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.

Goodbye, Star, Ez, and random person I haven't met before.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh god.

*lays down*
*cries*
NO I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW HAT WHY DID YOU MESSAGE MY PAGE
*envelopes float gently into Blogland, each one addressed to a different Bloglandian*
#ChaseForBook9

[Looks at the envelopes uncertainly]
#ChaseForBook9

*Holds the open envelope and hesitates*

#ChaseForBook9
*slithers back in under the table*
I made myself read the rest of it so I feel better not but I just want that book..
It's mostly because of the fan characters. I'm still upset, so, ah... Yeah.

Hey Alex *curtsies too*
Have we met before?
#chaseforbook9
Hi Alex!
Bye Ais!
Bye Aisling
hello everyone
Sorry I poofed momentarily, weirdness irl.
Hello Flora, Alex!
#ChaseForBook9
Adra, do you have time to read my story?
Hi Ed
Hi everyone who said hi to me!
Flora, I don't think so. I don't come on here very often.
Bye Ais!
[Curtsies because everyone else is]
#ChaseForBook9
Not now, Dragona..
Hi Alex, we havnt met either.
hi adra *runs into cave on fire*
Bye Ais! *hugs*
Sorry for disappearing, internet is stupid. Wbd
ALEX! *tackleglomps* Btw, I found another NZ Bloglandian!
Hi Ed! *Stares* Would you like me to put the flames out?
I guess I'll change my profile picture now because the ball seems to be over...
I've got chiiiiiiillllssss they're multiplying.
It's ELECTRIFYING
Hello, Gemma :)
Oh yeah, the ball...
yes please saph *runs in a circle on fire*
What do you think about that? xD
Mith; The ball's still going, I think. It officially lasts 49 hours :)
Alex; *Glares* Yes. The Ball. The one you invited me to, but you hadn't actually come to until today?
*Concentrates until a small grey cloud appears above Ed and pelts him with rain* I'm not drying you off though :P
Saph, well... hm... but the rabbit is wearing a dress and a hat. Does that count too?^^
thank you *rains forms into ice sphere which shatters*
Saph; Oh. But we can dance now, can't we? *Drags Saph to the middle of the dancefloor and starts twirling her around*
There, now I'm even dressed for the occasion@
It's so cute, Mithria!
Bunny rabbit! [Bounces around]
#ChaseForBook9
Wow... looks good, Alex! :)
Aw, thanks Fabi!! And thanks for the comment on my blog! I'm totally happy now:)
Mith; I love it! XD
Alex; that doesn't count as an apology -_-
... Although it's a good start at making up for it.
@Alex: Ohh, that'd explain it :P
Well, I'm Flora, though you can call me Flora/Flo/Ophelia/Lia or any other variation :)
#chaseforbook9
Sorry I poofed.
Hi then, Lia. Just call me Alex :)
Mith; Thanks. And I'd say that picture is perfect :P
Saph; Ok, I'm sorry.
Hi again Dragona!
Alex; Alright, I forgive you :) Nice tux by the way.
*watches from the side*
Hello Dragona.
*Finishes the dance and lets go of Saph* There you go.
Who's the new NZ Bloglandian you mentioned?
Mom keeps trying to get me to cut my hair... :-(
#ChaseForBook9
Her name's Cali. She mentioned she lived in New Zealand, so I asked where, and in the end we discovered that we've been going to the same school for three years, probably passing each other in the corridor everyday, and neither of us had any idea XD
Awesome, Alex :)
Need to disappear now - be back later! :)
#chaseforbook9
Fabi; Aww :( Just a trim or actually cut it short?
Fabi, I have to go to the hairdresser's tomorrow... I feel with you!
Goodbye Lia!
Fabi; How long is your hair?
Saph; That's creepy. Are you sure she's not stalking you? :P
Bye Lia!
Mith; I have to go in a few weeks, just for a trim. I hate cutting my hair :(
*appears* Hey, everyone!
#ChaseForBook9
See you, Flora!
Well, first she said just a trim, and I agreed to that to make her shut up, but then she said I should get three to five inches off... Which I will never do in a million bajllion years.
#ChaseForBook9
Sapphire, just pointing it out - but at the angle I had my laptop pointed at your picture looked to have a black background and an orange diamond in the middle and it reminded me of the Cerberus logo from Mass Effect. It's kind of an orange diamond so yeah. Not saying you're part of a military organisation that wants to elevate humanity into a position of power above the other races but yeah.
Or it might be because my mind is full of Mass Effect.
ARI! *tackleglomps* How are you?
Hello Aretha!
It's several inches below my shoulders...
Hi Ari! [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Dragona; *Laughs* Don't worry, it's just me in my dress XD
Fabi; :@ Mum tried to get me to cut my hair short once. I'm not often stubborn, but I told her that there was no way in hell I was cutting my hair!
I'm gonna have breakfast now. See you!
I'm good, thanks! How is everyone? What's going on?
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Dragona and Alex! *hugs*
Hey does anyone want a free heart? Mine is dead from FANDOM FEELS
Hi/Bye everyone
Ari; Just talking, really. I was dancing with Alex, but he's disappeared.
*sits at the side next to adra* guess ill have to wait till next year to dance with a guy :)
Adra; REINCHENBACH FALL FEELS! *Sobs* (It's Sherlock)
Huh? What is it about Sherlock??
Gemma I am not becoming a man for you
Why are you waiting, Gemma?
#ChaseForBook9
XD of course not, you're far to beautiful to be a guy.
*mumbles* wouldn't be the same anyway
Mith; It's a Sherlock thing *wipes tears from my eyes*
Adra; .... ROFL
Gemma, I could get Alex back on here and he'd dance with you.
I just got back and I hardly know anyone... I can't just walk up to a guy and dance with them, most of them have gfs anyway x.x
*Niall Horan appears*
Niall: Mara, what the heck?
*looks around*
*sees Gemma*
Ah. *walks up to Gemma*
A special someone told me you would like to dance with a guy?
#ChaseForBook9
BBC Sherlock? Or another Sherlock? Because there are so many things about Sherlock Holmes. Btw, I love all of them^^
Em...not a big 1D fan *turns away*
Thanks *rolls her eyes* I don't think that Trip would appreciate that very much anyway.
MARA CAN I HAVE MY OWN ONE DIRECTION MINION TO DANCE WITH ME TOOOOOOO
Mith; BBC :)
Mara; That's so sweet :D
Wbd, eating breakfast
Niall: *mouth drops open*
Love, I don't think you understand... Without the boys, I am not 1D. I'm just Niall Horan. The Irish one. So, would you like to dance?
#ChaseForBook9
I was complimenting you Adra... :-/
BBC Sherlock is fun. I haven't watched a full episode because it isn't on in Germany... ;_: But I saw some clips on youtube and I LOVED IT! :)
*sighs* may as well... *gets up to dance*
Oooooh *looks at Niall and Gemma*
Damn.
That's the one I liked.
I think.
I still can't tell them apart
(Go on, Gemma. What harm will it do?)
*rolls away* MARAAAAAA
*Liam appears*
Liam: *shakes head* Oh my gosh, I will never get used to that.
*waves to Adra* Would you like to dance?
#ChaseForBook9
I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING: MARA AND HARRY ARE GOING TO GET MARRIED!!!!!! *jumps up and down again*
Sorry, just had to say that again! :D
Niall: If you don't want to dance, that's fine... I mean, I... *falters*
(Adra - the blonde one?)
#ChaseForBook9
OKAY
*jumps up*
*Grins* *Pulls out camera* Mara, start dancing with Harry!
Is everyone here a directioner...?
((I think so, yeah. But I'm quite biased- blondes are kind of awesome! But not the stupid ones. Those piss me off))
(*hugs Mith*
Yeah (: I'm excited I guess..!)
#ChaseForBook9
@Gemma: I'm not, actually. I don't even know 1D very well...^^
And niall, its fine, sorry.
I'm actually not a Directioner, and I hate all pop music in general. Doesn't mean I still can't appreciate who they are, or like, how hot some of them are, just because of their music.
That would be ridiculous
I hate the dumb blonde stereotype, 'cause I'm sort of blonde. *Laughs* If you ask tree of my friends what my hair colour is, one will say dark blonde, one will say light brown and one will say in between XD
*appears* *offers hand to Aretha* It would appear all the others are pairing up. May I have this dance?
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs* Everyone goes to dance and I'm watching...
*highfives Saph* I think mine is a caramel.. Yeah. Caramel.
I don't particularly like 1D, but I don't particularly dislike them either.
Adra; If you couldn't, it would be a tragedy XD
HUNTITH
*smiles and takes hand* Sure!
#ChaseForBook9
Right? *nods* 80's rock is where it's at, yo. But all of THOSE guys are old. So...
*nods* Basically
*Snaps pictures of everyone dancing* Aww!
Mith; well, I'm not dancing either, so it's not just you :)
*laughs* Oh Adra... there is no chance that you will forget that, right? But Huntith doesn't help because only half of it is here...
DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE GUNS N ROSES CONCERT I WENT TO
It's okay, Mith, I'm watching, too.
#ChaseForBook9
EZTER
#ChaseForBook9
OH yeah? Half of Tadra has been here all day and since then I've danced with like four people
POLYGAMY
Adra; My friend is in an AWESOME rock band. They're thirteen and already are fifth in the People's Choice awards from across the whole country!
Hm... seems like I have to go now... I don't want to because it's just awesome being here... but I must sleep now. *sighs*
See you tomorrow! :)
[Laughs]
#ChaseForBook9
Bye mith.
WHAT? No. I'm still doing the video from a week or so ago! D:
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Mithy *hugs*
Saph that's awesome
Saph, Zaf, Zath. All of them
Bye Mith!
Fabi; ROFL
Bye Mith.
