The Irish Book Awards were held last night in Dublin and the last Artemis Fowl book beat out KOTW to emerge triumphant, giving Eoin Colfer a much deserved win. He went on the make the funniest speech of the evening while wearing the most dashing cravat I've ever seen on a real life person. Big congratulations to Eoin.
A few other people also won for, like, other categories- including Katie Taylor in the Best Sports Book. I really really really wanted to meet her and she was RIGHT THERE in front of me but then I was called away for a photo, and then there were a few people who wanted napkins signed, and when I looked around again she was gone. Dammit. I always thought she looked so petite on screen, but in person she is physically IMPRESSIVE. Here she is with Cecelia Ahern- one of my top two favourite writer-type-people that I know.
It was a fun night- it always is- but very well behaved and restrained when compared to last year. Ah, last year... what fond, fond memories I have...
My editor Nick came over for it, so we were chatting about the Tanith novella and he reckons it needs only the barest of edits. What does that mean for you guys? It basically means it'll stay at around the 54,000 word mark and I won't have to cut anything out. Apart from, apparently, all those mentions of Tanith in a bikini. I sincerely don't see the problem. It's not like I have her running around nekkid or anything.
Ooh, maybe I should...

well i suppose theres only one thing that I can do now - ramble!
*twidles thumbs back and forth*
dum de dum de dum...
its a shame that if I start playing with fire (he he he thats a cleverly placed pun) then no one can stop me or protest... it takes all the fun out of it :(
I thought being unwell would be good but its starting to become rubbish. *mutters random words under breath*
hello...HELLO...hElLo...HeLlO... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
rattatatatatatta darumdumdarumdum
hey hey whats fluffy, white and a rabbit
answer - a stupidly thought out joke
Im too funny ... he he he
I tried acting again, it worked out pretty good and if you dont believe me ask my mum whats wrong with me... he he he *laughs evily* no but all seriousness aside I am unwell but I extended or exadurated my symtoms a tad ...
just a tad...
no Im not a bad person but I was talking to my friends last night and they didnt realise I was acting until I told them - they believed everything I said...
ohhhhhhhhhh godddddddddddddd, I just sneezed and coughed at the same time twice - TWICE.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo............................................................................................................................................
hey derek, derek pssssssst derek, if your there can you talk to me please - please?
its normally about now that someone comes on and ends my nightmare...
hey has anyone played assasins creed, I have its good... OR, or black ops... I have... or skyrim...or minecraft...or DC universe online... or does anyone have a PS3...or a nintendo (any kind I have them all...) or a lego game of any kind that you play on a PS3 or Xbox... or a WII... or multiple other games/gaming devices theres too many for me to list...
yeah Im a big gamer, and its weird because I dont know any other girls that are like me in that way...my friends kinda are but they are lets say normal and they dont play games or watch the type of movies I do or anything...its a lonely world and the saddest thing about it is , is that I have better scores and better characters that are of a higher level than the majority of the boys that I go to school with...
they all hate me for that... plus a lot of them play golf (not properly like me ) and I kinda lowered their self esteem when they found out I have a lower handicap than them... and then I got called posh. NO.
they thought just because Im smart, play golf, wear cardigans and I am very literate that Im posh, wait... NO I AM NOT POSH.
I am just ... hmmm let me get back to you on that one...

im eating a chocolate bourbon :)
*NEARLY
*zombies voice* BOUR-BONS . . . *salivates*
aww I droped it :( *sets crumpled bourbon on fire*
Today in form time the girl who's kinda half my friend was talking to the teacher and she stammered slightly and said "I-I" in a sentence and I remembered Gone and started saying "I-I-I" before I realised that pointing it out would probably make me seem really mean. :/
GONE IS INFECTING ME. AND THE INFECTION MUST DIE! *starts singing Infection*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOURBONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dropped the bourbon, set it on fire, then I froze it and picked up the frozen ashes then then threw it out the window.
Im trying to convince my mum to buy me a lord of the rings ring... its not going so well
D: THE POOR BOURBON.
well now the bourbon is stuck in the wet muddy grass that is located in my back garden :)
Hello...?
FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
*sobs for the poor bourbon*
my spectagoggles just fell off my face :(
Im going now Im being challanges at a WII game :)
FOURS MELICA! :(
"Even you can't get on my nerves. That's how happy I am," Caine smirked.
"Where's Jack?" Diana asked. When Caine scowled, she said, "See? I still know how to get on your nerves."
*Runs madly into Blogland and trips over rock*
OW!
*points at Ieni* IS IT A BIRD? IS IT A PLANE? ALMOST. IT'S A NINJA AEROPLANE!!!!!
Um, hi. :)
I just finished Gone. Like, two seconds ago. NEXT STOP, HUNGER!
PRETTY BOOK IS PRETTY!:3
Yay! I'm a ninja aeroplane!
*makes aeroplane noises*
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!
Anyway:
Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!!!!!!!!!!! *violenly tacklehuggles*
Clooooooooooooooooooooooooooover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *unviolently tackehuggles*
How are you all?
Will go disappear to do the washing up for a few minutes now...
Am back. :)
I've read Hunger!!
I have too, Flame. Twice. :P
IENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*aeroplanetacklehugs*
FORTY EIGHT.
I'M AIMING FOR FIFTY BY NEW YEAR.
AND I'LL COMPLETE MY COLLECTION WHENEVER I COMPLETE IT, I GUESS.
Flame!!!! *hugs*
How's you?
*Madly runs away from the aeroplanetacklehugs*
Wait, why is that one word, because what would an aeroplanetacklehug actually be like?
*Dances to song*
I was dancing on the bus again today and then my friend called me weirdd.
MEH.
IENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
Well, an aeroplanetackle could be one word, and a tacklehug IS one word, so an aeroplanetacklehug could . . . just about . . . be a word.
*runs into wall*
*shrieks*
*rolls around on the ground*
OH MY FREAKING GOLDEN GOD THAT HURTS!!
That's a slightly ever so confusing explanation of it, but meh, it's all good to me :)
Maralie!!! *hugs* How are you?
That was a really not clever thing to do ;P
Omg, I've been getting my friend to read S.P and we were talking about it on the way to the busstop and she was stumbling over the word 'Skulduggery' and said she hated China, because she's just got to the bit where Skulduggery been skeletonapped and China won't help him :(
She's pausing it for a few days to read the Hunger Games, but she wants to get back to it quickly, because she says she loves it!
Would she not just finish SP, first?
HI MARA!
"Then you smacked Chunk into a wall."
"Is he alright?"
"Caine. In the movie a guy can get knocked through a wall and get up again like it's no big deal. This wasn't a movis. The wall was brick. Chunk looked like roadkill. Like a racoon that's been run over and over and over and keeps getting run over for a few days."
^^^Pulled that quote from memory . . .
*movie
*shrugs* I dunno. I said she should, but she's crazy like that.
*laughs* That makes me love Caine even more!<3
I LOVE CAINE SO MUCH, OMG!
Ieni! *hugs*
Yeah. I know...
*through a wall
I think.
I dunno . . . *looks it up*
Yup. Through.
And:
*a couple of days."
Hi Star! *hugs*
Hey Luci! *hugs*

*dances to anything goes*
Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
The world's gone quiet. I think everyone died (a month to early).
Chloe! *hugs*
Was it fun?
*tackle hugs*
I guess, they were taking the piss out of one of the teachers and my mum won aprize in the raffle, how r u?
HI ARIANA!
Aghhh. Google Talk isn't working for me.
HEY GUYS!!!
Yay! What did she win?
Aha, that's always fun XD
It's funny, because on here I always hug people, but in real life I hate hugging people (with a few exceptions) DX
I'm meh:) Today wasn't as good as yesterday, but it was better than Monday :)
You?
Maralie, it's the end of the world in a month - do you expect anything to go right? ;)
Im great
she won a joe icecream voucher lol
I dont really hug people either just my best friend
and my other best friend hugs me but i dont bac
Ieni - The end of the world in a month? Pssh. I haven't even met 1D yet. Or had a debate about Valduggery with Derek, for that matter.
Nice:)
That's slightly random XD
*Pretends to be a ninja aeroplane.
This is fun :)*
Less than a month ;P
Ah, well. Surely you could do that in the afterlife?
Do you ship Valduggery? What do you ship...?
I reckon this is a mistake, opening a conversation about ships - especially with Clover online ;) - but MEH!
"Do you still dream of hurting animals, Drake?
No, Doc, I dream of hurting you."
I know it's silly, but I'm pretty fearful of this supposed end of the world. :/
brb gotta change into my jammy's
THE END OF THE WORLD.
It'd be class if all us Minions met up to have a huge chat and meet each other before TEOTW. Not to sound stalkerish...
Aww, Chloe!
Haha and then we get go and prevent or insure TEOTW and then move to Mars and laugh at everything and then move back to earth and live as hermits and...
im back
I love that line Star.
It's probably my favourite line out of the whole book.
Hey guys.
Eden! *hugs*
How are you?
I'm grand.
Wait one second I have to finish burying this body.
*shovels in last load of dirt*
That's that
*claps dirt off hands*
Ah, what happened? Or did just kill them for fun...?
hey guys im back :) I won the wii game :)
DAMN COMMENTS!
I SAID SOMETHING ABOUT HOW CHINDUGGERITH IS THE SHIP OF ALL SHIPS, ANYWAY
They insulted me on my singing.
*leaves a dead rose on the pit*
That's my symbol.
I thought it was a good idea.
I came up with it this morning.
Why do people call them ships?
I know what they are but?
A DREEEEAM IS A WISH YOUR HEAAART MAKES...
Please stop with the Cinderella music.
I'm so sick of music right now.
Stupid teacher.
I'm really sorry if I seem mean I'm just annoyed at a lot of people.
I like loads of music, im contantly listening to it
Not you guys though.
You guys are the one people who actually calm me down a lot of the time.
Okay.
Psycho rage rant over.
Sorry Eden... *shuffles awkwardly*
*smirks* How's stuff with Death?
*grins innocently*
Chinduggerith? Clover, seriously?
Do I even WANT to know
Mel! *hugs* Yay!
If people insult your singing, hug them, because you should feel sorry for the fact they have bad hearing :)
*scowls*
You won't be smirking when I write my autobiography.
Oh there was this girl Maralie I think her name was.
Now what - she was.
(Insert in there what you will)
See, this is what I say about you guys cheering me up.
*listens to we go together*
ive recently been in a grease mood
YOU DON'T KNOW, OH OH!
YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!
IF ONLY YOU SAW WHAT I COULD SEE
YOU'D UNDERSTAND WHY I WANT YOU SO DESPERATELY
RIGHT NOW I'M LOOKING AT YOU AND I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU DON'T KNOW, OH OH!
YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!
OH OH!
THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL!
thanks for telling us the lyrics to thats what makes you beautiful it really lightened up my day...
My favourite songs at the moment are: Payphone, Some Nights and Good Intentions.
I love some nights, mine is gangnam style
*scowls* That's mean. You'll be going in MY autobiography as:
- A strange and unusual character. I think his name was Even -
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Oh my freaking Golden God. The Coca Cola Christmas ad is on. Yayyyy!
Mel, I can sing the whole song for you if you'd like...? ;)
No thanks I know it myself.
And yet the parody is much better?
Before i was born late one night
my papa said everythings alright
the doctor laughed when my mam layed down with her stomach bouncing all around
cause the beebop stork was about to arrive mamma gave birth to a HAND JIVE
Im ok right now but maybe later my favorite songs right now are beneath your beautiful, some nights, six degrees of seperation and a thousand years...
lENI HOW DARE YOU THE PARODY IS NOT BETTER IT MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR IT. D':
Is that sarcasm Eden?
I could barely walk when i milked a cow when i was three i pushed a plough while chopping wood i moved my legs and i started dancing when i gathered eggs
the town folk clapped i was only five he'll out dance em all he was born to HANDJIVE!!!
No I know it all.
YES, CHINDUGGERITH!
MORTAL COIL IS TO BLAME! *points to Mortal Coil books and grins*
Ok...maybe it is my fault... BUT I DON'T CARE. BECAUSE CHINDUGGERITH IS A GREAT SHIP.
JUST LIKE VILEQUESSE. VILEQUESSE IS AN AWESOME SHIP.
You want to hear Grease you should see the video of me singing Grease Lightning solo in the smaller theatre in my local opera house.
Sorry I'm distant, writing.
@Eden: Yay. :)
What is a ship!?
cool Eden
A ship is like a ship.
Basically, when you think two people should be a couple :)
I dont know bout u but I like Valduggery *plzdonthatemeplzdonthatemeplzplzplzdonthateme*
I wrote an essay in english and when I handed it in my teacher quickly scanned over it then turned and softly said to me "I have a few questions about your essay" Then I said "Ask away miss" So then she said " My first question is why did you choose such an obsquere name as Valkyrie? my second is why does she step into a mirror ? and my third is who is miss Low?" I simply got my SP book out of my bag (I carry it around everywhere with me) and said "here you go miss all of the answers are in here" :D
Must go, bye! x
*grins*
Bye Maralie.
bye maralie :( the bit about the mirror was my own personel twist :)
Byii Maralie
Bye, Maralie! *waves*
I don't like Valduggery, much.

My friend handed in my english essay today and this canadian guy who is taking us for 6 weeks said Is this is ? I asked for 800 words and by my estimet this is only 700. What do you have to say for yourself and my friend said - sir for one this isnt my essay and my friend (Im not gonna say my real name) who wrote it has been ill in bed for the past two days barely able to move and coughing very violently so I am sorry if she was only able to write 700 words but I would say thats exctremely good considering the circumstances. She obviously exadurated the story because I have been sitting on this for the last two days and occasionally throwing up but apart from that Im fine... he he he this is why I love having an opinionated friend...
:) GO YOUR FRIEND!
yeah, and apparently she struted away aswell!! she has a very strong opinion at times...
