(I'm not exactly sure WHERE this image came from. Andrew, from my agent's office, sent this to me this morning. Haven't a clue where he found it, but it is AWESOME.)
Hullo there.
It's my 38th birthday.
First of all, thank you for all the birthday wishes I've been reading online. You care, you really care... sniffle... It almost made up for the fact that I will have no birthday cake today, and I have no one to sing me happy birthday. But that's fine. That's okay. I was woken up this morning by a birthday text, which would have started my day off with a smile were it not for the fact that the text was from O2, my phone provider...
Even so, thank you, O2. It's nice to know you care.
Before you feel TOO sorry for me, I celebrated my birthday last Saturday, when we combined it with a Halloween party because three of my nieces will be down the country on Halloween night. So, y'know... my birthday was hijacked by three princesses and a pirate. But that's fine.
So, what did I GET for my birthday? I shall tell you. I got a remote controlled toy car! From my brother and sisters! They got me a remote controlled toy car! Yes! They did! For no reason! For no reason I can possibly comprehend, they got me a remote controlled toy car! Thank you, brother and sisters! Just what I've always wanted but could never put into words! Joy of joys!
So, after picking myself up from the floor, it was my mother's turn to give me the present from my folks. It was a shirt! A shirt! A blue shirt! But not just any kind of blue shirt! A blue denim shirt! DENIM! The most awesome material you could possibly make a shirt FROM! A blue denim shirt!
Truly, I am blessed. It's not like when their birthdays come around I buy them computers or TVs or designer handbags. Nope. That's not what happens at all.
So you wait, my family! You just wait till your birthdays roll around again! You cannot BEGIN to guess what WONDER of a present I shall be buying you!
Joy of joys!

Wait, Zaf, you have conjugations in Spanish as well? How about Declensions?*mutters darkly*
I speak fluent Gibberish. *nods*
Yo hable español y íngles. Quisiera enseñar gailic porque my favorita (author) es Irish.
I do to,
I also have a masters in nonsensical rants.
Ireland creating Halloween is one of the reasons it's my favourite country and my favourite holiday.
Your favourite author is Irish and that is why you want to learn it?
I prefer Nonsense, myself.
Eden, pretty much, yeah.
Has anyone seen Sir lately?
I'll tell ye the tale of Halloween.
*sits on a stump, pulls out a pipe and has a drink of some Guinness*
It's originally called Samhain ( modern day Irish for November).
It was a festival where the celts prayed to Dagda, the god of the afterlife.
*scowls*
I hate trying to think of names for things. I can't figure out what the magical law people or whatever - like the Sanctuary - should be called, or what the non-magical people should be called...
We conjugate yes you learn in Spanish 1
Eden, very good. I said: i speak Spanish and English. I would like to learn Irish because my favourite athour is Irish.
They believe monsters came out on that night out of the whole year.
They believed that a massive ghost ( pùca ) came out and sprayed things on the berries that made them poisonous and not safe to eat. And evil fairies would come out and cause havoc, like burn down the castle at Tara.
Awesome.
Val, nonmagickal people=Unimpowered
See, the history of Ireland and stuff is cool. All America's history is pretty much, "Oh, we dumped our tea and stole our land from the Indians and we're independent and blah." Ireland is cool legends and castles and stuff.
Hmmm this is interesting actually
Kes, I may have to use that. I'm getting tired with trying to think of something...
Thanks.
*nods cap*
Then we get farther into the future.
The English had invaded and take in all the good land making most Irish people dirt poor.
So the Irish remembering their old festivals went out begging on All Hallows' eve and threatened to curse the wealthy English if they didn't give them some coins or food.
Val, don't forget "We fought a giant Civil War because some idiots decided having slaves was a good idea" and "Lots of important people for assassinated."
But it isn't the fault of the Irish that it stopped being the way it was; they were invaded.
Is it just me, or did English people back then just love to invade other countries?
US history is "We fought a ton of wars and did a bunch of things that label us stubborn, lazy, argumentive, and in debt.
*got
*mutters* America's stupid.
Now we get to modern times where American sweet companies try to make as much money as possible by trampling on a Celtic and Christain festival ( it's the night of all souls or something like that )
It's not just you Val
SPD, exactly.
Val, no, definitely not you. France and Spain did too.
I heard a joke on 8 out of 10 cats, and I hope it doesn't offend anyone.
So as we all know America was late entering WWI and WWII so they made up for that by starting every major war since.
I know it's not true but it's a good one.
Ha! Funny.
It's probably true, tbh.
Or close enough
I don't think people would find that insulting. I don't know why people would think so.
Well we Irish helped America in a lot of wars ( since like a million Irish people emigrated there in less than ten years).
And a lot have emigrated since.
Eh true i swear if we get Obama re-elected we aint gonna have a bloody country left! Scuse my polotics but its the truth.
Oh and in my roleplay Zafira started a war with Ireland
And yet, we claim ourselves as a country of peace.
Irish history is a series of invasions than a series of cock up rebellions after another.
True. I know virtually nothing about World Politics, so if I say something stupid, just ignore it.
I hope Romney wins because he is the one interested in paying China a trillion dollars back.
And you start a war so the price of your oil won't go up.
Zaf, I'm not even going to get involved in who should be next president. But I'd guess you support Romney then?
The government owes eighteen times more than what they have. (American)
I support Derek Landy in becoming King of the Earth.
It's strange how little humans learn and remember.
Because about 80 or 90 years ago we had a depression in America ( modern day recession) and Germany still is in control and everyone else is content to let them rule Europe.
It'd be weird meeting me, kes.
I gotta go. Not that I was here...
Of course we do. Because we're all idiots and we owe China, what, like 3-4trillion$, right?
90. More or less.
I'd say Derek would just sit around and do nothing while he collects loads of taxes.
Much like today's politicians. XD
Bye Thrust!
SPD, don't we all?
We owe China a trillion. And in total, we owe 16 trillion (USA dollars) to countries around the world.
Of course we all do. Bye Thrust
No, we owe China a helluva lot more that a trillion. One second and I'll tell you how much.
I hope Romeny wins.
Bye Thrust.
In Ireland politicians are payed too much.
Former TDs ( MPs or congressmen) are payed 3000 a month for dry cleaning expenses.
While my grandad gets around 50000 a year.
Hmmm. I have to make a second dedication. I'm going to run out of people. }:{(
My dad snores like a pig snorting.
XD
It's soo funny to listen to.
Coughcough to Zaf
My dad talks in different languages in his sleep, snores loudly, and screams sometimes. I know all of this because he makes a lot of noise.
I dedicate this to my family, and Kes because I just remembered that we are 3-4 trillions dollars in debt.
My memories need to be sorted.
*cough*Kestrel*cough*
*cough* Eden *cough*
Awesome! Me gotten dedication! Graciás!
Derek for King!!!
Yes he'd make any non-Minions slaves and he'd train the Minions into a Munchkin Army
I also dedicate this to my classmate who wrote a paper on how we are in debt to many countries. I can't write his name here, so I'll just say his initials. This is for you, TB
Aww.
Well I suppose that's better than dedding to nothin.
Omg the mods for minecraft are so cool.
Is his name Tony Bryant?
You are welcome!
*holds hands up in peace formations*
Or tod Barnes.
No! Me no like peace! *runs*
My sister(she's 7) was asking the other day why we couldn't just print more money in order to pay off the debt. xD
Ooh they have vehicle mods,
Cooooool.
That isnt his name. I guess I could post his first name. But I can't. I'll do it secretly.
He is the hybrid on Vampire Diaries who dated Caroline, Vickie an stuff. He is the son of the mayor.
There. Those were clues for his first name.
Because that would cause inflation and would raise the price of consumer items and day to day living.
Thereby solving the bank debt but plunging us into further recession where people can't afford basic commodities and taxes are raised an unemployment is rife.
But...I don't watch Vampire Diaries.
End, surfing YouTube. Also msd
And where would you get all that paper?
Eden, I know that. My seven year old sister was comfuzzled.
I love Youtube,
It's where I solve most of my tech problems.
Exactly
I know you know that.
I was just stating it because it makes me seem like I have a grasp on basic economics.
What time iis it wher you guys are?
10:03pm
*is
It's 2 am here.
I sees xD
It's seven sixteen where I am. Sorry, I was gone because I had to type a paper. Kes, let me think. I'll try an actor this time... This is hard. Does anyone know an actor named Tyler? Whoops. I said his name. Oh well. He isnt much of a threatening person.
The people who read SP at my school, besides myself. My reading teacher, two classmates, and I tried making my friends reading it. One had a horrible opinion on it, another stopped midway and re-read he favorite series. Damn auto correction. Another hasn't given me info back. And in history, someone lost their copy of Sceptre of the Ancients and it wasn't any of the other people who read the books.
Auto correction corrects the wrong things and doesn't correct the right ones.
I just found a model of a skeleton under my bed. I'm going to find a suit for it. Now I know why SP isn't naked in the series. I taped a piece of paper on it that says Hello, My Name is Slulduggery Pleasant. My dad got it for me a while ago to show me the bones of the human body. My dad is pretty cool.
Apokalypte would be an interesting true name.
Defariate
Descolation
Sternbess
Corolat
Tsmari
Tamarisk
Vengiguos
These are all pretty lame, but I have nothing better to do, so oh well.
Money is made mostly out of cotton.
How are my favouritest people in the world doing? It's 30 Celcius today and I'm LOVIN IT!
That's 86 F :)
Boost.
Morning!
Any of my psychopaths around at all??
OMGG I've been so bored. We're putting up and painting these new shelves by the front door AND THE NETWORK SOCKET so I've had NO WI-FI since before yesterday lunch. D:
It's half term as well and I've been BORED AS HELL. I even started dreaming that I woke up and found the wi-fi back on. Then I ACTUALLY woke up, scrabbled for my phone hopefully, and felt my spirits plummet when I found it wasn't on. Then I went back to sleep and repeated the process . . .
And what had I been doing to kill the boredom, you might ask? Aha, you'll have to wait and see. I have my Boredom-Killing Operation all set up and it's a surpriseeeeeeeee.
Luckily, my dad took pity on me (I think it was something to do with me being quiet and not nagging - I actually wasn't nagging, I'm so good :) ) and he set up the network again in the living room. YAY. :)
I shall do whatever my dad wants me to do without complaint for the next few days.
Wbd, I'm doing my surprise. Which isn't that great a surpeise, but oh well.
Yay, there are people!
HEYLO LUSCATHIO!!!
Wow, I'm so glad the internet got turned off. Doing my BBO (Bored-Busting Operation) is funnnnnn.
Hello, Star!
Wbd, got to tidy my room...again. because every time I tidy it my sister will mess it all up. It's irritating. I hate sharing my room with her...
I am here... I'm just typing up my last 2 chapters of Dublin Daes so just nudge me when I space off.
:(
I shared a room with my sister in our old house. When we moved here we got a house big enough for us to have a room each, but my bro and sis wanted to sharw so we had a spare room. Then a few years later we swizzled it round so now we all have a room each. *glares at the screen showing the point of view of the webcam* I'm just sitting there tapping on my phone and it's creepyyyyyy . . .
My room was tidy before BBO. Now it has books and yellow sticky labels all over it.
OMGG I SUCK AT VIDEOS.
I love making videos!
I think i'm slightly obsessed with making videos...
I'm making a video now. Well, a series of videos. Do you know how hard it is to film books and gel pens on a crappy webcam?
I know... webcams are actually bollox for filming.
I just use my camera.
I have a phone and a webcam. But my phone can't email video to other devices, so I'm on webcam just in case. I wish I had Adrobe Flash on the mini laptop. I could make a good video on there, I know I could . . .
Flash and Photoshop. That's what I want.
ALTHOUGH, WHAT IS THIS? *clicks on Animations button* OH, YAY. THIS LOOKS PROMISING.
*appears*
YOLO!!

Wow, that sounds like a lot of hard work, Star!!
OH NO.
DISASTER.
I'M TRYING TO PEEL THE STICKY LABEL OFF TEOTW, BUT HALF OF SKULDUGGERY'S FACE IS COMING OFF WITH IT . . .
I CAN:
a) Just peel the label off, wrecking the book
Or b) Think of a better plan.
HELP???
B!!!
THINK OF A BETTER PLAN!!!
I WENT FOR A.
*stares in horror at TEOTW* OMGG IT'S MUTILATED. *cries*
Sorry I'm so distant!
I was talking to Zath and I'm still trying to tidy up!

Oh no...
IT LOOKS LIKE SKULLY IS HALF COVERED IN GREY SNOW. D:

ZAF NEEDS A HUG :'(
Happy birthday Derek! (sorry it's late, yet again my laptop was preventing me from coming on the blog). Stupid... whatever it is about blogger which hates my computer... possibly Java. Stupid Java.
And I can prove it's stupid. It keeps wanting to change things on my hard drive or something for no reason. It might be trying to take over my computer D:
