This time next week, many of you will have the final book in your hands. Most of you will be reading it. Some of you will be finished it.
I am so utterly delighted with the book and how it turned out — I really think it's the best one of the series — and so I am thrilled with the trailer that artist extraordinaire Tom Percival has come up with.
The clocking is counting down...

I have to go now because I'm starving. Have nice day/night/evening, until we meet again.
[shrugs]
Very well.
Until we meet again.

Okay, I am now wondering what I just finished...
There's a deer in my backyard...
:o
She's rather majestic, actually.
Lucky.
*hugs fab* How're you?
...
Do you really want an in-depth explanation of how I came to exist?
[hugs]
What would you do if I said yes?
Sorry, msd, wbd
Embracing my inner fashionista and giving advice to my mum and dad for their date/work do for tonight.
What do you think I would do?
Do you think I would answer?
If so, do you think I would answer honestly, or invent something preposterous yet humorous, or perhaps neither of those?
I thought you would think for a bit and come out with something like that.
(Random question - Fabi, how would you offend someone's religion by saying what you think?
I mean... If people are that easily offended, having someone just counter their opinions, it's a wonder every scientist hasn't been murdered already. :P)
(12 party pies, a bottle of sauce, ice cream, house to myself, watching thriller movies...
This is my kind of day!)
(Rose - sounds good. :)
My day will consist of a driving lesson and playing mass effect. :P)
*bursts from the tree line in an explosion of wood*
Here's Trippy!
I have successfully eaten 12 party pies...
Ow.
What on earth is a party pie Death?
YOU DONT KNOW WHAT A PARTY PIE IS?!??
Haven't the foggiest.
Sorry Death, but I must go! *chugs off*
They're like baby pies...
Little tiny pies...
Bye Trip!
(Rose - for the record: Mass Effect is not a scary game. Unless you think about it. Like you have to fight an enemy in Mass Effect 3 which is an alien the Reapers have converted into a soldier. And the enemy has a cannon on its arm made from a fused human corpse.)
Yeah, no, I think I'll stick with the 'I will pee myself if I play thing game' perspective...
(Lol. :P
It isn't bad. Not really. Like not at all. As I said, unless you think about it.)
Well, I think about things way too much...
Pizza + 12 Party Pies + Lime cordial = One very unhappy tummy...
Hia. Home with my brother. Mum and dad are out on a date/work do type thing.
We're having a movie night. I've retreated to my room because bozo (aka my brother) is going to watch spider man.
(Though I will add that I have stolen some popcirn, a tube of Pringles and some M'nM's
Well, I've retreated to my room because my family is here and my family doesn't approve of my style of living...
So I shall continue to mess around on the internet.
Hi, by the way, Snow!
And I just fell down the stairs. It hurt. A lot. Ow.
Ow... Well, I guess that snow does fall... You're just living up to your name!
I have a scrape on my elbow and a deep cut on my pinky. :(
(Back.)
I am practicing the skill of eating m&m's with one finger
(Master the skill, Snow. It will be invaluable.
Oh and, here is the Mass Effect 3 launch trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AluTOOCVXVQ
)
(I have arisen from my sleep. And from my bed. With five days to go I question my money and therefore my ability to buy the book. I find myself considering the fact I may have to loan money. BAH!(
Listening to Disney songs to dull the pain.
"The past is in the past" -Elsa, 2014(13, whatever)
Such wise words....
(Hey Silente!)
Listening to let it go in other languages rocks
I wont be on tomorrow, I'm going down to Melb for the day... Yay...
I think...
I'll wake up extra early to talk to y'all!
Okay Rose
(Snow - I haven't even heard the English version. I don't even know the tune. I'm pretty happy about that. Like how I've never heard Gangnam Style or anything by Justin Beiber.
I feel pleased.)
Should I be worried that I know let it go word for word or...?
@Drag *claps*
(I'll stick with my soundtracks and my 80s music.)
(Oh and - Mass Effect 3 has the largest space battle ever seen across all media mediums. :) )
I just screamed out 'WHY ARE YOU SO AMAZING?! AHHH!'
And my little brother said:
'Stop fangirling over Hiddleston.'
He knows me well...
@Deathy XD
@Snow No. You should be worried if you know half the lined in the film and all the songs word for word and vaguely know the word to the title song. The one BEFORE frozen heart.
*laughs nervously at Silente* not all the words...
(Sorry I poofed.)
Also, this is cool: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN7mWHvwlBg
@Snow do you know the words to 'Life's too Short'?
Hiddles + Dancing + Disney =
(Sorry. I keep watching Mass Effect trailers and then I just start watching loads.)
No. Thankfully, Arnold, I don't XD
Got... To stop... Drooling...
(Noooooo Snowyyyyyy you MUST watch Life's Too Short! Its basically my fav song from Frozen despite not technically being in Frozen..)
Hi
I just watched it Arnold
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AluTOOCVXVQ
)
Good snow.
Hey Syk! How are you?
I'm good :)
MY exam results left something to be desired, but on the bright side my parents said they'd take me to the signing in Sheffield.
I shall also be hunting down the black edition of TDOTL in the nearest Waterstones MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
XD I don't think people tend to HUNT books.. but careful, I heard the black editions bite. *nods*
Well Derek did say we were going to have to hunt for them.
On the day of publication, they will be put on the SHELVES — not on a table, not in the store window, not on a table out in front, but on the SHELVES. So you'll have to go HUNTING for them.
I'll have to bring my sword with me...
(Very distant....verry!!! Veeeery!)
Yeah. And a net just to be sure.
Kidding. Good luck finding it! I just plan to get the normal copy cause I prefer the cover.
Or maybe even my dagger :P
(VIVVYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Couple of Tranqs just to be sure.
Well I have some money saved up so I intend to buy the normal one as well, and maybe even the shadow edition too XD
Greedy XD
(A bit less distant...)
If I had enough money I'd have three of each kind but unfortunately I do not.
XD late night and early morning conversations I tend to find the funniest. My brother and I just had the best conversation about Harry's sanity in Spiderman 2
Also you're only allowed ONE black edition per person. *nods*
I say again, VIVVVVVVVVYYYYYYYYY
Oh, also, what do you lot think of my profile picture? I think it's one of the best digital things I've drawn, if not the best.
Aww... Someone block youtube at my house... Please...
Hiddles is crying...
I'm crying...
Heh, such petty laws cannot restrain me!
I will make my brother and sister buy a copy each as well!
Then when they are sleeping I shall steal them.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(Almost here...)
Syk XD
Aww Deathy!! At least you aren't drooling now..
Snow it ace!
Vivanus. Vivanus. Vivanus. Vivanus. Vivanus. VIVVY VIVANUS! VIVVY VIVANUS! VIVVY VIVANUS!
(One foot in blogland, the other on the border...)
*sighs* nine o'clock. Parents back at roughly 11. 2 hours left
Dammit... It's so cold...
*Shivers*
So cold...
(I have to go now. Bye!)
*pops in*
*Looks outside window*
*People are wearing T-shirts*
????????????????
Give him a V
Vivanus is on his way
Give him an I
Is he gonna stay till night?
V!
He is so very polite
Give him an A!
Hey Vivvy are you alright?
N!
Not gonna wait much longer!
U!
Will you be up till sunrise?
Give me an S!
It's time for Vivanus!
*hugs his fan club*
Coming up with chants like THAT is quite difficult....
Hey Vivvy!
Hi Viv *performs signature wave of lunacy*
All I can hear from the living room is someone on Spiderman screaming "I need you! I need you!"
O.O
*waves back*
*throws a saber to everyone present*
En guard
*Catches saber*
Okay, what am I hitting?
*catches saber with a glinting eye*
I was practicing sword fighting earlier. Only with a walking stick. And the air.
*catches the saber*
*throws it away and draws two epées*
P-lease.
*leans on saber* I might just watch
(Distant)
Wait, I get it.
*Nods in understanding*
You want me to hit you.
No he wants you to stab him not HIT him.
Sabers are used mostly for slashing though, they aren't very effective for stabbing because they're curved.
*frowns* but hitting would be so much more fun...
Actually I want you to hit me...hence the sabers.
That is a point..
I prefer the epée. More...elegant.
Okay!
*punches Viv in the face and runs away laughing*
Personally I prefer the katana or the wakizashi.
(bbs.)
I also like using two swords.
*nods a Arnold* exalent.
*laughs a litte and remains leaning on the saber*
*whips out a claymore*
Gtg
^______^
(ℹVℹ)
(#)___(#)
Hoot hoot
Bye Viv!
Damn... I didn't even get to hit him...
You're killing me. I'm dying. This is awesome. It's unfortunate that after it comes out I won't be able to revel in its beauty. Because I will be dead.
*hits Sky and leaves*
I might have to leave soon as well. I have A level chemistry that demands my attention.
SCREW YOU VIVANUS!
*Chases after him*
That was a little harsh, Syk...
(back.)
(I'm just kidding, no offense intended :))
*runs out of breath*
You best watch your back because next time I will have my revenge!
I never thought I'd say this... But I'm happier now that I'm gone. I can focus on my life- making new friends, my school, my club, my future in my major... All of it.
I never realized that having the addiction to coming here would be so... Detrimental to who I am... The drama, the lies, the harsh words, all of it- I've lost my love for it completely.
In fact, nowadays when Alastair and I write on TLC, it's just... Realistic. It's nice, and it's also nice to watch our characters grow. Sweet, really.
I honestly never thought....
But since I left here, I stopped harming myself. I've some it... Way too many times, I think... I mean, when my brothers went off to their respective universities two days ago, I was so heartbroken... I considered harming myself again, but I found that I was repelled by the idea, instead of enchanted. In my book, that is another big, big step.
All being said, I don't plan on ever being a regular here again. The bullying slandered that idea, but I feel that since I was bullied, I'm now more independent because of it. I also don't give a shit about what anyone thinks anymore. Which is why I'm leaving permanently. Not the leaving which a lot of people do, where they say they leave, and return two days later. Forever. This chapter of my life is gone, and I'm moving on from it.
So I wish some of you happy lives and success. Others, I wish for healing, and growth.
And so...
Sayonara.
(Wait how am I rping?! I only have a clone and a dead body!! .. SIL2 I CHOOSE YOU!)
(Or doew the clone count as Sil2....NAH!)
Sil2: *laughs at Syk*
THAT is embarrassing.
(Bye then Adra. Live a good life. And live it to the full. We all love and will miss you. I'm proud. Bye..)
Bye Adra. We'll miss you. But I respect your decision
さよなら Adra-san
I wish you luck.
Congratulations Adra on taking such a big step. Good luck.
Arnold, if you don't mind my asking, how old are you irl?
You don't have to answer. I'm just curious.
Bye Adra.
<3
I'll miss you.
@Snow 14 years of age. Going 15 this November. Why?
Hi
never mind, I have to go
Swansea vs Burnley
byii
Time for sleepytime...
Heh...
Goodnight!
Actually, I might be on here until I drop.
It seems I have to go now.
Bye! *waves then disappears*
Bye Syk!
(Sorry food came up..back now!)
I just realised there might be some people on here who'll think I'm new.
BAHAHAHAHAHA
WB Sil!
I REMEMBER YOU HEL!!
*Cuddles*
HEY!!
Hey Death! How've you been?
(*tilts head* hmm...hello person. Sil has not met you before...Sil2 I CHOOSE YOU! *throws pokéball*)
Sil2: *looks Helena up and down*
*allows a slow smile to seep onto her twelve year old lips*
I've been... A hell lot better, quite honestly... You?
(*huggles Deathy* I hope chew get better)
I don't know what my emotions are from Adra leaving.-Zaf
(I hope me gets better too...)
(I know, Zaf...)
Death, I'm glad. *smiles* I have been hella busy. So busy.
Sil, we've never met before. *holds out hand* Helena Ember Sky, pleasure to meet you.
OMG HELENA HI!!!!!!-Zaf
(*huggles Zaf* if she's happier then its probably for the best.. we should be happy for her...)
Sil2: *looks at the hand and raises an eyebrow*
Pleasure? Hmmm.
She never was exactly overly fond of me, so I guess maybe I'm happy she found something in her life to keep her happy, or perhaps I'm a bit saddened. I don't know, it's definetly not the joy she probably thinks I feel right now. Eh, if it floats her boat, maybe she'll comment once in a while, new posts ect, but hey. Can't exactly change what Adra feels.
-Zaf
Hey guys! how are y'all?
ZAF IT'S BEEN LITERALLY AT LEAST A YEAR OH MY GOD
*takes back hand*
Alright Sil. However you want to play.
Rhy! Hey bro!
(Hey Chadian! How art thou?)
Rose! Sup sis?
Chadian...?
Sil2: *smiles*
Hey.
Nothing much, just realising that I'm going to have to follow Adra's example the start of next year, drop away for two years.m, then maybe come back...
You?
I'm alright I suppose. Just eally bored of the summer hols, nothing to do until my friend comes back from America so she can lend me the next season of TVD (It's a guilty pleasure :P)
Heya Rhyd.
Hey SiL! how are you?
Hello Helena! have we met before? Omg we have the same surname xD
(Better today than I was yesterday :) thanks for asking..)
*sobs because Arnold is roughly 2 months older than me*
Good to hear Sil! heya Snow, how're you?
(*isn't sure why that upsets snow* *hugs snow*)
My friend and I are at a sleep over, we're in different rooms. Anyone got advice on how to wake her up?
Say Tom Hiddleston died, or send a picture of Loki?
-Zaf
Rhyd, I distinctly remember us having met before. I've also been on the blog for like 3 and a half years now so I'm pretty sure my memory's serving me correctly.
*doesn't know why it upset me either*
*doesn't really wanna be the youngest in the band, I guess*
*is pretry sure Clara is 15, maybe 16, so...*
*sods*
Okay... Sleepy... Dying...
Love you all...
Damn ribs...
Stop killing me...
Bai...
<3
Ah, sorry then but I am known for my forgetfulness. Feel so rude now :/ *dies*
So how are you Helena?
I think I just closed a door in my life....
Like I legit think I finally did it.
All the anger I had towards Adra, it's been gone for a while, but I really haven't seen her, but today I think I did something to close that door.
Damn. I didn't think I'd see that day.
-Zaf
(*hugs snow*)
(*if we ever all meet up we'll all be like 20 or something anyway*)
(*and she'll be happy about being the youngest*)
Nighty night Rose. -Zaf

Night Rose!
Sorry guys....I haven't slept in days so I'm grouchy
OH I FOUND A LOKI PIC TO WAKE HER UP WITH!!! Msd
-Zaf
*hugs rose and wishes her a good night sleep*
*doubts Arnolds words*
*never likes and never has liked being the youngest in somewhere*
*would much rather be the eldest*
*people are more inclined to listen to your mindless bable if you're the oldest in the room*
*nods*
Fellow Sky, I am alright. Thanks. *smiles*
Zaf I never really understood the drama since I didn't particularly pay attention to it but I'm glad you've both done something to make yourselves happier.
Good to hear fellow Sky :)
Considering being productive and doing homework....*looks at it* *more glaring than looking* Nah, it's not worth my free time
Night Death, sleep well
*cuddles a gerbil* Olivia has a gerbil army.-Zaf
(*laughs at snow*
*of course we'll listen to her mindless babble*
*she came up with Bloggers a Place of Awe!*)
Sil2: *shrugs and decides she can't be bothered giving her glorified greeting*
*bows to Helena*
Greetings. Silente Tempest, rogue vampire, master sigilst, skilled rper, drummer of be the glue. It's nice to meet you.
*nods to Sil*
Helena Ember Sky.
Dabbler in all things fun.
*awkward silence* *tumble-weed rolls past*
Sil2: Is that so? Cool.
Soooo.............
*laughs at Arnold because that parody was terrible*
*like, really bad*

*I mean, cows moo? Seriously?*
*it was not my best thing ever written*
*you lot are so insane for liking it*
*...*
*thanks*
(*laughs at Snow because that parody was amazing*
*and funny*
*and parts of it made sense*

*laughs because*
*"parts of it made sense"*
*Arnold, what am I goin to do with you?*
*did you read my new one? The door to door salesmen?*
*I like that one*
*it was fun to write*
That annoying moment when you snapchat someone and you be lookin fine but they don't reply.
I know that feeling Helena....
(*what are you going to do with me?*
*pat me patronizingly on the head and enjoyy the ride of being in a band
*goes to read the door to door salesman one*)*
*laughs*
