First Competition Ends!

Wanna know what I did on my birthday? Do ya? Wanna know what craziness I got up to? Well, first, right, what I did was I started clearing out my office, yeah? But that was only the beginning. Then I started clearing out the kitchen. Then I got bored and played a video game. Then I went back to clearing more stuff. Then I checked the Blog. Then I cleared another room. Then I went to my parents' house for dinner, and it was yummy. Then I came home and my electricity went off. Yay!

Ahem.

Although the day BEFORE that I got to see all my nieces in their Halloween costumes (because I won't be seeing them at Halloween). Rebecca was dressed as a witch. Emily was a bumblebee. Sophie was a pig. And Clara... Clara was a skeleton, because she KNOWS who's going to be giving her the best presents when she's older. When I have pictures, I'll be sure to post them.

And what did I GET for my birthday, you ask? Well... um... okay, see, when I say it aloud, it doesn't sound that impressive, but basically I got some photographs in nice frames...

God that sounds boring.

But I really am the WORST person to buy for, as Laura was complaining to me last night. Everything I want, I pretty much have already- so what is there left to get me except really odd things that I'd never think of? See?

But some of you guys here, and at the Forum and the Facebook page, did all the celebrating for me, which was really nice of you. In particular, I'm thinking of Valkyrie V, who actually had a party with a CAKE. And Val V, I hope you don't mind, but I just HAD to post a pic of it.



I'm not really sure what Polar Bear Girl has to do with Skulduggery, but I like her style nonetheless. These guys really went out of their way to celebrate poor old Skulduggery's deathday, and they are all astonishingly sloppy eaters...


And in other news...

The Ameriminions competition is now over! I have been HUGELY impressed with your entries. They have been cool, atmospheric, creepy, action-packed, sinister, and funny- sometimes all at once! Now I have the quite enjoyable job of going through them all and picking the line that is best suited to the story I want to tell.

A HUGE congratulations to everyone who entered.

Lilie said...

I remember Quoting it in my LO exam.

Lilie said...

My friend makes remarks when I quote it during the day(at least onse a day)

Star Lord said...

Hello, good friends.

I just want to invite you to YouTube to watch my latest video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvK2-EyoP5M&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Enjoy!

nights.raven said...

hi sarth, how r u?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Anyone here?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Well, Derek, it appears everyone is interested in your grand new post, but I have at least one more thing to say while I am here.

Thank you. I want to thank you with the most sincere part of me, and I just want you to know that I am truly apprieciative of you doing this for me. I'm glad that you were happy about the party we had, and we'd like you to know, that it's thanks to you we even had this party in the first place. I hardly see my friends anymore, I can blame our stupid school schedules for that, and parties like this are the only way we really get to hang out and have fun and be US. At school, we get to see each other, sure, but not in a way where we can be ourselves. And it's with your help I have the friends I do now, the friends that I love and care about. The friends I have in that picture are my best friends because I read Skulduggery, got Amanda to read it, started talking about it, and the people who would listen to my nonsense and ridiculousness are the people who apprieciate me. So by posting this, the simple act of posting a picture, has made me so happy I cannot describe it. Thank you, Derek Landy. Thank you.

Bethany said...

Oh, Derek. You really do need to learn how to party. A birthday is a particularly good excuse for one.

And I wonder which niece will be your favourite.

Chris and Kris said...

Well, Derek Landy, you have proved my theory correct. There are super amazing people with October birthdays.

(October 2nd= Theatregirl40's birthday)

L.A Speedwing said...

Huh, huh ( clearing my throat) how do I get your attention when you are so popular?(700 comments on one post) Oh well they say, you never know if you never try... So I wrote this review of your books (book 5:Mortal Coil) and thought if you liked it, you might consider feeling SO generous that you might want to err..i don't know... offer me your latest book( only a mere suggestion and you're free to ignore this entirely) anyway, here it is...

*Runs away, shocked of being this daring*
*comes back* oh and thanks and bye and did I say thanks?
*runs away again*

Jakro Tintreach said...

Hello?

Zathract Mist said...

Ready

Star Inkbright said...

YAY! THIS IS THE POST VAL WAS TELLING US ABOUT!

Robin Snowscar said...

Okay...

You got a name yet?

Star Inkbright said...

Nope. It's taking me days. When i find one, you'll know about it, trust me.

*admiral bubbles from my goldfish is evil voice* Trust me, Beanie, trust me.

Star Inkbright said...

*ist sehr heiss*

I think my fav season is either autumn or spring, coz it's not boiling then and it's not freezing either.

Robin Snowscar said...

Same as me Star

Star Inkbright said...

Msd.

Star Inkbright said...

Yeah. The hotness and the coldness are both really annoying.

Robin Snowscar said...

*nods*

I gotta go Star, sorry bye

Star Inkbright said...

May the fours be with you robin!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh look! We're on the best post ever!

Eve the ROCK said...

How is it possible that my HISTORY assignment is SO FREAKING OPEN-ENDED?

Zathract Mist said...

Hi Eve. :)

*scowls at science assignment*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Mist. :)

I had to mould clay with my eyes closed. Mr Larner is just so awesome.

Zathract Mist said...

I had to write about Shakespeare. Mr Baitu isn't so awesome.

Eve the ROCK said...

I never have to write about Shakespeare. It's not fair.

Zathract Mist said...

It isn't as interesting as you may think. Alright the plays are rather good, but there's only so much one can care about his THEATRE.

Eve the ROCK said...

I like curtains. XD

Star Inkbright said...

Doing about Shakespeare in English is sehr boring.

End of.

Just a passing comment, not staying . . .

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi/bye Star

Zathract Mist said...

Hi/bye Ink.

Curtains make me laugh for some reason...

Eve the ROCK said...

Defrosted chicken...?

Eve the ROCK said...

Curtains are NICE. Owls make me laugh.

Zathract Mist said...

Owls make me feel happy.

*grins*

Eve the ROCK said...

I used to know every kind of owl. Elf Owl, barn owl, longeared owl, shorteared owl, great horned owl...

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, sorry, back

Zathract Mist said...

That's okay. I wondered where you went...

Nixion Strange said...

Hi all

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, somehow I ended up throwing clay around...uh...

Hi Nix

Nixion Strange said...

I just has the fourth botest thing on earth today

Nixion Strange said...

*hotest

Eve the ROCK said...

Nix, you spell terribly even when you're correcting

Nixion Strange said...

That's right!

Nixion Strange said...

But it was made from the cyrstalised fires of hell

Zathract Mist said...

*throws a cabbage at Nix*

Zathract Mist said...

Hey, you guys seen Sparky's new blog post?

Nixion Strange said...

it didn't show up on my dashboard...

Eve the ROCK said...

CrUSTalised.


I'll go look at it. But why doesn't she come here anymore? :(

Zathract Mist said...

I have an assignment to do, so I'll be distant.

*groans*

Hey, is The Voice on tonight?

Nixion Strange said...

It was so hot, i had a slushe after, and it didn't even make the slightest of difference. And I'm not making this up

Zathract Mist said...

Nix, we still don't know what you're talking about, you know.

Nixion Strange said...

Hot wings. This shop who sell these insanly hot chicken wings.
I've had burns that were less hot

Zathract Mist said...

Oh. Okay.

Zathract Mist said...

Doesn't sound like fun...

*nods head to Not Ready to Die by AX7*

Zathract Mist said...

Crap, crap, crap, crap!

Nix, email NOW!

Nixion Strange said...

Oh my god, you people take writing so seriously. Just because somebody writes something, doesn't mean they actually feel that way

Eve the ROCK said...

I think so.

Eve the ROCK said...

What do you mean, Nix?

Nixion Strange said...

Never mind

Eve the ROCK said...

I'd like to mind, I have nothing else to talk about.

Zathract Mist said...

What do you mean...?

Nixion Strange said...

Never mind

Zathract Mist said...

I'm minding. You know this.

Nixion Strange said...

i do

Zathract Mist said...

*nods*

*shrugs*

*curses surface tension work*

*goes back to science assignment*

Eve the ROCK said...

Dinner. Bye.

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Eve

Zathract Mist said...

Bye, Eve! *waves*

Zathract Mist said...

...

*flops under the tree*

Izz said...

Servus alle.

What do you think would kill more people in a school shooting; a machine gun or a handgun with a silencer?

Nixion Strange said...

Machine gun. People running everywhere, confusion, no time for cover
... It just came to my head i shouldn't have told you that
Hi Izz

Izz said...

*sigh*
I've had that pumped up kicks song stuck in my head all day so don't be scared.

Izz said...

I like the silencer because no one notices and you could turn all the lights out and go hunting.
Hi Nix.

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but once they notice, they run and you can't get enough of them
Why am i telling you this?!

Zathract Mist said...

Yeah, but it would give you more pleasure to kill each person while they know what's about to happen.

...Uh, if you were an insane murderer, that is.

... *cough* ...

Hi Izz!

Izz said...

I see your point. I quite like the idea of just spinning around in circles with a machine gun. It would be like being invincible!

Because it's interesting.

Also I asked one of my friends at school and they suggested a tank.
*eye roll*
But you and I both know that's cheating.

Nixion Strange said...

It is. Where's the fun if you're surrounded by a big metal thing and can't see it for yourself

Izz said...

Hi Mist. I see you're a quality over quantity sort person.

Nixion Strange said...

I'm a efficent over pleasure sort of person

Nixion Strange said...

this is sort of funny

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSwxriNnKdI&list=PLEE6E4AF38BC19EC2&index=8&feature=plpp_video

Izz said...

I think when it comes down to it I'm a "quietly strangling people and getting away with it by burying the bodies in remote bushland" sort of person.

Nixion Strange said...

I'm just an insane sort pf person

Zathract Mist said...

I love the feeling of strangling people...
I almost killed my brother by getting him into a strangle hold once...That was scary.

Izz said...

I gotta go. I'm going to go to a stand up comedy thing at 8 and I need to get ready.

Nixion Strange said...

i'm not a fan of strangling. More of a quick death approach

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Izz

Zathract Mist said...

Bye, Izz! Be sure to make someone record it!

Nixion Strange said...

*snorts*
They got a new book at my school, and guess what it's called?
And He's the Good Guy. Stupid people, the title is Skulduggery Pleasant

Eve the ROCK said...

I prefer scratching.

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Eve

Nixion Strange said...

*holds hands over ears*
Stop talking!

Eve the ROCK said...

DONE!!

Zathract Mist said...

*has finished assignment*

*is proud*

Zathract Mist said...

Zathract Mist said...

*wonders what to write...*

Eve the ROCK said...

*scowls and puts homework away*

Nixion Strange said...

dinner
Bye!

Zathract Mist said...

Bye, Nix!

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye nix.

Stupid no paragraphs. Stupid new blog format.

*throws iPod at wall*

Zathract Mist said...

Read (again) and commented! :D

Eve the ROCK said...

*mutters* I didnt post it because no one else was going to read it.

But thanks anyway. I'm not making that a whole story though.

Zathract Mist said...

*shrugs*

Just as long as you keep writing it for a little longer.
It IS really good though. And people will read it. Of course they will.

Eve the ROCK said...

No. They won't. They won't read it because there are better things to read than some wannabe writer's story.

*sighs*

Oh god. I hate bratty kids.

Zathract Mist said...

Like my brother... He's bratty.

Eve the ROCK said...

No, I mean these TV kids. So annoying.

Zathract Mist said...

Oh. Agh! The Voice is on in five minutes!

*gets the duck tape out quickly*

Nixion Strange said...

hello??

Zathract Mist said...

Hiiiiiii Nix!

*throws a cabbage at him*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi nix.

Eve the ROCK said...

1st

Zathract Mist said...

Boom!

Zathract Mist said...

Oh. Sorry, Eve. You can have ded rights.

Nixion Strange said...

I am writing a Skulduggery Pleasant fan-fic. Please don't kill me

Zathract Mist said...

I am too Nix. Well, not right now, but I am in the process of one.

Nixion Strange said...

I have this idea, but the only way to indtroduce it well is with a SP fan-fic

Eve the ROCK said...

Nah, it's alright. I don't have anything to dedicate to

Eve the ROCK said...

Cool keep writing

Nixion Strange said...

I haven't started, but i get what you're trying to say

Eve the ROCK said...

You'd better

Zathract Mist said...

Oh. Okay.
I want to dedicate this page to...
To...
To...

...No. I can't dedicate anymore...

*gives Nix the ded rights*

Nixion Strange said...

I will... or do?
Did you mean I better get what you mean, or better keep writing?

Nixion Strange said...

*looks at ded rights*
No one wants you
Didn't i prove that I'm out of ideas to dedicate to yesterday?

Zathract Mist said...

Oh...Right.

*takes ded rights back and sighs*

Nixion Strange said...

Fine, if no one wants to ded, i will
If you do, keep it

Zathract Mist said...

Hm. Okay then. Right. Okay...

*looks at ded rights*

I dedicate this page to Eve and Nixion. You two are my best friends here.
*has lost sight of the long meaningful thing that was meant to come with this*
...Yeah...

Nixion Strange said...

Good, i don't have to think of something

Eve the ROCK said...

Both

Nixion Strange said...

But is it i will or i do?!

Zathract Mist said...

Huh?

Nixion Strange said...

I will keep writing, or i do understand
It can't be both, cause of the will and do thing...

Eve the ROCK said...

Thanks mist :)

...you've lost me there, nix

Nixion Strange said...

It can't be both, cause saying I will understand, or i do keep writing don't make sense in this conversation

Zathract Mist said...

Be back soon. Dinner.

*vanishes*

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Mist

Nixion Strange said...

I cannot get over HISHE. It's so damn funny

Nixion Strange said...

...Eve?

Nixion Strange said...

*frowns at time*
They should be up by now...
Derek, if you're reading this, have a talk with me
Lynxia's probably at school, so Hi, if you read this later

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye mist

Nixion Strange said...

I've got that hillywood HG parody stuck in my head

Nixion Strange said...

you're awfully silent Eve

Eve the ROCK said...

Hunger games,
How do you look?

Nixion Strange said...

No one, ugly, aloud
That line is stuck in my head

Nixion Strange said...

*allowed

Eve the ROCK said...

Hehehehehe.

Zathract Mist said...

Baaaaaaaack!

*is very happy with the progress in the Nix and Mist chapter*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Mist :)

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Mist

Zathract Mist said...

Hi, Eve. :D

Hi, Nix. :)

Zathract Mist said...

I'll send you the chapter soon, yeah?

Nixion Strange said...

dare i ask how far you are into N&M?

Zathract Mist said...

5 pages in. 2 pages approx. left to go.

Zathract Mist said...

Short-ish chapter. It's more of a filler than anything really.

Nixion Strange said...

okay, i got an idea for chapter 9 or 10

Zathract Mist said...

Good. Good...

Nixion Strange said...

Zathract Mist said...

*decides to read the Drucilla story again*

Eve the ROCK said...

You don't have to read it again. I'm just advertising this wonderful wonderful crap.

Zathract Mist said...

*finishes it for the seventh time today*

Eve, honestly, I can't believe that you say you can't write. It's brilliant! Tell her, Nix, she won't listen to me!

Nixion Strange said...

I've tried telling her, she stubbonly tries to say she can't write.

Zathract Mist said...

And not just that one, the Evelyn Reed story, the Olivine Grantie story too.

Zathract Mist said...

But you CAN write!

*rounds on Eve again*

Haven't you realized that EVERYONE who says anything about your writing always seems to include "It was great!" or something better?

Nixion Strange said...

You never get
"spelling mistakes!"
So I can't spell! Sue me!
Sorry, a bit off topic...

Nixion Strange said...

I think Colabritive Effort to Meet the Golden God crashed and burned... at the end, we seemed to be the only ones posting anything

Eve the ROCK said...

*shakes head* You're doing it again.

Nixion Strange said...

Doing what?

Nixion Strange said...

to much SILENCE!

Eve the ROCK said...

BEING NICE.

Eve the ROCK said...

Something about Seal reminds me of a Seal, and it's not his name.

Nixion Strange said...

it's his tongue

Zathract Mist said...

Nix, sending you the Ch. now.

Nixion Strange said...

Okay. Wait, is it done, or just part of it?
I gotta go soon, btw

Zathract Mist said...

All of it. Sent.

Nixion Strange said...

Wow... i saw the last sentence... this is going to be hard
But I can make it work

Zathract Mist said...

*grins*

I honestly made those last few bits up as I went along.

Nixion Strange said...

Sorry, but I'm talking out all the swearing

Zathract Mist said...

*shrugs*
