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.

Anyone on?
Heylo
Hey Nix.
I've got a lovely bunch of Dragon Balls (dodododo)
Here they are, all sitting here in a bunch (dododododo)
One star, two star, all as big as my head
Give 'em a toss, a planet across
That is how I win, bye-bye!
Helena, can I ask you something?
Of course Eve.
What do you think suits me better? Eve Marone or Eve L'Keet?
Eve Marone, for sure.
Hi Star!
Okay then.
Hi Starling!!!
Star!
Hey Derek,
Are you kidding? "A tad high". It's quite chilly! You'd be lucky to get even 10 degrees here, let alone 5.
Aren't you glad you're not coming in Summer? I don't think 45 degrees celsius suits you...
I'll be attending your book signing at Mosman Library on the 14th. I REALLY hope to see you there. I'll be the one who says her name is Rosella Embers. Also, I'll be wearing a shirt with ninjas on it. Pretty distinguishable. :P
I'm so happy to finally get to meet you! (My life-long dream!) You'd have no idea how much i've been persering my friends... "A fortnight 'till He's here! Eight days! A week!"
Also, how many (Approximatly) books do you sign per person? (So I know how many you'll sign for me... If thats OK, of course)
ANyway, see you in a WEEK! Thank you for posting!
Hi Rosa!
If you're staying
I'm gonna be out doing outdoir rockclimbing all day tomorrow . . . :/
We're gonna set off at EIGHT AM. In the HOLIDAYS. Which seemes a bit early to me. But oh well.
Hi Rosella!
Wow, I can't read
I thought it said Rosa...
What? Holidays? Oh right, summer... How hot is it over in Olympia, Star?
I was gonna say, Nix. :P
Her name is 'Bird', not 'Pink' :P
It could be a pink bird
Hi Rosella! Iyas.
*sighs* I wish people wouldn't spoiler. Even a little bit. I expect this blog to be 100% spoiler free. I know Tumblr and the forums and facebook probably won't be. Which is why I'm not there. And I haven't read anythink big yet. But tiny spoilers matter too. Sos I'm annoyzigged.
How hot? You expect me to know?
*looks out of window* Er. Warm and sunny. But not baking. My dad said yesterday was 20°C ish.
Hey Rosella, you could be either Canberran or Tasmanian...
Ello-hay :)
Helloooooo?
Hey Maya!
Hi Maya!
Hey Romana.
msd
Soooooo The Aussie signing is really soon :O
11 or so days for me
Wow. You guys are missing out on a lot of sun. :O
Dinner bye!
Fare thee well Eve!
Do you watch Sherlock?
*frowns defensively* Yeah. But one day, like, two weeks ago, it was 31°C - I know that
. . . However, that amount of heat was just TOO HOT. The car was like ab oven and we couldn't bear to be out of the shade for more than a few minutes. I'm happy with temperatures in the 20s.
*that.
Fours Eve!
*that.
Fours Eve!
I'm happy with that as well Star
Of course I watch Sherlock!
Are you a Johnlock shipper?
All minions seem to watch Sherlock and Dr Who etc.
I have no idea what that is
And, oh, this is going to blow back into my face, I do not like Dr. Who, not even the tinniest bit
Hi Cal!
How can you watch Sherlock and not Dr Who? They are (although you probably know this) made by the same person. Then again some dr who episodes are kinda annoying. Have you tried watching the RTD era?
How are you Nix? It's been ages!
And yes, Maya. I worship Johnlock. Not really, but you get what I mean.
Hola Calamity!
No idea what RTD is
I'm... me. You?
Eh. Alright. I've gotten a week off school due to community outreach (or what you might know as work experience) and currently, life is good.
Naw, Maya. I adore Doctor Who as well. Moffat is brilliant and I feel as if there is nothing better!
BUT opinions are opinions. :D
YAY Johnlock shipper *highfive*
You know that scene when Sherlock was like, I don't have friends, I only have one.
I CRIED
Are you a Gleek?
I will randomly say Glee-y words in hope that you will recognise them :
Klaine, Finchel, dolphin, Kurt
I know some of them - although it's because I follow people who are Gleeks. I, personally, am not.
Apologies.
And then Sherlock chases after John using words such as 'Fantastic, brilliant, amazing!'
And you realise that's what John said to him. And that Sherlock only knows the compliments that John has showed him.
That hit the heart.
As it says on my profile I am a Russell T Davies obbessive
RTD = Russell T Davies
Russell T Davies is, well, he is, AWESOME, JEPIC, EPIC, KENTASTIC, SMFAH etc.
Johnlock <3
@ Nixion BTW Johnlock is a coupling of Dr Watson and Sherlok
Gtg. :(
Fours!
Bye Star!
Bye Star!
Then I am definatly against Johnlock
Bye Star *waves queenly*
Hello??
@ Nixion So you are one of the Holly and Sherlock shippers?
Hi Rim!
Yes. But I tend nto to actually think about stuff in the future except plot stuff. I do not like people who want pairings in everything
Whoop!!! Hey Nix and Maya!!!
3-D movies rule!!
*skips around*
Coraline in 3-D is epic!!
Hi Willow!
SHould I call you Willow?
Hi Miss!
Sure Maya! Call me Willow if you want :D
heeeey guys!
*rubs head*
stupid headache...
11 DAYS TILL DEREK ARRIVES IN PERTH!!!
my comments are getting random and randomer each time...
Hello Miss Cain!
Coraline... *shivers* That movie gave me nightmares for a week. But I love it and am terrified of it at the same time. Neil Gaiman is a very good writer.
my sister went as Coraline last year for bookweek
she looked pretty cool and we made a doll and everything!!
There are so many of you Ausrailian minions..
be back soon
ok Nix!
K Nix :) Gotta go guys!! Bye *hugs*
Quiet here...
bye Willow!!
*hugs*
Oh... I forgot to refresh.
Bye Nixion and Willow!
*sips milkshake*
ahhh, nice
now, i want to go find that Coraline doll i made
actually, i cant be bothered :P
HI HI
WB Nix!
I have to go now
Hi Nixion
Bye!
bye Maya!!
dinner
Bye!
bye Nix!!
MMM
how was your dinner??
hey everyone
hey Phoebe!
Who wants presents?
It was like eating food. Reminded me of a big lunch
*strokes chin*
very interesting, Nix...
yes please Phoebe!
ok Nix
*frowns*
why wont it let me delete a comment?
it let me do the other one...
Sorry...
Okay since thats over and done with, do you want a different present? Yes? Okay!
Heres a...
Lego brick! Yes, a lego brick! Isnt it exciting!!!
BOOM BOOM
Lucky I wore my protective gear today.
Okay, I'm sorry about that... I should have shut my mouth, it would have been fine...
*wipes face*
*dives in lake*
explosions are pretty cool...
except when theyre on me...
Two things you need to know about me:
1) I like throwing bricks for fun. I like bricks.
and 2) Everythiong I give people explode. If you look back through the comments, not that I expect you to that would be a bit dull, every single present I've given people has exploded. Im kinda famous for it :D
I dedicate this to mistakes
We all make them, and we should learn from them. That's all I got to say
not bad Nix, not bad at all...
Hi Nix, hi Cain. *pointedly ignores Phoebe, bevause if SHE looked back through the comments, she would she a capitalised paragraph of anger written by me*
Hi Star!
Why are you ignoring Phoebe?
hey Star!
Why!!? What have I done wrong this time!!
It was ME after all who gave the wonderous microwave to the blog
One word. Spoilers.
*is laughing* 31 is too much? 38 - 40 is bothering
Although technically that's three words. One, word, and spoilers.
No, it's one word. One of the words is a "one", and one a "spoilers", but only one word is a "word".
Oh god, it was so small that if I hadn't had mentioned anything, no one would have known
Hi Eve! I have no idea what you're talking about
hi Eve
its been cold in Perth, so Derek should feel right at home
well, that depends what the weather is like in 11 days...
Oh. I just fund the paragraph.
Well sorry! I have said that! I mean, it wont make you 'unread' it, but I didnt know I was spoiling! Seriously guys i'm a good person and making enemies was not what I had in mind when I started talking to you guys on here. I AM sorry. I didnt know it was spoiling. Happy now?
i actually dont know what Eve is talking about, either
but hey, i know what im talking about, which is very odd
I cant believe Derek finds that too hot :) He should see us in the summer!!
Hi eve. Everyone hates me.
Nix, I don't even remember you pointing it out. I noticed it coz I notericed it.
And I'm not actually that angry. Well, sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I am. I comes and goes. But, no more spoilers, because if you know not to spoiler, then I can focus on being not angry instead of being angry.
So. Yeah.
Wait, which spoiler did you read? How did you know there was a spoiler?
Oh yeah, and can I remind people something? Do you know what the page dedication was?
Blogger Nixion Strange said...
I dedicate this to mistakes
We all make them, and we should learn from them. That's all I got to say.
Yeah. Now I am annoyed too. So well done everyone.
I'm leaving now.
BYE.
Why are you blaming all of us Phoebe?
Bye Phoebe...
Oh, I'm not blaming you Nixion.
bye Phoebe...
Or you Miss cain.
Anyway bye.
*shrugs* Fours. I already forgave you. But if I can prevent more spoilers, then it's okay all round.
Msd.
You think the price of hurting someone's feelings is equal to not getting spoilers from that said person?
Testing, 123
Hey Jemma!
... Vladmir Todd?
i'm thinking I should change my "name" to minion, just cuz
hello nixon, how are you?
Fine
That pics from Vladmir Todd
hi Jemma!
Well, look at it this way. Spoilers upset a lot of people. If she gets upset it return, it's technically justice. If she stops spoilering, it saves upset.
Not that I don't feel guilty now. I have a tendancy to justify . . . *thinks* My mistakes? The bad things I do? My anger? . . . but that doesn't mean they aren't mistakes, bad things, anger . . .
So yeah. Sorry.
IT IS JEMMA! and yes, whoever that tod person is, i'll have to look him up. i just chose it because it's a vampire smiley
That's like jusifying one death too save two people, even though there might be other options
I'm not trying to make you feel bad, I'm just saying
It's a book. About vampires. The smiley's on the book
ahhhh
ive seen that book around
brb
dinner
Bye Miss!
me too now that i remember things
Back! Dealing with crazy people.
*laughs* I was talking about temperature. Star said 31 is too much heat to bear, I was saying that 38 - 40 is when it gets bothering for me. Jeez, people, I thought you were all perfectly capable of somehow reading my mind and knowing somehow that I was talking about a conversation that was abandoned after I left for a dinneryiu don't know about. Jeez :P
*nods at Nix* Or killing a million people to save a billion.
I know. I was mean. I won't say I wasn't, coz I was. Now I regret it.
*sighs* And I have just discovered how flawed my logic was.
:( Small amount of trouble in Blogland?
the hottest day i've wittnessed was 49, i died and became batman
I can't believe I can't refresh this page.
Of course, many people could justify killing one person for two. It all depends
Hi Komodo!
I suppose you'll just have to comment a lot
So I have to continuously post comments to stay connected.
THANKS FOR FOLLOWING MY BLOG NIXION!
i'm a little confused on this justifying killing convo, someone explain please, if not, oh well
i'm a little confused on this justifying killing convo, someone explain please, if not, oh well
You know, when I first saw your name, I thought it was Nixon strange, which would be a very bad name.
No problemo!
WOOOPS!
Oh, killing people is fine, so long as they didn't feel any pain when you do.
:(
Star, don't say that. No one was I'm the wrong here, really. Phoebe said a spoiler, which was bound to happen with someone, Star saw it and reacted like any Minion would. Reading a spoiler is angering. Phoebe apologized, and obviously the damage can't be undone like she mentioned, but she apologized, and with this poorly translating text talk she thought you were really mad at her. No one was mean, no one was in the wrong. Star not mean.
I also think cannabilism is fine though, so you may not want to listen to me.
*grins at Eve* England must seem unbearably cold to you.
38-40 degrees will never happen unless glonal warming affects the temperatures of the world by quite a lot. 31 degrees is "OMG that's practically unheard of".
*in, not I'm
why is killing people fine?
England is way too cold
Why is Nixon strange a bad name?
However,, killing a million people to save a billion is a bit, excessive.
Cos' of president nixon.
By 'you', I mean 'Starrio'. God, I need to work on USE OF PRONOUNS. :P
Oh god, I couldn't imagine living in such a cold place! The snow would be pretty, though :)
You know, in futurama he's a head?
*komodo* still, a billion...
... To be honest, killing a million to save a billion... I would justify it. I couldn't do it, but I could justify it
Oh, the president person
Was he bad?
Ungh. Posting comments is so much effort.
Totally! That's why I sometimes call you Richard, Nix. :P I was afraid nobody would get the joke LOL
I am mean at times. I'm only human. This was one of those times.
Gtg, bbs. Want to stay more but yeah, gtg.
Bye Star!
Well, killing a million to save a billion, if they wer starving to death and it was cannibalism and they died without pain then i think that's fine.
i get the feeling the things that go on in this blog have nothing to do with skulduggery pleasant AT ALL
We don't need that trash talk round here, Inkbright. STRAIGHTEN YOUR POSTURE!!!
Bye Starmap!!
BYE STAR!
'Skulduggery has a cool hat'
That's the phrase
Who here agrees with me on the topic of cannibalism is fine?
Jemma, we do speak about it, but 24/7? We'd run out of things
Cos' I certainly agree with myself.
I do not think it's fine. It's legal, with consent and no killing involved, but I don't think it's fine
