Okay, still at World Fantasy. Lots of cool YA authors here. Mostly have been hanging out with Garth Nix and the rest of the Aussie contingent, and keep running into Holly Black and Cassie Claire, who turn out to be in the same hotel as me.
More later on con activities, but first lots of Halloween cossies to share. From the Uglies books, this from Jamie and Nona:
And Tamir (too old to trick or treat, but went for the Special treatment anyway):
And finally Ally B. From Arkansas, who also dressed up to take some littlies out:
And this interpretation of Shay’s “nest of snakes” tattoo, from Colorific:
And Tara-wa as a Cutter:
And a trio of hoverboarding Smokies:
And from the Midnighters side of things, a darkling-proof pumpkin!
And Dess and Melissa:
Sorry if I missed anybody, I’m darting in and out of my hotel room. Hope you had great Halloweens!
woo comment number fifty! that’s what happens when you sleep all afternoon. back to NaNoWriMo now.
Haha. Thanks! I’m 23 and have been married for 3 years now!
Lizzy-wa, That’s awesome you did it in sharpie! Quite gutsy.
Omg Tamir-la, you look like your nearly 20. but that can just show you how apperances arent everything!lol.
Im going to send in my phots of me, i hope scott-la can put them up! Plz, that would be totally awesome!
i did ym tatto in eyeliner, came off easy!
Our pictures got posted! I’m so happy.
hehe i love your name, mistranslated nonelectrical ornimentation.
I had a dream last night that I was Jess. and that my younger sister was Beth. I don’t remember who Jonathan, Dess, Melissa, and Rex were. I don’t even remember what they looked like. But when the blue time came, well…it was fawesomely blue!
Also, it gave me a great idea about what the FOURTH MIDNIGHTERS should be like when Scott-la writes it.
do u remember that i was going to post why tha darklings r scared of 13
iam going to after this post is that ok with u
why did i ask ❓
whatever
omg i get to go to the rockets game today 🙂
so happy 🙂
it is my brothers b-day and my teacher (mrs. van sant) and emily elkins
lots of b-days today
on a clock the blue hour or what ever u call it on a clock it would be the 13 number after 12
and that is why darklings r scared of the number 13
cool number 60
Steph-la, i dont understand your explination on why the are afraid of 13. maybe they just have trickadeckaphobia (the fear of the number 13)
Yea— we all know they do but it is WHY they do that she is trying to explain.
duh.
*confused and ignoring incoherentness. darn it, fourteen letters*
i made a necklace to go along with my melissa costume and named it Theoretically Canaballistic Monstrosities. which totally describes darkling werewolves, btw. i lost it though. *sad*
i’m totally gonna send in my huge amount of pics and halloween and fanart today.
Oh I get what Steph-la is saying. I always assumed Scott-la chose 13 because it’s superstitious (13 letters – hehe). I always seem to come up with 13 letter words. My dream about midnighters last night was so fawesome. Except that I didn’t get to look at frozen people because for some reason they weren’t frozen.
Hi, i was dumb and couldn’t figure out how to send the pictures, or find your email! I do have a photo though here it is (if that doesnt work go here
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j227/rember89/Photo39.jpg
oh yeah and in midnighters the whole 13 thing yester 11/2 (13!!!) i threw my garbage in a can labled 13 and saw someone screaming after a guy wait no Frizz come back, Frizz, Frizz! WEIRD
freaky. the wierdest things that happen to me is odd laseux cave videos.
SCOTT-LA! check out my post on the last thread! it’s freaky, is it not? just that “unicorn” is scary enough.
*contemplates sending in fanart*
Oh no Tali-wa you made me realise: today is 11/3. Which used to be 9/3, before Julius and Augustus came around. 9 + 3 = 12. I have a feeling this link is going to mess up my post:
http://www.lyricsdir.com/boys-like-girls-five-minutes-to-midnight-lyrics.html
After reading Midnighters, well…
sadly i was born at like 5 or something
i was born at like 9:30, but i have a long term goal to translate that into oklahoma time and find out. maybe i’ll do that now.
there’s this joan osbourne album (one i actually don’t like as much as her others) that is totally midnighters-ish. some like about a pretty hispanic boy and a whole song about blue time or something.
*back to collecting fanart*
i shall go translate it into oklahoma time
hehe. Amy-la. i think its just Tridecaphobia. not…whatever you said. hehe. 13 letters in it. hehe.
Tali-wa. nice flash tatoos. temperary i suppose? hehe. im funny-making. i didnt no they left the freckles on during the SPECIAL operation. hehe.
hehe. i was born at like 5:43 pm. i think. so in Bixby time thats only like…7:43 or sompthing. i think. hhhmmmm…
i said hehe alot in this comment. hhhmmm…and about the whole 9/3 thing…YIKES! im having bad luck already. i had to rite this comment 3 times! (thats a factor of 12) i hope this one sends!
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😆
ooh, fawesome! <3
no i went to deigo and got freckles
yea! i sent in my huge email of fanart and pictures! i also name-checked Chasing Midnight Werewolves, Co-Prez.
hmmm…today’s been moderately good for me so far. i shall have to look out for darklings just to be careful, though.
pretty icy, i’m definity doing that next year.
no doubt about it.
yeah im so doing it…
hmm, so today’s date adds up to 12. maybe that’s why i had such a terrible time shopping today. i couldn’t find the stupid junior’s section at walmart. then when i went to get new tennis shoes, i couldn’t find the ones i wanted until a lady showed me that my size extended around the corner. and apparently it’s new to have it that way. and it explains why someone else in my town stole my friend’s phone number!!! they seriously did!!! i should stick a darkling on them tonight… can’t though, i was born at 2:55 pm. which is 12:55 pm oklahoma time. danget, 12 hours and 55 minutes too late. ooh, 12 hours, bad. grr… but at least tomorrow it’ll add up to 13!! according to the old time, when november was the 9th month. yay!! the day adds up to 13 when i have a silver ring thing to go to!!! and it’s at my school!!! i feel so honored!! no clue why that has anything to do with what i was saying, but whatever.
hehe, long posts are fun!!!
umm i know this is not related to the halloween picture or the halloween what so ever, but i heard the rumor that theres going to Uglies the movie… is that true or is just another rumor. because if its not a rumor, i really want to know who plays who and if theres goign to be an additions for the characters.
there really is going to be and uglies movie. i’ve looked it up on imdb, but it’s a long time away. i think they’re probably doing auditions right now, but i’m not sure.
i still doubt. mainly because i’m desperately hoping the movie doesn’t get made.
i’m trying to translate my birth time into oklahoma time zone now….more later.
its been optioned as a movie. about 1% of all movies that are optioned are actually made into movies. they havent picked actors yet. they probably havent read the book. and its been optioned by the same peeple that made eragon. i dont no about you. but i dont think any of that information is on the positive side of things. humph. oh yeah. and they almost never just have open auditions. and when they do they require you to have an agent and such. you cant just walk up to them and say “hey. ive never acted or been on tv before, but ive read this book and i really want to be in the movie.” more bad news.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 8)
hey Serafina-la. what shood i post about next? im thinking some kind of contest but i dont no what kind of contest. any ideas?
by the way. for those of you that have to idea what i am talking about. Serafina-la and i are Co-Prezs of the CHASING MIDNIGHT WEREWOLVES club. we are trying to convice Scott to rite his fourth Midnighters book, CHASING MIDNIGHT. which will be packed with DARKLING WEREWOLF action. click on my name to view. say the word to join. yepyepyep.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 😈
darnit. 7:57 oklahoma time.
check out this site i found—http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc
to find out if YOU could be a midnighter, first click “Use the Following Date and Time”
and then put in your birthdate and time
then set the “From Time Zone” box to whatever time zone you’re in (there’s a way you can find out on the site–or just click which city you’re near in what country)
then change the bottom box to America/Chicago, which is the equivilent of Bixby time.
then click “Convert Time Now”
and boom. midnighterage. or not.
how about you post that site i just posted to, Lizzy-wa? or that creepy caves with unciorns things i put in the last post?
or maybe a tridocalogism contest or something. or fanart. or like chapter titles or fun stuff to do with the theoretical Chasing Midnight. maybe make a cover. or name a good darkling-werewolf slaying/saving weapon. i got one—Theoretically Caniballistic Monstrosities.
*thinking*
i sent my melissa pictures to scott-la along with some midnighters fan art, and i mentioned the HQ page!
hmmm….i really don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to spell “Canaballistic”
i don’t think that’s right either….
hehe. ok i’ll try one of those.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 8)
fawesome.
i tried the time convertor thingy and it didnt work. but i figured out that i was born at 7:43pm Bixby time. yepyepyep. still quite a ways away from being a Midnighter. *sigh*.
-Lizzy-wa OUT! 8)
how did it not work?
r u sure u clicked “use this time” not “use current time”? cuz that took me a while to figure out.
and i’m only like ten minutes closer to being a midnighter than you. *sigh*
unless you were in the morning. cuz i was at night. which is actually pretty close.
Whoa, those are some pretty amazing costumes–great detail on the tatoos! <3
Scott, my review of Extras made it onto Push to Talk, the teen blog that is powered by The Seattle Public Library. I hope you will all check it out! The link under my name goes to it.
Serafina, my computer has spell check (hehe…without it computer would’ve come out as comupter). It’s spelled cannibalistic. All 13 letters in their perfectness…
has anyone read I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have To Kill You by Ally Carter? I like just finished the book it’s so fawesome. I just got it around 30 hours ago (they didn’t have a clock, so I’m guessing).
Man I always end up making long posts. I try not to, but I just end up putting everything down that I think. I have a habit of doing that…
Click my name!
ha. my posts are usually even longer and ramblier. don’t feel bad.
yeah, i had a feeling that ‘a’ was wrong. i do have spell check, just too lazy to use it.
nope, never read that one.
My spell check is automatic. It underlines misspelled words in red like Microsoft word. I use Mozilla Firefox, which is infinitely times fawesomer than internet explorer. me in all my computer-geekiness lol. Which none of my friends know about, btw. it’s a secret. Which is why i post it on the www.
FOURTH MIDNIGHTERS DARLING WEREWOLVES!!!!!
well i’m on boring old old version of internet explorer. but i have Arctic Monkeys! so i’m better! there!
Firefox is free to download. Don’t ask me what the link is…I don’t know. Despite the fact I’m the one who put it on my computers, both crappy Windows 2000. Which actually made my iPod freeze when I tried to charge it last week. So I have to use my dads laptop from work which he has to set up on the kitchen table. Speaking of which…I need to buy songs! But not Arctic Monkeys!
*Avril Lavigne
*The last Goodnight
*Boys like Girls
*My Chemical Romance
*REM (It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine). Which kind of freaks me out. Sometimes I wonder if anyone actually knows what they’re saying. like every source is different. http://youtube.com/watch?v=zeo0_3gN190 has the lyrics while the song plays.
Wow, another one of those long posts.
long posts rock!
and arctic monkeys are awesome!!!!!!!
all you people are vamprires!
avril lavigne is kind of……yeah…….bad.
boys like girls = okay
my chemical romance = pretty awesome
rem = classic
umm…the last goodnight? who’re they? wait…they’re those poseur guys, aren’t they.
this computer has windows 2000 too. it’s like 7 years old. my laptop has vista though. but it kind of sucks.
I only like 2 or 3 Avril Lavigne songs (hmm…from her first album only), same for Boys like Girls. I have only ever heard one The last goodnight song – Pictures of You, which is pretty good. MCR rocks! So does FOB (ha trying to shorten my post a little). The only bad thing is the radio only plays crappy pop hits like Rihanna (Is that how you spell it? Spell checker no good with names.), so I never hear the music I like. so sad-making. Except Teenagers by MCR came on a couple weeks ago. but just because it was like really high in the hot 100. but it kind of sucked because they blanked out the swear word – there’s only like one in the whole song, but it’s in the chorus.
Does anyone else hate Carrie Underwood music with a passion? Maybe I’m just biased against all country music.
And I could rant all day about the evils of…Kanye West, Soulja Boy, and rap in general. And I’m sorry to anyone who likes them. It’s just my opinion.
