Lots and Lots of Photos

Okay then, as promised, documented evidence that show you Minions are an incredibly creative bunch...

Here is the first batch of stuff I was given while on the KOTW tour.


I've started to only pack half a bag every time I go away, because the amount of things I'm given while signing is just astronomical. What usually happens is that my publicist takes anything I can't fit onto the plane and sends it on to me afterwards. Well, the final package has arrived, so here I am to give you a brief pictorial rundown.


A skull! Signed by "le gang"! And a picture from the irrepressible one, Becky...


I don't have room to put up all of the artwork I was handed, but here are some pieces that stood out...







And I was also given books! One Minion had illustrated my biography blurbs- wonderfully unique idea! And in Liverpool I was handed Project Baguette, a collection of letters and notes and drawings and all kinds of coolness.



And elsewhere in the UK I was given a box! A wonderful little box!


But what's INSIDE the wonderful little box? Is it, perhaps, a set of wonderfully TINY Skulduggery books? It is!


The pic below is so cool. For those of you who can't spot the similarity, this is Super Derek, sitting on a stack of books, reading one with, er, his tongue hanging out of his mouth...

Quite simply one of the CUTEST things I've ever been given.



I've shown this one before, but I figured I'd do it again, and add in another two Skulduggerys (one from this tour, another from... three years ago, maybe...?)



And this! This Raggy Skulduggery that SHE WOULDN'T LET ME KEEP!


Because of the unfortunate lack of Skulduggery merchandise, many of you have had to improvise. Some of you, ahem, have improvised better than others...





Ah, the Tall Bonde! One of my favourites! You've seen her picture here before (I doubt you've forgotten it) but here is a picture of the BACK of Sabrina Sparrow's T-shirt...


And this is Sabrina's partner-in-crime Becky, giving a suitably deadpan freedom sign...



Naturally, Sabrina and Becky came with their banner- much like they did the LAST time they turned up...

(Present)

(Past)

And here's a picture of Mable and Sherlock totally agreeing with the message in my kitchen...


As I was shifting these pictures from my phone, I came across a few I'd taken in Germany a few years ago...



See that? Stylish AND practical!

And to finish it off, here's a picture of my cousin Michael, who came to one of the events in Australia and looked, it has to be said, AWESOME.


Once again, thanks to everyone who came along, and an extra special thanks to those of you who did something extra special.

Coolio story, Zaf!

Jophiel said...

Something awesome to do,
Go to a coffe shop in a mall or something, somewhere where lots of teenage girls are.
Order a coffee
Cashier asks for the name.
Say Harry Styles quietly
When your order is done, the chashier calls out Harry Styles
All the teenage girls fangirls
You say "he is in the car"
And walk out!

Best day of my life!

Jophiel said...

And don't forget to collect the coffee!

Jophiel said...

Empliff 238!

Don't ask

Jophiel said...

GOOOOOOOOOO SWANS!

...Hello?

Unapplicable. said...

Hello?

Luciana said...

Cal! *tacklehugs*

Unapplicable. said...

Luce! *hugs back*
How are you? It's been a while - what have I missed?

Luciana said...

I'm still ill. D:

I don't know. :P

I'm only here for this weekend.

Then I'll be gone, again.

How are you?

Unapplicable. said...

Ah. Is it still the breathing problems? Is there absolutely nothing anyone can do? - I hate the fact that you're just facing so much.
I'm alright; currently on holidays and being very, extremely lazy.
But it's working out.

Unapplicable. said...

OTHER THAN THE FEELS THAT ARE GOING TO EXPLODE FROM TOMORROW'S DOCTOR WHO EPISODE.
Someone reminded me. Scratch that, I'm being emotionally ripped apart.

Unapplicable. said...

I've got to have dinner but I'll be back soon.

Nixion Strange said...

Ahlo?

Luciana said...

Yeah, still anxiety attacks. I had seven yesterday. :'/

Sorry I poofed. I don't even know where I went. I don't remember what I was saying...

And no-one can do anything about the anxiety attacks. My HoH has signed me up to see the councillor... :/

Eurgh.

Not looking forward to THAT.

I need to start watching Doctor Who, again...

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Luce!

Luciana said...

Hello, Nix!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hi guys.
Anyone here a necromancer?
I'm doing research for a story.

Luciana said...

Hello, Eden.

How are you, Nix?

Nixion Strange said...

Cheer, cheer the red and the white,
Honour the name by day and by night,
Lift that noble banner high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky
Whether the odds be great or small,
Swans will go in and win overall
While her loyal sons are marching
Onwards to victory!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Eden!
I'm kinda a Necromancer

I'm in a good mood Luce! You?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

What's that Nix?
It's very inspiring.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay Nix,
So what is your power stored in?
It's a big part of the story.

Luciana said...

I'm a necromancer.

Though I rarely use necromancy.


That's great, Nix!

I'm...uh...I don't know, really. Let's just say I'm in a fickle mood.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I'm fine, got Internet at my house, no more waiting till I go to my dads.

Nixion Strange said...

Ah, fickle...

Eden, I have it in a cane sort of thing.

That, my dear Eden, is the Sydney Swan's club song. They won the Grand Final today, by 8 points

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay, what is the grand final?
* writes down a cane of sorts on pad*

Nixion Strange said...

... What do you mean what is the Grand Final? That question doesn't make any sense

Uilliam Kinsella said...

What sport is it?
Like the premier league in England is soccer.

Nixion Strange said...

What sport is it makes sense...

AFL. Australian Football League

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Ah, like the Gaelic football we have in Ireland.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Sorry that's supposed to be like Gaelic football in Ireland.

Nixion Strange said...

... I doubt our football is like your football, if that's what you're saying

Luciana said...

Sorry for being distant.

I'm trying to find my makeup...

I don't remember where I put it...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Really I thought Aussie football was based on Gaelic football

Willow Storm said...

Hello?

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Willow

Luciana said...

Willow! *tacklehugs*

Hello. (':

Willow Storm said...

How are you all?

Nixion Strange said...

Jophiel said...

Eden?

Jophiel said...

You got to be bloody kidding me! I missed him by like 15 minutes! I was taking a shower to cool my temp down from 39.5 C!

*Starts ranting and throwing things at trees*

Luciana said...

Msd...

I keep going dizzy. :/

And now the chest pains are twice as bad.

I should probably take some medication...

Jophiel said...

*Stops and pants* Too... Much... Movement... Go... Sydney... Swans... I... Love... Them...
*Lays down*
Ah, this is much more comfortable!

Jophiel said...

Okay. Hey L! I have tonsillitis and can't talk and my sinuses are blocked... I'm not whining, I'm just saying that I'm going through pain too! We can be pain buddies!
*Laughs then stops* *Pants*

Willow Storm said...

*hugs Lucy*
Would getting some rest help?

Jophiel said...

Hi Willow! What's up?

Jophiel said...

Guess what? I'm listening to dogs bark to Rise of the Valkyries!

Jophiel said...

Just watched Mirror Mirror... One word for that bizzare movie: Random

Jophiel said...

HAS SILENCE FALLEN?

Luciana said...

Sorry if I poof, I'm struggling to breathe..

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Really because a lot ofirsh people did and do emigrate to oz

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Sorry I went to town and since I'm back in a wifi zone it posted that comment.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I generally believe Aussie rules is quite similar to Gaelic
Because you can't throw the ball.
You have to hand pass, fist pass or kick it
And you cant keep running you have to do something while running ( in Gaelic it's soloing or hopping)

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hello?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Anybody?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hello, anybody?

Jophiel said...

That's okay! How are you Cal?

Unapplicable. said...

I'm good, thanks. A bit distraught over what I'm going to have to face tomorrow. (Doctor Who).
What about you? Are you feeling better?

Jophiel said...

I had a temp of 39 C at midday but I've cooled off to 37.1 C... Other than the fever, I'm fine! Thanks!

Unapplicable. said...

That's good!

Jophiel said...

Yeah, I've been living off cold showers and icy poles!

Unapplicable. said...

Alright, well that is painful.
You get what I mean.

Jophiel said...

Yeah, I've used two jumbo sized tissue boxes! I've almost finished the third... And I've drank 2L of milk...

Unapplicable. said...

In how many days...?

Unapplicable. said...

Hello Eden.

Jophiel said...

Eden!
*Squeals and tackle hugs him to the ground*

Jophiel said...

Hello, Sparky...

Wbd, I need to fix my makeup. I can't look like a zombie if I'm going out. XD

Though, I never really look like a zombie. Despite being ill, I look pretty much the same.

Probably why it took so long to get a diagnosis. :P

Going out for a meal with the family because it was my mum's birthday the other day~.

And I am going to laugh a lot because I have a new pair of heels and...*laughs* I'm usually pretty good in heels. But I do prefer my trainers, or skates. But I've not had much use for either in years.

Oh well. (':

Bye peoples! I will join the leaving party!

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hello everyone!
Had a massive panick attack yesterday, because I thought I'd lost my bus pass.

My mum found it this morning in a random compartment of my purse/wallet thing.
I swear I looked there...

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Hey Leni! :) I don't think we met.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Yeah I
I know it's hard to remember, the people we used to be

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I have lost my coat, pencil case, pencil case tie and I have taken home someone else's gear bag

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hi Maralie. You're name's really pretty!
*puts head in hands and sighs*
I'm not even going to bother explaining...

Maralie Lily Charm said...

How did you manage THAT Eden? :0

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Thanks! I love your name! It sounds really pretty and fancy :)

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

I took home someone else's shoes once Eden and lost my locker key quite a few times, but the most memorable times is when:
I put it in my pencil case.
It was at the bottom of my school bag (I swear it wasn't there when I checked) and had to share my friends locker's for a week.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

First year in secondary school, I really get why they tell you to put your name on all your stuff and even some stuff that's not yours.
It's even harder to picture that you're not here next to me.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Pretty and fancy? That sounds like a polite way of saying it's posh ;)

Okay, I'm going to point out now that it's Ieni not Leni.
But then only 2 or 3 people have realised it's Ieni of all the people I've met on here, so don't worry :)

Aimza-Belle Shrew said...

Hey Derek! I loved KOTW! It was a great book :) I missed you on your tour but my friends got my books signed by you so thanks very much for that x

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Oh, I haven't lost my locker key but I let it fall down three flights of stairs.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Oh my God! *screams*




























THERE IS A SPIDER ON MY KOTW! DIEEEEEE SPIDER! *throws balls of light at the spider and screams when it grows bigger*
HELLLPPP...
*hides behind couch and whimpers as a huge spider walks over*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Oh, I knew it was Ieni.
I didn't say Leni at all.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Ohh, sorry leni, that was the capitalisation on my stupid iPod. Oh, and by the by, I am moron so if I, like, mess up, I'm sorry.

Star Inkbright said...

In year seven, we asked for a three bus pass, because three bus passes are given to people who don't have a safe route to walk to school or would have to walk three miles or over. We weren't given a free bus pass, because apparently we only lived 2.974 miles away. My mum complained that the route we were expected to walk wasn't safe, and they said that it was because we were expected to be walking to school with an adult until we were sixteen. You know high schools - NOBODY gets walked to school by their parents.

So we just bought a bus pass, which was £360 per year. My mum was pretty worried about the price because sometime in the future she'd have three kids going to the high school and she'd have had to pay over a thousand pounds a year.

But THIS year my mum noticed that new year sevens who lived a few metres or so nearer to the school than us were getting free bus passes. So she phoned up, they checked how far away we were, and said we were intitled to a free bus pass after all. So now I have a free bus pass.

What the hell????

Uilliam Kinsella said...

When I first came on here loads of people thought I was a girl.

Star Inkbright said...

*entitled

Aimza-Belle Shrew said...

I used to come on the blog all the time - school and other stuff got in the way though >.<

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Omg Ink that happened to me too! :O the stupid school said I didn't need a bus pass because I could walk.
Now I am 12 years old. I live 3 miles AT LEAST away from school, and mum has work so can't drive us down. Mum decided just to buy a pass for €50 a year. That's an okay price, but my two brothers go to the same school and mum didn't have €150 for a stupid bus pass. Then mum called the man and he drove out, then said we could get a free pass after all.
Seriously though! Bunch of morons, ifya ask me.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

My Mum has to get 3 bus passes for me, my brother and sister. And we have to pay for ours, but it's nowhere near that much!
Omg Eden - that must of been really annoying. I don't really think about whether people are male or female...

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Awwwwwwwwwhhhhhh :'( I'm watching turtles on TV. There was one that didn't make it in time and he started - actually physically - crying. D':
