Us on Cult-Pop

Posted on by scott

While we were at ConFusion, Justine and I sat down with Jim Hall of Cult Pop, a local Detroit cable show about “anything interesting.” (Usually, this means science fiction writers.)

For those of you who live in southeastern Michigan, you’ll find it airing on Comcast (channel 20).

Luckily for those you who don’t, Cult Pop is also available online. Click here to go to the Cult Pop site, then click on #13 to see us. (A lot of other cool people are on that list too.)

Notice that I cleverly wore a shirt that would strobe attractively, plus I was slumping:

Also, as many adult interviewers do, Jim asks us a lot of questions about what YA is. You guys might find our answers non-earth-shattering on that score. But it’s a half hour (!) of fun and excitement, with lots of news about my and Justine’s next books.*

Enjoy.

*Speaking of which, Leviathan is almost 25,000 words long!

  5. Oooh!! I can’t wait Scott-la!!!

    You have a very nice voice, and Justine has an amazing accent!!

    Soo Bubbleheaded me just figured out what YA is. *Blush* Heh

  6. I loved it. Sooo much. Scott, I paid special attention to what you said, and I noticed how whenever you say that teens will read anything, you mention books about sharks.

    Don’t know why, but it always cracks me up.

    Nine kinds of fawesome. It was amazing.

  7. Leviathon sounds so interesting! Are you ever oing to give us a sneak peak? **Pupppy-dog/begging eyes** (Imagine I’m a cute littlie if that makes me look more desperate!!)
    Haha

  8. Too tired to watch right now, for if I start to I won’t be able to stop till it’s over, resulting in me being even more of a mindless zombue at school tomorrow.

  9. Wow! 25,000 words! I can only write 1000 words a day if I have a LOT of free time (wait, what’s free time?), and only if I am really inspired to do something. Most of my time writing is spent editing and claiming that my writing is bad. Unfortunately, I never finish anything due to the never-ending editing process, so I really can’t claim my writing sucks, can I?

    My definition of what YA is: A book that can be read somewhat easily by teenagers (basically non-college level stuff), usually featuring a teenage protagonist or themes applicable to teenage life. When you lose the book and find it again as an adult, you enjoy it as much as you did when you were a teenager. 🙂

  10. I wish i could write that much..i always get a good idea for a story and then i start writing and get bored and my amazing story never gets fully on paper….

    )-:

  12. You and Justine were a pleasure to work with. You both looked as if you were professional interviewees (is that a word or a profession??). Thanks again for appearing.

    Regards,
    Jerry
    P.S. the shirt wasn’t that bad!

  13. OMG! That’s so cool!

    I can’t watch it now though… there aren’t speakers OR headphones on the school’s computers…

  18. also, i get sick pleasure from the fact that two of my work-in-progress stories are over 25,000 words.
    it’s all “look, even famous ppl start somewhere!”
    and makes me think i should actually go downstairs and write.

    and as far as “what is YA” i say “all those books i read, you know, the ones called YA”
    or i just kind of nod along to what all the people at Justine’s blog said.

    *uploading midnighters fanart*

  21. 1st. NUMBERS!!! YAY!!!
    Sorry, but I am joyful when I know how many (number, not just ‘alot’ or ‘a few’) words I have to type so I really like word count (and spell check, I have a slight bit more OCD than most people)
    2nd. I DIDN’T HAVE HOMEWORK!!!
    Seriously, this whole week has been very full of tests (JUST NOT HOMEWORK), but I don’t mind tests…you do those IN school…not when you have better things to do…
    3rd. I am a slow writer
    My story only has about 2000 words…
    4th. Ummm…I forgot…oh wait…OH! I have a stupid piano song to memorize and I don’t want to (and I have practice for an hour tonight)
    5th. I have science fair on Monday… 🙁
    (I started with the happy things)

  22. The book im writing is about…..i just did word check…..21,668 words long. Fawesome! Were on the same track Scott!

  24. Ah! Unlucky post number!!!

    Sounds cool my novel in the making is a total of about 400 words long 😀

    I know, that’s pathetic….

    Oh well, hurry and finish, I wanna read it!

  25. I’m so happy mine is long!!! I have been working on it for ever!!!

    On my computer, 22,064 (my current number, i no it went up! Thats cause the first time i guesstimated, or lied however u look at it!) is on 44 pages. Thats not a lot to me but still, its better than my last 20 page ‘story’.

  29. Can you guy believe Valentines day is coming up?!?!?! i don’t even have a freakin Valentine!!! Poor, poor us unfortunate singles.

  30. aww omg i tried clicking the pic of the video like a million times and then i was like*sigh* ok fine its just a pic
    now maybe ill actually go watch it

  34. Yeah, my novel is in the sad range of about 7500 words right now.
    I am a horrible procrastinator when it comes to…well, anything. So yeah, I kind of put it off for a while, but I’m back to writing it now! When I put it off, I was working on other writing techniques, testing out different genres. I got fabulous inspiration today at school! We were just getting into class and an idea hit me. Yeah, according to my bff I totally spaced out for like ten minutes at least, but she’s used to it. I’m so HAPPY! Except for the fact that I dislocated my finger today during P.E. when I was forced against my will to play football. It HURTS!(and no I did not cry, that’s the first question everyone asks)
    See Ya!

  35. sorry about your fingers and whats this insperation you speak of just curious(im not gonna steal it i can’t write to save my life=[)

  36. Oh, Scott. You make me laugh out loud. Your shirt looks fine and your slumping is no worse than mine and it makes you look…humble. Yeah, humble.

    Yaya for Leviathan! But I am currently preoccupied with trying to snag Evolution’s Darling. And making my presence known on (your?) facebook.

    Lurves,

    Alwyn

  37. Oh, um just some random parts to my story that I thought of while counting the ceiling tiles, trying to get through first period at school.
    It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s just that you probably wouldn’t understand that part unless you had read the rest already. Yeah, inspiration comes in weird ways for me, this time it was when I counted ceiling tile number 72.HeHeHe!!! As you can see my Spanish 2 class is very boring once you finish your work.

  42. I got inspiration once just because my friend was wearing mis-match socks. Like one was tall with white and yellow stripes and the other one was short with a polka dot pattern.(she did it on purpose of course, and no my story had nothing to do with socks.) Totally random, huh? Yeah, but I guess my creative brain works in random ways.

  43. i get inspired by the voices in my head. :mrgreen:

    my main story has….32,497 words.
    and my other one is sort of in pieces, so yeah.
    the [short] story i’m working on at this particular moment is 1,142 words, but that’s a short story so yeah.

    not cool! i just took a quiz about “what time of day are you” and it said i was 11:59 AM! is there ANY lamer time?! no. there is not. is tres lame.
    almost as lame as Jakobinarina breaking up! *woe*

    and don’t worry, Bran-la. everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is a giant conspiracy to make people without girl/boyfriends feel horrible about themselves and make them believe they’re pathetic losers.
    don’t let the system get you down.

  44. go and look at my blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 and go to my other one too…..

    thanx

    i get inspritation out of nowhere. i just get a thought in my head and it wont leave untill it is written… so ya… normally it is lke something my friends say… my stories are currently
    1st story -2,938
    2nd story- 2,524
    3rd story- 579

    i have very short stories
    back to hw

    Sophie-LA
    Word 😉

  49. I HATE my secret admirer, he’s freakin annoying, and is so oblivious he doesn’t even know that I know. I have to avoid him at all costs.
    Why are you lost Serafina-la?

  50. my secret admirer is sooooo cute…. he is 1 year younger than me but he sees me all the time… and he writes me little love letters

    it is soooo cute

    Sophie-La
    Word 😉

  51. Mine doesn’t write me letters, but he sure does make a point of being where I happen to be. Which makes it so much harder to avoid him. So yesterday I made a point of gossiping(loudly) about my crush on Gaspard who he of course has no idea who he is so he doesn’t know that he’s an actor in France that is a lot older than me. So Ha!

  58. hmm. how depressing-making.
    it just stopped half way through.
    no fair 🙁
    ahh well.
    can’t wait for levathan.
    my own ‘novel’ is about 7000 words long (pathetic i know)
    it’s very gory though 🙂

  59. Has anyone read Dreamhunter?
    I’m getting so angry with that dream that Sandy caught when they were trying to catch Starry…umm I can’t remember the name…because it seems like the moaning that he hears in that dream could be the moaning from Buried Alive…but I haven’t finished the Dreamquake…so it might be…
    Oh, well

  61. I always feel like a pathetic loser. Valentines Day or not.

    Uh! My friend was making me soooo mad today! She was all mad because she was saying i was dissing her cultrue? Okie dokie then. Shes Mexican and i didnt say anything to her about Mexicans that were bad! I love her to death! shes my friend and i would never hurt her or a culture that i have never ever lived in! So then i am like “Why are you so mad” and she said “Why did u diss my culture” im like “I didnt. Your the one who said Americans were lazy and couldn’t do there own work” Which by the way made me extremly mad! and so shes like “Well u dissed me” i go “By saying that you lived in America so that mean ur lazy too?” And then she got mad. w/e!!! I feel the need to pull harshly on some unbendable object.

  65. i have sooooooooo much h/w. it’s crazy! i have Spanish, History, Art, & Band…. and in each of those i have more than one thing i have to work on. yuck. and i have 2 tests on monday, which should be against the law, b/c no one remembers things over the weekend.

    i don’t have a b/f either and i don’t feel pathetic.

    wow Bran-la…that’s not culture-dissing at all. if anything she’s the culture-disser. that majorly sucks. i hate it when people interperet things the wrong way and then get all mad at you.

    Lost is soooo fawesome. i didn’t get to watch it last night though…but i recorded it! so i will go watch it right now! 😀

  66. Um, Bran-la
    thatd make her a culture disser.
    Besides you were right
    She’s american too.
    So she’s automatically lazy c:

  68. no one really makes much of a big deal about valentine’s day in my school…the french/spanish teachers use it as an excuse to not come up w/ a regular lesson and force us to make crappy construction paper valentines, but that’s just about it. when i was in 7th grade some club sold roses as a fundraiser, one of my friends got one from this kid who liked her at the time.
    it was pretty cute, i have to say.

    i just buy those little theme boxes of valentines, this year i bought hannah montana ones and i’m gonna scribble out all her facial features in pen. i always used to do that to the tv guide when i was little so i figured this is a good opportunity. yeah, my friends and i don’t much enjoy miss montana *cough* 👿 *cough*

    oh, but we DO have a valentine’s day dance every year…actually, it’s tomorrow! my (the 9th grade) class is sponsoring it, which basically translates as we get the money from it.

    ahem, i have to agree with you on your quiz results, serafina. i mean, 11:59 A.M.?!
    said friend that received not-so-anonymous rose in 7th grade is crazy about lost. she was raving about last night’s episode to me in gym today. she’s like, “and then (insert name here) said ‘(insert quote here)’ to (insert 2nd name here), and then they found this box of poison!”
    or something like that.

    that site’s pretty cool, micky! but i have to say, those shoes, vegan-friendliness aside, are NOT good. i don’t even know what they are.

    this is gonna be really long. but most of my comments are.

  69. my school goes all out for v-day. we have a dance, and corshazies-(yeah i know i didn’t spell that right.) and suckers are sold at lunch. the only good thing about my school going all out for v-day is that they give us Friday off b/c the dance is on thursday night and they figure that we will all dance all night. oh and we get Monday off too.-(well monday is presidents day or w/e but still.)

  70. hey! i don’t get monday off! that isn’t right…i want a day off because of (mostly) long-dead presidents i don’t know the names of!

    and do you mean corsages? i don’t mean to correct you, but i’m not sure if i’m thinking of the right thing…

    we have all dances on saturday nights, 7 to 10, so there’s no chance of getting school off the next day!

  72. i started my story, you like
    Pry trotted into the classroom, after being in school for the last four hours, it was finally time for math. Numbers have been swirling in her head for her whole life, and math felt so right, and so clear. Pry watched the other classmates glumly pacing into the room, no one talking to her. She was an outcast. Her purple eyes, and mathematical thinking, she was just different that’s all.

  73. Sometimes we sell cards, but not every year. And nobody wants to get one because the messengers dress up and read them out loud.

    Who wants a message like,
    “I love you. Don’t tell.”
    Said to the whole class?

    (Yes, that is a real message.)

  75. Wow, i have some friend problems now! So first i ‘diss’ her and now she says how grouchy i am to my guy friend who responds back with “I no, right?” Well, i at least i have one friend i can count on!!! Im gonna talk to them……

  80. My school is so lame. We aren’t even having a valentine’s dance this ear. But we have Valentine’s grams where they send a flower and card to whoever you want. It’s funny though cuz this one guy got like twelve of them for his gf,who is my friend and they were reading off the names and she kept having to get back up.

  82. I am going to send a Valentine to this guy who is my siblings friends brother and he is soooo cute. And i like him. so im going to make him a Valentine. I no his mom really well and our moms are friends so there trying to hook us up. Fawesome!!!

  83. I am sooooooooo freaked out right now, I’m not kidding. It was just on the news that at a highschool(the highschool that a lot of my friends are going to next year) a teacher and get this a police officer were arrested for raping and possibly kidnapping a student. A teacher and a cop! That sure makes me feel real safe. I’m like totally freaking out, not good.Not not not good.*scary*

  87. Oh my gawd!!! That thing with the teacher and cop is MAJORLY freaky!!!! *whimpers* that makes me think of my perverted Geography teacher… >..< but i have it now! YAY!!

  88. ah crap my face made it so that didnt show up!! here’s what it was supposed to say:

    Oh my gawd!!! That thing with the teacher and cop is MAJORLY freaky!!!! *whimpers* that makes me think of my perverted Geography teacher… scaaaaary

    Does anybody know what a good virtual valentine’s day gift would be? cause this is the first year ive actually had a bf on valentine’s day (like that makes me like the holiday more *rolls eyes*) but he lives like 3 states away so i obviously cant actually get him anything. Any ideas?

    My school is K-12 (way small i know) so the middle schoolers sell all these lame v-day stuff like chocolates and flowers (i think). and in the high school they make everybody fill out this compatibility test and when v-day comes around you can pay a few bucks to find out who youre most compatable with out of the students there… its definetely going to be interesting….

    so I FINALLY got to read So Yesterday!!! Its the only Scott book i hadnt read yet and everytime i went to buy it it wouldnt be there. but i have it now! YAY!! twas fawsome furr surre!!

    -Correction complete-

  89. Wow, long distance relationship,huh?
    That compatability test sounds fun. Not that I’d take it seriously though, but it’d be funny to find out. And I LOVE So Yesterday! The only Scott books that I haven’t read yet are Risen Empire I think.

  91. Mmhmm!! but its absolutely amazing – besides having it suck that i cant actually give him a hug or anything 🙁

    I dont think anyone takes it seriously lol there was one question that made me laugh
    “how do you prefer to work out?
    A. By yourself
    B. With your team
    C. With your coach
    D. With a candy bar”
    haha i picked D! it had some really really stupid questions…

    I understand the boredom Sophie-La.

    I really should be doing something productive…. like working on the stories i need done for creative writing… but i really dont want to

  93. Hey me toooo!! Thats why i go on every random website i can think of before actually doing something useful!! xD

  94. I am bored frequently but I learned to stop telling my parents that I’m bored because then they make me do chores. Well they don’t make me but I’m a sucker for a guilt trip. Cuz I usually don’t have to do any chores.

  96. Okey Doke!!!

    If you have a myspace you need to add me for sure! i think the website thingy makes it so you can just click my name to get there….

    clicking….

  98. haha. same here. always bored. and i’m such a procrastinator!

    the German society at my school does those compatibility tests too as a fundrasier. i filled one out for fun but i don’t think i will pay to get the results.

  101. I prolly wont pay for it either…. theres only one guy decent enough (in my opinion) to date at my school and i certainly dont need a test to tell me i should date some hick… lol but i wanna see other people’s results

  105. psh Dartmouth would be so amazing!! (thinking Edwardy thoughts) but there’s no way I’d ever be able to get accepted.

    btw i lied about going to sleep im too hyper!

  108. Today I am going to the mall to pick out a Juicy Couture Purse! I have been DYING for one!

    I am in major need of some books to read! Start listing people!!!

  110. Just wanted to say: We’re living in Germany for three years (husband is US Army) and yesterday we went to a bookstore. I saw Uglies and Pretties in German!! Except the were called Ugly and Pretty.

    Super cool!! And the covers are pretty neat, too…

  114. Are you expecting me to read all of that!?!?!?! Thats A lot of books!!

    Weee, i found i purse, its, well……..Juicy! Yea i know my kokes are cheesy you dont have to point it out.

    What do u get guys for Valentines Day?

  115. hey bran-la, if you can, post the link to the purse you got! ya know, like it’s page on the juicy website. sorry, you don’t really HAVE to, i just wanna see what it looks like lol.

    ummm…chocolate? a shirt? boxers? (ok, just kidding on the last one).

    but i’d say chocolate or something of the like unless you’re together.

  116. UGH!
    I can’t even get a real time on that quiz!
    It just said twilight!
    I am raging with fury from homework, idiotic characters in books who can’t figure ANYTHING out by them selves, and SCIENCE FAIR!!
    Okay, science fair kinda fits into homework, but it’s worse.

  118. I havent officially gotten the purse but im getting it for my birthday! Its at the end of the mouth so my moms bying it!! But ill put up link, just got to find it…….

  123. No were not together i was just thinking like, what would a guy want? Obviously not flowers! So, i guess chocolate. Who doesnt like chocolate. Unless there allergic witch would be a bummer!

    Hmm…I wonder why…
    ROAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!

  132. I need a new icon, right now i dont have one, cause i suck like that. I hate trying to get one cause they dont have good ones then i fee stupid.

  134. Er, yeah, I agree with Sera-la
    it’s GRAVITATIONAL
    I gave my friend a list of books I thought she would like (and that I really like, I like to keep a list of what I read, even though I often forget to put some books on it)and she just said, “What am I supposed to with this?”
    And then she recycled it
    I had it saved on my computer though
    Thank science for technology

  137. I not allowed to have a MySpace but i go visit my fiends MySpace. My friends want me to get one but im not allowed! I want one…..kinda…..

  139. I only want one because they look kind of fun. although i think they are restarded in the way they let everyone no who u are and where u live.

  142. YaY!!! I Pre-ordered Breaking Dawn at Borders! I got New Moon on audio and am listening to it right now. I usually hate books on audio but I decided to get it since I already read the book. At least this time there’s a good narrator.

  145. I hate the it when the narrators have like a nose problem or they talk like there 5 it makes me mad. We have to listen to them in school. URG!

  146. Yeah, when we have to listen to them at school, I shut mine off as soon as the teacher turns around. I think they’re annoying usually cuz I read a lot faster than the narrators, and it slows me down.

  148. Ahhhhhh!!!! The retarted New Moon cd is brand new and it keeps SKIPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent-well my Dad- 50 dollars on the freakin thing and it’s not even working! Me = angry!

  151. I always get books on tape after I read them because I feel the need to just be able to pick up my MP3 player and listen to any part of the story I want to no matter where I am…well I can’t listen to my MP3 at school…
    I got Twilight on tape but not New Moon
    I also finally got the Pretties audio tape from the library

  153. You know those scenes in movies and TV shows where people are yelling or crying and it’s supposed be all emotional?
    Well, I have just recently learned that if some of your not-so-close friends are over and you are watching a movie and it comes to one of those ’emotional sences’ you should not do the following
    50. point out that the one characters looks like he is smiling
    51. laugh so hard at your friends’ confused looks that you start to cry tears of laughter
    52. When you go to get more popcorn don’t spill it everywhere because you crack up at some random line that was related to what you missed.
    53.Pretend to karate kick your friend after they finally unlock the door to the closet the shove you in, because you might possibly actually kick her
    54. Don’t mention to the friend you karate kicked in the nose that it was a good thing that you didn’t get kicked in the nose because you have Von Wilenbrands (or whatever it is called) Disease because then you have to explain it.
    55. Do not mention in your explanation of your blood thinning diesease that lot’s of people walk around with out even knowing they have it because she will freak out and her nose will begin to bleed again and then she’ll freak out even more
    56. Don’t punch the air when you reach 50 things not to do if you are under a loft bed because this makes your knuckles sore…

  156. I just read some Twilight fan fic and I think I’m dying cuz of it. Seriously I fell on the floor laughing so hard I was crying. Still…can’t….breathe…HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So freakin hilarious!

  157. YEAH! I just did my first successful download of my Digital picture from my Digital camera. (Why did i capitalize digital?) Whoa!!! Now there all safe and sound on my computer and im able to pull them out when i feel like looking at the beautiful pictures of me!!!! And well other people. But i get bored I take pictures of myself, and my mom, and dad, and well maybe a random person. (kidding on the last one.)

  162. Um…I don’t remember it was on a link for fansites on Stephanie Meyer’s website the link was twilight fan fic or something.

  163. I had a really freaky dream last night that involved my little brother drowning me, penguins,giant robots,laundry detergent, and people with many many guns.(No the people with guns were not on my side.)

  164. My dream invloved my dad going fishing, a missing girl in a tunnel, and evil spies who didn’t want the missing girl to be found…but I was also a spy and I was supposed to stop them

    Oh and I danced on lightning

  165. YaY!!!! I’m not the only one with freaky dreams!
    Oh yeah, most of the dialogue was in French except for the gun people, they didn’t really talk, it was like shoot now, ask questions later. Very disturbing.

  166. I don’t remember my dream. But onetime i had a dream that (in black and white) i had to figure out how to take my bike back to my friend without touching the found. I only had a car and a bike. It took 5 nights to figure it out!

    I have had dreams were i wake up crying.

  167. I had a dream one time that my dad was killed by this guy called the bucket man. He hit my dad on the head with a bucket and rolled him down a hill and my family let the guy some in ans was eating toast as he killed him!

  168. Oh, you know what I hate the most? Double Dreams, where you think you’re already awake but you’re still dreaming. Ughh! Yeah, when I was like nine years old, I had the same nightmare for like a month straight. Every single night.

  169. I have one dream once every year where people try to shoot me out of a cannon and if I get shot out of I will die. So I hide behind my friend and her parents bu they always turn me in. 🙁
    Sad-making
    But the dream I had last night I have about once a month
    With the same evil spies
    I mean it, they have the exact same faces!
    just not the same mystery
    and my dad doesn’t always fish in it
    But last night a character from my story ,who is going to become a spy, was in my dream…
    She just looked like she wasn’t sure what she was doing
    So I talked to her
    It’s kind of awkward talking to one of your own characters
    Since you normally decide what they say
    But this time I only subconciously decided
    weird…

  170. Haha
    like
    the person in the TV is watching TV and the people on that TV are watching TV and on the show they are watching people are watching TV and so on

  172. Once I dreamt in black and white and it was sort of a Godzilla kind of thing with the running and screaming people, except it was silent so they didn’t make any noise, but instead of Godzilla it was a butterfly chasing after them. I have no clue whatsoever as to why my dreams are so random and crazy, I guess its the only time my imagination just runs wild cuz I’m always having to concentrate on things like school,homework, ect…

  173. i had a weird dream a few nights ago. i was a convict or something and i was at this big hotel and all my family on my dad’s side was there. and i had to escape b/c they didn’t know i was there and if they found out i was they would turn me in and i would be killed. so my mom was the only one who knew i was there and she was on my side trying to help me and so she told me to crawl out the window and so i did and my dad, grandpa and one of my uncles was up on top of the roof playing cards and then i was like staying really close to the wall so they wouldn’t see me and my other uncle was down sitting outside in this garden type thing and we didn’t expect him to be there and so i couldn’t escape and so i hid in a bush but my uncle saw me and then my dad, grandpa, and other uncle came down from the roof and trapped me. and the only thing i had to escape was a bag of chex-mix so i threw handfulls of chex-mix in there faces and they caputred me. then i woke up. it was sooooo very weird.

  174. ughhh…i have sooooooooooo much homework i still have to do. bleh. 7 freaking work sheets. 50 note cards to make. a collage of tiny tiny piece to put together. and on top of all that i have to practice my saxophone b/c i have a contest next week. omg. i’m gonna be up all night if i don’t start soon. 🙁

  175. I hate dreams where u sy in the dream “I’m awake.” and i actually think im awake!!
    One time i had a dream that i was in the circus and a man put me in a lion cage and i got out and my mom told on me so i had to go back in.

  176. I have to do Science Fair
    It’s tomorrow
    I still have a paragraph to write and a board to organize
    At least I’m getting slightly better at not procrastinating
    You would think that if somebody had never ever ever missed a deadline for something that they wouldn’t be much of a procrastinator
    But I’ve been trying to force it out of me since kindergarten nad it’s still not gone

  178. I’m screwed. My Algebra teacher has us turn all our week’s worth of homework on Fridays, so I keep it all in my Algebra notebook. Well on Friday I couldn’t turn it in because my notebook was missing and now I can’t fing it ANYWHERE. I’ve searched every possible place that it could be twice and still no notebook. So I have to do a weeks worth of Algebra homework in one day! I swear I’m on the verge of mental overload!

  182. Algebra SUCKS.

    ugh, i got stuck at family party today. my cousin is making a Jonas Brothers fanvideo and putting it on YouTube *chokes, vomits* also, she’s in fifth grade and has a laptop, PSP, Chocolat cell phone and an iPod. i had none of those things in fifth grade.
    also, my other cousin’s boyfriend is in a screamo band. that was mildly hilarious.
    oh, and there was vapid watching of football.
    and i had a pounding headache.
    and violins being practiced.

  184. Somebody threw corn over the fence into our swimming pool. It was funny watching my brother fish it out, cuz he fell in.

  187. I’m taking Algebra
    Again
    Corn?!
    Ugh
    I hate football
    I had a cell phone in 5th grade
    But it’s not very good
    I would say that I still have it
    But I lost it Saturday

  189. I am more bored than all of youse

    I just got to school and have nothing to do for the next 8 hours except to “learn”

    I dont know how i will survive !!!!!

    🙁

  191. i think i’m going to get in trouble tomorrow. 🙁 see today in band we were working on our small groups for this competition and my band director was gone for a jazz band competition and so the choir teacher was walking around making sure everyone was working on there songs and me and my friend had been working the entire time and we stopped for 5 mins. and he came in and was like i haven’t been hearing much playing. (the reason he didn’t hear much playing is b/c we are usually right next door to his room and today we were 2 doors down b/c the other one was filled w/ stuff for the musical. plus the rooms are sound proff. and there is an even louder group that was playing right outside our door.) and so tomorrow we’re gonna get chewed out for doing what we’re suppose to be doing. and another one of my friends is in this group that doesn’t do anything at all one day they even broke out the spray paint and were painting on the wall. (the room they are in is for making the sets for musicals, so no one cares if u paint on the walls.) ughh….my band teacher is scary. he’s in the marines and he freaks out if we don’t do what we’re suppose to.

  192. Corn is my Favorite vegetable. Yum.

    Screamo band! Ha! thats is hilarious. But not so much of a mild but more of a……spicy (im using sauces) God i cant spell anything today! thank you spell check. URG!!!!

    One time, it was summer, and i was outside walking by the pool and i said “It looks like a good day to swim.” so my mom goes “Ok, tell us how it is!” and she pushed me in the water. In my clothes. Not a bathing suit. clothes. And i had to change into a towel in my garage cause my mom wouldn’t let me go inside all wet! It was weird. Good thing i was in like 4 grade or i would have fainted from embarrassment.

  193. In math, we have an online text book but its not always the same as the regular and i always use the online so i was using it and it wasnt the same and so id dint do it and i told my teacher. and shes like “Well if you give me the work that is wrong tomorrow ill trade you for the right stuff.” and im tell her that i didn’t do it and asked her if i could still turn it in and shes like “Yeah” and so if she tells me tomorrow i cant turn it in, im going to use her words against her!!!!! She better be prepared!!!1

No it’s….!!!” Yeah, and she shouted out CORN! and it was really funny. She even has a theme song now! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found my Algebra homework!

  198. haha serafina i just read your ending! talk about suspense-making, wow…and it’s all set for the darkling werewolves!

    i like the bag, bran-la…cool. there’s no juicy stores or juicy-vending stores near me that i know of–but i haven’t really looked lol. hey, does anyone have a facebook? b/c now this school in NY is trying to ban john green’s looking for alaska and there’s a group on there against it. i joined.

  202. Lol. i looked at the site. OMG, ITS FUN!!!! I did all (most of) the things on the list. I like the pinch yourself one the best.

  203. the closest nordstrom’s is an hour away, i hate that…stores really need to expand. i’m guessing there’s juicy couture stuff there? i haven’t been there since the beginning of the school year lol…

  204. I tried to fix my printer just now and my ink cartridge attacked me. So now my hands are dyed blue and pink. On the bright side my printer works again.

  206. Yes, they do sell Couture there. Limited but they do sell some.

    I just did book hunting. Thats the 1 time a month i go onto website and hunt down good books so i can go buy a bunch at one time. i found……counting……6 books. they all sound good. Now i just got to convince my mom to take me to Barnes and Noble.

    Ooo, ink. Thats bad.

  208. I’m typing with my toes, duh! No, just kidding. It dried on my hands after I tried to wash it off, so now my hands are stained. Such is life.HeHeHe!!!

    something weird – did you know steph meyer wrote her series (<3 <3 <3 edward <3 <3 <3) becuase she had a dream about the scene in the meadow? how cool is that??

    also – my worst dream thats totally recurring is that i’m in my house (any of them, i’ve moved 7 times 🙂 ) and i’m all alone at night and none of the lights will turn on. I can’t even light a candle or start a fire or anything!! its the scariest thing EVER and i’m not even afraid of the dark. 🙁

  216. I hate dreams where you want to scream at some one but you cant.

    I love Superman/Tom Welling!!!!

  218. One time I had to scream so I sat up in my bed during a dream and scrame. When I woke up I was confused.
    I love Superman/Tom Welling!!!!

  224. Friends, can you assist? A good friend of mine is considering getting themselves a new CBR 1000 as their first new bike! Never rode anything else before! I did say this is probably not a very good idea for the first one, but they are adamant and wont change their mind! What do you rekon, is this ok and would u then just recommend proper training lessons?
