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.

It's the fact that I am off to bed. Good night, everyone. Pleasant dreams, or daydreams.
Bye Sir!
Bye Sir Rein! *hugs*
Pweeeeaaaassssseeeeee
I'm not sure what I want. This is good for writing, but not good for me being a character
*nods* well, just do whatever feels natural for ya
SILENCE HAS FALLEN AGAIN GODDAMMIT!!!
*goes back to writing book 2*
I just said something!
Well, yeah but it didn't count... not really. You can't make a conversation off of "okay"
Bye Sir!
*throws a strawberry after him*
*gives a strawberry to Nix and Adra*
You can if you try
*eat strawberry*
It's just the one strawberry, so you'll have to share xD
...OR you can just eat it. :P
Ugh. I may as well be reciting Shakespeare...
My mistress's eyes were nothing like the sun.
Coral is far more red than her lips red...
If now be white, why then her breasts are dun...
If hair be wires, black wires grow on her head...
I have seen roses damask'd red and white
But no such roses see I in her cheers.
And in no perfume is there more delight
than that from which my mistress reeks...
*takes strawberry*
AHHH IT'S STALE!
...I don't understand Shakespeare
*laughs*
neither do i... Ironically.
But there ya go, Nix. There was my attempt at civilized conversation.
A PLAGUE ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES
Civilized? Pffffffft
Who needs civilization?
DEREK!!

Oi! Watch it!!! *runs off, crying*
*runs after Adra*

*stops running and sits down and sulks*
*laughs*
*comes back, and sits next to Cain*

Hi Luce!
Did someone say you wanted to talk to me?
I'm here, Lucy Anna :)
heeeey L!!
Eve, I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier. I was on the car for hours and hours and then when I finally got home I got some more bad news and I've just been super irritable recently...Even Hb hasn't been able to keep me stable Luke he usually manages to. I've just been in a funny mood and I shouldn't have been so foul mouthed, earlier. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so horrid.
Hi Luce!
I was just gonna say, yall, it's late, and I need sleep horridly, so...
Bye everyone!
*hugs Eve*
*hugs Cain*
*hugs Nix*
*hugs Luce*
*hugs anyone forthcoming or not on*

Bye Adra!
It's almost 6am. Thank god!
I've been up all night. Hehe.

Bye, Adra!
bye Adra!
*hugs*
Bye Adra!!!!!!!!!! *hugs*
blody hell those pics are brilliant... oh... hi... I've actualy convinced myself to talk in an irish accent without trying... the dilema is that now I cant speak american... uhh... funny stuff...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxB1gB6K-2A
I felt really bad. Yesterday was not a good day for ne. Chat has, uh, well...I don't even know how to describe what happened amongst them. But me and Hb are attempting to sort things out. Great fun that is. Yay.
I'll shush and attempt to come to a decision as to which books to buy..
ha... watch the video
hi Jakro!!
"I still aint bothered!"
hi
Hey, Jakro!
And, one. It's 6.08 am. Two. I'm on my phone. Three. Everyone else is asleep.
No videos for Lucy. :(
Hi Jakro!
its 10:pm here
eve... video... hahahahahahaha...
can you send me the prologue?
Back
hmm
im just going on all book stores for the cheapest price for the Down Under Tour editions
10 bucks online for each on Dymocks...
wbd
researching bookstores catalouges
Are they the new paperback editions? The ones on my bottom shelf towards the left, I think?
yeah, those are the ones, L
just the Down Under tour editions...
Nah, special Aussie editions, only availble in Australia
Ha!
Yeah, they're dirt cheap over here. SP new edition paperback I bought for £1. Which is, like, nothing over there. *laughs* I'm good at getting things cheap. C:
But we get something you don't
HA!
I think I'm going to buy about 4-9 more SP books in this next week. Then ill start saving up for KOTW collectors edition and normal edition Hardback. And then the Aussie edition. :P
*laughs in triumph*
THEYRE MINE!! ALL MIIIIINEEEEEE!!!!!!
now, i have to work the money off that i DONT have
also, i get them in about 2-4 days
AAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL MMMMMMIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
*runs around yelling 'theyre all mine'*
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Can you even get the Aussie edition over there?
I might just buy the collectors edition KOTW...so then I buy other SP books, too. C:
I'm on 31! XD
*bangs into a tree*
*gets up and continues to run around like a maniac*
I'm not sure if you can get the Aussie editions over there...
/I/ can, Nix. Not sure how many others can, like, but I can. And will. The covers please me. :3
DEREK!!
How many books can you sign? I don't think many people are comming to the Melbourne event, so will you sign more than one?
Thanks
Have they got a golden thing at the bottom of the front cover saying something like 2012 down under your special editions?
'Derek signs as many as he has time for. If I were you, I'd take a few and the two you want signing the mosy should be put at the top of the pile.' - Becky, the Irrepressible.
Most*
Yeah, but seven people are going, and at least one has no books with them (parent)
So...
ive got to go now
*rubs head*
byeeeee!!
*waves but accedently bashes my own nose*
Bye Miss!
I quoted the irrepressible Becky. I don't have any knowledge other than that. Signings are not my speciality, given I've never been to one and I've never met Derek.
So Luce, do your editions have it?
Bye, Cain! *hugs*
What's the question? I got SP'd. The books were screaming out to be rearranged...
Have your editions got a golden thing at the bottom of the front cover saying something like '2012 down under your special editions'?
If not, they aren't the special Aussie editions
Mine are the UK ones, nimrod. :P
But if I so desired I could buy those ones. Pretty simple, really.
And we were merely pointing out that the covers are practically identical. :P
Mine are the UK ones, nimrod. :P
But if I so desired I could buy those ones. Pretty simple, really.
And we were merely pointing out that the covers are practically identical. :P
Yeah, the covers are, but we have bonus material you don't have
*headDB* Damn double comment!
Did you hit yourself with Death Bringer?
You have a banner in gold. *laughs* we've had the books with short stories for far longer. And the hardbacks. And collectors edition hardbacks. And the large paperbacks.
Yeah, but we get an extra short story from Germany, and Tom Percival art
Yes, I just hit myself with my DB Hardback. It was painful.
I hit myself with Mortal Coil yesterday
JAKRO. DELETE YOUR LATEST COMMENT.
Eve, I'm guessing your email didn't work
Tom Percival does the UK art, too. And he tweeted me back. Twice.
And which German one? Mytosis Terror? Or something like that. *laughs* that was a funny day...
Yeah, but we get extra art in the back of DB, and I don't remember the name, but it said it was the first time it was printed out of Germany. If it lied, heads are going to roll
Never hit yourself on the head with the second trilogy hardbacks. It's so painful I can't even...
Mytosis. *nods* Which book did you get it in? Or was it sold separately? *is making a list of things to buy*
Mortal Coil had the germany story, Dark Days had deleted scenes from book 1, Death Bringer had Tom Percival art, and I'm pretty sure the first 3 just had the regular short stories you get
I haven't bought them yet
Oh.
I'll check Dymmocks, later. (':
I read them though. I read the bonus stuff
Except for one and two. I already read the bonus short stories in that, and I never though to check if it had more bonus stuff
Any time anyone talks to Hellboy and he isn't on here tell him to go to Blogland! I'm trying to get him to come back to Blogland. :L
I tried to get them all the come back. To be honest, they prefer to moan about it then do anything
Have you heard from Lynxia, recently? :/ I'm worried about her...
Oh, I email her every day
She's going on holiday today. To a beach somewhere
brb
Well, Hb told me that he'll come to Blogland when he remembers or is reminded. C:
And I can have words with some of themmmm. I can be rather influential when I want to be. :P
Loki doki!
And I should probably have e-mailed her last week. Same with Sparky. I need to e-mail Mist, though...Why is it so goddamn early!?
I've heard from Sparky and Mist
I tried to help them. I joined the chat, I got to know them. Then when I tried to get them to come back, they insult me and moan and say I don't know what happened
So I gave up on them
I'm in the fb chat and the new chat. I get along pretty well with Kal, Octa, Red, Sky and Hb. I don't rreally talk to the rest that much. But they're pretty nice, to me...I'll see what I can do. I got Facebookians on here. C:
Wbd. Msd.
Jakro, email.
Don't think he's here Eve
*growls*
I panicked for a minute, then. I thought my DD new paperback went missing. my brother has it, though...
ASDFGHJ
I'm starting to get tired.
What is this
I don't like it.
Time for coffeeeeeee.
I'm starting to get tired
ASDFGHJK
Hello again fellow minions!
My internet sucks so if I disappear for ages that is the reason.
Hi Maya!
Heya, Maya!
Coffee = Hyper Luc. Hehehe
I've a feeling I'll regret that all nighter...*giggles* I look so wide awake, it's freaky. I wish everyone would wake up...
Have you seen the new Dr Who trailer yet?
I'm goofy goober. ROCK.
I'm a kid, you say
When you tell me not to play I say no way
N-n-nnoo wayyy.
Spongebob?
I'm not a Whovian. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. *dances to sorry sorry without even thinking*
Yup. I have the Campfire song Song in my head, too.
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G SONG...
She's not there
Well no one told me about her the way she lied
Well no one told me about her how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there!
For some reason I can't explain
I <3 that song
Brb. I'm in dire need of another coffee...
Whenever I have homework I eat lemons. It keeps me awake because I have boring homework.
SHES A MOD SHES A MOD SHES A MOD
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH
SHES A MOD SHES A MOD SHES A MOD
YEAH YEAH
SHES A MOD AND SHE WON'T CHANGE ANYMORE!
Oh Yeah, BTW I have a habit of type/singing the song I am listening to . Right Now it is "Praise You" by Fatboyslim
I am going until I can get on my laptop. Which will probably be in about 2 hours knowing how long my sister can sleep for! :P
Okay
Bye Luce!
Ooh. Dark Shadows is good, and Woman in Black is wonderfully scary. So you're in for a treat there. =) I don't watch any of the shows you're recording, but have you seen the new season of Teen Wolf? Not sure when it airs over there, but you HAVE to watch it when it does. It's amazingly intense so far. =)
Hi Minnie!
Oh, Hi! How's it going?
It's going... north, north east?
Yeah, just ignore me, I make no sense
How're you?
Bye Luci!
Hi Minnie!
I'm good, Nixion, thnx. =) For me, it's going more due east with a strong crosswind. Hoist the mainsail! Baton down the hatches! =)
Hi, Mayajune21!
Hall the penton line!
I have no idea how to spell, but I heard it on some movie once, so maybe I'm on to something
Oh I can't decide whether you should live or die
I mean you'll probably go to heaven please don't hang your head and cry
my heart is dead inside it's cold and hard and petrified!
BTW I'm not singing to like either of you just singing in general
haha! Yeah, me too. I'm not sure I spelled "baton" at all right, or if I'm just thinking of Baton Rouge. *shrugs*
Haha, thank goodness, Mayajune21. For a second, I though you actually couldn't decide whether I should live or die. ;)
If its and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas
No nessesarily true, but it rhymes
Be here in 15 minutes!
Okay Star!
Alright, well, I should get to bed. It was nice talking to you guys. =) Keep...sailing?
I shall keep crashing the ship and drowning, which is close enough
Bye Minnie!
Haha! Bye! =)
Okay.
Tumblr is dead.
Which is weird.
And I cannot write.
I lost that ability along with my ability to trust.
Anyway, that means I am back. No-one I follow on twitter is tweeting. D: Oh and eBay is boring.
WB Luce!
G'night Minnie!
Hopefully I will SEA you on Blogland again.
HAHAHAHA
Thanks.
QUESTION-
Why do I get so many creepers? It's freaky. So. Many. Creepers.
I don't like Minecraft
I've never played Minecraft.
Apparently I should.
*shrugs* I like Zelda. I'm happy with Nintendo games! ;D
But you just said you got Creepers?
Creepers as in...*shakes head* Never mind.
It's an in-joke, I guess. *shrugs*
The only Creepers I know are from Minecraft
Never played Zelda either
Hi people!
ZELDA IS BEAUTIFUL. ASDRTFGYHUJIKOLP/
Staaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrr. *tacklehugs* Hi.

Hi Selena! Yay you.
@Nixion
Same Comment O_0
Hey, Selena! :D *waves*
Hmmm...
*snatches Luciana's waves and throws them back into the sea*
*hands out fezzes*
thought like doing that...
Hey, Selena Just wondering but why weren't you at writers group?
My sister shaved her head for cancer, and my parents kinda didn't really want her to, no because they don't think that raising money for kids with cancer is bad, but because they think that there are better ways and anyway she is not allowed her laptop as punishment, so I had to read her Derek's latest post, word for word to her. She is 14 and now bald. I get a shock when I look at her. She and the friend that she did it with raised 600 bucks.
Wow...
*hands out waves* Careful, they're wet.
Go Jessica!!!! *Applauds*
Is her school alright with it?
*blinks* She's BRAVE, to do that. I'm (neeeeeearly) fourteen and I'd never be able to do that . . .
@ Maya, OMG I COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY FORGOT.Oh poop.
HI EVERYONE :):):)
*Grabs waves from sea and rides them all the way to the dairy* Yeah man...
What was wrong with the waves I handed outttt?
I have no idea if her high school is okay with it, I am soo not brave enough to do it and thank you star, I will try not to drop them...
*smiles*
@Selena so did basically everybody else! :P
Locksoflove is a good site for hair donations..
Hey Maya, um can you pop to my blog for a sec? Something from the book........
