Wayyyyyyy too busy to write a proper Blog thingy- you'll be happy to know that I am 13,320 words into Book 8- but can I just ask why I have so many Twitter followers?
I DON'T TWEET ANYTHING.
I don't even know how to re-tweet. Or do anything.
I also only follow two people- Gina Carano, who rarely tweets, and Ronda Rousey, who only stops tweeting when she's asleep.
In fact, on the run-up to her UFC debut in February, Ronda and her mum have organised this cool "feed the hungry" competition. Basically, you log on, answer some questions, and for every answer you get right, the advertisers on the site donate 10 grains of rice to the World Food Program. It's free, it's fun, you're helping people AND you're proving how much smarter you are than your fellow Minions.
How could you resist?
Go to Ronda's mum's blog (her mum is a Judo blackbelt... how cool is that?), follow the link and try your luck.
http://drannmaria.blogspot.com
Also, for all you Twitter people, could you take a picture of the Ronda Rousey mention in chapter 52 of KOTW and send it to her? I would, but I haven't a clue how. My genius lies in other areas. Like cookies.
And on an unrelated note...
Big congratulations to Em and Chase.

Bye Nix!
Merry Christmas all!

Hey guys! I poofed... :P haha
Bye Nix.
Hey maya.
Bye Nix!
Bye Nixion
Hi Kessie!
Hey Eden! I see you.... CHANGED YOUR PICTURE!
You traitor.
Georgina, are you an owl or a wolf? I don't understand.
I smell an orchestra!
BYE!!!!!
I dedicate this page to Derek Landy. Derek you made my day by a lot and i love you for it. I hope you do end up making that consideration into a yes. I really do.
To Em and Chase, congrats it only took so long :P i hope you guys enjoy it and cherish the moments
To all my friends in Blogland Merry Chritstmas! I love you guys so much and i hope to you get what you want
OW! *looks at bleeding hand* GOSH DANG IT EVE!
Hi Nixion! I'll keep you in mind, as well...
As for the Necromancer thing, I'm afraid your friends are right- although you are too, in a way! Without an object, a Necromancer has a huge amount of power burning inside and around him. But without an object to focus it, it's useless.
Georgina no! Don't! Please! Not Becky!
And after all that, I must depart! SOME of us have books to write!
(me. I have books to write. In case you were wondering,)
Now everyone tweet Ronda Rousey!
I am in the same boat as Derek i have no idea how to even tweet
I had to change my pic Lauren changed hers to mine so I had to change mine to this I can change it back now though.
Aw... Bye Derek!
And I said on the first page, I tweeted her!
MERRY CHRISTMAS MASTER DEREK! :D
MERRY MASTERMAS DEREK!
Have fun writing Derek! I hope it goes well for you and have a merry Christmas
Bye derek.
An owl or a wolf? What? You mean because I'm up so late? Hahaha! Obviously a wolf, my name is HOWLett, after all.
YES DEREK, BECKY. Now hop to it and tweet, dear. Just once. Please. It's Christmas.
What did Laura think of her card?

Night Derek.
Wish you could stay on a little longer to talk to Kallie :(
Hopefully you'll be on again soon and you two could chat
Well, I'm going to leave now...
Adios!
*goes off to fight the remaining zombies from the 21st*
Yeah I feel sorry for everyone who wasn't on tonight.
I'm really glad I chose to check in on the blog.
This place is one of the coolest places on the web.
Night Derek...

WILL.
Kill.

I think I have to go too, I'll probably be back later though. You know, to complain.. Anyway night!
I think I have to go too, I'll probably be back later though. You know, to complain.. Anyway night!
Zaf, me too! And I might get killed! *dies of happiness*
I'm in shock now, but if I disappear it's because I've fainted.
ZAF HE'S GONNA PUT YOU IN THE BOOK
YOU ARE AN ELDER!! :D
ACHIEVEMENT!!
Bye Thrust!
*Move hand away*
*grinds teeth*
It's hard.
BYE THRUST!
Bye thrust.
DEREK WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE BEFORE I GOT HERE?
Kessie I know.
Why. Is. This. App. Taking. So. Long. To. Download?!
Hey Ember!
This is why I said I felt bad for all the people who missed him.
Kessie, what app is it?
Ember, maybe because it's past two in the morning there...
What app are u getting?
Oh, THAT'S what it is.
Hi everyone!
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEREK YOU ARE THE BEST AUTHOR EVER IN THE WORLD
Jubi, Doodle God. xD
Hey Zaf, where did that come from? (Even though it's true)
Grand Mage, hadn't that been established already?
HAHA! did you see the conversation about Doodle God that we were having earlier?
I just realised how annoyed I was about how iTunes hadn't taken a sixteen your movie I got out of my credit, so now my grandad will kill me.
But then I came here and Derek cheered me up.
Derek said he may consider putting me in the book i'd be an elder and i may be killed off...i can handle being killed off i truly can handle it
Yeah, that's why I got it.
And it's been like an hour...
Doodle god? What's that?
Zaf, that is SO AWESOME
I love him...
*faints*
YOU'RE GOING TO BE PUT IN THE BOOK???? OOOOOOOH MMYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!
WHHHHHHHHHY DIDN'T IIIIIII WAAAAAAAKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEE UUUUUUUUUPPPPPP EEEEEAAAAARRRRRRLIIIIIERRR?????
Ember, no clue. >.<
wbd im hangning up Blogspeaks
Me too. But I had already asked him in person but still it's so fun just to blogspeak with him.
My little brother will be so jealous.
Ember, and maybe me, and maybe Nix, and maybe Mist...
Mif.... I'm moving to another country on new years so the time difference between me and him SHOULD be less.
Kal of course he remembers you your in DB!!!
Kes: What are you talking about?
Okay I feel very wired right now.
Why does Kessie keep referring to ember?
September where are you moving.
I have no clue what Doodle God is, and he also said maybe me Nix and Mist in Thr books.
I'm moving to Vienna!! WHHHOOOP!!!
What country? i know the timezones somewhat
Who is ember?
Eden, I call September Ember.
He's going to put YOU in the book too????
LIIEGRSB GRHVK JFGOUVH;UIG IDKSYFTV
Really Vienna?
Whee do you live now?
Brb again.
Yeah, and I told everyone to after I realised because I have a twin now.
Singapore! I'm going to boarding school! *happiness*
Ember, he said he'd consider it, but I think he was just trying to shut us up.
Ahhh
*lightbulb sound*
That's a much cooler and quicker way of saying September.
Eden: Exactly. Thank Kes.
@Kallista Because they don't know a good thing when they have it! Also, Derek is just all those things!! He can't help it. It is just the way he is.
*hugs* Love you Kallie
What does a lightbulb sound like anyway?
Kes: Maybe....
BYE EVERYONE!
Anyway that's cool.
I always dreamed of travelling the world and my top ten cities were.
New York
London
Paris
Vienna
Rome
Moscow
Tokyo
Singapore
Sydney
And Rio
It has a kind of click sound or at least that's how it sounds in my head.
Florida is better than New York because I'm here!
Thanks Derek!
I suppose that's as good an argument as any.
srry for disappearing, went upstairs and got distracted :P lol
im gonna go to bed now, night all! *hands them all cookies*
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!!! (i just had too :P)
ok, bye all!
Hey Nix.
Bye raven.
Hi again Nix!
well even my mother cant put a damper on my mood
I'm ecstatic. So far, this is the best break ever.
Im reading Skulduggery to my sister, my cousin who I also converted is coming tomorrow, I might get a model skeleton for Christmas, and now Derek said he might pit me into a book!
Mine probably could but I'm at my dads house so whooo!
*put
Hi again! Yeah, it is really awesome of Derek to stay up and chat like that.
Even though he didn't see my questions, or something.
I converted all three of my brothers.
All younger than me but the oldest of them is going to be sickened when he finds out what Derek said.
Hey Thrust.
I think your name is cool.
It's the s sounds that make it cool.
Hi again Thrust!
*blows up iPod*
Well, I better skip on off to bed. Night everyone!!
Bye NJ!
Bye NJ.
Night NJ!
iPods iPods iPods.
They look cool, they play music, they play addicting video games, they make you want them, and yet the best you can do with it is throw it at someone.
Mine's annoying.
I love it, don't get me wrong, if I didnt have it I wouldnt be here nearly as much, but it's annoying.
I agree laptops with pain in the ass ways of portability are much better.
Same with me and my iPad but it can be a pain.
my iPad too
My iPod is the third generation, can't download about half the apps, randomly exits out of the internet, randomly freezes, takes forever to load apps and the app store, and when I have anything open as well as music, the music skips or whatever I have open randomly closes out.
Plus it has, like, a two hour battery life.
oh hell Taylor gone ninja
English Ninja? Does she wear leather and flirt?
Apple is both the greatest and partly the most annoying company in technology.
I love Apple.
Apple is awesome...
except for the fact that they don't have adobe flashplayer on any of their products.
except computers ofcourse.. :P
Taylor is a little crazy ninja she attacked me xD she too young
i wanna arrest her for it but i dont have the heart she too young and innocent and plus Derek mightnt be happy if i arrest a four year old
Lol
Derek told me to scar my sister's tiny mind!
I was laughing so hard I was completely silent....
Apple actually helped adobe become a big company and the stab them in the back with flash player but if you look up is winters on the App Store I think it's a flash browser for apple devices.
Oh shite.
I just realized I'm going to be at my grandparent's on Christmas night. That means I mightn't be able to watch the Doctor Who special...
*dies*
Damn autocorrect * iswifters
*grandparents'
i am recording it so i can watch later on and oh my god my niece is all so cute she said we need to celebrate for aunty erin being an Elder
Aww Kessie that stinks!
well you can still watch it later....
Oh yes, I'm going to record it, but I want to watch it as it airs! It'll be my first time ever watching it as it airs!
On behalf of myself and Chase, we just want to say a massive thank you for all the support these last few months and all the thank yous over the engagement...
So we've decided to put together a blog which basically we update as we make new updates on the wedding, the events that happen in between and so forth... almost like an online wedding journal.
www.chemeraldwedding.blogspot.ie
Anyway thanks again everyone and goodnight xx
Grand Mage, she's amazing. I shall kidnap her.
I have no tv at all for the past two months we're only getting it back the 29th.
Bye Em!
Congrats em hope you have a good night.
Eden, I don't even watch TV! and then the ONE show I want to watch, I probably wont be able to.
*sinks to ground while shaking fist*
I hate to say this...
but im more excited for the final Merlin episode than I am for the Dr. Who episode....
I FEEL LIKE SUCH A BAD WHOOVIAN
Ha I don't watch either.
I prefer TBBT and HIMYM.
what's HIMYM?
and TBBT is the big bang theory right?
OOOHHH!
NEVERMIND!
haha
*kills Jubi*
Meh.
Clara is going to be AWESOME!
lol i excited
GAH! KESSIE!!
i know... I feel ashamed..
I know that I should be more excited... But my friend already spoiled the entire Episode of Angels in Manhattan.... So I already knew what was gonna happen. So I'm not as excited as I should be.....
GAH!
Besides... Merlin is getting REALLY INTENSE!
dont get me wrong
IM STILL REALLY EXCITED FOR DW!!
And Matt Smith in a top hat...TOTAL WIN!
(I cry whenever I see a Stetson...)
HIMYM is how I met your mother, and yep it's the Big Bang theory.
haha!
my dad got into wearing bow-ties to work...
he looks like a complete nerd...
He keeps saying that Bow-Ties are cool and he hasn't seen DW yet and it's really funny... haha
Jubi, isn't it the final Merlin episode? So that's plenty of reason to be more excited for it.
Yeah it is the final episode.....
GAH IM GONNA DIE!!!!
n then cry...
n then repeat the cycle
But hopefully they're gonna come out with a movie...
That would be cool. Speaking of movies, I saw the Hobbit today.
As someone who hasn't read the book, it wouldve been a fairly good movie.
As someone who has read the book five times(yep, that's me): it was pretty bad.
Haha yea I saw it. I loved it actually...
I've read the book and it DEFINATELY wasn't true to it... but it was still really good.... Most of the book was just walking around in the woods.... so they had to add some stuff to it to make it more exciting and stuff... :P
There were plenty of damn good fight scenes in the book.
Just, please, don't give me an excuse to go on a rant. I STILLgo on rants about the Percy Jackson movies.
I read the book is it true they don't have all the book in it.
*movie
Thorin's flowy hair was amazing :P
I saw it with Sev and we were laughing like crazy when there was that whole slow-mo scene of him standing in the tree that was hanging off the cliff and his hair was all flowy and stuff...
heh heh
Did the riddle scene live up to its book standards.
If so, what's in my pocket?
HANDSES?
WHY DID THEY MAKE GOLLUM SO ADORABLE????
Eden, and they added stuff that never happened.
Storm giants? One metaphorical sentence
White Orc? What. The. Censored.
Radagast? He wasn't there at all in the book!
Saruman? See above
Galadriel? See above
Yeah I know they added a bunch...
but if they're making it into 3 movies.. then OF COURSE they would have to add a bunch...
Eden, STRING OR NOTHING!
And they cut two riddles, and screwed up the troll scene, and censored the part where they get kidnapped by the Orcs.
Okay that's bad, I'm still going to see it though.
Jubi, they could have easily done the book nearly perfectly in two two hour movies. The only reason they're doing three is for the censored money.
What no.
Lets boil them
Can't boil them
Lets sit on their heads
Can't do that either.
Well... yeah... people DO like money....
(When I say censored, that's me censoring myself, not the movie censoring something)
Eden, nope. Instead there was a censored fight scene.
Nope that's not in my pocket.
You stolesees the precious.
I know.
Damn producers and their love of fight scenes over Whitby banter.
oh lord slightly entertaining
Did they still have the eagles and the forest elves.
I'm a bur- a hobbit!
What's a burrahobbit?
Yeah
Well I'm barrel rider.
Eden, eagles, yes, but they didn't have the which scene with Gandalf talking to the king. Wood elves, no, they'll be in the next movie.
Tolkien is brilliant he's almost on par with Derek.
How can they skip the wood elves?
What happens at the end of the movie?
Im an Ent-wife!
Wait- thats LOTR.
Now I have to think of a ded.
Hmm *lightbulb*
I dedicate this page to the chances of us being put into the 8th book and to a merry Christmas to everyone.
Suck that Mayans!
It was basically right after the eagles dropped them off on a cliff thingy.
you know what would've made the journey a WHOLE lot easier?
Okay, that's not a lot of the book.
You think they could have done more.
