For those of you who have read KOTW, you may remember the mention of a certain Ronda Rousey and her now-legendary armbars.
THIS is the type of woman I want my nieces to be like when they grow up.
And now I must go. I have a lot of work to do on my day off...

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 4869 Newer› Newest»Well I have to be sentimental in my old age.
I'm unfortunately what the term 'a responsible adult'
Whatever that means...
I shall be distant, writing and looking at old conversations I had, with one of my friends who is most likely getting sick of me.
Hi Lil, long time no see.
Okay Willow
What is one of them Em?
I have no idea Robin.
It's one of life's greatest mysteries.
Ye... long story, lightning struck the tree just outside my house, took out ALLOT of things including the internet took over a month to get a new one, then it wouldnt reach my room and wouldnt work properly and then teachers whent into super home work giving out mode. So ye....
Wow Lil talk about series of unfortunate events.
yip, spent the whole school holiday with out internet, tv, dvd player AND surround sound. Wasn't very happy.
I might disappear soon, warning
So what's everyone been up to?
I've been up to....meeting Derek! And then nothing :P
I'm going to meet Derek! And umm beating up my technology? Yourself?
UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dont think he'll ever come here. :(
I was going to meet Derek, but then school had to start the day before.
Thats not nice, shame! should have acted sick then snuck away! Hehehe!
Hehe. My brother told me to make a good impression, and after I'd met Derek, I asked my brother "Did I make a good impression?" he said, "Well, you definitely made an impression..."
:P
Nope, I'm a good little girl, I didn't miss a day of school for the past three years.
Lolz!
Sounds like my mom when youre goofing around with some thing she sais, "it does things for you, wont say what things though."
Wow,thats impressive, missed three weeks last year because my family decided that we'd go tour Europe, YIPPY!
I miss like three days a year on average
Think I missed the last few days of the first term to go spend time at my cousin
Would you guys mind checking out my flower and my wolves?
They're on my blog: http://lilie-emilysblog.blogspot.com/
They're amazing O.O
Okay, Lil
Thanks, the flower was for a painting competition.
I wish I could be as good an artist as you O.O
Thanks.
It took ALLOT of practice.
Wow they are awesome Lil.
Hmmm, I've been looking for an artist to interpret the characters from my story.
Would you be up for it Lil?
You don't have to, I can keep looking, just thought I would ask.
You could be...
I dont mind trying... I'm good at looking at a picture and painting from that.
But it sounds like fun.
Ignoring people is hard.
Why do you say that Willow?
The start of the new page I said ‘There's always hope, though.’, so guess what I’m dedicating to.
Yep, that’s right. Hope.
Earlier today, I was ready to give up on everything a few times…I thought I lost all hope in everything. I wasn’t sure what to do, or who to turn to. Recently, I’ve not been exactly…myself. I’ve not been sure of what to do or say. It has triggered a lot of memories…Few of them good. Memories of before Skulduggery Pleasant…Memories of before I had any hope and I lost faith in everything. I’m not religious, so I didn’t have anything like that to turn to. I had no friends to turn to. Teachers were more bothered about my grades than my wellbeing; since my grades were some of the best they’d ever seen no-one saw any cause for concern. My parents were busy with my brother, as usual, with him being autistic I tend to get ignored or insulted. I lost hope that things would get better, especially when it was that month in hospital…Nothing seemed to be going right for me. I’d lost so much…
Nothing anyone could do would restore my hope that things would get better. The doctors only seemed to bring bad news…I was left watching patients, that soon became friends, dying in front of me…
I remember this one girl, she was so sweet, she and I used to smile and laugh at each-other and sometimes even talk to each-other through notes. She was my age, too. She was almost as ill as I was, but when she smiled I seemed to remember the feeling of warmth again…That’s when I first felt that maybe there is hope…A little while after I was moved to another hospital. I manage to talk and type, but that was all I could do then. But, they finally got me in for an operation…The chances of my survival had doubled; they said they didn’t think I would have made it. They said I must’ve had something that kept my mind here, something keeping me here. I could’ve died in that operating theatre, but I think I know why I didn’t…That hope that the young girl gave me made me hold on…I was alive, against all odds.
A month or two after, when they took me off tablets I had to visit the doctors to get my stitches taken out of my chest. I saw that girl for one last time. I saw that girl and her mum, like I was with my mum. She gave me hope, my mum and hers exchanged a few words and me and the girl just talked and laughed. I found friendship and I found hope. She gave me the will to go on in life…
A couple of years on, I found myself with a best friend…She and I became friends so fast and we’re still friends today, but I found out that she was terminally ill…she has a cancerous tumour in her leg. I was back to lacking hope. The only person I found that liked me for me could be dying…This time; I didn’t know how to react. I ended up locking myself in my bedroom for a couple of days and just crying. I didn’t know what to say…I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know who to talk to.
Then, I found you guys. I found the best people in this damned world. I’d been a fan since the first book was released, but I never knew of the fandom. I didn’t know how amazing you guys are. I found that, even in the darkest of times that someone will be there for me and someone can help me through it. You guys never leave me to try to sort things out on my own. There’s always one of you that’s here for me.
When some of my supposed friends betrayed my trust, I had you guys here to show me what trust really is and how precious it truly is. When I don’t know what to do or where to turn, there’s always one of you there for me…Smiling at me, telling me it’ll all be okay. Giving me hope…
Even recently, when things seem to have gotten even worse…Even when I’ve wanted to give up more than anything…Hellboy and Derek gave me the hope that I needed to carry on…They gave me hope. This hope will be there for me when I need it the most. When I just want to give in, I won’t. Not anymore, I can look at that picture and say ‘I can’t let you down, not now. You’ve done do much for me and the hope you’ve given me is immense…I’m going to carry on, just for you. Just so one day I can see you in real life and hug you and say thanks a million times over.’
Leading on from this, I’d like to dedicate to Derek…When Hellboy Facebooked me what Derek and HB had done, when I saw that picture…My life changed.
Derek, if you’re reading this- you’ve changed my life. You’re one of the most amazing people I have ever known, even if I haven’t met you. I can’t believe you agreed to Hellboy’s idea, it was amazing though. By writing the Skulduggery Pleasant books, you’ve actually saved so many people’s lives and so many people from themselves. Derek, you’ve brought together so many people. I’ll never be able to thank you enough for everything you have done for me, alone. I have some of the greatest friends I could have ever wanted and I’ve learnt to love. I’ve learnt to be happy, all because of the few words that started it all… ‘Gordon Edgley’s sudden death came as a shock to everyone – not least himself’. Thank you for everything, Derek, you’re really something special. I hope that I can one day meet you and tell you all of this in person. But, I guess, typing it here and hoping that you’ll see it will have to do…Well, Golden God, I think I understand why you’re called the Golden God…You’ve a heart of gold and you’re how I’d imagine any God would be – perfect and a hero…You’re truly an inspiration. Even when the books have finished, this will always be my favourite book series and you’ll always be my favourite author, idol and friend…I promise to be brave for everyone in this fandom…
And now, if you don’t mind, I’ll go embrace my inner lunatic, I hear fun times are guaranteed…*climbs out the window*
1,099 words long...
Uhm...That's a long dedication...
That's cool Lil! Cheers.

hello gemma
Hiya Gemma! I know you!
Horses creep me out.
how do horses creep you out
They just do. I don't like 'em. They have big teeth and they bite. They're big and creepy and fast and easily spooked.
...Depends on the horse.
okay :( ive never seen horses with really big teeth but my dads a vet so i have seen some pretty disturbing horse seens and if you dont want to spook them dont walk up behind them
Mine are lazy, greedy, to lazy to spook at some thing, and fun to gallop up the farm road at break neck speed... to get the rest of their food.
I don't like them at all. I won't feed a horse out of my hand.
what type of horses are they
...I sit underneeth mine, slide down their backs and sit on them in the stayble.
They're Nooitgedachts.
I think I got the spelling right...
well never mind about feeding them with your hand my dad has put his hand in some sick places nough said
I'm going to watch a film, now. Talk to you guys later! *hugs everyone*
You're all perfect, okay! <3

well im mostly preparing to go into secondary school ( im irish )
For some reason Im seeing bubbles every where, BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that reminds me of a joke have you seen a psychiatrist, no just buubles
Which part is secondary?
oh well in ireland you go to primary school till you are around twelve then you go to secondary school for 6 years then you go to college
How many years is that in total?
well thats around 14 years in school excluding college
one of the annoying things is most of the secondary schools are boys or girls only i wont be in school with girls till i go to college
Longer then ours:
3 years primary school
4 years middle School
5 years high school
i never got why they had middle school why not just split it between high school and primary
I don't know ether, who does?
see ya inn ten minutes
kk!
Anyone else on?
Hey peep's... I believe I have figured out a way to get the remnant out of Tanith's body. And my startling revelation is.......................................(it's very dramatic, but astoundingly simple...)..............
Get Tanith on the Dullahan's Coach-a-Bowers. Told you it was simple. Theoretically the Remnant would die, because Tanith dies, but once she returns to the land of the living, she's alive again. Minus the Remnant.
Cool Idea!
Hi! *Hugs*
How are you?
iam back
Welcome Back! *Hugs*
brilliant sollution you should get the grouse prize ( its like the nobel prize but in honour of kenspeckle grouse
...What if we loose tanith and keep the reminant...
does anyone know dereks email address so we can get this information to him
well obviously theyll be some discussion scene between skulduggery ghastly and someone like doctor nye
I dont have it, does any one?
If someone does, can you also give him the idea of coming to South Africa?
Definitely!
when does kotw come out in south africa
Usully long after it comes out everywhere else, I order it on line, comes after a few weeks.
lol i missed the conversation about hourses, oh well :P
its coming out in ireland in ten days i cant wait
U can chat with me about horses...
...But that one was kinda funny.
It better come out sooner than that.
ive got it! ha! in your face! i got it 10 days eary. i got it in whsmith in scotland woooooooop! on chapter 6! its a bid book xD
*Grumbles* Unfair!
Wonder if Im still the only South African on the blog?
big* hi flame! *waves*
Hi Flame! *Hugs*
Anyone wanna send me an eary coppy?
*Puppy dog eyes*
i dont know. gemma how did you find out it was out in whsmith derek said something about early releases but i couldnt find them on facebook
I'll only get it late september, early august....
...UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what do you mean early august
i didn't really find out about it... i was in braehead and i saw it and my jaw almost fell off! i grabbed it and ran to my mum but my nana had a sore back and we went home, yesterday i was in paisley, saw it in another whsmith shop and there was only one so i woulfnt let anyone touch it. went home to find my mum holding kotw and i grabbed it out her hands shouted "thank you!!!!" and ran to my room :3
I rang three bookshops looking for it today,
They said no it won't be in until September.
I'm going to slay Derek's publishers realeasing that book stupidly.
flame where do you live
Woops, Early October, sorry.
Ireland.
flame im just gonna go to kilkenny for the signing theyll have to sell it then :)
Excuse me for a minute, I've gotta ga yell at somebody.
did anoyone read my awsome story of getting kotw? it took time to write you know xD
i read it and sadly it doesnt provide a climax to my story of getting kotw
No... Link please!
But I want to read before I go, like to actually talk to Derek this year instead of nodding at everything
he said.
what part of ireland do you live in because the bookstores in the tour will definitely stock it
Did you get it, Eden?
i got a special picture with derek because i was from his blog :D happiest day of my life! it is now and always will be my msn profile picture :) i had so much to ask him but i asked him why he chose the 1945 r-tye continental bently for skulduggery's car :)
I live in Offaly.
With no Easons.
no but im probably gonna end up with two copies when i do cause my brother wants one too and hes short on cash
Speacial Picture?
Ye,ye,ye.
lucky!
And UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And, can you perhaps talk to him to come to South Africa if you're gonna see him?
i live in wexford we dont have an easons either we only have a bookcenter
Oh ok
ye tehe, everyone else had to put their elbows on the table next to him but Derek got up and put his arm around me xx :D
i will mention that to him when i see him in kilkenny
If I get a chance.
And Gemma what was his answer?
A bookcenter?! I want one!
The nearest bookshop is a small bookshop two towns over. It never has the books you want.
Then there's an Easons 45 minutes away in Athlone in Westmeath.
and i will mention how he should release the book every where regardless of where hes on tour
Hi*Hugs*
Val I'm going to ask Derek to go to your party, for you on the 30th!
hi val
Really? Thank you Flame! *hugs, then throws him off a building*
Hi Lilie! Hi Eden!
We've got a small bookshop in town,other wise its a 2 hour drive to pretoria or joburg
flame you should go to the signing in kilkenny so we can both ask him
1st
I'm going to Dublin signing on O'connell street.
The fan event
Where I might meet Emerald....
*Whimpers*
Lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*lands heavily, then attacks Val*
Hey all.
Hey Kom-odo
Hi!*Hugs*
Yay! First!
I dedicate this page to all the lucky people who gets to meet Derek because I'm incredibly jealous, Sparky for giving him my letter, Flame for telling him to go to my party, and the hope that Derek will go to my party.
(I know that last one's a long shot, but hey? It's worth a try)
Ivy. Mind if I call you ivy? Course you do. Ivy, did you get my email?
hey komodo val not as much of a long shot compared to some of the things i waant him to do
well Derek said...that he had a model of the car when he was younger and because skulduggery was classy, he needed a classy car. thats how Derek knew there was only 208 models of that car :)
I'm going to ask Derek did Gordon have a taken name, and if he did what would it be?
And I want to ask him if he'll write more books. And if he says he mightnt, I'll be like. Don't turn out like J.K Rowling.
She wasted five years where she could have published books D:
Derek should publish all the first drafts of his books.
That'd be interesting.
