While I'm not one hundred percent back to normal, I'm certainly getting there. The medication I've been given seems to have scattered my mind a little bit, making it hard to focus- but there are only a few pills left, and once they're gone, my great and glorious mind shall return...
In the meantime, I just want to let you know that at some stage over the next few days, I'll be posting the REAL cover to Skulduggery 6 here on this Blog, and not Tom's sketch that has been doing the rounds on the interweb. Along with that, you'll also be getting the official title, which may or may not be what you're expecting.
At the moment, Tom is finishing up the cover and it's looking- no surprise here- absolutely amazing. You better have a bucket handy, because when the cover is revealed your heads are going to explode and your brains are going to need something to leak into. Which is, I'll freely admit, somewhat gross.

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."
[Ford Prefect:] "Why, what did she tell you?"
[Arthur:] "I don't know, I didn't listen."
thanks for the comment Kallista :) tis great u like it so. And i included the orange cloud thing! :)
"I don't want to die now. I've still got a headache. I don't want to go to heaven with a headache, I'd be all cross and wouldn't enjoy it"
"You guys are so unhip it's a wonder your bums don't fall off."
"My capacity for happiness," he added, "you could fit into a matchbox without taking out the matches first"
watr those quotes from lilith?
"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindboggingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space"
hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy rach! I LOVE MARVIN!
"The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question How can we eat? the second by the question Why do we eat? and the third by the question Where shall we have lunch?"
*returns from an unannounced brownie eating break*
And now I must leave... goodbye everyone!!
now thats a story i prob shouldve seen or read... but havent
For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons.
The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.
"I'd give you advice, but you wouldn't listen. No one ever does."
I could calculate your chance of survival, but you won't like it.
"So long, and thanks for all the fish." (Final message from the Dolphins, as they escape just prior to Earth's destruction.)
Ford: "It's unpleasantly like being drunk."
Arthur: "What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"
Ford: "You ask a glass of water."
"Listen, three eyes,", he said, "don't you try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal."
"I'm so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat inside me for a month. I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis."
"Ford," he said, "you're turning into a penguin. Stop it."
"Why do you need to think? Can't we just sit and go budumbudumbudum with our lips for a bit?"
"If I ever meet myself," said Zaphod, "I'll hit myself so hard I won't know what's hit me."
"I ache, therefore I am."
"This must be Thursday," said Arthur musing to himself, sinking low over his beer, "I never could get the hang of Thursdays."
Mine!
Damn it! I'm actually gonna leave now... I just went back on to read Derek's post again and saw the comment number and I was like, "What the hey, screw revision!" But now I'mma gonna leave...
The Book: It is important to note that suddenly, and against all probability, a Sperm Whale had been called into existence, several miles above the surface of an alien planet and since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity. This is what it thought, as it fell:
The Whale: Ahhh! Woooh! What's happening? Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I? Okay okay, calm down calm down get a grip now. Ooh, this is an interesting sensation. What is it? Its a sort of tingling in my... well I suppose I better start finding names for things. Lets call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, what's this roaring sound, whooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind! Is that a good name? It'll do. Yeah, this is really exciting. I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or is it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now isn't it? And what's this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! That's it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me?
soz tessa, ill sort it
bye! gotta go! :) (that last quote was my fave! :D)

Hi.
KALLISTA!!!!!
*hugs her back*
Well that was good timing ^^
Hello!
New chapter up on sam willows. It's short one.
Hi Aquila!
Hi Gepard!
*leaves to read the new chapter*
Hi Trohyman!
LOL, that's a priceless gift :P
Kallista can we go for a talk?
Dragona you've never read my book..
*sighs and smiles*
Hi Kal, Aqua, Drago!!
Trohyman, I don't like the tabs to the different parts of your blog, that's probably the reason I haven't read it ^^
Gepard! aquila! Dragona! (and Kallista!- so u dont feel left oot :) )
just off to tea but part 5 is up- http://rachelsawesomenessofablog.blogspot.com/2011/04/part-5.html
Well I love the tabs -.-
LOL Trohyman :P
*cocks head*
You shouldn't let me wash clothes... I'd propably ruin them without a washing mashine.^^
Hi Rachel!
*leaves to read her new part*
Aquila, washing MACHINE :P
... in German it's sch ...
Seems I left the wrong letter out of the word...
*mumbles*
LOL Aquila. Well if the words are so alike it's not surprising you confuse them ^^
A LOT of works are really similar... and some of your words are just taken from our language (and the other way round).^^
WORDS lol. And yes, when I did German last year (we did German and French and Spanish and French for two parts of the year) our German teacher told us... but I didn't pay any attention because I prefer spanish (no offense) so I picked Spanish and French at the end of the year :P
*words...
*blinks*
Spanish and French? All people I know learing both of them complain about the similarity between them, because they mix them up...
I could have learned Spanish and French, too. Or Spanish and Latin. I chose to learn Latin and more science, though.^^
I don't mix them up. If I wanted to I could buy a Spanish dictionary, look through it, then since I have a photographic memory I'd become a Spanish expert within a few minutes. But I'd rather not... it would be creepy. One way to remember them:
Spanish is y
French is et.
Latin is et, too.
That just over complicates things :P
What over compicates what?
OK Kallista :)
*complicates
Latin being et and french being et. That over complicates my whole system.
Awwww...
^^
Latin's everywhere... ;)
Oh, as far as I know, in Italian it's et, too.^^
LOL Aquila :P
Mh-hm. Latin's the reason for some English synonyms... did you ever realize you have pig, pork and swine, all for the same animal?
Swine is pretty much like our German swine, and pork is like the latin porcus.^^
*walks in and lies on the floor*
* mumbles something*
Hi Nicolette!
*gives pillow to her*
You alright?
Hello Nicolette, what's wrong?
*turns onto her stomach and hides her head with the pillow*
*continues to mumble*
*German word for swine=Schwein...
but it sounds really alike.
What's wrong?
Everythings wrong...
What's happened?
*looks at her socks*
*they are a perfect pair*
Found something that's not wrong...
Yeyy!!! Derek's almost better!!! What a brilliant mind it is…
I can't WAIT for the new cover to be posted! I bet it's epically epic!!!!
:'( it's my mum she was in a car accident in Ireland and now she's in the hospital,
theirs a 75% chance shell be ok but I do t really know and I can't even go to see her :(
*wanders in*
Hi all...
I'm so sorry Nicolette, I hope you mum recovers. 75% is a good chance.
Hi Thalia and Lunar!
Hi Lunar and Thalia!
*gives a Teddy to Nicolette*
Sorry, best idea I had...
Nicolette! That's awful! I hope she's okay! :O
I hope that she's ok Nicolette.
Hi Dragona, Aquila!
Oh, theres a new post on my blog, but it's not worth time looking at.
*growls in frustration at her iPod that changes her keyboard to German then Arabic and then Simple Mandarin.*
German keyboard isn't that different... right?
*stays hidden under the pillow*
Hi Thalia!
(and everyone, since I didn't say hi)
Hi Lunar!
No, but it put capitals on my nouns and the y and z are switched which confuses me :S
As long as it doesn't force you to use äöü and ß...^^
عصتساسهسزس تستستستستس تينسنسنينيزب نينيتيتظز سكيتذهثر نينيتيتظز بهبطزبةيج كيهذزبمف حيتطاظحي يمينيا شكسمطع شكسنيتيعط شةيهبمي
I have fun writing nonsense in Arabic...
Brb.
I wonder how they manage to read and write this...
Ich speile Fußball.
It will make a very good spell checker though, when I do GCSE German…
Hmmmm... if you tried your spell checker just now it won't be that good...
It's spiele not speile...
Hi Kallista!
You play football ... Well I don't lunar
Hi Kallista!
I don't play footbal either. I don't really like football.
Yes it is Aquila I was just about to post I before e
Back.
Damn spell checker!!! :(
(I don't play football either. I prefer hockey and swimming)
I like football!
Speile... sounds kinda like speien... ^^
What's Speien?
...pretty much the same as spucken...
It has different meanings... like spit or vomit...
Spucken?
Spit... vomit OH right. I understand now... German is hard...
Spielen means play doesn't it?
Germans not that hard, I find it easier then french
*grimaces*
Well I find German hard Nicolette, and French easy.
Hey everyone
Football?!? Gaelic football is REALLY good!
yup, spielen means to play.
Hi Sadhbh...
I wonder how you'd say that... o0
How I would what?
@Dragona:
German should be easy with a good memory... ^^
Say your name. There are no vowels in the last part...
OOOOO do you mean you wonder how'd you say his sadhbh in a diffferent laungag?!
Dia Duit Sadhbh
^^Irish=D
Hi Sadhbd, I don't think we've met
@Lunar Tears - nooo we haven't! how are ya?!
Aquila, well it would be if I actually learned a single word of it. Oh I can say something, Guten Tag :P
@Aquila Felis - soz I didn't see that comment
Well it rythmes with five and in English you speel it like SIVE
I spell in Irish - much better!=D
^^
Now I'm impressed: you're able to say hello in my mother tongue. ^^
Hello!
I feel awful that I left so suddenly.
But I was teleported away to a place called Drama and English revision land guarded by dementors!!!!
In your what?
Is your mother Irish?
And I can say thankyou Aquila! Danke! I think...
I'll be right back
*blinks*
Do I have to understand that?^^
If I got you right you say Sive while you write Sadhbh... that's even worse than French... o0
I'm not in the best of moods Sadhbh.
Guten Nacht!
Eine Kliene Nachtmusik
Einstein
Vogel
Eidelweiss
My entire knowledge of the German language.
Hi Octa!
Hi Octa!
@Sadhbh: My parents are German... as me.^^
Kristlenacht. I think that is the Night of Broken Glass or something... we did it in History.
Back~
Hi Octa!
*chuckles as auto correct changes Octas name to octagon*
@ lunar tears - oh sorry
Danke was right Dragona...
Octa, you better stick to English...
(it's Gute Nacht! , eine kleine Nachtmusik, Einstein and Vogel are alright, but it's Edelweiß although you can write it with ss since you propably don't have ß)
isnt vogel like a bird or something?
Vogel isn't a bird, it is our word for bird.^^
