LSODM is over 133,000 words right now and I promised my editor I'd have a reasonably finished first draft to him by the end of the week. That means no Twitter and no blogging, and very little internet presence at all. Even a half hour of writing a blog is a half hour of NOT writing the book, and I can't afford to do that right now. When the book is done, when it's finally done, business as usual will be resumed. Until then, this temporary silence continues.
And here's a fantastic picture for nerds.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 4953 Newer› Newest»Hi, Dragona. ^^
I've actually been here for a while. *points to previous page*
I just couldn't figure out quite what to say. Evidently, I settled on nothing.
kk. ^^ Why the ...s, then? Or was that a symbol of silence? :P
Well I like you Dragona!
I totally get it, Taia... I can't really think of what to say, either...
I just don't want to listen to... but then if I... and what if they don't...
See?
[shrugs]
Time to play cheerful.
Hiiiii!!! [tacklehugs] How are you all?!
I would be here, but I'm hiding behind the sofa. Those who don't know what I mean - don't ask.
Yay thanks Brad! I like you too. ^^
Oh... Okay Star... :-/
[cough]
I mean:
Oh. Okay Star!
I have a question. Luciana said "I don't want to make people feel as bad as you make a lot of us feel"... is it true? Do I make any of you feel bad?
I'm really really really sorry if I do...
Don't worry Dragona! I lie you!
Star I wont ask!
Hi Fabi!
I'd better go...:-/
I mean:
Gtg, ciao!
*pops back* You don't make me feel bad, Dragona. :)
I get why Scáth doesn't like you. But I am pretty objective and unbiased by others, so.
And now I am disappearing to go hide behind the sofa again, because this TV show is murdering me and it's still just the intro. Er, metaphors.
Brad, really? Oh...
guys, I'd really like it if you have anything to say you could say it to me... I'd like to know if I've hurt any of you or what you think about me... I can't improve if you don't tell me things...
WBD...
Yay thanks Star! Why does Luciana dislike me? She hasn't told me and every time I ask her what I've done wrong she doesn't answer...
Sorry.
Internet crashed.
Dragona: I don't know. Silence, possibly.
I struggle to... I don't know. My brain doesn't work properly, sometimes. Don't worry about it. :)
I understand that you don't mean to hurt anybody, but either way, you don't make me feel bad. ^^
Well I'm glad Taia.
On that note, I may suddenly disappear. I do not trust this internet to keep swimming.
And I'll be distant. Drawing - because I need to.
I really don't want to fight with anyone... :/
*pops back*
Well, don't quote me on this, but my assumption (ASSUMPTION) is that, you know last year there was a chat arguement involving you and Flame? Well, I ASSUME, in my ASSUMPTION, her dislike of you generated from that, because she's friends with Flame and such, and she's very loyal to her friends.
I ASSUME, with my ASSUMPTION, that that set her against you and now she's focusing on all your bad points and not stepping back to see any good ones.
Something similar to the above.
*will not be here unless any more questions*
Piny! I have said you are trying to say sorry I hope they take it!
And if they don't well just don't listen!
Everything will be ok!
Hi Star!
*Hugs Star*
*Hugs Piny (Dragona*
Oh, yeah... Flame and myself did have arguments for a time. He came on and annoyed people several times and it all started when he came on and said that he was taking off the facade of liking me. I guess I must have annoyed him but last time he came on he seemed fine with me.
Luciana just seems to shout at me when I didn't do anything she accused me of...
Thanks Brad. Thanks for the help.
I didn't actually think I'd have hurt anyone... meh, guess I was wrong...
Okay, just dropping by to weigh in my side then I will be gone.
It has nothing to do with what went on between Dragona and Flame.
Not at all.
Secondly, this needs to be dropped. This blog is not the place for this sort of thing and thes didn't need to be brought up. Okay. So yeah. I'm going now.
I am not starting fights and I'm not getting involved in any.
I am done with this. So can we just agree to drop this.
Dragona if you feel we need to talk or something I am sure you still have my E-mail.
Yay! Ok where all freinds! *Hugs Everyone*
Hey guys, sorry I poof'd earlier, pokemon distracted me.
Butjudging by the previous comments, I didnt miss much:/
Thanks NJ.
I agree with NJ. The blog should be a place for people to come to without fear of something negative being said to them.
@NJ: Thanks.
Hi, Ruá. Pokémon! :)
Sorry if I'm not really here. I'm feeling a little edgy.
Or about them on twitter, it seems...
Hey Taia!
I downloaded and emulator for my tablet and I've been playing pokemon crystal all day! It reminds me of being a kid again :p
But, I discovered a website of cheats, like catch any pokemon, unlimited master balls & rare candy.. *ahem* not that I'm using them..... *whistles innocently *
Rua, I had one of those master balls on FireRed on my gameboy. I used it to catch a Ditto.
A level 1 Ditto.
It was ANNOYING.
Especially then I had to capture a Moltres and it took 75 ultra-balls to catch it because my Charizard is so strong that if it hit it once it'd die and I didn't want to miss it.
Ohhhh no! Could have been worse then a ditto though, it could have been a magicarp: 0 *thank god for game shark cheat codes*
*laughs*
My Pokémon Blue game for Gameboy Colour no longer has the ability to save the game.
If there's anything I want to do, I have to get there from the beginning without switching off. Or moving the game suddenly - apparently that wipes the memory.
It's sad, but pretty fun, nonetheless. :P
I never cheated on Pokémon! *pride*
I like my Ditto. It's now level 75.
Meow.
Is it possible to cheat on the actual game systems? Lol the only way I can cheat on the emulator is because I can enter the codes with the key pad, while playing the game. Is that possible with a ds?? Lol
There ARE a couple of ways of cheating with the DS, I know.
Like, my brother had a couple of cards of some sorts which could do cheats and such. :)
Hey Maralie. I'm really sorry for hurting/annoying you.
And Rua, I don't know. I think it depends on the game.
Hey Mara!
I suppose their are always ways to cheat if people want to do it bad enough.
Omg. Does anyone know how to sign out on the twitter phone app?0.0
I've gotta go.
*waves, hugs, leaves cookies*
Bye~
(May -or may not- suddenly reappear.)
Oh!
Ruá!
Is there an option like 'switch account' anywhere? I that's how I did it. ^^
I can't figure it out! It's like the people that run twitter want me to stay logged in all the time o.o are they trying to keep watch on me via my phone? SPECULATIONS.
Uh, I mean:
*disappears*
Bye Taia, *hugs*
Bye Taia!
Rua, we haven't talked much, have we? I like your picture. It looks though, no offence, like a remnant. I hope that's the impression you were trying to give otherwise it may be a tad awkward...
Lol probably not, Dragona. I have a terrible habit of being really active then disappearing for days, even weeks xD
Yeah, I studied theatrical/ special fx makeup in college so I wanted to see if I could pull off a remnant look. So yeah, I was going for the remnant look xD
Hello again.
I started doing all my homework because I was bored, then felt pretty sad. :P
Hey Star! Why sad?:0
Yay! I just successfully avoided probably an awkward silence and maybe a telling off but I'm still proud.
Hey again Star! How are you?
Do I make a scary remnant?
*evil, black lipped laugh* lol
Okay, back.
But wbd. Feel ill again - More food I don't really like. :P
@Ruá: Did you manage to sign out of Twitter? :P
OMG
FANGIRL ALERT. I REPEAT, FANGIRL ALERT.
louis tomlinson's hip thrust will be in 3D
in 3D
3D
Hm. Yes. I think you look like a scary remnant. If there ever is a remnant invasion then you'd blend right in. ^^
It's a good job you WERE trying to look like a remnant. It would have been very awkward.
Taia, no!! I've given up tbh. I just wanted to update my profile picture & about me section by it wasn't updating so I wanted to see if logging in and out would help. I give up though :/
I prefer not to have creepy things crawl inside of me
That's true! To avoid being possessed by a remnant you've got to look & act like one! So if theirs another outbreak I'll grab my makeup and slap it on. The only problem with that though is what if the good guys think I'm a bad guy?
Nahh, not really. Awkward doesn't bother me.
No, not sad as in opposite of happy, sad as in a loser. :P
I may have said this before Ruá, but Remnantyfied you is AWESOME. :)
Hi Mara! :)
NO! A person in a 3D movie will, in the movie, look 3D? Really? 3D in a 3D movie? THAT'S UNHEARD OF! *hugs*
Not trying to be mean in any way, just like sarcasm. :)
Hey, I said sarcasm was the lowest form of wit today. I got stared at, so I said I was quoting a book. Then I got challenged to explain what wit was. Because of my terrible explaining skills, it took me a while to succeed. :P
Thank you star xD hey zaf!
i think i might have been at the event that photo was taken at xD
So now they think I don't know what the phrase means. Grr. :)
*laughs*
Sweet, Mara. x3
@Ruá: If you still want to know, I think, assuming it's the same as the iPod Twitter App, on the 'Me' section, there's a little kind of button-y-thing with, like, two heads (I am BAD at describing things :P). If you select that, it comes up with an 'accounts' list. I think hitting 'edit' and then deleting whichever you're signed in with works. I think there's an easier way, but don't remember.
I don't know if that helps, at all.
It may not even be the same, on a phone, but, yeah. I like to try explaining things from time to time. I'm not much good at it, so it's good practice, anyway. :P
Hey, didn't Valkyrie say something like that to China?
Val: They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
China: They've obviously never met me.
Or something along those lines..
Well in any case I'm glad that you were trying to look like a remnant.
I have to go now. Night guys!
Again, I'm sorry for hurting people if I have...
Hola!
Lol I am thinking of what we're doing for Vinette's party...we're making a video of what we would be like in te dimension where Mevolent lives
@Star: I know what you mean. :P
I'll use a word or phrase, and people'll just look at me like 'wth?' and because I'm so bad at explaining things, they'll go ask somebody else, who will then look at me as if to say 'How did you not know that?', and I'll just hang my head in shame.
Bye, Dragona! Sleep well!
I just killed an innocent piece of paper...
Oh, hello.
Night night, Dragona!
Ohhhhhh zaf that would be cool!! I'd wanna be a rebel :p
*nods*
"They obviously haven't met me."
That sounds about right, Ruá. :)
Hi Taia, hi Ruá.
Om nom nom ^^.
Pombear.
Hey Fabi (:
Ohh Mara nom indeed! What flavour?
@Ruá: Yup. I quote that line ALL THE TIME, if only in my head.
My characters determined that smashing instruments was the second-lowest form of wit. *laughs at memories*
Hi Mara. [hugs] How are you doing?
[hugs Ruá]
[hugs Taia]
[scowls at miscellaneous song] You have the wrong lyrics.
Hi Star.
[laughs]
[hugs]
Distant!! EastEnders has my nerves running up the wall!!
Does that even make sense?
*hugs Fabi back* Hiya, :)
Eh I'm basically a traitor
Zaf, whut did you do?
Run dun dunnnnnn *all dramatic like*
Msd, I'm afraid.
That sounds like fun, Zaf.
HI ANYONE, FOURS ANYONE!
Gah. Homework made me distant. D:
HI ANYONE, FOURS ANYONE!
Gah. Homework made me distant. D:
Msd, dinner :3
Cheese and Onion :)
OMGG GUYS!
hi
*giggles*
I don't like onions and most forms of cheese. :P
*laughs*
I like both onions AND cheese.
But not Cheese and Onion crisps. At least, not for the most part.
I'm more of a Ready Salted kind of person. :P
I've got a bit of time to sing... Any song suggestions?
Neither do I, Star XD
Oh my God... the bombings at the marathon... :'(
Ready Salted... Yum! :)
How about Little Mix, Fabi? :)
Who's eating Pom Bears? How can you?
I felt so guilty eating them when I was younger, because of that advert, where they're all happy and shove and then go into a packet and stop moving and are probably claustrophobic and go to get eaten:'(
I'm not sure which LM song, though... I already have an attempt at 'Wings' and I can't do Leigh-Anne's part in Change Your Life for some reason... Hmm....
Yeah... The flags at the post office aren't on half mast anymore... And the people who did it didn't even have a bad point to prove. They were just 142434012410 1404143040 2010332134.
Advert? What advert?
BUT THEY'RE NICE D:
How Ya Doin'? Madhouse? :)
It's disgraceful :/
Oh I basically join Mevolent and when the Resisance gets me it isnt pleasant
Ooh, I might try How Ya Doin'
[plots and sings, distant]
The one with catchy music and they're all happy and there was a Pombear house. It was 6-9 years ago.
Msd/wbd.
Hi Ieni. :-)
*nods*
I remember the advert. :)
They are nice though, Pom Bears. :3
blaaa
hi
~hugs Derek Landy~
We miss you, but, on the other hand, we understand...
And yes, I'm apparently back to being the sappy utterly adoring and understanding fan I was in the beginning... Well, technically, I never stopped being one, but I also grew a backbone. ~grins~
Melness!!!! Has you read messages on Skype?
Very distant.
SKYRIL
SKYRIL
SKYRIL
HI ANYONE, AGAIN!
Pom Bears yum. :)
But I'll usually have just Ready Salted. :)
SKYRIL !!!!!!!!
*screams*
That advert failed its purpose so much. *giggles*
Hi people who arrived. :-)
I do not think I'm cut out to sing How Ya Doin' [laughs]

~also glomps~
Yes, I knooowwww.....
I here and now officially apologize extremely formerly and ~cries and clings to everybody~ informally as well for being in Blogland so very little as of lateee
AND MY BRAIN IS TIRED.
~headdesks~
That's a little better...
I just checked skype there :)
hehe mooses hehe
Hiya, Fabi!
Hiya, Bsoithea!
*grins*
I'm in LSODM! I'm an American Elder ;D
Hiya, Melica!
SSSSSSKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYYRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*glomps*
IT
HAS
BEEN
FOREVER
(minus a little bit).
How are you?
No one forgot me, did he??
I'll need to procure purple lollipops and pecan pie and say "y'all" and complain that no one knows the glory of boiled peanuts [especially with an icee], and annoy you all to death about how awesome ThePianGuys are if someone hassss!
@Zaf
Wait, really?
That's awesome-sauce!
Hello Skyril! :-)
I feel like I've heard this song before... Like, a lot, like in the background somewhere. I just can't place where! O.O
@Taia
I agreeeeee!
~hugs~
And sorry for not being more crazy. My brain is tired, and it only working because there are microscopic squirrels chattering and pressing random buttons in my skull forcing my fingers to move in a surprisingly sensible nouahbdofvubafjobfbujoblfkjbSODB;OBIUB;KIBVGIASBFKB;ibsigvbalkdbfbalkshdbvliBASIBLKSABFGVBs.
Omg yes! OTOA worked and I'm so happy!!!
Also, I'm pretty good xD.
Want a brownie with crunched up oreos in it and a mixture of an egg, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla on top?
I made them two days ago.
@Fabi
What song?
Ok, folks, be prepared for somewhat random I-hope-not-but-possibley-prolonged disappearances as I check my emails and goodreads and the chat and etsy and riptapparel and go to youtube to listen to the Steam Powered Giraffe and read new updates on blogs, including the ones I haven't gotten around to, among other things.
Intro by the xx.
It's instrumental and special-effects-ish... And I heard it someplace before...
Also I think I have to go now... Back either immediately or not for a while.
Wow, proverbially knocking my brother over the head and demanding he reply mo' bette' seems actually to have worked. ~fistpumps~
*laughs*
It's great to see you!
*nods a thank-you to the microscopic squirrels*
And, sounds great. :3
My experience with Oreos is too small. I've had them maybe twice before.
WBD/MSD.:/
... Maybe...
Whut?? WHAT?
~splutters~
TWICE?!?
How do you survive in this world without knowing the epica-ness of Oreos? O_o
Hiya, Jubi!
Apologies. I'm everywhere at the moment, which makes being here somewhat tricky.
HEEE guuuys! Puts town ghetto blaster and it plays Hallelujah (the one with the high pitched choir. I think it's from 'the messiah')
*May be digitally drunk on blogland 2023 wine.*
I never got to devote my page, I think I will store it in a bank while it gathers value, then trade it for something...
I gotta go now guys so bye!
Hello fellow Golden God addicts.
HI!
Bye!
Greetings Edward. Pleasure to make your acquaintance. ~shakes hand~
~gives purple lollipop~
Microscopic squirrels are running my brain right now, and they're mostly leading me to websites consisting largely of pictures of acorns...
Farewell, Mel!
Hiya, Jubi! :3
@Skyril: If it's any consolation, it's not something I'm proud of. :P
Awh, Bye Mel!
Hi Edward!
Hi Em!
Sorry for my own distance.
I'm writing (or trying to).
If all goes well, my blog of words will house more words. Which is good for me, if nobody else. :P
*is not very here and msd D:*
It is indeed good to make your acquaintance Skyril, *hands a fifty story building* My brain however is quite functional, but it has been running on emergancy furnace power for three days.
Have you tried this blogland 2023? Best crop of the century I'd say. There's some somewhere in your building if you look for it.
It tastes very winey.
@Taia
Well... it consoles just a tad...
~gives her a package of Oreos~
That's good that you're riting. Writing is good. :3
@Ed [do yo mind if I call you Ed?]
Oo, nice...
~runs up and down the hallways of my fifty story building wearing socks and sliding~
And no, I have not, but I don't drink, so... Thanks anyway. :P
@Edward: Doesn't it taste of lake? :P
Neither do I, I wont say why, no onne on blogland knows my age. My google+ account lies! Also I'd prefer if you called me Woody, that's my name but gmail didn't believe me. As I said it lies!
No, that's the bottled water I sell that's taken from the lakes of tears my soul cried when Maralie got depressed and had no self confidence.
Oh, really? Why's that?
I'm 17, and I've been following Derek Landy's blog since the beginning, which was... about 3.5 years ago... So I was 14, I suppose... It seems as if I was younger, but I guess not. xD
And Woody it is!
Do you like Steampunk?
Why's what?
I LOVE STEAMPUNK!!!
I'm 23, Woody.
Been following Derek since Skulduggery first came out in 2007. No shame in it at all!
lol, oh, really? [needs to find something besides "oh really" to say].
Well, then, I would, but I'm afraid it would be somewhat salty. :P
Ahem.
And I hate block caps. They scare me.
I filter it.
Hiya, Em!
And it was 2009...
How're you doing?
I've been reading for a few years, I only started typing recently though.
Hello? I am back from doom (i.e. history fair project) for now.
Wait a sec, are you not telling your age because you're older than most people???
Well, one of my good friends from Dereksville Blogland was 40-something. Her name was Ann Marie, and she was downright awesome. Unfortunately, I haven't seen her for very long time :/
Have you read Mortal Engines?
Yeah good Skyril, thanks. How are you doing??
I'm just trying to get my confuddled head prioritized as regards my books (the ones I'm writing, not reading)
I will specify that is NOT why, because I find that idea odd, It's just fun, no one knowing my age.
Why's what? Why does it seem longer??
Oh, I don't know... I suppose because it seems I've known Joe and Kallista all my life, and I did nothing before Blogland. xD
AND SO DO I!
In that case, go watch this video. I've recently become relatively obsessed with these guys [although their other songs aren't quite as steampunk-y, and plus, my favorite band ever still remains to be toppled (ThePianoGuys), but this one is crawling to second place].
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=dDRHx4cPgbE&NR=1
Sorry, I've been being rather rude. Hello everyone who has joined and I haven't said hello!
*wonders if hugging would be awkward*
Hi Skyril, Woody and Em.
Hiya, Fabi. :3
*nods*
Ann Marie was (is) wonderful. I'd love to see her again. ^^
(distant)
I will watch it now! Will be gone for a short while...
"Colonel Walter was shocked
When he learned from the Nile
Copper African elephants turning hostile.
SO he built these wonderful automaton bloaks
And a very big steam powered giraffe what smokes!"
YAY!! PEOPLE ARE HERE!!
Hi Taia. :-)
Welcome back, Fabi!
Hello Jubi!
Yes, a lot of people seem to be here.
@Woody
No, I haven't read Mortal Engines, but it sounds interesting.
Do you have a goodreads account?
You should get one if you don't. I really appreciate goodreads, and I've won four free books this year. :P
And okie dokie on your brb.
I have... 25 minutes before I have to go.
@Skyril- I can't listen now, but I absolutely will later. :3
Hiya, Jubi! :)
(Writing!)
@Taia
So would I :]
Bloody hell
@Taia
Okie dokie!
It's a cool steampunk song I especially like :D
Welcome back, Zaf!
And what're you swearing about? O_o
... Ok, ok, I'm not going to pretend I don't see that we're almost to 400.
The Piano Guys are amazing!
SKYRIL!!!!! FABI!!!!! TAIA!!!!! ZAF!!!!! *Supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
hi.
Steven Sharp Nelson for the win!
LOL, ~high-fivbes Jubi~
Hi Zaf.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! And Jon Schmidt [along with the other PianoGuys] are brilliant too!
Ok. Alright. Let's see. Airtight [I always try to say that instead of alright...].
Deds.
[is supertacklehuggedofdoom]
Aw, it doesn't autocorrect to all capitals any more! [pouts]
Aww darn :(
EVIL AUTOCORRECT
*is supermegatacklehugofdoom-ed*
@Skyril: Twenty-five minutes?
Hopefully, I'll be able to hang around, too.
(That is speaking entirely metaphorically, and in no way implies that I will be doing any hanging, of any form. :P)
