World Book Day Yay!

Okay, about to get in the car and drive to Kildare for my event with Alex Barclay, but I was checking my emails and wandered onto the Facebook site and saw this...


I hope Karina Hauge doesn't mind me posting her picture here. I just thought...

... wow...

A signed book to the first Minion who gets Skulduggery tattooed on their FACE!

EDIT

And since posting this I've received one or two messages from young and impressionable Minions who are saving up to do just that...

Don't! It was a JOKE!

Getting a tattoo is a decision that stays with you YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!

The last thing I want is to be in the middle of a signing somewhere and an angry mother hauls her son/daughter up to me and says "Look! Look at my daughter's face!"

I'll nod and smile politely, because I am a polite person, and I will say something along the lines of, "What a lovely young lady she is."

And then the mother will start shaking the poor girl. "She has. A tattoo. Of your character. ON HER FACE."

And I'll peer closer. "Is that what it is? I thought it was a freckle."

"It takes up her ENTIRE face!"

"I thought it was a big freckle. Are you going to sue me now?"

"YES!"

And that's when the ninjas attack.

I may be letting my imagination run a LITTLE bit wild, but you get the idea.

DO NOT GET ME SUED.

Awesome dedication, Cassidy. :3

Hiya, Star! :)

Star Inkbright said...

I appear to be doing that thing where I breeze in, hammer down gazillions of irrelevant conments nobody cares avout, then breeze out again soon afterwards. I imagine this could be incredibly irritating - apologies. :)

Luciana said...

Also, awesome ded Cass! Loved it:)

Mary Contrary said...

Star: I do similar, except rather than a breeze, I manage more of a gale.
In other words, I survive myself, so I can't imagine you could irritate me with that. :P

I am on my phone, so naturally many more typos are being formed than when I am on the laptop. Sorry.

Why I have become so incredibly formal all of a sudden is a mystery to me. :)

I might irritate you anyways. *shrugs*

My mind lost interest in typing this comment halfway through. (?) I have no idea whether what I'm typing makes sense, my thoughts just sort of drifted away . . . *frowns* LIKE WHAT THE HELL.

I'm terribly sorry, but if I'm tired I might as well gp to sleep . . . I feel really bad leaving you all. :( Sorry.

Hi... [Yawns] Daylight Savings Time is annoying. I'd just gotten off Chicago time, too.

Anyway, hi! I survived Creative Crafts of the World. It used to be my favorite class, and the teacher is awesome, but this year I'm stuck in the same class as Felix, Dan and Judy, who turn the place into a debate club and insult most of my favorite things. I made it out without hitting any of them, celebration time!

I would argue but I think that neither of us would give up and it would drag on. But just know- You are wonderful and I am glad that I ever had the opportunity to admin. I've gained a bit more confidence because of you and all the other admins. But none of it would have happened without you. You are amazing and we all love you.

Oh, so, you came up with the idea of sleep first, eh? :P

*hugs* Sleep well, then, Star. Bye~

At the very least, I can be cryptic. Mysterious for show is a bit of an oxymoron, since to be truly mysterious, it's better not to show. However, Shai has been making me watch Monty Python, and that includes the bit about not being seen.

They're SEVEN PLUS.

5-8 section? *snorts* That's for Rainbow Magic books.

They should be in the 9-12 or the teenage section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I go to a bookshop, I primarily look in the teenage section and also guve the 9-12 a checkout. :)

5-8????????? C'mon! That's ridiculous!!!!!!!! My brother, who is five and a half years younger than me, is older than that age range and the SP books are targeted at around my age ish!

Anonymous said...

Ok, Mara.

Distant also.

Aisling Dubh said...

No there were 3 sections excluding the adult section. Ages 5-8, ages 9-12 (where SP usually is and it makes sense for t to be there) and young adult.

And for some reason the Percy Jackson books were in the young adult section. Not where they normally are either.

It was a strange bookshop.

I use Rainbow Magic books to act out SP for my little sister who is a bit odd and is eleven and looks thirteen or fourteen and apparently we are supposed to be twins (though I don't see why Macey should be dictating that) and acts both seven and twelve and reads both Rainbow Magic and SP.

@Fabi: Bookshops are in ages, not school years. :) I've never even been to a school library that has books categorised into school years . . . :/

At most libraries I've visitted, they have a kids section and a teens section, plus a small box or sonething for toddlers. :)

Often they have just a few small shelves for teenagers though. *sighs*

The City Centre library has a whole teenagers room. :) Go them.

My school library has a fiction and a non-fiction - the fiction isn't age-divided. :) No point, we're all teenagers or almost-teenagers. My school library is my best library ever ever ever. *nods*

My school doesn't have a library. There's just some books in every class. There is never more than about 5 books that I actually want to read.

And I'm getting a bit old for the kids section in my library and I don't think it has a teen section. There might be a young adult section though. I'm not really sure.

You use them to act out SP scenes???????

I used to play with them on the stairs! They were people, and they had conversations, er yes, and I ordered them on different steps due to different factors . . . :) :) :)

Then when we moved house, I thibk that was when my game died out mostly. In this house we only have one staircase as opposed to three and the stairs are dark and meh. I think my enthusiam waned then, or maybe I just grew out of it . . .

After I grew out of Rainbow Magic, they often became boats for my Polly Pockets. :)

And when we made Shrinkies (you draw, colour in and cut out a shape on a piece of plastic, then put it in the oven and it shrinks and thickens), we always traced my Rainbow Magic books . . . :)

High school doesn't start til 14 here. Middle school starts at 11. Or junior high starts at 12...or maybe 13, I don't know!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Star and Fabi, if you want, I will email it to you :)

But it's, again, REALLY REALLY depressing. I wrote it when I was depressed and asdfghjkl messed up. So be warned.

But first I have to copy it, so I'll send it to you later :)

Up to you guys.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Did I scare everyone away? :P

Hungry now... Noodles? XD

Fabi is still here. Actually, Fabi is eating noodles! Nara guessed right! Well, it is noodle and tomato soup with some sort of bean added, but close enough!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*hugs Fabi*

It was ages ago. *shrugs* I'm fine though... :)

DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY... *laughs*

*Mara

Stupid autocorrect. Mara is a perfectly good name, why don't you like it, iPod??? Sorry, Mara!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Noodles are my food! XD

Stararar knows about me and my obsession with noodles... C:

The Harlem Shake! Wooooooo! XD

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Its okay Fab! :)

Glad you're okay. :-)

I haven't been fine in a while. I've been either really good or really not good. Actually, I'm fine now, so that statement really isn't true. Never mind!

Star Inkbright said...

I love this book. :)

Brill understanding of how people's minds work.

' "I want justice for her. Vegeance for what he has done."
The affect of these ringing words was slightly spoiled by the djinni blowing a loud raspberry. It rosem shaking its head sadly, as if weighed down by great wisdom. "It isn't justice you're after, boy. It's oblivion. Everything you had went up in flames last night. So now you've got nothing to lose. I can read your thoughts as if they were my own: you want to go out in a blaze of glory against Lovelace."
"No. I want justice."
The djinni laughed. "It'll be so easy, followling your master and his wife into the darkness - so much easier than starting life afresh. Your pride is ruling your head, leading you to your death." '

I like how Bartimaeus gets referred to as 'it' from Nathaniel's perspective. :) Because Nathaniel thinks he's an 'it', not capable of proper feeling. "Demons are wicked and they will hurt you if they can."
Whereas Bartimaeus always refers to demons as he's or she's. :)
But he doesn't look as humans as people, really. He doesn't 'it' them, but - "I haven't a clue what motivates most humans and care even less. With magicians it's usally pretty simple: they fall into three distinct types, motivated by ambition, greed or power." He doesn't see us as complicated beings with a multitude of feelings. He sees magicians as simple, motivated by one of those three things, not caring a fig about demons or anyone else, sucking up to those of a higher level, wanting comfortable lives, and that's about it. "I haven't a clue what motivates most humans and care even less" - he doesn't bother to find out any more. He doesn't want to be on Eart. He has to put up with magicians, why would he be interested in them?
Demons say humans don't care anything about demons' feelings, never want to find out anything about them other than that they need to know to use them, but demons are equally guilty - the only difference is, the demons are the slaves and the magicians are the masters, not the other way round. There's a lack of caring and understanding going both ways. Bartimaeus is one of the MOST caring about humans beings.

Yeah, just ignore me. :)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I'm actually really happy now! :) like, most of the time. I'm so hyper now though... XD

Really not happy? *hugs* :( I'M GLAD YOU'RE FINE!

Star Inkbright said...

I'll read it! :)

Yeah, hi. What we speaking about? :)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Wow, Star... *laughs*

What book is it? :)

Anonymous said...

That's really...interesting, Star.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Baby you light up my would like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the griund
It ain't hard to tell
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful!
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful! :)

Anonymous said...

[hugs Mara back] I keep remembering bad things. Nothing new bad is happening though...nothing super-big anyway, just the usual classmates being idiots stuff.

And I don't know what we were speaking about.

Star Inkbright said...

The Bartimaeus trilogy: The Amulet of Samarkand. :)

"That's really...interesting, Star."

It was a useless piece of information you didn't care aboout, but *shrugs* :)

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Heya Favis!

I"m so glad I can start calling you Favis properly again. It sounds like a cool real-life name (although
777 11 4 8 3-99 9 7 8 22 3
is a cool name too.)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*ground

It's stuck in my head... *laughs*

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Oh, and Favis, if you tell us what your twist is we can continue it for you if you want that.

Anonymous said...

Hi Ember! Thanks...

Star Inkbright said...

:( *hugs Fabi*

Of course classmates are idiots. :) There need to be idiots for us to appreciate the almost people, like *waves hand in Blogland's direction*

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Oh my god, Malicha, suddenly I have this craving to listen to WMYB now, even though I don't like the song so much. CURSE YOU BUT IN A GOOD WAY

Also, Favis, I have nothing planned plot-wise, so anything you decide to do is good for me.

Anonymous said...

And it actually was interesting, Star. I just can't completely wrap my brain around it.

And the twist would be really hard for you guys to continue. It involves 777 11 3 444 3

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Hey Ember! :)

I've reserved Gone in the library! :) I should get it next week :)

Anonymous said...

[hugs Star]

I suppose. Blogland is awesome! [hugs everyone in Blogland]

I seriously don't appreciate it when Dan, Felix and Judy insult stuff I care about, like Shakespeare.
[Stops self from throwing a temper tantrum by reminding self that Tara said that SP sounded like a cool book and might be going to read it]

Maralie Lily Charm said...

It makes me feel happyyyyyyyyyyy. *laughs*

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

For some reason, whenever Bliss the potato rolls by himself, I find it absolutely hilarious. I find it more funny than him even being a potato in the first place. The rolling... i just... I can't....

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Oh yeah. I really don't know that much about 777 11 3 444 3, or even what's really happening, so it might be too much for you to explain.

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :)

I'm sure it would make more sense if you'd read the trilogy. :P

:( Evil classmates. :(

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Although in the WMYB video, I always think it's creepy how they all like the one girl.

Anonymous said...

Okay, I'll email you two my idea. This will take a moment.
