I haven’t posted anything for Midnighters fans in a while, so here are a couple of bits of fannish art and one document for obsessed scholars.
But first, the event at Kinokuniya was a blast. Our thanks to all of those who came, especially fan-mail deliverers and shameless flatterers Steph, Jaimee, and Christina/Mikey! Fun was had by all.
So, a few days ago I got this present from Kallie, my own anti-darkling coffee mug!
In addition to this triple-decker tridecalogism, the other side has stuff too intricate for my still-life photography skillz to capture. It features thirteen 13s in Phoenician numerals and the five midnighter talent symbols. Kewl.
Now here’s something for your CafePress pleasure. The tridecashirt!
Yes, it’s amazing how much free time I used to have. But what is this for? Well, I hereby give you all the right to copy, re-mix, and promulgate this image in all media in existence or yet to be invented, forever and throughout the known universe.
In other words, steal it to make t-shirts if you want. Or coffee mugs.
Click here for a much bigger file, and here if you want a vast Photoshop doc without the white background. (‘Save As’ under File after it loads, then open in Photoshop.)
And finally, for the truly Midnighters obsessed, here’s the chronology of events for whole series, from September 1 to October 31. Funny how October 6 in Blue Noon takes 100 pages to unfold!
I apologize for the formatting, but this is the stuff of novelist’s working documents. Page numbers refer to the hardbacks, btw, and may have shifted slightly since page proofs.

Wow. This is so cool. Thanks for the tridecashirt thingie. From your almost 52-year-old Midnighters librarian fan.
pretty intense chronology, really.
Im still wondering though if Zane was to come back and Tally and David had gotten back together what would happen would she have to choose would she not be able to chose or does she just runn away i cant stand the antisipation of !EXTRAS!
Scott I have a question who are the people on the cover of the Uglie books and if i may make a sugetion for the actresses of the movie for pretties and spetals i thing you should use the blond from 13 going on 30 for Shay and for Tally Keara Knightly cant thing of any uglie types for uglies sory.
So when’s the movie coming out then? I’m so excited! Whoo!
It makes me want another Midnighter’s book D:
Doesn’t it take years for movies to come out? I mean, really. They have to write it, find actors/actressess, film it, advertise it and much more! Plus, Scott can’t really tell them what to do for anything, so if the movie sucks it’s not his fault.
Judy Helms, see the comments thread for “Uglies Character Names” in which your question will be answered. Many, many times.
I would love another Midnighter’s book, too. I love the series dearly, and I miss it.
I’ve also reccommended it to my dad, and he’s reading it now. He likes it, too.
Anyway, thank you for this, and can we expect anything else Midnighters to come out?
Ahh, I love that shirt design! I totally have to make one now. Thanks, Scott! =)
man! i love the design. and i think you had a little too much time on your hands(like the people that make the crosswords in the newspaper-or the people that do them!)
oh na don the midnighters site ( http://www.geocities.com/thesecrethour/bixby.html ) someone made an uglies cast that we are all contributing too. check it out.
Dude, that shirt is pretty awesome…
One question: Do you have any input on the covers for your books? Because I’ve always wanted to know who the heck that is supposed to be on the cover of Pretties.
Pretties is apparently Shay and Zane according to someone’s comment in a previous post.
Most authors don’t pick the final cover of their book, but they may be asked about design or what they think of something.
I was asking who the people were in real life not in the book I know who they are supposed to be I just want to know if they are related to him or somthing sory for the comfution!
On the pretties bookcover it is Tally and Zane and on Spesials it is Tally and on Uglies it is Tally
*Squee*!(Otherwise known as fan-girlish squeal)
I love the ‘tridecashirt’! And I’m very jealous of your coffee mug, regardless of the fact that I hate coffee.
Question: Uglies movie? Are you people for reals? If so, that surely deserves many many “squees”, unless, of course, the movie people mess it up, as happens all too often (Eg. Ella Enchanted).
Yeah, a movie would be awesome. I am always confused when authors say there is going to be a movie. Or people on their blogs.
My dad makes shirts (for a living). I am so having him make that shirt for me! Capt. Cockatiel and I will wear it around everywhere and look like compleate idiots.
Compleate SCOTT WESTERFELD loving idiots.
Cha!
-Amber
Oh, yeah. I guess I’d need to give Piffs a shirt to, eh, Capt?
no, Judy, it’s SHAY and Zane on the pretties cover.
“Tridecashirt” has twelve letters… let’s hope all the tridecalogisms counteract the darkling-magnet name lol.
i love the shirt i hate haveing books made into movies well the movies
OMG that was me!!!!! Go team Scott Westerfeld!!
Squee!!!!
Laine-wa I thought that if that was shay she would have more tatues cause the beginnibg of the book sayes that she had just gotton another face lift i realy think it is Tally on the cover of the book. and why on earth would Shay be on the cover of a book with Tallys boyfriend that just dosnt make sence.
Kailyx there might be a movie coming out im not for shure but i asked scott and he said there might be and of all the other blogs ive seen it seems everyone knows that it is true!
haddy-la
if they do make amovie im pretty shure that Scott will be directing it so there shouldn’t be much difference between the movie and the book.
Laine-wa
since you seem to know so much about the uglies book maybe you can tell me what is in tallys eye on the cover of the first bookcause i cant seem to figure it out? Thanks!
Judy, um, I don’t think that Scott would direct it. That’s just not how it works. He might be there to check stuff and make sure they’re portraying it all correctly but directing is for directors. Because they know what they are doing.
And on the cover isn’t that a person walking through a door being reflected in her eyes? Or a person standing in light? I never noticed it until you mentioned it. So I went and looked.
yeah, i think it is a person. on the pretties i always thought it was her contacts with the backward clocks in them that shay had in the beginning and tally got later. but i dont know.
I want backwards clocks in MY eyes.
That shirt is fantastic – good job! – and that mug is adorable. Hurrah for the timeline. September is the best month – though I’m biased due to it being my birth month.
Um, really, shouldn’t you be WRITING, not creating t-shirt designs. Although it is kinda cool.
Tridecashirt may have 12 letters,
but TridecashirtS has 13
Happiness!!
5? well it would be cool if he could derect it but sadly he cant
Now, to be fair, you brought up the subject of Midnighters, and also the subject of chronology, so you’ve only got yourself to blame for the following post. Brace yourself.
I was wondering about Midnighters and aging.
Okay, so part of the reason why darklings live so long (from humans’ prospective) is because they are frozen most of the time and only unfreeze (and age) for one hour each day. It takes them 25 of our days to live and age one day in their lives. Judging from this, would it be correct to assume that daylighters, who are frozen during midnight, do not age during that extra hour? But that midnighters *do* age during that extra hour?
So that means midnighters age one hour faster than everyone else, right?
‘Kay, so now you’re wondering why I’m asking about that extra hour.
Well, if midnighters age one hour faster than everyone else, doesn’t that mean their perceived ages are incorrect?
There are 8,760 hours in a daylighter year, but there are 9,125 hours in a midnighter year. So midnighters are 365 hours (15.2 days) older than daylighters for each year that they live.
None of this matters to anyone but a polymath, but my next point does.
If my theory is correct (you doubt me?!), then Rex, Melissa, Dess, and Madeleine, who have lived in Bixby all their lives, are all older than they realize. But Jessica and Jonathan haven’t been there as long, so midnight hasn’t aged them as much.
The end result: midnighters who live in Bixby have shortened lifespans.
A 16-year-old midnighter is 5840 hours (243.3 days) older than a 16-year-old daylighter. A 24-year-old midnighter is actually 25. And a 72-year-old midnighter is really 75.
Okay, so their lives aren’t shortened *that* much, but still. Why hasn’t anyone else noticed this? Why didn’t Dess?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Geez, people, do the math. *sulks*
~Mary S.
P.S. Scott, your books rule the world (mine, at least). So, thanks.
Um…I think Mary is right. I did the math just now (I hate math so that means I was REALLY motivated) and I got the same conclusions as her. And yeah, dosn’t it seem like Dess would have noticed?
Oh, well. Scott still rules. And he can’t really make a forth book in the trilogy so we’re stuck.
-Topaz
Oh, and Kris? Scott can do whatever he wants; write books, make t-shirt designs or create a army of bannana slugs and take over Santa Cruz.
But I agree, we’re all leaning towards writting books.
-Topaz
i say if you wright a GOOD book in the fist place youcan do anything even create a army of bannana slugs and take over Santa Cruz but i think i would takeover a tropical island (like hawii a mythical place thats spelled wrong..)
wow mary! you did alot of work. but it is a very good point. did scott think of that when he wrote the book?
(spoiler for blue noon!)
well, we know he kind of thought about it in blue noon, because dess talked about jessica and jonathan and how it would get gross after a while with her only living one hour a day. that was a run-on sentance!
Awesome t-shirt, I’m so going to try to make one! And great math work!
And then what?
Captin Cocateil I realy dont know what the thing in her eye is i always thought that it was just a person with a hoverboard or a sersion about to prefor sergerie or a speacial i really dont know and even if he dosnt direct the movie totaly i cant weight to see it i read uglies pretties and specials in 4 days and im realy excited about seaing it last time i talked to scott he talked to me ive also e-mailed him so ill see what i get back!
haddy-la
he told me that they were deciding wether him or someone elss should direct it who would be the best director they dont know yet.
captin cocateil
do you think maybe the thing in her eye is the peson who is taking the pic. and they left it in there for people who are very observent to find and wonder about i realy just dont know!!!
do yall live in India or something cause yall have a different time zone than i do todays date here is January 20, 2007 and it is 4:03PM and i was just wondering cause i live in the United States and Texas,if anyone wants to tell me where they live that would be cool.
Im sorry I just realized something I said January 20th its the 29th here
it the 29th here at 6:42 pm to be exact!
Scott lives in Australia.
That is so cool that he lives in Austrailiea but why does the thing say that it is tomarow and not today
Of course he may live in Ausie land but he realy lives all over the world cause he travels and he keeps us updated. Im at school right now so i’d better get TTYL
it weird that it can be the same time, buit its really a different time. ya know? IT MUST BE REALLY HAR TO DEAL WITH THE 12 HOUR JETLAG-oops caps log. i had trouble with a nine hour one from hungary to CA. it sucked.
ya i bet it did were do you live amy

scott,you are awesome, can’t wait to read book 3…just got into your books, i read uglies, pretties,specials, midnighters 1,2, and not yet 3…but i have read peeps and the last days…you have me hooked!!!!keep on goin!
mary s,you are totally awesome..you are like a polymath, its amazing, how did you figure that out??You must be really into the books!!! Very IMPRESSIVE!
ps. i read 3 of scott’s books in one day, anyone read more than that in a day?
Haha, my english teacher got me hooked on the Uglies series, and since I started taking the libray aide class(hey, it’s senior year, I wasn’t goinng to take Physics II AP anymore), I’ve read most all of your books. I just finished Midnighters (and sacrficed my calculus homework in the process) and can’t wait to read the next books in the series!
I could have read that many in one day if it werent for me being so buysy I have chores and I have to feed and water and untangle 20 german shepards also i am packing cause be are moving and also I almost got killed by one of the german shepards it got loose and was trying to kill my chinees krusties and so i was trying to kick it off of him and he came after me so I ran into the house and was looking for the 357 bullets cause my mom doesnt tell me where anything is anymore but instead i found my moms 22 so i took it out and shot in the air 2wice but it didnt fase him so he started coming after me again and i shot at him and got him he died a few days ago also i got a blue ribbon in archury and so at first I was shooting him with that but what good that did i aimed at the inside of his mouth and he moved so it went through his lip,,, also hes an x-border patrole dog so that is why he was like that he was trained to kill and hes killed 2 humans b-4 but he is dead now and i regrett getting the gun out or finding it but i was alone i couldnt do anything elss.
Well TTYL i think that he is the best author in this intire world but that is my opinion but is there just one world this is something the world may never know. Keep righting untill the world stops spinning!!!!!!!!!!!
i read uglies, pretties, the secrete hour and another book- but the last one wasnt written by scott. and i was sick. so had alot of time. plus i have NO life whatsoever, im pathetic.
ditto
i read pretties and specials in one day but i was going clear across the state in a car with only my brothers and my mom…very boring so i read pretties in the car and specials later that night until 2AM. i coulda read uglies that day but i left it at home so yeah…there’s pretty much the story of my life…ha
I read a whole quartet in one day, then started on another. It was insane. And before reading the first quartet I had finished another book. That’s about six books, right? Maybe more…
And in the summer I do even better, finishing usually over seven books a week. I have no life.
well I would kindof rather have no life cause then i wouldnt have to worie about anything except wethr or not im going to finush a book or not,
I’m from Washington, so. Judy, we’re probably near the same time zone.
And, as for books-in-a-day, I am right up there with Capt.
And, Haddy-la? I agree–tropical islands would be fun to take over. But the U of Santa Cruz’s mascot is the bannana slug so that’s why I said we should take it over with an army of slugs. Slugs are pretty cool, hmm?
-Topaz
if i spent that much time reading about somthing that would teach me. i would be really smart.
i read allllll the time i read twilight and new moon (not scott its stephen meyer who is tied fro first w/ scoot on my fav. authors) midnighters 1 and 2 AND finished the 2nd half of wicked in one day. I read amazingly fast. btw all those books i read were wicked awsome. I need more midnighters. Scott should so write a sequel series to midnighters king of like extras with the uglies/pretties/specials thing. i neeeeed to know what happens after they split up and all. i so wanted rex and melissa to get hooked up and go out with each other. i feel bad for dess. she had no midnighter friend(ie jessica/jonathan (who i am in love with) and rex/melisa)
why does it say its 5:56? its 1:56 here. i think he is on arizona time or california on this website. i think that timezone i 4 hours apart from mine.
Well that is so cool that you live in washington have you been to the white house maybe you can e-mail me some pictures from there have you ever seen the president in person not talked to him just seen him
it is 3:23 here right now in texas and Scott lives in Austrailia i herd from capt. cocatiel
Hey Johnathan lover where do you live in Oklahoma or something
you must live in California or Arizona cause he is on Austrailian time I looked it up
go to http://www.ask.com and type in what time is it in australia and you will know what time it is
yeah, not in california time, i know that
It seems that the Australia time is throwing everyone off these days! But why are they so concerned? Does it really matter? Shouldn’t we accept Australia time? I will, and I will show up to school super early. Ha ha! That would be fun. Our Social Studies teacher is always explaining time zones to us, and he’ll start talking about how you could live in your own time but then you’d be locked up. Hmmm…
Oh my gosh!!!
I was serching Cowlick, USA (don’t ask) and I came up with this website: http://www.storie.it/contenuti/Adue-frame.HTM
Okay, not to weird, right? But the third person down is named SHAY YOUNGBLOOD! Weird, huh? Huh? Huh?
Seriously! Check it out! Shay Youngblood! Coincidence? I think not!
-Topaz
http://bba804ev.piczo.com/?preview=y&g=27880250&cr=7&rfm=y it the scott weserfeld young adult book page
i made check it out
Hey, guys, there is gonna be a midnighters TV show. Check out imdb.com, and search for midnighters. It says it’ll come out in 2007, but that you have to join their club or whatever to find out more.
Also, what’s all this talk about an Uglies movie? Dontcha think it would be kinda insulting for an actor to be cast as an “ugly”? Maybe they’ll just do makeup or sumting.
BTW, who here lives in NorCal?
PeepGrrl uglies arenormal people but in the book people are brainwashed to think their ugly and you can look up midnighters on tv on the search bar to see a post for it
yeah peep girl. they were looking at magazine models and saying they were ugly. so, all of us are uglies. the pretties just would have to be EXTREMELY beautiful.
Though you must admit, going home and saying to your mother “Hey, Mom! I just got my big break as an ugly!” is not so glamorous.
My Scott Westerfeld checklist:
Uglies: yep!
Pretties: yep!
Specials: yep!
Peeps: yep!
The Last Days: yep! (just finished today)
Risen Empire: yep!
Killing of Worlds: yep!
Midnighters 1: yep!
Midnighters 2: yep!
Midnighters 3: yep!
So Yesterday: yep!
Doing pretty well huh? Is there anything else for me to read?
Thanks for whoever said Shay and Zane were on the cover of Pretties. I guess that makes sense. I just wondered because the Uglies and Specials faces (probably Tally) have a more similar face shape (she has to be vaguely similar as an ugly and a special because David recognized her, right?) but the Pretties face is really different. Anyway.
Has anyone ever read Mergers by Steven Layne? It’s pretty good…kinda like Uglies in a way,but different. I recommend this book to Uglies fans. Anyways I just finished it today and because I was reading it all day and didn’t do any work, I can no longer go to my friend’s house to watch the Super Bowl…bummer. Anyways Steven Layne is coming to our school on…Wednesday…I think. But yes it shall be exciting! I recommend This Side of Paradise by him too!
Oh my gosh…this is weird…it’s only 6:50 PM here, but when I posted the comment before this, the time said 11:50. What’s up with that?
Once again, the Australian time has baffled another mind.
On, this sight is on Australian time, and it never changes back to time anywhere else in the world where Scott may or may not be. Australian it is, Australian it stays.
coolio i thought it was on west coast time. ( il ive on the east coast)
THE TIME ZONE- the most confusing thing to Scott Westerfeld readers. anyway, that book sounds good, whats its about?
The last time I checked, west coast is only 3 hours different from east coast… so, yeah. I know because all my relatives live in New York.
yeah me too (im fromn philly) but i thought it was 4 hour difference. o well. what ever
it’s not australian time. it’s east coast australian time. I’m in PErth! That’s on the west coast of australia.
hey you there???….
are u on the site?
im a little confused. what?
I’m confused, too. We had been talking about time… but now it’s all a bit jumbled. Hopefully no one else will be boggled by the time on this site.
To all you guys who replied to my last comment, I know that Uglies are normal people. DUH! I was saying what Capt. Cockatiel was saying: That although Uglies are normal people, not many actors would want to be cast as an ugly, and then see an actor who is “more gorgeous” than them play the same character in a “better” phase. Pretty self-confidence reducing. Not that any of that about being “more gorgeous” is true, but I’m sure an actor would DEFINATELY feel that way.
Oh, to Amy [that’s my best friend’s name, she has pink highlights and I have purple..not that any of you guys would care..ha] Anyways, Mergers is about these four different people (each a different race) and they all have special powers (telepathic, empathic, morphing, and time turning/traveling) They have to take down this physco dude that “merged” all the different races and that’s not the way the world’s supposed to be, so they gotta change it back to the way it is. It reminded me of Uglies cause like all the people look exactly alike except for the gender. Oh and no one knows that they were all merged except for some people cause the physco dude went back in time and changed all the documents that let people know that different races once existed..what a meanie! I thought it was good. So yeah, you all should read it too! Oh, yeah I thought the author of Mergers was coming today..but he’s not coming ’til the 23rd..ha, my mistake. But it’s still gonna be sweet! Ok..I really need to stop avoiding my homework..which means I need to leave this site..darn..I’ll find some other way to procrastinate!..ha
Oh! I thought of something about Australia when I was going back and reading all the other comments when I was supposed to be doing my homework. My basketball coach used to be a professional basketball player down in Australia!..that’s all for now!..I need more ideas to avoid homework you guys..I mean this sight is great and everything, but I need more! Homework is evil! Seriously! Learning is supposed to be done at school, not at home! Well, I guess I don’t mind it..except when you have homework due in every single subject due for tomorrow!..okay I’m gettin’ off track..this is a Scott Westerfeld site, not a complain about your homework sight..hmm..Scott’s books rock! Fricken awesome man! I wanna meet him someday..he should come to our school! How often does he go to schools? Hey! If I go Thailand to visit my family sometime, maybe I can find him there, since he goes there a lot! Yes! Score! Ha..I might be going this year when my dad comes back from Kuwait! Whoo! Scott Westerfeld, here I come!..man I talk a lot..everyone tells me that actually. Those Uglies movie people need to get their butt in gear and have that movie come out sooner! Okay..it’s gettin’ late..stupid homework! Laters
that sounds good. i thinki will read it. what is everyone all-time favourite book(outside os scotts books!)? i need some really good books, and all of us seem to ike the same type.
Hmmm, so I can’t pick So Yesterday?! Curses… well, then I’d have to say (get ready!):
Cirque du Freak — Darren Shan, Faerie Wars — Herbie Brennan, Backwater –Joan Bauer, and (oh, how can I just pick one more?) The Riddles of Epsilon — Christine Morton-Shaw.
So, there’s a list, though the last one is the best. I’m reading it again, though it’s still not up there with my 5 times of reading So Yesterday. Or was it 6…?
you should definatly read twilight and new moon bye stephenie meyer. wicked and son of a witch by gregory mcguire are really good too. i second faerie wars, the purple emperor, and ruler of the relm. they are vey good
Oh um…The Prophecy of the Stones by Flavia Bujor is good. Its genre is more fantasy than science fiction. The author is like high school aged. It made me cry at the end..yeah, I know, very pathetic. But then, Specials made me cry at the end too.
the city of ember, the people of sparks, the prophet of yonwood, all by jeanne duprau all but the last one is set in the futer where the world died. they are alot like The Giver
wow, thanks guys!i will have alot to read now.
I did not cry at the end of The Prophecy of the Stones, nor at the end of Specials. I’ve never cried at the end of a book or movie. People will be crying around me (during a movie) and yet I am not sad at all. It’s kind of strange.
Hope you enjoy the books, Amy!
Well, I usually don’t cry..well just not a lot..well ok, if it’s sad then I’ll cry..but other than that I usually don’t cry!..ha so yeah I almost died tonight! I had basketball practice and there’s this really BIG girl on my team and she almost drove me into the floor..ha! So are any of you guys Grey’s Anatomy watchers?..where are you all even from anyways?..I’m from Nebraska! Dear old Nebraska!
Grey’s Anatomy?! I am a House fan. House is the only medical show that I watch. House. House. House. House. Sorry.
I am from the Pacific Northwest. Nowhere special… but we have special rain. It has author-attracting abilities. Sort of.
Where’s the Pacific Northwest and what’s house all about? My friend was tellin’ me about it, but I haven’t tuned into it yet. If it’s about medical stuff, then it’ll probably be good cause I’m into that kinda stuff.
The Pacific Northwest is Oregon and Washington and Northern California. I live in Washington. Seattle. With the special rain. Though maybe you missed all of those comments by Topaz and I way back in September or October? Anyways.
House is THE BEST doctor show ONE EARTH. House is the best character — he’s so funny, and witty and sarcastic. You must watch it! He has a cane…
On the subject of books, anything from the Ender series is AWESOME, especially Speaker for the Dead. I also recommend Tithe and Valiant, both by Holly Black, anything by Piers Anthony, and A Skanner Darkly, by Philip K. Dick.
OH, and i LOVE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!
i like greys anatomy and house. oh i just read these really good books called ‘blue is for nightmares”white is for magis’ and two more in the series. i reccomend them to everyone. and peepgrrl, thanks i think i have read a piers anthony book.
the only book i have ever cryed at the end of was pheonix rising. that was saaddddddddddd 🙁 i loved ezra. (main character’s boyfriend) i wont tell you what happens in case you decide to read it. it was really good.
Ha..I’m plannin’ to go to college in Washington for medical school, but that’s not gonna be for another eight years! Plus Washington has an awesome volleyball program. I gotta give them props for beating Nebraska in the Championships last year, but we won this year so it’s all good. Oh anyone ever heard of Cynthia Voigt? I just started reading one of her books.
Yeah, I’ve heard of her, but I can’t think of anything she’s written. Anybody have any movie recommendations? It doesn’t have to be sci fi/ fantasy, just good.
Oh! You have to see The Guardian..it made me cry lol. But yeah I finally got one of my friends to read one of Scott’s books for her book report. She’s readin’ Uglies and so yeah I hope she likes it. And I’m a big Will Farell fan so you have to check out Talladega Nights. It’s really dumb, but I find stuff like that funny.
yeah! the guardian! it was so sad! awwww
My favorite movie of all time is Dragonheart. But another great movie is Millions, which is based off a book. The author was originally a screenwriter, so he wrote the screenplay. It was really good, but the book is even more hilarious!
wasnt cynthia voigt (or something like that) the one who wrote my sister’s keeper? i started reading that and im about half way through. that is so sad.
I’m tryin’ to think of another good movie..oh! The Notebook is really good..but it’s like a chick flick, so yeah. I heard the Prestige was really good. I’m goin’ to Night at the Museum tonight with some friends and some of my other friends said it was good cause they went last night. I heard Freedom Writers was good too.
Man, Scott hasn’t blogged anything in a while!..just noticed that, ha.
I have no clue what else Cynthia wrote. But I just finished Homecoming by her, and now I’m starting on Dicey’s Song.
why do you like the gardian it made what to laugh and barf at how bad it was. but house rox
scott needs to blog
“Triskaidekaphobia” is the scientific name for what is believed to be one of the most common superstitions: the fear of the number 13. thats funny and hers the wiki page for it its prety cool

Our school blocked that site from us. It’s so dumb, our school pretty much blocks everything on the internet, so what’s the point of gettin’ all these computers if they’re not gonna let us do anything on it.
that is so dumb wiki rox
See the vidio on my page http://bba804ev.piczo.com/?preview=y&g=27880250&cr=7&rfm=y
My home computer blocks wiki. Crazy father and his computer blocks! Wikipedia is supposed to help me! And I needed it for a report, too. Arg.
i know i hate when the computer blocks things you need for a project. stupid controls
Hey, ImInLoveWithJonathan. Jodi Picoult wrote my sister’s keeper.
Yeah, that’s who I thought wrote it! My mom reads all books by Jodi Picoult. So I’ve seen it around the house. But I don’t really keep track of my mother’s favorite authors, unless something like this happens and I remember. So yeah.
I don’t really have a “favorite” author, there’s just too many out there, and they’re all awesome! But Scott is a super awesome author..totally different category.
I have a bazillion ‘favorite’ authors…
thanks yeah i figured that out when i went up into my room and saw it on my dresser. but thanks.
i know her from somewhere i just cat remember what book i read of hers. its really bothering me now.
I stole the second pic and actually did make it into a shirt! WHAT NOW SUCKER!!!
I’m confuesed about the last like 3 chapters in Midnighters:Blue Noon. What the freaking hell happened to Jessica and why is everyone leaving? HELP i need to understand or im gonna go bannanas! LOL
SCOTT I BEG YOU! RIGHT ANOUTHER MIDNIGHTERS THEY’RE WICKED AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg scott westerfeld is like the best author in the world and he needs to write another book in the midnighters series
I’m a HUGE Midnighter fan, so thanks so much for the shirt template. I also can’t wait to see the movie! The only problem with using Knightly and Swank; Tally’s only 15, not quite an adult.
Dude, they need a midnighters movie too. When I become a famous actress, I will
HAVE to be in that. Plus, I have so many ideas. Watch them make a movie without me, and then I’ll be pissed that it wasn’t exactly as I evisioned it, and that it didn’t star me…
