Pulse has been collecting questions from readers, and each day from March 14 to March 27 a single question will be answered by, like, zillions of authors. Literally zillions! (Well, more like 120. But that’s still a lot.)

Hola Peoples! Como estas?(sorry don’t know how to do the upside down ?) or Bonjour peoples! Comment allez vous?
Yeah so um…I kinda wrote a poem, can you guys tell me if it’s majorly suckish?
In the darkened hall,
Murmuring spirits pass, by and by,
To her knees may she fall,
Searching for something, something in the shadowed sky,
Insanity is a question, though many have asked,answers are hidden out of reach,
For were we all sane, would this horrid world, this wretched life, be the same?
Life goes on and on, a circle in which we live and teach,
Oh please, though my shepherd,must my thoughts become tame?
It’s a wonder how glorious things are everywhere,
Then become cruel in the beat of a heart,
But we travel on by and by,without a care,
Pretending all is right, passing the death that becomes a dart,
But a dream, a memory, love.
All Gone, gone like a passing dove.

Well um yeah there it is…
omg that was amazing……. you should be a poet, tally & zane
that was really good!!!
so 2 make a long story short, i have a somewhat swollen lip that really hurts….like, really REALLY hurts. so…yea…
wow. very fool TZ!
that stinks Riderchilde-wa. hope it feels better!
me is tired. i just got done dancing. and wow. it goes fast. very fast. but i loves my dance. it’s way fawesome. hehe.
well off to study. and do math homework. bleh. laters.
i feel so bad for all of you …you’re all talking about studying and school and stuff and im on spring break…but i have a ton of makeup work to do from when i had the flu but ill do that another day lol….
Wow, um thanks you guys.
I’m not happy right now. Rawr.
why aren’t you happy??
i’m tired. i fell asleep studying. and my mom just woke me up. but at least before i crashed i got my math homework done. and now i just have to look over some stuff and do some extra credit and then i can go back to bed. *yawn* goodnight.
my lip’s feeling a little better now, thnx tho! 🙂
i too still be on spring break, but that also means that i will be studying my butt off while you all are on break. However i dont mind, because the earlier i can stay up all night reading ‘Pride and Predjudice’ the better.
Scott-la finally posted an entry in blogfest! *cheers!*
SPING BREAK IS FINALLY HERE! 😀 😀 😀
and i think i did really good on all my finals! …which is even more happy-making. 😀 hehe.
and ya know what else! 41 days of school left! and that’s just a rough count it might be a few less for teacher inservice days and whatnot. yippie!
I feel all weird having no intrnet access besides my madres phone. Haha I added some Spanish in there. Ok I have to shop cause I’m at a mall. A weird mall. Ur I hate TN!
HEY yall!!!!
well im maggy and i just read the uglies series. i live in ct so not many teens like to read so i would like to get to know you guys, im in a hurry but ill leave my email maggy_salinas_p@hotmail.com
by the way did any of you read the extras?
i need to get it.
i hated the fact that zane died!!! soo sad
p.s. not buuble makin
wait … bran-la,,,
your hispanic???????
lol bran-la i do that all the time, and get some funny looks. My friends think its pretty funny when i randomly say “I’m mucho tired” or “Me gusta your shirt.” but now that I’m learning german I can annoy them in 2 languages! or when i combine german, spanish, and english to make a sentence…
“ich bin mucho bordo und habe el headache.”
*sigh* i need something to do.
what the heck? I ain’t Mexican. I’m American like 100%! I just use random Spanish words. My sister is watching some stupid kiddy show. Fun.
And I didnt mean that like its bad being Mexican, both my best friends are part Mexican (although one doesn’t look like it) I’m just pround of my culture and American background!
I have two weeks until sring break
poop
My house will now be h-e-double hockey sticks once a month 🙁
Wait, no, they decided on week
i sorta know a little spanish + french, but not that much….next year i’ll be taking latin…..hmmmmmmmmmmm……………………………..
I know a little bit of Spanish because my grandma was like 50 percent spanish
I love SUperman/Tom Welling!!!!
all you guys and your different languages. *sigh* all i gets to take is Spanish. but i might teach myself French. i’ll probably take all 5 Spanish classes so i can be a part of National Spanish Honors Society. and i wanna learn French so i can spend some time in Europe taking pictures.
I know some Spanish, but I’m better at French. And I wasn’t happy cuz I bombed my Math test. Grrrr….now I have to retake it.
weee im bored
im sorry you bombed the test TZ
i think i failed mine too
but it wasnt my fault
i forgot my calculater that day
Me too and I swear that is an extremely RARE thing coming from me, so like yeah. I was not in a very good mood after that. And you know what sucks even worse? I got the answers right, but he said I didn’t show enough work! Ahhh! dude, seriously…
i hate when its not showing my work
i mean they know you do it all on a calculater anyway
I know! What’s he think? That I’m cheating or something? I’m physically incapable of being sneaky plus I’ve got a huge conscience, I’d never be able to pull it off.
ya me too
i get fine grades on my own though…
…usally…
so what is up with anyone that is on at the moment
that stinks TZ. i think i did bad on my art final. but i won’t know for sure till like monday. so i’m gonna be like going crazy worrying about it.
