If you take a look at the now musty and ancient Specials Spoiler Thread, you will find this little quote:
oh god, i read the spoiler section before i read the book. i would have read the book by now but the bookstore doesn’t have it in yet! i got the first two before the sale date. why can’t i do that now!? crap i can’t believe i read the spoiler section…crap
Ah, yes. A tragic tale of woeful tragedy. Apparently, some of us don’t have spoilage willpower. And to them I say, “Beware the evil eye!”
Because this is the official The Last Days spoiler thread, reserved for those of you who’ve already read the book. Who lives? Who dies? All will be revealed . . .
Of course, these days most discussion of my books winds up over at westerboard, where they’ve already got a Peeps/TLD Section, including a spoiler area. Rock on, westerboard, and all who run ye!
But seriously, if you haven’t read the book yet, there are plenty of other ways to waste time on the internets. Check out Kitten War or something.
(Or better yet, go buy the book.)
And now . . . let the spoilage begin!
. . . so there I was, explaining to co-workers the differences I see between a “sequel” and a “companion” book, and gesturing emphatically to the text on the cover of THE LAST DAYS.
“This, for example, says sequel,” I said as I pointed my finger to the word that caused the diatribe, “but I haven’t seen any of the original characters yet. Instead, it is narrated by five new characters who live in the same world as that set up in the first book, Peeps.”
There was a brief explanation of Peeps that assured my co-workers I was referring to an absolutely amazing book that dealt with parasites and vampires, not marshmallows and Easter.
But I digress . . .
Later, after a long day of work, after arriving home, taking care of my beautiful cat (who has golden eyes akin to those you see above) and going through the motions of life and electronic correspondence, I was able to go back to my lovely book.
Within a few pages, I saw familiar faces.
Had I just had a few more minutes of reading time before my ramble at work, I would have seen Cal, eliminating the need for said ramble.
Not really spoiling nor reviewing the book here, am I? It’s the spoiler thread, yet I don’t want to be the first to spoil people.
Ahaha it was WONDERFUL. Truly amazing.
I don’t want to spoil it either but…
Scott. I love you for knowing the slang of today’s teenagers. I literally screamed laughing when Zahler thought, ‘Nature can blow me.’
The dickhead line was also great.
And rereading that it sounds pretty perverted. But what can I say? That’s my lingo man.
Great job Scottie. I’m off to read it again. 🙂
I really enjoyed the clips from the Night Mayor. Almost as cool as all the parasite facts from Peeps. I love little blurbs like that, and so far, you Scott, are the only person I’ve found that can really do it well. So kudos.
The first line of the book “I think New York was leaking” or something to that extent set it for me right there. It made me laugh quite a bit.
My favorite character was Alana Ray. She seemed AWESOME. You never said, Scott, what exactly she had (or if you did I missed it) was it Autism or Aspergers, that was what I guessed after reading her descriptions? Anyway, awesome paint bucket playing girl. My favorite. She reminded me of Dess, for some reason.
Did anyone else flinch when the throwing the guitar was mentioned? I would have done the EXACT SAME THING! (My dad’s a guitar builder, so he’s instilled a great fear of damage to expensive musical instrument in me.)
The characters all seemed very real. From Zahler’s jealousy of Pearl’s ability, Pearl’s worry about Min. I have to say, this ALMOST beats Uglies for me. But only almost.
Great book, Scott.
sweeto cheeto, my booksellers doesnt have it in yet but im on the list of special people waiting for the worms… wait– sorry, books. (waiting for the worms is song for those of you unfortunate enough not to know who pink floyd is)
Alana Ray was my favorite charicter for three reasons.
3. The first half of her name is my name. So that was fawsome.
2. The idea of “seeing” the music was cool, and I loved it.
1. SHE WAS LIKE DESS! I miss Dess so much. Yeah, it’s pathetic, and I know I should go out and do something productive with my time. Alana Ray was much more mature than the others, probably because she was a few years older.
Wait… Now that I think about it, a lot of them have their own Midnighters character. Like Pearl reminded me of Jessica, and Moz was a lot like Rex. Especially since they both were possessed by creepy things. And wore sunglasses.
Har. Har har.
I’ll just ninja into this comment thread and look around for something to do…and wait to get fried by Scott.
ARGH!! No Last Days for me…my school library takes a while to import new books.
Har…har…har…
—elaeye
Good book, but I disliked your slang.
Fawesome book Scott, really great. I got the Peeps paperback too (never got around to buying the hardback one, got it from the library) however, it was free… actually both TLD and the Peeps paperbacks were ARCs… heh. Hope you don’t mind Scott, I’m flat broke. But I’m encouraging friends to go out and buy the books… and Uglies, and Midnighters…
Okay, so the book. TOTALLY fexcellent (liked the new slang words in Ulgies better though, fexcellent DOES sound like feculant, but fawesome is fool 😉 ) But I wanted Cal and Lace to be in it more… I knew what to expect, especially since I’m waiting for Ironside, Holly Black’s “sequel” to Tithe, and I know that’s not going to have much of the old characters in it… But I really liked Cal, and splitting the book up between five characters made it harder to get to know them quite as well as we got to know Cal, and even Lace.
THE MUSIC WAS TOTALLY FAWESOME (starting to get used to that word…) Usually when you read a book that has music in it, it’s lame. ‘Cause you can’t read sound… not really anyway, soundwaves but… whatever, you know what I mean. But in TLD, Alana Ray made it so that it was like hearing it… that was really great.
And… uh, sorry, but… did anyone else not *love* the ending? ‘Cause, really sorry Scott, but I didn’t… It just seemed to rushed, like “We did this, and this, and this…” I know that’s what an epilogue is *for* but… I don’t know. I liked the ending to Peeps better, kinda gloomy, but still pretty cool.
So overall, yeah, I liked Peeps better, but I really did love The Last Days. Finished it in a day though… totally sucky when that happens. ha.
Sweet. I think you’ve outdone yourself – So Yesterday used to be my favorite, but this was even better! For some reason, for me, the Big Riff is JerryC’s Canon. The angry Strat owner at the end was a nice touch.
*closes eyes*
not looking at the spoilage….
KITTEN WARS are addictive.
Damn you Scott, Damn YOU!!!
I liked it a lot. My friends all went crazy when I came on the first day of school and toted it around. My teacher tried to steal it (I think that might make it just a bits more awsome) and I got to tell everyone about parasites (even though there was more of that in Peeps). I agree, Alana Ray was very Dess-esque. I thought so from the time at the part where she shows up early for practice etc.
Well, I liked Peeps more (the parasites have got me, I’m reading Parsite Rex now) but TLD was fawsome. I think we’re all going to use that word a little too much now…
I think your right Scott, everyone in my school drools for your books(literally), they will scream if they saw your brand new book in the hallway, library, in classrooms, anywhere!!! I myself-want to own everyone of your books!!! That’s why I always tell them to buy your books, Im wondering what other book you have cooked up for the next screams in my town!!!!
Nine kinds of fawesome. I am aware, that these characters were close to clueless about peeps, but I still found myself missing the info-dumps.
I also read Parasite Rex directly after reading Peeps, it’s fascinating, but it doesn’t even begin to compare your descriptions and musings of the parasitic world.
Chas
I must agree that Parasite Rex can not compare. I would state why, but it is fairly graphic…
the last days is probably the most fool book i have ever read.
i course you, because i’m gonna be talking like that somuch now…but its stilll cool.
i
I bought The Last Days yesterday. I am so confused–no Hunter!–but I am sure it will come clear soon!
Why would Hunter be in TLD? That makes no sense… or maybe I’m just crazy… But I think my first guess is correct (take that Topaz Jaguar).
Here I finally am! I’m amazed that TLD didn’t come out early like Pretties and Specials did. It took me a few days to read through it, but only because my schedule was insane. TLD was amazing.
I nearly cried when the Strat died. My dad used to have one exactly like it, but he SOLD IT. AAAGGGHHH!!! He regretted it later, of course. Now he has a Strat mimic. At my job, I’m a layout designer for the school newspaper, and in honor of the Strat, I got a picture of one for one of the skyboxes. I’m in mourning for the Strat.
I totally said the word ‘fexellent’ without realizing it until afterward.
I think people have been wondering where Hunter is because I’ve seen So Yesterday, Peeps, and The Last Days called a trilogy before. I don’t really think of them as a trilogy, and TLD is definitely more of a companion than a sequel, but I think that’s where some of the confusion stems from.
I didn’t really get a Midnighters vibe from any of the characters. They all seemed separate to me. I loved them. I’m not sure who my favorite character was, but in a pinch I’d say Minerva. I love her name and I love that she was somewhat able to overcome the parasite. I still want to know where Luz came from though. Mysterious esoterica.
So I’m guessing, since you’ve started a new trilogy and the TLD epilogue pretty much wrapped things up, that this is the end of the Peeps world?
The ending was cool with me, more or less. I got the sense that, even though there wasn’t mention of the passage of time, they were significantly older at the end. They’d have to be, if they were touring all over the world killing that many worms. And it would take forever to round up all the peeps who were hiding in the middle of all that chaos. What I’m wondering is, what’s going to happen to all those poor peep cats? I bet the Night Watch was going around exterminating them. *sniff* Or maybe they came up with a cat vaccine! Yes, that’ll work.
Great book. I loved it. Can’t wait for more. I guess (for good reason) it’ll be a while before more Scott books come out. I s’pose this will be a good excuse for me to round up some of your SF books.
😀
Topaz–I think you mean Cal. Hunter was in So Yesterday. Don’t worry, I mixed up their names once or twice myself. Probably because they’re so alike in their geekiness (and I love them both for it so much).
I just finished The Last Days, like minutes ago, I had to come straight here and talk about it.
I felt a little sorry for Zahler, did anyone else? It just seemed like he always got the short stick. He even got called a simpleton, which isn’t really fair. Okay, he’s a little dim, but he’s still just a teen. I did like him a lot though.
Like everyone else so far, Alana Ray is my favorite character. She’s just so cool, and makes some pretty witty comments. I personally liked the carbonated vs. hyphenated thing.
The book was pretty good, not Peep good I must admit, but I think I’m just really missing the parasite chapters. Guess I’ll have to look to Parasite Rex for that, eh?
Overall, it was fexcellent. And you always write such great slang, because it seems that just after I read it I simply have to use it in my everyday language. A lot. So, fool, fexcellent, and fawesome are now part of my vocabulary. And the slang from Uglies is permanently in there, because that was totally fool.
(look for a review on my blog for Homer Teens sometime this weekend, it’ll be a very positive one–just click the link)
So Yesterday, Peeps and The Last Days are sometimes thought of as a trilogy? Whoa… um, that’s strange. So Yesterday is my favorite book of all time (with Peeps as a close second), but I would never connect the two. To think of Hunter dying in a vampire apocalypse is too sad. I even brought my ARC copy of So Yesterday to NY and read it there, hoping it would be better if read in New York. Personally, I think it was just as good here in the Pacific NW. Though I did scare my cousins when I walked around reading (a trecherous thing…) and started laughing. Just for that NY made it better (for one second).
Today I was working with a partner at school and my Scott Westerfeld-induced vocabulary slipped out. Calling the sudden understanding of a math problem ‘fool’ and ‘totally fawesome’ is all but fexcellent. Especially if you despise your partner.
[quote]To think of Hunter dying in a vampire apocalypse is too sad.[/quote]
Oh my god, I didn’t even think of that! Now I’m going to cry whenever I read So Yesterday. Not really, but you know… Maybe if a worm ate hime, it would get sick from his purple hands.
Hmmm… purple hands that kill giant worms, eh? It just might work (or so I hope if Hunter is to meet his end in the vampire apocalypse while he still has purple hands).
The Last Days was an ok book but I liked Peeps much better. I guess I just missed Cal and Lace. I just didn’t connect with any of the characters as much as with Scott’s other books. Pearl seemed ok but I was sad she didnt end up with Moz, Minerva made me think of Harry Potter’s professor and I just couldnt get that image out of my head, Moz was annyoing until he became a peep, Zahler was cool but seemed to fade away later, Alana Ray was really fool though. She had a little bit of a Dess vibe to her. I’m gonna start saying fool, fawesome, and fexellent all the time now. I really am. I did notice at the end you mentioned the Strat owner in a town near tulsa… could that be Bixby? 😉 The ending pretty much spoke for itself. The world of Peeps is no more but it went out on a great farewell tour.
I did notice at the end you mentioned the Strat owner in a town near tulsa… could that be Bixby?
Heh, heh. I’m glad someone noticed.
Loved the book!!! I especially loved how you had band names as the chapters…ididnt really get it until I saw “The Replacements” I was reading it and I’m like isnt that already a band? Also love That you have a West Chester band. That’s where I’m from! woot haha
Swell book, Scott. 🙂 Wow. That sounded nice. Oh, believe me. I’m saying it verbally. You just can’t see it… wait… hear it. Hmm.
ANYhow… the book was good. I got questions for those few days I read it in school.
I nearly died waiting for my copt of The Last Days to come from the online bookstore. It got delayed too, so I cried. But I ordered Blue Noon with it-and Blue Noon came on time :3
But the sad thing was I finished both books in a day.
But I loved The Last Days, I’ve already killed my grammar-spelling nazi friends with ‘fawesome’ and ‘fool.’
Dess was my all-time favorite character in the Midnighters series, I didn’t connect her to much to Alana Ray though. I really liked Minerva! She’s one of the most original characters I’ve read in a while, and she totally satisfied my reading binge . . .
A week and a half before the arrival of The Last Days, I was looking at Halloween candy and spotted marshmallow gold-Peeps Spooky Cats. I got some, and they have given my friends and I new meaning in life. xD
Anywho, the Last Days rocked my socks here and back again, and I sapped it up like sponge. Thanks for the great reads-I love all your books!
Whoah, my cat has Peep-ish eyes . . .
I noticed the possibly-Bixby thing, too! I thought that I was just crazy, had read it wrong or something, but I know now that I was one of possibly many (but probably few) who noticed!! YAY!
Oh, and I liked Moz the most. Because he reminded me of this guy named Paul. Yeah. I think I identified with Moz the most. hahaha.
Moz reminded me of this guy named Patrick… sort of. In ways they were opposites, but they were the same, too. I’m glad that there are not any Last Days character look-alikes at my school… that would be uncannily strange.
I just finished the Last Days! I LOVED IT. The first thing I was going to mention was the Bixby reference, but apparently someone else beat me to it.
I saw the line “we were in this town outside of Tulsa,” and thought it was going to continue with “and something REALLY weird happened!” (Bring in darklings and midnighters here.)
I didn’t really connect Alanna Ray with Dess. Like, not at all. They are completely different characters. What disorder did Alanna Ray have?
I liked Minerva the best. But as someone above me mentioned, I didn’t feel as connected with the characters because the narrator kept switching. TLD was more based on the band as a whole than individual characters, so I thought the changing of POV worked well.
When I was reading, I got this crazy idea that maybe Peeps/TLD is connected with Uglies! Like – they were all lied to about the oil explosions, and the end of the world was really because of the epidemic in TLD.
I think my imagination went haywire.
Anyways, I think I am going to start an entire new section over on westerboard for TLD. That way people can stat different topics and stuff.
All in all – I LOVED the book! Couldn’t put it down!
Ha ha, I was another one of the people who caught the Bixby thing. It’s sad, as soon as I saw the “small town outside Tulsa” quote, my mind started reeling…
“Gasp! Could it be Bixby? Is Dess at that concert?? Could she be a Peep? Nothing is more awesome then a Vampire Polymath…”
Anyway, The Last Days was fawesome. I really want to re-read it again, but currently a majority of all my Scott books are on loan to my friend. I converted her into another Westerfeld fan, lol.
PS – I edited Westerboard so that the entire spoiler section for The Last Days can be found here:
http://www.westerboard.com/viewforum.php?f=18
Oops–What am I saying about Hunter? I meant Cal. And I finished it today! Hooray! I didn’t like it as much as Peeps, though…It was still good 🙂
Michelle -Wa, I thought the exact same thing this morning about TLD/Uglies. I think the we’re right.
In the back of the book, I was reading something about a Midnighters /sequence/…
Does this have any certian meaning?
A sequence is a series of books (usually three, from what I’ve seen) that was too cool to just be called ‘series’ or ‘trilogy’. Doesn’t ‘The Echorium Sequence’ sound better than ‘The Echorium Trilogy’ or ‘series’? Actually, I’m probably completely wrong because I don’t really know what I’m talking about. (Though Midnighters is way too cool to just be called ‘series’ or ‘trilogy’.)
I really liked the band thing to… it was a kind of Deja Vu thing because after i finished TLD
sorry about that last message… my sister had to go and ruin the computer… i had a fawsome message going… i blame her for everything that goes bad… any way i only have time to rewrite some of it so im gonna ask one question … at the end they said somthing about Moz and Pearl got kinda close … Did She KISS him???? the sentence was “Pearl’s fingers wrapped gently around my arm and drew me closer.” Well?
😉
well? what do you think
yeah this book was fawesome!!!! weeee, i liked the part in the epilogue about Cal Thompsons books that was pretty cool. The whole angel thing was awesome-i was wondering how they were gonna fight the worms, and the whole ninja suit swords thing was awesome. I thought it was pretty cool seeing Cal ramble from someone elses point of view. And for the new characters i liked Zahler and Alana Ray the best because they were pretty damn cool.
And yeah did Pearl kiss Moz or did she just like touch his arm just for fun or something lol, i thought Moz was with Minerva in the epilogue, yeah that last bit was a little bit confusing.
cover:
pro-i like that you can see stray hairs in her face. makes her look wild
con-how come only her thembnail is long…
Only her thumbnail is long because it’s just cool that way — or maybe because she is nail-clipper deficient like moi. oui, I think I am right (but I always think that, so it isn’t saying much)
I didn’t like the Last Days much–I mean I LIKED it but it wasn’t the same as reading Peeps or something. TLD just didn’t have the same non-stop, problem-solving action. Or maybe I was just really stressed while reading it and that ruined its awesome-ness (or fawesome-ness). Aw, well, maybe I should go re-read it…
-Topaz
i like her weird fingernail! I really like how her eyes are too…
capt. cockatiel
your probably right
it must be one of those things she fears…NAIL CLIPPERS!!!
and like how i spelt thumbnail…ah i can’t spell!!!
Yeah, maybe she used to be a nail-clipping fanatic before her peep-yness kicked in and then she threw her nail clippers out the window and someone was like “NO! THOSE ARE 1984 SILVER PLATED NAIL CLIPPERS!!” and they caught them in a napkin and then ran away. It’s a whole new story, like the alternate world of Moz, Pearl and the Strat. It’s really-strange-nail-clipping-person, napkin, and the nail clippers. (I just noticed that I typed 1984 as a random date and that maybe Big Brother made the silver plated nail clippers…)
Is it weird that I didn’t like Min?
I liked Pearl. A lot.
But of course she didn’t get Moz.
Sad.
Oh man.
I need to stop picking favorites out of the girls who never get the guys.
Enough is enough.
But!
Grrreat book anyway, even if the ending was a bit unsatisfactory (i.e. There was me, reading it, thinking, “Pleasegodpleasegodohpleaseletthatarmtouchleadtosomethingmore.”)
So.
Yes.
Wonderful job, Scott.
Simply fantastical.
i *finally* finished this morning. first barnes&noble.com took ages and ages to get it to me, and then…well, i actually got the book just a few days after my husband got home from iraq, and then we went on vacation..i honestly can’t believe it took me more than a week to read a westerbook!!
okay. (deep breath) rant over. 😉
fantastic book. i love all your books, scott, and there are so many things about them to love…but i think my favorite is how you pay such attention to the tiny things. having bands called “morgan’s army” and “toxoplasma”, or “it happened in a small town outside tulsa”…it’s like finding a present tucked away in the pages, a gift to your fans. so..thanks. 🙂
i nearly cried when moz smashed the strat. i actually did yell out in a semi-strangled voice, and my husband yelled back, “what?” in a concerned sort of way. it was cool to see the anathema take hold of moz, though, from his own point of view. we’ve heard about it before, but not in a personal way. “my vision had been doing weird things all day: i hadn’t been able to look at min, as if her face were made of sharp angles that cut into my eyes.” way cool.
that’s all for now, i guess. i love alana ray, it’s magical how she can see the music. oh, and i too wondered about the “midnighters sequence” thing, if there’s any significance to that. i really would love love love more midnighters books…
capt. cockatiel
tehe
sounds like a good story to me
i’m sure there are millions of cults dedicated to the worshipness of NAIL CLIPPERS!!!
Imagine the moz equivilant… i see him wearing really thick glasses as he catches the nail clippers, poor moz quivilant…
Yes, thick glasses. He’d probably be carrying a copy of 1984 (most likely the 1st edition, what a geek). But who would take Pearl’s place? It can’t just be the napkin… it would probably be some teenage part-time librarian who is also nail-clipping-obsessed and just happened to have a napkin. This girl would also be wearing an “I *heart* George Orwell” T-shirt. It would have a picture of George Orwell’s face, too (that’s actually really funny, but if you don’t know who George Orwell is, it looses the comedy and sounds rather dull).
man…can’t read it until it’s out in the local libraries!
that sucks…
plus when i do get it,
my parents will probably sue me because of the cover….
they’re always like- You’re too young to be reading taht crap!
and i’m like- scott westerfeld’s books are NOT crap! theyre the best books i’ve ever read!
my parents- that’s what u always say..
me- ….
Ok well I’ll start out with being uncreative and just copying what I worte at westerboard:
I loved The Last Days. It was particularily fun becuase I haven’t read Peeps in over two months which mean I was a little vauge on details, so it took me a moment to go, Oh THAT’S why she’s throwing stuff out the window. I didn’t get it till Pearl went to Minerva’s for the first time. I was slightly horrified with myself but it was a fun feelign to remember. Same sort of thing at the concert when I got Morgan’s Army and Toxoplasma(which I got a first mention, Morgan’s Army not till that scene but stright away in it). Anyway those things where great. I also looved the Night Mayor Files.
Now more written NOW: Probably one of my favourite things about TLD was the change of precpetives. Although there were times when I’d be reading and think “oh I want to know what THIS person is thinkign now as well” but it was great becuase it gave all levels of perspectives on the epidemic, excpet perhaps compeltely uncured peep. Becuase while the garlic thing is totally fool, it stops Min and Moz fro melttign us see full blown out peep. But I guess that would be a bit crazy. Anyways so Il voed havign all the different characters. I conected the msot with Pearl and Min was my favourite.
So my sister and i were just listening to music by Evanescence and we were thinking that maybe Evanescence is a example of Minerva???
????????????
So Scott r u gonna answer my sis, DID PERL AND MOZ HAV SUMTIN THERE. And when Cal was in that creepy house and lace put of all the car alarms in Peeps, did you puposly make Minerva’s house sound just as creepy. You did the same thing with the darkling house. Its fool. Did any one else notice that. Capt.Cocktiel, that 1984 nail clippers part was kind of funny. TLD was one of the best books i ever read. And Scott im still cyin over jessica in Midnighters. Back to TLD my fav character was Minerva. She is so creepy but sounds real cool. Pearl is sort of like me in some wierd reason. Maybe its because she liks Moz but if they do have sumpthin in the end tell us. Scott you started your own slang now cause im always sayin That was fool or fawsome or dizzy-making. Keep them good books comin. If u ever stopped writting these good books i think id cry.
Thank you, Katie. I’m glad that someone appreciated my 1984 nailclippers. I talk about them all the time and no one understands. Oh well.
hey katies sis thought it was funny tooooo !!!!!!!!! lol lol lol lol (non of our friends understand it though… wouldnt it be cool if the nail clippers had diamonds too???fawsome)
I don’t think that Big Brother would alow diamonds on the nailclippers — all about making people poor and grungy and stuff. Nope, diamonds would be cool, but BB would bust the owner. (aaah! The telescreen saw my nailclippers!!)
Has anyone else read 1984 by George Orwell?? I dislike it oh so much, but it makes people sound smart and cool. I much prefer The Catcher in the Rye. Maybe Holden found the nailclippers…
So Scott r u gonna answer my sis, DID PERL AND MOZ HAV SUMTIN THERE?
Moz and Minerva are still together at the end. What happens in the last scene of the book is Pearl showing Moz that she has “forgiven” him for hooking up w/Minerva. (In other words, they’re friends again.)
Okay, that is so wierd… The “new sound” from TLD is almost exactly like the kind of music me and my friends are always trying for. At least from what I can tell. Exept that my singing has never called up giant worms, lol, at least not yet. Hey Scott, are there any bands you know of that sound like The Last Days and Morgan’s Army(which by the way is the coolest band name in the WORLD)? I love everything about it, and I can only find a few songs that sound like what I imagine it as being.
I really don’t get this whole comparing Alana Ray to Dess thing. Pearl reminds me a lot more of Dess, only a musical genious instead of a math one. And my favourite character is definitely Minerva(Moz comes in second).
Yea wherever that Alana Ray and Dess thing came from is beyond me. I liked Dess, and I liked Alana Ray, But i would never compare them. They are nothing alike. Maybe exept for the fact that they both knew what was going on before every one else. There is definately no polymath thing going on with Alana Ray and I dont think Dess played drums. So theres my opinion. And capt. cockatiel I loved your nail clippers reference. Scott Might have to right another book. I want a pair of those. Espeacially if they have diamonds on it. When it comes to nail clippers with diamonds who cares about big brother. They should have spects of gold. Kind of like the ‘Pretties’ eyes in the Uglies trilogy. That would be awsome.
Hey, was Luz a carrier of the parasite? It would explain how she knew so much about it, and why she seemed young but dressed in old-fashioned dresses. She could have been a hundred years old, and she probably didn’t know any of the scientific details about the parasite, or have any contact with the night watch. Anyone else think so?
Am I the only one who would totally listen to a band called “The Desk”? That is only, like, a ten on the duditude scale of eleven. Seriously, how would someone think of such a cool band name?
thanks Scott iv been waitin since i ead that book 4 the answer. By the way were do u get ur ideas their so fawsome.
* read * i cant spell either
Just for all of those people who do not understand the Alana Ray/Dess comparison: It is mostly because they are both smart and ‘know’ things. Like Alan Ray was allways doing her little paint bucket math, and Dess was always doing her… multiples of 13 math. They were both just the smart-type, so that is why they are alike.Live with it, people.
o.k now i get it. Alana Ray wasnt really my favorite character though. Dess was pretty cool, but we’re not talking about midnighters. I liked Moz and Minerva they were cool and they were and became peeps. I like all that peep action. I missed it in TLD a bit. I sorta liked all the mean crazy half maniac stuff. The window smashings pretty cool. I just wish i could go crazy like that and get away with it too…
Okay, I didn’t read all the comments, just scrolled through, but there was a sad lack of Zahler love in them. So I must say that I LOVED Zahler. He was like the glue no one noticed, and I thoroughly enjoyed his lingo and attitude. I wish Pearl had liked Zahler, I sure as heck would have.
Hey scott are you writting an other book yet. cuz i cant wait till an other one comes out.
Sarah– i liked zahler to you dont just not like a caharacter in scott westerfeld books… but he wasnt as exiting to me… i liked the peep action… and he really wasnt that close to it… Alaina Ray could see the wormy thingy… and Pearls best friend Minerva was a peep… but Zahler wasnt near it all… thats y i dont talk about him much
ok so i havent read “the last days” yet but if it based on diffrent group of characters instead of cal and lace? and is this the last book or is there another?
im not tellin it more fun to read it and find out for yourself… its for your own good
man. can oyu at least tell me if its based on teh same characters and if not if they atleast apear in the book?
they appear buts thats not who its based on read the cover
did the come up for a name for their band or not or did i just miss it?
Omg i just read the last days and i loved it! as usuall scott you are an excelent author. And yes thier band name did come up it was in teh second to last chapter i belive “the killers.” it comes up near the end of teh chapter in italic print.
capt.cocktiel, your always writing about Big Brother, i can honestly say i dont know what that is or how it relates to TLD
Michelle, I thought that their name for the band was The Last Days. The Killers is already a band.
“They knew our name too, thanks to Pearl, who’d finally come up with the three perfect words to describe us. Even if it is a stupid plural. I mean, it doesn’t really make sense without the s at the end.
The Last Day? Come on. That’s as bad as The Desk.”
So yeah. That implys their name is The Last Days.
Oh yeah, in Peeps didn’t it say that peeps always have long, black fingernails. I thought it was weird that only one was long. I guess that Min didn’t run away and live with rats and eat other humans like other Peeps though. yeah, Min was special. Not like from Special Circumstances though, just special and different and cool. I’ll stop now.
Ok one more thing. Do peeps all have red/orange eyes, or do they have all different colors, like on your banner thing-majigy up there.
Katie, I’m always talking about BB (Big Brother) because I think in the “Last Days OUT NOW!” comments we had this story going about silver-plated, Big Brother manufactured 1984 nail clippers that were thrown out the window by Minerva (aka girl on cover of TLD) and that is why her thumb nail is so long. Go check it out. It’s in there somewhere.
Actually, sorry. It’s up here. On this comments part. And Big Brother is involved because the nail clippers were manufactured in 1984. As in, 1984 by George Orwell — you know, ugly, classic book about Winston Smith? It’s got nothing to do with TLD at all.
I know I’m a little slow to have read it, but I got the book for Christmas 🙂
I love the chapter titles especially… I didn’t pay much attention to the titles, but I caught New Order and started wondering if that’s what you could be doing, then I forgot until I saw The Cure… which was the last chapter, so a little slow but oh well
My english teacher loved the chapter titles. He was in a band…
I had to wait for Christmas too! Well now I’ve finally read it, and I loved it! I love the whole New York scene and the characters. My favorites were Moz, Zahler,and Pearl. But all the raw meat and garlic made me sick. Yeah and I didn’t understand the ending until Scott clarified,and dang it, I thought there was something there.
I really loved the PEEPs though, probaly because it was a little easier for me to understand( had to look at google constantly to understand the music terminology), and you’ve got to love lace! But I thought too many people had dark hair so I made Lace a blonde(don’t hate me!).
I wonder where they get these people to pose for the books(they’re photos right)? And I liked the ending because unlike the Midnighters, The last Days, didn’t make me depressed for weeks and listen to Magwai’s “Take me somewhere nice”. And I really like the whole Vampire scene( I’m a sucker for Twilight). The people were hot, the music was Fool( I bet the Last Days’s cd is crazy good) and both books overall, were freakin’ FAWESOME!
The best think about TLD and Peeps is that anything vampire makes me feel all bubbly. And, after awhile, you get a little bored of the unscientific basisis (sp?) of other books and, believe it or not, the shooty shooty vampire/zombie movies we all know and (I) love. So peeps and, now, TLD, is a refreshing breather from the “don’t-question-it-we-just-drink-blood-and-live-forever” plots of every other vampire novel in the world.
Needless to say, the Last Days (TLD) was fawesome…as most things deserving a short group of initials that one can use around other fellow Westerfeldians while everyone else looks at you like you’re completely nuts does (much like saying ‘stfu’ or ‘lmao’ around your fellow online geeks for the sole purpose of not getting yelled at for “swearing” in school).
I greatly missed what Minerva described as Cal’s “parasite-geek lecture”, and Cal in general (favorite Westerfeld character? maybe next to Zahler and Dess). Am I the only one that didn’t see a shocking simularity between Alana Ray and Dess? Maybe it had something to do with reading TLD before Midnighters…Idk…
Thank you thank you thank you for writing a sequal to Peeps! After peeps i had been driving my parents crazy with “ooh please please can I have a pet tape-worm?”. Now I’m constantly wishing for a pet demon-worm to kill my enemies. Or a cat, so I can be a peep (my dad’s allergic. Damnit).
Kailyx, I read TLD after The Midnighters, and I still don’t get the shocking similarity between Alana Ray and Dess(They both can see patterns, or can detect when a worm or darkling coming?, They’re both sort of outsiders to the rest of the gangs?, I don’t know). And I still don’t get the whole Bixby thing. What is that saying, that all of Scott’s series are linked by bixby or something?
I Just finished the Last Stand. it was really cool. I am starting to get creeped out though, cause my cat has always slept on my chest at night, and when i wake up i keep remembering the peep cats. ( if i get turned into a peep by my cat, i really hope that i will be a carrier!)
i finished it on my B-day(Feb 5) and my mommy took me to lunch out. I totally disgusted her out though, cause the whole time i talked about the parasites and peeps. That was really interesting. i wish that i could have learned about things like that in Biology, and maybe i would have gotten higher than a “B”.
Ohhh yeah! i am getting a new kitten soon and need some help with names. Any suggestions? It has to either be fexcelent or totally wrong! So make it fexcelent!
i just now finished TLD. it was totally fexcellent. i was a little confused about couple status in the end– moz and min together or not? and what about pearl. but otherwise it was great. and the teens talked like teens, which is perfect.
What’s the kitty’s gender Tally? And Lauraloo, Scott said posted that Moz and Minerva are still together. Scott said that Pearl’s hand gesture was her forgiveness of Moz for going w/ Minerva, Moz and Pearl are just friends.
kitty is a girl.
I am reading the Iliad and the Odyssey right now( love reading about Troy), and i just found out that the roman name for the goddess Athena is Minerva. Athena is the goddess of war, and in the Last Days Minerva kind of helps with the Peep war against the worms of the underworld with her singing. isnt that fool? i am such a Troy and Scott westerfeld nerd!
Well since the kitty is a girl, why not Minerva, Lace, or Pearl,(or is that too obvious). Um, I’m not really sure on made up names; Stratella, drum stick, patterns, lillac, cure,moral, saphire(I don’t know/ most of these names might be totally wrong.) And the whole Athena/Minerva discovery is fawesome; would have never guessed. Oh and I loved the Odyssey.
i kinda like Minerva, i was pondering that 2, and morals kinda fool. ummmmmm…… did Cal’s cat actually have a name cause i totally cant remember him ever saying it. if it does, then whats that one?
Cal’s cat’s name is Cornelius, but I don’t think that sounds too female friendly. And I don’t know if you’d want to name her after Minerva’s cat, Zombie, would you?
OOh Cornelius thats right! no not zombie. (Cornelia maybe?) and i think i kinda like paranormal(Para for short), how would that sound?
……here Para kitty…….
Demensiona- about the joining of books- i didnt take the last stand as the end of the world only the end of that outbreak. I think that there will be another underground worm invasion and that somehow the midnighters will help the peeps fight them off. ( or maybe the worms are midnighters too, but bad. Maybe they are like darklings that are sooo old that they can roam in the day and during the midnight hour. maybe the midnighters will help the next worm war by fighting at midnight.) But…. maybe they dont succeed and the Uglies, Rusties, falls into place their.
I dont know if that makes since but thats what i think!
Oh now Cornelia sounds cute, and paranormal is fawesome. And I think Para sounds different depending on the way that you say paranormal( Pair-a or par-ra?).
Oh my gosh Tally, I think you’ve got it! What if the worms ARE darklings because in peeps, they said that they’re really old, and I would think that a huge worm would be somebody’s nightmare(darklings). And maybe they DON”T succeed, like you said, and uglies DOES fall into place(but these PEOPLE aren’t rusties), fawesome. I’m getting this feeling that uglieville is in Bixby oklahoma. Wouldn’t it be fool/wierd if Jessica(Midnighters) was Tally?(But I don’t think that would work because Jessica, by now, would be older than 16.). I don’t know, it would’ve been a cool thought. Just seeing the words in extras ,SAID JESSICA, would be fawesome. Oh and what’s w/ the whole stratocaster thing and bixby, does Dess or someone else play the guitar or like The Last Days?
Wow i didnt even think about Jessica actually being Tally, that would be a fool twist. It would be fool to think who else could be a midnighter. like Shay. i would love for Shay to be a midnighter, with a new talent/power.
i dont think that Dess plays the guitar. and what exactly is the stratocaster thing? am i missing something?(know what a stratocaster is not sure what ur asking)
You’re right Tally,anyone could be a midnighter. And what if the leisons were used to make you forget your midnighter talent, and what if Uglies are called “Ugly” because they’re different BECAUSE they have supernatural talents. I don’t know, just another thought. Oh and the whole stratocaster thing(that I didn’t ketch) was that there was a person who owned a stratocaster in a town near Tulsa; being Bixby, Oklahoma. And if you view earlier comments posted, Scott replied to the person who brought it up as, “Heh, Heh. I’m glad someone noticed.” Sounds suspicious enough to me.(that there might be a connection(s) between the series). Though I kind of hope that we’re not TOO right because I don’t want to spoil what my happen for others, or for ourselves.
yeah dont want to spoil it either. i get what ur saying about the stratocaster thing now. and yeah i think u could be right and the leisons are for forgetting ur a midnighter.
Fool
Well now I know, that Uglies takes place where seattle used to be, so I guess that Uglies must not take place in Bixby. But there still might be a deeper connection(s) between Uglies, Last Days, and Midnighters. And thanks Tally, I think that the whole leison thing would be pretty fool too.
oh yeah I forgot that it took place in the seattle location. (well now we know we couldnt have guessed everything.)
Yes Tally, now we know.
Sorry Scott, I’m reading this series AFTER I finish Midnighters (on the last book). I’ve read Uglies, too. Hope this is just as good! 🙂
Enjoy Blue Noon as long as you can Joanna. Oh and don’t worry, I read the books in the same exact order as you did. Peeps/Lastdays is fawesome, but I don’t think you can really compare it w/ Uglies(Peeps is set in a completly different atmosphere). Enjoy!
I loved the book. Towards the end it didn’t seem like it was actually going to be able to close up and everything and I thought there might be another one, but you tied up all the loose ends pretty darn well.
The time I can’t figure out thought. In Peeps it seemed sort of…modern day? Like now…? But Cal says he’s like a century old in TLD except their NY doesn’t seem much different than ours…well their names do.
Sort of on/off there.
Once again, loved it!
When does Cal say he’s a hundred? I can’t find it, even searching the electronic version. TLD is happening at almost the same time as PEEPS.
I interpreted the part wrong where he says something like “we’ve been fighting this thing for centuries” I thought he was referring to himself, but he was talking about the Night Watch. Riiight. he he. Thanks for clearing that up!
I just finished the book today. I agree with some people, I liked Peeps way better, but it was still really good. It was one of those books you just couldn’t out down.But I didnt get what really happened to Cal and Lace, how much time did pass between these two books?
Nevermind i just read what you wrote, it happened almost the same time.
okay, rainy, cal doesnt say that HES 100, he says that the shrink and the night mayor are
i agree with savannah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HES NOT 100!!!
yeah, but thats besides the point. The point is that I totally love this book and Zahler kicks major butt!!! I love him!
HECK YES!!! I LOVE ZAHLER!!! HES SO FRICKING FOOL!!!!!!!
I love all the character though, Like Alana Ray, I love how shes so logical. Everything is totally straight forward with her! She has that kind of “dess” ish thing where shes all into the math. And I love the thing with Pearl liking Mozz, Mozz liking Min, Min liking Mozz, And Zahler like Pearl. Its totally Mid-summer nights dream.
“oh Lysander,” ha ha, oh I love Shakespeare. Yeah I never really made that connection, that’s fool. Hey believe it or not, but these days, stories/books like Midsummer Nights Dream and Peeps/last days, seem like the simplest love affairs. I love them for that, gives you a break.
And Zahler is definetly fawesome, I don’t know how TLD would’ve suvived w/o him. My favorite comic relief.
Yeah, Zahler reminds me a whole lot of Dess. He seems to be totally alone compared to the rest of the group, and yet some how it seems like hes holding the whole group together. Between Min and Moz’s PEEP-ness, Alana Ray’s craziness and Pearl’s going crazy over Moz and Min moving in together, he seems to be the only sane one there. And they both seem to be taken for granted
Oh Demenisiona, forgot to ask you this in the last comment, Do you have a username on the westerboard? Cause Id like to know it if you do.
Um it’s just Demensiona/ how original. I’ll start posting, cause I’ve haven’t posted anything yet. Do you have one Savannah?
yeah, its delectability. A tridecalogism. hehe.
peeps was awesome loved it!! highly recommended
That’s fool Savannah, noted. And yep hannah,peeps was definetly fawsome!
To Demensiona and Tally who posted somewhat above:There is a possibility the blue time is everywhere now, so even though Uglies is in Seattle, Shay or Tally or whoever could still be a Midnighter!!!
Hm really IndigoEyes?! You’re right, that would be so fawesome! But do you think, if you read midnighters, that jessica could be Tally?
Wow thats so cool. i didnt think about the blue time being everywhere. so our evil plot is working out! More books…….. i love it…
lol if only it were that simple!
Wow Tally, you’re back!! Thanks to IndigoEyes, our evil plot is back in action! Yeah I totally forgot that the blue time spread EVERYWHERE! Oh and I just thought back to this:
Jessica Day was “15”, and Tally was too but later, as you know, she turned “16”! And what if by some crazy chance, DESS got stuck in the Dimension too and she was SHAY, because Dess was “15” too!(but I don’t know if Jess and Dess shared the same birthday)! Hey maybe we’re writing complete fan fiction, but that would be Fawesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MORE BOOKS! Yeah that would be totally fool, but maybe its easier than we think. But if not, we’re totally writing a THICK novel, connecting the 3 series!
But then again I recently thought about things that might dissapprove our theories:
(1). I kind of doubt that Dess would ever be as vicious as Shay was, but then again what if Shay never remembered who DESS was due to the leisons that we talked about?
(2). And then there’s the fact that Tally was BORN from her parents and remembered certain things in her childhood. But were they really HER parents, and was that really her childhood?Who knows(though Tally DOES have brown hair and Jess has red).
-Anyways, all I know is that if feel SOME connection between the all the series/or at least hope for at least one. Whether that be just that uglies have midnighter talents, or Jess is flying solo(Shay just might be Shay). But who knows, we can dream, can’t we? Ha,ha, dream big!
lol yes probably too big of a dream, but hey it cant hurt us. But i think that ur #1 problem that would dissprove our theory really isnt much of a problem at all. i mean i think that the leisons would totally make shay forget about Dess, i mean shay really wasnt that evil until she got the operation.
and it would make since that “Shay” would be jealous of Tally and David at first, i mean Dess was always the loner right? maybe she remembered a little of that and went crazy trying not to be that same loner she once was.(Dess)
ur #2 problem might be a REAL problem, but yeah maybe they arent really her parents…..but i dont know!
You know, you’re right Tally, I tend to forget SHAY before Shay-la. And I was kinda thinking of the loner feeling too, but I wasn’t sure. But now it sounds about right.But do you think that Dess and Jessica shared the same birthday?Then again that was never clarified in midnighters.
And yeah, problem number 2 might be a physical problem but who knows as you said, Scott really didn’t get into TOO much detail w/ the littlies and I forgot what the parents are called, so who knows!
Yeah but I do really think that the series’ are connected because I found on a earlier midnighter spoiler post from Scott, he said that:”After all, she only ages one hour every day,so she can easily live for another 300 years and then hang out w/ Tally!” Now what do you think that enthusiasm was intended for, hmm?
he he…. wow! did scott actually say that? Maybe our theory really could work. But of course it would be a litte hard for Jessica to hang out with Tally if she was Tally, but…….. you just need to read into what he is saying a little right. I mean he couldnt just come right out and say that Jess was really Tally now could he! lol
Did you mean Dess and Shay or Tally and Jessica about the birthday thing?
or did you really mean Dess and Jess? cause i dont remember their birthdays being the same.
WOW! there are alot of names that ryme there lol!
Ha, ha, yes Tally, Scott DID say that!! And I believe our theory will totally work, or at least some parts! And you’re right, Scott couldn’t just say that Jess was really Tally, oh how FAWESOME!
Oh and on the whole birthday thing(sorry if I didn’t clarify). I was refering to Jessica and Desdemona. In Uglies remember that Tally and Shay had the same birthday(that was a pretty significant part in the book). So I’m not sure if Jessica and Dess in midnighters had the same birthday,because it was never said in midnighters.
And yes there ARE alot of rhyming names, sometimes I verbally confuse myself!
And again what was our theory for the connection to Peeps/Last days? Was it the whole end of the world bit then Uglies like 300 years later? Or the worms are a form of darklings(worms/ fears of the past)? Did I mention how Freaking FAWESOME THIS IS?!!!
lol!!
Demensiona-
yes the worms are a form of darkling and the worms eventually begin to come out of the ground during the midnight hour. the midnighters dont succeed in helping the Peeps destroy them and the civilization is destroyed basically. Thus about 300 years later the Uglies is brought about, and we have the Rusties.
To destroy the Darklings/Worms forever we will need SPECIALS,PEEPS, and MIDNIGHTERS reunited to fight 2gether. ( maybe the worms were another reason for the leisons being created.) lol my mind has so many thoughts about this!!
i got ya now about the Dess and Jess birthday thing. for some odd reason i am thinking that they refrenced Jess being younger. but i dont exactly remember.
Okay Tally! let’s get this straight first , this the order we agreed to right? Midnighters, Peeps, Uglies?
Yeah now I’m starting to remember, those worms have like exsisted forever so they’re definetely some form of darklings. And in midnighters there was this conflict w/ oil(I think in Peeps too), which lead to this oil eating bacteria that destroyed everything, then there’s 300 years later, and we have uglies!
And yeah back to the leisons, the uglie’s world probably confiscated all magazine’s that talked about darklings and or the leisons probably erased their memory. As if darklings were dinosaurs or something. Interesting!
Oh and for the birthday bit, Jess and Dess are the same age, but Jessica DOES seem younger in months. Hmm, I’ll have to look back on the midnighters series and see if I can find something.
I just finished reading TLD and really liked it, but not as much as Peeps, which is cooler (even if nobody got the ‘not its not about marshmallows’ joke) It would be cooler if Cal/Lace appeared earlier and did some explaining, not just appearing w/ angels like a deus ex machina. also, multiple viewpoints are cool (the risen empire), but not all in the first person. ( i had to keep flicking back to the chapter heading to remember who the narrator was this time)
and not enough about the plagues. And i had heard the ring-around-the-rosies is the bubonic plage thing before, but i thought it went like this;
roses, roses
ring a ring of rosies,
a-tishoo, a-tishoo,
we all fall down.
THis is;
blood, blood,
nasty rashes
sneezing, coughing
now we’re dead
the blood is the septicaemic strain of the (1300s) black death, the rashes the bubonic, and the sneezing the pneumonic.
You could actually die IN MINUTES after contracting the septicaemic strain!! Also you got huge warty things called buboes on your neck and armpits which where the size of APPLES (cool).
Guy de Chauilliac pioneered the idea of sucking the pus out of these, because he noted that survivors buboes popped (if you intentionally popped it you died)
Also Giovanni Boccacio saved the pope by surrounding him with a ring of fire, which killed the bacteria.
People thought you could get the black death just by thinking of it, or breathing unclean air, but it was really Yersinii Pestis in fleas on rats that caused it.
And, (like in tld) people stayed in their houses, or went out and looted cause they were going to die anyway. (of course some whipped themselves and prayed to God)
Gross, huh? we had to study it in school. Cool, but gross
and yeah… what if the ‘newer’ strain of the parasite (in peeps) turned into the oil-exploding one that killed all the rusties (ha like rostis). or it could be the worms, who make this ‘black water’ (hey has anyone read the pendragon series?) which is a bit like destabilized crude oil (i’m going out on a limb here) which, after some could explode (rusty apocolypse)
Demensiona- yeah thats the order we came up with, and i am also looking to see if Dess and Jess have the same birthday.
Nick- Wow u have alot of info stored in ur brain. Thats fawesome! I had also heard the ring a round the rosy song/ryme that u did.
thanks,
and isnt minerva a roman god (the greek version of this is athene or athena and is what my cat is called.)
Scott, was this intentional?
Also scott, don’t you write a lot about autistic people:
Alana-Ray, (was she autistic or something else? she definitely had synesthesia)
Dess, (well not really, but like semi-autistic)
Rana Harter (i really liked risen empire/ killing of worlds)
oops sorry alana ray doesnt have a hyphen
yeah minerva is a roman god(my cats name) and i thought that was totally fool when i found that out. i thought that i was the only one that noticed that noticed that!
Yeah Tally I’m still looking on birthday info but Tally and Shay’s birthday is September 9(Is there any significance)?
And hey nick, yeah that ring-around the- roises song was mentioned in my literature book and there was some article that I read a while ago. I LOVE the BUBONIC PLAGUE! And fawesome on the rustie apocalypse, makes sense to me!And no I haven’t read the pendragon series or the Risen Empire, but I know I should! And interesting thought on Dess!
And yeah, Minerva’s a fool name, at the time I didn’t know that it meant a Roman goddess, but since Minerva starts w/ a “M”, I knew she had to be a little crazy!
yeah, plagues are cool, the black death (1350s) even caused a revolution. here’s how it happened;
1 people die (thats the plague)
2 peasants realise theres only a few of them so they can charge whatever they like for working. (before, they couldnt because someone else would do it cheaper, and the lord who hired them had a lot of peasants to choose from)
3 the king makes the statute of laborers, which makes it illegal for peasants to ask for more money than they did before the black death.
4 the peasants are upset. Very upset.
5 when the poll tax is made, the peasants revolt, which they wouldnt have done if they werent so angry about the statute of laborers
So the plague caused a revolution (in which nothing was achieved except a lot of looting, a few officials being killed, and some merchants being killed.)
Fawesome nick! The five steps to a revolution!Totally fool!!
and also, in TLD the Night Mayor says;
‘England and France had gone to war one year before the black death struck, but instead of making peace while the pandemic raged, they kept on fighting. In fact, they kept on fighting for 116 years, keepign their people poor, malnourished, susceptible to disease, now thats commitment.’
he’s talking about the 100 years’ war (misnomer alert!) but the point about that is that there were huge lulls, namely, when the plagues hit. because England and France are separated by something called the Channel, small armies couldnt just stroll over, it had to be a big operation with the approval of the king. And of course, there was no Channel Tunnel, and people couldnt exactly launch missiles at each other, so the war kind of ground to a halt.
So the 100 years’ war was really a set of much smaller wars, in fact, which, together, lasted for 116 years.
Whoa, Nick. You really did your homework on plagues. Fool! I didn’t know all that.
Sorry to barge in here, but I swear that the ring around the rosie song goes like this:
Ring around the rosie
a pocket full of posie
ashes, ashes
we all fall down.
And has this meaning:
A red ring around the mouth, a symptom of the plague;
Posies were carried to ward off miasmas, or bad air, which was thought to have caused the plague;
Used to be “achoo, achoo” like sneezing, or a sypmtom;
They died.
That’s what we learned in The History of Infectious Disease, anyway.
yep that’s pretty much what i said, i even made references to the Nazsca plague and Justinian’s plague. (latin teachers should have to do courses in epidemiology)
but wasnt the rash for the 1300 black death black, hence the name?
and people did carry posies, but that was mainly in the 1664 plague. Doctors used to have ‘beaks’ filled with sweet-smelling flowers (posies) which is where the word quack ( a fake doctor) comes from. Speaking of doctors, Doctor Who starts again in less than a week. Cool!
(that was unrelated and American people will have no idea what i’m talking about)
i mean, teachers seem to not know anything about plagues (this seemed to have dissapeared from my 1st post)
What? People carried posies during the Black Death of the 14th century. And that’s when the doctors wore the beaks.
Yeah, the rash was a symptom of the bubonic plague but the ring around the mouth was, too. Or maybe it was just a ring-shaped rash? Yes, maybe that’s what it is and I am just confused today. Sorry about the mouth thing. I don’t know where that came from.
Wasn’t the outbreak in 1664 the one where the city burned down and killed all the rats and fleas spreading the disease? Yes, I believe so.
yep, there was the plague, which started in 1664, then after two years, the fire of london started, spreading from a bakery. This had three effects
1 people got burned and lost there possessions.
2 Rats and Fleas and Yersinii Pestis got burned. Yay, no more plague!
3 London was rebuilt out of bricks and stuff so it cant burn down again. Yay, no more fires!
A pity Scott didnt write about that in TLD.
We should make a list of all the plagues we can think of:
Black Death… um…
Smallpox… um… yellow fever… um… I can’t think of anything else. Dang. Where is my plague book when I need it?! Oh. In my locker at school. Oh wait (drumroll) AIDS. Sort of. It’s a pandemic at least.
And it is linked to the bubonic plague. People who survived the plague back in the 14th century had some genetic mutation. Those who had two of them never got the plague and those who had one got it and recovered. Same with AIDS — if they have two they can’t get it. All very special. And the trait is passed down, too. There is one reason to make a family tree, eh? Find out if you’ve got any plague survivors in the mix.
Thanks capt. cockatiel (um isnt that a bird?) how about, BIRD FLU! and s.a.r.s. and typhoid fever and that flu after World War 1 which killed more people than the war did, and bubonic plague, and, ummmm….
You can’t say bubonic plague again! Cheating! Anyways. Let me think of some more… never mind. I can’t. I suppose we can count influenza if you are saying the plague after WWI, which was infuenza.
What about ebola? Doesn’t that count?
and how about anthrax?
I think we’re running out…
Er… what about colds. Do colds count? They should.
If you’re counting colds, how about Viral pneumonia and Bronchitis? And as for epidemics, you guys forgot one, CHOLERA.
ok i got the last days today for easter and i just finished it about an hour ago. can you say FAWSOME?!?!?! that book was totally fool. the characters are so believable. i love how they each have their own little things in their speach that you can figure out who it is. like how lace always said dude. and pearl always said nine kinds of… and the taj mahal of… and how zahler (love that name) added an f to the begining of words. this book was wicked fawsome. fexcelent book scott (taking like zahler is fun)
o and how about hantavirus? that was an epedemic. and did anyone mention smallpox?
Hey ImInLoveWithJonathan!
Finished in an hour! I mean I read TLD faster than all of Scott’s other books, but not that fast, impressive! Yeah the characters are totally fawesome! And someone did mention smallpox, but no one said hantavirus!
how about not-plagues, such as scurvy? well, it isnt a plague, because it isnt contagious, but it still should count, shouldnt it? scurvy is when you don’t have enough vitamin C, so your gums go black, teeth fall out, old scars open up and you feel weak and lethargic, its kinda hard to die from it, but it weakens your defences, so other diseases can kill you. Sailors used to get it, because they never had enough fruit and veg. some guy made everyone put lime juice in the navies rum, which cured them all. chocolate has a ton of vitamin C in it (i think) so its a great excuse to eat some: ‘Oh no, mom, if i don’t eat this, my gums will turn black and my teeth will fall out!’
yes but then your mom could say if you eat it your teeth will turn black, you’ll get cavities, and i’ll have to pay for you to get fillings. that wouldn’t be fun.
and im eating chocolate right now and it says it has no vitamin C. but it has 3 grams of protein, 8% Calcium, and 2% iron.
and did anyone mention the spanish influenza? that was an epedemic right?
well, orange juice then…
and yes, i did say ‘that flu after World War 1 which killed more people than the war did’ in post 150, and i think thats spanish flu, i just think i couldnt remember the name just then
How about the Plague of Athens, that well-known disease. Ha ha, not. No one knows what it is. But I’m counting it.
ancient greek for disease or plague is ‘νοσος’
sorry, i just figured out how to do that…
What I think is funny is that some people think the Plague of Athens was the bubonic plague, which was carried around by fleas (on rats) and rats had not yet arrived anywhere near Athens. It makes me laugh.
oh yes… ummm… just hilarious…
Well, I’m sorry that you don’t find scientists being slightly stupid about plagues funny. There are plenty of things I could have said that are much more stupid than that, I assure you.
Here’s a few more infectious diseases (not all really plagues, but they could be…): cat scratch disease, botulism, scarlet fever, TB, pertussis (whooping cough), Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Typhoid fever, diphtheria, hepatitis, lassa fever, Q fever, and tetanus. Don’t even get me started on the parasitic ones. I deeply love parasites.
Q fever? that sounds like something out of James Bond…
here’s a gross parasite; it lives on the back of the fly, then, when the fly is about to die, it makes it fly up extra high, then the icky parasite on the flies back explodes. This would be a bad move, however it sends out tons of its spores, which drift down onto the flies lower down… (it does have a long latin name like parasitus yuckius, but i’ve forgotten it, sorry.)
Sadly, I have favorite parasites. I’m absolutely fascinated by toxoplasma gondii in humans and I also enjoy pictures of tapeworms and flukes and such. Sorry to sound so stupidly obsessed.
And I’ve no idea what Q fever actually is, it was just in the book I’ve got for school. Maybe I should find out…
parasitus yukius? love that. 🙂 and Q fever does sound like something out of a spy/secret agent movie
what i meant by ‘q fever sounds like something out of james bond’ is that in james bond, the spy mastermind’s (or maybe the gadget-maker’s) codename is Q, like bond is 007
gotcha. tha5t makes sense
ahhhh *that not tha5t stupid 5
I just finished reading TLD today! Definetly one of the fooler books out there! I did kind of miss all that parasite info. And i didn’t like having to deal with all the characters that didn’t know anything about peeps, when i did. I wanted to yell at all of the characters!
But it was, truly, an awesome book.
and i was listening to this fawesome song and some of the lyrics reminded me of TLD
“i believe in angels
not the kind with wings, no not the kind with halos
the kind that bring you home
when home becomes a strange place”
because they call the people from the Watch angels, and home has become quite strange due to the epidemic. Sorry if that was stupid, i just always find ways to relate Rise Against to everything 🙂
i was wondering- you know how in the one night mayor tapes thing it was saying how the night mayor ate the kid who wrote ring around the rosie? well isn’t the night mayor not a peep which would mean that the night mayor wouldn’t have had cannibalistic urges to eat people? that confused me. anybody know the answer? much appreciated.
i think he had ‘cannibalistic urges’ when he was just a new peep, as everyone who isnt carriers do. That would mean he isnt a carrier, he just has the old strain and likes garlic bread a LOT! or maybe he’s just really weird, and it was’nt the parasite that made him eat the kid…
this is really cool: there’s this disease called porphyria and George III was thought to have it. (he was the English king who was mad). symptoms included being vulnerable to sunlight (so you went out at night). it also tightens your gums, which makes your teeth look bigger, even though they actually aren’t (like babies having big eyes). Garlic contains a chemical that makes this worse, so you would avoid it like the plague. heme, a product found in blood (like haemoglobin, but not) is a cure, and if you had porphyria, you would crave blood.
Nocturnal, hates garlic, big teeth, drinks blood, is this vampirism or what?
or it could be rabies… the symptoms include insomnia (so you’d be out at night), aversion to mirrors, and very strong smells (but not garlic in particular, though it was probably used to repel rabid people, so it was thought that vampires were hurt by it)
cool or what? George III was a VAMPIRE! Or the night mayor.
Ooh, I read all about that last summer. It was in some book I read about a girl who was very in to vampire stuff. The book had no plot, but the facts were interesting.
Oh yeah nick, I heard about Porphyria on that tv show, Law and Order SVU. Dude that guy looked freaking scary. But I don’t know, fictional vampires are fotally hot!!!
oh my god yes. like edward cullen 🙂 capt. cockatiel, what was that book called? i might like that. vampires are fawsome.
and was the night mayor a girl or a guy… wow! i just had an epiphany. is it just a coincidence that night mayor sounds like nightmare and vampires are usually nightmare-ish creatures? sorry im not the sharpest crayon in the box sometimes.
The book was “Sweet Blood” by Pete Hautman. Be warned: I found no plot.
i have delt with many books lacking plots. such as the sun also rises. we get it hemingway. they like to drink. thank you. no need to waste 224 pages telling us this. if possible, avoid this book at all costs.
OH MY GOSH IMINLOVEWITHJONATHAN, YES EDWARD CULLEN’S HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OH MY GOSH HE’S FOTALLY FOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and yeah capt.cockatiel, I heard about that book Sweet Blood/no offense but the cover kind of threw me off.Oh and noted on that book ImInLoveWithJonathan.
unfortunatly we were forced to read it during eniglish class (ie my living hell) and omg yes edward cullen is the most fawsome vampire EVER! love him. twilight is tied for first on my favorite books. (next to the midnighters)
yes, english classes are horrible, i just got back from one… and its the middle of the holidays (or ‘vacation’)!
…grrrr… lousy english… stupid language… should all speak esperanto…
esperanto is this made-up thing that was trying to be an international language, and is based mainly on european romance (from latin… like roman) languages. a bit like the euro, but for languages. ‘we should all speak esperanto’ is my motto for whenever i hate studying languages.
lol. it also sounds like esparanza (not spelled that way) which is the spanish word for hope. i would love to have one language to study instead of english, spanish, and whatever other language they want us to study next.
wow cover of sweet blood = semi disterbing. i read the reviews on amazon and it seem like some love it and others absolutly hate it. guess that has to do with the fact that there’s no plot. read bue bloods if you like vampire stories. that was pretty good. its by melissa de la something or another (cruz i think)
Wow, english is my favorite subject and I love the dictionary.
Oh and I know! I saw the stars, like what was it 4? Sometimes I can’t always confide in Amazon, but definetly for TWILIGHT, I give twilight 6 stars! oh and what’s w/ the 4 and a half for midnighters(5/6 stars!)? Oh and sense when does Melissa de la Cruz write about vampires? Well I’m intrigued(I just didn’t really like that book w/ the dress on it/too basic).
And hey have any of you guys read the book EVERLOST by Neal Shusterman? Well if you have, there’s going to be a movie in 2009!
i know right. i was looking on her website seeing what other kinds of books she wrote and there was 21 proms or something like that. not exactly my kind of book. but blue bloods was very good. the sequel to it, masquerade, is comming out sometime this year.
english isn’t my favorite becuase of the stuff we do. i like math, biology, and world history the best. ive never heard of everlost but im looking it up on amazon.
this book he wrote called the downsiders looks pretty cool too.
Okay then its decided ImInLoveWithJonathan, I’m reading it(blue blood)!
Ooh I love biology and I love history(just not this year, my Ap World history teacher sucks!)! And I’m forrible in math.(Well I just won’t remember anything that I learned in the math class the following year).
And oh yeah I’ve heard of the downsiders too but my previous english teacher said that she didn’t like it. But I judge books for myself, so who knows, it could be fawesome. And he wrote this other triology that recieved 5 stars for each book called the Star Shards triology.It sounds pretty fawesome, I love the whole group concept(kind of like midnighters in the sense of like a group).
has anyone read tantilize? it looks really good to me but i want someone else’s perspective before i go buy it. i dont trust amazon reviews anymore.
Yeah amazon popped that book up when I was about to pre order ECLIPSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah I was wondering too, I’m still wondering!
omg i cant wait for eclipse to come out! im not going to pre-order it but im so getting it the day it comes out. ill be dead broke by the end of october with all this wicked fawsome books coming out.
Yeah, I’m just pre ordering because I fear that the book stores will be sold out by the morning. Hey ImInLoveWithJonathan, did you hear about the special edition of New Moon w/ extras and THE FIRST CHAPTER of ECLIPSE! I’m SO buying that on May 5th!!! Its going to be totally fawesome!!!
i know! im so mad i cant get it (my parents think its ubsurd to buy two of the same book. even after my pleas of “but extras! first chapeter of eclipse! must read extra stuff! I MUST KNOW!) stephenie meyer will probably post it on her website. (i hope)
Well I like totally ruined my first copy of New Moon, so I was going to buy another copy anyways, of twilight too(I really trash paperback/but not intentionally). But yeah, if my copy wasn’t trashed, I myself would be kind of ify about the special edition. But yeah, it would be totally fawesome if stephenie meyer posts the extras on the website.
Oh and sorry, LAST twilight comment on the THE LAST DAYS SPOILER ZONE(haha), have you read the first chapter of midnight sun ImInLoveWithJonathan?It’s totally FAWESOME!!!!!!
OMYGODYES! i know! Stephenie Meyer is tied for first as my favorite author. I wonder who the other could be? certainly not scott. (yeah right. thats a lie. im obsessed. theres no getting away from that.)
i trashed my copy of twilight too. thats what happens when you read it 7 times i guess.
Aw you beat me by 3, I read Twilight 4 times and I read New Moon twice.
I know it’s like a tie between Stephenie Meyer and Scott Westerfeld. Twilight was my HEALING novel after Blue NOON.
Oh and I can’t wait for HOST!!
In response to some post a million ones above this: Blue Bloods is such a good book! I read it in a day.
ImInLoveWithJonathan: Tantalize is very, very good. I read it last week, actually. I loved it. Full of lots of the unexpected.
I don’t understand this aversion to English classes. I love English class. But I go to a very different school where we pick the classes and they are all centered around a theme. Like my English class now is Debate. Last semester it was muckraking (which I hate). Yeah. So maybe other schools have crap English classes. Or maybe I just like reading too much. Plus my English teacher is hilarious and reads us jokes on occasion. He also makes up songs about every book we read. We made a whole CD for Lord of the Flies.
I’ll stop now, since this post is ages long.
my aversion to english is rather simple- a psycho obssessed shakespeare lover (has memorized romeo and juliet among other plays) she annoys the crap out of me! plus i just hate that class.
I love english i love reading and it is normally my favorite class and by far my best grade. yet this year my teacher does not teach. we do grammar excersises from a textbook, and read awful books. if you ask for help she just rereads the question. and all she ever does is whine about a headache or how she has to pee. I must admit it is a nice hour to catch up on lost sleep or chat with some friend and catch up on what is going on with them. the only writing i ever do there is notes and texts.
Hi Shelly-Wa!
Hmm, well my english class feels like an AP course, and it’s only honors. Ugh but I like the challenge, MOST of the time.
Yea, my english class is honors. i actually wish it were harder. that would be why i took honors. i’m taking pre ap (they don’t offer ap for 10th grade) next year. hopefully that will be better.
Last year (7th grade) I took Honors English. We read 1984, The Catcher in the Rye, and The Lord of the Flies. The only thing I hated about that class was it was the teacher’s first year and he tested all his ‘seminar’ ideas on us. We have seminars all the time. We all sit in a circle and talk without raising our hands.
We used to have to throw paperclips into the middle of the circle, but then we had to decide if we counted the ‘first person’ as whoever let go of the clip first or by which clip landed first. It was all rather tedious and horrible. It’s still tedious and horrible. But now we don’t have to throw things.
Really Shelly- Wa? My school offers AP for 10th grade and ugh, I have to take the AP World History exam in 2 weeks!
Oh my gosh capt.cocktiel, I couldn’t get through Lord of the Flies w/o wikipedia. Oh my gosh I thought it was so boring!!And interesting seminars, hmm…
my school doesnt offer ap courses until junior year either. we have “honors” classes but theyre reall easy. im not sure if its because im smart or if they are just unbelievably easy. (except geometry thats kinda challenging. that and biology)
you want a boring bok, read the sun also rises. cross that. dont. avoid it at all costs. i would rather die than read that again. they drink, hang out in bars, and (get this) DRINK! thats ALL they do. well pretty much.
that was supposed to say book not bok. im a god awful speller
speaking of ap courses. Are they really really hard, because I signed up for ap american history and ap language next year and people have been telling me that i will die. i looked on a college guide and they said that only 8% of the kids who took ap american history passed, and 12% for ap lang.
will i die??????
Noted on the book ImInLoveWithJonathan!
Oh and Tally as for AP courses, it depends. Now if you have a good AP teacher, than the course will be challenging but I don’t know. In most cases, it’s just that most students are intimadted by AP teachers. You won’t die while taking the course Tally, but the Ap exam is another story.
-Hey I know this is unrelated but I want THE NEW MOON SPECIAL EDITION, and I CAN’T FIND IT HERE IN SAN DIEGO,CA!!! UGH!!!!!
THIS SUCKS!!!!!
what’s ‘an ap course’??? all you guys are talking about it…
and i just got The Titan’s Curse, has anyone read the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
and we’ve gone of topic a bot
yes we have gone off topic.
Nick- ap stands for advanced placement, and if you pass the exam at the end you get college credit.
okay, youre gonna have to spell it out for me… what’s advanced placement? Is it like a special set for the clever people?
AP (advanced placement) classes are for people who want a challenge (or people who find normal classes easy). It’s like really hard honors. And, as stated above by Tally, you can get college credit. My brother has an evil AP teacher who never tells them their grades on anything or how they can improve.
Demensiona: LOTF is evil, but not as evil as 1984. Or Ethan Frome. LOTF wasn’t as bad as it could have been, though, because our teacher made fun of Piggy all the time. And we got to go around to other classes and sing to them our “Lord of the Flies theme.”
I’m the King of the Castle by Susan Cooper. a very weird book we had to read for English lessons. its about two kids who hate each other, and at the end, one commits suicide.
a heartwarming story of sanity and friendship.
Oh yeah we did get a little on topic, hmm..
-Oh okay on Lord of the Flies, capt.cockatiel, noted.
Hey nick, is that book “I’m the King of the Castle,” a required reading book? Well anyways I’m want to read it, sounds like it has some good themes.
Hey have any of you guys read that book “Nineteen Minutes,” by Jodie Picoult?(It’s not really on the science fiction side, and it’s a little more adult novel).But I just finished it and it was really good. It was about a fictional school shooting. Um pretty depressing but it had really good themes.
well, our English teacher made us read it, but it wasnt on the syllabus. correction: I’m the King of the Castle is by Susan Hill, not Cooper, she wrote the Dark is Rising four-books-trilogy.
and no, i havent read Nineteen Minutes
I was going to say Susan Cooper… sounds familiar but not for a story about hating/ suicide commiting people. and ive never read 19 minutes but i did read my sisters keeper. which i believe is by jodie picoult. and im reading magic lessons justine larbalestier (yes thats larbalestier not larlebastier like i thought before. i swear i must be dyslexic.)
Interesting nick!I don’t think I’ve heard of a Cooper or a Hill.
Yeah ImInLoveWithJonathan, I read My Sister’s Keeper by Jodie Picoult too. The ending was a horrible(in the depressing sense). Oh you’re reading Magic Lessons? I’ve been meaning to pick that one up. Oh and I got the New Moon Special Edition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s just say that Stephenie Meyer’s Eclipse is to die for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i know! i read the eclipse excerpt while in the store. i ran to the book shelf it was on and was like *stand at bookshelf reading book very fast before my mom wonders where i went* it was AMAZING!!!!!!! cant wait till aug. 7th!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i kno! i cried (well almost) at the end of my sisters keeper. so sad.
Oh my gosh ImInLoveWithJonathan, YES, I can’t wait for August 7th too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And YEAH, I cried for like an hour after reading My Sister’s Keeper. Ugh I always think 10 years!And oh my gosh, the worst part to me was when her father found her in the car and her eyes, her stare!!! I mean it was just so sudden, wasn’t she like narrating the previous chapter? Yeah that one left a sore spot. It’s always with that sitituational irony that gets me, even w/ midnighters.
Well I know one thing, I know the twilight series better not end w/ some kind of situational irony or some Romeo and Juliet scenario. I’m all ready in too deep, that would be torture!Literally!
ermmmmmmmmmm… ok then. no understanding you very well. got to go translate. and i know! if the twilight series ends somehow like that, I’ll kill someone. but stephenie meyer said that shes writing a lot more to the story.
*not. oops i cant spell
Privet!Kak te la?!( haha, I still don’t know how to write in Russian letters though). I’m still learning. But I learned a new response today: Ya iz Ameriki!
Oh and that’s good to know ImInLoveWithJonathan! I’m glad that she’s writing more to the story because if not, I’ll get an axe and join you!!!
good to know there are vampire-loving-semi-violent-stephenie-meyer-and-scott-westerfeld-loving people other than me. 🙂
Haha I know!! It’s fawesome!
Demensiona and ImInLoveWithJonathan,
hope im not intruding on your conversation or anything,but i also read Stephenie Meyer’s books Twilight and New Moon and cant wait till Aug.7! I bought New Moon before the the first chapter of Eclipse came out in the special edition. So i havent read it yet, but i plan to take a trip down to Borders book store and read it. (Especially after Demensiona said it was to die for!) And me and my sister Jess read My Sisters Keeper too, and lets just say Jess thought it was so sad at the end she threw it down the steps and told my mom to burn it. (She didnt burn it in the end but she could have made an ocean with tears)I also can’t wait for Scott’s next book to come out.
Hi katie! No please DO intrude! Fawesome, another twilight fan, this is freat! And yeah, as for the first chapter of Eclipse, let’s just say that the book IS to fie for!!!!
And oh wow, yeah, books will do that to you. After reading My Sister’s Keeper, I felt like freaking fhit!(light-headed).
And I can’t wait for more books from scott too(Extras!)!Hear you later!!!
good, im not intruding, i cant wait to read the first chapter in Eclipse, ive read over Twilight and New Moon so many times my sisters give me quizes on the chapters. it will be cool to read something new even though i still get giddy when i read over the romantic parts of Twilight.im waiting for Blue Bloods at the library.I hope its as good as capt. cokatiel says, because i cant find a book thats as good as Scott Westerfeld or Stephenie Meyer any more.i love to read the outtakes on Stephenie Meyer’s website, most of them should have been in the book though.
i had suggested blue bloods awile ago to any vampire lovers. it was pretty good but not as good as scott’s and stephenie meyer’s books. but the sequel, mascarade, is comming out sometime soon. october i think.
tantalize was fawsome. i read it about a week ago. loved it. right now im reading wicked by gregory maguire. again.
have any of you read wicked? its so fawsome. you should. right now. i can wait until july 21st when it comes to the kimmel center. im so seeing it. i cant wait until this summer/fall!
The second one is out now?! Yay! I just looked it up. Must go put a hold on Masquerade…
got Blue Bloods today. im going to read it once i finish Love Sick. My sister read Blue Bloods and said it was good. i just hope its one of those books you just can’t put down. i can’t find very many of those any more.
ive been reading Blue Bloods all day. havent finished it yet. but capt. cockatiel is right, it is really good. the only reason i stopped is to type this (i dont know why but i prefer talking to you people better than my frind, they dont listen to what i say, drives me insane). well got to go finish it. bye
*friends* i can never spell any thing right on computers
an hour after writting my last entry I FINISHED! it was good. my sister bought Masquerade a few weeks ago and read it so thats what in reading next
i told you that you guys would like it! 🙂 wait masquerade is out already?!?! why did it not send me that email it was supposed to send when it came out?!?!?! *gasp* must go get it right now!
Hey Guys!!!!
Hi katie! Yeah I know! I love the outtakes!! I agree, they should’ve been included(and I like the original ending for New Moon Better/and the like extended prom remix/ basically everything!). Yeah I’ve read the outtakes so much that I sometimes forget that they weren’t included in the book!
And hi ImInLoveWithJonathan, yeah I’ve bought Blue Bloods(I just found out that Schuyler is the old/correct way to spell SKYLAR) and Tantalize, but I haven’t gotten a chance to really read them.
And hi capt.cockatiel, yeah masquerade is out, and I want to go buy it too!
hi guys, im writting this at school so its going to be short. i finished Masqurade on monday. IT WAS REALLY GOOD! i finaly found another book i cant put down. do you think there is going to be another one i hope sp.
hi guys, im writting this at school so its going to be short. i finished Masqurade on monday. IT WAS REALLY GOOD! i finaly found another book i cant put down. do you think there is going to be another one i hope so. byg guys
jeez how did that happen. i sent it twice but have something extra on the second one. and i spelled bye wrong. i am bad with computers.
i saw masquerade at borders yesterday when i was there but i was already getting three other books that i wanted so i’ll just get it some other time. i got girl at sea by maureen johnson (three days before its supposed to come out i might add), the lovely bones(which looks fantastic but i havent started it yet seeing as im reading:,magic’s child by justine larbalestier (finnaly!!!!! it took me a month and 8 stores to get that book! but its so good. i got this from barnes and noble yesterday though. borders never has it.)
ive come to the conclusion that im giving up on computers and sticking to books. ill only get on this thing if i want to talk to you people. which is quite often. at thw moment im reading While I Live by John Marsden. its pretty good. ive read his tommarow series. While I Live is about the same person though. has anyone else read his books. if yoy havent you should. but i wont force you. im not that mean(actually im not mean at all, ive been told i have no back bone)bye
*the* jeez *you* i should really read over these before i submit them.
Haha, yeah I’m forrible w/ computers Katie too, I’m always making typos and submitting twice accidently!And I haven’t read any books from that particular author, but when I get a chance, I’ll definetly check them out!
And hey ImInLoveWithJonathan, book hunting, fawesome!!! Yeah and I hate(well not too much) when I get other books and forget the original book that I come for. The SAME thing happened to me a while back w/ Masquerade, because I bought Tantalize, The Special Edition of New MOON, and ANOTHER copy of The Secret Hour. So when I caught up w/ my mom in the cafe section of Barnes and Noble, she was like “You’ve got to be getting me!”(Hey It wasn’t my fault that they didn’t have paperback).
Hmm but yeah, I’ll get it soon. And your books sound fawesome ImInLoveWithJonathan!
Bye Guys!!
haha, HUGE typo! My mom said “KIDDING”me! Hahah, Katie we’re screwed! (haha, I’m just kidding)!!
im the same way. i can’t spell very well to begin with. (okay its atrocious) but then take into consideration my freakishly long fingers, dyslexia, and unability to type, and using computers becomes hell. i’m in the same boat. and the books i got were WICKED FAWSOME! I’m reading Girl at Sea right now. i finished magic’s child yesterday at my brother’s baseball game. lovely bones is next. wasn’t tantilize FEXELENT? i loved that book. but not as much as twilight and new moon. those are the best vampire/werewolf books ever. period.
man i could have stertedwritting an hour ago but this computer is so slow. its driving me insane! i stil havnt gone and read the first chapter of Eclipse! i keep asking to go but noone else wants to go. it will be out soon though, if it komes out before the set date. i hope it does. gitta go finish my John Marsedn book!
*started writting* *no one* *comes* *Gotta* *Marsden* i think im getting worse and i swear im not doing this on purpose! I AM SCREWED!(just kidding, i could be though i just dont think of it myself)
wow. you do have the cant-type-a-single-word-correctly bug pretty bad. if you look at some of my prior posts, so do i. i understand completely. (although i was confused with the marsedn/marsden thing. wasnt sure if it was the same person.)
sorry for the confuson. i actually can spell very well. except on computers. i don’t know why. could be because the letters are displayd on a keyboard and not in my head. but in not going to try to figure it out, ill prbably get a headache.i finished While I Live by John Marsden. I started a new book by Caroline B. Cooney (did i spell her name right? oh well if i didn’t) called The Time Travelers. i don’t like it so far but im only on the 30th page so it could get better. i only pcked it because it said it was about romance. ever since i read Twilight i’ve been looking for anything with romance. i don’t know why, before i read gothic horror books (like V.C Andrews) or books by Scott Westerfeld. you might be thinking i’m gothic because i read gothic horror books, i’m not, but i also don’t know that your are thinking that. i can’t read minda like Edward, or see the future like Alice in Twilight.
*Confusion* *displayed* *picked* *minds* hey, one les than before, i might be getting better.
yes that is definitly a plus. my computer is stupid. it cuts off half of words decides it doesn’t want to do certain letters. i have the computer typing issues on top of not being able to spell.
Man, what a well set-up website!
Haha yeah I’m just forrible w/ spelling on the computer/ I’m an open dictionary usually when it comes to spelling.
And I haven’t completely read Tantilize yet ImInLoveWithJonathan, but it’s fawesome so far. But yeah, nothing is better than the Twilight series. Oh and fool on the books!!
Hey Katie! Oh you’re reading the Time Travelers? I’m ashamed to say this but the cover through me off, but I like one of her other books (well lifetime movie) “Face on the Milk Carton?”or something? Yeah, someone thought I was kind of Gothic because I read MIDNIGHTERS, and love G O O D books about vampires/werewolves and witches but those are just my PREFERRED reading materials(I love the concept of immortality). But yeah, stereotypes, you’ve got love them.
But on the whole first chapter of Eclipse, I guess I can say that it’s pretty settle, if that makes sense. (I don’t know how to explain it any other way w/o violating something).
And hi how to calculate odds/ This IS a fawesome site!
I lik that movie Face on Tha Milk Carton. I usually don’t pay any attention to covers of books. i jus read the backs. or i hav my sister tell me whats good. most of my books are fron her.
*like* *The* *just* *have* *from* and from my enrty before *less* im going to study the keyboard
i didnt know that the face on the milk cartoon was a movie. I thought it was just a book. I really liked that whole series though alot. The first and third were my favs.
have you read the terrorist? its by the same author. it was a summer reading book a few years ago.
Yeah Katie, it’s my flaw(even the texture of the book throws me off. Like there’s this book/series called like Burned,and the cover gives me goose bumps)!
Yeah Tally, I saw it on lifetime first, THEN I found out that it was a book series. But yeah, I really like that movie.
And hi ImInLoveWithJonathan, I haven’t read the Terrorist, what is it about exactly?
here’s the amazon.com summary of it. A provocative look at an American family living abroad, destroyed by a not-so-random act of violence. Billy, 11, a brash but lovable all-American boy, accepts a package from a stranger in a London subway station and becomes the victim of a bomb. His grieving 16-year-old sister is obsessed with capturing the unknown terrorist. An average student at the London International Academy, she alienates her circle of friends as she begins to suspect each of them. Laura, the typical Cooney heroine, is rather self-centered, plodding through life until tested by trauma. She and her family play the roles of well-meaning, but rather ignorant Americans, oblivious of the world in which they live. Plausibility takes a back seat to plot toward the end as Laura neatly places herself in the hands of the cold-hearted villain. Not since Barbara Parks’s Mick Harte Was Here (Knopf, 1995) has a deceased sibling been so carefully memorialized. Indeed, readers come to know the short-lived Billy better than many of the other characters, including the vaguely draw villain, whose motivation is never really clear. Cynicism rather than honor is the victor at the tale’s conclusion; it ends not with a bang, but a whimper. While this book is not as gut-wrenchingly terrifying as Robert Cormier’s After the First Death (Pantheon, 1979), Cooney’s fans will find it more accessible and even harder to put down.?Marilyn Payne Phillips, University City Public Library, MO
wow that looks super long. heres the shorter version: laura and her family move to england. her brother billy is killed in a bombing in a subway. laura starts suspecting people in her school. she thinks that his death was more than some randon killing. her new friend jehran needs to borrow billy’s pasport to escape an arranged marriage and ets involved in a terrorist plot.
*gets sorry
mmmm… nothing to reply. sorry.
hey to short to mispell any thing (even though i caught my self on sorry)
have any of you read the lovely bones? it was so good. it was a murder mystery type thing but very. (i said because murder mysteries aren’t usually my thing.)
im now reading the alchemyst: the secrets of the immortal nicholas flamel. (yes that nicholas flamel. the sorcer’s stone guy with the elixer of life. the guy from the first harry potter book.) its totally fiction but it contains historical people and its really good. (have i mentioned its really good?)
still nothing to write except im now reading a book cal;ed The killer’s Cousin by Nancy Werlin.
*called* darn i was doing so good (should have caught it before i sent it)
i learened how to play poker today its fun. im gong to go read
*going* darn!
Oh thankyou so much for the summary(s) ImInLoveWithJonathan! That’s fenitetly going to be on top of MY summer reading list, thanks!
And I haven’t read lovley bones yet but I think I’ve heard of it. Wow, ImInInLoveWithJonathan, I think you’re on a roll w/ FAWESOME books recommendation list! FOOL!
And hi Katie!Hmm why does that title seem SO familiar? Well I’m sold by the title! And poker? That’s totally fawesome!!!!!Hahaha!
my cousin tried to teach me how to play poker last summer. but 1) he’s 9 and has no idea what he’s talking about and 2) he was pretty much teaching me “david wins” because no matter what i had, he would win (and the one time we had the same cards!)
have any of you read anything by john green? his books are looking for alaska and an abundance of katherines. they are soooooo FAWSOME! i met maureen johnson on tuesday and im still excited from it. shes so cool. her new book girl at sea rocks.
i went swimming to day and have water in my ears so i ponly hear have of the things peole say. its quite anoying. im okay at poker. i beat jess alot. and i finished The Kiler’s Cousin. it was Really good. i feel bad foe lily even though your not supposed to because she is a brat. but oh well. i always lie the people your not supposed to like.were watching some dogs for friends. theyre driving me nuts with the shedding and the barking. i never really liked animals. but they are kind of cute. i dont know what im going to read next but i hope what ever it si its something good.
*only, half, people, Killer’s, for, like, is*
Haha, I guess most of us have to ACQUIRE poker skills!
Yes I LOVE Josh Greene’s Looking for Alaska, oh and I was wondering if An Abundance of Katherines was good, fawesome, now I know!
And you met Maureen Johnson ImInLoveWithJonathan ?! Oh you’re so lucky!
And hi katie, you know what? I actually understood everything you wrote including the typos. Haha, maybe because I’m a forrible typer too, haha, fool! And dogs?
Ugh, not in a forrible way, but in a DOG PHOBIA way. I guess bad experiences when you’re young scar you for life. I really hope I’ll get it over it soon, because there is just too many dogs in the world and I want to walk down the street w/o having a panic attack from a sight of a dog or an olyser from a bark.
Hmm maybe I should start by owning a puppy?
i am usually terrified of dogs but ive been around these ones alot and they are small. big dogs, i will be running faster than the dog. as long as they keep away and don’t jump on me or bite me im okay. its amazing how im not embarased to say this. usually i try not to talk about dogs because someone will be mean and and say something and ill go red in the face. one time i did a flip overa couch to get away from a dog. but it was a fairly big dog and was jumping on me. (I WAS TERRIFIED!) bad expeirences when your young do scar you for life. enough about my dog problems, I CAN”T FIND A GOOD BOOK TO READ ANY MORE! thanks Scott and Stephenie. i still have not been able to read the first chapter in Eclipse yet. when i go to the library i just grab a book of the self being i read all the good ones. my library is kind of small so there sn’t a lot i havnt read. right now im read ing Swans In The Mist by i dont now who but im only on page 13 and am ready to take it bac. finaly, scools over for the summer. im tired of having ti stop reading to do homework or study for a test. and i am terrified of getting bad grades. 9i worry about to much tough, its kind of anoying to always wory about things because my friends are so loose and im not. i wish i could play hookey or get mad at someone without my guilt taking over) wow i tyoed alot! i think ill stop here. befoer you end sitting in front of the computer reading this for hours. i already do that on this wedsite and Stepenie Meyers. ill probably go on hers next. i always talk to you people frist, i don’t know why. when ever i get on this thing i always type in scottwesterfeld.com first.
*over a, can’t, shelf, isn’t, reading, know, back, school’s, to, i, though, worry, typed, before, website, Stephenie* darn, and thats probably not all.
have any of you ever read anything by e. lockhart? maureen johnson talked about her books when i met her saying that they were good. i started fly on the wall yesterday but im not very far into it. if you have read any of her books, do you have to read the boyfriend list then the boy book? or is it the other way around? or is there no order you have to read them in? so confused.
E. Lockhart is really good! I hadn’t read The Boyfriend List when I read The Boy Book but TBL comes first. I really liked Fly on the Wall because I had read The Metamorphosis by Kafka.
As for which way to read them… I was a bit confused reading The Boy Book first, but not too confused to not get anything out of it.
Happy readings!
writting tw thing ib one day. this is the most i have ever been on this day. E. Lockhart sounds familiar but im not sure why. i don’t remember reading any thing by that author. i stoped reading that Swans in The Mist book and started reading A Story Of A Girl by Sara Zarr. it’s pretty godd. jess already read it and startde crying at the end. the last time i saw her cry overa book was when she read My Sisters Keeper.
*two, things, in, thing, stopped, good, started, over a* any thing that dosen’t make sense, put these words in.
three times in one day im an a role. i figured out why E. Lockhart sounds so familiar. on tha back of A Story Of A Girl, thre are reveiws by E. Lockhart ang John Greene (i think he was mentiond above)
*on, the, there, and, mentioned* DARN!
John Green is awesome, too. Have any of you read his books?
thats what i asked a while ago after i finished an abundance of katherines (read it now people! you will not be disappointed.) i just finished fly on the wall. so i won’t be TOO confused if i read the boy book first? thats good because my library doesnt have the boyfriend list.
i read looking for alaska a few months ago. did you know that’s being made into a movie? i can’t wait to see it. i loved that book. right now im reading the alchemyst: secrets of the immortal nicholas flammel. i’ve been reading it for a while off and on because i got a ton of other books from the library that have to go back soon. its really good.
I can’t wait for the movie, either, but John Green said it was different from the book. They’d better not butcher it and change the entire thing. But I lovelovelove Looking for Alaska. I loved it so much that I went out and bought it (I had read it in a day). It is my second favorite book of all time (only beaten out by So Yesterday). I liked Katherines, too. My mom read the first 7 chapters of it and said it was good (but she wouldn’t finish it, which was strange). I just finished reading Masquerade by Melissa De la Cruz
i have not read any thing by John Green. i think i will now that people keep telling me its good. Masquerade was soooooooo good. i read it in one day. i hope there is a third book. if someone finds out tell me, i can never figure anything out on this computer. those litle dogs i said were watching have grown on to me. i not sure i want to give them back! which is strange because last time we watched them i couldn’t wait to give them back. who knows, maybe next time i come across another dog, i won’t scream and run away.
* little, im* hey im getting better at this. (even though it took an hour to type, going slow helps)
Hi katie!!YaY I’m not alone! Haha you’re right, I’ll be running faster than the dog too!(Survival instincts). Oh puppies, that’s good!But I don’t know, dogs just seem choose to bother ME, not anyone else. Maybe its that smelling fear thing, or the visual fact that my body shakes like I’m having a seizure!
Oh and I wish I could tell you what happens in the first chapter of eclipse, but I promise you that it doesn’t say TOO much. Mostly BEAUTIFUL(hehe) recap, preping you for the rest of the book.
And “A Story of a girl”, that title sounds fuper familiar to me. And you ARE getting better w/ the typing, haha!!!
Oh and sorry about the library problem/ I’ve fotally been there, um well if you still haven’t gotten a book, I believe that almost all libraries have a book called “Luna” by Julie Anne Peters that’s really good if you haven’t read it already. And of course you’ve read Midnighters right?
And hi ImInloveWithJonathan! Haha, why did I think you guys were referring to INKHART (haven’t read it). But no, you’re talking about an author, um, her name sounds VERY familiar.Hey did she write that book w/ the little green frog on it(Haha specific, right?)?
Hi capt.cockatiel!! Fly on the Wall huh? I think my favorite english teacher told me about that book. Well I’m definetly going to be reading that one! And a Looking for Alaska movie, fawesome!!!!! 2008 is going to be a year of totally fawesome movies!!
Yeah, I swear, every book is being turned into a movie. In December “The Golden Compass” movie comes out. And then Inkheart comes out in ’08 doesn’t it? I think so… And I guess Stardust (?) by Neil Gaimen is coming out in movie form. My friend told me to read it so we can go see it when it comes out. Have screenwriters forgotten how to make up their own stories? A Cirque du Freak movie is coming out some time as well, I think. 2009 or something like that. At least there will be semi-good movies to watch this coming year. But in teh mean time I can get by watching Harold and Maude and reading good books.
Demensiona, ont thing i want to ask you, where did you get your name? it’s something i have wanted to ask for a while. i lkie it though it’s fool! and i have read Midnighters. i thin i’ve read everything by Scott Westerfeld. i could be missing something tohugh. most of them were ordred from another library though. when i fisrt found im not the only person with a dog problem, i was less embarased.
*like, think, though, ordered, first* im sure thats not all. i thouhgt i was getting better.
Oh my gosh Capt.cockatiel, wow there’s so many, I FOVE it!!!
And haha hi Katie!Where did I get my name? Well here’s the thing, after reading MIDNIGHTERS, all I could think about was the fact that Jessica was stuck in a
D I M E N S I O N. So I took the word DIMENSION, and replaced the “i” w/ an “e”, and stuck on an “a” on the end. Which becomes:
D E M E N S I O N A
Haha random huh. Yeah my real name is JASMINE. But I prefer Demensiona. But thanks!
Oh yeah, I usually have to order books from other libraries too (Like “Touching Darkness”). But yeah I’m less embarrased about my dog phobia too now, and that’s fawesome!Because for a while now, I’ve been placing myself next to those people on the talk shows who freak out around olives and oranges!
Oh and I think we have the most typos HERE because there’s not any red squiggle lines illustrating our mistakes. Haha we need spell check!!
i lovelovelove inkheart! itsnt the third one comming out soon? yes e. lockhart did write the book wih the green frog on it. i think. if you’re refering to the boyfriend list then yes.
oh. my. god. A Cirque du Freak movie?!?!?! WHEN????????????????
and i can’t wait for the golden compass movie! i loved those books soooo much. i’m glad they’re making so many of my favorite books into movies. (as long as they don’t kill them) but you’re right. all the movies that are coming out now are remakes, books, comics, and otherwise not original ideas! (exaggeration)
Demensiona, thats cool how you did that (and your real name is so pretty! i like it!) i have no nicknames, and any thing that i think of sounds weird. so i just stuck to my original name (well not really because it’s shortened for Katelyn and most peole think my real name is Katherine) my friend Rachel sometimes calls me Twinky, i don’t know why but it does have the word twin in it and i am a twin (my sister is Jess, or Jessica, or Jessie, which ever she uses as her name. we usually call her one of these names0. ive never herd of anyone freaking out around olives or oranges. but thats even better for us bcause thats a little weird. (sorry if any one here is freaked out by one of these things) it would be king of weird if anyone was ever scared of books. i would hope they never have to go tj the library. i9it’s a good thing im not i would cry if i could not go to the library. and the speel check would be nice for this website. i might actually sound smarter than i alredy am. (i hope i don’t suond to self-confident there. i don’t want to give any wrong impresions. i definatly am not self-confident. another thing that gets me made fun of. darn! another thing that might give you a wrong impression. im not some bullied tortured soul. im just quiet and get called bookworm alot)
another thing i do by habit *stick, )- instead of 0, because, kind, to, it’s, spell, already, sound, impressions* i can’t eveb spell simple wors. were not the only people who ca’t spell though. my cousin called us today and asked us how to spell enough. and he’s 22!
I think the Cirque du Freak movie comes out in 2008. That’s what imdb said anyway ( http://www.imdb.com the internet movie database, super cool).
Have any of you read Cobenic by Catherine Fisher? Or Darkhenge (also by her)? Catherine Fisher is really good.
So’s Darren Shan. I met him in April which was pretty cool. I never thought he’d be anywhere near where I live. I can’t wait for his next book…
Katie – He called you just to ask how to spell enough? Whoa. Come to think of it, I think my friend called me once to ask how to spell the. It was really funny.
the? thats pretty funny! there must be alot of people who can’t spell then. and the bad part is my cousin was filling out a job application. and the time befoer his girlfriend askde him where he was and he said he was at the J-Y-M. and then and then we were all say ing don’t yuo mean the G-Y-M?
te dogs are driving me insane! i’m tired of walking over gates to get the the basment(where i am noe), to my roon, to anywhere where they aren’t allowed (which isn’t alot because we have a very small house, but in small houses you go through the same rooms every time you go to a different room!). and then after you hurdle the gates you go outside to find two dogs panting and following you(and while there following im thinking “please God don’t let them jump on me” if they ever did i’d kliterally FREAK!) i can’t wait till saturday. thats when the ownwers come back.
FREE AT LAST!!! Grades are finally turned in !!! Now I can comment more consistently again!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan, is InkHeart a FANTASY novel? Because for just some wierd reason, I can’t read fantasy. Maybe because I need to be able to relate to things, and things like those little fantasy maps unable to do so. And oh yeah, I thought that was the book, because I kind of remembered the title when one of my friends was in that like program when you recieve new books early, and you write feedback. But I forgot the name of the program.
Was Cirque Du Freak GOOD? Because I don’t know, the series seems too Goose-Bumps to me, but since you’re so pumped about the movie, I’ll trust that it’s fawesome!! And I can’t wait for the Golden Compass movie too( Even though I haven’t read it/them, but I loved the cover and the plot). But yeah, 2008 is going to be the year of the remake (haha).
Hi Katie, thanks (but I just think my real name is just too common). And Katelyn’s fawesome(I don’t hear that name too much), and you’re a twin? Fawesome!!! I have younger sister’s that are twins who’s birthday is the day before mine, (Which is a total of five sisters, and 2 brothers).And being afraid of books would be a tragic crime. And no, intelligence is a skill that should be observed and proud of , so go right ahead!! Oh and I’ll pray that the dogs won’t jump on you too Katie!
And hi capt.cocaktiel, that author is good? Hmm I should take a ponder through her books!
And yeah they’re ferrible spellers in the world but who can memorize every word in English dictioanry, let alone spell them correctly. But “the” is a little ridiculous though(haha, I’ve done it). But my problem is, thanks to Spanish 5-6, is that I forget how to spell words in ENGLISH(I always put “y” instead of “and”, “porque” instead of “because”, “siglo” instead of “Century”…).
And don’t even get me started with the Russian Alphabet!Haha, bye guys!
i so hate you. i still have one more day of school. well not really i just have to go in tommorow for two hours and get my report card and co to some closing prayer service. i haven’t gotton to read all the cirque du freak books yet but i really want to. my friend who sits next to me in bio told me to read them because hes in love with those books. i wanted to tell him about the movie but he wasn’t in school yesterday. (he totally cut. but its not like we did anything but hand in our textbooks, clean out our lockers, and talk for hours on end.)
and demensiona- i do the same thing. i’ll be like oops sorry be right back porque mi padre just got home. and they’ll be like huh?
I’m not out of school until the 25th. I have a quiz on Monday. Evil French teacher.
Demensiona: Inkheart is a fantasy novel, but it’s set in real-world Europe, so it’s not in, I don’t know, some fantasy realm called Systerian (I just made that up…) or anything. And Cirque du Freak is really, really good. They were the first vampire books I ever read. They’re very original and probably not like Goosebumps at all (but I haven’t read any Goosebumps books, so I wouldn’t know).
Yeah, school’s a pain. ImInLoveWithJonathan, what kind of school do you attend (Private/boarding/catholic, if you don’t mind me asking)? And haha, yeah the language switch IS difficult(is experience the SAME scenarios).
Oh my gosh capt.cockatiel, the 25th, wow! Oh Inkheart’s set in real-world Europe?I think I’m getting intrigued now but what are the character’s ages ranging from? And did I hear VAMPIRES ?!!! Oh now I’m FEFINTELY reading them!
wow! capt.cackatiel, you don’t get out for awhile. i got out last week. but getting out earlier leaves more time to read and i can’t seem to find anything to read. Eclipse and Extra’s better come out quick (is it possible for things to come out early? and anyone who read masquerade do you thnk tah ther is going to be anothr one?)
Katie: I think there’s gonna be another one after Masquerade. It kind of has the ending for another book, if you know what I mean.
Every summer I read 24 books (at least). Twelve in June and twelve in July and then many more in August. Last year I read 32. At my school I don’t have any real classes next week, so I have no homework and lots of time to read. And almost all the days are half days.
Hmmm… I’m trying to think of books to recommend. Have you read Abarat by Clive Barker? Or… I am the Wallpaper by Mark Peter Hughes (or Lemonade Mouth also by him)? Those are really good books for the summer. Right now I’m finally reading A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. I don’t know why I didn’t read it earlier. Then I’m reading Ironside.
Demensiona: The main character in Inkheart is 13 I think. There’s one other younger person, but I think the rest are mostly adults. I can’t wait for the movie to come out.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! SCHOOLS OUT!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! sorry bout that… i didn’t mention that cirque du freak is a vampire book? sorry bout that. it is. Darren and his friends are ordinary enough kids, who find a flier for the traveling freak show “Cirque Du Freak” — snake boy, the wolf man, giant spider — and a vampire. Not a warm and fuzzy exhibit show.Darren and his friend Steve sneak to the freak show, where the ominous Mr. Tall informs them that every act is real — which, naturally, they are (will kids read a scary book about a fake freak show? Course not). Steve recognizes Mr. Crepsly as a vampire, and exhibits the truly “freaky” wish to be a vampire as well. (Counseling, kid, counseling!) Making the situation even more unreal is Darren, who has a thing about spiders and wishes to steal the enormous arachnid Madame Octa. Darren must deal with an enormous spider, a sideshow full of frightening freaks, and his own best friend…
how do you like a great and terrible beauty? i liked it so much. rebel angels is really good too. i can’t wait for the sweet far thing to come out! September 25th!!!!! and ironside was AMAZING!!! so fawsome.
and i go to catholic school demensiona
im going to go look for these buoks you people keepltelling me about. thay all sound really good. i should probably start a list. i’ll probably end up doing that so they can order them all from different libraries. you’d really think they would go and order in some more books, but they don’t. and i hate wauting for booksto get to the library. Capt. Cockatiel- i guess it is kind of obvious that there is going to be another one after Masquerade, because of the way it ended. but some writters like to keep people guessing (i don’t like those kinds of writters) ImInLoveWithJonathan- i go to a catholic school too. are they really strict at your scool, because they are at mine and it’s very annoying.
i know exactly what you mean! some teachers are soo strict. (like teh one only lets you right in a certain color pen and in cursive only.) other teachers on the other hand *cough*mr.nolter*cough* let us get away with murder. some people threw things at the fan in his class, listen to their ipods (strictly contriband item), and all other kinds of stuff thats against the rules. but most are strict.
we have those kinds of strict teachers at our school, but writting in cursive doesn’t bother me because thats my natural handwritting style. well kind of, some times i add regular print in. but none of uor teachers are ta all nice. only one, and he quit last year. he was the best teacher ever. but who can blam him, why stay in boring Ohio when you can move to South Carolina. he came back to visit though and said he hated his student and might come back. i just hope some one gets fired so he can. but my school sucks any way. and nobody knows how to use moneu the right way, they would rather buy inspirational posters than get new books that aren’t out dated. our math boks have track records theat have been beatenn. ( i know this because my family is obbsesde with running, and i am not. i think it is stupid to run around in circles, or running for a race thet will probably get you know where in life. you might geta scholarship, but runninh is no career that could help people in need. like phsyceology, i don’t think i spelled that right, but i would rather listen ot other peiple and help them with their problems. running or any sport will not keep people from commiting suicide. but thay is my oppinion and it is totaly off topic. sorry if some ome here likes to do lots of sports, the only one i like is dancing. and some people don’t even consider it a sport)
Hi Katie and ImInLoveWithJonathan, you go to Catholic School? Fun! You guys must love the book Devilish, by Maureen Johnson(0r at least you can knid of relate to the school situation). I’ve always wanted to attend a school like that, or some other type of private school. I used to attend a visual and performing art school, but now I attend public school, ugh. I like when teachers are strict, it means that they actually care about their students.
An that’s okay on Cirque Du Freak ImInLoveWithJonathan! Oh and I’m not a big fan of sports either katie(well aside from ice-skating and volleyball). And dancing is considered an art(I did Jazz, tap, and ballet when I was in middle school).
And capt. cockatiel, thanks on the ages! And I’ve heard of Abarat, I was debating if I should buy it off of amazon, was it good? And I’ve started A Great and Terrible Beauty, but I’m already lost, I don’t understand the first chapter.( The Shadows? Like I don’t understand Gemma’s vision?)?
Demensiona: Abarat is really good. Or I thought it was. It has amazing illustrations. The second one is great, as well. About A Great and Terrible Beauty, I guess you have to read a little more than the first few chapters to get into it. I don’t know. I just got Rebel Angels from the library (along with six other books) and I’m currectly reading Ironside.
My school is really small, only 90 kids, and is 7th, 8th and 9th grade (there are mixed grade classes,a round here that’s ‘different’ but I don’t know about other places…). It’s on the campus of a highschool, so we can take languages over there starting in eighth grade. Our teachers are not really strict at all (the English teacher likes to sing and play guitar for us, which I think I may have mentioned a long time ago). We have four teachers. Kids from other schools think it’s really funny that we’re so small, but we’re a pretty smart school grade-wise. Only a few days left… yes!
how do you like ironside? i loved those books. And demensiona, you do have to go a little farther in the book. it is kind of confusing at first but it is AMAZING!!!!!!!! I also used to do dance (irish dance) i do consider it a sport because you do have to put a lot of work and time into it to be good and it is conpetitive. but i don’t do that anymore.
something ahppened on my stupid comeputer and every thing i just typed got deleted. darn i had a lot to. well ill just re write it. DARN!
I stated dance when i was 3. my older sister started when she was 2. she quit to do crosscountry and track she is crazy in my opinion. we all did tap at first byut jess and i quit and started ballet when we were 6. now we do lericle amd if yoou don’t know what that is it’s hip hop jazz and ballet all together. we usually dance to kelly clarckson or michell branch. i would rather dance to evanescence, but nobody else in mmy class likes it. actually everyone else in my class is in their 20’s and getting married, one has 2 kids. tey are all older but we are just as good as them. our shoew is actually this coming friday. butr i hate the stage. we don’t wear dance shose ang the stage is really rough wood and gives you splinters. i have seen irish dancing and i have a few friends that did it and it lok s really hard. after a bunch of complainig i finally got to quit running, but that took awhile because my dad is the coach. i did volleyball for 2 years, but quit when the other girls on my team said some not so nice things ang very bad words about jess. i may hate herat home, but i hate when people talk bad about people. i mean they were supposed to be her friends. it’s safe to say we haven’t talked to them since we quit. ( im not a hippie but i hate when people fight and aren’t nice to each other. the only time i like thatr is in a book.because i usually isn’t true and turnes out okaye.)i suck at ice skating, i can’t seem to stay on my feet. running (on ocasion) and dancing are the only activites i do. sometimes i think i ltell yuo people more about me than i do my friends. im not as shy eather.
I just finished Ironside today. Only three more books until I’ve read twelve. I should be reading right now…
I like to run, but not track. I run for fun (which rhymes and therefore sounds rather stupid). I don’t run so much during the school year, because I gets lots of homework and it gets dark early, but in the summer I run almost every day. Almost because sometimes I wake up and read until noon. Or I draw or write until noon and then feel lazy for the rest of the day. (A bad habit, no?)
capt. cockatiel, you like to run? you sound like ashley (older, running, sister) she kind of obbseses over it though. you probably don’t do that. i could be talking about when a new book comes out and suddenly her and my mom and dad are talking aboyt running. me and jess usuakly are rolling our eyes then. but jess likes it to but not like ashley. she has been on varsity since her freshman year. i guess she’s good, she’s pretty fast. any running conversation is usually a pep talk and it’s ususally the same one so it’s annoying and boring. we are going to the mall to day and we are going to borders while were their. im ecited IM FINALLY GION TO READ THE FIRST CHAPTER OF ECLIPSE!
Hi capt.cockatiel! Fawesome on Abarat! And thanks! Sure, I’ll read more. And I’ve never heard of Ironside. Hmm.. I should check on amazon. 90 students! Wow that’s fawesome, individual attention, that’s great! I had fifty students in my AP world History class alone( can you say claustrophobia!)!And totally not a bad habit!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!Thanks for the reading encouragement! Fawesome,one of my friends used to take Irish dance classes. At my school it was called the Dances of the Emerald Isles or something. I don’t know, I just really loved the leotards( yay green)!And I agree ImInLoveWithJonathan, dancing sure does FEEL like a sport( that’s probably why dance was a substitution for PE at my school. Hey we sure were more fit then those who had PE w/ those freaking pilates)!Haha, yeah I was exhausted, knowing that I had 6 more class periods to go!
Hi katie! I LOVE Evanescence!(Oh my gosh SO many songs go with the Twilight series!)! Yeah my theater dance class was ALWAYS dancing to Evanescence, it was fawesome! Yeah I usually talk more freely on the blog too, because words just come out more efficiently on the keyboard. Hey one of my older sister’s name is Ashley too, fawesome!
And running? Ugh, when I run I’m always in excruciating pain(my kidneys will hurt really fad, because when I was like an infant, doctors thought I had a third kidney, to later find out that I didn’t. So they left my w/ a huge freaking scar and forrible pains when running, ugh!)!
Okay, well enough w/ my little anecdote, haha, yeah running’s…..Difficult! Haha, and enjoy the first chapter katie!I did!
Bye guys!
IT WAS FAWSOME! the first capther of Eclipse was soooooooooooooooo good. now i can’t wait for the wholr book to come out. ill probablu read it in one day but thats okay because ill just read it again, like i did Twilight and New Moon. i also checked out the books that were said on here. Looking for Alaska looked good and so did Cirque Du Freak, but i didn’t have any money so i couldn’t but them. im just going to go to he library and order them because i know they probably don’t have tem. Demensiona, Evanescence is FAWSOME. tghey have a concert on july 22 somewhere in wisconson. me and jess want to go, and ny cousin lives there so we could visit her but my parents have already said no. the only time Evanescence was used at our dance studio was probably three years ago and it was danced by the jazz class Ashley was in. they did Wake Me Up but she quit. (i think i am sort of mad she quit. maybe it’s just because it was for urninng, the only thing i find i can hate.) they haven’t used Evanescence since. but their songs definatly decribe Twilight. especialy Before The Dawn. thats one of my favorites. but i also like Missing and Farther Away. i don’t have a favorite but those are the ones i listen to the most. i wish i could dance to Going Under in the show but i can’t. that would be the best song to dance to. sorry about your kidney problem when you were little. i recently had to get imy kidneys checked for some reason. im not sure why. they checked my liver too. im happy they didn’t do any thing with surgerey, they did it all throgh ultra sounds and blood tests. i hate needles and practicly cried when they drew my blood. i hate shots too any thing to do with needles going into you freaks me out. but it doesnt bother me when i get a paper cut or any hting else just doctors sticking me with needles is enough to mak me start kicking people.(then i feel bad i hurt them, my friend rachel tells me i have sicotic paranioa. i probably didn’t spell that right) i think the reason that it’s so easy to say things that would normally embaress you is becaus e you can’t see the person youre talking to. i could be stating sthe obvious though. you might already knoe that. oh well.
wow that looks like alot
i like to run but i have some sort of athsma type thinger that if i run ilike fall over and pass out on my friend’s lawn (true story) i love evanescence! one of my faves. I think its easier to talk to people online because people cant judge you by what you look like or what you waer. only based on you and your comments (and spelling skills. sorry people. i try. it just doesnt happen)
what is that i hear? nothing ecxept the air vents, no barking! ti’s actually quiet! im sure it won’t be for long, jess will pick up her MP3 sometime and blast her ears out.soery about your asthma ImInLoveWithJonathan. a girl on shleys crosscountry and track team has that. she uses an inhaler 30 minutes berfeor she runs and then a gaian right aftyer and some tines she will run with it. i just wouldn’t run but thats me. Evanescence is my favorite band. jess likes fall out boy better.(i think thats onlyt bescause she likes pete wentz) i just put some new songs from Evanescence on my MP3 player.(hopefully i can save up enough money to make that an ipod) i put on Imaginary, hello, within tepmtation, so close, and you. i like Imaganiry the best, especially the beginning. but i don’t rweally have a favorite baecause of before the dawn (it always reminds me of Edward an Bella) and about talking to people on the internet is easier because people can’t judge you for your apperances, that is true they can’t see you. but comments can really throw you off too. you could just decide you don’t like someone because of what they wrote. but every one here sounds to nice to do that (but some one could have a mean sisde abd just decide not show it. but in my case it doesn’t matter what you say i will never not like someone because of intrests. my friends, but mostly jess, are always joking about if i ever got beat up and i hurt the person who was attaking me, i go back and say sorry. and then someone usually says that id let them punch me back. i don’t think i would do that thuogh. i prbably wouldn’t fight at all just run. the only thing that my running family has helpred me with) OH CRAP SHE HAS HER MP3!
every thing i write looks long to me.
She is singing(no screaming) Thanks For the Memories. and i don’t hav a bok to drown it out with. inv been reread ing books that i already read a million times to drop hints THAT I NEED TO GO TO THE LIBRARY!
so mucj for the quiet.
I have never really listened to Evanescence. I hadn’t listened to the radio for about five years and only just started to again in October (I think). Yeah… now I am a crazy music junkie. My favorite bands are Augustana and The Fray.
Demensiona: Ironside is the third book in a series/sequence type thing by Holly Black. Have you ever heard of Tithe by her? It goes Tithe/Valiant/Ironside. They’re really good books.
Have any of you read The Gospel According to Larry by Janet Tashjian? It’s one of my favorite books now. It’s got a lot about anti-consumerism in it and is really good. The second one is good, too.
ive never heard of Augustana Capt.Cockatiel, but i have heard of The Fray. they aren’y my favorite, but some songs are good. all ive heard for the past three days is pete wentz this pete wentx that. and she wants to buy a book he wrote. she just came down now and you can hera her music blasting .
i’ve heard of the gospel according to larry but never really had an intrest in reading it. i LOVE augustana and the fray. i read valient then tithe then ironside. it still made sence but you HAVE to read tithe and valient before ironside or you wont get it at all. i have to go the library too. i just went last week and got 6 books and im already done them all .:( must. go. soooooooooon!
You must read The Gospel According to Larry! It is such a good book!
Anyway. Yeah, I really like Augustana. I can play their song Boston on the piano (most of it by heart). Do any of you know the song I Must Have Done Something Right by Relient K? My friend laughs every time he hears it. Like, really laughs hard and won’t stop for a long time.
I’m reading Rebel Angels now. I read three books over the weekend. It was crazy.
funny, i justr type in this web address without a second thought. i have been reredaing Masquerade and New Moon for the past week. the only thing different is there isn’t any barking in the backround (wich i am very happy about) wee are going to the library tommarow. we were suposed to today but we didn’t (i was copmplaining) maybe we will go to the down town library, that way i won’t have to wait even longer for my boks. thats usually wheere they are ordred from. reading the first chapter of Eclipse is making me more impatient to read the whole book. it’s driv9ng me insane not knowing what happens next.
I haven’t gotten to read the first chapter of it yet. I feel sad that basically everyone else has… poor me. 🙁
after so much complainig, we finally went to the down town libaray. i didn’t get to look long, but i got 7 boks (actually 9 nbut but 2 are for a friend) i looked at the boy friend list by e. lockhart. i didn’t get it because my pile was bid ebnough already. but i did get looking for alaska, and some other books by authorss i already read form (just Meg Cabot and Caroline B. Cooney) when we awent i had a bag of books to return that was probably over 10 pounds (eiother im weak or it was just that heavey) they weren’t all mine but the majoriety was (probably about 10 out of 14 were mine, i forgot to take some back before) i think i talk (type, badly) on this more than i tlk to my friends that i can actually see. i find talking here is more fun though. my friends that i talk to on the phone usually try to chandge tha subject if i talk about books. a couple friends have started reading though, i bet their parents are probably happy. one of my friends just read running with scissosr, it sounds good and i might read it. OH CRAP ! JESS IS SINGING AGAIN! (it is NOT pfretty.
just looking back at other things ive rwitten ang i tend to mention my friends alot. i hope that doesn’t bother anybody. i can’t think of ay thing to writ e any more.
Basically all my friends are avid readers, much like me. We read too many books. Our English teacher likes it, though.
In the summer I’m always checking out about seven books at a time. The librarians look at me oddly.
Yay for getting Looking for Alaska!
none of my friends are avid readers. I’ll be suggesting books to them and they’ll be like yeah… I don’t read. although i did get a few of my friends to read the midnighters and uglies/pretties/specials. I’ve never heard that Relient K song but i have heard a few others. they are pretty cool. you have to tell me how you looking for alaska. i loved that book. right now im reading boy proof by cecil castellucci.
thats funny that you mentioned boston because i’m listening to that right now.
i love that word avid, i don’t knoe why i just do.im going to read Looking For Alaska arter i finsgh the series i started. that means i will be reading Looking for Alaska in about two days. it would probably be tommarow but the series is boring. but i hate not finishing one because it buggs me that i don’t know aht happende next. fall out boy was just on thatr ellen persons talk show. you peole are lucky you weren’t there. it was CRAZY! jess was screeaming her head of going, “THATS PETE ISN’T HESO HOT! OH MY GOD! HE IS DANCING HE IS SO HOT! OH MY GOD DID YOU JUST SEE WHAT HE DID. THAT WAS SO HOT!” she is nuts! and then she was singing whic is worse than the screaming. and the bad part is, she was screaaming more than the people that were thare. she needs help. Pete Wentz isn’t even that cute. (funny, i talk about jess just as mucj as i tal about my friends)

Pete Wentz isn’t even that cute. (funny, i talk about jess just as mucj as i tal about my friends) THE STUPID COMPUTER WNT SEND WHAT I WROTE!
IT SENT IT TWICE!!!!!!!!!! I HATE COMPUTERS AND RUNNING!!!!!!!!!
ha. It does that to me too sometimes. I know what you mean about obsessive fans i mean really who would do stuff like that? (OMG IS THAT SCOTT WESTERFELD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) just kidding. i so can relate. i was like hypervetalating when i met maureen johnson. lol.
I read Boy Proof last year! I liked it a lot. Read it in a day while sitting around eating muffins (I don’t know why any of you would want to know about eating muffins…).
I have never heard anything by Fallout Boy. (So you know, if it’s supposed to be Fall Out Boy then blame me and my non-listening ways.)This even strikes me as rather strange, because just about everybody has heard something by them or likes them a lot. I am clueless.
The funny thing about the mentioning of Fallout Boy is that yesterday in the newspaper there was an article about guys wearing eyeliner (the headline literally read “Hey man, your guyliner is smeared!”). In this article it talked about Fallout Boy (as well as Johnny Depp). It was hilarious and I cut it out for all my friends to see.
jess talks about the guyliner all the time. (it is usually more like “OM MY GOD. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THEN GUYLINER PETE WENTZ SELLS. IN AN INTERVEIW HE TOLD YOU HOW TO PUT IT ON!” followed by datailed directions and ab analogy on how it was thought up. and then she will tell you about fhis clothing company Clandistine something. and then se will tell you about the decadance records that fall out boy owns, and the people they sighed. and then to finish it off she spends the next hour telling you about the poster that they signed in their boold and how much she wants one. and how they tell people that they are creepy. ive heard this soooo many times i could probably teall you ny self.) if i were famous i would most likely be running from jess. when she likes some thing she sometimes obbsesses over it. i hae to say i have done that once. but i was seven and that was the last time i ever liked some thing so much. and i think its kind of embaressing but i might as well taell you what it was about (i find telling you people my secrets isn’t as embaressing as telling any body els) i had this obsesion with spanish things and read spanish books and would only listen to Selena’s music. (even thiugh she was dead by then i didn’t care if i would never meet her) i didn’t evern know wht she was saying most of the time. im not even mexican. and peole made fun of me alot after that. and then at dance one night we were streching to a sondg ASelena sang, and after all the years i havent even thought about her, i remembred all the words. but there i wasnt emmbaresed because every body else knew most of the words too. i didn’t actually bget embaressed about it until jess told my story to every body in my class (which isn’t big, only 6 peole including me and jess. but i get emmbaressed very easey and i already always feel akaward around them.) finaly the book im reading is getting better. but there is two books in the one so ti is about 400 pages. it won’t take me long but i hate begginings that is the only thing that makes mr read slowere.
Hi guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoa I haven’t been on for a little bit(I’ve been reading the book Tantalize, and watching the movie Blood and Chocolate!/which was fawesome, and listening to music)!
Hi Katie!!!!!!!! Yeah I’m going Twilight CRAZY! Like to the point where it’s getting RIDICULOUS! And I love Evanescence! Yeah I’ve done dances to Imaginary and of course, My Immortal. Um the songs that I currently have on my MP3 are: Missing!, Within Temptation! Heart-shaped Box! Solitude! Listen to the Rain!AND Rare! And I agree, it’s definetly easier to talk online because you don’t have to worry about keeping the conversation going or thinking on the spot. And I’m guessing it’s COMFORTABLE w/o the dogs?Haha, you HATE to love them!And thanks on the kidney problem! Oh and as for the needles, I’m okay as long as my mom draws my blood(my mom’s a phlebotomist).And fawesome on Looking for Alaska! And it’s fotally okay on the mentioning of friends! Oh and I’ve MADE my friends AVID readers(you just have to show them the right books/they were sold w/ twilight). Ugh but they’re always arguing over Jacob and Edward,my mom likes werewolves, and I LOVE vampires AND werewolves!And I HATE when my comment posts twice, either that happens, or it’ll say that I’ve sent a duplicate of my comment when I haven’t, or my comments awaiting modification, ugh!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!!!!!!!! Yeah asthma can denfinitely be a running factor. Fawesome on Evanescence! And The Boy Proof by Cecil Castellucci? Finteresting…!
Hi capt.cockatiel! No radio in 5 years, Oh my gosh!/Couldn’t do it! Oh I Love The Fray!But I’ve never heard of Augustana. And Reliant K is Fawesome! And don’t worry about the first chapter of Eclipse. I’m starting to think that it’s better to not read the chapter. The anticipation is frazy!!!Oh and thanks on the Tithe,Tithe’s familiar. And I’ve never read The Gospel According to Larry by Janet Tashjian, but I probably should!
And Artists/Bands that I like are: Evanescene, The Goo Goo Dolls, The All-American Rejects, Frou Frou/Imogene Heap, Radiohead, Dido, Elisa, Linkin Park, The Killers, t.A.T.u, Lillix, Lifehouse, John Mayer, The Carpenters, Underoath, Vanessa Carlton, The Dave Matthews band, Breaking Benjamin, KT Tunstall, Hoobastank, Muse, Savage Garden, SwitchFoot, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Zero Destiny, The Flaming Lips, Marjorie Fair, Hanson and Debussy/Bach……
I love them all! And they’re songs FOTALLY go w/ the Twilight series!(I should fotally post my soundtracks)!
Bye guys! Now that’s A LOT!
Yay for Switchfoot and John Mayer! And lots of others on that list. If you’ve never heard of Augustana you should listen to them as they are amazing in every way. Maybe you’ve heard their song Boston? It’s on the radio a lot (at least where I live it is).
Katie: I know all about the guyliner demonstration type-thing. It was in teh article that I found, and my friends went and looked it up on the internet and watched it. Very, very weird.
Have to go to school now… (At least we’re in the non-classes week. I think I’m making a ceramic tile today or something… weird.)
lucky you. at this point, i’d rather be in school. no lie. my brother is so anoying and i have nothing to do. although tommorow i’ll probably be in love with summer vacation, so i better not wish to be back in school
Demensiona, when they stick me with needles, i always get rude people who are probably wishing they had something better to do (and im sitting there thinking “HEY WATCH WAHRT YOUR DOING AND BE CARFUT! THAT LOOKS KLIKE TO MUCH BLOOD! WATCH QHAT YOUR DOING!) i would have already turned my friends into avid readers with the fawsome book of Twilihgt but my aunt won’t give it back yet. i already have a list of friends who want to read it. (but some jess won’t let because she is mean and posesive.) om my MP3 i have Within Temptation, missing and a ton of other ones (my favorite being Before the Dawn) some i don’t have because my computer is stupid and the program i get my songs from drives me nuts. it weither won’t down loaed the song or there is some music web site tyou have to pay so muckh money a month for when you don’t even wan’t it. and some aren’t even the song it is some person thinking that they can sing por putting a commercial on it so when that some sond comes yp all yopu get is an advertisement. it is sooo anoying. half of the artists/bamds you listed i have never heard of. i mostly listen to Evanescence and whatever other random stuf f i hera on the radio. i don’t like country music unlike ashley (she just says it’s good to run too that she doesn’t actually like it. but i don’t think that is right) but i do like some country, just Carrie Underwood. i like Before he Cheats and that new one she sand on american idol.
ok just saying that i LOVED the last days book and i LOVE TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was so FAWESOME!!! 😀 i love them both
Hello!
Hi capt.cockatiel, yeah Switchfoot and John Mayer are fawesome(Oh I meant to add Mogwai to that list)! I should really check out Augustana, I don’t BELIEVE that I’ve heard them on the radio( Then again I have forrible short-term memory).
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Amen on that! My younger brother is freaking fannoying! But yeah, we should EMBRACE summer vacation/while we can!
Hi Katie! Yeah those doctors are usually ruff. I’ve said those exact same things. Sometimes when I’m getting a shot or something, my mom will just take the needle from the doctor(nicely). Yeah my mom’s really gentle w/ the needle and she’s a real PEOPLE person(she makes you forget that she’s drawing your blood/she’s quick)!
Oh and be prepared to see your copy after your friends and others are done reading it, you’ll need to buy a new one. (Preferably hardcover)!
And I’m REALLY not a big fan of country, my love for country music goes as far as the theme song for the tv show “Reba” haha! And yeah, I believe that Carrie Underwood has a good voice, but honestly when she won American Idol, I didn’t think that she was going to go the ALL country route. And that song defintely grows on you!
Hi Sarah! Wow you’re really reading it up! Yep, they’re amognst the best books ever!
Bye!
Oh and capt.cockatiel, I’m SUCH a DOPE! YES I’ve heard that song/ and seen clips of that music video. I just didn’t know that they were called Augustana and that the song was called Boston. Ugh I’m so fetarded! Please excuse my great fupidity!
hahaha thats so funny that you mention reba. my aunt loves that show and she watches it like everyday on the cw. (i think thats the channel) i love boston. i like the version thats on the radio but they dont have that on itunes (that i know of) but i got the cd version. the begining of it reminds me of a music box. have any of you ever heard of mika or kt tunstall?
dress rehersal is tonight and im supposed to find 80’s work outr clithes for the finaliy. i hate the 80’s. and their fashion was the worst. but i like the dance it’s fun.
Demensiona, you are lucky your mom is a people person. im a people person to the extent that i can’t say no to anybody. sepecially kids. they are soo cute! (well, most of them) with me they could probably get a way with murder. my mom kind of is 9but not so much with telephone marketers. but neither am i. i think they can be anoying so i just don’t answer the phone. sorry if any one here likes telephone marketers.) i have to go get ready. i still don’t know what im goin to wera for the 80’d workout clothes.
thanks demensiona yep theyre great books but i LOVE twilight now its soooo my fav book 😀 i saw it in b&n (barnes and noble) and i thought itd b a weird book but when u and chima-la recomended it i decided 2 get it and im SO GLAD i did like i said fav book now 😀
I’m so glad you picked them up. They were my obsession for the longest time. I just got over my wicked (gregory maguire) obsession and am now on to Maureen Johnson’s books which i have been a fan of for a while. (FREE MONKEY IS AT MY HOUSE RIGHT THIS SECOND!!!!!)
i loved twilight LOVED IT!! im glad im i piked them up 2 ImInLoveWithJonathan! i should probably read wicked now 2 😀
Have any of you read Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini? It’s very good… but, um, strange. You all should try it.
IILWJ: Yeah, they don’t have it in iTunes. I don’t get it, I mean everyone want teh radio version. I have both. I got their CD for my birthday along with the piano music for Boston. (I was just playing it ten minutes ago).
no i havent read Be More Chill what is it about ???
It’s about this boy named Jeremy who is very uncool. All he really wants is to be cool. So when a cool kid named Rich tells him about the squip (a computer that you swallow as a pill that gives you advice) he decides to track one down even though they have not yet been released and so they are illegal. When Jeremy gets his squip it tells him how to be cool, but there may be a downside… (Ooooh, cliffhanger!) It’s very good, I read it yesterday.
sounds cool ill get it 😀
Hi!I just finished reading New Moon OVER again and listening to my New Moon Soundtrack!
Haha, yeah you’ve got to love that show! Yeah the station’s called thecw. Oh my gosh I LOVE KT Tunstall/ Especially her song “Heal over”! But I’ve never heard of mika. And I really need to pick up THOSE Wicked books when I get a chance. And I agree, Maureen Johnson is fawesome(her writing really flows)!
Hi Katie! 80’s workout? Fun! And thanks on my mom/ oh my gosh I have NO patience w/ children and I can read them ALL like a book( guess I’m scarred from having 2 brothers and 5 sisters!)!
Wow your mom must have a TON of patience!
I fate telephones and door bells(they usually end up scaring the crap out of me and they’re always constantly ringing)!
Hi sarah! Yeah I think Twilight’s my favorite book series now too!
Hi capt.cockatiel, I’ve read the first page of “Be More Chill”( The cover intrigued me), but I can’t really remember why I didn’t finish the book. Maybe confusion?Hey is it REALLY provactive? Anyways since you seem to like it, I’ll give it another shot!
Bye!
have you ever heard the song miniature disastures by kt tunstall? i like that one. heal over is really fawsome too. i got that cd for christmas
or paralyzer by finger eleven?
Srorfy please :((
Wrnog catwgoyr…
wlil be aredflu
dress rehersals was okay. the 80’s thing workd out okay. every body looked weird. some parents were complaing that bras were hanging out and shorts were too short (even thogh we had leegings underneath them). and then one of our teackers made us do the finally all over abain like six times. even thogh the first time was fine.
Demensiona, i Love kids. thy are soo cute (well most are) and they all like me (mainly because i spoil them) i don’t have any younger brothers or sisters. jess is the youngest. (and only by a few minutes) i finaly started reading looking for alaska and im not that far in it. (really only the first few pges)
my comments are getting shorter and shoerter.
thats ok katie mine r short and gettin way longer (sometimes) 😉
Demnsiona: Yeah, Be More Chill is really provocative. But if you can ignore that it’s really rather interesting.
Monday is the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. For me, at least. All you lucky people on summer vacation…
Hi!
Yes I LOVE that song ImInLoveWithJonathan!/I sing it all the time!(Hey maybe it’s just me, but I can’ find some of the song lyrics for that song in my booklet. And “Another Place to Fall” has extra lyrics that aren’t sung).Wierd huh? And I’ve never heard of “Paralyzer” by finger eleven (but I should)!
Hi ignonoeviff!(I think I spelled that right)!
Hi katie! Fawesome on the dress rehersal!And fool, you like kids?That’s a useful attribute for practically anything! And fool! You’re reading Looking for Alaska! That’s freat!
Hi sarah! Yeah I think my comments are shortening too(a little/haha)!
Bye guys!
Hey capt.cockatiel! Your comment wasn’t there a second ago!
Hmm provactiveness(is that a word?Haha) is interesting. But yeah, I think I can ignore TOO much.

yeah totally agree ImInLoveWithJonathan yeah i also went 2 catholic high school well used 2 now i go 2 the hell filled spanish school
Hi guys!(It’s 10:09p.m.)
Hi capt.cockatiel!Yay Monday! Wow I hope YOU enjoy ninth grade! I frankly, I
F A T E D it. Not really for the normal reasons but for the LANGUAGE barrier( I felt SO isolated).But to tell you the truth, I was pretty NUMB going to school in ninth grade, so I don’t really remember much. And I agree, fawesome on the Pink flamingo idea!
Hi Sarah!I move to Phoenix on Tuesday!
I guess I can say that I went to a SPANISH school for 2 years. Ugh we had to wear uniform and we got out of school at 4:00/we started school in July. And practically EVERYONE spoke spanish except for like 3 percent of the students. My school was 2 minutes from the U.S. /Mexican border, you could see the mexican flag from our classrooms. Nice scenary though and the teachers were pretty fawesome, but it was just a HUGE adjustment(coming from an EXTREMELY culturally diverse performing arts school where all of my friends were).
But I have NO regrets, I learned alot!Plus, I met some fawesome anime freaks, and found Scott Westerfled’s books in ninth grade and Twilight in 10th/along with so many others.So that was FAWESOME!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan. Yep we had uniform too. (I FATED the white collar)!It is the ONLY UNIFORM HIGH school in California. School administrators said it was something to be proud of, haha! But yeah I’m a sophmore too right now, but I’ll be a junior in August!
Bye guys!
crap. i just wrote this huge comment. and i hope it worked.
or i will be NOT AMUSED.
yeah in freshman year my teachers absolutely HATED me cauz my brother pulled these really NASTY tricks on them so they thought i would b like him but nooooo im not so im happy now but goin 2 b junior this year but in freshman year i went 2 catholic high which it didnt suck but i HATED those stupid uniforms and u move on tuesday ooooo good luck ive moved 15 times before cauz either my parents r divorced and so i lived with either of them or my dad got transferred so good luck 😀
Hi Jess!
Hi Sarah, haha, that’s how it usually works w/ siblings in schools right? It’ s either that they’ve created a reputation(creating an atmosphere for you), or others have certain expectations of you. (The cycle never dies, haha)!And wow, you must be VERY adaptable. And thank’s Sarah! Good luck on the “move”, or whatever else you decide to do!
-Oh hey guys, would you mind if I shared 3 really BRIEF “Twilight Series” facts? (I’m not sure if you would consider them SLIGHT Eclipse spoilers/Probably not since the brief fact(s) were posted on wikipedia).
JUST SAY THE WORD!
yeah i asked my mom if were movin and she said she would tell me on my b-day which probably is YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 but i dont no
what the hell is the matter with this laptop???????!!!!
My brother is two years older than me (he is now a junior as of TODAY) so we went to the same junior high last year. We had two new teachers that year for the school so I made a good impression, but my brother decided to “test” the English teacher’s skills. It didn’t work out to his advantage. Next year my sister is going to be in my school, so my teachers think she’ll be like me. They are in for a surprise.
Freshman. Freshman. Freshman. Ha ha ha ha. Sorry.
Back in sixth grade my two friends (Aaron included) had this weird ‘joke’ where they’d push each other into people/things and shout “Move over, FRESHMAN!” They have now brought the joke back.
I’ve never been to a school with uniforms. Mostly I’ve gone to these alternative-type schools that are all “creativity” and “imagination.” That’s why I have stories to tell about insane teachers who sing a lot. The only ‘normal’ school I went to was in kindergarten, so that didn’t have much influence on me.
it is interesting to hear about different schools. ive only ever gone to one school, a catholic school with it’s white shirt and plaid skirts. and the skirts are very uglu with blue, whit and gray in them. im just lucky all my teahcers love me.(but they like anybody who doen’t try to break the record of getting in trouble. and they like the fact that when ever there is extra time i pull out a book. i have friends but i always feel out of place at school) Looking For Alaska is actually kind of funny in parts. but im not very far. for some reason it keeps taking me longer to read a book. if it was boring i would understand why. but it isn’t, it is very good. it is funny how im complaing that it takes more than a day to read a book anymore. once Eclpise comes out im sure i will read thay in one day. i wonbder how long that will be. i hope very long. i like long books the best unless they are completly boring.
I can’t wait for eclipse to come out. I was jumping around the room the other day (i was hyper) trying to figure out how many more days, hours, etc. until Aug 7 (yes i do that when im hyper) and my friend was like no it comes out in september. i was like NOOOOOOO it cant its aug 7th!!!!! so we went on stephenie meyer’s website and it is aug 7th. and we also found out that shes comming to the barnes and noble near my house on september 12th!!!! can’t wait. sorry. I’m excited.
I was like the only thing that could make this day better would be if scott westerfeld posted his extras tour and was comming near us. but he didn’t :'(
Stephenie Meyer is going to be by your house ImInLoveWithJonathan! that is sooo cool! the closest she gets to my house is Cincinnati (i don’t think i spelled that right) and thats 4 hours away! and its on a monday so i can’t ven go. and there is a website link on Stephenie Meyr’s web site that will tell you down to the seconds when it will come out.
to get the website just find fansites on her websites and click on the first myspace one. i would just put the website on her but it didn’t look like it would work.
Stephenie Meyer is always around here every year, where I live happening to be Seattle. I’ve never met her though, which is rather sad. But it was truly amazing when my friends and I got Scott to do a signing while he was in town. The only authors I’ve met besides Scott are Patrick Carman and Darren Shan.
I am very hyped up on summer right now. Last June I read only 12 books, this year I’m on my 15th. Have any of you read Blood and Chocolate? Some of you probably have. It’s a really good book and I want to see the movie really badly now.
i finished Lokking for Alaska. it was very good. i am surprized how long it took me. jess might read it. she heard me laughing and asked me about what. but it wasn’t all funny. i have no clue what im going to read next. probably Wrecked. it is a book jess just read that looked good.
i only spelled one thing wrong (i never thought i would spell titles wrond) i am getting better at typing. Fool! prbably because when im not reading im typing on here.
I forget who it was who told me to read Everlost (i think it was capt. cockatiel) but it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. i read it in a day. I’m now reading Marked (VAMPIRES!!!!!!!!!) its pretty good.
ImInLoveWitheJonathan, who are those two books by? ive been looking for good books and can’t find any. Looking For Alaska was very good though. i went to the mall again and stopped by Borders and read Eclipse again. for some reason i can only read Stephenie Meyer books over again. any other book i know what will happen next so i don’t like it as much. but that is difertent for Twilight and New Moon and the first chapter of Eclipse.
Everlost is by Neal Shusterman, The other book I read by him was Full Tilt and that was also really good.
Katie: You could try An Abundance of Katherines also by John Green. Unless you’ve already read it. Or… (oh gosh, get ready for it, I’ve read 16 books this month… also, forgive me if I tell you to read something that you’ve already read!)
Blood and Chocolate by Annette Cutis Klause (also The Silver Kiss by her), Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini (I’m currently reading his newest book It’s Kind Of A Funny Story which is also reallllly good), Alt Ed by Catherine Atkins (I think that’s her name. I’m too lazy to look at my bookshelf), Cirque du Freak/the Demonata series by Darren Shan, Faerie Wars by Herbie Brennan, East by Edith Pattou, Poison by Chris Wooding. And I’m told that The City of Bones by Cassandra Claire is quite good. Sorry for the long list of books.
I think I’ll go put a hold on Marked… I feel like I’ve heard about it before.
marked is by P.C Cast and Kristen Cast. (joint mother/daughter book) have any of you ever read Vampire kisses? i dont remember who they were by but… i’ve been looking at Blood and Chocolate and City of Bones for a while. where they good? The cover East reminds me of the hardcover of the gold compass. (the one withLyra, Pantalaimon, and the armored bear whos name escapes (iorek or something) me on the front)
omg love it! i read uglies & midnighters and i’m now reading so yesterday but i love the whole parasite concept… my mom read like 3 pages ( including the ones about the snail and his brightly colored eyes) she almost threw up, clasic!! plus i’m into music so i loved the band thing too!! all in all a totally fawesome book!!!
Blood and Chocolate is absolutely fabulous! Haven’t gotten The City of Bones yet… but I want it sooo bad. You should read East. I read it before I read The Golden Compass so The Golden Compass reminds me of East instead of the other way around. Weird.
Did you read the rest of the His Dark Materials Trilogy yet? i love thosae books. theure making a movie out of the golden compass (decemper 7th!! eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!) but nicole kidman is playing mrs. coulter. I think she’ll do a great job but shes blonde and mrs.coulter has dark hair.
I own all of them but I only read the first… I don’t know why I never read the rest of them. I should get around to that… someday.
So yesterday was my official First Day of Summer Running. And now I have a huge blister on my ankle. It’s a good excuse to walk everywhere barefoot, though, which is nice.
You guys remember how my friends and I are going to flock Aaron, right? So we had to find out if he has motion sensitive lights in his yard and stuff like that. Which it turns out he does. Basically everything we asked him he said yes to, so our mission will have to be completely silent and very stealthy. It should be very fun… I hope. I fear failure.
Capt. Cockatiel, i wrote down all the books you said and they all sound good. i haven’t heard of any of them. im reluctant to running. (i have the least blisetrs in my house because of that) Ahsley never stops. im always joking about it though.
Demensiona, i know you wrote this a long time a go but you said you had the song Within Temptation. how long is it? because mine is 6 minutes long and i was wondering if that is really how long it is.
i am reading the 1-800-Where-Are-You books by Meg Cobot (i think thats hoe you spell it) they are kind of funny.
ImInLoveWithJonathan, i have read Vampire Kisses. i didn’t read the second one though, Jess did. i read it right after i read Twilight. that wasn’t such a good idea because evry book sounds bad rightafter youve read Twiligt. but tha is just my opinion.
Jess keeps telling me i talk to more people here than i do my own friends. it kind of makes me feel bad because i try to write on here every day but some days i don’t even talk to the people that i can see.
oooOOOooo *tries to be stealthy…works for about 5 seconds…falls on face and sets of every alarm possible.* *DRAT!* that would be me trying to be stealthy. I would be better at it if it wasn’t for the fact that i can’t walk across a flat surface without falling on my face. (or at least tripping and ALMOST falling on my face)
capt. cockatiel- i have a “suggestion” for you(ok… more like… demand) READ THE REST OF THEM!!!!!! READ TTTTTHHHHHEEEEEMMMMM!!!!! (tehehehehehe) good luck with your steathy plans
Ha ha, thanks. My friend Sophie wants us to cut the power to his house so that the lights won’t come on. Maybe I’ll read them… I’m on my 18th book now. It’s The Nature of Jade by… I don’t remember. It takes place in Seattle, so I figured I’d read it. It’s quite good, actually.
Well first off, I have to say a VERY VERY belated Happy Birthday to Edward Anthony Masen Cullen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(June.20th)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HI GUYS!!!!!!!! WOW IT’S FAWESOME TO BE BACK!!!
(I’m glad I’m FINALLY settled in in Phoenix, AZ!).
Hi Sarah! Fawesome on the “Probably”! And I know, I fate laptops(The mouse drives me frazy)!
Hi capt.cockatiel!Yep creativity and imagination are the key foundations for a fawesome school.Ugh, and shoving freally fannoys me.Oh you live in seattle? Oh my gosh that’s SO fool!
Oh and I’ve never READ “Blood and Chocolate,” but I watched the movie yesterday, and it was fotally fawesome!And wow capt.cockatiel, you’re surely a fast reader!
Hi rae!Haha, my mom was totally turned off by the cover of TLD!
Hi Katie!I’m going to try to STRING out reading Eclipse, as much as I can( I HOPE that Eclipse will take me at LEAST a week/ but I know it won’t!)! Yep “Looking for Alaska” was fotally funny at parts/I’m glad you’ve finished it though, that’s fawesome!
And I can defintely read Twilight/New Moon, over and over again…! And hmm, actually, I’m not sure if MY “Within Temptation” is 6 minutes because I don’t think I’ve actually sat through the WHOLE song, haha! But I believe my version’s around 4 minutes, or possibly 6 minutes as yours is. And I’ve only read the 2nd book in that series “1-800-Where Are You” by Meg Cabot. The 2nd book, “When Lightening Strikes,” was pretty entertaining(I just wish that I’d discovered that it was the SECOND book of the series before I finished it(haha))!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Yay Eclipse!Yeah there’s supposed to be a signing in the Phoenix area on August 18th, which is fotally fawesome for me!
Oh my gosh ,yes! Wasn’t Everlost good? I’ll never look at a coin the same way again, haha(That part was sweet)!The concept(s) presented in the book were fawesome! I can’t wait for the movie(comes out my graduation year/2009)
(I picture Emily Browning as Mary).
Marked? Hmm, I’ve never heard of it, but I heard VAMPIRES, so I’m fotally reading it!But I’ve seen Vampire Kisses, but I thought the books were too short/but I’m guessing now that they’re worth it. And “His Dark Materials Trilogy,” sounds SO familiar, it was fawesome?
And fool on The Golden Compass movie.. THIS YEAR?!
Well I guess I’m going to finish reading “A Great And Terrible Beauty,”(Yay movie), “Tantalize”, “Tithe”(Fawesome cover/VERY different from the one in book stores)and skip around the pages of New Moon!
And I might watch “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” or “The Covenant” again.
So bye guys!
hey Demensiona! have you read so yesterday yet?? i’m in the middle!?! sortof, anyhoo any clue how to get a copy of evolutions darling?”?? let me know! well l8er!
Rae: So Yesterday is my favorite book! I’ve read it ten times! I’ve only ever seen one copy of Evolution’s Darling in a bookstore. Could you get it at the library?
Demensiona: He he, yeah, Seattle is an interesting place…
Demensiona, “When Lightning Strikes” is actually the first one. unless i am getting something wrong. “Code Name Cassandra” is the second one. the third one “Safe House” was good too. i haven’t read the fourth and im pretty sure last one yet. i did something reallky stupid. when i went to the library a few weeks ago to get these books, i knew exactly which ones i wanted. i had them all in my habd, well i guess not all of them because i forgot the last one in the series “Sanctuary”. i saw it and i thought i grabbed it, but i guess i didn’t. so i called the libray to day to hold it so i could go pick it up, but instead of calling the downtownlibrary, where i saw it first, i called the one by my house. which was a mistake because they don’t have it so now i have to wait for it. when they call for me to pick it up i am going to order (because i know they won’t have them) the books that Capt. Cockatiel mentioned.
i’ve never read vampire kisses but i was thinking of it. (they do look awfully short) yes the his dark materials books were VERY good. I can’t wait for the movie. DECEMBER 7TH!!!!! speaking of movie… everlost… MOVIE?!?!?!?! *gasps* so excited!!!!! I kind of pictured MAry as this girl from my school who was always… Mary-ish. Fotally annoying. that’s why i didnt like mary.
wait a minunte!!!! look what i found on this one website: The first in the children’s series, Universal is hoping Everlost could blossom into a franchise. No word on a production schedule.
does this mean there will be more in the everlost books? i thought there should be more of them but i didnt want to get my hopes up.
yeah some of my favorite books came 2 and end this year and in ’06 sad sad story
for Eclipse, if i pre order it and it comes out early (it could happen and hopefully it does), will it come to me early? jsut a question ive been thinking about.
Everlost is going to be a movie?! This is perfect! I should go look it up…
hmm.. library.. wow i usually just buy books.. i guess i should have thought of that *HA* i slay me *tee hee*
I never get to buy books! But at my library if you read three books and write three extremely short reviews you get a free book to keep… that’s how I get all my books. Sad, but true.
man i wish my library had that! although, then their young adult section would be even more miniscule than it is now. so maybe its for the best. *sniff*
I have that borders rewards card and everytime you spend $100 or $150 (something like that) over the course of a month you get a $10 gift card. I got one last month and i was like no way i spent that much on books in one month…. but i did. where i got the money on the other hand no idea. (probably gift cards)
The YA section at my library is pretty big. But over half of it is magazines, I think.
I never buy books at Borders (ok, I do sometimes, but like once a year). I get my books from an independent bookstore downtown.
i only ever go to Boorders (when i buy books, which isn’t much because i never have money) i don’t know why. i just like it better tere. i started saving up for Eclipse 2 months before because i know i will never keep the money if i don’t start saving early. i want to buy those books so i can read them again and not have to give then back.
i’m sad. :'( (note my crying smilie face.) i was going to get the pendragon books #1-5 on ebay because really didn’t feel like spending over $40 on them but i lost. *cry* now i’ll just have to save up to get them. WAAAAAAAAAAA
Hello!!!
Hi rae! YES I’ve read SO YESTERDAY! It was totally fawesome! ( And I loved the characters/and the setting)!And you can buy “Evolution’s Darling” off of Amazon.
But I must say that it was the FIRST book that I’ve never finished due to lack of understanding. When I was reading it, I had to literally sit down with my dictionary cracked open/I had to go on wikipedia a couple of times.
But I have one question(Scott?), “PLEASE tell me that Darling was ALWAYS essentially male!”-because if not..wow. Hmm maybe I should try to read again when I’m older so that I can BETTER understand the concepts. Because gee Scott, you
F O T A L L Y fried my brain w/ that one!Haha(but that’s just me)!
Hi capt.cockatiel!I’ve never seen “Evolution’s Darling” in a bookstore or a library/ I bought it on amazon. Yeah Seattle must be fawesome! And YES an Everlost movie!!! I can’t wait! And fotally fool library!
Hi Katie!”When Lightening Strikes” is the FIRST book?Hmm.. I guess I am on track then, yay!
-And on the pre-order thing, well first of all, they’ll inform you online if the book will be released on an earlier date.And I would think that you would recieve the book like a couple of days AFTER the release date of Eclipse/ but I don’t know, I’ve never pre-ordered anything(yet!), so I’m not so sure.
-And yeah, that’s the downfall of borrowing books(I usually LATER end up buying the books that I’ve read from libraries)!
Hi Sarah!Yeah I FATE when series end!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Fawesome on “His Dark Materials”!And haha, Mary WAS kind of annoying though!(But I still wish that the characters had been a LITTLE older, but that’s okay)!And a continuation? Well if there is, I wouldn’t know about it, but that would be totally fool! And I’ve only been to Borders once. I usually go to Barnes and Noble or I order books off of Amazon.
Bye guys!
Oh, ImInLoveWithJonathan, I didn’t see your latest comment. Yeah I freaking FATE when something like that happens. How can they put a price on a BOOK(s)!
I want to buy the like the book recording of Twilight, but I ‘m going to have to save up too!!!
Gee this sucks!
demensiona hate dat its so annoyin and pointless really annoying ttyl
i checked on the internet (after waitning for half an hour to load) iuf “When Lightinhg Strikes” is the first one. i just wanted to make sure and it is. and Sanctuary isn’t the last one. there is a fith called “missing” but im not sure if its out yet. it probably is but im not sure because it didn’t have a date . i will probaly just pre-order Eclipse any way because no body is going to take me every day to borders to see if they have it i will probably just keeep checking on the internet though.
one question i forgot to add earlier. has anybogy else seen the quote of the day Stephenie Meyer has on her web site? they are really fool! they don’t give away much and i think they get deleted after on day but i like them. they are taken right out of the book!(well duh it’s for Eclipse)
Yeah, I saw them! It’s making me sad, though, because I haven’t gotten to read the first chapter and now she has these random quotes from the rest of the book. I feel so behind.
That first comment contest is killing me. I see the new post for the first time and there are 122 comments already. I am so not going to win.
Hi! (I guess I’m going to have to see fireworks from my bedroom window tonight, haha! It’s fotally hot!(116))
Hi Sarah! Yep, it’s fotally fannoying!
Hi Katie! Thanks on the 1-800-Where Are You info! Yep I fotally half to pre-order Eclipse because I’m freaking out!Or I might see if I can reserve a copy at Barnes and Noble(there’s like one on every corner, Yay)!
-And YES I’ve read the quotes! I’m recording them in my “Bella Transformation” Journal, hehehe(I told you that I was obsessed)!And I think the first qoute didn’t tell much but Renee’s kind of did. I’m given the impression that she’s/she’ll except the engagement!
Hi capt.cockatiel! You’re not really far behind, the first chapter really acted as a recap;Establishing character roles/relationships and tensions.So don’t worry, save yourself from the WORSENING of anticipation!
And I know!I’m NEVER going to win that comment contest! We live on the West coast so like almost everyone else has like 3 hours on us! That’s so unfair!
Haha, bye guys!
fotally annoying …. demensiona just wake up at like 4 in the morning or something 😀
I just finished the video for Aaron. We are flocking him tomorrow night at almost eleven. This is going to rock (unless we get caught…)!
Demensiona: I know, the three hours are so unfair. We should do something about this…
I bought a book today. It’s pretty good so far. It’s called Parrotfish by Ellen Wittlinger. Not only is it a good story, but it has cool parrotfish on the front!
I had to buy it at Borders (ah!) and whenever I go there they are giving out free samples of drinks and stuff. As if I would want a drink while looking at books. The guy passing out the drinks came over to me, called me ma’am (what? I’m fourteen!) and was staring off into space creepily as he spoke to me. It has got to be the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me at a bookstore. And then I was laughing at something they were announcing in the store (they said to reserve the Harry Potter book now “for the potterphile in your life!”) and the same guy looked at me like I was insane. I never want to go to Borders again. But Potterphile? What’s not to laugh about? That is the most obsurd thing I’ve ever heard!
potterphile? that is pretty funny. i myself am a self proclaimed (and by everyone who knows me) bibliophile. Ebay is now on my good side again because i won a locket that looks like the apple on the cover of twilight. I wanted it because of this. tehehehe.
Yes! Bibliophiles unite!
whooooooooooo! are you sitting here refreshing the westerblog a million times to win the extras thing? thats what im doing. lol.
Capt. Cockatiel, the quotes have absolutly nothing to do with the first chapter in the book. (and the first chapter doesn’t tell you much that you don’t already know.) i have the phone by me right now waiting for the libeay to call. i went there earlier to see if they had it and didn’t call yet and they had a rack of ooks they didn’t go through yet. and i was so mad that the lady wouldn’t just look through the rack to see if it is in ther. it is forrible thinking that it is in i just have to wait for them to call. and it could not even be in there. UGHH!!!!!!!!
oh, in case you don’t know what im talking about, its the book ive been waiting for ever for (actually only 3 days, but that is a long time) called Sanctuary by Meg Cabot.
Privet!
Hi Sarah! Hmm, fawesome advice!
Hi capt.cockatiel! I hope all goes well! And yep, we should definetely do something about the time zones! And Parrotfish?Hmm, I’m intrigued!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!lol on your contest tactics!
And hi Katie! Sanctuary by Meg Cabot? Hmm.. the title sounds interesting enough to me!
-Hey have you guys read the book “A Certain Slant of Light” by Laura Whitcomb? I’ve read some of it off of Amazon, it seems fawesome! And this is random, but I really like Mandy Moore’s new CD, “Wild Hope”!
Bye!
Demensiona, i have never heard of that book. but i am writting it down right now.
u no i waz just kidding right u could set ur computer to like alarm when scott blogs something new or somethin idk
im sooooo bored without a book to read in between the library trips. i ran out of books!!!!! in exactly 8 minutes Supernatural will be on. but that is only for an hour. and tomarrow i have to sevre a funeral. today is probably the first day i have been less entusiastic about helping in the church. it could have something to do with the fact that i don’t necissarily like the people im serving it with. i complain tooo much.
wait sarah- is that possible? i so want to learn how to do that. i’ve been sitting here refresh refresh refresh refresh then my friend came over so were doing this thing called the impossible quiz on idictinggames.com soooooo hard. i got up to 56 and we cant get past that.
ImInLoveWithJonathan- my sister jess plays that quiz alot. and now i am avout to tell you all a TRUE story that hgappened today (everything in this story is true)
ImInLoveWithJonathan- my sister jess plays that quiz alot. and now i am avout to tell you all a TRUE story that hgappened today (everything in this story is true)
Ome day, a girl did a good deed for her church and served a funeral with her sister. After the funeral, the girl went to get her BORROWED cell phone (because she does not own one much to her dismay) and found that her bag was open. Thinking this is very odd, she looks into the bag for the cell phone. And it is not in there. At first she thinks her sister is being mean because she knows that she will freak out. So she goes and finds her sister, only to see that her sister does NOT have the phone. Again she thinks this is very odd because there was a MP3 player (which was turned on to show the last song she listened to MY Turniquet by Evanescence) and a $20 bill, lots of change, phone numbers, and a library card in side that was not taken. Only the phone is missing. She and her sister look all over for the cell phone and still cannot find it. Later they decide it was stolen. They also decided that someone is not afraid of going down there where it is VERY hot. That is one sin that one would probably NOT confess.
as i said this story is entirely true and teaches one lesson: NEVER LEAVE YOUR THINGS IN A CHURCH. odd lesson isn’t it. you would think that at a CHURCH in a PRIVATE school that you would be able to put something in there without having in stolen. and to add to this forrible turn in events, THE LIBRARY STILL HASN’T CALLED YET. i complain too much.
HEY it sent it and i hadn’t finished yet. darn computer.
Hello!
Hi Sarah! Yeah I know you were kidding/ I’d never be able to wake up at 4 in the morning and somebody on the East coast would STILL probably beat me to it. So I think it’s a pretty lost cause. But alarm on your computer/is that a joke too? Because if not fawesome! But it probably wouldn’t help me because I’m a pretty sound sleeper!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!
Hi Katie! Yep “A Certain Slant of Light’s” has fawesome concepts. And I kind of gave up on supernatural this season after the episode w/ the little girl and her “imaginary” friend. I didn’t like how they were making Dean out to be some kind of monster/so not fool! Haha, see? I complain a lot too/ it’s healthy every once in a while!
Oh my gosh on the church/cell phone incident! How sinful is it to disobey the eight commandment in the house of God/on holy grounds? Simply sinful! But are you sure the cell phone isn’t lying under a pew or something?(I’m trying to stay positive/haha)!
-But ironic that your MP3 player was tuned to My Tourniquet!I love that song(when listening to the ending instrumental part of the song/ I always imagine Bella cliff diving!)!Have you heard Evanescence’s “Field of Innocence?” It’s fawesome!
-And my computer’s driving me finsane too!
-Hey and wasn’t the Eclipse qoute of the day fawesome today?! Wow!
Bye!
if you would like to be in the scott westerfeld chatroom, im me at dessimetrics13. the chatroom is called ObsessiveRefreshers.
on the alarm thing 2 every1 i dont no how 2 do it but ive heard u can do it just go 2 like a store that carries computers and ask a technician or something
if you would like to be invited in please go to the first page of extras post and comment w/ your screen name. one of the obsessed refreshers will invite you in.
Demensiona: I read A Certain Slant of Light. I won it now, actually. Really, really good.
So apparently, by Scott’s notes on when he posts, on west coast time his posts would come up from 5PM to 8PM. Yeah, I think that’s right (at least, for PST it is). WEST COASTERS SHALL MONOPOLIZE THE CONTEST! Or not.
Ha ha. Last night we flocked Aaron and everything went perfectly. We even hung flamingos from the tree right outside his window (which was open, and the light was on in there). It was hilarious. There were about twenty flamingos in all.
awesome capt. cockatiel did he like it
Demensiona, the phone would not be under a pew because it was in a small room (the Sacristy) with the door open. whenever we do masses everybody always puts thier stuff in the Sacristy and the door is always open. so anyone who goes to my Church would know that. they would also know that my church never locks thier doors when some one is in there. so anybody could get in and taken anything. this is the first time i have heard of anything like that at my Church though. there was a lot more expensive stuff in the church because obviously there is a lot of gold and things like that and i have never heard of anything like that being taken. it was a big funeral though so someone at the mass could have taken it. but i guess there is nothing we can do now. and i agree with you that they do kind of make Dean sound like a monster but they make up for that later. at the end of the season when the yellow eyed demon takes Sam and some of the other people who went missing (like Ava and that guy who could plant suggestions in peoples head, i can’t remember his name i just remember what he could do and that he was a perv) and says that the last one to ive will win and kind of juices it up. to make a long story short Sam was one of the last two to die. the other guy stabbed him to death in front of Dean, Dean refuses to beleive Sam is dead, when he finaly comes to he mahes a deal with the devil. he says that he will die in one year if Sam lives. Sam comes back, Sam and Dean save the world, and at the end of the show (of the season) they are walking toward that black car thinking of a way to get Dean out of his little (actually big) mess. Sam is mad that Deam would trade his life for Sam’s. i think it is father like son because the dad gave up his life for Dean.
i am always remembering something Bella or Edward did when im listening to Evanescence. especially Before the Dawn. have you heard that song? (i think i asked that before.) i have not heard of that song (Field of Innocence) i am going to down load it on my MP3 after i finish writting this.
Capt. Cockatiel, good that your surprize for your friend worked. i hope he liked it!
i just relized one more thing i do easily on here: Complain. i have prblems with doing that with my friends at school. and i got annoyed with the library so i called again to see if they have my book ( they probably think i am paranoid now), and someone has it and it is due on the tenth so i have nothing to read in the mean time and i can’t go to the library and get another stack of books when i wil just go again to get another stack when it comes in. and that first stack probably hasn’t yet been either finished or turned in. ughh! complaining again. i have problems.
with my spelling too.
Hello!
Hi Sarah!Noted on the alarm!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Chatroom? Fool! So we use our screename from the Westerboard?Well since the chatroom is called “Obsessive Refreshers,” I guess I don’t have to pull a Dateline NBC To Catch a Predator, haha!(Gee I love that show, it’s hilarious!). So okay, if I do have a chance to get on, my screename’s:
DREAMGATHERER!
Hi capt.cockatiel! So “A Certain Slant of Light” was good, fawesome! I’m fotally glad that everything went fool for Aaron’ party!
And no you’re right, we West Coasters are definetly going to monopolize the contest, haha!(who isn’t?)!
Hi Katie! Oh it was in the Sacristy? Hmm.. wow, I can’t imagine why someone would steal a cell phone during a funeral, hmm…
-That’s a shame.
And yeah I’ve heard Before the Dawn, but I deleted it accidently on limewire and I can’t find it anymore. Oh and “Grieving for you” fotally goes w/ Twilight too. And have you heard the song “Twilight” and “Half a Week before the Winter” by Vanessa Carlton?Fotally goes as well!
-And complaining and spelling errors are completely healthy. It reminds everyone that you’re human, haha!
OH MY GOSH DID YOU GUYS READ THE ECLIPSE QUOTE OF THE DAY?!!!!!!!!!CAN YOU SAY THAT “BELLA’S A VAMPIRE”!!!
-Or that’s just what I’m inferring, fool!
Bye!
Demensiona, Jess said the same thing and i don’t get why? i am writting the quotes now so when the book comes out, i am going to read with a note book next to me and write what pages the quotes are on.
whenever i turn a page in “Daniel Half Human” i hear barking. them darn dogs are back! luckily they are only staying until sunday.
i wish you could see the quotes from before.
i can’t find them
Demensiona- I thought the ‘going crazy’ from the quote of the day was when she heard Edward’s voice in her head from new moon?
allichie, even though you asked Demensiona, i think i have the answer. Bella says she went crazy once and she knows what her limits are, so that probably means that something like that will happen again. but i don’t know for sure.
Someone asked (way up there) if Aaron liked the flamingos and the movie. The answer is, in short, yes. Though he thinks we’re mildly crazy. (Ok, more than mildly. He thinks we’re insane, but he liked the movie a lot.)
Now I’m mad because the 1st chapter of Eclipse is up on Stephenie Meyer’s website but I can’t look at it. It’s not working at the moment, even though it should. Like, I have all the stuff you need to view it. But, no! I have to wait longer!
Hello
I can’t be bothered with anything these days, but shrug. I just don’t have anything to say recently.
G’night
Hello!
Hi Katie!Oh really, Jess said the same thing? Fawesome! Oh and you’re missing quotes? I’ve written them all down so just tell me which dates you’re missing.And the dogs are back? Haha, how fun!
Hi allichie!I didn’t infer that Bella was refering to the voices in her head because why would she INFORM the others of this(“Here’s the thing”) when they already know? And I don’t think that’s she’s placed limitations upon herself revolving around the incident w/ the voices. In addition the voices were RECURRING(“..I’ve already gone crazy ONCE.”).
-But that’s just strickly what I believe, I could be fotally wrong!
Hi tihopilik!
Hi capt.cockatiel! Trust me, I’d wait/ the anticipation is driving me finsane!
And did you guys read the Eclipse quote of the day?(I know this might sound wierd and random, but Angela’s one of my favorite characters!)
So WHAT DO YOU GUYS INFER TODAY?(Maybe some conflict revolving around a BACHELORETTE party? Haha, I don’t know!).
-Bye guys!
im bored is any1 else bored
Demensiona, i just started writting down the quotes since the 7th, buty it doesn’t matter because i am only finding the pages they are on for fun. and the dogs just left, i now have my quiet back again. i liked Angela too. my older sister Ash has a friend named Angela (and the description fits too!) all morning Jess and i have been painting our room (we have to share, but it is fairly big. it is a dormer room, and is the size of the house, but the walls are slanted and there is that bumpy stuff.) i kind of hurts your hands. but we were listening to Evanescence while we did it so it wasn’t that bad.
Ooh, I read the first chapter of Eclipse. So far the excitement and anticipation haven’t really kicked in. I mean, I want to know what happens next but not enough happened in that first chapter to make me go insane with anticipation.
I’m reading Marked. Who told us all to read that? I don’t remember. It’s really, really good, though.
Capt. cokatiel, i didn’t really go insane waiting for the book until i couldn’t find any thing to read or when i just finished New Moon. the quotes are making me really excited though. at the end of the month i am going to reread both books. sometimes a book doesn’t seem as good if i don’t reread the books that came before because i forget stuff that happened and are mentioned. i don’t think that will happen with Eclipse, but they are just so good i want to reread them again anyway.
sorry i spelled your name wrong *Capt.Cockatiel*
i read the part in Stephenie Meyer’s website that says that Summit might do the Twilight movie. i like how it said that they came up with a contract that will protect the story.
Hi guys!
Hi Sarah! Yep I’m so bored that I’m about to read New Moon again!
Hi Katie!Yep, silence is gold! And yeah, Angela’s fotally fawesome! And Evanescence DOES heal wounds/What color are you guys painting the walls?!And I love the movie news too!
Hi capt.cockatiel!Anticipation arosed for me because I’m infering from the chapter that this novel is going to be pretty thick(which is great for me)! And I love the thoughts of the whole college scene! Fotally fawesome!

Demensiona, we are painting the walls sugar cookie. (with the pricly stuff, it looks like we threw a bunch of cookie crumbles on the wall.) we did that color that way as we get older and our intrests change, we won’t be begging to repaint. besides, i like things simple.
im sooo happy now that the first chapter of Eclipse is on her website. now i don’t have to go to borders when i want to read new stuff about Edward and Bella.
something i just realized when we were painting to day. just like My Turniquet, Going Under reminds me of Bella cliff diving.
for todays quote on the Stephenie Meyer website, i wonder what Edward is reacting so human to?
hey…. its katie and her twin jess!!!!!!
the reason i liked the sugar cookie color 4 the walls is cuz i lik black and she liks pink… so it wrkd wit the beige color… as u can probly tell katie is NOT typing… her twin is so if u cant read ths just ask her ltr shell translate… i 2 read the scott w books and stephenie m books… actually with out me y’all wouldnt b talkin 2 katie cuz im the 1 tht found thees books… (she is sittin nxt 2 me and im makin her mad… hehehehehehehe) sooooooooooo………………. mayb u can guess im the obnoxious 1… im also higher on the social laddr… but i dnt care bout tht cuz im a geek lik my sis (who i dnt lik sis much by the way 2 bad we gotta share a room) wellllll a bit about me cuz im bored…….. i lik 2 read ALOT (according 2 katie lik all of u) i lik Fall Out Boy, Evanescence, and The Academy Is… im also gettin into Cobra Starship (music) i lik to run (cross country)talk/flirt wit boys… Dance and hopfully soon play piano… but my mom dsnt wanna sign me up 4 classes cuz my oldr sis ash ddnt lik it othr wise i would known how to play already…. tried tellin mom im not lik ash… but i dnt kno wat is goin on ther… katie is sittin here lecturin me so im gonna go… by the way… we’re waitin 4 tht new moon playlist… u had som good sngs on ther 4 twilight (demensiona) im thnkin 7 minutes in heaven (atavan halen) 4 new moon its by Fall Out Boy the atavan halen prt is the version by the way cuz ther r lik 2 i dnt lik the othr 1 tho oh well seeya!
Hi twins!
Hi Katie! Hmm, the walls must add a nice effect, and a neutral color is always smart!
“Going Under” for the cliff diving part?Hmm I’ve never thought about it but now that you’ve mentioned it, the song fotally goes as well!
Oh and I believe that Edwards human reaction is do to some conflict revolving around a certain BACHERLORETTE party!
Hi Jess!!!!Fawesome!Yeah, you’re pretty distinctly different from Katie! Fool! Individuality’s the key!And hey thanks on the playlist, I should be posting my New Moon playlist a little later on today once I’ve worked out the kinks!
-Gee and I just found out that I start school on AUGUST 8th! That gives me like ONE day to read Eclipse!!VERY possible, but gee!
Oh and the Eclipse quote of the day is FOTALLY FAWESOME!Who was Bella fighting w/? Jessica, Lauren?!!!!!!!!!
-Oh my gosh, I’m starting to think that Eclipse is going to end up being my favorite book of the series!
-Bye Twins!
ok. you people are now going to look at me now like im retarded but where are you finding these eclipse quotes? i cant find them! (i’m technologiclly challenged. and pretty much with everything else.)
i just found the cutest song for some reason it reminds me of bella and edwards relationship. its called vulnerable by secondhand serenade. it seems to fit perfectly with the first time they are sitting in the glade/clearing thing. when bella is tracing his veins and such. which bring s me to a question, when you become a vampire didnt it say your heart stops? and then so would your blood. which would mean that you wouldnt be able to see blood pulsing through his blue veins. i’ve always wondered about that part.
ImInLoveWithJonathan, when you go on Stephenie’s site click on the news link and it should be at the top.
Demensiona, the walls certainly do have a nice affect, except when you hit your head on it.
now that you say that about the bacherlorette party, i can’t wait for the book. ITS DRIVING ME INSANE!
me and Jess’s intrests don’t differ much, its our friends that do. (i am socially challenged when it comes to talking to boys, Jessie is flirting all the time. it is this that gives her a bunch of popular friends while im stuck in the same small circle of friends ive had since 1st grade. that is about two people. i think thats why i talk on here alot.) i also find that popular people are mean. i can’t be mean. (i still feel bad about something i said to a girl i didn’t like in 6th grade, and i still don’t like her)
i think it’s funny when people say hi twins and by twins. Jess hates it. i think its funny because people don’t say hi twins and by twins to everybody. Jessie finds it embarassing. (just in case im confusing anybody, Jess, Jessie and, Jessica are all the same person.)
i hope Bella is fighting with Lauren, she is my least favorite character in the book. Twilight is my favorite series so far. i don’t know. i have problems having favorites because then i think of something else i lke and can’t decide which i like best.
i have taken to proof-reading before i send. i thinki take longer fixing things than typing them. but i still don’t find everything.
its amazing how bored i feel when there is nothing to read on this. im never like this when im on the phone. sometimes i wish they would just hang up so i could read. but i have nothing to read. the people i talk to on the phone usually don’t care about my books. one does sometimes, but i only talk to two people on the phone. im bored, and im boring.
Hello!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! No you’re not retarded, the quotes are on Stephenie Meyer’s website like Katie said. And if you want, I can post the quotes that you’re missing!
Vulnerable by Secondhand Serenade? Well I’m definetly going to be listening to that!
-Oh and to answer your vampire question(s), yes the heart does stop/the vampire’s blood is drained out during their after their first year as a vampire. Their blood is replaced by thick venom. The only blood circulating through the vampire’s veins, is blood from their prey.
Hi Katie!lol on the wall incidents!Oh I’m sorry if that bothered you guys, I just always call my younger sisters, “The Twins.”(Sorry, just from habit). My mom used to dress one of my older sisters and I in matching clothes, and we aren’t even twins! We fated it!
But yep Twilight is my favorite series now.Yeah I’m only guessing that there was a conflict w/ a bachelorette party, and I fate Lauren too! And if YOU’RE boring, then I’m as well!Haha!

Demensiona, your play lists are reminding me of when I made a CD to go along with a book that my friend and I wrote together. It was really hard because I didn’t use to listen to the radio so I had to start. Now we’re coming up with songs that remind us of the sequel that we’re writing while we’re writing it, instead of afterwards.
Demensiona, the twin thing doesn’t bother me. i think its funny. Jess just wants to be difficult with people. (she confuses everybody when they ask if were twins. she says, “no we were just born on the same day.” and then they walk away looking like idiots.) she won’t admit it, but Jess likes being called the twins too. she likes being different.
last night Jess read the part when you said that Edward could be reacting to a bachelorette party and started that giggle that works up into a really loud shreiking scream, and my parents are upstairs sleeping, so at last minute i flung my hand over her mouth. AND SHE BIT IT! and did a half scream. at least we didn’t get in trouble. if it was the whole scream we would have been in big trouble. at least she said sorry, and she didn’t bite hard. i was just surprized. she is NUTS!
Hello!
Hi Capt.Cockatiel! Oh my playlist reminds you of your CD that you made for your book? Fawesome! And a sequel? Wait, what’s your books about?!
Hi Katie!Oh Jess likes being different, that’s understandable. Are you guys indentical? And it sounds like its fun being a twin!
-And Haha oops, I guess I’m sorry then about the bacherlorette party comment!How’s your hand?
Bye!
erm… wow eclipse quote of the days kinda scary: “Does my being half-naked bother you?†— Jacob
Hey demensiona, I like your playlists
and you’re right ImInLoveWithJonathan, the quote of the day is kinda weird
and Katie:hahahahaha! one time I tried to shut my sister up by doing that and she LICKS my hand(gross)
Hello!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! What’s scary about that?!Sounds fotally hot to me!! Haha!
Hi allichie!Thanks on my playlists!And haha, sisters, you’ve got to love them!
Bye!
hahahahaha true. jacob- half nacked. hmm… sorry ron weasly and edward are more my type. totally different but what can i say? rupert grints hot. sorry. ♥ him.
lol. jk im not obsessed. with ron anyway…
Edward is every girl’s type
Edward is every girls type like im picky with boys and when i read about Edward i waz like OMG he is so my type 😀
Hello!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Yep, true! But no, Edward’s F O T A L L Y my type!Jake’s really hot though!
I’m F A B S O L U T E L Y
obssesed w/ Edward Anthony Masen Cullen!
Hi allichie!Yes! Edward is EVERY girl’s type!
Hi Sarah! Fotally agree!Hey what actor do you think comes CLOSE to Edward’s looks? My money’s on Drew Fuller! Gee he’s hot! I hope he’s casted as Edward for the Twilight movie!
Bye!
Demensiona: The book is about, um, a prophecy and, er, four kids. I don’t know. You can read it at http://www.fictionpress.com/~shadowsinthefire it’s called A Summer Story.
Demensiona, I have to agree, Jake’s hot!
But Edward is the perfect guy and I’m obsessed with him too!
It was way past midnight. My parents were asleep. Most the lights were off. I was alone. Moz was playing his fabulous Stratocaster as I pinned my eyes to the page, wincing with reluctant anticipation for Moz to finally snap. And right when I couldn’t take it any longer, it happened. Down went the Strat, and the book flew against the wall with an agonizing thud. I knew it had to happen. I knew the Strat would die one day, but still it made me want to scream! So I let out a soft cry and made a terrible face. Then I clambered over to the wall feeling sorry for lobbing the book so ruthlessly, made an apology to it, and commenced again with my reading.
I’m frequengly finding myself fixing F’s on the fronts of words and then getting funny looks from people.
Hello!
Hi Capt.Cockatiel! Thanks! I’ll definetely check that story of yours out!
Hi allichie! Yep, Jake’s fotally fot!And the Edward obsession is steadily arising!
Hi Marflanda! Yep the death of the Strato was horrifying! And yeah, I receive the funny looks too, but it’s fotally fawesome!
-And I’m not really loving today’s Eclipse quote. Edward better not pull a New Moon again! I can’t handle it! I WON’T handle it!(Fight Bella, Fight)!
Haha, bye guys!
I kinda expect edward to say stuff like that
I was also sad when Moz broke the Strato but we all knew it was comming
ANYBODY! my computer had to go get cleaned out or whatever so i don’t have the 11th and the 12th quotes. ANYBODY! can anybody tell me what they are?
Demensiona, i fotally want Drew Fuller for Edward! i have been watching Army Wives for weeks just to see him grace the screens! he cut his hair though. it looked better in Charmed. jess and i are not identical, at least we don’t think so. we never actually had the test for it. and we don’t really care. but we don’t look to much alike (in ours and our friends and familys opinion) everyone else says we look identical. but that is usually only when jess has her glasses on (i have glasses, i hate them but i have to wear them unfortunatly, but im saving up for contacts. ive been working on getting my parents to buy them, ive been saying that i need contacts because i keep breaking my glasses, which i do.) jess doent have to wear hers all the time like i do. at least not yet. jess doesnt bite hard which is good for me. she used to when she was 2 though.
“Does my being half-naked bother you?†— Jacob
this is the quote of the day for the 11th
Hello!
Hi allichie!(And I’ve been meaning to ask you, is that your real name?/very pretty)! Haha and yeah, I agree! We all kind of expect Edward to say ostenacious stuff like that! And I think I just didn’t WANT to see the death of the strato coming!
Hi Katie!Ugh, I fate computer problems! And Drew Fuller definetely looks like Edward, he was so hot on…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg2krkFhFOU
-(And Drew Fuller’s on Army Wives?!)
-And fawesome, the whole identical/faternal thing shouldn’t matter.
-And Jess must have been a true Sunny(Series of Unfortunate Events) when she was younger!
The 7/12/07 Quote is:”Do you ever think that your life might be easier if you weren’t in love with me?”
-(Edward better not pull a New Moon again! I can’t handle it! I WON’T handle it!(Fight Bella, Fight)!
-(And just in case):
The 7/13/07
“I already KNOW how strong you are. You didn’t have to break the furniture.”-Bella Swan
-(Totally hot and comical!)
7/14/07
“Would you like to hear my story, Bella? It doesn’t have a happy ending-but which of ours does?If we had happy endings, we’d all be under gravestones now.”-Rosalie Hale
-(Feck yeah I want to hear your story Rosalie! What do you think happened to her?)
Bye!
no, It’s not my real name, It’s a nickname,
my best friend made it up becaue I needed I name for bowling(hahahaha) and it just stuck, my real name’s Allison
Drew Fuller’s hot, he should play Edward
TELL US YOUR STORY ROSALIE!!!!!!!!
Demensiona, that video/link was removed ny the user. DARN! but ive seen other cute ones of him. Army Wives is on Lifetime every sunday at 9 i think. they usually have reruns on before the new ones.
Jess wants to say something:welll…. see im not sure bout that sunny thing cuz well im not quite sure wat i was lik at that age… as u can probly guess… but i can tell u tht i was and still am a very weird kid/person, oh yeah… who wouldnt be wen they have a twin ………….
THANKS FOR THE QUOTES!
im listening to Lithium by Evanescence, i have this problem with writting what i say. so i have been correcting my self when i keep typing Lithium.
UGH!!!!! it keeps telling me the page can’t be displayed. i know i have to click the refresh button but then every thing goes away that i just typed.
FINALLY!!!
by that quote (rosalie’s) i’m guessing shes going to be less of a snobby-bella-hater in eclipse.
i was rereading New Moon, and it was right after Edward left and it says “Suddenly, there was an other sound, startlingly close. A kind of snuffling, an animal sound. It sounded big. I wondered if i should feel afraid. I didn’t-just numb. It didn’t matter. The snuffling went away.” next paragraph, “‘Bella” the voice was deep and unfamiliar, but full of recognition. He wasn’t calling my name to search, he was acknowledging that i was found.
I stared up-impossibly high it seemed-at the dark face I could see now above me. I was vaguely aware that the stranger probanly only looked so tall because my head was still on the ground.” skip asking if she was hurt, “Bella, my name is Sam Uley.”
was the snuffling Sam, as warewolf. this is the first time ive reread that part again. it was so depressing i usually skip this part.
(jess this time) so like i just sat here and watched katie write her mile long question with 1 hand and thinking how bored i was and that it was my turn on the computr finally and she was taking over when the whole playlist thingy popped in my head … so i decided to put my favorite fall out boy/cobra starship/ the academy is… songs to the books… now not all of thm can be put to the books because not all of them appply but here goes (these are in the order of the songs on my mp3 that apply):
cobra starship “snakes on a plane”: now this one doesnt really have a book but i thnk it is an awsome song and should be put on the list
the academy is… “we’ve got a big mess on our hands”: new moon when bella and alice are going to get edward
fall out boy “grand theft autumn/where is your boy” new moon when jacob and bella become close in edwards abscence
fall out boy “golden” i dont know but im thinkin it should be either in scott westerfeld’s midnighters trilogy or in so yesterday somwhere… its a cool song tho … all piano and patricks voice
fall out boy “bang the doldrums” somwhere in twilight when edward and bella first start to fall in love… its sort of like a crazy love song that sounds like it should be in like a pirates movie but because edward and bella’s relationship is sorta crazy also i thought it sorta fit
fall out boy “pretty in punk” i thought this was a cool song for the begining of twilight since the song is sort of how things arnt always as they seem and it is the same for the way edward first acts towards bella
fall out boy “a little less sixteen candles, a little more touch me” this is for twilight and the way i wished that edward would just suck it up and try not to eat bella when he kissed her
fall out boy “7 minutes in heaven(atavan halen)” new moon after edward leaves bella and she is basically in a totally depressed state which is how pete wentz was when he wrote these songs
fall out boy ‘dance dance” just cause i thought it would be a good song for edward and bella with the whole “were falling apart to half time” deal… you know what i mean
(last one) gym class heroes “cupids chokehold” at the end of new moon when edward and bella are safely back in each others arms … (sigh)
that is not all the songs i wanted to add but im not real big on the whole book typin thng like katie gets into sometimes so like im gonna stop now… …. … … …. okay im really gonna stop NOW ; )
woooooooooowwwwwwwwwww i thnk i wrote alot more than katie in like half the time… girl needs typin lessons i guess…..
ok… so like i just read through the comments strting with demensiona and i have a couple of q’s…
1) you asked allison/allichie if that was her real name and i have to ask… is demensiona your real name? i thnk it totally rocks if it is by the way… when i grow up and mayb decide to have kids im gonna name on e desdemona if i have a girl… i think long names lik tht are totally awsome
2)doesnt it seem at all wierd to you that you people can have these lik totally weird conversations with out knowing each others real names, where they are, what they like, and what will offend them? i dont know…
– about the sunny thing… earlier i hadnt read ahead to what katie said about me so i dont thnk i answered the question correctly so what my real answer should be is that katie forgot to mention the time that she totaly bit our older sisters shoulder and made it bleed…………….. at least i stuck with my ankle biting twin for the most part… and about that whole wanting to be different thing… well its not just that but i hate stereotypes/ers so i like totally try to prove them wrong and stuff i dont know… i could be just wierd… which is also why im a little more sociable by the way… i embrace my geekyness (i dont know if that is a word but if it aint i totally just made it up) and katie isnt able to see that… i am also not really mean… i just like to use french/colorful words if you know what i mean (hint hint) and 1 more thing… totally, awsome, and gorgeous are like my fav. words… and seeing an f and the beginnig of totally is like totally awsome so like its sorta funny to me… i dont know im gonna go know
Hello!(It’s 9:20p.m. my time)
-Hi allichie!Oh ALLISON/I would’ve never guessed that!But no, it makes total sense now! Fawesome! Yep Drew Fuller’s FOTALLY hot!! And I agree, Rosalie’s been quiet for too long!
-Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!I infered Rosalie’s personality change after her apology to Bella in New Moon. Gee, I guess it takes guilt to change a person, hahaha!
-Hi Katie!Oh okay on the video!Ugh, Army Wives comes on at “9:00” on SUNDAY?(There’s a special on the findings of Cleopatra tomb on the discovery channel at 9:00 on Sunday. I guess I’ll be swifting between channels!). And you’re fotally welcome on the quotes! And the SONG Lithium is freally fawesome!
– And hmm, I’ve never really thought about that part in New Moon. I would ASSUME that it was Sam as a werewolf. Hmm.. finteresting!Yeah I need to reread New Moon again/but I’m going to try and wait till the last minute so it’ll be fresh in my mind. And the blank pages are the ones that kill me! I simply just choose to skip THOSE pages!
-Hi Jess!Awesome playlist.Gee you’re just like my oldest sister/total Fall Out Boy and Gym Class Hero fan(s)!I like how you provide like little footnotes to each song, fawesome!
-Oh and my real name isn’t DEMENSIONA, but thanks(It’s JASMINE). But I prefer Demensiona!And fawesome on Desdemona!
-And to answer your second question, most of us know our real names and where we’re from. I think that the whole experience is fotally fawesome!
-And biting/ a truly finteresting concept!And I believe that the word “geekyness” has fotally been adopted into our culture. I don’t particularly like the term “geek”, but I like the persona behind the label!
Bye!/Goodnight(haha)!
i named my fish desdemona and i really like that name but im hesitant to name a child that seeing as it means OF THE DEVIL! GAWD SCOTT! but it still the best name ever for her. even if it does insinuate shes a sadist.
“You aren’t exactly the best judge of what is or isn’t dangerous.”
— Edward Cullen
hahaha at quote of the day,
every time I listen to a song I try to think of how it would fit in to Twilight or New Moon
here’s part of my New Moon playlist:
“The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows” by Brand New, It just seems like a good beginning
“Papercut” by Linkin Park, when Bella gets cut by paper
“Things aren’t so Beautiful now” by A Thorn For Every Heart, self-exlainatory
“Our Work of Art” by Just Surrender, Edwards gone
“Pressure” by Paramore, Edward’s still gone
“Fix You” by Coldplay, When Jacob and Bella become friends
“Everywhere” by Michelle Branch, Bella Hears Edward’s voice
“Into The Ocean” by Blue October, when Bella dives off the cliff and almost dies
“No Sleep Tonight” by The Faders, Bella and Alice go after Edward
“Hyper Music” by Muse, I just had to include them
“Sound of Pulling Heaven Down” by Blue October, Edward realizes how much he means to Bella
“All These Things That I’ve Done” by the Killers
(there’s probably more but this is all I can think of right now)
as for the biting. yeah, i was 2! and just in case nobody noticed, i don’t think that any one here is 2. jess is not 2 and she is still biting!
i don’t know what im going to read when i finish New Monn. i don’t want to start another book and be reading it when Eclipse comes out. but i have to have a book. ill probably get a small book that i can read slow and have like a week left, and then SLOWLY reread New Moon again. and hopefully it comes out a day or two early.
Whoa. A names discussion. Interesting stuff goes on here when I’m gone. The funny thing with the internet is that sometimes you won’t know the real name of who you’re talking to and just assume their gender. Like most of the time people think I’m a guy. And I’m like, What?! It’s really weird.
Have any of you read Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist? I heard it was good so I got it from the library. I absolutely hate it. I couldn’t read it for very long before the characters started to annoy me. It was just so… weird. I’d never read anything by the authors, though, so I don’t know about either’s other books.
Hello!
Hi ImInloveWithJonathan!”Of the Devil?” Well I don’t think that Scott was intending THAT, haha! But no,Desdemona’s a fotally fawesome name!
Hi allichie! Love, Love, Love you’re playlist! “Papercut,” goes perfectly, and Paramore,Muse, and Brand New are fawesome!
Hi Katie! Oh yes, “The Terrible Twos,” haha! Hmm as for a light read, have you read any books by Gabrielle Zevin? If not, you should read either, “Elsewhere,” or “Margarettown”(A little more adult).
-Or “A Certain Slant of Light,” by Laura Whitcomb.
Hi capt.cockatiel!Well I BELIEVE that comments on Edwards looks would determine gender/I mean, I would THINK, haha!And no, I haven’t read that book, but I’m guessing I shouldn’t!
_______________________________________________
-Hey this is random, but if you were casting Mary Alice Braden Cullen, who would you choose:
Rachel Leigh Cook, or Danielle Harris?(I can’t pick)
And who would you cast as Mike Newton?(I can’t think of anybody).
-And last random comment, did you guys know that Emily Browning is going to be in the American remake of the Korean horror film, “A Tale of Two Sisters.” I just thought that was pretty fawesome/hopefully the hollywood buzz will influence the Twilight producers to cast Emily Browning as Bella!
Bye!
I just brought up the gender thing because it goes with the name topic.
ok… this is jess…
capt.c- i read nick and norah’s ip and was NOT impressd … its all in 1 night and the ending totally suckd so yeah i ddnt lik it eithr
demensiona- i read ‘a certain slant of light’ and absolutely loved it! ive been tryin 2 get katie 2 read it but shes been havin a bit harder of a tim gettin away frm authrs tht rnt stephenie meyer scott westerfeld and meg cabot so lik totally u gotta keep tellin her tht they cant write lik lighting and u gotta move on… i dnt thnk she gets it… anyways… i like the whole ’embrace your geekyness!’ thng 2 cuz wen u say it lik tht it totally doesnt sound lik ur makin fun of som1… just lik givin thm a compliment or whatevr … ya know? and u kno wat would b totally wasome is if som of u guys can get togethr wen ur all lik 20 er somin and lik officially meet fr the first tim… thn if u all bcom lik best friends or somin u could all thnk scott westerfeld and evrythng… tht would totally b kinda cool…
that would be kinda cool Jess if we could all meet, we all “embrace our geekyness” and we all love books
Hello!
Hi capt.cockatiel!Okay on the name/gender topic!
Hi Jess! Oh YOU”VE read “A Certain Slant of Light?!” That’s fawesome!Oh and thanks, I love to play w/ words.
Hi allichie! Yeah It’d be fotally fool to meet up one day in our twenties, and yeah haha, “Embrace our geekyness!” Yep that’d be fotally fawesome!It’s destined to happen!
-Bye guys!
good books while waiting for eclipse to come out: the magic or madness trilogy by justine larbalestier. (whooooo spelled her name right on the first try!) and boy proof by cecil castallucci (ok i think imurdered her name. sorry!)
Yeah! Boy Proof is really good. I just read Cecil Castellucci’s newest book, Beige, and that was really good, too.
Are any of you nerdfighters? Just thought I’d ask.
sorry, what’s a nerdfighter? Just thought I’d ask(hahaha)
has anyone read Looking For Alaska?
“I didn’t have quite the same…upbringing as my adopted siblings here. My beginning was something else entirely.†— Jasper Hale
quote of the day’s promising another story!
Hello!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Great titles! I’ve got to read them!
Hi capt.cockatiel! I’m guessing that I should DEFINETELY read Boy Proof now,and Beige?
Hi allichie!Haha, yeah I have the same question, what’s a nerdfighter capt.cockatiel?
And yes! I’m pretty sure that we’ve ALL read Looking For Alaska! And can you say fotally fawesome! That book really made me think! I can’t wait for the movie!
-And pretty fawesome Eclipse quote of the day! I’m just hoping that Twilightlexicon wasn’t a fotal spoiler zone!I want Jasper’s story to surprise me!
-Bye!
(jess) Hey, katie and i read looking for alaska too! i totally thought it was awsome – and funny- and the whole labryinth of suffering thing was pretty awsome- well not really … espeacially cuz of alaska’s solution 2 it… but it was totally a good question to bring up ya know… somin to thnk about … and i would REALLY like to know wat a nerdfighter is… sounds kinda cool but you nevr know… (hmmmm nerdfighters?????????)
You all MUST BECOME NERDFIGHTERS! So John Green (author of the amazingly good books Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines) and his brother Hank have been making a video blog all year long. They have no textual communication. The site is http://www.brotherhood2.com They’ve got themselves a large group of nerds over there fighting for thier… nerdiness? Basically us nerdfighters are fighting for nerds everywhere by combatting Worldsuck and other evils. I suggest checking it out at the site and exploring My Pants (that is always so weird to type, but it’s the name of the forum). Contrary to some (un)popular belief nerdfighters do not fight against nerds. I’m over there as Capt. Cockatiel.
Jello!(means hello)
wow………..err…….uhhhhhh……..hmmmm……..what can I say about nerdfighters?
It definatly reminds me of a debate my friends and I had about differences between geeks, nerds, and other beings who consider themselves unusual(it was the most hilarious thing ever!)
I think in the end we decided we were geeky
But geeks eat the heads off live chickens in circuses! Ah!
Hello!
Hi Jess! Yeah, Looking For Alaska was fotally fawesome!
Hi capt.cockatiel! Nerdfighters? Fotally finteresting! I’ll definetely have to check THAT out!
Hi allichie!Hmm you know, I’ve never known there to be a difference between geeks and nerds… until now! Hmm… I’m not sure what I would classify myself as now, all I know is that I’m a fotal BOOKWORM! Hahaha, and proud of it!
-Hahaha,bye guys!
I’m so a nerdfigher! i love brotherhood 2.0! I’m in My Pants as Kiersten. or maybe it was dessimetrics13 (my s/n for just about everything) but i think it was kiersten.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ash is so rude! like she couldn’t SEE that i was in mid sentance. i was writting on here, i go upstairs, SAY “im still on the computer”, come back down and she crossed out of it and is doing what ever she wanted! i understand that me and jess are on the computer alot more than her, but we are READING 80% (probably more) of the time so she can get on then. and i hate it when people are rude. all i want to do is get up and tell them to find their manners. im not like, guys have to open doors and hold chairs for girls, but have some common curtesy! i think it is acceptable to not interrupt, and don’t close out of things when it is clear that someone is still on it. she could have minimized for all i care. and now i have to get off in a half hour so she can type her letters. which probably is connected to running, and im not thrilled about that. but at least i don’t interupt when they 9meaning the rest of my family) are talking about running. but it infuriates (did i spell that right?) me when i am talking and they (probably knowing it will make me mad) interupt to say something about running. and mabe they don’t want to forget, but im quiet, even at home, it wont take long for me to finsh yalking. UGHHHHHH!! and i barly ever get mad. actually, im surprized at hoe furious i am right now. but i know it won’t last long. im sure i wont be so mad in five minutes. its actually kind of funny to see that being mad makes me type faster. more spelling mistakes, but im fixing the ones i catch as i go. i never used to do that.
i already am not as mad. still mad, but not as much. i am going to try to remember what i had written. i looked at that brotherhood2 website. for some unknown reason, John Green reminds of my 6th grade teacher.
Jess complains too much. yes i do usually read what she reads but she sometimes reads what i read after that. once i read a book by one author, and i like their style, i usually want to read thier books again. and i read what people here tell me is good (like Looking For Alaska) or what people at school tell me is good. (for Christams my friend gave me a book- The Mediator by Meg Cabot- and i was completly stoked that any one gave me a book! she read A Great And Terrible Beauty. we were talking about it-even thogh i never read it- during school.)
there was other stuff i wanted to writ on here, but i forgot when i got so mad. that is one thing that happens when i get mad. i forget things. but i usually don’t get mad, so this isn’t a problem.
Oh Yeah!! (my outrage fotally lost) i wanted to ask (if any one knows the answer) to some thing else i caught at the end of New Moon. Bella just finishes explaing why she is putting her mortality to a vote and Edward explains how that don’t have to make her a vampire, and Emmet likes his idea and it follows like this,
“‘No’ Rosalie hissed.
‘Absolutely not,’ I agreed.
‘Nice’ Jasper’s voice was appreciative.
‘Idiots’ Alice muttered.”
was Jasper agreeing with Bella or Edward????
Wow, i wrote more about being mad than what i wanted to write. there was more but i forgot. if i remember, i will prbably write it here. i like writting on this. (oh, and about the name thing, i don’t think its hard to guess that my name is katie. i couldn’t think of some screen name. the ones i thought of didn’t sound right. kind of weird. but i like the names people used here. i just wonder how you made them up!!)
(jess) ok so i THINK i get the nerd fighters thng… but i still dont kno… just dnt try and explain it more… somtims tht just makes it worse you kno???? oh well… thers this book i just read not to long ago called ‘Daniel Half Human and the Good Nazi’its really good u guys should read it
oh yeah… if u havnt already… if u have i wanna kno wat u thnk 🙂
well, like I said earlier, I didn’t make my name up, my best friend made it up because I needed a name for bowling, so maybe you could just twist your name around a little bit
and I think Jasper was agreeing with Edward because after, Alice called them all Idiots
todays quote makes Jacob sound a little suspicious. just in case you haven’t read it yet, im not going to put it on here. i don’t want to spoil it!
oh by the way, it’s Katie not Jess. she really should write in her own name if she is going to write in here.
I’m off to see Harry Potter today with my friends. Should be fun… (Though I actually kind of hate Harry Potter now, with all his teen angst.)
happy now katie… katie and i already went to see harry potter … i thought it was okay… tell us what u thnk…
I saw HP5 the night it opened. I had lots of caffeine coursing thru my system.
thank you jess.
toomanypeoplenamedhillary, that is a good thing you had caffine. we saw it in the afternoon, when you are mostly awake. it was cold enough to make me tired though.
i recently found i don’t like Jacob very much. i think he is kind of mean. just because Edward is a vampire doesn’t mean he can’t still be friends with Bella. and that quote makes him sound like he is going to hold Bella hostage so Edward can’t be anywhere near her. they are good vampires. its not like they are going to kill her. just make her immortal. i would think hed be happy that she can’t get hurt. oh well.
i like Jasper. he’s quiet, nice, probably cute.
im just thinking of things to type so Ash can’t get on. she just told me that no body is going to read this because all i talk about is books. i don’t just talk about books. and this is a blog for a book, so i think its safe to talk about them. and she is sitting here corecting my grammar. UGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is so annoying!!
Hello!
-Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! You’re a nerdfighter? Fawesome!
-Hi Katie! How ironic, my sister ASHLEY does the same thing too! She’ll kick me off and go on myspace for hours! I fotally fate it!Oh and I saw army wives/Drew Fuller was fotally hot! And I agree w/ allichie, Jasper was agreeing w/ Edward(I like Jasper’s response)!
-And I like today’s Eclipse quote/ through a letter, Jacob has voiced the words that I’ve always wanted to hear! But yeah, it’s almost TOO perfect, something’s going to happen!
-Hi Jess! I’ve never read “Daniel Half Human and The Good Nazis'”, but I’m guessing I should!
-Hi allichie! Yeah I agree w/ you on Jasper’s response! And I did make my name up (derived from the word Dimension from Midnighters) but I guess I’d consider it a nickname, I usually go by Demensiona!
-Hi capt.cockatiel! Oh you’re going to see Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix? Fawesome! Have fun!
-Hi toomanypeoplenamedhillary!(Haha, like the name!), oh you’ve seen HP5? Fool! And haha, caffine sure keeps you alert! Except for me, caffine makes me tired!
Bye guys!
Oh didn’t see you latest comment Katie! I love Jacob!Ooh, but good arguement!And probably?
-Jasper’s DEFINETELY HOT!(OR at least the actor that I have in mind, is fotally fot!)!
-And haha, ironically when I go on the spoiler zone, my sister Ashley thinks that I’m talking to pedophiles!(Ugh just because I love watching Law and Order SVU and that I find “Dateline NBC’s to Catch a Predator” to be H Y S T E R I C A L, doesn’t mean that I’m talking to pedophiles)!
-Ashleys….you’ve got to love them, haha!
Haha, bye!
the ash ovr here is completely different/same… she doesnt understand katie and i … but she usually isnt kicking us off 4 a myspace type of thng… its usually so she can look at runnin articles or write thngs 4 school or somin
shes wierd… she also has no interest in boys or driving… definatley not a girly girl… more lik an annoying guy
I think it’s safe to assume that all vampire guys are hot!
and Demensiona, yeah, I know so many pervs would look around author’s blog sites!(sarcasm)
ya know, I’m really glad I’m the oldest and we have more than one computer
i think it is the name Ashley. it could not be. i guess all the Ashley’s that i know (but one of you could be an Ashley) are annoying. if any of you are an Ashley, nobody here annoys me.
Jasper sounds like a cute sensitive (like the kind of guys i like!) guy. and i love his name too! but i can’t seem to think of an actor for him?
i got the time wrong for Army Wives. its a good thing it wasn’t earlier though, i would have missed it! his hair from Charmed is more Edward thogh. he is on every weekday morning at 8 on tnt.
i reserved Eclipse at Borders, that way if it comes out early (crossing fingers), they will call when it comes in. i was thinking of getting it from amazon, but it has to be sent to the company first. then it would be about a week before i got it.
i love hp5. its my fave book. its (arguably) the best movie acting/effects wise but if you JUST read the book before going (i read fast) it sucked. THEY CHANGED SO MUCH WHEN THEY MADE IT INTO A MOVIE! DIE DIRECTORS WHO CHANGE THINGS! DIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! there was practically nothing w/ tonks (one of my faves other than ron, luna, and neville. and sirius *sob*) they changed soooooooooooo much! die evil dirctors!
I’m kinda scared of ImInLoveWithJonathan
ImInLoveWithJonathan, i never read the book, but my friend did and said the same thing. i read an article in Entertainment (with out books im forced to read magazines. and seventeen and especialy vouge-did i spell that right?- bother me. i don’t know why.) that the directors took alot of things out because the movie would have been tooo long. i have been trying to read the books i just can’t ever get into them.
this is really ramdom, but, has anyone seen the Gaurdian? i did. i thought it was really sad. my cousin (the one that spells gym J-Y-M) owns it and its his favorite movie. he is crazy!
i am rereading New moon AGAIN. i know i just did, but oh well. the library hasn’t got my book in yet (i called just yeterday though) so im just rereading that one till it does. but im not starting at the beggining. it always makes me depressed.
ImInLoveWithJonathan: I agree about the Harry Potter movie. I was laughing during the entire thing because it was so insane after they changed it. (I don’t want to spoil it for anyone… so, um, if you don’t want it spoiled go to the next paragraph or something.)Like when Dudley and his friends just appear out of nowhere? What the heck was up with that? And then all the characters seemed to communicate telepathically because one minute they wouldn’t know something and the next — BANG! Thye’re being asked about it and they’re all “Oh, yeah! I knew about that!” Jeez, my friends and I thought it was a riot. I was disappointed that they left out the house elves. I was looking forward to it! The whole movie was messed up. Arg!
SPOILERS END. Ok. Those weren’t really spoilers, I’m too kind-hearted. Anyway. I’ve got nothing to say. Except that I’m off to post new stuff on fictionpress. Why any of you care? I’ve no idea.
“I think I might have been wrong before, you know, about not being able to be friends. Maybe we could manage it, on my side of the line. Come see me.†— Jacob Black
(just wanted to post it!)
Non-nerdfighters: You all should check out today’s video. Very, very worth it if you enjoy authors dancing. And falling over.
Hello!(I don’t know where the day went)
Hi Jess!Oh your Ashley chooses to do something productive? Yep BIG difference! And ironically, I have no interest in driving either.
Hi allichie! Yep, all vampire guys are fot!Haha and sarcasm, you’ve got to love it! And I’m, I suppose, the middle oldest!And I’m that that you posted the Eclipse quote of the day!
Hi Katie! I think you might be right about that Ashley theory, haha!And Jasper’s fotally cute! The actor that I think looks like Jasper is Ian Somerholder, who’s fotally hot!Oh 8:00 on TNT, thanks! Do you know what season(s) Drew Fuller’s on of Charmed? And you CAN reserve your copy at bookstores? Okay, I’ll definetly do that!
And I’ve never seen the Guardian, but my brother told me that it was fotally good and sad!And it’s fawesome that you’re reading New Moon again/ you know the depressing parts don’t hurt me as much as they used to now, and I’m fotally thankful for that!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Sorry to hear about the changes in the movie!
Hi capt.cockatiel!I’ll definetely have to try and catch that video clip!
Bye!
sorry didn’t mean to be wierd. it just mae me mad that they changed it so much. they took out a lot of things that are key for the next book so i wonder how they’re going to work that out.
Demensiona, im not sure what seasons Drew Fuller did, but i think he did two. Ian Somerholder, his name sounds fotally hot! i like that name for guys though. i read a book about an Ian by V.c. Andrews, he killed someone. but i have to say, i would have done it sooner or later too. the lady was crazy! (that was fotally random)
i watched The Freedom Writters today. it was good. kind of sad though.
i liked todays qoute. i just hope it works good in the context too.
Hello!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! No need for apologies, if I had read all 5 books, I probably would’ve had the same reaction!
Hi Katie! Oh it’s okay about the seasons, I’ll figure it out! Oh and you don’t know who Ian Somerholder is/ he was on the third season of SMALLVILLE(I fate it now!) for awhile(I mean if you ever watched the show).
Oh and you watched Freedom Writers? One of the girls in the movie went to the Performing Arts school that attend used to attend in San Diego,CA. I forgot her name in the movie, but she was the girl who transferred into the class(sorry/ kind of vague).
And yeah, I like the Eclipse quote of the day! I’m inferring that someone(Bella?) either gave Edward a birthday gift, or someone gave Edward and Bella a wedding gift!
Haha, bye!
wishful thinking there demensiona? lol. i wish it would be a edding present.
*wedding oops.
Demensiona, hmmmmmm, not ringing a bell (about Ian Somerhold) im going to look him up though. i did watch Smallvill. but the recent ones aren’t that great.
i was wondering what Edward could mean by “its the thought that counts” part. that would very good if it was a wedding gift.
it was terrible (in New Moon) reading the part when Edward asked Bella to marry him because everyone else was sleeping. i wanted to scream!!!! romantic parts are always making me giddy.
Hello!
Haha, you BET wishful thinking here ImInLoveWithJonathan!I want to see a wedding!
Hi Katie! Okay on Ian Somerholder! And yep, season six was fawful/the season finale was idiotic!
Haha, no I was screaming and jumping up and down at the proposal part! Haha, I flung the book across the room out of excitement!(But I’m starting to think that it would’ve been harder for Bella to refuse if Edward had actually bought a ring)!
Haha but knowing Bella.. well actually I don’t know what would’ve happened, haha! I can never guess what Bella’s going to do/I can never quite figure her out! Maybe the challenge is one of the things that I like so much about the Twilight series!
But yeah I love the romantic parts! Oh my gosh for some reason I was even jumping up at the part in the cafeteria when Edward took a bite out of the pizza! I just thought that was so attractive!
(Hey you guys know that Edward would’ve had to cough up that bite of pizza in order to discard it right? Haha, I just thought you guys should know!)!
Ooh and another random thing that I’ve been thinking about: Since Bella is supposely going to college, what do you think she’d major in? I mean she hasn’t really shone a great interest in anything yet(school wise), so I don’t know.
Maybe culinary or photography? I’m fotally curious!
-And what about Edward? I’m sure he’s tired of majoring in medicine!Hmm, again I’m curious!
Bye!
Is Bella really going to go to college? I guess if Edward has his way she will, but she seems adament not to go until she’s a vampire. As if it’ll be that easy for her in this book, though. Poor Bella, never getting what she wants. (Except Edward, of course.)
lol. yeah i cant see her actually going to college.
“Well, that just sucks! I guess I’m stuck with Mike Newton after all.â€
— Bella Swan
she had better just be talking about a lab partner.
Hello!
Hi capt.cockatiel! Bella’s supposely going to college/she’d better!Filling out those applications were not meant for mere enjoyment!
And I like the whole college scene, it’s fawesome!
And I’m thinking that Eclipse is going to be one T H I C K novel! Which is fotally fool!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!Hahaha, I know , right?! She’d better be using sarcasm! Or what if something went wrong during her transformation?/Well actually, I think that Bella would be in too much pain to speak! Hmm.. I don’t know….but you know what? I actually LIKE not knowing!
_______________________________________________
Oh and here’s a link that you might want to see if you haven’t already!:
http://twilightlexicon.com/2006/04/18/missing-scene-from-original-twilight/
Bye!
Demensiona, (for some reason jess just told me that she always wants to write Desdemona for you. i guess they sound similar.) jess and i have a new f word for you. FIDIOTIC, or FIDIOT. they both sound fawsome!
and Eclipse better be like, 700+, or she is going to have to issue a recall.
ImInLoveWithJonathan, your name is toooo long, or i just hate typing that much either way im going to start calling you IILWJ. but if YOU don’t like it tell me and i won’t call you that.
Bella better be talking about LAB PARTNERS OR GYM CLASS!
Capt. Cockatiel, if you don’t mind me asking, how do you become a Nerdfighter????? if you don’t want to tell me thats fine. (whoa, took a minute to write, im fighting with jessie over which Evanescence songs to play. i talked her into Lies. good song.) i know some people who won’t let others read books *cough, cough JESSIE,cough* because she likes the books and is very possive. thats okay if you are though.
Lies just ended. its a good song. now im listening to Lithium.
Katie: To become a nerdfighter (in steps)
1. Go to the website and find “Nerdfighers” on the side bar.
2. Write a verse for the nerdfighters song about which type of nerdfighter you are (you can skip this one, I think, but it’s fun).
3. Sign up for My Pants(the forum). Or don’t, if you don’t want to. (But it’s super fun, especially the teen thread.)
Then you’re a nerdfighter! YAY!
I won’t let people borrow my books, either. I’m very protective of them.
i know my name is unbelievably long. jus say IILWJ or kiersten (which is forgetable seeing as its nowhere in my online name.) you could say hey! you! and i wouldnt care.
*just oops
oh capt. cockatiel, did you see hank’s accio deathly hallows song. arguably the best hank song EVER. even if he did say accio wrong.
Yeah, that’s what I thought: the best one. It was long, but it was really good.
Capt. Cockatiel, thank you for the steps to becoming a nerdfighter!!!!!!
i could see if jess didn’t want to let people borrow her books. but jess didn’t even let her get it from the library. when she did, jess was jumping for joy when her dog ate it. but this girl im talking about, she isn’t the greatest person in the world. if you tell her something that was good, she reads it, she likes it, she was the one that found it. she tells people to get, and she tells you (the person who found it) to get it. she isn’t liked very much. actually, the book that was being obssesed over was Peeps. i think there is tooo much drama in our school. actually the drama is caused by the unpopular people who wish they were. they are sooo stupid sometimes.
the library hasn’t called yet. i am sooo bored with out a book, that i have decided to make a scrap book with my favorite books. Ash is the one that is always scrap booking. mostly with embaressing pictures of me. but oh well, she doesn’t show them to anybody. i don’t get the point of scrap books. but when you are as bored as i am, i would do anything. i even attempted to learn how to cook. but that was shortlived, someone stopped me. they remembered when i ALMOST, blew the house up. what can i say, gas stoves are tricky. the only thing i can make is cookies. and even they aren’t too good.
IILWJ, or kiersten, is that your real name? kiersten i mean. if it is, i like it. if its not i still like it. and that is one of jess’ favorite names. (my favorite is Riley. but that is kind of random)
if anyone hasn’t guessed, my real name is katie. and Jess is Jess or jessie or Jessica. which ever comes to mind when we are talking is what she is called.
UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! why hasn’t the library called yet. i called them monday.
whoa, that looks like alot. probably more spelling mistakes though. i fate typing.
hey this is katie and jess,
katie is working on becoming a nerdfighter and would like to put up her nerdfighter lyrics we are asking you to help… we have this :
i like john green
i hate to be mean
i like hank to
dont you?
i like evanescence
im still in adolescence
i like romance
it leaves me in a trance
i like good vampires
who put out fires
i am a nerd
in the theater of the absurd
i have a twin sister
she is like a twister
im not rude
but im also not prude
im a geek
and very meek
i have no mean streak
i freak if i reek
it is safe to say that rhyme zone was used in the making of these lyrics… WE NEED HELP!!!!!!! katie also has no nerdfighter title to speak of… we must fix that
hmmm… haven’t posted on here in a long time
hey everyone!
We all love books
and the downfall of the crooks
especially when the heros have good looks
the stories reach for us like hooks
when we read we get lost
but for us there is no cost
our passion can never exhaust
for we can never be crossed
all the wonderous things to read
I can never slow my greed
take away my books and I might bleed
so give me stories, I plead
how’s that?
damn… u thnk of tht just off the top of ur head… tht is like totally awsome!!!
(jess)
THIS BOOK WAS TOTALY FAWESOME!!!!
*hint the lingo*
i read it and i couldnt put it down. and its so cool how you interpreted music in one of you books. there are just a few questions i would like to say.
what does the big riff sound like?
and how did you see something like that in your mind and put it into words?
i could not get a song that would example the big riff to me. and as a book nerd. i have to say your books have been the best books ive read so far…and thats a lot. 😀
your books are fawesome and very fadical.
*hint making up my own zahler lingo. hope it doesnt count as steeling.* and i think that you should make another sequal to peeps no matter what. like maybe a girl who gets bitten and goes throught the change. for example the girl who threw the strat out her window. you should write a book on her point of view and when she goes to montana or new jersey explain the hospital or how they get horny or hungery.
that would be really fool. it would be even fooler if you gave her the name cecilia.
haha. you dont have to. i was just saying it would be fool if you did.
and way. KEEP WRITING BECAUSE YOU ARE A FAWESOME WRITER!!!
yeah kiersten is my real name. but its not speeled kirsten which means i can never get those cool little ornaments that say my name on it. they alays have my brother’s though (alex.) they even have kyri or however you spell it like the girl on kingdom hearts (never played it but this was pointed out to me by my obsessed friend)
Hello!
Hi Katie!Oh yeah, DEMENSIONA’s pretty similar to DESDEMONA, that’s fool/but sometimes confusing! Yep Eclipse better be 700+ pages!And I just don’t think that that quote was related to school because isn’t it a little late for like huge class assingments and partnership? Hmm.. I don’t know…
-And yeah, I’m a forrible cook! I need to take some kind of cooking classes or else I’ll starve as an adult!
Hi capt.cockatiel! Fawesome membership directions!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Noted on your name!
Hi Jess/Katie, fawesome! I’m pretty clueless of anymore lyrics but yours sound fotally fawesome though!
Hi allichie! I’m in awe too, you thought of those lyrics on the spot? Wow, I’m impressed!
Hi Cecilia!Yep TLD was fotally fawesome and Scott’s a fotally fool writer!
(Wait is it just my computer or is there no Eclipse quote for today?)
Bye!
the quote of the day is
“Fall down again, Bella?†— Emmett Cullen
(classic Bella)
it was just late
Demensiona, there is one today (but you could have already figured that out.)if you didn’t this is it,
“Fall down again, Bella?”- Emmett Cullen
as for the lyrics, i fotally couln’t hink of anything, and what jess helped me with doesn’t show any hint of geekyness to me. only a couple lines do. and using rhyme zone doesn’t help any either. i don’t like to rhyme. i get ryhming as much as i get computers. and that isn’t much (and most nerds are very good with computers. but i guess not all of them.) it was kind of wierd, and it took me an hour just to find something to go with vampires. i wasn’t even going to put it in, but vampires are tooo fawsome. i will prbably take it out later.
i watched The Pursuit of Happyness today. ive watched alot of movies since the library hasn’t called.
whoa whoa whoa… katie is not giving me NEARLY enough credit 4 her lyrics… i believe i made up most of thm…….. i swear… i mean who else would have made up
‘i have a twin sister
she is like a twister’
???????
and i propose that we make up a nick name 4 all the long named people when addressing thm… katie types slow and with all these long names im afraid ill never get computer time ever again!!!
On Nerdfighters they all call me CC or Chirp. (There was a long discussion about it yesterday there.)
Thanks allichie and Katie on the Eclipse quote!
(I have no clue! I don’t understand what the quote could mean)!
Hi katie!I like to rhyme but not on the spot!Oh and that movie was sweet and depressing!
Hi Jess!I admire you contribution to the poem!Oh and is my name to long? You can call me DEM, DESS, or JAS!
Hi capt.cockatiel! CC or Chirp? Okay, noted!
Bye!
Personally, I think the quote makes Emmett sound a bit mean… like he’s turned against Bella? Probably not right at all, but that’s how it sounds to me.
Emmett is just making fun of Bella, but if he said that to me, I would get angree
dess (im totally gonna play up ur demensiona/desdemona similar nams er watevr)
ok so lik i hav this frnd (brian) who had this girl friend named jazmine (they call her jazzy i guess) and she had her frnds tell him tht she killed herself 2 see wat hed say thn lik 2 hours latr she replied to a text message he snt her lik the day b4! thnk god he dumpd her but wat a bitch! excuse my language… my best frnd says i have a pottymouth!!! needless 2 say she has a lil bro thts lik 3 and shes gotta say tht allll the tim! anyways… i sorta thought of tht wen u said jas… katie also tld me ur nam was jasmine so lik tht was totally wierd… ur not ‘her’ r u … i hope not…
‘jess Your comment is awaiting moderation’ wats tht mean!
oo i bet its cuz i used the b-wrd! oops!
sorry!
Hi all!
Hmm well it sounds as if Bella ASKED Emmett to tell her that/maybe to test her newfound balance?
Or perhaps anger triggers…..something…
Or what if someone(Alice or Edward) directed Emmett to say that in order to test some theory revolving around Bella…
Hahaha, I REALLY don’t know!
I think it’s just Emmett being Emmett
“Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV.†— Jacob Black
jess, (it is really weird replying on here and not just going upstairs to tell you in person. but im lazy and it is so fool to write to you on here. don’t know why.) i so gave you enough credit. i didn’t even give myself practically any credit. just you and Rhyme Zone. THANKS RHYME ZONE!!!! and just to make you happy THANKS JESS… you complain too much. guess i can’t say that though, because i complain just as much.
i think Emmett was just joking around, but i don’t know. there is only 16 days left, and then we will find out!!!!! when i was writting down the quote, it took me forever to find the pen i always write my qoutes in. i use a red pen because red was always a color i thought was best for the twilight books. all the covers have red in them too. and so does the website. i guess its because the color is suposed to be romantic.
i finished Missing You, the last one of the 1-800-where-r-you series by Meg Cabot. it was really good. too short though. she should have made it longer. i liked the ending alot. though the library didn’t call like they used to, so i didn’t know it was there till i got there. oh well. it was fawsome anyway!
for some reason, i don’t like it when V.C Andrews books have happy endings. and i don’t like Andrew Neiderman. he tries tooo hard to make it depressing.
and The Pusuit of Happyness was really sad and depressing. it was so when he put the toilet paper down so his son could sleep on it. (my cousin who’s favorite movie is the Guardian, had to leave at that part. i guess it made him cry the first time he saw it.)
i like the vc ande=rews books with happy endings… ur just not used to it cuz most of them DONT have happy endings… but i still cant decide if the ending of the flowers in the attic saga was happy… did any one here read it????? if not u should… it was a very good book… and totally all vc andrews… it was her first ever book/book series … and katie??? i thnk u whine MORE than i do
grrr! I’m leaving tomorrow and won’t be able to see the quote of the day for an entire week!
jess, im coming upstairs in a minute.
i am now reading a book called Caght in the Act.
15 MORE DAYS TILL ECLIPSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
allichie, we will post them here for you.
wow you guys really wrote a lot while i was in media exile until i finished harry potter as to not see any headlines like HARRY LIVES! or HARRY DIES!
I’m still reading Harry Potter… no one had better say anything about it. (I of course want to finish it so no one ruins ot for me, but I also want to read it slowly. Stupid media, making everyone read it fast!)
i personally dnt lik the harry potter books very much but i hope u guys enjoy the new 1!!!
Jess: I don’t like them much either. That’s why I’m still on the computer and not reading the book. It’s also why I’m not done with the book. And why I didn’t cheer when the books arrived at midnight. I think you get the idea.
Hello! Hello! Oh my gosh, I was going crazy without the internet!!! Can someone PLEASE post the Eclipse quote for 7/22? PLEASE!
Hi allichie! Thanks for posting Eclipse quote 7/21! Oh and ugh, I feel for you allichie/it was fotal fell for me just missing 2 quotes! Yep, I’ve been pretty loopy these last 2 days! But no, we’ll definetly post the Eclipse quotes for you, like Katie said!
Hi Katie! Emmett joking? Hmm… well wouldn’t he have said “DID you fall down again, Bella?” Well I don’t know! Ooh yeah I have a special Twilight pen too, but its pink/ its like a everlasting pen or at least it seems like it/I bought it from a college bookstore last year!
– Oh my gosh and YES! I had to look away at the bathroom scene because I was on the verge of tears/and I fate crying in front of my parents!
Hi Jess! I’ll definetly check out VC Andrews!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! I hoped you enjoyed the book!
Hi capt.cockatiel!Oh my lips are defintely sealed(I haven’t read it)haha! Yeah HP’s just a little too fantastical for me! Ooh but when Eclipse comes out, I’m probably not going to be on the internet for a while/I don’t want ANY spoilers!
-BYE!
7/22/2007
“Hey, vampire girl.”- Embry Call
what are we going to do when there isn’t any more quotes. but i guess the book will be out by then!
14 MORE DAYS TILL ECLIPSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if there were any way to describe me right now, it would be off the walls. every time i see someone, im like “14 MORE DAYS!” and they are usually saying something along the lines of, “till what?” and i, am thinking “duh” when i realize that they can’t read my mind, so then im yelling “TILL ECLIPSE COMES OUT” and that usually follows with some look. and then i feel like a fotal fidiot, for 2 seconds. then i think that in 2 weeks i will be holding a hopefully 700+ page book in my hands. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!
7/23/2007
“Besides… the more time I spend with you, the more human emotions seen comprehensible to me. I’m discovering that i can sympathize with Heathcliff in ways I didn’t think possible before.”- Edward Cullen
Finteresting.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for the quote Katie!!
Hopefully, The Eclipse quotes will last until August 6th! But no, for Stephenie Meyer to be able to pull out this many quotes, this book HAS to be pretty thick!
And yep, I’ve been spreading the good word around about Eclipse! My siblings think I’m frazy! And you know what, they’re right, I’m fotally Twilight series frazy, and I love it!!!!!!!!!Hahaha!
But yeah, today’s quote is pretty finteresting!But if there’s going to be this many references to “Wuthering Heights,” then I’m getting the feeling that I need to take a trip to wikipedia and get fully aquainted w/ the book!
_______________________________________________
Ooh but I have a question, you know how in the first chapter of Eclipse how Edward believes that it was Bella’s “Luck” who brought the werewolves from extinction? And how Jacob told Bella that the “REAPPEARANCE,” of the vampires brought the werewolovers back from extinction?
I don’t understand that.
Like which reappearance was Jacob referring to? The time when the Cullens returned to Forks after living in Alaska for a while? Or recently? And how would solely the vampire’s “APPEARANCE” RESURFACE the werewolves? Is that saying that if the Cullens had never lived in Forks, that Jacob would’ve never become a werewolf?
And if what Edward had said was in fact true, how did Bella’s “LUCK” resurface werewolves? I mean I guess you can say “recently” that people had seen the werewolves but…. I don’t know…..
welll (jess is typing)
theory#1- it wasnt the vampires or bellas luck themselves tht brought the wrerewolves back but the fact that the cullens and a human (a.k.a bella) become close… the inner werewolves sensed it and started to form hence forth brining back the werewolves through the cullens AND bella’s luck
theory#2- the first time the cullens came to forks they formed a treaty with the werewolves, but then left and the mutation of werewolves stopped for about 70 years. then the cullens came back and the treaty was fine… then victoria came, a vamp that did NOT sign the treaty, and the werewolf mutation prosses was sent into motion… to protect forks against vistoria and her vamp lover and friend.
theory#3- the werewolves NEVER went into extinction… just hid who they were since the cullens were no threat… then victoria and her posse of evil kunivals came back… and all the sudden the werewolves were popping out of the woodwork to protect forks.
yes… thoery 3 is a lil out there… but ya kno… we rnt geniuses and they all had to revolve around the fact that sam… who is older than the rest… turned… which would have been earlier… these are OUR thery’s not stephenie meyers… so they are a lil rough… but we hope that they bring understanding to everyone who didnt/doesnt understand the reason for the werewolves return
ohyeah – what bathroom scene????
Thanks for your fawesome theories Katie and Jess!
Oh and sorry, I should have been more specific, the bathroom scene in “The Pursuit of Happiness”/the part where you said that your cousin had to leave the room for?
Bye!
OOOOOOOOOO, yeah, that was a very sad part.
7/24/2007
“Do you think either of then would give up if you died? They’d still fight, we all would. You can’t change anything, so just be good, okay?”- Alice Cullen
Very finteresting.
I finished The Named today. it was fawsome! ONE of the most fawsomest books i ever read. but i say one of them because there are to many books that are fawsome to pick out just one. its a trilogy so i have to figure out what the other books are. but its sooooo fawsome. its by Marianne Curley if any body wants to read it. has anyone else besides Jess readit?? its totally fawsome. the author is from Australia, and i realized that people in Australia like chocolate alot. in the John Marsden books, when the teenagers were asked what they missed most during the war, they always replied chocolate. i LOVE chocolate, but not as much as Austrailians apparently. i like dark chocolate the best.
Privet Katie+ Jess!
-Yep that part was fotally fad!
– And I love quotes by Alice/ but yeah, VERY finteresting!
-And “The Named?,” by Marianne Curry? Hmm.., no, I’ve never heard of it. But I’ll take your word for it and check it out on amazon! And haha, Australians like chocolate?Hmm… interesting!
-(I’m personally not a big fan of chocolate.)
Bye!
the last one was just by me, katie. i forgot to delete jess’s name.
the next two books in the trilogy are the dark and the key. they sond interesting to me. on Marianne Curley’s website, she said she MIGHT make a 4th book. theis is both sad and exciting, because she might and she might not. argh! and i was looking for an hour and i can’t find out if there is going to be an other Ellie’s Chronicle’s book. probably not because of the way it ended, but im going to keep on hoping there is an other one. *sigh* i don’t have any thing to read that sounds interesting till i get the other two books. but Eclipse is the only other exception. by the sound of the quotes im actually starting to get worried.
not all australians love chocolate. justine larbalestier (scotts wife) doesnt like it.
Oooh, dark chocolate. *drools*
I haven’t been here in a few days. But I finished Harry Potter (don’t worry, no spoilers from me).
Right now I’m reading The Off Season by Catherine Gilbert Murdock. It’s the sequel to Dairy Queen. Very good books.
Hello!
Hi IILWJ!Oh, well I’m w/ Justine Larbalestier on the subject of chocolate!
Hi capt.cockatiel! Ooh I was debating whether to read Dairy Queen! I’ll definitely read it now!
-And what’s w/ today’s Eclipse quote?!!7/25
“I was just wondering why you stabbed him.Not that I object.”-Edward Cullen
Who did Bella stab?! The victim’s name better not start w/ a “J”!!!!!!! What’s going ON in this book! Gee I’m anticipated!!!!!!!!!
Bye!
whoa!!!!! i was just typing and then i looked up and Demensiona has stuff written. so i deleted the stuff that was the same as what you wrote. and i im wondering if there is reason to worry about this book! i don’t think Bells stabbed him, she cares about Jacob to much. and the Cullens probably didn’t because they care too much about Bella. UUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
and now im really excited because on her website it says that some books were accidently shipped out early!!!! now im taking the phone around the house with me hoping Borders calls. but they could be on of the many book stores that didn’t get the book. UGHHHHHH! these last 12 days are going to be AGONIZING!!!!! but all i keep thinking is after 12 is 11. and after 11 is 10. and after 10 is the single digets. like 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1! glad to know i can count arent you !
Hi Katie1 That always happens to me(I guess it’s a time zone thing)!
_______________________________________________
And hmm… Well who else would Edward be talking to? Maybe Bella stabbed some other werewolf?
I mean you’re right, because I doubt that a CULLEN would simply STAB a werewolf or someone…..
Wait a “him” could be a human too right? I mean, I don’t THINK that Edward would object to Bella stabbing Mike Newton, would he?Hmm…
PLUS, if Bella stabbed a HUMAN, she would be arrested…..wouldn’t she?
-Bella probably stabbed a werewolf, but it’s hard for me to believe that she would stab JACOB or that she would get AWAY w/ stabbing a werewolf. And where would Bella get a SILVER knife from?
Fotally Finteresting!
_______________________________________________
And bookstores usually release books either ON the release date or after. The Barnes and Noble that I went to released The New Moon Special Edition a little PAST the release date.
Hmm but believe it or not, I LIKE the anticipation! And I don’t think that I’d be able to keep my mouth shut for long!
-And I’m fotally glad you can count/I need someone who can keep track of time once “I’ve”
lost it!
-Haha, bye!
im not so sure she actually ‘stabbed’ anyone… they could be figuratively speaking… i mean… like maybe she said somin thought would like ‘stab’ him in the in the heart… like through her words… ya know????? oh… i wonder how scott westerfeld feels about us talking alot bout other authors on his site………….
Does Scott ever even look here? He probably finds us a bit obsessed with the Twilight series if he does…
anyone think todays qoute has to do with rosalie?
*quote
Yes ImInLoveWithJonathan! My thoughts EXACTLY! I mean on twilightlexicon, it did state that Rosalie, “Was the most beautiful girl in Rochester, New York when she was human.” I mean why not the most beautiful within the village?
I love this Eclipse quote! I really like hearing the stories and the legends. And did you see the SIZE of this quote? Simply GLORIOUS!
IILWJ, it might. do you think that Rosalie has hair to her knees? i guess she could have cut it. it just wouldnt grow back.
7?26/2007
“The Stories say that the Cold Woman was the most beautiful thing human eyes had ever seen. She looked like the goddess of dawn when she entered the village that morning; the sun was shining for once, and it glittered off her white skin and it lit the golden hair that flowed down to her knees. Her face was magical in its beauty, her eyes black in her white face. Some fell to their knees to worship her.”- Billy Black
a thought just came, what if it wasn’t Jacob Bella stabbed, what if it was Billy. is it just me or are these quotes getting more and more finteresting and confusing.
i hope Scott doesn’t take any offense to our talking about Eclipse. especially because we are posting the quotes here. but when Extras comes out im sure we will talking about that one a lot to!!!!!!
11 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
every time i send something, a post from Demensiona pops up right before it. its kind of weird. but is fool to!
i was thinking about Jasper for some reason, and i thought of Jesse Spencer. he plays a doctor on House. has any one else heard of him? he’s really cute!
House is my favorite show! Yay!
i like house to………………… but ddnt jesse spencer leave the show?????…… katie and i have composed a deal tht if she buys it, she gets 2 read it frst, but the deal is she has 2 read the book in 1 day and i have 2 do all her chores (for tht day) but somhow it sorta seems like im comin up a lil short… i mean i kno im not gonna have 2 pay 4 the book, and i still get 2 read it… but does it seem lik katie is gettin more out of this or is it me???????????
Privet!
Hi Katie! Yeah, I was thinking on the hair length too. But then again, was Rosalie’s hair length ever stated? It could in fact be that long.
And I was thinking Billy too! But I thought it’d be too physically awkward. Plus, a stab wound would probably kill Billy in his condition. And I doubt that Bella killed anyone.
-And I believe it’s just a West Coast thing. Because I’m pretty sure that besides capt.cockatiel and I, that everyone else lives on the East coast. It’s always happening to me and it’s pretty fannoying!
-And I was thinking of Jesse Spencer for Carlisle. But I thought that’d be too… you know!
Hi capt.cockatiel! I love House too!
Hi Jess! Leaving the show? Can you believe that I STILL haven’t seen the season finale of House? Can somebody tell me what happened?
And hmm on the deal….Well I mean it depends on Katie’s reading pace/I mean I’d feel kind of rushed finishing in one day. But then again YOU have to wait a whole ANOTHER day AND you have to do chores…..hmm, I’m not sure.
-I think “I” personally would want to be in Katie’s postion, but then again it would be AGONY to keep my mouth shut….
-I think you guys are even!
Haha, Bye!
I didn’t think anyone had officially left House yet. They just hadn’t signed on for another season (the only one who did was Hugh Laurie, aka House).
Was the season finale the one with the people from Cuba? Or was that before the finale…
Hi capt.cocaktiel!Cuba? Hmm… not ringing a bell, maybe that’s it!
And what’s w/ todays Eclipse quote?
What is going ON in Eclipse?!Stab wounds and shots being fired…. What IS this?
I mean Jacob DID already break the treaty by even TELLING Bella about the werewolves/vampires. But I thought they’d wait for a battle WHEN Bella was transformed. And I don’t think she’s transformed yet/at this time.
Bye!
7/27/2007
“It’s a good thing you’re bullet proof.”- Bella Swan
i am really agitated that the library gets the third book in the series BEFORE the second one. so when i go get the book, im going to have to SIT there and watch the third one until i get the second one! AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! UUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
and i think the cuba one was the finaly. im not sure but i think it was.
7/28/2007
“I offered eternal servitude, remember. I’m your slave for life.”- Jacob Black
WHAT IS THAT ABOUT!!!!!!! these quotes keep getting more and more finteresting! i was watching a interview with Stephenie meyer, (i think it was on a borders page….) and she said that the first one was about finding true love, the second one was about losing it, and the third one is choosing it. im starting to wonder if i should be worried. especially after that quote.
Jess called another branch for me 9because i was too shy to do it myself. there i admit it JESS!!!! now you can’t embarres me with it. although, i think i just did that myself. OH WELL!!) and now i can get The Dark at another library!! why they couldn’t just send that one to my library, i don’t know. i could have been reading right now!!!! oh well! im getting the book any way!
WE ARE IN THE SINGLE DIGETS!!!!!!!!
NINE MORE DAYS TILL ECLIPSE!!!!!!!!
(i thought it could use its own post)
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think im going a little bit crazy!!!! OH WELL!!!!
i wonder if ill be this excited when Extras comes out? PROBABLY!!!!!!!!
crap i have to wait till 4 to get my book from the library. CRAP!!
Hi Katie!
-Ugh I fate when libraries do that, and it DOES take forever to get the second book. That’s why sometimes, you can’t start/or complete many series’from libraries.Hmm.. and again with this cuba on House, I should check the fox website!
Wait you saw an interview w/ Stephenie Meyer? One of my oldest sisters has that borders thing, I should check her email(haha) to see if she has any videos or updates(I saw an interview w/ Jodie Piccoult and James Patterson, did you see them?).
Yeah, I bug libraries like forever until I get my book/my sister had to wait TWO months just to get Touching Darkness. Frazy huh!
-Yeah but I was pretty shy at first w/ the whole calling for another branch, like when the librarian asks I would automatically say no, haha but when it came to homework assignments, that shyness melted away quickly!
-Yeah the quotes are finteresting!(But I had to look on dictionary.com for a minute for today’s quote, hahaha). I wonder if Jacob was using sarcasm…. but yeah, I don’t think we have to worry, I’m TRUSTING Stephenie Meyer w/ my emotions(I can’t say that I can trust Jodie Piccoult though/I’m always a wreck! It’s that IRONY that kills me/I can’t handle it!)!
YEP
N I N E !
Fell Yeah!!!!!!
Haha bye!
after i read My Sisters Keeper, i don’t plan on reading another Jodi Picoult book. it was soooooooooooo sad i coldn’t finish it. i skimmed to the end to find out what happened!!!!
i haven’t seen any interveiws by Jodi Picoult or James Patterson. the name James Patterson sounds Familiar though. who is he?
im always shy. except here though. probably because i can’t see what you look like or anything. and i don’t know who you are. if i met you in person, i would be VERY quiet, and probably looking at the ground. its not always a problem though. its pretty easy to evesdrop. you’re either tooo quiet, or no suspects you’ll be there because you don’t do anything wrong, you’re a good girl. HA! other times its embarresing. people call me bookworm or hermit. it doesn’t bother me though. i think its funny! i take it as a compliment! i also take being called a nerd or geek as a compliment. speaking of nerds, i still haven’t become a nerdfighter yet.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!NINE!!!!
!!!!MORE!!!!
!!!!DAYS!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!9!!!!!!
!!!!YAY!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT WON’T LET ME POST!!!!!! I FATE COMPUTERS!!!!!!
First: James Patterson wrote the Maximum Ride books. I never read them, but my sister is in love with them.
I’m actually really shy, too. I’ve had the same friends for nine years almost and I hate group projects.
You must join nerdfighters! It’s very fun! Lots of people are joining now because one of the videos was featured on YouTube. Very crowded, but still very fun.
ok… katie never eally read my sisters keeper… she skimread if you could really call it tht… she missed ALOT! wen i read it a family friend had given the book 2 my mom to read and i found on the counter… i was in sixth grade might i tell you… my mom didnt know i was reading it (she thought she lost it) untill the lady tht gave us the book saw me with it (she worked at our school) then she called my mom and was lik do u know wat ur daughter is reading??? but by thn i had already read my fair share of lik wierd books so my mom didnt thnk to much of it… but when i finished the darn thng i was soooo mad! i mean im not really one 2 cry over a book… i really dnt cry tht much at all come to thnk of it…. but the waterworks were goin in my house when i finished! and to this day i have NEVER picked up another jodi p book……. sad huh???
oh yeah… you wanna know how long i waited for twilight 2 come to my library????? FOUR FREAKING MONTHS!!!!… im just glad tht it was the first book i had 2 wait with the library for… i mean… i can wait a couple months if it hasnt even come out yet…… but come on!!! ORDER IT FROM ANOTHER LIBRARY ALREADY! now i know tht people tht wrk at library’s r suposed 2 b pretty smart and all wat with them ya know lik working around a bunch of books and all… but USE YOUR COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t read Twilight until it had been out for about a year. Like New Moon came out a month after I read Twilight.
Hello!
Hi Katie! First of all, I have to say thank you so much for telling me about the interview w/ Stephenie Meyer!I REALLY enjoyed it and I’d KILL to be in those other girl’s position!
But what about this Eclipse quote dealing w/ fish? I’ve never read that one and I could’ve SWORN that I’d had all of them. But yeah, it was fotally interesting w/ the whole “Evil Phil,” thing, I LOVED it!
-And you skimmed it!!Oh my gosh, I could’ve NEVER done that! But no, I read books by Jodie Piccoult because I feel as if I HAVE to in order to make myself emotionally stronger as a reader.(I’ve read 19 minutes which was a killer, and I bought The Pact, but I haven’t read it though, and I want Vanishing points).
-And yes, I’m told that I was/am shy. But I’m just extremely observant(I’m a libra), and if I don’t have anything to say, then I just won’t say it/ and people just seem to have a problem w/ that. And I definetely take those labels as compliments. Because we’re GOING somewhere w/ those labels!
Hi capt.cockatiel! Yeah thanks, I haven’t read Maximum Ride yet either, but I’ve bought the book.I F A T E group projects w/ a purple passion. I prefer to work independently. I can identify myself w/ Bella in that I USUALLY don’t relate WELL to MOST people. Plus I’ve moved around alot so friendships were usually mutal(I’ve found myself closer to my teachers at most points). But yeah, new school, hopefully that’ll change!
Jess you read “My Sister’s Keeper,” in WHAT GRADE LEVEL? I don’t know if that was very appropriate, but never mind, I’ve heard worse!
And 4 months? I’d sue!
Haha, bye guys!
Oh and ditto capt.cockatiel!
i didnt read twilight untill it was out for a while either… which is why i said somin cuz it had been out 4 just about a year and it STILL took 4 months 4 me to get it! which is why i find im havin a harder time with eclipse cuz i ddnt have to wait very long for new moon… and wen i read my sisters keeper i dnt thnk i knew quite wat i was getting into… but my mom ddnt stop me cuz 1) she ddnt either and 2) if my mom got to read all of my books b4 i did id never get 2 read…. and its not cuz she wnt let me… its cuz shes to busy… so i dnt know….. i also thnk i read flowers in the attic wen i was a little young… and believe me…. its worse than my sisters keeper 4 a sixth grader!
Hello!
Hi Jess! Yeah I bought Twilight from K-mart for my 15th birhtday, and I had read it after I read Blue Noon and Specials/ Twilight acted as a nice distraction.
-(Although I still wish that the backcover of Twilight didn’t say that Edward was a vampire, because I wouldn’t have got it/ I would’ve been very surprised at the scary stories part which I wanted to be!)
-I waited 5 days for New Moon because my favorite english teacher bought 2 copies!
So yeah you’re right, I’m having a harder time w/ Eclipse because I didn’t have to wait for New Moon either. Plus Stephenie Meyer thinks that Eclipse is her best and it’s 629 PAGES!!!!
-Can You say ANTICIPATION! It comes out next week!
But yeah, even as a tenth grader, “I” didn’t even know what I was getting myself into. I was the first book that ever made me cry/ it was just that forrible situational irony/it was a slap in the face!
And Flowers in the Attic?One of my sisters said that the movie was good. What was it about again?
______________________________________________
And what do you guys think of today’s quote?! Do you think that this quote lead up to “The Fight?” I wonder why Jessica’s mad?
Bye!
I’m not going to get it for a while because I’m getting it from the library. Unless they have it on sale at the store and I can afford it. Then I might get it earlier.
it feels soooooooo good to be back!
hey, can someone who wrote down the quote of the day tell me all the quotes since last sunday? pretty please?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ECLIPSE COMES OUT IN NINE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello!
Hi capt.cockatiel!Hmm.. well the thing is, that Eclipse is going to be in hardback for a while which as you know is pretty expensive/I’d try either Target or K-mart.(The New Moon Special Edition was $15 at Wal-mart/not the best but better). And books are usually cheaper on amazon/even in hardback!
Hi allichie! It’s good to HAVE you back!
_______________________________________________
Here:(I’ll start w/ the 24th?):
-7/24 “Do you think either of them would give up if you died?They’d still fight, we all would. You can’t change anything, so just be good, okay?”-Alice Cullen
-7/25 “I was just wondering why you stabbed him. Not that I object.”-Edward Cullen
-7/26″ The stories say that the cold woman was the most beautiful thing human eyes had ever seen. She looked like the goddess of the dawn when she entered the village that morning; the sun was shining for once, and it glittered off her white skin and it lit the golden hair that flowed down her knees.Her face was magical in its beauty, her eyes black in her white face.Some fell to their knees to worship her.” -Billy Black
7/27 “It’s a good thing you’re bulletproof.”-Bella Swan
7/28 “I offered eternal servitude, remember. I’m your slave for life.”-Jacob Black
-There you go allichie!
Bye!
thank you Demensiona!
Demensiona: The local bookstore I go to has all NY Times Bestsellers at 15% off so I’m hoping that Eclipse will make it. New Moon did, so I’ve got my fingers crossed.
Hello!
Hi allichie! You’re welcome!
Hi capt.cockatiel!That’s fawesome! I’ll have my fingers crossed FOR you!
So yeah I’ve FINALLY reserved a copy of Eclipse at Barnes and Noble/I was so excited that I was completely tongue-tied while talking to customer service! I’m thinking that the reservation just worsened my anticipation to the extreme max!
-Hmm.. I like today’s quote, I wonder what Edward did, haha!
-And this is random, but won’t Jessica STANLEY be sitting next to Bella SWAN during their graduation? That should be interesting!
Bye!
7 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it has been brought to my attention that Eclipse could come out late! i don’t know what id do if it ever came out late! IT BETTER NOT!!!! i can’t wait!
the gaurdians of time trilogy is better than i thoght it would be. i FINALLY got The Dark, the second book, and i started The Key this morning. THEY ARE FOTALLY FAWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!
does todays quote have anyone else wondering exactly what Edwards wondering? these quotes keep getting better and better
629 pages!!! how did u figure that out !!! now im really exited!!! and flowers in the attic is about these four kids and their mom locks them up for like four years or somin and like its this like idk lik “sega” er watevr and it goes through their lives before, during, and after their attic years… its actuall very interesting…not somin a sixth grader should b reading but hey… i was never into those real girly books and watevr so ya kno….. anyways ive never seen the movie… people hav told me there is one but im not real interested in seeing it cuz it seems they always mess up the really good books by doin that so watever… you should read the book tho i cant wait till the book comes out!!!!!!
Hi Katie!
Yeah seven days and….what?! The woman at Barnes and Noble said that Eclipse MIGHT be late if I got it mailed to my house/ so that’s why I reserved it!
-I know, I can’t wait either! I start school on August 8th! Ugh!I’ll have my fingers crossed fextremely tight!
-And you’ve FINALLY received you’re book?! That’s fawesome! You surely deserve it!
And good question! I’m not sure, I mean if Edward would’ve said what “WERE” you thinking, then I’d have a couple of guesses. But this is too broad!Haha, I LOVE it!
-These qoutes ARE getting better!
______________________________________________
Hey do you what was the first ever Eclipse quote? Was it from Bella?
Bye!
anyone else ehre a falloutboy fan??? they r gonna b on mtv trl aug. 1st at 1pm… idk if it will be like them on it but the site i go to says itll b lik footage from their live earth concert er somin… which was awsome… i saw it on tv did anyone else ????? and for the money problems on the buying books… a little advice for the future (this is wat katie and i usually do) if we kno a couple months to weeks in advance that a new book is comin out that we dont wanna wait till the library gets it for every time we earn money we put away lik half of it and then wen the book finally comes out we should have enough… but katie and i have it a lil easier cuz we can put our money together……………………………….
here* and wow demensione musta been typin really fast!!! and i have a question about the end of new moon… (id look it up in the book but we r redoing our bedroom and its sorta packed away) was jessica mad at bella??????? cuz if she wasnt she could be lik joking about screaming… like maybe she was exitied for bella…… or was she mad at bella……. cuz then she would b mad that like bella (hopefully) was gettin edward cuz didnt it say that jessica liked edward and lik had a crush on him er somin????cuz then she could b mad ovr that… idk im startin 2 think stephenie meyer put up thos quotes to torture us a little untill the book came out…. ya kno… build up anticipation and stuff till we feel lik we r gonna explode……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Ugh sorry Jess, your comment wasn’t there a second ago!
I found out the number of pages through the Stephenie Meyer interview that Katie told me about!
-Oh and THAT’S what Flowers in the Attic was about! Yeah I was never into those girly books either/ I think I read mostly hisotrical fiction in 6th grade.
And yep, I can’t wait for Eclipse!
Bye!
its wierd how these comments just show up…………………………………………………………..
Gee this time zone thing is driving me nuts Jess!
Sorry again! Hmm I’ll tell my sister Rae about it, she’ll freak out!
And interesting money plan/I’m forrible with money. That’s why I rely on my mom for my expenses, but I don’t really ask for anything non-book/ DVD related. I get books for grades.
And I was wondering about that too Jess. Because I didn’t really know that Jessica was really mad at Bella until the Epilogue which explains the new lunch situation.
So yeah, Jessica’s jealous over Edward and Bella’s relationship/I mean what chick like her wouldn’t be?
But I mean Jessica’s so short, I mean w/ Bella’s height, she should’ve been able to beat the crap out of Jessica(w/ or w/o knowing how to fight), that’s why imagine that Bella would’ve be fighting(trying to defend herself ^_^) from Lauren.
-And I bet the fight was on a SUNNY day because I KNOW that the Alice or Edward would’ve interfered/ held Bella back, they would’ve saw it coming.
-I don’t know, those are just my thoughts.
Bye!
Ugh Jess, it happened AGAIN, FOTALLY wierd!
IT IS WEIRD!!! its like aim… speaking of aim does anyone here have that???
cuz then we wnt have to wait to see wat eachother say and/or post thngs we dnt want EVERY one 2 kno on the internet ya kno???
demensiona- height isn’t everything, Bella’s clumsy and might not put up much of a fight
Hello!
Hi Jess! Haha(I must be one of the slowest teens ever/I just had to search on google to see what AIM stood for!)! So no, I don’t have one.
Hi allichie!Hmm, I’m sure that’d look AWKWARD.
But I mean Bella should at least be able to make an attempt/ what happened to her self defense strategies?They sounded pretty promising to me, haha!(Clumsy or not, Bella should STILL be able to shove/and that does do some damage). Maybe Jessica and Lauren “Tag-teamed,”…. Haha I don’t know!
-Wow, Eclipse seems so violent….I can’t wait!
Bye!
but doesnt edward keep lik REALLY close tabs on bella?
wouldnt he stop it if she ever got into a fight? i really dnt thnk bella has anythng 2 b wrried bout
wow i was one for like 2 days and had a backlog of like 50 million comments to read. i cried in my sisters keeper. it was kinda bad expecially when it was the brother’s chapters. i have aim. lol on having to look up what aim meant. i cant WAIT for eclipse.
no, I don’t have aim either
Demensiona- hmmm, I guess thats true, well, we’ll just have to wait and find out!
Edward might keep her away from Jessica if he sees how angry she is at her
i posted yesterday and everything made sense, NOW IM COMPLETLEY LOST!!!!! which are you talking about?? Jessica being mad at Bella in New Moon, Eclipse, or both?? im fotally confused, but i often am so noone has to explain anything if you don’t want to.
6 DAYS TILL ECLPISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the quotes are making waiting worse!!!! i have alot of money saved up so i can by more than just Eclipse when i go and but it. im shocked at how well i have been able to save my money! usually its burning a hole through my pocket!!!!
i wonder who charlie is talking to?
the time zone thing never made sense to me. its just so confusing! it could be like 4 here and still be 3 somewhere else! or posibaly an hour later. i don’t get why time can be the same every where. but then where it looks to be 9 at night, it could be 5 in the afternoon. this is an other thing that confuses me.
i finished The Key, the third book in the Gaurdians of Time Trilogy!!! the ending was somewhat surprising and VERY sad. i mean, (small spoiler, but nothing big so you can still read it if you wanted to read the trilogy) who would want to see veryone else find their soulmates, find yours then watch them die!!! it was SAD! but still a very good book. among the sad, there is still a happy ending to it!
i don’t know what to read next. i don’t want to start an other series because there is only 6 days to wait!!!! but if it is a boring book, it might take me longer to read. i could still br reading the book when Eclipse comes out. or i could have, like, one or two days left and not want to start anothert book, those days would prove to be VERY LONG. the same if i don’t start another book till then.
for some reason that doesn’t look long enough for the amount of time it took to right it in. oh well, i type slow.
Hello! (First of all, has the format of the Spoiler Zone changed?Or is that only my computer/it’s throwing me off!)
Hi Jess!Haha, I like the way you put that/yeah Edward really DOES have tabs on Bella so I have no doubt in my mind that he would stop her. But quote on quote 7/9, Charlie said, “I never thought I needed to teach you how to throw a punch. Guess I was wrong about that,” and that’s something you’d usually say to someone’s who’s gotten to a fight. But maybe Bella was just merely threatened/ maybe she was freaking out and Charlie noticed?
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!Yeah I cried too, the worst part was seeing her wide EYES in the car, I mean she was just narrating like a second ago. And the date on Kate’s narration(10 years later), I was completely torn. And yeah, haha, lol/Gee I’m a dunce! And I can’t wait either!
Hi allichie! Yeah we’ll just have to wait!I mean Stephenie Meyer said that Eclipse is pretty comical/ and book fights happen to be HILARIOUS to me!
Hi Katie! We’re talking about BOTH. And I DO want to explain:
_______________________________________________
At first Jess had brought up quote 7/29 “I feel like screaming,” and she was trying to specualte if Jessica was excited for Bella, or if ,”she would b mad that like bella (hopefully) was gettin edward cuz didnt it say that jessica liked edward and lik had a crush on him er somin????”
-And I had said that, “And I was wondering about that too Jess. Because I didn’t really know that Jessica was really mad at Bella until the Epilogue which explains the new lunch situation. So yeah, Jessica’s jealous over Edward and Bella’s relationship/I mean what chick like her wouldn’t be?”
[We were trying to speculate Jessica was involved in “The Fight”, but I always had a hard time believing that because of the height difference, so I presumed that it was Lauren. But then allichie said that, “height isn’t everything, Bella’s clumsy and might not put up much of a fight.” So I thought about that and said,”But I mean Bella should at least be able to make an attempt/ what happened to her self defense strategies?They sounded pretty promising to me, haha!(Clumsy or not, Bella should STILL be able to shove/and that does do some damage). Maybe Jessica and Lauren “Tag-teamed,â€â€¦. Haha I don’t know!”
And I also said earlier that,”I bet the fight was on a SUNNY day because I KNOW that the Alice or Edward would’ve interfered/ held Bella back, they would’ve saw it coming.” And that’s why Jess said that,”But doesnt edward keep lik REALLY close tabs on bella?
wouldnt he stop it if she ever got into a fight? i really dnt thnk bella has anythng 2 b wrried bout.” And allichie concluded that,”hmmm, I guess thats true, well, we’ll just have to wait and find out!”
_______________________________________________
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?(I hope it does!)
And about today’s quote, Charlie was probably talking to Bella, preping her for this so-called “Fight.”
-And fawesome, I can’t wait to read that trilogy and Eclipse!
Bye!(Gee that took me a while to type too)!
first, that did make sense, i feel like a blond for not understanding! oh well! and the quote from 7/9 about Charlie saying “I never thought I needed to teach you to throw a punch. Guess i was wrong about that.” does anyone else see Charlie frowning in a confused type of way? i do.
for some reason, it always throws me off whenever i read a book that has a Jessica, Jessie, or Jess. i always start thinking of Jess my sister. its kind of wierd. it never does that to me when there’s a Katie or Ashley. but, i don’t think ive read half as many books about Katies or Ashleys than i do Jessicas. i think into things to much, i guess.
The Guardians of Time trilogy was REALLY fawsome! the third one was 413 pages when the other two were arond 300, so i was excited. i kind of wish i didn’t read them so quickly! i wanted it to keep going! Ash is always joking around and saying “just because its a trilogy, doesn’t mean you have to read it in 3 days” and then i usually say something about running that ends the conversation quickly. that and im usually trying to get reading again. she doesn’t get it. she gets all mad when someone tells her to take a brake on running, and then she doesn’t get why we don’t want to take a brake on reading.
almost 5 more days!!!!!!!!! whenever i say that out loud people are like “huh?” and then i realize they can’t read my mind. i am going to watch good morning America for the first time for when Stephenie Meyer comes on.
I CAN’T WAIT!
i forgot to say thank you for the explaination. THANKS!
i was just looking for Blue Boods 3, which i just found out is called Revelations. its schedualed for fall of 08. and 666 is coming out in Sept. this year!!!!!!!! i don’t know if any of you know this so i thought i would post it.
6 MORE DAYS!!!!!
thanks for telling us about blue bloods katie, I went to her site looking for information but no luck! (another book I have to wait for)*sigh*
Hello!
Hi Katie! You’re welcome on the explanation,gee, I just wish that I could’ve EXPLAINED it better.
And YES there’s alot of Jess’s in books/ female AND male.
And I DID infer a frown through the comma/pause in that quote. I loved it!
-And thinking about JESSICA STANLEY’S quote, maybe she was just referring to not winning prom queen?
– Hmm and I STILL haven’t read Blue Bloods. I can’t figure out what the fell is holding me back/ I mean it’s just LYING in my room as we speak.
And 666, is that a book series, if so what’s it about?!
And Stephenie Meyer’s going to be on Good Morning America? When?!WHAT TIME/WHAT DAY, WHICH STATION?!
-And only six?! I’m glad you’re keeping count, because I’ve lost count!
FELL YEAH!
Bye!
Oh and hi allichie!
i noticed the whol color change 2……….. at first i thought i did somin 2 the computer…. i was lik “o sh!t im gonna b in soooooooo much trouble 4 this!” thn i was “ooooohhhhhh it was changed” thn i was lik”im not gonna get in trouble afterall hey! im not gonna get in trouble afterall’ (said in a singsongy way)
yeah….. wat is 666…. and tht whol tim zone thng got me again … dangit…..
Hey Jess! Yeah now it kind of looks like the Midnighters spoiler zone. (I know, thought I did something to my computer too, I was refreshing for a couple of minutes). And yep, the time zones are pretty fannoying.
And I’m pretty sure that today’s Eclipse quote is sarcastic!
Bye!
TODAYS ECLIPSE QUOTE BETTER BE SARCASTIC! the way it was written makes Bella sound mean. i like Jacob and all, but i like Edward better. and if Bella picks Jacob over Edward, i will SCREAM!!!!
im guessing 666 will be about the devil or something. it said that there will be a short story about Dylan from in between Blue bloods and Masquerade! im REALLY excited. i cant wait!
i just realized, there is actually 6 more days from today. so either the timezones mixed up the clock on the website, or i don’t know. but there is six more days, at least where i live. but i don’t think there is a whole day difference where Stephenie Meyer lives and where i live. im not sure. im not good with time zones.
hi Demensiona, (i would shorten your name but i like it too much.) didn’t you say you live in Pheonix? my cousin (the one who spells gym jym) just got a job there. that was random, but i have nothing type.
i am actually kind of excited, i finally found a book i can read in one day!
i started Golden last night. i don’t know who its by though.
i was looking back at what i wrote before, and my typing has improved. that could have to do with i try and stop myself. but i still don’t catch everything. its also probably because im typing more than i used to.
thats looks too long for as little as i had to say.
hey, that last comment was by katie, me, not jess. i fate computers!!
Blue Bloods 3 is coming out? Gah! I wants it!
What are you guys talking about, a color change? What?
Hello!
Hi Katie!Haha, I think it’d sound harsh if Bella was talking to either Jacob or Rosalie, but if she’s talking to Edward, then that’s just funny!
And there’s no way that Bella’s going to end up w/ Jake, even though I fotally fove Jacob.
-And okay, yay, six more days! And no, there’s not a day’s difference.
And thanks on my name!I’ve been told that I live in the outskirts of Phoenix, the Sub division of Phoenix, but I don’t know. But accoording my mail, I live in Buckeye,AZ/ then again I have the Phoenix news….. So I don’t know!
But my mom works in Glendale, AZ where Stephenie Meyer lives/ so there’s probably only a 3hr difference from where you live.
-But your cousin got a job Phoenix? Fawesome!My Dad works in downtown Phoenix sometimes.
And 666? Hmm..sounds interesting!
And is Golden that book that has the Rapunzel looking girl on the cover?
-And your typing HAS improved/I haven’t noticed any typos/oh and I fate computers too!
Bye!
Hi capt.cockatiel!Ugh, didn’t see your comment.
Well we weren’t really talking about COLOR changes, more of the FORMAT of the spoiler zone/it looks like the MIDNIGHTERS Spoiler zone now.
Bye!
I don’t notice anything different at all abuot this Spoiler Zone, actually. Format-wise, I mean.

Bye Jess!
Oh and never mind the morning Jess, I just redid it. So there you go!
Bye/goodnight ^_^!
oh and the layout of the spoilers zone thing did change to look like the midnighters one. its becuase we have so many comments. it changes to look like that after a certain number i think.
do any of you go on justine larbalestier’s blog? if so, dont you love her thing above where you type in the comment (here it about the australian time zone) it says This blog strips away all capital letters. Your big letters all belong to me!
Hi!, William Becket IS HOT!!!!!!!! so is Micheal “Guy” Chislet. i think ispelled his name right. it probably isn’t. OH WELL! he’s got a cute accent!
Golden doesn’t have a rupunzel looking girl om the cover.
i really don’t have anything to type.
wow, IILWJ i didn’t see your comment!
ok just get one thing straight here… katie only like the academy is… for their looks which is okay…. i guess…. um i like BOTH their music AND their looks…… i prefer william over guy chislett…. and the nickname thng its very weird! they all ahv nicknames…… i only kno a coupl real names actually!!! so heres wat i can tell you : adam t siska-sisky buissnes wialliam beckett-bill micheal chislett-guy ther r lik two othrs ones name is butcher(nickname… not sure bout his real name) and mike… but i thnk thts his real name
did you notice that half the comments here are from the last month or two?
did anyone thnk its kinda funny how we all chose THIS spoiler zone 2 talk the most… well at least i did… i barely go 2 the othr ones…… i wonder how scott feels bout the fact we dont really talk bout his books all tht much
Hello!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Oh THAT’S why the format changed? Hmm, I would’ve never guessed!And I’ve never been on Justine’s blog, but I suppose I should!
Hi Katie! Yep, they’re fotally hot! And hmm.. no Rapunzel? I guess I’ll look on amazon.
Hi Jess! Haha, oh, you favor their looks AND the music? Fair enough!And yeah it is pretty funny that we chose THIS spoiler zone to talk the most/ I suppose that once you’ve reached this spoiler zone, you’ve most likely read most if not all of scott books. And I don’t know how Scott feels about our random talk, but he seems okay w/ it to me!
Hi allichie! Yeah I have noticed, I’ve been on this spoiler zone awhile now,(but I believe that Katie and Jess have been on longer than me, which is fool). And it’s never been this…. hmm, I don’t know..consistently talkative/ but all I know is that it’s fotally fawesome.
-And today’s quote was dangerously hot!
Bye!
So what do you guys think is the subject matter for today’s Eclipse quote?
I’m thinking marriage.
^_^
ok bout the being on longer thng???? katie and i hav been reading thm but we really ddnt post much till demensiona strted posting…….. we waited 2 see if we could find some names tht stayed on and we could lik recognize wen we came… just 2 be safe…….
hi!!!!
Demensiona, i LOVE that name. im always walking aroud saying it for no apparent reason. weird. im not sure, but i think capt. cockatiel has been on longer? hmmmmmmmmmm, let me check.
YUP! capt. cockatiel was the first one of us, but the real first one was someone called Little Willow.
about Golden, its by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. READ IT. ITS GOOD!
and todays quote better be about marriage. but it could be if she wants to be friends with Jacob or stay with Edward. i don’t know. but i am very happy, i have maneged to save $45.91 that i know of fro Eclipse! i never knew i could save money. its usually burning a hole through my pocket!
this tuesday the wait is over! 4 MORE DAYS TILL ECLIPSE COMES OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jess and i have a challenge. we are going to see if our votes for music that usually isn’t on the top 20, will actually make it! if you want you can vote for some too! im trying to see if i can get some of the rap off it. just for fun though. im going to vote for Evanescence, The Academy is… (for jess), and any other kind that you normaly don’t see. i like Cobra starship. but that is more of a band made by bands.
we do talk on this one alot. i never talked on the other ones like i do this one. when Extras comes out, are we all going to talk on that one instead of this one?
i have found that when you spray bath and bodyworks spray on pen, it looks like it exploded. its pretty fool. but all it does is bleed the ink and make it smell good. i was looking for something to do while i was waiting for the page to load.
our cousin is moving to Pheonix next month. i think he is going to miss us more! we have a really close family. its small so you see everybody pretty much every day.
BYE!
im sooooo bored. *banging head on computer desk* i just found out that there is going to be a sequel to Golden. its called Platinum.
about todays quote, i hope that doesn’t mean that Bella and Edward aren’t going to get married, or that Bella won’t become a vampire, or that Jacob is going to die. i could come up with a hundred different scenerios for that quote, and for some reason they all are bad. UUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE WAIT IS AGONIZING! at least there is only 3 days. TUESDAY BETTER COME QUICK!
Hey guys!(Sorry that I was a little absent yesterday, I was glued to Nancy Grace and Dateline NBC’s to Catch a Predator yesterday for some reason).
Hi Jess!Safe is GOOD!
Hi Katie!Thanks again on the name!Oh and you’re right, capt.cockatiel was has been on the longest which is fotally fawesome! And I’ll definetly check out Golden, and now Platinum?! And wow, $45.91 is famazing in my book!/I’m FALWAYS burning holes in my pockets!
Yeah I am a little more talkative here which is fool! Extras comes out on October 2/ so I’m not sure where’ll talk, probably on both zones!And yeah, it’s pretty fun voting for vidoes on VH1, “I” enjoyed myself!
_______________________________________________
And yeah for yesterday’s quote, you’re probably right/ Charlie was probably referring to Bella’s relationship w/ Jacob and Edward.
And for today’s quote, well since Bella said it directly to Alice’s face, it can’t be THAT serious. I’m thinking that Bella’s betting against the fact that Renee would be presumely “okay” w/ the engagement.
-And you no what’s random and wierd? While reading Twilight, I ALWAYS envisioned the Cullens wearing these hot black tuxedos and black conservative suits/ dresses 24/7. I don’t know why…
And yep, Tuesday better come quick!

Haha, I’m just kidding! I mean, “I’d” believe it!
Bye!
this tryin 2 predict wat these quotes mean is lik….. getting me alll….. idk…. suspicious on how well im gonna like the book………. i mean i lik jacob and all as a character in the book but if she somehow chooses him over edward i will DEFINATLY throw the book across the room and never touch it again…………. oh and wat r we gonna talk about when the book actually comes out??? i mean its basically ALL we talk about……… im sensin tht we r gonna have a bit of a mute period and i dnt htnk i like tht… i lik talkin 2 u guys… well exept 4 ofcourse katie…
omg !!! it just took me 2 tries 2 send tht…. wouldnt even let me send AT ALL last night!!! i HATE computers!
last nights message??? i was informin all that lik rock and the style that clandestine (the line pete wentz owns) has signed with dkny…… the line is comin out this fall… for more info go to http://www.falloutboyrock.com it will tell u ther in the news where 2 go 2 find out more 🙂
Demensiona, for some reason, im always imagining the worst things, and your always saying the good things. GOD, I HOPE YOUR THE RIGHT ONE!
2 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!
THE WAIT IS TERRIBLE!
THE BOOK BETTER BE FAWSOME!
i don’t think ill have to worry about it thogh. the first 2 were fawsome.
today we went to the mall. i just went on wishful thinking that the book would be there, but it wasn’t. it shocked me that my mom and ash helped me look for it. i was like “ITS CALLED ECLIPSE AND IT HAS A RED BROKEN RIBBON ON IT, AND THE BACKROUND IS BLACK!” they were getting annoyed. anyway, although i didn’t leave with a book, i left with a cute black shirt/dress, and some new shoes. but then i dragged them out of there before i spent the remaining money for my book.and when we left, there was a poster with Eclipse on it, and my mom noticed it and asked if it was popular like hp. i hope its not THAT popular. i don’t want to have to by a voucher a day in advance, to ensure ill get a book. that is CRAZY!
jess is going CRAZY about all this FOB stuff. but i have to say, i like their jeans.
and jess i want you to know one thing, I FEEL THE SAME WAY! if you don’t get it, ill probably be in the living room reading.
ok what r we talkin about besides eclipse even though im SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! 3 more days YAY!!!
hhmmm…. sarah… either its REALLY late and i dnt remmbr u or u havnt been on here at all or 4 a while… is somin wrong wit me i cant seem 2 remmbr u????? if ur new explain urself…….. jump into these convos… i feel really bad 4 the last person in here tht tried 2 just jump in…. i thnk the name was lik celia and we just sorta ignored her made me feel kinda crappy aftr tht
Hello!(11:28 p.m.)
Hi katie! Yeah I hope I’m right too!Haha, yeah it’s fun to get the whole family involved! And yeah, I’m always thinking about that ribbon!(The poster’s hanging on my bedroom wall)!
But I’m always checking my hotmail to see if the book’s coming out early, but it’s a pretty lost cause!
Hi Sarah! Hmm besides Eclipse…. I’ll get back to you!^_^
Hi Jess! I can’t see the whole Bella/Jake thing happening in the future, even though I fove Jacob!
And no worries!Well first of all, we’ll probably be talking about Breaking Dawn, and Host!But I wasn’t always talking about Eclipse, I mean I was talking for awhile about a possible connections between TLD,Midnighters, and Uglies/ and diseases(that was interesting), and other random books….
So no worries Jess! And thanks for the fawesome link!
-And Sarah’s not new, she just hasn’t been on for a while, so don’t feel crappy!
Bye!
HI!
2 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!
(i was just listening to breathe no more, and when amy lee said, “and i breathe no more” i typed “more” twice)
HI SARAH!!!!! jess was asking me if i remembered you last night. and it was midnight so it could just be to late for her, BUT I REMEMBERED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we are not talking about anything in particular. just say something, and if we have something to respond to it, we’ll say something! but either way we’ll say HI!!!!
im in a really cheerful mood today. but that could be because THERE IS ONLY TWO MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i don’t think ive evertyped faster. that could mean im spelling things wrong though. but im getting better at it!
whenever Jasper talks, i always imagine him talking in a really dreamy soft soft voice. same for Edward and Carlisle. not so much Emmet, his voice is a little more obnoxious.
2 MORE DAYS!!!! FAWSOME!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do you think it bothers Scott that we use the word fawsome for other books that aren’t his? i mean, he did kind of invent the word.
sorry, that says two days
actually scott didnt invent the word. the very last few pages of th last days are acnowledgement pages and it says thank you to “the girl’s name” for fawsome. i said the girls name because i dont have my book right now to see what it is.
ooooooo, thats finteresting, then whoever “the girl” is should be proud. ill go get my copy and check who “the girl” is………………………………………… her name is Morgan Butts (odd last name to have) oo and her friends helped with it, finteresting.
i remember you now !!!! ok srry…. it was actually a bit past midnight and my brain was lik fried i guess…. sry!!! and 2 more days!!! im readin a trilogy and im only on the second book…. i kno i can do it but i better get readin!!!! also…. i was thnking tht instead of always having 2 wait and u kno post everythng on this site….. (spoilers can b really hard wen we r readin eclipse) we should give each other our emails……. mines bookqueen07@yahoo.com
seeya!
All that I can say is that I have chills and goose bumps from todays ECLIPSE QUOTE! Fotally fawesome!!!!!
Hi Katie!Fell yeah! Two more days!And “Breathe no More?” Hmm.. never heard of it, I’ll have to download it! And no, I’ve heard the word “Fugly” before I even read TLD, so I already had the gist of it.
Hi allichie! Noted!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!Finteresting, I didn’t ketch that!
Bye!!!!
Ugh! These freaking time zones! Sorry Jess!
-Fawesome idea!Okay:
Jumb8278@yahoo.com (For pictures especially)

fangleous
I was looking at my mom’s letters because she was playing Scrabble and I made up a new word
It’s a twisted version of fabulous
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article The Last Days Spoiler Thread, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
Hello!
Hi Jess! Noted on Katie’s email! Oh and you can go on either one, I think hotmail is a little more trustworthy(And for pics, I just meant twilight cast/just a heads up)!
Hi allichie! Ooh fawesome word!
Hi Daniel! Welcome To The Last Days Spoiler Thread! Sorry, we’ve kind of directed our conversations elsewhere but we’ll get back on track! (Somehow)! ^_^
Bye!
HI!!!!!!!!!!1 MORE DAY!!!!!!!!!! actually 9 hours, but I ount that as one more day.
im kinda sad the quotes are over, BUT ACTUALLY READING THEM IN THE TEXT IS BETTER!
Daniel! HI, fawsome, someone new! and if your lost, well, i am alot too, so i just read and if i want to know, i ask, but it’s also fun to try and figure out what we are talking about. when i read back to my earlier posts, it takes me a LONG time to figure out what i was saying. toooooo many words spelled wrong. which makes me ask, how did anyone else figure it out?!
“Quite a pity how things turned out, isn’t it?†— Jane
oooooooooo, It looks like Jane is comming back, maybe she’s disappointed that Bella actually turned into a vampire, or she’s being sarcastic and is about to kill Bella!
i could have sworn the girls name was megan butts. oh well close enough.my emails are dessimetrics13@aol.com (i know it should be dessometrics. i changed it on purpose. my friends always did it with an i while trying to im/email me so i just did it that way) my other one is PhilliePhan03@msn.com
Hello!
Hi Katie! Yes, the quotes and the anticipation are coming to and end! But you’re right, it’ll be fun to test our hypothesis(idk how to right it in plural,haha)! And you made the same mechanical errors that I made/make, so I was enabled to read the content!
Hi allichie!Oh my gosh, you said the same exact things that I inferred from that quote!Fawesome!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Noted on your email addresses!
Bye!
Oh and this is random but do you remember this part of the Eclipse excerpt?:”..He pulled me into his arms at once, just like he had in the parking lot, and kissed me again.”
-Okay pay attention to “parking lot.” Now Bella had said that they were both in mortal danger and I only know of 2 parking lots: The School Parking lot(no danger there), and the FIRST BEACH PARKING LOT IN LA PUSH!
And then remember back to the whole “Stab thing.” You know, I couldn’t imagine where Bella would get access to somekind of stabbing utensil until NOW.
-JACOB keeps a POCKET KNIFE in the glove department of the “Rabbit”.
Pretty finteresting huh!^_^
Demensiona, that is pretty finteresting, i never thought of that. and, this sounds very blond but, what mechanical errors?
and my computer won’t play music anymore. thats making me mad. i hope i didn’t break it. my computer teacher says you can’t break a computer, but you really can. in 2 ways, take a hammer to it, or srew it up so much it won’t work. evidently he hasn’t done this yet.
okay, HI!
i have a problem, i finaly did the nerdfighter theme song thing, youll find me on there as katie, and probably the last one on it. but im fotally confused on how to do the my pants forum. the words are so tiny i can just barely read them! and i have no idea what to use as a username. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
and there is, like, 2 MORE HOURS and then it is officialy August 7th. abot 12 more hours and ill probably be on my way to borders, or sitting in a chair reading the actual book. IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Katie: It doesn’t matter what your username is. There’s some solution to the tiny font, but I forget where John posted it. It may be in The Videos Themselves.
OH. MY. GOD. I did NOT JUST WIN AN EXTRAS SHIRT. No. I did. YEEAH!
[Hey Guys, this might be my last comment for like a week, I’m trying to avoid Eclipse spoilers], and it’s 12:50 a.m. haha!
Hi Katie!Yeah I thought that was pretty interesting! And no that’s not blonde/ basically just spelling errors, punctuation ect.
-And no you’re right, you CAN break a computer/ Acutally I think it’d be quite easy for me to destroy my fetarded computer right now! But these days, who can live w/o a computer.. right?^_^
-And I’m so excited for Eclipse too! TOO excited!
Hi capt.cockatiel!You just won an Extras shirt?! How fawesome!
Bye!
at this point im more prone to take a hammer to my sisters head! she keeps geting on the darn phone! she knows it screws up the internets connection! we have dsl so we can talk on the phone and be on the computer at the same time, but it doesn’t work the greatest. the internets connection slows to the point where its going so slow that it find the stupid server! and im already snappy enough! i can’t get to Borders right now (no one can take me) so im stuck here with no book to read! someone should be here to take me in a half hour. but what if i get there and there sold out, or they didn’t get the books on time!!!!!!!!!!!! it was said on Good Morning America, that it could come close to the next Harry Potter. I DON’T WANT TO STAND IN LINE AT MIDNIGHT JUST TO GET MY BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!! thats crazy!!!!!!!! its another reason why im thinking about reading the HP books now that its all out! if i get attached, i won’t have to stand in any lines or get any vouchers.
UUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! the best day ever could end up being the worst.
UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!! on the phone AGAIN!!!!!!! it won’t even let me send this.
THIS IS SOOOOO NOT FAWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i can’t even check my e-mail cause the website is being worked on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think me writting while im waiting for it to work again is making it worse. *sigh*
*waiting*
*sigh*
UUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its not like i have something better to do.
finally. sorry about making go on with the page.
did anyone else stay up till midnight just to watch the eclipse countdown end? lolz. i wasn’t tired so i was like hmmm i wonder if i can stay on the computer long enough to watch it stop? i did. then i imed everyone going ECLIPSE IS OUT!!!!!!!!!! and edited my aim profile becuase i was bored.
me i was so not tired so i did
how wierd. our computer and our phone up and decided that they didn’t want to work after a very short and finteresting storm (it was VERY interesting, and i fate storms, but this one only lasted for like a half hour, and then drizzled for a while. and started again till 5) so here i am, at my moms work, at 10:25 pm. she had to come in late, and for once me and jess were dying for a computer. she might post to. but the keyboard is wierd. it is on like a slant going down on boyh sides, and the keys are split through the middle. weird. mine is just flat. its taking me forever to type.
I FINISHED ECLIPSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT WAS SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!
but im not going to put any spoilers on here for the people who havn’t read it yet. if any one else who is DONE with the book wants to talk about it, just e-mail me. (ill put it down here, just in case someone wants it, twinkytwin94@yahoo.com) i took about 15-20 hours to finish. i didn’t count i just read. at the end i was sad it was over, but i was suddenly excited by the knowledge that i could read it again. im not sure why. ive never had a reaction to a book like that before!
i had, likr, one sip of that mcdonalds, vanilla iced coffee, and my stomache is already jumping. caffiene USUALLY doesnt do that.
(sorry for any spelling mistakes i didn’t catch. it is FREALLY HARD to type on this type of computer!)
BYE!!!!! ECLIPSE IS FAWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that DEFFINATLY doesn’t even describe it!!!!!)
jeez, this thing is really touchy.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there isn’t any extras for Eclipse yet!!!!! i guess i knew there wouldn’t be. its too early. it would spoil too much too. but still, i wanted them bad!
for some reason, jess was just laughing her head off over a comment about me taking a hammer to the computer i sent a while ago. i wonder why? must have had too much coffee. by the way, youre probably on this too, how is that coffe? DON’T go into any hysterical laughing fits!
omg katie o kno wat u mean!!! my keyboard is just like the one we have at home but lik if i accidentally hit a key it goes CRAZY!!! i mean the one we hav at home doesnt just type a whole bucha crap if u accidentaly hit somin cuz on ours u hav to push the key alll the way down but this one is hard cuz u BARELY have 2 touch the keys at all!!! weird!!! hi everyone!! im sooo glad no on ehas put any spoilers on here yet cuz i havnt finished reading it yet!!! but im gonna use up as much computer time as i can here since i wnt b able 2 use my computer till friday……. we cant use our phones either! i dnt remeber if katie mentioned tht lil tid bit….. so i havnt been able 2 talk 2 my friends or boyfriend for lik 2 days!!! which may be okay for somone else but half my friends thnk im ignorin them and ya kno are gettin all mad cuz they thnk im mad and my boyfriend is lik WHERE DID YOU GO!!! i was lik….. ummmmmmm well i could try and explain this 2 u but id rather listen 2 u cuz its REALLY stupid!!!! oh wells!!!! ill proly b bak in a bit but i got other message boards 2 visit!
oh this is just great…….. i found this eclipse topic thng on the falloutboyrock.com ebsite and logged katie in with my name and stuff so tht she can talk on it (its for ppl who finished the book only… i havnt finished it yet) but wen i got bak it wouldnt let me hav it signed on in 2 places so now i hav 2 wait till katiie is done……. katie if ur seein this com tell me
okayyyyysssss thts weird i sent those 2 lik 10 minutes b4 katie sent her lst message and for som reason hers is b4 mine… lik i said WEIRD!! and the coffee is great thnks 4 asking!!! could use a lil vanilla tho!! and i omfg !!! i swear this place must b haunted!!! im so creeped out…… so i went to the bathroom and lik i was just washing my hands and i saw and heard the door open then drop closed but lik we i looked NOONE came in and wen i opened the door 2 see wat was goin on NOONE was ther!! and i keep hearin thngs lik ppl walikin round wen ther is only a couple of ppl here!!! and this weird laughin noise……………………. oh yeah and im at the receptionist desk in front of a big window tht anyone can see me thru away from every one else… CAN YOU SPELL ‘CREEPY’!!!!!!!
YEAH!!! STILLLL HEARIN CREEPY NOISES!!!!! yikies!!!!!!
THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WARNING- noone has to read this next part i will say when yoyu can read in caps.

uh katie if u havnt noticed a person like me DOESNT HAVE HAPPY THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where did my messege go, did i send it? there was two. oh well. tell me if you see them jess.

YOU DO HAVE A HAPPY THOUGHT, JESS! think of your boyfriend. i would rather think of Edward. id actually like to READ abot him.
ilike typing the word read. all the letters are on the same side of the keybord.
probably flipping through channels. i can hear you typing to. i dont think i want to get up. it is kind of creepy. how does mom work here.
hehe… tht is sorta funny bout the word ‘read’ and as for the happy thoughts tht doesnt count cuz if i thnk 2 much bout him ill get sad cuz hes not here 🙁
we should stop in a minute. we’ll annoy the people who are going to read this later if they want.
uh u thnk it is creepy??????? IM IN FRONT OF A BIG WINDOW WHERE EBERY ONE OUTSIDE CAN SEE ME AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF PLACES AROUND ME WHERE SOME ONE CAN SNEAK UP ON ME!!! ur at least close 2 mom and her friend……… im REALLY far!!!

Amazing.
Yeeah.
Oh wait, or do you mean amusing?

loved eclipse… any one else finish theirs yet?
i did. i finished yesterday at like 1 am.
I’m back!!!!!
Hey guys!!! I just finished Eclipse yesterday at like 1:09a.m.! (So that was like five days? Gee, I didn’t make my goal of a week! Oh well, it was torture for me to even read Eclipse THAT slow)!
Gee it’s never been so fawesome being wrong!!!!! Oh my gosh, Eclipse was so HOT!!!!!
As of right now, it’s definetely my favorite! SO hilarious!
______________________________________________
-Hahaha!And love the conversation Katie and Jess! It was quite entertaining!^_^
Hi Katie!!!! Yep, the Twilight series will/and is DEFINETELY the next HP!
-And I know! No outtakes! But I can wait!!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Yep, I finished around 1:00 yesterday too!
Hi Sarah!
Hi Jess!Yes oh my gosh C-R-E-E-P-Y …CREEPY! I agree w/ Katie, definitely Ghostbusters material!
And hi capt.cockatiel!
Bye guys!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!! she FINALLY finished it so i can reread it. actually thats what i have been doing. if been making myself stop reading every one and a while. otherwise i read them tooo fast!
and when i was reading, i was like, “YES, WE WERE WRONG!!!!!!!!” because some of the stuff we thought of was kind of sad. almost morbid. the whole stabbing thing worked out funny. definatly not what we were thinking.
omg… i dont think that it is a good idea for us to talk bout eclipse on here for those who have not finished it or are new and have not read it… so anyone who wnats to talk about eclipse can email me… if you forgot my email and dont feel like scrolling up for it its: bookqueen07@yahoo.com
jess, thats a good idea. it would be an even better idea on your part, if it was your idea. but either way, you can e-mail me to at twinkytwin94@yahoo.com
Hi guys!
Hi katie!Yep, pretty funny how all of the quotes fell into place! Rereading’s fawesome!
Hi Jess! Yeah, that IS a good idea!
Again:
diopside324@hotmail.com
jumb8278@yahoo.com
[And noted on your emails Katie and Jess!I’ve got them now memorized]!
Bye!
i love last days it took me awile to find how the two books tied in to each outher i tink u should right a theird
once again my emails are:
PhilliePhan03@msn.com (i check that more often)
Dessimetrics13@aol.com
and my aim s/n is the second one without the @aol thing.
You know how in the last days, cal and lace were in it for the last few chapters? do you think thats what it will be like with extras? will tally and david make a cameo appearance? what do you guys think?
Tally and David probably will. because just like in TLD, they are the main characters. besides, i don’t think that Scott would just leave them out.
NO OUTTAKES YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so NOT fool. i can’t wait for those to come on. what if there isn’t any or she doesn’t put them on. uggghh!
okay this is wierd….. i just got a confirmation email thing from bandmerch sayin that mt order has been shipped! but i dodnt order anything! havnt in like a month…. last time i ordered somin i didnt get an email… so my best guess is that was late… but if i do get somin what should i do? i mean someone is obviously payin for it… but the weird thing is that my adress is perfect and everything… then my friend asked if i asked my mom to order anything for me… i said i didnt think so…. but i guess that happened to her… so i guess ill just have 2 wait and ask her!
Hello!
Welcome Sara! Yep,Peeps and TLD were fotally fawesome!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan! Okay, noted on your email(s)! And all I know is that Tally’s making an appearance for sure.
Hi Katie! There HAS to be outtakes! ^_^
Hi Jess!Wow that IS wierd. Hmm.. I wouldn’t know what to do. I’d probably send it back to it’s sender. But then again, what if it’s really FOR you? Hmm… I don’t know….
Bye!
WHEN IS SHE GOING TO PUT ON THE OUTTAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gees katie! dont have a heart attack!!!!! take a deep breath im cure she wont fail us! she hasnt yet! it would be a pity for her to start now!
Hello
Hi Katie!Yes BREATHE(but I fotally understand, I’m just as anxious as you are)!
There will be outtakes Katie. It’s just that some people haven’t even purchased Eclipse yet, because they want to attend book signings. And for admission for the book signings, you have to buy the book right then in there.
I suppose she wants to wait until everyone’s pretty much on the same page, and when she’s not so busy.
Hi Jess! I agree, I’m confident that she won’t start now!
Bye!

Hi capt.cockatiel! Lucky you! There’s supposed to be a signing in Phoenix tommorrow, but I don’t believe that the exact address was stated!Ugh!Haha, yeah spammers.
Hi allichie!I know, signings are either too far away, or held at times of inconvinience!
Hi Jess!I didn’t know you guys lived in Toledo! Fawesome!(But yeah, book signings are usually always held in the same places/ places that you’re most likely not going to be)! And good questions!
Um.. you know I’d rather not address you guys by THOSE names, but out of courtesy,hi you two.
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!You’re so lucky!
Bye guys!
WAIT OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“MY SISTER’S KEEPER” IS GOING TO BE MADE INTO A MOVIE!
THEY START FILMING EARLY OF NEXT YEAR!!!!!!
http://www.jodipicoult.com/
(Can we handle it)?!
NO WAY!!!!! I will probably sob the whole time. Cool author people to come to Langhore every so often. So far I met Maureen Johnson and will be meeting Stephenie Meyer and am begging Dj MacHale (author of the Pendragon books) to come.
sorry… that last katie message was me… i forgot to change the name…. and they are making my sisters keeper a movie?? yes! wait no, that one made me cry, but i do believe that i will drag my friends to see it with me when it comes out! i gotta go call my only friend that actually read it and tell her! thankis for the info Demensiona! see ya!
*GASP* Extras tour. In Seattle. *faints*
My Sisters Keeper a movie??? i wonder whos playing in it but that is sooo fawsome!
and where Jess and i live, YES VERY BORING!!!!!!!! our city is famous for its glass and the baseball team Mudhens. and chances are youve only heard of it if you have seen M*A*S*H. it on Hallmark, Klinger is from Toledo. if you havent guessed that every time he says “HOLY TOLEDO!!!!!” actually Jamie-Farr is from Toledo. he knew my nana (another word for grandmother) and then Jess and i met him when we were dragged to a womens golf thing with our dad, in an attempt to get us to like it.
here are a couple of things to think about, jess found them:
How long a minute is, depends on what side of the bathroom door you’re on.
Ever notice that people who spend money on beer, cigarettes and lottery tickets are always
complaining about being broke and not feeling well?
I am a nobody, nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.
If life deals you lemons, make lemonade; if it deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys.
I don’t approve of political jokes. I’ve seen too many of them get elected.
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the “terminal”?
I live in my own little world but it’s OK, everyone knows me here.
im forcing jess to listen to a 5 minutes song. HEHEHEHEHE!!!!
toledo rocks. i have no idea what state its in or anything but it has the coolest name ever. (leoplorodon also rocks.)
although leoplorodon’s not a place… it’s a dinosaur… (sorry for the randomness)
Hey guys!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!I agree, I’m going to be crying my eyes out! Oh my gosh you’re SO lucky!
– Toledo’s in Ohio.
-And leoplorodon?Finteresting, I like randomness!
Hi capt.cockatiel! Oh my gosh, you’re SO lucky too!
Hey Jess!Oh okay on the name mishap! And you’re very welcome!
Hi Katie!Haha, finteresting!And yep, there’s going to be a “My Sister’s Keeper,” movie and Cameron Diaz is going to be Sara/ the mom. Hmm, one of my cousins calls her grandmother nana too!
Bye guys!
Ha ha ha, leoplorodon.
Sadly, though, I’m not going to buy Extras so I’ll only have two books for Scott to sign. Would he sign books twice, do you think?
lol. maybe. you should get in the back of the line once he signs it and open to another page. lol. why aren’t you buying extras? you are going to read it though right?
Yeah, I’m going to read it. But I’m getting it from the library. I don’t have money to spend on many books…
I got all my books signed last year except Uglies and Blue Noon which I just got, so maybe I will just open the others to another page? Ha, that would be funny. And I may have to bring MorM with me, too… This is becoming exciting!
leoplorodon leoplorodon leoplorodon
thats fun to say!
oh and what’s so bad about the five minute song? (just curious)
nothing is wrong with the 5 minute long song exept for the fact that it is really long and i wanted to listen to somin else but she was making me wait… (the song i wanted to listen to? LAX to O’hare by the academy is… )
the other part is, it doesnt have alot of lyrics. just a couple that go over and over again.
IM READING BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE!!!!!! now i want to see the movie.
im going to go finish a couple books before school starts thursday.
AND TOLEDO IS BORING!
I love Blood and Chocolate! It’s so good!
Incidentally, I had to use the book as a prop for a skit in French. I’m two years younger than everyone else in the class so they were all “What is she reading?”
I FINISHED!!!!!!!!!! and it was really FAWSOME!!!!!!!!!!
i get that all the time. everyone is always asking me what im reading now.half the time im hesitant to tell them!!! but i get even more weird reactions when i tell them what the book is actually about. when i had Blue Bloods at school, i got the weirdest looks! and im like, “its just a book!” a really good one, too. but sometimes i actually get some people to try a book. my friend told me about one im going to try, its called Running With Scissors.
UUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!! i have to go clean. ashley has a team dinner (something her crosscountry team does) and i have to clean the house for it. and she probably isnt going to do much. i understood when she had to go to practises and had homework. but she has a couple stress fractures and cant run for a while. you would think that shed have to do some work too, but not as much as jess and i have to do. this kind of thing always gets me fired up.
oh my god katie i know what you are talking about with that whole book thing…. i get some pretty wierd looks toooo! the funniest and most comical is when i was reading this book called “day of the dead” it was appropriately (sp?) named believe me it was definately not a book to be reading in 7th grade, but you should have ssen these looks! one of my teachers picked it up once and was about to open it asking about why it was called the day of the dead, and i had to make up this whole story about how there was this wierd religion and they had this “holiday” called the day of the dead which i think may actually be real, and i told her (shes a nun mind you) that there was this like 50 year old murder and people were just starting to try to solve it. which was half of the truth but it was ALOT more gruesome than that. so in general most of it was a lie so i had probly just commited the worst sin, lying to a nun, that a 7th grader couyld really commit, but come on! i wasnt about to get myself thrown in the principles office for bad reading habits! i have a lot of funny book stories like that but that is by far the best one yet! anyone else got book title problems?!?
Hi guys!
Hi capt.cockatiel! Hmm.. I’m not sure on the signing.And I agree, it sounds exciting! Ooh, and make sure that you bug the library for Extras! And yep, Blood and Chocolate is fotally fawesome!
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!
Hey allichie!
Hi Jess! 5 minute song?Fool!
Hi Katie! Yay, I’m glad you’ve finshed Blood and Chocolate! And Toledo can’t be THAT bad, can it? ^_^
-And yeah, people always ask me what I’m reading now too(especially teachers). Haha, it was fun to see people’s reaction when I had TLD on my desk, haha!And some people nearly had a heart attack when they saw the thickness of Twilight!And Twilight looks like it’s just 100 pages to me now!
-And you have to clean by yourself? I mean I love to clean, but still….
Bye guys!
Sorry Jess, didn’t see you’re comment!
-Haha, fawesome book story!Umm, as for book titles? Hmm… I’d have to get back to you on that one!
Bye!
Well, no title problems but in, I think, seventh grade I was reading a book that had a horse on the cover (I don’t know what the big deal was but) a couple of boys saw it and said something like “aww, look at the horsey” or “you must really love horses”
In 6th grade I loved horses so I guess I had a reputation for being the “horse girl”
Now I’m “the artist”
Hmmm… Blood and Chocolate, I’ll have to read that! Sounds pretty interesting, who’s the author?
I was reading 24 Girls in 7 Days (which is a really funny book) and my teacher gave me a weird look. It was funny.
Blood and Chocolate is Annette Curtis Klause (i think theres an e at the end…. but im not sure)
whats 27 girls in 7 days about? way do i want to know?! hehehehehe….
“Hello, this is Rachel” Rachel read TLDs and Uglies, and im on the phone with her.
i just read Avalon High by Meg Cabot. it was really good, im goinfg to call the library to see if they have the next book in the series. i started it last night, and Jess was surprised that i finished it today. im going to read as many books as i can before tomorrow, thats when school starts. and i read 3 since saturday. i could have read more, but Old Magic took an extra day.
Twilight, New Moon, AND Eclipse dont look that big at all. last night, Ash told me that for her, a long book was 300 pages. and i was like “GEEZ, 600 PAGES ISNT LONG FOR ME!!!!!!” she looked at me like i was crazy! if its good, its never going to be long enough.
i dont have that many book stories, except that i once said that there was a book that i read and didnt even get to finish my sentence, people were asking me what book i hadnt read. it was embaressing and funny at the same time. sometimes i dont understand why people dont like to read. and then i dont understand why i like to read.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it wont let me see the brotherhood2 website!!
STUPID COMPUTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ooo, i finally did the my pants forum thing. i dont know why i just kept putting it off.
Yay, NERDFIGHTERS! Yeah, there are some technical difficulties in My Pants.
24 Girls in 7 Days is about a guy trying to find a date to the prom. It’s not dirty. 😛 It’s funny, though. It’s by Alex Bradley.
lol. that sounds so funny. i could just imagine the looks. :). Have any of you ever read the Maximum Ride books by James Patterson? They are AMAZING. (although it took me about 50 pages into the angel experiment to realize that max was a girl…)
yes, I read maximum ride and the same thing happened to me. I didn’t realise max was a girl until Iggy and Gazzy started saying “she”
i know! it was a little bit after the part where she was saying long hair sucks and then the kids kept saying she and i was like wait max is a girl?!?!
I never read Maximum Ride. My sister did, though.
So I went to the Stephenie Meyer signing. It wasn’t any fun at all. D:
Hey guys!
I’ll address all of your comments soon! But wait!
What capt.cockatiel?!Why?! WHAT HAPPENED!
0_0
Alright. Here’s why the signing was bad:
First of all, there were LOTS of people there. But I expected that. I was very out of place among the “I love Edward” T-shirts, though. There were questions and stuff, but mostly it was people going up to the mike saying “Stephenie Meyer, you have changed my life!” Which got kind of boring after a while.
Then for the actual book signing you had to be called up in letter groups according to the letter on your ticket to get a book signed. If you hadn’t bought Eclipse you didn’t get your books signed to you. (Like with your name in them.) So I didn’t get one signed to me. You had to hand your book to a bookstore staff member who then handed it to Stephenie Meyer. She didn’t say anything to me at all.
Basically, the best part of the night was a guy wearing a bright yellow shirt that said “Go Fetch a Space Heater” because it was funny.
what the hell is with all this porn crap!?!? sorry bad day
From the blog-mistress:: Sorry about that. I’m working hard to get rid of it all.
maybe i should get a porny name… seems to be the trend… just kidding!
Stupid spammers! It’s just so… weird that they would come here…
hhmmmmmmm….. i guess this is what happens when im not on for a day or two.
but i actually have nothing to say!!!
my question for Capt. cockatiel was already answered. but that really isnt fawsome! when i go to a sighning, i hope its really fun.
i smell popcorn.
Just checking in here. Glad to see you’re all still chatting amongst yourselves.
And I got rid of some of the spam. Yargh.
I just realized that TLD is available in paperback now. No one told me . . .
Bloody Penguins.
ummm really scott or spammers? seems you cant tell these days!
I’d guess it’s really scott. nothing about porn in the name and that person is gone.
spammers…. *tisk,tisk* WELL ITS A GOOD THING THAT THEY ARE GONE!!!!!
ummmm…. im bored, i got some booksyesterday, but i have to do homework before i read. thats what im supposed to being doing now. but as you can see im not. i FATE homework, WITH A VENGANCE!
ugggghhhh, i guess i better go do homw work.
i dont mind schoool, its just when i get home, id rather read a book.
ooohhh, i forgot to say: HI SCOTT!!!!! glad to see something posted by you. i cant wait to read Extras!
hmmmm…. i was looking up pictures of Micheal “guy” Chislet, and a bunch of Scott Westerfeld things came up.
you are right it could really be scott….. but it could also be mean people trying to get book nerds exitied about somimething that isnt true! ooo yikes! jessie is starting ti doubt scott westerfeld! time to pull out uglies and remind myself how busy that genius is!
(color=red)(b)HI(/b)(/color)
hmmm… doesn’t work
yes, I am bored
i was scrolling down and saw a message from nick asking what an ap course was. i wonder what happened to all those people that used to comment here with us.
they’ve probably moved on to greater things
WHAT COULD BE GREATER THAN US!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE WHOLE SCOTT WESTERFELD WEB SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if its that, THEY ARE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!
alll i ever do is talk on this thing…. which will get me in trouble with jess in a minute……………..
maybe the westerboard or actually reading his books
that could be true…………… and jess is here, about ready to inflict pain, i think
BYE!!!!!!

Hello!
(You guys, I think that question might have been rhetorical)But anyhow:
-Hi capt.cockatiel! I’ve GOT to join nerdfighters!
-Hey Jess! Yep FOBrock.com MUST be fotally fawesome!
-Hi Katie! Yep I fate HW too (well at least College Algebra). And I know! Stephenie Meyer’s site looks fotally FREAT right now!
And have you SEEN the cover of HOST! COME ON!
IS SHE TRYING TO MAKE ME FINSANE! THAT COVER’s FREAKING FAWESOME!
-And the scottwesterfeld homepage looks clean and fool to right now!
Bye guys!
And Oh my gosh you guys! I just found this new book on Amazon from one of my favorite authors!
“Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac,”by Gabrielle Zevin.
-It sounds SO good and it recieved 5 STARS!
http://www.amazon.com/Memoirs-Teenage-Amnesiac-Gabrielle-Zevin/dp/0374349460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-4733417-7483335?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188766613&sr=1-1
^_^
Demensiona……. uhhh what question??????
i fate algebra, or anything to do with math…………
and i know! i cant wait!!!!! but i do wish that instead of writting another book, THAT SHE WOULD HURRY UP AND GET BREAKING DAWN OUT TO US!!!!! ITS URGENT!!!!! i dont know which to be more impatient about. a possibly, wait scratch possibly, a FAWSOME new book, or the romantic happenings of Edward and Bella……..AAAAHHHHHH!
still dont have my book, after a week, LAZY LIBRARIANS!!!!!
I heard that she can only release one book a year
UGHHHH!!!NOOO! I start school tomorrow!
Yeah, I hate math too
Stephenie Meyer’s contract with Little Brown only lets her realease one book a from the TWILIGHT series. so maybe we’ll get Breaking Dawn AND the Host in the same year. im going to check publication dates.
THE HOST COMES OUT IN THE SPRING OF 2008, AND BREAKING DAWN COMES OUT IN THE FALL OF 2008. WE GET TWO BOOKS FROM HER IN THE SAME YEAR! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!
now that im ALMOST done rejoicing over the 2 books in 1 year thing, i have ont thing to say,
I STILL DONT HAVE MY BOOK! LAZY LIBRARIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello!
Hi Katie! Oh I don’t know, there was some question that Jess and capt.cocaktiel were comenting on. And I just assumed that it was rhetorical(It was some question like “What site is better than this one or something.”).
And I fate math too, I’m forrible! And perhaps Host and Twilight are under 2 different publishing companies.
-But yeah, 2 books! I can’t wait for 2008!
-Hi allichie! You start school tommorrow? Good luck! ^_^
Bye!
^_^
I was supposed to start school today. But I’m actually sick. How weird is that?
What’s wierder is that I’m sick right now too! But I’m still going to school! ^_^
-Wow, you missed the first day of school? How ironic!
-I’ve only done that once/ I didn’t know what day we started back!
-Everyone was saying, “Oh my gosh! I thought you moved!”
-It was pretty funny, AND embarrassing!
Haha! Hope you get well soon capt.cockatiel!(I hope I do too)!^_^
Bye! ^_^
GET BETTER CAPT. COCKATIEL!!!! WE CANT HAVE A SICK NERDFIGHTER!!!!!!! NERD FIGHTERS FROCK!!!!did you say that YOU are sick too demensiona???? well if you are than I HOPE YOU GET BETTER TOO!hmmmm, my friend rachel told me she was sick today… just out of curiosity, do you know wht you have????? i FATE it when people are sick. i hate being sick, so other people must hate i too.
hmmmm, frock, that doesnt sound right…….
and i think i asked that question, and i dont remember if i meant it to be rhetorical or not…..
and what authors do when their bored, from the words of jessie. but seriously! its funny they should get bored more often! if you dont know what im talking about, then go back and click on that video that scott put up.
I have some sort of hacking-cough/sore throat thing that lasts a week. My brother brought it home for his work at a camp.
Hope you feel better Demensiona!
Hello!
Hi Katie!Thankyou SO much!(But actually I’m feeling worse than I was yesterday). o_0
-But I’ll probably be better by tommorrow!Haha, I’m still going to school! ^_^
-Um I think I just have a bad cold/ probably from having the air conditioner running all night. But I’m past the sore throat stage/.I’m at the nose/watery eyes/ headache stage. ^_^
-And I like FROCK!
-Haha, and I agree! Author’s boredom is fotally finteresting to watch!
Hi capt.cocaktiel! Gee could your brother have brought it home at a better time? ^_^And thanks capt.cockatiel! I hope that you’ll feel better soon too!
Bye! ^_^
I’m going to school tomorrow, I think.
And I would like to point out that an air conditioner on all night would not be the source of illness… it’s impossible.
Hello!
and i hope you two get better. getting sick is really NOT FAWSOME!
sooooooooooo, im listening to Golden by Fall Out Boy.
hmmmmm, very bored.
did i say i was writting a short story??? well i am. and i think im expirencing writters block.
hmmmmm, i have to do type an essay. i fate homewrok, and math.
ok, I posted this short story I wrote on another cite and all I got was complaints from ONE person saying he didn’t understand, so I NEED a second opinion (also, I intend to write more)
The rain thundered in the field where I now stood. The flowers wept along side me. My tears and the rain that streamed down my nose and chin became one. My long scarlet hair was dripping water into my eyes but I didn’t dare move to brush it out of the way. There was no help for my brand new floral dress now.
Why did I let him do this? I collapsed on the grass and wildflowers. Clutching my chest and begging to be able to breathe. All I could do was weep. There was no time, no place; nothing but my slow disintegration. I racked my fingernails through the dirt and the weeds and pulled at my hair, but the physical pain did not lessen the pain of my torn insides. Where was my heart, my lungs, my whole being?
How could I have let this happen? I could have stopped him. I could have gone with them. Now he was dead.
I closed my eyes and heaved air into my lungs. My body shook uncontrollably. The rain still pounded and still soaked through my cloths and skin. I thought about my brother’s final moments, drenched in his own blood. My brother, my best friend, my mentor: dragging himself through the dirt to comfort the only other human being around that was even closer to death than he was. I drifted into unconsciousness and the scene played out in my mind:
Threads of sunshine poked their way through the thick roof of leaves in the forest. Towers of trees rose on either side of the invisible deer path. Beads of water clung to a spider web woven between the branches of a small oak which stood no chance next to its brethren. Birds fluttered and scattered at the approach of a doe whose delicate feet barely made a sound as she picked her way around tree roots and thorns. She started at the sound of small padded feet scurrying out of the brush and continued on her way. The sun grew more and more prominent as the density of life slackened to reveal a sky reflected by a body of water. A half mile across a stag looked out over the expanse. The doe neared the edge of the lake, her instincts told her it wasn’t safe, but she had come great distances, and her thirst was overpowering. She dipped her small feet in the cool water and lowered her soft lips to the surface.
BANG! A sharp noise reverberated through the wood, and the doe collapsed on the bank. The stag leapt into the safety of the shadows. Hot blood spilled from a hole in her neck and pooled on the ground around her and stained her coat red.
A hunter and his nephew emerged to claim their kill. The older man was clearly at home in the woods from years of camping and hunting, where as the younger man walked timidly behind, somehow managing to stumble over every rock and root in his path.
“And that, Jacob, is how you do it,†said the older man. He gently laid his gun on the dirt and squatted next to the carcass.
A lone wolf, exiled and mad with hunger, had caught scent of the blood and was lured to the small group and gazed intently at the meal from behind a bush. Its ribs were sticking out and its fur was matted and thinning in areas, but it was still a ferocious predator designed to kill. The wolf flexed its muscles and prepared to spring at the men oblivious to the danger around them.
I saw the wolf leaping out of the shadows and rip flesh from bone and saw Jacob reach for the gun. I saw him shoot at the wolf, and try and fail at killing it, and still manage to chase it away. I saw him stagger as the reality of his own wounds set in and I saw him and our uncle die beneath the canopy of trees…
“Oh, Iris,†my mother brought me back from the gruesome vision and into the protective circle of her arms; she shivered and stroked my hair, saying my name over and over again. “Oh, Iris, oh honey, it’s not your fault. Oh Iris, Iris…â€
We sat like that swaying back and forth under the crying heavens.
The next thing I knew my father was carrying me into the house. My mind was hazy I saw Sola, my 8 year old snow white cat, following us as I was gently laid in my bed and my dripping dress was pulled over my head. My mother helped me put on my night gown and pulled the covers up to my chin. I instantly fell into dreamland, but nightmares ravaged my head:
The darkness encompassed me in its cold hard grip. The only sign that I was still alive was my beating heart and slow even breathing. My body was numb from the cold and I felt nothing but the frozen ground beneath my feet. The air was still. I brought one foot in front of the other and searched for something in the nothingness. My pace quickened as I was struck with panic. I had no idea of where I was going or where I had been, only that I needed to get out.
An orb of light appeared in the distance, suspended in the air. I ran faster to catch up to the only sign of hope I could see. I slowed as I approach the glowing sphere and in the center I could now see the radiant face of a girl. She smiled and opened her arms to me. I smiled back and reached out to her with one hand.
I was so close to relief, so close to happiness. Just as I was about to grasp it, the orb shattered and I was thrust once again into utter blackness.
Jacob wasn’t killed by a wolf, the words appeared in my heard as though being spoken and not just strands of thought. I was clearly falling apart without my brother as a frame. I wiped dried tears and sleep from my eyes and turned over in bed. Sola leapt onto my bed and laid next so my ear, her bright blue eyes fixed with curiosity. It was cavemen.
That was not imagined. I sprain out of bed and ran to the opposite wall. I ran my hand along the wall and listened intently, searching for the source of the voice, but it did not come from behind a wall or formed from a running imagination, instead the words were spoken softly and clearly into my ear, the voice as fragile as a child’s, “it’s me, Iris.â€
I twisted around so violently I banged my head and elbow on the wall, but I was too distracted by the person in my room to notice the pain. An angelic girl so white and flawless and breakable stood in front of my bed. She was naked and her thin silvery hair flowed to her thighs, concealing most of her body, yet her eyes, so unlike the rest of her, were fierce and feline and drew my eyes into their crystal blue depths.
My mind race at a million miles an hour with so many questions, I couldn’t speak, but I didn’t have to, for she spoke for me, “my real name is Nasolia, but you can call me Sola.†she grinned and showed her ultra white teeth, deadly as daggers.
“W-wa?†I stammered.
“Yeah, I know pretty corny right? A cat turning into a human,†she sat down on my bed and wrapped the blankets around herself. “Can I have some cloths? It’s cold in here.â€
I was so stunned I immediately obeyed without thinking about what I was doing. I grabbed my sweatpants and an old shirt that didn’t fit anymore and Sola gratefully took them and stuck her willowy arms through the sleeves and pulled on the oversized pants and plopped back down on my bed.
“What are you?†I said as I regained my voice.
“I’m not exactly sure; you’ve had me since I was a kitten and found me in your backyard. I remember my mother; maybe I should tell you my story!†she said and grinned even more broadly. I felt giddy with confusion and hesitated before sitting down next to her.
She tucked her legs underneath her and her expression turned serious, and then began her story, “I remember my mom used to sing to me: see the slippery streams slithering out of the ground; to hear you must be quiet and not make a sound.
“She would always take me into the woods and teach me how to hunt the birds. One day she was edgy and afraid to take me into the woods, but I begged and she caved. God, why didn’t I listen to her? That day they attacked us, the cavemen, or that’s what I call them, they look like winged emaciated people with gray skin, fangs, black eyes that sucked out all the light and legs that look like they were cut from a lion and elongated to match their bodies. My mother was in her human form. Her strength was that of ten men and she could out run a cheetah. She fought fearlessly and killed every single one, I will never forget their smell, it’s like rotting flesh mixed with excrement.†She stopped and wrinkled her nose at the memory. “She was dying,†tears weld up in her eyes, “So I was brought here. ‘Stay here and keep your cat form around the humans,’ she told me and kissed my forehead one last time. ‘I love you’ she whispered and the last I saw her she was running freely in the forest.
“That smell,†she sobbed, “that’s how I know it was them, that putrid smell, the smell of death.â€
p.s. feel free to critique ANYTHING that bugs you
some questions I have:
can you tell when the time period is?
can you tell that the hunters in the woods is not a flashback but a dream of what she was told happened? (she did not SEE it with her own eyes)
WHOA! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO STOP! IT WAS GETTING INTERESTING!
the floral dress and the names are a little old fashioned, but the sweatpants make me think it was alittle more recent.
but i cant tell that its a dream of what she was told happened. but it IS a good story! i want to read more!
sooo, i got the Meg Cabot book that ive been waiting for. i shouldnt have waited. i didnt even need to read it. they turned the second one into a comic book instead of a novel. it was terrible, it took me less than 20 minutes to read. UUGGGHHH!!!!!
well I guess I didn’t describe the dress right
It has spaghetti straps and goes down to about her knees, the dress is off white with red flowers that look like lilies
I’ve seen a lot of dresses kind of like that at formal parties so I guess I thought that the dress would make you think she just got back from a wedding or a party or something like that
here’s a new version:
The rain thundered in the field where I now stood. The flowers wept along side me. My tears and the rain that streamed down my nose and chin became one. My long scarlet hair was dripping water into my eyes but I didn’t dare move to brush it out of the way. There was no help for my brand new spaghetti strap floral dress.
Why did I let him do this? I collapsed on the grass and wildflowers. Clutching my chest and begging to be able to breathe. All I could do was weep. There was no time, no place; nothing but my slow disintegration. I racked my violet fingernails through the dirt and the weeds and pulled at my hair, but the physical pain did not lessen the pain of my torn insides. Where was my heart, my lungs, my whole being?
How could I have let this happen? I could have stopped him. I could have gone with them. I should have gone with them. I was the nature girl, not him. And now he was dead.
I closed my eyes and heaved air into my lungs. My body shook uncontrollably. The rain still pounded and still soaked through my cloths and skin. Killed by some kind of animal, that’s what the coroner had said. I thought about my brother’s final moments, drenched in his own blood, wearing camouflage and an orange vest. My brother, my best friend, my mentor: dragging himself through the dirt to comfort the only other human being around that was even closer to death than he was. I drifted into unconsciousness and my imagination ran wild:
Threads of sunshine poked their way through the thick roof of leaves in the forest. Towers of trees rose on either side of the invisible deer path. Beads of water clung to a spider web woven between the branches of a small oak which stood no chance next to its brethren. Birds fluttered and scattered at the approach of a doe whose delicate feet barely made a sound as she picked her way around tree roots and thorns. She started at the sound of small padded feet scurrying out of the brush and continued on her way. The sun grew more and more prominent as the density of life slackened to reveal a sky reflected by a body of water. A half mile across a stag looked out over the expanse. The doe neared the edge of the lake, her instincts told her it wasn’t safe, but she had come great distances, and her thirst was overpowering. She dipped her small feet in the cool water and lowered her soft lips to the surface.
BANG! A sharp noise reverberated through the wood, and the doe collapsed on the bank. The stag leapt into the safety of the shadows. Hot blood spilled from a hole in her neck and pooled on the ground around her and stained her coat red.
A hunter and his nephew emerged to claim their kill. The older man was clearly at home in the woods from years of camping and hunting, where as the younger man walked timidly behind, somehow managing to stumble over every rock and root in his path.
“And that, Jacob, is how you do it,†said the older man. He gently laid his gun on the dirt and squatted next to the carcass.
A lone wolf, exiled and mad with hunger, had caught scent of the blood and was lured to the small group and gazed intently at the meal from behind a bush. Its ribs were sticking out and its fur was matted and thinning in areas, but it was still a ferocious predator designed to kill. The wolf flexed its muscles and prepared to spring at the men oblivious to the danger around them.
I saw the wolf leaping out of the shadows and rip flesh from bone and saw Jacob reach for the gun. I saw him shoot at the wolf, and try and fail at killing it, and still manage to chase it away. I saw him stagger as the reality of his own wounds set in and I saw him and our uncle die beneath the canopy of trees…
“Oh, Iris,†my mother brought me back from the gruesome vision and into the protective circle of her arms; she shivered and stroked my hair, saying my name over and over again. “Oh, Iris, oh honey, it’s not your fault. Oh Iris, Iris…â€
We sat like that swaying back and forth under the crying heavens, jewelry pinching skin.
The next thing I knew my father was carrying me into the house. I saw Sola, my 9 year old snow white cat, following us as I was gently laid in my bed and my dripping dress was pulled over my head. My mother helped me put on my night gown and pulled the covers up to my chin. I instantly fell into dreamland, but nightmares ravaged my head:
…The darkness encompassed me in its cold hard grip. The only sign that I was still alive was my beating heart and slow even breathing. My body was numb from the cold and I felt nothing but the frozen ground beneath my feet. The air was still. I brought one foot in front of the other and searched for something in the nothingness. My pace quickened as I was struck with panic. I had no idea of where I was going or where I had been, only that I needed to get out.
An orb of light appeared in the distance, suspended in the air. I ran faster to catch up to the only sign of hope I could see. I slowed as I approach the glowing sphere and in the center I could now see the radiant face of a girl. She smiled and opened her arms to me. I smiled back and reached out to her with one hand.
I was so close to relief, so close to happiness. Just as I was about to grasp it, the orb shattered and I was thrust once again into utter blackness…
Jacob wasn’t killed by a wolf, the words appeared in my heard as though being spoken and not just strands of thought, and jerked me back to the real world. I was clearly falling apart without my brother as a frame. I wiped dried tears and sleep from my eyes and turned over in bed. Sola leapt onto my bed and laid next so my ear, her bright blue eyes fixed with curiosity. It the was cavemen.
That was not imagined. I sprain out of bed and ran to the opposite wall. I ran my hand along the wall painted a rebellious black and lemon yellow and listened intently, searching for the source of the voice, but it did not come from behind a wall or formed from a running imagination, instead the words were spoken softly and clearly into my ear, the voice as fragile as a child’s, “it’s me, Iris.â€
I twisted around so violently I banged my head and elbow on the wall, but I was too distracted by the person in my room to notice the pain. An angelic girl so white and flawless and breakable stood in front of my bed. She was naked and her thin silvery hair flowed to her thighs, concealing most of her body, yet her eyes, so unlike the rest of her, were fierce and feline and drew my eyes into their crystal blue depths. The setting sun striped her skin through the venetian blinds.
My mind race at a million miles an hour with so many questions, I couldn’t speak, but I didn’t have to, for she spoke for me, “my real name is Nasolia, but you can call me Sola.†she grinned and showed her ultra white teeth, deadly as daggers.
“W-wa?†I stammered.
“Yeah, I know pretty corny right? A cat turning into a human,†she sat down on my bed and wrapped the blankets around herself. “Can I have some cloths? It’s cold in here.â€
I was so stunned I immediately obeyed without thinking about what I was doing. I grabbed my sweatpants and an old shirt that didn’t fit anymore and Sola gratefully took them and stuck her willowy arms through the sleeves and pulled on the oversized pants and plopped back down on my bed.
“What are you?†I said as I regained my voice.
“I’m not exactly sure; you’ve had me since I was a kitten and found me in your backyard. I remember my mother; maybe I should tell you my story!†she said and grinned even more broadly. I felt giddy with confusion and hesitated before turning on a lamp and sitting down next to her.
She tucked her legs underneath her and her expression turned serious, and then began her story, “I remember my mom used to sing to me: see the slippery streams slithering out of the ground; to hear you must be quiet and not make a sound.
“She would always take me into the woods and teach me how to hunt the birds. One day she was edgy and afraid to take me into the woods, but I begged and she caved. God, why didn’t I listen to her? That day they attacked us, the cavemen, or that’s what I call them, they look like winged emaciated people with gray skin, fangs, black eyes that sucked out all the light and legs that look like they were cut from a lion and elongated to match their bodies. My mother was in her human form. Her strength was that of ten men and she could out run a cheetah. She fought fearlessly and killed every single one, I will never forget their smell, it’s like rotting flesh mixed with excrement.†She stopped and wrinkled her nose at the memory. “She was dying,†tears weld up in her eyes, “So I was brought here. ‘Stay here and keep your cat form around the humans,’ she told me and kissed my forehead one last time. ‘I love you’ she whispered and the last I saw her she was running freely in the forest.
“That smell,†she sobbed, “that’s how I know it was them, that putrid smell, the smell of death.â€
I sat there, utterly speechless, while she wiped her eyes and pulled the covers more tightly around her. I glanced at the clock on my bedside table; it was just after six, almost dinner time. I had been sleeping for two hours.
“Lisi? You awake?†my mom called from behind the closed door.
I jumped to my feet as the words broke the silence. “Yeah, mom,†I called back. My voice was cracking.
“Honey, if you are feeling ok, this nice police man wants to talk to you. He’s downstairs right now.â€
“I’ll be down in a sec,†I reached into my closet and pulled out a pair of faded holey jeans and an oversized gray sweatshirt to match. I quickly changed and turned to deal with Sola. “Can you turn back into a cat?â€
She looked up at me as if unwillingly pushed out of a trance. “I’d rather not; it hurts to change into a smaller form. Turning human on the other hand; it was like taking off cloths that are two sizes too small. Ummm, maybe I could hide under the bed if someone is coming, I’m pretty fast y’know and flexible, watch this!â€
And just like that her enthusiasm was back. She stood on the bed and leapt into the air. She somersaulted at the peek, and fell to the ground landing lightly on her hands and springing back to her feet, quieter than dropping a paperclip on carpet.
“Uhh, ok, you do that,†I said incredulously. I turned to open the door and twisted the door knob, I cast one last glance to where Sola was standing, but she had already darted under the bed. I could not help smiling at her skills.
I jogged down the hallway of tormenting photographs of our family and down the stairs. My dad was sitting in the reclining chair, his face in his hands. My mom was sitting cross legged on the couch in pajamas, red hair flaring in every direction, which was unusual seeing that we had a guest over. Across from my mom a short stocky man in a uniform sat self consciously on the edge of his seat. He stood up abruptly as I entered the room; he brushed his graying brown hair out of his eyes and reach over to shake my hand.
“You must be Iris, my name is Michael Lee, as you probably guessed, I have some questions for you so why don’t you take a seat,†he smiled comfortingly and I walked over to sit between him and my mom. My dad looked up and at first I saw my face in his, he looked as helpless as an old man who’s seen too much with his blond hair that curled gently around his face, wrinkled in pain at the loss of his only son.
“You can call me Lisi,†my voice was barely audible. I sat still and waited for the questions to be asked so the answers could be told.
“Well really it’s only one question,†he pulled a plastic bag out of his pocket with a gold ring and a ruby bead on a small silver chain. I took the bag and examined the contents more carefully, engraved on the inside of the ring tiny letters spelled out two sentences: the carnivorous red flower will lick and consume. It will rage and destroy and spew its thick fumes. “Is this yours?â€
ummmm, WOW! is it hers? why does he want to know? and why do they call her Lisi if her name is Iris. what about the cat/human? why can it change? POST MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO KNOW! I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!
it’s her nickname
ooooo, what about my other questions??????????
POST MORE!
Oh my gosh allichie that was famazing! You’re brilliantly creative and beautifully imaginative. ^_^
-I love how you’ve introduced this new concept of “Caveman.”
-I fove your vocabulary/diction.
Um I really wouldn’t know what to critique. Umm.. Now would you consider this to be preface or the first chapter of a novel?
-A does this piece have a title?
-But as for critique, um.. All that I could think of is to maybe “advance” the mother’s dialect up a bit. If that makes any since.^_^
– And I believe that your first description/dipiction of Irisi’s dress was fine.
-Fove the unique character names. ^-^
-And what an ending! Fotally brilliant!
I loved it! Fextremely impressive allichie. ^_^

“Well really it’s only one question,†he pulled a plastic bag out of his pocket with a gold ring and a ruby bead on a small silver chain. I took the bag and examined the contents more carefully, engraved on the inside of the ring tiny letters spelled out two sentences: the carnivorous red flower will lick and consume. It will rage and destroy and spew its thick fumes. “Is this yours?â€
“Where did you find this,†I asked, but I already knew the answer.
“Your brother was clutching it when he died.â€
Your brother was clutching it when he died. The words rang through my head and I automatically made the connection to Sola and the cavemen.
She had to see it.
“Umm, it’s not mine but I think I know whose it is,†I quickly lied. “Do you need it back?â€
“No, it’s not evidence; you can take it out of the bag if you like,â€
WHOA!!!!!!!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND!!!!
but im not making the connection between the caveman, sola, and the ring. ill probably get it later!

BYE!!!!!!!!
here’s more of the story:
“You must be Iris, my name is Michael Lee. So as you probably guessed, I have some questions for you, why don’t you take a seat,†he smiled comfortingly and I walked over to sit between him and my mom. My dad looked up and at first I saw my face in his, he looked as helpless as an old man who’s seen too much with his blond hair that curled gently around his face, wrinkled in pain at the loss of his only son.
“You can call me Lisi,†my voice was barely audible. I sat still and waited for the questions to be asked so the answers could be told.
“Well really it’s only one question,†he pulled a plastic bag out of his pocket with a gold ring and a ruby bead on a small silver chain. I took the bag and examined the contents more carefully, engraved on the inside of the ring tiny letters spelled out two sentences: the carnivorous red flower will lick and consume. It will rage and destroy and spew its thick fumes. “Is this yours?â€
“Where did you find this,†I asked, but I already knew the answer.
“Your brother was clutching it when he died.â€
Your brother was clutching it when he died. The words rang through my head. I thought of where it had probably come from and the thought made me sick.
I had to show Sola.
“Umm, it’s not mine but I think I know whose it is,†I quickly lied. “Do you need it back?â€
“No, it’s not evidence; you can take it out of the bag if you like.†I took out the chain and held it carefully in my hand.
“Well, you folks had been through so much, I thought I‘d return your property personally, have a good day now.†He picked himself of the couch, nodded his head to each of us and strode to the door. My dad followed him. I took the chain and headed back to my room.
This time I didn’t bother to protect myself from the swell of emotions when I saw our family picture. I couldn’t stop staring at him. We had the same hazel eyes and dark red hair, unlike most with fair skin, my older brother and I did not have freckles, just smooth creamy skin. The greatest difference I could see in the picture was my one green eye, and my much longer and flowing hair, compared to his spiky tangle.
I averted my eyes just in time to stop the droplets that were forming on my eye lashes. That was enough memories for today, now I had to get back to business.
I turned the door and entered the familiar comfort of my room. I silently checked under my bed and was surprised to see that no one was lying on the unseen carpet under my bed.
It was after I had glanced around my room a few times to find other possible means of concealment that I realized the window was open, it had not been that way when I left the room. I walked over to the window sill and stuck my head out. There was nothing but the ageless field and forest out there. I cupped my hands and shouted her name, but it was obviously useless, she could not hear.
I pulled my head back in and sat at my eroded desk, deciding to leave the window open in case she came back. I fingered the imprinted words on the inside of the ring. The carnivorous red flower, now what could that mean?
I did not dwell on the question I had no answer for; instead I turned to scrutinize the other object, the ruby bead. Of course, it was just an ordinary gem that looked to brilliant for the shabby chain. I unclasped the chain and pulled off the bead. It looked even worse on my second hand desk.
I sat there for a few moments looking at it. It looked almost like a cherry, only sparkling in the lamp light. Well, I could sell it, or I could put it on a new chain or…wait, something was happening. I leaned forward and looked awestruck at the gem. It was changing, no, it was reshaping itself. The bead was no longer a bead but just a perfectly round gem. The hole was gone.
I looked down at the ruby as if it was an egg about to hatch. Was it going to change again? Was it going to leap off the table and attack me? No, it just sat there like inanimate objects were supposed to do, except, it seemed to be watching me.
It was then that I felt the presence at the window. I twirled around to see Sola crouching on the edge of the window, a dead bird held in her iron jaw. She cocked her head to see what I had been staring at a moment before. Her face turned grave and she dropped the unfortunate creature.
Her eyes grew wider and her jaw dropped and she took slow footsteps toward the bewitched rock. Her fingers shook as she stuck them out to hold the gem. She seemed to be on the brink of cracking. Her spindly fingers brushed the gem so delicately, I feared the stone could explode at any time, but all it did was sit there and watch us.
I was about to ask her what was wrong when she did it, she cracked, and she crumbled and lay on the floor like dust.
She closed her fingers around it and brought it to her chest. Her eyelids slid closed. When she opened them they were swimming with not tears, but hate. She sprinted to the window and jumped out, landing agilely on her feet, her short legs covered the field in a matter of seconds and the last I saw her she was disappearing into the tree’s shadows.
YOU ARE SOOO EVIL TO STOP THERE!!!!!!!!!! I WANT MORE!!!!!
CONSIDERING I DONT HAVE A BOOK TO READ, I WANT MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i REALLY like your story, if you cant tell. mine isnt like that. and i happen to be talking my self in circles soooooo……..
but i have a question. at first, you said it was a ring *goes up to check if shes making stufff up*oooo okay never mind. there was a ring AND a chain.
have you ever had to double check on something, because you suddenly sounded insane? i just did that……………
sooooooo, what is your story like?
yeah, the ring and ruby are ON the chain
have you ever had to double check on something, because you suddenly sounded insane?
Yes, I am the worst speller in the history of the world so sometimes I kinda make up words, I would probably sound pretty dumb without my trusty dictionary by my side, and also, I sometimes can’t explain what I’m trying to say and everyone looks at me like I’m opperating in a foreign language
lets see if it will show up this time. for the past two days, when ever i send something, nothing comes up. soooo…. my resolve is this
I FATE COMPUTERS WITH A FENGANCE!!!!!!!!
and hopefully you can see that.
my story is about soul mates pretty much. i love soul mates. they are wasome. thats why i love that whole imprinting thing.
sooo….
there happens to be this guy ive liked forever, literally. ask jess. and Demensiona, i recently e-mailed the story. anyway, i hope he likes me to. he is actually talking to me willingly, after something that happened a while ago. thats not some thing id like to share…..
anyway. i want to give him my aim. but mine is a little immature. ive had it for along time, and dont like it to much. i want to change it but i cant think of anything. its currently Pokeyone21. my friends like it, and think its cute and innocent, but i dont. my sister ashley made it up for me. sooo, if anyone has any suggestions……….
i hope you can actually see this one……
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
you still cant see the other ones, but whatever.
60 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! till the Fall Out Boy concert that jess and i are going to.
yeah, my gym teacher thought he was being funny and said that the fallout boys had larangitis (i know thats not the correct spelling) and it didnt work. 1) they arent the fall out boys, its just Fall Out Boy, 2) we would have known firts, jess is a boardie on their website.
YAYAY!!!!! we went to the library!!!!!! i got some random books, i wasnt looking for anything. but i got Kathleens Story from Angels in Pink by Laureen McDaniel. i think thats how you spell her name. jess read it and said it was good, but they didnt have the second one, so i just got the first. ill probably read that one last.
no one gets on here anymore…. *tear*
and i want/need the rest of that story too……
no one gets on here anymore…. *tear*
and i want/need the rest of that story too…..
uuggghhh! fate computers!
what the…….
sorry, I’ve been really buisy and I haven’t written any more yet except a couple poems
Fall Out Boys? lolx10
yeah. figures. everyones always busy. *tear*
hmmmmmmmmm………….
i fate algebra.
I fagree
I haven’t been on lately becuase of bogus homework and school related unfun stuff. *tear*
I hate Geometry more than Algebra, I have to say.
i agree. too many postulates and theorums to memorize. proofs are the worst.
anything including numbers sucks to me. i have on going problems with numbers since 2nd grade. math has never been my strong point. literature has, and so has religion and sometimes history spikes my interests because sometimes i have read books about that time era. that makes it really interesting. most of my friends fate our teacher, but i think he’s pretty good, but we all miss mr. o *tear* he was the best teacher you could ever have. im talking as if he is dead. he isnt. he is alive, just not teaching at our school anymore.
i think that if teachers could put math into a story line like Twilight, i would have more interset in it. like calculating Alice’s speed, or her height, i dont know. something like that…………………….
hey, read the midnighters. theres lots of cool math stuff in there. (i looooooooove dess. polymaths are wicked.)
i already read it……. i read it about 2 years ago actually….. but i think im going to read it again, it was really good. isnt it going to be a tv series?
jess loves the name dess too. hey, what does anyone think about the name Esscence?
I’m extremely excited for October 11th. *dances*
october 11th????? *thinks* am i missing something quite obvious? i have been doing alot of that today. i am usually okay in common sense, but ive been kind of frazy today………….
11th is when Scott is here in Shoreline. Okay, I’m not in Shoreline, but it’s like thirty minutes or less away.
I HAVE THE FIRST THREE CHAPTERS OR WHATEVER OR EXTRAS. OH MY GOD.
wow, ya know what I JUST realized? Two days til EXRTAS!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! So many wicked awsome books comming out in the next year! side note: have any of you heard Heard Headlock by Imogen Heap? It’s one of my new favourite songs along with Love Song and Bottle it Up by Sara Bareilles.
allichie, i saw you said 2 days, and i had to go back to the clock! it seems so quick! but these 2 days will last forever!
I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and what about that story you were writting? got anymore yet? i need to know……..
sooooooo, about the name Esscence, what does anyone think about it? im considering making it the name of one of the main characters in a new story im writting, even though i havent finished the other one yet. but the story line has been running through my head so im writting it down.
one of the teachers at my school is retring. its kind of weird. she started teaching there the year my dad graduated………….
Two days! I’m so excited! I’ve had Extras on hold for two months or something! I’m number 2 on the list. Who knows how long it’ll take for it to get to me… but I don’t care.
Oh… this is so jokes.
And I like the name Esscence. Good name.
yes i think its a good name too. a nickname would be Essy though, im not to sure about it, but i like it.
i havent had the chance to order it yet. i want to though. i dont have any money to buy it, and it will take my library a year just to get it to me, so i think ill just buy it.
in my last post, i was talking about Extras in the last part.im calling borders and ordering it today.
Well, Essie is a name, so it would be a good nickname.
I have the first three chapters of Extras at my house. In my room. Signed. I’m not going to buy it, though. I don’t have the money. >.
I kinda got off topic, here’s a little more of the story:
She closed her fingers around it and brought it to her chest. Her eyelids slid closed. When she opened them they were swimming with not tears, but hate. She sprinted to the window and jumped out, landing agilely on her feet, her short legs covered the field in a matter of seconds and the last I saw her she was disappearing into the tree’s shadows.
So this is what it feels like to be alone, to know that the last person who could tell you the truth had leapt out a window.
I stood there waiting for her to come back and explain to me. After what seemed like hours I gave up on waiting and lied down on my bed to read a book I had always told myself I would read but never actually gotten around to.
The words filled my head with pictures and fantasies that took me away from the real world, if only for a few moments, there was no escaping those tricky little fragments of memory. They slipped through the back door at the slightest mention of family or secrets. I sunk deeper into the pillows and immersed myself in the sounds of the letters that danced on my tongue.
(here’s what I wrote when I got off topic)
You don’t care what anyone else thinks. It’s not about how you play the game; it’s about getting high off a victory. Why else do they keep points?
You knew better than to get too cocky, but this is your moment. You get ready as the opposing team holds the ball, the referee blows the whistle and you’re off. You dance around the court waiting for an opening inviting you to go for it. Your teammates are doing fine on there own, for now, so you wait for your chance.
You keep the other side on their toes with your jerky steps and late hesitation but your time is coming.
The white object hurtles back and forth and you only manage to keep it in play. It’s mine, you tell yourself before diving to the floor to once again save a mistake and before you can get back to your feet, your teammates have already scored your point. The next is mine, you tell yourself.
So there you are. Your side has the ball and a slight lead and then what happens? Her hand hits the ball and it floats over to the other side. Ooops, try again. The ball is rolled back and this time the referee has a chance to blow his whistle. There you go. Once again her hand smacks the ball and the crowd roars as your opposite sprawls out on the floor and her outstretched hand misses by inches. Yes. Another point is awarded to your side. Just in time to lose the next point, and the next, and the next, and maybe the next? No, it whizzes past your head and shanks off the back row’s arms.
Ok breathe; we can get back in this game. Your heart thunders and sweat dribbles down your forehead to sting your eyes. Your lips taste like salt and bruises begin to form around your sore muscles. It hurts, but you bare it. What else can you do?
The whistle sounds and the ball flies over. Three hits and it’s right there now, right in front of you calling for you to touch it. And you answer, you jump up and force it back to their side, but it’s not over yet.
Get ready, get ready…she’s going for the kill.
And then it dies. Right in front of your face it keels over and dies. You could have gotten to it, you could have, but you didn’t. It died, and you can’t do anything now except shake it off, but the dead weight latches on to your leg and like a teary child, won’t move and only grips harder the more you try to rid yourself of that mistake. Your teammates put a little effort into removing the thing, they tell you it’s fine and that you’ll get the next one. Just do your best. What the h*ll is your best?
Why do you ask so many questions? Just get to the ball so we can make a play. It’s no big deal.
Side out, your team on the bench cheers and it’s the same story. The ball is here, and then it’s there, now it’s just on top of the net, until it’s saved from inches above the floor. Unless…yes, it goes out, no wait, is it back in…no, it’s definitely out.
Alright, alright, let’s go, is all the advice your coach has.
Another point for your side. You rotate to the middle. Perfect. You check the score board and see that the other team needs one more point to win the game. Not perfect.
The best server on your team is up, but is it enough? The ball spins out of control through the zone and the other team barely gets a hand on it, however, it was enough for them. The ball soars high to the rafters and squeezes through the triangles to come down sharply on your side. Easy enough right? The ball is passed to where it needs to go and you call for it because your job is to smash their faces in. You take one step and another step and you are smiling because your moment is here. Focus. You coil your legs underneath you and spring straight up into the air to take the opportunity that is given. At the peek you draw in your left hand and swing your right with all your might.
So sweet isn’t it? The exhilarating rush of being in the spot light, of being and feeling the contact between you and the air and no boundaries…
Except…
You feel the adrenaline melting off your body as your fingertips brush the ball for only an instant. Your teammates all stop and stare in horror at the ball as it hangs in midair for what seems like forever. You think it just might go over, hey it could happen…it could…it might…is it…please…?
And then you land. And then it falls in the net. And you just stand there.
Dead ball, dead game.
So how was your day?
i like the first part, before you went off topic. but not the second part. you were talking about sports, and they arent my favorite, but im pretty sure jess will like it. was it volleyball you were talking about???? i think it was. i played for a little bit and hated it. i was ferrible. and the girls on the team wre B******! and so were the coaches. what can you expect when you are on a team surrounded by popular girls, and you the geeky outsider, forced to socialize with other girls lower on the social scale than you. im not saying anything bad about them, the girls lower on the scale, im right with them, but they are weird. they walk around imitating animals, like crwaling out of cars on all fours, and meowing down the hall, and barking at everyone that looks at them, and other stuff that makes people not like them.
but i loved the first part. i was like “whoa!”
hmmmmmmm, Demensiona hasnt been on in a LONG time! i blame school and frappy computers. mine just got fixed. when ever a phone company guy comes into our house, ive noticed that they always smell like they just smoked 30 cartons of cigarettes.

-And I’ve finished, “Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment AND SCHOOL’S OUT FOREVER”. But I HAVE to get the next one! I’m going frazy!!
_______________________________________________
Bye guys!!
^_^
The last three books you mentioned are amazing. (well i didnt read the first too yet because I didn’t have money… BUT NOW I DO!) The Maximum Ride books are the best. I love them.
Hi ImInLoveWithJonathan!^_^
-Yay for book money! And you’re FOTALLY right!The Maximum Ride books are the best!!!
I wish John Green would come to Seattle. D: That would be amazing. I love LfA and Katherines soo much.
Anyway.
i loved Looking For Alaska alot oo! i havent read the Katherines one yet.
does “Vampire Academy” have any romance in it by any chance?????? i love books with that in it. but there are alot of books without it i like.
i once read a book with an Imogen in it. i think it was spelled differently…… i think it was in Blue Girl by Charles De Lint.
i want to go get Extras nowwwwww. but i cant for two reasons. one being im broke and want to buy it so i can keep it, and the second being, no one can take me to go get it, so i havent even called to check on the price.
Oh. My. God. There’s going to be a fourth Maximum Ride book! *squeel* the only thing cooler would be a fourth midnighters book too. *hint* lol. jk. well.. not really…
did anyone watch that interview of scott westerfeld? there is a link in the blog. i never thought of a blog like the way he said it. making a playground, and then watching people play on it.
fourth Maximum Ride book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EEEKKK!
I’m reading Memoirs of Teenage Amnesiac now and it’s soooo good
I watched half of the interview but I should really be working on my essay right now so see YA!!! (or type YA)
I thought the interview was really interesting. But they had the books out of order, which I thought was weird. >.> Oh well.
comment_fashion
i didnt relly notice that. the books being out of order i mean.
im sooo tired, i think im going to pass out! and its only 5:48. *yawns* i fell asleep during Charmed. the one when Chris gets stabbed by that Gideon jack a**. now how did i fall asleep during that one? its my favorite! except for when Bionca tries to take away chris’s powers by sticking her hand in him like that, b****.
them preschoolers really make you tired. (im not in preschool, i just help out there after school. for the parents who cant pick their kids up in time, we have latch-key. if you dont know what that is, its just like an after school babysitter.)
there are 961 posts. cant wait till there is 1000.
make that 962 with that one and with this one 963.
I noticed that on the interview. I thought it was really wierd that nobody caught that before they posted the interview.
in that pic. about the fog, does it look like they are driving in the same lane as the person coming right at them? looked like that to me.
you know that book you said you read with someone by the name of imogen but it was spelled differently? would this book happen to be the blue girl? i saw it in barnes and noble and it looks pretty good. if it is the book you read, was it good?
I have been meaning to read The Blue Girl for… years. I’m a lazy reader when it comes to things like that. Wanting to read something and never doing it. I’m more inclined to read shiny new things I’ve never seen before.
On another note, do any of you listen to Jason Mraz? He’s amazing. I bought his latest CD (from, um, 2005) on Sunday.
yes i was refering to blue girl. it was good. read it! it was fawsome!
i still havent gotten to read Extras yet. and i want to get on the spoiler early so i can follow the conversations.
i started A season For Goodbye today. its kind of good. i miss all the vampires and other weird things that as far as we know arent real.
i think in one of the commandments it says that we shouldnt take part in anything that says that humans have power like Gods. does that mean that every one who reads books with superstition in is living in sin????
Hello, This is just what I was looking for!
Wow, the signing last night was AWESOME. I can’t believe that Justine and Scott remembered who I am. That was so cool. Now I’m all hyped up on signing-goodness. Yay!
they remembered who you were? did you meet them before, or from here? is that a stupid question?
im rather confused to day.
BUT FAWSOME1 THEY REMEMBERED YOU! that would be soooo fawsome if some one remembered me.
did anyone watch Supernatural last night (thurs. 11th)? it was the one about the kds that changed, and were kind of pshyco and clingy on their moms. that was FAWSOME!
I met them last year (well, Justine gave me her seat, I didn’t really talk to her last year) when Topaz and I got Scott to do a signing while he was in Seattle.
So they remembered me from there and also I’ve won two of their contests, so they kind of just know who I am in general.
They commented on how I looked older.
But it was really fun.
wicked! i wish scoot would come visit me when his nextbook comes out. *cough*langhore, pa*cough*
grrrrrr *gives evil eye to capt. cockatiel* I AM JEALOUS OF YOU! BIG TIME!
no authors EVER even get close to where i live! and what happens to capt. cockateil? she gets remembered by the best author in the world! well, one of them anyway. its hard to pick the best. but still!i think Jodi Picoult may have come once, but that was a relly long time ago.
SO NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how did you get scott to do a signing before? I WANT TO TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maybe a little excitment may come to my boring life.
Um. Last year he was in Seattle for a conference and some of us Seattlites noticed that there wasn’t a signing. So we pestered him. We left numerous comments like, “You’re in Seattle but not doing a signing?! Why not?! Please do a signing.”
And then he did!
And he thanked us and stuff at the signing.
So I guess you’d have to wait until he was somewhere near you and then command a signing in your town or something. I mean, he ended up doing it in Bellevue last year which is quite a ways from Seattle. So it just might work.
And I guess Seattle is a popular place for authors to go. I never would have thought so. But it is. And there are also a lot of authors from Washington. We’ve got Deb Caletti, Brent Hartinger, Chris Crutcher. Lotslotslots.
no fair COCK!
wow I’ve missed a lot
why can’t authors do something like a U.S. road trip and visit every state or something like that, I’m feeling like a total EXTRA
Cock is not a good nickname. XP
can I call you Capt.?
your whole name’s kinda long
here’s more katie
The words filled my head with pictures and fantasies that took me away from the real world, if only for a few moments, there was no escaping those tricky little fragments of memory. They slipped through the back door at the slightest mention of family or secrets. I sunk deeper into the pillows and immersed myself in the sounds of the letters that danced on my tongue. Until they started crawling down my throat and blocking my esophagus.
I screamed and coughed out those little gremlins. The book flew out of my hand and I swear I could hear the little demons screeching. It hit the wall with a thud and fell to the floor with its pages bent. The thing actually had the nerve to look sad.
Pathetic, I thought, your so miserable and useless, sitting helplessly in your room throwing innocent objects at the wall. I slumped my pitiful self back onto the bed.
“You know what this is?!†Once again words awoke me but this time they cut my ears instead of oozing in. Cold fingers gripped my wrist and wouldn’t let go. I jerked awake but was easily held in place while something red and round dangled above my nose. In my stupor I stared cross-eyed at it.
“Huh,†I moaned and blinked a few times before it came into focus. The red stone hung from Sola’s pale, frozen fingers. Her now shoulder length white hair tumbled from her scalp and distorted her face. Murder was soaked in her eyes.
I sat up and took the rock in my hands while Sola slowly strode over to sit at my desk. I turned the rock over and over in my hand but I saw no imperfections nothing out of the ordinary, just a solid rock. “It looks like a gem?†was there some hidden meaning to this question?
“Look harder.â€
What could it be? There was nothing really special about it except that it could move on its own. I slid my hand over the surface and found no blemishes. Was that supposed to mean something? And then I felt a tiny beat, and another, and another, did the rock itself have a heart, lungs? My mouth fell agape as I ran through possibilities: was it breathing, was it living, did it feel our presence? I looked deep into its core and could now see movement within; it looked like a tiny grain of sand going in and out at the same rate as the gem pulsed. “What is that?â€
“That, my friend, is a fairy’s heart.â€
um…. *searches deep into her mind for the correct word. finds nothing* wow will have to work. WOW! it makes mine sound stupid. i have paused on writting for a while because i cant think of anything to fill this small gap. once i fill it i can finish it.
i have this thing we did last year in art. and my teacher wont let me take it home. it is the only thing that i actually like. my artisctic ability matches y athletic ability. ZERO! but this is kind of good. we were supposed to make a sun or moon. but when i was finished it reminded me more of an eclipse. it still does. but i also made it sonn after i heard when the book Eclipse was coming out. but it is really cool. i wasnt allowed to use black in the backround 9we had to mix colors) so i did black and mixed it with purple to make it darker. everyone else in my class was trying to make it all lighter. hehe.
capt. cockatiel, what you did would work, if any author even came close to where i live. the closest anyone has gotten is about 2 hours from my house. and its always on a school night. but i think ill try something.
and i havent been able to get Extras yet. that ftinks. yeah, that doesnt sound right. we shall go with sooooooo not fool.
I got Extras from the library yesterday. It’s pretty good, if I do say so.
You can call me CC. That’s what I’m used to.
CC. easy to remember and short. well. hi CC.
I STILL HAVENT GOTTON EXTRAS YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but i am reading this book called burned. the format is rather weird. it changes every page, and the first senrence is bigger and farther at the top of the page. but it is good. one page, where the first sentence said “its almost four,” the words were in the shape of a 4. i thought it was weird.
thats really wierd. is that by that author of crank and the other ones? i think burned is the one with the white cover. i might be wrong though. am i thinking of the right books?
yeah Burned, Crank and Glass (maybe another) is by Ellen Hopkins and it’s kind of like a poetry format, I think (I haven’t read them but I’ve looked at them)
oh, and impulse
I was told by my friends not to read those books. They’re about drugs or something? I don’t really know. I just see them and think, “I was told not to read them. Move away.”
And then I go and find something else to read.
Sounds like an interesting format, though.
yeah. its about her daughters drug adiction. (crank has something to do with heroin or something like that.)
Burned, is about a mormon girl, Pattyn, who lives with her abusinve, and alcoholic father. she was always taght that a womans purpose in life was to have mormon babies (particularly sons) die, and then wait for their husbands to die and take them to heaven. she hated it, and when she was around 16, started to act out against it. when she got in even more trouble, her father sent her to her Aunt Jennette. there she falls in love, and learns and later expierences exactly how dangerous her father can be.
it is a very good book, and quick to finish because of the very few words on each page, but the way its written can be very confusing. and the topics in it some may not find very aproppriate, but some times, i wouldnt read at all if i only read books that were “aproppriate.”
i still cant type…….. *sigh*
they all sounded like really good books but the form (or lack thereof) would get on my nerves. do find it difficult to read it?
at first it was a little difficult, but then it became fun.
i just noticed that everyone else here has a nickname or shortening of their name, but me.
capt. cockatiel-cc
ImInLoveWithJonathan!- IILWJ (jess says Jonathan for you. how did you even get your name?)
Demensiona- dem, dess, and their was something else.
but im just katie. but no other shortenings sound right. i just got my name from what everyone calls me. everyone also thinks im a Catherine. i DO NOT look like a Catherine. im a Katelyn.
I got my name because i liked the character Jonathan from the midnighters, the was the first scott book i had read and wanted something midnighter related, and it sounded cool at the time. its soooo long though. iilwj and jonathan works. so does kiki, kik, or kiki-wa (my cousin callls me kiki becuase she cant say kiersten and it caught on with everyone.)
kiki, thats cute! i have a friend everyone calls kiki. her real name is Katelyn like mine, but prbably spelled different. (and she doesnt like running. but her two insane sisters do.)
counting down the days till i go to the concert. 32!
and tommorrowwwwwww i might be able to earn some money for……..
EXTRAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
then im dragging allll myfrinds to the mall to buy it at Borders. nobody gets why i like to buy some books. but that way, if you want to read it again, you dont have to wait for the library, i want to start a library of my own for friends and any books i write, and the memories behind books you know will be good will last longer.
soooooooo. whats going on? there really isnt anything new since Extras came out. I NEED EXCITMENT!
hehe. our teachers are getting REALLLY mad at how our cliques are. you got the big long table with the popular people, a little gap and you have the juggalos, then you have the nerdy like guys in a sucluded corner, the girls that get on every one elses nerves at the end of one table, and jess and i’s friends at the middle (3 of the 4 of us there are as nerdy as our school gets. but math has set me off as a complete nerd. fmath…. *growls* i fate it with a fengence!). sometimes the nerdy like guys come sit with us. hmmmm, now you know what my school is like. (our teachers are brining in professionals to rid us of cliqes. hehe. they think they are helping us, we are just getting out of a couple of classes. which lately, math has been the one we get out of. YAY! i feel like a fidiot in that class.)
i think im ranting.
kiki, that IS really cute, can I start calling you that?
and katie, all of us here complete understand the obsession with books, and wow, I never saw it but you’re right, the excitement of waiting for a book is gone
at my school the eating area in HUGE but there aren’t enough tables so all the “cool” people get tables and all the geeky people get kicked out into the main hallway to sit on the floor
although, I’m lucky because my friends and I sit in that area between the school and outside (what’s it called) it’s really cool because it’s like we have our own little room, the only problem is that people are always going in and out through it
thats cool, that you guys have your own spot. our school is sooo small we all get jamed together in the real cafateria. thats why sometimes they let us eat in kotx hall. iys named after the first preist that worked there.
and you can call me what ever you want.
last night jess practicaly beat me up because i was talking to this friend of hers. she likes him, and i guess now she thinks he likes me. she is a fidiot sometimes. she might think i like him though. i dont, i think hes a nice person to talk to, but hes really mean sometimes. besides i think ive told all of you about who i like. and she knows him too.
im soooo bored. and i ranting again.
i have the word pedophile stuck in my head. i think i once knew what the meaning was, but i cant seem to remember. i was just reading something and the word popped it my head. fweird. no that doesnt work very well. weird.
haha we called our theology teacher last year a pedophile. he was always checking the girls out and stuff. he was such a creeper. lol.
i read Midnighters again today. i forgot how much i love Dess’s attitude! but i got to get the last two again.
do any of you remember the nae of the halfling? the girl that died? (in the midnighters.) i keep wanting to say anathema but thats a peeps thing.
no i dont remember. but that name sounds familiar. maybe it is .
i still havent read Extras yet! UGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! this sucks.
you cant put f with sucks. that would be bad if you did. im stating the obvious. hehe.
The girl’s name was… Anathea. (That took a REALLY long time to find.)
i knew it was something like anathema. one letter off! lol. thanks!
-Gurglejoyhappyfun- I LOVED THIS BOOK. I LOVED IT!
hmmmm, i dont have a book to read. AND I CANT GET MY HANDS ON A COPY OF EXTRAS YET! *cries*
i went to the library! but i didnt have time to get alot, just A Great And Terrible Beauty. i didnt even get the chance to order Extras! ill do that over the phone.
I have realized that I was the 1000th post. HOO HAA NERDFIGHTERS!
Anyway. Extras… yummygoodlovely book.
GAH! I CANT GET EXTRAS YET!!!!!!!
fool, were in the thousands, do you think this is the biggest fan thread here?
soooooooo, jess and i have been dancing since we were 2, and weve done this lyrical thing for 3, and ballet for three years before that, and tap about four years before that. and there we are, last night, putting our dance together, and what happens? JESS AND I END UP WITH THE LAST SATRT! AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT YOU LWAYS WATCH THE ONES THAT START BECAUSE YOU RECOGNIZE THEM THE WHOLE TIME! and we have been there the longest, and were finally the oldest. before (like last year) it was jess and i, and then college girls. AND ONE OF THEM HAD 2 KIDS! and now, us older ones, get the last star? thats not fair. especially because we have worked on the beginning part the most! its really fool to! its the only part in the song thats creepy sounding! my friend Rachel got it, which she is good, and she is only about 2 weeks younger than me, but the other one is this chick named Alex, and this is her first year in a class like that. the other times she was in jazz, and she is younger than us by at least one year! probably more! so it goes, rachel and alex, 2 nine year olds, 2 girls that havent done anything like that in their lives and cant even master a simple dragging walk (where you walk backwards and drag your feet gracefully), and THEN jess and i with some simple, easy pecas! (its french, so im not exactly sure how to spell it, but its just a turn that you go up on the balls of one foot, and pull the other one up to make like a triangle window with your leg. something jess and i mastered the first time we learned it when we were six!) and by then, wveryone else is already on the stage, and crowding it, so the only ones that will even notice us is our family, the ones that its pretty bad if they dont notice us! i wouldnt blame them if they dont. for almost 11 years jees and i have been in a class with girls older than us, and have been stuck in the back. now we’re older, one of the best in the dinky class, and what do we get, FOURTH START! we are supposed to be doing 2 dances this year, and if jess and i dont get a good part in the second one, im going to be furious! we already have to do some happy-go-lucky music because they picked summer for the stupid theme. we never even used to have themes, it was always you show what you have been working on. next year, jess and i are going to ask rachel if shell do a class with just the 3 of us. we might be able to pick a creeepy song to, because they shouldnt use the same stupid theme twice.
well, now that ive just pored out everything im mad about, which is another eeason my typing is very horrible. im so mad im typing faster than i ever have. but you people probably dont even care. *sighs*
i served a funeral today, and alot of people i know were there, and i hated it because everyones was sniffling really loud, and when some cries that loud, it makes it click that you will be in that same position sooner or later. that you will be in the pue crying over someone that died. i fate that. im tempted to ask if i could never serve a funeral again. but i wont.
there i go. ranting again. *sighs* well, at least some of my anger faded.
im reading A Great And Terrible Beauty right now. it looks like someone put surger or sand all in the cover. its all grainy.
that looks like alot.
Ah, that’s too bad about the dancing! I hate when stuff like that happens — the less experienced people get everything good.
i know. and this one girl in my class, she thinks shes the smartest one in the school. when you ask her to read out loud, she will stumble ON the word stumble. she can barely read words ive been able to read since 2nd grade. its embarressing for her, and after words shell say that she just gets nevous when she reads out loud. but thats not the case, just talking sometimes, ill catch her usuing a word wrong. but i dont say this to her because we all make mistakes. i mean, i cant spell without spell check on computers. them darn keys, cant they be in alphabetical order? thats the way they are in my brain. i just wish she would ask for help reading things. i would help her and not make fun of her. and when she says the word idea, she says ideal. i asked her why once because ideal is a different word with a different meaning when used that way. she told me she cant say idea. but i have heard her say it right before, so i dont believer her. she lies alot anyway.
I FINALLY GOT EXTRAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was trying to say it last night, but my freaking computer was going so slow, and i was getting impatient. i have to finish read A Great And Terrible Beauty first. i cant drop a book to read another, or be reading more than one book at once. i get them all mixed up. so i havent strted yet, but im almost done with A Great And Terrible Beauty.
jess and i watched It last night. i cant believe jess hadnt made me watch it before. she loves scary movies, i prefer the scary books. the tv annoyes me. i mean, whats with the commercials? they make me want to leave the tv, insted of “staying tuned.” with books, theres no commercials. but jess dragged me to the basement (where i am now) to watch it with her. it was good. has anyone else seen it?
I haven’t seen It. I watched Carrie on Friday, though. Extras is VERY good. (:
omg i watched carrie too! i literally squeeled at the end in fright. lol. i’m reading through the looking glass and what alice found there (sequel to alice and wonderland) i’ve tried to read alice in wonderland and through the looking glass about 50 times but can never get past the like 40th page. its sooooo wierd but im determined to finish it. (that and i have nothing else ot read right now.) i read the looking glass wars which is a kind of what if it went this way.. kinda book to alice and wonderland. it was fantastic and i suggest it to everyone. (but if you decid eot read alice in wonderland, it is VERY wierd.)
I read alice a couple years ago when my grandma got it for me for my birthday, I don’t remember very much except for the rat
rat… i dont remember any rat and i just read it the other day! hahaha.
I’m reading The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett. Oh, Discworld, you are absurd. >.<
After watching Carrie my brother grabs my arm and screams all the time. It’s really annoying. Haha.
hahaha funny. sounds like when my friend saw the grudge and we’d run up behind her and say grudge and she’d scream and run away. lol.
TOMORROW IS NOVEMBER 1ST! NANO! WOOT!
Sorry. I’m just really excited.
i am finally reading Extras, then jess gets it. shes not on here much anymore. too obbssessed with them boardies. but anyway, she wants me to tell you shell be back soon. and i have decided to learn something in any spare time i have. Old English. i got the inspiration from reading Midnighters again. but only the first one.
An, Twa, Thri,…. (i forget how to spell four, but i know that five is fif!)
tomorrow is nov. 1st! yay! 19 more days till conert!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DIZZY-MAKING!
hi guys! me is baaack! anyone wanna give me a brief summary of anything i may have missed? if not thats okay, its been a looong time and thats why i dont wanna read it myself. i kind of kept forgetting to come here… SORRY
🙁 wells i got to go, im getting yelled at to go to bed… (its only 10:15) 🙁 oh well maybe ill come back tomorrow if i remember, bye!
I FINISHED EXTRAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i liked the other books better. but it was good. i just missed Zane and Tally’s point of veiw. but it was really good. i mean i couldnt put it down.
welllll, i dont want to give jess a sumary, no one has to. its her fault she doesnt know whats going on.
well, im going to go look at the extras thread.
hmmmm, i think Scott likes to make new lingos. theres a new one in almost every book! i like it that way. its fool.
im soooo bored.
and im going to have to leave the computer before i get sick! jess loves pickles,and she left a dish with some of the juice in it by the computer. i like pickles, but i FATE the smell. UGH!
bye *pinches nose*
NO OMES ON ANYMORE!!!!! *cries inside*
GAH! ONES*
i feel, like i have, no life……………….. which i dont.
BYE!!!!!!
im now reading Black and White by Mallory Blackman. we are reading Julie of the Wolves during school, no offense to anyone who has read it and liked it, but i fate it. but thats because i dont like animals.and the only ones i like, are the ones that are warm and cuddly, and hunt vampires, or otherwise known as Jacob Black’s pack! any one else agree?????? hehe.
ew i didnt like that book much either.
uggghhh! i just typed alot, and it deleted it all! fcrewy fompuer!
anyway, that book, we had a test on part one today. i must have failed, i didnt study, and i fell asleep reading! that has never happened before! i never knew a book could be so boring as to me losing interest. once again the only wolves i like go by the name Jacob Black.
I’m hardly here anymore. Sorry. Nano is taking over my life. >.> Crazy novels. XP
hmmmm, really bored. i usually try to get on the computer once a day, even with the books i read. im reading Black and White by Mallory Blackman now. its pretty good. Rebel Angels is atr the library waiting for me, and my mom didnt even tell me! they called yesterday. and i ordered Platinum, the sequel to Golden by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, a while ago, but considering it came out in september, and they hadnt even ordered it till a few days ago, i probably wont get it till next year. thats how slow my library is. veryyyyyyy slow.
bye!
lol at least your library gets teh books. i dont think my library has gotten a new book in years. im trying to do nanowrimo but i doubt ill finish. i never realized how busy i was until i tried to take time to do stuff.
uggghhhh nooooobooodddyyy willl taaakke meee tooo the libraryyyyyy. gah! i hate waiting. today was oooo boring. *falls asleep on computer desk* *snores so loudly, wakes self up* GAH! noooo, my life is still a nightmare, * MORE DAYS!!!! and then concert yay! hmmm, im not as excited as i thought id be. hmmm, im bored. i have math homework. ugh. i dont feel like doing it. * bangs head on keys* hjedhjklfgcfgkmfgvjjnhhbngvfgfhghn m jnhgh
oooo, that was 8 more days till concert. i need to lay off the shift key.
ooooo, CRAP!!!!! my damn computer is about to die!
every thing is annoying me lately! im about ready to sanp off the Extras spoiler threads heads right now! and i dont even have a reason! they are just annoying me! i think its because my old neighbor that just moved away a couple weeks ago died mon. she had a stroke. my dad was tellin us a story about when dad wopuld walk down the street to get my older sister or something, (jess and i were ten) alma (our neighbor) would stand by the window and watch us like a hawk to make sure nothing would happen to us. it took my dad three years to get it into her head that she could go inside her house, well be fine.
i miss her already! when we went to the showing, i didnt really recognize her because she was always smiling every time i saw her, so she didnt look the same.
*sighs*
* feels like shes dragging herself across a desert* four…..more…..days!!!!!!!!!
YOUNG WILD THINGS!!!!!
ooooo, im sooo bored and no one else gets on anymore! i just finished Balck and White. i fate fridays. their soooo boring. *talk to self* *now imaginary friend* “Oh, hello there. what are you doing.” *nods head* “Have a nice day.” *pretends shes not crazy*
ooooh….i went to one of the Young Wild Things concerts last week…wensday @ madison square garden.
it was fool.
OMG Peeps and Last Days were soooo good, fav books ever! I heard that there was gonna be a sequel to Last Days, is that true? If so that would be totally fool! How many books are gonna be in the series or are they done? I noticed that on the side of the book (the opposite side from the binding) there were something like pulses or heartbeats (on a monitor) there and i thought it would be fawsome that at the end of the series the pulses would go in a straight line, signifing that it is done! Great job scott on all ur books, love them!
one…. more… night…..
Gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this sucks
i dont want to wait
i hate waiting
its been three months already
*sighs* ive got to do math homework *growls*
Fexcelent Book! I loved Peeps and the last days! I really like how you had a the characters from the 1st ook pop into the second one but it wasnt like an ongoing series!! Just like in the Extras vs Uglies, preeties, special!AMAZING BOOK!
scott-la hasn’t mentioned a sequel, i don’t think there’s gonna be one.
and Whitney, that’s the publisher’s logo, cuz it’s called Simon Pulse.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
happy thanksgiving turkeys. as jme-la/insane dr. evil from the extras spoiler thread, you are what you eat!
concert….. FAWSOME! but im sad. nothing to look foward to now….. *tear*
i’m like, a vegitarian who hates turkey anyway! so i had pasta for thanksgiving! managot! manigotti? managhuh? wow..cant…spell…to..save…life…especially…not…in…italian.
I finished my novel today. I got 50k on the 16th, but today I’m actually done! 59,002 words! Yay!
Happy… belated Thanksgiving.
I’m going to a concert December 6th. It’s The Kooks (LOVE THEM), Modest Mouse, Jimmy Eat World, Spoon… and someone I’ve never heard of in my life. Oh well. I’m excited.
Who said something about the pulse-thinger? Because that’s from the page-number-line things in the books. They’re never going to be straight because that’s sort of impossible with binding and everything. Anyway.
-Fotal congrats capt.cockatiel!
-And I fotally FOVE those bands!^_^
HEY GUYS!!!!^_^
Haha! Long time on HEAR right?!
-Fotal shame on me!0_o
-And yeah! Happy belated Thanksgiving from me too! ^_^

-Bye guys! ^_^
hmmmmmmmmm, nothing to say………… im getting Platinum by Jennifer Lynn Barnes tomorrow. well, at lest thats what i think it is. i can never remember what i have to order, i have to do it toooooooo much!
hmmmm, ive got math homework. i dont want to do it!
hi Demensiona! fawesome name.
oooh…cool concert, capt. cockatiel. who’s the people you’ve never heard of?
so, were you doing NaNoWriMo?
mine is….oooh…this’ painful…3,605. \
hey, i’ve been busy! november’s been such a hellishly busy month for me
whoa, the eye of the peep on the top of this page is really bloodshot….like, she must have tear duct issues.
the kooks? im listening to them now!
I love the Kooks. The people I’d never heard of are…Coheed and Cambria. And She Wants Revenge. >.> Now, though, that I have seen their names I am hearing about them everywhere. Which is very strange. Oh wells.
Serafina Zane: Yeah, I was doing Nano. Second year for me.
hmmmmmmmmm, so i was reading the comment that it opened up to. it was the church stealing incedent. its number *scrolls back to find it* well, cant find it, but still. we got the commandment wrong though. its the 7 commandment.
hmmmm, i have a test tomorrow. i big one! bye!!!!!!!!
very very very very very very bored
oh i’ve heard of both of them. because i am a loser who watches Fuse all day.
Coheed and Cambria is the combic-book geeks who have the dude with the cool hair. and She Wants Revenge have that one song, and i’ve seen commercials for thier album, but not much else.
yeah. i tried doing NaNo the beginning of the month, but i got behind. too late now. only an hour left in november (where i am, at least)
its december second where i am. tomorrow, mon. will be december third.
hmmmmm, soooo bored.
i think it was december first where i was, but i have problems with keeping track of the date and day of the week.
i have problems keeping track of the date too. imagine how hard it was for the teenagers in John Marsdens Tomorrow series (a book i recomend), or Flowers In The Attic by V.C. Andrews.
hmmm, i gotta go, gettin yelled at!
CONCERT DAY! YAY!
Hmm. The only other thing I have to say is that I’m reading The Black Tattoo by Same Enthoven.
So, I’m rereading PEEPS and the last days. Why? Well, because they rock hard core!!! I remembered PEEPS being totally amazing, but I didn’t remember it being nearly as amazing as it really is!! Oh my gosh, I keep a highlighter with me at all times to highlight amazing quotes in that book, because there are so freakin many!
I never knew the Kooks would be that good live. They were, by FAR, the best band for performance (and anything else, in my opinion) there. But they were the opener! Because no one here knows who they are! There were these people in back of us and when Luke Pritchard was talking they were like, “I can’t understand him! He’s TOO ENGLISH!” Which was rather annoying, since I was trying to understand him. XP Out of the rest of the bands (She Wants Revenge, Spoon, Coheed and Cambria, Jimmy Eat World and Modest Mouse) Spoon was the next best after the Kooks, and then Modest Mouse, Jimmy Eat World. Gah. And it was 6 hours long. And Coheed and Cambria are not good live. At all. Maybe they are good otherwise (I don’t know, I’ve never heard them) but they were horrible at the concert.
So basically it was loads of fun and I hope that the Kooks come back here. They are AMAZING. /concert review.
cool concert.
hey, i read the Black Tattoo too. it was actually pretty good. i loved all the “typical” rants.
hmmmm, the Black Tatoo sounds familiar, but i know i didnt read it, i probably just saw it somewhere, anyone want to giveme a summary??????????????????
i havent heard of any of those bands. what kind of music do they play?? rock?
the next concert i go to WILL (notice the capitals) be Evanescence.
Katie: Uh, I guess they’re rock. Or alternative. Whatever you want to call it. And The Black Tattoo has to do with demons and pretty kick-awesome fight scenes. I suppose the basic plot is that… Uh… I guess you could say it is that Charlie, a young guy, gets possessed by a demon. And his friend Jack has to help him. Or something. I don’t know. It’s a rather comfusing and large book in three parts. I think it’s three… I’m only in part two. There may be four. But anyway, it’s over 500 pages, which is always good.
Can I do links here? This is the concert (the Kooks, anyway): http://youtube.com/watch?v=CqnhLmcplJ0
It’s quite, you know, bad quality there since it was very loud and all. XP
okay, i know what rock is, but whats alternative? people say that thats what some of Evanescence’s music is, and im like, “and that is???”
thatnks for the link, i was actually going to go to youtube next. and thanks for the information on what the book is about.
EVANESCENCE GOT NOMINATED FOR THE GRAMMYS!!!!!
listening to it nowww….. theyre okay. not my kind of music, but they have talent. they remind me of the beatles. theyre okay. i just like the dark lyrics and things like that. Evanescence. but they are good. how did you hear of the,???? ive never heard of them until now.
How did I hear of the Kooks? (First, though, you may want to check out some of their other stuff on YouTube. It’s obviously much better than that live show. XP) They play that one song on the radio — She Moves In Her Own Way. They’re really new in the US, though. In the UK they’re really popular. Here, not so much.
Darker lyrics from the Kooks I suppose would be, like, Matchbox. Or Ooh La. Or almost every other song. Ish. I like them a lot. (:
the label “alternative” bothers me. like, windows media player genre-labels all my music as alternative. i’m just like, ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT? THIS IS ALL I LISTEN TO!
so i go in and click “edit genre” and change it to “awesome”
i luvs my Arctic Monkeys. *mentally hugs Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not*
they’re from the UK too.
yeah, i’ve heard of Evanescence, they had an album come out fairly recently, didn’t they? The Open Door?
i have obssessive knowledge of things like that.
and i’ve seen at least one Kooks video, heard them a couple times.
anybody heard of The Raconteurs? they’re fiercly awesome but sort of obscure. got jack white in them, but they’re way different (and better, in my opinion) than the white stripes. and brendan benson.
i found my copy of Broken Boy Soldiers yesterday and listened to it like eighty times. in my defense, it is a short album.
u’ve probably/possibly heard Steady, As She Goes, that was their single.
personally, i like Hands, and my all-time favorite Yellow Sun. come on, it’s practically a song about WEREWOLVES! and it’s peppy! what’s not to love?
funny all these random music posts. though this *is* the Last Days spoiler thread. so it’s almost on-topic.
the black tattoo involves a lot of demons and going into hell and karate, as stated above. it’s pretty good. and i think it’s only three parts—or maybe only two, i don’t remember.
random, but the jacket flap description was totally wrong. all the events were out of order.
Oh, I don’t know whose heard this some before, But one song that suits this book almost too perfectly is TIME IS RUNNING OUT by MUSE. It’s a really great song, and it’s insanely fitting with this book, I think.
The music video is totally bizarre, though. I definately do not recomend watching it; I think it sucked away half my brain or something, maybe it hypnotized me
I don’t like “alternative” as a label, either, but some people use it. That’s the only reason I said it. I have no idea what it means. I mean, there is seriously a radio station here JUST for alternative music, and I’m like, “But… they play all of this on the normal rock station. How is it any different?” It baffles me.
I also must agree that the jacket description of The Black Tattoo was bad. It seriously makes the book seem WAY different than it really is. Amazingly different, actually.
Oh yeah. And speaking of Windows Medai Player and it’s weird genre labels, half the time they are… wrong. Like I’ll put in my music and it says “Pop” and I’m like, “NO!” and then I change it. XD
I don’t really like Evanescence, actually. But we won’t get into that since I know there are a lot of fans here.
i know, like they mention all the characters going things they never did or meeting each other way before they did.
alternative bothers me. alternative to WHAT?
media player suckz.
muse does tend toward hypnotic videos.
Muse sort of scares me. A lot. >.>
The jacket literally gives EVERYTHING away. What is the point of writing over 100 pages about something that we already knew? Huh? It’s stupid. >.< I mean, just skip to part two!
This was nine kinds of fawesome! I liked the end how that girl came brack demanding her strat but i liked the end to peeps better. Alana Ray was NOT like Dess!!!! I liked the characters from peeps better but i would not change these charactars at all! And was there a conection between when Min sang how the worms came and when Cal and Lace kissed they could feel the worms moving? So does the band keep playing do Cal and Lace go back to hunting?
This book made me want my guitar lessons that i have been asking for since i was 9 (im 13) even more!!!
Oops i 4got to add Mr.Brightside by The Killers is sooooo peeps
THANK YOU CAPT. COCKATIEL! you probably want to know what im thaning you for. for not saying bad stuff about Evanescence even though you dont like them. ive had alot of people tell me they suck, and i always say, “didnt say you had to like them.” but they never seem to care, so i quit saying that.
but still, i think they are making up genres for the fun of it. and Twilight, i didnt think it was Horror at all. i was like, “this isnt horror!” when i was reading it. but i still loved it.
okayyyy, im putting my sanity to question. sunday night, me and my sister are trying to get to sleep, and we cant. so we are laying there (we share a room) listening to Breath No More, and talking a little bit, and im like “does it look blue to you???” and jess is like “yeah.” so we looked toward the steps (they serve as our door, since there isnt one) and yelled down to our sister ash, and said, “does it look blue down there to you??” and shes like, “no.” amd we are like “creeepy, cooool, fooool” and then, of course my head went straight to Midnighters, and i thought to check the clock, but it wasnt midnight, it was 11:23. and ash wasnt frozen, and the electricity worked. i was kind of bummed. but it stayed blue for almost an hour and then went away. it was fawsome while it lasted. now this is when you say, find a good doctor, or i saw it too! i saw it three times over the summer too. we have come up with only one plausible explanation, the moon. of, frap! almost 8 here and i have home work!
BYEE!!!
oooo, speaking of midnighters… here’s a cool thing that I only figured out like yesterday.
I was born at Midnight :]
wow….fawesome blue-ness.
lucky midnighter!
i was born at 7:35, Bixby Time.
yeah, it bothers me, like with twilight where it says on the back it’s about vampires, after there’s about a 100 pages of mystery buildup. and twilight was definitly NOT horror.
i take guitar lessons. i like musicality. and guitar. and music, really. i’m a freakish obsessed music person.
Wait… does it say Twilight is horror?!
Dude, that’s messed up. It’s like not horror at all.
WEIRDDDDDDD
O!O!O!O!
I’m in love with Zahler :]
i could just be crazy, but did someone say they liked Arctic Monkeys?????? when i went to the Fall Out Boy concert, Gym Class Heros did a fawsome cover for them. i dont know what it was called though. but it was really good.
Would you guys please stop talking about twilight. It is an awesome book and everyone has different opinions about the genre, but this is a scott westerfeld page, not twilight. opinions should be expressed, but there’s a limit and saying twilight sucked totally crossed the line. I respect everyone’s opinion, but once you try to make everyone else think the same, you’ve crossed the line. So please leave twilight alone…i personally love it.
Anyways…the last days is fawesome, but i’m still a Peeps fan…Cal and Lace rule. Alana Ray is fool!
yeah, i’m the arctic monkeys fan. i loves my arctic monkeys!
and, really ironically, i saw Fall Out Boy with Gym Class Heroes too, and they did Leave Before the Lights Come On. it made my night.
i know, whatever else twilight is, it’s not horror.
sorry twilight fan. as previously indicated, i’m trying to be good and stop trashing edward cullen and his tan turtlenecks.
i love zahler too! and everyone’s all mean to him…
Twilight is romance! Romance I say! Noy horror! Unless you are afraid of, I don’t know, expensive cars? Washington State? TREES?!
Alright. Enough of that.
I am excited for the Kooks’ new album. Aprilllll. I can hardly wait. 😀
Okay, the ‘noy’ was supposed to be ‘not’ in case someone was wondering… haha.
i know, twilight is sometimes qualified as horror by crazy people. it’s like, really not scary at all, unless. no, people are yelling at me. stopping dissing of twilight. still isn’t horror.
but what about CITY OF ASHES????? March!! March!! 25th!!
serifina zane, just curious but, YOU WENT TO A FALL OUT BOY CONCERT!!!!! did it happen to be this nov. around or on the 20th??????
i went to that one.
and you can bash turtlenecks all you want. i personally hate them. anyone here like them???? i have a short neck, so wearing a turtleneck would make my haed look as if it was sitting directly on my shoulders. mixed with that and my moms fettish with always dressing us (jess, ash, and i) in turtle necks so we matched would drive anyone to hate them. i absolutly FATE when parents dress their kids to look alike, any one else hate that?
*sigh*. i have yet to finish PEEPS. but im reading it rite now! no, seriously. im reading and not looking at the screen and typing with one hand. multitasking is fun! shoot…now i have to look at the screen to push submit.
-Lizzy-wa OUT!
yeah, it’s kind of uncharecteristic of me, but i went to see FOB.
not the 20th. or at least i don’t think. i dunno, it was right after i got back from vacation…which was like the 13th. actually, it might have been. or maybe the concert was the 13th.
i dunno, it was at Madison Square Garden and last month, in november, and it was the young wild things tour with gym class heroes and plain white ts and cute is what we aim for and it was fool.
ha ha i’m an only child who was never subjected to alike-dressing.
i reeeeeaaally don’t like turtlenecks. i like t-shirts. and sweatshirts. and that’s about it.
finish peeps!
dude, with the new layout, it’s freaky going on this page, i see Aya and Min together and they’re all…eyes-y. i like the pic of Min better though, personally.
hehe. your rite Co-Prez-la. i mean about the eye thingy.
i absolutely HATE turtlenecks. i mean, turtles are fawesome an all, but i dont wanna LOOK like one! and same with me. about the teshirts and sweatshirt thingy. long sleeve shirts bug me. the sleeves are ether in the way, or there to short and then they bug you to!
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😕
Ah! The horrors of long sleeves! T-shirts all the way. Especially from Threadless. ^-^
Tomorrow my school is going ice skating… I hate ice skating… >.>
i love t-shirts. especially fantastic (as in fan. tastic. not fantastic, but like fan as in fangrrl, tastic.) ones.
*smiles down at admitedly cliche Lost Numbers t-shirt*
I am wearing a Lord of the Flies t-shirt… >.> Ahem.
Ice skating is not fun.
So instead of skating, my friend and I video taped this guy who worked at the skating rink because he had funny hair. It was quite an adventure. XD
i like long sleeved t-shirts. i like to pull them over my hands, theyre always o cold. jess’ get colder, but anyway. ice skating isnt fun. i fall down too much. what kind of funny hair????????
so i should have said this on the other one, but this one will work, this is for people who have read Tithe. what do you think of the content.? do you think its bad???? my english teacher asked me if my parents know what i read. they half do, but she said she read the book and told me that it was a little heavy! i was thinking, but didnt say, “the only bad content is where its got potty words!!! hehe.” but seriously, ive read worse. i bet most of you have. but it was a good book, i had to come home and get in trouble for reading, and finishing, before doing my homework. hehe, it was good…. *thinks about Roiben, hehe*
The funny hair that this guy had is sort of indescribable. His bangs sort of… came out from his forehead and then flopped down? I don’t know how to describe it. It was really weird hair, though.
Tithe is SUCH a good book. All three of those are SUPERB. I have read a lot worse, and I don’t think they’re that bad. Jeez.
Can somebody answer this Q:
Did Moz end up with Pearl? My friend and i are constantly at it. she thinks he did, and i think he’s still with Min.
T/S Lover
GO ALANA-RAY!
hehe. fan. tastic. hehe.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😀
i love wierd hair. i am a sucker for guys with cool hair. it’s like, my biggest defining factor in a guy being hot or not. like, there’re guys who i’ve completely stopped liking just because they got a haircut. i am obsessed. with hair. and also a loser.
nah, Moz stays with Min. Pearl’s just a friend.
i know. like, Tithe definitly has some…adult content. i mean, aside from the language there’s also all the violence and enchantments and resulting sexuality, but it’s not bad. i mean, those things are there, yet it’s still a brilliantly-written, completely awesome book. and because it has those things, it’s REAL.
this is real life.
welcome to it.
i know, i think my teacher was too sheltered. i think she wants me to read things like Julie of the Wolves. like we just read in class and i fell asleep. and i find it difficult to dose off during a book. has anyone else read it????
Serifina Zane, did you just call yourself a loser????? if so, dont think that, i think your pretty cool.
that does sound like weird hair. but kinda cool he could do something like that. my “friend” typed up a paper announcing an ice skating thing our school is doing (pretty ironic) anyway, this is what she put at the end of the page “Everyone Is Welcomed” now read that over a couple times and see if you notice something not right.
if you are thinking that there shouled be a “d” you would be very correct. then when the smartest of our group, (kelsey and i, which i think is pretty funny because im not that smart, but this is something anyone could catch) she denied and and said it was right the way it was. she thinks shes the smartest, lets just say her mother is her brains. but that was mean.
shouldnt* i mean. shouldnt be a “d” i cant type, i wouldnt have fixed it if it didnt change the meaning of the sentence. we need an edit button on this site.
I feel lonesome
yeah well, i am a loser. i’m just proud of it 😉
i mean, i do own a Klingon dictionary.
should totally be welcome, not welcomed.
i feel asleep during the audio tape of Hiroshima by John Hersey last year.
Serifina zane, well, in the outside world im a loser too. and a nerd. im kind of stuck with the girls i hate but i need to get through this year so i hang out with them. i consider everyone here my real friends. the ones at school just annoy the sh*t out of me. they are constantly talking about their styles and making fun of mine, (its very different from theirs) and if im talking about a book with the one i have the most in common with, one who has read the genius books of scott westerfeld and loves Evanescence as much as i do, this other one that gets on my nerves big time will come and interupt the conversation yelling “katie, nobody cares!” well, first of all she wasnt in the conversation, and second, the other person is talking to ME and we are talking about a book we BOTH like, so we BOT CARE!sorry got alittle carried away. that chick pisses me off.
serifina zane, ive got a question. if you find it too personal dont answer it, but, is your name really Serifina????? because if it is, that is fotaly fawsome! the uneventful name of Katelyn is what mine really is, but everyone calls me katie. which is equally uneventful. i want a fool name, like Esscence, i flove that name.
no, i really wish my name was Serafina though. it isn’t. my real name’s pretty cool actually, but Serafina Zane is just such an awesome name. it’s the name of a character in a story i’m writing, actually.
god yes, so many of my friends are annoying, there’s only a couple i actually like hanging out with. and a lot of them have really bad taste in music or books 🙁
and i HATE people who totally intrude on conversations they’re not included in.
I’m a nerd… But I don’t really think nerds a losers.
“Everyone is Welcomed?” HA! That made me laugh.
I have been friends with the same three people since first grade. O_O
i’ve had the same best friend since first grade, known some of my other friends since elementry school, most of the others since seventh or eighth grade.
i would have laughed really hard at the whole “everyone is welcomed” thing, but this f*chick thinks shes the smartest, and nicest person in the world. HA! i bet there are alligators nicer than her.
most of my “friends” that i dont like i have known since kindergarten, thats why we stick together, then my real friend thats not over the computer, Rachel, ive known since before pre-school. my friend that i talk to through e-mail, capt cockatiel should know, Demensiona. and then i consider you people here friends. anyone is a friend compared to the people at school. uggh, i fate them. but i shouldnt talk about them here because they have read some of Scotts books, and may come here. i dont think they will, but they might. uggh, i still fate them.
!!!!!!!!!!MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Holidays!
There is only one person at my school who hangs around with me that I dislike. She is clingy and has no sense of personal space and asks really uncomfortable questions. Like she will have eaten lunch with us and she’ll corner me and say something like, “You don’t mind me eating with you, do you? Heehee!”
And we DO mind, but we aren’t about to say that to her. So I have to tell her that we don’t mind blah blah blah. I’m so sick of her! Luckily she is not going to the same school as me next year.
Merry Christmas (Eve)!!!!! And Happy Holidays!
I know how you feel, there’s this one girl (I’m nice to like everyone in my school unless they REALLY piss me off) she still goes on Barbie.com has american girl dolls and plays with them…if you hadn’t guessed, she’s immature and it’s a pain b/c NO ONE ever wants to hang out with her (she’s nice and all but a litte bit of her goes a long way) and she is so clingy and I have to be her partner durring gym and stuff because all of the girls in my gym class are mean and stuff sigh….
Gah! I have be partners with the annoying girl in my school for gym, too! It’s like… some sort of curse. To be partners with people you don’t like in gym. Creepy. >.>
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, im talking to my uncle and listening to Evanescence, and writing on here. and honestly, i like this more than getting presents. but dont get me wrong, i love them too! although, my grams isnt going to be that happy, im wearing mostly black! she hates that. oh well. she understands style.
well i hate gym class as a rule, but i’m lucky this year, one of the friends i actually like is in my class.
annoying people suck.
hmmm…i’m not wearing any black at all. no wait, yes i am. black shirt. but with foolio Wierd NJ pattern.
you notice how everyone who ever seems to think/say they’re really nice is actually bitchy?
what the? why is my comment randomly awaiting moderation?
actually, i have a theory. it seems to do that whenever we talk about popularity, i bet it’s like built-in with the word bitch. let’s test it out here. bitch. bet this requires moderation. sorta smart though, i guess, because then people don’t like curse each other out.
oh! and it worked. now let’s see if this language-free post needs moderation. bet it doesn’t.
to people who can’t see above posts. westerblog is apparently hardwired to moderate people who use the word b*tch. (avoiding using it here in my control post)
voila!
heha, i didnt know that im going to try after i submit this post!
BITCH
wait it worked, maybe itll go away later…………
How was everyone’s holiday? I got lots of books. And CDs. And a Kooks shirt. n_n
Best CD I got was the Fray’s EP from 2003. I didn’t think I would get it…
had good holiday. didn’t really get any CDs.
yea for obscurity!!!!
Evanescence was the only cd i got. that and getting contacts were my favorite things.
i saw Juno yesterday. it was pretty good. funny.
i think im going to go write that short story that i havent added anything to for about three moths. i got another story line that is awsome, but i refuse to start writing it untill i finish this one….
BYE!!!!!
I wanted to see Juno! But instead I went to see the new National Treasure movie, which was really good.
I still have to see The Golden Compass, too. Meh. I guess I’ll have to rent it when it comes out. >.<
there’s a bunch of movies i want to go see…
writing is good. and what i should be doing right now….
i wanted to see August Rush, but its already out of theater!!!!! it just came out late Nov. Blades of Glory was in theater for three months!!!! i guess it wasnt that great. ill just have to see it when it comes out.
so i never actually got to write when i said i would. right after i submitted i was getting yelled at. and you want to know what for???? leaving my books in the living room!!!! BE HAPPY IM READING FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!!!! i could be wasting away in front of the tv eating potato chips. JEEZ!
hmmmm, it 12:31. im bored. i have to go walk at this stupid midnight race for new years tomorrow. *bangs head on keyboard* kjfsajkasflfasufsakjnhmjbcxncdjkncdjkcujyyuyhhyuyu *better stop, might get in trouble* UGGHH!!!! runners *growles* hate ’em. screw tradition…………
BYEEE!!!! HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@))*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, katie’s a little bitter here.
well that is over a month, i guess they figure that Blades of Glory was a bigger movie. or that it sucked so bad they needed to squeeze every ticket price possible.
dude, my house is full of books. everywhere.
are you kidding me?!?! august rush is already out of theaters? noooooooooooo. *sobs*
have any of you heard of the band keane? or the kooks? i LOVE them. Keane expecially. i have their cd Under the Iron Sea. It’s so good
we were just talking about the kooks.
and yes i was a little bitter. i just fate runners. they drive me crazy. my whole family is one and it gets a little annoying. anyone would be bitter. im not a morining person, and every saturday, we wake up at seven to run. hello, weekend, thats when your supposed to sleep till noon, but i usually get up at 9 anyway. but it gets annoying, as im sure, i get annoying complaining about it.
now i am going to write. it will be fun to because i just loaded new songs into itunes. music is inspiring. i come up with most of my stories when im listening to music.
IILWJ: I LOVE the Kooks and I saw them in concert in December. I am excited for their new CD. 😀 And I’ve heard some songs by Keane. But the Kooks are one of my favorite bands. I bought the last copy of Inside In/Inside Out that they had at the BN near my house.
Katie: August Rush is already out of theaters?! I LOVED THAT MOVIE! You must see it when it’s out on DVD or whatever. It’s really good.
August Rush, dude, that movie came out like pre-Thanksgiving. i’m not surprised it’s out already.
i’ve only heard that one song from Keane, didn’t like it too much.
i’m so happy! i wrote a lot yesterday. hit 30,000 words on a story for the first time, and i still know what’s gonna happen next!
right now, i’m totally happy b/c Fuse is doing this random Dozen Days of Downloads thing (actually….it’s the thirteenth. may be over already) where you could like preview a bunch of songs and stuff. and i found three that describe my story (thirty thousand one above) freaky well. which makes me happy.
*twitch*must evert my eyes!*twitch*in the middle of Last Days*twitch*Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
well finish it and then come back here!
avoid spoiler threads like the plague!
Oh I forgot to post it but I finished it the same day that I posted that.It’s fawesome! And I totally love the word fawesome!
i really liked that the book was about bands. did anyone else like that?
Serifina Zane- i liked that “avoid it like the plague” it was funny. and you are writting a story? what is it about. i like hearing about new things like this.
im soooo bored. i should read, but im not aloud. got in trouble. for nothing.
bye
i started the sweet far thing. i wish someone was in it more though. im in about 200 pages. its pretty good.
I am still waiting to get TSFT. >.> Except I know what happens in the end. Oh well. >.< Sad day for me.
TSFT is made of fawesome. even for the parts Kartik isn’t in. focus on them, don’t rush the book away. other parts are great too.
i love band books that are actually good. one of my fav parts of the Last Days was all the band stuff. i loves music and bands. they are fun.
see capt.cockatiel. this is why spoilers are the plague. yes. spoilers killed 2/3 of Europe. bet you didn’t know that, did you. well it’s true. 100% true.seriously.
yeah, i’m working on like 80 different stories. the 3000 word one is about zombies, sort of. the one i’m working on right now is about vampires. and bowling alleys.
I actually did know that spoilers killed 2/3 of Europe. XP That’s what I get for taking History of Infectious Disease last year. Those darn spoilers!
And I didn’t really mind it being spoiled. Those books aren’t my favorite, anyway. But if someone spoils Suite Scarlett or Demon Apocalypse for me I will have to kill them.
hehes, i laughed at capt. cockatiels last comment. hehes.
i know what happens to Kartik already, my frind kelsey told me. I wanted to kill her then.
the story im writting is about twins and a younger sister, who suddenly get these power things or what ever you want to call them. the sisters and their friends are inspired by real people (and in some cases, you people are in it too.) jessies character is Kenna, who is like a fire/heat conjerer. our how ever you spell that. my character, Alarice conjers ice. cause i like ice. and their little sister, Essy controls wind. i have another story in my head, but i refuse to start it till i finish this one, otherwise ill never finish it.
i dont know how many of you remeber me, or know me, but im katies twin sister jess. im starting to get bored of the stuff i usually do, and couldnt remember what i did on the internet before then i was like SCOTT WESTERFELD! so whats up? =p ive been gone sooo long, anyone care to give me a brief description of whats going on at the moment?
Demon Apocalypse?
personally, i loved TSFT. it was so completely made of awesome.
sounds cool Katie…elemental and all.
dude, History of Infectious Diseases. i want to take that!
Demon Apocalypse is the… sixth book in the Demonata series by Darren Shan. It comes out officially in May, but I bet it’ll be out in April. I love those books.
I go to a weird school, so we have crazy classes like History of Infectious Disease. Like right now I’m in Rock History/Writing. We’re starting the 70’s on Monday.
I love Libba’s books! I finished TSFT a few weeks ago. And I get to go to a book signing today (Even though it is almost 2 am here! LOL) and see Libba Bray and Shannon Hale! I love them SOOO much. Anyone read any of Shannon’s books? The Goose Girl, Princess Academy, Book of a Thousand Days… All really fawesome.
And just for the subject of this discussion’s sake, I will say that I liked The Last Days. I liked all the characters, but mostly Zahler, Moz, and Min. Very fool. The killing of the Strat hurt me, too. I love guitars, even if I can’t play. (How I wish I could!)
Peeps was better, though. It had more purpose to it. TLD was slightly rambling at times. But still fun.
Zane, your sooo lucky you get to meet Libba Bray, i wish i could, but ive never heard of Shannon Hale. and i wish i could play a guitar too, but i am teaching myself piano, but im pretty sure i already said that.
hmmmmmmmmmmm, nothing to do. i posted something about tsft on the extras page, i meant to write it here, but i forgot i was on that one. hehe.
im soo bored, i should read, but i need to write too, so i think ill go do that. besides this is the only day for a long time where i actually get the computer the WHOLE day. well, at least till 9, then im going somewhere. but jess got in trouble, and cant get on today, so i get it, instead of her being on all day. hehe.
OMG! 1134, i wonder if justine gets jelouse of Scott………….
I met Libba, and she is so nice! And freaking hilarious. Wow. She and Shannon were dancing and singing and just so funny. And I got to hug them. ^_^ It was a blast. I got really nervous and excited butterflies in my stomach when I got to talk to them. Totally icy! They said some cool things in my books they signed. *huggles books* Okay, I just had to share my super fun day! I hope everyone had a good day. *hugs everyone*
Meeting authors is always really amazing! 😀
(Except when I “met” Spethenie Meyer, which was not fun at all. Anyways.)
I reallyreallyreally want to do that Alpha writing thing that Scott blogged about. REALLY. I’ve actually started writing my story already even though I doubt my parents will let me go. D: *sigh* Oh well.
zane- once again, your soooooooo lucky. and huggles…. hehe, katie likes that word.
i had a good…. and very eventful weekend in general. i slow danced with a VERY tall guy, that has similar likes and dislikes as me, like, i dont know three times (at a school dance i didnt even wanted to go to, but went for him) and then i was in the mosh pit at an Against the Fire concert ( which i was standing next to a lesbo couple, kind of wierd seeing them together, and then the one chick was pretty protective of her significant other. i thought she was going to kill jess when they got knocked into each other.) but yeah, ill stop now.
BYE!!!!!
Soo, my parents say that if I get into Alpha I can go! So I’m working on my short story now.
Alpha……? feels like i should know what your talking about…… ugh, cant remember anything today….. anyone want to fill me in?
The writing workshop that Scott recently blogged about. I really, really want to get in.
oh, duh. hmmmm, bored.
capt. cockatiel, you are lucky. my school’s classes = lame.
yeah, i’ve read a couple of those Demonata books, i think.
also, good luck with Alpha!
and what is this “not fun Stephanie Meyer”? long story behind that, i guess.
yeah. i dunno, i think i liked TLD better, but not in a purposeful way. in a sort of inside joke cult movie sort of way. like, all the band stuff and “fawesome” and everything was what i really liked, the zombie apocalypse just made it rock harder.
i think i cried when they wrecked the Strat.
*tear*
also, my dad argues that they NEVER made Strats with gold pickups. i’m inclined to listen to him, b/c he’s all guitar-obsessed.
only book signing i’ve been to was one of Scott’s. well, i also waited in line for 4 hours with my mom so she could get her Phil Lesh biography signed, but she got me a smoothie so it’s okay. i want to go to more signings and readings though….
Serafina Zane: It was no fun seeing Stephenie Meyer because there were TONS of people there, so it was crowded with hard-core fans (which I am not) sporting “I love Edward” and “I love Jacob” shirts. I was all alone in my “Nerds Forever” shirt. Anyways. And since I only own the first book there wasn’t time for her to sign it TO me. Because only people who own Eclipse are entitled to that, which is, you know, VERY FAIR. And my friend and I didn’t even get to talk to her. It was absurd and not fun at all.
Scott’s signings that I’ve been to, however, are always really fun to go to because you learn something about the books and get to meet people.
Though I guess it wasn’t Stephenie Meyer’s fault. >.> Still.
My count of book signings is: Scott and Justine (twice), Darren Shan, Patrick Carman and Stephenie Meyer. And my old piano teacher is an author, but I have never read any of her books. So yeah.
okay, first, never been to a book signing and really really really (times three hundred) want to go to one. and i am taking the waring to not go to a stephenie meyer one. and second, piano teacher??????????????????? *blinks* luckyyyyyyyyyy, i want to learn piano really bad. and self teaching is harder than it looks. especially when you want to be the next amy lee…………….. *looks over* whispers, “pianooooooooo…..” sanity lost
Piano is one of those things that it’s like out of sight out of mind. Cuz if you don’t practice you will forget. I know, cuz I took lessons for five years, and when we moved I stopped, and now it’s been like two years since then and I can’t remember squat. Maybe it’s just me, idk,
I’ve been playing piano for almost six years, I think. My piano teacher now is really crazy, though, and my mom thinks I need a new one. XD But now that I got through all the lesson books and crap I can play whatever I want. So I have all the sheet music for the album How To Save A Life and I’ve been working my way through that stuff as well as weird pieces my teacher wants me to play. (And by “weird pieces” I mean classical stuff, which I don’t really like playing. I mean, come on. Old English music is better than baroque and romantic era music any day.)
My old teacher was Mary K. Whittington. Though I doubt that any of you have read her books, seeing as I haven’t. I think most of them are children’s picture books or something. Heh.
I would never want to try to teach myself piano. I would have failed. Just because I am impatient with piano and hate practicing, and so if I had to TEACH myself I wouldn’t have ever wanted to practice. >.< But good luck with teaching yourself, Katie!
see, i like practicing, im trying to teach my self the notes first, but i dont have all the keys down yet, just a couple. but i taught my self Mary Had A Little Lamb. and i know the beginning of a classical song, although i technicaly didnt teach myself anything there, just remebered the pattern of the keys. i wish i could take lessons. jess doesnt want me too because she says its a thing she wants to do and i should find my own. but its something i want to do too. but my older sister ashley took piano lessons when she was younger, and hated it. thats why my parents think jess and i will hate it too. but im different than ash in almost everything. my favorite evanescence songs mostly have piano in them. like Good Enough. i want to learn to play that sooooo badly. i love that song. its all piano and cello. this is a subject i could go on for hours on, but i dont think anyone will care so i wont.
so im almost done with TSFT. its taking me forever. usually bigger books take me less time than the smaller ones. not so much in this case. but i have less than one hundred pages left, and i think ill go read now.
BYE!!!
Edward plays piano!
The next song I’m learning to play is How To Save a Llife, which is going to be really hard.
But last night I learned Hey There Delilah, which was pretty awesome. n_n
Only other thing I have to say is that I got a new CD two days ago. Spoon, FTW!
Oh! And Katie, I like mostly songs with piano in them, too. Most of my favorite songs have piano in them. (Hundred by The Fray, anyone? That’s all piano and nothing else.)
yeah, piano is awsome. and i never noticed it, but Edward does play piano. its hard. to many sound the same. BUT IM NOT GIVING UP!!!! hehe. yeah, piano is awsome, but i like too rock out too. like now. im listening to Farther Away by Evanescence. and in a minute, Fall Out Boy. so yeah………..
hehe, BYE!!!!
yeah, crowds of people who are bigger fangirls than you are disconcerting.
i play guitar. i sort of suck and should practice more.
hmmmm….i can’t think of a single song i like with piano. guess i’m not a piano type of girl.
my family does own a piano though. but no one plays. random.
ohhhhh, your family owns a piano????????? *shoots jealous glare* my house isnt big enough to have areal piano. we have a key bored thing.
my boyfriend (havent really gotten used to calling him that yet) justin plays guitar. hes pretty good too.
Random: Does anyone here watch American Idol? Because I’m sort of angry that the Kooks were played as background music. >.< Argh. I mean, on American Idol? Come on!
I have keyboard (it’s what I started out with) but it’s folded up in a bathroom or something? We got my piano for free from a friend’s uncle. It’s really old and has damage from potted plants all over the top, but whatever. (I guess being really old is a good thing, though. XP)
is it kind of…….. antuiqe-y? i like old looking things. i like things to have history, but 1800s or really early 1900s is my kind of old. especially thecloths. clothes from the 70s, 80s, 90’s, and a few years into 2000, sucked.the 50s and 60s are borderline. but i like old stuff.
I guess it’s antique-y. It’s over 100 years old.
ooooo, goodnessss! me wants a pic!!!!!! those be my favorite kinds of pianos! pnes with history. new stuff doesnt have stories. its called history for a reasonnn! his-story! although, whys it gotta be a he?
Erm, there’s a picture of it here: http://nerdfighters.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=1833893%3ABlogPost%3A147204
Not a very good one, as it’s sort of up-close and whatnot. But that’s it.
whoamygoodness! i gots me a sucky keyboard! is that REALLY your piano???? ITS FAWSOMEEEE!!!!!!
soooo, this is something im copy and pasting from the extras thread. i meant to do it when i posted it there, but my computer was crazy that day. im really sorry i didnt post this before, but feel free to do it when ever you want, its something jess found and showed me:
everybody:
(jessie told me about this) write love on your arm and show it for the world to see. why? because today (feb 13) has the highest suicide rate. the organization To Write Love On Her Arms (www.twloha.com) helps people who struggle with drug addictions, self harm and depression. to show support for this organization, we are writing “love†on our arms, and rolling our sleeves up for everyone to see. when you read this, please do the same, and tell your friends and family as well.
~thanks
its awsome, go to the web site, http://www.twloha.com its awsome
It is really my piano.
Daang. I may still write love on my arm… even though it’s sort of late.
YAY! you can write love on your arm whenever you want to, and like i said on the extras page, if you want to put a day on here so everyone can write love on their arms, DO IT! ill be happy to write it on my arms. gives me a good excuse to draw on my self. hehe.
LOVE! http://www.twloha.com
hey, i heard about that. the valentine’s day twloha thing, i mean.
yeah, the piano was my grandma’s, so when she moved we ended up with it even though nobody plays. we got a couple keyboards around too, because my house is FULL of musical instruments like that.
I have always wanted piano lessons. But we don’t have a piano, or a keyboard, or room for either. It sucks.
Katie, I read TSFT! So good… ^_^
I used to play the flute, but I don’t have enough electives at school to take band, AND our amazing teacher retired, so I don’t want to anymore. The new teacher is a freakin’ bad word! True. Sad. Sob. BTW, the flute is wimpy and stupid, unless you get one that costs about a thousand bucks, because it will actually tune up and sound good then. RAWR!
I love Edward. I love that he plays piano. *dreamy sigh* I love Edward. I married Edward. (Don’t tell him, but I also married Pie. Apple, to be exact.)
the fact that edward plays piano is definatly a plus. and hed be better than all those famous piano composers put together. i mean seriously, he could move around the keys faster than anyone, he could get back to the same key before a quarter notes even begins!
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Oh so true.
yess yes, true true…..
haha! remeber that mouse from cinderellas name ! guss guss! i feel like him right now. repeating things….
yeah, soooo…… anyone read anything new lately?
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
ugh, Edward Cullen.
hey, i used to play flute too!
ummmm, this week i read Beautiful City of the Dead (very awesome, and about a supernatural band, much like TLD but different and equally awesome) and An Abundance of Katherines (funny and sweet). other than that, not much.
and, you know, everyone who’s read up to Blue Noon should go check out the HQ. check it!
we’re having another contest! with ZOMBIES!
seriously guys, come on down, we don’t bite. comment! join, all you have to do is ask! chill! talk about midnighters!
http://chasingmidnightwerewolves.wordpress.com/
i tried reading An Abundance of Katherines, but im not a fan of funny and sweet books. ill read them, but generally, i like the depressing stuff. and if theres supernatral stuff in it, im gonna go get it from the library right now! although, Ellen Hopkins is getting up there with Scott Westerfeld, Stephenie Meyer, and John Marsden(current favs all tied). i know a lot of you have already read Scott W. and Stephenie M. books, and some didnt like all of them so much, but john marsden is fawsome too! hes more realistic, if you can consider a group of teenagers fighting a war realistic, but theres no magic or anything. i recomand! as for Ellen Hopkins, it was recomended to me by people on this site, so who else here has read one of her books?
flute???? fawsome! that always looked fun. could you still play? you said you used too. but thats awsome. and dont you get lightheaded with a flute? i mean with all the air your blowing out, then sucking back in….. yeah… something ive always wondred…. trumpets too….. whats another instrument like that……
Flutes are VERY air-missing! They about kill you. They need more air than any instrument, probably. Insane things. I can still play. I only stopped last year. I suck, though. ^_^ I can play Phantom of the Opera songs. YES!
You people should read Shannon Hale’s books. Totally fexellent. Love all of her books. And Libba Bray!!!
An Abundance of Katherines is one of my favorite books. Looking for Alaska, too. John Green = awesome.
Libba Bray’s pretty jokes, too. I can’t believe I missed meeting her, though! I was so angry!!
A good author I’ve gotten into is Kevin Brooks. He just write realistic fiction, mostly, but he’s really good.
whoamygoodness! KEVIN BROOKS!!!!! did you read Candy???? one of the best books to walk the planet. i read it in…. 6th grade i think…. definatly not appropriate for a 6th grader…. but i like books like that! like ones that i “shouldnt be reading” *growls* english teacher…. TITHE! HA! bad book my ***!
too bad i havent been able to read any of his books lately…..
John Green is fawsome. i got into reading Looking For Alaska because Capt. Cockateil recomended. THANKS!
Libba Bray is fawsome.
I haven’t read Candy yet. I need to get it from the library. So far I’ve only read Martyn Pig (which I got, like, three years ago and never read…). But I bought Being and Lucas, so I’m reading those when I finish TSFT.
OH MY GOSH EDWARD CULLEN!!!!
Hes my favorite ever!!!!!!!!!!!! wow steph meyer and scott (this scott) are my two fav authors ever!!!
yeah…. bored….
i need to finish the two vc andrews books im reading (series) and then im reading two ellen hopkins books i got for my birthday, then i have to finish a series by mallory blackman, then one i dont even remember the author, just that it was a series Demensiona had recomended called Witch.
I’m only half-way through TSFT. If it were summer I’d already be done. D: I mean, I like those books, but not very much. They’re my summer books, I guess. And I really want to be reading other things… Argh.
I’m turning in my story for Alpha this weekend though. I’m really excited.
I read TSFT! It took me longer than usual, because I was so busy. It was frustrating. It’s SOOO sad-making! You’ll have to keep reading. And not cheat. And then you can die. ^_^
I already know what happens at the end. Someone told me. I guess I don’t really mind because
1. I don’t fully believe it and
2. I don’t really care very much either way.
So whatever. D:
it doesnt matter wether you beleive it or not, i thought it was even more unrealistic than Twilight, but if you get into it enough, itll be sad. and i knew too. my friend told me, and considering Kartik was my favorite character, i wanted to kill her when she told me.
love! http://www.twloha.com
sorry im ignorant 😛 but what is TSFT??
TSFT is The Sweet Far Thing. a good book by Libba Bray. if you want to read it, start with the first one in the awsome trilogy, A Great And Terrible Beauty. then the second one, Rebel Angels. then TSFT.
I was reading TSFT during class and my friend Peter took the book from me and asked me if it was a trashy romance novel.
Ha!
And then he started reading it and wouldn’t give it back. >.> Eventually I got it from him, but then he started asking me if all the covers in the series have “women in underwear” on them and this other kid and I had to explain that a bodice isn’t underwear and he wouldn’t believe us.
It was an interesting day. XP
i know, i had the same reaction to the cover. seriously, Ann sudders at bare shins! very dirty……… that book should be rated R!
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
Have any of you read that strange article by a woman about how Harry Potter is horrible and against Chirstianity or something? It compares everything in HP to the Bible and there’s this weird thing she writes about where Harry “tempts” Lucias Malfoy with his nude ankle or something. It’s absurd! But apparently that’s like tempting an angel or something? I don’t know. The whole thing made me laugh…
Sorry, but bare shins reminded me of that. XP
whoamygoodness, thats insane! and extremely stupid. so did hp really “tempt” him with an ankle?
love!!!! http://www.twloha.com
I think the “tempting” in the book was when in Chamber of Secrets he takes his sock off and gives it to Dobby or whatever.
If you feel tempted by that, I’d say something is slightly wrong with you. >.> Hahaha.
Oooh, and I might get to see The Kooks in Portland this May! I’m really excited.
oooo, the Koks! tell me how it is. i have to say, ever since i heard that youtube clip you told me about, theyre not that bad.
right now, im listening to this band i found on on vampirefreaks.com heres the link to their page if anyone wants to hear them, http://vampirefreaks.com/iscintilla they rock. i like them. i like a few the birthday massacre songs. jess told me about them.
ive never read hp books, i refuse to. i dont like reading real popular books. if i hadnt started twilight before it became popular, i never would have read it.
oops, i messed up two things. Kooks* and i forgot me little siganture thing for To write Love On Her Arms!
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
I read HP back in first grade. Or, my mom read it to me. So I got into it (okay, not “into it” since I don’t really like them that much) before a lot of other people did.
I’m turning in my Alpha story on Wednesday… I’m terrified. Hopefully I get in. I’ll know on April 15th. Which, incidentally, is the day that the Kooks’ new album comes out. I’m extrememly excited for that, too.
well, its obviously a good omen. The Kooks rock, so your story does to. its all related.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Harry Potter sucked after book 4. The first four I loved. Then she killed off Sirius Black, so I was like, SCREW THIS SERIES!
Why do the good guys die? Sirius, Zane, Kartik… *sobs*
yeah they do. in the book i just finished today, CONNER KILLED HIMSELF! and he was the good guy. completely depressed, i wanted to reach through the page and hug him….. anyone here read Ellen Hopkins? Demensiona recomended them to me. i recomend them to you!
anyone willing to write LOVE on your wrist/arm for st. patricks day?
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Who’s Kartik? Is he from one of Libba Bray’s books, cuz if so then you just ruined it. Well I guess it was my fault so yeah.
I’m turning in my Alpha Story tomorrow! So nervous!
KARTIKKKKK!!!!!!!! opening old wounds *cries* just joking, but that did make me sad. AND SORRY WE RUIND IT!!!!!! that word looks a little jacked up……… ruind….. thats not how you spell it……
LOVE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com (LETS WRITE LOVE ON OUR ARM/WRIST FOR ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!)
I’ll do it on St. Patrick’s Day! Awesome!
I turned in my story. I swear, I just stared at the “send” button for three minutes and I winced when I clicked it. Then I sort of freaked out and watched the Kooks’ new music video, like, ten times in a row. >.> I know. Weirdness.
I agree that HP just got bad after book 4. Okay, I guess book 5 was alright until the ending bit, but after that they were just BAD. Harry is such an annoying character and the entire seventh book I just hated him and wanted him to shut up. Urgh. >.<
seriously, ive seen the movies, and yes the kids got problems, but he rings wimp to me….
YAY!!!! ST. PATTY”S DAY IT IS!
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Harry is an extreme wimp. He’s very selfish, too. And not the brightest kid, either. >.> He’s sort of laaaame.
I’m buying tickets Monday for the Kooks concert! I’m soooo excited!
YAYS!!!!!! KOOKS!!!!!!!!! tell me how it goes!!!!!!!!!
he is lame.
LOVE!!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
I’m just full of Kooks news… today was Luke Pritchard’s birthday. XP Tomorrow my friends and I are apparently having a party at lunch. Hahahaha. Not only will it be in celebration of his birthday, but also the ticket-buying.
I’ll stop talking about the Kooks now…
TALK ABOUT THE KOOKS AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!!!!!!!!! id be excited too! id be stoked!!!!!
LOVE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
wow, i really haven’t been on in forever when it’s pages to catch up on on the TLD spoiler page…..
hmmm….only book i’ve read by Kevin Brooks is The Road of the Dead, which was sort of supernatural, cuz it had future-seeing and stuff.
and so many hot guys die in books. tis sad.
and right after i finished TSFT, i read another final book in a trilogy i’d been looking forward to, which also had a hot guy in it who was awesome, and he died too.
was truly depressing in combination.
of course, both books were unbelievably awesome and now among my favorites.
and i’m watching a video by The Bravery—Believe. it is IRRATIONALLY MESMIRIZING. seriously, look it up. it’s like, hypnotic to an irrational degree.
and a pretty good song.
but also scary-hypnotic video!
and i can’t say i’ve heard more of The Kooks than that one video that’s on Fuse sometimes, Naive maybe?
good for you that you’re getting to see them.
concert-going ftw!
and band fangirling is allowed! this is the LAST DAYS spoiler page, after all.
also, *still watching music videos*
of all the things in this world i don’t care about, watching the dude from Panic! At the Disco
(still obstinately using the exclimation point because it was stupid of them to take it out)
vaccuum his bedroom wearing his little red and white pajamas. seriously.
and their stupid new single which sounds like a bad reject from Sargent Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band has taken up residence in my head for like, the last week.
not the most fun experience, that’s for sure.
and it is causing me to judge them with irrational harshness.
also, what’s up with thier newly short song titles? c’mon, you’re lame if your song and album title together add up to less than ten words. (wait. Charmer by Kings of Leon. on Because of the Times. okay, even with the band name that’s less than ten. oh well. new rule only counts for Panic! cuz they’re evil)
also, THERE’S NO SUCH TIME AS NINE IN THE AFTERNOON.
GET. OUT. OF. MY. HEAD.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naive probably would be a video you’d see…
I have (seriously) only ever heard one song by Panic! At The Disco.
Really. I don’t know how I’ve managed it. Probably because I don’t listen to a radio station that plays them. Weird.
And I’ll just say now that I HATE daylight savings. DST + standardized test = badness
I mean, how is testing me when I am half-asleep a fair representation of my intelligence? It’s not fair even when I’m awake (fugging tests…) and now I have to take it when I’m ASLEEP? What?!
We’re writing love on our arms today, right?
*grabs green pen*
YUP!!!!!
for all those who wrote love on their arms today…..
THANK YOU SOOOO VERY MUCH!!!!!! *big big big HUGGGSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!*
thank you very much, even if you meant to, but forgot. it happens, we all forget. (covers up guilt because she forgot it was st. pattys day untill her teacher said it in the last hour of school, so she wrote it on pretending it was there all day)
Haha. I wrote it on my arm. (:
Do any of you listen to the Wombats? I love them. Or the Shins?
never heard of them.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
They’re quite a happy and hilarious band, so I don’t know if you’d like them, Katie.
But The Shins aren’t particularly upbeat and perky, so maybe you should check them out. Erm, my favorites by them are “Phantom Limb,” “Mine’s Not a High Horse” and “Australia.” Good stuff.
But I lovelovelove the Wombats. I mean, if you’ve ever listened to Joy Division you need to listed to “Let’s Dance to Joy Division” by the Wombats and laugh and fall in love with the song. XP They’re brilliant. I’m hoping my parents will get me their CD for my birthday, since they’re from the UK and it’s only on import.
wow i loved TLD but it wasent as good as Peeps i have to say. and i really didnt get the ending it was all going to fast.
My favorite character would be Pearl she’s such a musial genius. i really hated Minerva somehow i dodnt know why but i was really sad peral didn’t end up with Moz.
I just have wish there was another book coming out.
And i also cried when Kartik died. (horrible ending for me)
my favorite bands are Evanescence, Against The Fire (local band) Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and sometimes i listen to what jess shows me. like icp, dark lotus, twizted, and zug island.
im gonna go look up The Shins! as long as they dont ring hippy im good.
LOVEE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
My favorite bands are The Kooks, The Wombats, The Fray, Augustana, The Shins, Death Cab for Cutie, Guster, Paolo Nutini (solo artists count, too, psh), Landon Pigg, Ingrid Michaelson, Jason Mraz, Spoon, Los Campesinos, The Clash, The Kinks, and The Cure and lots and lots of other stuffs.
Why do bands all start with “the”? It must make them good/better or something. I dunno.
they do all start with “the”…… huh……..
LOVE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
I guess I just like bands that start with “the.” Freakish of me, but whatever.
Tomorrow is my younger sister’s birthday. She’s getting a Jack Johnson CD, so I’m sort of angry since I asked for it. >.> And now she’s getting it. Oh wells. I’m getting Feist’s CD for my birthday, so that’ll be good anyway…
OHMYGOODNESS!!!!
i forgot The Academy Is…
im such a bad person…. THEY ROCK!!!!! and another “the” too………
*rocks to skeptics and true believers* *gasps* GUY!!!!!!!!!
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
what does everyone think about writting “love” on their arms for april fools?
I probably won’t remember to write it on April Fools, since I’ll be on vacation. But I don’t, like, object to it or anything.
I forgot Kate Nash and Yael Naim and The Hoosiers (another “the” jeez). And The Plain White T’s. And Switchfoot and Relient K!
I like too many bands to remember them all…
I like Underoath, Senses Fail, Breaking Benjamin, Hawthorne Heights, My Chemical Romance, Rise Against and others like that
MYCHEM!!!!!! ROCKSSSS!!!
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.twloha.com
*doesn’t like My Chemical Romance* Oh well. >.> To each their own music. I’ll just rock out to the Wombats… Ha.
So today I wrote an essay for Genetics that isn’t due until after Spring Break. But I didn’t want to turn it in on my birthday, so I figured I’d do it really early. Hahaha.
its actually very interesting to see what music other people like. and then i go look it up, and then in a month, it may end up on my favorites!
im writting a story for english (our teacher was lazy and wanted to give us something over spring break) i think this is the hardest ive worked on a school assignment. lol.
LOVEE!!!
http://www.twloha.com
My break isn’t until next week. ):
I just finished and turned in a story for Creative Writing last week. It was horrible and could only be five pages long. So mine was really bad because it needed to be longer than that by FAR. Oh well.
in the end, mine ended up being 15, and i dont think she wants anymore. but for my own benefit, im going to make it longer after i turn it in.
LOVE! http://www.twloha.com
I got new t-shirts today. Threadless sales are the best. (:
oooo…
GOT THE CUTEST SKIRT FROM HOT TOPIC!!!! its black and kind of flowy…. reall short though. ill just wear it to dance… but sooo cute. i love hot topic…..
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
I have never been in Hot Topic. Actually, there are a lot of stores I’ve never been in. American Eagle and Hollister used to be on that list, but then my friend made me go in with her to show me something she wanted to buy. That was a sad day for me, hahahaha. XP
lol…
YOUVE NEVER BEEN IN HOT TOPIC!!!!! *gasps* go in go in! some of the stuff in there may not look the cleanest but its awsome in there!!!!! GO IN!!!
i hate hollister. sorry for those who love it.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
I just loved The Last Days. It takes special talent for an author to be able to write from five different point of veiws. I love how you could tell who was telling the story, and you dont have to look back at the chapter title. I also loved how he brought Lace and Cal back in, when you have totaly forgotten about them!
Nobody at my school knows about Scott Westerfeld! Two other kids in my class have read the Uglies Trilogy, and thats basically it! I cant get Scott’s books fast enough!
Congrates’ on all of your great books Scott!
All of his books are totally bubbly!
And very Icy!
(LOL!)
yeah that was cool. ive read other book where the narrator changed, but never five! out of Peepe and TLD, which was your favorite? i liked TLD the best. lol.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com (click it, youll be happy you did.)
I will make sure to go into Hot Topic when I am at the mall next Saturday (yes, I have a planned trip – we go once a year).
I actually liked Peeps the best. Nothing beats chapters on parasites. (:
once a year? i would go crazy. id like to go once a week! but i cant. temptations…. no money…. they dont mix.
and your right. them parasites got to love them. lol.
remeber when our posts were like, miles long, and now they are miniscual? i miss those days when i could type forever on here…..
LOVE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Well, I go to the mall with my friends once a year. (Usually around this time, too.) But before school I go to the mall that is closer and filled with stores I don’t like. For school shopping. >.> Oh well.
Last night I got back from Idaho which was “vacation” for three days. It was terrible and we were staying out in the middle of nowhere an hour away from the nearest town.
And it was snowing. A lot.
I hated it.
We were there to look at colleges in Eastern WA. I don’t know why we were in Idaho at all, really, since it had nothing to do with the point of our trip. Hrm.
lol.
wow college. it seems like EVERYONE is older than me! lol.
i LOVE snow. but rains good too. i just FATE heat with a passion.
LOVE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com

I’m just turning fifteen next week. We were looking at colleges more for my older brother, who is sixteen (seventeen next month), than for me. But I did really like one of the schools we visited.
I hate extreme weather. That is why I like where I live, because we don’t get much of it. Rain, whatever. Hot-ish in the summer? Whatever. The occasional snow day and heat wave is fine by me, just so long as I get normal weather after.
Though I don’t particularly LIKE Seattle rain, I have lived with it all my life. So it doesn’t bother me unless I have to walk to the bus stop.
*jumps up and down* yay!! i thought you were like 18 or something. your posts make you seem older than you are. im fourteen, i turned fourteen in feb. so your not that much older, but still are.
i WISH i could live in Seattle! i LOVE the rain! and the snow…. and thunder…. not so much lighting…. but i guess its okay.
we dont get extreme weather where i live. actually, its usually dry, and sometimes sunny. the sky id usually clear, but there is always at least one cloud covering the sun. but we are getting more and more of days where its really sun shiny… *grinds teeth* i hate the sun. i like gray weather. lol.
LOVE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com

Grey days are the best! I love it when the sky is cloudy. I have this friend who is always telling that grey skies make people depressed and on those days more people commit suicide, so I support such acts. What? He’s crazy though, so whatever. >.<
I am starting to really freak out about Alpha… two weeks to go.
it is actually a proven fact that that is true, but grey days make me happy. im happy today, it is really grey….. lol.
can you explain what Alpha is, cause i never really knew.

Hi there…I found your site via Yahoo! when i was searching for cheats for nancy drew, and this post regarding The Last Days Spoiler Thread really sounds very interesting to me.. Thanks.
Hey!…Man i love reading your blog, interesting posts ! it was a great Saturday .
Alpha is a writing camp in PA that’s taking place this summer. Scott had a blog post about it a while back. I’m waiting to see if I got in – you’re judged on a short story that you send in.
oooo, sounds interesting.

I went to the mall yesterday.
Beforehand, I was at community service. We go once a month to repackage food to send out to food banks. Yesterday we packed, of all things, PICKLES. It was DISGUSTING. I will spare you the details. XP
But then we went to the mall and I got some stripey pants that I like a lot. And a dress for graduation (because my mom said I had to get one). I haven’t owned a dress since I was five. O_O But I like the one I got — I had planned on getting a specific one from Pac Sun, but it didn’t fit me. The small was too small and the medium was too big. How stupid is that? So I got a sort of tunic-y one instead.
And my birthday is on Tuesday, so I’m excited. I’m hoping to get The Wombats’ CD.
yeah, i haven’t been around for a while.
*is…not…dead*
and now i’ve got spring break!
i hate the mall. really i do.
and i think i’ve been in Hot Topic, like, once. and it was hilarious because it was with my friend who’s really smart, and not bad or anything, but just NOT a Hot Topic person, and it was funny to watch her squirm.
I also love bands that start with The. i looked yesterday (after uploading the Black and White Album by THE Hives) and over half the bands on my mp3 player start with The
The Beatles, The Clash, The Bravery, The Hives, The Raconteurs, The Strokes, The Von Bondies, The White Stripes, ect.
ha. i got away with wearing black capris and a t-shirt to my last graduation. cuz, i mean, really. if you’re the one graduating you’re wearing those stupid robes anyway, so who cares?
hey, that reminds me. i should post the end of Graduation….
maybe today. or tommorrow.
sooo, its tuesday for me does that mean next tuesday? or today?… so ill just do this now… that way i cant forget… i swear i have the memory of a gold fish.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPT. COCKATIEL!!!!!!! *hugs for as many years as you are old!*
and Serifina Zane- out of all those bands, the only one ive heard of is The White Stripes. lol. the only band i like with The is The Academy Is…, and then there is Against The Fire, but The is in the middle sooo….. right……
i would DIE! if i could never go into Hot Topic. and i really dont get why people are so scare of the place. Hollister looks scarier to me! besides, you could meet the nicest people in there…. like meeee….lol…. but really, some of them are nicer than the those gangsters who…. excuse me language…. scare the hell out of me. there is no other way to put it. they can be scarier than the people you find in hot topic… by far. sorry if im offending anyone by feeling this way.
ooo, and i love pac sun. the stuff in there is too expensive for me, i cant even afford Hot Topic unless my grandmother pays. but i like to look!
LOVEEE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
SAVEEE!!!! http://www.earthhour.com
Hollister is terrifying! It’s all dark in there and the air clogs up your nose… eugh. It’s baaaaad. (Yes, I was forced into there again. >..<
I also got “The Reminder” by Feist and “Wincing the Night Away” by the Shins. Birthdays are fun. (:
Um, why was half of my comment cut out? Urgh. Okay then, so what I said was:
I got the Wombats’ CD! I ran up to my room to put it on and read about who the band thanked. Am I the only person who thinks that that’s fun? Because I do it all the time. I’ll, like, REread who bands thank… But one guy in The Wombats is from Norway, so his was all in Norwegian.
Which, incidentally, I am trying to learn (*nerd*). But I only know how to say “fresh” and that isn’t any help at all.
i read liner notes too. when i get bored.
and who needs to know anything more than that? seems like a pretty good vocabulary. all i can say in french is snowman, and i’m doing pretty well.
oh yeah, Hollister and Abercrombie are scary. with the wierd shutters over the windows? and the giant black-and-white posters of half-naked guys?
i have nightmares, and i’ve never even been in one.
and c’mon Katie, are you saying you’ve never heard of The Beatles?
i love “The” bands.
ooo oops, ive heard of the Beatles. forgot that one. lol. but ive actually only heard one or two songs by them.
Hollister IS scary. its worse than Hot Topic. jeez people. Hot Topic rocks!
and i read the “thanks” in cd covers too. you find out things you wouldnt have known before.
there’s something else i wanted to say, but i cant remember……….. ugh…. i do this too much……

Katie, I bet you’ve heard a lot more than 2 or 3 Beatles songs – they are played ALL THE TIME EVERYWHERE. We studied them for a month in class (yeah, don’t ask) and there are songs by them that I thought were someone else. So, there you go.
And you have to have heard of The Rolling Stones, too. I mean, who hasn’t heard of Mick Jagger and his… scariness? And The Who. The Police. The Ramones. The Sex Pistols. (Oh, jeez. Isn’t there moderation on these things? That had better go through or I’ll be angry.) The Backstreet Boys is even a “the” band for crying out loud!
See, I bet you know more than you thought.
Serafina Zane: When I was at the mall I decided that the theory behind the half-naked guy posters is to make the customers feel uncomfortable and naked. So then they have the desire to buy clothes! But, being Abercrombie and Hollister and not believing in using more than an inch of fabric per clothing item, these unlucky customers have to just keep buying… and buying… and BUYING.
I guess it’s logical, but oh so cruel. XP
yeah, i have heard of all of them, but in class, so i didnt count those. and jess was going to be Nick Carters wife in kindergarten, so ive heard of them.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
SAVE!!! http://www.earthhour.com
I have studied all the bands I mentioned in class. (Except the Backstreet Boys, since that would be sort of sad.) So I know a lot about “the” bands. Yeah… I’ve been in a rock history class for this year, so a semester and a half. We’ve gone from The Beatles all the way up to U2, now.
There is seriously even a band called The Band. >.>
Do any of you listen to Jack Johnson?
The Band??? thats weird…..
never heard on Jack Johnson…. whos he?
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
SAVE!!! www,earthhour.com
Um… Jack Johnson is a cool singer. http://youtube.com/watch?v=mVmbGsEtmFI
Grr. My zune is being a spaz. >.<
yeah, i can confirm that The Band is a real band. i was actually going to make a The Band joke, but i figured no one would get it.
you know what annoys me to an irrational degree? the fact that the band The Eagles aren’t actually The Eagles. they’re Eagles. am i the only one who thinks that’s a horrible name? it would be SO much better with a ‘The’. seriously.
and does Sex Pistols really have a ‘the’? i thought they didn’t.
*shrug* i dunno, a lot of times bands don’t actually have a “The”, but then people put it there by accident. Like the Arctic Monkeys (who i’m listening to right now—ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE VAMPIRES!), they don’t actually have a the, but you still put a the before the name cuz calling them Arctic Monkeys sounds sort of wierd.
so sometimes the ‘The’ is just an article.
and yeah, there’s TONS of ‘The’ bands, there i was just listing the ones on my mp3 player at the time.
and here i thought the naked guy posters were just a sublte attraction for their gay clientelle. i mean, seriously. for a couple months in the Abercrombie by me (which i always scuttle past—can you believe my mall actually has TWO? an Abercrombie and an Abercrombie and Fitch) they had one of a shirtless guy standing next to a guy who was like, tugging down the neck of his t-shirt. and had one of those ridiculous “fierce” model expressions.
yeah, i killed my mp3 player battery last night. it’s charging.
funny, cuz it gets like 40 hours of battery life and i have to charge it like, every other day cuz i use it so much.
lol, i use my ipod too much too. and its crazy, because i had a mps before, and i was like “yeah i dont need an ipod, i can live on this” even though the thing held like, 10 minnutes of charge in its dying days. but stillll, now i never put down the ipod.
so i am listening to jack johnson…. its pretty good…. the caption thing on the side says way to many jack johnsons…. ill copy and paste… ” Music video by Jack Johnson performing If I Had Eyes
with Jack Johnson
(C) 2008 Jack Johnson ”
lol, i am easily amused.
two ambercrombies???? i go crazy over one, and i run when i pass hollister, it burns my eyes……..
anyone heard of Brand New? if not heres a link…. http://youtube.com/watch?v=aMJIc9USE2U

The Sex Pistols defo have a the in their name.
There were two Abercrombies at my mall, too! I saw the second one and I was like, “There is no difference! WHAT THE HECK?!” Seriously, though, what is the point of that? There is no difference between Abercrombie and Abercrombie and Fitch, except possibly the size (which I wouldn’t know for sure, since I didn’t go in).
I got my zune for my birthday, so I’m still working on getting all the music to go on correctly. (It was seriously screwed up and kept saying that stuff by The Kooks was by Switchfoot, and I don’t have the slightest idea why…) I’m actually about to put five more CDs on it.
My friend really likes the Arctic Monkeys. I think she’s getting a CD of theirs for her birthday, so I’ll make her burn me a copy or something. (I am poor since I’m spending all my money on concert tickets for something in Portland and on The Kooks’ new CD that comes out the 15th.) (AKA four days, because yes, I am counting down.)
Last night my brother’s girlfriend gave me a CD as a birthday gift. It’s Yael Naim. Any of you seen the commercial for the Macbook… Air? Is that what it’s called? I don’t know, since I could never buy it. Anyway, if you have, the music is really cool and is by Yael Naim.
I am so rambly these days…
yeah, my friend loves the Macbook Air song, she downloaded it off Limewire and everything, and stuff.
yeah, check out the Arctic Monkeys. cuz they’re fawesome. or at least Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not is fawesome. Favourite Worst Nightmare is selectively awesome in certain tracks.
i’ve got a sansa mp3 player, it’s pretty fawesome. looks a lot like an iPod, about the size of a nano but thicker and has a spinny thing in the center that actually spins, is pretty fawesome. holds a charge for a long time too, and it’s 2 gig (my mom’s got a 4 gig one, i think, and my friend’s got a 1).
i got this cool case that looks like a converse sneaker, and it’s kind of hilarious beat-up.
i loves it.
i got Veni Vidi Vicious by The Hives yesterday
(from the library…i get stuff out and then i burn copies. illegal, but ummm…my mom works for the library? i dunno. i sympathize capt. cockatiel though. i burn illegal discs all the time. symptom of being a child of deadheads.)
it’s pretty good. i think i like the Black and White Album better though.
yeah, my mall has TWO Abercrombies AND a Hollister.
thus is explained why i hate the mall.
re: Sex Pistols “The”. *shrug* guess i was wrong.
yeah, i’ve heard of Brand New but never heard any of thier songs.
oops, i burnt the cinnamon rolls.
gotta go, then.
and oh yeah, my mom’s all, guess
wow….
i dont know if my mall has two ambercrombies…… i get lost in my malll even though ive been going around around it since i was two…… but i know it has a hollister. im going to look for two ambercrombies, i might be at the mall tomorrow.
lol, my old mp3 was a sansa. ive had two. i crappy blue one that didnt last long, a sansa, and then my ipod.
is anyone having problems down loading songs? like i cant find ANY I:Scintilla ones that arent bush going “i did not sleep with that woman….” and it goes on and one for each and everyone! my goodness! i just want I:Scintilla!

I feel like I’ve heard of The Birthday Massacre, but I’ve never heard anything by them.
I’d had a CD player for the past… seven years. I finally asked for an MP3 player, though, because this summer I’m going on vacation for a long time and I can’t live with just one CD for over a week. (Because who wants to carry around twenty-something CDs all over New York? Not me, anyway.)

I really dislike NY. It’s too hot in the summer. >.< I like Washington – all our weather is fairly in the middle and never too extreme.
Last night I bought a Kooks song I’d never heard before. And then found another that I hadn’t heard before, either. I think my friend is going to download it and give me a copy.
Yeah… I am quite the Kooks fan, haha. Buying every song I can. XP
Tomorrow I start the next round of standardized tests. Urgh.

I have begun a mass freak-out about Alpha now. O_O
washington… so like, people say it rains alot (well duh, most people know that) and it makes people want to/commit suicide, and im like “THATS SILLY BILLY BULL CRAP!!!! I LOVES THE RAIN! IT MAKES ME HAPPY HAPPY HAPPAYYY!” lol. and snow… thats makes me happy too… so beautiful……… but gots me a question… when it in the summer time… like june… how hot does it get? i FATE the heat! if i could, id wear jeans and my tripp jacket year round!

STOP ASSUMING I WANT IT TO BE 70 DEGREES AND SUNNY! YOU ONLY LIKE THAT BECAUSE THAT’S THE PRIME TEMPERATURE SO YOUR PLASTIC FACE DOESN’T MELT.
whoa. deep breath there. yes, i have issues.
and dude, Katie, that was Clinton, not Bush.
my friend used to rock the CD player. we all respected her for that. she got an mp3 player now though.
interesting fun fact about me: despite my lack of CD player, i carry CDs everywhere. i have Revolver in my backpack, along with exactly one-half of the White Album (which half? it varies, it varies.)
i never buy/download songs. not my thing.
in fact, i actually went to a record store and bought a vinyl album last week.
yeah.
*has working record player but not CD player*
and i wear long (black) pants and jackets all year round no matter how hot it gets.
Katie: Um, it gets in the 90s in like July/August and maybe a bit in June. But I guess typical June weather is the 70s or so. Maybe 80s. I hate the heat.
And it doesn’t rain that much, and it reaaaallly doesn’t snow much.
I didn’t get into Alpha, but my best friend did. We had to write a short story that was fantasy, sci-fi, or horror. This was mine: http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2480501/1/Martin_Violet_and_the_Murder_of_Crows
The only song I’ve ever downloaded was a single by The Kooks, because I couldn’t really get it anywhere else. It was a B-side, so it’s not like I could get it somewhere else, unless I bought the record, which would be sort of useless to me…
yeah, i’m usually too lazy to download those.
but i get to hear them thanks to the fun magic of internet radio.
(go, Pandora!)
yeah, it was 70 degrees today. i was miserable, and no one agreed it was hot at all or anything.
nice story, Capt. Cockatiel. too bad you didn’t get it to Alpha, but congrats to your friend.
i think i’m gonna enter next year….
random fact: the short story i was going to enter if i entered this year was called Lazarus Grey and the Carrion Crows.
similar? yeah, sort of, but mine was about zombies and metal bands from Iowa.
Wow, cool story. Sorry you didn’t get in, but it was still good!
Yeah, so I took a break from writing my novel, short stories, and such like that to try my hand at poetry. And I actually like it, which is nice. And NO not that fluffy love crap, it’s…different…but yeah so….back to writing some stories and whatnot….
Thanks.
Ha! Lazarus Grey and the Carrion Crows! That is so freakily similar title-wise! Sounds like a jokes story, too.
My friend and I do this before-school extra writing thing with our English teacher, because we’re ahead of our creative writing class, so we’ve started bringing in poetry for him to read and critique.
I write poetry… a lot. >.> If my fictionpress is anything to go by (and seriously, there are 132 things up there or something and I have about double that total). I’m a lot better at it than stories.
I got Konk on Tuesday when it came out. I was a big Kooks dork and wore my Kooks shirt to the store. Ha. My two friends didn’t pre-order it from the store, so they still don’t have theirs. Which I think is slightly funny because they were telling me how I wouldn’t get it on time and they would. One of them is getting it from Amazon, and she isn’t supposed to get it until tomorrow, and the other got it some weird way from Barnes and Noble and I have no idea when she’s getting hers. XP I laughed at them.
Since I didn’t get into Alpha this year I’m going to apply to this place in Seattle, which is a lot closer (ha, obviously). It’s not a residency, which I really wanted to do, but it’s two weeks for six hours a day. So I think it’ll be pretty fun if I get in.
I’m gonna go to this girls summer academy writing thingy in New York for two weeks so yeah…
my goodness!!!! seems like i havent been here in forever. even though its only been a day or two. but stillllll.
the story!!!!! i was riveted. or however you spell that. but i do have one suggestion. you use “several things happened” a little too frequently. i get stuck on phrases too. then jess gets to go back and fix them for me. but i thought i should let you know. let you know. other than that i was like “huh? but wait… what happened…. what about….. WAIT!!!! what about the Consequence?!?!?!?!? and the Origin?!?!?!?!?? whys he get so many nose bleeds??!?!?!? and what happens next?!?!? he stay expelled?!?!?!?!? *gagsps* you aint done yet!!!” and i love the name Petra by the way. its ooooo… i dont know….. different. ive never heard it before.
love!!! http://www.twloha.com
ooo ooopsie… thats *gasps* came out a little wonky. lol. *gasps*!!!!
Thanks, Katie. (:
It used to say “and then several things happened” a lot more than it does now, actually, and I used it as a way to show that even though a bunch of stuff is happening around Martin, it’s not ever because of him. So I used it a lot for a reason, which is why it’s in there. Though I don’t think many people got that, really, so it was sort of pointless to put it in there. Even if it was sort of the theme of the story — cause and effect and everything.
As for what happens next… I don’t know. It’s for the imagination, I suppose. XD
Petra is one of my favorite names, actually. My mom and I tried to get my aunt and uncle to name their daughter Petra, but they named her Amanda instead. I mean, come on. Petra is way cooler. Plus, in the story it goes along with the bird names. (Did anyone catch that? Martin Violet = purple martin? Petra dove = rock dove? Because “Petra” means “rock”?) Which was an accident, actually, but a brilliant one (if I do say so myself, hahaha).
i knew petra meant something! i just couldnt remeber what. i was thinking “techno?????’ it sounds sort of … techno…. i likes it!
and i just love the whole cause and effect thing… so orignal. i likes!
yeah, just clarify that the several things that happened arent because of martin. (which in the end, he DOES have a cause and effect. the whole thing sort of revolves around HIM getting expelled which led him and petra to look for the bird killer. which causes them to end up in the white place, which kind of causes them to find the real killer. so in a small way, he does, just not significant enough.)
and that WAS one brilliant accident. i love those.
i have a short story written and its on a profile i have. if you want a link, ill put one up, but if you dont want it, just dont mention it.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
He ends up having an effect only because the Origin stepped in, really. When the Origin wasn’t around, nothing he did made a difference.
I think there’s a line in there that’s something like “the world seemed to stand still as I walked” which was me trying to subtly get that in there… hrm.
I’d love to read your story, Katie!
Jeez. On Friday it snowed (yes, FRIDAY, as in APRIL 18th) and then again on Saturday. Yesterday it hailed and then was sunny and was on and off like that all day. And today it was just cold but really sunny out. Urgh. I wish it was just in the 60s or something with sun. >.< I’m so sick of snow!
http://vampirefreaks.com/members/yoursweetsacrifice/my+writing%2C+rough+copies.
thats a link to my writting stuffffffss…………….. its a rough copy, bad grammar… extremely bad. but that is the shortened version, i plan to expand in the future, ive started a sequel to it, as well as another story with a whole new idea. ill post them on my profile there maybe… someday. but for now, there it is. i cant think of a setting or place for it, but my idea is Virginia. i hope you like it.
and its been sunny and hot almost alll week. i hate it, im about ready to tear the sun out of the sky. i would be jumping for joy if we got snow, or at least rain. im wearing my tripp jacket around the house because im in denial.
LOVEEE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Hermmm… The link didn’t work for me. It said there was an error. ):
I really want a warm, sunny day. Shorts are, like, my favorite thing ever practically. Right after t-shirts, haha. And I have these crazy plaid shorts that I really want a chance to wear…
Did I ever tell you guys about my Haircut Strike? I used to have really short hair (it still is pretty short), but I haven’t cut it for six months. My friend in England and I are doing it together. >.> We both got horrendously messed up haircuts back in November and decided that we were fed up with it. So there you go. He wanted longer hair, though… I didn’t really, but I figured that it was time to grow mine out a bit. Now I just look like a boy with a bad haircut, as opposed to a girl with a bad haircut. Oh well.
Sorry, that was random…
dye it with some colors. that makes things exciting. and when people say you have a bad hair cut, get all up in their face and be like, “well at least im different alll you hanna montana look alikessssssssssssss and i look awsome by the way.”
and here is a way to see it if you still want to. it involves seeing my profile on vf though.
go to http://www.vampirefreaks.com/yoursweetsacrifice and find the link at the top of the page.
LOVE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Ooh, I liked it. I mean, I think there could be some more variation in sentence-type, but that’s just me, the English Grammar Freak.
I love the name Chancy. ^-^
I would maybe dye my hair, since I think that at its current weird length that would make it look slightly better, but my parents wouldn’t let me. So that’s out.
But now I really want an excuse to call someone a Hannah Montana look-alike. Darn. Maybe I’ll just say that to my sister to annoy her or something… Hahaha.
Today was cloudy for the most part, but it SMELLED like summer. Which was nice.
lol, what does summer smell like???? i love asking describing questions. i love describing.
i like the name chancy too. thats why i picked it.
and i know…. my grammer sucks sometimes. its those damn subjects, direct objects, appositions….. you name it……
lol, does your sister like hannah montana? and who does miley cirus think she is? seriously! why does she take her voice down so low, and she can try if she wants to, but shes not a rocker. at least not in my mind. just a slut
sorry to those who do like hannah montana or miley cirus, i just hate her the most out of all disney channel people.
does anyone ever hit the keys harder for emphasis, but you know the person who reads it wont see it? i do that all the time!
LOVEE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Summer smells like grass that was rained on but is now out in the sun drying. It’s sort of just the smell of sunny air. If that makes sense.
My sister doesn’t look anything like Hannah Montana, but it would annoy her if I said she did.
And no one who comes out of the Disney Channel can sing rock music. At least not so far… hahaha, and probably not ever.
Only a month and two days until the Kooks’ concert! I’m getting super excited (which shouldn’t be possible, considering how excited I’ve been since we bought the tickets). I have literally been listening to Konk nonstop. O_O
You know what band I really hate? The Cult. That’s what we’re studying in class right now, and I hate them. Unfortunately, our teacher loves them. Previously, we could say that we didn’t like a band/song and he would let us say why etc. But now he, like, DEFENDS The Cult. Today I said something like “I thought the song sounded like mush. The volume changed, but nothing was in the middle. The bass and guitar and drums and vocals were all on the same level, so there was nothing to really listen to.”
And he basically got MAD at me. He was like “I disagree. I think The Cult has a wide range of soft and loud part and blah blah blah.”
“Yeah, I know. But it’s just that when the guitar goes quite, so does every-freaking-thing else. There is nothing but loud and soft and it’s BORING.”
I think I deeply angered him or something. But I really hated the music. And tomorrow we have to write four different things on them; so basically eight paragraphs on a band I hate. Urgh.
I can not wait to start studying The Shins, because then I will be, like, an expert on every song. And I will like it all.
Wooh… long comment…
when you have to right stuff, criticise every single thing. insult them a couple times, itll so piss him off. which isnt always a good thing, but i hate when people think that their opinion on music is the shit you know? sorry, i might cuss a little. its been a habit lately. but at the end, do some major sucking up or something, be like…………… “But this is my opinion. With the way I have adjusted to the music I like, it may be hard for me to except something different. Other than that, The Cult totaly rocks!” i would do that, but i suggest you dont. i dont want you to get a bad grade or get in trouble or anything. thats just one thing that pisses me off. like, i like Evanescnce. some people dont. sometimes i get a little defensive, as most people do when they really like some music, but i try to just shut up and listen to the other persons opinion and be open about them. UGH!! i just hate people like that!
sorry, out burst.
i LOVE the smell of winter. kind of…. minty almost. dry, sharp, like a frozen autumn, winter is awsome. besides, i love the way it looks when it starts to snow. all gray and cloudy, and then the first big white snowflakes come down. same for when it rains. perfect kissing scene for me. its all gray and everything, kind of dark, rain starts to come down, then harder, then harder, then its pelting your skin, and then your kissing dream guy (or girl if you swing that way, or if your a guy, but i think its all girls here) and the moment is PERFECT!!!! its beautiful the way i imagine it………………..
LOVE!!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
(im all happy, i just talked to someone i met online for the first time on the phone. i know not exactly safe, but weve been talking online for a couple months. hes got a nice voice. ill shut up now. *dreamy face takes over*)
oooo, and in my comment before i said “what does summer smell like?” i know what summer smells like to me, i wanted to know your opinion. i didnt want to confuse anyone and have them thinking i live in antarctica or something
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
Kooks concert in exactly one month!!
Sorry…
I know it’s still April and all, but when does everyone get out of school this year? I’m getting out June 18th, which is a huge difference (in my opinion) from last year when we got out the 25th. That was just insane. >.< And too hot.
id be excited too. especially if i was going to evanescence. then i wouldnt shut up. so go ahead and put a count down in your posts if you want to.
i think we get out june 5th maybe??? i dont know im guessing. it would have been june 3rd i think, but we got snow days. i dont know.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
We had one snow day this year. So only one day added on, making the last day of school the 18th. And so now graduation is on my mom’s birthday, haha.
I’m quite angry because the end of the year dance is May 9th, and I have to miss it. I’m going on some strange camping trip (?) after school that day, so I can’t go! And we were going to get The Wombats played and the Kooks and… good music. D: I was looking forward to it. A lot. And now I can’t go.
ooo that sucks.
every year we get seven or so days for snow closings, and if we go over we have to make them up.
i have to go, i got in trouble (and i admit i was wrong, if you want to know read my post in the extras thread)and dont have time to say anything other than watch you back on that strange camping trip. i hate camping……….
LOVE! http://www.twloha.com
Kati your still Kool and crazy in a good way you life you post on hear is awsome call me so uncoll I’m probley a year or two yonger than you but you have the potencial to writ a story obut the life of a targeted teen 🙂 I love camping
Ah, I’m sorry, Katie! That sounds like… completely sucky. Not the meeting the guy part, but getting caught and all. I hope it all works out in the end.
I luv all ur books scott!
it does suck. but im finding ways around it. but he did just hurt himself badly and all i want to do is hug him and i cant. so mad making. i just want to hug him….. whats so wrong here????????? its my life let me live it! (last comment aimed at parents who dont want me to see codie)
how old are you kirsten-chan???? if you dont want to say, you dont have to. im 14.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
I’m not allowed to date. Though apparently I can go on “group dates” or something.
Which, of course, I did not know when someone happened to ask me out. So now he thinks I am just really bad at coming up with excuses or something. And you can not exactly go up to someone a month after they ask you out and say “Oh, by the way. I am allowed to go on a date with you if other people are there, too.”
Because that would be slightly… weird.
Oh well.
yeah im not allowed to date either. but its my life, ill live it the way i want to. its not like hes dating me for sex or anything, he knows that im new to all this, and hes okay with it. hes older than me. when he gave me my first kiss he wouldnt go further because it was still so new. he didnt want to push it. he so sweet.
sorry. ranting. didnt mean to. i just talk about him a lot. i think about him so much its insane. i know how bella felt in twilight.
LOVE!!! http://www.twaloha.com
wow, i’ve been gone a while. yeah, sorry.
random things:
yeah, in my story Lazarus Grey and The Carrion Crows was a band.
as a loser with no friends surrounded by idiots, dating isn’t a problem for me. though i really don’t know what my parents would say, i’m like an only child and it hasn’t come up.
*shrug*
i’m going to see The Racontuers in less than a month!
my last day of school is Friday June 13th, which is totally good luck, in my opinion.
our unused snow day made memorial weekend longer.
i haven’t gotten a real haircut since the third grade (and i’m a freshman in high school now).
i cut my own hair when it gets too long. with scissors.
though i warn, kids, DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME.
though i’ve never had any horrible experiences with home haircuts. i know many people who have.
i dye my own hair too. that’s the only way it’s hardcore.
in fact…i should die it again.
it smells like summer here. also known as pollen. and i’m getting kicked off the computer because i shouldn’t waste a “beautiful day”.
choke.
See, for this Haircut Strike I tried to convince my mom to let me cut my own hair. But she freaked out and wouldn’t let me. Now whenever we walk/drive past a barber shope/hair salon/anything, she will bring up how I should get my hair cut soon.
Which is not going to happen. XP
So I will just have to wait to hear from my fellow haircut striker to see if it will be agreed upon that I can trim my hair. (Because isn’t that supposed to make your hair grow faster anyways? Right?)
Ha, yeah I just recently got my haircut, and it doesn’t look bad, but I hate getting it cut. My Mom made me. But I take pride in the fact that I’m thirteen years old and threw a major tantrum over it. Yep.
yeah, trims are supposed to make your hair grow faster. i dont believe it though. its just too funny to believe. lol.
my hair’s getting long again. i had cut it to about shoulder length, now its right above my mid back. its was a little below my mid back before. i want to dye it red or black, but im not allowed, but i think im going to grow it out again.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Ah. yesterday I got the Los Campesinos! album.
And so today I went to this weird meeting for picking music for the school dance, and my friends and I brought in Los Campesinos!, The Kooks, and The Wombats (and also Spoon, Guster, Electric Six, and Modest Mouse, but we didn’t get a chance to play those…). And they’re going to play some of it at the dance (that I’m not going to)! I see it as doing everyone else a favor so they don’t have to listen to rap the entire night. Haha.
My hair is so long now that I have to wear hair clips. Jeez. O_O
HaHa, *giggles* I hate rap….*gag me*
I can see that maybe it is possible to dance to a few rap songs out there — but the majority? No.
The other kids at the meeting, though, were very into rap. And the teacher with us told them that we couldn’t pick any more rap. But they still voted that the music I brought shouldn’t be played.
I think they have something against lyrics that are intelligent and people who can play instruments… maybe they have something against choruses? I don’t know. But they all voted no on this one LC song that is, um, the most dancey song around (or whatever) because it “wasn’t danceable” and they “didn’t like the song.”
Who cares if they didn’t like it? I voted yes for songs that I didn’t like — but I took into consideration that you would be able to dance to them, so it was fine by me that they were played! These other kids just made up idiotic (and obviously incorrect) excuses not to play good songs.
Oh well. I’m ranting, so I’ll stop now…
If you wanted to know, this dancey song is “Death to Los Campesinos!” by Los Campesinos! (Yes, the exclamation does get annoying after a while, doesn’t it? Ish?)
I’ll stop now…
I try to avoid dances. Not my favorite thing in the world. Or second favorite. Or third, yeah I won’t go on…but yeah I think rap is like a rebellion against like actual…words. I seriously would like to understand what I’m listening to…But then again, with some of the things they say, it might be best that I can’t make out the words…
yes. they are against one thing. intelligent lyrics that actually mean something! all you have to hear is the first damn word to know its about sex. theres no cryptic lyrics to make the listener think about the intentions behind the song, and what the song might mean. i dont even consider rap as music. you have to sing to have lyrics, and the only thing they do is talk fast into a microphone like a damn auctioneer! (sorry for my language, this kind of thing really gets me hyped up!) put it this way, this is a part of a song called lies by evanescence with some other guy singing a duet with amy lee, “through my tears breaks a blinding light, berthing a dawn to this endless night, arms out stretched awaiting me, an open embrace upon a bleeding tree.” the lyrics are beautiful, (and here is my favorite two parts of the song “rest in me and ill comfort you, i have lived and i died for you, abide in me and i vow to you, i will never forsake you.” “theyll never see, ill never be ill struggle on and on to feed this hunger burning deep inside of me” i think the lyrics are beautiful. they go in order just like that in the song too.)
and then you have rap lyrics (i have to look up the damn lyrics cause i cant tell what they are actually saying) something like….
“Soulja Boy Off In This Hoe
Watch Me Crank It
Watch Me Roll
Watch Me Crank Dat Soulja Boy
Then Super Man Dat Hoe
Now Watch Me Do
(Crank Dat Soulja Boy)
Now Watch Me Do
(Crank Dat Soulja Boy)
Now Watch Me Do
(Crank Dat Soulja Boy)
Now Watch Me Do
(Crank Dat Soulja Boy) ”
every single lyric is a bout sex. and i think its terrible. seriously, spell soldier right, then try THAT and “now watch me do” what the frack, i have bad grammer but not like that.
this is something else that this kid at school told me. his nickname at school is sails by the way, thats what we usually refer to him as.
in his neighborhood, they kind of split off into groups. the kids who stay inside, the want to be a gangster (who carry around basketballs every where) and them him and his friends, the skaters, generally carrying around skate boards. now whenever a cop car rolls by, and sees something vandelized, take one guess as to who they are quick to think vandelizes it? they think the skaters. you know who it really is? them damn want to be gangster idiots carrying around basket balls. and i quote this next one from sails mouth, “if we carried aroind basket balls all the time theyd say *insert a swated hand her* ‘eh, youre good, go ahead'”
now IM the one that ranted. sorry about that.
and a similar situation to your school dance has just occured at my school. we got them idiots to stary from rap, but now im stuck with, immature, imma take a risky pic even though i work on disney and kids idolize me, hannah montana. or miley cyrus, i really dont know the difference between the two. and i really dont need to.
BYES!!!!
LOVE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Exclamation points never get old.
yeah, i haven’t been to a school dance in years. not my scene.
trims make your hair grow faster because then it doesn’t go all split-endy and the new ends grow better. i’ve got long hair. i know these things. right now, my hair’s middle-bottom-back length, basically.
but i can seriously sympathize to the rap fascists. i mean, i’ve nothing against “rap”, or whatever, but it’s mainly the popular crap (i mean, i know people who seriously listen to Britney and Miley Cyrus and stuff) that gets to me.
like, in gym class, we go to the weight room. and they let people bring thier iPods. so we were subjected to high volume suck of every flavor.
hell on earth.
and the one day there was a half-decent dude’s iPod on, and it was like The Police and Foo Fighters and all, and that was okay.
and i hear girls the next day whining about how it was the worst experience of thier life.
and i’m like, dude, get a little tolerance. i have the least tolerance for sucky music of everyone, but i put up with yours every day. deal with mine for a little while. you get your way every day. deal.
same drama happens with art room radio.
as in, change the station, Lithium by Nirvana’s playing.
“Why do we have to listen to *ROCK*?”
man, i wish i recorded that because the chick’s tone was so hilarious.
also, i saw a Kooks video on Steven’s Untitled Rock show today and now the song’s stuck in my head. which is why i’m listening to it right now, actually. it’s making me wish i had thier album, but the library doesn’t have it. *shrug*
so…that’s some sheepskin jacket, eh?
man i need to get more sleep. see you all.
wow that was long.
The only music on my iPod is from The Alll-American Rejects(1 song), Barlow Girl(1 song) Blink 182 (again 1 song) Carrie Underwood (3 songs) Colbie Caillat (2 songs) Daniel Powter (1 song) Duran Duran (1 song) FOB (3 songs) Good Charlotte(1 song) Isabelle Boulay(she’s a French singer, 2 songs) Leona Lewis ( 1 song) Linkin Park (2 songs) Beethoven(1 symphony) One Republic (2 songs) Panic at the Disco (1 song) Paramore (2 songs) Plain White Ts (4 songs) Sara Bareilles (1 song)Superchick(4 songs) Taylor Swift (7 songs) 3 doors down (2 songs) Ya, I just figured out how to work the freaking thing like a couple weeks ago and I got it in October ya I know sad, pathetic, the whole nine yards. I’d break the freaking iPod and like throw it from a moving train before I let somebody put Brittney Spears on it. *Gags*
ive got evanescence, the birthday massacre, i:scintilla, against the fire, fall out boy, my chemical romance, and one song of hatebreed, i need more of that. i hate messing with my ipod.
LOVE! http://www.twloha.com
“so…that’s some sheepskin jacket, eh?”
I think it’s quite becoming on him, hahahaha. Their albums are basically amazing, really. Inside In/Inside Out is better than Konk… but if you look at Konk as being pure awesome, then it only means that II/IO is more than pure awesome, so both are absolutely brilliant.
I don’t like their new bassist, though.
Ooookay… that was a little fan-girly.
They didn’t play any of the music I put in at the dance. I wasn’t there, but people have told me that it wasn’t played.
They did, however, have the nerve to write the “appropriate” track numbers ON THE CD.
If it had been the CD CASE, whatever. But the CD? kljsio;awrjkgjkawrjaklwrhjawkrg
I was really angry when they gave it back to me. >.<
By the end of this week I’m supposed to be living in 90 degree weather. O_O I am scared.
Oh.
I was also going to say that while I don’t like Nirvana, I would certainly prefer Kurt Cobain over Britney Spears.
I think any sane person would.
“sane” being the key word here.
also, if people wrote on my CDs i would have thier HEADS for it.
and i’ve no idea why but i hate OneRepublic to an irrational degree. for no apparent reason.
i’ve got a bunch of bands on my iPod, and it would take far too long to list them. suffice it to say that none of them are Britney Spears.
eeewwww, 90 degrees. it got up to 70 here today, which was sad after yesterday’s comfortable 50.
i’m still wearing a long sleeve shirt though. and i was wearing a sweatshirt.
no one can make me dress weather appropriately! NO ONE!
and remember capt. cockatiel. nothing wrong with being fan-girly sometimes. sometimes, that is what the world requires.
yeah, i continue my quest to scour the library county system for a copy. one day i shall succeed. soon.
ha ha….sheepskin jacket…..
I’m obsessed with The Bird and the Worm from The Used right now. Its so…messed up…
that had the video with him getting stabbed or something, right?
Hmmm….am I the only one that HATES Chris Brown? Srsly, I can NOT STAND any of his songs, just Ughhh!
I really don’t think I even know who Chris Brown is…
Hmm.
Currently my friends and I are trying to convince our parents that two concerts in a week isn’t “too many” and that if we go to a club in the city there won’t be a drive-by. Los Campesinos! are playing ONE SHOW in Seattle and we all want to go… I think my brother is trying to get his girlfriend to agree to go with us, because then we might have more of a chance.
Or something.
Oh, life. So full of weirdness.
ONE SHOW!!!!!! i have no clue who those people are and i id be excited if you got to go. them are hard to go to sometimes.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
It’s really hard to see bands anyway, but when they’re from Wales I would think it would be harder.
But maybe that’s just my thought process…
wow, i was thinking that just today. (about Chris Brown)
it was funny, we had this art project, and me and this other girl both used song lyrics as part.
except hers were Chris Brown and mine were Death Cab For Cutie, The Clash, The Raconteurs, and a little Arctic Monkeys.
this is why i don’t get along with a lot of people in my school.
also, no such thing as too many concerts in one week! see, this is the part where my life is awesome—one, it’s about half an hour to NYC, so pretty much any band i want to see is almost inevitably gonna play a show in my area, and two, my parents get it.
seriously, i went to my first concert when i was 18 months old. before i could talk.
and my parents are way cool with concert stuff and ect. which is fun.
downside, they always come, but i don’t got no cool friends with decent taste/older siblings so it’s really the only option.
wow, i’m raving today. and now i sleep.
You would think that I, living about thirty minutes from Seattle, would not only KNOW about concerts I want to go to in the city, but would be allowed to go.
But my parents refuse to ever take me to a concert — so far I have gone to concerts with my best friends’ parents, but not my own. And I don’t know why they’re so opposed to my music, either. Jeez. I could be subjecting them to worse things than some indie rock.
So many worse things… so, so many…
And Seattle generally gets a lot of good bands stopping by on their way to Canada and Oregon! And I miss them all…
what concert did you go to when you were 18 months old?
ive only been to two concerts. fall out boy and against the fire. my boyfriend wants me to go to hatebreed with him, but my parents will never let me, and im saving up for evanescence.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
I feel so deprived. I’ve never been to any decent concert, the rentals say its too loud. But that just an excuse, if they wanted to go, they would. FOB rocks, but I don’t see why everyone thinks Pete Wentz is hot. Ick.
Mmm. My sincerest apologies if anyone has mentioned, guessed, this yet.. But I couldn’t read all of the comments. I’m not near that patient. But in referance to the 5th comment, by Ambereyes…
Does Alana Ray have a form of Synesthesia?
Cause that would explain the “seeing music.”
I do it too.
So I was wondering.
Cause that would be amazing, if it was a little more… Known of, you know?
Scott?
I demand more books.
In a completely, innocent.. And polite way, of course.
sorry, he doesn’t seem to check these long threads much anymore.
but at the signing i went to once he mentioned that Alana Ray’s “seeing” was a form of synesthesia, so yes.
yeah, when i was 18 months old my parents took me to see the Grateful Dead. i’ve been to a lot of concerts, which would probably take forever to list and i’d be missing a lot anyway. saw FOB in December though. going to see The Raconteurs in two weeks. going to see the Swell Season for my mom’s birthday on Monday. going to see Foo Fighters in July.
yeah….i don’t usually go to this many concerts in a short time….
and i’ve probably permenantly damaged my hearing, but what the heck? only live once.
*turns up volume on iPod*
plus, live music is life.
i’ve had debates with my friends over what’s worse—parents with crappy taste in music, or parents who sing along off-key with the wrong words to your music.
the jury is still out.
I went to see a bunch of bands in December — it was a big Christmas concert thinger. Modest Mouse, The Kooks, Spoon. Yeah… those were the only good bands there. (I was utterly repulsed by Coheed and Cambria, who remind me too much of Metallica. Which is never good.)
I would have to say that parents who sing the wrong lyrics to your music is worse.
I am very opposed to people thinking Pete Wentz is hot. First of all, I don’t understand it. He is not, in my opinion, very good looking. Second of all, my mother says that I look like Pete Wentz which is so, so wrong. (I swear, I do not. No girl could ever look like Pete Wentz. Ew.)
yeah, i dont think hes that smexy either. if he floats your boat, more water to ya, but in my opinion, he sinks it.
seriously, ive seen coheed and cambria ALL OVER vf, but i dont think ive ever heard them.
the beginning people have somewhat dwindled havent they? the only people that have been on this thread for more than a year is *copy and paste* capt. cockatiel and i. i kind of miss em! i still talk to demensiona, what happened to allichie? but i like the people now too. we talk about music!
and a lot of people say that music is their life, but i have to say, it soundtracks my life. im constantly listening to something that describes me in the current moment. right now its Lies, taking over me, my last breath- all evanescence, and capsella-i:scintilla.
and all will soon make me go deaf.

My mom will always come into my room when I’m reading. And I’ll have music on, and she freaks out because she doesn’t understand how people can read with music on… I can do anything with music on, to be honest. I’d prefer it.
I’m listening to “This Is How You Spell ‘HAHAHA, We Destroyed the Hopes and Dreams of a Generation of Faux-Romantics'” (I am dead serious, that is the title of the song) at the moment. I love it so, so much. It cracks me up. XP
I think I really might get to go to the concert now! Because my older brother asked his girlfriend to check out the band, and she likes them. So she wants to go to the concert — which basically is “parental supervision” (but not really, ha) so I may be allowed to go. And maybe my friends, too. So now I’m super excited because the tickets are practically nothing.
I miss the others, too! This thread has good memories, to be honest. (: I always feel like I don’t fit in to the newer blog comments… which is most likely due to me getting into a huge debate about the Golden Compass. I think that put me on some peoples’ bad sides or something. Woops. >.> Oh well.
And I desperately do not recommend Coheed and Cambria. In my opinion, they are atrocious and should not be permitted to play anywhere because they are not musicians — they are people with really big, shaggy, gross hair who hold guitars and strum randomly while screaming.
Anyways.
Oh My Gosh, I always read with music on….seriously it drowns out my brother’s obnoxious voice so I can actually pay attention….shocker…..
i think of this thread as a freaking second home! like now when were talking about music, some forums and threads i go on at other websites, speaking my interests can sometimes get me chewed out. seriously, just for liking something someone else doesnt? but i know ive done it to somepeople, so im not totaly innocent here, but at least i admit it, they act like innocent angels. this one chick that i talked to on meez seriously said she was going to report me because i liked something she didnt. i was like, petty much?
strange people……….. but i guess we all are.
why cant your brother take you to the concert? but thats awsome! i was going to save up for evanescence, but they arent even touring for a while, so i just blew all my money on a cell phone. its an env or whatever way youre supposed to spell that. im so excited, why im upstairs writting mah stories, i can be on aim!
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
My brother doesn’t drive and he doesn’t like the band. So.
Reporting you for liking something she didn’t? That is just… wow. I’m on the nerdfighters forums a lot, but I still really like it here. It’s kind of like, the less people you have, the less likely you will get someone who will be all “You should like this, because if you don’t you’re stupid” etc. I dunno. Seems that way to me. *shrugs* There are lots of fights on the NF forums, so yeah.
Yay for getting a phone! That’s jokes — I’ve never had a cell phone.
And now I have been told to get off the computer so I can go and bring my brother to his girlfriend’s house so they can go to Prom. Spiff.
this is probably my favorite thread on Westerblog, because it’s talking about music! and because we all respect each other’s taste in music, which means no flame wars. flame wars are no fun.
yeah, i don’t go on the main threads so much anymore cuz they’re so off-topic. i’ll comment like, once, about the actual post, and maybe a couple times later, but at some point it’s just random people not even talking about the books so i don’t really get involved.
yeah, my school’s prom was this weekend. it was hilarious, because all the juniors and seniors left at 12:30, so the school was almost empty.
i can’t do ANYTHING without music. i listen to music when i get up, then during english class (shh…don’t tell), then at lunch (hey, all my friends have a different lunch period than me), then after school (in only one ear while hanging out with my friends), then while walking home, then after school while i’m on the internet or writing, unless i’m watching fuse, and sometimes when i’m going to sleep.
silence annoys me. i like loudness. SILENCE KILLS.
hey, random question but i was thinking about this yesterday. can you guys read in the car? i can, but it seems like other people freak out about that. for me, reading in a moving vehicle isn’t a big deal. you guys?
Pete Wentz=not hot. no one who dates Ashlee Simpson is hot. it’s just impossible.
and i dunno, i don’t like Coheed but on some level you’ve got to admire the lead singer’s giant hairdo.
also, i went to the record store on friday (yes, i support indepedents. independent record stores for the win!). they had like one copy of Inside In/Inside Out in a tiny cardboard box of “Misc. K”, and none of Konk, which i was looking for.
🙁
then i went to the other not-chain record store, where they said they’d sold out their two copies, but i wasn’t going to order it from them because i like the other store much, much better.
and i don’t really want to go to borders cuz for a person who doesn’t actually pay for that much music, i don’t want to buy from megastores. and fye (which is still sort of mega-store-y) is in the mall, and i don’t want to go there.
so that song is STILL stuck in my head and i can’t get it out.
eww, i’m sick. i can’t breathe and my head hurts and my throat aches. i’m gonna go take a shower now and then sit on the couch and watch Buffy in a coma.
i always seem to watch mass marathons of Buffy when i’m sick.
…which led to this really wierd hallucinatey vampire-filled fever dreams that time when i had a 104 degree temperature in January.
my god that was longer than i expected.
Okay seriously, I’m like addicted to the song Numb by Linkin Park now….I keep listening to it over and over and over again. But that’s okay cuz it ROX! Hmmm….I read in the car all the time, but like if the road’s really bumpy then it might give me a headache but rarely….I always need noise like constantly. Even when I go to bed I’ve got either the tv or music blasting to help me fall asleep. OH MY GOSH I have like the WORST sunburn ever! OWWWWW!!!! Hope you feel better Sera-la.
yeah, now i’m making all these really complex mixes with cover art and burning lots of CDs. i deal with sickness in strange ways.
even though i do read in the car, i get nauseous if i look up at the road a lot.
ha! the novelty of Firefox having a spell-checker has still not worn off.
hola!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buenas Noches!
Buenas Tardes!
I can read in car if I don’t look up too much. But I have to start out the drive reading or I’ll start to get sick.
I like silence. I usually just listen to music in my room because everyone in my family detests the stuff I listen to… I don’t know why though.
Serafina Zane: That sucks about not being able to find Konk! I got it the day it came out, so I didn’t have any trouble. “Always Where I Need to Be” is one of the best songs off the entire album, in my opinion.
And as for Coheed — I will never be envious of such nasty, nasty hair. (How does he WASH it?!)
wwwwwooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
HaHaHa! Lol!
wuts up Tally & Zane?
Nonthing much? Just major sunburn, listening to music, and hanging out, how bout you?
Oops, I meant nothing. *spelling*
Nothin much here either. Don’t feel so hot though! *headache* other than that just peachy! lol Sunburns suck…
Ya…feel better….
i think im just sleepy……
Yeah…..I got yelled at for reading in class again. Sheesh! It’s not like I don’t already know what they’re teaching and finished my assignments….Darn my inability to being sneaky….
same here i get in TROUBLE all the time for reading!!!
Yeah….I never get in actual trouble…I talk my way out of it.
heyy! wats up guys!!
hehe i get my book taken away! totally unfawesome!
The Sky…..and my brother’s socks. He ducktaped them to the ceiling.
Yeah, well they say that students don’t read enough so then we read and get told not to, am I the only one recieving mixed signals here? (LoL!)
lol….. hey i gots 2 go eat pizza be on 2morrow tough! cya ppls…
though not tough
adios
Capt. Cockatiel: obviously he doesn’t.
yeah, my epic quest to get that album/song continues!
….as soon as i get some energy.
i’m home sick! and writing long rambling LJ entries!
hey to all rex-la is BACK!
Soooo, what be up peoples?
wow, its been a few days since ive been here. what have you all been up to?
104 degree temperature? wow…. ive never been over 100. ive never had vampire dreams. i wish i did. the scariest ones ive ever had, which come quite often, is im in the middle of a hot desert that is sunny and dry and cracked (ugly in all sense of the term to me) all alone with one small, gravestone in front of me, and it has someone im closest to at the time on it, and then i usually go to having everyone in my family getting murdered. that whole concept actually scares me, being alone…..
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
OMG….I love all of his books…this one especially i love love love Zahler and Moz….I totally flinched when Moz destroyed the guitar..I loved the ending i love pearl…i kinda secretly hated Minerva but loved her at the same time..is that weird? My BFF borrowed the book and she loved it…I love all of his books…What ever did happen to the parents..i love when Pearl stuck her MP3 player in her cleavage…I know say “yummy” and “smelly” like Minerva………………..POINT: I LOVE SCOTT’S BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
eh, my vampire fever dream was FREAKY. not fun at all. thought i was evil or something. very disturbing.
right now it’s only 60 degrees, been a cold May so far, unnaturally show. usually gets over 100 in summer at least once around here though…
yeah, i never liked Min much, personally. Pearl = much cooler.
Dude Sera-la you are so lucky, it’s been super hot here! Ugh, like in the 100s….
its been 70s here!
We’ve had 80s a few days, but then back to 70s. It’s been raining for most of this week, though.
The Kooks in three days and Los Campesinos! in nine… (: I am sososo excited.
This Sunday my friends and I are making a music video for extra credit in our rock history class. We’re doing “Mine’s Not a High Horse” by the Shins and, in my opinion, it is going to be super jokes. (And this is the sort of music video with a plot, not us, like… dancing around… Um.)
Four day weekend! (Actually, for me it’s more like five since I’m coming back from Portland on Tuesday and not going to school.) Sleep will be nice for once. XP
so not fair…. come get me take me with u. i begg u! lol
Hey, I’m doing this project for History and it’s supposed to be on a power point thing, so I bought this flash drive and it’s like not working….is power point a seperate program you have to buy?… I’m like one step away from being computer illiterate….
wait, a flash drive doesnt give you power point. flash carry documents from one computer to the othewr. so power point is another program you have to buy.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
yea its another program….. i hate powerpoints!
If you have Windows (what am I talking about? Don’t you have to have Windows to use PowerPoint? Whatever) you don’t have to buy PowerPoint. It comes with the computer program… I think it’s under “Microsoft Office” once you go to “all programs” on the start menu. >.>
But yeah, flash drives just store files so you can have them on any computer. I have, um, two of them. One for movie crap and one for everything else. XD So when you save a file you save it to the USB, not to your documents folder.
Okay, thanks….I had to just print out the project anyway cuz when I went to open up the little flash drive thing it wouldn’t open. So I go ask my Dad to help me, and he had the bright idea of using plyers…you can guess how that worked out….
Dads and their tools!!!!
Totally….
why does everyone hav to die!? i hate it! *crys* first its my sister then my best friend! i just found out today ..she died in the car wit her mom..and she was my friend since preskool! i miss her and my sister! why!? why cant i just die right now! i hate this! i ahte my life! *sniff,sniff* we were saving our money for a ranch and we were going to live on it wit our husbands and our hroses..but now its never gonna happen! why does everyone hav to die! why!
i wanna die right now! then mabey i can see the people i love..
i dont think ill ever be able to love anyone like i did..
*crys hard and long* i so sad and alone…i want someone to hang on to but now i dont think that will ever happen
bye bye people i dont think im gonna come bak for a while i need time to think and be sad..mabey when im feeling better ill come bak..
bye bye 4 now i hope..
oh bullcrap
I’m not so sure that I’m able to believe all that…….but on the off chance that it’s true(unlikely), I sympathize for you, I know how you feel….my Uncle just had a heart attack because His main arteries were blocked with something and had to undergo surgery recently…but he’s not going to make it, because the doctors screwed up and punctured an artery or something like that, and so they had to stop the bleeding before he bled to death, so they put him into a medically induced comatose stage, but he’s not coming out of it, and there’s nothing they can do. Cuz right now he’s only alive because of he’s on life support. I’m not asking for sympathy or pity, but just know meghan-la that you’re not the only one going through crap right now. Lots of people are dieing every second, and it hurts. We’re in a world that is constantly screwing with our emotions and minds, so I’d say get used to it, but it’s not something you can get used to. So, when something bad happens, think about the major hell other people are going through and know you’re not alone. Think about the peole in Iraq and Afghanistan, the soldiers, the citizens, they live their lives not knowing whether or not they are going to die that day from an explosion or gunshot, think of the people in third world countries that don’t know the things that we know, don’t get to live the way we live, we worry about what we are gonna do with our friends tomorrow, they worry about whether or not they’re going to get to eat that day. Even think about the people in your town or city that are struggling, the ones that you pass by everyday on the streets, the ones that need help and we turn away, think about what’s going on around you in a wider view and maybe you won’t feel so alone. Take life one day at a time. That’s my two cents on the matter.
Sorry for the long post, just had to get that in…
intense, T&Z-la, intense.
yeah, i’m on four day weekend vacation too.
The Raconteurs in one week!
Well if it gets my point across…*shrugs* I only get a three day weekend but next week is my last week.
hey, intense is a good thing. and definitly gets that point across.
we usually have a three day weekend, but we didn’t use one of our snow days, so that’s where they add the extra day in.
and we’ve still got 13 days left, don’t get out til the 13th.
so, guess who finally got a copy of Konk?
well obviously the answer’s me.
pretty hilarious moment at the soon-to-be-closed Coconut’s.
see, this goth guy’s working the counter, and we go up to pay for the CD, and he rings it up, but it’s on sale, so we mention the sale price.
and my dad goes: you know, really, your pricing system is confusing.
because it was, as the same exact Franz Ferdinand album had four different copies of the same edition, same medium, right next to each other, all new, one marked 37 dollars, another 22 dollars, and the other 10 dollars.
and the salesguy just shrugs and says: New world order.
so that is now my excuse/explination for anything and everything.
Yay for getting Konk! (Seriously, does “Do You Wanna” not have the most catchy melody and the most amazing guitar ever? XP)
I get out on the 18th. (Would have been the 17th, but we had a snow day.) But it is much better than last year when we got out on the 25th or something. That was stupid. >.>
I’ve never once in my life had a snow day. Never. I feel so deprived.
Tally & Zane, my thoughts completely. but for some, thinking about those things makes it worse. whenever i think about those things i feel stupid for being depressed over something when someone else out there has it way worse than i do. we just need to be here for each other. and help each other carry their weight of the world.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
after the recent posts, would anyone like to write love on our arms as a reminder of the people who need us? if so, post a date thats good for you, i dont want to get anyone in trouble at school or anything.
Freedom of Expression. They can’t get me in trouble at school for supporting it. I’d say Monday but we have no school cuz it’s memorial day, so Tuesday?
i can live with tuesday. i might get in trouble if i get caught. but seriously, its the end of the year. who cares?
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
Really? I wouldn’t get in trouble, in fact I know a couple teachers that would actually want to do it! It’s a good cause.
Wut r u guys doing?
oh never mind just read the post… can i do it?
Duh
Okay, I hate that word. Duh….it’s not even a real word!!!! Ah! I refuse to use it from now on.
uhuh!!!! lol
sure…
we are going to write LOVE on our arms to support people going through rough times. to learn more, visit http://www.twloha.com the link is at the bottom of all my posts. and anyone can do this.
the teachers at my school are prudes beyond belief. they dont care wether its for a good cause not.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
yeah, last year we didn’t get out til the 20th. no fun.
and yeah, that would be some pretty catchy melody. i like the bass on Stormy Weather too.
wow, no snow days. where do you live? we generally get at least one a year. or else there’s a flood….
hmmm, i would do that, but i’ve got no school Tuesday, so not many people would notice. might do it anyway.
eeewww, prudish teachers. *shakes head* no fun at all.
my teachers dont care what i write on myself………..
yeah, mine either wouldn’t notice or wouldn’t care.
then again, i do not have the most observant teachers on the planet.
if they can’t tell i’ve got headphones in while talking to them, i doubt they’ll notice anything else.
lol. if i had headphones in while talking to them, id have a not so comfy seat under the glare of a not so nice principal, getting a not so nice lecture, while waiting for my parents to get there to get a similar lecture. okay, it might not go that far, but it would if i refused to take them off. which i wouldnt, because then theyd confiscate my ipod and i wouldnt get it back for a long time….. *gasps* thats torture!
which im about ready to go torture yself. i need to go talk my parents into letting me see my boyfriend. they hate him, its our one month, and i havent seen him in two weeks. if you hear some yelling that sounds like thunder, think about where its coming from.
LOVE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
I’m a freaking awesome spy so if I told you where I lived I’d have to kill you. No, jk…but there’s just no snow ever.
man we had a freakin ice storm 2 months ago…….. so not fair. its 80s 2day!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh, the sun hates me.
the sun kills my eyes
i hate the sun. i hate the heat. i love the gray/black. i love winter. i miss winter. i miss the grey/blackness of it all. *cries* i love winter. it smells the best, and it doesnt look ugly like summer. its pretty and clear.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com so did we pick a day? tues?
It burns me extremely badly….I have stupid freaking light skin like a freaking Cullen for goodness sakes….sheesh, I’m completely serious, I can’t go outside for more than ten minutes without getting burned like heck.
i hate summer. stupid weather.
much more of a winter person.
layers, layers layers. they are my friend.
then again, it’s around 70-something degrees here and i’m wearing a shirt with long (actually 3/4ish) sleeves, and a flannel shirt over that.
so, okay, i defy the weather and wear layers anyway.
but i still like when it cooperates.
and i guess i would’ve gotten punished if i got caught with the headphones, but the teacher i’m talking to/whose class i’m in usually doesn’t even notice.
i would DIE if my mp3 player got confiscated.
seriously, it’s insane how much time i spend listening to music every day. like, for instance, right now.
Ya, I think tuesday. Hmmm….I don’t like it when it’s super cold like in winter and I don’t like it when it’s super hot like in summer. My favorite is when it’s still in between like winter and spring, sort of transitioning, so it’s cold and wet, cuz I like rain, and you can actually breathe.
i like summer just not the supper hotness and i hate the clothers i luv layers……. i burn so easy. im like the color of a marshmellow! yea r we still doing the thing 2morrow> LOVE!!!
Cullens at heart.
did u guys do it? I wrote LOVE on my arm!
yeah, im the whitest in my grade, unless you count chandler. i swear, sun passes through that kid like glass……… i actually have to work at NOT getting tan because im outside practicinf fouettes all the time. and i hate tans. fake mexicans…….. i wish i was a cullen, their skin sounds so beautiful…. and clear….. and perfect!
i wrote love on my arm, but no one noticed. i think they expect it from me now…….. but i have a small school, so it only took one day to spike the interest of the living, and brong to life the dead. as for the ones who dont care, they arent of my concern. lazy insert bad word here’s.
soooooooooooo…………
whats everyone listening to righ now? if youre not listening to something, dont go and change that by going and turning something on, say what you wish you wish/were/would be listening to right now. and if you dont like music ill give you a *gasps* youre cool anyway *insert hand swat here*
im listening to anywhere by evanescence (the usual) lol……
LOVE!!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Yep I did it. Uh…I was listening to Mozart….*This is where everyone goes *gasp!* she listens to Classical Music?! *yada yada yada…
Katie- what state u live in? I go to a small skewl with a boy named chad and he is super white.
Tally & Zane- Lol
*shrugs*
I only like piano concertos though, NOT violin Eesh! Oh gosh does that sound bug the heck outta me!
how dare u shrug at ME… lol *shrugs back with lil giggle*
DON’T YOU USE THAT TONE WITH ME! You are SO grounded! HaHa,LoL!
Gaaaaaahhhh. Monday night was the best night of my entire life! :DDDDDDD
The Kooks are absolutely BRILLIANT live. (Hugh Harris is a freaking AMAZING guitarist, oh my god.) I got basically less than an inch away from Luke — nearly touched his hand, but this jerk guy pushed me out of the way. (Why? Why does HE have to touch Luke? He had been up front THE ENTIRE TIME and it was the LAST SONG and I was finally up there! Argh!) Most of their performance (21 songs!) I was about three people away from the stage.
In line waiting to get in, Paul walked right past us and WE DIDN’T TALK TO HIM. Something is wrong with me and my friends, I swear. We had already been staring at him for a full five minutes (which he noticed…) and we didn’t SAY anything to him. So we got absolutely nothing signed, which was stupid. Because we are stupid. Oh well. (Their roadie almost ran over my foot with a suitcase, though. >.>)
To meet the band you had to buy their CDs there. So we didn’t do that, obviously, because we had their CDs with us already. What the heck. And then I realized that they also had the single for sale and we all could have bought THAT and met them.
But my God! It was amazing and didn’t end until 11:30 and everyone was dancing and singing along to every song (except this weird tall guy who stood in front of me for a while, who didn’t seem to like any music at all and never moved during the entire five hours of the concert). I was next to this one guy (actually, I ended up between two guys for practically all of the Kooks’ performance, which wa sort of weird during “Do You Wanna” because one of them kept looking over at me) who was a MAJOR fan. He was jumping up and down the entire concert, so I had to, too, or he would knock me over and I would be trampled by a stampede of girls trying to get to the front… But it was fun. This guy in front of me gave me weird looks whenever I cheered, though, which I didn’t understand. Jeez. It’s a concert — everyone is obligated to cheer and start a chorus of shouting. I mean, come on.
I really can not get over it, to be honest. And I am hoping they come to Seattle this fall because my mom said that she’d take us if they do. (:
They had one really good opening band, and one really bad one… The bad one was local and they were kind of just strange and told us that they were going to play a song about Obama. And then they said it was actually about doing drugs… and the singer fell over and didn’t get up. He just lay on the stage, still singing (read: shrieking). They did have a good bassist, which was their only redeeming factor.
The second band was from California — The Morning Benders. We actually tried to buy Kooks shirts from THEIR drummer (so we talked to one drummer, har har) and were kind of rude when he told us he wasn’t selling them. And then we felt bad, because they were a really good band.
We had to miss out on their secret show last night, though. Which was stupid. ): One of my friends had to be at school today for this medieval fair thing her class did. My mom even said that she would have let me stay another night! Gar. I still have hope that they’ll come back to Seattle, though.
*End Super Long Fangirl Moment*
And tomorrow I am going to Portland again with my school, but the Kooks will already be in Colorado…. Sad day.
Tally & Zane, wut… but thats not…… gurrrrrrrr…. lol
HaHa, Lol! Oh…My…Goodness….I have The second worst sunburn of my entire life. Only second to Fourth of July ’05, that was a bad and painful day. But Oh wow is it bad right now! I HATE the sun! I’m like oh so totally red. Ouch. Okay, rant against the sun is over…for now.
that was a pretty long fangrrl moment, indeed.
here’s mine, which is shorter. by Saturday i’ll no doubt have a longer one.
I’M GOING TO SEE THE RACONTEURS TOMMORROW AND IT’S GOING TO BE FAWESOME AND INCREDIBLE AND THEY’RE LIKE ONE OF MY TOP-THREE FAVORITE BANDS AND THE SHOW WAS SOLD OUT AND I EVEN HAVE TICKETS FOR BOTH NIGHTS, SO I MIGHT EVEN SEE THEM TWICE AND YEA SQUEE CONCERT!!!!!!!!
any-way.
song i wish i was listening to? Two Timing Touch and Broken Bones by The Hives.
on a related note…
got Tyrannosaurus Hives yesterday. it’s pretty damn great. better than Veni Vidi Vicious, i think. the Black and White Album has more variety, and some better songs, but for total not-having-to-get-up-skip-songs-osity, this one’s my favorite. only sort-of-skippable song is Diabolic Scheme, and even that is pretty great.
it makes me proud that i’ve been walking around with The Hives written across the knuckles of my left hand in Sharpie all day.
…my english class is really dull, you know. write-on-your-hands-dull.
oddly, i did not write Love on my arm, if only because i didn’t think.
i did write “haven’t you heard, jace? all the stories are true” on the back of my hand, and “my actions are dictated by the phase of the moon” on my other hand, and “two timing touch and broken bones” on my palm.
yeah. i got a lot of wierd questions about those across the day.
Yay for concerts!
I am supposedly going to Los Campesinos! tomorrow night. But I don’t think the girl who’s taking me remembers when it is. I need to call her today or something.
Also tomorrow I have an interview for a writing camp. I’m kind of freaked out, because I am not good at talking to people, least of all people I have never met. >.>
But yesterday I bought some stuff at Powell’s, so it’s all good.
i live in ohio.
LOVEE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
GOOD LUCK!
good luck with the interview, capt.cockatiel.
and the concert? FAWESOMELY INCREDIBLY FOOL. i mean really. great.
and the best part? i’m going back tonight.
*extended squee*
and the funniest thing happened today. see, it was an all-ages show, but there was a bar, right, so they mark all the underage kids with Xs on thier hands. and when we get up this morning, we go to the bakery to get some food.
and the chick working there has a sort-of faded X on her hand (much like i do) and my mom is all “wait, you didn’t go see The Raconteurs last night, by any chance?”
and she says “yeah, it was a great show! i was in the front!”
and it was really hilarious and small worldish.
i hope it rains today….

Katie, I saw a girl wearing a green TWLOHA shirt at the movies today!
ugh! i envy that chick!!!! *steels twloha shirt* all better now. lol. jk. i want a twlha shirt, but i dont have enough money to buy one, i currently have ten dollars, ugh, i wants one…… a black one would be nice……… TWLOHA!!!!!!!!!
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
one of the girls at my lunch table has a TWLOHA shirt—i’ve seen a couple of em around school.
and, predictably, it seems to have rained for the entire time i was in the city, and didn’t rain at all while i was home. ah, well.
and last night’s show? EVEN. MORE. FAWESOME.
because on Friday we were sort of in the middle/back, last night there was one person between me and the stage.
plus they played Together.
but not Yellow Sun or Five on the Five….either night….made me sad…
but the fawesome made up for it.
The concert I went to was pretty awesome. There was practically no one there to begin with, and the venue was really, really small. We were right up front, basically.
However, the second opener was SCARY. You can probably look them up online — they’re called Parenthetical Girls. The singer was scary looking on stage, but then he came down into the audience and started smacking the floor with a drumstick. He was right next to me and I was seriously terrified that he would touch me.
He was just creepy. O_O
But Los Campesinos! were awesome and they played my favorite song. So that was good. I didn’t get home until one, though. >.> LC! didn’t start until 11:30, which was bogus. But whatever.
And I think my interview went well…
That’s cool….when I have to do an interview or something I like freak out….I’m not nervous like at all, but then I get in there and I just start shaking but then I’m still not scared, just….it’s weird….either I’m really good at lying to myself or I’m just weird or a combo of both….*ponders*
I think the only weird part of my interview was when they asked me what I was reading and I told them what I’d just finished (that morning). It was a book about a pyromaniach (I so spelled that wrong, I am sorry). And the two people interviewing me where like, “Um… was that fiction or nonfiction?”
Incidentally, the book was super good. It’s “Kerosene” by Chris Wooding. He’s one of my favorite authors, and it’s one of his really early books — which are fabulous. I had to buy it because my library doesn’t have it (stupid library system). I mean, it’s only from 1998 and they can’t buy it? How dumb is that?
When I get nervous I shake uncontrollably. Last night when we were paying for parking for the concert I started to shake for absolutely no reason. >.> It usually only happens to me during formal debates and stuff. Hrm. At least that didn’t happen at my interview, haha. I was just sort of nervous about it and felt a little sick. But it’s a small camp at this old house in the city and they seemed really nice — they opened the door and knew my name and stuff, which I thought was nice. I find out on Friday if I got in (which I am really hoping for).
http://youtube.com/watch?v=VbSN3OJnUB0
That’s part of the concert, in case anyone wanted to look. (LC! is seriously and amazing band and their singer was really funny.)
cool!
oooooooo….. i want to go to a concert! they so much funnnn….. imma see whats at headliners…….
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com (yayz! twloha shirts are now back at hot topic, im going to get one this week! hopefully. if you dont know what im talking about, click the link.)
I’ve never been inside hot topic…
Chris Wooding rox. i mean, i like the Haunting of Alazibel Cray and Storm Thief more, but Kerosene was okay. i read it on a plane once.
yeah, the opening act at the concert i went to had the crappiest sound in the history of ever. i think they were playing mud. both nights.
i’ve only been in hot topic one or two times. i don’t really shop there (internet!). the most fun was taking my friend who’s really not the Hot Topic type in there and watching her squirm.
and i didn’t get back til 1 either, both nights. result of living at least half an hour to an hour away from the venue.
Yeah wow….I think I might be the last person you’d ever expect to see in Hot Topic….but yeah, hmmmm….maybe the craptastical opening music weakens people’s musical senses so the actual performers sound better than without it….*thinking*
I want to wallpaper my room with ductape. Seriously….I got a buncha colored ductape just for the heck of it, like black,blue, purple, green, pink….and I have nothing to do with it…
My favorites by Chris Wooding are Poison and Crashing. I just really like his earlier stuff… though Storm Thief is boss. The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray was the first thing I read by him… I should read it again to get its full effect, I think. (I still never look over my shoulder more than three times, seriously.)
Opening bands are so, so weird. >.<
well, there’s a reason they’re the OPENING act and not the main show.
that’s a pretty awesome idea, T&Z-la. though it would be pretty sticky if you ever wanted to take it off.
man, i need more duct tape. i think we’re almost out.
personally, i wasn’t as big a fan of Poison. it got a little too surreal towards the end. or maybe that’s just bad association cuz i read it over Thanksgiving.
never read Crashing—what’s it about?
good to know i’m not the only one who’s still paranoid about the looking-over-shoulder thing.
Ya, it was just an idea no way would my ‘rents let me…
What looking over shoulder thing?
Looking over shoulder thing: That whole story about how if you look over your shoulder more than three times that… monster thing will come and eat you or whatever? It’s in Alaizabel Cray.
Crashing is just sort of this story about a kid who is throwing a party at the end of the school year as a way to see his friends one last time before they’re all split apart… I know it sounds like it would be a lame book, but it was really good. Though very short.
I just sort of like the idea of Poison and the little themes within it. I do think Storm Thief is good, though.
Have any of you read anything by Ned Vizzini?
So I just found out that I got into the writing camp I had an interview for. :DDDD I danced around for a while. (It was also the first time I’d ever answered the phone when someone was calling for me. Weird.) I was under the impression that I was to find out the decision on Friday, so it was really surprising.
Awesome! Congrats!
I’m feeling really artsy today so I’ve got like paint and charcoal all over me and like everything else….
congratz, capt. cockatiel!
no, i haven’t read anything by him, but i think i’ve heard of him.
my hands are green with pastels.
and i got nothing else to say. i’m hungry.
Ned Vizzini is hilarious. I suggest all of his books. (There are only three of them. So.)
Gah. School is nearly over… it still hasn’t sunk in for me that next year I’m going to a new school. It’s weird. Sometimes I’ll realize it and freak out and then other times I’m like “Oh, I’ll just come back to my little school like always.” But no! I will be one person among, like, five billion other kids. (Okay, I know that’s an exaggeration, but for someone who has gone to school with only 69-89 other people all her life, a few thousand seems like way too many.) It freaks me out. A lot. And I’ll miss calling my teachers by their first names and knowing everyone in the school and… everything. Wow. As much as I am getting sick of a lot of things about my school (namely: the seventh graders and many other kids), I will miss it.
I just have to be happy that I’m not going to my Lame Neighborhood School that’s going to be under construction. Ick.
Sorry, that was long…
hmmm…my middle school was pretty big. 50ish people in my class in elementry school, than 200something in my middle school. so i didn’t really get that whole size thing.
but i am epic with the panic-about-changing school things.
*goes to search for Vizzini books*
dude, i just looked up and there was some kind of alcohol-based commercial on with The Kooks playing in the background. weird.
*returns to watching Doctor Who*
Alcohol-based?! *dies of shock* That is such a misuse of awesome music…
Yeah, we had mixed-grade classes in elementary. So there were about twenty people total in a class. I think there were about nine people in my grade.
Actually… this year, I am pretty sure that there are only about twelve-fifteen ninth graders. We are the minority at school. Huh.
It has been pouring all this week. I had to wear my rainboot yesterday. D:
Wow. My school is considered pretty small for my area cuz we had like 180 eighth graders graduating(including Moi). But the school I’m going to next year is A LOT bigger.
i know, i was surprised too. it was one of those wierd moments where it was like ‘wow, that sounds a lot like that—wait, that IS that song.’
surprised me almost as much as that Sears commercial with The Hives on it.
also, that is a tiny class. nine people? fifteen? i thought it was small when my grade had 50 people in it. and i still think my school’s pretty small, because there’s only about 200 kids in the grade now because a lot of kids went to private school.
i mean, in high school it’s different because there’s a lot of mixing of the grades, but still.
i wish it was raining. it’s really hot here. well, if it was actually raining that’d be a pain because we’re in the process of getting a new roof. but still. it’s above 90 degrees today. that is not cool.
and that pun was not intended.
ugh, i hate the heat. its so annoying. how can guys LIKE to sweat?????? i dont get it. it looked rainy here yesterday, but never actually rained. which was okay because it wasnt 90 outside, more like low 80’s and high 70’s. and ill take that all summer if i have to.
my school had (because i graduated-this year, ill be in the ninth grade in the fall) about forty kids in the whole grade. 19 were in my class. there were five girls, all of the (excuse the language) bitches. im more than happy to get out of that schoool. they were the equivalent to the girls in the movie Mean Girls (we had quite a few similar situations) the school was a hell hole. and next year im going to a private catholic highschool with all girls. no guys……….. eh, ill see them other places.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
I am so ready for tomorrow to be the last full day of classes. I am sick of being in English with seventh graders — because while I was a perfectly normal kid at 12, I feel that many of them are just annoying now. >.> Huh.
I’m getting really fed up with the library. Suite Scarlett has been out for months now, and I have had a hold on it since BEFORE it came out. For whatever reason, though, the library system doesn’t feel the need to actually, you know, get a copy of it. What the heck.
On the bright side, I did send them a non-reference question to their reference question email address asking if any libraries would want John Green to come and speak and I finally (after much more than their “24 hour response”) got a reply saying that several libraries have contacted John! YES!!
Wow… I = nerd
WHATTTT!!!! you can do that???? HOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
No clue, and I just ran like 2 miles around the park and fell and scraped up my freaking elbow! But it was fun….
how can you email the library????????? i didnt know you could do that.
ugh. i had summer school today. ugh. no worries, i didnt fail. but i probably will. i have to take health over the summer so i can have a study hall all four years. all year. my sisters homework scares me enough that i want one. ugh. i hate summer school.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
LoL, I’m not taking summer school for the mini courses so I have to take it during the year meaning I only get two electives instead of three…
im taking them during summer. and i really dont like homework during summer. its not cool.
and i broke my toe. my toe. they are insignificant uglies things anyway. and, now i have to dance with a broken toe. this kills. i tried relevette, and damn it hurt!
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
dude, i have all this memory of posting comments here than aren’t up there. wierd.
and i assume it’s some kind of contact link for somebody at the library. not that wierd.
summer homework sucks. we got our math packets today, luckily they’re short.
I can email my library… It’s supposed to be for, like, homework questions and stuff. But I abuse their brilliantly 21st Century communication skills so I don’t have to go there more than I already do. (I swear, this year I am freaking WINNING A SUMMER PRIZE if I have to be a recluse and read every minute of every day. I would go into details of the contest, but suffice it to say that I read three books, turn in a form, which then goes into a drawing, etc. Every year I have turned in SO MANY of those forms that it is IMPOSSIBLE that I could not win SOMETHING. Last year I turned in over 12, waaaay over since I read 60+ books, and I got squat. It’s rigged, I swear. It is SO rigged. Anyway.)
Today was my last day of classes. Now I have half-days (except next Tuesday, when we’re going on a big field trip to… WildWaves? Somewhere like that) until school ends. I do have my final in French on Thursday, though, which gets me out of a lame field trip. I’m just glad I don’t have to carry around textbooks anymore. >.< And after Thursday I’m excused from French all together. Gaaahhh…
Homework in summer would suck. This’ll be my first year without any since elementary school.
I still don’t believe it’s summer, though. It’s been raining for so long…
Wow, I’ve never gotten homework over the summer! I suppose I’d be considered lucky?
are you in highschool yet?????
i have some, and summer school *growls*
i want more rain. its kind of been thunderstorming. but not enough for me. id want it to thunderstorm all the time. we had one yesterday morning and the night before. but thats it. and yesterday morning cant even be classified as a thunderstorm. just looked like one.
LOVE!! http://www.twloha.com
I’m going into ninth grade in the fall, well August and I guess I don’t really consider that fall.
i always get math packets, and all my honors classes give you books to read. not a list, just a copy. this makes me sad.
we had a great thunderstorm yesterday. power getting knocked out and crazy winds and LOTS of lightning and rain and stuff. it was great. cooled down like 20 degrees.
two more days (half days, actually. when we don’t do squat.) left of school!
I have no real school tomorrow — two hours studying and then two hours of final. Then my stupid conference in which I will say “Yes, please put on my transcript letter grades, because I have passed all my classes blah blah blah…”
Today we had “classes” (I did bingo and this game where we named theme songs of old TV shows — which I won), but beforehand we had to go to homeroom (called “support group,” which I haven’t gone to all year due to French, you know, an ACTUAL class) to print out grades. As it turned out, someone in my support group isn’t coming back to our school next year, so they threw her a party. I detest my support group — the teacher is crap and I really don’t like her, and I have no friends in it at all. So during this “party” I sat in a corner, endured the bad music, and read.
All was well, and then someone decided that the whole thing would be better with no lights. Who is sitting right next to the lights, in plain view of any light-switcher-off-ers? ME. But instead of thinking to themselves ‘Gee, look, she’s reading. Better not turn off the lights!’ They go ahead and turn them all off.
What. The. Heck.
After half an hour they turned them back on, only to have someone else turn them off a few minutes later.
So I was, you know, having the time of my life and all. And then when class was over, we weren’t allowed to leave until the room was cleaned up. Being the irresponsible and idiotic people that they are, the patrons of my support group let me and the teacher clean up all the food. I hadn’t even been near the stuff.
I was, to put it in terms that don’t nearly reach the level of disgust I had, very angry.
My friends and I then met up — two of them had come in during the party (they’re in another support group) to give the teacher something — and they told me that while I had told them many stories of the Horror that is My Support Group, they had never thought it was as bad as I said it was. And they now knew the extent of the rudeness and general Evil.
Okay. I think I’m done with my rant now… Though I am mad that I have a B in math. I had an A all year, and then when I thought I was actually understanding things, I started getting Cs and Bs on tests. And all we are graded on are tests and quizzes, even though we have homework every night. So my grade went down to an 86.99 (.99?! WHAT IS THAT?!) and I am mad.
Anyways. I want summer very, very much.
wait. you actually had an a in math? you are a fricking genious. i havent gotten an a in math since fourth grade. i just recently got one on a midterm, and then i failed a test and it went down to a b. but hey, it was a c. i was proud of myself. but i had an a in english, but then we did all this grammer stuff i didnt understand, and it went down to a b. i was pissed.
im going into the 9th grade in the fall too. i cant believe you dont have summer homework. are you sure? not even a book to read?
ugh. i have to go do summer school homework…. *growls* i hate homework. school i can stand. i get why we have to go to school. but homework is just unneccisary (did not spell that right) when we get home, we throw our books in a corner and go off and read/listen to music/talk to friends/get on the computer/etc. and not do our homework till later that night. then we just want to go to bed so we bull shit our way through it and not learn a thing. it is pointless. most of us dont try too hard on it unless we really want the grade. and in the beginning of the year, i want the grade. but at the end i couldnt give a shit. im just tired.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
goodness gracious. sorry about the language in that one.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
Let it out, let it out. Ranting is good for the soul.
i find i have a bad mouth. it spills out a bad word a lot. i usually delete it on the computer, but im stopping myself so much in front of my parents!
LOVE!! http://www.twloha.com
Hmmm…that is the art of self control my friend.
my day was spent in walking around classrooms where we did nothing reading and listening to Tyrannosaurus Hives over and over. tonnes of fun.
except in classes in which i had no friends, where my experiences were pretty similar to capt. cockatiel’s, which musta sucked.
my parents are pretty lenient about cursing but i don’t really because it’s awkward. while self-censorship is hard.
though today there was a funny moment cuz i had my book in my backpack, and this dude who’s a totall @$$ took it and decided “i’m going to read this!” and swings it open.
to which i’m all “f**k, you lost my page.”
…and it was kind of hilarious because we were watching a movie and it was quiet and the sub was sitting right behind me. and i turned around sort of apologetically, but i didn’t get busted because the guy is THAT MUCH of an idiot.
Hmmm…I don’t swear. No reason, I just don’t.
lol, id be pissed if someone took my book too!
i just swear a lot. im not a druggie, and i dont drink. my language is as bad ass as i get. which my parents are lucky i havent started sneaking around. i listen to the rules and pay attention, youre just at a righer risk to hear the f word come out of my mouth than the person next to me.
LOVE!!!! http://www.twloha.com
Ha, lol that’s funny.
yeah, see my parents dont like my boyfriend because beside the fact hes almost three years older than me, he wears clothes that scare the shit out of them (tripp pants, piercings, black nailpolish, etc.) things I would wear if i could, and his hair is long (which a lot of people say he looks like a chick, but i SWEAR hes not. i would know. and that doesnt mean ive lost my flower, its still very much there) everyother word is the f word. unless hes telling me he loves me that is. but then it sometimes is in german (ich leibe dich) which i think is really sweet.
to spice up my little twloha link,
LEIBE!!! http://www.twloha.com
(love)
Ha, wow. My parents, well…no….let me rephrase that. My Older-very protective- Brother who happens to be in the military would hunt him down if that was the case with me, and then take him out on a boat into international waters because lots of things are illegal in this country. *hint* hint* But then again he’d do that for any guy….he’s threatened it before. So yeah….
If I get really angry I will swear in a whisper… Because usually when I’m mad I’m not talking really *to* people, so to burst out swearing would be a little awkward. >.> If I am semi-angry, I will say fug. Because it is not only a reference to An Abundance of Katherines, but also that other book that I’ve never read and don’t know the title of… anyways. But mostly, you could say that I don’t swear.
I get really mad when people touch my books, though. I get mad when people touch my binder, actually. I am a little protective of my stuff when it comes to people I don’t know well or don’t like.
im surprised my dad hasnt killed my boyfriend yet. for almost two months ive been asking to have codie over. at my house, so after two months of asking youd think theyd give in right? as long as we are good and dont leave and just sit on the porch, not even touching, just talking. but no, they wont even let me have that will they. they are making me so mad. i dont even talk to my dad anymore, i just sort of walk by this life in a host like manner. im a loner enough, they dont have to push me further. im sorry about the ranting but im getting really mad and really scared they wont let me see him. ive only even seen him twice. twice. honestly, i wouldnt be fighting so much for him if i didnt care about him. my last boyfriend justin they liked more than i did. they drove me to see him. but not codie. they cant even let me be happy with someone for once can they? seriously! they no how anti social i am. i dont make firends easy, cant they just let me be happy? they keep saying they know whats best for me, and maybe they do. codie is destined to hurt me, as its going to end someday. but they have to let me make my own mistakes, and they have to let me find out life for myself. the only thing they are doing is pushing me away from them. sorry for the ranting, but at the moment i have no where else to put it. the only friend i trust is sucky with advice and gives one word comments, i cant talk to codie because of his parents right now. and i really dont have anyone else reliable. im sorry.
leibe http://www.twloha.com
oh, and i forgot this. i wish i had a protective older brother. i dont have a brother, just sisters, we the three of us pretty much hate eachother. and in all the books and shows you see with protective older brothers, its just so sweet and ive always wanted that. i write them in my stories.
leibe http://www.twloha.com
My older bro seriously rocks, he’s awesome and is taking me white water rafting this summer. We’re really close, it’s little brothers that you have to worry about. I swear, freaking devil child! We fight like everyday and I feel bad for my parents, he drives them up the wall.
lol. i only have two sisters. jess (twin, some of you know her) and ashley, a runner that really gets on my nerves. i want an older brother. or a friend thats a guy that can fill that position. jess has that with brian. but i think that brian and jess like each other as more than friends. but theyre both in denial because they dont want to ruin the friendship. basically, their friendship rocks. i envy it, i want something like it, but i dont think ill ever get it.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
Hmmm…you never know, it could happen….the scary thing is though, that my older bro and little bro look exactly alike when they were the same age. Cuz there’s pictures of him when he was like ten, and I swear even my mom can’t tell which one’s which if you put the two pictures next to eachother. The only difference besides one of them being the living imbodiment of the devil is that my older brother can actually get girls, whereas the closest to that for the younger one, is me catching him making out with a miley cyrus poster *Gag me*
ew sick nasty. miley cyrus? help that kid! how old is your brother? like, is he a lot older than you?
when jess and i were younger i cant tell the difference between us, but now we look nothing alike. people say we do but we dont. but then, we are twins thats how its supposed to be. thats strange the way it is with your brothers. thatd be crazy if he looks the same as your older brother when hes the same age as your older brother is now. did that make sense? i kind of lost my own train of thought as i was typing it………
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
Yeah, it made sense. What’s even weirder is that they’re only half brothers yet they look exactly alike. Sadly my younger brother(three years younger than me) is my full brother, but my older brother(who’s 24 years old) is my half brother too, but I don’t treat him any different than if he were my full brother, cuz he’s lived with us my whole life till he moved when he was like…19. And I know, Miley Cyrus = Yuck but there’s no talking sense into the retard.
lol, if he wanted disney he could at least have gone with the selena gomez chick. shes not nearly as…. yuck as miley cyrus or hannah montana. i really dont like them. are they different people? that confuses me so much! but i really dont like disney. they kind of sluterized the world. disney is the most watched tv channel for kids, and the stuff they have now really isnt as morality focused as it used to be.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
They are sadly the same people… Actually, their being the same person means the world has one less bad singer. So. There’s a perk for us all. >.> Ish.
I have an older brother. I would not call him “protective,” though. We’re kind of similar when it comes to general interests — school, music, reading — but when it comes to topics, we are very different — I like English, he likes history; I like newer stuff, he likes older stuff; I like fiction, he likes nonfiction. We do both like Los Campesinos! though. I seriously think that’s all we have in common for reals. XP I am just sort of the in-between kid since I have a younger sister. She and my brother fight all the time and really don’t like each other very much. (In retrospect, I think the most “protective” thing my brother has ever said was when I told him that my friend Peter asked me out and he said “That freak with the shorts? I’ll beat him up!” Yeah. That’s Harris for you…) My siblings and I are all two years apart, so there isn’t much room for protectiveness there, if you ask me.
I do have my best friend Aaron, though, who I have known since I was five years old. My three best friends are my second family.
I’m sorry about your parents not letting you see your boyfriend, Katie. I guess that while I can see where they might be coming from, I also get your side of it all and it seems sort of unfair. You’ve only seen him twice? I would think that your parents should give him more of a chance than that. And it pretty much seems that you’re willing to compromise… Hrm.
As for Disney being moraly focused — were they ever? I’d go into a feminist rant, but I think it’s obvious what I would talk about. I wouldn’t really call that “morals” to teach your children. But that’s just me.
*morally
Freaking fast typing.
want to know what show was morality based? Mickey Mouse. and Bear in the Big Blue house. everything else is just trashy. basically the stuff you could see on in the morning when we were all younger. not anymore. like Rollie Pollie Ollie!!!! i loved that show….. lol
my parents are being unfair about it. i mean, codie does have a lot of bad language but a lot of people do. like last night i was talking to my uncle and jess came in the conversation, jess doesnt like codie. she said “her boyfriend! all he ever says is the f word!” like its some big scandal or something, then in the most monotone voice ever, my uncle says, “have you talked to uncle greg?” and seriously, its true! there are poeple out there way worse than codie. ugh. they make me so mad. i could rant forever. but i wont do that.
i like old things, and i like history, but english is better. i like fiction, nonfiction is boring. jess and i basically share the same interests, except she getting more into the underground, pshcopathic records, rap stuff. like ICP, Twiztid, and that stuff. youd be surprised how much nicer their lyrics are. i mean, they kind of went from sex to murder, sex being mainstream, murder being psycopathic, but they actually have stories behind their songs. like On the Day When the Wagons Come. i dont kow if thats what its really called, but it says that in the song, so well go with it.
LOVE!! http://www.twloha.com
yeah, i curse too much, i kind of wish i did it less. but whatever.
and my parents curse a lot too, so i don’t usually get crap from them for it.
and that sucks about your boyfriend, Katie-wa. one of my friends is going through the same sort of thing, because her parents—after meeting and approving of her boyfriend on their first date—have now decided that she’s too young to have a boyfriend. which leaves them all really p*ssed, because you can’t just revoke your approval and say they aren’t allowed to see each other.
any-way. i’m an only child and as such have nothing to say on the topic of protective siblings.
wow so many more posts. now that it’s SUMMER guess there’s more time to be a-wasting on the internet. i’m so happy, Friday was my last day. FAWESOME.
i’m working on a new story. it’s about the end of the world.
and EWWWWW Miley Cyrus.
a have a week and two days left of summer school. i only have two days this week because the teacher has a workshop to go to. which works because recital is this week. but im really nervous because after three years of working on them i still cant do my fouettes. i can sometimes but sometimes i cant. its just to iffy. i could not be able to do them the day of recital but then i can the next day. so i have the decision of telling my teacher i can or cant do tham in the show, but i dont know what to do because i want to do them really bad, but i dont want to embarrass myself either.
im determined to see him. i dont know how ill do it, but ill convice them that codie is good. my parents approved of my first boyfriend but now their telling me im not allowed to date. im really pissed over what they are doing. i cant stand them. its so hard to even be in the same room anymore.
ooo! new stories! is it in the future end of the world? or present? whats it like? or have you not gotten far with it yet?
my story that i was so happy to call my own is no longer my own as jess has seemed to have taken it over. im so sad though. i cant say no to her ideas either. why does she have to have such good ones *growls*
LOVE!!! (leibe) http://www.twloha.com
it’s sort of the end of the world in the near-future. like not right now but maybe in a few years.
and i just started plotting it out yesterday, and started it today. got 5 pages (in a word document) right now, and i think it’ll be more of a short story. 20 or 30 pages at most likely. maybe a little longer.
and it’s sort of these kids running around the city and what people would do if everyone knew that the world was going to for-real inescapably end the next morning.
and i’m procrastinating writing it right now. so i should probably go do that. they’re getting tattoos. it’s good fun.
mmmmm, i want more chocolate chip cookies.
That sounds cool….My hamster is climbing up the wall like freaking spiderman! It’s creepy! But cool! But creepy at the same time….
lol, spider-hamster! cute….. whats its name? i had a hamster once. her name was snowflake. demon would have been a little more appropriate because of her red eyes and the fact that she was a pain in the ass. she was a freaking surviver hamster, should have gone on the damn show. she took three excursions through the furnace during winter, which shoukd have cooked her, but ya know, it didnt. and then she got out and chewed the inside of our couch in the basement to shreds and almost raped classy, the other master who lost all its teeth from excessive chewing on the bars of the cage. they were idiots.
why are you procrastinating on writing? i LOVE to write! right now i writting a story with jess (even though it was supposed to be my own) about 5 chicks (Jessamine, Jasmine, Jess, Jacinda, and Jacinthe) kicking ass and trying to find out who killed Jessamine’s brother Josh with two of his friend Drayden and Ayden. and i didnt notice until now that they rhyme. its pretty interesting, and really funny now that jess is there. and even though it wasnt supposed to happen, as in i had full intentions of leaving this out, Drayden and Jessamine fall in love. i fell in love with the character, i had to. jess did the same thing with Jess and Ayden. and no its not a coincidence that they have the same name. Jess is just unbelievably vain and i didnt have another j name.
how do you write? do you make outlines and make chapters from there? or do you just start writing like you would a journal entry? i write like i do here, make things up as i go. i tried the whole outline thing, but then i get new ideas and its too much of a hassle to fix them in out lines. besides, i like paragraph forms. i dont like sentence fragments.
LOVE!!! http://www.twloha.com
I write whichever way works for me that day. It’s different all the time. My hamster’s name is Tally-poo(Lol). She doesn’t bite me but she bites my brother whenever he tries to touch her! Good hamster! I’ve taught her well! *wipes tear away* so proud. But she’s escaped once and I found her hiding in my pillow. She’s weird though! She’ll just hang on the side of the cage all day and sleep like that. It’s kinda scary…but cool at the same time…
i love writing too, i just waste my time and intelligence on the internet, lol. and sometimes i don’t know what to do in a scene or something.
and it varies, cuz i’ve got about a million stories at once. there’s a couple where i’ve got a vague outline, or at least an idea of the events through the whole thing. and then there’s others i just write, and ones that i write scenes out of order and then realize how they fit. it’s wierd.
also, that sounds cool, katie. nice names.
i never had a hamster. i have a lizard though.
Lizards are cool….my friend had one…but there was an incident….apparently her dog thought the lizard was cool too…
Tomorrow is my last day of school!! Tonight is my graduation ceremony thing. I have to give a speech… which is stupid.
I write a lot. Mostly poems and stuff. It takes me a while to really come up with a story that I want to write, so when I write something longer it is usually for a specific reason (Nano, writing camp applications, etc). But I do write stories with my best friend. We haven’t worked on the latest in a looong time, but I am determined to get her to start working on it again this summer. (However, when I do write a story, I don’t plan it out very much. Planning is for after yo’ve written something and you have to RE-write it.)
As for pets, I have a cockatiel. His name is Oliver and he’s about… uh, four years old? Something like that.
I have a hamster, a beagle named pearl, she’s my little angel, she’s almost…8 years old…a basset hound named maddie that’s 2 years old, she’s cute but I think she may also be the devil. And a Cailico cat that’s like ancient, named Kallie, she’s like 19 years old…she was my older sister’s cat when she was little.
i dont have any pets anymore. my rabbit died a few days ago. we think the glow stick finally got to her……
i dont ever know what to do in somes scenes either. it takes me forever to get any inspiration to keep moving. i know how im going to end this one, its going to be amazing. theyre going to find oout josh isnt dead after all, just had to hide to protect jessamine. otherwise she would have died. i just have to get it there, and i dont know how im going to do that yet…….
LOVE!!!! leibe http://www.twloha.com
Sounds cool
yeah, i basically write all the time. because if i didn’t, i’d just be raving about werewolves all the time.
we’ve also got some wierd fish that eat each other.
and poor friend’s lizard….and glowing rabbit….
and sometimes i know exactly what’s going to happen, but it’s just writing it out that sticks. the words won’t flow and they come out all lame and wrong and earthly.
wow i’m a crazy person.
i think i’ve managed to completely blow the brains out of my head by listening to music at unsafe volumes. *sigh*
omg i love summer. YES!
Ha, noise polution. It’s so bad, but so good. LoL
I WISH I WERE YOU!!!!! im not allowed to blow my brains out. i only want too. if the volume goes above a whisper my sister, aka second mother or little mother bitches at me for hours on end.
ugh. i have a headache. its one of those that starts at the side of your nose and expands over your eye with a hell of a lot of pain. ugh i hate these.
my stories generally write themselves after a while. sometimes i dont even remember writting it, it just appears. sometimes its good, sometimes im like “who the frack wrote this” and my stories contain the same language that i speak here. swear words. actually, the one im writting right now, its more of an adult novel. which is strange because im a teen
ugh…. headache…
love! leibe http://www.twloha.com
huh? frack? i dont use the word frack.
ugh. i still have a headache.
love! http://www.twloha.com
dammit, i wrote a whole long comment and it just got totally lost.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
any-way. yeah, i can’t usually blare music. but now that it’s summer i’m the only one home, so nobody complains. 😀
i had a killer headache yesterday. i completely deny rumors that it was related to The Ramones.
yeah, i love rereading stories and seeing lines you didn’t remember. that happened to me yesterday, and it was kind of funny. like “dude. i think i might actually be a good writer.”
which was pretty awesome. cuz there were some pretty great lines i’d totally forgotten.
i swear in my stories sometimes, but it’s usually more in (man, i really can’t spell the word dialouge) conversations. stories where they swear in the narration are kind of distracting, i think. but can still be awesome.
still, never underestimate the time-honored tactic of saying “[character-name] swore.” instead of spelling it out. because sometimes that’s less jarring than just having dialouge of people just swearing.
though if they’re being creative about it, i let them spell it out.
i dont always like it when they just say that they swore. im sitting there like, “i want to know what they said! what word! shit? ass? f**k? i could go on forever!” although in some cases it works, like if theres been a lot of previous swearing.
the ramones cant give you a headache, just how loud you listen to them. and rap gives people headaches. it sucks and you have to try and figure out what theyre saying only to be appalled that yet ANOTHER song is about sex. jesus christ. the subject is NOT going anywhere. as long as teenage pregnancies and stds are going around, you can make song about it later. thank you very much.
LOVE!! http://www.twloha.com
Gaaaahhh… Sophomore. I can’t believe that I am a sophomore.
Or that it has been so HOT out. I am Dreading NY. D:
Ack, freshman is I. Gosh it’s been like over 100 degrees all day!
im a freshamn too. idont like the homework.
it stormed today. it was nice…..
LOVE!! http://www.twloha.com
Yesterday it looked like it was cold out — but it wasn’t. It was SO HOT and MUGGY. Argh. And my mom made me go for a very long walk.
But I got two new Kooks songs. So that was fun. I’m angry, though, that there are about three or four songs that are only available to buy from iTunes in the UK. (I don’t have an iPod, but my friends do. So they buy the iTunes stuff and I get the Zune stuff. It all works out very well…)I really want all their b-sides. >.> Gar. And even some of those you can’t get from iTunes etc. There is some thing to download all of them, but I can’t get it. I don’t know. I will stop rambling about this now.
One more day left in WA before the Big Trip of Doom. v.v
Trip of doom? LoL…care to elaborate?
Hmmm…so if this is a smiley face : ) then is this a one eyed smiley face . ) ?
if you can find the songs off of youtube you can probably convert them to music files. i can explain it to you if you can get that.
LOVE!!! *leibe* http://www.twloha.com
Trip of Doom is my trip to NY for something like two weeks. Evil evil trip. Gah!
Do any of you like the Last Shadow Puppets? I know one/some of you like the Arctic Monkeys… I remember a conversation about burned CDs and the Arctic Monkeys or something weird like that. So. Anyone?
Katie — I know *of* getting music off YouTube, but a lot of the stuff on there isn’t very good quality. Hrm. I mean, the songs I want are on YouTube, but… eh. I don’t know. Does this involve downloading other software? Because I can’t do that. >.< Annoyingly. Otherwise I could get all the b-sides off this other thinger. (I sound like such a freak, don’t I? Obsessed!)
My friend was supposed to burn me her Morning Benders CD before my trip. Now I won’t have them. D: Ah well.
Why is your trip to New York bad?! Wow, I’m going to NY later this summer and I’m really excited…am I missing something???
Let’s here it for b-sides, everybody! woo!
and i loves the Arctic Monkeys, so it was probably me.
i make wayyy too many mixes.
and on the topic of b-sides, all these great Arctic Monkeys b-sides keep coming up on Pandora but i can’t get them plus i’m cheap and don’t have iTunes and all… sadness…
Interestingly, i just burnt one of my friends an Arctic Monkeys CD yesterday.
Listening to The Hives right now, whom i lurve. My patented Supermix, wherein i combine like three albums and take off all the songs i don’t like.
and it hasn’t been too bad around here, temperature-wise. Was really muggy yesterday but then it started raining and got a little better. I hear it’s supposed to rain today, which is awesome.
And it’s been cool enough that i’ve been able to get away with wearing flannel shirts and/or jackets or multiple t-shirts every day, even if it makes my mom give me really odd looks.
and no dissing of NYC, ‘kay? i loves my city.
And i’m also in denial about being a sophomore. Still feel like such a freshman.
also, i love this song.
http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?artist=508205&vid=230503
although the fact that it’s lived in my head for the last two weeks is starting to get really obnoxious.
and i’ve noticed this really wierd phenomenon wherein ALL THE LYRICS ON THE INTERNET ARE TOTALLY WRONG. like, okay, the dude is *kind* of incoherent, but he’s definitly saying COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things than the lyrics list them as. I see no mention of “it’s doomsday on the other side of town” or “we all get scared of sticking out our necks” and he totally says that. Stupid lyrics.
any-way. I’m bored. and revising my story. Which i should return to, because i said i’d finish at least two chapters today.
Actually i finished four. yay!
Visiting family in Albany and Long Island does not make for a fun New York vacation. >.> That is why the trip is bad (combined with the fact that I don’t like to travel anyways).
I should maybe be packing instead of chatting on email with my friends and posting this. Huh.
Oh — I don’t feel like a sophomore, either. I feel young and naive and like a little nothing. Mostly because I have only been inside my Future School one time.
Serafina-la, I’ve never heard that song before but I really like it! The video’s kinda creepy but it’s funny. When I go to New York I’m gonna be at this writing academy workshop thingy that I got into while my parents and brother are in New York City…The stores should be afraid. Very afraid. My mother is a shopaholic, and putting her and places like…say…5th avenue together, is not a good thing. She says she won’t go overboard, but she will. Definitely. LoL, at least she has good taste, so I don’t have to be worried about her buying me anything I don’t like…but I can’t wait! I love to travel. As long as it’s not like a really long car ride. Ugh, I hate riding in cars with a fiery passion. But planes and trains I’m okay with, never been on a boat so Idk bout that…
I like boats. Ferry rides are always nice… Not so much a plane fan, though. Planes just smell… plane-y. Ew.
I’m starting to worry about my writing camp in August. They were supposed to send me a letter with permission forms and stuff, but I haven’t gotten it yet. I just sent a woman from the camp and email about it. So I’ll have to check my email every day in NY or something. >.> I hope she responds quickly. O_O
I wanted to find out if there were any good book signings going on the day that I get to go to NYC, but apparently there aren’t. Which sucks. So I have settled for convincing my dad to take me places from So Yesterday in Manhattan. (:
I have to get up at about 4:30 tomorrow morning. Talk to you all when I get back!
all you have to do to get music off youtube is put in an email and a convert link will be sent to your email. i think its probably illegal, so i dont suggest excessive copying.
im cheap and dont use itunes either, so i just do the youtube thing. well, jess does, i know how to do it, but for some reason it never works right for me.
wow, im behind in conversation.
i dont like to travel that much other than ipod time in the car. i love that.
the only traveling im looking forward to is seeing a gothic castle called chateau larouche (i think thats how you spell it, probably french. i cant spell french) that we talked my parents into taking us to. its beautiful….. i just dont know when we’re going.
LOVE!!! *leibe* http://www.twloha.com
Ooh, sounds fun! I’m so angry. I’m gonna be at the writing workshop the whole two weeks that I’m in New York and so I’m not going to get to do anything in NYC. My parents are going to see Broadway Shows, they’re gonna watch a Mets Game(*shrugs* I like Baseball.) and all kinds of stuff that I’m gonna miss out on. Gr. Oh well….
New York is so great. It sucks you can’t see some Broadway shows. I live on Long Island so I go into the City a lot. My friends and I are going to see Rent in August.
ah, Long Island/Albany/Relatives. this explains all. *shakes head* family.
though despite being like half an hour from the city, i’ve only been to like…well, practically no Broadway shows. and mostly for school. but i’m not really a show person.
and at my school, being a sophomore means you’ve already been in the school a full year.
yeah, i love the Do The Panic video. fun with greenscreening!
yeah, they show that on Steven’s Untitled Rock Show like everyday. i loves that show.
i am so sick of planes. possibly because i’ve never been on a plane ride less than six hours. CLAUSTRIPHOBIA!
is there a sequel to So Yesterday??
Nope, no sequal. Yeah, I see what you’re talking about with the claustriphobia. I’ve only been on a plane twice, the first time it was two hours the second was five.
nope. So Yesterday’s like the only standalone.
EXCEPT THE MIDNIGHTERS SERIES, WHICH NEEDS MORE!
Yeah, we keep getting stuck on tiny, uncomfortable planes to places like Ireland and Iceland, where it takes HOURS. like, six or eight hours.
and the uncomfortable seats….ugh.
Ha, LoL. Yeah…It seems worth it on the way there cuz you know you’re goin’ somewhere cool so you endure it and it’s not as bad but on the way back it’s like Ugh.
The last plane ride i took back was like six hours, my hair was all crusty, and we were going backwards, so our travel day was really like 30 days long. And we were on this tiny little plane with the most uncomfortable seats ever, and it seriously sucked.
Especially when you take a six-hour flight, leave at 5:30 pm, and get there at 6 pm. it was WEIRD.
and then we went home and slept for several days. Good fun.
Seriously, i skipped the next day of school and slept all day. And then that night went to see a concert, which was probably not in my own best interest but whatever.
Wait…you left at 5:30 pm and got there at 6:00 pm??? Gah, time differences bug the heck out of me!
yeah, it was seriously weird. because we were going against the day, or something, following it or whatever.
so for us the day was like 30 hours long.
That’s like Twilight Zone creepy.
I love the Twilight Zone.
….and can’t wait for the 4th of July marathon. I love Twilight Zone marathons. New Year’s Eve, 4th of July. Sci-Fi Channel, you fix all the barely awesome holidays with marathon goodness.
and ironically, we were seated next to the wing on that 30-hour-day flight, so we spent the whole time making gremlin jokes.
good fun.
Rofl, that reminds me of a little incident on one of our flights…hehe, *whistles innocently*…We were sitting right next to the wing too, and I was next to my Mum. It was a red eye flight, so it was dark and there were thunder storms so there was a ton of turbulence and I’d never flown before so I was really freaked out. Well I looked out the window and the little flashing lights on the wing looked a bit odd, so I woke my Mom up and showed her. She’d never flown before either so she was freaking out earlier, and I kinda told her that it looked like it was on fire, and she took it the wrong way…there was a big scene…she really hates flying…hehehe….not my fault.
niiiiiiiiiiiice.
on the flight over, my dad had a flashlight and was shining it on the wing and freaking out the people in the row in front of us…..
i kept expecting to get arrested by security as terrorists or something.
LoL, that’s awesome. My sister a while ago paid cash for her ticket, so the homeland security peoples red flagged her and had to pat her down! When she told me I was cracking up SO freaking hard.
HI T&Z!!!!!
I’M BACK!
DID YA’LL MISS ME?? 😉
Hi! *waves*
…i’m bored. And I got sick during camp, so I had a 101.4 (ish) fever on……. wednesday i think. Then it started going down, but i’ve had a cough ever since. I cant even talk right!!!!!!!
Oh that’s not good, hope you feel better.
fevers suck. this past school year i had bad fevers twice. was suckish.
but made me reread Beautiful City of the Dead, which was fun. Anybody read it?
Can’t say I have, so it’s good? If so, I’ll go look for it.
gah! im so bored!
i havent posted in a while. what have you all been up to? anything exciting?
LOVE!! http://www.twloha.com
I’m practicing my oboe right now…
Ummm….nothin much, you?+
I just updated my blog for the hundreth time. Okay only 93rd, but who’s counting.
how do you play an oboe? i dont even know what it is other than it is a musical instrument. lol.
im so bored……………… im always bored.
Andrea-la- i dont think i know you. how are you?
Yeah, i think Beautiful City of the Dead is pretty good. Weird, and sort of freaky, but awesome. About these kids in a band and their elemental powers… much fawesome there.
oboe’s sort of like a longer clarinet, right? oh yeah, i was in band. flute players ftw!
i don’t know how many times i’ve updated my blog. a lot. and only since December.
also sort of bored…hungry….i think i’ll have a banana.
um what does the ftw stand for? It’s not got a curse word in it though, does it…? because i think I may have figured it out if it does…
i dont know what ftw means either. i mean it could mean “f**k the world” among a ton of other things.
i thought an oboe was more of a cello type of thing….. i dont know……
ftw=for the win.
ah. Much better than what I thought…
for the win….. haha. that works. i never knew that. lol.
yeah….
i’m a flute player, btw. I honestly agree with people when they say fluters, as my band calls them, are stuck up girly girls… lol. At least at my school they are, with the exception of a couple and me… no offence to anyone here.
I tried playing flute before. It didn’t work. The stupid thing wouldn’t make any noise. So I switched to Clarinet, but i don’t even play that anymore. The only thing I’ve stuck with is piano.
i want to play piano soooooo bad. im trying to teach myself piano, but its not working. so im going to try taking beginers instruments in the fall when im in highschool (finally) i just hope they have piano. im not positive if they do. i want to play thoughtless by korn. evanescence did an AMAZING cover with piano.
i played flute for four years in school and completly sucked at it, but i quit band when i got to high school because then membership in band means manditory membership in marching band, which means hours and hours of comitment and shiny hats.
most of the flute players were decent people though, a couple of my friends and i were obviously the most awesome ones, but nobody was really bad. the most annoying girls really didn’t do band.
we have a piano and yet no one plays it. i don’t know why. my dad plays a little. i’ve never been especially interesting in playing piano, personally.
I play oboe and clarinet. My school doesn’t have a marching band but I wish it did. Yeah…I like band too much…
Humm…the only reason that I was in band was to get out of choir, cuz the teacher was evil. But my band teacher was hecka cool! He’d like stand on his desk at random times and then knock over chairs and stuff, and we were all looking at him and he just shrugs and says “It was messing up the fung shuei.” (Yes I know that’s probably spelled wrong.) And we all just cracked up, but ya he’s crazy. But I don’t take band anymore…
lol, i wish i could have a teacher like that. the only fun thing ive ever had at school was my math teacher trying to teach us sets by using sex terms after an unfortunate slip with her words. we three-somes… two-somes…… and then the loner who just doesnt get any.
sadly, i have no memorable music teacher stories. there was the guy who just showed the Lion King all the time who was supposedly fired for having alcohol in his desk, but i think that was a rumor.
Haha. Mine just pretty much had little arguments (I’ve always had two in middle school, and they poked fun at each other) until one of them had to move and work at another school. She was fawesome. Then our replacement band teacher was evil. Seriously, I was LAST FREAKIN’ CHAIR practically the entire year. And I moved up only when my other teacher or student teacher graded me. When I sounded/did better than someone who was 4th or 3rd chair (out of 7 chairs). Although I have to agree with you, Serafina Zane, most of the girls who were freakishly girly *cough RTSes cough cough* found it too hard to play and hated the teachers because they gave them bad grades (good gosh, HEAVEN KNOWS WHY ROFL) so they quit about halfway through the school year, some making it through the entire year. When my old band teacher came back to visit, the one that stayed asked her to go get something for her from the band office and the old teache said “see you all? She still bosses me around even when I don’t work here!” she said it jokingly though. they call us flute players “fluters” hehe.
Oh my God. I am sooo tired right now. We got back this afternoon — gaaaahhh.
But I’ll have you all know that when we went to the city it was too hot and gross to do everything we had planned. So we did two things — we went to the Met and… *drum roll* Lispenard and Church! I am such a So Yesterday nerd, yeah? My sister complained the whole time about walking there, but it was the one thing I had wanted to do in the city. I took a picture of the street sign. >.> Yeeah. So other than being on Lispenard (which was sort of, ahem, not a great street when it comes to, you know, safety) the best part of vacation was reading Suite Scarlett in NY. That sort of completed it for me.
OH! My friend also called me when I was in NY to tell me she’d bought me a ticket to see the Kooks in October!! YAYS!
woo concerts!
personally, I’m still convincing my parents to take a detour on one of our road trips so we can drive through Bixby and take pictures. As of yet, no luck.
actually i read Suite Scarlett (parts of it, anyway) in New York too, while we were driving around, which was kind of fun. Same thing goes for reading City of Bones for the first time while driving to my grandma’s and going through New York and stuff. much cool.
in my school, everyone got an A in band if you showed up and went to practices. simple philosphy.
hooray it’s my birthday. my parents got me a Raconteurs shirt and some Raconteurs buttons. very very awesome.
Happy B-day! Geez…driving through Oklahoma though, through a freaking thunderstorm is like the most boring and freaky thing ever. Like seriously! The lightning actually comes down there! And we had to park cuz something went wrong under the hood of the car and it was like night time and raining like heck so my Dad, being the genious that he is, gets out of the car to see if he can fix it. As soon as he stepped out, lightning touched down like 2 feet away from him, and all you hear is “HOLY SH–!” and so yeah….not fun during a t-storm. I don’t suggest it. Concerts=mucho cool.
My band teacher desided to play kick boxing with us. It was fun. I like kicking boxes.
I got 98% in band…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
i LOVE thunderstorms! there was a supposedly bad one in my area yesterday, and there was supposedly tornadoes. there wasnt any tornadoes, but apparently it was hard to drive. but we didnt care jess and i were out in the worst of it. when you would breathe you got a mouthful of water. we were dancing in the front yard, and our clothes were soaked the second we stepped outside. it was amazing. but there WAS tornadoes where my boyfriend lives, and he was outside during the whole thing. gah! i was mad, but i didnt tell him that. he sort of evaded the part where he was outside and there was tornadoes.
this one park ranger was hit five times by lighting, on five different occasions. talk about bad luck! and the dude is still living! i guess thats good luck actually. he should have died by the second………
how do they grade you on band things?
Happy birthday!
There was a thunderstorm when I was in NY. It didn’t last very long, though. Supposedly they were supposed to happen all week or whatever… they didn’t, though. At least not where I was.
thanks
it rained today. was fun. cooled off a little, thank god.
and because i am full of lighting fun facts, cars are like, the safetest places ever to be because of the rubber wheels. awesome.
yeah, i used to know all these statistics about getting hit by lightning, but no more.
the empire state building gets struck by lightning about 34 times a year, there’s one.
and i stop now before i go into the gruesome details of how lightning kills you because isn’t it cool that the heat makes the air in your lungs expand and blow up? well, i guess not. kind of morbid, actually.
haha, i have to say that is pretty cool and weird SZ.
LoL, ’tis cool. I’m blame my parents for letting me grow up on medical shows.
ah but medical shows are awesome.
Why yes, yes they are.
I used to want to be an ER doctor, or nurse at least. I loved (and still like) the ER show on TLC, but i don’t remember the name. It’s real ER stories and stuff that they re-enact.
OOOHH I LOVE THOSE SHOWS! they are so amazing!
*jumps up and down screaming* im happy for TWO reasons! 1. I MIGHT GO TO A WARPED TOUR CONCERT!!!! 2. I MIGHT GET OUT OF A GRADUATION PARTY I DONT WANT TO GO TO BECAUSE IT MIGHT RAIN!!!
gotta go. gonna go on the big kid swings at the park!
congrats, katie. warped tour coverage on fuse = the true proof that it’s really summer.
i used to watch like animal surgery shows all the time, and then turned into the kind of person who could no longer watch the shows. i like my gruesome knowledge in words, not pictures and video and owl’s insides.
man i’m tired. not being able to fall asleep sucks.
but hey, i’m watching Hellboy. and writing about werewolves!
Just finished the Maximum Ride series yesterday. In my opinion, it was actually pretty good. But now I’m out of stuff to read. Again. Must. Get. To. Borders. Gah.
lol TZ, what’s Maximum Ride about?
6 Avian-Human Hybrid kids and a buncha psycho/maniacal scientist screwing around with DNA and genetics and stuff so these 6 kids are like 98%human and 2%bird so they have wings. And there’s a little world destruction and evil dictators tossed in there too. It’s better than I’m making it sound though.
im not sure if im going to go to warped tour. i looked up all the bands there, and i know all the songs for one, The Academy Is…, and then the rest, only a few ive even heard of. im more of an Evanescence, fancier, kind of gothic, music person now i guess. i stopped listening to The Academy Is… a while ago. i think ill skip, and then save up for evanescence. who tours again in ’09. besides, if you dont know the music, you have to be a good hardcore dancer. and that im not.
TZ I forgot, you explained it already lol.
Sounds interesting, you should talk to Abby-wa about it. On the Zepplin post she asked if anyone reads that series.
Will do. Sounds cool Katie.
i’ve never read maximum ride, which is strange. usually when someone comes up to me and says “i’ve just read this great new series! you should read it too”, i have to burst their bubble and mention that not only have i read, bought, and then re-read said series several times, i tried to get said person to read said series six months ago.
that’s a real tongue-twister! try saying said sentence six times fast…
haha, i love it when that happens to me, lotti-wa…
well when i’m in your position, not the other person’s…
that happens to me all the time. ah, the problems of someone who’s read many, many more books than any of their friends. all my friends just read what i reccomend to them. no fun.
Also, Maximum Ride is good, the first is definitly the best, but overall they’re fun, despite plot holes. they’re awesome enough that you forget them.
Yeah, I see what you’re talkin’ about. I love Fang, he’s hecka cool. Ummm…but Angel kinda creeps me out…LoL.
ha, i never liked Angel that much. never scared by her, but i just never liked her.
also, the Fang on the cover of Saving The World and Other Extreme Sports looks just like this dude who was in my music class last year. it was really weird, because that was when the book came out. me and my friend have a theory he’s got a secret career as a model.
LoL, that’s hilarious. He sounds cute then! Lmao, but I imagined Fang with a little longer hair than that…I can’t wait till the 5th book comes out though!
actually, he’s kind of an @$$hole stoner, but it’s funny, that’s for sure. their hair is so the same, i swear.
but then he got a haircut, and all his hotness went down the drain. sigh. which left him just as an @$$hole.
there’s going to be a fifth one? i didn’t read the fourth because i heard it was horrible, a whole different style, and just raving about global warming. i choose to view the series as a trilogy.
*sigh* I swear, like all the hot ones end up as a-holes. It’s sad. *shakes head in disgust* LoL. Yep, there’s gonna be a 5th. Hmmm…I didn’t think the 4th one was a different style. The only thing different was that it was a lot shorter than the others. I thought it was pretty good though, even if global warming was a main theme to it, I still liked it.
It’s just a fact. i blame it on the fact that they know they’re hot. it’s a psychological thing.
people i know said they didn’t like it, so i figured i’d leave it at the third one, which i liked, and not ruin it for myself, because that one had a good ending.
Totally true, and it goes to their heads. Yeah, some people just have different tastes. *shrugs* But I’m like dying, waiting for Bogus to Bubbly and Leviathan to come out.
Has anyone read City of Bones? Jace is kinda hot… poor Clary
My favourite part is the bit at the hotel “du mort”. with all the vampires and stuff. Jace was pretty mean to Raphael, you know, if all he wanted was a guy turned into a rat. teehee
I haven’t read it yet, I looked for it at Borders today but they were all sold out so I have to special order it.
ugh i hate that. but it’s a good book, and it’s worth it.
That’s what I’ve heard so far, so hopefully it’ll get here soon! LoL, but since they didn’t have that, I got this book called The otherworldies, I just started it. Have you read it?
hhhhmmmmm….
ive never been on here before… and have almost no idea what anybodys talking about on here…
i really wanna read those City of Bones books. sadly, i have yet to buy them.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 🙁
Ello
never heard of it! what’s it about?
Never heard of what?
never heard of The Otherworldies
Oooohhh
seriously, what is it?
It’s a book.
grrrr… lol
really. what’s said book about???????
and please don’t say “about otherworldies”
lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove the Mortal Instruments (City of Bones/Ashes/soon to be Glass). for real. they’re on the Best Books Ever list right next to Midnighters and Ironside/Tithe/Valiant.
everyone needs to read them, because they own.
yeah, Lizzy-wa, not much talked about on here. music mostly.
also, i’ve never heard of that book.
Oh, sorry Lotti-wa I don’t really know what it’s about…I kinda stopped reading it for now…got a bit bored with it…Oh, Serafina-la you like Ironside & Tithe & Valiant? I do too! They freaking rock! But I didn’t like Valiant as much as the other two. I’m getting The City of Bones tomorrow! Yay!
ah. it’s boring, then?
yay yay yay yay for city of bones! woot! woot!
Like, i said, Best Books Ever = the first midnighters book, Ironside, and the Mortal Instruments series (so far)
Cool…
I’ve read City of Bones and City of Ashes. But not Maximum Ride (although my sister really likes those books).
I’m not going to Warped Tour, but I think it would be really hilarious to see Katy Perry… XD Hahahaha.
Oh my Gosh, it would hecka be hilarious! Sheesh, though her songs are so annoying. But I really really wanna go to a Panic at The Disco concert when they start touring here again.
Aw, I like Katy Perry. She’s not my favorite or anything, but she is quite hilarious to listen to.
Panic at the Disco was here (in Seattle) a few months ago. I’m not a fan of theirs, so seeing their name everywhere and hearing all about them was slightly torturous. >.>
I wish I had gone to the Sub Pop 20th concert last weekend… that would have been fun.
Ya, my friend likes Katy Perry too but I don’t really…hmmm…I like Panic, they’re songs have some…strange lyrics but I like them. LoL.
I refuse to be anything but one of those sticklers who continues to call them Panic! At The Disco, even if I barely even listen to them. It’s kind of cute how they think they’re like The Beatles or something, when they so obviously are not. Little delusionists. *laughs*
Katy Perry’s okay. *shrug* i have no opinion. Saw an interview with her on Steven’s Untitled Rock Show a couple weeks ago, which was indeed fairly amusing.
yeah, not going to Warped Tour (actually, it probably already passed here. i don’t know these things) but i love watching the coverage from there on Fuse. Helps me with my touring vampire punks story.
….which is, btw, almost done! so close!
*dashes off to write*
You know what album rocks? Raise the Dead by Phantom Planet (who, incidentally, were just on tour with P!ATD). I really haven’t listened to any of their other stuff (they did that obnoxious OC theme song, i know that) but this album owns. Especially, like, Demon Daughters. and Dropped. and Do The Panic. And essentially most of the album, except, like track 5.
Randomly, i’m going to see Foo Fighters in two weeks. not quite sure why.
i feel left out. i dont listen to music much. 🙁
on the brite side, i just ordered City of Bones on Barns and Noble.com, so it shood be here soon!
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😀
I just went on an Amazon.com spree. I’m getting City of Ashes soon! (plus pre-ordering Bogus to Bubbly and Breaking Dawn)
hooray for the Mortal Instruments!!
on a related note, music is my life.
i must have this necklace.
http://shanalogic.com/item.php?item_id=1819&category_id=86
from awesome site of awesomeness.
that is the cutest, fawesomest necklace i have ever seen. MUST HAVE IT! can’t have it. parents put ban on shopping over internet after Amazon.com spree. 🙁
i know! i must have it too! but thankfully i think i will get it, as i have birthday money.
and okay, since i have to ask. Amazon spree? how much damage?
um, let’s just say they’re not letting me near amazon.com for a long, long, long, LONG time. did you see the egg and toast earings? with the little faces? sho fawesome!
Cool necklace Serafina-la! HeHe…I remember the great amazon spree of 04…we’re still recovering from the aftermath. LoL, jkjk I totally just made that up but it sounded cool. I raided amazon a couple months ago for my birthday…haven’t done any major damage since then though.
hmmmm…i don’t have any credit cards or anything so i’ve never gone on an amazon spree. if i want to buy stuff i ask parentals to and then give them the money after.
yeah, there’s lots of awesome stuff on there. expensive though….
Yeah…I don’t have a credit card so my dearest Dad takes care of that. *smiles innocently*
the most fawesome thing on that site is the sushi cushions!
Sushi Cushions? Woooowww…*cracks up laughing*. Okay I’m good now.
I’m bored.
love this song. it was totally the theme song to my novel. and then the fuse free download expired when they changed their website and i lost it. 🙁 I’m totally buying the CD just for this song though. I’m like that.
video’s okay too.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=qyI4I2t6Ngo
actually, the video’s pretty awesome.
The theme song of my novel was “If Only” by The Kooks. (Weirdly enough, the original version of the song that was on their demo fits my novel even better than the CD version. But I didn’t know that then.) And “Eddie’s Gun” was also pretty prominent, lyric-wise, in my novel…
So I’ve decided that one of the best songs to hear on the radio is “I’m Not Going To Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You” by the Black Kids. Do any of you know that song?
Never heard of it.
Yeah, that was the theme song at first, and looking at the lyrics, it’s also, really, really relevant to this one character, in that it basically could be about him.
Later on, I was obsessed with ‘It Goes Off’ by Skybombers, so i’d call that the overall theme, really.
So yesterday I ran around my house screaming because next month The Wombats are coming to Seattle and I’m going to see them!! :DDDDD Probably the only time they’ll ever come here, too, so I am still freaking out.
I called my best friend, who is currently at Alpha (that writing camp) in Pittsburg, and told her that she was coming because I’m getting her a ticket. She called me back and said that all the people there wanted to know what she’s doing that day because she kept saying “August 27th?!” to me. Hahahaha. I’m sure if she said “I’m going to see The Wombats” they would be a little freaked out. XP
But I supersuper excited. I will have seen my three favorite bands all in one year. And my most favorite band three times. (:
That’s awesome! Super lucky.
congrats! concerts are great awesome.
damn, a day spent reading fanfic has messed with my head. though i no longer sort of hate the drummer from Panic! At the Disco because he’s funny-looking, because it was some pretty good fic.
Uhm, okay? Ha,lol. I finished City of Bones today, I’ve been putting it off cuz I wanted to read it when I was in New York but I couldn’t help it. I’m like restraining myself from snatching up City of Ashes and like inhaling it in one day. But I don’t think I can wait the 5 days…gah. Oh well. But I LOVED it SO much. It totally pwns. I love Jace, he’s such a jerk but it’s funny…
woo City of Bones!!!!!!!
Jace Wayland….he’s such an idiot, and so great….
City of Ashes owns too.
I read a really good book yesterday called Blood and Chocolate, it was really good! When I went to bed I was tired but I ended up reading the 50 pages I had left because I wanted to read it so much…
Blood and Chocolate was pretty good…it had werewolves, which is ALWAYS a plus in my book…
I haven’t read Blood & Chocolate yet…I’ll have to do so sometime…I like werewolves too except for a certain idiot werewolf who’s name starts with a J and ends with an Acob. Blah, hate him. Anywho…has anybody read Road of The Dead by Kevin Brooks? It’s actually pretty good. I liked it.
*ignores Twilight comment*
Werewolves rock and are better and this is a fact. Yeah, B&C is good, especially because it’s a book where the girl gets to be the werewolf. Other good werewolf books: Unleashed by Kris Reisz (large amounts of drug use warning), the Wereling trilogy by Stephen Cole, Lonely Werewolf Girl by Martin Millar (not exactly YA).
Yeah, i think i read that last summer or something. pretty decent.
Well this is sad now, I don’t think I’ve read any of those books. I’ll check them out but I think my Dad’s gonna ban me from Borders cuz I read too fast so I go there a TON. But I’m like, Might as well cut out my heart! I don’t even have a library card. My library sucks sooooo bad.
Ha, it’s a curse. I was forced to libraries long ago, if i bought all the books i read there’d be no money to eat. now i pretty much only buy sequels or new releases from authors i like, stuff that i can’t wait for, or stuff that would take forever to get from the library. i just got a bunch of Borders gift certificates though, so i’m going on a spree!
yeah, i love my library. put stuff on hold online from anywhere in the county, bring home piles of books. i think it’s a good setup. don’t have to leave house, get piles of books.
Ha, that’s awesome. My library doesn’t work like that cuz it’s stupid. And there are like barely any YA books. It’s a disgrace. LoL, but yeah.
do u think they will come out with another book to continue the last days and peeps or make a movie ?
Um, Scott hasn’t said anything about it that I know of…
My library rox.
Far as I know, the whole Peeps/TLD thing is over now, and Scott-la’s writing Levithan. Doubt there’s going to be a movie, hope not, because this is the kind of awesome the movie industry would BUTCHER.
Yes, I’m anti-movie. Why do you ask?
Of course they would butcher it! Vampires never look as good on screen, and they’d probably ruin it by turning it into a dumb horror story that everyone makes fun of. Don’t do it to Peeps!
Regarding Road of the Dead by Kevin Brooks — I haven’t read that one yet, but I have read (I think) everything else he’s written. Or almost everything. I love his writing. Sooo much.
Plus Peeps is so full of yummy fact-filled goodness that would surely get lost. I fear an image of it as a generic sort of vampire novel.
I haven’t read anything else by Kevin Brooks, I don’t think.
He’s really good, I think. I own a lot of stuff by him because I liked his first book so much that I just go out and buy others by him without reading what they’re about…
Ha, nice loyalty he’s cultivated there.
Ha yeah, I’ve only read Road of the Dead so far but I want to get some more of his. I like his writing.
I’ve seen others of his books, but what can i say? I need werewolves in my books. urban fantasy ftw!
*goes to watch Buffy*
wow, did everyone die?
Apparently yes.
Seriously yes. Did the zombie apocalypse come and no one told me about it?
wow seriously. I’m talking to myself! for the last week!
everyone’s abandoned me. *sob*
In related news, I’m out of town and internet access til monday.
Woww. Everyone did die. >.> Usually when I come here there about a trillion posts to read through just to catch up.
I was really expecting some Breaking Dawn fangirl-ness and was prepared to abort my Mission of Leaving a Post if I ran into a single spoiler (since I’m only about 200-something pages in).
Wow. Again.
Oh-ho. In other not-vampire-related news, today was my first day of writing camp and it was relatively fun. (There are about 30 of us, and there is a grand total of five guys, not including the guy who is one of the people teaching us. I thought that was sort of funny/sad.)
I know. EVERYONE DIED!
…well except me and you.
No spoilers, promise.
Cool, writing camp. Wish I had one. And I really don’t know *any* guys who write, actually.
I don’t know any guys who write either, in case you count the guys in my camp as people I “know,” which I do not. None of them spoke to me — two of them, I swear, only spoke to each other.
First day in and already there are the People Who Eat Outside and the People Who Don’t. >.> Stupid cliques.
I did hear the Kooks playing in the background when I was there early, though. That was awesome. (:
I didn’t die! Just limited computer access! I’m still in NY.
Ohohohoh! I don’t know if I mentioned this after my initial freak out that the Wombats were coming to Seattle, but the concert ended up being one of those Are You On the List? things where you have to win a spot on the list and it’s free and all that.
And yesterday I got on the list, so I am super happy since my week at camp was crappy (next week better be better, glargh!), as was basically my entire summer!!!
Oooh, lucky. But not so lucky with the crappy summer.
Wait, you mean there’s a difference between death and lack of internet access? I wasn’t aware of that.
And then everyone died again.
Hey, I’ve got a radical idea. How about we talk about the Last Days?
….nah.
Seriously, I’m worrying the zombie apocalypse is everywhere except here.
I’m alive! And not at camp anymore. XD
The days until school starts are ticking down… (and the music videos for The Kooks are getting a little worse with each new single).
I FINALLY GOT MY COMPUTER FIXED!
YAY!!!
Yay?…YAY! Yes, I know! Oh my gosh I’ve been like dying without it! What’s been going on???
I honestly don’t know what’s going on…I haven’t been on for about 2 weeks because I made up a rule against it so I don’t know what’s going on…I don’t think I really should be commenting here right now anyways, but whatever…
Did you start school yet? I just started on Monday! I love it! My favorite class is art! But I have it A period so that means I have to be at school at 7:00 instead of 8:00 so I have to wake up really early. And I really like this guy in my PE class, but he’s a tenth grader…*sighs*
Surprisingly little.
Dude, school is August. *shiver* School never starts ’til after Labor Day here. HA! to all those people who were rubbing it in my face when they got out earlier. 😛
I’m guessing you’re a freshman, T&Z-la, right?
I would die if I had to get to school at 7. Getting there at 7:53 is bad enough.
Yep, I’m a Freshman. I have to get up SO early now, gah. Lucky, we started on August 18th. Ya, I think I might go into a really girly gushing rant about the guy that I like. But I think I’ll do that tomorrow cuz it’s late. Night.
Freshman….fun. Not. I’m a going to be a sophomore this year…
So what’s he like, then?
He’s got black hair that kinda swoops into his eyes and he’s always pushing it out of the way, normally that’d be screaming GET A HAIRCUT but on him it’s actually really cute. And speaking of his eyes, Oh my gosh, so amazing. They’re like this Ice Blue, like the bluest freakin’ blue I’ve ever seen. He’s got pretty light skin, not as light as me though. The sun is my enemy, always burning me. And he’s not like super tall, but he’s not short at all either. I’d guess about 5’7. And all week I haven’t seen him wear any color other than Black & red. Which is cool, I guess. Whatever style he likes. And it’s not like he’s wearing the same black shirt and the same black jeans everyday, cuz he’s not. They’re just the same color.This girl’s like “OMG, is he like emo or something?!” Uh, no. I think not. And he smiles a lot. It’s really cute. And he has actually TALKED to me. Me. And he doesn’t have that arrogant attitude that most cute guys have, cuz they know they’re cute. I don’t think he does. He’s just really down to Earth and fun to talk to.And I think I really like him. Cuz I mean, I don’t know him really well yet but it’s not like I just randomly thought “OH, that guys hot! I think I like him!” Yeah, no. Cuz I’ve actually had a conversation with him like multiple times. Oh wow. That was a really girly obsessive gushy moment. HeHe…
Hey, he sounds pretty hot. Feel free to gush. My life is boring so I like living vicariously through the lives of others. Hope he’s actually as cool as you think he is.
I am of the opinion that short hair is evil. So many guys get haircuts that ruin them….Yes, there are a few guys who shouldn’t have long hair, and yes, there is a point where it’s too long, but still….short hair is never a good idea, in my opinion. Longish hair is so very much better.
I love black clothes…best color ever. I really don’t have enough black. *looks down at black t-shirt. which actually also has red on it, in the form of a bleeding heart. okay, it’s really not that emo. really it isn’t.*
Alas, my social life is just pathetic. Yeah….town full of idiots…. I have a team of my friends who’ve decided it would be a good idea to set me up with this random guy, which kind of disturbs me….there’s too many idiots in this town though, seriously. need a better gene pool.
Haha, yeah. I really hope he’s as cool as I think he is too! Gah. This group of girls(same ones that think he’s emo) came up to me and are all “You like him don’t you?” and I didn’t even get to answer them which I would have lied through my teeth anyway, but they’re all “Don’t even bother. You’re way too preppy for him. He probably already thinks you’re annoying.” and then they walk off. 1:Who the heck are they to get into my personal life when they don’t even know me?!
2: I HATE stereotypes. I am not preppy. I never was, and never will be preppy. WHY ARE PEOPLE CALLING ME PREPPY?!?!? *sigh*
Anywho though, I like long hair too but if the guy can’t pull it off it makes it really pathetic. But if he can, then all the better. He CAN pull it off. Ha, yeah…gushing away! Rofl. Wow, I would kill my friends if they tried to do that to me! That sucks, stupid idiot guys. Most of the guys here are idiots too, but there’s the few, the worthy, the sane. HaHa, well maybe not sane, but actually competent and sweet.
Well, the guy they chose isn’t an idiot, he’s sort of someone I was vaguely friends or at least aquaintences with, talked to him a lot last year, I mean, he’s got good taste in music but I don’t like him and he’s sort of popular and I totally am NOT and it’s really wierd but i don’t know it’s all messed-up and weird and i really have no idea about anything….
I have this theory about people who need to see the world in black-and-white (or emo and preppy and ect) and how they’re the most likely to become serial killers. it’s totally likely.
But seriously, let’s hear it for lying through our teeth! I love that expression for some reason.
Really though I hate people who think they can randomly give you advice or decide they’re involved in your life when you barely know them, or you hate them. Like dude, we’re NOT FRIENDS. Why would I talk to you?
Yeah I dunno, guys who can’t pull it off are just funny, and guys who can are hot, so long hair for everyone. Short haircuts are no fun. 🙁
Seriously though, very small population of the cool ones in my town. *shakes head* I put it this way. I go to a high school where I became famous after I dyed my hair pink. Oh den of conformity and Abercrombie-Fitch models. I just can’t wait to return to you.
/sarcasm.
Really, it seems like there’s just enough cool guys in this town for all my friends except me to have boyfriends. Ha. We joke that I’m about the eighty-ninth wheel now. Passed third wheel a looong time ago.
Hey, I’m not looking for sane guys. I’d scare them.
Yeah but good luck with Long Black Haired Wears All Black But Is Not Emo guy.
Wow that was sort of long.
“Long Black Haired Wears All Black But Is Not Emo guy.”??? Oh My gosh that’s perfect! LoL, I do actually know his name, just didn’t wanna put it on here just in case….*looks around nervously* People find out stuff. Like seriously! I was wearing black shorts, a green top and a black & white striped scarf and people are all like Dress much? It’s not winter! And I’m like Really? I hadn’t noticed. They can deal. But yeah…not like I care, it’s funny to see people’s reactions. But dude it’s a SCARF. I don’t see why they should care! Jeezum. People like sticking their noses in other people’s business. But yeah…I’m just really quiet and try to go unnoticed yet somehow, people ALWAYS know who I am. Even people that I have no clue who they are whatsoever. Makes me wonder if there’s like a website for stalkers dedicated to me that I don’t know about…but yeah. So like everyday this week these like seniors and juniors have been coming up and talking to me really obnoxiously. The only sincere person that I’ve talked to besides my friends is “Long Black Haired Wears All Black But Is Not Emo guy.” Who is, as I said, a sophomore. Woohoo for older guys. (Ha, by like a year)
Oh yeah…there’s this one guy who I kinda like who is 91 days older than me and therefore a grade above me…and yes, I do know when his birthday is. I’m actually looking forward for school to start, so I don’t care that all my classmates are idiots. As long as the teachers are mildly sane (as in sane enough to be insane) I’ll live. Oh and on the last day of school last year I decided to wear my winter boots and everyone thought I was weird or something….I don’t see where they got THAT impression…Then my friend saw me and was all “Have you joined a Harry Potter gang?”…and I was all “No, that was yesterday. Today I’m trying to get to Narnia through the lockers.” And I said that with a straight face. Yeah…so people think I’m weird for NO REAL REASON…you know, other than the fact that they met me. Also, people ALWAYS know who I am due to the fact that I usually wear really weird shoes and I don’t TRY to get noticed by the idiots called my classmates, it’s just that they are incredably nosy…except I AM the person who has a little permenant record for each of them containing all personal information about them…and no, I’m not a stalker, just a really organized person who observes things…
Way to put it, andrea-la.. “a really organized person who observes things…”
…Sure. We’ll go with that.
Ok, so I’m even more pathetic. Right now Im kinda falling for a guy who lives ACROSS THE OCEAN (an online friend) AND he’s a Senior! For those of you who don’t know what that means, he’s in grade 12. I’m in grade 8. AND he has a gf. Yea… pathetic little me… *sigh*
Hey, with me and my friends, we don’t refer to guys by their names even IRL. I love giving people nicknames. It’s my hobby.
Ha, well, I wear sweatshirts all through summer, plus long pants. Most of them are black. Today I went to the beach wearing all black.
I REFUSE TO SUCCUMB TO YOU, SEASONAL APPROPRIATE DRESS!
For some reason people have issues with scarf-wearing, I got the same thing when I used to wear scarves. Unrelatedly sounds like a cool outfit though.
Ah, random upperclassmen poking into your life. It’s like they’ve got nothing better to do.
Yeah, my house is on a prominent road in our town and there’s the hair so everyone knows who I am and where I live—it’s kind of creepy. Yeah.
Nosy people suck.
Upperclassmen do not suck, however. Sometimes.
Ouch, Emily-wa. Many adversaties…
Also, that Narnia line is pretty great Andrea-la.
I wish I had combat boots….random but true.
LBHWABBINE Guy. Now THAT’S what I call a catchy acronym.
Tally & Zane: I hate when people do that. The getting into your life, and the steriotyping (the later mostly). The girls around me live in Hollister, and I’m far from THAT preppy and like hot topic, so they call me emo (my physical appearance and coloring does NOT help me on that front). And my friend who lives in Hot Topic calls me preppy because I’m not as ‘hard-core’ about that stuff as she is. Guess I’m a half-label *shrugs*.
Andrea-la: Love the line about Narnia and the people meeting you. Reminds me so much of the kind of things that would go down with my friends and me. And I guess the organized file thing can sound a…bit stalker-ish, but I’m guessing that it comes in handy tons
Emily-wa: All the good guys really are unatainable, huh? Whether they live across the ocean and are four years older, or just simply refuse to aknowledge your existance *cough, cough*.
Sarafina Zane: I’m a big sweatshirt and jeans wearer, and love dark colors, so seasonally-appropriate attire isn’t really my thing (although, I am obsessed with flip-flops), either.
Hum, it’s just too freaking hot here to wear that stuff in the summer. I’d like die of a heat stroke. No joke. In Gym class today we were supposed to be doing a jogging/walking thing around the track, but the teachers are said that if you were at all interested in track, or just liked to run then you could run it. So of course I, being me, decide to run. Well out of like 70 people, only 2 others besides me ran. Can you guess who one of those two was??? YEP. HIM. And dude, he is so freaking fast. I mean, I could totally own him in a sprint, but he’s got me beat in endurance. Seriously, we ended up running like neck & neck for like 10 laps. Which is two and a half miles. And like I said, I’m a sprinter so I was practically like dead afterwards. I was all trying to catch my breath, gasping for air, while he looks like he’s ready to do it again, NOT EVEN BREATHING HARD. And everybody’s looking at us like we’re crazy. And now my Gym teacher is trying to recruit us both for track, like hounding us. Seriously. Yeah, and I think that’s the fastest I’ve run consecutively. I’m so proud.LoL. It was really cool though. And it’s totally awesome that we have something in common. Well…at least I think so…hehe. My friends are convinced that I should just go up to him and ask him if he has a girl friend and if he’d be interested. I can NOT do that though. I just can’t. I’m terrified. And I can’t face my fears! My black haired, blue eyed fear. Really, what am I sposed to say?! Hi, guess what?! You make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Isn’t that like totally awesome?! Yeah, no. Not gonna happen. I’m not like that. What if I look pathetic??? Jeez, and my one of my evil “friends”(note the quotation marks, for dramatic effect. She really is my friend, known her since 3rd grade, and I trust her) says that if I don’t do it, she’s threatening to do it for me! HOW IMMATURE WOULD I LOOK THEN?! OH MY GOSH. This is literally going to drive me insane…well…more insane. I don’t know what to do. I’d stick to admiring from afar, if it didn’t kill me to do so. I don’t feel like dying of embarassment freshman year, when I’ve still got three more years to go at that school…
Can’t sleep. Insomnia taking over. Gah.
hmmmmmmmm……i don’t really understand boy problems, but why NOT ask him out? And yeah, having someone ask him out for you IS seriously ummm….imature. I just woke up so don’t expect me to say anything that makes sense….
UGH….why do SO MANY people CONSTANTLY think I’m going to join a Harry Potter gang?????? Whenever I wear black they seriously ask me that….usually I say something really random…like that one time….with the bassoon playing aliens…good times, good times…..Because whenever I wear black, it’s because I DONT HAVE BAND THAT DAY!!! Which is why I wear black on certain days and not others….gosh, why can’t people FIGURE THAT OUT…I mean, I memorized all of THEIR schedules, but they didn’t even memorize MINE??? And yes, I do have a copy of everyone’s schedule in my grade at my school…and no, i am NOT stalking them…I’m writing down what I observe….
whats the harry potter gang?? and whats it have to do with wearing black?
Oooh, see, T&Z-la, that’s where I’ve got this thing where I never tell any of my friends any details about any guy I like so they can’t do that to me. I’ve got one friend who I know would never tell anyone, but no one else. Mainly because I could NEVER just go up to a guy and be all ‘so, you got a girlfriend hey maybe we should go out.’ Because I have crippling fear of rejection!
Are there many Harry Potter gangs at your school, Andrea-la? I know people who used to wear HP robes to school, but I’m not allowed to use that blackmail…
I have enough trouble memorizing my own schedule…let alone my friends’, and forget my enemies….too much work, personally.
See, I can’t run at all. Because I’m lazy and out of shape and couldn’t care less. So I would be the ones opting to walk. But hey, you’ve got something in common! Maybe you’ll both join track or something.
I freak people out a lot by wearing sweatshirts. They’re like, “AREN’T YOU DYING? YOU CAN’T BE COLD.” And I just enjoy the fuzzy sweatshirt and ignore the haters.
Seriously, that’s where labels get stupid. Take it from a “goth hippie.”
HeHe, shall I start listing off reasons NOT to ask him out??? Actually, no I won’t. That would take too long. I WANNA JOIN A HARRY POTTER GANG! And what does that have to do with black anyway? But yeah…very observent.
HeHe…wow. Yeah…I never used to tell ANY of my friends…I guess I just got a little over-excited. The only ones that know though are my really close friends(the four of them, ha.) And my friend that I met on vacation at the writing camp in NY, I text her all the time and it’s not like she can do anything anyway… Now can anyone tell me WHY everytime I told anyone their reactions were all the same?! Always “AW! Oh my gosh that’s so cute!” Yet it is of course, unintentional cuteness, and I don’t see how it’s cute!
Yeah, hey, I’m always good at coming up with reasons asking someone out would be a bad idea…i can be a very negative person. Plus, it’s only been like a week or two, right? Give it some time to get to know him a little bit more.
I’ve got one friend I know will never tell anyone anything, all my other friends would do something like that—try to talk to him or something.
I hate the word ‘cute’. It’s a personal thing. I really dislike it.
Yeah, I was planning on giving it a little time, give or take like a couple years…haha. Ya, I’m a chicken. Oh well. YaY for pessimism! LoL…
Hey, nothing wrong with cowardice. You’ll never get rejected!
But yeah, helps to know the guy for at least a month first…or two months…or years…
So are we still on this subject of boys and school?
I don’t start school until September 2nd (10th grade! Woo-hoo!), and so I currently only know, uh, five boys who go to my school because they were in junior high with me, and one of them is one of my best friends.
Oh! This is my anecdote about boys and school, which is from way back in June, but whatever.
So I was with my friends and we were on this walk in the woods and it was the last day of school (or, uh, first day of summer, sort of, by then) and my best friend Aaron was like “So, what are you looking forward to in high school, you guys?”
And so me and my two other friends (girls) all sort of looked at each other and were like “Oh yeah… I can’t wait to, uh, take that honors class, you know? That’ll be fun!” etc.
Then later that night we (as in, the three girls, because Aaron was not invited to sleep over, har har) were getting ready for bed and we just looked at each other and were like “Yeah, actually, I’m just looking forward to the boys. Not the honors class.”
So that’s all I have to contribute as I am not yet in school (although I will get to see the sophomore boys on Thursday at registration, sooo)…
HeHe, I wish you luck in that!Really, I’m glad that I don’t have any other classes with Him(You should know which “him” I’m talking about) besides Gym, cuz he’s like a major distraction. Rofl.
Ugh! I have the most retarded English assignment ever!(stupid honors class! I curse you to rot in the fiery pits of greenland!) I have to “survey” a dictionary, and write a 5 mile long essay about it. It’s SO boring! And it’s due monday. And then on tuesday we have to survey the freaking library and write an essay on how it’s organized and all that crap. Oh My Gosh. It’s going to take FOREVER. Ah. Okay, rant over.
YOU’RE SO LUCKY!!! I can’t wait for school to start so that I can get rediculous english class assignments!!!
No, I’m not lucky! This English teacher is so boring and monotone-voiced that I’m gonna end up hating my favorite class!
lol….i’ve researched all of my teachers (this is NOT stalking…but I already do have files on all of them) and my english teacher is gonna ROCK!! WHOOHOO!! Yeps…she gives LOTS of homework, so I’m excited…I love homework…
I love English. I do not love homework. I have too much going on, sports, drama, writing, art, school, piano, and homework. I decide not to enjoy homework. That is why I spend my lunch doing my math hw. Almost all my friends have 2nd lunch and I have 1st so it sucks. Really sucks. Only 1 of my friends has it with me.
there are TWO lunches? okay, now THAT’S weird….but I go to a “small” school, so we don’t have that issue. I love homework, even though I’m busy. I’ve got triathlon training, two instruments, writing, blogging, and EVERY SINGLE MUSIC ENSEMBLE IN THE SCHOOL. Plus I’m trying out for the school musical this year…and the basketball team…and that’s on top of triathlon training, which is ON TOP OF school work. Which I am a perfectionist with. And yeah, during spare I’m gonna do homework…but wait a second, you said MATH homework? LUCKY!! I want math homework SO BADLY!!! I’ve been missing math class SO MUCH during the summer!
My math homework is really easy so I usually finish it at school. I’m not a fan of math. I love English and Literature and Art.
I LOVE math!!!
Um, wow, my school has four lunches. I think. Fourth period, fifth period, sixth period, and seventh.
Of course, I get seventh. The ONLY ONE later than I had last year. At least this year my best friend has the same lunch as me this year, last year I had NO ONE and sat with random people doing homework and listening to headphones the whole time.
HONORS CLASSES ARE EVIL AND THEY WILL DESTROY YOUR SOUL. This is a TRUE FACT. I know. Ninth grade was my personal Hell. Tenth grade will probably just be general hell. I have Honors Chem first period. I am going to DIE. I am not a morning person.
But seriously, the homework? NOT COOL. Ah, Bio. You were…several kinds of horrible.
Ha, capt. cockatiel, I start 10th grade on September 3rd…wait, so does your middle school go up to the 9th grade or something? Cuz for me 10th grade is the second year in the high school.
Yeah, there’s certainly a much bigger selection of guys though.
I hate math. I am a word person. I am not so good with teh numbers. Not at all. Math’s my only non-honors class. Except, you know, I’m still somehow sort of in advanced math. It is weird and makes no sense.
English is probably my favorite subject because you sort of do nothing, but I hated my last year’s English teacher.
History’s my best subject though, because I am mysteriously crazy-good at History.
My best subjects in order are English, History, Science, Spanish, Math. And throw Art in there somewhere, cuz basically you just have to show up and participate. Math is the only class that somehow I always end up getting a B in. This time I WILL get an A! I will! Gosh, I despise math. But my Math teacher’s cool, so it won’t be too bad. I just got home from shopping. Fun. Hmmm…so now I have nothing to do besides procrastinate my English assignment.
Serafina Zane: Where I live we have Junior High which is 7-9th grade and then high school. (Haha, this way I don’t have to be in the same school with my siblings as much as I would if HS was 9-12.)
I have an Honors English/World History block this year (I’m not so worried about the English part, since I was in Honors English back in 7th grade, but I suck at history on top of disliking it beyond belief). My best friend tried to get me to sign up for Honors Bio/Chem with her and I was like “Heck no, I do not want to TRY in science.” So I’m just in regular biology, which I will dislike and I know it… I am SO much more of an English person. Honestly, I wish that I could just have English every period of the day. D: I don’t mind French and Art, but I really could live without history and math. Or taking PE again. (Lucky for me I only need one more semester of it since I took it all last year and that counted for high school credit.)
My school has, uh… two lunches. I’m hoping that I don’t get the one at, like, 10AM. What the heck.
Yeah, I have the one at 10 am and I’m never hungry then, so I stopped bringing lunch and just eat at home since school ends at 2:40. Random side note: skinny jeans are so much more comfortable than they look. It’s funny how it works that way. It’s 5:38 pm and I still haven’t started that essay. Dang it. Ah, well I should probably do it now.
Only good skinny jeans are comfy. They have to actually fit you or else… not so good. XP I have these pinstriped skinny jeans that are very comfy. (:
Hmmm I’m wearing skinny jeans right now that are almost black and pretty comfy, except when i bought them they were about ten inches too long so I cut them off and this means everything is a bit too low.
See, if i don’t eat lunch I’d be starving by 2:50, plus by the time I get a ride home or finish walking it’s usually after four.
Also, I would totally rather have early lunch than late, if only for total ability to do all your homework because i am not good with teh procrastination.
Hey, at least as of today i’m done with 1/3 of my summer reading! now onto Hemingway.
Yeah bio was hell but I kind of like science so it was a different type of hell where you feel really accomplished afterward.
Hmm…my district it’s elementry 1 (actually now it’s kindergarden, but i went in a weird year where kindergarden was in the high school) -5, middle school 6-8, and high school 9-12.
Seriously though, i was almost insane after five years in one school, seven would kill me.
Good luck with that essay, T&Z-la. Once you actually start it…
I also have a pair of almost-black skinny jeans, which I love. I pretty much live in denim.
And if anyone here need procrastination tips, ask me; I’m a *total* expert, lol. But seriously, I know things to do, and have got a million excuses ;o).
I did pretty much all my summer work. Read the first book, did the report, did the pre-report for the second book, and am half-way through it. Wanted to do some of the (optional–I’m a nerd, haha) math packet so I didn’t forget everything I’ve learned, but haven’t gotten to any of it and don’t think I will. For the book I’m reading you have to put post-its with your thoughts in, and they told us how many to use, and I usually hate doing that, but I’ve already went over the number and am only half way through (I’m quite opinonated.). Do you guys think the number’s more of a maximum, minimum, or exact requirement?
Really hope that honors classes aren’t as hell-ish as they sound. I’m in a few, and am planning on a lot of extra curriculars.
Yeah, the skinny jeans that I got are black. I’m gonna wear em tomorrow, along with a black and grey striped top and a black jacket with purple checkerboard on the front, and black converse. HaHaHa, people are so gonna call me emo, and then I’ll laugh. Laughing is good. I finished my essay! YaY! Ha, yeah Honors classes suck. I learned that this week. Not that I wasn’t fore-warned.
I’ve never had required summer reading… so I just get to read and do whatever the heck I want all summer long. XP I used to have to do two reports on whatever books I wanted, but I don’t even have to do that now.
I don’t mind Honors if it’s English, because whatever. It’s reading and writing; easy. But I’m worried about history, because I hate history, and Honors? Ugh. >.<
I have been told by my brother that in this Honors block thinger I’ll have to do a Greek play. I was like “What? That is not English. If I wanted to act, I would go out for a play.” I hate when you have to do weird stuff like that for classes it has nothing to do for and then be graded on how well you did it.
Like in my other English classes in jr. high we would make posters and stuff, but it was about the content and not how good it looked — because it wasn’t an ART class. But now I have to do a play? Gaaaahhhrrrr.
I have my striped skinny jeans and also just dark-ish denim ones. (Ha, I also bought purple corduroy pants a few days ago.) The striped ones cost me a fortune, though… But I loves them. (:
Also, I have never understood black converse. I have green ones and grey ones (and ratty old navy ones that are verrrry faded). And white high tops that I did designs on myself.
But black? Ehh. I guess they’re classic, but still.
Hey, no meanness to black converse. They are the classic. They just are. Ageless and awesome.
*is wearing black converse right now*
Yeah, I bought my new shoes at the beginning of the summer so they’d be sort of worn out by the time school started.
I do also have Converse knockoff slipons that are either brown or green, depending on the light and color of your other clothes.
….and those are two of my three pairs of shoes devoid of skulls.
Also, dude, no required summer reading? LUCKY. I mean, I never start til the last week, but you’ve always got stuff for Honors classes, here. This year it’s Black Like Me for History (done) and something Hemingway (started and dragging so dully) and something else (not started) for English. Plus the math packet, which I finished cuz it was so easy this year. Hooray for non-honors math!
Oh, I rule at procrastination. Hardcore. I’m probably procrastinating something right now. Oh yeah, Hemingway. Probably something else too.
And again I am wearing my almost-black skinny jeans. The ink’s starting to wear off from where I drew stars and lightning bolts on them last year in History cuz I was so bored.
But yeah. Honors classes. Hell. Honors students. Whiniest people EVER. Aside from me, of course.
Yep, black converse = classics. (says the person that just got hers yesterday, lol) I have black hightops, navy lowtops, white lowtops with silver stars, white hightops with this weird purplish design on them, and black lowtops with white and red flowers on them. I like converse. Vans are cool too, I have white with different shades of blue polka dots, white and pink checkered, and like white with black flamey patterns and these brown van boots with fuzziness at the top and skulls on the side. I don’t get anything to do over the summer, thank goodness. I WAS called emo, do to my amazing outfit. It’s so hilarious. I LOVE doing stuff like art and plays so I’m not complaining about the stuff in class, it makes it so much more interesting seeing as the teacher is so BORING. I have like barely any homework today, I’m so happy.
Nice when people are predictable. But seriously, one day’s outfit doesn’t make you preppy or emo or whatever. Seriously.
Yeah, I’ve got some nice Vans sneakers, checkerboard ones but not like the slipon kind. I do have some really great slipons though, with really great skulls….they’re colorful and shiny and great.
And the brown converse knockoff slipons, some other shoes with skulls, and pretty much nothing else. Not a big shoe person.
Mostly the black converse, which I’m still wearing.
My LORD, I’m 100 pages into the Hemingway, and it’s SO SO SO SO SO VERY BORING. Seriously. NOTHING HAPPENS.
Oh, I love shoes. I KNOW! Exactly what I was trying to explain!But nobody listens to me….*shakes head* It’s crazy. I’m not even going to attempt to understand the way their minds work. Nope nope nope. Yeah, seriously. This guy walked by and is all “‘sup, emo chick?” And I just crack up laughing and everybody turns and looks at me…then keep walking.
Okay, that’s kind of just plain funny.
” ‘sup emo chick”? *lols*
‘Tis true…sad but true, yet very amusing.
Sometimes the stupidity of others is infuriating. Sometimes, it’s just plain funny.
HaHa, yep. Today was club rush at school, meaning all the different clubs had tables set up outside at lunch so you could sign up for whichever ones you wanted. I found out that HE has the same lunch as me cuz of that! He was out there looking at all the tables and like, it was awesome. So I joined Drama Club(heck yes! I love drama.) And of course The Writer’s club, duh. And today went awesomely.
Hmmm you need to be a lot more productive to join clubs at my school, it’s kind of more “show up early for school and listen to the unintelligible morning announcements and then show up at the first meeting”.
Also, you know, get your random drug testing forms in, but that’s a whole different issue. *eye roll*
Yeah, the only club I’m even sort of in is the literary magazine, and that doesn’t even meet at the school.
Stupid high school not having a photography club.
Drug testing forms??? Wow. That’s…wow. We don’t have to do anything like that! I guess I’m lucky. I learned today that hightop converse are not fun to run in, nope nope nope.
Yeah, you have to be in the school’s random drug testing pool if you want to do a sport, a club, or even get a parking spot. It’s really sort of fascist. Because honestly, who doesn’t love peeing in a cup to get in the chess club? Not that I’m actually in the chess club, but they seem like a non-drug-abusing example.
But hey. At least in the middle school it’s voluntary. /sarcasm. Unless, say, you want to do a sport. When you’re ELEVEN.
Then again, I know kids who were smoking in the fifth grade, so perhaps our town has a *bit* of a drug problem. Just sort of…the locker-sniffing dogs rarely catch anyone though. Except for those kids drinking in the band room…
Ummm, let’s not talk about this.
They are pretty impractical running shoes though.
Talk about what??? Hehe. They are, and now I’ve figured that out because of the genius that I am. LoL. Today was sooooooooooooooo boring. And it’s 9:00, and I haven’t finished my homework. Gah. I did take an awesome picture of my eye though. It looks hecka cool. Rofl, random. I’m so full of energy right now, it’s odd. I can’t really concentrate on anything….I’m tired though, slept like 2 hours last night. Damne-vous insomnia. Damne-vous! HeHeheheHe………I don’t feel so good. My eyes hurt. I’m tired. I’m hyper. Not a fun combo. Gr. Oh well, what’s up?
My throat hurts.
That sucks….
Okay, waking up at 5:30am is FUN! But don’t do so to watch the sunrise when the day before there was a thunderstorm….because chances are, it’s still really windy. And you wont wanna go outside, much less ride your bike to the pier so that you can jump off when the sun rises. So now I’m kinda sick (I’ll blame it on my stupid idea of waking up at 5:30 yesterday) which means I can eat toast and tea all day!!! And that isn’t the best part….I dragged my friend along with me so now she’s probably sick! Uh huh. Next time, I think I’ll bring a towel/jaket….
Oh eww early. I’m savoring my 8:45 wakeup call…next week I’ll have to be up by 6:40. Or, you know, more realistically, 7.
I lovelovelove the early morning, as long as I got like hours of sleep. I woke up at like 8 today, and will need to start waking up at like 6:30 though it always goes up to 7.
I woke up at 8:00 this morning too! I like waking up early (this is because of swim team….) but not too early….NEVER before 5:00am….usually.
See, I’m a stay-up-til 3 AM person, so the morning is my mortal enemy. I’d rather be up really late than up really early.
In summer i get up at 8:45, during the year school starts at 7:53, so I say I’ll get up at 6:45 and just get up at 7.
lol our sunrises in the the winter arnt until like 6:30 7:00 so Im usually awake for them
yeah…i like the sunrise….unless it is raining and windy and i get wet….lol….
Ugh. I got up at 5:30 today. As opposed to my usual 7:30 during the school year. Went to sleep at like….3:00. Yaaaayyyyy. I can’t wait till this weekend. 3 day weekend! YES! Labor Day, I thankith thee. LoL. Hum….I’m blasting Panic, and doing a spanish project, and typing this, and texting. Oh, and breathing. Maybe. Ah, the wonders of multi-tasking.
fun…i’m bored. and tired. i think i’ll go to bed now. even though it’s only 9:30…yeah…
Hey, sleep deprivation is fuuuuuunnn.
I can’t remember the last time I saw the sun rise. Probably related to sleeping late…and thick curtains.
Multitasking is amazing. Twenty tabs in Firefox, blaring music, the TV on in one room and the radio in the other (seperate rooms from the music), possibly music in another part of the house, a story (or a few…) open in Word, texting, possibly reading…..I rule at multitasking. That’s essentially my whole summer there.
Also, you forgot heart beating. 🙂
What song were you listening to?
See, this weekend depresses me. Cuz school doesn’t start til next Wensday but my parents are off so my awesome home-alone days are cut down. To ONE. *sob* Summer, I shall miss thee.
Weirdly, cuz of school not starting til later, I’ve never really had a Labor Day vacation or anything, or really cared about Labor Day at all.
I don’t know if I’ve *ever* seen a sun rise. I go to bed really late–or early, in the morning that is, depends on how you look at it–and wake up super late, or early in the afternoon, when I have it my way, lol.
My multitasking can sometimes be complicated, but at the moment it’s quit simple: typing, thinking, sitting, breathing, and procrastinating. The second, fourth, and last are ones I frequently do.
My school also, thankfully, hasn’t started yet. But I have less than a week, and still so much that I wanted to do before summer ended.
Dude, Serafina-Zane you beat me in multi-tasking at the moment. I was listening to Camisado. And then The Only Difference Between Martyrdom & Suicide is Press Coverage. Then Time to Dance…I won’t go on, I was listening to like all of them that I have. Which is a lot. I wish my school started late. Darn. Oh well. HaHaHa, it was SO funny today. Okay so this kid named John was all joking around with me and my friends and was like “Oh yeah, the ladies love me cuz my HAR,” Meaning hair, but he said it hecka funny. But he did have flipping awesome hair, I have to admit. Emphasis on the *did* part, lol. Today he came and it was cut hecka short cuz he’s in the nrotc class for pe so he can’t have longish hair anymore and we’re like, “Oh My Gosh John, your HAR!” And he was all sulky about it, and is like “shut up…it’s not funny!…ok maybe it is! But still, shut up!” And we’re like, “Ya kinda had it coming!” and it was so funny. We were just teasing kiddingly though, and he knew it but still. Hilarious. Shame though that the awesome HAR had to suffer.
That’s essentially been my whole summer. I’m gonna be deaf before I hit thirty.
Oooh, I like Camisado. Good song.
TRAGIC HAIRCUT OF DOOM. Guys should not get haircuts. NEVER. HAIRCUTS ARE EVIL. And designed to take away my pretty eyecandy. 🙁
lol….i’m good at multitasking…like during exam times, I can listen to music, study for exams, and be pretending to be in bed sleeping all at the same time! And that’s at 1:00am…
EEEEEEEE!!!!!!
I love panic i really like their new CD though I only have their older one, oh well i love that one just as much
I love both. My favorites in order at the moment are:
1. The Only Difference…
2. There’s a good reason these tables are numbered…
3. Camisado
4. Time to Dance
5. Build God, Then we’ll talk
6. Nine in the Afternoon
7. Pas de Cheval
8. Behind the Sea
9. I Write Sins…
10. But it’s Better if you Do
11. London Beckoned…
12.I Constantly Thank God for Esteban
13. That Green Gentleman
And well yeah….I like lots of them. National Panic at the Disco day is coming up! LoL. And yes, evil haircuts!
lol
HaHaHa, oh yeah.
I’m not a big Panic! fan, the only songs of thiers on my mp3 player (I think) are Camisado, Northern Downpour and Nine in the Afternoon. That Green Gentleman might be on there too. And I do have a lingering fondess for the two big singles from their first album because of memories stuff and nostalgia.
Yeah, the best multitasking is at 1-3 AM. That’s where my life happens, yo.
Haircuts. What can be said? They’re the Supreme Evil.
Oh my gosh, have you guys ever heard of Alex Evans???He’s from Canada. His photography is totally awesome. And so is his clothes line.
Hmmm, no, can’t say I ever had. What sort of photography/clothes?
School starts tomorrow. D: But I have seen the Wombats and said hello to them, so that was at least a nice end to my summer. >.> First in line, right up front at the stage. (: Shook their hands, too.
I don’t think I’m going to join any clubs at school. I mean, we have a SPAM club — no thanks. I mean, what the heck?
I am not a Panic at the Disco fan at all… >.>
I’ll put a link to Alex Evans DeviantArt so you can see his photography on there and to his store.
http://saturdayx.deviantart.com/
His username’s Saturdayx
and his store is here:
http://heartbreakerclothing.net/
If you click on Old Store, the clothes are cooler.
Sounds cool, Capt. Cockatiel. Hmm…apparently Firefox doesn’t believe in cockatiels. Interesting.
I have one day left of freedom! I’m making cookies and crying uncontrollably…well not really. I will at least make cookies.
Some pretty nice t-shirts, indeed.
I listen to some of Panic!’s music but love to make fun of them. Because it’s so easy and so fun.
Annnd now I need to finish my summer reading Lit Log junk….at least I finally finished all the books…………only ten chapters left of notes!
*sighs happily* All is right in the world. Reasons:
1. I commented on Alex Evans’ DeviantArt and he replied back.
2. I bought some awesome shirts off his website.
3. My new straightener is amazing and I haven’t burnt myself using it yet.(That’s a miracle.)
4. I’m currently enjoying a spiderman popsicle.(Oh yeahah, cuz I’m just cool like that.)
Yep, life is goooood.
LoL.
Ha, congrats. My world, not so great, cuz, youknow, it’s the last day of summer. But I did finish all my homework already.
Ah, my world just keeps getting better and better. HE(the he that I was gushing about earlier) is in Drama Club with me! Yaaaayyyyyssss. HaHaHa, yeah watch, tomorrow my world will crash and burn. I have no doubts. LoL. Ewwwww, school. Just ew. This is my 3rd week back. Ugh.
Ha, congrats. Here’s where I could make a bad ‘drama’ club pun, but I don’t have the heart.
Having my usual oh-my-god-I-have-to-go-to-SCHOOL tommorrow freakout….also waiting for the pink dye in my hair to set…
This year I’m totally in denial. I have to go to SCHOOL tommorrow. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
See, I always freak out completely and horribly before, then go freaky-calm like the minute I’m in the building. It’s odd. But yeah…the nausea…the tight throat…not fun.
PANIC! But not, like, you know, at the disco. That’d be more fun.
I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
*sigh*
At least I’ll go back with fabulous fuscia hair. And I won’t be a freshman this time. But still. *poundy heart thing* I’m secretly a really neurotic overworrier who hides behind cynical indifference.
I HAVE TO GET UP EARLY TOMMORROW.
Well actually I got up at seven today, but still. I have to get up early! The horror!
The cookies I made today were pretty good though…realized suddenly we were out of eggs and used banana instead, which meant I got some really awesome banana chocolate chip cookies.
Sigh. Panic. Ugh. *eyes tearing up from hair dye fumes* *or maybe the volume at which I’m playing The Hives*
Speaking of panic….Do the Panic by Phantom Planet is totally my official summer song this year…I loves it so much (the whole album really) but it’s just such a great song. Pretty cool video too. I’ve probably already linked to it on here. I WILL DO SO AGAIN BECAUSE I AM OBSESSED.
The lyrics online are totally epically wrong though. I have NO IDEA why. They’re right in the liner notes.
http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?artist=508205&vid=230503
Listened to it about twenty times today, along with the rest of Raise the Dead. Which, as I may have mentioned, is a great album.
SCHOOL RETURN PANIC.
See, there’s a reason I hide my neuroses.
Ummm, that was longer than I expected. Sorry. Feel free to ignore all the PANICKING.
I love how panicking has a k in it. It looks so cool. Panic is nowhere near as cool a word in comparison.
….the hair dye may be melting my brain.
HaHaHa, well I hope your brain isn’t melting due to that…lol. I LOVE that song. The only reason I’d ever heard it was cuz you put the link to it earlier, and I really liked it so I bought. Thanks! Can you seriously use bananas to make cookies??? That’s weird! But cool. I made a deviantart account the other day. I don’t have anything up on it yet though, due to my non-existent scanner. I’m going over to my friend’s house this Friday to use hers though, then we’re crashing the raquet club and playin’ tennis. Ha, I suck so bad at tennis! Last time I threw the raquet. It wasn’t pretty. We almost wet ourselves laughing so hard. School sucks. No doubt about it. I hope your panicKing ends well. Overworrying is no biggie! Seeming totally cool while overworrying, no that’s talent. LoL.
School. Starts. In. 1 hour, 15 minutes. Oh. My. Gosh.
Yeah, so school starts REALLY soon. Of course, I am totally prepared and am kinda happy about school starting. I mean, I LOVE school. Just the phone just rang and i found myself using my fake happy voice. You know, instead of my real happy voice. Which means that I’m not that excited about school. But it’s gonna start and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. So yeah…FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
school is in like half an hour, Im sorta kinda ready. Im more ready in the sense to get school over with, though I am kinda excited. Im getting coffee to start the day, so Im pretty excited for that. Yawn, tired waking up ever half hour after 5am is annoying, stupid internal clock, cant keep good time.
Hah, good I’m not the only one who was panicked. First day wasn’t so bad, just general suck and meh. And guy wierdness. But it was most definitely made up for cuz after school we went to Borders and got Holly Black’s new graphic novel which ownz so hardcore.
I love that song so much…
Yes, bananas. It worked pretty well.
Me and my friend played some pretty badass games of badminton over the summer. It was great.
HaHa, wow. I just got my internet back up after…*starts counting on fingers* 1…2…3? Ya I think it was three days. My internet was doooooooowwwwwnnnnn. Darness. What’s the new book called???
Wow that must’ve sucked. Being in school I just FELT like I had no internet.
You mean Holly Black’s new book? Kin. It’s book one of the Good Neighbors.
Hum, yep. That’s cool, I’ll see if they have it at Borders…I’m going to Micheal’s(the store) today and I’m gonna get a buncha art crap and tonight my friend’s are gonna come over and it’s gonna be crazy and messy and awesome. Yup.
one time, me and my friends all got together and painted shoes….yeah….painting shoes is FUN! But let’s just say that we didn’t limit ourselves to paint….*evil laughter*
fun indeed!
honor. band. auditions. are. not. easy.
There’s honor band? huh, I didn’t know that. I haven’t done band since like sixth grade so yeah….
YOU QUIT BAND??????? *evil glare*…..yeah, it’s provincial honor band…..actually provincial SENIOR honor band….for people in grades 9-12…..so i’m one of the youngest peole auditioning! for more info, go to http://www.mbband.org then go to “calander of events” then to “provincial senior honor band”…then you can see how impossible the music that I have to learn is!
Wow. Yeah, I did. *hangs head in shame* I had to cuz I needed to start foreign language as an elective and you only get one in middle school(7th and 8th grade)And now I can’t take it cuz I have to take my third year of foreign language, art(I love that class though but it’s A PERIOD! AH!) freshman essentials(ex. computers(totally unnecesary, I know how to type already and I’ve finished the quarters worth of lessons already), health(ick.), and geography. And those are split up throughout the year. So no room for band. And next year I have to take Phsychology(which I’m looking forward to), a History(not sure which one yet)Drama, and French. So I’m going to go crazy. But I’m looking forward to all those classes, so long that I survive the one’s I’m taking now, lol. But even though I quit band, I didn’t quit playing instruments!
good. otherwise I’m have to hurt you, lol. Yeah, i’m in band, choir, and drama. French is required.
and there are all those other idiotic classes….
I quit band too….in my defense, I did band for four years though. I quit when you got to the point where marching band was required, because I do NOT have that much free time to spare for any activity that requires shiny hats.
Also, French ftw. My school has a tiny French program but we are awesome.
it’s totally raining here. that tropical storm thing and all. it’s pouring and this fills me with joy. and it’s not at all ironic that let it rain by ok go just came on shuffle.
I’ve been writing like all day after not being able to since Tuesday because of school….so awesome….many werewolves. Story just hit 50 pages. Started with 27something thousand words, right now i’ve got 29214, and my goal for this weekend is at least 30,000 total.
Oh yeah, I am so going to make my October deadline. SOMEHOW.
Ha, awesomeness. I have too much pride to wear the band uniform. I’d die. We didn’t have French in middle school, only Spanish so I did that. So I’m finishing Spanish before I start French. *runs away and hides* Don’t hurt me Andrea-la! Ah! Yay for writing! Woo! *does embarassing little happy dance and throws confetti* I’m so bored. But mis amigas will be here in like 10 minutes and let’s just say, activities for the night include phantom of the opera-looking masks, and feathers. Bucket loads of feathers. *insert manical laughter here*
Feathers….*cowers in fear*
HeHe. Nice. That was fun, we made random t-shirts with paint and glue and stuff and then we made stupid masks with feathers and played improv games like freeze. Overall, we acted like idiots and ’twas amazing. Funness.
Acting like idiots often is.
Yep yep yep. Today was interesting. My friend of the guy variety walks up to me today and is like “Hey.” and I’m like “Hey.” and he’s all “I love you *insert my name here*.” and I’m like “That’s nice to know *insert his name here*” and he says “Just wanted to make sure my bestest buddy knew how much she’d meant to me.” and I nod and he’s like “What? Aren’t you gonna say you love me back???” and gives me the most painfully adorable bambi eyes eveeeerrrrr. And I’m like “Nope.” and he’s all “Don’t be a hater, *insert my name here*!” and I’m like “I’m not a hater, just don’t love ya genius.” and he’s all “I’m so hurt! After all we’ve been through!” and gives me this kicked puppy look(he totally owns the facial expressions) and my friend walks up cuz she heard and is like “Hey! Aren’t you gonna say you love me too?!” and he acts like he’s thinking about it and is all “Nah, one declaration of love is enough for me for one day.” and she’s like “So…tomorrow???” and he’s like “No! I Love *insert my name here* Not you!” and he turns to leave and is like “LOVE YOU!” and fake blows me a kiss, it was SO hilarious. He’s freaking awesome, cuz he was totally joking cuz we’re just friends but it was funny. Major Rofling. Made my day.
Ha, nice. My day kind of sucked and was eaten by homework.
Your day…was eaten…by homework??? That’s a new one. That doesn’t sound fun. Have you read The DeVouring by Simon Holt? I’m on like page 105 and so far I think it’s awesome.
Hmmmm no, never heard of it.
And anyone who’s taken honors classes can understand. My free time was devoured by thesis statements and chem and word problems. *sad*
But today I have no homework!
Oh yes, I understand that now. Especially this year. I have a mountain of honors english hw and spanish hw today. Which isn’t a lot compared to what I’ve been getting. I can survive though!(barely,lol) It’s a really awesome book, I haven’t finished it yet, due to no time at all during school. It’s like Go Go Go. Ugh. Oh well, I better suck it up. Do you like the band The Academy Is? I just heard of them like…today(like I said, I’m pretty much musically illiterate.) and I’m not sure yet cuz I haven’t heard a lot, but I think I might like it. I’m listening to Black Mamba right now…
Well this year is a bit easier than last one, so far. But I have two different essays due Tuesday. HOW WILL I DO THEM BOTH THE NIGHT BEFORE?
Yeah, i know TAI… (In the interest of proper punctuation, the ellipses afterward are manditory. It keeps you waiting. WHO is the Academy? The Academy Is…) Don’t particularly listen to them, mainly because I haven’t gotten ahold of thier CD and am too lazy to buy it. I really love this song+video of thiers though.
http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?artist=1898553&vid=267510
Oh, yeah I like that one. One of my friends is really obsessed with them. Ellipses. I hate that word. It just bugs me. Argh. Oh well. And yesterday I finished that book. It was fawesome in my opinion. For my birthday, I might get to go to a Panic concert! But I won’t go into that fangirly rant right now. Hum. I’m bored. I’m tired. I’m hungry. I shall go fix the latter one right now. So adios.
Oooh, awesome. Don’t know if I mentioned it yet, but I’m totally going to see Death Cab for Cutie in less than a month, and we’ve got really good seats. YES!
So what was the book about?
Oh, Hecka awesome! Have fun there!
It’s about these things called Vours that basically kick your soul outta your body on Sorry Night (the winter solstice) and they feed off your fears. Pretty cool. Hummmmm…
Wow sounds pretty interesting. *scrolls back up to check the title*
So I’m sort of completely obsessed with this song right now. Listened to it like, a million times yesterday…
http://fuse.tv/music/free-music.html?artist_id=169
iz goood….
Uh, what song is it? Not working on my comp.
The ’59 Sound by The Gaslight Anthem.
this’ the vid….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-Pm5NC3OZI
Hm. I kinda liked it. So much boredom going around. Not much to write about. My friend declared today “Give Random People Bubbles Day” and handed out little things of bubbles all day to…as above stated, random people. I swear, by the end of the day like half the school was blowing bubbles all over the place. It was awesome.
I am SO pissed at the above “friend”. I can’t express how angry I am.
That sucks. What happened? Course, you don’t have to share if you don’t want to or anything.
My throat is KILLING me. Hope I’m not getting sick.
Wow, comment 1800!
There was this whole big deal with stupid betrayals and crying of friends and much ignoring of calls. I feel like I live in a frickin teenage soap opera. Basically, she told something about my friend that she really trusted her not to tell, and then she acted like it was no big deal and went on like nothing happened and told MORE people after my friend told her off, and then she tried to blame it on me, when I’ve never told anything in my life and they all know that. And she’s insistant that it was ME who told and my friend of whom she told about was CRYING. I seriously thought that she was incapable of crying. I’ve never seen her cry ever. And she did. Cuz of her, and just that in itself made me SO MAD. And so we were at the homecoming game yesterday(cheering for the other team of course and getting candy thrown at our heads and trying to forget about it) and I swear, she called 23 times. TWENTY THREE TIMES. And everytime we ignored it. And she kept texting saying she didn’t know why we were mad at her and I had a major headache from all this. And then, the guy that I was gushing about before, apparently likes this other girl that I know, and she likes him back. One of my friends told me, when the backstabber friend was there. I was like, Oh Okay that’s cool. cuz I’m so not gonna get jealous and b-*-t-c-h-y over that, cuz that’s just not how I am. Things happen, oh well. But she kept ASKING me about it and talking about it, stupid questions like Oh My Gosh, don’t you think they’d make a cute couple though?! That’s so cool! And that bugged me. You’d think she’d have the common sense to at least ASK if I was okay with it. I mean I was okay with it until she wouldn’t shut up. And before all this, she went up to him, and is all “This is totally random, but what’s your name?” And now EVERY day, even in front of me, she talks to him. And flirts with him. And I told her I was uncomfortable with that and she’s always talking about how AWESOME and COOL he is and, AH. And she’s seriously creeping him out, cuz she hasn’t introduced herself even, so this random chick comes up to him and starts talking like she’s known him forever, cuz that’s not weird AT ALL. And I mean, it’s not like I control them, so I was all “Whatever. Talk to him. I DON’T CARE ANYMORE!” and she’s like “Okay, I will.” and now she keeps reminding me, “Even if he’s gonna be with some other girl I’m still gonna talk to him! He’s so cool, I know we’re gonna be like best friends!” HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW HER. Gosh. And so it was that, on top of the problem with my friend, and lots of angriness over the years built up, about ready to make my head explode. And now, since it was WAY too much drama for me to handle, I answered her text messages and told her Whatever, I don’t give a care anymore. I’m sick of all this, it’s not me you have to apologize to. Go talk to *insert hurt friend’s name here* and she’s all I’m SOOOOOO sorry, I can’t believe I did that! I was horrible. And I’m all Yeah. You should feel sorry, and you were horrible. And now I am sick of being pissed so I just decided to forgive her cuz my other friend did, but let’s just say she won’t be trusted anymore, ever. And that was a REALLY LONG stupid rant that felt extremely good.
Hey guys, I know it’s been a while since I’ve been on here, a lot of shit’s been happening in my life.
Sorry about you and your friends Tally & Zane. It’s not really my place to say anything, kind of lost that when I stopped commenting. But I’m really sorry anyways, things like that shouldn’t happen to people.
I can’t believe how much I missed this thread…..
Ah! Welcome back! Course ya have a place. And thanks. You can vent on here if you want. ^^ the above felt really good. If not, that’s cool too.
Well, apparently I was wrong above, because I’m now totally home sick and miserable. Stupid sore throat.
And hey katie, you’re welcome anytime! Of course you’ve got a place here, even if it’s been awhile.
And T&Z-la. That sucks. Really. I hate all that drama stuff, which is why I try to avoid it as much as possible, but high school? Neverending pile of suckage.
But really, nothing feels better than a stupid rant sometimes. Saying it out loud (or typed out, or however) kind of just makes you feel better, I think, like it empties it out, even if you’re not talking to the person you’re talking about.
THIS SORE THROAT IS KILLING ME. I HATE having sore throats. They’re so obnoxius! Every time I swallow! Ugh! We don’t even have orange juice!
So so true. And hope ya feel better!
For sore throats, hot tea and a shit load of water and mouth wash. It really works.
I’d vent and tell you all everything that’s happened since I stopped commenting, but too much has. But, do you guys remember Codie? Well, he broke up with me for his friend Amanda, she’s been fucking people behind his back (mainly the guy Jess likes, DJ one of her ex’s, and she knows this) and I’ve started to have feelings for Codie’s 18 year old friend. And I’m 14. There’s other things too, but it’s not all my story.
*is still totally sick, though not with a sore throat anymore, just annoyingly persistant cough*
Wow, katie. That sounds like…many levels of suckishness and confusion. Oh, drama. *shakes head*
The part that bothers me most is I’m watching everyone I care about suffer. I hate that. Things are happening to me personally, but it bothers me more that people I care about are suffering. It was bad when Jess’s best friend Alyssa had someone really close to her die, he was only 16, and then another person even closer almost committed suicide, Jess was a mess, and I had to watch all that.
I’m just getting over a cold after two weeks. My colds last a while because I’m borderline insomniac and I hate water. Lol, those don’t help.
I’m so sick of drama. Drama is a beeeeeooooottttcccchhhhh. Seriously. So is insomnia and being sick. Ughness. Oh well, I’m trying to avoid all three of those at all costs. So far it is NOT working. Tis a shame…lol.
Yeah, insomia does suck, but I’m generally okay with it. If I sleep more then four hours a night I’m dead in the morning, and then all day. So it’s nice when I can stay up texting. But I have to sneak my phone because my dad likes to take it a lot. For no reason. Lol. I just laugh at him when he yells at me now because it’s usually about something stupid. Like not having the lights turned on when its not that dark. But it sucks because I really like to sleep, and I LOVE my dreams. Jasmine (I don’t know if any of you remember her) helps me figure out what they mean. You should try it. You automatically know when you’ve stumbled upon the right answer. And it’s actually quite the stress outlet.
I’m okay with drama, I’ve come to realize that it’s a part of life that everyone’s got to deal with, so why complain. But it really irritates me when people start it for no reason other than to start it. Enough will happen naturally, why start more? It’s easy to say that it’s one of the reasons TWLOHA had a mission at all.
See, school has so totally drained my soul I pass out really early and am tired all day. But I’m also the complete same way—over like four hours or so of sleep, and I’m tired all day. Very little sleep and I’m alert and awake.
Watching other people suffer sucks. It makes you feel so helpless.
Yeah, that’s the thing about drama. It’s just so pointless sometimes. EVERYBODY CHILL OUT. Feels like some people actually like it or something.
So true, and Katie, I’ve been seeing TONS of people wearing TWLOHA shirts around school! It’s really cool. I’m ordering one for my bday, which is in like 10 days. And it’s OFFICIAL that I’m going to a PATD concert. *has excited spaz attack and dies but comes back to life* I can NOT wait! Eeeeeeepppp.
Er, this may be a stupid question but, PATD?
And Hot Topic sells the TWLOHA shirts now, some of them anyways, so it’s easier to get them. They only sell the pink one for girls, and the story on the inside had be changed because it had to do with religion and god, and it’s a policy for the store to not have things like that. I would byt it from the website because of that though. Then you pick the one you want, and you get the original story printed on the inside.
I think some people DO like drama. But my guess is the only way they get drama, is if they make it. I think I used to be like that, always looking for some form of excitment, but then drama came naturally, and I was already tired of it because of the petty reasons it had started from before.
So, does ahyone remember me ranting about dance, and how I’ve always wanted to do Evanescence? Well, I got my wish. Yay! We are doing Lithium, just Jess and I in a duet we decided to do. Lithium wouldn’t have been my first choice, but it has the right sound for a dance, and how everything dramatically changes. It’s pretty cool.
PATD= Panic at the Disco.
Yeah, I didn’t get it at hot topic for that reason. I don’t particularily like going into that store a lot…the people working in there creep me out cuz they always give me death stares…it’s disturbing. LoL. So, I’m just gonna have my ‘rents order it for me online.
Lol, I love the people in Hot Topic, mine anyways. there’s only one guy in there that intimidates me. He’s a complete ass. He probably doesn’t make any sells for that reason.
Yeah, I wanted to order one from their web site too, but I never have the money. I’m paying for too many things. Lol. Not too much actually, their just expensive things, like dance and my phone. Lol.
Okay, got it. I’ve never seen/heard it reffered to as PATD. What ever happened to the “!” though?
Oh, yeah…*grumbles*, they took the ! out of their name. I still Love them though. Humdedumdedum, yes there’s a ton of stuff to pay for, argh. That’s what birthdays are for! Lmao, jkjk. Dude, but seriously, this girl working at Hot Topic was putting stuff out and I accidently bumped into her (being the clumsy person that I am) and she dropped what she was carrying.I helped her pick them up but she cussed at me and now they all hate me! I swear, you piss one of them off, you piss them all off! LoL, it’s kinda hilarious actually…
Lol, wow. Yeah, I’ve never pissed anyone off at Hot Topic before.
Was there a reason they took the ! out of their name?
It really bugs me when people are like “Ugh, my parents wont by me____ or _____” and I’m sitting there like “BUY IT YOURSELF!” It actually feels good to buy your own things. Then it feels like it’s yours. My parents still don’t hesitate to take anything that’s technically MINE, but still, it’s mine and not theirs.
I’m not really sure…some people say that it’s cuz their new cd is called Pretty. Odd. and they thought it was
“too many” punctuation marks…lol, I don’t know for sure though. Yeah! I know what you mean! Except I don’t get allowance or have any kind of job, except for during the summer, so the only money I get that’s mine is then. And if I try to spend it, then my parents say “No, you should save it.” *hands me money* LoL. I don’t get stuff taken away though, I try not to do anything that would result in that…I’m the good one of my family, now my brother on the other hand….not so much. LoL.
I never go to Hot Topic… too many poseurs. I buy all my clothes on the internet!
Also, that’s AWESOME, T&Z-la! Hope you have fun.
In tangentially related news, I’m going to see Death Cab For Cutie MONDAY AFTER NEXT! WOOT!
*shakes head* I liked the exclamation point. They shoulda kept it. Forget the periods in Pretty. Odd.
Actually, I saw a video where they talked about it, and thier official reason was because it’d “never been there in the first place.” Umm, yeah, it was just on your ALBUM COVER. Whatever.
Yeah, I’m almost out of birthday money. Christmas so far away… I suppose I could get a job, but, ummm, there’s no place good to work in this town. Plus I’m still sort of young. I want to work at this record store. That’d be a badass job.
*jumps up and down!* Eeeeeeeeeeppppppppp. I can NOT wait. Ah! And Death Cab’s cool! Have fun! My birthday is in 9 days, so bday money hasn’t come yet. LoL. The only reason I had a “job” was cuz it was working for my parents. Argh. Me and my friends are debating whether or not we wanna work at Borders or F.Y.E….but that’s not for another couple years.
Yeah, problem is a lot of cool places won’t hire til you’re eighteen. You can get working papers at 14 though, but most places don’t hire til 16. I’ll be 16 in July so might get a job this summer….
Oh yeah, Death Cab is going to be AWESOME. We have great seats, not that there’s really bad seats at Radio City. I need to listen to all thier stuff some more.
Yeah, as I said before my birthday’s in July so I kind of blew all my money on t-shirts already. *sigh*
What a world, what a world.Lol. My throat is killing me, and I just had to take this horrid cough medicine…ugh…*coughs*. I’ve only heard a couple Death Cab songs…but I think they’re pretty good. I am gonna go crazy when the Panic tickets come in the mail. I can’t let my friend get a hold of them though! She’ll like start cuddling them, rofl. I’m reallllllyyyyyyyyy excited. I’d be screaming happily right now but that would thrash my throat even more…I think I’ll go make some tea…
Yeah, they’re pretty awesome. Crooked Teeth is like, aural crack in catchy baseline form, and I Will Follow You Into The Dark may be the Sweetest Most Morbid love song of all time and one of my favorite songs of all time, and their new album’s got some cool stuff too, I Will Possess Your Heart, the psycho-ist 8 minute single ever.
Ha…we’ve got a cabinet in my house where there’s a whole pile of tickets cuz, umm, my family goes to concerts a lot. I’ve started taping up all the stubs (not that you get stubs now, cuz they just scan your ticket and don’t even bother ripping it anymore, even though they still make them perforated) on the back of my door with all my other random stuff.
Sore throats suck. I’m so glad mine’s feeling better, hope everyone else is too/will be soon.
Man, I should probably go to sleep. -looks at clock, decides 12:30 isn’t really late, continues on internet-
Yeah, I only have I Will Follow You into the Dark. I was tempted to get I will Posess your Heart, but the 8 minutes kinda threw me off. I figured, with my short attention span, I’d get bored after about half way through…This’ll be like my second concert. The first one I’ve actually WANTED to go to. My rents made me stay home from school today, cuz I had a fever when I woke up.
Grrr… I’m behind….. Sorry, things happened and computer time started slipping. 🙁 But I have some thoughts anyways, so even though the conversation had been dropped, I’m going to say them. Or it’ll bug me.
I have a job at my grandparents, I’m getting a babysitting job, and i might be getting a job at my dance studio (but that might not pay off any tuition for another year or two. Since more than 11 years at the studio, with other family members there before me, isn’t enough to get me up the ladder, I got to work volunteerily before I can get the money off that I actually need.) I don’t get birthday money that much either. Occasionally a 20 or something from my grandparents, but they’re paying me enough now. But I hate my birthday. It actually depresses me. Anyone else feel that way?
By the way, what do you guys think of the word “posers?” I personally think it’s another label, and I really don’t care for labels. And I really don’t care for the people who are always saying, “Don’t judge me. I’m just me.” Because ‘just me” has become another label. The best way is to just not mention it. Labels are pointless anyways. They aren’t going to get you anywhere in life.
I can’t wait for Evanescence to come back! *does little dance* Lol. I’ve never heard Death Cab for Cutie I don’t think. Well, I have. But not seriously. I was just standing behind my sister and it was playing. I wasn’t paying any attention to it. And I don’t like Panic At the Disco all that much. They don’t suck, they’re pretty good, they just haven’t made it to my iPod. For some reason acid rap (psychpathic rap) is becoming some of my new favorites. Evanescence is always my top, but ICP and Twiztid are way up there. Along with Zug Izland and Dark lotus. I don’t know all the songs and stuff, just some of them, but what I’ve heard, I love. :]
gr, I hate how the yellow face comes up when you do “: (” There I put some spaces in between it so that it shouldn’t. They’re so much cuter when they aren’t yellow………
Gr, my dad took my phone. AGAIN! And he might be shuttingoff the texting service. (which really sucks because I pay for that. And I still quite a few months left, and he won’t give me back my money.) And what sucks even more. I DON’T EVEN GET IN TROUBLE! I’m basically a good kid. I do risky things, and I have fun. I do things I know I’m not allowed/shouldn’t do. But I don’t get caught. So what they punish me for is basically stupid, and makes me look like a better kid than I am. XD
Okay, this has to be addressed first. He’s shutting off your texting?! *le gasp!* I’d die. Seriously. I have such an addiction to texting it’s not even funny. I’ve used over 6,500 text messages this month alone. I have unlimited though, so it’s good.
I like worship Panic at the Disco. LoVe Themmmmmm. I haven’t ever heard of any of the others you mentioned though.
I text a fair amount, but nowhere near that much. I do have unlimited though. But that totally sucks that you’re getting it taken away, especially if you’re the one paying for it.
Yeah, the problem with the label ‘poseurs’ is that it’s one of those ones that everyone can just throw at everyone else, and it’s kind of meaningless. Umm, I still use it though. Rather often. *shrug*
“Sometimes it’s true” probably isn’t the best defense, but whatever.
Labels are just ridiculous. It’s all ridiculous. I try to ignore it.
Yeah, Panic! are a band I don’t like, love, but don’t hate. There’s like, four or five songs of theirs on my mp3 player, but they’re not in my top artists, even though I’m kind of obsessed with that song Camisado this week.
Don’t fear the 8 minute intro! (possibly because I grew up with parents who were into 15 and 30 minute songs, that doesn’t seem that long to me). Well, actually the whole song is 8 minutes, total. So at least three of those have words!
Hmmm. Yeah, I can’t say I’ve heard of any of the others. My wide-ranging music knowledge is ashamed.
15 TO 30 MINUTES! Whoa! I’ve had ten minute songs before, but whoazers! (Since when do I say that?)
I’ve got a rather…. large range of music. Like, I don’t listen to that much, and I haven’t heard a lot. But in terms of genres, I’ve got gothic/classic/classically influenced rock/rock/gothic rock/alternative (All wraped up in Evanescence genres) Acid rap, some screamo stuff, and then those weird genres you’ve never heard of but show up because of some reason. I listen to Evanescence, ICP, Twiztid, Dark Lotus, Zug Izland, Godsmack, Slipknot, Chiodos, and then sometimes a Fall Out Boy or other band song. Only Evanescence am I like, a hardcore fan of. Like, I’m no lette or anything (anyone know what a lette/lo/hoe is besides me?).
They haven’t cancelled texting yet, just said that they are going to. I think they’ll wait till December so they don’t have to give us our money back, and then just shut it off. I had over 3,000 last month, Jess had over 6,600. My parents….ugh…… I know I sound like a bratty fourteen year old, which I guess I kind of am. But seriously? They step over the lines. A LOT. They don’t know what to leave alone. One day they’ll learn more than they want to, and learn when to just stay out.
Wooooooooooooooooooow. That is a LONG song. Just wow. I LOVE Fall Out Boy! All the genres on my iPod are Alternative, Pop, Rock & Classical. My favorites are, Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, The Academy is…, All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, The Cab, Green Day, Linkin Park, Paramore, We the Kings, & 30 Seconds to Mars.
I got my tickets in the mail today! HeHe. So happy.
I saw Fall Out Boy live. Jess saw The Academy Is… at Warped. I hope they don’t take the three dots out of their name……..!
I don’t listen to that kind of stuff much anymore. I like the darker stuff. And as for the psychopathic rap, I love the family/love going around there. Here’s a link to Homies. Watch the video if you can/want. It’s good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Chdw_kAdI&feature=related
They can occasionally get…. violent. Well, a lot. But they’re still good. Twiztid flows better.
Oh wow. Um…yeah. Hummmmm….let’s just say, I was like pulling my hair out in the first 5 seconds of that video just now. No offense completely though! That kinda music is just really not my thing. That’s cool that you saw FOB live! My friend would like kill to see them. (Not really though, lol.) But, She’s completely obsessed!
Lol, it’s okay. You really need a taste for the music to like it at all. It’s one of those love it or hate it, nothing in between. Well, maybe in between, but to be in between that just means you don’t just listen to that. But you can’t be indifferant to the actual music. Am I making sense? Because I really confused myself. Lol.
Yeah, Fall Out Boy wasn’t bad, but my dad wouldn’t let us get floor tickets, so we had seats. I don’t recomend that. Not enough room to dance and theres people around you, and it’s really peeving when the person in front of you is SITTING DOWN. You should always stand unless you are physically unable to. But not getting to dance and getting seats was a bit of a bummer. I’m fighting for floor when I go to Evanescence. I wonder what a mosh pit will be like for Evanescence……..
Ya, I understand! And wow, mosh pit? LoL, that should be interesting!
Lol, yeah. Mosh pits are amazingggg……. But I can’t be in them. 🙁 I’m not rough enough. You really have to be able to hold your own. Unless it’s a pathetic mosh. Then it’s just, well, not a good mosh pit. Hehe.
Anyone here a Nightmare Before Christmas fan? I liked the movie, but it’s not my favorite. I think it’s only so popular because of “scene” kids, and Hot Topic. But, I like the album “Nightmare Revisited.” The song “Sally’s Song” was covered by Amy lee. I think it’s beautiful. Here’s a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx6PIkI2hTI with lyrics in the side.
I saw Fall Out Boy at MSG, that was pretty good, with Gym Class Heroes and Plain White Ts. We had seats, but I don’t mind. Not a mosh person myself.
I was addicted to that The Cab song, One of Those Nights, when I was writing the climax to my werewolf story last week. Sort of hated it but listened to it over and over and over and over and over.
On my mp3 player, genres go like this: Alternative, Rock, Alternative & Punk, Unknown, Pop.
And the only thing under Pop is Foo Fighters. Which has always struck me as quite strange.
Cool. I really wasn’t a fan of NightMare, but my friends really are. One of my friends claims she has an animan crush on Jack, it’s hilarious. I have that song! I think One of Those Nights sounds like it’s a buncha songs like together, it doesn’t really fit together well, but I think it’s okay. I have a feeling I would not enjoy being in a mosh pit….no, I think not…..
Yeah, and the million famous guest vocalists is kind of distracting. I really like the beginning part though, and the backup vocals on the end of the first couple lines (like, “walls” and “days”) are kind of great, but overall I don’t really like the song that much. But for some reason I got addicted to it and listened to it over and over and over.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Nightmare Before Christmas all the way through, actually.
Yeah, i don’t like Nightmare Before Christmas all that much. it was cute, but that’s it. I just like sally’s Song. 🙂
I was in one mosh pit. It was fun, but hard. Like, i kept being on the inside barrier of the circle, so people were like, jumping and running on top of me. But my cousins friend Adam (who’s amazingly sexy) Was there, and was trying to keep me away from it. *sighs* he was really sexy. And then you had to be ware of beer flying places, and the bottles. But I didn’t get any on me. Jess was soaked with it though. 🙂 It was fun. I’d go back and do it again. And maybe have a bit more fun in the mosh. I’ve losened up a bit since then. Lol.
Yepyepyep. And wow, def no mosh pitting for me. (That sounded weeeeiiirrrddd, lol.) Oh my Gosh. Okay so for my friend’s birthday yesterday we basically hung out and dorked off at the Mall. We had this continuous game though, where we rack up points the whole day. All you have to do is talk to a guy, and embarass the hell outta someone else. Like I walked up to this realllllllyyyyyyy hot blondie, and said, “I don’t know what you did, but it’s totally turning my friend on! I mean seriously! Look at her!†and that resulted in a point for me, and a slap from my friend. Fun stuff man, fun stuff. And then we went into F.Y.E. and she kept asking the guy at the counter for help finding Cds, and then as we were leaving she calls him over again, and is all, “The reason we’ve been asking you for help so much is cuz she thinks you smell like an angel! *points to me*†which gave her a point. And then we went bowling(which I suck at!) and there were these two guys that were cute in the lane next to us, and they got up to leave and I’m all “Hey! Are you guys leaving?†and they’re all “Uh, yeah, why?†and I’m like “Cuz I just wanted to let you know that it TOTALLY made her birthday to see you guys here!†and I got another point…..It was SO fun. So immature though, lmao. I won though! LoL.
hey that does sound like fun!
*i is NOT immature*
Oh I think it’s immature! But that’s why it’s fun!
Lol, wow. That sounds like fun. Lol.
Has anyone seen Requiem For A Dream? If you haven’t, DON’T. It was a good movie and all, but oh my god, I wanted to kill myself when it was over. It made you feel like there is absolutely no hope. None. It was so sad and depressing! But really good too. Gah! Only watch it if you are extremely happy. I don’t know why such a movie is legal………. But it is rated R. For sexual and violent content. But it was so good……. and bad…. at the same time…..
I haven’t seen it….I tend to like sad stuff though…idk…
wow it’s been a long time since i’ve been on here.
HI!
HI!
Okay, so, every freshman that comes out of my grade school always goes back to visit in the beginning of the next year. So, Jess and I did that this morning. Since we graduated from junior high, we dyed our hair darker, so obviously we got some reactions from teachers. And none of them were very good, but that was expected. But when my religion teacher (who is a sister of the highschool I go to now) saw it. She told us she was disappointed in us! I was standing there like, “Ummmm, I think you need to go back in training and learn what being a sister really means.” I didn’t saw that, but I was screaming inside. I’m still quite peeved. She doesn’t even know me! She saw the changes I’ve made, like my darker hair, and automatically assumed that I’ve become a bad person! i was so mad. I’ve had a lot of reactions like that. No one has even tried to figure out who I am, or what I stand for.
That’s so messed up! Just cuz you dyed your hair??? Wow. It’s really not weird if you do that here. Like, if I went to Church with purple hair or something, my Pastor would most likely be like “Wow! That’s cool! Where’d you get it done?!” It’s really laid back. And now a days, everyone has dyed their hair, wears neon colors or like all black, and has headphones in their ears when they walk by. It’s just not questioned anymore. I guess that’s cool though. Hum. According to Australian time, it’s my bday already. *blows out metaphoric candles*
Yeah, here, adults still like the old school preppy style, or anyone who dresses preppy. They don’t even mind gangsters, they’re real problem is the “goths” which I’m not, but since I like black, and wear a shit load of it, (and purple =D) they don’t like me. Or Jess, but whatever. I’m just more willing to accept other people than them. =D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
Happy birthday! (belatedly, several days ago)
That stuff does sound like fun, but I’d never actually do that. I like other kinds of mall mayhem, usually by freaking out employees.
And wow, judgemental much? That sucks, katie. Because everyone knows people are defined completely by their hair color. Yeah, maybe this is a sore spot, right? In the last three years I’ve had red (like red red, not haircolor red), purple, and pink hair, plus all variations of the three.
Tonight, I’m dying my hair again…BROWN. Back to my natural color basically, because it’s gotten all bleached-out and blond. Then tomorrow I’m putting purple streaks in.
I hate depressing movies.
oh wow…i’ve dyed my hair before, and recently i dyed it darker…used to be blonde, now it’s a dark brownish redish color…and yeah, my church is REALLY layed back….people wear jeans to church and lots of people don’t have their natural haircolor….it’s fun….
My church is laid back and all. It’s not the Church. (Well, I actually don’t go to Church anymore, but it’s laid back as long as the preist we have now is there. Lol) It’s just that particular sister that decided to tell us that we are disappointments. She doesn’t even KNOW us then. She should. She taught us for three years. Whatever, I can be a disappointment to her if she wants me to be. I’m not sure I even believe in God anymore, I wonder what she’d say about THAT.
That sounds really cool. I want to dye my hair purple, but I’m not allowed. Dark brown is as far as I’m allowed to go. But naturally, I’m a blonde that should be brunette. I look better with brown hair than blonde. People can’t tell that I’ve ever been anything but brown hair if they’ve never seen me before I did it. And then my sister Ashley is naturally a really golden color. And she’s small and looks like a ten year old with blue eyes and I have green, so no one even guesses that she’s my sister. It’s so funny. But sometimes I get really mad when I get mistaken as being Jess. And not because someone thinks I am Jess, that I actually take as a compliment most of the time. What pisses me off is once they realize I’m not Jess, they walk away. You JUST mistook me as being my sister, you could at least stay for some conversation. Not that many people talk to me, so it would be greatly appreciated if someone could. Sorry, this is a touchy spot. i just don’t understand what’s wring with ME. No one likes me. I’m not abitch like my sister, if I care about you, I’d do anything for you. I would do anything for you anyways, even if I don’t like you. But I’d die for the people I care about. And yet, I don’t have any friends. One of my “friends” I think is only my friend because I have unlimited texting that I don’t even get to use because she’s on my phone whenever I’m with her. It’s the first thing she asks for when she sees me. She has it ALL DAY at school. When she gets caught my dad won’t give it back to me. She has her friends in my contact list. Jess was using my phone a bit while hers was gone and started talking to them on it. What’s so wrong with me? Can’t people be my friend and actually care about me? I’m tired of being the only one caring. This weekend one of my closest friends was on the verge of suicide, and I was so scared because if I had said one wrong thing he could have done it, and I would have lost him. I really love him. I don’t know what I’d do without him. Sorry didn’t mean to rant so much but I’m seriously exploding. These past few weekends have been somewhat… messy. I’m really scared right now for the people around me. Someone just pointed out to me that you can see depression in just about everyone’s eyes. Very few over the age of 13 are stranger to it these days. It’s really sad.
Oh gosh, Katie thats horrible. That person doesn’t sound like a very good friend. And I’m sorry about your other friend! Stuff like that’s tough, I totally wouldn’t know what to say. Life’s been crap lately. My computer crashed, and I just got a new one set up today. Hence the me, leaving without word, and just randomly coming back now. I had to put my dog down, she had a stroke. She’s been in my family for like 7 years, so it totally sucked. The worst thing that happened though, one of my best friends was diagnosed with brain cancer. She’s been having really bad headaches and migranes, and she went to the doctor to check it out, and they found a tumor in her brain and the tests for cancer came back positive. They said that they found it soon enough that there’s a chance she can be okay though. She’s gonna be starting radiation treatment soon. It’s weird. It’s like one of those things that you hear about, and you never think it’s gonna happen to somebody you know and care about, and when it does, it feels like some weird nightmarish state that you feel like you should wake up soon. Its like a daze.
This is how sad the world is. It’s not right. Although I don’t know how you feel with your friend being sick like that, I am really really sorry that is happening to her. It’s not right, not at all. I’m really sorry. I can’t do anything for you, or your friend. BUt if I could, I’d give you both hugs right now.
This week TOO many kids died by accidents involving cars. More than I can count. An eleven year old got run over by his bus, and his mom wtached it happen. Some kids got into a car accident and died, a couple more of the same factor. Across the country (from where I am) I lady was walking with her kid (I think only two years old) and a car swerved up and killed the little boy. And a friend of my sister’s, and a friend of one of my new friends (the good ones-she hasn’t been mentioned, but her name is Shakti) died this past week also. He was skateboarding with some friends and got hit by a car. I think he was only 14, but I’m not positive. August 30th this year Stefen died of a brain anyerism (not sure how to spell that) and he was only 16.
What kind of world are we living in?
But I think it’s going to get better soon. We are never left in the darkness with out a shine of light. Whoever shines it, I don’t know. BUt still.
That’s all horrible. Life is totally suckage right now. Before, for me at least, it was pretty good. I guess it’s a long fall from the top of the mountain, but I, and the rest of the world, can’t be too far from hitting rock bottom, can we? Cuz once we reach that, we can start climbing again…I put on a happy face though…
ok… that’s a good point
My life has been….decent. I can’t compete with anything bad, but it’s not like it’s been great. I’m kinda almost failing social studies, and my brother is being very annoying, but otherwise, life is good. Better than i coulda hoped for and most definetly better than i deserve. So yeah. But just wait, I’m sure that my life will start to suck soon…I mean, my parents are trying to find my blog, so that’s gonna suck if they do….
I LOVED IT.
It was great, but no competition to Peeps.
There’s no way to describe how much I missed Cal and all the parasite descriptions. -sigh-
I did learn to love the new characters, though, especially Alana Ray.
Moz was awesome, too, though I wish we got more from his POV after he became infected.
Once again, you created a whole new world with whole new things and made them completely believable. Absolutely fawesome.
It’s terrible when people go through a bunch of crap, and I hate that anyone does. But it really peevs me when someone says, “I don’t need this shit.” Because, no one needs the shit that they get, we just deal with it. End of story. If your’re frustrated, ask for help.
One of the girls in the Junior Academy at my highschool was just diagnosed with leukimia. Not sure I spelled that right. But, that’s horrible. She’s only in the eigth grade. Why does it seem as if everyone is dying now?
Wow, I haven’t been on here in forever.
And wow. That’s awful. So many deaths and tragedies… much sympathy and positive vibes.
There’ve been a weird number of kids with leukemia in my town…about three I know of who’re around the same age. Cancer…it’s so horrible and so unavoidable and just so scary.
*sigh* The world is sharp and awful sometimes.
It seems like everyone’s suddenly dying now…but…I think we’ve all been dying from the beginning, we just haven’t realised it yet. Now, we’re starting to see it more. For all I know, I could be dying right now. Maybe life’s just one big prelude to death, that’s why I’m not so afraid.
That is majorly intense and… very true. It’s like people always try to forget that death’s this big part of life—hell, death is the point of life. Not that it makes it any more welcome, of course, and sure, I’d prefer no one I knew died but…it’s gotta happen.
Sympathy and good wishes for the dead either way. They deserve it.
*deep breath* Heavy thoughts man, heavy. Anyone got any good news to share?
Ummm…no…not really…Wait! Um…Yeah, not much. I’ve been like a frickin zombie lately. Haven’t been sleeping lots, but I’ve been getting A LOT of writing done, which is good.
death is the point of life. just like life is the point of death, because neither could exist without each other. but it’s sad when people die, especially when they have their whole lives ahead of them.
is everyone doing NaNoWriMo? i can’t because of stupid exams!!
I’ve been stuck with piles of Chem stuff, which is like death and hell and I am TOTALLY FAILING because my teacher is awful. Also, i’ve apparently become whiny.
This is possibly because I am indeed doing NaNo.
And have not been getting much sleep either.
Death just seems like a waste sometimes. It’s scary, because it makes you realize that the universe really is so f***ing random sometimes….guess you gotta live your life while you can.
Finally finished last days…but I liked peeps more.
I tried to do NaNoWriMo, but i started 11 days late and went “whatever” and just decided to write a novel that i will finish..eventually…maybe. probably not. Can’t ever seem to finish a story…
i wish i had a writing class at my school…i had one at my homeschooling program, but my high school doesn’t have any fun writing classes. maybe I’ll do one at the city college.
oh-my-gee ii just got Peeps and it was really good ii read it in like 3 days ii couldn’t put it down the whole time………i might get Last Days this weekend……sooo bubbly-makin…..(prettey talk rules!!!!!!!!).
Wow.
I really need to reread TLD. I totally forgot about everything.
I had no clue what people were talking about.
But it’s never at the library. I’m going to buy it.
I can’t wait for Leviathan. 😀 I read the excerpt in Bogus to Bubbly.
^_^ I loved reading The Last Days! I got it as a christmas pressie (I was so happy because I live in rural NSW and between Tamworth library and a few others there’s only one copy of Scott’s books) and wasn’t able to put it down…Now I’ve got most of my friends reading Peeps and The Last Days…I also got Bogus to Bubbly…It’d be interesting if Scott wrote a book like that for Peeps/The Last days…But anyways I’m looking forward to Leviathan X3
I cannot believe the peeps saga is done. If you Could think of anything, Scott, Please make another one.
K at the end does Pearl jst giv up on her crush for Moz? Or does she still lik him. Cause earlier on u said “Im other words there friends”… or sumthin lik tht. Any way luv ur books <3
Oh and btw at the end when Moz said Thanx to tht 1 woman for bringin thm togethr, ws it jst me or did ws he flirtin?
srry tht did wsnt suposed to b there and whn i said flirtin I mnt w/ Pearl… heheh srry
your a horrible person you know that?
Reason one: i re-read peeps recently and the night i finish we had red meat for tea… unfortunately for me it was a little pink… cooked, but pinkish. i had some great thoughts about parasites that night.
Reason two: i ALMOST cried when i realize my library didn’t own a copy of the last days…. i’m now a little poorer cause i just had to read it!( then again i probably would have brought a copy anyway!)
Reason three: i just keep wanting more of your books!
I love Minerva! She’s the best character. Also if you go to the giant microbes site theysell giant stuffed microbes(I have 21) and one of them is toxoplasmosis!
I love Peeps, its like my favorite book ! I just don’t understand what happens to Morgan. At the end of Peeps I had so many questions. Some where answerd in The Last Days but not all. I think there should be another book after the Last Days with peeps in it. Like they said at the end, the next problem is going to be in hundreds of years. So the next book should be like Uglies, in the future! How awesome would that be?!
Im reading it love the beginning of the night mayor tapes
Finished and i don’t know if you intended for this but i really hate minerva she annoys me a lot and when i heard Lace’s and Cal’s names i shouted YES! and my walls are so freakin thin so everybody in my house heard and told me to be quite ANYWAY, awesome book! Did you get the music part from experiences and the NIGHT MAYOR TAPES are fawesome
