Rundown

This day last week I was in Leeds. First, I visited the school in Huddersfield that had won the Skulduggery photo competition, and got chatting to a room full of highly amusing students. Then it was on to Leeds itself, to Waterstones, for an event, a question and answer session, and a signing that went on for, ahem, quite a while.

The following day we were in York, again at Waterstones, for a signing that AGAIN went on for longer than we had expected. Three hours in Leeds, four hours in York. Of course, some people (who shall remain nameless) chose to go to BOTH, which may explain the length...

I came back with the usual assortment of letters and notes (which I still have to go through), presents (including a garden gnome), and Skittles. Because I like Skittles.

It was so much fun, the Watersones staff were all ultra-cool, and everyone kept me grinning from beginning to end. So thank you everyone who made it out, and thank you to everyone who braved the long queues...!

So I got home on Saturday night, and I've been home for the last week, and I haven't done ANY work at all. Well, almost. Okay, so I did some businessy type stuff, but I didn't WRITE anything. Kind of. Okay, so I'm already planning the final Skulduggery book, and possibly a few other things, but that is ALL. I am taking a BREAK. Mostly.

So now that I'm taking a break, I can give a quick rundown on stuff I've been enjoying over the past few months...

Man of Steel: This was... good. It was a good film. Wasn't brilliant. I went to it with my mum, sisters and brother. My mum and sisters all thought it was amazing. My brother and I were more subdued— and seeing as how my brother and I are the only ones whose opinion I trust, I trusted us.

Dexter, season seven: Ah, the penultimate season of the serial killer hiding in plain sight. I always enjoy Dexter. Even the seasons that people say were weak, I loved. Only one more season to go, though, and then I'll have to say goodbye to one of my favourite characters. Will he be found out? Will he be arrested? Will he live? Will he die?

See, now I know how YOU guys feel...

Game of Thrones: Pure awesome. Not as awesome as the books, but awesome nonetheless. Jon Snow, Arya, Dany and Tyrion for the win.

Doctor Who: It'll be so sad when Matt Smith leaves. He's made a brilliant Doctor— childlike, impulse, excitable, yet so incredibly dark and lonely. And of course Jenna Louise Coleman is wonderful and gorgeous. (But Amy will always be my first love.)

Banshee: A weird one, this. An ex-con assumes the identity of a dead man and becomes the Sheriff of a town called Banshee. It has a lovely idea at its core that it hasn't managed to live up to, but I'm still watching. Definitely adults-only stuff, and even though the action does nod its head towards realism every chance it gets, it's still way over the top. Though I'm starting to question how no one has fired a sheriff who beats up suspects in front of the whole town...

True Blood, season five: Amazingly, this show gets better and better. It's moved away from its human/vampire love story beginnings and developed its own mythology. This is wonderful stuff, fantastically inventive, very funny, but again— adults only.

Assassin's Creed 3: errrr... I kinda stopped playing. All the Assassin Creed games are very repetitive, and I just couldn't muster the enthusiasm to finish.

Resident Evil 6: Dreadful. Again, I stopped playing. It just wasn't FUN.

Skyrim: I stopped playing because I needed to write, but I do intend to go back to this. Oblivion was brilliant.

Metal Gear Rising: Awful. If I wanted a fighting game, I'd have bought a fighting game. I buy Metal Gear games because I want to sneak around and kill people when they don't expect it. (By the way, I've just seen the trailer for the next Metal Gear game, which looks like it'll fulfil every gaming need I could possibly possess.)

N0S4R2, by Joe Hill: Brilliant book. Loved every page.

The Shining Girls, by Lauren Beuke: I read this immediately after N0S4R2 and it did not suffer by comparison. Fantastic.

Annnnd I've just been emailed the edited copy of LSODM, so I shall be going through that this weekend, making last-minute changes and additions... and then it'll REALLY be done.

Honest.

I'm alright, I just had a massive argument with someone, who I thought was my friend, over rent for our student house next year (basically, she has one of the bigger rooms and wanted to equal our the rent over the summer, meaning that those with the smaller rooms pay more and she doesn't have to pay as much). And now she's gone and blocked me on my facebook account (I made one specifically so I could discuss arrangements with the people I'm living with next year) and it's all just...ugh.
I'm just tired of arguments and, now, aren't looking forward to next year as much as I was.

[@Jubi: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :) *hugs*

Today in Maths, we were given a small 11x11 square grid with the numbers 1-121 on it and a similar grid tyhat was 9x9. So me and my friend decided to play snakes and ladders on it. She drew the snakes and the ladders, and I made the counters by rolling up little slivers of paper and gluing them so they wouldn't unroll. I coloured on in with my yellow highlighter (mine) and one in with my pink highlighter (my friend's). Then we realised we didn't have a dice so I cut out somehting resembling a net for a cube and used other slithers of paper as tabs to help me glue my cube net into an actual cube (it was a rather biased dice. It kept on landing on 1 and almost never landed on 3.)
But ANYWAY, after she beat me, then beat me, then beat me (SERIOUSLY LIKE WAHT THE HELL HOW DID SHE DO THAT), we abandoned the game, and she drew a little smiley face on her counter, and I drew a big smiley face on mine (well, big for the size of the counter. They were titchy little things). Then I said it was a yellow alien, because like, it was yellow.
XD
And that's how this paragraph linked.
But anyway, her counter started asking my counter all about its planet, and my counter replied things like "We don't have names beacuse we're too awesome, so our planet doesn't have a name" and "I don't know what it looks like from space, because I've only ever seen it from on it" and "we don't have names for hot and cold, so I don't know what you're on about" and "I don't know how many of YOUR years it took to get here, because we measure our years differently, because we're awesomer" and "on average we live to 502 of our years, or we did last time I was there, but the average may have changed by now, so I don't know" and "I can't ride a bicycle, beacuse I don't have legs, beacuse I'm too awesome for them" and stuffs. XD
And then we had a competition for how far we could jump. She said, "Jump over that calculator" so I/my counter did and then she jumped over the calculator right across to my book and went "Haha I can jump furher than you!" so then we started jumping all over the place to further and further differences. And then I flew up in the air, beacuse I could fly, beacuse I was that awesome, and proved I was better ONCE AND FOR ALL.
And then we decided to go ice skating, so she drew a van on the back of a piece of card and we got in it and drove off. And I was sat upside down because I was awesome. Another piece of card was the ice rink and I made little card triangle for ice skates. Except I couldn't really skate because I couldn't out my boots on because I didn't have legs, so I sort of slide about saying how cold the ice was and ow whilst she just skated around the rink. XD
Then we realised that since I didn't have legs this wasn't such a good idea, and she said if I taught her how to fly, she'd teach me how to ride a bike.
So I taught hr to fly and we flew about.
And then she drew a bike on a bit of card and I drew a bike on a bit of card, and she taught me how to bike. I couldn't really turn the pedals without legs so I sat upside down on the saddle and flew about holding my bike.
And then I tripped over the dice.
And then it was time to pack away.

. . . YES, WE'RE INSANE. XD

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Mara and Harry, don't worry.

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

YOU ARE SO RIGHT TRIP!!!!

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Okay, thanks Rhydian and Trip. :)

*hands out the tea* *sits down on the grass*

Star - Yellow dinosaur *grins*
And no bother :)

Harry: So, not to intrude, but do you have a plan for capturing this 'Remnant'?

*smiles sheepishly* I told Hazza this last night, but I don't think he quite understood...

Harry: hey! *offended face* I understood most of it!

Most of it. *sips tea*

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

*takes tea* *sips tea*...nice...

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*takes tea, sits on grass* Maybe we should make a school for magic.

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

I've got a blog about that Trip.

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*alien

*facepalm*


*blushes* Thanks...

Harry: *hugs Mara* She's my princess.

Harry! *goes red*

Harry: *chuckles* *ruffles hair*

SO, HOW'S THE TEA?

Harry: Don't try to change the subject!

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I know, it just didn't really go anywhere, you know? We need a group of people all backing it to make it lift off.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

The tea is excellent Mara.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

And Missy had the same idea a year ago, but it didn't go anywhere, and I bet there were more. It would be awesome if we could get one to get somewhere tough.

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

The tea's great Mara! You and Harry are great together.

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Maybe. *nods* That would be so cool. What do you think, Haz?

Harry: *looks up from phone* Huh?

Harry, get off instagram or twitter or vine. Whichever.

Harry: #fanstagram...

Harry...?

Harry: Yestagram?

Are you, um, okay?

Harry: I'm vine.

Oh dear... *drinks tea*

I taught in a magic school once. I was screening for my first channeler students.

Harry you alright?

[Sorry, had to restart the laptop. -_-

#ChaseForBookNine]

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Thanks, Trip and Rhydian! :)

Great together? Thank you... *blushes again*

Harry: Why are you blushing, Mara?

No reason...

Harry: Tell me or I'll tickle you.

Harry, we can't be coupley in... in front of people! *whispers*

Harry: Of course we can. It's called PDA, darling.

Ew. *laughs*

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

PDA?

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

No, please. Go ahead and be coupley, it's a nice distraction from what's to come. And makes all of us so happy.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

PDA?

#chaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*explains* Harry's obsessed with social networking sites. Um. *scratches back of neck*

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Be as coupley as you want!

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Public Displays of Affection :P

Harry: See, Mara?

Oh... Alright. If it's okay with you... *feels awkward*

Harry: Give me your phone.

Huh? Oh. Okay... *hands phone*

Harry: presses buttons*

What are you... *watches*

I will spell a word that is not in the dictionary however I decide Star!

Gets guitar out. (Playing IRL)

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Harry made me a vine. -.- smh.

Harry: *grins*

You know, sometimes I wonder why I'm your girlfriend.

Harry: *face falls*

Then I remember that it's you I'm going out with, so...

Harry: *hugs from behind* If that's your way of saying you love me, I love you too.

*sips tea* *grins*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Finishes tea. That was some good tea! Who wants another?

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*stands up* I'll make another pot! *collects empty cups* *teleports into 1DHouse*

Harry: *phone rings* *answers* Louis, mate! How's Zayn? Still sick, is he? Poor lad....

[ARRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA . . .

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Lovely tea. ..can't beat it! Where's Arra.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*sits at edge of camp, what if she doesn't show? For another two days? All my fault...

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

No it's not Trip!

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

[@Trip: It's not your fault. :)
SHE WILL APPEAR. :)

#ChaseForBookNine]

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

She wants us to panic and freak out. Don't let her win

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(Just to say, that's Trip talking I'm fine. Trip sees it as his fault)

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(But last night was real. It's true. I need to feel those emotions every now and then, if I forget how it feels to feel certain things, I forget part off my own humanity.)

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

ARRA, PLEASEEEEEEEE.

Thanks Rhydian! *calls*

*teleports back with cups, milk, sugar and pot of tea* *sits on grass beside Harry*

Harry: *on the phone* Yeah, tell him I say hi. Okay, see you Boobear! *laughs* Love you too. Bye! *hangs up.

*raises eyebrow* Larry Stylinson, eh?

Harry: What can I say? *winks* But I have to say, you're much prettier than him.

*gasps* But Louis is... Louis is beyond perfection!

Harry: Well, then I guess you're beyond beyond perfection. *kisses neck*

Shut up, Hazza. *blushes*

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

She isn't winning if we panic, 's winning. This isn't panic, or even self loathing. This is self-motivation.

#ChasezforBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Trip... *goes over* *hugs*
It isn't your fault. Arra is trying to get us to panic. Or should I say the Remnant? But whatever happens, it's never your fault. *hugs once more*

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*hugs* Thank you Mara, but the fact of the matter is, it is my fault. This isn't panic, it's just thinking about the situation at Hans. I caused this, it's the simple fact of the matter. And if anyone gets hurt because of it, it's my fault.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* How is it YOUR fault more than anyone elses? Don't be ridiculous.

#ChaseForBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Star's right Trip. It's not your fault.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I told you yesterday. All the times I could've stopped it, but didn't. I KILLED her, I caused turn up in the first place. If it wasn't for me, there would have been nothing to possess her.

#CjaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

:(
Trip...

*can't think of anything to say*

*teleports away* *grabs Harry* *teleports to 1DHouse*

Harry: *moans* Oh god, my stomach...

Shush. Haz, we need to... *hesitates* We need to make Trip think this isn't this fault.

Harry: What happened...?

Harry! *is exasperated* I told you this yesterday!

Harry: *frowns* The Remnant thing?

*mimics* The Remnant thing? Duh!

Harry: Oh...

Star Inkbright said...

[@Trip: Well, maybe if I'd actually BEEN there, I could have stopped it! And hey, I could have made Hunter do loads more, and I didn't. I could have stopped it. I didn't.

Regret is pointless and solves nothing. As some famous person who ended up being quoted in our school planners said, "The past is a guide, not a hitching post."

#ChaseForBookNine]

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Guys, my job is to assess threats and find where they might arise, I've assesses this situation with altered methods, it always draws back to it's my fault.

Star Inkbright said...

[But everyone is biased around situations involving themselves. :)

#ChaseForBookNine]

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Star, I'm using the past as a guide, I know that if anyone dies because of this, it's going to stick on my conscience forever. I can't allow that.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I know I have a personal boast towards myself, but have I ever displayed the quality of blaming myself for half good reasons?

HECK NO! This is just the logical conclusion of my work.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Arra if you are ghosting then please stop. Say something.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I don't think she's ghosting...

#ChaseForBook9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

I know. We need to get the Remnant out of her now!

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I agree, we only have two days!

Losing Tanith was horrible. We can't lose Arra.

Star Inkbright said...

[I WANT TO GO TO SLEEP NOW.

I can't, beacuse Arraaaaaaaaaaaaa.

SERIOUSLY, THIS ISN'T FUNNY.

But I found another song that relates to Hunter quite well, so yay. :)

#ChaseForBookNine]

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Mara, when remnant-Arra, turns up, get Harry out of the fallout zone. I think the last thing any of us wants to happen is him getting possessed/killed.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I just realised we're five away from 5000.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hello?

Guys?

#ChaseForBok9

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Arra might be waiting for us...

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I think we should shift comments here, and go to the previous ones. Remnant-Arra, if you turn up, meet us there.

COME HOBBITS,WE RIDE!

[No more I'm taking this hatred from you
You make me feel dead when I'm talking to you
You take me for granted when I'm not around
So burn all your bridges, coz

I'm not going down (down)
This time I will be heard
I'm not gonna burn
It's funny how the table
How the table
Turns . . .

You fake (FAKE!)
Your damnantion
You pray (PRAY!) for salvation
Coz your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone

I hope you're unhappy and hurting inside
I want you to choke when you swallow your pride
Lay in your coffin and sleep with your sins
Give me the nails and I'll hammer them in
Right now

This time you won't be heard
And you are gonna burn
It's funny how the table
How the table
Turns . . .

You fake (FAKE!)
Your damnantion
You pray (PRAY!) for salvation
Coz your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone

This time you won't be heard
