Just to let you know that World Book Day is this Thursday (well, it is in this part of the world, anyway) and to celebrate Alex Barclay and myself will be holding two events. The first, in Kildare, is pretty much sold out, but the second one is in Easons in O'Connell Street, Dublin, at 6 PM. We'll be there, talking about... stuff... and books... and writing... and, er... annnnnyway...
Because this is somewhat last minute, I'm not expecting that many people to turn up to the Dublin event, which means it'll be a lot more casual and chatty than usual. If you're interested, get in touch with Easons to reserve a place, and we'll see you there.
Toodles.

Hey, Eve.
*hums and crashes into hammock that definitely isn't Adra's*
Hey people!
Adra has her own hammock?
That's cool.
Hi, Mist. :(
Hey Missy! Hey Sparky!
What's with the sad face?
Oh. Sorry, that was supposed to be a happy face. I'm using less fingers today. Here:
:)
Check your email, Miles.
Hah, alright then. :P
McKay, Rachel.
...
Wow.
*Mmkay.
*giggles*
True happiness comes from smiley fritz. *nods wisely*
McKay... *shakes head*
.. Kirsty McKay!
She's a person!
An author, no less!
Kay.
Get it?
Kay?
McKay?
...
Shut up.
*finds Miles' comment completely hilarious and ends up rolling around crying with laughter*
...Well then.
Anyway, I'm obviously too tired for my own good.
Night, guys!
And if anyone sees Adra you need to tell her that I have a date, cause she might die.
Later, dudes!
Adios.
Bye Sparky!
Bye Sparky!
What kinds of trees do we have in Blogland? If they can carry such big treehouses...
They are known as the Big Trees of Blogland.
I think.
Big Trees...sounds pretty exotic. I like it. *knocks on tree*
Excellent.
I think the ones in the forest may be different.
The Big Glowing Trees of Blogland or something.
Or perhaps not.
They don't speak much.
I just finished the book.
I'm not going to say anything, because I know loads of people haven't read it yet.
But I've spent the last hour screaming and crying in my room.
And I'm now emotionally damaged.
It's okay, Dau.
Well, actually, no it's not.
It's as bad as you know it is.
I'm really failing to be helpful here...
You know a teenage girl is definitely sick when she tells her parents that she's going to he at 9.15 pm on a Friday...
*laughs*
Join the club, Dau!
*narrows eyes at Big Glowing Trees* I'll get it out of them one day.
Dau, what's wrong? :(
It's not okay. On any degree.
But thank you.
I sucked at making other people feel better, as well.
Now I'm just feeling sorry for anyone who has to read it.
Hi, by the way. (And err, I read your part. Sorry about..)
Anyways.
Oh, wait, I know what's wrong. XD LOL!
Hi Death! You're going to what?
Oh please, don't be sorry. It was hilarious.
Hi, Death.
Hi Missy, and Eve, and Death as well!
Wooo, all Aussies on right now (feeling the patriotism)
Oh good Zath - I was...shocked. Good.
I've got the worst damn flu... Don't spoil the book!!! I'm half-way there!!
Yep, zipping my mouth shut right now :)
Yes, still a spoiler, guys. *pets Death's uninfected hair*
If it says the identity of the Golden Eye-d lunatic, I already know. It kinda mentioned who he was a while back in a an earlier book! *Laughs and shakes hair*
Did it, Death?
Email me.
I'm stealing that request...email me too!
OH MY GOD DEATH IT DID NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't be doing that to me, cause you'll just break me again.
Oops, must go have a shower.
And cry.
Pretty much crying in the shower.
Byee! :)
Hi Memerald! *hugs*
Just think happy thought, Dau. Think of head-stealing goblins.
*Laughs* It did. I'll email it to you to, Eve! And I'll send it to you Em!!
*waits worriedly for email*
Oooh me too Death!
(dausketch@gmail.com)
Eve, have you read the book yet?
Actually, can you email it to me too, please??
(Sorry, incredibly distant)
Yeah, I've read it. I wouldn't be anywhere near here if I hadn't. *laughs*
Ah, yeah. Fair point.
*Chuckles nervously* It's him, isn't it? It's one of the hims. Please don't actually tell me but it is, isn't it?
Death, just go and read, your mind will be put to rest then, and we're not saying a thing. xD
Not saying a thing, Death!
*Is totally not hating you all right now* Eve, you know how much I love you, yeah...?
I AM NOT GOING TO EVEN READ WHAT WAS JUST SAID.
*screams in terror*
No
ADRA
RACHEL WANTS ME TO TELL YOU
And you too, Zath. I love you all and I'm definitely not repressing my urges of murdering you in... Unpleasant ways! *Grins*
SHE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND NOW
TELL ME WHAT
I CAN'T LOOK UP
SPOILERS
I know, Death.
I know.
I know, Death, I know. We're you going to tell me that you love me even more? *smiles innocently*
OH MY GOD
OHMYGOD
OHMYGOD
SPARKYYY
I SHIP
HOW
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE GIRL
Yuck. *were
*Hugs Eve and grins* I love you so much, Eve! It makes thoughts of killing you so much more... Entertaining.
I DON'T CARE, ZATH- I'M HAPPY FOR HER AND I'LL SHIP WHOEVER SHE LIKES BECAUSE- UH- YEAH
Awwww. *hugs* I love you too, Death.
I KNOW THAT MAKES SENSE AND I'M HAPLY FOR HER TOO I JUST FIND IT ODD THAT YOU'D CALL IT A SHIP ALREADY
BUT WHATEVER I GUESS IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER
Okay. I'm going to go read this chapter, *looks at Zath with a smirk* and try not to pass out.
Good luck, Death.
Ay- even if I /did/ care about who she dates, it isn't my decision... So I ship whoever she likes, because- yeah. :3
I NEED A NAME
Shhhh... Not a word
Bye, Death!
It wasn't about the book, Adra - she said that if she laughs she coughs and when she coughs she goes lightheaded. So yeah.
Still.... I thought I saw you guys talking about something earlier... So I'm specifically not looking at anything...
But okay.
*sneaks up behind Zath*
*places a skulcake on his head*
-sighs-
Adra, who let you on the Internet?
*hits Connor with a pan*
Hi Connor!
Hello.
It's Dylan.
Yes, I changed my name, please no flaming.
I know. XD
*takes the skullcaps down and eats it*
Yo, Dylan.
Hello, Zathract.
Yayyyy skulcakes!
Connor you never did explain what the whole mind thing goes for now... I have no idea.
Back.
Hellooooo :)
Hiya, Dau.
Hey Dau >:D
_and he goes quiet_
Well then
Hey Zath :)
*hits Tumblr in the face with a spatula*
LET ME UPLOAD THIS GIF THIS POST IS GOING TO BE HILARIOUS
Hey Adra!
*aggresively shoves electric beaters into Tumblr's face*
Um.
You're such a pacifist, I can tell.
*Is definitely not going to pass out from coughing* *Waves*
*gently strokes Tumblr's hair*
It's okay now. I put it in a text post.
Ahem.
I probably could not smack anything except for doors, (sorry doors), but HERE I AM FREEEE
Hey Death :)
Adra - yeaaaaah.
Someone tell me never listen to Zath. I almost died. I was dying for the past while... *Calls out* ZATH YOU ARE EVIL!!
Hi Dau!
oh by gods DAU.
Best thing ever: Blurred lines is a catchy song in the same way Ring around the Rosie is catchy until you find out it's about the plague
I learned from the best, Adra.
You and your frying pans...
Blurred Line is about... That...? *Makes mental note to never sing that song again* Thank god for wiki...
I'm technologically challenged. My brother isn't. That is what the male species is for. Fixing technology. Fixing cars.
That's it.
(Joking, jokign!)
I'm serious though- my computer wasn't charging yesterday even though it was plugged into the computer.. It turns out the second part of the cord wasn't attached to the first part of the cord. In my defense, They were midst a big pile of wires...
If by "that" you mean the "not good kind of that one thing" then yes
Yes, I did mean that kind of "that"... And now I have it stuck in my head... And drugs are making me lucid... I'm going to have dreams - weird ones - about that song... I NEED JERSEY IN MY HEAD!!! *Starts humming the melody*
Update on my knee, though- it still hurts like hell when I bend it a certain way.
Deffo not broken... My mom thinks it'll be fine in a few days
OH WHAT A NIGHT *sings the Four Seasons loudly*
Sorry, I'm back.
I mean, sorry I'm back.
Hey Eveeeee
Blurred Lines is about whores. Not to be provocative, but if women are going to sell their bodies, they should at least be degraded to some point.
Rose, did you see Miley Cyrus' performance at the VMA's?
Best performances of the night were Katy Perry's and Lady Gaga. Keep going, Gaga. I think you're losing more clothes over the years... c:
What you think that every prostitute in the world wants to be?
Some people are put into the business by being kidnapped, maybe. Some have to to keep their children alive- as a last resort.
That's like saying women deserve to be raped because they are wearing "provocative" clothing, or that it was the man's fault he was tempted.
-_-
No I did not. I was alseep all day today and I've had no wifi for the past few days beforehand. I'm rather... 'Out of the loop'... Wee! Drugs are making my head spin!!
Okay, good mood nose dived. I'm actually leaving. And I don't know when I'm coming back. The past two weeks has severed my connection with this place so... Yeah.
Bye.
Well, that's not exactly what I was getting at.
Women used to wear short shorts and crop tops to look sexy. Now they just wear it because it's comfortable.
Which has nothing to do with prostitution, I guess. .-.
I guess I probably should be calling them whores. -thinks-
Sluts? (Because that's so much better)
And I was saying that the word "whore" was provocative, not their clothing, which is, conveniently, also provocative.
Bottom line, the song is about mistreating women...
Whem.
Let's just drop it, then. :P
Bye Rose... *hugs*
And, no.
Sexual assault and prostitution are both completely different entity's. They correspond, yes, but they are kind of the opposite.
*nods* I know- I got off topic from what my original point is.
WHich is that I don't like that song.
BUT ANYWAY.
*hits Connor with a paint filled water balloon*
But do you like my song?
-does a hand stand against a tree and starts twerking-
OH MY GOD DYLAN WHY
Hey Aaaaadraaaaaaa.
Welcome, back, Death!
Eve.. Help
Hush, Adra. It'll be okay. Just cover your eyes and ears... *shivers*
*curls up next to her* noooooo
Lol but in all honesty, I give some credit to Miley.
She tried to be herself.
She failed horribly, and is now more infamous than Lindsey Lohan, but she tried. c:
Yeah... That is true. I did like at first how she was herself...
But now? Uh
Listening to Mayday Parade always made me feel grateful for what I had. It made me feel like there were people out there who had it worse. Who lived life only to be mistreated and abused. Now it makes me feel like they're singing about me.
My life has turned to shot recently, I don't know why. Luna and I are no longer friends, my older brother always verbally abusese, my uncle is on the mend (which makes his being in here sound strange, it's just stressing everyone out) and there's so much more.
I know I have way more crap than a lot of people. I saw too many people in Melbourne who were homeless and begging for food and money. I have money and I have food. I have a roof over my head as well, but it seems, almost, as if they're somehow happier.
I don't know when my life actually stopped getting better and begun to get worse. It must have been quite a while ago... It must have been quiet and cunning about it too. And I don't remember the point to this paragraph...
But the point of this little comment (big comment more like it....) is because I've had enough. It's true that I'm 'gone beyond repair', it's true that I'm 'miserable at best'. Hell, I've always known. I've always brought you guys down with me so, to make everything a whole heap better, I've come up with a solution! It involves a rope and a tree. There has to be a special knot in this rope too! One I've perfected! A noose!
So... Yeah! That's kinda the option I'm taking here! It's what I'll do! It's easy and necessary! Bye.
And I actually like that song.
Again, no flaming.
(I at least liked it until I saw the video)
Sorry, I'm back-
FUCK SHIT FUCKING TITS ON A ROBOT DICK
I feel so lazy Adra xD i just woke up but in my defense the alarm was going off for no reason so i didnt fall back asleep easy
I MADE LIKE A METRE LONG PARAGRAPH ON WHY I LOVE ROSE AND ALL THAT SHIT
AND THEN MY INTERNET CUTS OUT
FUCK YOU INTERNET
(i love woo, jks)
*sighs* Rose, don't do this again. You're better than this- you know you are. You don't have to do it.
She's fine Zaf
Alexis, I mean
Death, the only way you've brought us down is when you write those comments.
The comments where you say you're going.
But then we get back up, and drag you along with us.
Because we care for you, and we love you.
And no one is 'beyond repair', because how many times have you said that, and we've helped you?
Tell me, Death Rose.
Do you remember the promises you've made?
Do you remember the friendships and the good times you've had here?
Because although you may think most of your life is shit (and I know it's hard for you), what about us?
What are we going to do with our Death Rose?
Ah alright is she allowed back to the treehouse?
Death, no. :( There's still a point. If your life is spiraling down, then this is your opportunity to see things that you haven't before. Ugly, fascinating things. And you might become a whole new person too. :) Please, Death, if not for anyone you know, just to see what it's like.
*without
((Yeah, Zaf))
((Right imma wait til later because in all honesty Death is once again doing it!))
*Laughs in shock* You don't think I will do it? It may be dark but there is already a noose in my wardrobe. It's only me at home. All the others have gone to the holiday house that's an hour and a half away.
I will show you that I will end my life tonight, Zafira. Thank you.
Death...
Please.
Don't.
I can't stand you doing this, no matter how many times you say you'll do it. It's always as bad as the first. Even worse, sometimes.
So, please...
I don't want to lose you.
I'll lose it.
You know Death cut it out. Just stop. I spent a whole god damn morining with Ari and Derek and Adra talking you out. Really? You cant just suck it up? It only proves selfishness you dont care what happens to others or you just are seeking attention or maybe you truly want this but you know its annoying. I cant stand coming on and once a week whn you are on you wanna die. Come on really? Whats the point? Its far from good and its fairly stupid. 'I'm going to hang myself' for what? Because you want to? You say it so much it gets tiring. You want to everytime GOOD happens so to me you seem to yearn for bad. So yeah just stop dont do it save everyone else and yourself the pain.
"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."
Death, maybe if you look at yourself from a god's eyes, at every ugly flaw and everything that destroys you, then you might see why no one wants you to go. It's...it sounds a bit plain like that, but I've found something really beautiful about horror, and...Death, there are a million different ways to look at things, and you can still look at something negatively while staying positive. It's worth waiting for.
Now im leaving because i dont think she needs the attention she is getting its all she wants is attention
If there was one fear that I have, that truly, DEEPLY scares me?
It's non-existence.
The thought of dying, but not being sent to heaven not help.
Being sent out to oblivion.
But then what?
No one else would know.
Not even you would know.
Because you don't exist. That's what scares me.
These things will make you smile.
Otters hold hands so they don't drift apart.
Spiders can't fly.
Thank God.
It's practical AND touching. :D
They catch themselves on air currents. :D
Butterflies taste with their feet.
A penguin was once knighted in Norway.
So when they land on your arm, they are deciding if you're worth devouring. :D
Blind people smile even though they haven't seen one. It's human nature.
<3
...I have nothing for that. O_O
You mean people who were born blind. :D
Despite there being a 1 in 40 million chance of a sperm meeting and egg... You were born.
Ew.
The voice of mini and Mickey Mouse got married in real life.
It was a publicity stunt. :D
Go shag her then Connor maybe that'll stop her go do it with her
Gene Cernan wrote his daughters initials on the moon.
Those initials will be there for tens of thousands of years.
A group of pugs is called a grumble,
When you were born you were the youngest person on the planet.
Zafira, that's just inappropriate. Watch yourself there.
Zafira, GO FUCK YOURSELF.
You're being a really insensitive cunt right now.
Sorry Eve but i thought it'd help! I dont live down under so
I mean
NO SERIOUSLY
WHAT THE FUCK
FUCK YOU ZAFIRA THATS CROSSING A FUCKING LINE
No, Zafira.
Maybe Rose isn't the one who should be on that end of the noose, Zaffy. ;)
When puffins mate they mate for life..
That one is... A little weird.
What do you want Connor? She always wants this so I cant say much more because if I do it'll insult her a lot so I'm keeping my mouth shut :)
A baby puffin is called a puffling.
Zafira, if that's what you think "keeping your mouth shut" is...
Insulting me doesnt work Connor. I dont give two craps what you say I really dont I'm above caring for insults
*squeals* Puffling!!!! :D
Rats laughed when tickled.
But why the fuck would you touch a rat anyway?
I am holding back a lot and I know most hate me deep down so im gonna go eat breakfast now
They laugh because HA! You just got PLAGUED, motherfucka!
If that's how rats speak, then God help us all, but.
You should probably eat it out of a trough, because you're a filthy whore.
(Yes, yes, I know, Miss Rule-The-World, you are "above insults")
Or not....right deds
I dedicate this page to Rose. Sweetie stop it please. Dont leave Connor behind we need you here. Even Derek because he loves Aussies and their accents he loves you and all of us do....Dont make me go by Ari and split airfare to go to Aussieland and knock sense into you cuz its kinda HOT there...
*purses lips* Guys. This is getting a bit nasty.
That makes me so fucking pissed.
Who the FUCK asks someone to "shag" someone when that someone is suicidal?
I mean, just because you've sucked off everyone in your grade doesn't mean you have to insult other people, Zaffy-Boo.
Im slightly worried.....she hasn't spoken since like 9:13 (my time idk what it is by the rest of you)
I'm going to try playing "Fury" with my electric toothbrush when it gets a new battery. It's gonna be awesome.
Zafira, fuck off.
Don't ask me to shag her to make her feel better and then come back on all dandy.
Go suck off one of your brothers. Again.
Connor just shut up now its tiring I get insulted enough I dont need it from some kid I barely know cut. It. Out. You want Death back go try I'm worried its been 30min
Guys.....shush. Fury's on.
No, seriously fuck off.
You asked me to have sex with Rose, when she's suicidal.
WHAT. THE. FUCK?
Bitch.
-sits down next to Eve and watches Fury-
By the way, this "some kid" happens to be 17.
Again sorry I poofed
Adra, in all honesty, I think that Rose did it...
-curls up-
I can't think of her family coming home to see her hanging...
It makes me want to vomit.
