1000 Sk8rs

Posted on by scott

Update: It’s the 4th of July, so I won’t be posting today. Relax. Go watch fireworks and quit hitting refresh!

A few post ago, I covered the crumbling building across the street. Well, as my pal Scalzi mentioned on his blog, earlier that afternoon a horde of skaters roared down my street as part of Go Skateboarding Day.

I took video of them, but I was lame back then and wasn’t into posting video. But I am no longer lame!

I’ve finally joined the 21st century (or at least the latter half of the first decade thereof) and am posting video of the event:

They filled the avenue, baffled traffic, and took about ten minutes to all go by. The roaring was audible way up here on the seventh floor through double-paned windows! Reader, it stirred the blood.

And after you watch the video: Be kind, rewind.

  5. Woo that’s awesome!!! And the viddy is cool, I never knew there was an official skateboarder day haha I know so many people who would love to do that

  7. My parents suck. I can’t watch the video because they refuse to get high-speed internet.

  8. It is 10:40 hear and I was just thinking, “Hey, I think I will check the blog now,” and whadoyou Know, I WAS SECOND

    SOOOOOOOOOOOO CLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE

  10. i was checking this site all day, waiting for a new post, and now that there was one … i got 9th place!!!! i say this is a rip-off! (to see what i mean, check how many times i posted for the post before this one!)

  18. AHH! I MISSED IT! D: I’ve been sitting here all friggin’ day waiting for a blog entry and my window FROZE and then I missed it . . . –growls at my stupid computer–

    –runs around in circles screaming my head off as I hit my head on things–

    Not really though, but that’s what I feel like doing right now – or at least smashing my computer, but then I won’t get a second chance to post first on this friggin’ blog =P

    I admit it, I’m obsessed . . . And I’ve probably scared Scott away from Bakersfield for life – possibly away from California altogether o.o

    I .. /WILL/ .. get .. that .. SAMPLER! I hope –eye twitch– o.e

  20. I was sleeping!! If you go on youtube you can watch a video of 5 Skateboarders getting arested for skateboarding on the streets in Hot Springs. One police choked a kid and there friend was taping it so theres a mess about that.

  21. Great video. Congratulations to whoever won the sampler. Everyone seems to be on steroids about winning one. haha.

  23. I Know where you live AshAngelAk
    *evil laugh*

    (ok, fine, I don’t, but I will get that sampler)
    muahahaha!!!!

  29. Alright, we understand. I just hope that every post from now to October 2 isn’t flooded with dozens of comments from every single person who didn’t win the sampler.

  30. HAHA! it probably will be flooded xD I’ll stop when I get the sampler, though 😀 Then I’ll be happy –nods alknowingly–

  34. OKay, I am going to shut up right after this comment, but that was kind of a hint to everyone NOT to spam.

  36. why did i get off the computer????? why was i making a pizza????? why was i watching the fresh prince of bel-air instead of on the computer???? WHY?????

  38. ok, i am not THAT obsesed*!!! i just think it would be awesome to be able to read the sampler before october 2nd. but if i dont get it, i can wait for october 2nd!

    *i lied! (see july 2nd’s comments, i am there a lot saying i will die without it!)

  40. I have a life! It’s just on the computer and in my mind and in books o.o But I have a TINY life out of it, but that’s dying because I’m kinda depressed for now – and not for this reason though =P

  42. ps i was making a pizza because i was hungry. but i did make it at 10:35* eastern.

    or 9:35 central, 8:35 mountain, or 7:35 pacific! (US times only, if you live somewhere else, do the math yourself, unless you just dont care, then do nothing!)

  46. my life is very boring. this is what i do EVERY day!

    wake up
    watch tv
    eat lunch
    watch tv
    go on computer
    play DDR
    watch tv
    parents come home
    watch tv
    eat dinner
    watch tv
    go on computer
    watch tv
    fall asleep

    see, boring!

  48. People are always complaining that I don’t have a life and my dad yells at me a lot because I’m always on the computer. But I have reasons that no one understands. They’re too busy yelling at me so every time people are all going on about people actually having a life, I’m all effected by it o.o

    The reason is that no one listens to me. I’m pretty much invisible. Everyone’s always yelling at me to get off the computer, but when I do, everyone just sees right through me. It’s like:

    Sam: I’m sooo bored!
    Maigen: Me too
    Me: Me three.
    Sam: So what do you want to do?
    Maigen: I don’t know.
    Me: I have an idea!
    Sam: I’m sooo bored . . .
    Maigen: Me too . . .

    that’s an actual conversation that happened. And another one was when I was walking in the mall with Katie, and I was walking right in plain sight right next to her talking my head off. And then Katie turns around and jumps and yells in surprise and then starts yelling at me because I “snuck up” on her . . .

    And just the thought of talking in large groups in person makes me want to cry.

    And recently, three fourths of my “friends” – real friends included – stopped talking to me for some reason. They won’t even say why, they just stopped getting on and Amaris even gets on every day and “logs off” when I try to say “hi” Amaris is my sister-in-law . . .

  50. My wake up, eat
    go on computer
    read book
    go on computer
    watch tv
    eat
    watch tv
    read
    go on computer
    sleep

  51. Gosh this time zone thing is confusing. I live in the eastern time zone… so it would just be a lot easier if scott switched the times to new york times. Goodness!

    Oh, hey! Would you look at that? It’s the fourth of July!

  52. My life is very simple and boring to other people. But I don’t consider it boring at ALL. I’m always in my head all the time and that’s where all the action is. I have an EXTREMELY complex mind. Sadly, this is getting in the way of the story I’m writing and I have the middle third of the story and it’s going sooo smoothly, but I can’t write the begining – it just DOESN’T flow right and I can’t figure out why! I think I’m gunna try writing it backwards from the middle right now o.o

  53. i know how you feel, kaliana. i had these two friends (i only had three at the time!) that one day wouldnt talk to me! when i called them they “werent home” or “doing homework”! i was so sad! one day i went to one of the girls house. we hung out for a little bit when she called the other girl. she was watching a movie, but when i called her about five minutes earlier, she wasnt home! she was more than five minutes into that movie! i was so0o0o0o0o0o0o sad!!!

  57. kalianna-write about all the interesting ideas first and THEN think about how it flows

  59. Urgh, I was checking every other MINUTE, and then I got sucked into this great book and all of a sudden it’s nine and there are FIFTY-SIX comments.

  61. I have the WHOLE thing thought out in detail. I could write a sentence for each paragraph and it’ll flow fine, but I can’t write the actual paragraphs

  64. Kaliana, I’ve decided that you need to eat some chocolate. Chocolate makes everything better. Seriously.

    Plus, I don’t know why you guys are complaining about having multiple friends… I only really have one. And right now she’s on vacation with her family.

  65. Yeah. I think I’ve actually gotten the first post in ONE of these things once. But there was no Extras sampler contest at the time – how depressing.

  67. samantha-wa, ONLY ONE FRIEND?!?!?!?! i would die if i only had one friend!!! i have a ton of friens now! (see story above!)

  69. I have one friend in person – Sam. And I have one other friend in person who I don’t consider really an official friend yet. And the rest are all internet friends and penpals . . .

  70. I mean, there IS my church group, but I don’t consider them really my official friends yet either because I don’t talk to them enough or hang out with them and I mostly only know them at church – when people are at church, they’re often different people than when they’re out of church o.o

  71. I only have one actual friend. Everybody else are just people I talk to in school. I used to have two, but she ditched me for the popular crowd.

  72. ugh, the popular crowd. They’re sooo lame!

    I finally realized just a couple years ago that being popular and being well-known are two completely different things o.o

    Sam realized a few years ago that the populars only care about looks – she realized that because she was IN the popular crowd and then she started getting acne and was ditched instantly.

  73. ok, i dont have a ton of friends … but i hang out with a lot of people. there are a few people i truly consiter a “friend”.

  76. I avoid the popular crowd all the time. In seventh grade I was FINALLY back into public school, and everyone wanted me in the popular group, right? Because I was new and seemed innocent enough and they wanted to drag me to the dark side. I was in the WORST classes! My mum forgot to have me put in the advanced classes, so I was all super smart and people were all trying to cheat off me and trying to make me be a popular because they all wanted me to let them cheat – because I have WAYS of getting people to not cheat off my work – and I nearly broke a kid’s hand for trying to steal things out of my backpack.

    Lucky for me, I was all antisocial and they were all trying to get me into their group and I was all – after thoroughly examining them – said, “Uh . . . no . . .” My thoughts were like, “No way, you losers, get away from me.”

    Then they were all putting 12-inch long 4-inch wide pieces of tape in my hair and junk like that, it was insane. The teachers didn’t even TRY to stop it!

    Let’s see what I did to them . . . one person stole my brand new pens that I LOVED and tried to take off with it – I grabed her hair, pulled back so she’d let go, and picked them all up – prying the ones left in her hands out. She didn’t try to fight back – although her friends did – I just shook them off and left. This one guy tried to take my pack and I stomped on his arm as hard as I could – turns out, they had their arm under the desk and over one of the bars on the bottom and I nearly broke bones. This one girl put the tape in my hair and I just tore it out without showing even the slightest amount of pain. They were following me around and I ignored them, when they touched me, I simply pulled away – grabed their arm and twisted back if I had to. And this one moron decided to write “Fish” on the back of my FAVORITE jacket with a sharpie and I got him kicked out of all my classes . . . And for everyone, I drew hate pictures for them all and wrote violent poetry about their deaths which I passed around class.

    I never got in trouble for any of this xD

  77. I have like one best friend. and then she went to a different school. now I have another best friend… but I have more guy-friends then girl-friends. I want a sampler. and I just came on here seeing if he had another post and I didn’t know he was giving them away! =O now I’ll have to be on this everyday lol. and Amy I want some pizza!! =P

  79. Kailana, same here. everyone trys to cheat off of me. and then they get mad when I’m like NO! Some guy tried to steal an iPod cord out of my backpack. then I caught him and he just walked away.

  83. I recently left the popualar crowd. I called them my friends but all I did was just eat with them and they never said a word at lunch. I still talk to them in class and there nice but now I have 2 friends. I text them everyday. One doesn’t go to my school so I don’t get to see her as much. I’m happy now.

  84. people try to cheat off of me too! in the fourth grade, i caught someone cheating off my test, so i told the teacher! (i was a tattle-tell in elemetary school!) THE TEACHER DID NOTHING!!! i was so0o0oo mad!

  85. OMG! SHE DID NOT! Cassidy sent a mail on myspace to one of the guys at my church who I like saying that I have a crush on him O.O And I just mailed him saying “hi”! –absolutely terrified–

  86. in elemantary school, my best friend was the most popular girl in the class. but in middle school, i was less popular. i wouldnt want to be popular any way! all the popular kids are stuck up, mean, and preps! i hate preps!

  88. ooh, that sucks (In regards to Kaliana). has anyone actually let people cheat off of them? I have, just to make them quit bugging me. but it was on like a useless piece of paper that we weren’t graded on.. I feel bad about it..

  89. xD Oh my gosh, this one little girl is sooo stuck up! She was playing with us in orchestra – normally the sixth graders don’t play with the older kids. Anyways, she was having trouble with the music we were learning and I was trying to help her. All she did was stare at me with this HORRIBLE look on her face and told me in this horrible, snotty way that she didn’t NEED help. Then she continued. Later that day, we were all playing together and she was the only one who couldn’t get the music and got humiliated in front of class xD

  92. Oh, here’s a way to get people NOT to cheat off you! You let them see, and then you write down the wrong answer on purpose and then when they’re all done, you go over and whole thing and put the right answers when they’re not looking because they think they’re done with it and will pass. It’s sooo funneh to see the looks on their faces when I get 100 percent and they get like . . . 0 percent xD And they wonder how it happened.

  94. I only let people cheat off of my spelling homework in eighth grade. We always passed around the completed homework packages – writing down the answers – in math class xD And I’ve actually cheated off the ones being handed around. No one ever found out o.o Mr. Price might have, but he didn’t do anything xD

  95. lol. we were doing homework in Algebra (it was close to the end of the year) and people were just talking asking people for the answers loud enough for our teacher to hear and she didn’t do anything about it. I love how this thread is spam-o-licious.

  97. -in reference to Heather- that stinks. I think I was reading when this was posted. lol.

  98. Aww, man. I was at Rib Fest (I saw heart! yay).
    Go skateboarding day honestly sounds better than a similar program here in Chicago- a whole bunch of people biking by…naked.

  99. =P I just told my parents about cheating on spelling homework, and they said that it wasn’t cheating because we still had to make up examples for ourselves and since we were reading it and still getting good grades, we were still learning the lesson and that was all the matters xD So I’m allowed to cheat on homework like that in public school xDxDxD

  101. Kaliana… maybe you should listen to some music,too. Chocolate and music make life awesome. Oh! and reading. Reading, listening to music and eating chocolate! That…for me, is one of the many recepies for happiness.

    And then sleep. That’s happy-making, too. Goodnight.

  103. lmao. listening to music, eating chocolate, and reading. that IS happy-making. I shall remember that.

  105. =P xD I listen to music ALL THE TIME! That’s the . . . fourth thing I do most often 😀 Here’s my list of the top ten things I do most often:

    1. Think and write stories in my head, most of which I’ll forget later.
    2. Play on the computer
    3. Talk to people on the computer
    4. Listen to meh FAVORITE musics on the computer.
    5. Hang out with my friends
    6. Pray
    7. Read
    8. Go out and do things by myself
    9. Go out and do things with my church youth group
    10. Actually WRITE DOWN my stories xD

  108. I tried to get my friend to read Uglies. He was all “Reading’s for ugly people. I’m busy being sexy right now.”

    But then again, this is the same guy that didn’t know what the word ‘anonymous’ meant. He got to page 2 and gave up so we went to a movie.

  110. oh darn it! in New York time this post went up at 10:34, and i last checked the site at 10:05. i should’ve stayed up later…but i have to work today (4th of July=SUPER BUSY!), so i couldn’t. i am frustrated with myself i always seem to check at the wrong times.

    haha i’m listening to music right now too! Goo Goo Dolls and Nelly Furtado, anyone?

  111. If you don’t like rants, skip this part.

    [rant]Gosh, I feel bad for Scott’s poor blog page.. its drowning in spam. Seriously, if what you want to put in your comment isn’t related to Scott’s post or blog, or the winner of the book, don’t bother, because its a waste of everyone’s time to have to wade through other people’s life schedules and elementary stories or whatever. If there’s someone you want to talk to, get their email address. If you’re just posting to whine about not winning; its not going to get you anywhere, and its annoying. So can it. please and thankyou. [/rant]

    That said, Scott , great video, and congrats to todays winner.

  112. Well hey Isabel I agree about the spamming. Might make Scott think we don’t care about what he has to post or something. Though, with this talk he might be getting book ideas…Who knows!

    I showed that video to a few of my friends and they thought it was awesome Haha I knew they’d like it.

    Ahh but yea I gotta head to work…Talk to you all later

  113. sorry. I was bored and we were having a conversation. the video is cool though. =P

  119. Happy 4th of July!

    Scott, I can’t wait for the twofer at InSideADog!

  122. Ok, today is my birthday and i didn’t make it…………well that’s kool!!I ‘ve always wanted to learn how to skateboard. Ugh, i’m stuck at home al by myself since my friends are all busy today………

  125. tales from the mind of an extremly bored future author:

    I woke up to the sound of my cars dying engine. Shards of glass were scattered all over the dashboard and my cloths were stained with blood.
    “Dad!” I tried to scream but the only sound that escaped my throat was a hoarse whisper.
    I tried to sit up but the slightest movement rent my skull in two. I waited, unmoving, untill the pain subsided to a dull throbbing before attempting to rise again.
    Finally able to look past the reckage before me, I was beginning to understand what had happened.
    My father, consumed in one of his rages, had narrowly missed hitting the skateboarder that came out of nowhere and drove into a ditch, but my dad was not on the seat next to me.
    Slowly and painfully I dragged myself out and laid on the grass. crying and moaning when I discovered my broken arm. I looked around for anything familiar and caught sight of a human sized lump on the ground directly in front of the car.
    “DAD!” I sreamed and frantically ran to his side, but the only repy was my scream of agony when I discovered thay he was already gone.

    what do you think?

  127. tales from the mind of an extremely bored future author:

    “Did you hear what Tally Youngblood did?”
    “I heard she had to chop off her arm.”
    “That’s totally bogus.”
    “How did she run away?”
    “Why did she run away?”
    It had barely been a day sinse tally escaped New Pretty Town but already new rumors were spreading. Amidst all the chatter brand new pretty, Lea, was trying to get past it all and focus on impressing, and hopefully joining, the new crims.
    Lea had never been a normal ugly. With her larger than natural deep blue eyes, full lips and almost perfectly proportioned face, she had been the closest to a natural pretty in over 80 years. Now that she was surounded by people who looked just like her, she had to find other ways of standing out.
    “Hey, Lea-la!” It was Sillia. She had been lea’s best friend for almost a year after her other best friend Fae dicided to join the smoke, but she never retured when the smoke was captured.
    “Hey, Sil-wa, what’s up,”
    “Just some last minute advise,” she said,”Don’t sound too impressed with Tally’s great escape, she’s not your role model, and stay bubbly, but don’t be too extreme….yet.”
    “I’ve completely got this,” lea said,”Oh, this is soooooo nervous-making!”

  128. Ooh I am liking that allichie. Sounds a lot like something that would really go into one of Scott’s books. There are a few typos, but hey in the writing business that’s the editor’s job to take care of ;P

  129. *takes a bow*
    I would like to thank my parents for buying my books and I would like to thank all of you out there who love my stories

    PS. Is the first one too depressing?

  130. Kool i will be on the cumpter all day for the rest of the summer. i just got it back from the apple store. cause it has been crashed for the last 14 days.

  131. I am in the mistd of writing a book. i have about 10 pgs so far so i want to no if you guys like it?

    The Unnamed Book

    This was her first day of high school in Dallas, Texas. She was the new girl. And she hated it. She saw so many possible friends (that she could make, if her mom and dad kept their jobs, this time.) she had missed open house. But luckily her sister went and they had all the same classes. And their lockers were next to each other. And her sister already had friends. So she had left. Megan was still trying to navigate the hallways.
    She had moved all over the world. She knew four languages other than English. She had moved from the United States four years ago. That was their fist move. They moved to Spain, then Portugal, next china, then France, the back to were they started California, then to now, Texas. But she predicted that if they moved again it would be to Russia so her forin langue class, was Russian.
    Then the first bell rang and woke her up from the dreaded memories of moving so much. She never had time for a boyfriend. And she doubted that her parents would let her. But she was turning sixteen. Any normal girl would have had her first kiss by now. And maybe be on her three hundredth Boyfriend. But she was not a normal girl.
    Then some jerk bumped into her and all of her stuff fell. That’s when she saw him, the mysterious Bad boy/ heart breaker, and the talk of the school. Apparently, he was one of the most popular boys in school and an asshole. When he saw her on the floor picking up her books he came running.
    “Do you need some help?” he asked
    “ Ya, Thanks.” She said
    “I don’t think I have seen you before, I mean are you knew, you know, to this school?” she wondered why it was so hard for him to say those words. She hadn’t heard about him having trouble talking to girls. Everyone said that he was a Bad Boy. And the perfect boyfriend. And a heart breaker.
    “Ya, I just moved here from California. My name is Megan.” She said looking into his deep blue eyes. Then an awful thought came to her he has to have a girlfriend. So she looked away quickly.
    “My name is Jacob. And if you need anything I am one locker down from you.” He said. When a wicked smile forming on his beautiful face. And she wondered how long he had been watching her. She was to busy trying to get to her first class before the late bell rang.
    He read her thoughts clearly form her face and looked down at her schedule. And said, “ Well, you know, you are standing in the door way of your Social Studies class room.” She felt that she was blushing and thought that her face was probably bright red.

    So she walked in the classroom. Then she sat down only to find Jacob across the room looking at her. She smiled back and turned around to find Mrs. Flatmen (the most hated teacher in the school) looking at her. Megan smiled coldly. Trying to show that she wasn’t scared. But it didn’t work.
    “What’s your name young lady?” Mrs. Flatmen asked.
    “ My name is Megan …”
    “ Your our new student, aren’t you, Mrs. Megan May.” That’s when, right on time, everybody started to laugh. Except one boy. Jacob.
    “Alright then, class settle down. Today we will be getting our textbooks.” Mrs. Flatmen said. But it sounded more like an order. Megan had only been in this class for five minutes and her teacher already hated her. And she had to sit through fifty more minutes of class with Mrs. Flat- Man.
    When the bell rang she got up and was the first one out. She was only one class into the day and she already had a migraine. So she froze the school. Megan and her sister, Melissa, and their new twin sisters, Mckenzie and McKenna, all had powers. And mom and dad don’t know.
    Another reason they were at there fifth home was because of Melissa’s power. She can see the future and read minds. So she could tell them what stock was good or bad. Megan’s power was that she could go invisible and freeze time. Mckenzie could move things with her mind and could move around practically weightless. McKenna could blow things up and could feel other people’s emotions.
    The only person in the family who knew was there grandma but they called her nanna. She thinks that mom’s generation skipped her. She doesn’t know why. I always wondered what happened but who knows?
    That’s when she remembered that she had frozen the school. And that’s when Melissa came in. of coarse, just what she needed. “So, what happened in here?” Melissa said, but Megan knew that she was just being a butt. “Megan, unfreeze them.” Melissa demanded. “But they’re giving me a headache.” Megan complained. “Oh please, don’t start!” Melissa said. “But…” that’s when Melissa interrupted. “No! I don’t want to hear it!” Melissa said angrily. “Just unfreeze them!” She said very mad now. “Ok, just do turn into air on me.” Megan said laughing. See when ever Melissa was in high emotions she wouldn’t have very much control over her powers. None of them did.
    Right when Megan was about to unfreeze the school a girl walked in. the same girl who was most liked by Mrs. Flatmen. The teacher’s pet.
    “You can freeze!” Drew said happily.
    “Are you a witch, too?” Megan asked sacredly.
    “Ya.” Drew said. “Aren’t you in our S.S. class?” Melissa asked, already knowing the answer. “Well you better go back around that corner so no one is suspicious.” Said Megan. “Ya I’ll see you later.” Drew said as she walked around the corner. “Bye!” Megan and Melissa said at the same time.
    Megan unfroze the school. Right when the bell rang for class thankfully she had already walked in before she unfroze the school. And that’s when she noticed that Jacob was staring at her across the room. She looked behind her thinking she had just walked in the middle of a conversation. But she didn’t see anyone. She turned around to find him sitting in the desk next to her. He smiled. And said “nice magic trick, was it real or fake?” and she panicked and asked to go to the bathroom. Jacob knows, I think he is a demon or witch. She called out in her mind hoping her sister who was flirting with the guys who were seated in the back, had her mind open, so she could read thought. And then and there she turned to look at her sister and nodded. Megan knew what she was supposed to do.
    So she froze the room and there is Jacob sitting there, laughing, and looking around the room. “Gosh, could you of just asked me, in stead of freezing the room.” He said laughing. That’s when drew walked in. and asked, “What the hell is going on. I walk into my class only to find my teacher and classmates frozen!” She said angrily then her tone changed. “Is there a demon?” she asked quickly and in an emergency tone. “Oh, I see you’ve met Jacob.” She said wandering what he did this time. “Jacob, what did you do now?” drew asked turning her attention to Jacob. Who was cracking up by now. And when ever he tried to talk gibberish mixed with laughing came out instead.
    “Oh my god, what did he do?” drew asked angry again. “Well it started with,” so Megan explained what had happened. And Jacob just sat there and laughed. He looked at Megan about five times and when she caught him he blushed. When she finished telling what happened. Drew started to yell Jacob, and then she told them to come meet the one other witch at this school. His name was Jonathan; he was the unpopular, brother of Jacob.

    The whole time, during lunch Jacob had wined, complained, and was just annoying. Megan and Melissa listened the whole time. (Very carefully.) Jonathan had explained why Jacob was popular. And she wondered if he used his power on her. Right as Jonathon interrupted her thoughts and said “ we can’t use our powers on each other though. Expect Melissa, you can read anyone’s mind. Witch or not.” “Cool!” Melissa said, in her I know what your thinking voice. The smiled. Megan blushed.

    As they walked home Melissa told Megan every thing Megan had thought during lunch. Including that she worried about Jacob using his power on her. And she told her why Jonathan new what she was thinking. And Melissa laughed after telling why. “Your such a brat, Melissa.” Megan said to her sister. And started faster.

    About an hour later the stepped into Mckenzie and McKenna’s room. They were practicing their magic with Nanna. So Megan and Melissa sat down and helped until it was time for their lessons. They spent about three hours helping their sisters. Then another two for their lessons.
    By the time they finished magic class it was time for dinner. So they ate and spent another hour at the table. When it was time for bed it was ten thirty. So they went to bed exhausted and soar from the first day of school.
    When they woke up, they woke up to a loud ringing. Their alarm clock was going crazy. Megan looked at the time and realized that they had to get up. Now! So she woke up her sister and took the left bathroom. Melissa took the right. And hurried. As fast as they went, they got out of the house about five minutes late.
    Luckily, they got to school on time. When they got to their lockers Melissa told Megan what she had read in Jacobs mind.
    “So is that why he kept looking at me. I had something in my teeth. Oh my god,” she said and felt blush rising. Melissa had lied to her sister. She really didn’t have anything in her teeth. She had to or else Megan would of figured out what she hadn’t said. One of things Melissa didn’t tell Megan was that Jacob really did like her. A lot. That was all that was on his mind. Trying to ask Megan out. The other thing she hadn’t mentioned was that she had helped him. She placed all of Megan’s favorites, obsesses, loves, and she gave him confidence to ask Megan out. Melissa was proud of her self. She had kept Jacob thoughts a secret from Megan.
    About an hour later Megan and Melissa got out of first period. Or the dreaded S.S. class. “That is so unfair, Mrs. Flat man gave us an essay, on the second day of school.” Megan said complaining. “I no,” Melissa started but stopped abruptly. “Freeze them!” she demanded. “Why,” Megan stared to ask questions but before she could finish her sentence, Melissa had tapped into her mind and had made her freeze the room.
    “Well, what did you do that for? I could have frozen them. Without your help, Melissa!” she yelled in her mind and out loud. That was her sister’s weakness. She couldn’t handle the same person yelling out loud and screaming in their mind. Only Megan knew this fact. And she used to do this when Melissa and her were thirteen. But she hadn’t done it since Melissa had gone into Megan’s mind and made Megan stop breathing. Megan had to go to the hospital. She had spent one day there. Melissa hadn’t been able to control herself and her power while she was that mad.
    And it was happening again. Why had she done that to Melissa? And now she had to pay the price.
    Megan fell to the floor. Melissa hadn’t done that. But the same thing had happened when Megan had made Melissa so mad that she couldn’t control her self. But this time she had braced her self. So she hadn’t made Megan stop breathing this time. Melissa heard footsteps.
    She bent down to hold Megan’s hand. Megan’s face was Turing purple. And she slipped out three words. “I am sorry.” Then blacked out. She was still not breathing when Drew, Jacob, and Jonathan showed up. Dews power was to see the demons that looked like humans. Jacobs’s power was to go into another realm. Mostly heaven. Jonathan’s power was to keep all of the witches’ knowledge from before them.
    “What happened?” Drew asked worriedly. When she looked at Melissa she saw all of the tears on her face.
    “ I, I, I don’t know.” She said sobbing. “ I made her freeze the room and then,” Melissa started “oh never mind.” She said and grabbed every one. She showed them what happened. Drew automatically looked up for the demon Melissa had read thoughts from. He was gone. But she knew he was outside the school. So he could keep his hold on Megan.
    Jacob was checking her heart rate. After thirty seconds he had a terrible look on his face. “Melissa will you take her hands please?” Jacob asked pushing her over.” On three Melissa. Every one else stand up and look down. Like she had fainted. Ok?” Jacob said not intending for an answer. He just stood up and every one else just nodded and stood. “One, two, three!” he yelled. And time started once Melissa took her hands off Megan.
    “Help!” Jacob yelled over the talk of all the school. Every one turned. Only to find Megan passed out. And the students started to go find the teachers. Ten went to get the nurse.
    Mrs. Anderson came running out of her classroom. She was there science teacher. She bent to check Megan’s pulse. Then froze. So did every one else in the school except Drew, Jonathon, Melissa, and Jacob.
    “What happened?” Jacob asked.
    “The demon is Mury. He wants to terminate the,” drew stopped suddenly. “Oh my god.”
    “What?” Jacob asked, while trying to get Megan into his arms. Who was still not breathing. Melissa was keeping Megan from going towards the light.
    “Nothing, I will tell you later. But now we have to get her to the hospital. And fast. She can’t hold on very much longer.” Drew said becoming panicked again.
    “He can’t keep the world frozen for much longer. But, she wont live much longer either. Melissa grab her and don’t let go until we get to the hospital. Ok?” drew commanded. And then the world won and become unfrozen again.

    An hour later Melissa and Jacob were at the hospital. Luckily the hospital was right down the street. Sp it hadn’t taken the ambulance that long.
    They had been waiting in the waiting room when a nurse came out and said, “Are you the ones who came in with,” she looked down at her clipboard. “Megan?” she asked nicely.
    “Yes.” Megan and Jacob said at the same time. “Well, can you give me some information, please?” she asked. They nodded. “First,” she started. And kept asking questions for about another fifteen minutes. “Ok. That’s all I need. You can go see her now.”

    what do you think?

  133. I wish i could write.. i tried and failed!! (so depressing to actually admit to that!) All i can do is admire those who can and read their books like a mad women!

  135. Sophie, holy crap that’s long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    now to actually read it
    what do you think of my short stories?

  140. allichie, the short stories were awesome!!!! the second one sounded like somethig that would really happen in new pretty town! the first one was sad, but i liked it!

  141. stories from the mind of a future author:

    Run.
    My thoughts were swirling.
    RUN!
    Everything was a blur.
    RUN!!!!
    I screamed and forced my legs to move faster, but I couldn’t escape the doom that was sure to catch me.
    Then, amidst my raging emotions, a single thought crossed my mind; What was I running from?

  147. stories from the mind of a future author who is tired of watching stinkin’ fireworks!

    “Why is he looking at me like that?” I steadily asked my new best friend Chelsie.
    “Who?” she asked with an uncaring expression.
    I nodded in the direction of a tall, beautiful boy with jet black hair and icy skin. Surprise lit up her face as she realized who it was.
    “Oh, my god, Maria, Jason! He is, like, the hottest guy alive, and the coolest!”
    “Well I wouldn’t know that seeing as how it’s my first day at this school!”
    “Just ignore him for now and wait for him to approach you.”
    I was used to this kind of thing. I was unusually tall at almost 6 feet and I had gorgeous dark chocolate hair that fell in waves down to my shoulder blades. My day was not complete if I didn’t have at least 10 guys asking me out.
    Right on que, Jason came up to me when Chelsie left for class. It was kind of weird having to look up at him.
    “Hello,” he said in a voice that would have made normal girls drool. “My name is Jason, and I am your magic trainer.”

  149. So no more Tally after this book? And I hope Zane comes back, too. You know, you never actually said that Zane wouldn’t come back. At least the for the last ten entries you didn’t.

    You guys write some good fiction. I liked #127 from allichie.

    So, my friend Michelle read this book last year too (forced summer reading, like me) and we talked about it for .24 seconds while we were getting ready to go to a club last night. We talked about it and it turned out that we’d both rather be pretty and stupid, than regular and the same. The best thing would be to be pretty and then have the cure, so we got our minds back. But yeah, maybe we’re just really superficial. I don’t know. Anyone else?

  152. whoa thats a cool video =]
    i wish i could skate board!
    i kinda suck =/

    OK SO!
    WESTERBOARD IS ALIVE AGAIN!
    YAYNESS.

    I INVITE ANYONE TO JOIN.
    IT IS A FORME DETICATED TO SCOTT’S BOOKS OF COURSE! =]

  153. I didn’t know there was an actual go skateboarding day….. and sadly, i’m a skater…

  155. allichie i like your stories alot. and don’t worry i am confused to. i am having a little trouble. cause my coumpter crasher 14 days ago and i just got it back. so i can’t rember what else i wanted to do. (sighing) oh well. i guess i will rewrite.

  159. of all the times i commented, i never said what i think about the video! i think the video is cool. i didnt know there was a skateboard day! oh well. 🙂

  160. my brother tried skateboarding once. it was pretty funny. he was all hyped up about finding a skatepark and doing all kinds of stuff then then we told he would have to you know LEARN how it do it first but wouldnt believe us that he couldnt do it. then he fell and got hurt and never did it again.

  161. hi
    its really happy-making that you are giving out samples of extras.
    i hope i get one.
    but i also want to say that i finished the midnighters trilogy and i didnt really like the ending. (you know how jessica is…..)
    why did you choose to go with that ending? i totally think that a HAPPY ending would have been better.

    and also, did you know that your email address is to long. nobody can send emails to you. you need to change it. i tried sending you one and it said that it was to long to be an email address.

    good luck with that.

    i want extras! peace out!

  163. stories from the mind of a future author:
    Continued……

    Wow, that was unexpected. “Oh, darn it, and I was just putting on my ‘playing hard to get’ face.” I mean, come on, would you believe him?
    “Just give me a chance to prove it,” Jason said with a smirk. “After school meet me in the park.”
    ……………
    I don’t know why I believed him, but I’d always felt there was another side of me I never knew. It was this strange emotion that propelled my legs down the sidewalk that sunny afternoon. Sure enough Jason was waiting on the bench with his signature smirk on his face.
    “I’m glad you could make,” he said in an oddly respectful tone.
    “Yes, I found time between school and burning down the city,” I said. This time he couldn’t help himself and started laughing. He got up and strode toward me.
    “Now where should we begin…..”

  164. wow! great stories!!! if you grow up to be an author, i would totally read your books!!!

  168. This is sad. Way too many people who post for nothing. I know this writer (well, not personally), and on her blog, people use the comments to literally chat, so now she has thousands of comments, not even exaggerating, and the good stuff that could’ve been written in response to her blog post is drowned. Sigh.

    Cool video. I wish it would’ve been longer though. Sigh. New York City.

  169. i am finally not refreshing long enough to post.
    i would have won except i had to stop to BLOW MY NOSE why? THis is proof that there is no invisible super hero in the sky!
    you probably are posting now. on june 21st i was at camp and everyone who brought a board went skating that day. It was so much fun! (the camp was a normal camp,not a skate camp or anything) My board has a panda on it lolz

  171. he said he wouldn’t blog on the 4th…. today is the 5th refresh button is very tired… screen hasnt changed very bored… scott post already!!!

  173. seriously, post already!!!! i’ve commented 28 times already!!! (this would make 29!)

  174. Oh. My. God.
    when i refreshed wordpress kept saying that there was an error an i was so scared that you posted!!!!

  176. i say it is a new post time when there are about 200 comments. since there are 175, i say it is about time for a new post!! (this is my 30th comment!)

  177. I HAVE A COMMENT ACTUALLY ABOUT THE VIDEO!!! it would have been terrible if a car hit one of the skaters!

    p.s. if someone uses sk8ers instead of skaters ever again …………………………………………………………………………………………… i will kill you (sorry not kill, i will tell on you!) 🙂

  178. PPS that was my 31st comment. so this is my 32nd!!!!!!! (i am counting how many comments i have to send before he posts again!!!)

  179. Hmm…for some reason I don’t seem to be able to post…at least the last few times I’ve tried it, it hasn’t worked.

    Anyway, when are we going to hear more about new books besides Extras?

  180. stories from the mind of an extremely bored future author:
    Continued……

    “Holy crap, what are you doing?!?!” when I took my eyes off his face I realized we were hovering 6 inches off the ground. He only laughed harder.
    “You know, I really hate the word ‘magic,’ it’s such and old term like ‘witches,'” he paused before continuing, “witches are associated with demons but we are the complete opposite. I like to think that what we do is more of an…..ability.”
    “Very interesting, but not what I asked you. Now tell me what’s going on!!!” I didn’t realize it, but I was screaming at him now.
    “Calm down, now, and give me a mintue to explain,” I relaxed and waited. “Our ‘abilities’ are passed along a family line, like getting blue eyes from your mom or being short like your dad, but it skips a generation, and you don’t gain your abilities untill you turn 16.”
    I was speechless, I mean, wouldn’t you be if some random guy told you, you had magical powers?
    “I’m not random,” he looked hesitant to say any more. “I’m your cousin.”

  185. stories from the mind of a future author:
    Continued…….

    I was dumbstruck, “You can read minds AND you can fly!”
    “Only the minds that don’t have powers….yet. And I can do way more than just those two things.”
    In the next instant we were lost in a forest of towering oak trees and wild flowers with no sign of civilization. Jason stepped away from me and held out his arms.
    “Welcome to Seatle in the 1700s!” he said and walked back to me. He gripped my arms, and then, as soon as the forest had appeared, we were back in the park.
    “Time travel…” I could barely speak.
    “No,” he explained slowly. “Time is something no amount of power can change. What I did was cast our minds into the past.”
    “What about that other thing you said,” my voice was still a whisper. “About you being my cousin?”
    “Naturally, It is our elders who teach us about our abilities, you and are the only ones left in our family with powers. Our grandparents were killed.”

  186. Maby Scott is reading all the posts and finding ur paranoya funny…. Hmmmm… Scott its Not FUNNY!

  188. U know what, after u hit the refresh button a bunch of times it gets REALLY old. And I like the second half of ur story 2!!

  189. there is 4 different parts(and more coming)
    just look for my name, they are all on this post

  190. hey scott, i have a question,

    what is your favorite time to blog? just out of curiosity.

  193. I say we riot and make scott post! My mom went on when i wasnt looking and changed this page to ebay i was so afraid he would post. i think ill start shays habit of bitteing nails. very impatient

  196. I know! But if he posts anytime soon I HAVE 2 BE FIRST!!!!!!!!! lol I’ve been sitting here all day pressing REFRESH thats like sicnce 8 this morning no joke cause I was @ my dads office w/ nothing better 2 do!

  197. hey everyone if you go to justine’s site you can find a link to Insideadog and both of them will be posting there all month.

    From site: Meet Justine and Scott
    Since we’ve only been publishing Young Adult novels for a short time, seems like a good idea for us to tell you who we are. But we kind of get bored introducing ourselves so Justine will tell you about Scott and he’ll tell you about her.

  198. while passing the time waitng tring to figure out time zone differences to figure out a pattern in his postings
    *i will win*

  201. He was once in my city but it took me ages to find out where, by that time I had other stuff I had to do. My school librarian got me his autoghraph on a bookbark though, I actually have it with me now! It would be anazing to meet him.

  202. OMG!!! Thats really cool! I dont have any autographs from anyone…. Im stranded in the middle of nowhere pretty much!

  204. I hope so!!! U do not know how cool that would be 2 me!!! I would leterally scream 4 like a day! lol

  205. found small slight possibly insignifaant pattern to posting…. still stay 24/7 to make sure…. *please dont let the refresh button break* (can it?)

  206. yeah I’m stranded in the middle of no where to. he’s never came to my state.. or i dont think so anyway. I would be happy with a signature on a napkin lol

  207. me 2!! LOL And I dont know if the refresh button can break!! Gosh I hope not I will be in trouble!!

  208. no one famous comes around here either *sniffle* if only i could get a book…. cant he just copy the smplers like crzy… please with extras on top 🙂

  210. framing a signed napkin how… really dont know what to say but it would be soo cool to get autograph

  213. U know wut really stinks!! I have homework over the summer!!!! A whole book 2 do!!! 100 pages!!!!!

  214. i wonder if this is consider spam seeing as we are talking about how much we want one of his books? Extras the sampler autographed by scott… to cool for words

  217. i would gaurd the sampler letting no near it what could happen to it is to fearful to say… rips tears lost… oops i said it

  218. totally, completely, and fully DARN MY COMPUTER!!! ok i had like a much longer post than what got put up, but apparently it somehow got deleted between the time i finished it and the time i hit “submit.” which was approximately 2 seconds. so now i will attempt to recreate it (just in case anyone actually cares)…
    ***
    haha…i just spent like the last 10-15 minutes reading all the comments after 110 (

  219. no, my computer hates me, and it’s still not posting. oh well…it’s odd though, the post cut off in the EXACT. SAME. SPOT! anyone else having this problem? i highly doubt it…again, oh well. i just hope it doesn’t happen on this one!

  220. Already found a small pattern(hehehe)but I’m not telling!
    so bored I think I will write more

    stories from the mind of a future author:
    Continued…….

    That night I had the first string of dreams.
    I was sitting in a rocking chair in an old house in front of a fireplace. My hair was neetly tied back in a bun and I was whereing a simple blue dress and appron. It was some night in the 1700s.
    I heard a noise and got up to look outside in the field behind the house. In the distance I could see a mob with torches and pitchforks chanting over and over, “KILL THE WITCH!!!”
    A sharp crash woke me out of my state of panic that had frozen me in place. I tried to flee but the intruders forcfully grabbed my arms and tied my hands behind my back. I was dragged outside and forced to the ground.
    A man stood before me, “Laura Green,” he said in a harch tone, “you have been charged with the account of witchcraft and will be burned at the stake!”
    A swarm of furious towns people cheared in agreement.
    “NOOOOOOOO!!!!” I screamed and struggled against the ropes that bound me.

  221. oreos and milk is a good impatient soother… but i ate all… impatients rises again… chocolate and i slowly become insane waitng for his post his book his sampler *cries into arms)

  222. allichie i found the pattern before you! i will totally win and not be in this sad-making mood

  223. yay! another peice of the marie’s magic training saga (as i have so dubbed it)! haha in the comment that my computer REFUSED TO POST, i said i loved it. but of course, it REFUSED TO POST IT, despite my incessant begging, and you never saw it…so here i am now, saying that i love your short stories, and i wish i could write so phenomenally!

  224. hmmm… its scaryish… but i think you should do a bit more about the fear that Laura fells to buil the atmospher… then again, it is only a dream. Its very good!

  227. if i won, i promised my friend id let her read it (unless i have to sign a waiver saying i wont) but i would photo copy it
    maybe if i was feeling really nice, i would type it out and post is online.
    I. Must. Win.
    If i was feeling really mean i might change it completely.
    i got my board at the shred shop (refer to post 174)

  230. OMG!!!! I would have 2 let my friend Meredith read it!!!!!!!! Otherwise id be in trouble! lol

  235. guys get ready to cry, i would have won except i had to blow my nose
    i promise to type it out if i win an it is allowed
    i will let scott slide because he is a (sadistic) saint but if anyone else says sk8r, boi, boi sk8r, or sk8r boi i will impale them with a rusty knife with a 12 letter name

  236. ok iguess you win but i still know the pattern in his post so i hav a chance. im gonna beat you and everyone else. *smiles madly happy like*

  238. well, i have spent a full four minutes, thinking, which is long for my ADD mind, but i don’t think i know enough about it to say. like i don’t know any key names/subjects/elements from it, but here’s my one idea (sorry if it stinks) “the green family secret.” it only works if laura green is one of maria’s ancestors, though.

  239. Intensegreeneyes- I would kiss the ground before your feet if you won and typed it out
    lol

  242. so how many people here are writing books or short stories, curious trying to burn up time

  245. ooh i’m searching for the pattern…but i am currently lacking in the results department. my brain is not very good with that type of thing!

  248. ugg anyone hav any good guy names i hav a substitute one in my story but its starting to stick and i cant think of anything else…writing can be stopped by the simplest things *sigh*

  250. true…now i’m gonna have to use my SAT prep words! no i’m going into 9th grade but my parents are weird and got something like that

  254. guys names:

    mario (my dad’s name!)
    eduardo (my uncle’s name)
    moses (my grandpa’s name)

    ok those were dumb–and yes, my father’s side of the family is cuban and jewish. no one was thinking that, but i said it anyway)

  255. guys, while were waiting does anyone want to take a stab (with uncontainable unpredictable wonderfulnes, of course) at writing RUSTIES?

  257. serious guys names:

    felix
    hayes
    damien (i like that one!)
    austin
    greg/gregory
    jeff/jeffrey
    josh
    gabriel
    anthony

  258. Whatever u do please do not put Jessie as a guys name, even if u spell it different….. and I like the name Josh dont know y I just do!

  259. damien is nice, so is gabriel
    i have to go now, family stuff he will probably post while im gone

  260. haha josh is this annoying kid in my homeroom…sometimes he’s funny but sometimes he just gets on my last nerve! oh yeah, and i forgot the guy version of my name: TYLER! who, oddly enough, is another kid in my homeroom.

  261. I bet he wont even post 2nite and were all sittin here waitin!! That would be like me 2 sit here 4 no reason tho.

  263. oh yeah i just noticed dee’s last post..no offense, i just didn’t see it: i give you my condolences! hopefully you are allowed a text-message capable cell phone!

  266. thanks for the names me thinking about it why must the name troy stick to the character (its my uncles name) but thanks again and yah were probably sitting here for no reason

  269. well, kheidi-la, WE may be sitting here for no reason, but YOU know the secret pattern, so you probably already know when he’s gonna post next!

  272. so you could at least get the whole “typing experience” i guess. then again, any communication device would suffice (haha rhyme!), but if you had an iphone then you could comment! i’m just kind of typing w/o thinking right now…i stayed up till 3 am this morning and then slept till 7:30 (wonderful, i know)

  274. because if there was a pattern, well, there is usually a key to it, and all the people who claim to know it say that they’re gonna be first to comment, so they probably know when he’s gonna post next

  276. hint on pattern* look at the past 3 posts* end of hint, oh and i just realized something i hated david after pretties and specials and now rereading staring from uglies again i pity him wierd how that works

  278. stories from the mind of a future author:
    Maria’s saga(many thanks to taylor for that)

    “Hey, I need to talk to you!” the next day at school I found Jason in the hall. I grabbed his arm and yanked him away from his group of friends who where laughing to hard to notice.
    “See ya later, guys,” he called to his friends and reluctantly followed behind me.
    When we were somewhat alone I asked him the question I couldn’t get off my mind, “Who is Laura Green?”
    “How did you hear about her?” he cautiously asked.
    “I had a dream.”
    “This isn’t supposed to happen this soon,” he mummbled to himself and turned away.
    “What isn’t supposed to happen?!” he was going to start giving me answers or so help me…..
    He looked back at me with a confused expression, “Your not supposed to have visions of your ansestors untill you’ve learn how to cast your mind, which is one of the most difficult abilies. For some reason, you’ve taught yourself how to see.”

  280. flaw in uglies cover if the model is representing tally then the eye (blue is off (should be brown)

  281. ooh! based on my own pathetic findings and kheidi-la’s hint, maybe i have found the pattern! or maybe…she’s trying the throw me off track! YOU WON’T GET ME!
    and that concludes my crazy outburst. btw, i was kidding for all you extremely literal people. that is, the crazy outburst, not the possible pattern discovery.

  283. I am making this up as I go along ’cause I’m soooooooo bored so I don’t know what happens

  285. dee–yeah i had friends over and they’ve been in washington for the past week (gymnastics championship) so to them, it was still 12 a.m., while i couldn’t keep my eyelids open

  288. haha yes i know…and i have to help out at this children’s camp tomorrow morning, and then i have to work after that for 7 hours.
    phenomenal.

  289. you know scott should take pity on us for devoting our time to his blogs… my parents say i should go outside …. not til i get a sampler… does anyone like Caydn for a girl name (pronoced like hayden with a c)

  292. just to make sure this isn’t consider spamalot (ha ha) scott your books rock!!! I want extras!

  293. ooh i like it…hey i wonder if it means anything! you know, like how lots of names are derived from like old french/english/german/whatever words?

  294. i wonder if parents are beginning to hate scott (the ones who have never read his books) because he is starting a cult of teens that are addicted to hitting refresh during beautiful summer days… i would go outside if i had a wireless laptop but alas i hav a wired computer… *sigh*

  296. ah-ha! i’ve found it! the meaning of cadyn is fighter! well if this girl is rather strong-willed, then that’s a winner!

  299. not intirely sure if she will be the parts ive written so far she was attacked became frail and otherwise emotional wreck but i guess she is fighting physical and emotional problems 🙂

  302. wow like 300 comments… i wonder if scott reads all of them… he probably is reading laughing at us waiting to press submit or send or whatever for the next post… would he be so mean?

  305. i will the minute after the next post goes up and i’m not first to comment (because i have horrible luck). and yeah i think he just might be so cruel…but only if he wanted a laugh!

  307. I love the name cayden. I have a nephew, his name is Kaidyn. =P I’m just really bored… I have a laptop but I would feel awkward outside with it. lol.

  310. wow you must be from australia or something! and my town is weird–we had 4th of july fireworks yesterday night (on july 4th), and yet we’re also having another show tonight (on july 5th!) i live like 2 inches away from where they shoot them off so i have an awesome view

  312. i was on here in the afternoon, and when i came back, there were over 300 coments, but earlier there were about 179!!! that just proves how desprate people want this sampler! (#36)

  315. all my pizza if frozen, if you want some you will have to come to my house and wait for it to cook!

  320. my sister’s boyfriend is in australia! it is costing my parents a fortune for them to talk on the phone!! (he doesnt have a computer there!) *#40*

  321. haha yes it is pretty! i also live 50 feet away (no exaggeration there!) from my school’s football field, so if i don’t feel like going to the game on any given night i sit on my deck and listen to it–and read!

  324. SmarterChild is a bot on AIM… he gets annoying sometimes. I would do that too. Just to not waste money on going to any games!

  326. i always post late…darn it. so to dee: well they shoot them off from the lake, and i live like super close to that…and there ya go! and to amy-la: haha they should make her pay the bill that’s like super long-distance there!

  328. well, my sister is doing extra chores around the house. she would pay for it, but she’s broke!

  329. stories from the mind of a future author:
    Maria’s saga(i will get a better name)

    I could barely learn trig and this guy was telling me I had taught myself to see visions!
    “Is that possible?” I asked.
    He thought about this for a moment before saying, “Apparently, it is. It’s never happened before though.”
    His dark eyes struggled to believe what had happened, “Let me tell you a story. We call ourselves the Potenunus, or powerful ones. We have many enemies: warewolves, vampires, faeries, dragons. We are at war with all demons.
    “We are on this earth for one purpose: to protect the human race. Our grandparents died in this war.”
    “If our grandparents died, than how did you learn?”
    “Because, unlike you, my mom didn’t marry an average human so I had 4 grandparents. And that’s why I have to teach you.”

  330. i feel kind of out of the club…the other two people on here end their names in -la. it doesn’t work for me though…unless i used like tay-la. that sounds weird!

  334. yeah sorry i was writing my comment when yours went up, so i didn’t see it till then. and that’s right. don’t give into peer pressure, kids!…i wish i had a kitty! but my mom’s allergic. yes, that was kind of random.

  335. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. I did a science experiment on animals and their ability to detect bad weather… I think I got like an A or B on it..

  336. wow- and i’m stuck all alone with my stupid cat who hides when it’s not even raining!!

  337. lol. So… has anyone seen Transformers? I saw it and it was a pretty good movie. At least, for someone who didn’t watch the cartoon when they were younger..

  338. hey scott has a youtube account! all it has is that one skating video, but it’s still cool!

  340. It looks kinda cool, I mean, when i heard about it I thought, oh great another lamo kids move, but it looks fawesome!

  341. yeah.. the first trailer with the thing on Mars I was like, “that looks REALLY stupid..” but the Computer Animation was like reallllllly good.

  342. oh, yeah, that movie looks pretty good. i was worried that it was going to bomb, but then i heard more about it and it’s definitely high on my list now. i want to see license to wed, too.

  343. computer animation makes up for being a stupid cartoon character, just look at scooby doo

  344. good point! oh…i just remembered a bad example of it…anyone remember that full-length looney tunes movie? ugh.
    and his account only has 14 views, so i guess since his name isn’t on it no one knows who it is! (the name is zanelives)

  346. Zanelives? =O. I don’t know If I’ve seen the looney tunes movie. I’ve seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit. That used to be my favorite movie. =P

  347. the looney tunes movie was TERRIBLE. i wont even pretend i liked it like i did with scooby doo! (#45)

  348. I saw one of scott’s post that had a picture of zane coming to life(it was kinda creepy)
    ur right, loony toons was faweful

  349. Zanelives? does that mean zane comes back???? if he does, i think tally should stick with david. it would be really weird to have an ugly and a special dating!!!

  350. oh, was it the Extras cover? the one with the zombie? or was it another cover that was the zombie?

  353. ohh. that would be weird in the Extras book to have Zane come back to life. It would be a complete turnaround.. lol.

  354. amy-la, that’s what i was thinking! b/c when you put together that fake extras cover with zane coming to life (allichie!) and his account name…i think he’s giving us some hints here!

  356. (that was 46, this is 47) i like weird stuff, but it cant be too weird. an example of someone who is WAY TOO WEIRD!!!! his name is josh. when ever i walk by him, he growls at me. and durring gym, he made cricket noises (you could hear it across the football field!!!!) in sixth grade, he had the nerve to ask me out. i laughed and said hell no! he only has one friend, that only hanges out with him because he feels sorry for josh. whenever josh and i get in a fight, he runs to the closest group of preps, and the defend them!!! that is one reason i hate preps!

  359. MY name is a tridecalogism
    i was saving up for a laptop but now i want to buy an iphone, so i can check all day
    i spent all of the day before yesterday, yesterday, and today hitting refresh, the key is getting stuck

  360. I know a josh and he is really weird, but people like him! I don’t see why, although, it is fun to laugh at his stupidity(someday, he is going to get arrested)hehehe

  362. even though i cryed when zane died twice (i read the book twice and both times i cryed!) i liked david better. i guess it was hard for me to picture a two people with perfect faces together. in real life, nobody has a perfect face, so i picked the one i could picture better. (49)

  364. OH YEAH!!.. I know a Josh and he is weird too.. I still talked to him though. He sat in front of me in L/A (class not city).. he would stretch out all over my desk and I was like GET OFF!! and he was always all sweaty… ewsles. then he moved to another chair and I was like yayness.

  367. Plus, David thought Tally was beautiful even though she was an ugly and I thought that was sweet. =)

  368. i think everyone has had a bad experience with someone named josh! like i said awhile ago, josh is this sometimes weird/sometines funny guy in my homeroom. yeah he does that kind of weird/vaguely sexual stuff…my example of someone way too weird: this guy who turned completely goth/emo or whatever (i don’t mean to offend anyone by calling him that, though) in the last 6 months. he always wears liuke ten pounds of eye makeup, either in purple, blue, or red (depending on his mood, maybe?). and now he totally failed like 5 classes. he used to be a pretty good student, but now–well, he’s not.

  369. the weird thing about the josh I know is he never looks at you when he talking to you! He looks like he’s brain dead!

  370. ahh there’s this kid named Tyler and he’s 16 and he’s in 7th grade… he was emo (sorry if I offend anyone) and failed all his classes. I think he had a bad life at home… I feel bad for him..

  371. (50) oh! i have more stories about that josh kid!!! he likes to be called matt, but he spells it maat! he doesnt walk, he stumbles. he makes a coughing noise every five minutes in class (with two- one hour classes and 1- fourty-five minute class, that is a lot of caughing!) he claimes he is smarter than me because he is in the gifted program, but he had pre-algebra when i had algebra! that right there proves that i am smarter than him. (i am also smarter because he gets f’s a lot and i get a’s and b’s!)

  372. lol at allichie. my friend doesn’t look at you when she talks to you. she even points that out about herself.

  373. a josh i know always picks on me whenever he has a chance! I cant stand that way he thinks hes beter than me!

  374. there is a josh at my school and he has a sort of zombie walk, he is also the biggest creep ever

  376. (51) and i know all of josh’s secrets. he let me read his diary, yea i said diary. whenever there is a new secret, he tells me it and i tell all of my friends! its a little process i like to call payback!

  378. haha there’s a tyler in my homeroom (i said that awhile ago too, sorry) and he’s been held back a couple of times…he’s nice though, just one of those guys who tries too hard to be “cool” and ends up paying for it, i guess. he dyed his hair black when it’s natually blond, and now he looks super pale.

  380. one time in gym, josh hit me. so i told the coach. HE DID NOTHING! and that wasnt the first time he hit me. so when he hits me, i spread a secret!

  381. Amy-la: I don’t think he really cares that everyone knows his secrets if he told you!

  382. he probably likes you Amy… and peeps is a good book! there is I guess adult themes because of one of the symptoms of being a peep… but yeah it’s a good book

  385. i should really go iv bin on for ages hogging the computer… but i know hell post whilst im gone!!

  388. oh, and that sucks about getting hit.. the only thing we do in gym that’s co-ed is dodgeball, free play, softball, and kickball.

  391. i think guy gym coaches are like naturally sexist/partial to boys or something like that. mine always has boys vs. girls baseball, and gives the girls 4 outs and the boys 3. oh, and SECRET!

  393. (53) well … i know for a fact he doesnt like me when he likes my friend rosa. and he does care if everyone knows because when i tell him how many people i’ve told, he crys!

  394. the boys coach in gym is like, WAY HARD on them.. he made them run when the girls didn’t have too.. lol.

  395. tyler deosn’t seem like the sort of name for a kidwho fails, maybe ends up going to court w/the school board but not failing
    this is pretty much a board now SCOTT POST!!!!!!!!!!!!
    if anyone wants everyone here to give them cool points they can scan thier copy, e-mail it to me and i will type it and post it and give you credit so everyone bows down before them

  396. (54) i’ll start off with something good. he told me this in the sixth and seventh grades, so im pretty sure its still true. he wants a sex change

  400. (55) i wonder if scott reads these comments and laughs about people waiting and telling stories!

  406. (57) if you dont know what the numbers are, im counting how many times ive commented! as you can see, this is number 57!

  410. my gym teacher was actually cool, he used to be the gym teacher for little kids so he went easy on everyone

  416. i’ve never had good experiences w/ guy gym teachers…even my elementary one was sexist.

  417. I now have my Coke and Oreos, i left the chair.
    i am actually having a bit of fun

    Does anyone want to try writing and posting RUSTIES while they wait

  420. the girls gym coach is both mean and nice. she lets us have days off on running days when we need to catch up on our games

  425. I know a couple of people named Josh. Even went out with one. He wasn’t weird or creepy or anything. But this kid named Lee in about 3 of my classes is SO annoying. He looks like a girl, too.

    I’m trying to find a picture of Josh and I.

    http://s185.photobucket.com/albums/x155/qv8o0/?action=view&current=PICT0015.jpg

    I’m the one with the red polka dot headband. Josh is obviously the boy: )

    One more:

    http://s185.photobucket.com/albums/x155/qv8o0/?action=view&current=PICT0012-1.jpg

    See? Not all Josh’s are crazy weirdos

  428. i have oreo ice cream! i just remembered it’s been sitting in my refrigerator for the past week

  430. scott has that under his appearances link,
    if anyone likes stephenie meyer, she is going to tons of places that aren’t Texas, NY, Australia or otherwise out of the country

  431. I want to call like Pizza Hut or something and try to have a conversation with the guy who answers. be like “how’s it going” and when he is like DO YOU WANT A PIZZA?? I’ll be like, “no thanks I wasn’t hungry anyway…

  436. if you cant write you could try to make a cover for RUSTIES if you have photoshop. I just want to convince Scott Westerfeld to write it and to PASS THE TIME

  437. spamalot is coming in full charge… people becoming desperate… and im in a happy-making mood… he didnt post while i had to sit and watch fireworks *smiles broadly*

  439. omg i always watch the spanish soap operas when i get bored…they’re so funny b/c the actors are usually horrible. oh sorry have to go! he’s gonna post the second i leave darn it!

  441. (63) RUSTIES
    this is what a rusty in a car would say if they lived in a world where everything rhymed!

    i am in a car
    driving from my doom.
    i will leave the city.
    is that guy on a broom?

    i must get away
    from this nasty bug.
    i will drive away
    but this traffic is like a slug.

    maybe i should walk.
    but it is too much work.
    i will risk being in a car.
    but this town is bazerk.

    i must- *BOOM*

    MY CAR IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!

  447. bye Taylor. and spanish soap operas are wayyy to dramatic. ARGHH!! -is trying to figure out a Rubik’s Cube-

  451. Caydn is copyrighted by the kheidi-la corp. lol jk do you hav any idea on a type of transportation that a kid could escape on without leaving tracks? all i can think of is a hoverboard but thats scotts thing *sigh*

  452. yea… it’s really funny to look at previous posts and see that the number of comments is less than 100! this is just… wow.

  455. RUSTIES

    The putrid smell of smoke consumed the air while paniced people flooded the streets. Their screaches of terror and agony was the only sound to be heard.
    Today was the day we die.
    Better make the most of it

  457. Kheidi-la, what about a magical unicorn that flys. lol… or just a hovership.. lol…

  460. haha I always watch the Spainish channel. I laugh at it.// The football coach here is really nice. the girls can suckker him very easily like we got to listin to our ipods in studyhall. And you can make him give the guys puch ups lol// what if who ever started the “bug” did it on purpose so they could “start the world over” in a controled environment and have the leisons and stuff.. just a thought.

  461. yay allichie and Amy-wa and anyone else who provides entertainment to us hardcore westerfans who are mostly living on caffiene

  464. Extras

  465. unicorn hmmm… well the reason im thinking hoverboard is its future but not uglies future mind you just the future… were so going to double the last post comments… oh yeah

  466. i just had another mini-panic attack when nobdy was commenting for 2 minutes

  476. i went to bed at 3 am and woke up before the sun was up just to keep hitting refresh

  479. cute poodle, but try not to do the whole roses are red starter. and try to make it longer!

  480. I haven’t read even half of these comments, but I just thought I’d save some people some time and mention that if you’re in America right now, and Scott’s in Australia… if you’re pressing refresh at 8:00 in the morning, it’s like… two in the morning for him.

  483. its kinda long but would anyone like to see what i written? i need advice… allichie and amy-la should do some publishing… we all need therapy…. darn you scott

  485. 5-7-5
    Scott Westerfeld please
    give us the first three chapters
    so that we can sleep

  488. I don’t have time for a whole poem with this refreshing. I didn’t mean to be copying you, Amy-la, I was just having fun. 😀 Poetry takes time…

  509. hey, I was number 500, I am SOOOO cool.

    yeah right, number ONE or BUST!

    I’m here, I’m bored, I’m here.

  519. Why do we so crave these first three chapters when we KNOW we won’t be satisfied when we get them?

    Okay, maybe we don’t care, but still!

    Giraffe.

  527. we should make a secret code so we can talk about his kidnapping right under his NOSE!

  528. i can hav a sampler if you suceed right? oh and the story i wrote really long will break it into sections if people would like to skip it but it will take up time at least…

  538. kidnapping

    we will kidnap scott
    to get what we want
    he might faught (fight doesnt rhyme)
    but we will take extras from him!

  542. oh me like dogs little ones mainly and good point greeneyes and personally its the 3 chapters AND the AUTOGRAPH that im interesed in

  543. Let’s see… Mysterious Ticking Noise, Potions Class, Wizard Angst, Bothering Snape, and Trouble at Hogwarts. That’s 5.

  547. we could try asking nicely and making a deal w/ him like we will tell everyone possible about extras if he gives us a copy

  548. maybe like one of us should win.. and then scan and e-mail the pages to other people who didn’t win and want to read it.. but if you want to steal the whole book someone should be a hacker like in Live Free or Die Hard. lol.

  550. We will still Scooter and Scott and leave a note for Justine saying he flew to Paris to see Maureen and Oscar lol

  551. ok, we are talking about extras NOT harry potter. (the seventh one is called the deathy hallows!!)

  554. so everyone, has Scott EVER posted this late in his time zone? what are his normal posting times?

  555. two paragraphs at a time… hope you like…

    Rushing through the morning checking a hover screen for the twelfth time watching the war on Elliot begin. The morning was a blur to Troy as he stumbled through waiting until he could finally see Caydn, awake and talking. He could barely sit still as he glanced at the hover screen again willing time to go faster.

    Pushing the door to the garden open he smelt the aroma of flowers and fountains gushing out water. The garden was set up to be the cleanest healing center a hospital could provide. Encased in a dome filled with clean oxygen for recovering patients they were able to walk around freely without anything attached. The patients healing suits checked them constantly incase anything went a miss. Fountains squirted out only the most purified water that shined in the sun’s light. Troy gazed at everything around amazed at its beauty.

  558. Amy, they’re videos called the Potter Puppet Pals. They’re quite funny, actually. We’re not talking about the books…

  560. Yes he has posted this late before. Even later

    I have no idea why his laptop has a name but you can read about it in the previous posts

  561. it i won the sampler, i probably wouldnt copy it and post it online because it could be illegal

  562. my ipod is named scott, my journal is brian, my computer is melinda
    i like to name inanimate objects, the metal ones get tridecalogism names

  564. are samplers even under the strict copyright laws? I would never do that either, I’m just wondering.

  572. “Um sir she is over their next to that bench.” A nurse was pointing out Caydn. All he could see was the back of her brown hair braided down the middle of her head ending between her shoulder blades. His heart began to race as he approach her wondering what to say but Caydn turned around and spoke first, “Troy,” it had sound more like a sigh then his name but he heard it. He could only produce a small smile. Caydn wasn’t the same. Her eyes were dim and dull the intensity and passion was lost. She looked so frail and fragile like a newborn bird. Caydn wrapped her arms around his neck drawing him close resting her head onto his shoulder. Troy slid his hands around her waist feeling her tremble through the suit. He could hear her whisper to him, “I’m glad you came. I thought you had already left with the others.” Troy still couldn’t find his voice so Caydn continued.
    “You mean so much to me Troy. I missed you so much,” Caydn had started to shake, “Everyday that I couldn’t be with you I regretted it, I worried I wouldn’t see you again or at least say good bye.” She became weak and fell against him. Troy lowered himself onto the bench letting Caydn lay on him her head raising and falling with his chest. Not knowing what to say he sat there holding her. When Caydn spoke it was weak and quiet, “Troy, I watched the groups leave the city from my hover screen, what happened?”

  573. oh no my parents are kicking me off!!!! how bogus!!! if any of you win tell scott i tried.. i will be back you can count on that!!! bye everyone:) dont get to sleepy!!

  575. well, im gonna try do get a life and log off! so bye, and no affence to the whole get a life thing!

  576. well, it’s not like they have theirs yet, it’s only been a few days! EEP! I get Advance Reading Copies of books though, and yeah, they have copyright stuff in them.

  581. “I stayed behind, I hid like a coward, and I couldn’t go and fight again not after what happened last time.” Troy looked at Caydn laying on him almost faint. “I couldn’t leave you Caydn… I couldn’t.”
    She looked at him raising her hand to pull his face towards her. Their lips brushed as Caydn whispered, “I love you,” she closed her eyes when their lips met. Caydn held Troy there fingers gripping his back. She no longer felt fragile and weak, she felt like Caydn before the attack. Caydn’s energy failed her again as she laid back onto his shoulder and passed out. Her healing suit began beeping loudly and Caydn didn’t wake up. Doctors rushed out into the garden.
    Something had gone wrong.

  582. bye everyone who’s leaving. I have to go to. I hope he doesn’t post when I’m leaving. that would suck.. lol.

  584. I’ve been trying to read through them all and, well, there are stories and poems and people’s life experiences! it’s all very random.

  587. its his fault, not ours, but i will forgive him if he gives me an advnce copy

  588. so if anyone actully read it please tell me if it should go in a trash bin or what and its only 11:27 pm here no one should be tired exspecially if you stock up on sugar throughout the day like me… rocking back and forth going crazy waiting…

  590. omkg, Kheidi-la, we are in the same time zones (im getting pretty random now)

  594. who is here, i will take attendance:
    me
    ally
    poodle
    Kheidi-la
    Chelsea-la
    thats all of the cool hardcore fans still awake

  595. Go Central People!! lol but i hate it in the comercials where the time the show comes on is always and hour after

  598. i hope someone didnt beat us to kidnapping scott, what if they dont post it online?

  599. He isn’t gonna post because he’s upset that we’re all spamming!! 🙁
    *reminds self that there are no rules on commenting. there ARE NO RULES.*

  605. Wisconsin oh yeah cheese why do we have to be a dairy state who would want to come here… scott walks into barnes and nobles by the mall… “hello yes i was wondering if you had a cheese buffet at this establishment?” “Um no sir we dont but arent you scott westerfeld?!” “No cheese but this is wisconsin, im leaving for NY at least i can depend on them for… something”

  608. I thnk we all agree with you on that one.

    heck, why not just move up the release date while we’re at it?

  609. i mean, has a post from him ever have this many comments?
    he normaly posts by 200. but 605?

  614. right when i post a number someone else just posts before me.

    this should be 609.

    maybe 610.

  615. I did get 600 i just didn’t put it in 600th comment

    I bet we can make it to 1,000. But he better post before then

  616. on Justine’s blog?
    well, I wouldn’t know. (don’t tell anybody, but I haven’t read anything of hers, shhhh.)
    but really, I mean, no message boards? what does he expect?

  618. to help the spamalot citizens… scott your books rock an dyou should know it so please refrain from being mad at your future kiddnappers… sincerly the peolpe on that attendance list above thanks … oh if you havnt noticed we kinda want you to post… i should write a story on spamalot the peole who spammed the posts of a mad man trying to create a cult of refreshing teen lunatics who hibernate indoors to get 3 chapters of a book… has a nice ring to it

  628. he will probably call justine over and say wow i should give out more extra stuff like those t-shirts but make the t-shirt white and the letters black then he can sign the t-shirt

  637. I need to buy a case of Red Bull. I’m getting sleepy.
    And as a moderator on other forums, trust me, those admin confirmation things are lifesavers.

  639. I KNOW! but I have chores to do, and it’s 12:54.

    and if he doesn’t post tonight he’ll post in the morning when I’m sleeping, sincee I’ll be sleeping until, like, noon after this!

  644. yeah my mom could give me one.. shes a nurse and i could just walk to the hospital and get the stuff.. i live like a five minute walk from it

  646. I’m a 15 minute walk from a hospital. if you can’t kidnap Scott, you can kidnap the next best thing…

  654. thanks.
    and now I’m getting sleepy…
    and I think of that pile of laundry I must fold…
    FIVE MORE MINUTES!

  665. i say scott makes a aim or yahoo chat connection where we can do comments but be a lot faster than refreshing seeing as i hav dial up and did anyone like my story it kinda like in a middle of a not made book but what do you think… randomness fills the comment box… you know he could prevent this by posting … but does he …. NO! hes mean and i dont think many guys come on here…

  666. okay, I’ve got to get doing some chores, but I WILL be back for a quick refresh between things. adios.

    GET ON THAT CHATROOM, SCOTT!

  667. i wont sleepm until i get a copy, maybe i will go into a coma because of it and make him feel bad so he gives me a copy

  669. haha you could fake the coma and when he gives you one it would be a miracle and ull wake up lol.. but hed probably see thos haha

  671. by 2am central time ill be in bed since hes been posting around 1 o clock but by seeing this he will do it at like 4 just to provoke to not sleep caffine drip sounds good to me and high speed internet

  673. i don’t.. i have one of the awesome pictures i took.. i would but i dont think my other family members would appreciate it..

  674. i really want to kidnap him, of course we would be the worlds nicest kidnappers so he wouldnt want to escape

  675. *whispers*
    I have a picture of me and my friends, sorry.
    and I KNOW I’m not supposed to be here, it’s just a wee bit addicting, no?

  682. finally i found people that are as addicted to books as me, very happy-making, if only my non books obsessed friends would understand why i dont sleep when a book (or sampler) is at risk… you guys are awesome… hardcore scott fans stay up til they fall off their chairs from fatigue

  689. seriously did anyone like the story or is the silence an answer… oh no… im going crazy… oh wait that happen when he put a contest out…

  690. there already are fanclubs, but we are the hardcore fanclub that gets caffiene drips and owes sierra mist money for refresing so mush (sorry, bad joke)

  692. *whispers*
    I did like the story, but I had a hard time following it as it was divided up in pieces.

  694. im hyper, i want to go outside and skate but it is past legal curfew and i dont want to leave the blog

  695. he should at least update this post saying that were crazy and that he wont post till such and such date so we can sleep it would be thoutful of him

  700. intensegreeneyes: skateboard or roller skate

    Kheidi-la: he really should. i would like to be laying in my bed right now but im worried ill miss something.

    sorry my punctutation and capaitalzation died like 2 hours ago lol

  709. so yes, this is really good night, unfortunately. I HAVE to take a shower.

    hopefully he won’t post before noon or I’ll be missing it. or maybe I’ll dream about his post before it happens and then freak myself out…

    (but I’m still gonna refresh before bed, even if I don’t chat anymore *cough*)

  720. *whispers*
    or used.
    we never commented like this until there was something in it for us.

  723. *whispers*
    yeah, I’m not supposed to be here, but I can’t pull myself away. willpower….

  725. Okay, for the third time. I’m leaving. LEAVING. I can win TOMORROW when he posts while I’m SLEEPING. Yup. Mmhmm. Leeeeaving!
    (yeah, go tell yourself that honey, watch yourself come back…)

  728. HEAR THAT SCOTT, YOU DARN WELL BETTER FEEL LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  738. im bored talk in pretty lingo

  742. lol im glad their is no operation cuz didnt scott say that they would look freaky to us and any way did you like zane or david better

  745. ong it 1clock he might be now or at 1pm or anytime in between but i can hope and i dint like tally when she kissed zane but then i didnt like david for not coming for her and then i liked zane hated david then reread the books now i like david and zane but feel sprry for david because he lost out and still loves her wow im hyper scott better post soon this is gonna make a record

  746. yeah.. it was mixed feelings but david wins lol. haha when he gets back on here hes going to see 750 messages and be like what the crap?

    we r hilarious.. it’s 1:11 haha i would say make a wish but thats 11:11

  748. i find laying on my bed while waiting for it to load is very refreshing like the catnaps from specials and yeah hell be like what the heck and think you tube is that popular or he might be smart and know we are all insane and that he should just make copies for all of us

  749. I am now lol.. The named thing confused me in the begining b/c i didn’t know how you were soposed to pronouce (but i found out) and I guess I never changed it

  753. me i dont hav a laptop either but my computer is like two steps from my bed so i fall over while dial up takes its time scott would be evil iff he commented but didnt post so it wouldnt count he would be like what are you doing fine i wont post for week and well cry then sleep for a week

  755. haha we r going strong! wow you must be far away then.. it’s 1:30am now but u probably found that out in previous comments lol

  756. i know we need to make one then attach to the website… i think he wuld apperciate it… another competer noooo (no offense)

  757. central timezone rocks early mornign if my parents knew i was up they would probably kick me off and put the computer inthe living room or something he he but its worth the risk

  758. Yeah..

    my eyes are buring

  779. i was # 777!!!!! now if it was only 7/7/07, then i would be #777 on 7/7/07! it would be happy making

  781. bed time will power was shot so what number of comments are you on now like 50 something … i will win

  782. why does everyone need sleep havent you people ever stayed up for like ever… spamalot lives (as the smoke conquers)

  784. Um.. Scott?

    I think you may be responsibile for several teenage deaths due to lack of sleep.
    O.O
    Seriously, dudes.. Go to sleep.
    Or like Ammy said.. Get a chat room!

    Woah. This is insane. I blame you, Westerfeld.

  786. i can’t believe you guys stayed up all night! listen to scott and GO TO SLEEP! and jessie i ended up staying up till twelve…i didn’t even notice it either!

  794. hey at least we made him comment… small victory… and i went to sleep… but yeah i still be blame scott why cant he just make copies makes life so much easier… just shows how good his books are

  795. Yeah. I’ve been wondering something though, if he does post something, would we be able 2 see it if we’re on his blog?

  796. i hav two windows open onw for the comments then the actual blogs but now i should stock up on sleep… then i will stay up all night… hopefully hell post on the weekend…

  798. Jessie yes I did, but I am not the type of person who just gets her prize and leaves. I stick around to see the craziness (which is oddly VERY interesting to read) and to see what new news Scott will post (hopefully something about his books!!! Or any chance of him coming to MARYLAND *hinthint*). Don’t worry I will make sure that if he posts, I will NOT post until another person gets first ;P

  799. well i getting off but he said tommorrow so ill get on again at 11 my time just to be safe… jk … i think im going to try and have a life today … kinda hard when you dont have a certain sampler *hint hint* i cant believe we made scott comment … 🙂 the hardcore fans of scott will be back to make this 1000… or more, go spamalot

  801. Woohoo 800. Only 200 more posts to go ;P

    And no clue jessie…He asked my address already and he only lives like half a day’s drive away so hopefully it shouldn’t be too long ;P;P

    Though of course he could send it first class and get it here faster HINT HINT.. Hehe just kidding.

  802. i LOVE the cover of the book!
    ur the best author in the world!
    i cant wait to see ur book.
    I want to get the extils soo bad.
    c ya. bye

  806. so close to 1,000. only 196 left to go.

    is anyone else up this early?

    i am going to my grandparents to spend a week with them. i am scared that i am going to miss the next post. i am going to try to see if i can get on their computer.

    wish me luck.

    if i can not, i will miss takling to you guys.

  807. It must be a different time where u r, cause im about 2 eat lunch! It’s like 12 here!

  810. how’s the weather?

    it looks like rain andit is thundering i am going to have to get off. talk to ya’ll later!!!!

  811. i couldn’t stay away… even if it was only to read the comments… im insanely addicted to this website now (my new hompage), why must scott be such a good writer… im going to try leaving again *wonders how that will go*
    does anyone else think that this is more of a chat room then a comment box for a you tube… sorry partly my fault… hard core fans have made the city spamalot real (to figure out what the heck im talking about with the spam-a-lot thing read comment 617)… i really hav to leave *eyes stay glued to screen* must leave til tonight (or at least try)

  813. i am back! just finished helping out at this little kids summer camp…now i’m having lunch before i go to work at 12. but it’s pouring outside, and i’m not old enough to drive, so hopefully it stops by the time i have to leave!

  815. well the working age is 14 in new york, but i can’t work past nine till i’m 16. yeah it is cool…i no longer get allowance, but i make like that amount times 10!

  819. wow wow wow wow I cannot believe this. All of you actually stayed up! You know, we still have until October 2nd, I wonder if he runs out of books before that date………….hmmmn……O god, i hope not!!!

  826. the working age here is like 16 but people pay babysitters $10/hour to watch really good TV
    i’m back and our computer came very close to frying beacause of a thunderstorm so i had to crash it, did he really tell us to go to bed? lol
    scott needs to post NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

  834. I don’t think he’s going to since we are on the computer 24/7. He’ll probably do it in the most unexpected time………………

  837. Hey yeah iwas thinking that too, i think it is possible but i don’t know how to do it. I think a special program does that…………

  842. yeah. i was reading old comments and people were talking about a pattern or something. he probably doesnt time when he posts though. its probalby whenever he gets the chance to and has something to say.

  843. Yeah but he posted @ the same time the last three posts. That was wut everyone was calling a pattern.

  849. Have u noticed that the very first date ( under the title of the post) is not there on the blog page! But is there on the other one!

  852. Yea i did. I wanted to see when he had posted his last comment and didn’t see it until i went back to the other page.

  857. I still haven’t read his other but can’t wait. I read the first part of Madnighter’s but i got confused…..and i like So Yestarday too but my favorite are the Uglies trilogy. Wait not trilogy anymore……….

  864. Yeah, but I play on a 14’s team. Im actually supposed 2 be on a 12’s team the way my bday falls though!!

  868. ??? YOu mean how many people are on the team? I really want to read Midnighters since i love the covers.

  874. No i saw it but nver read either one I want to read those too since they have won awards

  890. guys havent you read up above that scott commented saying he wasnt going to post to today and that he told us to go to bed… (yeah i know i couldn’t stay away) so you could take a break… the hard core fans stayed into wee hours making an insne number of comments … go us … oh and anyone have a clue on what his next post will be on (probably on the crazy insaneness of us teens… spamalot lives…

  904. comment 782 scott said he wont post til tommorrow at least… small victory… he commented… so happy-making… begin checking site religiously again at 11pm central time to insure capture of sampler… i shall win

  915. Kheidi-la
    I spent 5 minutes skimming through your story and I love it!
    It’s intense!!

  928. We are gonna have 1000 comments when scott goes 2 post!! He’s gonna think we are all obsessed. (we are!)

  930. no guys he wrote that about 20 min after i went to bed at 230 this morning so tommorrow not today… kinda sad-making… but it was like 3am his time so saturday computers ready on the front refrsh buttons in gear… the race is on… go insane teens… spamalot lives (as the smoke conquers the world)

  933. ahh I don’t know if anyone is here. and omg you guys got to 800 comments. I went to bed at like 1:00 because I was tired.. lol.

  939. I live in Staten Island, NY. i live an island away from Scott and i haven’t met him yet.

  941. hey ImInLoveWithJonathan I have an iconator account too.. it’s bowchickawowwow__ and I said my name was rachel lol.

  957. omg your right iminlovewith… he should hav wrote a date …. i wonder if ally-wa and amy-la are still sleeping they were up the latest with me… i slept for 4 hours and had to get up… we will so reach 1000

  959. I’ll most likely cry too and complain to my sister about how i lost until she decides to commit suicide

  960. I would love 2 babysit if I got paid!! What would u do u dont literally have 2 watch them, I would watch TV instead!!

  964. My brother is 11, and so is my sister (twins) so they are old enough to not need 2 be watched.

  967. U know whats better than a laptop? A wireless mouse, my dad has one and u can turn around while holding the mouse and just click it!

  968. oh i cant leave out greeneyes or poodle… oh i really need to get off … but how… that kidnapping plan needs to come back into action i say we go for scooter and scott… *evil grin*

  969. im not dead…yet
    i go in the basement, watch tv and if the baby monitor has the kid crying for 5 minutes, i call the parents, hasnt happened yet

  971. I hve to watch my cousin that is 3 so i get paid for her but not my 5 year old brother. And i have an 12 year old sister who doesn’t help one bit……arggg

  972. I had a wireless mouse. then it acted up and was being a meanie butt and wouldn’t work. then the USB thing that detects it broke into a million pieces and I don’t even know how.

  974. OOoo I used 2 have that problem, my room is upstairsd and the computer was downstairs, but now I have a laptop. So I see wut u mean.

  983. i got 4 hour of sleep !!!!!!!!!!!!
    weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    i have wiiiiiiiiiiiings im gonna fly off a building!!!!!!!!! lol jk maybe

  987. we gotta get to 1000 though but it would be good to plan kidnapping somewhere else

  993. Jessie, go to aim.com and then press “Get a screen name” and then follow the steps..

  994. i was wondering, poodle if your here, (post 648) why did you think i was a guy?????

  995. i hav aim chelsea-la oh we need a chat room… for all obsesesed fans (it would make our computers run faster when refreshing too cuz instead of two pages you hav one so yeah we need aim…

  1006. i wonder if scott will not give us copies even if we do win because he thinks we are obsessed

  1010. Good job, AshAngelAk! i’ll b checking htis blog a billion tyms a day! Yay! (lol i put that in there cos it rhymes!)
