   Oh, that festival sounds awesome! I’m quite jealous. I suppose the Utah Fantasy/Sci-Fi Symposium (Life, the Universe, and Everything) will have to satisfy me. *le sigh*

    So why is it that authors always do big events in the states, and if they do happen to come to Canada they pretty much only go to Toronto? What about those of us out here in Edmonton? Why would authors not want to come here? Just because there’s not much to do, and there’s snow, and it’s totally freazing for over half the year… okay maybe that’s understandable. But still! It’s nice in the summer! And we have either the worlds largest or second largest mall (I really have no idea which it is, WEM was largest, then MOA was built and was larger, but then WEM did expansions to be larger, and then I stopped keeping track because it really doesn’t matter much…).
    Anyways, my point is you should come come to Edmonton because New York has awesome stuff all the time and so the awesomeness needs to be disperesed.

    oOBubblesOo, Mall of America is the biggest, I belive. I’ve been there. It puts a whole new perspective on HUGE!!!! Seriously! They have a theater, an amusement park, normal sized restraunts, and a Barnes & Nobles that’s also normal sized! As well as several other famous stores, like the Discovery Channel Store, and the Lego place. And thousands of others! It’s sooo HUGE!!!! Like, indescribable. You just have to go see for your self. You just have to. But it’s amazing!!

    Upon reading this post, I snuck a glance in the mirror and found that my face had turned green. Green, I say! And not just any kind of green. It was puke green. Maybe because I was just about to barf from being over excited that there is such an amazing event and overly disappointed that I will never be there at the same time.

    I wish I lived on the other side of the globe. (Not really, but all the awesome stuff happens there (except for the non-metric thing going on)) Do you think that if I dig far enough I’ll reach you all?

    Wow, it’s been a while since I was this late to comment, but seeing as I wasn’t allowed to use the computer yesterday (I’m sick, can’t spread the germs) it’s understandable.

    I soooooo wish I could be there. I always miss the cool stuff.

    Click my name! Especially if you don’t live in the US, I need foreign hits! (I’m competing with Orchid, and she’s totally kicking my butt right now)

    I hate where I live.
    I officially hate it more.

    (though, if I started walking now I might make it to NY by March…)

    That sounds like so much fun! I hope it goes well. (for everyone that goes [growl] and for all the authors attending.)

    What people (authors) should do is pick the most desolate state (michigancough) and hold something fun there.
    For free.
    With cool people.

    (My friend’s like ‘Michigan is not the most desolate place. Have you ever been to Wyoming or Colorodo? [I was thinking Nebraska...] so maybe like the sixth most desolate state. That’d work. OR just go to every state and CANADA and Singapore. That’s the obvious choice.)

    oOBubblesOo: I agree.

    Manga Head Explosive Goo Post (that is fun to type…)
    Drew-la: I got An Abundance of Katherines the other night because I remember Dahlia-wa saying she didn’t really care for paper towns. I’m excited. (I also got Sweethearts…they were only $5.99 so I was HAPPY)

    Forever Last, TYC Leader: I loved those songs. They were really deep, and I think Trish-la said it, but what music were you imagining going along with them?

    Next week we have spirit week, and one day is Dress up like your favorite character day! (tallycough) and another is fake an injury day (zombie!)

    Alex-wa: I’ll check out your site when I can (vastly slow computer) (same for Ashley-wa’s[ I think] youtube thing)

    Everyone have a nice day/evening!

    Alex-wa: Let me shout the obvious with you….I KNOW! IT’S VASTLY UNFAIR! SPREAD THE LOVE!! I personally live in a small town (actually outside the small town.) so it’s that much more painful. And if I devoted like, eight hours to driving, I could get to NY. I just don’t have a license… ROBIN WASSERMAN SHOULD COME TO MICHIGAN AND SAN ANTONIO!
    All done shouting.

LOL. Maybe we’ll film today, I don’t really know, because Savanna’s swim practice might be in the way. I guess I’ll have to ask her. So yeah. The trailer is nearly done! We just need like 2 more scenes, and 2 retakes (In my opinion). So yeah! And once again- I will never get tired of this- I will shout the obvious.

    COME TO SAN ANTONIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    “Cause Scott westerfeild is gonna be there.”
    “When?”
    “March 16-22, but we don’t have to be there the entire time…”
    “How much money?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “If you can get enough for a hotel, plus spening money for you, I will think about it.”

    Yet, NOTHING HAPPENS HERE.

    I live really close to New York. Super close.
    But I don’t think I can go.
    I hope I can beg my mom or dad to take me, and hopefully, a friend.

    Okay, so yesterday or whenever this was first posted I checked the blog, and at the bottom of this, it said, “no responses yet” so I started freaking out being like

    OH MY GOSH! I’M FREAKING FIRSTT!

    so I quick typed in sometime along the lines of that, and posted it, and it totally wouldn’t work! :/ it was so sad. I was like, WHY??? so then I tryed again and it wouldn’t take me comment. So I wasn’t first. instead I’m #90.

    Oh well… someday.

    ATTENTION EVERYONE!!! Orchid is going through a slight dilemma where she can’t decide what book to read next (she has many books to choose from). She’s narrowed it down to four books, which you can vote for in her latest poll. Visit http://hauntedorchid.blogspot.com to have a say in what Orchid will read next.

I got a puppy last month, she’s a cairin terrier, so cute… yet vicious her name’s Alice… yes as in cullen, my mom talked me out of renesmee but then my friend came over when we’d already decided on a name and goes ‘hmmm awesome yet evil… you should’ve named her shay’ and I got all mad because I SHOULD have named her shay even though I’m not a zane fan (but let’s not get into that again ) Zane would be a really cute name! or what about….. aww croy would be kinda cute….. fautso? (sp? ) maybe not… whenever you scream his name it might sound like fatso….

    Me: Hey, ma?
    Mom: Yeah?
    Me: It might be kind of important I go to New York…
    Mom: (confused look) Why?
    Me: Because…Scott Westerfeld is going to be there (she rolled her eyes) and Justine larbalestterrr (I can’t say it…sorry) and robin wasserman and Kate Brian!
    She just walked away.
    I’ll take it as a yes.

    Audrey-Sensei: I watched your how to study, poster mission and happy birthday mission video. They were all quite funny.

    Ashley-wa: I watched you and Keri do the Hot N Cold dance..was that the chipmunks singing that?

     Hannah-la, this post has been here a while. For some reason, the comments were messed up.
     Tally&Zane, we rescued a kitten a year ago. His name is Rousseou, after the street he was on. He is a wild cat! Like the saying goes, you can take the cat out of the wild, but you can’t take the wild out of the cat! LOL. He’s going to be a year soon. I have 3 cats now!

     I didn’t even think I’d convince my mom to go to New York, because we’re really low on money with this ecomony ressesion, but I sort of asked anyways, and she sort of just said no before I even finished. We allready have to manage going to Greece and Turkey, and the TSSUS confrence this summer. I’m going to start weekly lemonade sales to raise funds.

     February 22nd, 2009 04:02

     Okay so his name is officially Zane! But Zanie or Z for short. He’s such a sweetie! My Mom’s dog won’t go near him though! If he’s in the room she leaves. He goes outside, she runs inside. She’s so stubborn. She prolly thinks my Mom’s gonna like him better, but she won’t. Maddie(her basset hound) is like her kid. I think she loves her more than me even sometime! Not really, but she’s crazy bout her, she’s so spoiled. I named Maddie too, from The Uglies series, but I didn’t even realize I did till after, I just wanted to name her Maddie and my Mom liked the name. So yeah. But I had to wake up at like 3 am to let him out, and again at like 6:30. But I’m a light sleeper, so it’s not too bad.

     two words: not fair.

     hey guys!! it’s been soo soo long since i’ve come to say hey! how has it been going here? there’s just not enough time in the day for me to visit as often as i’d like. work and photography is to blam for that one.

     on Friday i had to read this short story in my english book about the government controlling society by handicapping people… i.e. if someone was really intelligent every time they had a smart or insightful thought a shattering noise would go off in their head to make them forget what they were thinking about. and beautiful people had to wear masks so ugly people wouldn’t feel bad, athletes had to wear weights to make it so everyones skill levels were the same; no one had special talents. it was really interesting and completely reminded me of the Uglies series.. in the aspect that government was trying to control society and that everyone was exactly the same.

     currently reading: Looking for Alaska by John Green

     what’s new with me: found this effing amazing internet radio… http://www.pandora.com it’s sweet! you just type in an artist name you like and it comes up with music by that artist and music that is like that artists. Serafina Zane you should definitely check this site out if you haven’t already! …i remember all the music fights we all use to get into on here. haha.

     so what else is new: umm.. i’ve gone crazy wanting new photography gear. i don’t think i’ll ever be satisfied, really. i just find new stuff every day and i’m always like woooooow that would change everything. my newest obsession: COLORSPACE UDMA its a memory card back up. i always run out of space on my cards when i’m out shooting and so i could just download to this and delete. Amazing is what it is. and it does a lot of other sweet stuff too.

     so i can’t decide and i need your help… i’ve began selling my photos and i can’t decide how much i should charge per cd. cuz it is kind of a long process… taking the pics, editing the pics, and then putting them on a cd. so how much would you buy a cd of pictures of you playing sports for?

     sorry for the really long comment.
     laters.

     Hey guys haven’t been here in three days or something like that. I didn’t even think about asking my mum if I could go to NY. Scott-la, come here, please. It’s *only* a sixteen hour flight. Or six, if you happen to be in Sydney. XD. No, you don’t have to.

     Maggie-la: Happy (belated) birthday. Your grandma sounds so awesome, giving you a html guide.

     Speaking of which, I need birthday gift ideas for a close friend whose birthday is in a week or two. I was thinking about compiling a disc of within temptation tour clips for her cause I just introduced the band to her and she liked it. But then I’ll probably require a heck load of CDs. Any other ideas? She fangirls Jpop (guys from JE) and Nana.

     Hey Scott, I agree with all the other people here. Stop just going to New York and go to all the other little cities in the US/Canada. *cough*and DC/metropolitan area*cough*.
     Just tell your agent or whomever, “The fans don’t want New York! They want DC/ other places!”

     “No.”
     “Are you sure?”
     “Yeah..”
     “ARe you sure you’re sure?”
     “Yes.”
     “Are you s-”
     “Okay shush up!!!”

     Okay guys, I’m in Computer App! I had a REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD morning. I missed the bus (not because I commented, trust me, that was definatly not why), and so I got really mad and ran outside to the treehouse with Maximum Ride to read, and then I discovered that Anthony had messed with my cell phone when I got it back, and it was REALLY cold when I was on the treehouse this morning… Just I had a really bad start today. But things are getting better. So yeah. *sigh*. I can’t wait for this week to be over allready. I just don’t really like school. Well, I guess it’s not that bad. School would be perfectly fine with these two exceptions: that it starts later, at like 10, and lasts till 3, And second that we get NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If those two things happened, I would love school. I wouldn’t even care if the school year had to last a little longer, because hey, we get up at 8 instead of 6 and have nothing to do when we get home but just hang!!! But anyways…

     Is Looking For Alaska good? I heard it was (I mean, it won an award…) I just finished An Abundance of Katherines, and it was hilarious and completely eye-opening.

     On a book note–if any one is looking for a good (freaking amazing) read, Sweethearts by Sara Zarr is totally emiphany making. Swear it to god. (and if that proves anything, I’m agnostic..so it’s just that good.)

     I tried reading “Audrey, Wait!” but they used the F word too much. I’m fine with minor swearing, it makes characters seem more real, but I’m not a fan of heavy swearing.

     I’ve never read Little Brother. But then, I don’t recall it ever really appealing to me.

     Has anyone else read Vladimir Tod or Bras and Broomsticks??? I just got the second VT book yesterday, but I’m going to try to finish HTDYF before I get (farther) into it.

     Hi Mr.Westerfield, okay I dont’ know if its the lack of repect of anything but I would like to call you Scott instead of sounding so formal! Anyway before I blab about unnecessary things, I would like to say that Hi, My name is Isabella (of course you can see it!) and like many kids in this country, I love your books! Especially Uglies and Peeps! I just found out you had a blog and a website so I’m kinda late but I wanted to ask who does your cover art work?! I really like the eye in the Extras’ Cover!
