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...

I was trying to walk on a heater.
LOL. WTF??? I had no idea what was going on, or what you said for that matter.
right, I don't care anymore plan 'steal santa' is a go
:) :) :)
LOL Mels :P
And the heater was on. And then I was trying to touch the ceiling by standing on the bed, but I slipped and fell off. Multiple times.
Ivy: ????
OH. THAT'S WHY YOU SAID OW. TROLOLOL
I was on the phone with Adra, and I'm explaining why I said "OW!" so many times.
OH, THIS LYRICS VIDEO IS THE ONE WITH "The lyrics are a lie!" IN THE BACKGROUND.
In a mo "The cake is also a lie!" will pop up.
Oh, and I tried to get up to shut my door when my sister walked in, but my phone was plugged into the charger so when I stood up it jerked me back and I fell over.
*laughs*
It is one hell of a strong phone charger.
Yeah. and it cut the phone off lol
COME ON, THE CAKE IS ALSO A LIE. WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUU?????????
There were also a few times when I just tripped over my feet.
And there was the time my bed bit me....

ZAFFY ALIIIVE

so hows life?

am I ....... alone in ...... blogland ?
OMG. WHAT TO DO FIRST... hmmmmmmmm
*strokes chin*
derek if your sitting looking at my loneliness then please stop and talk to me...
I'm back and I never said you couldn't I just advised you against it a a whole an reminded you of the fact that we need anther elder
*starts singing*
soooo looonnneeeelllyyyy
oohh ssooo lllooonnneeelllyyy
OMG ANOTHER PERSON! yay
i asked people and apparently no one wants to join us sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Soo your going ahead with plan Santa anyway
do you think we should?
I honestly can't remember what the plan was
It was to jump on some dinosaurs, go to the north pole, steal santa in his sleep and take him back to Scotland...
Before or after Christmas because I quite like all the presents and shenanigans that go on at Christmas. Not all the stuff before, just the Christmas Eve/day stuff.
on the 2nd of january cause christmas we get presents and new years we generally get drunk on coke/alchohol so the 2nd seems apropriate
Yep, ok we probably need more people to help us grand Mage. Because Santa has magic and he's old and pretty powerful and there's his army of elves of course. XD
do you think we should ask the americans or the australians?
Though both powerful I'd go for the Aussies the last thing we want to do is get involved in war politics and if we do we need to be on Ireland's side as they would invade us within half an hour of us joining Americas side. So yea... I hope the Aussies are natural in all this. I hate my job. Why diid I ever want it *sighs and thinks of youth 245 years ago*
That should say neutral in all this... Wierd phone
thats a good choice, I see where your coming from I hope they are cool with it and as much as I love the americiminions the Irish would kill us before the americans could even threaten us...
Exactly my thinking... It's take them at least seven hours to get here whereas the Irish could get here in minutes and they have a teleporter.
Hello I'm tired
yeah thats it decided, Im going to bed now :)
Goodnight an goodbye!
*goes to sleep*
Night
Hello everyone I am back,
no that you all noticed i left...
*not
Am I alone?
That's weird. Why do the bikini scenes have to go?
I hate this stuff. ARG! *smashes through town of innocent people.*
Stupid history.
Ok, I like history. Sorry sorry.....
I hate the teacher of history.
Hi! I am here for around 10 minutes, max...
*wanders around Blogland*
*reads former comments*
Hey! Scottish Council! The Ameriminions are actually stronger than the Aussiminions! There're more of us!
*leaves*
*looks around*
Are you serious? NO ONE commented since I left? *sighs*
Do NOT make me go Zafira on you!
I commented. But then I felt stupid...so I deleted it.
Person! Wait-ARE you a person? *peers closely*

haha referring to yourself in third person...best thing ever
Goooood morning
Yo. This floor's pretty quiet.
Really? I thought it was really sqeaky, or is that just the sound my shoes make on it?
Helllo anyone heree
Omfgg so excited for the Tanith novella.
It might be, except...you're not wearing your shoes.
*stares*

Anybody alive out there...?
Ah, hello Zaf! *hugs*
How are you?
*hugs*
Tired sad that this week i wont be on at all until Friday thanks to the lovely thing of drama til *pm and then thursday til 9pm :(
I guess i wont get to see the lovely cover...wait yeah i will just briefly though
STUPID RAIN!
Hiya Luce its raining?
HELLO!
Yeah. It's raining. A lot.
its supposed to snow tomorrow here
Zaf :( Sorry I disappeared a few minutes - French homework :/
Clover! *hugs* How are you?
I don't mind the rain, only if I'm inside and it's raining outside, because it makes my feel nice and safe for some reason.
Or if I'm feeling mean, I'll laugh at the people outside getting wet :D
Unless it's floods...in which case I won't laugh.
That's awesome Zaf! Wait, is that a good thing after Hurricane Sandy...?
eh by me its ok but idk about Jersey
HMM
Yes!!!
I dedicate this page to anyone who actually is a Necromancer. WE just are so awesome that the rest of the magicial community is afraid to go near our awesomeness!
To those of us who yet to meet Derek. We will or maybe we could kidnap him...shhh
I dedicate to the newly formed Scottish Council. I hope nothing bad happenes to you guys like it did to the Irish though I find it amusing the amount of chaos they go through.
NECROMANCERS FTW!:D
Great deds, by the way!
Thanks *bows*
hey guys :) thanks for the ded :D
Course :) I like the Scottish
you should like us we are very witty and sarcastic :) ha
Awesome ded, Zaf!
So does this mean you might get the day of school tomorrow...? I've got Friday off :)
Mel! *hugs* How're you?
*hugs* Im good and my plan to steal santa is going downhill somewhat quicker than I intended it to... how are you ?
Steal Santa? :O
Wait, no, Santa is what Ameriminions call him...it's Father Christmas over here ;P
I'm surviving :)
Guys we need to kinap Derek not Santa
I might it just depends on snowfall totals if I get 4in then i most likely wont be going to school but instead will have the lovely job of going outside
yeah the Scottish council was going to steal santa ( it was my idea - I thought why not? Im grand mage why can't I? ) but its not really working out... O_o
Why don't you just steal Santa anyway grand Mage?
hmmmm... Im not sure but we have already discussed it...hmmmm... OK I HAVE DECIDED - we shall be stealing santa :D
MY CATS ARE DIM...
your cats are...what?
Steal Santa!!!!!
yeah! On the 2nd of January :)
