Answered emails today. Avoided them all weekend. Made some phone calls. Paid some bills. Life after a tour always seems to stilted. It takes a while to process everything and figure out the best way to tackle a few weeks' worth of stuff piling up outside my door...
While I'm getting back into the swing of things, here's something for you Irish Minions...

And here are a few things that the Minions-With-Funny-Accents gave to me while I was Down-Under...

«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 4894 Newer› Newest»Katniss is a slut. All agreed?
LOL Rim
Well....
HE CREATED AND LAUNCHED THE BOMBS
That's what I use every time I get into an argument about Gale at school. An I always win... cus GALE'S PERFECT!!!!
I only read Mockingjay once, details. I didn't even know Prim had died 'til Katniss came right out and said it.
GALE IS FLAWLESS<3
What?? He launched the bombs??? What?? He designed them. He did not press the button that released them.
I have to go, bye.
Bye Kestrel
Bye Keston!!!
Uggh I want a HG dvd now.
Hey, fleeting comment as I has school tomorrow, I went to the publication event. It was awesome. That would be all. I might, just post something about it on my blog, but then, that's me having to post something...
I love bloguments about Gale vs Peeta. It makes me feel smart.
Fletchyrie vs Valduggery is a different matter... They both have their flaws...
FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME! You got to go :O Lucky!
I can't stand Fletcher. I really can't.
Not blogspoke to you in ages Flame :( But I'm glad you got to enjoy the event :D
Robin KOTW is fucking. The. Best. Book. Yet.
Every time I see him speak or see him at all. I want to punch his face.
I used to like him now I think he's a wimpy goof with an easy way out.
I prefer Valkyrie being alone. There's more go against the stereotype action and less typical female teen stuff :D
Hi Rim! Yeah I might stay for a minute.
Stupid doctor... Want to hear that story?
Hi Rim! Yeah I might stay for a minute.
Stupid doctor... Want to hear that story?
Who Flame?? Or Fletcher??
FLAME LANGUAGE.
I'm so excited I pre-ordered like forever go and they got dispatched today.
I thought you might change your tune once you finished it.
Yeah sure :D
Fletch has a...
No. Need you to read KOTW first.
I bought a Dr who screwdriver pen instead of the book so I'm doing all I can to get money :(
FLAME SHUT UP *plugs ears* lalalala
MSD
Okay
OK, I got my cast off today, (broke it- lost story short) anyway, I went to get it off. It was swollen. I hot it x rayed. There was no 'visible factures' but it hurt like hell and I couldnt keel it up. The dictr said just to where a splint. (those Velcro things) Anyway, he should of put a cast on it because it's all droopy and sore and swollen.
Derek took the mick out of me when I was getting an autograph for my seemingly 'friend' Peggy... Oh he's so much fun. I told him I was Flame. He shook my hand, told me I was a good friend. I handwrite a letter from Val to him. He was like: oooh, this is my letter from Val. He laughed. I laughed. My mother was concerned I was like handing him a bomb from a girl off the internet. *rolls eyes*
*giggles* Oooooh I can't wait to meet him, I hope he knows who I am.
Typos..
When I told him I was Flame he said: Ah.. See we're like all friends.
He knew me- I think.
*grins*
I hope he can read my hand writing. It's terrible.
Shoot! I g2g- bye!!
*hugs all*
Wheee!
I don't suppose it's as bad as mine. Mine's trying to be Victorian elegant but not quite getting there
Bye Flame. We're still good for Saturday I hope...
Lol! You're stupidly lucky!!! Derek's awesome!! I need to meet him...
I feel your pain Flame I got my elbow fractured but it wasn't visibly fractured until it had set and had to be re-set.
Bye Flame! My handwriting is large and messy. every other girl I know have small and dainty with curly ms and fancy Is
I did that too. I thought I'd fractured a finger but the x-ray said it wasn't. So I played about four hours of netball afterwards. Then the next day I get a phone call. Oh and by the way TWO of your fingers are fractured.
Mines large and messy..
G2g! Bye!
Mine varies from sentence to sentence really?
Bye Flame
Bye again Flame!
Arg Robin! I broke a finger and multiple knuckles punching a wall and a frozen tetherball. I've broke 4 items of my body... So far...
D'you have to wear them stupid skirts when you play netball??? Thats why I despise the sport.
Oh I never mentioned the best part of today!
They gave out goody bags with a free book in them, two book marks and an Anthony Horowitz oblivion t-shirt...
I got an unproofed copy of Black Spring by Anna Groogin or something.
And Department 19- fancy my luck :D
I've broken my fingers four times playing netball but that's it.
Cool Flame!
FLAME IM ABOUT TO BUY THE NEXT TICKET TO IRELAND AND HUNT YOU DOWN UNTIL I FIND YOU THEN DISGUISE MYSELF AS YOU AND STEAL YOUR LIFE AND MEMORIES!!!!! *sobs* psychotic rant over with for the time being.
Happy midnight!!!!
Midnight.
Ive wanted department 19 for a loooong time!
Now, really, bye!
LOL bye!
Bye Flame!! It's been good seeing you!!
What bones have you broken and how then Rim?
Knuckles, fingers punching a wall and a frozen tetherball.
Wrist - my friend jumped on me and my knee gave way and I fell on it. I had to get a knee brace but that wasn't te focus point.
Elbow - playing football and someone tackled my knee and I fell on it.
I'm not clumsy just good at geting tripped up.
Do you play for county netball?? or a school or something?
LOL Netball taught me how to avoid falling over and getting tripped up. It also taught me how to trip/elbow/scratch people up without getting caught.
Oh God, no way could I play county. It's like regional. So like a few towns Junior league.
Int knee is my weak spot... And Krav Maga taught me how to break peoples bones without hesitation so we're even with the cheating :D
I think you might've trumped me on that one *winks* I always wanted to do martial arts. My mother thinks it's barbaric and so won't let me.
Ah fair enough! Are you from lancashire? Is that you or someone else im thinking of?
My mum has me boxing and playing the drum kit so I'll fit in with the male world when I'm older. She thinks I'd fit in with the mosh crowd rather than the girly shoppers so I've gotta be prepared...
Not me, I'm from the opposite side of England. In Kent. Where abouts do you live?
Fair enough. I think I fit in better with the guys but my mother's having none of it.
Right. The peak district. Derby? Doesn't have much but history going for it.
Your mums like my dad then. But he enjoys me riding with him too much so he cant complain.
Derby *raises eyebrows* Like where Nottingham is right?
I'm impressed with my own geography.
I thought you were gonna say something like "My cousins live there" or somethin :D my geographys appalling! I used to think that Kent was near Yorkshire and Lincoln...
Ah, no. LOL. I gotta go Rim!
Bye!! It's been more than awesome talking to you again!!! Bye!!! *hugs*
Hi guys!
Don't even get me started on Valduggery...
So, no ones here. Ah well.
Please someone talk to me. I'm bored.
*pops in to amuse Kestrel*
I AM THE DUCKTORRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! THE MAMSTER AND I TRAVERSE THE UNIVERSE!!!!!'
WOOOOOOO
*flies off in her TARDIS with Gep*
*poofs away again*
Um.... Thanks? I guess. That spoiler post is calling to me...
Derek Derek Derek...what can I say? It was Em's reflection...and uhm...
*explodes Ireland*
Derek, just be warned, if you end up going off on me in a Blog post I probably deserve it so, have fun!
That would be fun to read... Why did you kill Em's reflection?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3Y4dM_cjmA&feature=plcp

He wasn't angry, Zaf, he was joking around, but that was hilarious! XD

But that feeling is often confused with my desire to KILL YOU ALL!!! so I might be mistaken.
I shall sleep on it. I need the rest anyway!
knight knight.

Anyway, Lav says she might come back for a day or so between the 2nd and the 5th of this September!!!! :D

Hi!
Derek is probably one of the most awesome person in the world.
Yes! First!
I dedicate this page to Flame Phoenix! He gave Derek the invitation to my Skulduggery party! YAY!
I also dedicate to Derek! THANKS FOR BEING SO AWESOME! I really hope you can come to my party... Yes, I know the chance of that is really, really slim, but it's worth a try! And please put Flame in book 8! He deserves it!
And I dedicate to KOTW! When I get it, it will probably be one of the greatest moments in my life so far...
GTg
I will certainly be online tomorrow :)
Byeeee Valkyrie!
Byeeeeee Maya! *waves frantically*

The Ball!!!!!! Starts Saturday New Zealand time! Which is in about... 4.5 hours!!!!!!
Well, I'll be asleep then...
It'll be 9:00pm for me, but I will continue the next day. And probably the next day...
*it
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Waiting in my front room, just waiting with my dog (pebbles) until the post comes!!!!!! :D :D And there it shall be: my First Edition KOTW!!!!! Oh, and what's the ball everyones talking about. Don't tell me, you've all decided to make your own requirem (i can never spell it right) ball? If you have, I'm truely not alone, I have others with such a dedication to the golden god himself as me!!!! *tears up and smiles* If you havent, you all look pretty dedicated.
It's true, Amp! We're having a Requiem ball that starts in 4 hours!!! If you want to join in, have your fancy ball dress as your profile picture!
You still there, Eve? Because YAY for Lavender :D and also, Padmai isn't eternally young or anything, she is older than Anakin, but she was elected as queen pretty young and in the Phantom Menace she was newly elected, so let's say in the first one she was eighteen. Anakin was about eight . . . right? Does that make sense? So she was about a decade older.
Then Attack of the clones was set ten years later, so Anakin would be about eighteen and Padmai would be about twenty-eight. Revenge of the Sith was set a few years later, I guess, so Padmai would have been in her early thirties. That way isn't too young to get pregnant. And Anakin's only about a decade younger, plus he's very important and powerful so he's treated by everyone as being older than he is. Like, he's made the youngest ever member on the council in Revenge of the Sith.
And I actually watched Revenge of the Sith twicw yesterday . . . Once with my mum and my brother, once with my brother, my sister and my dad. :)
And I watched Attack of the Clones the day before yesterday . . . And The Phantom Menace two days before that . . . We borrowed the first three videos off friends of ours. We own the fourth own, but it's really old so we can't get it to fill the whole of our TV screen, and when we get the picture as big as we can it's slightly blurry; TV were smaller when it was made. :)
Shut me up NOW, or I'll never stop talking.
Test
DAMMIT!
Hi Star!
Hi Eve!
I think I'll do that thing where I'm reply every few seconds for a bit, then go distant, then come back and do every-few-seconds.
Anybody read the TimeRiders books?
Ahhhhh! I'm watching Amy's Choice on Doctor Who and it was written by someone named Simon Nye!
NYE!
SERIOUSLY????
And that's the episode that creeps me out, too!
Hello?
YAY! Ball tommorrow!
I shall try to be online 8am-ish NZ time. Unless my internet fails *glares at internet*
My creep friend is such a creep.
Hello!
Have you watched Pond life?
No. I REALLY want to. Is it good?
Wellllll THIS pretty much answers that

I really need to learn to make hyperlinks
Oh my God, WHAT?!
He looks so Matt Smith-y there!
If that makes sense
It does. It REALLY does.
It's so nice being around people who know what you're talking about. Like at lunch-time there was a fire-alarm (but no fire) so this guy in Dew's class went around going "The cloister bell THE END OF EVERYTHING!!"
And we were the only ones who understood.
NOooo I seem to have lost my dress for the ball.Cos I name files random names .Do you think I would be allowed to wear Hogwarts robes instead?
I still need to find a dress. wbd.
THe count Olaf website... It's gone
I am sad
Dress = Finished
What's your dress look like? I'm worried that mine's too posh.
I shall email you picture. Is that allowed? Probably...
Helena, if it's posh, it's GREAT!!!
Hey Eve!
I shall change my pic to blank just a sec...
YAY! Why blank pictures?
DId that work?
Umm well just cos.
Then we're all identical! Like Fred and GEorge
Still don't really understand...
Does Derek know about the Requiem Ball?
Bali Ha'i may call you,
Any night, any day,
In your heart, you'll hear it call you:
"Come away...Come away."
I has to go now :(
See you tommorrow!
Bye!
You don't have to have a blank picture, Maya ;) I was trying to test out my dress, but it's not working. I'll have to do it on the computer.
Oh, I can't wait to see what everyone is wearing!
You know what I'm wearing Romantic. ;)
I can e-mail you what I'm wearing Eve...
Eve, you know what I'm wearing.
No, Helena, I shall see it at the Ball!
New post!
Hi! When is the ball starting??
A huge thanks to Colleen for travelling to Dublin to meet Derek - you can check out her interview here:
http://www.inismagazine.ie/blog/entry/meeting-derek-landy
Hey Derek, I don't know if you'll read this but I met you in christchurch. I don't know if you remember me, I asked you advice for an aspiring author. I want to say that night was the best night ever. My Mum and Dad thought you were amazing. (Of course you are :-)) Mum even said afterwards that we should of taken you out for a beer. Haha, the advice you gave me was one of the best pieces of advice anyone has given me. It inspired me again and gave me the fire in my heart again that I hadn't realise I had lost. I stopped writing for myself and wrote what I thought others wanted. Thanks Derek so much, I can't express. Molly Goode
HHHHHEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY everyone!!!
Just a heads up- I won't be on until WAY later tonight... Just saying. BUT. I will be on later!!!!
*pops in out of nowhere*
Oh. Hey. I'm a live. Brilliant. I love it when I do that.
HELLLOOOOOO!!!!
I am a loner.
D:
NO ONE IS HERE.
But hi anyway :3
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.
Yaay, Skulplusherry!! Miss you, hope you're happy with Derek :D Watch a genius at work
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
PS.
Boop.

*Adra nods* We're not dying, Trip, *Her eyes narrow* Especially not before our daughter grows up. I'd murder you myself if you let her die whilst on your watch.

Hello by the way)
*He eyes the dagger before swiping a hand at it to brush it aside*
Adra, might I suggest currently that the best plan of action is that we should wait for that rather powerful looking dagger to save us?
I like that plan, it gets neither of us incinerated.
*She shushes Trip*
*Places her fingers against the armor of Erebus*
