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.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 4966 Newer› Newest»Hi Jubi!
So, snow is it?
How much are you supposed to get?
Well... it's supposed to be a LOT...
like around a foot...
NO SCHOOL!!! :D :D :D :D
No school is good! :-)
[Lifts foot and wiggles toes] Hey, that's a foot more than we're likely to get here!
Yay and congrats!
haha
xD
dear derek,
please bring skulduggery pleasant back to america. i pay 20$ shipping and handeling every time a new book comes out. i buy the hardbacks and the paper backs for the short stories at the end. thats alot of shipping and handeling!!!!
That is a lot... Huh.
I'm distant, writing a long-ish ded (yes Jubi, you're in it), so wbd and possibly msd if mom remembers its chores time and room-cleaning time.
Haha YAY I'M IN THE DED!!
speaking of deds...
what happened to the ded war..??
it kinda... died
xP
It died down. We won. :P
well then....
xD
[laughs]
I'm still deding to MAHU, and Ember is too (obviously).
Mel still deds to SPPB, but she's been on less lately.
But MAHU has, like a huge lead and apparently a tumblr page now. XD
O.O
they have a TUMBLR????
*sigh* strange strange people...
of course... I can't be the one talking...
xD xD
Ember set it up.
I don't do tumblr, so I really honestly don't care.
And yeah, you're really one to talk about strangeness. :P
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
of COURSE she did
xD xP
I dedicate this page to Emerald Melody. Nice name, by the way. Ugh, I'm changing the subject. I can't really think of anything to add to my ded on the previous page... Blogland doesn't want you to die.
I dedicate this page to Jubilance Glee to lift the mood and because she's awesome. Snow and chocolate! :D
I dedicate this page to Luciana Clover Scàth, who is wonderful (and 1Derful) and happens to have an awesome story blog called Skuttlebugia (If you haven't read it, do!)
I dedicate this page to Maralie Lily Charm, who is extraordinHarry, amaZayn, phenomeNiall, fabuLouis, brilLiam, 1Derful and I think there was another one but I can't remember it... Aaaanyway, she is amazing and gets to see One Direction, which is so awesome! Yay for Mara!
I dedicate this page to September Silver, Bliss the potato and Mycroft and his umbrella. Ember is really fun, and her MC chapters are usually preposterous (that's a really good compliment from a Glitchling) and exciting.
I dedicate this page to Aretha Tesla. Her MC chapters make me want to scream half the time, but you know what? I actually kinda-sorta ever-so-slightly miss them. Maybe a little.
TBC--I have to go clean my room now, but I'm gonna be back soon and I'll try to mention every other awesome Bloglandian when I return!
And yeah, it was Ember. Admittedly I started it though, with the website...
Anyway, gtg bbl! Bye!
BYE FABI!!!!
and thanks for the ded ^^
So so casual.
THRUST!!!!!!!!
hi.
NOOOO!! Come to NZ...
Ewww!! Valduggery romantic or not? If so,*throws up and makes a mess*
GROSS
Hi, I'm back!
I dedicate this page to Ieni the Ninja Aeroplane, who is simply awesome because awesome and ninja. [nods]
I dedicate this page to Sapphire Iota. Saphy is so nice and I miss when she and the other NZ/Aussiminions were still on summer break and here more often.
I dedicate this page to Star Inkbright, whose random speeches on random subjects are always fun to read.
I dedicate this page to Charisma Thorne, whose chapters are adding a quirky new mood to the MC, different from all the recently depressing war parts. Not that Charisma's aren't exciting or the others aren't funny, but going off to see a musical mid-scouting-mission? That's not something you find elsewhere.
I dedicate this page to Lavender Hope, whose presence in Blogland is much missed. Before, I wouldn't be surprised to find myself up this late talking to her. Now I am up this late writing a ded that seriously isn't worth staying up late for. Get some sleep already, Fabi!
TBC, possibly.
MORNINGS ARE STUPID
*got no sleep last night and just wants to go back to sleep*
Ugh, school .-.
I really should try to get some sleep...
And yeah, mornings are stupid when you have to wake up. They can be quite nice if you get to enjoy them instead of having to rush off to school.
...it?
Fabi, are you okay...? *hugs*
I'll be fine. [hugs back]
The fire nightmare... The replay. It used I happen all the time when I was little, but it went away for years. Then it came back after the fourth of July 2011, and I forced it away again, and it came back for a second time last month with the fire in my neighborhood.
Like I said though, I'll be fine. [hugs again]
*hugs Fabi tightly* I suffer from really twisted nightmares sometimes, too. They used to be all the time, until I accepted that everything in a dream, in a nightmare, is under my control.
Just like my life, I can make it what I want it to be. Now, they're becoming more rare... :)
Doesn't work for everyone, but it works for me...
Don't lose hope, things'll get better, so be brave<3
Thanks... I can control my dreams of I don't panic and freeze. They're so vivid, and I just...panic.
I can keep them down for a while, but every so often they resurface. I'll get rid of them eventually though. Fire has left me alone mostly this past year and a half. The dreams have faded in power a lot.
*if
It's good that yours are rarer. And thanks for being there to talk to... [hugs again]
I understand, it's normal to panic...
It took me so long for me to not wake with a start, and find myself with another anxiety attack, worried and terrified...
And, usually, it's the people I think care about me that I see in my dreams, that torture me...
But, *smiles* you need to remember that it's not reality. That it can't hurt you:)
It's more like sore memories at this point... And thanks for the advice. I think since I'm expecting it this time I should be okay. It's worst when it catches me off guard.
[Repeats to self] Not reality, not reality, not reality,
I really better try to sleep now, I'm up late at dance tomorrow. Night. [hugs]
*hugs* I hope things'll get better. <3
Anyone here?
Dear Derek.
Please stop blogging when I'm either:
a) asleep.
b) at school.
c) any time I'm unable to check the blog.
Thankies.
HULLO ALL!! IGNORE THAT FIRST BIT, I GUESS,
*I GUESS.
What, did everyone die? And I wasn't the cause of it?
That sucks. Honestly. I wanted to kill you all.
Is anyone there???
*calls out all over blogland*
*realises its been about 5 hours since the last comment but still hope s there'll be someone here*
Oh there is someone here.
Hello Valkyrie I can't remember which Valkyrie you are though. Have we met before. There are many Valkyries here it's hard to remember.
Are you still there?
If not is anyone else there?
Morning.
Annnnnd now my friend hates me for not bringing her to see One Direction. But she's now even my friend, so *stcks out tongue* to you Caitlyn :)
Hi Mara, Aisling.
Hey Ais, Fabigail :)
Wbd, homework.
*not
*sticks
*facepalm*
Distant as well and msd. Multitasking like a...multitasker.
Regarding which Valkyrie Valkyrie V. Cain is - she is THEE Valkyrie. As in, partner to the skeleton detective. She's just on a mission in America, and has to pretend to be someone else, but finds it to be more fun to pretend to be someone else pretending to be herself, because she's so clever.
AHAHAHA, i am so tired .-.
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?
Hi Fabi and Mara.
yolo peoples
Hi Luce and Chloe
hey guys :D
Hello, Aisling
Hi Melica
Hi Lucy. :-)
Hi Chloe!
(and Mara, I keep listening to Little Mix. Thanks for that!)
Mara was/is the 1D concert today or tomorrow?
Yo Fabi
Hello Ais!
Hello Chloe!
Hello Mel!
HELLO PEOPLE I FAILED TO SAY HELLO TO
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! lol
hello!
Hey Mel!
Hi willow
Hi everyone here who hasnt made their presence known to me
Everyone pops up just now. Hi Willow and hi anyone else who shows up in the near future, I'm getting sick of saying hi.
OMGG. *immense happiness*
You know when we had The Great Hunt For My Mum's Genesis CD So We Could Listen To Land Of Confusion and I mentioned Disturbed and we looked through the junk in the boot and yeah?
Well today my mum handed me the Genesis CD with Land of Confusion on it AND THE DISTURBED CD WITH LAND OF CONFUSION ON IT! OMGG! MY DISTURBED CD IS SO AWESOME! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!
. . . Admittedly, I haven't LISTENED to it yet, but it LOOKS awesome . . .
IT DOES! IT LOOKS SO SO AWESOME! *screams* I LOVE IT!
Judging from the cracks in the box, it may be second hand. *still loves it*
I'm so so happy.
It may only be Ten Thousand Fists, which isn't my favourite Disturbed album, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS TO BE INCREDIBLY AWESOME. :)
Now I have three CDs and no CD player because my sister has taken possession of it. Great. :P
My mum says I may need to negiotiate with her . . .
Hello Willow!
FABIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII *tacklehugs* HELLO:)
Yeah does this happen much? Hours of no one on and then suddenly load of people are on. Hi anyone else who comes on or who has come on and I haven't noticed yet.
hows everyone?
hows everyone doing? :)
Hey...I'm good Chloe and Mel, just on a mission to search for red velvet ice cream :p
And I have a Genesis CD, but meh. *gives it vague glance before putting it in a corner out of the way and continuing to gaze at Disturbed CD*
Anyway. Hi!
HELLO STAR!:)
Well, Aisling, school just ended, so we're all here now . . .
My arm aches, i had a jab the other day..... and i feel incredibly tired....
lets have a kiki!
I'm okay... Really weird dream about driving a carrot to in some sort of race, then flipping wildly off track because Bliss the potato kept trying to ask what on earth was goin on and I was too polite to say 'shut up.' So I ende up in this 1D concert in Skuttlebugia and then I crashed into the box that controls the sound... Well, it got ehhh from there, but the beginning was cool.
I am now trying and failing to detangle my hair.
Hello Star
Oh, and [is tacklehugged]
Star that's true.
I'm good Chloe and Mel how about yourselves?
Speaking of dreams I had had one of Skulduggery but I can't remember it >_<
Strange dream Fabi.
Gtg might be back soon not sure
Im ok but could be worst :)
Most of my dreams fit that category, Ais. And bye!
Why people rate songs more dangerous simply because they have swearing in them is beyond me. I think they should give Parental Advisory stickers for other reasons as well. Like what the song's about. Why Jessie J's Who You Are needs a Parental Advisory thingy and Asylum doesn't is a mystery to me. But oh well.
byii Aisling
Lets have a kiki!
Bye Ais..yes Chloe, let's!
SPEAKING OF SKUTTLEBUGGIA, wbd.
*grins*
Writing up something I started earlier... :)
It's... Awesome. *laughs slightly, then gets back to writing*
My concert is on Monday Ais(:
Apparently we've got great seats! I'm so excited :')
Can't wait to read it!
Must go...back sometime vaguely later.
In 4th Class, we had an amazayn teacher, Mr. C. He loved music and we all adored it too, so we made a band. The *ahem* Banana Punks. *grins* And today, we had a mini concert for old times sake. And I sang my Hallelujah and Someone Like You(: I really miss Mr. C, he was 1Derful...
My friend's started dreaming the future.
She told me this the day before the day before yesterday, and then she said that last night (well, the night before the night before last now) she'd dreamt the school was evacuated, like in a fire drill . . .
Then the next day the fire alarm went off and I was so freaked out.
Then this morning she told us she dreamt someone had to go to hospital so we should be careful in PE.
Then in PE we found out this girl we know was in hospital!!!
AGH Grade 6 violin class at the festival tomorrow D:
Bye Fabigail! :( *hugs*
Hey Luci, Star, Mel, Willow and Chloe! *hugs* :)
I was so freaked out, omgg . . .
Ive started to write a story, i havent decided if i should upload it onto wattpad though.
Im on my 19th a4 page so i havent written much
HI IENI!
Good luck! :/
Bye whoever left!
Hello whoever appeared!:)
*hugs everyone*
hey Mara *hugs*
STAR I USED TO DO THAT! O.o Once I dreamed I'd be obsessed with a website - Moshi Monsters - and a band - One Direction - and a book - Skulduggery - o.o SCARY STUFFS.
Hey Ieni! YOU'LL DO GREAT. If you're in it, of course...
Lucky! I wanna dream the future, it'd be awesome
how scary is this?
i have a fancrush on this character from an anime WOLFS RAIN, Toboe
my friend made me and herself along with the WOLFS RAIN characters and apparently toboe proposed to me,
Thanks Star and Mara:) Yeah, I am, but there's loads of good people and D:
Ah, my friend was doing palm reading today on me and this other friend. Apparently, I'm going to get married at the end of my life and only about 60% of people I meet like me.
brb, gotta empty dishwasher
My aunt went to a palm readers once. She was told she'd die in a few days.
She didn't pay.
Bye Chloe! *waves*
Msd.
What a cheery reading, Ieni! :)
But I don't get it! You're so awesome and likeable!
Wolf's rain I love that!...Palm readers, at least most, are just bogus
im back, toboe is my wolf from wolfs rain
*coughs loudly at what Star says* I may be awesome, but I'm not very likeable. It may be due to the fact I always end up accidently insult people...
Well, only idiots. I'm nice to the nice people, because they're nice.
Wbd - replying to blockage of emails including Mara's
haha ya toboe was cute, I don't quite remember all of the names, it's been awhile my fav character was the wolf with the scar on his chest
You're awesome Ieni

Hey, Aisling! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
I can't wait till comic relief
*is ningaeroplanetacklehugged*
I had to do a ceili in school today. Making 4 classes dance in the hall all at the same time with the other 4 classes around the edges should be against the law. There is NOWHERE near enough space.CHILD CRUELTY. The hall also got VERY VERY warm.did I mention VERY.
really Ieni? thats because Im quite literally unforgetable :) haha
I've still not even started typing this up...
Oops...
.-.
I do that in school Aisling, we do ceilidhs sometimes but I mostly just do social dancing which is virtually the same thing but its during P.E :D
The dancing I do is zumba, which i love. Cos i dont have to b flexible. Its all in the hips :)
And in a few days LitCologne!!! :D
Soooo excited, I can't wait for it!
(and because you're epically awesome)
I don't know what ceili are....
I know, I'll nod and go along with it and pretend I know!
I can't dance XD I'm so bad.
My comment vanished. Annoying. ah well I can't be bothered to type it out gain.
Ive danced all my life, we dance to sexy and i know it, gangnam style, cupid shuffle, back in time etc etc
*again
Ive danced all my life, we dance to sexy and i know it, gangnam style, cupid shuffle, back in time etc etc
Hate it when that happens Aisling:(
EMILY IF YOU'RE THERE READING BLOG YOU'RE AWESOME!
Sorry, my Skuttlebug friend has just been introduced to le Blog and epicness.
Leni a ceili is lots of people doing Irish dancing in pairs or groups. I do a summer camp some years and we do ceilis every day. Those ceilis are fun but in school not so much.
I use to irish dance, but thats going back some
That's as well as I can explain it I'm not great at explaining some things. Such as ceilis. I'm not good at explaining ceilis.
We got forced to do irish dancing in school.
I do ceilidhs but the Scottish version :D
IENI! D: HOW WOULD YOU... WHAT? THAT'S DISGUSTING! POOR HAZZABEAR!
Sounds painful. GAH VERY PAINFUL!
I Jeni dance. That is, running around in circles singing and screaming in your friends ears.
heheeheeee Mara I thought what Ieni said was funny! I wouldnt really like to be a cannabil but y'know...
I'M SORRY MARA D: Don't worry, I wouldn't really - I'm vegetarian:)
*sulks* WAIT TILL I TELL HARRY AT THE CONCERT! :P
Or, y'know, scream it at him...
For 7 years we did it every second week and then this year they decided to make 4 classes do it for half the year and then the other 4 classes are doing it for the other half. So m finished Irish dancing.
Some of my friends do it and they really enjoy it but its different in school. It's not good in school.
I used to welsh folk dance when i was in primary but not now
HAHAHAHAH, i have got nowhere with chapter 5.
.-.
WHY CAN I NOT WRITE IN ORDER!?
*I'm
WOOOO VEGETARIANS ARE COOL :D
My mother was going to raise me a vegetarian, then she came home from work and my grandad had given me the bone of the T-bone steak and I was nomming on it. I LOVE YOU GANG GANG!
Uh, I wonder why I call my grandad Gang Gang... O.O
.-.
HE'S UPSIDE DOWN! XD
I wouldn't be able to be vegetarian I love meat too much.
Same Ais c:
Meat is nummy. Like yummy, but nommy too. Nummy. Mhm.
Yes Mara it is. Well as long as its not horse pretending to be beef.
same Aisling :)
but I have a lot of admiration for vegetarians - because well I couldnt survive if I didnt eat any...speaking of which im eating spagetti bolognase :D
POOR HORSES! O.o
Haii!
hey Brave :)
I love spaghetti bolognese.
I know Mara the poor horses.
Hi Brave

Hey, Brave!

Well, I feel sick whenever I eat something that I know is animal, because of ugh.
Byebye, Chloe *waves*
Brb have to eat pasta nom nom
bye Chloe!
Enjoy your pasta Aisling!
bye Aisling :)
Bye whoever left!
Hello whoever appeared!
Sorry for being distant!
That's what I said at the start Leni. But then I found out that the horses might have been given medicine that isn't good for people so I'm kinda scared to eat beef now.
hey Luce :D
Oh the pasta isnt ready yet so msd.
Bye leavers!
