I have just pressed SEND.
By pressing SEND, I have emailed off the completed book to my agent and editor. It will now be sent to the copyeditor who, amongst other things, will be checking for grammar and spelling mistakes that I've missed but, more importantly, will be ensuring that everything I've written makes sense.
She will be checking facts and figures and timelines, scouring her notes on the other books to make sure I haven't contradicted myself... A good copyeditor in invaluable, and I have a great one.
It's done. I wrote the two Scapegrace chapters that I'd left until last. Oh, and I ALSO included the winner of the Die Horribly competition...
It took me until last night to pick a winner. I was sent 30 finalists out of everyone who entered. Of those 30, I quickly whittled it down to 15. Then, not so quickly, down to 10. Then it took me ages to narrow it down to 5. Then 3.
There were some great entries. Lots of funny reasons why people reckoned they should be the reader I pick to kill horribly in the book. But I needed something specific. I needed something that would fit in with what I'd written. And there was only one reader who fit PERFECTLY.
So congratulations to Lewis Holmes, from the UK. You shall have the distinct honour of being Horribly Killed in The Dying of the Light.
Lewis' death was the last thing I had to write. Now it's all over. Sure, I'll be sent the copyeditor's notes to approve, and there'll be a little more fiddling around between now and printing time, but...
... but it's over. I have finished writing Skulduggery Pleasant.
I think I need to lie down now.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 4942 Newer› Newest»@Silente: Word art.
And it's okay, I borrowed my brother's, which is the same company and type so yeah. :P
Well
I say 'borrowed' . . .
I'm hoping I can get the felt tips back sometime tomorrow. :/ He's going to bed now, so . . . oops. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*nods at Mushroom and Lantern O_O*
#ChaseForBookNine
I meant which piece of word art Star! :)
@fabi if your on and I get a ded I'll pass it to you! I don't usually like deds, I can never make them any good..
@Silente: YOU'LL SEE WHEN YOU'LL SEE! :P
And - you can make deds good . . . :)
I just don't like them coz I'm lazy. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
BUT I DONT LIKE WAITING STARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Ok, I dedicate this page to skittles and cookies. Just because they're like the best combination ever apart from maybe chocolate and strawberries but still they're pretty damn awesome.
However, I also dedicate this page to violent video games because it annoys me how everyone blames them for everything. I mean, people can't go on believing what is told in fairytales that people can be tortured and everything ends happily ever after.
No. Because without violent video games and other media like books and films people would believe that and there would be MORE violence.
Also to the combination of cheese and jam because it's awesome.
And I dedicated a page to a bumble bee for being to fat to fly but sticking the middle finger up to science and flying anyway, how in hell can I make good dedications?
There's this section in VA where my favourite characters are on the run, but whilst their friend is doing some research, they go to this library... And one of them gets this travel book and they take turns to look at random pages and it's just so amazing, because there's this whole scene about finding beauty in everything and appreciating where you are, not where you're not. And, I just... I think it's beautiful. Like, don't get too hung up on one thing, because there's beauty everywhere you are...
It's like... Everything has beauty, but we're too ignorant to see it sometimes. That's why we're so scared of other people and other things, I think; we're ignorant to the beauty. I think they're right when they say timenda causa est nescire.
Sorry. I got carried away.
Sorry. I got carried away.
And also ded to this:

[hugs Lucy]
*hugs Mushroom* :)
Don't ever apologise for saying fascinating inspirational beautiful things. :)
@Silente: WELL THAT'S JUST TOUGH THENNNNNNNN! :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello Chloe G! How iz thee? Haz thou ever met me? Doth thou rp?
@star hint?
Hi Chloe! :)
Cookies are amazing. *nods* :) :) :)
I love cookies.
I like them better than a lot of good things.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Silente: It has a black background?
#ChaseForBookNine
That has been my opinion for some time now. They're also right when they say the journey is as important as the destination. Just stand in one place and watch everyone move around you for a while. No one stops to take in how beautiful everything is anymore, people are just concerned with getting to where ever they are going as soon as possible.
Hiya Silente, Im gushing over my new hairstyle :) u?
Im soz but I don't rp
@star that's not a over useful hint. Is it the ships one? Or a AS one?
HI Star, it has been a while :)
I should be revising for my GCSEs tomoz, but oh well :)
Oh okay then Chloe..
*puts away sword*
I'm fine thanks..
MATEX!
*runs and tacklebearhugs him*
*being careful not to hurt Mittens the Kitten*
Mittens is safe inside my hat, fear not and tackle as hard as you like, as long as I survive!
*hugs Sil*
Not here for long cause I am still working (for some reason) but thought I would drop in. New blog post so should be a bit more active now.
Kya !!!!! I love Repo the genetic opera
Sometimes I like to sit outside by the pond and just... Sit. It's one of my favourite things to do, because it's just... It's amazing. People play down the importance of serenity and peace. They choose to go the fastest way to their destination, not the one that will bring them more joy. It's rather upsetting, I find...
brb I need to change to my laptop
Sorry, I dissapeared. I had a moment of genius and had to write it down.
You better be looking after him mister.
*bops Matex's nose*
*goes back to squeezing him*
*he probably can't breath*
*breathings over rated..*
*well not really its rather important..*
*oh well*
*still hugging him really very tightly*
Wb Edward
Yep. I like walking, especially in the city, or sitting on the roof. Or the swing, swing is fantastic. People look at me weird like it's abnormal for me to be on a swing, as though swings are for kids and I don't even care cause they're all too busy rushing away and I'm just enjoying life ^.^
I'm me, I always look after my kitties :3
*pushes her hands down, trying to breathe* XD
IM back
*listens to 'come up and try my new parts'*
Too fast to live, too young to die...
Whatever happened to sitting and just observing? Why are humans always so active? Can't we just take a passive role for once?
*losens her grip slightly*
*just enough for him to breath*
*resting her head on his chest*
*listening to his heart beat*
It's really hard writing in second person...
@Matex: Yeah . . .
The other day, I decided I would observe things.
I'm usually really unobservant, so . . .
When I finished my IT exam, I sat and stared at my school gym for fifteen minutes, and it was wonderful. I should do more of that . . . I mean, I noticed the stripes in the vents, and I noticed how some ropes were blue and some orange, and wondered which were newest, and I noticed how the wooden bar thing had blue paint on it, the same colour as the walls, and knew they they must be older than the paint. And I saw all the pips snaking across the walls in complex patterns, and how one had to come all the way across just to get power to the fire exit sign. And how the pipes were painted the same colour as the walls. And how there was a little pipe-end sticking out of the wall, most of the pipe being chopped off, and that was painted blue too, and at first I thought that the wooden bar thing was older than that pipe and I was like :O, but then I thought possibly the pipe-end had been painted . . . and I noticed another pipe that wasn't painted, climbing up the wall next to a painted on, and was thinking that the pipes climbed up next to similar pipes, and at first they stood out against the wall, but then, the longer they were there, the more change occurred on top of them, they blended it, and thought how it was a cool metaphor. And I looked at the lights, and I saw that the lights that were working appeared to be white with dark strips across them, and the ones that didn't appeared to be dark with light strips across them (the metal shining, yeah?), and how maybe when we were alive and glowing people seemed to be dark and not that great, but when they were dead, suddenly all their light was visible to you . . .
And I saw the ceiling, and how it was patterned with tons and tons of white strip things, like lots of curled up bits of paper on top of each other, and it was so COOL. And how some of the panels were not like this, and were plain white, and I wondered if they'd been replaced at one point or were just ways to get into the attic or something.
All this, all this interesting stuff just sitting there ready to observe, and . . . no one notices it. No one take pleasure in it. :/
Not even me. I never notice anything usually. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
We're so self centred. So obsessed with claiming the starring role. Why can't we sit back and enjoy the show? Why do we force ourselves to endure evils in order to be noticed? Why do we stress ourselves out searching for happiness that's already all around us? ... Why don't more people just sit and observe every once in a while?
Sorry if I'm being weird. I'm sat by the pond, watching the wind create ripples in the water and tickle the plants enough to cause a slight swaying. The smell if nature is intoxicating... The embrace of the weather is familiar and the serenity of being out in silence like this is indescribably perfect. The situation I currently find myself in is oddly therapeutic.
Star, I don't know if you saw but there's a new part of my ME story but yeah it's really short.
And Amber Sweet is addicted to the knife
Addicted to the knife?
addicted to the knife!
And addicted to the knife she needs a little help with the agony
Agony!
And a little help comes in a little glass vial in a gun pressed against her anatomy
And when the gun goes off Miss Sweet is ready for surgery
Surgery!
OMG NO CHLOE I JUST GOT THAT OUT OF MY HEAD AFTER MY PARENTS KEPT PLAYING IT I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THE WORDS NOOO!
@Mushroom: Personally, I self-analyse a lot. And I'm constantly noticing myself and remarking on myself and wondering how I react to different things and all kinds of stuff.
Which is pretty self-centred, now I think about it.
But the thing is, I'm the thing I'm nearest to. I see everything through my perspective. I'm the person I know the most. I'm the closest available interesting thing to study.
Why do we place ourselves at the centre?
Because we're in the centre of ourselves.
And - *hugs* Glad you're enjoying yourself. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hehehe its all ive been singing for the past week
Yeah the was the same case we me only I didn't know the words then it finally got out of my head..
Well, I can't sing, so lol, I haven't been singing anything. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
g2g now, I have to revise eng lit for tomoz,
gee I hate heroes
and I wont lose my bet to my friend
Bye then Chloe..
Good luck Chloe!
Star, you, my darling, are a genius.
Fours, Chloe!
@Mushroom: O_O
YOU'RE saying that to ME?
#ChaseForBookNine
I was so hungry a while ago, but now... Not really...
Meh.
I should probably disappear again soon...
*hugs Lantern*
#ChaseForBookNine
DAMN YOU CHLOE! I CANT GET IT OUT! ARG!
Of course I'm say on that to you, Star! I believe in speaking the truth, especially to highlight to someone how wonderful and important they are. There's no point in lying your way through life, because to lie is to steal the truth from another, and theft is probably the most horrible of the sins one can commit.
your love wore thin,
and i never win.
you want the best,
so sorry,
that's clearly not me.
oh,
this is all i can be.
*cries in a corner* N-no... It c-can't be over... not yet....
Hey Chi!
*amber sweet is addicted to the knife, addicted to the knife, addicted to the knife*
I think I believe in speaking the truth.
It's one of my beliefs that I don't really stick by that much.
*nods thoughtfully*
I don't LIE.
I just PARTIALLY DECEIVE WITHOUT LYING because I'm not very brave.
But the thing is -
you're so much geniusususus than meus, so whyus are youus sayusing thatus to meus?
It shouldus be MEUS saying that to YOUUS!
#ChaseForBookNine
am i still not good enough
am i still not worth that much
i'm sorry for the way my life turned out
sorry for the smile i'm wearing now
guess i'm still not good enough
*hugs Mara* :)
#ChaseForBookNine
fabi, did you see the live version?
it changed my whole perspective on little mix entirely.
No. :-(
I know you posted a link, but I didn't have time to get more than a few seconds in before I was interrupted. :-(
[hugs Maralily]
Damn . . . I was just in the middle of these really good thoughts and now I've forgotten them . . .
Oh.
You know how I'm really not that truthful?
I think it should be my mission to become More Truthful.
And I know I can do this, because I am Unstoppable, and if you think you are a way, you become that way, which is something my mum's been saying for years and something Derek backed her up on and I recently discovered its truth firsthand.
So if I decide I want to become more truthful, I can become more truthful.
*nods*
First stop, I have to tell C that this girl asked me if I would sit on the couch with her on the way to France and I didn't really here the question because I wasn't being attentions so I said okay which means I'm not sitting with her and I barely know her and C will be a loner, probably.
Second stop, I have to tell this girl that my friend C is going to France, because before I knew she was, before she was in fact, we both told each other that we didn't have any friends going and now I do and I didn't have the courage to mention it. Slowly stressing more over this as France approaches. :P
Anyway.
Yes.
I'll try and tackle that . . . D:
#ChaseForBookNine
*hear the question because I wasn't paying attention so I said okay which means I am sitting with her
*looks at my brain, mystified :P*
#ChaseForBookNine
Have to go now, sorry.
Amber sweet is addicted to the knife..
Addicted to the knife?
Afdicted to the knife!
Silente Tempest is addicted to this song..
Addicted to this song?
Addicted to this song!
Okay, Lantern . . . :/
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye Fabi!<3
@Silente: *laughs* XD
Listen to another song.
#ChaseForBookNine
I'll try...
I'm just translating some coded writing into a word document, and I've written "rlected" . . .
I don't know the hell I mean. :P
It wasn't "elected" or anything. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
You play ring around the ambulance
Ah like you haven't got a care
So get the choir boys around you
Its a compliment i swear
And i say ashes to ashes we all fall down
Ah let me hear you sing the praise
And i say ashes to ashes we all fall down
WE GOT INNOCENCE FOR DAYS!
Now I have house of wolves in my head instead..
*suggestively* Metal doesn't tend to stick in your head well because it's too complex . . . ? C:
(It's okay, you can ignore me. :P)
#ChaseForBookNine
Its okay I'll just try overload my brain or something..or listen to songs I don't know! That works right?
Yes! O_O
Damn, that MUST work. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
It didn't work. Damn. Okay back to plan a- listen to music until the brain goes numb to song lyrics.
Omg so for chorus we're doing a coffee house thing and so my friend and I are doing Dangerous Game from Jekyll and Hyde.
I'm trying to decide how I can dress as Lucy.
@Silente: I'm sorry . . . :/
This is why I hate catchy songs. XD I think they cheat, tbh. You should be attached to a song because of its awesomenesss, not because it's attached itself to you. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Zaf: Ace!! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Is it weird that my favourite character in Harry Potter is the awesome snake? Nagini, I think it's called? The really cool one.
@Dragona: Probably, yes. But I perceive weirdness as a good thing. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Exams....
Someone kill me
*stabs adra *
Are you dead now?
But... the snake is awesome. I mean, it's cute. And it kills people. And it's also a horcrux thing. Which makes it even cooler. I know nothing about Harry Potter. But I know the snake is cool. I want one.
*hugs Adra* :/
@Silente: XD
@Dragona: Good luck with that. :)
I see what you mean though. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
She's not replying...
Hey look it's the snake :D
KILL HARRY POTTER SNAKE
No now it got hit by fire. COME ON SNAKE KILL THEM ALL.
@Silente: :/ . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh god..I don't think she found it funny..either that or I literally accidently stabbed her in real life with magic some how..
Sorry for vanishing! I went for food, then got lost in my own thoughts. I have another new book idea. Which takes the number up to thirty five. I'm never going to finish them all:3
Well, she was alive at 9:54 PM my time according to email, so . . .
*hugs*
I'm sure she's fine. :)
Well
i'm not
but I'm sure she's not dead or anything :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Mushroom: Well, good luck, anyway. :) *hugs*
I'm sure whatever of those you chose to write, it'll be ace. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh okay then Star..
*looks at hands*
*shrugs*
Any who it is time for me to leave, so, you know the drill, SEE Y'ALL REAL SOON BABES!
*grins*
*disappears in a poof of glitter*
I'm so excited!!!!!
Sorry. Yeah two girls, but my friend has a wide range and she can go to the notes Hyde would sing so this weekened we're going to chroeograph it. We have til the first week of June.
By Silente, my vampire
CITY OF GLASS SPOILERS
OMFG OMFG I THINK ISABELLE IS DEAD AND OMFG JACE IS PART DEMON IMMA DIE
Fours, Silente . . . :(
@Zaf: TMI is cool. :)
And - yaaaaaay! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh! No, I didn't die, Silente :) I'm not killed that easily.
Bye Silente!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Star. It means a lot. Really. :)
*pops head back on through glittery cloud*
Did...did you just call me your vampire? You never call me your vampire. I've had Chi call me little vampire, matex call me vampy and Alastair call me vampire but you've /never/ called me your vampire before..
*smiles*
Bye, my mage.
*poof of glitter*
*gone*
@Mushroom: Really?
It will be though . . .
Trying to be truthful, here. :P
(Hunter thinks he should start calling people 'my human'. :P)
#ChaseForBookNine
?
Hi Jazz!!
Sorry so excited!!!
@Jazlyn: Which one?
#ChaseForBookNine
*randomly pops up cause her name was mentioned*
Bye Little vampire.
*explodes happily*
I know Dangerous Game by heart so weee!!!
*is ghosting, not really here*
Hiya Chi
At chiii
I now have Let the Monster Rise in my head
I would like to say hi, and that I am no longer dead. And I have decided that this series has just gone on and on and on. And that Detek has been bragging and making a big deal about everything which is kinda annoying me.
'I have just pressed send'.
'I have finished wiring the Skulduggery series.'
Duh. C'mon. Even I, the one who had had no official brain activity for six days, knew that. We all know. It's over.
I don't want to read a book that was written by a showboater. Derek isn't all he seems. Got a picture with him two years ago where he wasn't even smiling at the camera. He couldn't move the muscles in his face to make a little girl's dream come true.
Thanks for letting me down, Derek, again.
I read little vampire as little dhampir...
Damnit, Comrades, I think I'm as addicted as a feeder.
@Death: Woah.
Derek is a wonderful, wonderful person, just like you. :)
Of course Derek's arrogant.
He's DEREK.
That is a personality trait, and it has some good things and some bad things about it.
#ChaseForBookNine
I've just given up too many times, Star. I'm going to give up again soon. It's fun.
@Death: Don't give up.
Don't ever give up.
You know, perspective is everything. Everything everything everything.
"Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right."
#ChaseForBookNine
Well Rose, I'm going to say this: you are entitled to your own opinion.
*runs back on*
*stands in front of death*
Hope is not lost until you yourself are lost and even then you can still be found its just about getting up and making the effort.
*nods*
*huge her*
*which is strange*
*because I don't hug*
*but I really want to hug you*
*so hugs*
Silente, you're awesome. <3
#ChaseForBookNine
*poofs as glittery smoke*
*for real this time*
*I think*
*maybe*
He's Derek, we all know he is arrogant and egoistic. So? It's who he is, its his personality which makes him an unique person, just like you have your personality traits that make you unique.
So, yes I'm sure its annoying, but I don't condemn him, I'm egoistic, I know that.
((Thank you Star! Feel free to quote that, it randomly came to mind! I'm going to go before I start ranting about how much I love you all and how you've all changed my life because I can feel that its going to happen so yeah er bye see y'all real soon!))
*nods at Zaf* :) :) :) That's what I think. *carries on nodding* *stops, because all this nodding is making me dizzy :P*
You're awesome too. <3
I'm glad I'm a Bloglandian, you know. :)
Think I'm going to sleep now, though . . . D: Tired. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Silente: *nods* :)
It's a good thing to quote.
*stores it in head*
*has apparently fallen into the trap with Silente of disappearing but not really* *oh dear :P*
#ChaseForBookNine
Nighty night Star.
Also- I just finally really have figured it's best to just go along with life. I may not particulary like Adra, but if she came and was roleplaying or talking I'd join in. I just have to accept I should be nice, before I get myself in more trouble. I really don't want my head taken off the first time I one day meet the Golden God in person, that would suck. And I know damn well me and my 100lbs are toast. Though I can run! *laughs*
*its a bad trap*
*one that's hard to escape*
*but I am going to sleep now*
*I promise*
*I swear*
*THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL TYPING?*
*because I am okay!*
*NO NOT OKAY! GO! SLEEP*
*but*
*NO*
*but*
*NO*
*Blogland*
*SLEEP*
*sleep?*
*SLEEP*
*sleep.*
*goes to sleep now*
*leaves a blood pack by Silente's door for when she wakes* with a note signed in that offcial signature I use for documents*
And we will always have each other in our time of need, Daddy (Shilo) you're the world to me (to me).
I think this is such a wonderful line. I mean we all have each other in our times of need. We always will, so I guess well no I know this is my this is why I love you all to death. You're all so epic and mental, like duh! And come on so many things have happened, Princess Barbie Niccolò, and we came together to fight the demons and Alastair! And we came together to help me! So many...I mean so many people...and so many of us want Chase in TDOTL and still support it
Hi Jazz!!!
*sits and starts playing with dynamite*
I like dynamite it goes ka-boom
*sighs and realizes I need to work on papers so works on the lovely papers I have from various arrests in America* Ooh they almost got my brother!
Congradulations Mr Holmes! I'm sure you deserve to die horribly!
(Grumbles someone about jealousy)
And congratulations to Derek! You've finished! Woohoo! Yay. Happy... Happy.......... yay..... :(
I'm American Grand Mage.
Oh. Yeah Sanguine's my brother
i'm kinda struggling to accept that it's over. i mean
we haven't gotten the book yet but technically
it's over
this huge part of my life for the past....4 years?? is. it's over. it's done it is gone. or will be soon. this book will be The End.
damn. damn. okay. alright.
wow.
congrats on finishing it derek!!! it is going to be fantastic. and congrats to the competition winner!!
My gerbils are so funny.
Yesterday I had them in the car to go home and Snowball and Coco jumped into the house they have and hid, we stop for our groceries, I sit with them and go to give them a seed and Coco runs up my sleeve and refused to come out until we got home. Then we get hone and the cage goes in its room, they act like the car never happened. Then today I come home and see the bedding by the water bottle and the house buried, I go out come back and now Coco is in his nest, just a little head popped out and in and out and in.
Good job on finishing the series!
Did you purposely say "A good copyeditor in invaluable"?
*Huh*
*This place again*
Shout out to Lewis Holmes: WHAT WAS YOUR REASON??????
Congratulations, Lewis Holmes!
And Derek:
Skulduggery Pleasant will /never/ be over. It's always going to be one of my most favourite books EVER, and it's going to continue on. One day, some person will pick the first book up. Maybe read it. Maybe enjoy it. Will it be over for that person? No, it won't. They'll have no idea how much heartbreak and sorrow and laughter and warmth they'll feel while reading Skulduggery Pleasant. No idea. And it'll hit them like a sledgehammer and somewhere in Ireland you'll be sitting there laughing. It won't be over then, and it will never be over as long as people remember and read it. NEVER.
(also there's fanfics, and those I think won't stop existing, so...)
:00
guys
gUYS
ITS THUNDERSTORMINGGGG. :3
I love thunderstorms.
Also, now that exams are nearly over, I can get back to writing. In the next few weeks, expect new Ships chapters, new Nameless, new.... Anything :))))
I'll get to work on the other stuff before Aladra I promise. Well, I'll try :/ but there's so many things that they do and it's sooooo cool!!
So
I'll try, guys!!!'
And I don't think anyone's here...?
Hm.
Okay, well, I might go back to collabing soon.
And I need to find Twip -_-
:-
And Fabu
And Mara
And Em
And me
Plans
*sighs* Ari is so content on those Aladra stuff I got abandoned :(
*Right*
*So*
*I've decided that I need a name*
*...*
*How about Bob?*
*No*
*Definitely not*
*Not at all*
*Bob's a dumb name*
*...*
*Should proooobably figure out my gender first*
*Uh*
*I mean*
*...*
*Can't really check, can I?*
*Being a meta-physical literary construct to describe activity, and such*
*...*
*Ugh, and people think that THEIR jobs are hard*
*Right, let's go with a lovely gender neutral name*
*Like Bo-*
*NO, UGH!*
*Why do I keep coming back to Bob?*
*It's not that great of a name, jeez*
*Okay*
*Uh*
*How abouuuuut*
*Sam*
*...*
*Okay, I can live with Sam*
*Sam's not a bad name*
Hi Anni. Clara. Sorry Clara.
I really feel like now I'm not good enough for anything. Ari isn't even working with me...but she does with Adra, well not in person as Ari but....*sighs*
Why do I even bother? Why? For what? To be told I suck. I give up.
*What*
*Wait!*
*I just heard someone there!*
*...*
*I think they said... 'sighs'*
*...*
*Who says SIGHS?*
*Like, if you're going to sigh, sigh, don't just say sighs!*
*...*
*Oh*
*Wait*
*Unless they're busy describing someone else's actions*
*Oh*
*...*
*Well, I feel bad for the poor little guy, no self-awareness at all*
*Wonder why I can think and such*
*Hrm*
How come I manage to beat my parents at Jeopardy?
My mom loves the Civil War, I won the questions about the war.
CONGRATS LEWIS!!!
And why have cookies and skittles when you can have skittle cookies?
Good question
Or better yet, Peanut Butter and Banana....
*sulks* I came home sick because I was about to throw up in class. And today is the best day of the week at school..... :cccccc
Eww sick :/
Bad day :/
My condolences, Ms. Quinn and Ms. Dark.
Thank you, Sir. *hugs* There's just so much... Meh
*pokes Sharky*
Blah...
*nods at sir* might slip off and sleep.... even though it's midday
Nevermind my soul. My heart has just been shattered.
I just read through Dangerous Game with the notes for Lucy's part, and its so neat her range, its low and ends really high.
Ooh I still need my prostitute outfit. I think I found one but I gotta make sure it fits. Hehe.
Nighty night.
I nominated John again. Okay I feel bad now. Poor guy but still if you guys who joined recently knew John...Christmas man. Christmas. *cries* He's so perfect!!!
Bah Niccolò why did you have to steal that man's name?
John if Alastair lets you see this, I'm still thinking of you. Maybe one day you'll be allowed out and I'll see you again.
*wakes up and stretches, yawning*
*smiles up at the roof sleepily*
*goes to the door to get the newspaper she gets delivered*
*frowns down at the blood bag and note*
*looks at the note*
*smiles and carefully puts the note in her pocket*
*bites on the corner of the blood bag and starts sipping the blood from it*
*reads the newspaper still drinking from the blood bag*
*smiles and puts the newspaper down*
*lays in bed sipping the blood bag*

How have I only just seen this? I checked to see if there were any new posts like, half an hour ago! God, I'm blind! Anyway... How is everyone?! If anyone's actually on here
And congratulations Lewis Holmes, you will now die horribly in the new (and safely last) book! I eounder how you are going to die?
Whoops... Meant to say (and SADLY last), and also WONDER, not eounder, or whatever I said
Hey rue. Wbd
Hey Snow! What's been happening on the blog since I was last here (which was about two weeks ago)?
Yes, Derek. You lie down, I'll die of a fangirl overload.
Ah well. Congrats, Lewis! I'll just have to see if I can find a way to die in Star Wars or Doctor Who...
Oh dear...
Derek.
Oh dear...
Derek!
I don't want it to be over! Skul has been with me for years! And now I know he will be with me for exactly two more years (cause by that time The Dying of Light will be published in Germany, I guess...) and then it will be over. Just over.
I am afraid of that.
It's now just time to wait until TDOTL is released...
Just gonna quietly sob in the corner...
*not actually here*
*quietly freaking out*
*shakes fist at Derek*
Congrats, Lewis! :)
*returns to the shadows*
HELLOOOOOOO (if anyone is online).
Here, but distant - writing AU/other thing I'm working on. :)
I JUST GOT A SLIPKNOT T-SHIRT
:O
LIKE
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WAS GETTING ONE
WHAT
Anyway.
*quietly freaks out*
#ChaseForBookNine
ALSO it was absolutely chucking it down today and my shoes have holes worn in the soles so therefore my feet have been all wet all day and yuck it's not nice. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
THAT'S SO COOL, STAAAAAAAAAAAR!
I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My physics teacher still can't teach.
:P
#ChaseForBookNine
I didn't know your physics teacher couldn't teach. :P
My old physics teacher sucked too... :/ BUT THE ONE BEFORE HIM WAS HILARIOUS AND SO WAS MY OLD MATHS TEACHER WHO ALSO TAUGHT PHYSICS HE WAS HILARIOUS. I got along with the science teachers like a house on fire. XD
Probably because my tutor was in science though... :3
Anyway.
Crap picture of me, but if I spent ages trying to make me look myself pretty that would probably be falling into The Society Trap, so anyway - *points to profile picture*
LOOK! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
1. Amazing t-shirt!
2. Amazing face!
3. You're amazing!
1) f^%&£* awesome t shirt!
2) your pwetty
3) I forgot what 3 was going to be..
Hey Silente!
@Mushroom: Well, she can't.
Seriously. I rant about it pretty much every other day. XD She can't EXPLAIN ANYTHING.
Like today. She was being inspected a bit in the first part of the lesson, so we came in, and she had half a decaying equation on the board. And she said we had to work out how the particle was decaying or whatever, idk, I didn't really know what we were doing and we'd never seen decaying equations before. So she asked us to do this thingy on our whiteboards, and if we got it we could move on and if we didn't we had to gather round so she could explain it.
Most of the class gathering round. :P
Then we had a proper lesson structure, which was quite cool, and we had different tasks on the whiteboard at the front, and we had post-it notes with our names on, and we had to move them along the board depending which task we were on.
Which she'd obviously planned for the inspection thing.
So the first task was to look at this sheet which showed a . . . decay sequence? and we had to say which kind of decay it was and write out which isotope it turned into, which was simple enough.
And then I went to move my post-it note along and I couldn't work out what any of the sections on the board meant so I didn't know where I was so I ust kind of put my post-it note with everyone else's. :P
And then we had to turn over the sheet, which showed this rather poor graph that she'd got from the internet and hadn't even looked at, and so we didn't know what we were doing, and so she had to stop and explain it, but most people still didn't get which section was which, and then we were all like "What's beta plus and beta minus?" and she had to explain that. And then in her explaining, she explained the task after the first one on the sheet and showed us how to do that, so then we were like . . . okay, not knowing how we're meant to do this sheet. And she had to stop us and explain how to do the task, because we didn't get it. And then I did that, and then we had to do decaying equations, which none of us had ever done before, and I kind of followed the guide on the board but didn't know how to write a beta particle so I had to ask.
And then after that I went up to the board and moved myself along, and then I didn't know what the next task was saying, and all these people were gathered around Miss on the computer, and they were doing something or other, and then I think they had to wander around them classroom or summat, but I didn't have a clue what the hell I was doing so I just kind of sat there in my seat like . . . yeah . . .
And then me and C were giving each other frustrated looks from across the classroom, and she hadn't understood the graph and didn't know how to write decaying equations, so . . . waste of a lesson!
And yeah.
-_-
Typical lesson there. We don't know what we're doing and she can't explain anything and when she does, she just kind of tells us which basic buttons to press on the remote rather than telling we what we're actually doing and why and what's going on.
Apparently the top three sets taking Triple Science are meant to have the best teachers.
Yeah.
Of course.
If that's the best teacher in an Outstanding school, then . . . !
#ChaseForBookNine
@Mushroom and Silente: Thanks!!! *hugs*
I'm not pretty, though, and prettiness doesn't even matter so I don't even mind so it's cool. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I DEDICATE TO MERCHANDISE! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Star - I am so sorry that your teacher sucks. :(
Also, prettiness is a subjective concept, meaning you may not see the beauty that Silente and I see in you, but it doesn't mean it's not there - just that you see things differently to us. :)
@Mushroom: Eh.
*frowns*
No, I'm not pretty. :P
Going slightly off-topic - my sister's taken to just kind of twisting her hair when it's wet, like when you twist it around like . . . like yeah, and then it hangs in pretty things-that-are-not-curly-so-they're-not-ringlets-but-they're-kind-of-the-long-wavy-nonringletty-equivilant, and it's so pretty, and I'm just like :O, because who would think to do that?
I would never have thought to do that.
I wonder how she thought of it.
And - it's okay. :) Everyone will have crap teachers. I just like ranting about mine.
Seriously, I just come home and rant about teachers. :P
I have no life.
It's like how when I can't do something, I sit there and rant about how I can't do it rather than thinking of ways in which I could do it. :P
C says she makes a list of all the things she could do to do it and ticks them off.
That's . . . that's sucha good idea. O_O
WOW, I'm rambly today. :P
Sorry, I should distonate and finish my ships word art . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Derek*
Wow. Congratulations. You made it. :)
ANd so did your fandom. THey may have FELT dead from feels at times, but the fandom survives and meets the end with you. Which is kinda cool. :)
(Not sure whether we'll all survive TDOTL but up unitl HERE, at least.. :P)
Also- YAy! For Lewis Holmes. :)
*curls up in a corner*
*is here*
#ChaseForBook9
I REMEMBER THE THIRD THING, THE THIRD THING WAS THAT I'D BE DISTANT!
Hey guys. How are you?
I think you are. :)
My sister does that. I do too, actually. When my hair's wet, I'll either twist it or tie it up into a bun or tie it into a plait. When I put it in a plait, it goes all crazy and wavy and looks gorgeous under a baseball cap, with a pair of high-waisted short shorts, a cropped top and sneakers. c:
Your sister is really cool!:)
I have a really crappy Lit teacher... :/ I hope I don't have her again next year...
Oh, hello, Taia. :)
Usually you say you're not here. It's quite a nice surprise to see you are. :P
Hey Silente! :)
I'm . . . good! I just got a Slipknot t-shirt!
*will have to change profile picture to something less crappy soon :P*
You? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Mushroom: Well, thank you. :)
I told my friend that her hair was really nice today (it is, as well. It's, like, down to her waist, and it's kind of dark blonde, and it's thick and it was in a fishtail plait today and it's just so NICE, her hair), and she just went "What do you want?"
I didn't want anything! I just liked her hair! :(
That's rather sad, actually . . .
And - that sounds really cool! :)
Eh. My sister is a bit evil tbh. :P
She is cool, though . . . <3
And - :( . . .
I hope you don't, either.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Taia! Long time no talk!:)
I'm fine thanks!
As I said the shirts awesome. Like awwwwwwwwwwwesome.
You're welcome, Star. :)
That's... That really is sad. :(
... I recently fell in love with being stylish. I apologise sincerely. I've changed a lot lately. Like, I'm determined to lose a bit of weight (I want that perfect hourglass figure so bad it's not even funny), I'm trying to get a cuter wardrobe, I'm forcing myself to take breaks in the day to just... To just chill. I'm getting better with everything. I'm becoming more sociable too. :3 And I'm mega extroverted now. When I first came to Blogland I was so shy, but now I'm one of the loudest people in my classes and I really like that about myself. It's showing how much I've changed and, I think, I've changed for the better... :3
I think sisters have to be evil. :P It's in the handbook;)
:)
Hey Star! :)
*laughs* Welp, nice surprises are nice, soooooo... *bows* Thanks! :P
And- Your physics teacher sounds sucky at physics teaching. :(
My physics teacher has been GREAT, though, so if you ever need any help, I could try, if ye wanted. :) ^^
And- AWESOME! on the Slipknot shirt. :):):)
Hey Luce! :) It's good to see you! C:
Hi Silente! :)
#CHaseForBook9
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman... Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swinging
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you, only sweeter
Growing up, growing up
Hey Taia! How are you?
Thanks, Silente!!! :)
@Mushroom: It's good you're being less shy and stuffs. :) :) :) I think it's a change for the better, toooo . . .
Yeah, me too, in a way - I mean, I used to kind of sit there and get on with my work, and now everyone kind of turns round and looks at me because I'm ranting to myself so loudly. :P
I don't think wanting to be stylish is that good though, because I don't think how people look is majorly important. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm glad you've become the insane person you are today, Star. You're such a bubble. I love it.
I think it's still important, but not majorly. It's just another way of expression, I think... ^-^
*hugs Luci*
It's brilliant to hear you're feeling good about yourself.
Because, like... You can feel good about a lot of things, but I think... Feeling better feels a lot better when you're feeling better about yourself. I don't think I phrased that very well (:P), but, like, you can feel good about a lot of things, but other things feel good when you feel good about yourself, too. idk.
But it's important, I think, so I'm glad that you've got that. :)
And- If being stylish makes you feel good, if that's what you love, then go for it, right? :)
