Look at this... don't even have the time to do a proper blog post...
LSODM is over 133,000 words right now and I promised my editor I'd have a reasonably finished first draft to him by the end of the week. That means no Twitter and no blogging, and very little internet presence at all. Even a half hour of writing a blog is a half hour of NOT writing the book, and I can't afford to do that right now. When the book is done, when it's finally done, business as usual will be resumed. Until then, this temporary silence continues.
And here's a fantastic picture for nerds.

Am I allowed to hug people?
Or would that be awkward?
Dammit, I missed the new post :(
I like the picture Derek :) Eh, I'm sure that a long book will make up for internet silence.
Hello everyone else!
SORRYYYY wbd...
and I don't think so... It's up to you
SAPH!!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
hi.
Jubi!!! *tacklehugs* How're you?
Hi Edward, I'm Saph. I don't think hugs are awkward. I tacklehug everyone *tacklehugs*
It goes...okay-ish?
Woody- There was one Bloglandian I met who didn't like being hugged, but most of us hug, tacklehug, SUPERMEGATACKLEHUGOFDOOM, ninjaeroplanetacklehug (in Ieni's case) and a variety of others all the time.
Really?! *looks hopeful*
HI SAPPHY!!!
*giggles*
Rainbow monkeys!
Hi Fabi! *tacklehugs*
*is supermegatacklehugggedofdoom by Jubi* :)
I dedicate this page to those who fought in all of the wars. May we never need more, but if we do, may we be prepared, both with technology, and courageous men.
I also dedicate this page to the little things, especially things like... long-suffering, love, and friendship..., which [come to think of it] aren't so little at all.
Lastly, I dedicate it to all of my friends from Dereksville Blogland. You're innumerable, I know, but to list a few: Kallista, Hellboy, Nights Raven, Mar, Mir, Thalia, Lydia, Fabi, Jubi, Em, Woody, Star, Zafira, Taia, Melica, Lyneth, Insanity Nova Moonshine, Geckogirl, Mary Hiashi, Ann Marie, NJ, Aria, Jaffa, Alexander, DogsLikeBones, Legolas, Chanoro, Phoenix, Darkane, Ayesha, Lakinson, Tori, Nyx, and Lizzy.
I love hugging! *Runs around the universe hugging every single atom in one minute* Less fun than I expected. Turns out atoms can't hug you back.
Hi Zaf!!!
RAINBOW MONKEYS? WHERE?
I'm fairly certain I am going to die of heat stroke by the end of the week, so if you don't hear from me, assume that I have died a heroic and glorious death.
(In other words, it's about 70 degrees F and the only thing I have that I can wear is jeans and boots. Which are all black. Along with all my other clothes. And black absorbs heat. SO I'M DYING SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY.)
On a happier note, my birthday is on Monday! Woo hoo!
*raises glass*
Hear hear!
Yay! I was on the list!
@Woody
Trust me, it's not awkward to hug people. ~glomps~
Also, isn't "Brass Goggles" catchy and pretty much awesome? :D
Happy Birthday Valkarie! *Gives a bottle of blogland 2023* best crop of the century!
Val suck it up!!!! I had 80 degree wearher i survived!
Of course you were on the list :D
@Val
Hiya!
~hugs~
Don't live in Louisiana... You'd die of heatsroke much more quicklier O_o
*takes bottle* Thanks!
Yes... I know... Quicklier isn't a word... I'm a grammar nerd, so I know that..., but it SHOULD BE!
Okie dokie brb.
[tacklehugs Saph back]
Nice ded, Skyril.
Val, my house is a refrigerator at any time of year, so I don't have that problem at the moment. :-P Like, I'm wearing a really dark blue sweater and I'm completely comfortable. Outside or at the dance studio, though... [mimes fainting]
YES BUT YOU GUYS CAN STAND HEAT BECAUSE YOU'RE USED TO IT.
I'm used to rain! Everyday! SUNSHINE IS NOT SOMETHING I CAN ADAPT TO. Also, I like being pale. I DON'T WANT THE SUNLIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
@Skyril: I only had enough to time to check that first one you told me about, didn't check the name, nut it was pretty cool. Also I know it's not awkward to hug people, but hugging people you met recently can be. So it was probably best to ask.
Happy Birthday for Monday Val :)I mist give you a present *hands virtual cookie* (::)
Great ded Skyril :)
Meh, a few weeks ago the city I live in had 18 days worth of water left before we completely ran out :O
My old bedroom was always as cold as a freezer. I loved it. My new one, however... *scoots out of the overly warm light from the windows*
Back, but very msd. :/
Hiya, Saph!
Woody: I'm good with hugs of all types. (Except for real ones. Apparently, I'm bad at those. :P)
But, y'know, hug away!
RAINBOW MONKEYS!
@Skyril: Awesome dedication!
Also: *raises an eyebrow* 'Much more quicklier'? :P
@Val: I can barely survive 15 C.
That's... 59 Fahrenheit? O.O
Love the rain Valkarie! Love cold spring and two week summer!
It's, like, 21.1 C here.
I HATE IT.
That's it, I'm wearing shorts tomorrow.
In fact, forget that, I struggle with 11 C temperatures. T.T
It's almost raining, here!
Emphasis on almost. :)
Sorry for slowness. I have to type extra quietly. o.O
Spring is my favourite time of year... it's cold but not too cold.
@Taia
I'm amazing at irl hugs apparently...
[Nods]
This is proof of
A. Global Warming
B. The Apocalypse
C. Some conspiracy or other
The SUN in SEATTLE is a MYTH, okay? It, like, rains and then rains some more. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, SKY WITH NO CLOUDS IN IT?
It was way too hot today, I had to take off my coat. Damn you sun! Not you Mr.Blue, you're a lovely person who doesn't need sun.
lol, this is so funny, listening to y'all complain about hot weather, and by "hot" you mean 60s and 70s... I wish my weather was like that all the time!
BACK!
By the way.
Sorry, my internet failed for a minute.
Hi Tara! *tacklehugs*
Fabi, of course it's the Apocalypse- it's part of Skul and Val's latest case :)
Hey, Skyril, I was just looking at the top comment and do you live in NZ?
It rained yesterday so it's cooler today. It's 74 degrees F, which is apparently 23 degrees C, and I was commenting to my mom earlier how nice and cool it was.
@Sapphire Pleasure to make your acquaintance! Sorry for not saying so earlier. ~is still trying to catch up with comments~
No, actually, I live in Louisiana, USA.... Is there a Steven Sharp Nelson in NZ?
I know I was going to let my ded gather value but I want to dedicate the previous page to my new friend Skyril, who is a lovely person. I can't dedicate things very well without much preparation, but best of luck to thou and thoust's kin. Now and forevermore, across the boundries of time and space.
Also Valkarie, happy birthday! Free blogland 2023 for all!
Actually, this apocalypse is just on Skul, I'm too busy hiding from the sun.
Woody: Awesome. I've been directly told that I'm an awful hugger. :P
@Fabi: I know the feeling. :P
*laughs*
Welcome back, Skyril.
It has not rained properly here all year, yet. I am shocked, disappointed, and primarily, worried. :c
It's sunny here, which is weird seeing as it's officially winter. It's nice and warm too.
Hello. I'm very, very distant, but here.
I hate the sun too... I mean, to a relative degree... Since we would all be dead without it, you know, but I would definitely prefer it to hide behind dark stormclouds daily. That would be nice :D
Hello Niccolo...
I don't know why, but I am sad...
Oh, actually, I have to go, but I'll be back in about an hour.
Aw, thank you, Woody :D ~hugs~
I found a back way to the secret beach the other day... :-)
I can't imagine no rain.... Even when it's right in front of me.
Hello, Croatoan.
Bye then, Niccolo
@deat: would you like some blogland 2023 to cheer you up?
Bye then, C.
Hope you're less sad soon, Death!
Death! Hi!
NO BEING SAD! Never fear, Val is here! *starts to run heroically and trips on cape*
Have you read the new Battle for Blogland chapter?
COCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Supermegaundodgeabletacklehugsofdoom*
oh.... NEVERMIND
@Taia
Thanks!
It certainly hasn't rained enough for my preferences, but there was nice shower yesterday... To not have rain at all would be... very disconcerting. :/ ~hugs~
Coco....
Death, please try not to be sad. A person with as lovely a soul as yours deserves to be happy.
All of this sun-speak has thrown a song into my head, now... :P
We need it's light
We need it's heat
We need it's energy~
Without the sun, without a doubt
There'd be no you and me!
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degreeeeees~
I adore They Might be Giants xD
Hello... and goodbye, Niccolo!
Hello, Rose
There's an ice-skating rink where I live, or at least there used to be. It melted.
Gtg, sorry bye
Bye Sapphire!
Aw, bye Saph! :-(
*hands Val a cookie* :/
*hugs Skyril back*
We've had little-rain, but nothing really worth noting.
Granted, there was a large dump of snow earlier in the year, but it's not rain if it's not liquid. :P
Bye!
Awh, bye Saph!
~gives Rose a purple lollipop~
You might be sleepy. I was sleepy when I came on, and therefor somewhat melancholy, but I'm better now. :]
Watch this video. It's bound to make you smile. :3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p0BqUcQ7i0
*has nothing left to contribute to the conversation*
Bye, Sapphire!
Niccolo never had a soul once Mevolent took over
*nods*
Oh uhm
*explodes Niccolo*
We got no snow whatsoever last winter....
First rain and more rain.
Then everything froze and frosted over but nothing fell from the sky.
Then...back to rain. There was snow mixed with the rain a couple of times, but not much of it.
[Sorry about all my rants about the weather, and I'll stop posting them if they bug you]
@Woody
That's when I start:
A. talking about books
B. talking about ThePianoGuys
or C. smashing random things with a mallet..., which is a really useful way to get Oreo crumbs, I'll have you know [from personal experience].
Oh there's something! Zafiara! How dare you blow up England? I live there! It's my home!!! It's now a very large hole!
Sorry... I am reading BFB...
Not here...
I hated not having any snow last winter, Fabi... *grumbles*
But hey, at least there are no snow make up days! I get out of school on June 18th this year!
(Last year it wasn't until June 28th...)
Where am I supposed to live?!
*peers at the time*
@Skyril: Did you say you have to leave, soon?
And,
Will you be joining again in the near future?
Ooh uhm sorry!
*shrugs*
I explode stuff except for Ireland unless Landy ever came on drunk then I would because he'd never remember
Of course not, Fabi!
It mostly never snows here. It's done it like... three- five times over the past 17 years, and when it did snow, it was really wet snow that melted super fast xD.
I had too much snow. I couldn't even get into my garden, because of an eight ft snow drift. :P
I am not used to snow.
Neither are the plants in this country.
Few trees managed to keep hold of all of their branches. :/
@Taia
Oh, right, I did actually, but right before I said brb, I found out my mom went home, and she wasn't going to be back for a while, and therefore I could log back on and stay longer.
And I definitely want to come back soon. I get so distracted with other things lots of times, that I don't have the chance to come on, or if I do, I'm so distant I might as well not be. -_-
However, I'll certainly try to both come again soon, and talk muchly. :D
I live in an airship now! Granted that is better and all my stuff is on it and I'm living the dream, but still!
BUT when it does snow, I pretty much always have this urge to photograph things, indoors or out. :3
And... let's see... I was going to say something... I'm certain I was.... Well, I'm relatively certain <.<
OH! Right!
I got comment 500! ~boogies~
~high-fives Woody and stows away on his airship~
Pretty much everything in england is airships now! No one's really sure what to do! England exploded and then everything was airships!
@Taia
Which is a good thing! Take more picturessss! :D
Speaking of which..., I took pictures of cats today, but I think I am presently too lazy to do anything with them... >.>
*high fives Skyril*
We've got broadband and everything is the same but now it's all airships!
*explodes the airships*
*glares at Zaf*
STOP EXPLODING THINGS!
Last year, it was crazy... The snow melted then froze over and everything was coated in ice, like... Trees, cars, the house, all with this layer of transparent ice... It was scary, when branches from the really tall trees would fall off from the weight of all that ice. And the snow wasn't the right texture to do much with.
I love complaining about the weather...
So actually Zafiara I guess I should thank you for making England the most amazing place in the world...
Okay, Skyril, *hugs*
Yay for staying longer, and to returning, also!
Um, I'll suddenly become VERY slow and typo-y because no longer using an actual computer. :P
And, YAY! Cat pictures! I LOVE your cat pictures! :3
I don't know a great many cats...
Damn it! Now we're all on boats!
New Mevolent chapter, and now I'm leaving.
*shrugs and points towards Derek*
Tell him that I can't explode Ireland so I found a new place
Watch next Blog post: Explosives are banned due to a certain Ameriminion
I guess I could try and make some gasbags and attach them to my boat...
*eyes pillows thoughtfully*
That would be hilarious xD
Oh yes Coco!
*@ Zaf
@Fabi! The weather's actually a great topic! :3
Looking around my area, I don't think there was a single house that didn't lose it's guttering from the weight of the snow. It's pretty astounding, when you think how light and fluffy it looks.
The weather is really mean -_-
IT KEEPS CHANGING
Oh no...
[goes off to read chapter]
Important question, what kind of explosives are you using?!! They blow up countrys! Ooooh new mc chapter... *is like a moth to a flame* This isn't over!!! BRB
Oh, beetle-head. It's like I don't have the brain cells to contemplate half the 0222101031142412 MC chapters anymore...:-/
I struggle to keep up-to-date with my own blog. Getting back on track with all those that I stalk is a challenge :/ eventually, I will read all.
Whoops!
Sorry for disappearing!
I'm back... What did I miss?
Not much... Except my mood shifted. If I insult any of you in Elizabethan English or code, don't take it personally, I don't really mean it.
Darn, you accursed iPod! Stop trying to view Fabi's blogger profile every time I scroll down!
Um, Welcome back, Skyril! :3
Back!
[laughs a bit]
My iPod generally likes Jubi's profile.
Actually I gtg to choir
I use dynamite well special dynamite
That's some damn special dynamite!
Um... alright, Fabi...
Thanks, Taia!
Welcome back, Woody!
Bye, Zaf!
I poofed...
Why the hell did I poof??
I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a lovely profile, I can see why my iPod likes it, but, y'know?
(I need to stop saying that. "Y'know" is not an argument or a reason. :P)
Welcome back, Woody!
Awh, bye Zaf!
Because you poofed?
I need to stop saying coz, it's annoying but takes up so much less time.
Welcome back, Em :3
Even the best of us poof at times. ;)
LOL, Taia, but "Y'know" is such a useful phrase!
@Woody
I tend to say 'cause :P
"Hello
Goodbye
I'm rather crazy,
And I never thought I was crazy,
But what do I know?"
Right. I think I have to go now, back when I'm a bit more sane.
aww :( BYE FABI!!!!! *hugs*
OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's why I poofed...
I'm setting up a new book blog.
*clicks fingers*
now I remembered.
I don't know the anyone can make a song about "Suspender Man" awesome..., but the managed.
[if you get a chance]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6dW5aH6GTc
Oh, and if you DO watch the song, I suggest reading the lyrics... You get so much more from it that way :P
I'm sorry It's midnight and I need to go to sleep. I've been up far too late all week! Good night everyone! *Hands out bottles of blogland 2023 to anyone who'll accept* I may have a few too many... *Hugs everyone in turn* Bye! Hope to see you again Skyril!
Byeee, Fabi!
Byeeee, Woody!
~hugs back~
Hope to see you too!
Goodnight!
Awh, bye Fabi! *hugs*
@Em! New book blog? Sauce of awesome! I'll be there, when I have a real computer.
@Skyril: Also when I have a computer at hand! :3
Bye Eoody! Sleep well!
*hugs*
*Woody
"Eoody"?
What is WRONG with autocorrect? O.o
@Taia
Okie dokie :D
LOL autocorrect xD
~whacks it with a mallet~
Yeah a new book blog...
Don't think I will do any justice on anything as regards reviews and what have you but I will try.
And also *gets ready to duck* it's on...wordpress *flinches*
*grins*
Mallets make everything better. xD
@Em: I don't even know what Wordpress is. :P
But still Yay! for new book blog and trying!
Absolutely!
Mallets for the win!
Especially when you get to smash Oreos with them ~grins~
Okie dokie, I've got to go now, folks. ~hugs everyone~
Hope to come back and see y'all again soon :D
Awh. *hugs*
Bye, Skyril!
It was great seeing you! Come back soon! ~
Increasingly msd...

I am so happy!
I have no fees!
When I get my cash out
It's for free!
I am happy as you can see!
Because my money
It comes fee free!
There's a new post :)
Such a missed opportunity...
No Doctor Who reference on a post called "Temporary Silence"!?!
*goes to cry in a corner*
Well......that was ....quite an ending...
Hello?
Hello new page!!
Fabi that sounds great :)
I'm good Hunter how are you?
Must go now. Bye everyone!!! (YAY SKUTTLEBUGGIA!!)
[Oh my gosh. The one time I get last is a time I'm not me??????????????????]
[And yes, Hunter has my randomness. Deal]
[My charaters often have my qualities, I'm not just being bad at acting XD]
Hello again.
As we're on a different post, can I meet everyone again?
Bye Rhydian
Good for you Luci. I hope you finish Skuttlebuggia.
Guys, I was wondering, who came up with the idea to have deds on each page?
See you soon, Rhydian!
Uh sure Hunter
I have no idea, Mara who lies but no more than average. I only just got here.
Mara no idea. But whoever came up with the idea it's a great one.
Nice nickname, Hunter XD
Ah. I'll ask Star next time. ;P
Nah, that's okay, Aisling. :) Ez would declare it wasn't a proper meeting, anyway.
........So now what?
OMGWHEREAREMYAWESOMEPENS????
I AM INTERROGATING WITNESSES (i.e. my sis, asking if she borrowed them), very distant!
One Direction?
[Star has no clue. It was started before my time. Deds were already in usage in January 2012.]
Oh I might not be on for a few days after today cause I'm going to Wexford for a few days. The wifi isn't always turned on there.
(okay. Thanks Star! I'll check with Val or someone :))
[OH **** I WANTED FIRST . . . That's what I get for being unobservant. :P]
That's okay Ais. :) Have a good time in Wexford!
I'm going to Wicklow for my holidays with mum:)
I found only the green ones. :-/
My sis had no idea, apparently.
Oh look, a new page. Cool.
SORRY HUNTER/STAR! :(
Okay, Ais.
BACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
Wb Luci
I've been to Wexford . . . More recently than nowadays, however.
Have a nice time there, hope nobody dies. :)
[Arghhhhhhhhh the wiki burns page is still open and I'm just staring at all the images of burning . . . :P Maybe I should close it.]
