Everyone has birthdays. These birthdays are celebrated. Sometimes there are parties. These things happen. These things are normal.
Some other people have birthdays that are celebrated in their absence, halfway around the world, by people they have never actually met. These things are definitely not normal. But these things happen to me.
My Minions, for your amusement, I provide for you a select few photos taken at the party organised by regular Minion commenter and general online-stalker, Valkyrie V Cain.
Billy-Ray Sanguine (in a lovely checked shirt tied off at the midriff... um...) and a seriously disturbed looking Tanith.
Melancholia, looking AWESOME.
Solomon Wreath, being his/her generally aloof self.
Kitana, kicking the hell out of poor Valkyrie...
... and looking pretty smug about it, too.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you one Nefarian Serpine, he/she of the red right hand...
... and poor China Sorrows, who has no idea what is about to happen.
Argeddion. Looking VERY pleased with himself.
You may be forgiven for wondering who is this long-haired person who is trying to woo Valkyrie, but then you will realise- it's Caelan. OBVIOUSLY.
A wonderful time had by all...
... and even I attended! (Sort of.)
And two photos to end things off. One... just because I think her facial expression is hilarious...
And the final photo of Valkyrie V Cain herself. All these photos have made me grin so much I think I've broken my face. Thank you Valkyrie, and thanks to all your (admittedly insane) friends...!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 4632 Newer› Newest»Omg! I want to go see that, because my friend said it was amazing! I'm probably not going to get the chance, but meh.
Star! I'm going to read more of Artemis Fowl today. I promise. I swear I'll try as hard as possible to get that book in front of me.
1st comment.
Right,
I dedicate this page to Derek for just being Epic.
I also dedicate to the 3 SP book in the mail on the way to me.
To all the minions. You are all brilliant and Awesome!
I also dedicate to cookies because cookies are epic!
But mostly to Derek for without him we wouldn't have the best book series in the world or this blog with the Epic Community.
Thank you Derek!!
Why Am I double commenting?!
What is this Black Magic?!
*laughs* THANKS!!!! :) Sorry, I'll be quoting all the way through this book . . . I'm laughing out loud already and the funny part hasn't staryed yet. :/ This book is the funniest one in the series. :) Number seven.
My bookcase is even sexier than it was this morning. *nods*
And it can only get sexier. (':
OOH. RAISON D'ÉTRE POPPED UP! YAY! DIDN'T KNOW THAT PHRASE WAA IN HERE. :/
Luciana, I didn't know bookcases could look sexy, but hey, you learn something new everyday :)
I shall now tell my bookcase it's sexy everytime I get up in the morning.
Funny how I actually remember what Raison D'Etre means, even though there are some words that are go over a billion times in French lessons and still forget..
*is going red in the face from laughing* OH, LOL. I LOVE THIS BOOK. I LITERALLY LAUGH MORE EVERY TIME I READ IT.
Im going to give entertainment in an hour and half, my friends who are all Minions coming over for, Halloween/ A Very Late Celebration of Derek's Birthday
Sorry its gonna be, 10 days late but....well...BLAME THE WEATHER *nods* ill force Marissa into pictures :)
I love the few pages around the raison d'être part in SP. :)
I'm astonished I didn't notice it on the first five times I read this AF book.
Hey Zaf!!
*hugs*
How're you??
Im good!
*hugs* im actually gonna go get dressed
Oh and instead of cake (mom would murder me 5 teenage girls high off sugar) we're having Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and a video or pictures of what happens when 5 girls try the beans, assured to be funny
I actually couldn't breathe for laughing there. :)
Bye everyone got to watch DW and eat taquitos!!!

Finally Trick or Treating tonight
Oh, HI, Adra! Sorry, didn't realise it was you, because you changed your name . . . I don't read the names to findout who it is, I use the blurry images in the edge of my vision to grasp the general shape of the names and first letter and use that for identification. Often I think that Luciana is Lynxia or summat. :/
LOL... I trick or treated in the rain... As a zombie. (as seen in my profile pic*
not just any zombie...
A, uh... Dedicated. Zombie.
'Squicker'n reading, y'see.
Mine is the only Jekyll and Hyde one xD
The changed profile pic didn't help either. :P
You're really pretty, btw.
SSTTTTTTAAAAAARRRRRRRRR *tackle hugs* M'DEAR. HOW ART THOUIST DOING???
Trol.
Yeah, Zaf, you're weird xD
SSTTTTTTAAAAAARRRRRRRRR *tackle hugs* M'DEAR. HOW ART THOUIST DOING???
Trol.
Yeah, Zaf, you're weird xD
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhh
You say Jekyll and Hyde, I think the song Sacrafice. XD
I can't help it.
*throws Adra in lake*
but so are you cuz you a Minion just like me
OHMILANDY ZAF GUESS WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL!!!
NOTHING. IT WAS EMPTY. AGAIN.
*sings* In a moment
You will see my other side
When I'm confronted
My demeanor turns from Jekyll into Hyde
Hell has broken free tonight
No pale deception anymore
You awoke him, now he will feed on the lies
He demands your sacrafice.
*throws in volcano*
i swear if you got that book BACK then ill cry! I sent that letter in June :/ still not sure if Derek got it. Damned U.S Postal Service
*laughs* :(
I sent MY letter in June...
Yeah. I know.
*jumps up and down in anticipation* C'mon DB. GET HERE ALREADY.
I KNOW NJ RIGHT?
Referring to her earlier comment.
*gasp*
FLAMEEEEEEEEEEE *tackles* ITS BEEN AGES
And by that, I mean, like, a month
HELLO FLAME!
Least you know he got it. Imagine my anticipation....:/
*paces*
i still wonder i mean we ARE epic
And modest, Zaf. Never forget modest... LOL
*nods*
but the anticipation kills me!!!! I been stalking me mailbox
*gasp* ME TOO! Even on the rainy days... One time when I was waiting for Mortal Coil, I saw the postman come up, and the moment he was gone I slipped on the ice and fell. I had a huge arse bruise on my arm for WEEKS.
Unfortunately, it didn't even COME that day
Oh last year at this time i started the books. I had to wait til few days after Christmas to get the books to borrow, getting my own copies of DD MC DB TEOTW TFO and KOTW was agony. DD was the one they cancelled on me
I pre-ordered KOTW and as you know it dind't come for MONTHS.
I got it from a different website and it came in a week. *facepalm*
And I began to read in... 5th grade??? So 4 years ago... It was grand.
8th grade. I was sooooooo happy. I was like so crazy, Vinette firced me (litterally) to read Scepter of The Ancients, I was like....oooh a death in the first sentence I like this
LOL.... OOH. I just finished scarves 3 and 4... WOrking on 5 and 6! WOOHOO
Sorry for the interruption.
But yeah. I'm going to have to flipping move to Ireland
I'll live in my castle. TIPPERARY FTW
Lol!!! Im begging to go to Ireland for my graduation present. Actually if by 2016 Derek doesnt have a tour here in America im gonna beg to either go to a signing in England or Ireland. Thats how badly i wanna meet him
I'm trying to convince my mom let let me go there in 2014... And I will go to a Derek-signing for the last book. :O
I get to order another SP book, tomorrow! Yay:3
Hello?
Merlin was AMAZING.
Holy God, Luce xD
And when that arrives I'll have at least 42. Then when it's my birthday I get more. And I might get some more for Xmas from my grandparents if they don't give me ALL of the books they've ordered me for my birthday:3
So, I might be able to reach my target of 50 books by the end of the year. XD
*facepalm*
Yeah. You may have a book issue dear. LOL. You're obsessive over it xD but that's awesome at the same time.
I have an obsessive issue too, I just don't have any money to add more to my 28 books.
I have... 13.
I didn't watch Merlin tonight. My sister's sleepover. We're watching it tomorrow.
*grins* I obsess over things... Like bags. And skulls. And, more recently, Hunger Games.
And lots of other things that I'm too lazy to list xD
WTF. BAGS?????
Good lord.
I obsess over my book, SP, Mortal Instruments... Knitting, Crocheting, horsebackriding, Ireland, Scotland... Starkid, Vampire Diaries, Glee, and like, 80 other things
VAL, I SAW A RED KOTW EARLIER.
I ALMOST BOUGHT IT, BUT IT HAD A HUGE TEAR DOWN THE SPINE. :c
I need my US editions of the SP books... I DON'T WANNA WAIT. D:
Merlin was awesome, Star. I almost cried. :P
*screams*
Mortal Instruments movie... I still can't believe it.
Speaking of which... DISNEY? BUYING STAR WARS? THREE MOVIES?
This will SUCK,
AHHHH! I WANT A RED ONE!
I must buy one in Ireland, I must, I MUST!
Yes, bags. *nods*
I have loads of bags.
And I'm getting another for my birthday! It has a skull on it:3
I had a party for Dereks birthday and on-one came. I even made invitations with little skulls and flames.
*dribbles tears of loneliness*
They just don't appreciate the Golden God as much as WE do.
If I see one, Val, I'll buy it you if you like.
And only because of drunk Skulduggery. :D
Can you get me one, too Luce?
I've been thinking that why are Jedward representing Ireland in Eurovision, when we have DEREK?!
I'm sure he could write a good song about skeletons with hats.
That'd win.
Derek, enter Eurovision for Ireland. Like, now.
If I find one, yeah, Adra.
I'm searching for a red covered KotW! Every time I go out I look for one. c:
That's the first one I've seen in the past two months.. other than the one I own, that is.
I obsess over SP and Artemis Fowl and Gone and this blog and Cassandra Clare's books.
At different time, though.
Colleen- Two words. Derek's Minions. They're the Chameleon Circuit to SP.
STAR. HAVE YOU READ CITY OF LOST SOULS
*times
YES I HAVE ADRA. 'TIS AMAZIGGLE.
I actually thought Sebastian was good. Proves once again that I am way too trusting and empathic. XD
In The Inheritance Cycle when Galbatorix gave his speech to Oromis, he totally convinced me. I believed he had been the good guy all along and that everybody was mistaken. When Oromis started being defiant right after I was like, "Huh?" before the penny dropped and I realised he'd been lying. XD
LOL Good job, Star...
Yeah. I hate Sebastian. LOL. CLACE FTMFW. AND MALEC.
I <3 Neil Gaiman
Poor broken up Malec. :(
And I was just thinking how everybody was happily paired up as well. :)
Have you read The Infernal Devices?
I'm on CA right now... But I'm simultaneously reading Huckleberry Finn and The mark of Athena so...
BTW, there is an exclusive interview about backstage of City of Bones... I think though only Americans can watch it. The link didn't work for NJ
Hah xD
ANYWAY. I have to go, you know, type. xD
OH MY GOSH I MIGHT GET TO PAINT A TARDIS ON MY WALL
Wow. just wow.
(birthday PartY, Derek.)
And I just found out who Argeddion and Kitana are....
Derek Landy: I have a question! Do you type Skulduggery's name every time it appears, in full length?
DEREK! I have another question: Are there magical Canadian's? If so, do they have a government, or are they savage, moose hunting maniacs?
DEREK!... Thanks! I was reading Kingdom of the Wicked all day. More like for two to three hours, but by that I mean in my free time I was busy reading your book. YOUR BOOK. I am a very slow reader.
Hi! My friends say hi. Even though they don't read SP. :(
And, bye.
Hello.
Hello.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*sticks tongue out*
Heeeeeelo?
This is actually amazing!
Party of the century!
X
This is actually SO AMAZING!.
I just watched series one episode one of Sherlock with my mum and dad in the kitchen whilst my sis and her friends watched a movie in the living room. :)
Never seen Sherlock before now. So far, i'm lovin' it. Sherlock is like a cross between the Doctor and Artemis. :)
Oh yeah, and I forgot my important news - I POSTED!!! inkystar.blogspot.com and don't forget the critisism!
Please. :)
What did you forget to say Star? You know the magic word
HI NIX!!!!!
This is Strange. I only usualky talk to Aussies at morning time or afternoon if they stay up late. :/
Maybe I should start staying up late.
And OF COURSE I know the magic word. *points wand at bunny* ABRACADABRA! *bunny bunnycopies itself* See?
I AM SICK OF MY INTERNET MALFUNCTIONING.
Msd. Csgd.

Let's hope no one decides to copy her just to get on Derek's blog. :P
Good job, Valereno!

We were doing a Halloween/Belated Ceoebration. I mean if i could FEEL mu hands i would have taken pictures but my hands were frozen and numb :/

Hey guys.
Hi Eden
Will Be Distant
Hey Nix hey Zaf.
Sup?
Oops, *,
Nothing really, it was my little brothers birthday party yesterday ( around two hours ago).
It's his actual birthday today.
Aaah ok. Sounds fun
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought when I was dragged into a ball pit with six seven year olds and forced to sit there and getting hit in the face with plastic projectiles.
I so wish I was a jumper.
I also started to learn java programming.
*get
Java programming is cool
I'm just starting out,
As in I'm getting the hang of System.out.println.
And using scanners so people can type in their age and you can tell them if their old enough to drink.
I have to go.
:D
Congratulations Val for geting your party posted on Derek's blog!!!
Derek you must have wished you where actulay there, and not your replacement!
Bye Thrust, hey misti.
Will be distant.
Bye Thrust
Hi Eden!
... yea i migh be distant to!
but how are u?
Fine.
( see above for more)
Oh the party! LOL
yea you seem to be having a great time!
... do you want to read part of a story that i'm wrighting!
http://mistical-future.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/the-kingdoms-of-magic-part-01.html
It's not SP related but it's short! ... but not finished
http://inkystar.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/new-story.html?m=1
Guys, read this!
Gaah we switch our clocks back an hour so its...uhm
Yeah, I know! It's so awesome, cuz it's about to be 11 again
Hi! I'm back!
sorry i left to have lunch!
I would've went. If I lived in America.
The small fact that I live on the other side of the world complicated things slighty.
But it looks EPIC.
Nice one Val ;) not every day you get a post souly about YOU (well, and dereks birthday too.....)
Oh, and so far, (from what ive SEEN) Nobody has mentioned that
23rd of October is Skulduggerys Death Day too. Just saying.
p.s And Derek, I dont even know if you read the comments these days...
but happy birthday. Your day of birth is DEFINITELY something to be celebrated.
I dont know where i'd be without you.
Well, actually, i'd probably just be checking my emails or something. But my point IS thanks for, you know, existing and stuff. You inspire me, make me laugh when nothing else will, over and over again.
From what I can tell, having another person tell you your awesome probably isnt good for you. But you are awesome.
Thanks for being awesome, and existing, and not being run over by cars and dying, and inspiring new writers, and making us all laugh, giving us girls (finally)something that isnt pink and fluffy to obsess over.
So yeah. Thanks and stuff - Happy Birthday.
(AND DEATH DAY SKULDUGGERY)
If I do say so myself, I thought that was pretty good. Took me FOREVER to type too.
Its probably kind of sad that im talking to myself now. But NO ONE else is on when I am. EVER.
The curse of living in a tiny (but awesome) country with no near countries (apart from Aussie which doesnt count) to share our time zone.....
Meh.
I thought it was amazing.
Hi Calidae Dark!
sorry just doing and assingment so i migh be on and off!
But HI!
How are you? *shakes hand* i don't think we have met befor?
Nope, We has not met before :)
Hi.
Have a Valsnack.
They're relatively new.
Oh, and hey Thrust :)
I have an assingment too. Half finnished. Due two days ago.
But GOD its BORING!!
Dark, I mentioned that it was Skul's death day too :)
http://bringingskulduggerytothemasses.blogspot.com/2012/10/skulduggerys-deathdaydereks-birthday.html
I love how Derek says "A little post", meanwhile there's fourteen photos in it. And the post is certainly not counted little by me.
Derek's so awesome :D
Hi Val!
How are u?
and Dae ... can i call u Dae? yea anyway my assingments are boring to! on is due on wednsday and a draft for anothing is due on friday
But my mum wants them both finished TODAY!!! ... the draft on is half done and the other is almost finished ... i think?
Tehe Dae i LOVE the "Keep calm the Bently is comming" LOL LOVE IT!!!!!!
:)
Im not great at posting things on my blogs regularly. Its like keeping a diary (which i've tried a few times, and failed miserably). I just can never find time for it, despite the fact I have been sitting at my computer bored for half the day.
And Val - thats good, I thought everyone had forgotten or something. I hadnt SEEN anyone mention it. BUt I dont have all seeing eyes or anything - that would be wierd.
And course you can call me Dae.
Im called lots of things. Including, from one person, wierdo (brothers...)but yeah. Anyway. What was I saying?
Keep calm and eat cake?
:P
Yum. Now Im craving cake.
LOL
*gives Dae cake*
here have some cake!
Poor death :(
But my pain is worse than phisical pain.
My teachers are forcing me to write an essay on the MOST BORING THING EVER!!!
And it was due two days ago, and im worse than dead....
oh well. I'll live.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, I do need to go, sadly for me. To write said essay.
Poor, poor me. I feel incredibly sorry for myself.
Oh well.
Bye...
* sulks out, depressed, awaiting doom and seemingly eternal bordom, worse than those dememtors seemingly endless unhappiness. Bordom is SO worse. *
Sorry i keep disapering!!! Anying assingments!!!
Hi Death!
Bye Dae I hope you can force yourself to get it done!!!
Anyone else see a possible trend forming for next year? Landys birthday, international holiday?
Hi. If anyone is here, I am back.
And very pleased with myself
* nods * I've finnished my essay. Woohoo!!!!
And in my world, Derek Landys birthday is an international holiday.
Sadly the earth does not share the same view.
But you are SO right. It should.
Nice meeting you Mistical :)
Hi Dae
Congeatulations of finishing ur asingment!!!
