Seattle

Posted on by scott

Had a great appearance last night in Shoreline, WA, just outside of Seattle. While signing, I was visited by STAB (the Shoreline Teen Advisory Board), Lizzy-wa, Captain Cockatiel, and many other frequent commenters, enthusiastic librarians, and old pals.

Thanks to everyone for coming!

Lizzy-wa was wearing this cool T-Shirt:

There were lots of other words on the shirt. The entire pretty-talk vocabulary, plus a bunch of other catch phrases from the books.

(A quick message to Laura: Your “I am not a surge-monkey” shirt was cool too! Please send me a photo for posting, if you want. And sorry I messed up your name. It happens at least once at every signing.)

  2. It’s so neat to see other fans from the website in the flesh!

    And is it just me, or is STAB the most coincidentally cool acronym ever?

  5. 00000h, fawesome shirt, Lizzy-wa! i was just thinking bout that today (cuz when u posted a comment bout it? lol i still remember that)! i was thinking about making something like that. luv it! 😉

  7. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THAT’S ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FEEL SPECIAL! no longer an EXTRA! but i look like a dork. notice the paperclip on my ear. yep. ive been doing that all year. kinda wierd. oh well! it was fun. clik on my name to get the whole story of last nite and my fawesome meeting of Scott-la and Justine’la. its funny. COMMENT!

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  10. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! im like screaming rite now seriously. i feel soooo special! that is so fawesome! i think Justine-la took the pic with a iphone thing. i think. those things are sooooo fool! i still look like a dork.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  12. so that is me. in my Tally-like glory. frizzy hair. squashed down nose. to short. two skinny. and not looking at the camera. with a paperclip in my ear. but the shirt is so fawesome! i cant believe im on his blog! sory im just really excited rite now. i feel important!

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  13. Wow lizzy-wa, that shirt is SWEET!
    dude, im so making my own tee shirt.
    haha, thats cool, your on the bloggg.
    you should feel specail.
    (uhh, not like special circumstances,you know what i mean lol =]])

  14. hey guys! if you could be UGLY PRETTY or SPECIAL or EXTRA what would you be? i’d be a SPECIAL. i wouldn’t mind being able to be super fast and strong. and those eyes are soooo fool.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  15. Nice shirt, Lizzy-wa! I wish I was there, but Seattle is four hours away. My parents were like, “There is no way we are driving you all the way to Seattle just so you can meet whats-his-name.” Parents. *shakes head* I can’t wait until I get my license.

  17. I would be Special. I wouldn’t like being scary and mean but it would be really cool to have a Special’s ablilities.

  18. SPECIALS rule. i dont get my license for another thre years. im only 13. *sigh* my mom ALMOST wasnt gonna take me. im glad she did tho. she hasnt read any of his books, but she wants to now. he made me bubbly last nite. (bubbly as in giggly. lol) ok i seriously have to go now.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  19. nice shirt! i love all the homemade ones ppl are coming up with. i should make one……
    *remembers epic half-finished tithe fanart i should be working on*

    and i wouldn’t want to be Special. they’re all…i dunno. wild and outdoorsy and cutty. and not a pretty either, cuz screw appearences and being stupid sucks. and being an ugly, well, that’d sorta be like being….exactly who i am now. because uglies are just sort of normal people. so extra, i guess. i’d be one of those obsessive bloggers. except my family and my friends claim my long blog-like emails are cool and that i’m funny, so i might accidently get famous.

    side note—odd that there wasn’t a word for famous people. you were an extra, or…not. cultural implications of name recognition. discuss.

  20. and this is one of those odd blog-like unrelated comments.

    i had this revelation today—i’m an emo kid. see, i was arguing with my friend today, and i was all, dude, i’m NOT emo. and they were like, then why do you have a button on your backpack that says EMO on it? and i was like, Irish Oil Company, long story.
    but any–way, i was in the middle of reading HOMEFREE by nina wright (which was AWESOME! everyone go read it if u love disfunctional teens with superpowers!)
    and i’m like, i’m sitting with headphones on wearing a black sweatshirt with the hood up reading a book about a girl with turquoise hair, a nose ring and a dysfunctional family life who thinks she’s going insane. and i talk back to myself like, now that doesn’t mean anything.
    but then i need to go into the other room, so i look around for the nearest piece of paper to use as a temp bookmark. which is the liner notes to From Under The Cork Tree. and i’m like
    THAT DOESN’T PROVE ANYTHING!
    or does it………?

    FOURTH MIDNIGHTERS DARKLING WEREWOLVES!!!!

  22. ur 13, omg, thats u, awsome, i guess i just didn realize…… man, im like clueless! Ok, so, ya steph-la im going crazy, help me, im confused, i need assistance, lizzy-wa help!

  23. o ya and love the shirt it rocks, totally, only if he came to my city…………*sigh*, *disappointed face*

  25. I like your shirt Lizzy-wa (:
    And Scott, you have to stop in New Hampshire D: Nobody important ever comes here. Pheh.

  26. y and srry oblut the younger looking thing, that was mean, im srry, i feel bad, im ur age u no and im just beinmg mean, AHHHHH, im feel stupid, forgive me for my crazy rude unfriendly ness, this would be a time for a vocab word, hostile, yes thats how i was, hostile:(v) unfriendly;warlike but without the warlike part, and yes steph-la i no my vocab words without looking at the book (although i dont think i did good on the test) im stupid, im weird, man wat is wrong with me!

  28. i had a vocab test today. unrelated, i know. it was easy. unlike the bio test i managed to miss thanks to mr. thunderstorm knocking out all power.

    and it’s WIERD to see all these pics of internet ppl in real life. maybe one day i will have to make an awesome t-shirt and get photographed too.

    *angry because library system does not magically have SENSITIVE, the sequel to HOMEFREE that came out only 11 days ago*

  29. yay Lizzy-wa.All this tour news makes me sad when I hear it and realize all the bubblieness I’m missing. I’m 13 too and my mom probably wouldn’t have taken me. She took me to the Stephenie Meyer book sighning but that’s because she had read Twilight. It doesn’t matter though because SCOTT DIDN’T COME TO ST. LOUIS! Please scott come in three years when I can drive.

  30. when ur only sixteen though don’t you need to have an adult in the car with you to drive? so u sort of need to bring people with you anyway? i dunno, i’m iffy on this driving-law thing, and i know it varies from state to state.

    and i got my mom to drive me to a westerfeld book signing. actually, she was the one who found out about it. after i made her read peeps and midnighters.
    *basks in glory of a mom cool enough to actually read tithe before me and and said, this rocks. you must read it*

  32. I was there last night!!! I was actually able to convince my dad to drive us to Shoreline, even though it is a distance away. But I’ve convinced him into crazier things before, like going 6 hours early for the last year’s book signing in WA. lol

    Hey! You can kind of see my friend in the background of the picture! 🙂

  34. Such a cute shirt! 🙂

    I’m so jealous! I wish I was near one of Scott’s signings! so sad-making.

  35. I feel special in my mentioned-ness. Hehehe. Last night was so fun, but I was so tired this morning. It was worth it, though! Wooh! Especially when my friends and I kind of cornered Justine and had her sign our books.
    Fawesome night. Thanks for coming out here, Scott and Justine!

  37. Man, i really want scott-la to come to Houston! Go to Houston! Ya we rock! Me and my friends are waiting for you……….we are waiting, impatiently, we are waiting though! You are lucky if you got to meet scot-la! You can disappoint me sometimes Mr! Ya, so i think it is kinda weird seeing ppl in like pics to its just weird cause its not how u picture them so ya, oh and im like on chapter 7 for midnighters! good book, i just wish she would not think its a dream, it drives me crazy!!!

  47. all u people should be reading midnighters right now. or if u’ve read midnighters, you should be reading tithe and ironside. and if you’ve read tithe and ironside, you should be reading city of bones. and if you’ve read city of bones, you should be reading glass houses, the morganville vampires book one. and if you’ve read glass houses, you should be reading dead girl’s dance. and if you’ve read dead girls dance, you should be reading midnight alley. and if you’ve read midnight alley, you should be reading homefree. and if you’ve read homefree, you should be reading sensitive. and if you’re reading sensitive, LUCKY!!! i need to find a copy.

  49. love the shooz part. and Bran-la…i dont care. i look like a fourth grader i no. i get that a lot. i dont care. im 13 an i no it. i act like im 14. sometimes.

    yeah we should clone Scott-la. i think fifty would be about rite. just enough for every state. or maybe a few more for Miko-la an other peeps not in USA.

    an hay Kenzie-la! yeah i saw you their!

    hey guys. click on my name to read the whole story of my meeting with Scott-la and Justine-la and how i got photoed. its bubbly.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  50. an Bri-la…i just checked out your blog. you dont look like i pictured you ether. you kinda look like the gal in bridge to teribithia. we should all post what we really look like, an so we no what we really look like. if that makes sense.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  52. Thats so cool! I would give anything to meet you Scott-la. But nooooo. You have to go touring on the bogus /west/ coast. You got a problem with us here in the DC area?
    Sorry. But you really should come visit us, too, Scott-la. We *heart* youu!

  54. Yay! We get our own Scott-la clone! I SHALL KIDNAP SCOTTS CLONE AND FORCE A BUBBLY NEW MIDNIGHTER!!
    *hem*
    Kidding. I’m funny-making, no?
    *mutters*you will come to DC, Scott-la*mutters*

  55. I would so love to be you, Lizzy-wa. You get to meet Scott-la, and be in his blog, and stuff. I mean, todays my birthday and Scott-la’s not even in my general area… So unhappy-making.

  57. hehe. face ranks! Scott-la should find a way to make a face rank thingy for everyone who posts on here. that would be so FOOL! he’d be number one of course.

    HAPPY B-DAY TARA-WA!!!!!!!! so how many times ya been around the sun?

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  59. About 15. Born at 12:47 PM, which is totally unhappy-making.

    Anf I agree, Lizzy-wa. Scott-la should totally do that! It would be the fawsomest thing ever! I wonder how he would? Is there a way to see how many times a name has been said?

  61. Man, you guys are oldies, i am almost 13, almost, im almost there, very soon, although to be honest i look much older but u no ages come first, i guess, AWWW, i want to be 13 really bad, but i am almost there, almost, very soon!

  64. hehehe. lizzy-wa did u look at the one w/ scott? i look like such a nerd in that picture. but dont worry. i’ll look much better in my special picture 😛
    And what do u got against shoes?? i LUV my shoes! they are so KICK!! (heheheh how punny 😛 )
    o and just an fyi, im 13 also (going on 14 on November 8th CANT WAIT!)

  65. i no 12 is bogus, but again i dont look it, i look older, but any who, ya i want to become 13, i want to be a teen! I just feel so little!

  68. ya i guess everyone is sleeping or somthin, well that would make since considering time zones and all, by the way scott-la, i keeping my eye on you, you will come to my city, yes you will, you have to, i not asking im telling, no jokeing thats wat my mom says but seriously, you have to, and when i say im branda or bran w/e, you will say,”hey i no you, your the coolest, most awsome, commenter on my website, not only will i give you my signiture i want yours!”, and i will say, “i no, i no, just try not to brag about it.” and we will switch signings, make sure u practice ur lines, okay?

  69. AWWW, man, i want to go to high school so bad, only 2 more years if you count this year but if you dont only one more year, yeah!

  70. i dont want to write a project on a hero! NO, ahhh, to much work, hate math, dont like worksheets, need to be social!

  71. socialness bad. *pulls up black sweatshirt hood and turns up music*

    and i’m in high school. trust me, not much better than middle school. picture it like this. middle school sucks, right? well take out most of the suck, put a little back in, and then drop a thousand pound ton of bricks on your back, all in biology textbook form.
    that’s high school.
    also, it smells funny. like, really bad.
    on the better side, in high school when the power goes off, they just say, hey you can go home. and at the middle school you needed to get specifically picked up.
    bad side—you may be in high school, but you’re a FRESHMAN in high school.

    stupid internet ate all my posts from before. arrggh.
    and why do i suddenly feel old? i’m only 14. once again, it seems like this very same conversation occured here over the summer and everyone was older than me. so…..much…..reversal…..confusing me.

  72. Lizzy-wa!
    seriosuly mega-adorable!
    you’re so cute and tiny
    tehe
    very nice shirt!

    serafina.. talking about old…
    I’m 18!
    i guess i am an old lady now… *sigh*
    oh, and fall out boy is NOT emo!

  73. i know, but it’s still sort of pathetic. there’s anecdotes for you.
    and they’re what mainstream popular kids at scary-isolated suburbian my school call emo. sad, sad ignorance. sigh.
    *guiltily looks at iPod loaded with far, far emoer music*
    shoutout for people who are able to know whose album that is. i’m obsesive with stuff like that, but that’s just me.
    also, i think u technically count as emo if any of your songs have more than six words or two sets of parenthesis in thier titles. looks at playlist……i’m gonna go read a book now….and of course it isn’t one about an angsty teenager with piercings and or unnaturally colored hair….of course not. *looks shiftily from side to side and then dashes away*

  74. why is it forbidding me to post? does it know i’m sleep deprived and should really be leaving now? wordpress, your omnipotence frightens me.

  76. why does it hate my one epic post? why do you hate me, blog? why? why?
    talking to blog…..maybe i should go to sleep now.

  77. ok Liset. lets get one thing strate. I AM NOT CUTE AND ADORABLE! IM THE EXACT OPPOSITE! no seriously ask anyone at scool. i like run the place. i’ll be like. “STOP LOOKING AT ME!” and whoever was looking at me will just stare at me some more. and after like ten seconds they’ll start shaking and then they’ll look away. its so fool. but seriously. im not cute. im SPECIAL.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  78. and for the record. i have no idea what im looking at. not the camera obviously. i think i was looking at Justine-la’s shooz. or maybe my shooz. dont no. or maybe i was just counting the dots on the floor. i do stuff like that. and then im like biting my lip. i had just recently stabbed myself with a pair of scizzors like haf an our ago. long story. maybe i’ll post it on my blog. and so i was trying to lick the blood off. it was still bleeding. blood. and then she took the picture. i feel like such a dork. i still dont care. and for the record, IM NOT CUTE AND ADORABLE!

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  82. idk why but i htought alot of ppl were older… hmm w/e a face rank thing would be kinda of cool but in a way isnt that kinda of what we are trying to get away form like scott i think was trying to say that face ranks shouldnt exactly matter (sly girls anyone) i might bge totally off but to tired to think … must go to sleep

  83. That’s a great shirt, Lizzy-wa. Very bubbly. I went to go see Scott in Edmonds and it was pretty awesome. He took a picture of my face tatoo, we should see it up on the blog soon. If I could be an Ugly, Pretty or Special, I’d be an Ugly. Evasive surgery = not my thing.

  84. OMG!!! LIZZY-WA YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE LUCKIEST PERSON IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD (plus the future)!!!!!

    seriously like there aren’t words to describe your luckiness *squeals* yeah i’m like writing exactly what i’m thinking so please excuse my spastic-ness

    i read both of your blogs, lizzy-wa and bri-la, which of course just makes me even more envious of you guys meeting scott! LUCKY!

    so excited for halloween…costume almost ready…
    fake arm tattoo sleeves? check.
    liquid eyeliner for facial flash tattoos? check.
    fitted black shirt? check.

    all i have left is to figure out what i want to wear for bottoms, and diy the shirt w/ “special circumstances” or “i don’t want to hurt you, but i will if i have to” or something. halloween=love…most of the fun comes from planning the costume!

  85. i’m 14 too, serafina. and FOB is so not emo, swriously me and my friends—along w/ most of my school—LOVE them, and we don’t have like a primaryily emo poulation. for our school, you’re not considered emo till you’re either a guy wearing skinny jeans or a girl wearing an AFI concert tee.

    and yeah, high school’s no cake walk, but be happy that you don’t go to this school that i heard about on the news: THEY DON’T HAVE LOCKERS!!! they just built this beautiful new building, but IT DOESN’T HAVE LOCKERS. the pri9ncipal or some guy in charge said that “in the future students will carry all of their schoolwork in zip drives.” well, that day is not today, and those kids are all gonna have back problems by the time they graduate!

    our homecoming dance is tonight, can’t wait for that…one of my friends is staying over but we’re not bringing anything to the dance except our tickets and ourselves so nothing gets stolen. aaaahhhh that’s another thing making me spastic…none of us (my friends and i) are going w/ anyone, but to save money we all paired up and split the cost of couples tickets to save a couple bucks.

    sorry for the super long post…i’m not one of those people that can leave short to-the-point comments lol!

  86. I not supposed to be on here right now…but i don’t care!! Im probably one of the youngest people here i just turned 12 aug 26.

    Fall out boy is not emo! Pretty much everyone I know loves their music. My Chemical Romance might be emo but i dunno ive only heard one of their songs.

  87. Lizzy-wa you look so cute!!!! kick shirt!!!! i wish i was creative as that *tear* lol but kool. you met scott! thats wicked sweet! and hes blogging about you double wicked sweet!!!!

  88. OMG no lockers ?!?!?!?!?!?!

    THAT is harsh.

    Like a couple years ago, one of our middle schools ( not mine, the ghetto one ) burnt down TO THE GROUND. And the next year we were stuck with all of these ghetto people that thought they ran the school.
    WE were SO packed jam tight.
    They said that they would make another middle school. — It will be done in like 2 more years. — so angry-making

    UGGGGggg…. I don’t care, because I don’t go there now. But still, they didn’t go straight into working on building another MS but instead they were still working on redoing ALL of the Elementary schools.
    NO AIR CONDITIONING sucks.

  89. that is SO KICK!!!!!!! o my gosh, scott….u HAVE TO COME TO NEW ENGLAND!!!!!!!! I DONT KNOW HOW TO EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH!!!!! u dont know how much i need u to come here!!!!
    gotta go….my sis & i r gonna watch another episode of alias……
    o yea…hope the uglies movie is good!!
    -riderchild-wa 😀

  90. ok Ashley-wa…did ya not hear my tirade erlier. IM NOT CUTE! the exact opposite!

    and yes. the no lockers thing totally stinks. like a dead skunk on a hot summer day.

    ok. so i feel a little Aya-like. maybe i did a little bit of truth-slanting. but only a little bit. maybe. just maybe! i mite not turn 13 til november 29. but just maybe! not THAT much of a truth-slanting Slime Queen rite? but seriously. there are only 10 people on this earth (besides you guys now) that no im still 12. my six closest friends and my imediat family. thats it. everyone else thinks im 13. so dont go spreadin it! but i do act like im 14.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😉

  91. i’m 14 almost 15 in February.

    We have lockers but no one uses them so i figure we are all going to have back problems when we graduate.

    p.s. fall out boy is not emo!

  92. i dont listen to music. don no why. occasionally i’ll blast the music on the radio or somthin and my dad ull be like “what are you listening to these days!?” and i’ll be like “i have no idea!” yeah. im totally in tune with my surroundings.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  93. sorry i didnt Lizzy-wa. and omg i saw that ur b-day is on Nov. 29. mine is Nov. 20! thats pretty awesome!

  98. August birthday!!! just had to say that im am a unique crazy person on here (all the other crazy ones are born in november) 8) im cool

  99. Like i said before, u guys are old, compared to ma at least, o well, i like my generation and my frinds some i guess im fine for a few more years, although im desspertly awaiting for less homework, i mean we have a life, maybe teachers dont, but we do so ya, thats all i got to say, talk to u crumbilies later!

  100. HA, At least your not the oldest in your grade right now. I’m 13. But everyone else is twelve. I’m in 7th grade too, but I take all 8th grade classes. wierd huh. hey, at least i’ll be driving before everyone else. fool! ow my tooth hurts so bad. somethings wrong with my braces. why must the orthadontist close on the weekend. Ow hurts so bad.
    Amelia-wa
    (by the way, sorry about spelling errors)

  103. I shall now butt in to the conversation. I apologize.
    1. Do 14 year olds act a certain way? Because I’m fourteen. I wasn’t aware that there was a specific way that I act. I mean, I’m a mature person but I kow plenty of people my age who are not. Anyway.
    2. My birthday is in April.
    Okay. I’m done being weird and coming into the middle of stuff now.

  105. i know they’re not emo. stupid bogus internet ate my long explination posts. but, by the standards of the annoying person i was having that argument i mentioned that day, they were, which is why it was funny.

    my town has horrible taste in music. and they’re ignorant. lots of suburban white kids who love chamillionaire. *shiver, focus on strawberry fields forever playing from downstairs on authentic vinyl*

    and i don’t actually like them that much. and even odder, i do not actually own a copy of under the cork tree, so it is mysterious why the liner notes were in my kitchen.

    i don’t think MCR is emo. well, sort of. but they’re not what i’d call an emo band. sort of goth maybe. they’re more goth-emo than traditional emo.

    my bday’s in july. i’ll be fifteen. all my friends are older than me…..

    and (random fact i noticed) the two bands i like the best are The Raconteurs and the Arctic Monkeys. both of which have 13 letters in thier names. awesomely fawesome.

  106. and none of the schools in my district have air conditioning. do yours? they’re like eighty million degrees at all times.

    they don’t even have screens in the windows. so the high school is full of flies. arrrg.

    wow, all of this has so little to do with the books. here’s what i want to know….WAT UP WITH LEVITHIAN????? must. know. more. please.

    oh, and yeah, FOURTH MIDNIGHTERS DARKLING WEREWOLVES.

    now off to finishing my pile of library books before this rare low-homework weekend ends.

  107. im bored so i am going to comment and like capt. cockatiel i am butting in too..hope thats okay.

    i am also 14 and will be 15 on April 28th. can’t wait because i get to drive..w/ a parent but still i can’t wait to drive. its gonna be awesome.

  108. butting in is fun. it’s what i do when i disapear to go read a book for six hours and find eighty more comments.

    DARKLING. WEREWOLVES.

  109. my school is in nyc and we are the total oppisite of suburban… no offense to anyone but… we laugh at all the suburban/long island(for those of u who might line in ny) ppl… mi cuz is one of them… shes 12 and has the worst taste in music i’ve ever seen… really really bad…random note: topaz, i remember u from a while back wen i was on the blog all the time, in like April-june

  110. i don’t take offense.
    suburbs suck.
    well, i’m not *exactly* in a suburb. i call it one, but i think we’re technically too far. i’m in the hell that is upper-middle-class northern new jersey. almost as bad.

    i have cousins who live in long island, and they scare me even more than the people in my own town.

    i create my small haven in hell with headphones and refusals to talk to my friend who has nick lachey on her iPod.

    the discovery of that went something like this.
    me (scrolling through her iPod on boring school trip)–gives her odd look, indicating said horrible music.
    friend who shall remain nameless—what? what’s the problem?
    me, voice dripping with sarcastic disdain–Nick. Lachey. wtf??????
    oblivious friend—what’s wrong with nick lachey?
    me—gives up hope for humanity.

    i hijacked the stereo at her birthday party once and blared all my music. i think it scared all her other friends. i love scaring people…..

  114. the city seems like it would b a good place for u… not that i kno u… but from wat u say….srry if that sounds “stalker-ish”

  118. AWESOME SHIRT LIZZY-WA!!!! I love it!!!

    Ok, and I feel the need to stick up for the people on Long Island, since I do in fact live there. We’re not all crazy trust me. And we don’t ALL have bad taste in music.

  119. i ttly agree on the city thing. i’m a city person. i heart new york. especially a new york with a magical underworld….like in city of bones, wereling 2, peeps, valiant, ironside or almost all the other books i read.

    and i’ve got nothing against long island. Taking Back Sunday is from long island. so is my mom came from. i’m just sorta glad she moved away. but most of the awesomest people come from the worst places. lameness inspires revolution in the form of awesomeness.

    prime example of why it scares me—going to see uncle who lives in house he grew up in to visit his newborn third child, discover he has gone to football game with other two children. football game a block away at the high school. the same high school he, all his siblings, and his children have or will atttend.
    be afraid.
    my town’s like that too—some of my friends have the same teachers thier parents did.
    *mega-shiver*

  121. i dont hate long island at all, one of my best friends lives there. and i no its not ALL people, just a lot that i have met. plus, if ur reading books like these, u have to be different then the steriotype 🙂

  122. your right about going to the same school as your entire family Serafina, and is it totally creepy, that’s why when I graduate I am so out of here, lol

  123. ok just so u no, whoever said thaey were unique because of their February bday, there not, mine is to, i wish ppl didnt say there age, now i feel like a little nut in a bowl of potatoes, not that ur fat, but i guess now i feel like one in a million, AHHHH, i wish my bday would hurry up so i can turn 13, i want February to come, i want to be a teen! And i am mature!

  130. you have to believe me on this although it might be hard. o.k.? At my high school every year the graduating class pictures are hung on the wall since like 1923 or something and walking through the halls u will find my great grandma and grandpa, my grandpa and his brother and sister, my mom her brother and sister, my sister, and like 5 of my cousins, and in 4 long years me. All of this found in SweetHome, Or. population 8,000. omg I am totally serious, I’ll probably move to ny, because it is like the farthest possible place from Sweet Home. What makes it worse is the biggest social event is Friday night football games(I actually walked down the street to go to one last week, what have I become?)

  131. forgot to tell u that i have 3 teacher right now that my mom had and the same vice principle(everyone is wondering when he’s going to die) it’s true small towns like this really so exist.

  133. oh my god…that’s scary. one time me and my friends found all the vintage yearbooks in the middle school, going back to 73 and we found people’s parents. *sigh, shiver*

    and not really. well, sometimes. he does have his own clothing line. and some of the adds are a little….. (that’s post 129 i’m talking to)
