks :)
Do you want a present?
You know I hardly eat. Because I hardly eat, I lack sugar in my diet. *shrugs* I think, anyway...
Poor, poor you Cat.
Well, I know how to solve this:
You will need:
A spoon.
A BIG bag of sugar.
Method:
Hold your spoon, and put it in the bag of suger. Spoon sugar into mouth. Keep spooning sugar into mouth until you run out of sugar. Buy another bag.
I do it all the time :D and I'm Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine * twitch twitch *
Why do you
write in poetry,
Cat?
Hello Phoebe, pleasure to make your acquaintance!
~shakes hand~
I think there are some other New Zealanders around somewhere. I'm just terrible associating people with places and whatnot :P
Hiya, Luce :D
~hugs~
Heeey, Eve!
~hugs~
Hiya, Bsoithea!
~hugs~
Hellboy! You ARE on!
Hello!
~glomps~
Also, I don't wake up like that either :P
Fortunately...
I DO get dizzy occasionally, but only when I stand up quickly. Then I'm super, majorly dizzy that I have to catch myself from falling, but it only lasts for about 2 second then I'm totally normal again.
You scare me, Pheobe.
Thats what everyone else says...
Everybody! I need a name! Like, a SP name so that none of you can control me or something. I've been thinking and thinking and I CANT come up with ANYTHING!!!
Help please :)
aW, Skyrl...
No hellows

A taken name?
@Phoebe
Well, makes sense. Bricks ARE lovely!
And I would lOVE a present, thank you very much!
Yes. I just cant decide!
I dont know,

Does it bother

Star Inkbright (Ink)
Sorry for slow replies, guys!

Afternoon blogland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not especially. Was just curious. :)
Hiya, Cat!
Pleasure to make YOUR acquaintance as well!
And I'm terribly sorry for not greeting you earlier :<
Yay!
* hands Skyril a car *
People all seem to have cars, and so I thought I'd buy you one.
Skyril: Its... a toy car.
A car!Its still a car!
BOOM!
Heh heh heh.
Hi Em!
These bricks are made for throwing, and that's just what they'll do. One of these days the brick is just gonna hit you
Not staying, just a one off comment
Sorry for going afk there. I didnt really give any warning xS
Ahhh, so you do know Skyril, Lucy.
(Yes, I kinda just remembered how to use the italics thing. Forgive me guys, if I overuse it XD)
Also, lol-
Cat: You scare me, Pheobe.
Pheobe: Thats what everyone else says...
The car is no more. As is Skyril.
Most of my presents do that. You have been warned :D
Hi Emrald Melody.
Don't worry

Hehehe. I was fascinated by italics when I first worked them out. All of html was the same, really...*laughs*
Hmmm...idea!

~grins~
Hiya, Em!
~glomps~

Toy cars are the best. Naturally.

Do You swim a lot?
Ah, car is no more...
I love hyperlinking stuff. :)
Well you make writing invisible like this: (ill put spaces inbetween everything so hopefully you can see it. But dont put the spaces in when YOU do it)

Ok, now I feel like telling everybody about Firefly.
Someone remind me to buy more SP books before the end if the week.
Hello, Chloe!
Pleasure to make your acquaintance!

SKYRIL

Nereid Fallow?
Fallow PERIHELION
Midnight Coure
Sunchoke Air
Elemental or adept?
Coure is copper
Yeah, Holly's my given name . . . I never used it as a display name though.
Nice name L. Or should I say, Robyn. :)
Robyn's your middle name, riiiiiiight???
* Gives Robyn the whole SP series, including my own copy of KOTW * There. Thats your present.
BOOM!
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! IT BLEW UP!! I SHOULDVE KNOWN.....
I just blew up the SP series. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
*laughs and shakes head* I didn't mean right now! :P
HELLBOY
THAT'S SO AWESOME!!
You NEEED TO GET THE TO READ SP!
We desperately need more Firefly fans here!
Oh, Sorry. Hello, Robyn.
Well, I'll be a firefly fan if you tell me what it is.
Malachite
Anything here that seems right?
Im playing with a name, now
Has anyone here already read KOTW? Apart from me that is...
Ooooh, Robyn IS Lyd!
HIIIII, LYDDIE!
~glomps~
SO GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT!
~grins~
By the way, if you don't leave a comment and need to refresh the page, click, "Publish Your Comment" with the comment box empty, and then click, "Newest comments" at the top of the page. Unfortunately, that the easiest way to do it -_-
Yes, Robyn is my middle name. I'm considering changing my name to Robyn...
I'm bored if being Luce. Everyone is different around L...if that makes any sense...
Hello Everyone :)
OH, I'LL TRY, SKYRIL!
Some of them I am LIKING!
Core would be a cool last name...
Malachite Core. Hmm. Sounds a bit too mitallic.
Midnight is nice too....
Phoebeeeeeeeeeeee!
Firefly is an AMAZING tv show that the Fox people totally DESTROYED by showing the third episode first and things like that and kept changing the time of the show without warning.
It's TOTALLY brilliant, though. It's... hard to describe.
It's completely fantastic, though! You need to get it and watch it! The "end" of the show is the movie Serenity after the first season. The people totally messed up the show, but so many bought the dvds that they could do the movie the "finish" it.
Midnight Air...
Ooops! I just realised that that sounds odd.
Reminds me of Midsummer nights dream for some reason.. *shudder*
F*ck...
LYDIA!!
You totally just got first of the new page!
~grins~
Now You Have To Dedicate The Page To Something. It Can Be Anything. You Just Say, "I Dedicate This Page To" and fill in the blank! It's A Necessity When You Get The First :D
But robyn was first...
That sounded a bit too enthusiastic. Gah.
*clears throat*
I'll try, Skyril.
Much better...
Wait, are you Lydia or Luciana? O_o
I'm confusing myself now...
I got first...for the second time in a for, Skyril..
*headDB*
Meh. Ill just stick to Phoebe for the time being... were all friends here, right? No one would control me or whatever? WOULD YOU!!!?
LOL, Hellboy!
xD
~high-fives~
My coffee has gotten cold O_o
*hifives* One step closer to occupying the world with Firefly fans.
Poor you. Here, I'll warm it up for you! If you use my present, its a microw-
Skyril: "NOOOO!!!!!!"
Oooh, SOORRY!
Hiii, Robyn who is Luce whom I have confused with someone else!
AND HELLOOOOOOO, LydiAAAAAAAAAAAA!
~glomps~
WELCOME TO BLOGLAND
Would you like a present Lydia?
Yes, Hellboy, Yes ~grins~
~steps slowly away from the microwave and watches from a safe distance~
1. I've nothing to dedicate to.
2. I'm on my phone..
3. I can't dedicate.
>.<
Who is this Lydia we're talking abouuuut... is this the Lydia I know?
Bad luck about the first comment, Luc :P I'd write it myself, but i have to think about the suit jacket I have to bring to school tomorrow ._.
* microwave doesnt explode *
Hmm.... I think soemthings wrong with the microwave. Its not exploding. * poke *
......
* poke poke *
........................
* heats up cold coffee in microwave *
BOOM!!!
Coffee explodes.
Emrald??
*pushes Hb in the lake* that's for KOTW and for being you. :P
Speak of the devil, Lydia just poked me on fb.
@Hellboy
YES! She is :3
I am still here, I'm just writing and having a bit of lunch.
*pushes dedications away*
*runs off*
AHH!
~ducks under spray of coffee~
Ok. Well, we should ALL dedicate the page to something then. ~nods~
Definitely. It will be fun!
*flails around in lake* awww, but Lucy... I'm allergic to lakes...
I just found another scar on my leg I didn't know about...
Ooops. Well, at least we have a microwave now!
I hereby use up Robyns dedecation to dedecate this page to this wonderous microwave.
And to ask for a moments silence for the now deceased cold coffee.
I now shall officially give this blog this wonderous microwave as a gift.
Everyone here shall oath that whenever someone new or someone who wasnt here to witness this moment in history, they shall inform said new/unknowing poeple of this magical microwave and use it so that eventually everyone will know about the wonderous microwave. The WM. And so, the WM shall pass on through history, Blogger to blogger, father to son, etc.
I have just started a lifelong tradition :D
I've got a dedication idea. I think. Oh well.
brb
Well, I hope. DOES EVERYONE OATH THAT THEY WILL INFORM EVERYONE ON THE PLANET OF THE WM? THE WONDEROUS MICROWAVE?
I for one would kinda like to hear Luc's idea xD I'm not oathin' yet, I'm afraid.
*is confuddled*
*teleports to nearby tree*
*sits in tree reading Mockingjay*
Robyn? Fine, me calls you Robyn then. Robyn Hood, totally
OMG I WAS REALLY BORED SO I JUST WENt ON POPTROPICA OF ALL THINGS AND THERE IS A SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT ISLAND!!!!
I dont know what that is.
I take it back theres not. Its called Skullduggery, with TWO l's
Cat, thats probably a good thing. Poptropica sucks. Its really wierd too.
MOTHER OF GOD
I JUST READ SOMETHING THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MINDS AND CHANGE ALL OF YOUR LIVES
I dedicate this blog to Personality.
What would the world be without it? Everything would be the same, boring. Even if everyone wore the same vibrant color, it would be dreadfully boring since EVERYTHING is that color.
Liking different books, different movies, different THINGS is the reason for conversation. If we were all the same... we'd be sitting here asking each other how the weather is and then sitting quiet with nothing to ask or talk about.
Actually, we might not be here at all, we might be at some other place because everyone had the same idea to right the same book at the same time.
Personality is what gives us fun and life and ideas and everything lovely.
Personality ~Nods~
It's an absolutely wonderful thing. :]
So I dedicate this page to personality.
CHOOSE A RANDOM VIDEO ON YOUTUBE.
THEN, HOLD DOWN THE LEFT ARROW.
TAP THE DOWN ARROW.
GO GO GO!
I wish to dedicate to scars. Yes, this could be an obscure one but it's not if you really think about it, it's pretty logical.
This kind of leads on a bit from my last dedication...
Well, scars are like pictures, in a way. They reflect moments in your life. But scars are more than pictures. Scars show your strength. They show some of the things that you've been through. You should be proud of your scars, because they help to mould the true you.
When people ask me what I like mist about my appearance..I answer 'the scar on the left side of my chest'. My answer generally causes me to meet a few worried and confused eyes. So, I just smile and explain my time in hospital and explain how it affected everyone I know. It is a part of me and I am more strong than i ever could

And now I have to go eat breakfast! Be back, probably, in a little while!
Personality! Speaking of, I don't know what suits me more, Eve Marone or Eve L'Keet.
Are you talking about the loading dots that move around like Snake?
Great ded, Skyril :D
Guuurgh I guess that means I have to ded also...
What's it supposed to do?
Is derek on here? Because up above he JUST deleted a comment! I think...
HI DEREK!!! I dont have much luck. The ONE time your coming to NZ, im in Ireland. Life sucks.
I don't have any scars, so...
Bye Skyril!
I might disappear soon, warning
Why dont you
tell us
how you got
it
if you
dont mind?
Phoebe, Derek doesn't delete people's comments. That was my comment and I deleted it :P
But it said it was deleted by the author...
* sits down and starts to cry, once again missing out on derek *
I doubt Derek could figure out how to delete others comments. He broke the Blog few times.
Zafira! Do you know about the Wonderous Microwave?
The author of the comment, Phoebe. Awwww, don't be sad. He'll come to blogspeak one day :)
He didn't break it, WE did. Somehow :P
Zafira! Answer me! You need to know about the Wonderous Microwave!
