Z-Day

Posted on by scott

Oh, there is much to write about Z-Day. (No, not z as in Zombies, z as in Zeppelin!)

I have many pix from the Zeppelin Museum, and from our flight today. But posting it all will take a while.

So let me take you back to yesterday, when we arrived in Friedrichshafen, the home of all things Zeppelin. As I’d hoped, it is a very themed town—they know what we Z-geek tourists want to see!

Like, here’s the big fountain in town . . .

Um, what is that cherub holding? Could it be a . . .

Yes! First Zeppelin sighting! But there were many more to come. A Zeppelin Hotel, a Zeppelin restaurant (very cool inside), and even “Graf Zeppelin” coffee. But my favorite Z-object was this awesome playground toy:

I wish I had the bandwidth to upload all my pictures from around town. But it is almost sleep-time here in Germany, and the hotel internets are slow. (Worst. Aspect. Of. Traveling.)

Next I’ll post some pictures from the Zeppelin Museum, and then many pictures and movies from our flight today.

But just to whet your appetites, here’s one of me in the rear window of the actual airship. Just click on the picture to see my terribly smug face in full size.

  3. oooh that last picture is awesome with the view from the plane and all…that’s beautiful.

    Zeppelins are awesome. Especially the “led” type.

  5. also, that is a pretty awesome cherub.
    it reminds me of some picture from when my parents went to Italy (a long time ago) and there was this angel that was totally playing air guitar.
    like, beyond a shadow of a doubt. he was holding a stick and rocking out. it was pretty awesome.

    smugness is so much more succesful when the earth beneath you looks like a tiny train model.

  12. This is awesome!
    Did I mention you and my photography teacher looks exactly alike? Like, if I saw him on the streets I would so think he was you. And I’m in Arkansas so maybe it’s your long lost twin who decided to move to Arkansas because he despises long horns and love the razorbacks… naaah lol
    Thanks for the pics!

  13. This makes me wish that my town had invested in zeppelin playthings for the local park growing up. Grazi for the lurvely images.

  15. Why is that Justine’s pix are still in Italy? There’s sumfink fishy going on here…

    Did you at least get to play in the playground?

  16. You know what though? That playground looks no where near as big or dangerous as the ones I had in Oregon. MAN! Those playgrounds were huge and FAWESOME! Like a theme park!

  19. i like how the playground zepplin is sort of borderline pointless. like, it’s sort of just an excuse to build something shaped like a zepplin. and put a viewer on top.

    my childhood was extremely playground-deprived.
    *is struck by random memories of playing really stupid space invaders with best friend in her backyard in like the second grade*

  20. ha. my favorite playground game was “hot lava” see my school playground was made of tar and it always got hot during the day. so we would try to cross the playground on the equipment only, and if we couldn’t we only had 3 seconds to get from one set to the other. and if you didn’t make it in 3 seconds you would lose. such a great game. i miss being a little kid. the world was simpler then. and friends were better. (not that there not good now. we were just closer back then. like with secrets. ya know. who you like. that fun stuff. now it’s just like not a big deal anymore.)

    ah. saddness. i got all pretty. did my hair. all that jazz. and then went to the mall to go see Prom Night and the line was too long and i ended up not getting in. doesn’t that suck? and my friends were already inside. oh well though. i’m not too into scary movies. and my friends are gonna come back to my house and stay the night after. so we will party then. still kinda bummed though.

  21. the playground at my elementry school was all various amusments made out of old tires (you think i’m exaggerating, but i’m not). like, huge structures made out of tires.
    they were pretty sweet.
    and if you played long enough, your palms would turn black with all the rubber and toxic chemicals rubbing off.

    also, parts of the tires were eternally full of water.
    and occasinally rabid squirrels.

  22. my fav game was lava monster someone would be a monster and couldnt go on the big toy(playground equipment) and if you got touched youd be it and of course the ground was lava good times good times

  23. ha yeah we played that one too Kenzie! it’s kinda like fish outta water. don’t you guys miss elementry school? …i do! 😀

  24. ya i do but mines in walking distance of my current school so i go and see my teachers all the time
    and hang out on the big toy

  25. mines in walking distance. i’m just too lazy to walk there. lol. my teachers were really fool though. my 1st grade teacher took me and my best friend to the movies, and to go get ice cream cuz she tutored us cuz when we were in 1st grade we had a hard time with reading (the doc just excused it and decided i had a mental disability cuz my eyes couldn’t track the words or w/e. but look at me now. i’m in honors english and can read better than most of the 300 students in my graduating class. i showed him whos boss! 😀 ) and 2nd grade my teacher was also very fool. 3rd not so much but she was okay. 4th we ended up moving into the house she built. lol. and she’s also very nice. and finally 5th the best of all. she rocked. we would go outside and have like an hour long recess, and we would talk, and laugh so hard we cried. 5th grade was the best year of all. completely loved it.

  26. i love like all my teachers
    ya they tried to put me in speicial classes cuz i was QUIET
    then my mum ask my teacher what i was having problems with and i was doing fine in everything
    my mum was PO
    im kinda sad though cuz my 6th grade teacher moved to E washingon so im not able to see him
    he was prolly one of the best teachers ever

  28. wow, i seem to harbor much more hatred for my teachers than you guys.
    *shrug*
    i guess it’s my inherent negativity.

    my fourth/fifth grade teacher’s the only one i’ve gone to see, cuz she was cool.
    (and yeah, i had the same teacher for the fourth and the fifth grade. she moved up and i ended up getting her again. which now means i get really confused and mix up all my memories of those two years)

    i remember when they built a new (and sadly zeppelin-less) playground at my elementry school, they had a big opening cerminony and the under-five foot principal cut a ribbon to open it….
    ….and kids trampled her and ran all over it.
    because no one had explained to us all that it was a boring cerimonial opening after which we were supposed to go back to our classes.
    LAME.

  33. Oooh…I writeded more poems!
    Here’s one I can post:
    Dug into a ditch,
    no compensations.
    scared out of your wits,
    no compendstions.
    Fair, fare only is the beauty of the sky.
    Life is dark,
    a void not willing to be filled.
    Stretched to the limits, by all means.
    Detatched from hope of a brighter being,
    seemingly lost with
    no compensations.
    Life is deluded into despair.
    Rest now, in slumber.
    Awaken soon not, awaken never.
    Gone with the wind, no compensations.
    Catastrophe…

    Tell me how it is…

  35. Thanks! I was feeling a bit depresseded when I wrote it. It’s in honor of Rico the Spider that my Algebra teacher squisheded.
    -shrugs- yeah I know…

  36. I ♥ zeppelins!! and not just because scott-las writing about them either. i’ve liked them since age six when i saw this doccumentary about them on the history channel. zeppelin is also just such a fawesome word.

    favourite playground game…hmmm…
    in year four: spiderweb and circle tag
    year five: we were all these horror movie creatures and stuff. At
    times, it got pretty gory. our ‘leader’ was a vampire, who
    used to pretend to drink mine and this other girl’s blood,
    being the only ones who were still, to some degree,
    mortal, being a zombie and a mummy. ew, i know.
    year six: spiderweb (again) and octopus. also trading pokemon
    cards (again, i know)
    year seven: good day challenge. basically spinning around really
    fast
    year eight: go home, stay home, which was renamed El Blobbishmo
    after this stuffed toy we found in the soft materials room

    and after that, all games ceased.
    geez that post was long and irrelevant…

  37. last year our school built a playground which was nifty cuz we used to only have a field (boooooooooooring) and a blacktop (even moooooore boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring).

  41. Wow, it was good T&Z. but at the same time it was really deep. You know? Like, it was hard to get the feeleing out but at the same time it was hard to comprehend. Weird….

    Im recovering from the party. No, i didnt get drunk or somthin thats not what i meant by recovering. You see, at thw party, everyone was dacing and soon, a bunch of people stood up on the fire place. Well on the fireplace was a mantel and soooo let me tell u the story from my view:
    i was dancing right in front of a girl (lets call her P1) and next to her was danceing another girl (P2) and i was in front of them dancing on the floor. So i was just looking at P1 when i notice P2 say “Omg are u ok?” and P1 looked kind of shocked so she jumped down from the fireplace with P2 looking franticly at her. So P1 took her hands to her forehead and when she pulled them away they were covered in blood. So aprently she cut her forehead open on the mantel. It gets worse, she was bleeding so bad that she was dizzy and couldnt stand up striaght and she was starting to fall asleep fast. Of course they rushed to the bathroom and all the parents went in too and they made all of the people at the party sit on the floor so we could “settle down”. did they know this was a party? So thats my sad yet disgusting story. O yea and they didnt call her parents. they found out when they showed up an hour later. 🙁

  43. wow. kinda sounds like the time that me and my friends were partying out at my other friends lake. and we went tubbing and it was a 3 person tube and there was this bridge and when we went under it a wave caught the tube and we were going pretty fast (probably faster than we should have been.) and the tube banged up against this metal wall with sharp pointy things that stuck out and my friend hit the wall really hard and she fell off the tube and was in the water barely conscious and her forehead was cracked open with blood rushing out and when we wiped the blood away we could see her skull. it was the scariest thing that has ever happend in my life. and i sat in the boat watching the whole entire thing. worst day ever. and so then we turned the boat around almost colided with another boat went back to the house called 911, they took her away then we went to the hospital and everyone was crying and she had to be lifelighted to a bigger city nearby and we had a dance rectial that night so we had to keep from crying on stage and she was suppose to be there with us. she was suppose to be the star that night (cuz made opener. which is kinda a big deal.) but instead she was in surgery. and so afterwards no one felt like being alone so we all went to another one of my friends house and called like 20 of our closest friends and told them the news. and then the girls moms parents called and said that she was okay. and that she was lucky that it hit right above her eye cuz if it would have hit her eye she would have been blind. and that day before the accident me and her did rock paper sisccors to see who was going to get that spot on the tube, and she ended up winning, so she got the spot. but i can’t help but think what if it had been me? would i still be here with both eyes to see out of?

    TZ very fool poem! don’t you love how theraputic poetry is? i do!

    last night was the bomb. me and my friends made like a ton of videos and started our own youtube site. it’s fawesome!

    sorry for the longness.

  47. Omg that is so creapy Kay-wa. to think it could have been you!?!? Gosh, thats scary. I feel really bad for your friend and mine. although my friends wasnt as bad it was really hard to see her standing there. I remebr watching her from the bathroom door daces they out her in the bathroom were the mirrior was and they had a chair int there. she was sitting and then they thought she could stand so the took away the chair and she was fallingover and tripping and crying and she couldnt keep her eyes open and she almost fell unconcious. And u no what……….i almost got on the fireplace with her when one girl jumped down.

  49. Yeah. about the zeppelin playground thing.

    I played on playgrounds up til I was around 10 years old.

    Playgrounds at recess, playgrounds in parks, playgrounds at this other school we used to go to on weekends to play…not to mention the little tyke stuff on my back deck.

    But never with a zeppelin. I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot now.

  50. wow, that is spooky kay-wa.
    it reminds me of the time at this holiday program thingy where we were all really bored, and so we all started jumping off the little kid’s playground onto this table. except one girl missed the table, and cut her head open on the edge, so my friend and i had to like, drag her to the office where we called her mum, and she said “i’m in a very important meeting right now, please don’t disturb me. tell kylie i’ll take her to the hospital when i pick her up a 6:oo” which made us really angry. i mean, she was lying on the floor unconcious, and her hair was all stained with blood, and her mum can’t leave work.

  54. hello
    its been a while since ive been on.. theres like a ton more posts from scott!
    ive driven in the alps when i was like 5 and were going again next summer 😀 im totally excited (even though its like a year away lol)

  58. HAHA today was bomb
    i went to my friends b-day party and we watched 30 days of night pretty fool to say the least
    and i got a lefty notebook
    you know like the one where ther priral is on the other side

  59. Crap, I dont feel very good…I slipped and fell today and I landed on one of the stakes that holds the canopy thingy down so now theres a mark from my shoulder blade all the way to my lower back and it hurts like HECK! Sheesh! Why am I such a klutz? Dont answer that…

  60. owwie that must of hurt TZ
    one time i fell on a lego and got a bruse that looked like it it HURT

  62. All of a sudden people start getting hurt!!!!

    Holy Carp this desk is covered in ants!!!! omg dont come near me!!! im gonna kill em……

  63. haha i killed them. just some simple counter spray and *Poof* there all drowning in cleaner while chemicals breakdown there small little bodies.

  66. Were is everybody? Out? Having fun without me?! Not fair. I get stuck doing a math projects of scaling up a building that is impossible while you……have fun?! Jeez you guys.

  67. yeah. the accident was very creepy. awful. and traumatic. and all the what if’s and could have been’s, i hate thinking about those. but it’s over now. and well be going on 2 years since it happened in may. (i haven’t been tubing since. and i don’t think i plan on going for awhile. at least i won’t go at that lake anyway.)

    Bran-la i just finished Legacy. and your right not so good of an ending. i’m mad at reed, for doing what she did to josh. and i’m mad at josh for trying to make her chose. but then not mad at him because he came back. which makes me even more mad at reed. eh. such a headache, i just want those two to be together already. and Kate keeps ripping them apart. 🙁 …frustration. what do you think? …do you want them to be together or not?

    eh. i have so much homework. that i really don’t want to do. and then my mom wants me to clean out the refrigerator. bleh.

  68. I want her and Josh to be together and i want whatever his face is to go away already. He keeps making reed do all this weird stuff and hitting on her and i just want to rip his hair off!!! It made me mad when i found out the ending. do you know what ambition is going to be about cause i havent heard anyhting about it. I want to no what happens!!!

  70. oh i know! Dash has got to go. it’s suppose to be him and noelle NOT reed! eh, makes me sick. and nope. not a thing. besides that you can win it early on her blog but my computer keeps saying i can’t enter at this time. and it’s really kinda getting annoying cuz i only have till the 15th and then the contest is closed and they pick a winner. and i’m not sure what the deal is cuz it keeps telling me to go to the privacy statement but that hasn’t helped much at all. …so i’m wondering if you have to be an alloy memeber to enter…. but again doesn’t make much sense to me. have you tried to enter the contest?

    yeah. i hate cleaning too. see i cleaned the frige once for my mom to surprise her and be nice. and now she has declared it my job. which doesn’t seem right to me.

  71. aha! i did it. it finally let me enter! 😀 see i have 2 different internets. opera (my regular one. that is all security and crap. which basically means no pop-ups. and whatnot. which is nice cuz they destroyed my last computer.) and microsoft internet explorer (the one that destroyed my last computer.) and so i went on microsoft internet explorer and it let me enter. haha. 😀 😀 now i’m happy.

  72. I told my parents that I am so craving a macbook.

    All I have are PC’s — I am just tired of them. MACS are so BETTER. They are just more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

    No Viruses is just on positive thing about Macs. I love the way they look too.

  75. lol yes it would! and we have good chances too! cuz 5 people will win. and i’m pretty sure not to many people know about it! 😀

  77. eh. i’m writing this uber boring report on a business competition for journalism. and i’m so very much dreading it… and now there is no way i wanna be on the newspaper staff next year…. yearbook=heck yes. rustler=no way! even though the newspaper staff gets to go to California this week for a few days. lucky them. oh well though. we get friday off as our official “spring break”…not that you can call it that.

  78. who wants to help with a litte project i’m working on?
    if you do, read on!
    this summer, i plan to make a trailer for uglies. not a real one, obviously, a fan-made one.

    and i need some help.

    i need to know which scenes to include, what outfits to wear, all that jazz, you know? if you could click on my name up there ^ you can voice your opinion, but you must have myspace to reply.

    help would be GREATLY appreciated, and once it’s finished, when i can actually start filming (there’s still snow on the ground), i’ll post it up on the you tubes. i’ll credit you in the side bar, also.

    so if you’d like to help, PLEASE DO SO!!!!

    thanks very much!

    megan

  79. Im in Journalism at my school but it includes the Yearbook and the Newpaper. so im yearbook/newpaper staff. But we only have 4 newpapers the whole year and we work really hard on the yearbook. Our yearbook rocks!

    I just came back from B&N so, yep. I got the first two books in the Pretty Little Liars series so im gonna try it out! See you Peeps (hehehe peeps!) l8r!

  80. hey! i’m new! I read the book uglies and I loved it!!!!! I can’t wait to read Pretties!!!!!

  81. ooooooo i wanna read those. my friends are all very obsessed with Pretty Little Liars….but i hear they are kinda dirty. lol. let me know what you think of em.

    in my school you have to take the intro class to even be considered to be on either yearbook or rustler. and then you have to turn in an application and get voted in. and newspaper staff meets for half of a block (45 mins.) that would split with band for me, so i’d have 45 mins. band and then 45 mins. rustler, but now i don’t really wanna be on it anymore cuz writting articles is kinda boring. and then yearbook staff meets each day for an hour and a half. so it’d be a big chunk of my schedule. which kinda sucks becuse i want to get in all the classes i need for college and yearbook would be exremely hard to fit in. so i don’t know. kinda a dilemha. but i LOVE taking pictures and i would get to use the schools DSLR (love those cameras.) and i’d get into all the events and have an excuss to take tons of pictures. plus our yearbook is fool. it’s 200 pages.

  83. nevermind!!
    i’m in yearbook at my school and it is really fun.
    we get out of classes all the time just to take pics for our teacher!!
    I love getting out of math!!

  85. lol. that’s fool Ashry. that’s one of the main reasons i want to be in yearbook too. plus i LOVE DSLR’s. they are so very fawesome.

    and i usually leave and come back. sorry that i left you hanging. o yeah and btw, welcome to the site!

  87. Omg yes! i have only read the first 3 chapters and they are dirty but in a keep-you-movin kind of way. Like, i was supprised some of the people tht read them recomanded them to me becasue the people that recommended them are immature so….. but its good so far. but dirty, yes, dirty. lol.

    My school is diffrent. for us we have 45 minute periods and we have 8 pds. a day. but 2 of them are our electives. In 6th grade you can either take the wheel (which is spanish one nine weeks computer the next, then art and then choir) or band. in 7th grade you do PE and either art, spanish, choir, theatre arts, computer, or journalism (which i do) and in 8th grade u pick your two elctives not including PE. You dont have to do Pe in 8th grade, yeah. So our extra classes are actually in our day. so yep.

  88. i have read ALL of Scott’s books! Hi, Ashry! Welcome to our crazy blog. If you are like us, you will get addicted to this place!!

  89. Yeah i do that too. we get busy, i mean we live all over the US and from other countrys. So yep yep. i gonna read more but sometimes you have to take a break. My back always starts to hurt and i get uncomfertable so yep. I will try to remeber to get on again.

    If your bored, listen to this weird song my friend showed me. Its weird but adicting-

    And this is just random-

  90. Uhhh, i hate when my comment has to get moderation. ITS JUST A FREAKIN YOUTUBE VIDEO, NOTHING BADDDDD! God, do they think im some idiot?

  91. can’t wait to read them. loti (laughing on the inside. haha. that’s my new fave saying. get use to it. it’s from Legacy.) 😀

    that’s how middle school was for me. highschool has a different schedule though. we go on blocks. we have 4 blocks per day each an hour and a half long. and then we have a 17 minute class called confrence advisement mondays is grade check, tuesday-thursday is power reading and then friday is club meetings. although i have a really fawesome c/a all we do is hangout. and our teacher is very fool! she lets us go to the vending machines, and she lets us on her computers… her own computer(not many teachers let you get on their computer) and then the spare one she has in her room. and she brings us food. like pringles, candy, these big candy bars, and she’s buying us all krispy cream doughnuts this week. she rocks! and we have a 30 minute lunch which is included in our 3rd block class to make it 2 hrs. yep. that’s basically the schedule. and for the most part we get to pick what we take. theres a few required classes that you need to graduate but other than that it’s all your choice.

    i’ve read Uglies trilogy plus Extras and i’ve read So Yesturday. still have to read Midnighters trilogy and Peeps and TLD… i’se such a slacker. i feel like a bad westerfan. i plan on buying the ones i don’t have yet and reading them this summer though! promise!

    ughhhhh…… i’ve been procrastinating for like 3 hours. trying to write my paper but then getting distracted. i’m so awful at concentrating on something. ughh.. i should get back to it now even though i really don’t want to.

  92. Hi, this isn’t really the right place to comment on this, I guess, but I just wanted to point out the NY times article on cell phones.
    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/magazine/13anthropology-t.html?em&ex=1208232000&en=e7c151097c9785c0&ei=5087
    (so that Finnish phone company was Nokia! Good to know.)

    can you say So yesterday? i read the book recently- i was already an uglies and midnighters fan- i read the first midnighters when it was still an ARC, even. But so yesterday, as much as it impressed me at the time, continues to impress me every time i read an article that proves it absolutely right. There was one in the New Yorker as well, about a woman who was a total mix of Innovator and Trendsetter. I feel like this really should have been in an email, but oh well, I hope no one minds, since I don’t know how else to send it.
    Looking forward to more on zeppelins!

  93. i am sooo ready to get out of middle school. Lets just say…… im ready for a more mature envoirment. As in, im tired of my school being childish and my friends being immature. And im tired of the guys being pervs. but im afarid that wont change. so yep…..

  94. Ack! I just got bit by a spider! Oooh, I’m gonna try and scale the wall to test and see if I’ve got any super cool new spidey powers! Ooh, if I dont that be hecka jipped! Yeah, so I’m writing a speech for graduation….speeches are boooooorrrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnngggggg! But I’m doing it anyway cuz its 100 extra credit points if I get chosen to speak.(Not that I need it) But yeah so…*goes and tries to climb the wall*!………………*falls*
    CRAP! No spidey powers….-pouts- Ah well, such is life…

  96. yeah. guys will still be pervs. there will still be tons of drama. and yeah. maybe not as childish. i don’t know. i haven’t seen a huge change from middle school to highschool i mean probably the biggest change is that you can be friends with so many other groups than just your own little clique. like even if you were already it still kind of expands. like for me i have my main group of friends (the ones i have been buds with since elementry school) then i have my softball girls (and theres like two sets. my not so close summer softball girls that are only close for like 3 months in the summer and then my main softball girls who i’m friends with for the entire year.) then i have my band geek friends (best of friends in marching band season…and then the kind of friends you say hi to but don’t hang out with the rest of the year) then my drama friends (not so close. but still friends.) and yeah. that’s basically all of em. and it’s crazy how everyone is so intertwined. like how everyone is friends with another person and the spider web eventually winds itself back to who it started with. very interesting in my opinion.

  98. Yep. I’ve noticed the same thing with high school, Kay-wa. I’ve pretty much got friends all over, all the groups & stuff, and didn’t really in junior high.
    I’m sorry about your lack of spidey powers, Tally & Zane. I’d be disappointed too.

  100. i know i haven’t been on here fo ra while. i have been busy.

    my dad is having surgry tomorrow. please pray for him.

  105. Uh, even if the change between high school and middle school is no diffrent i still want to leave this place (referring to school).

    OMG!! Ok, today, we have a soccer feild and i dont play soccer but i stand around and just talk to people. Only like 3 people actually play soccer there but anyways. Someone kicked the ball over the fence and hit a car but they just drove on. So when the ball goes over we wave people down and they get out and get the ball. so we were all out there waving and a blue mini van passed us and we waved and then out of no where the wondow just breaks! Its just pops and all the glass came off and the lady stopped and got out. so she like “what did you throw?” and we all arguing with her saying that we didnt throw anything and that we were waiting for our ball back. but the person kept yelling and so one of the teacher came over. she was saying that it wasnt us and that she was sorry it happened and helped her pick up the glass. So I, being gullible, still believe that no one threw anything. It turns out this guy got mad at a girl he liked and when we were waving down the car he chunked the rock at the ladys car and broke it. so im so scared right now that the teachers are gonna find out and im gonna be balmed for it cause the lady wasnt retarded, i mean she knew windows didnt just explode. so yep….. but the weird part was the glass was on the outside so i found that odd.

    Oh yeah, and today i bent down to get my book of the floor and my hair got caught in the desk. the teacher had to cut some stands so i could be free.

  106. wow Bran-la. sounds like an eventful day. at my school the guys p.e. class was outside playing soccer and everyone was fed up with the teacher so like 30 guys mooned him! lol. and now there all in BiG trouble. haha.

  107. Hahaha, thats funny. while the guys at my school play soccer, they pick one guy to hold the soccer ball while the others kneal down and face forward. then the guy with the ball kicks it at them in the……spot. Its funny to watch though. And sometimes theres this girl who is, well you know what they call girls who are a little wild around guys and not so modest. she goes up and she bend down so her butts in the air while the guys take turns aiming. Again, funny, but not somthing i personally like to do!

  108. sure kim-la, i’ll pray 4 him. hope he gets better!
    i hate focusing on schoolwork/homework. my eyes always waaaaaaander to something much more interesting than numbers or words, like a crack on the wall, or a lightbulb that flickers every 6 seconds. and then someone calls my name and i’m like “what did u say?” and they get annoyed with me. we go to this science club thingey and i brought a book (surprise surprise. my friend always bugs be bout that. grr i think i’m building a reputation. o well not a bad reputations :mrgreen: ) anyways so they just took my book and ran around the room and i was like chasing them and they wouldn’t give it back until my karate skills came back (jk i only was a orange belt. o well tho i learned some cool things…..which i’ve forgotten.) so ya noone wants to get on my bad side when concerning books.

    at flowerchild-wa’s school they’re gonna teach ballroom dancing! how creepy is that? //shudders inwardly//

    yearbook sounds fun. i luv taking pictures! :mrgreen:

  110. Oooh, the guys at your school sound really retarded! HaHa, LoL! Not that mine are much better…except for-NEVERMIND! I wasnt gonna say anything*cough* Yeah so….*starts whistling innocently*….Wow,um…softball wuz sooooooooooooooooo fun today! I hit two, count em, TWO homeruns, outta the park baby! Very exciting!

  113. Haha! TZ-la, you are way more talented than me
    that’s an understatement

    It normally just hits me in the face

  116. Hey,
    just read that you are researching for a Book that will have airships in it and saw that you actually flew on the Zeppelin NT in Friedrichshafen. If you want to share your story or just promote your upcoming book, give us a shout at the Airshipworld Blog, we love to feature everything about and around airships and that of course also involves books.

    Regards

  117. lol. nope. not my birthday. not until the 28th anyway. my grandparents are going on vaca so my grandma wanted to do it before she left.

  118. That is so cool! I didn’t know they had a whole themed town! My first thought was Led Zeppelin lol! I remember learning that in high school I think, what a zeppeling actually was and how the name ‘led zeppelin’ is actually an oxymoron. 🙂

    I hadn’t posted a reply in a while. Thought I’d leave that thought with all of you.

  119. getting braces 2morrow. 8:30 AM! srsly if it’s the day i’m getting braces on, can’t they give me the courtesy of making it so i can SLEEP LATE?!?!?! gosh what kinda people r they? 🙄

  120. No, its better to get them in the morning cause youll be sleepy so u wont be freaking out as much and you will be use to them by the end of the day.

    Spas are soooooo relaxing, i wish i lived in one.

  121. that looks like a cool slide.! and it definitely sounds like scotts been havingg fun.!

    okay somebody.. help me!! i’ve run out of Westerfeld books.!
    and now i dont know what to read!! i was thinking about eclipse or twilight.. w/e the first book is in that series, but idk.!

    whats some good westerfeld-ish books?!
    or just any good book!

  122. Private series! read those. very good!

    i got my dance outfit today! 😀 it’s so freaking fawesome. i’se gonna go try it on right now! 😀

  123. -Ok well i no there is Vampire Diaries are really good.
    -Right now im reading the Pretty Little Liar series and it Rocks!!!! I finished the first one yesterday!!!
    -There is the Private Series.
    -Umm……I like a lot of girlie books so im kind of better for that listing but if you want just some normal books i cant help you. I like romance mushy gushy lovey dovey novels.
    -Theres Elsewhere and Memoirs of a Teenage amnesiac.
    -Uhh o heres a GREAT one its called 13 Reasons Why. Its not romance. Ita bout a girl who comits suicide. Sound creepy? You have to read it, its not what you think its about.
    -I really want to read this book i think its called Luxe. It like teenage drama and outrageous party’s but in the 1800’s its awesome.
    -kate brian has a lot of great books.
    -Janette Rallison does too.

    So check some of those out!

  124. to Bran-la (this is a few posts ago but i had to leave when it was newer)
    yes, retarded guys like that make life very interesting. and you’re not alone, my boyfriend is one of those kind of people who leave you shaking your head and walking away. he doesn’t do things quite as bad as the soccer ball thing, but is weird nonetheless.
    YAY FOR CRAZED WEIRD PEOPLE

  126. Wow, I feel like crap. I got hit in the face with a basketball like really really hard by one of those stupid egomaniac-loves themselves-guys. And I’ve broken my nose already before, and almost died cuz of it(eesh!) seriously, the bone came really close to my brain which is like totally not good! Yeah so it whacks me right in the face, and I cant get nosebleeds anymore ever since I broke it so yeah, but it really really hurts like an extremely bad migrane. Owwwwwww…pain.

  127. Scott-sama! you are so well-traveled.
    😀

    teehee, i just thought of what a zeppelin- AND zombie-themed town would look like…

    i can’t wait for Leviathan!
    HURRY SCOTT-SAMA!

  128. Hahaha, yes go crazy weird people. Im not afraid to admit that i am in fact a crazy weird person! But i dont hit myself with soccer balls.

    Ok, so what would you do if you found out your friend might be moving? You dont no for sure but your sure they will. My friend told me today that her dad got a job promotion offer to go to another state were they will get way more money than here. Im so sad!! Im pretty sure he’ll take the offer because everyone needs money! I dont want her to move!!!

  129. omg. i know exactly how you feel. that EXACT same thing happened to me. like my very best friend (the one i’ve been bffs with since 1st grade. the one who was my very FIRST best friend) might be moving to California (VERY far away) because her dad got this really great promotion to start up this company and he’s probably gonna take it. my friend didn’t really wanna tell everyone yet because she’s not for sure. and her mom and my mom are best friends so they talked and she told my mom all about it. and then my mom told me and my friend doesn’t even know i know. it’s majorly sucky. because i can’t even talk to her about it. and she’s the one i talk to about everything. so yeah. it majorly sucks! and i really don’t want her to move… cuz these were the last three years we had left together before college tears us apart and we move to opposite sides of the country. (her dad is required to be there for three years to start things up and make sure it all goes good.) so lets just hope our friends parents change there minds and decide NOT to move. …i can’t even imagine what it would be like without her here.

  131. I hope her dad decided not to but at the smae time i no it would be better for them. I knew me and my friend were gonna be separated with high school and all but so far every year i have had something happened that required me to get a new best friend and im tired of doing that! For one time i just wanted to have the smae friend. O and my friends dad was offered to go to California too!

    Haha, who isnt weird and crazy! Uh like weird people!

  132. yeah. that stinks that every year you have to find a new best friend. i would hate that. i’m lucky in that sense. nine years and i still have the same best friend.

    it’s funny how similar our situations are. like 2 weeks ago or so i wrote a very similar comment to the one you wrote earlier. lol. i started reading it and i’m like huh? is she talking about when i said that my friend might be moving and is replying to it? lol. i was confuzzed. …but after i read through it all i was like wooooo… that’s like exactly what’s happening to my best friend. kinda crazy.

    tons of homework that i should probably go do. 🙁 no school Friday though! …it’s our spring-break-day. lol. 😀 and tomorrow my c/a teacher is buying us doughnuts!

  133. OMG, if anyone can tell you how that feels its me. Three years ago my BEST friend since I was four years old and I were seperated by six states,yeah. So we still kept in contact. Every day.(Much to our parents displeasure at the long distance phone bill) But we stayed really close. And after a while, we eventually moved back and now we’re inseperable again. Thank goodness we moved back though! Gosh, I hated it there! No offense to anyone who lives there though, it was in Arkansas, but really, I’m a city girl and that kinda conflicted with living in a town with like 1000 people. Dude, my school has more people than that now. But yeah, like I said no offense. Just not my kinda place, not that I dont appreciate nature and stuff, I really do.Except for freaking locust that are bigger than my freaking fist!Scary much! Okay I’m done with babbling but stay close, you never know what could happen.

  135. something similar happened to me. the friend that moved just happened to be my best friend at my homeschool program thingy (as well as the only girl i got along with well there) and she moved to las vegas. and she’s moved again already since she’s been there! we keep in touch but it sucks not being able to see her for the past 2 years. rawr. and it was all cause her dad got a new job there.
    exactly, Bran-la, who isn’t weird? the world would be boring without randomness.

  136. i love love love those photos, absolutely AMAZING. i had no idea that Germany, or ANY country for that matter, had a Z-Day, now I wanna visit Germany, it looks soooooo awesome (especially the Z-geek place)!
