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.

I am!
Im procrastinating here... i should be typing... but im not.
Okay... Brb googling the definition of that long word...
Oh so your delaying typing 3:) what should you be typing??
my story thing... its a thing i want to write, but its... harder than usual.
Writers block or just don't know how to carry on??
both, i guess... not really writer's block yet though. when i get writer's block, i cant look at a sheet of paper or a pen without wanting to scream.
Unlucky... Imagine the place and scene that you're writing about, that's how my friend clears her blocks. It may help you :P
It's probably a good thing that when I write it doesn't make sense :D
OW
sorry... nice idea... but that makes me want to tear my eyes out.
HI! I'm back! Again again again.
I honestly dont know how to help... Sorry... D:
Hi Phoebe :)
I hate that, I have what you have at the moment actaully. We can suffer togeather :)
Or is it :(... I dont know

That wasnt a spoiler! I didnt tell you anything! ONE WORD was vaguely RELATED to KOTW.
Adrasdos Dark. Hello.
Cat. Salve.
Hi Adra!!
Hi Adra!
Cat and Willow hate me now for some reason! Maybe its cause of my generosity with presents...
DO you want a present?
No thanks, Phoebe...
Hey Willow!!!
*hands them Skul-cakes*
Skul-cake? For me!!!?
* pokes * How come YOUR gifts dont explode!?
Cat, where you from??
Because I don't take gifts from strange people...
Yea. Where ARE you from?
*sits and watches, knowing what probably is going to happen*
* thinking to myself * So... if I use the presents that other people give ME and then re use them to give to OTHER people, then my prezzies wouldnt explode! Yay!!!!
5 months later...
Hi! Do you want a skul-cake? Its 5 months old! * hands a mouldy, sticky, squidgy skulcake *
"Gee... thanks...."
* trys to burn *
BOOM!!!
I come from
the
planet of
the
Time Lords.
Whats gonna happen Adra?? I don't know...
Yay!!! Another time lord!! Why dont you have a tv show???
What? Gallafrey?
Or however you spell it...
Just that. An unclear answer for Cat XD
*looks to Cat*
So am I, fellow Gallifreyian!
Its so
hard to keep
everybody's
names
and given
names
straight.
i just go with the flow
I dont need
a TV
show
Is there anybody here who ISNT a timelord?
Oh and I still have the Tardis so BEAT THAT!
I like
Skittles
And
That's
Not
Hard
To
Remember.
you can't even spell
TARDIS
so that's not hard.
And you dont have
the sonic.
Ah, may I point out that I was one of the first Timelords here???
And the Doctor is coming for you, just to note
I'm not a time lord all I have is a dr who poster on the side of the wall opposite my house (a cardboard box)
I have a TARDIS lunchbox... And sonic. and bow tie. And tons of other things.
I think I had a Silence, but I don't remember
Time
And
Relative
Dimension
In
Space.
I think.
Oh, trust me.
I know
the doctor
better than
you
would know.
And i was here before you, so...
been here
since
June 2011
and read the blog
before that
I read the blog since 09 but commented in November.
la la la not listening!
I have watched EVERY episode over and over until I know every word everyone says! I am the ultimate DW fan. Of course, its SP over DW, but only JUST
*laughs* not to be cynical, Cat. But you don't know me, so I honestly don't think you can assume that...
All I'm saying is that I was one of the first to go through the human-timelord metacrisis, and announced it on the blog.
And I've read on the blog ever since it first came out, so
LETS NOT START AN ARGUEMENT LET'S START A SWORD FIGHT!!
I looked
up your profile.
Asadros
Dark
Has only exsisted
since
October 2011
read the blog from the beginning
* cuts off willows head *
Lets have an argument now that thats settled...
*stabs Willow*
Um... Oops.
I really should be working
I <3<3 Kittens.
Cat just because you didn't have a profile back then doesn't mean you didn't read the blogggggggg.
*trips and falls off a cliff*
cool! You're all killing me :D
LOL! How do you change your name???
ive read it since the beginning, Asadros Dark...
Finally.
Do
you know
how
long that
shoelace has been there
, waiting for you
to trip over it?
Crap! It's changed back to the old one... Eh, I'll leave it like this for a bit.
I like it, The Shadow Ripper-Rim
how do you change your name, though???
And okay, Cat, can you call me Adra??? you seem to get the letters mixed up a lot xP
It's the old name from when I first commented... Don't know what happened... Willow Suede is my OC from a joint story I started last year.
Click on your name and it should take you to a page thing, click on the edit button and then change it.
Cool!!!... but you're still not getting it.
How do you change the name on your profile?
I just said
I hope it works this time
Oh yeah... Well it didn't load yet ;)
Sorry- i try to keep them straight, i really do
s'alright, cat :P
AH I FOUND IT!!!! *raises chalice into the sky, the sun setting behind it as I stand on a cliff*
Also, typing adra is easier. Just saying.
Can i call you The Empress?
Yeah. *twitches* it just annoys me when people put
Asrados
Ardados
Asdados
And so on and so forth...
*shrugs* it;ll boost my ego again, but suuure
NO one can spell my gven name right... pisses me off. I understand.
*nods* yeeeeahhh I do :P
I also understand your problem :(
Hello!

SPPECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH
DEDICATE!!!!
Ow. Dont do much
blog
shouting
now my vocal
cords are sore.
I AM SO ANNOYED AT PHOEBE RIGHT NOW. SHE JUST RUINED PART OF KOTW FOR ME. I PART I WOULD PROBS HAVE LAUGHED OUT LOUD AT. AND THOSE ARE THE BEST BITS. I NEVER LAUGH AS MUCH AS THE FIRST TIME. AND NOW IT'S RUINED. I'LL NEVER HAVE THAT MOMENT LAUGHTER BECAUSE WHEN I READ THAT PART I'LL BE THINKING OF PHOEBE AND IT WILL CEASE TO BE SO FUNNY.
I AM VERY BAD AT BEARING GRUDGES, BECAUSE I ALWAYS END UP FORGIVING YOU. BUT FOR A FEW MOMENTS OF MY LIFE, I WILL UTTERLY HATE YOU, PHOEBE, FOR RUINING MINE AND OTHERS' READING EXPERIENCE.
*A PART I
*FORGIVING PEOPLE
Adra: Silence will fall.
Me: Shut up.
Adra: Whuuutttt???
Me: Be quiet! You've used that too many times.
Adra: *sulks*
Me: Big surprise there.
Adra: *crosses arms* It should be.
Me: Please. Please. Be quiet and wait for Zaf to dedicate.
Adra: Hang on. *goes to Cat* you alright?
Me: Sit down, will you?
Adra: *sulks*
Me: Good doggie.
OMG. WHATTT???????
The HELL???
Well...
I agree.

but there
is
one place in
book two
and every time i
read it
i laugh
so hard i
cant breathe
and i get
happy
Never okay, The Empress
I am never okay
. . . And now, due to my horribly annoying tendancy to empathise, I feel really bad about writing that. Sorry, Phoebe. But it was necessessary, to avoid furthur spoilering.
And, I wasn't talking about the, uh, first quote spoiler. I was talking about the "you get the reference in 23 days" one.
*you'll
I know whatcha mean, Cat. But now that part in KOTW will be forever ruined for me. And I love laughing at books. So I was so annoyed. Now I'm over it.
OOOOH.
*shakes head*
I agree, Phoebe. You should stop, really. It isn't fair to the rest of usss
You do? really?
Its that bit where Skulduggery says,
Here, Let me give you a hand.
he says it other times, but that line, right there... you need to read a few chapters, but...
One should Always Write
Angry Letters
When THey Are
Angry
But One
Should Never Mail Them
AWWWW A PUPPY
Anyway, it distracted me. :)
Gone was freaking me out. I'm rereading the series. I'm only 160ish pages through the first book (on a reread) but I already spooked myself. *laughs*
I'm REALLY not good with horror. Too imaginative. But that makes it more funnn. I like trying to svare myself. I don't like it when I'm actually scared though. :)
I love
being terrified
I got spokked at little kids who have bloody knives, and are smiling freakily and stuff. MUAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ lolololololl ool I'm not looking at the computer while typing this
. . . No, 130ish pages through. *has an annoying tendancy to get all the tiny details right*
...*speaks slowly* Clot-pole.
The Empress, I like the way
you
post your
mind workings. I just
wish mine
were so simple...
Guys, STOP WITH THE SPOILERS, FFS!
Flame. Chill.
I've not said any spoilers.
I just ask for them..
*laughs* But it wasn't even scary, really. I just imagine things to well.
I Havent Read it! I Cant
Spoil!
So Dont
Spoil
For Us.
And he thought she might cry
but she closed herself up
like a fan
And I won't March Again
On Your Battlefield.
Clot- what????????
Cat lol I'm not sure whether to be offended or not.
Oh my. God. This book is not liking me! Let's see....
15 thousand words in, and I'm stuck.
*is in a rage, and breaks virtual furniture*
*nods appreciatively at Robyn* (Can I call you that?) Yes. And you do it where we won't see them. Which I am grateful for.
Btw - clot-pole? Merlin?
*repeats slowly* Clot-pole.
*hums Merlin theme*
I know what you mean...
and that's why
I find that line so funny
because
to see your fears
and your life
in hundreds of
shards
and seeing
your skulduggery
like that...
I have swallowed a
secret burning thread
and it cuts me inside
and quite often i've bled
Oh, Skulduggery...
Oh, god skulduggery
Oh I get that!
How deep, Cat. I kinda like it :D
Yes. I Luke being called Robyn. :')
And of course Merlin. I'm watching Secrets And Magic. Again.
Our family LOVES Merlin. We have all four serieses on DVD. We watch all the serieses every year - so we've seen some of them, like, five times . . .
Plus, WE'RE GONNA GO TO FRANCE AND SEE THE CASTLE WHERE THEY FILMED MERLIN THIS YEAR ON HOLIDAY! :)
*throws computer our window*
*punches wall*
ah-
owwwwww. WHY DID I DO THAT *actully punched a wall*
I mean, we're going this year. Not they filmed Merlin this year. Although they did film Merlin this year, obviously.
Pictures. If you meet Eoin, Bradley, Colin, Santiago or Katie I hope you know I expect you to be getting their autograph. :P
Ouch. You remind me of Ivy. :)
Who are you talking to???? *raises eyebrow*
Twenty minutes...!
*is slightly nervous*
I dont mean you're simple minded, i mean you seem to have two main tracks, not thousands of voices... and more than just voices
Ah. yes. I am peculiar. My mind goes a million miles an hour and usually leaves people in the dust
and nervous for...?
I dedicate this page to Derek Landy. Because I feel like making his ego bigger. You awesone Derek
COURSE I'LL BE PHOTOINGGG.
And yeah, I'll get there autograph of I see them - though I doubt I will.
Also, Katie McGrath should play China in the SP movie. She would be PERFECT. And Derek's met her irl. And she's Irish. And I used to love Morgana before she turned evil. Now I like her less, but not coz she's evil, coz she's . . . Just an empty person now. She used to be so full of fire. Now she's ice.
WOOOOOOW Zaf :P
*raises chalice*
I CONCUR
You know, so many people say they hate Mr. Pleasant
but
can you
put yourself
in his shoes?
can you wake up
every morning and
say
i killed
all of those
i killed
my best friend's
mother
i killed
fathers
sons
i killed women
and children
and each one
had a family
and today
i am going to see
if i can save
one or two
can you imagine
doing
what he does
every
day
with a young
girl
at your
side
because
its not a
life for a life
you cant
kill one, save another
and be even
you kill one
and its never
even
again
just musing to myself
I SHOUT! *raises glasd*
I shouted I SHOUT! irl today. :)
LOL!!! Star!!! *collapses on ground*
Cat... that was incredible. i love that
I just love Katie. She's so precious. She's just...stunning. and her laugh is delicate. She is just China Sorrows. She'd love it, as well. Men falling for her without her doing anything. She complains about how Angel gets to snog everyone and I laughed so much.
and
anyday
you could
break
because
it wasnt
just someone
else
who came from
nothing
because
it was you
the whole time
because
it was you
the whole
time
*their autographs if
I need to pay more attention to my grammer. *frowns*
LOL
*grammar
*grins happily* YAY! I love it when people agree with me about things I feel strongly about. If there has to be an SP movie, KATIE HAS TO PLAY CHINA.
Derek's blogspoken to me about it. Well, he said, like, two sentences. But still.
*laughs* LOL, Adra. I'm such a dollophead! :P
Or one sentence, maybe.
Msd. He'll be online soon...
LOL yeahhhh *laughs*
I GET TO TORTURE DREWWW
I GET TO TORTURE DREWWW
I GET TO TORTURE DREWWW
K Robyn.
What now?
*can't wait for my turn at Pleasant Daes :)*
*frowns* Wait. My turn isn't going to be when I'm on holiday, is it?
I go on holiday a week on Tuesday. A week tomorrow, that is. I'll be away for about two weeks. I HOPE I'll still be able to come here. Big writing tasks? Not ENTIRELY sure that'll be within my abilities.
i said
my words
Hah Em....
Huh... I don't think nix realizes that it's his turn
He realises.
I'm scared. *frowns*
Fear is a weird emotion...
Nice name, btw, Adra.
He does but he says he is busy at the moment so...
Thanks :P Sir Rein's fault.
And oh. Okay.... :P I just want to see what other characters are like, because I know that other people don't realize what Rane's ability is.. :P
What is cake man's ability?
Lol Em, no one cared about my comment :P
Okay. I have £8.30 credit on my phone. Assuming nothing changes with my internet, it will cost me £1 per day to use internet. Or less, for a miniscule amount of time. I am going for over eight days. I probs won't top up there.
So, whilst I am on holiday, I will not be hereevery day. Well, that's okay. I'll survive.
*gulps* You DO all realise that since February, there's only been one day when I haven't been here?
He'll be up anytime now... >.<
Damn time zones..
I commented
on your comment
The empress
*hugs Star* you will be missed.
UNLESS, I get free wi-fi. Which would save me money. Seems likely that a campsite would offer wi-fi, but I can't rely on there being any.
*smiles* Thanks. But it'sa few days. Not a long time. If I knew I couldn't be here all holiday, I would be . . . Not happy.
*hugs Star* I agree!!! You should get on when you can, and if it doesn't make you broke!!!
Lol Cat. I love that. It's going to my head now. *laughs*
