50267 words written... and Valkyrie and Skulduggery are barely in it.
This doesn't mean, of course, that they won't be taking their usual starring roles in Book 8. Of course they will. But I've had to approach this one in a slightly different way than normal.
Because this book is about, essentially, total war, I've had to think long and hard about how the different sides would fight— such as what tactics they would use in both the short and long term. It means I can't chop and change sequences like I usually would. If they're written, then they've been written for a very specific reason, and I can't mess about with that. So I figured the best way to write about these military actions is to write them FIRST. Write the skirmishes and the battles and the politics and the arguments, and get it all down on the page. Then, once I have the military aspect taken care of, I go back and write my usual Skul & Val stuff around and on top of it all.
It's an interesting way of working, to willingly ignore your main characters for large chunks of writing time. I sincerely hope it works...
Oh, and sometime in February I shall announce the title. I've had this title in mind for YEARS. Some of the early alternatives were:
Skulduggery Pleasant: The Billingsworth Continuum.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Behind Gold Eyes.
Skulduggery Pleasant: It's War, Baby.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Revenge of the Screaminator.
Skulduggery Pleasant: When Warlocks Attack.
Skulduggery Pleasant: A Very Nice Picnic.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Brain-Puncher.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Gut-Eater.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Skulduggery Goes Camping.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Things Get Nasty.
Skulduggery Pleasant: People Gonna Die.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Readers Gonna Cry.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Horace.
And amazingly, the actual title is better than ANY of those! I know, right?

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 4943 Newer› Newest»Ooh!! Cool ENGLIMINION!!!!!!-Zaffy
I am obsessed with Snape! Btw we're American minions :) or as Zaf corrected me, were Ameriminions
DEREK!!!!! DEREK DEREK!!!!! Remember Marissa who asked about Nye? She's with me and wants to ask you something!-Zaffy
I actually wanted to be able to brag to the other elder, Serafia that I talked to you, since she left us for county chorus
Marissa Spiritheart
AMERIMINIONS!! HELLO!!!!!!!!! *WAVES*
Talking about Snape, I'm actually watching Harry Potter now!
Harry just attacked Draco :(
*waves* What movie are you watching? The half blood prince? Btw our teacher is showing us how to write in Greek but Zaf and I arent paying attention
Marissa Spiritheart
Lol no weare not paying attention this is HONORS ENGLISH not Greek our regular teacher is out-Zaffy
Yep, Half Blood Prince!
Harry's just taken Felix Felicis!
GREEK?? Woah!! Odd at the best of times, and even more in English!! We have boring lessons :( And our school is tiny!
Ready to hear what Derek told her about Nye?
Nye is an it because that it what it is. And that's how it can be an it.
^^ From Derek in a Christmas card and his handwriting SUCKS -Zaffy
By the way, Derek, I still have that letter in my school foldr to look at when I'm depressed, not to be taken in a creepy way!!!! I know your kind, Zaf!!!
Marissa Spiritheart
Lol we gtg the bell is about to ring to go to next class
BYE-Zaffy and Marissa Spiritheart
Haha! Bye Zaf and Marissa!!! Nice to meet you!! :D
Oh and Potterheads! I'm on Pottermore! SilverUnicorn111!
Haha, lol, I love 'Readers Gonna Cry'! :D
I'd agree valice, lol
But that makes me think everyone I love is going to die!
...
Just got back from skiing. One in the morning... Hi.
Ah, nice. Was it fun?
Yup. Didn't fall down much, but the first time, I wasn't even going downhill! :P Just leaned back too far and lost balance. Then there's this other time I was on a new and harder course for the first time, I slid on my butt a few feet before I could stop!
*laughs*
That was hilarious!
Or meters, depends where you are.
*reads top comment*
Oh Em... No one is trying to avoid talking to you if you really think about it. Sure we might try to avoid a certain topic, but we don't try to avoid all out talking to /you/, okay? But if you need to talk to someone about how you're feeling, you can tell us. We can only do our best to try to understand and be there for you. *hugs*
Ah, sounds painful. It would be too cold for me, plus I have no balance.
Em, we all love you *hugs* Please don't feel that way.
Charisma, not EVERYONE you/we all love will die, surely Derek wouldn't put us through that much grief hehe.
*is waiting to get a shower*
I have roommates and one of them is in there now...
On a random subject- when I got out of the bus to the building I stay in, first thing I did was notice stars. It's been cloudy so long, and I haven't seen stars in ages. But most of the time it was cause I wasn't even looking... Still, wanted to stay and stargaze more, but people would probably tell me to go inside, it being so late.
Willow unfortunatly, I suspect that he will kill everyone.
Book 9 will just be Vile and Darquesse having a picnic.
I hope not, Charisma and Willow.
I like stargazing. *goes starry-eyed then snaps out of it*
Nope. Didn't hurt at all. It never hurt when I fell. Cause it was mostly to the side. When I turn, I lean too far over and one ski goes across the other and I fall to the side.
Book 9 = Skulduggery Pleasant: A very nice picnic *grins*
Apparently, it's just me that can't do these things, then and I always feel like I'm going to fall over when I'm on a slope.
But two days ago, I got to ski for the first time in two years, I came home... And got sick...
But I was better today!
Now the person is finished with her shower. So I gotta take mine. Bye!
Hope, at least you have stors when the night's not cloudy, in the US theirs no stars at all!
Abd even if it was just Vile and Darquesse having a picnic, then technically Derek wouldn't have killed everyone.
There are stars in the right places in America.
You must live in a very urban area, Willow.
[Is not here, but is being an optimist anyway]
true, their are some in the urban areas, but their has been so much devlopment its crazy! It seems the only place you can see stars is when you go camping, and thats it.
...hello?
Luciana college is not that scary, I'm in my first semester and I actually like it better
THEY'RE ALL INSANELY SMART
and play with lego
I'M INCREDIBLY EXCITED!:D
It just makes me feel old. XD College... Then university D:
I was at college yesterday night, having a look around. It was ridiculously humorous. Math students were saying I shouldn't do English and I need to do physics... I don't like physics, however. I want to do double math, double English and a modern foreign language. Most people are only doing three or four A-Levels xD
Nice, but ya, college kids can be intense jokers. i myself am majoring in psychology, so I have a lot of years ahead of me. It takes about 8 years to become one.
I live in a small city in California(not now of course, I'm out of country). I could see /one/ of the dippers. Not sure which, might have been the big one, and the constellation Orion right above my house every night. Then we moved... But I'm still in a small city that's only twenty minutes away from where I used to see the constellations.
Back btw... And it's 2AM... Shouldn't I be tired?
You're at uni?
I'm from England, so college is just before university.
THE MATH STUDENTS WERE THE FUNNIEST PEOPLE, OMG
I was stood with math students for ages. Talking for ages before Paddy, the math teacher, asked if they'd take us to physics!:D
HOW OLD ARE YOU, WILLOW???
I'm the oldest of the newer/old generation of bloglandians. The really old ones are older than me. But Em outranks us all! She's 23.
LAV! *tacklehugs*
omg, I live in cali also!
and I am 19 yrs odl.
And over here, at least the people i talk to, call a community college just college, and when we're at a university we say university.
I GOT MY NEW HEADPHONES! :D
THEYARESOINZAYNLYCOOL.
*is not really here, might comment every so often*
Collage... I'm so brain dead, my mind is still freshman high school... Or woman, in my case. ;P I would probably be in my senior(or maybe junior) year by now if I kept going to school. Not that I'm a drop out. I just haven't been studying while out of country.
YES YES YES YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!
WE GOT THE CAST LIST FOR AS YOU LIKE IT!!
GUESS WHO I AM??
Hi L!
Cool, Willow! Um... I would ask where, but that might be too personal... I finally know someone who comments here from my state! Yay!
*almost drops iPod on her face*
Oops... I'm lying in bed, see, and holding it above me...
Cool Mara! And okay! Hi still!
I'm not sure I know that, Charisma, so I can't guess. Sorry. But by the sound of it, you got the part you wanted, yes?
Btw, Willow, I'm turning 17 in May. :) And I live in the Solono County area. I have no idea if Solono is spelled right though...
Yup Lav! I got the second biggest part, Celia! Which I wanted and my friend is playing my 'cousin' Rosalind!
Shakespeare! Yaaaay!
*just realizes the sentence about the iPod rhymed*
Whoa... I had no idea... That's a pretty cool rhyme though.
I do that a lot. Rhyme when I don't try to. It just fits the sentence, and what comes out of my mind and into typing.
I'm more random when I talk.
yay 17, one more year till you're an adult! I may be 19 but i look more like 17. I played a character once who was a few years younger then me and i passed to play as them.
And you're the first who I've talked to who comes from the same state also. and Solona sounds far, I live in san bernardino county.
Congrats! What's the play? Shakespeare has so many...
All the world's a stage
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts
His acts being seven ages...
Gtg again!
Hi/Bye and congrats!
And youll finish college eventually Hope, I have no doubt about that :)
Yeah, that does sound far... I guess the closest city to recognize would be Sacramento. I live about an hour drive from there.
Oh- and about my speaking, I say um a lot! Seriously. Almost all the time!
Hi/Bye Fabi! And thanks!! :D
The play is As You Like It, and I'm so excited as we are doing it as an open air performance is a forest! And we are doing it in either Edwardian or Elizabethan/Tudor costumes! And Celia has the nicest clothes, as she is daughter of the duke and has court clothes to start with, then when they go into the forest she gets a country ish makeover thing and goes kind of Elizabethan hippy!
Hi/bye Fabi!
I recognize- I would say that, but I only know the first two lines so... Yeah.
I also say yeah a lot when I speak and gibberish. I can't type it, but I'm fluent in speaking. I have a hard time completing my sentences, so not to have silence while I think of the right words, I gibber.
Oh- and thanks, Willow. I'm actually thinking of trying to study for my GED test while I'm not in America. Thinking because I'm so busy doing other things at the moment to actually get any study time in.
yup, your county then is definitely far from me. Did you say what country you're staying in at the moment or no?
Do get your GED in another countty, then you can officially say you studied abroad, lol.
That sounds cool, Charisma! My mom loves those old fashioned 17/18th century style clothes.
*has no idea what century the Elizabethian style is from*
Yeah... Might want to ignore that...
Elizabethen is 16/17th centuary!
Fabi, it's set in the Forest of Arden, which is kinda nowhere! We watched the film of it and it was set in China! :)
No... I didn't say what country, but I have before so I can say it again. I'm in South Korea right now.
Yeah, and when I go back, I can start collage soon after. ... Maybe... I'm not sure. I either want to have a career in music, or writing. I like to sing, and I'm already trying to write a story a dream of mine created.
It's a tad bit too late. I should get sleeping. Night guys!
Hopefully this isn't for a while. I'll see what happens tomorrow...
You'll succeed! and goodnight!
Ah. I was under the impression that it orginally took place in a French dukedom, but you're right, Shakespeare nowadays can be set anywhere.
[Thinks of Twelfth Night with annoying tropical music]
Night, Lav!
I must go as well, not that I was really here in the first place.
Bye!
Hey guys again :)
Au revoir Fabi!
Heya Mel!!
CAN YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING?
SING THE SONGS OF ANGRY MEN ! :D
CHARISMA! *tacklehugs*
Hullo!
HELLO MEL! AND ANYONE ELSE!
AND A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL WILLOW (as in the Willow that's rarely on the blog anymore who I ADORE)<3
hey luce! So how is everyone doing?
LUCE LUCE LUUUUUUCEEEEEEEE!
IT IS THE MUSIC OF THE PEOPLE
lol, when I first saw the name williw I was omg! yay my b-day is early hehe
Hello?
Yellows stalker of my shadow!! Did that make sense...? Im not sure it did...
Mel!!! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
How's you?
Haha. Everyone calls me stalker D:
*is ninjaeroplanetacklehugged*
Im swell! How the duck are you?
Ah, posh mode!
I'm spiffing, thankyou your graciousnous. I had some very posh nosh for supper, darling.
Hi everyone! :) Vas Happenin'?
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS.
Ah, today at school . . . You kinda had to be there, but imagine funny voices and facial expressions and:
Person 1: *is shaking Person two by the arm saying, "Do you? Do you? Do you?
Me: What's this?
Person 3: Does she what?
Person 1: *repeats* Do you wipe your bottom when you go to the toilet?
Us: *start laughing*
Person 4: I do!
1: *to Person 2* Do you?
2: Yes, of course!
1: *grabs 2 and 4 and shoves them towards each other* YOU MAY KISS THE BRIDE!
Us in general: *confusion* What?
1: They both said I do, so they're married!
2: *indignantly, not wanting to be married* I didn't say I do!
1: But I said "Do you?" and you said "Yes, of course!"
4: *unethusiastic about the marriage* You didn't ask us that question, though!
1: I did! I said do you wipe your bottom when you go to the toilet AND do you want to get married?
Me: *is laughing so much it hurts by this point*
1 is just a crazy, crazy person. Earlier in the lunch queue, which we btw stand up in, she was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall with her legs stretched out in front of her singing I Am The Music Man, complete with actions.
3: Do we know this lunatic? We don't know this person, do we?
Us in general: No.
3: *drags me away from 1* What are you doing over there? Come away from that dangerous lunatic, Holly!
Then 1 started singing other songs I didn't recognise about choo-choo trains and turning around, then she was singing the Prius advert "What do you call one when it turns into more?"
XD She can just be so crazy.
Crazy. [Nods]
Crazy. [Shakes head]
Help, people?
We have this crossword for Science . . .
I haven't done:
4. Used to produce electricity. (5,7) _ _ _ E _ S _ A _ _ _ _
6. Melting point a colour are examples of a . . . (8) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
18. Two or more atoms chemically bonded together. (8) _ _ _ E _ _ _ _ (I would have thought it would be COMPOUND, but with that random E . . . )

35. Used to neutralise acidic gases. (4) _ _ _ _
37. Coal burning is an example of a . . . (8, 8) _ _ E _ _ C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Crazy. *nods and shakes head at the same time* *feels dizzy*
HI FABI! *tacklehugs*
Hi! [is tacklehugged]
SO, how is the Fabi this . . . whenever it is?
Ehh. We just had to talk about bog bodies today, which was gross, but sorta cool.
A brighter note: I don't have to sit with the rest of the class and write an apology letter to the sub we had while I was sick, because I didn't misbehave for her, being at home sick.
So not that bad.
HI FABI!
HI STAR!
Aloha, Mara!
How's the MC chapter going?
Can't wait for it!
Then again, molecule is just what fits with the E. It doesn't seem completely right...
YAYNESS!
I think I should like it when the class misbehaves, because seeing as I generally don't, the teacher of that class always ends up liking me and giving me good levels on my Attitude to Learning. :)
Like in Science and Music.
We don't get rated on Attitude Toward Learning...
I NEVER misbehave. [shifty look]
I don't usually talk in class or interrupt the teacher.
I do take notes in code all the time (which I don't think I'm technically supposed to do)
Meh. The MC is okay... I'm gonna mess it up though :(
Molecule would be right....
TAYLOR SWIFT IS IN MY HEAD AGAIN
There's no way it's right! I thought of it!
And Mara, it can't be that bad.
Hi Luci!
This remix of a really weird song nobody in the universe has ever heard is in my head... It's not a bad song, though.
Oh, and hi RC!
HULLO AGAIN, GUIZE
Property? Molecule? THAT COULD BE IT, DANKE!!!! :)
HI MARA! My friend from school told me that she's going to kill you if you come anywhere near Harry Styles. She was asking people if they were Directioners today, and then she called 1D her babies, and I was like, "No, they're my blogfriend Mara's babies."
And she was like, "No, they're mine."
And then she said she was married to 1D and I said she couldn't be married to Harry because Mara was but she could have the rest of them.
And my friend was like, "No, I'M married to Harry," because Harry is actually her favourite.
And I was like, "No, Mara is! Harralie! HARRALIE!!!!"
And she was like, "He's mine. I would fight to the death for Harry."
And I was like, "Well . . . I would fight to the death for Harry on Mara's behalf!"
And then I was like, "You don't even have a ship name for you and Harry so Harralie wins! HAH!"
And she was like, "I believe that you don't do things like that when you're serious about someone and I am very serious about Harry."
And I said, after a bit of thought, "Mara can't be serious about Harry because she's crazy about Harry!"
And she said, "Well I'm crazy about Harry too!"
And I said, "I thought you said you were serious!"
And she was like, "I am!"
And I was like, "You can't be serious AND crazy!" Because serious and crazy are two different emotions.
And, um, you can be serious and crazy at the same time, but I obviously wasn't saying that . . .
And she was like, "Tell Mara I'll beat her up."
And I was like, "*has no smart reply* Okay."
And she was like, "No, tell her I'll kill her if she comes anywhere near Harry."
And I was like, "Okay."
SO, I told you. *nods*
THANKS, FABI!
HI RC! HI SCÁTH!
You're welcome...probably.
That's kinda amusing. Harralie for the win!!!! XD
She's gonna have a tough time attempting to beat up Mara, though.
STAR. TELL HER SHE WILL NOT WAKE UP TOMORROW. But, uh, tell her that tomorrow. So I will not kill her tomorrow, I mean kill her the day after tomorrow. Which is tomorrow's tomorrow, not tomorrow. *nods*
HARRALIE LEDWARD CHAYLES «3
Orrr...
HANEY «3
Oooh. TWO SHIP NAMESSSS! BEAT THAT STARARARARAR'S FRIEND!
Mara goin' get her hands dirty. *smirks evilly*
. . . Is it just my computer, or did everything zoom in . . .
NO, NO! STAR NO LIKEY!
But Harry followed me on Twitter...
Well, technically he followed my cousin. But my cousin allows me on her Twitter. And I use it to follow 1D and do 1D stuffs.
SO BOOOOOOOOM STARARAR'S FRIEND!
Fabi - Mmm hmm. Mara hard to beat up. Mara bite people. *nods*
:) :) :) I'LL TELL HERRRRRRRRR.
Thank you for being amused, Fabi! :)
Seems all I do is thank you. *starts singing Fuck You by Lily Allen except the word 'thank' instead of 'fuck'*
When I was younger, innocenter and didn't know swear words, I thought it actually WAS thank you . . . XD
I spent so long trying to work out what that word was. It's kind of amusing. XD
|=_ - |||=_ |||=_ - ||= |== | |- ||| |||=_ |||| |=_ | ||||=_ |== ||==!!!!!!!

Did you get the ARARARARAR Group invitation?
You're welcome.
[Hums 'Thank You' by Dido]
Brb.
Okay Fabi :)
Mara is Mara and Mara is perfect, so Mara wins. *nods*
LUUUUCI. *wails* STOP CALLING ME THAAAAAT.
Luci is perfect. Luci don't know it. Luci is too busy telling Mara she is beautiful to realise Luci is the beautifulest person in the world.
. . . I don't KNOW any songs called Thank You . . .
*frowns at Scath* But my firend is awesome tooooooooo, so that reasoning fails . . .
Actually, Mara, kind of no. :/
*checks email on computer to see if my phone's just being odd*
*frowns* Hmm. I emailed you an invitation. Maybe I should do it again...
DAMMIT I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. *facedesk*
Stupid stupid email say Starararar's email is starinbright@gmail.com
INK. IIIIINK.
Stupid computer.
I'm really not, Mara. You're perfect. NOW ACCEPT IT! *showers her with rainbow dust*

ZAYN. NO. DON'T YOU DARE. NO. NONONONO. I DON'T CARE IF SHE DIED. NO. YOU SHOULDN'T - NOOOOO ZAYN!!!!!!!!!! D"X
Hi Mel! :)
A small example of my code there . . .
LUCE LUCE LUCE NEW PAGE IDEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Hey mara!
Nice, Star! Is it cryptogram-based?
It's ok, Mara. Everything will be ok. [hugs]
. . . And a bigger, but blurrier, example of my code there!
=_ ||| ||| ||= |== |||!
In other words, nice code, Star!
Thanks!
. . . Is it whatogram-based?
I don't know. I just made up a code one day. Uh, a few years ago. It is logical, though. I shouldn't say this, because my code is very happy being known by one person only, but for example, the vowels are shapes with no lines in, and all the other letters are the vowel-shapes WITH lines in or different, odd shapes. Because languages can be irregular.
I've always meant to expand it to an entirely new language, with different words and the like, but never got round to it . . .
Ahahaah
Derek-kabob
Today was chorus
My code is perfectly logical as well. And it is vaguely cryptogram based, but not exactly.
Cryptograms are where one letter (or symbol) stands in for another. Like this:
JBTPQ-SEVPFQ
I'm not telling you what that said.
It seems, Fabi, that all I do is say thanks to you . . . XD
Square with an X in, square with a + in, <>, horixonal rectangle, <3 with an X in, spiral, sqiggle, space, triangle with a + in, <>, O with an X in, <3, /.
Yes, then, cryptogram-based. :)
One day, it shall be a language! I hope! Okay, it's a faint hope!
It can be like German and stick to the rules, only even more so, NO irregulars, which'll make it easier. :)
Hi, Zaf!
Mine is sort of cryptogram based. Different combinations of =, |, _ and - mean different letters. However, all except _ can be letters by themselves, so there's a bit more to it.
There are also several variations:
=|||-||||:|==||=_:||==|||~||||:||||~|~||=||=|==||==:|||||~|||~||||-!
<>, horizontal rectangle, vertical rectangle, dot, <3 with a + in, horizontal and vertical rectangle together, dot, <> with a + in, <>, horizontal rectangle, ///, square, <>, ///, triangle, dot, spiral, square with a + in, <>, <> with a + in, <> with a + in, dot, *, square, <> with a + in, triangle, dot, square with an X in, square with a + in, triangle, |||, O, *, <> with a + in, vertical rectangle, big ///, <3 with a + in, |||, <>, square with a + in, dot, square with a + in, <>, dot, square with a + in, big ///.
. . . Your code is utterly confuzzling. D:
Before I invented my code I used to use the Gnommish code, out of the Artemis Fowl books . . . I still know all the letters to that off by heart. :)
But the Ys, though are CRABS. Honestly. How long is a letter meant to be able to take to write?
Your code, Fabi, reminds me of the code in Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code. Took so long to read that one. D:
Gtg, brb!
I think mine is easier to type...
Yolo sinneoreto
EPIC FAIL!
Never read Artemis Fowl, so I don't really know. See you!
Will be very distant, evil code plan.
Hi, Brave!
Oh Well. Hahah :p! Brother= In trouble.
DID I ASK YOU GUYS ABOUT IF I SHOULD DO 5 A-LEVELS OR NOT?
Sorry I disappeared. I was reading Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief and crying over Moments...
I am making a code with myself. YAAAY! SO!
[Shrugs] You didn't ask me, anyway, and I don't exactly understand your British education system, so you probably shouldn't.
It's ok, Mara.
Still distant...
o...m....g! You are reading Percy Jackson! OMG that is an awesome book i wuv it!#
Mara are you Irish?
Indeed I am, Brave. Conas atá tú, mo chara? :)
Okies Boi!
tá mé go maith gor raibh MILÉ maith agait. (probs didnt spell that right)

Ah well 1 of 10 ill have signed xD better then none! And its my American one hopefully Derek doesnt forget to send it back
Busy is probably a good thing.
I'm pretty busy too lately. It's dance performance week for me.
Awesome Em! :) You can be guarenteed I'll have a copy :)
How's the rewrite going?
ZAF, I THOUGHT THEY'D FINISHED CF FILMING!?:S
*hasn't had time to tweet you back*
I actually need your advice on something...
I've started the final rewrite of Dublin Daes. And after this rewrite then I start the publishing submissions to try and get published...
What I want to know is...
Is it a good idea to delete the DD blogs now since I will probably have to delete it anyway when and if it gets published...
Apparently there is still last minute filming Luce
I've only started Fabi but I added nearly 200 words already so I guess some progress is better then none...
Mara lives in Tipperary, richtig?
Whenever I hear "Tipperary," I hear that song in my head, "It's a long, long way to Tipperary . . ."
And then I hear Artemis Fowl saying, " . . . and a few more miles to Dublin."
"It's a long way to Tipperary, he thought, and then a few more miles to Dublin." Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox. :)
OH MY FINNICKING GOLDEN GODS
OH MY JOSH
ZAF
OMG
ASDFGHJKL;
THIS IS MORE AWESOME THAN THE FACT THAT NEXT MONTH I GET TO READ ABOUT SPARX'S CHARACTER IN TEOTW XD
I don't know, Em.
I haven't even been able to start the second, and I think there are some Bloglandians who haven't even finished the first...
I really don't know, sorry.
DAMMIT, MARA CAME BACK AND SAID IT FIRST. XD
I went and flicked through Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox to check I'd got the quote right. I had, of course, because I am an Artemis Fowl expert.
HI EM!
I don't avoid talking to you . . . I DO have a tendancy to start ignoring people when there's more than one person on and people aren't distant, but it's nothing personal, I do it to everyone. :(
That depends. Is it likely you will delete every other copy of DD you have? If not for my blog, all my stories would have been lost for eternity when my memorystick broke.
Csgd/Msd.

YAYNESS, FABINESS!
Em might need an army if she beats Derek with DD he may spoon her xD but then again if i fly to Ireland and spoon him first we may be okay
Zaf...I just came back and your talking about spooning people...? Odd ...
I dedicate this page to Dublin Daes, good luck getting it published, Em.
To codes and more codes, because codes are fun.
To my dance classmates, we can rock this recital week!
To the MC collaborators, and Death and Mistical for being my audience.
To Mycroft and his umbrella, because MAHU.
To Hayley Westenra, because she's a wonderful singer, an I love listening to her songs.
To my little sis for making an awesome collage of me as a ninja.
To Rufus, poor little doggy, hope you find your way home. I tried to help...
To neon green shoes, because they're cool.
Yes indeed Star! :) IT'S A LOOOOONG WAY TO TIPPERARY! :D
Awesome ded Fabi! :D *hugs*
Thanks, Mara [hugs back]
It's a long long way to Tipperaaaaaaaaaaary
But myyyy heart's, right there!
*frowns* No, Mara, this does NOT mean you are my heart . . . Being a heart is really hard work anyway, and you can't have a break for a minute or you get attacked. :)
(In ordinary language, the heart has to work very heart to pump all the blood around your body, and if it stops pumping, it results in a heart attack.)
AHHH NOOOOO!!! *screams* *runs into bathroom*
Nonononono. I... No! I've got a spot! I WANT TO STAY YOUUUUUUUUNG!!!!! GO AWAYYYYYY SPOT! AVADA KADAVRA! I WANNA BE TWELVE FOREVER! *starts scream-singing Forever Young by 1D*
*my heeeeeeeeart's,
Helllooooo
Msd.
Mara, I'm sure you'll survive. :)
Helloooooooooo, Bravo.
Admit it he'd be proud but yet his ego would get in the way
In case anyone's interested, on Maths 4 Real they found out that there was no correlation between having spots and cleanliness.
Ok guys. If anyone can explain when and why and where Derek ha his next signing thated be just great!
