  3. Numbah three! … ?

    I wish I were in New York. All the cool authors live there and don’t really go anywhere else very often.

    Love the new covers, too. I kinda wish I didn’t already own the older ones… But then, I think that the old covers are really cool too.

    They probably thought the oldies looked a little too horror-ish? I dunno. I kind of thought that when I got them.

    But they are still made of awesome.

  5. kool i love the new covers, my friend own the older ones and i will have to buy the new ones and rub it in her face HAHA

  6. The covers for both hardcover and trade are so ridiculously awesome, I want to get both, which would be pretty silly of me. More annoying is the fact that I’m still not sure whether the third cover is Jonathon or Rex. Looks a lot more like Rex, but with an acrobat symbol. Did they tell you who they had in mind when they made the cover?

  8. Thst’s funny I saw them all at a Borders in LA on the 26th. SCOTT! You should totally go to thta Borders! I would actually be able to meet/see you!Well, anyway DFTBA!

  10. All the best authors live in New York. And yet, I’m stuck here in Kentucky. But thats okay! Because Scott came to Lexington! And I got to meet him! Its totally bubbly-making just thinking about it!

    Scott: Did you know that you are really hard to get a hold of?? I clicked your contact me link but it didn’t work. We want you for the SUPER AWESOME PROJECT!! Which will get more teens into reading and raise awareness about censorship. For more info go to reesespeaks.blogspot.com

  11. I’m with Bran-la on this. I can’t get the new covers. I already have the old ones. *sighs and looks forlornly at the beautiful pictures.*

  18. love the covers.
    hate that your going to NY
    WHAT ABOUT WASHINGTON DC comeon u have lots of fans there and its only an hour and a half train ride from NY =]

  20. I love the new covers. I think they represent the books well. I am finally on Blue Moon–gotta give me some time to catch up. I am old, after all.

  21. MWAHAHA
    I was on tylenol for pain and I haven’t taken any for a while now so I am laughing manically at EVERYTHING!!!!

  22. Awww… Can’t make it.. : ( It’d be great if you could come to Upstate NY. I still love the covers!

  25. i’d ask you to come somewhere near me but everywhere near me is suuuuppppppeeeerrrrrrr tiny. the only place near me thats actually a city in my state is ironton and is tiny. the closest place to me thats actually big is charlston wv. its 2 hours away. 🙁 sadness. im not even gonna put a happy smile at the end soooooo sad,

    luv ya toots 🙁

  26. Hailee is — wow. Because you stopped in THE MIDDLE of the 1st Midnighters book, I don’t think you care that much about reading it.

    Why would you stop in the middle of a book that you like — you wouldn’t ( atleast I wouldn’t ).

    YOU even did that with A Certain Slant of Light a few months ago and you still aren’t done with it. ( Good book by the way )

    I guess I could buy the books with the new covers because my other ones got all bent up from bringing them to school.
    🙂 — Paper back is SO not for me.

  27. Would buy them, but already spent my gift card on Maximum Ride. Which I’m reading right now.

    back to reading.

  31. Those new covers look cool and all, but I still don’t like the models used for #2 and 3. I’m going to have to side with the old covers. Anyone have any idea if the books are still available on paperback in their old covers?

  34. love, love, love, the new covers. hopefully i can convince my mom to buy them for me.

    today was my first day back at school…it went well. and i finally got to see what i got on the papers and tests we had the day break started. that was happy-making i did really good on like everything. 🙂 overall very good day!

  36. Uhhhh, this day has been so long. im tired, hungry, and i am cold.

    Urg. I need to read So Yesterday but i dont want to start until school starts because i no ill finish it in 2 days. Maybe thats good though, ill be able to concentrate on school work and studying, fun.

  38. Yeah Scott, if your gonna go on tour anytime soon, you need tot go to different places, u didnt come to my state at all!

  41. It must be weird living in Washington DC because its not really in a state. It doesnt really belong to anything, its just, Washington DC.

  42. i cood have gone twice! i guess i shood have…i only brought half of my books for him to sign. i cood have gone the second nite and gotten the rest signed….but my mom was already kinda mad at me…

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😉

  44. Hehehe, i have a last name on one of my storys thats kind of odd and it keeps giving me these weird suggestions on how to spell it.

  45. In 8th grade, we go on a trip to Washington DC. Its gonna be scary……. on a plane, with all of 8th grades, in a hotel.

    This year we go on a state trip where we stay in a bus all day and look at tourist sites. Yeah. I hope i dont share a bed with some weird girl.

  46. Darn it! I just relized something: this spring break I’m going to NY with the NHS (National Honors Society) and your still in NY this spring, Scott, I wouldn’t get to see you anyways! And I’d be soooooooooooooo close! Dang it! 🙁 *pouts*

  49. Hi All, so i went to my barnes and noble today to pick up the newly renovated covers for midnighters, but there was nothing. Is it out in stores? or just online? any help is appreciated. thanks a bunch.

  50. I like how people say you should go to different places. And I agree. But either come to Cincinnati or go to Lexington again.

  51. No, its out. There popular so they probably just sold. they will get more. Barnes and Noble always put things out early so they probably sold early.

  52. Barnes and Noble seems to mess up a lot. Weren’t they the ones who put Harry Potter books on sale early?

  53. SUPER AWESOME PROJECT

    The goal of the super awesome project is to get more teens into reading. And to be a place where teens who do like to read can go to find book reviews, interviews with their favorite authors, lists of good books, everything and anything that is YA. For you. By you. Also, it will raise awareness about censorship. Which is nine kinds of fawesome.

    Interested?
    For more info visit reesespeaks.blogspot.com and leave something in the comments section
    or
    email me at missingauthor2 AT gmail.com
    or
    discuss it here. Have yourselves a field day.

  55. hey reese…i think that super awesome project is awesome. i mean im not a teen, far from it, late 20s you know what i mean but i like YA reads better. anyway.. im a senior art director and have work with random house as well, i would like to help to make graphics into this campaign of getting more awareness out there especially about reading. check out my website for my portfolio.

  57. Jumpy-wa, we already have a person doing graphics and whatnot. But maybe she’ll want your help! I’ll contact you.

  65. humph. i personally LOVE to read!!!!! i need a new bookshelf tho. well, not so much a new bookshelf as ANOTHER bookshelf. hehe. half of my books are stuffed under my bed and in spare corners of my dresser, and the rest are double stacked on my five story bookshelf. hehe. but i dont have room for another one. *sigh*.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! :mrgreen:

  67. I had books piled on my desk but we cleaned my room today which made me happy because they’re all organized now!

  69. i think adult books are over rated. there is a certain magic and definitely a lot more variety in creativity to YA books. Westerfeld proves that. and a lot of other YA authors.

  70. Did I just spark a discussion? I think its possible. Oh, and lizzy-wa. http://www.stepheniemeyer.com They are posted there.

    The great thing about YA novels are that it can be about anything. And we’d love it anyway. But adults, “a book about a man eating platapus who falls in love with a vampire who likes chocolate??? Absurd!” That is why I love YA. That and other reasons.

  73. i want the uglies movie!
    like seriously that would be the best thing ever. i would probably have to stay at the theatre at all times though making sure my friends who hadnt read the book weren’t trying to sneak in without me knowing….i alreayd told them last year they couldnt see it….i think WAYYYY ahead of time
    so yea anyone have any news on it?

  74. There’s going to be an Uglies movie? Sweet!
    Why does everyone on here say fawesome? I actually just recently became a real YA,but I’ve been a YA reader for a long time cause i have had a freakishly high reading level since 5th grade cause since then every time I took the stupid reading test it showed that I have a 12.9+ reading level.*sigh*( try being in an elementary school library with that kind of comprehension of literary work)For a long time my teachers made me read those really boring non fiction, put you to sleep in like five seconds, about something or someone like hundreds or thousands of years ago kind of books that made me hate reading. But now that I am aloud to read a wider variety of books I love reading.(Oh yeah the reason I wasn’t aloud to read YA was because it wasn’t considered appropriate for a 5th grader.But that was a few years ago anyway.)

  75. I love the new covers. I especially like Jonathon’s cover because that is like exactly how I imagined he looked like.Cool huh?

  76. When you and Justine are going to be in Michigan for the ConFusion, are there any chances of a signing or something outside of the con? Something that doesn’t cost $45?

  77. I FINALLY FOUND EXTRAS! i was away for a few days in the middle of nowhere, and i was DYING for an internet connection, but anyways, when i came back, i went shopping, and there it was! i only got it this afternoon, and i’m already finished it, and now i’ve got word vomit, like i can’t stop speaking westerfeldian. i keep saying stuff like “ego-kicking” and “vision-wrecking”

  78. i loveeee the new covers! they are much more appealing now :]
    i actually have to make a book cover for my comp. graphic design class in school, and it has to be of a book that is real, not one we’ve made up. i did one for the secret hour. well actually…im in school right now working on it. haha. its looking really cool so far :]

  79. The new covers look great.
    Aww, everything exciting happens in New York 🙁
    Although I suppose the fact that I just finished reading the second Gossip Girl book yesterday and watching episode 12 may have a slight impact.
    lol Speaking of Westerfeldian lingo, now, I’ll be in the middle of a conversation and have the urge to add an “ing” verb to the end of an emotion (e.g. oh wow, that’s so happy-making!)
    It’s already 2008!!

  80. ugh. I REALLY wanna get the new covers (so I can have *almost* all of your books) but altogether they cost like $30! and I only have that much left on my Borders gift card and there is so many other good books that I haven’t read yet. OHHHHHH….. ugh. I suck at shopping of any kind.

  81. Ew. Not gossip Girl. Cant stand it. My friend watches the show, vision-wrecking! Hehehe.

    I finally woke up before 10, new record, 8:16! It sucked, but i get out of bed anyways!

  82. Oh come one Bri-la. Its not that hard to pack up 30$. And anyways, there pretty, there worth it! 🙂

  84. hahahaha
    my friend wants to say something
    HHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIii I’m Elli-wa
    hehe =P
    ich leibe Buche bei Scott Westerfeld
    I love books by Scott Westerfeld

  87. I agree with Bre-la Scott should come to California.(More specifically, the San Juaquin Valley.)

  91. Ah… My winter break ends on Monday… so it doesn’t really matter what day it is to me! Except Mondays 🙁
    Plus its super windy and rainy that my brother didn’t go to school….. Brr..

  95. Well, i had a full day of shopping. And all i bought was shoes.
    Juicy flats, brown to be exact. I saw a cute purse but i didnt get it.

    one time, We had to cancel school because people where freaking out that it was going to be bellow 40 and raining, so they canceled it. It was like 50 outside, and we got a free day.

    Im bored.

  97. THATS sooo unfair….they dont cancel school here unless its like snowing and sticking

    it was like 20 degrees this morning….

    well actually i live near DC so we missed some school during the sniper scares a couple of years ago

  99. i had school today. i dont no how to make a glaring smiley. thay need to have one. my teacher mrs jones puts on too much eye-liner and it looks like she has a permenant glare. u look up and it looks like she’s glaring at u but then u look closer and u realize she’s not its weird

    not going to put my signature smiley and phrase in case teacher is reading, she h8s me enough already.

  103. Its ok, i have teachers call me Brandon all the time. When you got a name Branda, its really close to Brandon so, ya. Im used to the misspellings and mispronunciations.

    You want me to read your fanfic? Did you add more?

  104. And just for the future, just because my name is similar to Brandon, doesnt mean im a guy.

    Im pretty sure im a girl.

  109. Scott’s coming to my hometown!!! w00t!! Yes!! I am so there!!! ……if my mom will drive me…or give me money to hop a train…. curse my dependency on parental forces. Arghhh.

  110. ok so im a little slow reading these…but Bran-la you actually got out of school b/c they thought it was gonna be 40 degrees out….that’s crazy. 40 degrees is warm.

  116. Ha! My parents asked me when im gonna cook i said “Not til i have too.” And they said “you will have to sooner or l8r.” and so my friend were over while they said this and we were all hungry so…………. i made some of those heat up hot dog. BAM! Lunch served.

    Thats how i cook.

  121. I just tried to make cookies and I ended up starting a fire.Smart move huh?It was an accident though.Oh my gosh it is hecka windy and rainy, the gazebo to the spa just flew across the yard. HaHaHa, at least I don’t have to pick it up.(Oh yeah, the cookies turned out ok, I just set the oven mitt on fire.)I guess I won’t have the same problem as Bran-la cuz my parents are afraid to trust their accident prone child with anything.LoL

  123. Lunch huh?
    Try the preist!
    Lawyers rather nice. If it’s for a price. Order something else, though, to follow since no one should swallow it twice!
    What about poet or something like that?
    Now, you see, the trouble with poet is how do you know it’s… deceased?
    Try the preist!

    I’ve been listening to too much Sweeney Tod, I think…
    Never eat meat pies in London! They have people inside. And cats.
    For that matter, never get a hair cut in London either!

  125. Yep, in CA. The tree in the backyard is permanantly bent. Poor tree… I never got to know you very well….

  127. Ha! thats funny. I have never burnt cookies……. because i have never made them. i just have my mom buy the store bought.

    Uh, cooking id boring, cleaning the mess is even more boring.

    My book is going really well, im so proud!!!! Love Stalks: romance, sci-fi, and drama. Definitely a YA.

  134. The season’s first big storm has left thousands without power and brought the threat of mudslides, avalanches, and flooding to much of the state.
    thousands includes you Bre-la!

  135. Seriously! If the power goes out again I am going to fix the power myself! Wiether or not I will survive, no one knows.

  137. Humm… Nothing much to say
    – I guess I have a friend named Bre ( Short for Breinn )
    She is a typical know it all :p

    THANK GOD that the caucus is over here. I HATE all of thoes calls you get. — Oh well next time I will be able to acutually vote.
    I am glad to get the caucus over with early – thats what you get for living in Iowa.

  138. OMG my back yard is completely under water! It’s like right at the back door and we don’t even have sandbags or anything! It’s totally crazy, I can’t believe it! Well as you have probably guessed I’m in”sunny” California too.HaHaHa!(wow I used a lot of exclamation points there) I will go crazy if the power goes out cause I don’t even have anything to read. My ‘helpful’ sister said I should try reading the phone book.Ha!

  140. Holy Cow, Blue Noon flashback. My bro is watching Avatar on Nickelodeon, and I’m on the computer right? And all of a sudden, they say something about Winter Solstice and the Spirit world colliding with the human world and how this one Aang dude is supposed to save everyone. Uhh dude! Total flashback!! Samhain, Midnight world (if that’s the right thing to call it) and daylight world colliding on October 31st!! The 5 midnighters have to save everyone?!?! Total Midnighters flashback!!

  141. I got it off of Yahoo! News.
    Yeah, my half-sisters, Alice and Candice, just went back to my mom’s house in California and then it stormed

  142. Well, unlike the rest of you. Im here in the southern US, chillin’ with my 50 degree weather (Pretty cold 4 us). This weekend its suppose to be in the 60-65 maybe 70 range. AWESOMNESS! Im so warm. Well kinda. Warmer than most im sure.

    I love living where i live, i am SO NOT a winter. Im a summer.

  143. Hey Everyone, Oooohhh I love those covers! And, since I haven’t read the Midnighters series, I can buy those!!!

    Don’t hurt me guys (because I haven’t read them) I’ve been meaning to get them, but whenever I try to get them from the library, well they aren’t there!

  144. 50 degrees is warm. where i live winters are cold…sometimes below zero. and summers are hot…sometimes over 100. stupid midwest.

  145. Haha, same.
    I’ve got the same weather.
    My cousin’s boyfreind complains about it being 40 degrees…and how hes wearing longjohns..and im like
    “dude, thats baby weather, serouisly.”
    and hes like “umm here, thats like freezing.”
    and i said “When its freezing here, its below 0”
    and hes like “haha, sucks for you”
    but when its hot, its HOT.
    like over 100 hot.

  146. Our summer get up to 105 sometimes and our winters our around the 50’s and 60’s. I think its cold though so…….

    It depends on what your use to.

  147. Ummm….it doesn’t? get that cold here…..I think….idk….it was 42 today but its usually in the 60’s in the winter….I think….??? But it gets pretty hot in the summer perfect beach weather!!

  148. I actually read the Au Pairs and heard that apparently that was similar to Gossip Girl, so I read the first one (ages ago) but didn’t really get into it. Then the show comes out and everyone’s all obessesed with it and whatnot, so I figured that I might as well go and check out the second book as well.

    Hmm, it’s pretty cold here in the winters–about half a foot of snow outside right now, actually.

  150. OOPS
    i did not mean to do that\

    GREAT
    now i forgot what i was going to say
    o well

    i will leave

    gtg 😉

  151. OOooohh! It snowed here, yesterday! Guess how much snow we got on the ground after we got out!!!???

    Oooopss! Wow I am really bored, I wasn’t going to post this but, I want to see what it looks like, sorry! 😉

  155. Ew. Ok i just had something really disgusting happen.

    I was down stairs and i was talking to my parents when i stepped in something really gross. I think it was doggie vomit. And it was on my heal and it was gross and i washed my foot in the sink.
    Nasty. Dogs. Barfin.

  157. No Problem. Anytime.

    Hey, if you suffered by reading it, think i suffered my experiencing it.

    But like i said. No Problem.

  160. Lol. I was laughing in grossness when it happened to me too. maybe its a side effect.

    Cause: Step In vomit
    Effect: Giggle

  161. It was like 2 degrees this morning in IN, where I live
    & I consider hot when it gets about 85+ (Summer weather)
    except sometimes summer only gets to about 60, which sucks

  166. erm…??? What are you talking about Serafina?
    Rain and wind gusts of 80 mph pummeled the Golden State, toppling trees, flipping big rigs, and cutting power to a million residents.–that was for you people in CA (also from Yahoo! News)

  167. O, she bet that we would have about 140 comment when she returned and we had more.

    Uh, i am dying to get this Juicy Couture Purse.

  169. That was a funny Story on the ChasingMidnightersWerewolves site. HIM. Hehehe.

    She wrote on herslef. A lot.

    Our school rules say that you cant write on yourself. Stupid. We also cant wear sweat pants. Stupid.

  171. Steph-la, heyyy my almost my dads whole side of the family, and I have like 50 million cousins, and 60 degrees is NOT warm, neither is 85 degrees or whatever you said, but your right It does get really cold in Indiana.

    Bran-la, your schools stupid, although the school doesn’t like you writing on yourself your still allowed to, and we do. Also we are allowed to wear sweatpants in school, so comfortable when you don’t feel like getting ready, ’cause your sooo tired!

  172. A kid came to math class with stuuf written all over his arms and my teacher started yelling, “YOU STUPID, IDIOTIC KIDS WITH YOUR STUPID ARMS!!!” (she was on back medication; it made her all loopy and angry.)

  177. Ummmm, Netta-la what time is it over there? Because I think you guys have the same time as me and its only 9:45….

  184. I wish it would snow here! Stupid low elevation! I am so excited!
    My power better not go out because I just hit a break through with my writing.(or i’ll have to use paper and a pen.urrg.) Most of you Twilight fans have probably heard that they cast Robert Pattinson as Edward. I don’t know why,but for some reason I just don’t think that he would be a good Edward. I think that Jackson Rathbone should be Edward. And that’s not just my opinion it’s Stephanie Meyer’s too.( It was on her site) Tell me who you think should be Edward. Anyone? (Sorry to go all Stephanie Meyer, Twilight series on you.)
    See ya!

  186. I wanted to get onto Westerboard, but it requires ID and password before getting there. Is anyone else having this problem?

  189. nice nice Tali-wa

    we had a pet iguana for about 8 or 9 years but we had to put it to sleep because of cancer a couple of weeks ago and the cage that it was in that my brother and dad made was in my brother room which is upstairs. and we are giving it to our friends who have a big iguana. It is very scary to watch two people carry a 6x4x2 foot cage down stairs, especially since our steps have a landing half way and then it turns. BUT everyone survived hehe with just a little gash in the wall

  190. Yeah, it was only about 10:00 but my step-mom was freaking out and said that we would be late for school on Monday if we didn’t go to bed..

  191. U have a pet iguana? Thats kinda weird dont you think. I went to Mexico, and i held these really heavy iguana. They scare me now.

  198. YES! I DONT HAVE TO GO SEE THE STATUE TODAY (I have to go tommorrow when it’s less crowded)
    My sister Addie has a gecko

  203. I’m bored! But that was pretty funny.HeHeHe!”Does he sell car insurance?” Okay I’m bored again.

  207. If you’re bored, go find a copy of Dreamhunter by Elizabeth Knox. That will mess with your mind a little. Then if you like that you can read the sequel Dreamquake– which I’m about to do. :o)

    Or go make fudge.

    Ta

  208. For the first suggestion: My parents are busy working and nobody else can take me to get a book, otherwise I would be reading right now.
    for the second suggestion: I don’t know about other people on here, but I am physically incapable of baking anything, regarding my little cookie fiasco of yesterday.

    Once again I’m BORED!

    See ya!

  211. Hey, has anyone read “Among the Hidden” series by Margret Haddix? The Uglies and those books are somewhat alike.

  212. is “Among the Hidden” the 1st book in that series? cuz i got “Among the Free” for a present awhile ago, but i haven’t read it yet.

    i am also dreadfully bored….i really want to paint my room….hmmm…i have the paint, and the stuff. but my mom doesn’t want to help me today, and i asked her if i could have a painting party with a few friends tonight and she said no. so what now??

  213. Yeah, Among the Hidden is the first one (more or less) but Among the free must be a new one cuz I haven’t read them in a lone time.

  214. hmmm cool….a new reason from my mom to buy me more books. hehe. cuz it only makes sense to start with the first one. lol.

  219. Yeah
    I’ve read the series but for some ood reason I remember reading the last book, among the free, but I don’t remember ANYTHING about it…. hmmm maybe I have amnesia

    I can’t cook either, I always forget that I’m supposed to be cooking and burn everything

  221. yea i’m not a good cook either. my friends always tease me about not knowing where things are in the kitchen. lol. one time when i was like 7ish my mom told me to put my hotdog in the microwave when i got hungry (she had volleyball or something…and my dad was sleeping…and i was hanging out with my brother) and so i put the hot dog in the microwave and she had told me to to put it in for 2 mins. so i pushed the buttons on the microwave and accidentally put it in for 20 mins. lol. and so i ran off to go play again…soon forgeting about my hotdog. a little while later my dad wakes up, smells smoke, goes to kitchen, finds smoke coming from microwave, opens microwave, grabs tray, throws hotdog on tray, and runs to grage where he throws hot dog, unplugs microwave, opens windows, and then comes in computer room to yell at me and tell me never to use the microwave again. and that is how i almost burned the house down with a hotdog. lol.

  222. o and guess what………i am now eating a hotdog cut up in shells and cheese. yum. hehe. my dad made it though, not me.

    but don’t worry i know how to use the microwave now.

  225. I’ve put a bag of popcorn in before
    and then pushed ‘potatoe’
    results were not pretty, or tasty for that matter

  227. Hehe… once I put metal in the microwave 🙁 I was so shaken because it burst into flame. I almost had a heart-attack

  228. *cough cough*
    they want me to play monopoly, but they want me to shut up while I play
    I DONT WANT TO PLAY!!

  229. I like cooking. Playing with recipes is a whacked hobby of mine. Sometimes the results are great. Sometimes…. (runs to hide!)

  232. My conversations go like that, so I’m not surprised
    It’s fun to coook, I just always forget that I have to remove the food from the oven…
    I used to cook all the time with Elli, we had really wierd recipes and candy salads XD, but the only appliance we ever used was a toaster.

  233. xD toasters?
    I (try) use the stove (on nessecary occasions) but I once did what Tally & Shay did.
    I burnt the oven mitt using the stove… and I never told anyone! xD

  234. It was so chilly in Florida this week that cold-blooded iguanas fell into a deep sleep — and out of their trees.
    Well, we were like 8. So yeah, toasters…..now I just stick to burning french fries in the oven and setting off the fire alarm with the microwave

  235. hi
    fuf fun fun
    toasters????
    i love the microwave more
    they are soooo cool
    i like to make my own new resipees (oops to lazy to fix)
    in the microwave
    like…
    one time i was in a mexican mood so i made salsa and queso (i have no clue how to spel that)
    they turned out great
    YUMMMMMMMMMM
    darn!
    now i want salsa and queso
    gtg by 😉

  237. I like to cook….sometimes…..sometimes….not….I’m pretty good,…when I actually try…

    I don’t like hot dogs (but it might just be because I’m a vegetarian…)

    Oh, but by the way about the whole burning the house down, my twin almost burnt the house down when were like hmmm…let me think….6, or 7, or maybe 9? But it was in Hawaii and my parents had left and my older sister was babysitting us, and we were supposed to be sleeping, but I had smelled smoke and I had gone to investigate (after telling my sister, she went with me, of course) and we found ben (which is my twins name) with a whole bunch of matches he had lit his coconut canoe on fire!!! but ya the coconut was like in half and shaped like a canoe it was crazy!!! But thats not the only time, he is such a piro, come to think about it I am too….hehe….but I don’t try to burn the house down, just during camping trips….hehe!

  240. Meat freaks you out??!! It doesn’t really freak me out its just all the poor animals and everything…hehe….My Best Friend even got me a shirt with 3 bunnies on it and it says “Vegetarians have more fun” for Christmas…hehe…..I’ve been a vegetarian for only 2 years though so, ya, it’s not that long.

  241. Oh, and not ever eating a hot dog doesn’t mean your wierd, my sister has never ate one either becuase it’s made out of rats intestines (is that how you spell it, I meant like organs and stuff)….uckk!

  243. I’ve always considered being a vegitarian… but somehow I figure I”ll just quit, so I won’t try 😮

  244. hehe. hotdogs are ishish…there definately not the best food in the world…but i tolerate them. i cood really care less what something actally IS. well, i mean…like, ya no oberto boys coctail peps? there like…peperoni sticks basically. and the main ingredient is pork hearts. i personally think pig hearts sounds better, but thats whats on the bag.

    but…like, i wont eat elk and dear and…wild animals basically. i think it is very very rude to disturb there personal life. hehe. but i really dont care about pigs and chickens and cows and such. i mean, its not like tehre going extinct anytime soon. ya gotta admit it. there are more chickens living on earth than there are humans.

    plus i just love meat. i mean, i wood DIE without steak and peperoni and salomi and duck and bacon and…..now im hungry. plus, im already unhealthily skinny. if i gave up meat i wood probably ACTALLY die.

    woah. lots of vegietarian talk. well, non-vegietarian talk.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😕

  246. haha lotti-wa i agree.
    im a pretty good cook…i basically live on ramen noodles which i make on the stove. but one time me and my friend were having a sleepover and we wanted popcorn so i put the bag in the microwave and hit “popcorn” button i came back wen it was done and like it hadnt done anything for some reason only a couple things had popped and it was barley inflated so i hit the popcorn button again…this time….over cooked truned black and smelled soooooooo bad my brother and his friend came home and he was like rosie wat did u do!! and his friend immediatly said”did u burn popcorn” and i was like uhhh maybe then my parents got all angry cause it smelled sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad so the moral of the story is only hit the popcorn button ONCE

  250. I’m like a semi-vegitarian cuz I don’t like meat (‘cept for bacon), but I was a full vegitarian for like 5 months and my grandpa didn’t know, but once he did I was forced to eat meat at dinner…

  252. wow hotdogs are made out of rat intestines??? 🙁 now im sad. gosh…i can’t eat those anymore. i love sasuage….please don’t ruin it for me…please!! otherwise i could live without meat.

    one time i had a party at a hotel and we went downstairs to the resturant/bar..(b/c that was where they kept the microwave.) and we had like 3 bags of popcorn and the guy didn’t want to pop them all seperatly so my friend told him just to stick all of them in the microwave for 10 mins…..she was kidding. but he didn’t know that. so he puts them in then comes back and says he will come back in 10 mins. when the popcorn is done. we were all freaking out b/c we thought we would burn the hotel down and stuff but luckily it just got very very burnt….no fires. lol. i’ve had lots of interesting times with microwaves.

  254. yeah he needs 2 post again. i wish that people would post as much as me sumtimes. to see my latest post click my name. ohohoh i gots my extras fic up!!!!!WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    luv ya toots
    ;-9 hehe hes a winkin lickin nose smiley!!!!!!

  256. i luv hot dogs and dont particuraly care wat they’re made uv(doubt they use rat cuz then the health dept. would get rid of them pig or cow intestines definately) i m also an avid meat lover. meat mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. u couldnt een have chicken soup w/o meat!!!!!! meat mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. i do luv meat. i don’t eat wild animals either unless im tricked. >:( i was tricked into eatin fish once. i dont like fish itz icky. i wuz told that they were chicken nuggets. >.< grr.

    luv ya toots :-9

  258. it would be cool….hopefully not like the british ones (I saw it on amazon.com) those are creepy….

  261. Serafina Zane, is your hair really purple?(I wouldn’t die my hair certain colors for various reasons though such as, both my parents would die of a heart attack, and then come back to life to ground me forever. I am the good one though unlike my wrotten little brother. I never get grounded.)Okay, I’m soooooooooooooooooo tired! I stayed up ALL night reading New Moon. For some phsychotic reason I couldn’t put the book down. It’s like dejavu of what happens when I read Scott’s books. (I still like Edward a gazillion times more than Jacob.) Yeah, that’s right a GAZILLION! I had to make up a new number for it.I have been wondering this for a long time, but was too afraid to ask because I thought I’d sound stupid. Well, I already sound stupid so here’s my question: On the cover of Pretties, who is standing next to Tally?, you know the really hot guy.(At first I thought it was Zane, but doesn’t he have black hair?) *Sigh* mystupidity seems to never end.
    See ya !

  262. Oh I know how we started talking about vegitarions! I told my pathetic story of how I set my kitchen on fire the other day and then someone(I forget who, and am too lazy to read it again) told a story about how they like blew up their microwave with a hot dog and then someone(I also forget who) commented on how they don’t like hot dogs but said it’s probably just cause their a vegitarian. And then BAM! And that’s how it all started.(I am so proud of my self for starting this fabulously random conversation)
    HaHaHa!
    See ya!

  263. i think it’s supposed to be Zane but cover designers are just full of lameness.
    also, it’s Shay on the cover with InaccurateHotGuy, not Tally, as far as i know.

    well, my hair isn’t purple right *now*. it’s a wierd blond/brown/black that matches perfectly the traditional Fender sunburst on vintage Strats. which is probably not the best of metaphors for the rest of you.
    however. i have more purple dye. and i will be dying it tonight.
    so it will then be easier to explain. this is the pinkish-purple dye. it will be fun.

    *shakes head* Jacob….

  264. Wel I forgive inacurate hot guy for not having black hair, but why is Shay on the cover with Zane instead of Tally?*so confused*

  268. Yeah, thats very confusing…. The girl on the cover is not Tally and the guy on the the cover is not Zane?! Confusing…. :O

  274. See, i don’t picture the main character as the people on the cover, so it doesn’t really matter to me. I can’t visually see characters either, i just KNOW them. Tally to me has always looked the same throught the books, even though i know she goes through the surgeries.
    Although, the only character i could actually picture was david, no matter how much i didn’t like him.

  275. AHHH, i havent been on in hours. I missed me westerfeldian friends. o well, me back. i went to spend the night at a friends. It was fun. I must now check the only email i only have. sad.

  277. I’m procrastinating science homework… hehe… I managed to do at least a 1/8 🙂

  280. Type in manga on the search bar and go to the topic “Best Week Ever.” The drawings are so fool!

  285. Ew. School. Ew. Clothes. Ew. Monday. Ew. work. Ew. Homework. Ew. Teachers. Ew. No reading time. Ew. No free time. Ew. No snack.

    Ew. I need a shower.

  287. Hey……………..
    I just posted a part of my current story on my blog…………………
    I am hoping that someday it will be a book but idk…………………
    U Should Check it OUT……………….
    It does NOT contain any other books ideas or charicters…………..
    It was all my ideas……………..

    Thanx

    SoPhIe-La
    WoRd 😉

  290. scool bites. so far we havent gotten to do ANY narrative riting. just a bunch of stories about prescool (how are we supposed to remember anything from that?) and a bunch of essays on a christmas carol. UUUHHHGGG!!! scrooge is so boring!

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 🙁

  291. THanx, i have lots more to put on my blog…………
    i saw ur blog, pretty fool…………….

    Check OUt my blog…………….

    he hehe

    SoPhIe-La
    WoRD 😉

  292. I know!!!!!!!!! the only fool story we have written so far is ‘find a funny story about ur parents when they were kids’ and i got like a 70 on that because of Grammer!!!!!!!!! And i am like always writing in my ELA class andd my teacher is like ‘What r u doing?” and i am like “Writing a short story.” and she picks it up and reads it then says “why don’t u write like this when we have an essay?” and i am screaming in my head ‘BECAUSE U DON’T GIVE ME ANYTHING GOOD TO WRITE ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!’ or ‘BECAUSE U DON’T LIKE UR STUDENTS BEING A BETTER WRITER THAT U, SO U DON’T LETS US USE OR CREATIVTY!!!!!!!!!!’ or my ever favorite ‘BECAUSE I DON’T LIKE U!!!!!!’ but io nevver say any of that i just shrug. and so like once every week she stops at my desk and is like “Writing anything new?” And then i say yess and she is like “Can’t i see it” and then i give it to her and she always says something like “i wish u wrote like this on ur essays. u would be my first student who could show this much potential. ah well”

    and i am always like ‘give me a good topic and i wil write like this but not untill then’

    that was like so long………..

    he he he

    SoPhIe-La
    WoRd 😉

  296. Argh! My mom thinks the summary I wrote for Midnighters isn’t good enough and I think its fine! Lousy book reports….

  297. My teachers are boring. There like “Ok, lets work! Lets do a fun math crosswrod puzzle, yeah! O and we can play ‘do you kinow you equations’!!!!” O yeah, totally cool. not. Treat us like little kids.

  298. i wish i could write really well
    i can think of things amzingly in my brain but then for some reason it just doesnt come out on paper =[ i know that doesnt really make sense but thats what happens. oh well

  299. i just got done painting my hangout room…it’s very fawesome…tropical blue.

    ughhh….i have science homework…which i really don’t want to do. and social studies homework…bleh. and i’m suppose to practice my saxophone cuz we have finals next week…ehhh finals. yuck. my school is stupid they send us off on christmas break and then expect us to remember what we learned before break. not very smart. finals all week. & it’s 9:30. stupid mondays! grrrrrrr.

  306. there should really be a fourth, maybe even fifth or sixth Midnighters!!! i think it’s needed. I’d love to know how things work out between Jonathan and Jessica, how Jonathan and Melissa get along together for so long, how them findind other midnighters works out, if and how Rex and Melissa can stay apart, if things go according to Dess’ plan, and if the darklings make a come back. So much more too!

  309. I feel good because my friend didn’t want to read the books when me and me other friends were even though I told her how good they were, anyways, this year I MADE her read them and she LOVED them – it is like, Told you so- and then she read the peeps books and soon going to read Midnighters.

    And then my other friend that read the books right after I did thought they were Great, but aparently not great enough, she seems more interested in reading other books. The only reason she is GOING – sometime – to read Scott’s other books is because I am pestering her to. – I still can’t believe that she just stopped in the middle of the first Midnighter book !

    Oh…. and then I wore my “Special Circumstances” Shirt to school today, and my friend that I recently got into reading his books asked where I got it and all I said was, “You would know if you would EVER go on Scott’s site” – She just rolled her eyes.
    (Twilight lover- ugg )

  310. yes. the comments have slowed to a simmer. now its like when you take sompthing off the heat and its all foamy an what not. ya no. instead of like where your making oatmeal and walk away from it for two minutes and come back and its overflowing onto the floor. then you have to take half an hour to clean under the stove an backtrack an all.

    wow. that was an amazingly accurate reference. hehe.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😀

  311. xD nice discription of the comments Lizzy-wa. My mom does that with oatmeal, except it explodes in the microwave 🙂

  312. Finally! AH! i have been doing homework for a while and its finally done. Lets see, started at 4:30 and its just now 7:02. wow, i cant type today.

    Ew. Oatmeal is nasty. Well, its ok, ill eat it, but i choose not to.

    Urg. I need a nice warm bath. Stupid stressful homework O ya, i hate baths too. o well.

    i better check my mail before the annoying blinking sign makes me loose the rest of my insanity.

    Notice i said THE REST!

  313. i personally don’t care what series, i just need another book to occupy my time on.
    haha, and my english teacher overheard me saying what i say about every single day of my life
    “Scott westerfeld is a genius.”
    and shes like “yep, i agree.”
    and i walked away, and im thinking
    “did that just serouisly happen?”

  317. strong love for math eh?
    i prefer english.
    Yeah, i hate being sick, it basically…sucks.
    i LOVE school, so i guess im just weird like that?
    i’m an individual i guess.

  318. Its ok to love school. I love going to school to social but thats its. But i pay attention because i want good grades and to e an author when im older.

  319. I also have a math test Thursday
    I really like english and science too, they’re fun, but my science teacher told us that science isn’t supposed to be fun….that’s just too bad for her

  320. I really like history when I have a good teacher
    mine just makes me fall asleep
    I like to socialize too, Bran-la, as you can tell from my posts

  321. I am going to take a second to scream to myself! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
    I had to go back to school today and it was aweful!So aweful that I decided that I wasn’t there and that I was either having an extremely detailed nightmare or having an extremely long and horrifying hallucination. School in general, I have no problem with, I actually like my language arts class and we have some pretty cool writing assignments(which I always get A’s on.Not trying to gloat,but it’s true.)And all my teachers are nice.That is except my Spanish 2 teacher. I had an A+ in her class until she started losing my assignments and now my grade is a C- and it’s not even my fault.
    __________Careful possible spoilers for Eclipse ___________________________________________
    On a brighter note I finished Eclipse!I LOVED it!
    It is sooooooooooooo much better that Bella chose to marry Edward instead of choosing Jacob.Edward rocks!
    Here are some of the best things about Edward:he is
    kind
    funny
    sensative
    loving
    caring
    smart
    fabulous
    HOT
    amazing
    awesome
    generous
    selfless
    PERFECT!!! I don’t think I have to continue.You get my point right?
    I don’t think anyone could disagree with that kind of awesomeness.
    Plus to me Jacob is self centered and egostatistic and doesn’t have enough self control to back off when Bella says no.He’s arrogant and selfish and rude.Sorry Jacob fans, but that’s my point of veiw.
    ____________________________________________________
    Oh my gosh! I am really freaked out.This is going to sound really extremely wierd.Okay,Twilight fans, you know how when James bit Bella it left a scar on her palm?Well when I was reading Eclipse last night, for some reason I looked at my hand and on it there’s this cresent shaped scar. I knew about it a long time ago, but couldn’t figure out how I got it.(I get hurt all the time so I didn’t think about it really)I didn’t realize until then that it is also in the same exact place as Bella and it matches the description in the books.Cool huh?
    Kind of scary though if you ask me.(I am so not making this up)
    ____________________________________________________
    I have nothing to read so if you have any suggestions for any good books that would be awesome!Thanks!
    See Ya!

  323. i go back tomarrow. he he he

    u guys should read Ellen Hopkins book’s or I’d tell u i love u but then i’d have to kill u.

    So bored

    SoPhIe-La
    WoRd 😉

  328. You have to be kidding me Lotti-wa! I can not believe that you get that much time off,you are so lucky.It’s not that I hate school it’s that I am physically much too lazy to want to get up in the morning. My little brother was complaining that he had to go to school today,but he’s been off since before ThanksGiving.

  330. I went back to school last Wednesday!!! February??!! Before Thanksgiving??!!

    On other notes I finished my project last night (In the process I super-glued two of my fingers together hehe, total ouch-making trying to get them unstuck though) But mine is sooo much better then my brothers, ahhhh sibling rivalry, or is it twin rivalry (randomness though: It would be sooo cool if Ben and I had twin telepathy! But I guess I will just have to like how we had our own language when we were babies hehe) It’s not like his is BAD it’s just that well MINE IS SOOO MUCH BETTER hehe But his is Good too!

    hehe, mines still better!

  335. i have so much homework. trying to finish it now in the ten minutes before the bus gets here. shoot. i still have to eat breakfast. i think i’ll eat some of that leftover pie…

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 8)

  337. Ugh..I didn’t go to school today either….still sick…I passed out this morning…I like got all dizzy, which happens alot, and everything went black, which also happens alot (normally around 2:00 though, it was only like 7 am) and then I passed out, which has like never happened to me, I’ve ALMOST passed out before, like almost every time I get my blood drawn, but never after my vision goes all black…

    sorry for the confoozlingness….

  338. I’m confoozled…
    If Tally was taller than pretty standards in Uglies, but she was shorter than David that means David was taller than pretty stndards also. But Tally was taller than David in Pretties, so she was even taller than pretty standards. And Zane was taller than Tally, so was Zane like a freakishly tall person?

  339. Yes, very confoozling and sense-missing, Netta-la!

    Netta-la, last year I got sick 2 days before we went back to school from Winter Break and I was sick for 3 weeks! I was sick for 3 weeks more but I went to school after the first 3 weeks, very uck-making! I almost passed out to, though, but I didn’t!

  341. hmmmm….thats….utterly boring and sense-missing homework, Bran-la! Why can’t they make some fun HW, or better yet no homework at all!

  342. hey if there a Shela(sp) that post on this blog
    or a person that wore their “I’m an EXTRA” t-shirt yesterday and their dess shirt today for scifair
    or goes to stinky Teague
    (if there is that would be amazing)

  343. i have to read stinky Gathering Blue why cant they ever make us read good books
    i mean most people have ready it and my teacher talks about it wrong

  344. oooo guess what peoples….i told my fawesome english teacher about Uglies today and she totally wants to read them. so i’m letting her borrow my books over our little break-(hehe. we get out at 11 on Thursday, and don’t have school Friday or Monday!!! 🙂 It’s the only upside to testing week.)-and when we come back we get all new classes different lunch periods and what not. it’s somewhat sad-making though cuz i really don’t want to get out of my english class, we like laugh for an hour and a half in that class. other classes i can’t wait to get out of though. well anyways i have to start my homework….bleh. then jazz..(dance.)

  345. hehe, thats funny Kay-wa.

    Both my Advanced English, and my Advanced U.S. History teacher have read the Uglies trilogy except for Extras, and yesterday My History teacher, Mr. Fox, he’s the coolest teacher ever, TRIED TO STEEL MY BOOK!!! hehe, of course he was just kidding, but since I’m rereading it for like the 5,000,000 time (thats why it was at school) I’ll probably let him borrow it, hehe. He did it today too, so I think he wants to borrow it anyways!

  346. huh. my english teacher is an @$$hole. it’s just true. he reads no good books.
    also, he hates me.
    possibly because i’m really obnoxious in that class.
    because he’s a pretentious poseur.
    he totally singles me out though….maybe because i was like *five* minutes late today, totally before the cut bell, and he’s all, “glad you showed up, [Sera-la’s classified real name].” and i’m all *sneer* i’m barely late. and i have a nintey-five in this class. quit whining. i show up every day you bloody hypocrates!
    ummm….yeah. i may have actually used the phrase “bloody hypocrates”. out loud. yeah.
    then he’s like, okay, introspective is the word of the day. he defines it. i ignore him. i do not write it down (haven’t done that for months. his words are easy. yo i just noticed introspective is a tridecalogism. hardcore!
    [in fact, yesterday he’s like, take a newspaper and read it. i do not get a newspaper because there aren’t enough and i lacked the initiative to go get one when i first got there. so i sit and drum on my totally empty desk with both hands, covered in silver rings. it’s quite loud. i am not aknowledged. that is how much nothing i do in that class.]
    so anyway this morning he’s all, [Sera-la] use the word of the day in a sentance. in the next fifteen seconds.
    and i’m like *mentally* f*** u, moron. i refuse to give effort.
    [just like i hate writing 10 paragraph essays for people who tell me to “Site Three Examples”.]
    and then i use the word in perfect context in a great example.

    i kick pretentious english teacher @$$ with my ability to be smart and also not give a crap.
    hmm…i have a feeling this comment is rather long.

  348. wow….if it makes you feel better my LA teacher hates me too,

    we write dumb persuasive essays (for some reason I get lower scores in LA than in other classes I write essays for) and now she’s making us use “smiley face tips” which are these dumb tips that this dumb lady found in books concidered “good”

    1. How does this make our essay scores any better?

    2. What do things from a book have to do with writing an essay?

    And she treats us all like we’re idiots (granted a lot of the kids in my class are but still…) But I digress….

    BTW I have Blue Noon in the new cover *squeal* lol though it was the only one in the new cover format (Touching Darkness and The Secret Hour were in the old paper backs)

  349. yeah i think my english teacher hates me too
    this girl and i have to do this thing for class and she and i each wrote one for it
    one day we asked her witch one we should should chose
    she like well their both good you’ll have to flip a coin
    then the next day she steels our papers and choses the other girls
    its like
    wtf

  350. humph. my science teacher hates me. don no why. she liked me last year. but its probly cause last year i was all quiet and perfect and hardworking in math. and now im all loud and non-shoe-wearing and pulling off an A-. well, i was last quarter, now im over 100 again. but its just cause i did some of their math stuff and got extra credit for it in science. yeah.

    but seriously. she hates me so much! i walked passed her the other day and it was like, DAGGERS!!! and then my friend is walking behind me, and when i pass the teacher, she’s all like smiley and perky and not dagger-ish anymore and shes like “hi Kailey!” and im all like “EVIL PERSON!!!!’ yeah. hehe.

    i have an hour to finish a essay, a makeup test, a stupid map of mexicano, and yet another story of when i was in grade scool. i seriously dont remember that stuff! none of it is true. im making up everything in all of those lame stories to make my life sound exciting. then i have to go to dance for 4 and a haf hours. *sigh*.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  351. well, actually, i take pride in making him hate me. it makes him more aware i hate him. i hate english teachers who try to act like you must like them when you hate them.

    writing essays just sucks, btw.
    here is the funtime story of my english Great Expectations essay. first, it was a thousand words shorter than the minimum limit. second, i inflated the word count with song lyrics/saying i like pork/narrating movies i was watching.
    third, i got a 97. highest grade in the class.

    our class is pretty divided. one side, softball-playing aberclones who ask lots of questions and don’t get stuff. this is an honors class, just so u know.
    on the other side, my friend, codename SMARTNINJA. other side, annoying guy i am somehow quasi-friends with despite his insufferableness, mainly to the fault of other friends (SMARTNINJA….). he is easier known as WANNA-WRITE BUT FAIL TO ADMIT MY REAL CALLING IS HARRY POTTER SLASH. long, but unnerringly accurate. then there’s UPSKID, who wants to know if your second cousin is incest, and gives great debates on who would win in a fight (Frankestein’s monster vs. a zombie, werewolf vs vampire, 10 vampires vs army of zombies).
    oh, and SIMBA. but he don’t fit in too well. also, GRACE, who’s another sort of friend of mine.

    sometimes i feel like the outcast side of the room.
    and that’s how i like it.

  353. hehe. nice…but i thought you said you were vegietarian?…………..

    our class is pretty…messed up.
    we’ve got a werewolf, a couple secret agents, 4 or 5 kids from other planets, 3 from other dementions, a superhero, a supervillan, a porcupine, a sponge fanatic, a stalker, a mob boss, a pro sky diver, a pro singer that sings really really bad, some kinda monster thing, a dentist, a MAD scientist, and this kid who has fake hair.

    dont ask.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😀

  355. Well, here i go through more guy trouble. Uh, my math class hottie, sit next to me, total cutie, smile and all, and funniest thing eva’. but he is so not really bf ‘material’ as my friends say. Urg, life can really suck.

    Ok, i really need to finsh So Yesterday.

    To. Much. to. do. In. One. Day.

  356. My social studies teacher hates me
    I think it’s because it’s an advanced class and I’m asleep (well, half-asleep) through the whole thing, every day, and I take notes in a half-concious scribble then I go home and perfect them into my most current favorite form of font on my computer (she always says stuff like ‘I guess your notes look ok’)….yet I have a 101%, the highest grade in the class

  357. I know this is randomly out of the blue, (get it blue time, okay back to the point) but i was reading the series again of the holiday break and i just realized how much bixby high is exactly like my school. 0.o and the fact they all wear black and sit at the corner table at lunch is like the table of goths in the corner where I sit by. Yeah It was fun reading over again and noticing similarities in my every day life. Let’s just say it was Fawesome.

    : ] the end.

  358. hehe. relationizing books to scool is fun. unless the book sucked. which it didnt of course.

    i just dont get why teachers have to hate the smart kids. im gonna go with the theory that the teachers are mad because we are smarter than them. yep. thats probably it.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 8)

  359. i am pretty much a vegitarian, the “i like pork” thing is an old joke.

    lol, that soundsd awesome Lizzy-wa.

    and Bran-la, i ttly sympathize. kid i sit next to in geometry class is also completely hot but never gonna happen/never would work out or want it too. plus, many other conditions. lists them, they become confidential, b/c i know of at least one real-life friend who sometimes finds this.

    wow, wish i had a 101% adverage. i’ve got like an A or a B in World History, i think, and everyone else is failing though, so wahatever.

  361. dude, there’s a table of ppl who ttly remind me of midnighters. i know a couple of the people there, but there is….
    a tall guy with long hair (sort of ponytail) and glasses, who totally owns Rex Greene.
    and a girl who just has a wierdly Melissaish vibe.
    and a guy who looks nothing like any of the characters, but is named Jonathan, and i happen to know that his girlfriend who goes to another school is named Melissa.
    freakaay.

    then, as far as wierd Midnightersnessishness in my school…there’s me *smiles at rings Electrocution and Zombiefication and knowledge i own both a Bixby High School sweatshirt and U R So 11:59 shirt, and also i was Melissa for Halloween.*

  362. Wow, see, in my school, its kind of like a rule where you cant EXPRESS (i dont no how to get italics) yourself. No one in my school is goth, emo or Midnighterish. We have total freak skater people and really obsessed jocks but thats all, o and cant forget the soccer players. There the top of the ‘pyramid’. Me, well im the friend of the people of the top of the ‘pyramid’. So i get the pleasure of sitting with the ‘top chaters’. There boring.

    I was at school and i was saying to my friend ‘im writing a book called Love Stalks’ and she gave me this weird face and smiled and i was like ‘what’ and she said ‘your writing about about how you love socks?’ and it i was like ‘uh, no Adi, Stalks, not socks.’

    Crap, i left my candle burner on!

  363. just b/c lizzy-wa and serafina were doing this awhile back, i figured i’d try it b/c it looked fun.

    i’ll diagram my adv. science class for you, b/c that’s probly the most interesting one:

    X: well, what does it sound like? all aside, is barely scraping by w/ the 85 you need to stay in the class. horrible organizational habits, binder bursting w/ papers. addictingly wavy hair. asks irrelevant questions, as many in the class do.

    O! M! G!: abercrombie everysinglesecondoftheday. like i bet she must have some pajamas too. will count calories and say “i ate too much!” b/c everytime she does, she gets attention when everyone says “oh, you are so skinny! you don’t need to do that!” JUST LIKE SHE WANTS THEM TO . at a tie with tanning bed over ADHD-ness. randomly bursts out like COMPLETELY MORONIC THINGS (and i quote, “elephants are big?”). used to show her intelligence, now diguises it w/ what i just mentioned. never had a boyfriend. flirts with anything that moves. yeah, i mean girls too. friends with FIT. insults everyone–even her friends–by covering it up with a “just kidding!”

    Joe: one of my friends, is a girl, loves jonas brothers (especially joe). very into sports, plays soccer, bastketball, and softball. extremely tall (5’10”). hangs out w/ O! M! G! in some classes (including this one). slacks off during labs from being around O! M! G!, which saddens me greatly. despite this, doesn’t mask intelligence, at which i heave a great sigh.

    NICK JONAS’ FUTURE WIFE: well i just wrote that on her birthday card, so i figured i’d add it in. one of my friends. got everyone in my closest group of friend jonas brothers bracelets for xmas (includes herself, Joe, me, and Owl & Ditcher, who are both not in this class). HATES that Joe and O! M! G! talk. ignores them when they just sit there during lab, does it all herself (we have groups of 2 or 3). very focused, highest average in entire 9th grade. Very polite, originally from boston and is a diehard red sox fan.

    Eggo: had a cat named waffles, which she loved, but it got run over by a car. was devestated, especially since she sent me pictures of him weekly. one of my friends. knows how to bootleg movies. has a bunch of fake purses, but doesn’t use them. LOVES aeropostale. my lab partner, very good at actually performing the lab itself, but isn’t very good at writing the reports. always emails me for last minute help. great at tech, taking CAD (computer-aided design) to be an architect.

    BALLIN’: says the word way too much, can be an idiot, acts/calls himself a redneck when he’s from NY, does way to many sports and lies about his guitar hero scores.

    ok person: well, yeah. she’s just that. O. K. but that’s it. like i can’t even think of anything else to describe her. oh wait–is going out w/ BALLIN’ which for the life of me i cannot comprehend.

    FIT-the college acronym, not the word. you know, Fashion Institue of Technology. wears nothing but abercrombie, except for when she was going out w/ some druggie at which point she shopped at pac sun for awhile. has had way too many boyfriends, lost “it” at age 13 to a guy she met at the beach that day (it was summer). overall, nice to talk to, but has some MAJOR issues. and, hence the name, wants to be an “ultra-famous” (her word, not mine) fashion designer when she gets older.

    tanning bed: probably just came out of one. has ADHD. like way worse than anyone i’ve ever met (including me). winked at our teacher during lab period today, she just gave him a confuzzled look. asks irrelevant questions. voice cracks a lot. likes a girl who likes him in return, aren’t going out. close friends with BALLIN’.

    well, that’s it. i didn’t bother describing myself.
    btw, BALLIN’, ok person and (sometimes) FIT sit together; tanning bed, X, and (sometimes) FIT sit together; Joe, NICK JONAS’ FUTURE WIFE, and (previously) O! M! G! sit together; and finally Eggo, me, and (currently *grumbles*) O! M! G! sit together.

    yeah O! M! G! used to sit at the other table, but she talked too much so she got movied…to MY TABLE, of course, b/c i have that kind of luck. but our science teacher forgets things sometimes, so she tries to sit at her original table every so often–and gets away with it.

  364. as long as people are talking about evil teachers my spanish teacher HATES me 4 no reson. ok so she is the b-ball coach for 7th grade and this summer i went to camp and she treated me like crapola. and then this year i get her 4 spanish and i am like NOOO. i nevver listen and i have a 99% and she hates that. i always sleep in her class to show how bored i am and she always gives me this really freaky look. *shivers*. but i make it clear i don’t like her. like when she is wrong (i am not even mexican so) i always correct her and she is always like “thank u SoPhIe-La.” and then corrects her self and she says that in like this tone of hate. and of course i just smile at her like “ha ha ha. i am a 7th grade who knows more that u! ha ha ha!” but ya…

    So….

    SoPhIe-La
    WoRd 😉

  365. whoa, like WHOA. um, sorry about the monster comment. it didn’t look that long…and as NICK JONAS’ FUTURE WIFE says about my extensive emails, “they’re informative!”

  366. that ttly sucks. i mean, my school is a complete PreppyHell, but there’s definitly a window to express yourself.
    or maybe there isn’t, and i just ignore it.
    or maybe it isn’t such a big deal when you’re at the bottom of that exclusive little fascist pyramid. i mean, i don’t quite rate freak status, but i’m friends with a lot of the people who are called that. and i don’t care. because fake people suck.
    i often tell them that.
    hmmm…the theory i am just ignoring the social hierarchy is becoming stronger……
    seriously, i get bored with brown, i dye my hair purple. i like the color black. that’s what i do. i don’t think it’s majorly expressing myself or some creative statement. i just got bored. i’m not trying to stand out, or thinking this makes me stand out. it’s just who i feel like being.
    our school’s got some kinda goth people. no one with hot emo hair though *sad* two guys had great emo haircuts last year, but they both cut them.
    LOSERS CUT THIER HAIR.
    seriously guys, it almost always looks better long. as a rule.

  367. My spanish teacher cant speak English, shes goes ‘Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Book’ and thats all i can understand.

    that was a funny comment Taylor, but i had no clue what it was about, but funny.

    Urg, my computer is going slow.

  368. haha thanks bran-la, it was just my ranting characterizations of the people in my adv. science class. there’s 10 people, including me. like, that’s kinda pathetic. DIDN’T MORE PEOPLE PASS THE TEST???

  370. I dont like guys with shoulder lengh hair but i like it when it at least comes to the bottom of there ears, i say i like it ‘shagggy’.
    I took this one pic i talked about one time and i showed it to her and her respnce was, “Dont turn emo, i wont hang out with you.” and i said, “I’m not gonna be emo, i just like the hair style.” i have to admitt, my hair is freakin awesome. I mean its no purple, its natural color but i love my hair style. I hate short though.

  374. Hmmmmmmmmm.I am much confoozled.Warning Tally & Zane-la liable to go all Stephanie Meyer/ Twilight fan in this message.(Note to self,stop typing in third person)Okay, does anyone know anything about Stephanie Meyer’s next book.?I know that she is re-writing Twilight in Edward’s point of view, but does anyone know if she’s working on another book in the series? Like I said very confoozled.Thanks so much.
    By the way, Team EDWARD/ZANE/JONATHON!
    See Ya!

  375. For tally & zane. yah i love Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse!
    They Rock! Stephenie is writing the 4th book Breaking Dawn right now and it is coming out in September 2008. She is writting the books from edwards point of view after Breaking Dawn is finished. i can’t wait.

    PEACE WE OUT 😈

  380. my science class is never boring. like whether it’s hoping that my teacher won’t notice where OMG is sitting (so that she won’t move her back w/ me & eggo), wondering what the heck ok person is thinking when she randomly just stares at ballin for like 5 minutes w/ this weird look on her face, or laughing so hard we’re practically crying about a random but HILARIOUS thing tanning bed said about his weekend, there’s never a dull moment.

    except for the part when we actually have to do WORK.

    yes, i’m gonna use those names from now on so it might be best to try and remember who’s who. but i don’t think i have the patience to read my own comment so i shouldn’t talk.

  384. wow scool sucks.

    ok. so, ya no how i have a wierd scedule cause of my eigth grade mathness and orchestraing? well, orchestra is at the same time as language. well, the last half of language. so, what im SUPPOSED to do is skip the last half of language and go to orchestra. but sometimes i dont. just cause i dont feel like it.

    and then later in the day, im supposed to just go TA in the office. its not a period and its not even on my official “scedule”. but its just a fill in cause i dont have an actual class for that half an hour. of course, its with HIM. so naturally i avoid it at all costs. so for the last…month or so, ive been skipping TAing. and i just hang out in the sevey math class reading or doing homework or whatever.

    so. yesterday i skipped orchestra. and my teacher got all on my case. so i just told her that we had a test in the last haf hour of class so i had to skip it. and she was all “ok”. and then later the ladies in the office ask why i was marked absent. i tell them the same thing. then they ask why im not coming to TA anymore. and i make up some stupid excuse that nobody shood buy. but they did. so now all of the teachers are suspicious of me and its annoying.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 🙁

  385. I hate it because I wanted to be in orchestra AND choir this year but they were the same period !!! — They would never do that to the band people. —

    I remember in middle school Orchestra was so Forgotten. Everybody knew there was a band, but when it comes to Orchestra — they had to clue.

    Atleast I didn’t have a final for orchestra today ( I got to sleep in intstead ) — Yes.

  386. I’m sick(again)so I can’t go to school, but we are doing different kinds of poetry and right now we’re writing sonnets,you know those really mushy poems.Well I was bored so I decided to write another one,but this one is about Edward and Bella.(it’s probably really lame though)

    Edward and Bella

    In a confusing sort of way
    When you’re here, night becomes day and day becomes night
    Your love is strong within my sight
    I love you so,is what you say
    The lightest touch,like the gentle breeze of May
    We laugh and joke,but when I’m scared you hold me tight
    And your gentle words are, Nothing to be afraid of,love, you’ll be all right
    When I rest my head and close my eyes,I think of only you as I lay
    You’re here till the end
    Whenever it may be
    You hold me close and whisper only the truth,Take care of my heart,for to only you I will lend
    I know you will never leave me again,so my heart is whole,it’s at amends
    You are my heart,my soul,my mind,my life,you’re all that matters to me.
    _____________________________________________________
    Okay, I know total yuck fest.I didn’t even know I had it in me to be so mushy.I surprised myself. Tell me what you think though. I might write one about Tally and Zane or Jess and Jonathon.I don’t know.Tell me if I should.Bye.
    See ya!

  387. Lucky duck that you’re sick! i have soooooooo much homework i HATE it. On the holidays i worked for 9 days on projects! And next week i have 5 projects due! And this is only gr 8. 🙁
    Can’t wait to see what gr 9 is like.

  388. I am kinda glad that I didn’t have to go to school but know I have a ton of homework to make up, and I missed our only half day this month.I know what you mean I am so not wanting to go to 9th grade yet.

  389. ooo Tally & Zane that was full of fawesomeness..i haven’t even read the book and i thought it was great…anyways, yes definately write one about Tally and Zane. we had to write a sonnet for english too, not a mushy gushy love sonnet though….mine was about dance…it’s called The Recital…tell me what you think.

    Our make-up’s on and perfect is our hair,
    our costumes themed relating to the show.
    With beauty such that nothing can compare,
    we step on stage to show all that we know.

    We’ve practiced weekly to get to this place,
    chaines, coupes, and double-turns we’ve learned.
    Our gifted teacher we must not desgrace,
    our right to be on stage is what we’ve earned.

    The lights shine bright, the music starts to play.
    In rhythmic movement we dance our routine.
    So long we’ve waited to perfect this day.
    The crowd applauds, we are the best they’ve seen.

    And once again our work is at it’s end.
    Until next year when we take stage again.

    anyways what do u think??

  390. That’s really awesome! Thanks for thinking my poem is good too.
    I guess I’ll start writing one about Tally and Zane,but I don’t know when I’ll post it.Oh and you should read Twilight if you get the chance it’s really really good.
    See ya!

  391. thanks!! and your welcome. yeah i’m gonna read Twilight as soon as i finish like the ten books i got for x-mas. i can’t wait though, my friend is reading it and is very obsessed with it at the moment, so i bet i’ll love it too.
    bye.

  392. Hi! I’ve started reading The Secret Hour only yesterday and i’m already in the second half. It’s really a great story, thanks a lot! But i’m disappointed, I didn’t think of the new covers, and I should have waited, because now i’ve got the first one with the old cover, and i ordered the two others with the new ones:o( Well it’ll look bad in my library

  393. hey!! oh my gosh!! you totally need to go to the barns& nobles in oviedo, florida. the small-ish city outside orlando. i’m dead in love with the uglies series. it was the best!! i read all the books in like a week. haha!! guess i’m a fast reader… and now i’m starting the midnighters. you have me intrigued!!
    taty-la

  396. I haven’t read the Midnighters yet. I was planning on starting it right after I finished Uglies, complete with Extras, but then I saw these yummy new covers! So, I decided to wait a bit and get the series in the mod new format. Can I just say UGH! because Border’s only had the third one. All the rest were the old covers. So now I’m reading another series while I check back to Borders daily scoping for the other two. *le sigh*

    Oh, and when I was there last there was a table that said “great gifts for young adult readers”. I went to the aisle and picked up a couple of the Uglies boxed sets and put them on the table.

  398. lol thats very fool kdenae-la. i went to Border’s yesterday too and the only one they had was the 3rd one. but there was like this giant shelf with only Scott-la’s books on it so that made me happy.

    mmmmmmmm…clam chowder is good!!!!

  399. O.M.G. I can’t freaking belive it! One of my best friends looks just like Jess on the cover of the Secret Hour (the new one)

    and my ex friend looks sort of like the girl who was Melissa…..(as of Friday she’s my ex friend since she treats me like a side-kick 24/7-err 25/7?- and watched me cry on the buss and laughed)

    Does that make me Dess? I AM good at math but my friend who reminds me of Jess is in Algebra (in 7th grade, I might add) and I’m only in High math…..if I cut my hair short and dyed it black maybe……but I wouldn’t be able to look goth (collered shirt/dress pants dress code doesn’t work out with that)

    well yeah I’m about 400 pages away from reading Blue Noon! (reading another book first)

  401. I LOVE the Midnighters series. I really like the new covers too. I have read the 1st and 2nd books so far. I have the shirt that says: “The new smoke LIVES!” And it’s really soft. hahaha 🙂

  403. Hi! I’m currently reading Touching Darkness and I was questioning myself about something crucial. Maybe I just missed something in my reading, or maybe the answer will come later, but I was wondering how it’s possible that the midnight hour can only happens in Bixby without the rest of the world being frozen too.
    I mean, if time only freeze in Bixby and maybe other towns depending on their location, how can the rest of the world live normally, Bixby would be too many hours late compare to the rest. So what i’m asking is : Is the entire world frozen and only when you are in Bixby (if you’re born at midnight) then you can live this hour? So that if I was born at midnight and went to Bixby for the holiday, then I could live in the blue time when my parents are frozen in their bed in France? Or is the time frozen ONLY in Bixby?

  405. Virginie-la, the time ONLY freezes in Bixby. kind of. only people living in Bixby wood KNOW that time freezes. or at least thats what they think throughout the whole series. so yes. “the entire world is frozen and only when you are in Bixby (if you were born at midnight) then you can live in this hour”. except everybodys technically living. but only those specific people can MOVE and BREATH and SUCH during said hour.

    oh yeah. as for your second question, time freezes EVERYWHERE. the whole world. encluding Bixby. its just that for some reason just that little bubble of Bixby has the bluetime. for whatever reason. but if you step outside the bubble, Midnighter or not, time gets unfrozen…i think. or at least you think it does…

    ok. that made absolutely no sense. just ignore me.

    hehe. said. love that word.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😀
