Right then, I have here the details of the Ireland/UK tour. My publishers do like to keep me busy, the little scamps, but this tour isn't quite so arduous as they've been in the past- probably because they know I'll have just come back from the ANZ tour, and will be feeling pretty sorry for myself...

I think I'm going to change my blog name and photo
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrk!
~hugs~
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!
~hugs~
Hello! How are you guys?
Becky! Pleasure to make your acquaintance! ~shakes hand~
~gives purple lollipop~
How are you?
Exactly, Becky, I don't think we've met before!!! If my name is too long, you can shorten it to Adra or Dark or whatever...
Most do.
*hugs* heyyyyy Skyril!!!
I'm in a giggly mood, Becky.
Also.
Your comments.
*rolls on floor laughing*
on my god you gave me a lollipop i love you. Nice to meet you, too~ *sucks on dat lollipop*
and jordan, ehehehehehehehe
ALSO
did you typo?
then delete it?
it said you said i ear
not i eat
when i walk in the fandom, this is what i see, becky a is eating bits of me. I try to shriek and run, but she grabs me and i slow up. She irrepressible and we know it
How are you guys?
@Luce
Thanks :D
I'm such a grammar nerd sometimes... Although I DID put in a contraction, and that shouldn't be there...
Plus the spacing at the beginning of each paragraph is missing...
~shrugs~
Nobody's perfect, right? ;P
I've always loved talking like that, but I tend to have to think about it before I can actually do it. So it's generally not spur of the moment :P
yes i did typo shhh
*opens portal* anyone fancy traveling to the year 5000000?
@Becky
... Glad you like it.
Lollipops tend to be enjoyable, in my opinion :3
Hai
5,000,000?
Let's see what it looks like 8]
Hiya, Andrew!
Pleasure to make your acquaintance!
Have a purple lollipop :]
~gives~
Hello andrew
I'd like to go to the year 3000 better
I hear that not much has changed
but they live under water
(YEAH I JUST WENT THERE)
Hai, babe, haiii.
Also, *is shhh*
Interesting...
Living under water would be odd, though, I have to admit.
By the way, Becky, I like your icon :D
Hello Andrew!!!
Uh, no. I hate Jonas Brothers... (no offense, if you do :D)
So. I'm going into the portal *walks through*
*flying cars. Time machines and other stuff*
Yusssss
I've had this icon for so long, I wouldn't feel right without it :P
I likes it...
Plus it looks like my OC so that's happy.
YOU DIDN'T GET IT /sobs
Thank you C: I drew it, actually.
In real life, I don't think time machines will ever be created. It would make too many things... change. I mean, there would be no certain past or the past would keep changing, and probably nobody would remember it.
Plus, just think about it if you went back and saw yourself in the past, and you told yourself something to do. That would therefore make your past self have to go through time and then tell THAT past self's past self what to do, which would create an endless paradox.
No, time travel's too complicated, to impossible, to planet rupturing to ever be created.
It's actually already possible to travel in time- they just can't because of morals and such.
It's the same with cloning humans.
Well that's fantastic, because if memory serves me right... I tend to do the impossible :D
That, of course, it just my opinion, however, and I could, indeed, be entirely wrong... But what are the chances of that happening...?
~Laughs~
Ok. Ignore that last line :P
Really, Becky? That's awesome! Do you have a deviantart?
And ever heard of the twin paradox???
Oh, and I have a picture of Skulduggery Pleasant on my Follow the Pen blog.
Sky, Derek already commented on the page before this wishing Hell a happy birthday xD
Really, Luce?
Well, I believe the human cloning bit, but time travel? That seems so... impossible...
dissapearing again, im afraid... dont know when ill be back again, iif ill be back again, if ill be anywhere again
what is this impossible? it means nothing to me. impossible is a point of veiw i can't see. maybe its a figment of your imagination.
You may say it's impossible, but the impossibilities in life are actually possible.
They have the scientific knowledge for it, but it could cause a lot of hell and so haven't done it.
Gepaaaaaaaaaaaaard
~glomps~
Hey, can I ask you a question? What happened yesterday? Why did you disappear?
Hey Gep! We briefly talked on Nix's blog. Officially, however... *hands a Skul-cake*
I do indeed have a dA c:
Bad photo but this is the full drawing.
@Cat- I'm a figment of my own imagination
@Cat
Hello! Pleasure to meet you!
And farewell!
But have a purple lollipop on the way out!
~gives~!
dA?
Deviant Art
Sky: Had to eat and the internet was turned off by Dad.
Becky.
You're great, great, great grandaughter is looking fine ;)
@Gep
Oh, did he? Well, it wouldn't hurt Dear Derek Landy to put "Happy Birthday Hellboy!
[This is thanks to your awesome friends]"
Into a blog post, now would it??
~eyes sparkle as they stare at Derek Landy hopefully~
http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/139/f/5/skulduggery_pleasant_by_tanithlowisme-d50by0b.jpg
probably help if i added the link
yes andrew good
i was pleased to meet you when i met you.
*looks curiously at purple lollipop* *hits self on the head with it*
that didnt work very well.
Thank you anyway. will treasure it.
As if....
@Becky
Awesome! Can I have the link? I also have a deviantart, and I like to Watch fellow Bloglanders :3
The Aussie eBay says 'G'day' That. Just. Made. My. Day.
@Gep
Oh, alright. I got kinda annoyed temporarily when you and Phoenix left so suddenly.
Not sure if you saw it anyway, but sorry about that even so
I saw.
Woow, Becky!
That's awesome!
Can I get your dA page link?
Ten mins and i'll link you, I just gotta brb c:
BECKY. EVERYONE IS BOWING DOWN TO YOU AND ACT LIKE THEY'RE MEETING A FAMOUS PERSON AND I'M JUST CHILLIN' LIKE 'Yup. Becky Allaker's my friend. She called me hot once too. Yup.'
That is amazing!!!
@Gepard
Okay. I'm sorry. I felt bad after I had calmed down.
I realized you probably would have a reason and probably wouldn't have left like you did otherwise.
Me ish tired.
???? Okay... wbd, I have to write my Competition entry
Becky mentioned me in a video, the other day.
I cried.
Actually cried.
@Becky
Okie dokie
Hellooooooooooo
@Dark
So what does Wbd mean?
I keep seeing it and wondering but not asking because I figure I'll figure it out but don't xP
Hiya, Valkyrie V.!
~hugs~
brb
Hey Vallllll!!!
Will be distant, Skyril :D
Will be distant, Skyril.
Remind me to use eBay.com and eBay.com.au more often. They're so much cheaper and better for the books I am lacking. x3
I'm tempted to order KOTW on ebay instead of waiting like, 30 more days
I am going to go buy it from WHSmiths on the day.
So I can get the collectors edition, oneeeeee. x3
Heya guys.
I think I have some bad news. I've found myself sitting on the sidelines these past few posts and that.
I've watched you all have wonderful conversations and I have tried to get involved but I just end up sitting back and watching.
So given that, I think my time on the blog has come to a grinding halt.
Don't worry I will still be updating my blog cause for whatever insane reason some of you are fans of my story.
But I'm sorry to say that I just can't bring myself to participate in the blog any more.
And believe me, it's no fault of anyone. It's just me. I haven't been myself for the last few weeks and I don't want to be a burden on anyone or just sit awkwardly somewhere, wishing I could get involved.
Thanks for some great laughs guys. I really owe you all a lot.
Oh, I should order it on eBay before I get a good copy...
DON'T LEAVE EM!
no one bows to me i'm not special ;-;
You guys are all amazing c:
ahem, my dA which utterly sucks: http://tanithlowisme.deviantart.com/
Em.... *is tearing up irl* no you can't!!!!
You're incredible!
You have no idea! You are becoming one of my good friends on this blog!!! I look up to you. Really, you're a joy to be around, and we had so much fun talking!!!
You... You can't!

*shackles herself to Em*
You're not leaving. You can't, now. *hides key*
Now you must stay.
But LOOOOL ANDREW.

EMERALD!
Don't leave!
Honestly, you won't burden us with anything!
If you ever have something to talk about or just need a friend to chat with you can always come here!
You don't have to feel left out or anything!
~Hugs tight~
Please don't go! You can ALWAYS join in! Even if you talk about something completely unrelated, ok?
Bye, Luce!
~hugs~ See you later!

Skyril, Derek SAID happy birthday to Hellboy. I believe it was on the previous page.
Em - NOOOOO!!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T LEAVE!!!!

Gah, I have to go too!
~Hugs all~
Bye guys!
@Em
Look, please don't go. We want you to stay :]
@Dear Derek Landy
Yes, I know you already wished him a happy birthday on the blog, but it wouldn't hurt to put something like, you know,
"Happy birthday, Hellboy!
[This is thanks to your awesome friends... Especially Skyril]"
In a blog post, now would it?
Yeah, yeah, I know you have places to go, things to do, but HELLBOY'S AWESOME! And plus he's been here since the beginning :D
Note worth, don't ya think?
Have a hug!
~hugs~
Bye now!
Em's email - michellebrennan21@gmail.com
EMERALD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay, that's it. I'm going to email her.
@ Skyril byeeee! *huggles
Emrald. i swear to god. if you leave, i will leave. if i leave. i will go. more crazy. more depressed. than ever. i go. to this blog. when i need. to talk. or i will. want to hurt. myself. because no one. hears me. i need you. to hear. me.
Skyril, I don't BELIEVE you. Derek took notice of you and said happy birthday to Hellboy. Do you know how rare that is? You should be over the moon! Derek did what you wanted, now stop having a go at him.
Sorry, Skyrilllllll . . .
What? I didn't see...
Emrald, if you really want to leave, go. but dont do it because you think anyone wants you to.
Em, even if you have nothing to contribute, we'd rather you were here. Lpsing a minion is always so saaaad.
*painstakingly pastes Derek's comment*:
Hi BloodButterflies! Hi Kallista, and of course I'll wish Hellboy a happy birthday for tomorrow.. Hellboy? Happy birthday!! Taia- so the weirdest thing brought to a signing that is NOT a unicorn? Hmmm... There have been loads of drawings, a few Lego Skulduggerys, a few models, a LOT of cupcakes and cakes... Ooooh but you know what one of my favourites was? These girls had gone off and bought a Barbie-like doll, opened it up and started drawing tattoos all over it. Then they put t back in the box and presented it to me as"Melancholia". I thought that was just BRILLIANT And now I must depart. I'm heading out this evening, and I'm NOT in a good mood cuz Chae Sonnen lost his fight... bah...
Argh, the spaces didn't pastes with it . . .
I missed him... Damn.
okay. DEREK LANDY!!! PLEASE HELP. We have a minion that wants to leave... Please, if you could post something, maybe she won't.
PLEASE DEREK
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You don't come anywhere near me, and even the London one is so far from the center of London you might as well be on the moon! How am I going to come and see you again??? It's just not fair.
I'm going to cry now, cry and sit in a corner, rocking back and forth wondering what I did to deserve this. Have I not been a loyal minion?
I am so sad now!
I have all my SP books signed, I can't have an odd one out. :(
mqybe Emrald's right... Obviously not about her leaving, but... i bring nothing to the table but depression. Maybe I should leave.
barmybex- not to be rude, but we're having an emotional crisis.
And number two. Most of us have no books signed. So please. SHHHH
DEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, I would like to ask you if you could give me an address to send a letter to your publishers.
So... Could you give me an address to send a letter to your publishers? Please? Or will the one in the copyright page work? You know, the UK one? Because I am very prepared to write them an angry letter for not sending you here. In fact, I could call your American publishers tomorrow, and see if they can find some way for me to communicate with them... Very possibly an email...
I WILL START A RIOT TO GET YOU HERE!!!
Oh, one more thing. Lookie at my profile picture! It's YOU, as a lizard. You know, from when you were a lizard in your past. Yeah. Also, if I were to make a lizard to give to you, would you like it to be indigo, black, dark blue, or dark purple? YOU MUST LET ME KNOW, MASTER DEREK, YOU MUST.
No, Cat. Don't you dare.
Think yourself lucky you've seen Derek at all, Bex. I know plenty of minions who haven't, and some never will.
And Derek, TELL EMERALD MELODY TO COME BACK.
you know, legally a riot only needs three people. i have no uses.
So please, Bex. HUSH>
Cat. Do not leave. You're awesome. I've known you for all of about 30 minutes. Em left. We can't change that. BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE YOU TOO!!
Why does Em want to leave...?
*realises* Wow, I am intolerant today . . .
WHO KNOWS???? GOD I'M IN A RAGE.
DEREK LANDY, PLEASE HELP US AND FIX THIS!!! HELP US. PLEASE.
WOW, NICE DRAWING, BECKS.
It is good :D
DEREK LANDY GET DOWN HERE!
Minions get depressed and leave all the time, Dark. They nearly always come back.
...
Sorry. When someone says they're leaving, based on my experience they don't come back.
Ever.
I don't know if I know Emerald or not, but...
Sometimes, if you're having trouble, on the internet or at home, or with friends, or even with yourself, a time out helps bundles. I was having serious issues a few months back and i took a break for about 5 days, and it helped so much. And i came back and everything seemed brighter. So if that's what she wants to do then that's fair enough.
But if she wants to leave for good I don't know why. There's always something to say and you're always wanted, as proved by the guys begging you to stay.
So Em, give us some reasons and maybe we can help, okay? <3
My profile pic...? Thank you. It's one of my faves :3
oh my god.
it shouldnt be a surprise. it shouldnt be a surprise. good. bye.
Cat???
Msd.
Once Mist said he was gonna leave for a year or so. He came back in less than three days:)
You've witnessed the Recent Returns of Mist and Sparky.
Lavender Hope left, then returned.
Lynxia has left in the past, because she got sick of bloglandians being depressed. She came backkkkk.
All these leaving were emotional leavings.
Every bloglandian I've known that has left has come back.
Exceot for this one person that I don't count as a proper bloglandian.
So I am fairly certain that Em will return:) I'm superstitious like that.
Then lets just hope that she comes back.
I think she will.
She better.....
Hello...?
Hey babe!
Hey hun :D wazapppp

Hi L!

Anyone read my Chasing the Sun story?
Because...
I'll save that for later..
This place is too confusing/complicated for me.
Hi Ivy!
Wow, that's a really good name-picking idea, Dark . . .
New post, yay!
Oh my God, I think I'm hallucinating right now.
Andrew... You're L's Andrew, aren't you?

AHEM, AND MY ANDREW, THANK YOU. *hugs precious baby andrew*
Star, I've been here for a while now.
Val, you're always hallucinating.
We're all figments of you large random brain.
My mum is a god with crafts so she can help me design it.
Uh, how did Andrew become my Andrew...?
*frowns*
I am now, Flame.
Is it in any way connected to the sun? *begins humming Chasing the Sun*
Our andrew.
WE SHARE OK
I am going to meet derek landy on the 2nd of september exciting stuff!

Oh god, I'm so nervous mine's gonna suck.
Your Andrew from your group of fb friends, L.

Or am I the only car fangirl?
Hi Crystal; long time no blog-see
*moves* I am moving. And i am still a figment of your imagination.
HEY Crys. *huge hugs*
Um, Star? That's how i got the idea, chasing the sun from the song.
Um, Andrew, Becky, L... Okay... :p
Oh, Le Gang? Yeah...It's that Andrew..
Hmm... I'm hiding in my umbrella fort. I think it may be interfering with my WiFi.
@dark, i've an idea..
*smacks head into wall* I feel so angry right now but I don't know why...
Oh good... Hahahaha. When Nix said animals... Can they be oversized animals??? O.o
Becky, you're not the only car fangirl, no.
I generally adore cars...bikes always win, though...
You dont know why? dont make me laugh at my life, please.

Bye, guys...
I hope Em returns soon. I'll see you soon, I guess...
I would talk to you but I've gotta go. Bye x
*growls*
Am I invisible or something? Maybe I should curse at you guys in french. Would that get your attention?
Becky! ded.
I said hi >:c
*tackles Phoenix* HELLO TO YOU!
THANK YOU BECKY FOR NOTICING THE INVISIBLE CHILD!!!
Bye Becky!!! Bye Luce!!! *hugs*
wasnt ignoring you pheonix. i ignore myself.
Phoenix, no one was ignoring you...
Hi Val! I don't feel invisible anymore... Thanks guys!
Becky needs to dedicate.
I commented, like, three times and nobody bothered to say hi! *sniffles*
hi.
see, nobody said hi again
BECKY! DEDICATE, OR I WILL CURSE AT YOU IN FRENCH, SPANISH, AND GAELIC!!!
*pulls out can of invisible paint and sprays Phoenix* *nothing happens*
What the hell...? I used good money that I stole from Flame for this paint!
*thinks* Oh... Wait... The paint is invisible...
*scowls* Dammit.
I think she's gone...
Haha, Val.
Ah yes, and Becky left.
