And the title of Book Eight IS...
Actually hold on, we'll get to that in a moment. I have another 15 minutes before I have to post this entry, at 9 PM, and I'm going to use that 15 minutes, dammit. Because I did things today! Things that deserve to be blogged about!
Well, I did ONE thing that deserves to be blogged about. This afternoon I interviewed Steven Moffat, head of all things Doctor Who and Sherlock, on stage at Trinity College, Dublin. I'm pretty sure it wasn't recorded, though, so you're just going to have to take my word for how brilliantly it went. I've never interviewed anyone before— I'm used to being the one interviewed— so it was very interesting to sit in the other chair for a change.
Mr Moffat turned out to be everything I'd hoped he would be— he's a nice guy and he's FUNNY. It was such an informal, casual conversation that it made asking him questions a breeze. I love the shows he makes, as did everyone there, and it was so cool to be able to talk to him about them and not feel like a total nerd.
And for those of you who are wondering, yes, I DID ask him for Karen Gillan's phone number. NO, he did not give it to me. But I think I broke him down sufficiently that all it'll take is one more chance encounter, and then wa-heyyyyy!
Ahem.
Okay, I now have seven minutes until I have to post this entry.
Oh, I'll be doing two publicity events in Ireland on March the 7th. At 10:30 AM in the Riverbank Theatre in Kildare I'll be interviewing (because I do it SO well) Alex Barclay on stage about her new book Curse of Kings.
Later that day, back in Easons in O'Connell Street at 6 PM, Alex and I will be doing... er... some sort of event. We haven't a clue WHAT we'll be doing, to be honest, but it'll be brilliant, and it'll be funny. I swear. Probably.
At both events, we'll be signing whatever you want signed.
Two minutes!
Okay then, here we go. This title has been in my head for years. EVERYTHING in the series has been leading up to Books Eight and Nine, and this is really where it all starts to build to the (hopefully epic) conclusion.
Prepare yourself for horror! Tragedy! Hilarity! Fights! Blood! Quips! Magic! Everything that makes life worth living!
Ladies and gentlemen, coming at the very end of August, I give you
Skulduggery Pleasant: Last Stand of Dead Men.

*watches Judhi*
Your boyfriend is a dickhead.
I know, it was terrible. Some say I should be... punnished.
*facepalm*
*stumbles away from Chester back to her own lab*
*Pulls cat beanie even further over face as she walks into the lake* *Holds her head underwater*
OH God..
*limps away*
((I dedicate this page to the girl I'm going out with next Sunday and to Miles being a butt cause he wouldn't take my ded. Thank you))
*grabs Connor from behind shackling him* Well I can arrange that.
((Wait is my head underwater or...?))
*raises glass* HEAR HEAR
Are you two on skype?
Oi, I've meant it every time before now when I've said that I can't dedicate anymore.
That last dedicate has been lingering in my Notes for five months now, and it needed to leave. Now I've got nothing, so deal with it.
*insert Moose picture here*
(Hear, hear, Sparky!))
We are, Adra.
((Course we are, Adra))
(Nope, my head.))
OKAY. After my lesson, STAY ON it's only for like an hour... I wanna converse with you guyssss
((Just making sure))
((And I've been stabbed so I don't know what to do now))
I'll try to stay on for as long as I can, Adra.
*sneaks into the bar and takes a glass of lemonade*
*wanders back out*
*glarees at Zath* You better, fool
*groans*
Fine.
*drops back into Chester and takes her to the medical bay again*

Don't yo go 'round callin' me a fool, fool.
*Mutters* Fucking Dylan...
*chews on the leaf*
Merry Christmas.
Hold on...
Going out with a girl as in a date, Sparky?
*shoots Zath*
*prepares to shoot Dylan*
Adra I got him!
((Pause))
Yes, Dylan.
Brb need to shower
*scowls at Adra again*
Yes, that's her, Dylan.
Okay. I have nothing against gays, just so you know.
If you'd prefer another term other than "gay", that's fine by me.
*laughs at Zath*
*puts down her gun* Good
*stiffens slightly*
I'm more insulted by you needing to say that at all than by the term you used.
*throws a fridge at Adra*
*dodges the fridge* Chill
And the quotation marks were unecessary.
And I'm fine with most slang terms but if I catch any of you throwing the term 'dyke' around casually I'll never speak to you again.
*Sinks into the lake*
*doesnt know Aussie words*
Whatevs
Coming from the girl who just shot me?
*coughPERSPECTIVEcough*
FRIDGES.
I remember fridges!
*examines fridge*
#ChaseForBookNine
*shakes head at Adra*
Dyke isn't an Australian thing and it's really insulting.
I don't plan on saying it and I haven't heard it, so...
*laughs at Zath again*
. . . Aren't dykes those things they have in Holland with water in so all the water that would be on top of the land is in the water so the land exists because naturally the land would be below sea level?
No?
#ChaseForBookNine
*scowls at Adra again*
Yes Ink, that's right.
But it means other things as well.
No, Ink.
It's an offensive term for a homosexual female.
Oh, it does mean that?
Right.
I'll just shut up.
@Sparky: *shrugs* Okay.
#ChaseForBookNine
It means both.
Another poor little word that has done nothing wrong being discriminated against and hated for no reason. :(
Right. Okay. Sorry.
#ChaseForBookNine
*laughs at Zath*
Msd for about forty minutes...
*climbs on a horse*
(Yep. Night. *Storms off* ))
Dyke is American slang for lesbian. It's ridiculously offensive and became more widely used because of Mean Girls.
Even I despise the word.
Hey, btw.
If Sparky wishes to go on a date with a girl that is Sparky's wish it is what floats her boat and that doesn't bother me in the slightest who she dates so long as she's happy
Kay, Adra.
Bye, Death.
Hi, Luce!
Btb food
-leaves because of Luciana's annoyingly long name, ghosting only to see Zathract twerk-
Could we stop talking about this please.
The only thing that makes me uncomfortable about my sexual orientation is when people go around justifying it for me.
*rolls eyes at Dylan*
I'm not at all sorry for the length of my name. I like it how it is and that's all I care about:)
Yo Mist.
Hello! *waves at Mushroom*
The thing is though - WHY should words be offensive? Because people mean them to be offensive and the other people realise they're meant to be offensive. It just seems unfair that a few words get picked on to communicate this offensiveness.
#ChaseForBookNine
Connor, he won't do it. I really can't stand to be on here right now... It's pissing me off. Just leave Zath alone, alright? He's like a brother to me.
@Mushroom: That's a very Morgan attitude. *nods*
Morgan is a character of mine who is epic. So it's all good. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Thanks, Death...
No prob!

I honestly don't care that Luna isn't on there... She's a dick head. So disrespectful to those who've died for us.
Back!
Mara - why don't you take a look at the ARCK posts, and see who you've missed? :)
There are quite a few that aren't listed there, but I doubt you would have met any of them anyway.
*twitches*
Rose, you can leave if you want.
Hey everyone, btw *hugs*
I got Our Moment and it smells 1Derful ❤ ➡
#ChaseForBook9
ARCK?
OH MY GOSH. *hugs Mara* THIS T-SHIR SOUNDS SO AWESOME! *hugs again* :)

@Zath: A Random Comment of Kindness. http://a-random-comment.blogspot.com/

@Mushroom: Good, because bus pass and Saturday. Slightly sad, because arguingness.
I just can't be bothered with any of it anymore.
But I'm mostly good, so it's good. :)

*frustrates*
I can hear my mum listening to news about Tony Abbott.
*eye twitches*
@Mara: I don't think being addicted to that perfume is bad as you'll run out soon (sorry), but in the long term, perfume addiction might be dangerous. However, you're not actually addicted, you just like it, so it's all good. :)
And - I DON'T KNOW. :P
And - yay for 1D happiness! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Honestly? I'm depressed, angry, hurt, stressed, oh, and heartbroken. So, I'm great!

#ChaseForBook9
Yay we're all on here!
Zath - :/ damn I have to go have dinner. Not tonight, I guess.
Luci, I'm sorry I fucked up making you feel better earlier:/
Mara - you're t-shirt sounds so awesome!!:)
Star - I have history 2nd period on Monday, both Week 1 and 2, too!
*ninjaeroplanetacklehugs Zath, Luci, Dragona, Star, Mara, Dau*
Msd.
#ChaseForBook9
@Dragona: Yes. :)
@Mushroom: :(
Remember that, if you're low on a scale of one to ten, things are much more likely to get better than worse, and they WILL change to something beacsue change is constant.
Also - *hugs* I'm sorry. Awesome people deserve awesomeness. :/
I would say more, but my brain is just drained out of emotional speeches. I've got to that point when you just want to disappear and pretend to be out doing something so that you don't have to make the effort to cheer people up, but that's a terrible thing to do so therefore, I have not poofed. :/
Remember that the good cannot exist without the bad, and that w should be glad of the bad for making the good be so strong and, um, good. Also, Adra always tells people to meditate, so you know, that might help.
Also . . . you know when you go into a dark room, and you can barely see, and then after a bit your eyes have adjusted and you can see things?
Even if nothing gets better, which it will. Even if the light switch is permanantly broken (which it isn't, beacuse you can replace the bulb and install new lights. But let's say you believe that the light can't be fixed or reinstalled), your eyes will adjust, and will cope with the dakr better than before.
Even if it doesn't get better, it will seem to get better.
And it will get better.
Wow, apparenlty I'm not as horribly drained as I thought I was. O_O Good to know.
#ChaseFOrBookNine
#ChaseForBookNine
@Ieni: Yay! :)
I shall have it then ALL YEAR. Yay . . .
@Mara: Yaaaaaaaaaay! *hugs* You and those other fans deserve it. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*has returned to the roof yet again, humming*
Star, there's a new part of my Mass Effect story up.
Back from dinner.
Oooh maybe I will have time for skype.
No, Star, you still seem to have your amazing speech skills:)
Hey, Sparky!:) Wb, Dau!:)
#ChaseForBook9
Welcome back, Dau.
Hello, Ieni.
*joins Sparky on the roof*
*looks at Miles*
Like I said before, it's nice up here.
*nods*
I remember.
*laughs* It's still raining...
*laughs and tilts head back*
I've only been blown up and stabbed since then.
A good day, when you think about it.
hello, why are we on this post?
*hums to myself*
We've all had worse, last year.
How are you feeling, anyway? Pain-wise?
Hello Edward :)
We're here because we momentarily shifted posts and we've found it difficult to move back.
@Edward: People were arguing. We moved to get away.
@Ieni: They're not amazing, but thank you. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I still can't feel my feet!
*tips her hat* yello
oh, thanks
hello adra
Wb, Adra :))
I'm so confused about Monday... i don't know what the fuck is supposed to be happening or where I'm supposed to go...
I'm so damn stressed. Why the fuck couldn't I just take an apprenticeship or be homeschooled or something?!
I thought Adra fixed that...

Hey, Adra. :)
@Sparky: Well, at least you can feel them most of the time. How would you like it if you couldn't feel anything, ever?
(Ha, Dragona, your Mass Effect fanfic is doing its work. :) Speaking of that, I'll probably read the new part at some point today.)
#chaseForBooNine
Dau did it, actually... Perhaps there are still some severed nerves. That's an easy fix though
Well she was supposed to have been growing back skin.
Luci: :( sorry to hear that.
*sighs* I think Alexis is awake
hello luci and zaf
I think it's just that my boots are wet, actually.
@Mushroom: :/ *hugs*
I don't have any answers. Or any tips. Or . . . yes. I'm pretty rubbish. :P
Just think, though. When you're old and dying, you'll want this time back. You'll wish you could be back now, even with all the stress.
. . .
That's what I think to myself when I'm bored. That when I'm older, I'll want the moment back.
#ChaseForBookNine
Sorry to hear that, Luce... Hopefully you'll get used to it, or things will get easier...
Thought you lost your boots as well...
Take deep breaths, Luce- everything will work itself out.
*nods smartly*
I think Alexis is awake but she cant speak....
Breath Luce it'll be easier its stressful now but looking back you'll smile
No, no, my boots are protected.
They're just even more scuffed now.
I'm sure you're real happy about that.
*is completely lost* okay
*considers it*
I am, actually.
Of course...
*lies back and looks at the sky again*
*rains falls in eyes and sits up again, scowling*
Star, yay!
Adra, there's a new part of my Mass Effect story.
@Zath: Sunglasses?
