Well... that was fun.
My first time on Twitter proved to be something of an avalanche. You know, in a "oh my god run run run" kinda way.
I'll be using it to tell little stories here and there. Some of them will be Skulduggery related, some of them won't- such as the cute little axe murderer story from Saturday night. Some of them may even be related to the series I'll be writing AFTER Skulduggery. Ooooooh! (But I don't know about this. I literally just thought of that right there.)
I'd like to be able to post stories quite regularly, but I'm not committing myself to anything right now. Neither am I going to be using Twitter in the normal way. Instead, I'll be typing with my toes.
No, wait, that's not what I mean. I mean, I have rules. RULES! And they shall not be broken!
RULE 1: I SHALL NOT FOLLOW!
I only follow two people, and both of those just happen to be attractive lady fighters. That's a pure coincidence, I swear.
My point is, I am not going to open up Twitter every day and see a thousand different streams of tweets from a thousand different people. This will EAT UP MY TIME, and I cannot allow this to happen.
RULE 2: I SHALL NOT RETWEET!
I've seen requests for retweets on Ronda Rousey's page, and people actually get annoyed when she doesn't do it. I'm going to cut this off at the knees before it even gets started— no RT's for me.
RULE 3: I SHALL NOT REPLY!
Again, people get annoyed if you don't reply. They think you're being rude or disrespectful. They think you're ignoring them. While all these things are quite true, replying to everyone is just impossible. Also, it will EAT UP MY TIME. And I need my time for doing the thing you want me to do. Which would you rather— that I write more books, or reply to your tweets?
No, I can't do both. I can't. Shush. Shuttup. Stop. You're making this worse. Quiet. Shhhhhhhhhh.
And here it is, the final and most important rule of all.
RULE 4: I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO BREAK ANY OF THESE RULES AT THE SLIGHTEST WHIM.
I have spoken.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 4910 Newer› Newest»That seems like a really good idea Lav...
I never thought of it like that... I've just been trying so bad to try and go back to my dream, that I didn't think of it as anything else but a dream...
Okay I'm back. My boyfriend called me. Hello?
Hi Lav, hi Zafira!
Hi again Dylan!
-feels left out-
Oh hi. c: Like my new picture?
Hey Dante, welcome back...
*twiddles thumbs(equivalent to rubbing hands on iPod)*
...
*pops in before school*
Ducks.
That is all.
*poofs*
Emerald what's wrong?
Oh. Really? Think it'll work? Maybe?
Hi Dantè.
I lost my husband Chase at the start of the month...
In real life?
Hi/bye Adra!
Yeah, your pic looks cool, Dantè.
*hugs Emmy* WE''re here!!! If I get home early enough after school, we'll skype alright?
*gives a skulcake to everyone* It has chocolate. It'll make you feel better
Yeah, real life...
He was also a Bloglandian...
Yeah in real life...
*accepts chocolate skulcake*
Thanks, Adra.
*nibbles it*
Em, I'm so sorry. I don't know if apologies affect you or not, but I am sorry. I also dedicate this page to Chase, who will forever be here in Blogland.
Nice addition to the ded, Dylan.
*half smiles*
So Em… think going to the place might help?
It might...
I haven't been back down there since 2004 so it will be surreal to say the least...
*hugs*
I hope you'll find comfort there, Em.
*eyelids are heavy*
I think I'm going to go to bed early... It's only nine thirty, but I've been going to bed a bit late lately... And I'm already in bed...
If I can't sleep, I'll probably be back. But I'm pretty tired, so I'll probably be able to fall asleep easily...
Good night guys.
What's the place?
Glendalough... down in Wicklow
What about it? I'm sorry if I'm appearing insensitive but it's hard to put expression in writing. As in, not books.
Like typing now.
It was where we shared our first ever kiss...
And I had a dream the night before his funeral where he was waiting there saying that if I ever need to talk or just cry that he would be waiting there for me...
But I only thought he meant in my dream but Lav thinks it might be a good idea if I actually go to Glendalough...
You should. I still go to the park that I used to go to with my parents when I was little. I don't remember my mum... She died when I was three, I think you know... Do you?
*slips back into Blogland and sits on a jelly chair* I read your post about your dream, Mem. It was beautiful, it spoke like a poem.
I do believe that he is there... I've always been a strong believe in spirits...
I'm just scared that if I do go there, that he won't be there. That he's already moved on...
He'll follow you there, Em. :)
I'm back!!!
Don't everyone cheer at once.
Emerald, every time I go to the park I went to with my parents, I could hear my giggles, and the image of them holding one hand each, swinging me around. The warm embrace of a parents hug. It feels like home. But it hurts to come back to reality. And Em, promise us you won't do anything like I did.
Hi Randy!
And, I remember last time I went there, reaching my hand out to hold my parents hand. I could almost feel it.
Hello, Eve.
(I'd prefer RC, by the way.)
I haven't been on in AGES. I doubt anyone remembers me.
RC? Like, Remote Control? :P
Is that a British thing?
Never heard anyone call a remote "RC" before.
It's just how people usually abbreviate Random...
I'm not British, but the the remote control car in Toy Story was called RC. xD
*controlled
I meant Remote-Controlled. XD
I knew that.
Both things. Sorta.
*looks at a calendar* it's been WAY too long since I've commented.
Did you have a name before Random Comments?
Not here.
Alright then...
Sorry, I had class.
In real life, obviously I don't go around being called "Random." Most of the time.
I haven't been in since maybe August.
I think we had an argument about what country you came from once...
Anyone there?
IT'S MY BLOGVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
So you all have to do what I say. *nods*
And I say, let's all have innocent conversations about magical ponies (LIKE CLEMYYYYYY!) or whatever, BECAUSE I AM SICK OF SWEARING AND DIRTY JOKES TODAY.
Also - BANNANIBALS!!! *giggles* That was an awesome section of comments to read.
And, I LIKE tuna . . . :/
And, IENI, YOUR SNOWMAN IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We haven't made one, this year. I've kinda grown out of snowmen, but I will NEVER back out of building igloos. :)
Unless I do, of course, but I'm unlikely to. :)
Now, I wbd, because homework. Art homework, incidentally. I love this kind of homework, it's just like being told to go off and do what you like doing in your free time. :O
*BANANIBALS
*facespalm*
Hi Ieni!!! I know that was 20 minutes ago, but, well, I want here 20 minutes ago.
Hi Star, are you ok with how StarTC acted in my chapters? I hate to just throw stuff at you, but I had extra time on my hands. [Points to two new MC chapters]

I do guess. *Looks up*
Ah, it appears to be the ceiling.
barmybex.
I don't know if you've spoken to her. I think she spoke to Chase and then I told her what had happened and I think she's spoken to Fabi and some other people.
Haha, no ;D
Oh, I've spoken to barmybex before!
She isn't a reg, but still. :)
MY SISTER SAYS THAT THE CR IS HER FAVOURITE SP BOOK THAT I HAVE COVER-WISE

HI Mel, Mara! :)
HELLO MEL AND MARA!
wbd. Writing. And Cain will kill me if I don't do this very well... XD
Hello?
HI EDEN!
Hey star.
Howya?
Gtg shower.
Kay, Eden. :)
I get to dress up like a nerd for school on Friday :3 we're having a spelling bee! Whoever wins gets to represent our county :) I won the test runs yesterday and today (not boasting!) so hopefully...!
Just been crying my eyes out at Linger.
Poor Sam. :'( *starts trying to wipe my tears off the pages*
Why can't people just bloody communicate? All the UNDERSTANDING just causes so much PAIN. It's annoying and unfair. D:
Wha?
What county Maralie and also did you ever enter the credit union quiz.
*?
Hi Mara.
Congrats! Hope you get through. :)
Ever heard of books called Shiver and Linger and Forever, about Grace and Sam?
THIS FIC IS SERIOUSLY BUGGING ME D:
Nope, ever heard of Mr Norrell and Jonathan Strange?
About the afore mentioned Norrell and Strange.
Eden - Tiobraid Aránn, Eden. *nods* And no, I have not. I've entered the Credit Union Talent Show though...
Oh because I am the under thirteens national champion.
My team drew with a team with a team that was captained by a kid who was the son of one my dads college friends who was also a vet so it was very awesome.
I never tried the talent show, I could've though even the I couldn't get into my schools talent show because I made the mistake of singing someone like you instead of man who can't be moved.
* takes deep breath*
Mara- whooo! Loch Garman 1996 forever !
Nuh uh! GO ON TIPPERARY! *cheers*
I'd tell you the school, but... Uh, personal stuff and all that...
Yep.
THE PURPLE AND GOLD THE PURPLE AND GOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a wexford hurler and a wexford footballer as teachers in my school, one of them teaches me maths and the other English.
THE PURPLE AND GOLD!!!!!!
Ireland, Eden.
Ooh, and now Grace is thinking about how she's dying and what her funeral'll be like. Yes, this is such a cheerful book.
BLUE AND GOLD!!!!!!!!
PREPARE THE PREMIER HAS WOKEN!
BEWARE THE MIGHTY BLUE AND GOLD,
THE BONFIRES WILL BURN BRIGHT
ROUND SLIEVELEMON TONIGHT
CAUSE LIAM MCCARTHY'S COMIN' HOME!
Well, Brendan Cummins is my cousin... He's the goalie for the Tipperary hurling team. He's awesome. *nods*
What do you mean by Ireland?
Interesting in the book I'm reading a woman is brought back to life and a man enters a doorway to the world of faerie into lost hope house.
My great grandad was one of the greatest goalies wexford ever had.
Star, it's set in the 1800s.
In a book I'm reading, a dude almost got eaten by a shark.
It's quite boring.
And then Isabel walked in and found Cole trying different combinations of drugs and drink and flying about the house shifting between werewolf and human, then she was all like "What's going on?" And he was all like "I'm emprimenting, and will you help me figure out how to permanantly become a werewolf?" And she was like, "Nope" and he was like "You have to or I'll kill myslef, IU'm not kdiing, I am going to stop being human one way or another" And she was like "I'm not helping you do this because my borther was a werewolf and I injected him with bacterial meningitis to try and cure him, only it failed and he died and it's all my fault" and then they were just there going "I'm so depressed and my life is so messed up."
. . . May I repeat my earlier co9mment about how cheerful this book is?
Sorry I poofed for a bit, sister turned the internet off.
Eden and Mara, I don't have a clue what you're on about now, but I'll manage. XD
What's it called?
Shush, Eden.
Welllll... Tommy O' Donnell went to my school. He now plays for Munster and might be going on the Ireland team.
He gave me a teddy bear :3
!!!!!! Derek I need to be in book eight you promised in real life and I bet my friend ten euro, TEN EURO!!!!!!!
I promise I will spend it on one of your books if I get in it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh...
"Apple!" Zacharia exclaims.
"Potatoes!" I reply.
"Potatoes!?"
"Yes, APPLES of the earth!" I grin. "Pomme de terre!"
"Stop it with your French you... You lapin!"
I can't help but giggle at this. "I'm a rabbit?"
"Yes...?" He answers, clearly thinking he said something completely different.
"Your poor French never fails to amuse me," I manage through laughter.
He grumbles. "I'm guessing we've finished with word association, then?"
"Yeah," I nod. "Zoye will probably come and tell us we're to leave soon anyway..." I glance up at the clock and plant a kiss on Zacharia's lips. "I'm going to go for a shower, I'll meet you at the courtyard!"
...opinions? *has written more but effort to type up*
Good
* doesn't need to write more if it was typed then it could be copied and pasted.
*claps* LUCI WELL DONE! Hehe. Zacharia has bad French. :3
I'd like some feedback on a story plot... If I type some random paragraphs that seem to make no sense, that's what it is, but as of now, I cant bother to type it...
Hi Cat! *hugs*
I'm here if you ever want to show anyone! :)
Have we been formally introduced?
*scowls at Eden* I'm on my phone...
Heh, thanks Mara. :)
I thought I'd make use of my talent for languages... Surtout français!
Hey cat, howya?
It seems like I haven't seen ( blog spoken) to you in ages.
No problemo! :)
IS MAITH LIOM GAEILGE. Bhuel... NÃl. Is fua liom Gaeilge. *nods*
Please Don not hug me.
It probably has been a while... have not been on for a few months...
And... yes, we have been introduced formally.
Is féidir liom, chomh maith.
Tá tú right.
NÃl fhios agaim an fhocail ar right.
*lets go of Cat* Aw. Okay.
Alright...
I have been told today that I give warm hugs. Okay. That's... Thanks, Alexis.
XD I barely understood what you two said. I'm Irish, and I hardly know the language. How nice.
Bhuel, tá mé i rang a sé. *shrugs* NÃl a fhois agam Gaeilge crua.
You're talking to a fellow snotter.
Does anyone get the reference.
There's also:
Suit up.
I had a debate in school once about Irish being an optional subject ( I'm on the debate team)
But we didn't get to do it because the teacher was out.
SUIT UP!:D
*decides she ought to buy a suit*
Irish should be an optional subject...
I know.
Stupid government.
*curses the goverment under breath*
Be careful the secret police will come and burn your house down.
Maralie... It's not you... so you know...
I dont like hugs from anyone. Literally.
I don't have a house. I live in a closet.
*shifty eyes*
Well I live in a toilet so haaa!!!
But why not? *pouts* HUGS ARE AWESOMETASTIC. AMAZAYN. EXTRAORDINHARRY. PHENOMENIALL. BRILLIAM. 1DERFUL. FABULOUIS.
Just so you know, I like One Direction.
WELL I OWN A LAMP.
Indubitably.
Im sorry, Maralie....
It's okay Cat. *reaches out to hug* *stops*
Um...
*laughs *
*tacklehugs Mara* CAN YOU THINK OF ANY MALE NAMES FOR A CHARACTER? :3
I could but I wasn't asked.
* stands under the tree of unuse. *
I know it's not a word but its like me not used.
Redundance might be a better word, Eden:P
Hello, cabbages!
That's it.
I was trying to think of it but I couldn't put my finger on it.
And that hurts more because before I just wasn't asked now I'm not asked because I'm redundant meaning I'm no use.
* stays under tree*
Hey Willow.
Eden, Clearly the cabbages and Willow Storm have arrived at the party. The Tree can stand being a paradox for a little longer while you greet the cabbage.
Why is the tree a paradox.
Oh I get it now never mind.
I knew he was thick, but I didn't know he waas that thick.
*giggles*
'like how ur sound nd ur were in da same class'
I mean, ur were?
Ur in d sme clas as me, Makes sense.
And so does were in d sme clas.
But, ur were.
That's just wrong.
I sit on my bed, staring at the leathers that hang in my wardrobe.
"Me too." A young woman says to me. I look up at her, Lynxia Lost stands in the doorway smiling at me.
"It's alright to be scared," she tells me. "We all are..." My eyes follow her as she walks over to my wardrobe and takes out the clothes. "Fear is proof that you're human. Let's just hope that we'll pull this off, yeah?" By now, she's standing before me. "Change into these and be at the courtyard in five minutes! We have another meeting...!"
I groan, "Another meeting!? Ugh..."
"Last one!" She doesn't bother smiling, last meeting means we'll be sent to our death very soon...
I watch shadows gathering at her feet and slowly consuming her. Soon, shadows have taken Lynxia's very being and they vanish, themselves.
"Shadowwalking," I smile. "How I love Necromancy..."
Opinions? (This follows on from that thing earlier!)
Q
Whoooo!
...
Helpful, Eden
Incredibly helpful.
I get the feeling I'm not the most liked person here at the moment.
Love the 'I have spoken bit.' at the end. Makes me laugh.
Hai
Hey Zafira... New pic, Robin Snowscar?
Zaffy got out of play practice early but she's waiting for Mom to get nails done
Hey Zaf.
Old pic but new yeah.

I made an old pic a new pic.
I make it seem new.
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH why can't the wi-fi just be left ON????
