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.

#ChaseFOrBookNine
Hi Gemma!
#ChaseForBook9
Oh god im gonna die.... *starts sweating*
H-hi trip...
Let's hope he doesn't find out Gem! :)
#ChaseForBook9
Hello, Gemma
Only a few hours left to the Ball...
Then the afterparties?
That reminds me.
*picks up some paint and makes a green handprint on the side of Trip's face*
You Americans/ Irelanders may not know this song, it's known amoung us Aussies and Kiwi's...
Although you’re getting on in years
And memories seem to disappear
Some things will never fade away
Some memories will stay
There’s one day in each year you will not forget
If this year’s your last year – we will not forget
One more parade – one less digger by your side
One year you’re marching – the next you ride
Hold your head up high – hold your head up high
Lest we forget – lest we forget
It seems a long, long time ago
A young man far away from home
Friends made and lost along the way
Some memories will stay
Those who died – those who live, you will not forget
If this year’s your last year – we will not forget
One more parade – one less digger by your side
One year you’re marching – the next you ride
Hold your head up high – hold your head up high
Lest we forget – lest we forget
The sound of cannon roaring by
The smoke and fire covered sky
The nights of terror as you pray
Some memories will always stay
At the closing of the day – a grateful nation will rise to pray
Some things will never fade away – some memories will stay
Not for one day but always – we will not forget
Your memory for ever – we will not forget
One more parade – one less digger by your side
One year you’re marching – the next you ride
Hold your head up high – hold your head up high
Lest we forget – lest we forget
Ah... I don't know that song.
Far Away does it for me, just about. *nods* That concert was glorious.
Um.... What did you do that for?
#ChaseForBook9
*looks at Trip face* *laughs slightly* *high fives Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
Good song, Death.
#ChaseFOrBookNine
It's an ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Core) song. All Aussies know it.
Hey Gemma, dance with me? Or did you ask me to come here for no reason?
*highfives Rhydian with the paint covered hand*
*laughs*
There was a bit of a paint war earlier and you weren't there for it.
*grins*
I have a very good reason...
@Gemma: It's okay, I've reswithced it on before and people haven't noticed. :)
I don't any more, though. I have to wait till I know people are asleep and I'm generally tired. :P
#ChaseFOrBookNine
*runs over to kor*
Yep yep... ;_;
Oh okay then Adra. *goes over to Gemma* I believe I owe you a dance.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods at Adra*
@Rhydian: *points at profile picture* That's what I look like, post-paint war. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh jesus Christ *is shaking*
Oi trip, back off bro. She asked me to post here specifically to dance.
In a minute trip ok?
@Gemma: It'll be okay . . . :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Gemma, what have you done?!?!?!
*walks in with hands in his pockets*
*spots Adra and walks over*
How are ya? Sorry I'm late, got a bit... restrained to a situation.
This looks like a bit of craic :)
@Star: lol. LOVE IT!
#ChaseForBook9
Kor, calm
Sorry about that, trip,
@Rhydian: *laughs* Thanks. XD
Hey Drew!
#ChaseForBookNine
DREW! *tacklejump hugs* BROTHER
WHY THE FUCK
THE BALL'S NEARLY OVER YOU BITCH. *pokes his shoulder*
Oh fine...
*Walks over to mirror and draws symbol* *Taps mirror and reflection comes out* *Both start dancing gracefully around the room*
Hi Drew! Nice to meet you!
#ChaseForBook9
Rose you genius
*Smiles at Drew while getting spun* Hi! *Spins reflection*
It can't be nearly over . . . It's not even midnight in the UK/Ireland yet.
#ChaseForBookNine
Of curse no problem. Sorry about that Korupted.
#ChaseForBook9
Mbd. Feeling a bit low
#ChaseForBook9
*holds out hand* well Gemma, shall we dance?
*Laughs* I'm only as good as my partner and she's pretty good, Adra!
Well pardon me dear sister, but I had more pressing issues at hand.
And this is my first Ball so I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about arriving and looking like a pleb.
Hello Drew. *shakes his hand*
#ChaseForBook9
Mhmm ^.^
*takes his hand*
@Rhydian: *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
Anyway . . . hello.
#ChaseForBookNine
*Stops dancing with the reflection and grabs Rhy'd hands* C'mon! Lets dance!
HELLO.
#ChaseForBookNine
Sorry Death. Not really in the mood. Sorry
#ChaseForBook9
*sticks her tongue out at him* DANCEEEEEEEEEE
Msd. I think I WILL leave when the wifi goes; I'm tired.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Ez: We dancing?
#ChaseForBookNine
Talking to me Ads?
#ChaseForBook9
@Hunter: I guess so. *dances*
#ChaseForBookNine
*Pouts* You owe me a dance later then... *Resunes dancing with the reflection*
@Ez: It's odd, how many forms of dancing there are, don't you think?
#ChaseForBookNine
Actually, to Drew. But to you as well Rhydian.
*taps Trip on the shoulder with her good hand* Ey
@Hunter: Don't start.
#ChaseForBookNine
Fine Death. :) just not feeling like dancing at this moment in time
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes hands with Trip, laughing*
Jesus lads, you all know me at this stage. Stop with the formalities, your making me want to unleash bad manners.
*looks over his shoulder and gets an idea*
'Scuse me a minute peoples...
*Walks over to Death and extends a hand*
Would you like to dance Rose??
Im gonna die from hyperventilating. ..
@Ez: Fine, be like that, then. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Yes?
*calls to Drew* I till haven't forgiven you you know!
#ChaseForBook9
@Gemma: Count to ten - it works for Hunter, and I tried it once muself and it worked, sooooo.
#ChaseForBookNine
Ahem. We were dancing, darling.
And forgiven him for what?
*Shrugs* Sure Drew! *Lets go of the reflection and takes Drew's hand* Nice suit.
*finishes dancing with kor and thanks him*
*slowly wanders over to trip*
Hey ^.^
*calls to Adra* Is there a rule against dancing and calling to people?
#ChaseForBookNine
Sheesh Gemma don't go dieing in the middle of a dance
That time at the bar. *takes her out to the dance floor*
#ChaseForBook9
@Hunter: If there is, you just broke it.
#ChaseForBookNine
WHy would you be calling to me Hunter?
*starts to waltz with Death*
So how have you been? Heard you were having a rough patch...
Im sorry kor ;_; at least I wasn't coughing
@Ez: Oh my God, I'm so terrified, I've never broken a rule before.
#ChaseForBookNine
*takes his hand and shoulder*
Um... I don't remember that?
Thanks for this, trip
@Adra: Trip was calling to Drew, and you said *imitation of Adra's voice* "Ahem. We were dancing, darling."
#ChaseForBookNine
*Smiles and looks away* I'm better, I guess. I spent last week away from my family on a camp that I'll be going back to tonight... So, it's been a lot better... *Sighs* Life's great, ain't it?
*winces* Sorry Gemma. *dances with Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
*flips Hunter off*
That was a rubbish imitation.
#ChaseForBookNine
*sits down on a chair in the corner of the room* *smiles sadly*
#ChaseForBook9
@Ez: I'd like to see you do better.
#ChaseForBookNine
*pauses* You should go dance with her, Trip
"Ahem. We were dancing, darling."
#ChaseForBookNine
Alirght, that was better . . . But not better than this!
"Ahem. We were dancing, darling."
#ChaseForBookNine
"Ahem. We were dancing, darling."
#ChaseForBookNine
Its ok trip. We can dance another tine. I am literally going to have a heart attack.
Bye everyone, have fun...
"Ahem. We were dancing, darling."
*glares at Ez*
#ChaseForBookNine
I probably should. One last thing. *leans in as if to kiss her, the wipes his cheek on hers, getting paint all over it, runs off*
#ChaseForBook9
I win!
#ChaseForBookNine
EZTER WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME
You're female!
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh...
Okay then Gemma...
#ChaseForBook9
*smiles at her*
That's good. I'm glad to hear it.
*blinks* OI
Exactly! We're the superior gender!
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye Gemma!
#ChaseForBook9
*Smiles at Gemma* Bye!
*Laughs and says farewell to Trip*
*grabs a handful of paint and flings it at Trip*
No, you're not! Seeing as how Adra's also female, it makes it easier for you to imitate her!
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that.
#ChaseForBookNine
*Smiles back happily* How've been? Have you met Bruno yet...?
Bitch.
#ChaseForBookNine
You're so nice to me.
#ChaseForBookNine
WE'RE NOT EZTER.
*glares at Adra*
#ChaseForBookNine
*giggles* Oops.
YES YOU ARE EZ
@Ez: Of course we're Ezter. Adra says so, and she is the superior ever-correct gender.
#ChaseFOrBookNine
*kicks Hunter's leg*
#ChaseForBookNine
*is shipping Ezter while being depressed* I now ship Ezter *nods and grins*
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: NO WE'RE NOT.
#ChaseForBookNine
*frowns*
Bruno?
Is not a dog is it... cause that would be insulting.
Damn right I am, Hunter.
Damn.
Right.
*ships with Rhydian*
@Rhydian: NO, YOU DON'T.
#ChaseForBookNine
*Laughs and pulls away from Drew* My son is not a dog! *Grins and runs out the door* It's probably time he got fed too...
@Rhydian: You don't, because Ez says so, and she is a member of the superior ever-correct gender.
Ez, can I kill Adra now?
#ChaseFOrBookNine
@Ez: YES, I DO!!
#ChaseForBook9
Rhydian, if you ever want to email me about anything, you can. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
NO, HUNTER
@Hunter: No.
@Rhydian: You don't!
#ChaseFOrBookNine
@Ez: Not even a little bit?
*grins at Adra*
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm good Star. Just a bit low atm. But lonely.
#ChaseForBook9
*Returns cradling Bruno in her arms, wrapped in blankets* *Walks up to Drew*
@Hunter: You can kill somebody a little bit?
#ChaseForBookNine
Wait Rose, a baby?
Um... I don't do that well around kids!
*walks over to Adra*
Help me, she's bringing a baby out
Greetings, fellow Bloglandians.
FUCK OFF HUNTER.
*hugs Rhydian* JOIN US
ONE OF US
ONE OF US
ONE OF US
I guess that it's good that you're good . . . :/
#ChaseForBookNine
@Ez: I can, beacuse I'm awesome. Would you like me to demonstrate?
#ChaseForBookNine
AH GOD IT'S THE SHARK
*curtsies* Hey Rein
I DUNNO, DREW> FEND FOR YOURSELF.
*Throws green paint at him*
Hey, Sir! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi Sir!
#ChaseForBook9
@Hunter: No. *kicks him again*
#ChaseForBookNine
Greetings...
"The shark"?
I think I'm gonna be sick. *walks away*
#ChaseForBook9
*Laughs at Drew* He's tiny! *Hands Bruno over to her reflection who starts rocking it back to sleep*
And I thought that we could sit around and talk for hours
About the things I couldn't say to you
And the things that we could never do and
This conversation has had no face...
Rhydian...?
Yes. Are you not a shark?
hey death
did you hear the news
i bet you did
#ChaseForBook9
Sharky! *Tacklehugs*
MARA AND THE GANG *hugs all*
*looks at Adra with a shocked look on his face*
Did you just seriously...
Like fucking seriously??!!
Really!!
Well yes. But simply calling me "the shark" is so... Untactful. Would you enjoy it if I called you "the girl", Adrasdos?
*stumbles and trips over Ez's dress and we both fall down*
#ChaseForBookNine
*waves*
ARGHHHHHHHH YOU'LL RIP A HOLE IN IT!
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Mars!! The news about you and Harry gettin' married?! I did!! Did you hear the news?
WELL DON'T KICK ME WHEN I'M DANCING WITH YOU!
#ChaseFOrBookNine
Hey, I come from a long time ago, Sir Rein. Only recently have people not called me 'the girl'. But I see what you mean. *nods*
T*throws tuna at him*
OH GOD ROSE.
WAIT
THAT MEANS YOU AND ALEX
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
MARAAAAAAAA! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
WELL DON'T FALL OVER WHEN I KICK YOU!
#ChaseFOrBookNine
i did not death
what is the news?
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
OMG I HAVE MISSED KATHLEEN
*is not sobbing with laughter*
#ChaseForBook9
HI EVERYONE
I SHOULD BE ASLEEP
SO VERY MSD
#ChaseForBook9
Is Bruno Alex's?
#ChaseForBook9
It wasn't MY fault, your dress was in the way! I told you dresses were impractical!
*stands up, offering Ez a hand*
#ChaseForBookNine
... Tuna? I must admit, I'm... Extremely confused right now.
@Mara: You should be asleep?
*looks at clock*
SHIT SO SHOULD I. D:
Msd.
#ChaseForBookNine
*Laughs* Adra, it's not like that!!! *Grins* It's more like, 'Hey, lets get a kid so the other kids have someone to play with!'
*whispers* Ezter.
*chants it under her breath*
*hides in the rafters above Trip with a can of paint*
One of us
one of us
one of us
one of us
TUNA SHARKBOY. TUNA> FISH. FISH ARE FOOD. NOT. FRIENDS>
wait
*walks up quickly to Adra with blue paint on his hand. He imprints his hand onto the middle of her face*
Now you look like an Orc, an ugly son of a bitch.
*winks at her*
Hoor.
Oh right so it was the stork, then?
*looks at Hunter's hand* Are you insulting my dress?
#ChaseForBookNine
*throws pink paint over Drew* HEY YO BARBIE
*takes a picture and sends it to Ellie*
*glares at Adra*
@Ez: Yes.
#ChaseForBookNine
Adrasdos. You... I... I will admit to my being quite flummoxed and flustered, please excuse me for a moment...
*Is ever so slightly dying of laughter*
*flips Hunter off again, sticking out her tongue and shooting him with a yellow paint ball gun*
@Hunter: My dress is awesome.
*sends stronger glare at Adra, because we of the superior ever-correct gender can glare better*
#ChaseForBookNine
What up bitch!?
*pours a can of purple paint all over her*
Fuck you and your camouflaging green dress while your running around with green paint.
Just fuck that lol
*cackles* So basically, Sharkboy, you haven't got a shit what's going on?
@Ez: Sure it is.
#ChaseFOrBookNine
FUCKER
YOU LITTLE FUCK-WAD, DREW.
*shoots him with orange paint* THERE. YOU CLASH, SHERBERT
Here lies Death Rose who died of laughter.
*hides*
#ChaseForBook9
Just so that's straight. *accepts hand and stands up* Um, you have paint on you.
#ChaseForBookNine
*carefully swings from the rafters like Spiderman and places a skulcake on Rhydian's head and swings back up, lying in wait for Trip, and Rhydian never saw her*
*Drew can't stop laughing*
No, correction, I look fucking fabulous.
You, on the other hand, look like a diseased Christmas tree
*smiles*
Evenin' all! :)
How's it going?
#chaseforbook9
@Ez: Well, NO, I didn't realise. *teleports paint off*
*looks at the dead Death* Phew. That's one funeral I didn't have to arrange.
#ChaseForBookNine
SHUT UP DREW
YA LITTLE SHIT.
FLORA *curtsies* I'm sorry.
*shoots her with red paint*
@Drew- at least I match..
*resumes dancing with Hunter* Is that all you think when you look at graves?
#ChaseForBookNine
Wtf Ads?
#ChaseForBook9
*carefully shoots Es in the back with black paint*
You didn't see anything
@Ez: Nope. Sometimes my gladness originates from the fact that I DID have to arrange that funeral and it's OVER. *twirls her happily*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey, Flora!
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi Lia! *hugs*
I'm feeling kinda shitty right now so if you could just ignore me then that'll be great thanks!
#ChaseForBook9
*can't teleport paint off in this dress* SHIT.
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Rhydian*
*swings back up to the ceiling with the green bucket*
Where the hell did Trip go?
TRIP
Fuck
@Ez: Do you agree that your dress is fucking mpractical?
#ChaseForBookNine
Ez and Hunter are awesome. Of course, I haven't met Hunter, so I guess I wouldn't know, but they seem awesome, at any rate.
Hello!
#ChaseForBook9
@Hunter: Yes.
#ChaseForBookNine
(Yeah if you all could ignore that'll be fantastic!)
#ChaseForBook9
@Ez: Yay!
Thank you, Fabi. :)
You seem awesome too, but I haven't met you either, so likewise I can't really say . . .
Nice to meet you. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Um... I'll dedicate to Rhydian Saint because he is a teddy bear and cuddly and we all love giving him hugs *pointed look*
AND Paint ball fights in Chester.
Oh god Sparky is going to kill me.
OH CHRIST ALMIGHTY.
*screams*
*miserably* Hear hear
