Fan Art Tuesday

Posted on by scott

Okay, so it’s been an unusually long time since I posted. This is because I’ve been working very hard on both Leviathan and Mind-Rain, an anthology of essays by YA writers about the Uglies series. (More about this soon. It’s going to be very cool.)

But that hasn’t left me much time to blog. I’ve only blogged, like, twice this year! (So much for that resolution.)

So in consolation, I offer you some very cool fan/fine art from Yuriy Shikhanovich:

Copyright Yuriy Shikhanovich (but cropped by me a little to fit). See the original here.

The match is so close that this photo has a great uncanny valley feel to it. Like your brain almost wants to believe the illusion, but then rejects it. (And it gives new meaning to the word “facebook.”)

And here are some awesome home-brewed Wearable Extras from Becki S.:

Love that hoodie.

Actually, working on Mind-Rain has reminded me of all the cool contributions you guys have made to the series. Both in feedback and suggestions, various threats and rants, and in fan art and discussion. So thanks to everyone who’s pinged me over the years!

Now back to the word mines.

  6. I love the hoodie, and that picture is almost perfect if she just moved the book a little bit farther up on her face!

  12. OMG mind-rain!!!!! can’t wait and leviathan! i’ve been in a reading rut! and those are exactly what i need NOW! i love that hoodie too! i want one. i already have a ton of wearable extras haha ๐Ÿ™‚

  14. That was a cool picture of the ‘facebook’, i laughed out loud at that one. It was one of those cheesy yet funny jokes. Ha. Facebook.

    I have not many things to say. Except, yip-e-yi-yo. I dont know why.

  16. Mind-Rain? That. Sounds cool.

    And yeah. Facebook. Totally not cheesy at all. ๐Ÿ˜› (But I admit, I thought it was funny.)

  21. those are awesome!! i really like that book one…
    can’t wait for leviathan…but i don’t remember mind-rain…what is mind rain?? i must know!!

  22. that’s a pretty sweet shirt.
    and thanks, scott, for blogging those pics. so glad i sent them to you. :]
    i’m glad people like my shirts. i’ve considered selling them, but i don’t have enough access to the printing equipment. plus, i no longer have the design for the hoodie.

  23. hey this is my first time commenting! i just finished the series and i thought they were super awesome. i definitely want-no need a special circumstances hoodie its super icy! ๐Ÿ™‚

  25. LOVE IT!
    how do make something like that”?
    i made a team switz shirt for the twi primere and its looks ok…
    but not great

  26. Lexie-wa:WELCOME!

    the camera she useed to take a pic of the facebook(HA!) was really nice;D
    MIND-RAIN!AGK!
    YAY!
    so we have
    Uglies
    Pretties
    Speacials
    Extras
    Bougus to Bubbly
    and Mind-Rain!
    super awesome!

  27. ok, so in my earlier comment i said “that’s a pretty sweet shirt. except i meant “that’s a pretty sweet picture”. because the shirts are mine, so ooobviously i think they’re sweet. haha. oops. :]

  28. Eva-la, i took a printing class in high school and still have access to the equipment. so i screen printed them myself.

  31. Beckie-la: Those shirts are insanely amazing (as you know..duh) and it’s cool that you have access to screen-printing stuff…
    That’s an awesome idea with the ‘facebook’ and the pun was uh-mazing

    Scott-la: It’s okay that you haven’t been posting, as long as you’re working hard on those books!
    (I’m so excited. Gah.)

    On a more random note, there’s this kid from the Ukraine who is foreign exchanging to our school! I’m meeting him tomorrow at lunch! (I don’t know why people would want to exchange to michigan, but my friend says they don’t get to pick..)

    Everyone have a good evening/day!

  32. jay-wa, thanks. :]
    yeah, i’m from michigan too. i never understood why people would want to do a foreign exchange here. especially this time of year. so cold!

  34. I hates the cold…some one else is also from Michigan (I don’t know if they’d be okay with me saying something..so I won’t)
    There are so many cool people in Michigan! Check that out!

    Good Night everyone!

  36. Becki-la: You should start something through cafepress.com. I would definitely buy shirts from you, and I’m sure lots of other people here would too.

    An extra for now. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  38. random shirt idea…
    “Team zombie because im on team Zane”
    or
    “Tean unicorn because im on team David” (i love how mean it is)
    and even more people wont get it yay!

  41. Becki-la: if you want to sell shirts online you should check out Etsy. It’s so cool. I want to start an Etsy shop, but I have no idea what I would make. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Click my name. ๐Ÿ˜€

  43. Jay-wa….How cold is it in Michigan????Cuz here in Washington It was 22 degrees when I woke up!! Thats pretttttyyyyyyy cold for Washington!!!!!!

    Tally&Zane-TEAM DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  44. Becki-la: Those are really cool hoodies, could you like print some and sell it? I would definitely want one.

    Yay! More of Scott-la’s books!!

    Oh yeah, a facebook is also what happens when you slam your face on a book. Like ‘facepalm’ or ‘headdesk’

  45. Emi-la, we’ve had highs in the twenties lately here in michigan. which means it’s [at the warmest] in the teens at night. suuuper cold.

  46. trish-la, i’ve considered it. there’s a couple of problems with that tho: one, i don’t have the design for the hoodie anymore. and two, i don’t have access to the equipment very often.
    but i’m working on getting a shop open on cafepress.com [i believe it’ll be called becki’s extras, but i’m not sure yet] as audrey-sensei suggested. there’s a good chance i’ll post here when i have it up and running to let people know about it.

  47. Wow, I just realized I haven’t posted in a long time!
    That was freaky how similar the girl’s hair was to the cover.

    Becki-wa: Awesome hoodie.

    Should I add a suffix to my name and drop the dame (only on Westerblog)?

    Click my name. ๐Ÿ™‚

  51. icy hoodie!

    I still can’t wait until Halloween even though it is so far away…

    I am going to go all out as a Special!!!

  52. YAY! that 1st picture looks super bubbly and I’m going as a special and I really want 1 of those sweatshirts

  55. I love the hoodie, and the “I don’t want to hurt you, but I will if I have to.”. It’s so cool. ๐Ÿ˜€
    Oh and, I love the haircut…
    It’s the 1st time I post here.
    Nothing else. x)

  56. i knew i should oh checked here while i was at school, i just knew it … grr

    and Scott guess what? my school libarey has Uglies when i saw it i had to do a doubble take becuase they usraly don’t have the good books, now I can get people to read it ๐Ÿ™‚

    oh and… idk

  57. Mind-Rain? Butttt…you have to name it Cake!

    Anyways, as long as SMeyer doesn’t have a essay in it, I’m fine.

    Good work on Leviathan!~

    Ping-la

  58. Hahahahaha. Facebook. Hahahahaha.
    I think we all miss you Scott-la but even more I want to get my hands on Levithan, so keep up the good work. Mind Rain sounds sweet, can’t wait.

  62. Hahaha. “Facebook!” Scott made a funny! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Yay! This post cheered me up after working on AP English homework! There is only so much homework you can take!!!

    ๐Ÿ˜€ MindRain….sounds interesting!!! ๐Ÿ˜€

  63. Becki-la: suh-weet! I loves it when people listen to my ideas. Just make sure you let us all know when the store goes up so that we can buy stuff!

    An extra for now. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  64. Ping-la=What wrong with Stephenie Meyers???I Personally LOVE Twilight and don’t get why ya’ll have such a problem with it!!!!!It’s like itsnotl iek she is a fraud or something! she earned her way into the business just like Scoot-sensei!!!

  65. ohh, i love the Specials hoodie…i really want a Team Zane shirt, but no offense the ones on his website are kinda ugly :[

  66. audrey-wa, i will definitely let everyone know when i get it up.

    carly-wa, maybe i’ll come up with some team zane/team david ideas.

  70. Ugghhhh. My goal in life is to be first. 70th is… not even close. I think I was 7th once.

    whatever. That picture is really awesome!

    Also I”m excited about “mind rain”!

  72. I need some of those shirts and hoodies. You know, I should design fan merchendise for all of my fav book series! That includes The Vampire Diaries, House of Night series, Warriors… I bet I would make alot of $ selling that stuff…

  73. hi
    i havent posted in like forever
    the speciels jacket was so bubbly
    i want one
    omg my friend just gave me an icy twilight tee
    team edward all the way !!!!
    by
    ๐Ÿ˜‰
    i am evil ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

  74. ok, for everyone who’s looking forward to my store, i’m in the process of getting more designs together.
    sadly, i won’t be able to get that hoodie design to work because cafepress won’t print across the zipper. but i will have a specials hoodie!
    i’ll also have the ‘the smoke lives’ tshirt, ‘team zane’ and ‘team david’ tshirts, and [for fans whose eggo is preggo — haha, love juno] a ‘littlie on board’ maternity tee.

  76. Okay guys. I’m sorry I like, disappeared. I keep going on and off of here….
    Anywho, check out the website that is linked to my name. It’s an Uglies trailer someone made. I think it’s awesome, and I don’t even like the idea of the movie…!
    So, how are you guys? Also, yay on the cool title for the Author Discussion book. Although I still think it should’ve been named “Cake.” Because cke is just that awesome and such and inside thing…

    Anywho, I’ll try to get on tomorrow. I’ve got some time off of school, a two-hour delay, although I probably won’t get on since I still have to go to school at 10 AM… Nighty night.

  77. ok, click my name to access my store.
    There isn’t too much in it yet. and I only have a basic store, so I can only have so many items in my store, but I can open more than one. so i may open another one to add more merch to.
    enjoy!

    [btw, scott, if you have any objection to this, please let me know and i can take the store down.]

  80. Ha! If Scott-sama entitled the book ‘Cake’, it would probably be a lie <– Portal reference.

    Alex-wa: I’ve read HoN too! And now I’m chasing the series in a train wreck kind of way…

    Becki-la: Awww… I can’t get it here. D= But yes, Juno was an awesome movie.

    I’m posting this from school btw, instead of getting started on an essay. Hooray procrastination!

  81. haha. love protal.
    never actually played it, but watched my boyfriend play it. it was hilarious. and awesome. and i think i should probably play it.

  84. Becki-la: Just as a suggestion, You should make a Team Zavid shirt, because I love them both very much. I’d buy some.
    Also my friend, in a very creepy way, asked where at in Michigan do you live.

    I wish I had a snow day…until like June…

    Peace.

  85. This is totally random, but I saw this on Ananka’s Diary (http://kikistrikeny.blogspot.com) and had to mention it here: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
    “‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’ features the original text of Jane Austen’s beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone crunching zombie action.” That’s how it’s described on Amazon.com. ๐Ÿ™‚

    And speaking of zombies, my zombie story is almost finished. Click my name to read part four (I swear, part five will be the finale. It was only going to be four posts, but the last one would have been really long so I split it in half). ๐Ÿ˜€

  86. ahhh!!!! this is soooo cool!!! Becki-la lives in michigan, i live in michigan, and Jay-wa lives in michigan!!! is there anybody else? =D

  87. Oh gosh. I haven’t been on here in FOREVER! Anyways, I need an answer to a question. Can you think of something that is for sure true, but not logical? Opinionated/religious answers don’t count. ummmmm….that’s it. Please, somebody come up with an answer!

  89. Andrea-la, that people have minds. You can’t see it, or feel it, or hear it, even if you open up your head and look around with a microscope or something, but we know it’s there.

  90. good one, Tally&Zane!
    Andrea-la, I love your thought-provoking questions. I never hear any of those anywhere else.

  91. Mmmm my brain is non-working right now too so nope srry i got nothin.

    Ok so get this my Mom-my Mother!!!!-say “Thats sad-making”or “thats happy-making”ALL THE TIME!!!! I thought that it was totally Fawsome becuase she’s never even read the books!!

  96. YAY FOR FAWESOMENESS!
    haha my mom says OMG and its really weird
    i would probably get annoyed if she said -makeing
    but its cool that u think is fawesome;D

  97. Eva-la, i’ll see if i can come up with a better design. i know it’s kind of boring.
    jay-wa, i live in western michigan. grand rapids area.

  98. That is an awesome picture! And I really want one of those Hoodies… That’s twice today I’ve wanted a hoodie! All the cast and some of the tech all got matching hoodies for our school play and I’m tech so I could have gotten one but I decided not to. Then they arrived today and I decided I do really want one… Oh well… I’ll just have to content myself with the hoodies I have. Or better yet I could just go finish The Last Days! Good book! ๐Ÿ™‚

  99. i wonder how scott-la came up with fawesome…maybe he did a typo like emi-la…i can imagine that “oops, i spelled awesome wrong–hm…i think i’ll keep it…”

  101. Hahahah ok now I don’t feel so bad!!Cuz after I wrote it I looked it up online and it means f***** awsome and i was like OOPS!!! So hahah ya.

    Ok so I own,and love the Uglies series but I’v enever read The Last Days…or Peeps…should I???I get scared easily…and I heard Peeps is kinda scary so…..would it scare me??SHould I read it???

  103. Becki-la: Same here, I’ve only watched my best friend play it. I was thinking of trying it out, but I have so many games in my computer that I just dowloaded but never played. Like Sims 2. and Cabal.

    Emi-la: Don’t worry, it’s not scary, but totally epic fun. It’s got to be one of my faves.

  105. T&Z, Ashley-wa: Those are good (the emotions and minds) it’s weird that we never think about those things…

    Becki-la: Me too! (western michigan) that’s intense.

    Peace.

  108. trish-la, you’ve never played sims 2? that’s like, one of my favorite games ever. and they’re coming out with sims 3 in the next couple months. sooo excited.

  109. Ashley-wa: You said you can’t see or hear emotions, which isn’t entirely true. I mean, you can hear them when in someones voice, and you can see them on someones face. ๐Ÿ™‚
    T&Z: The minds thing was good. I never really thought about it that way. ๐Ÿ™‚
    Becki-la: Have you considered making Crim shirts? That would be totally awesome. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Click my name. ๐Ÿ˜€

  117. Ashley-wa: You said you can’t see or hear emotion, but techincally that’s not true. I mean, you can hear it in someones voice, and see it on someones face. ๐Ÿ™‚
    T&Z: Interesting view on minds. I’ve never really thought of it that way. ๐Ÿ™‚
    Becki-la: Have you considered making Crim shirts? That would be awesome (or fawesome, whichever you prefer). ๐Ÿ˜€

  120. ok
    so i usded to love twilight and i still do just no as much cause its overrated
    i can give u like 3 other better vamp (or just reg) books

  121. Emi-la, peeps isn’t scary, it’s just a bit disgusting on all the even numbered chapters.
    i like to read those chapters aloud with a totally calm, straight face to my friends and watch them twitch. }:-) muahahaha…

  124. Okay, so now I’m arguing that the mind thing doesn’t work. So I’ll start with the definition of “mind”
    “The human consciousness that originates in the brain and is manifested especially in thought, perception, emotion, will, memory, and imagination.”
    Because it is part of the brain, people can prove it through medical technology. Same for emotions, because the originate from the brain. And because we can prove the existence of the brain and that thoughts come from it and such, it is, in fact, proved logically and true. Having a brain is logical because thoughts must originate from somewhere. Now, the thoughts in the brain may not be logical. But who cares. Anyone else wanna try the answer the question?

  125. Just because we know where the mind supposedly originates from doesn’t mean we can prove it’s existence. The brain is a profoundly complex thing and just because we know that thought, memory, and emotions come from there, and yes they effect the way we act and who we are but every person’s mind is different. Yet most of us feel and experience the same emotions, of course in differing variations, but still we do. And we all have a capacity for memory and thought processes. But what’s the thing that makes us all unique? None of those, but the mind itself. And I’d like to see the day where we have a picture of the mind, where you can see it. Otherwise, it’s not very logical, now is it?

  127. Mmmm it sounds like you guys think I should read peeps… :]I guess my sister was lying about it being scary…….

    Ok!!!I’m good with Fawesome!!!Hahahahaha

    AHHH!!!!!twilight is SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOOOOOOO gooood!!!!!!!!!AHHH!!!

    Cliff diving..hahahah

  129. Okay this is from a couple comments ago, but I am going to list my most fav vamp books. And The House of Night is officially better than Twilight by Untamed.

    The Vampire Diaries
    The House of Night

  132. I am such an HON fan… I would use the myspace layouts but it won’t work for me. I have the desktop and screen saver, and a banner on myspace, though… that is a lot of stuff… I soooo can’t wait till Hunted comes out!! The first chapter has been reseased, and I got it via email and read it… wow. Now I can’t wait even more for Hunted!!!! March is sooo long away…

  133. AK!ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    and ive only read the first 2;D
    but im still looking forward to it cause then there’ll be more to read!!!

  134. Andrea-la: idk, but ur right it can be proved. i was just taking a wild guess anyways. the only thing i can think of is religion related and those don’t count.=D

  135. Becki-la: Actually, I played it. But only twice. It lagged my computer like mad, and I got so bored of designing houses and characters, I haven’t touched it since, also partially because I couldn’t get BoolProp To work.

    Alex-wa: !!! I was working on a blogskin with the desktop images they provided on the official HON site. Would you like it when I’m done? It’s for blogger.com, but you have to revert back to the classic template to use it. I’ll go check out the preview of Hunted.

    Eva-la: Totally, I used to be a twilight fangirl, but it is so overhyped now, I lost interest.

    Some vampire novels better than Twilight:
    Peeps (because I love gruesome biology)
    Sunshine (which I am currently reading)
    Cirque Du Freak (Only read the first book, but it was already quite creepy, also because I couldn’t find the second in the library.)
    Vampire Knight (fine, it is a manga, but still.)

    Just for kicks: http://www.onemanga.com/Nana/35/47/

  137. Ping-la=What wrong with Stephenie Meyers???I Personally LOVE Twilight and donรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt get why yaรขโ‚ฌโ„ขll have such a problem with it!!!!!Itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs like itsnotl iek she is a fraud or something! she earned her way into the business just like Scoot-sensei!!!
    —

    Because her books are sexist—that’s what’s wrong.

  138. You guys suck to the 3rd degree!!! Twilight is definitely over rated, but it still rocks!!! Read it before you make assumptions. And how are her books SEXIST?!?! THAT’S JUST STUPID! THERE’S NO FEMALE OR MALE DISCRIMINATION!!!!! BELLA IS WEAK BECAUSE SHE IS HUMAN, NOT BECAUSE SHE’S A GIRL! WHAT ABOUT ROSALIE AND ESME AND ALICE AND HEIDI AND RENATTA AND ALL THE VOLTURI’S WIVES?!?! AND LEAH CLEARWATER!!! AND EVENTUALLY, BELLA DOES SAVE EVERYONE!!! SO YOU GUYS NEED TO SHUT UP ABOUT IT BEING ‘SEXIST’!!!!!!

  139. I know! my dad says that my little sister cant read the twilight books because there supposedly sexist.

  143. She was out in the forest when she heard
    something shift in the bush.
    No ordinary person would have heard it
    but her senses were specially trained to
    pick up on the slightest little sounds. Her
    muscles vamped up to so she could shoot
    herself forward
    with the slightest push. Her hair was jet
    black swept into a ponytail so her vision
    wouldnรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt be disrupted when she needed
    it to catch a slight displacement in the brush,
    for that was her mission.

    She leapt to the side just as a Karambit flew
    and stuck a tree nearby. Saige Welter had
    never had the best aim. Aliza burst into a fit
    of hysterics when she saw the bush shake
    as if having a seizure. รขโ‚ฌล“ Aliza this is not funny
    ,รขโ‚ฌย screeched Saige, รขโ‚ฌล“ I didnรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt know this was a thorn bush!รขโ‚ฌโ„ข
    รขโ‚ฌหœWell It looks funny to me.รขโ‚ฌย Aliza replied
    breathless from laughing so hard.
    Just then V Morgan walked up beside
    Aliza and asked รขโ‚ฌล“ Why are you laughing at a bush?รขโ‚ฌย
    Again she burst in a fit of laughter soon V realized
    what had happened , and she too started laughing.
    Saige stood up brushing off the thorns sticking to his
    clothes. Aliza soon started helping him. He put his arm
    around her waist and started to leave. V followed suit
    and they left Cutter training camp to go get dehydrated some food.

    *sigh* and that is my sorry attempt at a story

    in other un-happy-making news i’m sick my ex keeps calling me and asked me out yet again (whats that the thired time since we broke up?) my crush that i think or thought likes me i think is using me which is what i kept telling myself would happen i just couldn’t believe it well some happy-making news i did good in the talent show at school ๐Ÿ˜€

    OMG!IM GOING TO EGYPT 2MAROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  149. you’re going to egypt, eva-la?? that is AWESOME!
    twilight…i only read part of it…i should borrow it and then i’ll know where i stand in this debate.

  150. Hey guys, if you liked the Lost Posters vid I shared about a week ago, you might want to check out the Urban Pranksters’ “Happy Birthday” mission. It’s more intense with the camera being hidden and me being undercover!

    An extra for now. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  154. Ashely-wa: I don’t know. I wish I didn’t come up with tough questions. Maybe I’m just looking for tough answers, and to get to that, I need a tough question. I like questions, but not questions with no answer. Which makes me frustrated.

  156. I did that first photo with Specials before. It fit my face perfectly and I was like, “Woahhh.” I tried it with Extras, ehh didn’t work so much. Uglies worked OK. Why didn’t I take a picture!!??!! xD

    Less than three to all!

  157. Andrea-la:

    trueรขโ‚ฌโ€œadjective: being in accordance with the actual state or conditions; conforming to reality or fact; not false: a true story.

    รขโ‚ฌโ€œadjective: reasonable; to be expected: War was the logical consequence of such threats.

    According to Webster, anything that is true, but not is not expected is logical. So, to answer your question, Getting a D on a test, even though you studied all night. Truthfully, I earned a D. Logically, I should have earned an A.

    Dictionary = <3

    An extra for now. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  158. omrg that’s awesome! (if you haven’t heard it before- omrg= oh my rusty god :P) I love that hoodie- my friends and I have already decided to be specials for halloween- we’ll send you pics!

  162. Oh gosh. I’ve GOTTA tell you people about today. Me and my friend were going to school today for a rehersal (a four hour long Saturday rehersal) for the school musical (which isn’t til April). When we got there, we found out that we didn’t need to be there, because they only needed the choruses that are in scenes 1-5. We’re in scene 6. So, we’re at school. We have no way home for four hours. So…..we sit under the staircase and talk randomly for two hours, then we decided to do something interesting. This may or may not be against school rules. We went exploring. And not in all the normal areas. We went to the places where the doors automatically lock behind you and where there are cameras that watch your every move. And then we went to the places where there are no cameras or doors because they’re so hidden. The coolest thing we found was a random staircase with a hallway at the bottem with a random toilet just sitting there. Haha. It was fun! Then we did something that we KNOW is against the rules and we took the elevator to another floor, where normally we could go, but there were random locked doors in the way, so we couldn’t. Haha. It was awesome. So awesome. Too bad we didn’t bring a lock pick, then we coulda broken into the old library, which leads to the old drama room. Ooooh. That woulda been neato. lol. Anyways, today, spending four hours at school, was probably the best Saturday I’ve had in a while. It was awesome.

  163. Sounds fun! I’d totally love to do that! I feel awful though. Like 103 degree fever, major headache, and miserably sore throat do not make for a happy saturday…

  164. Andrea-la: Exploring school (your school) sounds fun. My school sucks, it has cameras EVERYWHERE so pretty much you’re completely screwed if you wanna have fun. Or ride the elevator if you don’t need to. sigh.

    Maggie-la: Omrg=amazing.

    Ashley-wa: I’m going to check out your blog ;D I love people who have blogs…

    T&Z, Andrea-la: I like how you guys have this whole thing going, it’s really weird, but in a good way.

    Eva-la: Egypt sounds vastly cool! Have fun!

    Audrey-Sensei: I told my friend about the improveverywhere and she was like YES! It’s kind of amazing.

    Everyone have a nice evening/day!

  166. That’s okay! I figured I was gonna get sick soon anyways, it’s been going around. Um, I sorta kinda not really know what you mean…but what exactly do you mean? lol.

  168. Oh gosh. Okay, so I have a hilarious story to tell. So this morning, my friend (who I went school exploring with today) got locked out of her own house. Nobody was home with her. She doesn’t know her parents’ cell phone numbers. And she’s in her pajamas. She tries going to her neighbor’s houses. They aren’t home. She trys going to her friends’ houses. They aren’t home. So she has to try the house across the street, where my cousins live. To fully appriciate this story, you’ve gotta know two things. One, that my friend was in her pajamas, wearing bright pink slippers, and half a face-mask (like, bright colored muck on her face.) Two, you’ve gotta know that the only person home was my second oldest cousin. He is more than six feet tall and looks slightly like an ax murderer. He’s the nicest person on the planet, but he just looks like someone who might be dangerous. He is also slighty anti-social and has never met my friend before, seeing as she lives across the street. So she comes to the door. My older cousin opens the door, and being a very nice person says that she can come in. Also, you’ve gotta know that my friend wasn’t wearing her glasses, even though she can’t see anything without them. It’s the kind of story that you’ve gotta tell out loud, but anyways, so then my older cousin calls my mom cuz we’re picking my friend up for rehersal at 12:30. The thing was, it was 10:30 and we were at the other side of the city, shopping. So my friend had to stay at my cousin’s house with my ax-murderer looking cousin for two hours. Let the fun begin. It’s just so funny. The thing is, my cousin is a really nice person, he writes poetry. But you’d never guess that by the way he looks. Just my friend couldn’t see that without her glasses. Oh, and to fully appriciate this story, I live in Canada. It’s COLD outside at this time of year. lol. Anyways, funny, funny.

  169. ROFL! That’s hilarious! I wish I had an axe murderish seeming cousin…fun things would happen. Yeah…and it totally sucks being locked out. I’ve had to hop my fence and pop the screen off one of the windows before. But that was kinda fun so…yeah.

  170. Ugh, I hate being locked out. Actually, I hate being out. I’m an indoor person. ๐Ÿ˜›

    Anyway, I have finally finished my zombie story. Click my name to read the end (I warn you, it’s kind of long). ๐Ÿ˜€

  171. Hay Scott,
    I’ve read almost all the books you’ve published, and I just wanted to say, that you are absolutely fabulous. You inspire me to ponder and explore every unknown possiblity of vampires, secret hours, and alternate realities. I wish they were real. Exactly how you penned them. Honestly, you opened my eyes to fiction. That probably sounds cooky, but it is the honest to God truth.
    You probably get a lot of people saying things related to the content of this comment, but I just wanted to let you know that I’m not a crazy fan that will stalk you down and force you to write a life changing book about yours truly. I’m simply a teenage girl that has been insanely affected by you’re creativity. Thank you.

    Yours truly,
    Cortney Leigh

  173. Hilarious story, Andrea-la…kinda reminds me of when first period art class next door to my science class would lock their teacher out of the classroom once every few weeks…don’t know why.

  174. T&Z: funny u r sick now and i was sick last week. although i m always getting sick. two years ago i got strep throat 5times. anyways i hope u feel better. being sick sucks majorly.=D

  175. Andrea-la: ur school sounds really old and cool. my school doesn’t have security cameras and all the doors lock when u close them(4safety) so the only place i could go in my school is the halway. it wouldn’t b fun either cause i know my school very well and have at one time or another been in every room. my school is very small=D hahaha!!!! my friend had that happen 2 her b4 but she doesn’t wear glasses and had 2 go around the corner 2find somebody that would let her in.

  176. Dahlia-wa oh oh oh that was cool so cool ok i just had to say that

    blah blah blah i might change my name so if i do don’t be alarmed but ok wellll i have nothing to post about so i will go to ebay and try and get a life for cheap (hmm i wonder how much shipping is??)

  177. Eva-la: Egypt? Whoa! That is so majorly fawesome, tell us about it when you get back.

    Andrea-la: Must have been a pretty cool adventure around the school. And your friend being locked out reminds me of one of the recent xkcd comic strip. I’ve been most places around my small school except the catwalk atop the auditorium stage (because it’s locked), the principle’s office (nobody WANTS to go there), and the hostel (there is a guard there)
    I’ve an experience that involves the school and being locked. My school has both a back gate and a front gate, I take the public bus and the bus stop is at the back gate. The backgate is locked at exactly 8, so, once, when I stayed back very late to practice for a performance, most of the others either stayed in the hostel or left by the front gate. One other senior, who took the public bus too, taught me how to climb the back gate of the school. It was seriously easy, despite security cameras and stuff. Now I just scale the gate myself. =DD

    Oh yeah! HEROES RETURNING IN 2 DAYS!!!

  180. Coutney: Scott-la is completely awesome. Yes.

    Dahlia-wa: I’m looking forward to your story!!

    Trish-la: What’s a hostel? Your school sounds interesting–where you live sounds interesting.

    Ashley-wa: Small schools aren’t bad! My school is ginormous and walking in it is exercise and a maze. It’s kind of a wonder how there’s overweight people…

    peace.

  184. Is it ani-la or wa??? … oh well. i love uglies. and is mind-rain the next book in the series? (i’m a little out of it) but if it is you need to change the name to cakes. or i won’t get it. jk. i’ll get it no matter what the name is cuz i luv uglies!!!

  185. I just wrote a poem. In case I haven’t told y’all lately, I’m back to not quite believing in God. Anyways, I had a burst of creative energy, and wrote a poem.
    Can nobody see that I’m broken inside?
    Can nobody see there’s so much I must hide?
    Can nobody see that I’m totally sad?
    Why does everyone call that bad?
    Does nobody see the pain I feel?
    Can nobody see that I’m trying to heal?
    Does nobody care that I’m in so much pain?
    Or do they just care about their gain?
    Does anyone see that I’ve lost my way?
    Can anyone see that I’m not okay?
    Does anyone hear me when I cry?
    Or am I shouting at the sky?
    Must I be shouting louder still?
    Or is that simply against my will?
    Does anyone see my messed up heart?
    Or will time fix that part?
    Does anyone hear my shouts for help?
    Or are those just pointless yelps?
    Can anyone see my haunting doubts?
    Or is that for me to figure out?
    Can’t they see that I want to have faith?
    But that I think it a pointless chase?
    Does nobody see that I’m trying my best?
    But that I can’t see a treasure chest?
    Does anyone see the tears from my eyes?
    Is there any point to my cries?
    Does anyone even care about me?
    Will anybody give me a key?
    Are you saying that God can help?
    Are you saying that He hears my yelps?
    Are you saying that He sees my tears?
    Are you saying that He loves me dear?
    Why should I believe those words?
    Why should I think that i’ve been heard?
    Because you claim that it is true?
    Because you claim that Jesus loves you?
    But within those words is there fact?
    Can you prove to me that?
    Can’t you tell that I’m trying to see?
    Can’t you tell that there’s something I need?
    Why should God care about my life?
    How can He see that my pain is worse than that of a knife?
    Why wont He fix my pain?
    Why wont He prove His claims?
    When will this all be fixed?
    When will my emotions stop being mixed?
    When will life start going right?
    Can’t you see that I’m trying with all my might?
    Why can’t all this just go away?
    Why can’t I have fun for a day?
    When will I stop being sad?
    When will I start being glad?
    All these questions I have to ask,
    For now I’m hiding behind a mask.

  189. Ani-la: You got it right, first guess.

    Beautiful poem, Andrea-la.

    Jay-wa: Funny you should metion that where I live sounds interesting because my friends and I were just thinking about how it would be interesting to be in some other country and which we would want to be in. (One chose France, one chose America, two chose Japan, and I chose Australia.) Hostel is where you stay if you’re a boarding school student. (There are quite some overseas students here.)

    My Monday was pretty okay, except I had to sit through biology with a boring teacher… ZZZzzz… But history class made up for it because we have the best history teacher ever!! (She bribes us with candies.. hehe.)

  190. Trish-la: Oh (about the hostels) And I’d pick Australia to go vist too, I’m sick of cold. You live in Singpore right? (sorry if you don’t, I’m not very good at remembering things…)

    Today was a sleepy Monday I think…

  191. I just clicked on the Uncanny Vally link up above, and it’s kind of like whoa. Basically when you see something that looks human (ie robot, facebook) you want to accept it but it revolts you.
    Trippy.

  202. Oh gosh. Can you guys be perfectly honest when telling me if you think that I’ve gone completely insane? Okay, so in drama class, we had to write monologues and I couldn’t stop writing. I’ve written maybe twelve at this point, but ten are about the same two characters. The thing is, the characters have been FOLLOWING ME AROUND! Kinda. Like, don’t get me wrong, they aren’t imaginary friends. They are far too real for that. Far, FAR too real. Or maybe they’re more like imaginary stalkers. Now, I can’t tell you their names here because they said that they don’t want me to, but really, there’s two of them, and they’re both 14 year old girls (who could possibly be more annoying?). Ummmm….So do I sound insane, or is this normal? Also, does anyone know how to make them SHUT UP? Because if I don’t write down what they want me to, they start following me around and telling me what they want to rant at each other. So yeah.

  203. oh jay-wa jacob burst out of his clothes in mid air how much more awsome can you get!

  207. Andrea-la: That’s not insane. (okay, it kind of is but…) and I think the best way to get them to shut up is to write down their story and trap them in their realm with the ending (*evil laughter*) Drama sounds fun…

    Eclipse: Almost anything is better then ruining all of your clothes. That’d get a little bogus after awhile. Not to mention the whole naked-transform thing. Weird and mildly creepy..

  208. Eclipse i have to agree with jay-wa on the jacob ruining his clothes thing. it wont be cool anymore when he runs out of clothes. Katy-la: team edward all the way!!!!!!!!

    Andrea-la: i honestly dont think your insane but do u see them or r they just in your head? and i would listen to jay-wa, that sounds like a good idea

  209. lol…they decided to leave me alone for now because i’m working on my analogy for science class. lol. and i don’t actually see them and when i do, they are semi-transparent. but i can describe them completely, even the way they walk.

  210. o ok well thats good then. ive never really heard of semi transparent people that are really annoying just visible annoying people lol its interesting let me know if they come back

  211. WOAH
    yet another book to go with the UGLIES!!!
    SHWEET!

    When will theese books come out?!?!?!
    i can not wait!!

  212. Andrea-la: that’s really cool…I hope they stop annoying you soon, though. logic is trying to tell me that that is insane, but for some reason I don’t think that’s the case. Couldn’t tell you why, but it just doesn’t seem crazy to my mind.

  213. o andrea-la i just read your poem right now and its beautiful. i think everybody has those doubts but your alive so He must love you right?! i think sometimes things just happen for a reason.

  214. great poem andrea-la it really is. Ive been trying to write music myself lately. it’s not going to tell well haha

  215. Seriously, Andrea-la? Semi transparent people? Wow, you guys are sooooo funny! I like just read every comment since my last one, which was like 131! LOL big time. Oh, me and my friends are getting together and……………………….. you’d never guess it………………….. we’re filming our own Uglies movie! Yep! There is a real life Uglies movie coming out this year by me! I’m Shay, cause I look the most like Shay. Other than the fact that I’m short and not that skinny at all… yeah. It’s gonna be sooo cool! My backyard is perfect. It’s a forest, litterally! Oh, and I’m glad to live in the good ol’ USA. Wouldn’t live anywhere else. I’d visit lots of places, but when it comes to permenent residence, its the good ol’ USA. “God Bless the USA!!” Wow, I already can’t wait till 4th of July! And my B-Days only 24 days after that! Cool, right? My school is huge, and new. Nothing to really explore.

  216. Oh, and Rosie, it’s Rosie-la, not wa. Your name doesn’t have an L in it, so it’s la. If there was an L in it, then it’d be wa. Oh, and I forgot to change mi name on the last comment to go to the official Alexwa13 studios presentation of Uglies movie site! So now click on mi name, and you’ll go to the official Uglies movie site! There you’ll find all of the most up to date info on the upcoming Uglies movie by Alexwa13 studios! Woot Woot!

  217. Alex-wa: I checked out your movie site. Sounds cool. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Yesterday I finally bought HTDYF, but I haven’t started it yet. I’m waiting until I finish Eighth Grade Bites to start it. I’m sooo excited to read HTDYF!!! ๐Ÿ˜€ If only I had started reading that in the car instead of EGB. ๐Ÿ˜›

    Click my name. ๐Ÿ™‚

  218. yeahh i know its Rosie- La but i think that sounds awkward with Rosie ….everyone always points it out but i’m just like i like Wa better with Rosie. now if i used Rose i would says Rose-La but i don’t lol

  219. yesss Im excited we are having a writing contest Im I have the coolest story idea for it, I just have to keep it under 1200 words, easy peasy pumpkin pie
    its inspired by a dream that was I almost positive was inspired by That Green Gentleman by Panic at the Disco

  221. UGH!!!! i don’t want 2 go 2 school 2day. we had this sub. on Friday in history and she got really mad @my class so part of our homework was to write her a sorry letter. in mine i used words such an, bogusness, brain-missing, and happy-making. i’m sure she’ll love it!!!=D

  222. i am so bored. i want to run, really far and really hard, but alas, i can’t because it’s winter. meh. oh, and i can’t cuz i ran two miles yesterday and that’s before all the swimming (STUPID TIME TRIALS!). anyways……i made an analogy for science class…that was fun….

  224. Rosie-wa: I agree with the -la and -wa thing, once you get use to it it’s a little weird to change it…

    Kenzie-La: I can’t wait to read your story! I love, love, love that song!!!

    Alex-wa: I hope your movie will be amazing! I’m kind of excited..!

    Ashley-wa: Your sub sounds bogus. If I had to write a sorry letter, I’d be like ‘I wasn’t misbehaving, so I’m not sorry. I’m sorry I don’t have mind powers to control everyone else in my class, however. If I did have mind powers, that’d be righteous.’ unless I was being loud and brain-missing…

    Andrea-la: That’s the sucky part about winter, you can’t run outside. And running outside is far superior than running inside. I, personally, have this hang up with running bare-foot. Do you do track or anything?

  225. Dahlia-wa: I went to your blog, the rain boots were amazing, along with those converse and watch rings! I saw the converse and my eyes popped out of my head. They’re pretty rad.

    Alex-wa: The flower on your Uglies movie sight it so cool! (so is the site!)

    Peace everyone!

  226. Lol. I love how people on here always end up talking about other books (mainly Twilight). i was just reading what people were talking about earlier…and i agree that it would totally suck to ruin all your clothes (like jacob) but i (both) love Edward and Jacob. ๐Ÿ˜€

  227. I love love love twilight. it rox my sox. but i also love all of scott-la’s books to. im now reading peeps its pretty good but all the parasite fun facts r gross.

  228. hehe, i LOVE the peeps funfacts. i am not grossed out by them at ALL. i’m the type of person who can watch shows about the hundreds of weird things that can be in a person’s body and think “this is so cool…”
    i seriously wish my ankle wasn’t screwed up. I really wanted to climb a tree tomorrow…

  229. sorry i disappeared for a while, guys.
    i’ve updated my shop a little bit. i added a crim hat [that will eventually be a tshirt] and changed the ‘team zane’ design because it was a bit boring.
    i’m looking at what it’ll cost me to update to a premium shop so i can have more products, etc. i’m just not sure what kind of money i’ll be making from it, so i wanna find out how much interest there really is in it.

  230. Cool! I like the cap idea… I wonder if I can submit my own ideas? Oh, and to the folks keeping up with my Uglies movie, I’m about to update the site! Click on my name.

  233. Beck-la: What program do you use for your designs??? ๐Ÿ™‚
    BTW, awesome Crim design. Can’t wait to see it on a shirt. Oh, and I suggest starting another basic shop instead of getting a premium shop. Just seems easier if you ask me. ๐Ÿ™‚

  234. wow…this stuff is pretty epic, and yes i say epic but i like it…i would definetly buy it…if i had money epic fail ><

  235. Dahlia-wa: lol this is so random, but I felt that I must post this ๐Ÿ˜› when I saw those watch rings I was like- OMRG you should wear them on your middle finger! because that way if someone asks you for the time you can just give them the finger! wow… I’m a mean person :P:P

    on another completly irrelevent note- my class went curling today- I fell on my knees, back, and butt- not so fun :S

    on the way back from curling (we walked) there was a epic battle ๐Ÿ˜› my teacher went to help somebody that had been pushed into a snowbank up, and because we were on a sidewalk, he ended up throwing her onto the other side of it! lol it was funny ๐Ÿ˜› and she landed in snow, so she was ok, just a bit cold and wet ๐Ÿ˜›

  236. Jay-wa: No, I don’t do track, but I do triathlons. I’m actually mainly a swimmer and that’s why I joined triathlon training, but recently I’ve been coming to love the running. The biking will be better once we can do it outside. I’ve been running for that twice a week, but that’s not enough, so I’ve been running in the fitness room at school during my spares. Except I can’t do that now because apparently I have to go to counsoling. Fun.

  237. andrea-la i swim too. im on my high school swim team but honestly im not very good. they dont cut freshmen lol.

    becki-la i love the crim hat i seriously am asking for it for my b-day

  238. K sorry guys I know I said that I was updating my site and I didn’t! I was having issues getting the pics and videos on the computer. So now I will be updating it for real! So NOW you can click on my name!

  239. Andrea-la=Your poem’s very……..truthful.But you konw God shouldn’t be…..trend..or Thing in your life he should be your everything.Just sayin….

    Jay-wa=I do track.And basketball.
    Do you??

  240. alex-wa im really looking forward to your movie! im really excited.

    emi-la track looks really fun but kinda hard. i love to play basketball in my free time

  241. Lexie-wa Track’s really not that hard.I do the 50 meter dash,the relay,and somtimes the long jump.What position do you like best in basketball?

  243. dahlia-wa: yeah, i might just end up doing that. but my mom was saying she might help me with it, because she loves the idea of my opening a shop to sell my designs, even if they’re only uglies designs.
    i use mostly adobe illustrator to make my designs. but i do use indesign and photoshop some as well, depending on how in-depth the design is and what it’s for.

  247. Emi-la: i love the 50 and the 100 and the 100relay.

    the sports i do, if u can call them sports are track and ballet. i do track in the spring3 hours a week and ballet from August- July, 4.5 hours a week. idk if it should b called a sport though. =D

  248. sports are for the coordanated…. which I am not ๐Ÿ˜› I had the best track and field last year though- I sprained my ankle and didn’t have to compete ๐Ÿ˜› I do swim though… but they don’t offer that at my school, and that makes me mad ๐Ÿ˜›

  249. Oooh… there’s a lot of runners here. Unfortunately for me, I swim like a fish but I also happen to run like a fish (Read: I can’t).

    I used to swim at least once a week, if I’m training or smthing it can be up to four during the hols. But I stopped because I hardly have any time. I used to be in cheer but for only a single year, basing (mostly), then the cheer team broke up.

    So that leaves me with my current sports (if it can be called that) contemporary/modern dance. About 3 – 4 hours each practice, and practices are twice a week (currently, because we have an upcoming competition). Very bruising activity because of all the rolling on floor.

    Btw, Anyone watched the latest episode of Heroes on Monday?

  250. Emi-la: I did track last year and the year before that, (and shotput. LONG LIVE SHOTPUT!!) but I get too competative and mean…and I don’t like most of the people on the team. (they wear like SUPER short shorts. It should be illegal) I did softball once, and no. But I’m dying for summer so I can go outside and not freeze to death.

    Andrea-la: Wow. A triatholon sounds hard…

    Trish-la, Ashley-wa: Dancing is a sport! Ballet sounds fun, hard, but fun.

    Haley~Hyperness is ICY: Karate sounds like it would be fun, and empowering!

    Tally&Zane: Is tennis hard? I always thought it’d be fun, but I don’t have any hand-eye corrdination…so..balls hurt

    My friend and I want to make a ping-pong team. Which would be rad.

    everyone have a good day/night/noon. ๐Ÿ˜€

  251. we’re doing the presidential challenge in phys ed–a mile run, suicides (//shudders//), situps, pushups, sit and reach—GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! sigh. it’s not gun.
    and the only prize is the president’s signature and, no offense intended, but i really don’t like obama. his politics stink!
    sigh. i hate when people say it’s racist to dislike obama. come ON people! if any other person came along with his politics, i would STILL NOT LIKE HIM. somepeeps r so annoying!
    ๐Ÿ˜ก well gtg and pretend 2 do hmrk… ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

  252. hey! havent posted in FOREVER. and i have a new name. does anyone know who i am?? try to guess.
    so i guess i just found out that none of the names i had created for the title of the analogy book are being used. that sucks. but i guess Mind Rain does work so its all good.
    i see we’re on a sports subject…unless thats done with but watever. SOFTBALL IS THE BEST!!!! NO QUESTION!! END OF DISCUSSION! so there.
    does anyone else here HATE science? im learning earth and space science (i suck at it btw) and i hate it!! i just had a test today and totally bombed it. seriously. it sucked. i also don’t like history. its soooooooo boring. even though i really don’t like skool except english and right now we’re doing a research report (mine’s on LSD in the 1960s) and reading a book called Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes. i know that sounds dumb but its a good book i finished it yesterday and everyone else is on chapter nine. but anyway even though i don’t like skool im still eighteenth in my class out of two hundred ninety one students so i gess im sorta smart but watever.
    im reading THE HOST right now (good book) and then ive got three other books lined up to read.
    Twilight the movie comes out March 21 (im sure u all knew that) and i cant wait. New Moon the movie is coming out at the end of this year. Dakota Fanning might play Jane and either Vanessa Ann Hudgeson or Brenda Song might play Leah Clearwater. i really hope not though because i dont want a disney channel star invading the world of twilight. that would just suck.

  253. wow! i just reread my last post and i sound like totally ADD or ADHD or watever. but i just skipping from subject to subject. i gess thats how my week has been going. i woke up on tuesday and thought i was friday and today felt like friday but its only thursday but tomorrow is friday. yay! i would have said this all in the last post but my sister had to do some homework with the computer. ugh!
    oh! another thing i JUST rememered is that…for all u people who wanted Barack Obama to win the election well he confessed that he’s messed up THREE TIMES already and he’s only been in office for a month…not even. some of the people he picked to be in his Cabinet or watever havent paid their taxes and wat not. two of the three werent sworn in but one was and he’s the one who’s going to be controlling our money (yay!) so just thought i’d let you all know that. also he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay (probably killed that spelling) which houses all the terrorists and criminal-like people. i don’t think thats a good idea coz uh where are all the terrorists gonna go??? are we gonna start an Adopt a Terrorist! foundation so they have a place to live?! i think not!! i’m seriously scared for my life coz if we have freaking TERRORISTS running around who knows wat the hell they’ll do!!! ugh!!!
    just thought i’d tell u that Obama’s not on my top 10 list right now and i think he BRAINWASHED u all into loving him. he’s not the right man for the job and that’s all im gona say.
    i hope this raises some discussion. actually…i KNOW it will. gess im an antagonist that way! haha.

  254. BIGGEST GREEN DAY FAN EVER!!!!!- the host made me cry ๐Ÿ™ I didn’t like it that much though…. like, I liked it, but it got annoying- stephenie meyer had like, the same people in it- jared- edward. Ian- Jacob. Jamie- Seth. mmmhhmmm- think about it ๐Ÿ˜› hey have any of you read the mysterious benedict soceity? I just finished it, and I was sad when it ended- I haven’t felt that way about a book for a while, so if you’re looking for something to read, just thought I’d put that out there ๐Ÿ˜› back to the host for a sec- there’s an eclipse meadow scene in the host too- I think you know what I mean

    “Jacob, please kiss me”

    “Ian, I need you to kiss me”

    or something very very close to that- do you see my point now?

  255. BIGGEST GREEN DAY FAN EVER!!!!!: I can’t BELIEVE you hate science! Science is awesome. I love science SO much. Seriously. Speaking of good books, I just finished the book “Bruchko” and I absolutely loved it. No idea WHY, but I did.

    Emi-la: I haven’t a clue. All I know is that right now, I just don’t know anything. Ah. Just like my science teacher said today. “The more you understand, the more you understand how little you understand.” I like that.

    Okay, while we’re talking sports, I do triathlon training and I used to do competitive swimming. Please don’t kill me for bringing math into a perfectly good convo about sports, but yesterday in math class, the teacher had this question about how to figure out how far it is to get to the other side of the lake and he’s going on and on about how long a swim it was, and then we did the math and found out it was 400metres. And I was all “Hey, this can’t be right, you said it was a long swim” and he just looked at me and was all “Andrea, you do realise that not everyone is a competitive swimmer.” and then i said “Actually, I do triathlon now.” and he’s like “Swimming wasn’t enough torture?” and I was all “Yeps.” and then he continued to teach the class mentioning every few minutes how that would just be a warm up for someone who does competitive swimming, meanwhile the whole time i was muttering under my breath “Half a warm up.” lol. He just kept on giving me weird looks.

  256. BIGGEST GREEN DAY FAN EVER: at least obama ADMITTED he made a mistake…bush STILL won’t admit it.
    Andrea-la: nice, you freaked out your teacher. I love freaking out my teachers by doing stuff like that…and you must be in REALLY good shape…

  257. Man!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Tube soooo doesn’t like me! I am trying to post some funny Uglies stuff, and it just won’t! I am sooo freaking mad…………………

  258. la la la…I’m so bored. haha. Very bored. lol. haha. tee hee. okay, so that was pointless. turns out when you are unbarably bored, you have nothing to say.

  260. Um…tennis is okay. I just started playing like this year, so I totally suck though. But my friend’s been playing for years, and going to the club for lessons and everything though so she’s freakin amazing and in the process of teaching me! (I don’t think it’s gonna work though!) Biggest Green Day Fan ever, I SO know who you are! I just can’t remember your name that you used before! But I do remember you, not just saying that.

  261. Haley~Hyperness is ICY: lol. freaking out teachers is fun. and no, i’m not in good shape. good shape is what i was in last year while doing swimming training five times a week. now, it’s triathlon twice a week. and i freaked out my drama teacher just cuz i couldn’t stop writing monologues. this is what he said to me “Andrea, when there are six monologues, they aren’t monolgoues anymore. Then they’re just wordy conversations.” lol. true, oh so true. but really, there’s eight. and the monologue characters wont shut up. so i’ve started talking to them. and they and intensly annoying. but they WERE giving each other the silent treatment. now they’re stopped. which means i have to put up with them. and NO they are NOT my imaginary friends….i perfer the term “Fictional stalkers”…

  263. I gave my teacher part of my story to look over…its going, good? Everyone says its good but no one will give any critizism, its slightly annoying.
    i’m also entering a poem, I thought why not, it was something much easier to do than my story.

  264. BIGGEST GREEN DAY FAN EVER: I LOVE SCIENCE. Love Math, Love Chemistry, Love Physics, Don’t Love Bio as much (because of my teacher). And history is fun (because of teachers that bribe us with candies)!

    Okay, I’m a bit odd, the only subjects I really dislike was human geography and literature because I’m not one for the classics. So I dropped both subjects and I never have to see them again! =D

    Andrea-la: Now that is getting seriously creepy, but that probably means you have a good writing fairy or something. My characters board themselves up into little cupboards and I have problems inviting them out. Psh. And yes to the 400m thingy you told your teacher. 400m isn’t even much of a run (and I abhor running long distance, I have very little stamina) much less a swim.

    Grr, I had dance this afternoon, and then tomorrow. My shoulders are so bruised up from all the rolling on floor.

  265. Man!!! Being sick sucks.I have to stay home and I don’t really want too. :[

    Andrea-la Ya I know what you mean.

  268. Andrea-la: I like what your science teacher said. It’s vastly true. (on kind of the same note: some said we live a long time “Like, one hundred years, like” and that’s not long what-so-ever.)
    And wow, with the 400 meters thing, I ran two miles (I can’t convert, sorry. I don’t know how) and I was sore this morning..

    BIGGEST GREEN DAY FAN EVER: =TYC Leader? I’m pretty sure that’s right. What Haley said is true about him at least he admitted he made a mistake. (when he did that, everyone sort of gasped) And science and history are uh-mazing.

    (yay! I have Friday and Monday off!! Yay!!)

    Ashley-wa: I wish it were summer too! I’m sorry you have hw, it sucks worse then a vacuum. (’cause vacuums suck! hahaha.)

    Alex-wa: I was telling my friend about your movie. She thinks it’s a good idea. I looked at your pictures (went yesss) I hope it goes well!

  269. Alex-wa: I loved the bloopers. Especially the cat one…I saw the fur and was like ‘uh-oh..’

    Andrea-la: At least your stalkers are fictional and not real. Then you’d have some serious problems! Good luck with them…

  271. hey, has anyone called crayola to convince them to produce ‘cat vomit pink’ as an offical color? lol I was working on this project for art where you have to draw a picture using only one line (extremly hard btw) and I did tally looking out her window at new pretty town, and I found it impossible to find a good color for the sky =P

  272. So just for the record, my name really is Lala =] I just started the Uglies series, and read them in 2 days… dude. BRILLIANT. I haven’t gotten Extra’s. My husband tells me a get too obsessed and that I need to calm down. Now that I’ve found this site, I fear for my marriage!! bahahaha just kidding. Anyways, I love the ‘facebook’. I fully thought it was the real cover and couldn’t figure out why it didn’t look right. EEEK! I need help. And I am totally making a shirt like the specials one… This is so happy-making!! i love love love it!! Go WESTERFELD!!!!

  273. Ashely-wa: Okay, because you mentioned vacuums….during choir class a few days ago, we were working on learning “The Pink Panther”. The teacher compared this to a vacuum. This went on and on and on, and we kept on talking and then eventually we ended up talking about swimming (please note that I’M in that class…lol….) and it was hilarious how off topic we got.

  274. Andrea-la: i love getting off topic! my science teacher Mrs. Harding always gets off topic. yesterday by the end of class we had listened to numerous itunes 32second songs 4 absolutely no reason. we were supposed 2 b studdying 4 our test which was 2day, but somehow ended up on itunes.=D it was great!

  275. Andrea-la YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!!My tacher ALWAYS stays on-task!!

    Maggie-la No,I’ll have to get on that :]

  276. QUESTION!!!QUESTION!!!!!EVERYONE I HAVE A TOTALLY BUBBLY QUESTION!!!!!
    Have any of you read “Scrambled Eggs at Midnight”????
    If so what did you think of it??

  278. Click on my name to get to my cafepress store. I know, I don’t have many products up yet, and there are only two designs, but it’s getting late and i’m exhausted. Plus, if you are in Choir at Monte Vista High School in Danville, CA you’ll apreciate the “Team Koliha” shirts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  279. Emi-la: This was choir class though. Even though…haha…in science class we DO have some good class discussions when we get “off topic” to philosophy. Fun stuff.

  280. Jeezummmmmmmm…….I had a major clutzy moment yesterday. I was messing around with my friends in the locker room, and I’m the smallest one out of all of them so I was just like shoving against em and they weren’t budging at all. Then my other friend was all Hey! Try it with me! And I was stupid and gullible so I was like Okay! And then I did and was like shoving with all my weight as hard as I fricking could then she just stepped to the side and I kept on going! I fell and hit my head on the bench and then the cement floor. Megahelens of ouchness, my head still hurts. So yeah, that was part of my fun day. Lol.

  281. Tally&Zane hahaha srry i can’t help but laugh.That sucks but its still wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy funny….haha…he..he….hehe…..

    Andrea-la I can’t get ANY of my teachers of task!Not evn my crazy band teacher!!!!(pouty face)

  283. my english teacher gets off task alot! eventho its english and we have discussions he talks about arnold swartzenager and how the teachers dont get paid enough. and then when theres 10 minutes of class left he says pull out your worksheets. He gets side tracked EXTREMELY easy

    Tally&Zane: poor you (glad u cant see me id be laughing…a little) thats what happens to me. my friends say try this and i end up getting hurt

  285. Tally&Zane ok I will!HAHAHAHAHAH ROFL!!!!!AHAHAHAHAHA ROFL ROFL!!!!!!!HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

    I’m just messinwith ya its not THAT funny :]

  286. ya i just wish my science teacher wass a little less crazy. everyday she has a different color in her hair. yesterday it was purple!

  287. OMG can you say abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz all at once. say it like one word its really cool. my art teacher taught it to me.

  288. T&Z: That sounds really painful. I think it would take me a few years to be able to laugh at a head injury… or talk to the person responsible for it.

    I got a new template for 13 and Co. Click my name to see it. ๐Ÿ˜€

  289. we have twin day on monday! ๐Ÿ˜† teehee then we have a pj day and a crazy sock/hair day, and a culture day and most of all NO UNIFORMS.

  290. T&Z: Oh gosh. That sounds like something that I would do. Don’t worry, at least you haven’t fallen down the stairs with a bike recently. Anyways, that sounds painful.

  296. Hey guys, some slightly badish news. We couldn’t work on Uglies today. ๐Ÿ™ The actor that plays Tally had guests come over, and no matter what the hell she did, her parents wouldn’t let her come over! Parents just suck sometimes. So Uglies is set back another week. *Sigh* So, we have to wait yet another week to work on it. So some bad news. But on the good side, I guess thsi gives me some more time to work on the scenes.

  297. Ha, yeah. If it was anyone but that person that did it, I’d be REALLY mad. But I’ve known her for years and so I also know that a lot of times she doesn’t think of the consequences of her actions before she does them. Lol, but she felt really bad so it’s okay I guess. I came so close to falling down stairs while riding a bike! It was a couple years ago at the jr high and they have cement stairs on the outside so on the weekend my friends and I went there and I got dared to ride down the stairs and I did it. It was sooooo much fun, but I do NOT reccomend it if you have any sense of self preservation whatsoever. And if you do, wear a helmet, and keep that mass of goo in your head safe. It’d be the smart thing to do…

  299. Ashley-wa: A vacuum sucks like sucks up dirt. I’m so lame..I just laughed at that again.

    Alex-wa: That’s a bummer about your movie! It’ll still be da’ bomb I’m sure.

    Tally&Zane: Ouch. I kind of got a headache reading that…riding a bike down stairs sounds dangerous and painfully bumpy.

    Andrea-la: Ouch. Again.

    Lexie-wa: It’s kind of cool your science teacher has random colored hair some days…and that word (the abc one) do you say each letter individually or like you would with a word?

    PeepGrrl: Team Zavid shirt, for those who can’t choose!

    LaLa-Wa: It’s kind of amazing that older people are getting sucked into this. (muahahahaha) It’s kind of amazing how it’s not just teens.

    Maggie-la: Brilliant idea…people would buy crayons, see the color and get confused. But then they would use it and find it was, in fact, the purrr-fect color for the sunset. (I’m full of lame puns lately…has to do with that facebook I bet..)

    Dahlia-wa: I like the new template.

    Peace.

  301. Andrea-la I still don’t get it…how’d you fall down the stairs with a bike…..?………i’m being totally brain-missing huh?

    Jay-wa OHHHH hahahah I get it now too!!Vacums…hahaha….

  306. Jay-wa: U R CORRECT! it’s me!!! TYC LEADER! (which i think i like better…not sure)

    Tally&Zane: thanx for remembering who i was event though u couldn’t remember my name. thats ok.

    Can’t remember who said “at least Obama admitted he made a mistake”. i agree with u there. i know bush didnt admit any of his mistakes and im not even a supporter of bush nor was i a supporter of mccain (i just thought he’d be better than Obama) i really just don’t care anymore. i know i should but i don’t. i’m still concerned about the whole Guantanamo Bay thing but…i dunno wat’ll happen with that. i wont even get into the whole abortion thing coz that’s just a REALLY sensitive topic.

    maggie-la: i just read that part a few hours ago and now that i think about it the host is just like the twilight series. the weird thing is that i liked edward in twilight but i like Ian in the host. weird i know. i’m gona try to finish it tonight…hopefully.

    if anyone wants a kick ass movie to see. GO SEE PUSH!!! amazing movie! of course not better than twilight but pretty damn close. except for the fact that robert pattinson was in twilight and not in push. dakota fanning was HILARIOUS in the movie. she’s a great actress! i hope she plays jane in New Moon that would be SWEET!!!!

    ok…i guess im crazy for not liking history or science. i guess i wasn’t clear i just don’t like Earth and Space science biology and stuff like that is fine. i just SUCK at earth and space science. history on the other hand…i duno… i just find it boring. i’d rather talk about the future, but that’s just me. i still love English!

    GREEN DAY WORLD TOUR 2009!!!!
    “Blood, Sex And Booze”
    Waiting in a room
    All dressed up and bound and gagged
    To a chair
    It’s so unfair
    I won’t dare move, for the pain
    She puts me through is what I need
    So make it bleed

    I’m in distress, oh mistress
    I confess so do it one more time
    These handcuffs are too tight
    You know I will obey, so please
    Don’t make me beg
    For blood, sex and booze you give me

    Some say I’m disturbed
    But it’s what I deserve, another lesson
    To be learned…from a girl called kill
    My head is in the gutter
    Thank you sir, strike up another mandolin
    Of discipline
    Throw me to the dogs
    Let them eat my flesh down
    To the wood
    It feels so good

  307. I actually like to vaccum and sweep and dust! Those are the only types of chores that I like, though. I ablolutly dispise emptying the dishwasher. I don’t know why, I just do!

  308. Alex-wa: I don’t like emptying the dishwasher either. I only like to clean on very rare occasions, and sweping and dusting is way too tedious for me..

    BIGGEST GREEN DAY FAN EVER (aka: TYC leader): Yay! I guessed right!…I don’t think I’ve heard that song before… I love space science! Are you insane? We could have other people out in space! Just think of it like the future. You liked the Twilight movie? Like a book to movie or just movie movie?

    My sister is being a freak, so I have to go…Everyone have a nice day/night!

  310. I absolutely LOVE these! You are such an amazing writer. You are the only writer that is making me dread almost being to the extras book. I LOVE these books. I want that Specials hoodie! It is just AMAZING!!!! If anyone wants to chat about the Uglies series you can email me at cellfonelvr@yahoo.com and

    GO SCOTT YOU ROCK!!!!!!! you are the only author who has kept me interested through out the whole series!

  311. OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I LUV THEESE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE THE AWESOMEST THINGS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! David is so cool and so is Tally.

  314. I love the wearables. (I need a sweatshirt like that)
    And the girl wearing the “The Smoke Lives” shirt looks like my friend. I’ve seen her read the books, so it could possibly be her.. Haha I doubt it though.
    Cool ๐Ÿ˜€

  320. Great post. I used to be checking continuously this weblog and I am inspired! Very useful information specifically the remaining section ๐Ÿ™‚ I maintain such info much. I used to be looking for this certain information for a very lengthy time. Thank you and best of luck.
