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...

It might...
*shrugs*
im just grateful he comes on sometimes...wait if he does come someone remind me to ask him about Scapegrace
Well done Maralie! *gives a round if applause*
SPD - *blushes* Thank you :) I don't really get compliments, so thanks.
ok do you want me to shout it at you Zaf like SCAPEGRACE or more suttely like psst , psst Zaf , ask him about Scapegrace... ?
ooh look a link (Im bored)
http://skulduggeryrp.forumotion.co.uk
Whatever gets me to ask him. Actually just in case....
DEREK can Scapegrace actually use his magic after the transplant? Or is he like a mortal now?
I hate how he thinks everything revolves around him.
He thinks he's so important to me.
But I don't care. Not anymore.
I care if he's okay, yeah. But that's just because every life is a life worth living, because everyone has the ability to make a difference - whether it be for better or for worse, it doesn't matter. I don't believe in God, but I do believe that everyone has a right to living.
He thinks because I message him in the most casual tone I can manage that I want him back in my life. But I don't. People like him will only bring pain to those around him. He's too much like me for me to talk to him...
Why is everything so complicated?
Guys I have to go, bye!
~ Mara x
Im nervous the turkey making sizzily noises i dunno what to do
bye Mara :)
Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know (what do they know)?
We need each other
To have, to hold.
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong (you gotta be strong)
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
[another version says: "Believe me, you'll be in my heart"]
I'll be there from this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart (you'll be here in my heart)
No matter what they say (I'll be with you)
You'll be here in my heart (I'll be there), always
Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always.
Bye, Mara.
check there isn't smoke coming from the oven if its not on fire its fine. (thats about the turkey btw... though you all knew that)
The oven isnt on fire
OMG I WORKED OUT HOW I DEFIED THE LAWS OF PHYSICS. I can set things on fire and also cool them down by touch, so they contridict each other in an equal way . SMARTS :D
Go Mel!!
if you cool things how do you set yourself on... never mind
anyone here from california (random question of the year award nominee)
Pennsylvania!
I think weve already established where Im from :)
I'm English.
well you all probably know I'm scottish by now
Im an Ameriminion :D
hmm... scotiminion doesnt work as well... neither does minionish
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yW13T2sfKg
That video basically describes mine and his relationship, now...
It's a really good song and I just realised how well the video shows what it'd probably be like irl...
has anyone here been attacked by - the Elves...?
Nope I got attacked by....
AAAAAAH!!!
*spazzes out as the Bently pulls up*
Uh oh
*goes up to my tree*
yeah well I just was attacked by a variety of mystical but very real creatures...
I have the sudden urge to feel very sorry for Sanguine's mother...what did Scarab do to her?
ooh god I feel sorry for her aswell...
Love is over, love, love is over tonight...
I mean you know darn well she'd dead
"Over my dead momma's body may she rest in pieces" -Sanguine
Who killed her? I blame Scarab
well a lot of things are his fault...
... his, serpines or someone else from the war... or this 'supreme council'
I still never found out Scarab's magic...Derek never said if he found the notes...he'll find them by Christmas
Jasmine, to me the Supreme Council is so not 'helping' Ireland look book 8 gonna be war :D DAMN YOU BISAHALANI I GOT BRAINS YOU DONT
yep that is blindingly obvious everybody in the books is talking as though there is going to be a war... unless landys written all this suspense to just shock us when they all live happily ever after and have afternoon tea together... I doubt he'll do that somehow
I only need to find two more scottish people who are on Blogland before I just declare myself Grand mage of the Scottish sanctuary... IT WILL BE ACCEPTED (hopefully)
fine with me as long as I get to be an elder... either that or you have opposition
you can be an elder for as long as you want :)
The day he has them having afternoon tea is the day I die, no he said its gonna be war...
Mel: Just do it. Im Grand Mage of the American Sanctuary without Derek's aporval,
YAY! ok then here goes -
Im the grand mage of the Scottish santuary :)
i vote for you XD
You are the grand mage of scotland now can I be an elder?
yesh you can :P
*grins*
Grand Mage Frost, if Derek utters a complaint or fires you we'll join together to create OTOAAS (Operation Take Over America and Scotland)
I'm combat accessory to the Skeleton Detective in Ireland.
OK PLAN.
So right now OTOAAS is plan B :D
He'll never see it coming... he he he
Well as you Valkyrie...please dont go Darquesse on me
Unless he reads the comments.
Yes you are and I'm elder jasmine XD I love titles
No promises, Zaf.
HEY VAL! DID YOU HEAR? IM A GRAND MAGE :D ACCOMPLISHMENT
I didn't hear, but I read it.
thats just as good :)
Im kinda glad I dont know my true name...
*nods*
well what Master Derek doesnt know wont hurt
for now ... yes , what he doesn't know wont hurt him...
i wish I knew my true name the suspense is killing me
well I would rather its killing you than you knowing it and you killing everyone else , like darquesse :O
Eh Derek neednt worry....
*secretly is ready to go over rainbow bridge to Ireland*
and as an elder your in a position of power so yeah that would make it even worst...
HERROOOOO
I wouldn't kill everybody... I'm a sensitive all I do is see the future
heyas
*sectretely prepares magical dinosaur to travel to Ireland*
ADRA!!! ELDER DARK!!
Im a Necromancer but I kinda dont believe the Passage thing
*watches Grand mage frost preparing magical dinosaur* *sighs* "not again'
elder jasmine this time I swear Ill feed the dinosaur before I travel so that it doesnt eat people...
Good afternoon, Grand Mages. Faring well?
*turns to Jasmine* Hello, I'm Elder Adrasdos Dark. *shakes hand* *gives skulcake*
Pleasure to meet you.
Elder Jasmine?? Of what Sanctuary?

And I work for the Irish Council!
And I work for the Irish Council!
Sorry did I forget the elder bit *shrugs*
Im planning on capturing santa as my first official act as grand mage... shhh dont tell anyone
The newly-appointed Scottish Council??
Well, I don't know about you all but I think that's fairly momentous. Does anyone feel up for a little celebration?
*slips Mel a skulcake when no one is looking* got your back, sista xD
VALKYRIE! *tackles*
I would advise you against it grand mage as its a) your second acton your first was to appoint me as an elder b) a ridiculous idea C) you need to appoint another elder
awww thankyou!! *queitly nibbles on skulcake* :D
We should cekebrate the Scottish Council
We need the Aussies to set one up
...Hello?
well who else would want to be an elder? I would like to capture santa just after christmas and i cant start preparing for that until i get all official stuff out of the way...
Luce! *huggles* HI!!!!
*hands out champagne to everyone* a decree a TOAST. To the Scottish High Council!!!
HEAR HEAR!
Grand Mage, Elder Jasmine, care to make a speech?
ehh can I say no to the speech but thanks for the alchohol?
Hello, Adra.
No, you MUST make a speech! I's tradition.
And you're welcome. It was imported. Illegally. maybe. Ask Zaf.
and also if anyone wants to be an elder for the scottish council then tell me so that I can continue with other pieces of business...
*drinks champagne*
(pfft Zaffy happy
Are you alright, Luce???
Zafira! *smacks her upside the head* That isn't the way to act!
emm ok I would like to say thanks for being so kind and welcoming to our new council and thanks for making me grand mage!
Is that ok adra?
Dont slap! Thats assult!
see if a fight breaks out then 1. Im not going accept responcibility for it 2. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT !
*wishes that they could celebrate with some nice scottish whiskey... maybe the glenrothes or some glenfiddich*
Ah, close enough Mels. :P
And Zaf... You've blown ireland to smithereens on multiple occasions. You can't say nothin
Yes.
Why wouldn't I be?
Of course I'm ok.
elder jasmine if we gave out scotch countries would be destroyed because people would become hammered within 5 mins
BRING IT AWN KERIAS.
*tosses whiskey in Jasmine's general direction*
Now this is a proper celebration
Oh you just sounded... I'm crazy. okay.
*ireland explodes*
SEARCH ME!! Im innocent!!!
(btw it was Sanguine
*puts Ireland back together*
I suppose, why is it that only scots can drink our whiskey and appear sober grand mage?
*drinks some whiskey* thanks
Welcome.
OMG VAL. TROL.
Elder Dark...you really wanna fight me?
*gets slightly tipsy* *sees darquesse vision again*
...Yes.
Bu i wouldn't be fighting... i'd be winning. *wicked grin*
Fine no killing
*sends fist full of shadows at Adra's face*
emmm I think its because our livers can cope better but you will be happy to know I just fed the dinosaur and I also gave it some alchohol so it can celebrate to! ohh and btw the dinosaur just had like 10 mini dinosaur babies so Im giving them away if anyone wants one :D
*sobers up slightly* YOU GAVE THE DINOSAUR ALCOHOL? *facepalms*
*dodges* reeeeally?
*jumps onto dinosaur* MUAJAJAJZJAJAJAJA
yeah well why not? doesnt it deserve a treat after all it just had 10 babies?
*sighs* never mind grand mage *looks on at fight with interest*
*shadow walks*
GAAAH
soo does no one want a baby dinosaur?
Ah, everyone appears to be trying to kill each other.
This is good :)
Gaaaaaah?
*kicks outward, making Zaf pitch forward*
REALLY? NO ONE WANTS A DINOSAUR?
GIVE ME A DINOSAUR. *takes dinosaur*
I would have one if I hadn't been traumatised by my last experience with magical dinosaurs
yay! have fun with your new dinosaur - but there is something you should know treat it like a gremlin, dont feed it after dark and also feed it before you travel or bad things happen, BBBBAAAAAAAAADDDDDD things
Okay... *pats little dinosaur*
I'll call you... Keith.
he he keith, thats a good name :D
Obviously, Keith is evil at heart and serves an unknown master...
Keith is a fricking Weeping Dinosaur. Look out, world.
yeah but he looks awesome :)
*sits down and drinks more whiskey*
.... I wonder what a game of Red Light, Green Light would be like with a Weeping Angel...
:O
FLUPPING AMAAAAAAAAZING.
dont even get me started with weeping angels - they creep me out more than clowns
Evil
*sends shadows at dino*
*sees vision where keith destroys the world* umm... grand mage?

I want a dino!!
*shadiw walks behind dino*

*steals other 8 dinosaurs*
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAH
if you want a dino then you can have a dino *gives dino*

then so be it
*takes back the 8 dino's from elder dark* Im gonna put them in a safe place so now you cant get them
NO YOU WILL NOT HURT HIM.HE IS MINE
I WILL MURDER YOU

*goes after Keith*
KKKKKKEKEEEEEIIIIIITTTTTHHHHHHHH

Wbd, sorry.
*falls to knees*
I WILL AVENGE YOU!!!!
*Mels and Slendy teleport to random woods*
*stalks Melica*
ehhh can I ask someone - WHERE THE HELL AM I?????
THIS IS MY WOODS. THIS IS MY TERRITORY. THIS IS MY AVENGEMENT. THIS IS WHERE I BRING MY VICTIMS.
THIS IS WHERE I WILL RAISE CAIN
*flips and lands on the ground*
*sits up*
Ow. What happened???
ooohhh f*** im in some deep s*** right now. *secretly calls dinosaur, jumps on its back and rides away into the distance* mwahahaha you can't get me now
Oh yeah...
*hides with dino*
*climbs in her TETRIS and flies right next to the dinosaur*
Hello. I'm the Ducktor. What the hell can't I do?
I asked my sister today if her wrists had ever randomly hurt for no reason and she answered in the positive. :)
Yay. Looks like it's probably just genetic or something then. Which means I don't have to worry about it . . .
Um, Star??
BY THE WAY. DID YOU GET MY BOAT?
we should totally celebrate things more often its so fun :)
*gangnam styles in the shadows*
...ayyyyy...
,,,sexy laday...
yep celebrate more often... now what about that santa thing you wanted to do?
Im going to steal santa on the 2nd of January while hes sleeping but I cant go any further with my planning until I elect a second elder... hmmm anyone want the job?
sorry , *we are going to steal santa*
is now a good time to point out that we only know of three scottish sorcerers?
well yes it probably would be but seeing as there is only 2 of us on right now we will probably have to offer the job to someone else that - isn't from Scotland *gulp*
we could just elect them anyway and tell them when we next see them... I'm sure they won't mind
ok, can you remember who they were because Ive had a lot to deal with in the last hour and everythings gone in my head...
nope. I have absolutely no idea... I guess they will have to be foreign... it would be temporary until we find a scotsman... then we wont be killed by an angry mob of scottish sorcerers
*points a couple of pages back* OH, THAT WAS FUNNNNN . . . Yes Adra, I got your boat, but Nix, uh, blew it up. :(
The events of this morning were a major topic of conversation between me and my siblings throughout today. *nods*
Did you scold him for me???
Sorry was punching a wall
Ive seen depressed people but this Minion i unfortunatly know is ACTING to get attention
What, Zaf?
Oh
Yuuup!! Acting saying: ooh im depressed
I try to talk to her she gets pissed because Im helping out at home or at play practice! I mean she told me not to join the musical because she doesnt see me I see her EVERY DAY lunch and gym and chorus
... Punch her?
Im tempted but ill do it next week that way i can still be in the play as our performance this weekend.
I mean come on! She's not active in anything besides church! Why cant she do something? I mean I entertain myself well. She obviously diesnt think. I mean ugh...just use the common sense area of your brain
Yes, I scolded him with a hot frying pan. :P
Then he set fire to the boat. Apparently Plan A is set fire to it, Plan B is punch it, Plan C is blow it up and Plan D is open to change.
After I'd put the fire out he punched the boat, realised it had little or no effect on it, and rigged the boat with explosives.
I asked my brother for advice and he gave me a few suggestions involving blowing Nix up and shooting him before he suggest a suggestion I could actually follow. Which was to punch Nix in the face and strangle him.
So I started doing that, then Nix blew the boat up, then I died (again), and my brother started telling me to kick Nix and punch him and kill him.
Then Nix said he could smell my brother's fear.
And my brother advised me to kick him in the stomach and kick him in the face and kick him in the stomach etc.
So Nix sent my brother a message. The message was to set fire to me.
And then my brother said something that involved drowning and kicking and farting.
I don't know, I've got a crap memory. But something like the above happened this morning. :)
I WISH I STAYED UP FOR THAT, STAR. THAT SOUNDED AMAZING :P
And *huggles Zaf* I'm still not completely sure what just happened...
I dont know who your talking about but the common sense part of my brain tells me to punch people, especially if their midgits - Im not against midgits but this kind of situation involvs them most
She taller then me :/ ugh
*hugs*
least I come to Blogland and nobody thinks im the cause of their terrible acting version of deoression
THANKS ADRA. :)
I showed my sister it and she was laughing, then they kept suggestingthings I should have done. I don't think they quite get the concept that I don't actually WANT to kill Nix, or anyone else for that matter . . .
I think that you're brilliant, Zaf :D
guys I have some bad news, its about the dinosaurs...
I'd like to dedicate this page to the Doctor-Derek and... Keith.
*raises glass*
HEAR HEAR
HEAR HEAR
*trips and knocks Adra's glass over*
yeah, I kinda, sorta forgot to feed the dino's and they got out, so BASICALLY what Im saying is be afraid, be very afraid...
Trolol, Val...
And I've tried to kill Nix before. It took three hours and I had died around eighteen times
Hear hear!!
Maybe Derek will come on I could use some insanity
*punches Val* MY GLASS.
Aren't I insane though?
no,no,no,no,no - the last time someone said hear hear things went wrong...
*breaks glass on Adra's head* MY TRIP.
MY FACE. *tackles her*
YOU BROKE A GLASS ON MY FACE
YOUR HEAD, NOT YOUR FACE!
*rides off on a unicorn and cooks potatoes*
Phahaha
-_-
SEE, SEE!
