Me on TV 2

Posted on by scott

So, yeah, I was on TV. And it was hi-def:

Note my puffy hair. At the very last second—literally as behind-the-camera guy was counting down with his fingers—I reached up and puffed my hair. What was I thinking?

Luckily, it’s not a lot of hair.

Click here to watch.

Some notes:
A) Getting up at 7:30AM sucks, even if it’s to be on TV.
B) I am vastly taller than MAC and Jane O’Connor.
C) One minute is shorter than you think.
D) The cameras for TV news shows are robots now! Like, they move around on their own like frickin’ Daleks. Did anyone else know that?
E) My voice isn’t usually that low. Must have been head-cold related, but it sounds kind of cool. (I wonder if anyone will ever engineer a virus that doesn’t make you feel like crap, but gives you perpetual sexy-cold voice.)
F) My hand gestures are weird when zoomed in on. Next time, must wear wrist weights.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes shot, as taken by Justine.

Thanks for watching, and have a great week.

  2. 2nd post! you’re so spoiled, scott-sama. we have to get up at 6:30 every day for school. AND there’s no TV appearances for us. I’m going to watch the interview right now…

  3. Haha. You are funny Scott. And i will have you know that i thought u did great! I didnt even notice the puffy hair!

  10. Uh! siblings are so annoying! This is my sister…”Are you gonna help me clean up?” me: “mom never said she wanted it clean she still has to eat.” sibling: “Ok, you knwo what? Mom shouldnt have to ASK us to clean, ok!?” me: “Ok you can clean it.” sibling: “i will!” me: *rolls eyes* How annoying! She didnt ask us to clean it and she hasnt even eaten yet so here she is…cleaning it. I hope she has fun! Suck-up…

    So today i went on a super shopping spree. We went to the mall and bought a whole lot of stuff. We mostly got it for our summer vaction trip next week but i got other stuff too. i got a lot. And of course all that stuff you need….contact solution, hair stuff…..yep. It was fun.

  11. Exams are coming. The only plus is that swimming will end (down with the dreaded saturday morning practice! 5:30am is not a good time to wake up.) But the real question is what would quotation marks say to each other if they could talk? I think they would argue…

  12. Gosh, now my sibling is teeling my dad who just walked in the door. My sibling is like “Well nobody is helping me.” Im sure she added a little tear in there.

  14. Life becomes pitiful when people (aka My sibling) ruins it for you. My dad difnt care that she was a lone cleaning…neither did i. But still! nobody likes a tattler. they are mean and they are pathetic! Keep your darn problems to yourself! you daddy aint gonna help you! URG!

  15. Ya well my brother is in the next room throwing a temper tantrum cuz he’s loosing at the video game screaming and crying “DIE ALREADY!!!! DIE! DIE! DIE! I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!!”

  16. haha you hear from your docter “im sorry to say this but you are infected with sexy man voice”
    the inerveiw is funny i love the part when scott-sama says “almost as beautiful as you guys” when if that dude would have read the book it might have been insulting, maybe…. because of the whole bubble headed thing but whatever…

  18. You were great! I woke up early just to watch it. My library now has tons of copies of the entire series and the Midnighters series because they’re ALL on the summer reading lists. You’re taking over my town! haha yay

  21. OH! Guess what!? So today I went out and got the mail and I had gotten a P.B. Teen magazine -I hate how they always have the exact same stuff in them every time- and I was just flipping through the pages out of boredom and saw Uglies in the background of one of the rooms! That was kind of cool.

  22. today at my school libraray the gave us the routine lectures about Summer Reading and i was about to throw a fit when no Scott books were on the list…and then i remeber im in 7th grade and my county under estimates us and probaly put them on the 12th grade list 🙂

  24. My school doesn’t give us summer reading lists. Not like I need one to tell me what to read, that list is long enough. I am so board, it isn’t funny. Exams are coming. Kill the exams before the exams kill us.

  25. You still have exams?? When do you get out of school? I get out this thursday. We also don’t have end of the year exams, it depends what the teacher feels like doing. My english teacher and french teacher are CRAZY (dont get me wrong i like them) theres only 1 more full day of school and we are still doing work. All my other classes stopped working like the begining of last week. Last year we had to read Pool Boy over the summer which was torture! I finished it a week after school ended so i forgot what happened by the time school started. This year, my math teacher says that we are getting math hw from our 8th grade teacher for the summer, but who knows with him, he’s a LITTLE LOCO. We dont get summer reading lists. I am so glad, all the books that we usually have to read are terrible. And even if they are good everybody starts hating it because of all the packets and worksheets we have to do. Ugh, i have to go clean up the bathroom now (just had a shower). Laters

  26. I disagree about the hand gestures – they didn’t look weird at all. And it would have been stranger (I think) if you’d just been standing there without moving.

    The question seemed a really random thing to be asking authors, though, like they couldn’t come up with anything else to ask you all that would just take a minute.

    Good publicity, anyway. And well done you.

    (Also, Daleks, lol!)

  27. super fabuloso (woo im so not good with spanish)sorry disscusion about fav lil kid tv shows going on
    cuz you know what steve from blues clues isnt dead from cancer like i thought he was.Woo he actualy sings now, and he isnt bad his real name is steve burns look him up.Somehow we ended up on how most lil kid shows now focus around spanish language and culture.I only watched Dora(kinda)

  28. Flawless, Scott. Lurved it. You answered a boring question in an interesting way! Hoorah for you!

  30. i thought he was dead too until last year when we learned the truth about him singing. before that, the rumor was that he committed suicide by sticking two pencils up his nose and slamming his head on the table. i wonder who comes up with these things?

  33. Yay for Scott-la! You did great!
    I’m sorry, I can’t help but laugh about the blues clues guy… Have fun with your exams, Andrea-La! I have history tomorrow. Ugh. Got to go hit the books. Bye!

  35. I am DEFFINITLY going to fail my Social Studies exam. By fail I mean get less than 80%. That would knock me off first class honors. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Must go study now.

  37. What sucks the most is getting up at 5:30 for a swim meet…on a Saturday, and having to get up each week day at 7:45 each day for swim practice.

  39. I saw that last night! I didn’t even know you were going to be on, but I flipped on the news and shouted.

    (I scared my dad out of his nap.)

    It disappointed me that they listed you as the “Uglies” author. I was hoping that they would say he “Peeps” author, but I suppose “Uglies” has a better fandom, neh?

    Ah, well, at least I got to see you. Good job, Scott!

    Morgan would be proud.

    As would Tally.

  41. Andrea-La, please stop making us contemplate the lives (?) of quotation marks unduly. Now I’m saying that quotation marks have lives. See what you’ve done to me!?

  42. GO SCOTT-LA

    (P.S. LOVE THE HAIR) LOL

  44. wow comment 43 that name just about covers it all

    that i so weird that the camera’s move on their own. I can’t wait for all the new books coming out this summer!!!!

  45. Our summer reading list suck! Its always pointless books no one would ever read. And they are published in like, 1990. They are really old! this years is called Whirligig. Look it up. Its horrible.

  47. But quotation marks really do have lives. In a way. Except the fact that they are abiotic. But really, if they were alive, the world would be so cool.

  48. slammin!!!!!!

    It was very nerve- wrecking, and you did
    FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BTW, You didn’t really look that sick

  53. That was pretty jokes.

    I am trying to bring as many books as I can with me to NY when I go in two weeks. I don’t like hot weather in summer, and New York weather is extreme to me. So I refuse to go outside in it. (I mean, Seattle is Land of Unextreme Weather, and that is the way I like it.) Unfortunately there are now those stupid extra baggage fees. So I will have to maybe spread my books out into the bags of my brother and sister…
    Actually, that’s a really good idea. >.>

  55. I might go to new york or arkansas this july too!(but most likely arkansas to see my new neice and nefew).I go to new york every 2 or 3 years i love it.
    Ive noticed most of the books ive read havve been on the pulse it! list thing without relising it till after i buy it

  57. so i wish i could read all those comments. but it’s 11. and i still have drivers ed homework to do. grr.

    we won our game tonight!! 😀 10 to 2. (and this team was undefeated.) it was awesome. and then we all went out to DQ and had lots of ice cream. okay well i’se gotta go. laters.

  58. Awesome interview, Scott. I think you did well, and your hair looked fine, you know. I always thought there were people behind the camera’s, and where’s the bumbling Boom Man that always has grease on his shirt? Haha, I hang out with my videographer friends way too often.

    So….how’s Levithan going? Are you going to give us ANY MORE HINTS?

    Yours begging sweetly,

    Hannah

  60. nz’s weather is pretty much split personality. in summer, it is unbearably hot and sunny. in winter it is unbearably cold and rainy. there are like, three days per year when the weather is alright. and its basically 4 months of summer, 8 months of winter

  61. I have a stupid cover girl commercial stuck in my head. “Big, Bold, look at me lashes! Use the new Lash blast Brush from CoverGirl!” I have been saying that alllllll morning.

  62. Omg… I haven’t been on here in such a long time…. What have I missed? Is there any new news on when the movie is coming out??? I can’t wait until October 21st!! I am preordering it deffiently.

  63. Bran-la, we had to read Whirligig in school and it was soooo boring. I hate when teachers read the book outloud while you read it in your head. Its sooo annyoing i end up finishing the book 2 weeks before everyone else does. Today as i said earlier, we got the avalanche!!!!! 45 scoops! I almost threw up!! There were 12 of us and we finished it in 9 minutes, the record was 8, but that was for boys, so we beat the record for girls!! EWWWW just thinking about it makes me want to throw up! Ohhhh oh oh, i finally got Twilight. *does happy dance* Turns out the library had its so i got all mad for nothing. Im on chapter 6, the book, its calling me, Must. Go. Read.

    Talk to ya later &Mrgreen;

  64. eugh how do you do the green smiley, and the one that is pink and changes color??? somone help me!!

  65. love it! my daughter and i do exactly what you suggest. she reads it first, then i read it. then we gab about it for hours! she’s gotten great suggestions for other books from her friends. part of me can’t wait until she’s older, because we’re going to have VERY similar tastes in books. 😀 thank you for yours. i’m going to investigate your other series’.

  67. chapter 10!! OOOhhhhh its sooooo good. Must. Stop. Reading! I read wayyyy to fast and then i am like sooo sad when i finish it if its a single book, im sad when i finish series tooo.

  68. i finished Eclipse last night. ah! it was so good! hungry for more! tempted to go back and reread it…. but i got like a ton of new books that i want to read. so i think i will wait a month and then read it again… if i can wait anyways. but i know what you mean Tara-la i read all three books wayyy too fast and now i’m like ugh it’s over? i have to wait until August 2nd? *cry*cry* i get over it though… with more amazing books.. that probably won’t live up to the Twilight series. (sorrys to those of you who don’t like the books and are tired of hearing about them. 🙁 i know i shouldn’t talk about them here. but it’s just so hard not to… this is the only place i getta talk about my books without people telling me i’m such a nerd.)

    man. my cousin is taking forever to read Uglies. seriously! i gave them to her to borrow in April. and when i asked her last she was only 60 pages in! i soooo shouldn’t have given her all four books. what was i thinking? i bet she already lost them. rawr. i wanna get them back from her. but i don’t want to be mean. hmm..

    another game tonight… if it doesn’t start downpouring first. which it probably will because we are in a flashflood or whatever watch and a tornado watch. fun. fun.

  69. arbys put wayyyyy too much chocolate syrup in this malt. it makes me wanna gag. 🙁 bleh.

  70. I read way way way too fast. I read a book a day, and I’m always so sad when they are over. I read both twilight and new moon in one day.

  71. OMG! My cousin is driving me up a wall! She is, like, a lot older than me and she acts like my sister. And she is calling me and texting me and i am about to rip my air out! Its been almost a week now…..ahhhh…..go away! *crys*

  73. Same here, I read the whole Twilight series in three days total. I did that with the Uglies and Midnighters series too. Hmmm….they say that the first step to healing is to admit. I admit I have problems. I admit I have many. So the way I figure it, I’ve healed a lot. Like the first step x 10000000. I should be OD’d off of healing by now, heck I could be dead and not even know it!

  75. TZ they live in bald knob arkansas, has to be the silliest name ever.woo today we decided was are last real day of school because tomorrow is activity day so we have like 20 minute classes then the rest of the day we hang around, sign annuals(yearbooks) and play on giant inflatable toys.Then friday we go to wild waves well all the kids who have 2 or less detentions(lucky me i got two this year =O ).Then moday most classes will have little partys and jazz and tuesday our last day we have a giant assemble for 9th grade awards that is MANDATORY if your at school that day and its like 3 hours ugh.I dont see why we’re ending on a tuesday just wrong.But today I need to finish my ABC book for science and portfolio for english that i need to completely put together but i have all the info and worksheets.

  76. You know what i hate about itunes? They always make you download a new version. It drives my crazy. Cant i just have the old one? I kept my old one and it wouldn’t let me buy anything. I was mad. How mean!

  77. i know its always offering a new version new version new version. I just got a new ipod nano and before i could put music on to it i have to download a new version, i want to kill it

  79. A trick for dealing with “new version new version new version”:
    Make a list of all the music you want for a set period of time (for me, two months) and tell your computer not to always open iTunes when it starts up (go Start, Run, MSConfig, Startup, and uncheck iTunes. This is for Windows – I have a PC so I don’t know about Macs.) Then, when you have a good long list of songs, open iTunes, upgrade, and buy all the songs. I think upgrading three versions once every other month is a lot easier than upgrading one version every other week!
    And I thoroughly sympathize about wanting to kill computer-related stuff. Anybody want to mail me a sledgehammer?

  80. Yeah, no clue where that is Kenzie. No offense but I hate Arkansas with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. Not all aspects of it….just a lot, but I have my reasons. Traumatic reasons that involve bugs (HUGE freaking bugs) snakes and a buncha other creepy crawly things, and people that hate my guts just because I was from a different state and had a “funny” accent in their perspective, and did I mention bugs? Now bugs don’t usually bother me, but those bugs are NOT freaking Normal! And so yeah….it was not a fun time being there.

  81. whenever upgrades appear on my computer i always click remind me later.

    hmm.. it’s tornadoes time here. i was taking a nap and my dad yells at me “KAYLEE GET DOWN HERE!” and i run down the stairs and he yells “GET UNDER THE STAIRCASE!” so i stand under the staircase for like five minutes blinking a flash light on and off. fun stuff. and now i think were out of danger for a little while anyways. now theres thunderous booms going off in the sky. (reminds me of the Cullens playing baseball. 😀 hehe.) okay. well i gotta go again. moms worried.

  82. Its all clear over here. Nice and clear. But it is getting a little dark. Not really dark but the sun is going down.

    I bored. I will now balance CDs on my finger.

  83. EW dont tell me your talking about chiggers(i seriously just suddered) im not gonna go into detail. OR are you talking about how their bugs are overall big

  85. Like that one time when I brought a cockroach into the school and everyone was afraid of me…good times, good times. And that other time when I got really mad at the boys at school for killing the worms. I mean, they have happy wormy lives to live out and don’t deserve to be cut in half by a shovel.

  89. Oh look, I have a dictonary right in front of me. They sound pretty cool. I still like cockroaches though. And worms…and scaring people with cockroaches. And spiders. And snakes.

  98. I think quotation marks would go on strike. If you were a quotation mark, wouldn’t you get sick of saying other people’s words for them?

  99. yes i would
    thats why i wouldnt want to be a mirror. For a project for drama we had to be a object and do a monologe from its perspective. I was going between mirror and oven. I did oven

  100. If you want to here my total opinion on the matter, click on my name and you will go to my blog where I thought this out. Please comment, it makes me excited.

  103. Actually i have look at your blog, very interesting.
    Personaly I would be jealous if i was a apostraphe, because they dont have anyone while quotation marks do

  104. You find my blog interesting? I like that word. It means not normal, but not weird. It means, that you like it. I think that the world is seriously messed up. I think I would like to be a frog. Or maybe a flying fish. What would you rather be?

  105. I would most like to be a question mark. I love questions. Although they keep me up at night and sometimes make me cry, I love them. The question is more important than the answer.

  106. questions get you farther than answers. I want to be the easter bunny i think it would be the best your known but not bothered, plus your cute and furry

  108. I’m talking about chiggers and ticks and locusts and cicadas and spiders that are so giant that it’s just plain not funny anymore. My poor dog was so traumatized by all the freaking ticks and stuff we had to pull off of her! My poor puppy! And I’m not afraid of snakes as long as they’re not poisonous. Most of those I encountered were indeed very poisonous. One thing I did like though was frogs! The tiny baby ones are SO cute! And the fireflies are pretty cool too. And I swear the weather is freaking bipolar! In the summer it can be sunny and like over a hundred degrees and then you blink and there are freaking black clouds and its raining like heck!

  117. Okay so say you lived your whole life thinking, all the choices you made-good or bad- they were yours, and you’re happy with them, thinking all your thoughts and feelings were yours, but it turns out you’ve lived your whole life as nothing more than….a figment of someone’s imagination. A puppet to someone else’s desires, and you never knew, not until your last days when you’re in danger of…well I wouldn’t say dying, more of….ceasing to exist. But there’s something you can do about it, to save the life of the person who’s puppet you are, saving them and ultimately yourself. But now you know, and knowing that you’ll never be anything for yourself, you’ll never have your own memories or ideas or your own life for that matter, would you do it? just to go back to that? or would you sit back and watch it end? Because you were cheated out of an existence for crying out loud! What would you do?

  120. Imaginary is more important, it’s what you make it not what others decide for you. But in a sense, reality is imaginary because all it is, is people’s dreams coming true. But a lot of the time, those dreams happen to be nightmares.

  123. Oh jeez
    um Id save them. They were not cruel, they made your life enjoyable, and they gave you good memories and made you make good decisions.Although I wouldnt have a choice in the matter in the rest of my life i would know i would enjoy life.Plus i think it would make life more exciting not knowing were or what will be happen next

  129. Yeah Kenzie, but not all people have good memories and had good lives, what if the person was cruel and you didn’t know it? Cruelty is a loose term.You can’t judge a person that easily.

  134. Our souls i beleive are the only thing we control the rest or actions feeling ect, are controled by something different, i dont know what though

  135. Acorn theory. As in we start out as acorn and grow into a tree. Just we have roots and the roots determin us. But people can’t see the roots, making us all the same. We can’t show our roots until we die and go to heaven. Or until a crises occurs and we are uprooted. See, we are all acorns. This is also used as a metiphore for Christians and faith journys. Just in bible class, they never really talked about being uprooted…

  136. Souls are so important. They don’t die. Just we don’t show them. We don’t show our roots. We don’t show who we are. We are in one messed up society and are all robots to it, whether we like it or not. But maybe that is for the better.

  139. Now I am crying. I wish that we were no longer robots to society. I wish that we could somehow change the world. In the Bible it says that we can. I know what I have to do but I don’t know how to do it and I have only told 2 people about it. Trends suck. Commercialism sucks. Our society sucks. The world is so perfect, but people aren’t. The problem is that we are people.

  140. ARE WORLD SUCKS
    that is the truth.
    I try an exspress myself patching my shoes, neon colors with blacks sweater armwarmers that are very warm and comfy(i have em on right now)but i dont think its TRUELY me

  142. If we try to not be normal, we are still far off from ourselves. I pretend to be so many things, but so rarely are they me. I am most honest on my blog, but that is writing. Writing and living are both so different. This makes me so sad. Maybe I should try to change the world. The only problem with the ripple effect is that it only goes on for so long, then it stops.

  146. That nice. Really nice. Great minds think alike. The thing is that stupid minds think alike too. So, which ones are we? I would prefer great. Remember in Uglies how Tally kept saying the beauty was evelution and all that? The thing is, I don’t believe in evelution. What about you?

  148. I definitly believe in God. But it’s hard when you think about where did God come from. Life is confusing. I kinda hope that death is less confusing, not like I’m planning on dying soon. But I’m not afraid of it.

  150. my sis has a great quote
    “What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.” -Albert Einstein
    its very interesting

  153. Of couse God had choice in the creation. He invented choice to begin with. Or at least I think He did. But we have creation when making a school project, right? Therefore God had choice when making the world.

  156. Maybe not everything has a beginning. Or maybe we just need faith and patience and we will find out when we die. I partly look forward to death because I want to have my questions answered.

  160. Really, I am totally conviced that God is real. Every day is a mirical. Every wind, every leaf is God’s work. We can’t be an accident.

  177. I have a question. Do you think that (not noing if all of yall are Americans) the US by going to war is actually trying to get land?

  179. no not at all its a personal thing more so
    (yes im american) we havent had anything like war or attacks in the US for a long time. and the last time it was us battling ourselves

  180. Haha. True. I hate war though. Like, why do we care what others do? Its THEIR country not ours. Its like someone coming and telling you what to do in your house. Like they own it.

  183. Does nobody remember 9/11 anymore? War sucks like crap. We all know that. But we as humans have a fairly strong sense of self preservation and pride therefore as they defaced and weakened our country our natural reaction is to defend ourselves, to fight back. And I totally understand where you’re coming from when you say that Bran-la, it is their country and not ours to control, but before you jump to conclusions like that you should do your homework on the subject and then you’d see that there was a reason. There’s a reason for all actions and countereffects right behind them on the freaking assembly line of life. The former ruler of the country we’re currently at war with could be considered a dictator in most’s eyes, he’s no longer in power, which is good because innocent people were dying because of him, but like I said there’s a countereffect to that. There are two main religious groups there that have been at war with eachother for many many many years and now that one of them is weakened the other tries to take this advantage to gain power. So war picks up between them again, the effect? More and more deaths. Now there is a president there, and a new democracy but some are fighting back because they are used to the old ways. Another thing as humans is that we get complacent and hate change, fight back against it. We need to be there, our military, so that there can be enforcement in that change and that there can be freedom, and give the people there hope, we can’t undo what’s been done, but we can attempt to change it for future generations, giving them stability. And yes, war is definitely a harsh way to act upon this, and actions are most usually harsh, but we’re not perfect, nobody is and this is our best, even though our best happens to be a half-a** attempt at it. It’s what we can do. This, coming from the little sister of a U.S. Soldier.

  184. I 100% agree TZ
    (my sisters boyfriend is in the military hes like a brother)
    I very much dislike bush but i support our troops.
    because you can talk about how bad the war is, or how bad our president is because I’ll most definitly agree, but when you bad mouth the people fighting for your rights along with millons of others for no self-gain is wrong. Think to yourself “would you be able to do what they do every day”.I know I couldn’t but I’m glad there are people that can.
    ps:im glad for a new president

  185. Ya, but look at it this way….the new president can’t just make it all go away, he or she can’t just pull the troops out. My brother is on call for his second tour of duty overseas…and it scares me. But that’s the biggest reason why I have such a strong opinion on this matter, it changes how you see things, when you wake up in the middle of the night because you don’t know wether or not they’ll be coming home.

  187. I’ve been on tv myself, and I agree, things seem different. Time is short, and the cameras are a bit creepy, even though the ones where I was didn’t actually move that much. Still, its an awesome experience.

  226. Well, back to various deep and meaningful conversations…
    I don’t believe in God. For me, seeing is believing. I used to believe in God when I was little, but that was back before I knew that awful things could happen.
    And war is an awful thing. Hundreds of people die, and by the time the war is over, it ceases to be about the thing that caused it in the first place. World War 1, for example, was started over Serbian rebels killing an Austro-Hungarian Important Person. By the end, the war continuted just to see who could win. Neither side was willing to give up, so it went on and on. All wars are like that, really. They’re started over some cause or another, but by the time it’s all over, you can see that it continued just because human beings will never give up. I think wars would be a lot less bloody and a lot shorter if, after a few months, the head people sat down and asked, “Now, what was this war about again?” In Iraq, the answer would be Saddam Hussein. Now they can ask, “Did we achieve our goal?” In Iraq, yes. Saddam Hussein is dead. Iraq has a democracy. So why are we still hanging out there? I think the answer is because the people in charge can’t bear to admit that we’ve done all we can, even if that means there are still troubles that we are unable to resolve. The United States is not all-powerful. It’s time to wean the Iraqi people off of our help. We can’t support them forever. The world just can’t work that way.
    And society does have problems. Always has. Always will. And that’s because, like Andrea-La said, people are not perfect. Whenever someone does change the world, a new system simply falls into place that is as flawed and demanding as the last one was. But changing the world is hard because the majority of people are not smart enough to see that there are problems. The majority of people smart enough to see problems are either too lazy or too pessimistic to attack them. And almost all – and usually all – of the remaining people don’t have enough resources or influence to make a difference. There is really no way to create a perfect society unless human beings somehow attain perfection. That’s why utopia is a flawed concept, because when someone starts creating what they percieve as a utopian community, they usually have to force everyone in their community to believe the same things they do, to think the same way they do, and, ultimately, to be the same kind of person they are. Then other people come along and either a) scream “Dictator!!!” and violently crush the so-called utopia, imposing their own form of leadership (which brings us back to the whole war thing) or b) start showing people what is wrong with their so-called utopia, leaving them to “voluntarily” choose the new form of leadership.
    And all this because we are only human.

  227. Eep! Okay now my head is filling with like a million page speech to retaliate that with, give me a sec to sort things out with my mind then I shall begin. (And yes that was an exaggeration)

  228. Okay, *breathe in*….*breathe out*….k, I’m good now. It makes me really sad when I hear about someone who believed in God and then at one point stopped believing. But really, you say seeing is believing and I want you to realize that, that concept is flawed too. Do you believe that you have a mind, something that enables you to think for yourself? Can you see it? No. With the naked eye? No. With a microscope? No. You can see your brain, but you can’t see your mind. Psychologists, the best of the best have been trying to figure this out for hundreds of years, but it’s still a no go. It’s there, we know it’s there, but you can’t see it. So since seeing is believing for you, does that mean you don’t have a mind? And you say it was before you knew that awful things could happen, but there’s a reason awful things happen. Without the sin and bad things, would we ever know the extent of the feelings of good things? good deeds? God had a plan. Without letting sin into this world there wouldn’t be a way to know if we were true believers, that truly loved him, because without the other choice, the other way in the path, we would know no other, so we were given the choice of the other path: turning away from him. So many people that were once followers, believers, turn away because it’s easier. It’s easier to just say it’s false than to trust, especially when you’re a person that’s been effected by awful things more than others, it’s hard to have faith still, to trust that there’s something better out there for you and believe that someone loves you and cares about you. But let me ask you and those people this,the same question I’ve asked myself, would you rather believe that everyone is just as evil and tormented as you’ve seen and that everything is just plain terrible in this world and no one cares, because that’s how it was is and always will be, or would you decide to lift your head and open your eyes to the good things too, and hope and believe for a better future and know that out there somewhere is a God that loves you even though at times it’s hard and it seems like he’s far away, out of your reach, he’s right there next to you, all you have to do is accept it and believe and open your heart and SEE it even though you can’t see it literally with your eyes. And just know that I haven’t lived a cushy life always as some of you may expect by my point of view I have on this, it’s been hard ,sometimes I’ve felt like a terrible person because why else would I deserve all this crashing down upon me, all the weight I hold on my shoulders, because the weight of the world is a heavy burdern to bear when you bear it alone, bad bad things have happened, and I know more bad things will come, because for every mountain that I stand tall on top of is another valley, waiting to engulf me, but my faith stays strong because as long as there is a bad thing waiting for me, it’s counterpart is right behind it, and that’s what I truly believe and I hope you can see my point.

  229. You guys added a lot of commets. Still disgussing the society thing? You could go all day with that! Haha. But its fun to get into deep topics. I like it. But i cant stay long, im going to be hanging out with my mom. Having fun and what not. Talk with you guys later!

  230. I have a….mental picture for some people. God believers or non.

    think of our souls like a vase. Lets call it the Grace Vase (GV). Btw, it is a clear vase. Ok and lest say our sin are rocks. Big ugly rocks. So lets say i lied to my mom cause i didnt want her to no i ripped her dress. Add a rock. So then i tell my mom i am going to my friends and i go to a party. Add a rock. And i keep lieing and lieing and i do a lot of bad stuff. soon the really pretty vase is all dirty and filled with these nasty rocks. Ok so now i have this really big heavy nasty soul on my back. and i have to carry around all those rocks and the guilt. and it hurts. Thats what sin does.

    there is another mental thing that was on the internet ill try and find it. It is realy good.

  235. Wow thats deep
    when people ask me if i beleive in god i really say i dont know. because I dont. There are times when I look at the world I’m sure hes real, but others I can only hope, because I don’t know for sure. I’ll tell you somthing. I dont go to church every sunday or even once a month maybe once or twice a year with my whole family for a holiday or other special event. But when I sit there all I can really think is, how do they know this is true. I’ve never really thought of relgion, its not important to me,I have never read the bible I dont know why maybe I’m scared. But I have my beliefs though they arn’t entirerly clear.
    My friends are pretty religious though and the one contraversal thing they hate talking about with me is gay marriage, because I support gay marriage and they dont but personaly I like talking about contaversy

  236. Look, all you non-Christians. If you don’t believe in God, I’m not going to force it on you. I will simply state a point that was given to me by a forward email. So, this it :”A guy went to his hairdresser, and they started talking. They were talking about religion when the hairdresser said that he didn’t believe in God because of all the terribleness in the world. So, the guy getting his hair thought about it and said that he didn’t believe in hairdressers. The hairdresser was astonished and stated the obvious by saying ‘I’m right here’. So the guy said back to him ‘but look out the window at all the people with terrible haircuts. If hairdressers really exsisted, there wouldn’t be that problem’.”. See, the thing is, not everyone comes to God for help, and even if they do, sometimes God wont grant them help because they want it for the wrong reasons, or we need to learn something. I mean, if you were a hairdresser, would you like it if someone came in and said “Give me a haircut or else”? See my point?

  237. hm that guy that was getting his hair cut sounded kinda mean, i wouldnt want someone saying i didnt exsist.
    but of course all the people who have terrible hair cuts CHOOSE to be that way just as they choose to believe in god or not

  238. The thing is, I refuse to believe that the whole world is an accident. I can’t even believe that they teach us that at school. The thing is, people believe in evolution and people believe in Jesus. Why do they pick to teach evolution in school? They are both different beliefs. One believes in God and one is science. It’s unfair that they make it that way in schools.

  239. Our world has too many problems. God can fix them. He’s probably yelling at us how to. God has been yelling at me how to. Just he thing is, I’ve kinda ignored Him. I worked on what He told me to do yesterday. The problem is, TIME. But my question is why on earth do we value science more than God. I could have been working on what God told me to do, but instead I had to study. Isn’t this a problem? Isn’t this world messed up?

  241. But that is because seeing and touching are over-rated. The thing with God is that He touches our spiret and He talks to us through emotions. People relie too much on science. Sure we can see/touch it, but we can’t feel in our soul that it is true. And our souls are who we really are, so it should mean MORE to feel it in our souls rather than our skin.

  242. Dude. you can’t see and touch science. I don’t want to be a part of this argument (what does God vs. Science have to do with Scott-sama being on TV?), but when’s the last time you touched gravity?

  243. I know what you mean. But we can see the effects. Just like how we see the EFFECTS of God. See what I mean? And why do you not want to be in this conversation? Everything has everything to do with God. We believe in science and it’s so stupid. I think that the world has definetly regressed. But God is totally real. Read the Bible. That has everything you could possibly need to know.

  245. Nothing explains everything. NOTHING! Nothing can’t even explain nothing! And NOTHING doesn’t exsist! The thing is, God will explain everything. We just have to wait. For now, we just believe in Him and grow. Growing and sharing are our only jobs here on earth.

  247. Andrea-la, at my Church they did a skit like the hairdresser scenario. And here is what I have to say (again) Kenzie, I think the reason you’re not sure what you believe, is cuz you admitted that you didn’t go to Church often, you haven’t read the Bible, and I’m not knocking you for it, I’m just saying, do you expect yourself to believe in something that you know virtually nothing about? And I agree with Andrea-la 100%, completely.

  251. Okay on the subject of the war….
    We went to war to help the Iraqis (sorry about spelling…) because we care about other people in the war. We aren’t gaining land, we’re helping them with their new goverment and protecting them. It’s dangerous, but I’d rather die for complete strangers than live knowing thousands…millions even… are dying and nobody is helping them. They may be from different parts of the world, or believe different things than I do, but people are people, bad choices and all. And I absolutely disagree with the death sentence, whether government believes they should die for what they did or not. (As a Christian, I believe alot like Andrea-la.) God created us in his image, and wants us to be as much like him as we can. God forgives no matter what, and values EVERY LIFE. He forgives no matter what they’ve done. And hanging someone or killing them for something they did is wrong. Anyone have anything to add?

    Oh and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog and all your points on it, Andrea-la. You and I believe many of the same things.

  252. I believe i know all i need to know about god
    I’ve heard stories(for lack of better words) and i just need a solid foundation for my beleive to be full

  253. I believe that if God thought we needed to know something else He would tell us. The reason so many people don’t believe is that there “is not enough proof”. There isn’t any proof that God doesn’t exsist. You can’t proove that something doesn’t exsist.

  266. I am so bad at consintrating on studying. Sure, I can study all day, but when it’s night, and I’ve swam for 2 hours, and been at school all day, all I want to do is relax.

  268. Andrea-la I love your points. And you know what you’re talking about, unlike ppl my age… how old are you? I’m 13, so i know fairly well what i believe. Here’s something I believe- what if God left us all our scientific clues, about how we apparently evolved from monkeys and dinosaurs were here for millions of years, to test us. if we believe in Him even though science and the “thinking” people tell us what science said is true, it shows our dedcation to Him. And many people ask, “If God is so powerful, why doesn’t he just make us believe him instead of sending us to Hell because we don’t believe?” GOD LOVES US. God loves us so much, he gave us CHOICES. We can believe what we want because if we couldn’t, God’s love wouldn’t be true. you know how in movies people let the eprson they love go because they love them and don’t want to strangle them (metaphorically speaking)? That’s what God’s like. If someone doesn’t give you choices, there wouldn’t be so much love.

  269. I’m only 14, and no one listens to my opinions. I agree with you. But really, I’m a pretty agreeable person. Metephores are nice aren’t they? They are like really short parables.

  270. Okay so on gay/lesbian marrige…
    God created a man and a woman. he created them so, when in intercoarse (trying not to sound…well, you know…) they are one, and in marrige they are also one. When gay/lesbian people are in intercoarse, they cant be one. They are two separate people. I’m also against divorce unless adultry came into the picture, as it says in the Bible. When you marry someone, you become one with the person. Divorce simply legally stops your marrige. It doesn’t split the one. However, if, say, the woman (trying not to say the man, even though that’s normally the case…*stifles a laugh*), “did it” with another man, she apparently managed to become one with another man, yet without her other half. Therefore, the married couple is no longer one and should be split. If a divorce is needed, the two should go to the pastor/priest and confess or do what is needed to gain forgivness. If you dont have a pastor/priest, you should get one or you’ll be in trouble when death comes, as death is unexpected. 😉

  272. Andrea-la do you read Brio magazine? It’s like American Girl but for girls our age and is a Christian magazine. I love it, and will continue my subscription as long as I can. Also, I’ve heard of these Christian conferences where non-believers ask some tough questions and believers answer them. You’d be perfect for it. And I’m sure that once I actually READ the Bible and do a little reasearch, I could do well. My brother went from a believer to a nonbeliever, and has a daughter who he had before he was even engaged. Fortuanately, he’s getting married to the mother of his daughter next year. I’m secretly eafraid my younger sister will also stop believing, and my other older brother (who’s younger than the nonbelieving one) is on the verge of non-believing I think. I’m trying as hard as I can, and I’m the hardest form of Chrstianity- Catholic. Yeah, we have some beliefs different from other Chrstians, but I feel exactly the way you do except from a few differences.
    Feel free to ask me questions, i gtg to bed bc it’s late 🙂
    Nitenite! :mrgreen:

  276. Oh I wanted to make a quick point- Scott-la, you’re a non-believer right? Well you’re not gonna ban us from the blog or anything are you? Cause that would SERIOUSLY stink. Okay, i’m good now. Night!

  277. idk i don’t care bout it if thats what the person wants then they should have it

  279. god doesnt make mistakes so if someone is gay/lesbian they were made that way, they wernt a mistake. Also god wants us to be happy so if its with someone of the same gender so be it. As I’ve heard many times, god will forgive you for anything and it seems he loves you for whoever you are and whatever you’ve done so why cant people accept that to.I had a heated dissusion about this once i researched.
    one of my favorite quotes; Will god punish me for loving or you for hating.
    (to tell you the truth, i have lesbian aunts and I love them very much)
    our highschool is a very supporting highschool for gay/lesbian. they have a gay/straight allience and my sisters french teachers gay.

  280. Hmmm….on the gay/lesbian topic, personally, I think it’s wrong, but I’m not going to argue with someone about it because I’ve seen it go too far to the point that people have said they are all going to hell because of it and I don’t believe that’s true. If they are believers in God and have a relationship with God they have just as much right as anyone else to get into heaven and I don’t think they’d be discriminated against by God as some think. And on the divorce topic, I totally don’t agree. If circumstances come that you’re no longer happy with that person, that you realize you don’t really belong with that person, and it’s a mutual agreement, then divorce is perfectly fine in my book. Just sometimes it doesn’t work out, you find that you’re not compatible after the marriage and well, that’s that. I don’t think you should have to live your whole life with that mistake hanging over your head. But that’s just what I think. And Emily-la, my friend gets that magazine and I think it rocks and I hope everything works out with your family.

  281. I used to have to get up at 04:00 every morning. But then I guess that’s one of the great things about being a writer: you never have to show up for an early shift. Anyway, you did good.
    P.S. definately right about the creepy cameras…

  283. Oh and Kenzie, God doesn’t make mistakes, but PEOPLE do. The people agreed to the marrige, but that doesn’t mean that God agrees with them.

  284. wow, i dont go on for 3 days and theres like 200 more comments. I dont know if i believe in God or not. Like i go to church about twice a year, but i go to religous school and im making my confirmation next year. So i guess i do believe in God, i read this series (Christy Miller series) and it was like focused about how this one girl gives her life to God. After that i totally believed in God, but that like faded as i read new books. You see, books influence what i think, like i really wanted to be a wizard after i finished Harry Potter, and i really wanted the Olympian gods to be real after i read Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I could talk about my how i am connected to books for hours. But, back to the subject of war, i think a country should only get involved if something terrible is going on. Like we finished studying genocide a month ago, and the world never stepped in to help, until it was almnost over. And the world keeps saying never again, and now, look whats happening in Darfur! The world is getting ahead of itself. In some ways, i think that we were smarter when we were hunter/gatherers and such. We came up with new ways to get things we need, instead of just walking to the store across the street. We learned how to build water systems and all the things that we take advantage of today.

    on a different note, SUMMER VACATION!!! No more school!!!! You know how i was talking about that ice cream that we had that had 48 scoops?? Well this one girl who nobody likes, diana, first of alll she invited herself to come with us, and then she needed a ride home, AND she was sick and didnt tell us til after eatiing it, so now all of us are sick, thanks to her!!! my throat kills and i had a TERRIBLE headache last night thanks to all the screaming when we played the love game at a birthday party. ANd i have a stuffy nose, so much for a great start to the summer.

  287. Okay, Andrea-la I have a couple questions: Where did you get yor website, and did you have to pay extra to have it so that the url is whatever you want (i.e. it isn’t like freewebs.com/blahblahblah…)??? I think I might start a blog thing, hopefully there we can continue our christianity/war/other belief stuff there. I love talking about those topics with people, i don’t know why it’s just so interesting to me. And Im sure scott-la would like us to talk about things even slightly relevent to his blog entry here… lol.
    RAWR RAWR RAWR. I was writing a story in this notebook that I left on the floor, and when we moved and my mom was packing she put it in a box. I don’t know what box. SHE doesn’t know what box. She says she remembers putting it in a box. I was only like three chapters into the story but I want that notebook lol. I really feel like writing and we CANT FIND THE STUPID NOTEBOOK @_@!!!

  288. I agree with Andrea-la. And T&Z, I’m happy to say that my family has only two divorced people, and at least one of them did what i told you about and went to the church about it for forgivness. I find it sad that almost EVERY SINGLE ONE of my friends is in a divorced family, my best friend has parents and both grandparents divorced. She admitted she hates it, too.

  289. Oh, and it’s my mom’s brother and sister, not immediate family. If you’re going to make the choice of marrige, you should be sure they’re who you want to spend the rest of your life with.

  290. okay, freezing a Milky Way candy bar in the freezer for almost 24 hours may seem like a cool treat at the time, but DON’T. It took like a half hour to thaw, and was pretty hard to eat O_o. But yet it was fun. lol.

  291. Wow I’m 15 hours behind of scott-la. Actually, it’s winter in Aussieland. So he’s here, in America and on eastern time like me. Therefore, scott-la might be eating lunch at this very moment!!!!

  293. OK. Here is a further explanation of why, for me, awful stuff means I’m a nonbeliever.
    It’s not just global awful stuff. It’s personal. I’m the kind of person who needs a lot of emotional support. My parents know that. Yet they don’t provide it. (“How old are you? Fourteen? Because you’re acting like a two-year-old!” This is my mom whenever I cry.) Sometimes they’re even mean to me. Like, really mean. In the past week alone, my dad has called me a brat, a b****, and a freak. My mom’s called me a brat, a jerk, and a freak. The only reason my mom hasn’t hit me with my hairbrush is because I’ve hidden it. They’ve done this stuff for quite a while now. When I was younger and still believed, I’d pray for hours on end, asking God to please somehow turn my parents into nice people. He never did. I tried praying for nicer parents, being taken away from my family by Child Services, or somehow having our family return to our pre-Hinsdale happiness. (Hinsdale is a very rich town where we are not financially equal to the other citizens, making me a total outcast and my parents stressed. We used to live in Oak Lawn, where we were actually one of the richer families.) None of my prayers ever happened. For years I’d pray, then cry myself to sleep, but my life continued to suck. My belief gradually waned until, now, I don’t believe in God at all.
    And it’s not like I never have exposure to religion. My parents are Presbytarian and are trying to convince me that I am too, so they drag me every Sunday to church and Fridays once a month to the teen program. I’ve read the Bible all the way through more than once. Religion is a frequent topic at my lunch table. None of this can convince me that there is a God Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth.
    I know there are lots of stories about people in less-than-desirable situations whose belief only solidifies, but those people are all strong inside. I’m not. I’m very weak emotionally, and every time something hurts me, I only become weaker.
    And, Tally & Zane, you asked me whether I have a mind separate from my brain just because I can’t see it? Maybe I don’t. I think “mind” is just a term for the part of your brain in charge of thinking.

  294. Oh, and Emily-wa? To answer your question for Andrea-La:
    You can get a blog for free at multiple places. Some common ones are WordPress (www.wordpress.com – that’s what I use) and Blogger (www.blogger.com – that’s what Andrea-La uses). Good luck.

  295. Amy, I want to let you know I’m praying for you. And you should also know that you have to help God to get your prayers answers. God answers every prayer. Here’s a summary of a skit I saw that might help.
    A man lived in a city surround by water. One day, a storm came. The water raised higher and higher, flooding the town quickly. The man prayed to God, “Please, Lord, save me from this flood!”
    A police officer came knocking on the door. “You need to get out, the flood is getting worse.”
    “No, I’m waiting for God to help me,” the man replied, and closed the door. He saw water coming through into the house and climbed to the second sotry of his house as the water rose to cover the front door. He went to a room with a window and say some large boats full of people. One of the boats came by and knocked on the window. The man opened it, and the leader in the boat said to the man, “Come on the boat with us. We are all going to a nearby town where there is no flooding!”
    “No, I’m waiting for God. he’ll come rescue me,” the man replied, and shut the window as he saw the water rising and flooding in. he climbed out the window and onto the roof, waiting for God to save him. Another boat came by and offered to rescue him, but again the man declined and said that God would save him. As the water rose, the man could go no higher and drowned. When he went to meet God, he asked him, “Lord, why didn’t you save me? I prayed to you and yet you allowed me to die!”
    “I did try to help you. I was the police officer who went to your door, and I was both of the men in the boats fofering to take you to safety. You declined after I offered you help.”
    I think this is your situation Amy. And if your parents are doing any harm to you, report it. God isn’t going to just make your parents disappear- you have to help him. He’ll be the social worker who helps you, or the friend you need to get through this.

  300. That was really good advie, emily-wa. i really want to get a blog but if i do im afraid my dad might find it in the adress bar and well… you all know what would happen next. I am soo stressed. I am leaving for Michigan sunday and i have SOOOO much to do. Its a good thing schools out or i would DIE!!!! Today i have to finish packing, it looks like 100 bombs went of in my room, work on my friends gat mitzvah scrapbook, and get my digital camera. Tomorrow i have to go to my friends service, then leave as soon as it ends to go late to a bar mitzva, and then i have like 3 hours until my friends party. And on sunday i have a violin lesson and then i have to drive 5 hours to michigan. And on top of that i am sick, you all know the story. Ughhh! Who knew the start of the summer good be so stressful?

    Amy, if i prayed to God a lot then i would be praying for you right now.

    I just remembered of a really sad book/series by David Pulman that i read. It is A child called “IT”, The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave. It is about how the author was abused as a child and he was finally taken away from his mother and how we went through living with many foster families, how his dad, the only one who cared about him, died, and then how he broke the chain of abuse. It is sooo sad and i almost cried at some parts.

  303. I’d thank you guys for praying for me if I thought it would do any good.
    Emily-wa, I would turn my parents in if I had any proof. On the surface, we look like the most functional family ever. We go on vacation every summer (pure torture for me), my parents come to all my school events, etc. They even maintain a facade that I’m the messed-up one and have subjected me to various forms of torturous therapy over the years (needles in arms, people measuring my brainwaves, succeeding only in giving me headaches and messing up my hair, people touching me weirdly and saying it’s going to help me, people forcing me to face my worst fears, and a bunch of others I can’t name). I’ve told all my friends at school about my parents. They don’t believe me. I’ve told school social workers. They don’t believe me, either. I’ve even tried telling the police after I delayed coming home one day because my mom had told me I had to call the doctor and say, “I’m a freak because I won’t turn the lights on early in the morning. Can I make an appointment?” and that I had to pay for the appointment she was forcing me to make. When I delayed coming home, my parents called the police and when they asked me why I hadn’t come home, I tried to explain. They didn’t believe me and said I had to go to counseling.
    So you see, I’ve tried praying. I’ve tried taking care of it by myself. No luck. No God.

  304. Amy, if what you’re saying is true then you need some patience is all. I promise, things will get better if you keep trying, praying, and believing. I cant even imagine going through all that, and I honestly can say that i hope you find your way back to God. And there is something wrong with the police if they wont do anything to help someone who’s reporting abuse. Have you talked to a school councerlor about this? Their JOB is to help you, and they’ll believe you, I’m sure.
    I believe you, and would do whatever I could if I could to help you.

  305. me too. my computer froze and then unfroze and then froze all over again. are you guys still on? im sry if you are and i dont answer, it might freeze again

  306. *sighs* I’m going to say this and use my little friend I like to call Caps lock but just know I’m not trying to be mean at all. LIFE SUCKS LIKE FREAKING MONKEY CRAP SOMETIMES, NO ACTUALLY A LOT OF TIMES, AND SOME WITH THE INSIGHT TO IT MIGHT GO AS FAR AS SAYING MOST OF THE TIME. ITS JUST HOW IT IS, AND YOU SAY THAT YOU’RE A PERSON THAT NEEDS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, WELL HUN, OPEN YOUR EYES PLEASE CUZ WE’RE TRYING TO GIVE IT TO YOU RIGHT NOW. IT MIGHT NOT BE IN THE FORM YOU EXPECTED OR WANTED, HECK WE DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU, BUT FROM WHAT YOU TOLD US, IT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE YOU’RE A BAD PERSON AT ALL, AND YOU DON’T DESERVE THE CRAP THAT’S GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE, NOT ONE BIT, BUT SEEING AS I’M GONNA BELIEVE YOU’RE A GOOD PERSON IT’S NOT GONNA BE FAIR WHEN SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENS AND SAY YOU PASS AWAY, AND YOU TURNED AWAY FROM GOD, IT WON’T BE RIGHT THAT IT HAPPENED JUST CUZ OF OTHER PEOPLE’S MISTAKES WITH YOUR LIFE. AND YOU’LL HAVE THE CHANCE TO CHANGE THE THINGS GOING ON, THERE WILL BE A WAY. RIGHT NOW IT’S PROBABLY NOT VERY CLEAR TO YOU WHAT THAT WAY IS, BUT IT WILL BE ONCE YOU STEP UP AND TAKE IT. That’s it. No one can force you to believe anything, it’s your own choice, it’s a personal choice and nobody should pressure you. I hope once you choose, if you haven’t already that you’re happy with your choice, and reflect on it, you can always change your mind before it’s too late.

  307. that was um… very interesting TZ. Life isnt fair, but we have to live with it. Like how somebody *cough*diana*cough* has the nerve to eat a shared ice cream when shes sick and get everyone else sick. Being sick sucks so fricken much

  308. I have to go and think about what people have said… including Tally & Zane’s friend Caps Lock. I will think of something to say about all of the opinions and I’ll be back tomorrow to say it… since my mom’s hand is about two feet from the plug of the computer.

  313. i am so bored right now im like walking around my house doing the stupidest things to keep my occupied. Cant it be sunday????????????????? Does anyone here have aim or bebo???????? if you do please tell me. I am candycraze241 on aim and lgagymnast88 on bebo.

  315. actually i do have one, but i dont usually go on it. Until now!
    I g2g work on that scrapbook

    Talk to ya later ;Mr.Green;

  316. &Mr.Green;
    &mr.green;
    &MrGreen;
    &Mrgreen;
    &Mr.green;
    Did any of those work?

    If they didnt plz tell me how to do it

  321. “Note my puffy hair. At the very last second—literally as behind-the-camera guy was counting down with his fingers—I reached up and puffed my hair. What was I thinking?”

    For some reason I find that so hilarious.

    That summary was indeed hyper-distilled! And I couldn’t agree more: the more people are reading it, the better a book gets. One of my favorite things to do (especially while reading a Westerfeld book) is discuss it with my book friends. When no one else knows what you’re talking about, it’s like your own personal bubble of literary awesomeness.

    And there’s nothing better than an inside joke about hoverboards and SpagBol!

  322. My mom doesn’t know about my blog. I haven’t told her because the only reason I have a blog is that I can type way faster than write.

  324. haha nice Andrea-la
    I tried to not tell my mom about something like a myspace I had, and i knew I wasn’t supposed to have it so i didn’t tell her.
    my evil sister told her and i was grounded. I was then mad at myself more than mom and dad- i knew i wasn’t supposed to have it, and i though (and still think) myspace stuff is stupid and just a way for some homocidal maniac to staulk you and rape and/or kill you. But hey, whatever, if you want to do all that just so people can know you’re alive, fine.

  328. Cool. This weekend I’m studying for exams til my head explodes, because if/when it explodes, I wont have to actually take exams because I’ll be in a mental hospital.

  330. Lucky you. I don’t get a summer reading list from my school, so I don’t need to worry about that. All I need to worry about is exams.

  331. i am just wondering but do you guys ever get scared that some creepy guy/girl will see your blog or find your email adress and try to track you or something? i have always been scared about stuff like that.

  332. Oh, I don’t give out info like that. The most I’ve ever given out was on here you know my name, friend’s names and i said I was in KY. Oh yea, that’s really a staulkable thing 😉
    As for email, i dont really have personal stuff on there. I think I may have had a gmail picture of me, but i probably only let friends see it, and I’ve seen almost all of my gmail friends face-to-face. So i’m covered 🙂

  333. I don’t even give out my email. (usually) Also, who on earth would want to track ME? You know, other than the guys in the white clokes who think I’m insane because of my obvious facination with the metiphores of quotation marks.

  341. No im not overly worried about it. I just was asking cause some of yall were giving out your email and aim name. I just wondered if anyone ever got worried. But yeah, your right, its not good to get too worried about it.

    I am bored…what shall i do?

  342. I just watched kung fu panda and I now know how to blow you all up using my pinky finger. *nods with wisdom of the big eared sensei* Fear the rath of thine pinky of doom.

  346. wow, u must be REALLY bored. I finished the scrapbook (finally). The only place i give out info about me is here, and thats cus its fun to compare things and talk about the same things with other book addicts (that sounds well… you know). I am so tired. But i dont wanna go to bed. I want to read. And talk on here when other people are ON. And OWWWWWWW!!! I just cracked my arm!! The pain! It burnnnnnsssssssss!!!!! OWWW! again! Brain freeze! Tooth freeze! (im eating ice). Wow, ii am so lame, i get hurt while typing something on the computer. Lame *said with singingish voice*

    Talk to ya later :mrgreen:

  349. im so bored that im going to go no something i havnt been one for months… webkinz.

    YA thats how bored i am

    Talk to ya later :mrgreen:

  353. Yes be afraid, very afraid of thy grand and wonderful pinky! Muaha! No I’m jking, I wouldn’t unleash that kinda power upon you it would be rude! Plus I’d have to clean up the mess!

  354. it turns out i didnt end up going on webkinz, i read twilight instead. now im “cleaning up the computer area”. i’se gonna go read mores

    talk to ya later :mrgreen:

  357. i wonder what time you posted that andrea-la (in my time)
    i dont get why people but question marks at the end of an “i wonder” you’re not asking a queston, just stating something you’d like to know. I mean if question marks could talk they wouldnt be very happy about that. Its like putting me as the quarterback when i have NO CLUE how to play football, im more of the gymnastics type. If that was you, you wouldnt be very happy about that. So question marks wouldnt either.

    Wow, im starting to sound like you Andrea-La

  360. I like the phrase “i wonder”. It really makes you wonder. I can’t do gymnastics or football. I’m the swimming type. Question marks should always be happy. It’s the answers that I pitty, for they never know the question.

  361. For a question is like a quest. And you can’t just skip to the end, because then it makes no sense and it toally sucks, therefore the question is lucky and the answer is not.

  362. when i am on uglies questions you are one here! And now its probably the opposite. i totally agree with you. The answer may not always be what you want. But the question can be whatever

  363. The question is awsome. The answer is pointless. I love questions. They are so cool. Life would suck if people got what they want and had all their quesitons answered. YAY for unanswered questions.

  367. Omg i use to always get on Webkinz. I have like 11 of them. But i dont even play it any more. I stopped about….4 to 5 monthes ago. Haha. But i think my account expires next month.

  369. Regarding Tally & Zane’s friend Caps Lock:
    I’m glad that you think I’m a good person. Sometimes I’m not. But, just to let you know, I do get more emotional support from people here than I do anywhere else. I really hope you’re right about there being a way to change my life.

    Yesterday, after my mom pulled the plug on the computer, I went to the library and started doing research. Here’s what I found out: What my parents are doing to me has a name – emotional abuse. The specific category (where they don’t support me when I need it) is emotional neglect. When angry, they also insult me and sometimes physically abuse me. Here’s what I’m going to do so that I have proof: I’m going to keep a daily journal of what my parents do to me that upsets me and hurts me inside. Hopefully, a journal will be proof enough to present to people like friends, the school counselor, and the police that I’ve informed of my situation before and who didn’t believe me. Wish me luck.

  372. Yep, same here. Excuse me while I go scream because I was woken up(again) by freaking pounding of nails cuz my neighbors are getting a new roof put in. And they’re working right across from my window. I don’t think nails like to be pounded on so harshly by hammers. Well newsflash, I don’t like to hear it while I’m sleeping!See Amy? I’m not a very good person in the morning, I’m grouchy and irritable and I admit it. Nobody can be a good person ALL the time.

  373. I know that a LOT. I’m hardly ever a good person. I can be sometimes, or maybe I’m just too critical. I’d go as far to say that I’m never a good person. I lie, I get mad, and I ocassionally act nothing like myself. There are some major flaws in the acorn theory.

  379. I do not want to be awake right now. Yeah, I know it’s like 10:00 but I got like 5 hours of sleep last night and like 3 hours the night before so I’m TIRED. And I’m gonna count that as a flaw. I’ll put it on my EXTREMELY long list….if I can find the bottom….

  381. It’s sort of a mind thing, it’s your perspective against it, like in say Pretties. When Zane(*cries*) took the pill he got really sick like medicine eating your brain sick. for lack of better explanation while I’m still waking up. Okay so that’s conflict, if you liked Zane like somebody I know *cough* me *cough* then that’s BAD conflict. If you didn’t like Zane then that’s I guess Good conflict.

  383. No it’s not possible to live without God. but if you actually stop sleeping for a certain amount of time….can’t remember how long, but it’s a pretty long time….then you die. But you either have to be like really really dumb or have a SERIOUS sleeping disorder for that….

  384. I like change. But is that good? Also, I think it is not possible to live without God. Even if you say that you don’t believe in anything, I think you really do. Somewhere, deep down in your roots of your oak tree.

  385. Oh…and I’m not so sure I can live without sleep cuz like I said I get a *little* cranky after a while and I think my family would kill me off, like shove me through a wood chipper or something…

  387. (^that was sarcasm up there) and that’s true, we were talking about something along the lines of that in our Church group the other day. There was a question about like what happens to the people in the amazons and tribes and that kinda stuff? They’ve never heard of God, so do they go to Heaven automatically? Or do they go to Hell? There was a whole little debatey thing on it.

  388. funny(more coincadence) my cousin from arkansas just posted this bulletin on myspace my family down theres religious
    (oh btw i dont repost any bulletins nomatter what they say)

    just think bout it..

    why do we ((sleep)) in [[school]]

    but stay ((awake)) through a [[2 hour movie]]

    why is it so ((hard)) to talk about [[GOD]]

    but so ((easy)) to talk about [[sex]]?

    why are we so ((bored)) when we look at a [[christian magazine]]

    but find it ((easy)) to read [[playboy]]?

    why is it so easy to ((ignore)) a [[GODLY]]bebo bulletin

    yet we ((repost)) the [[nasty]] ones?

    why are ((churches)) getting [[smaller]]

    but ((bars and clubs)) are [[expanding]]?

    why is it so easy to purchase {beer} and {drugs}

    but so hard to donate 25 cents to a {charity}?

    why is it so easy to worship a {celebrity}

    but very difficult to engage with {GOD}?

    think about it, are you reposting this?

    are you going to ignore it, cause you think you’ll get laughed at?

    repost this as “dont read if ur immature; seriously”

    80% of you won’t repost this.

  390. But the bulletin is right
    i didnt repost it, and im sure many didnt
    but that desnt mean they dont believe in god
    ive seen alot of bulletins like this one
    some better than this one

  393. You reposted it. And you said that you believe in God. That counts. And it is right, it’s hard to talk about God. I find it far easier to write about Him.

  394. god is a delicate subject
    but even if you dont beleive in him you still can go to heaven
    because, if you go to hell you still wont accept god
    because he gave us choices, and im sure he doesnt exspect everyone to think the same in him, or any contraversal subject

  398. I agree with Kenzie. Everyone thinks of God differently. I like to think of Him as a guidence counsoler of sorts and also friend. Or I’d like to quote the Lion the Witch and the Wardrob and say”He’s not a tame Lion, but He is a good one”.

  401. Yeah, I just meant personally that’s not how I see it sort of, but I know He’s seen differently. And Kenzie, my Mom used to play that song all the time, I like it but it is sad. That’s an awesome quote too, C.S. Lewis = great with words.

  403. Sad is good. I really admire C.S. Lewis or anyone really who has a way with words. I’d like to think I did, but I would prefer not to lie to myself.

  407. The problem is that everyone’s roots are underground and go unseen until a crisis. Then they are are shown, but really, we should be able to show our roots now, not later.

  408. Andrea-la, it wouldn’t be lieing to yourself you really are good with words. Speaking of words, I don’t think this as much to do with this conversation, but can I get some input on this poem?
    Up is only up
    when down is down,
    but when I think of soaring,
    twirling, whirling,
    leaving this place for a better good,
    it turns my whole world around,
    to where the two opposites don’t agree,
    they counter act angrily,
    leaving a thunderous treachery,
    leaving what’s left, left for me.
    But no, no more I will think of such things.
    I won’t dream, I won’t imagine, never again will I.
    For now my eyes are open,
    I look across the vast expansion,
    seeing far and seeing wide,
    but for now as the time it may be,
    I look away from that and see close and near,
    see me, to the real, real.
    So no, not again will I ponder my time so frivolously,
    now instead of saying, dreaming, thinking…
    I just will.
    I will.

  417. the only poetry books is a small collencions of three books of poems made by a little boy with cancer (i think dont remember well) I got them from one of my mums friends

  418. cool. I wonder how you open a metiphorical door? With a metiphorical key prehaps? Or is it a metiphorical push door that people tend to pull on? Hmmmmmmmm.

  419. *Rainy Day*
    The rain dribbles,
    a musical song
    a whole orchestra of music
    The thunder applauds it
    The lightning takes it’s picture
    Some people love the summers’ rays,
    But I prefer a rainy day

    The rain falls on my face
    It washes my tears
    It cleans my hands
    It smells of new
    New life
    And new happiness
    Some people adore the summers’ rays,
    But I prefer a rainy day

    The wind thrashes the trees
    Showing it’s freedom
    While it destroys
    But if life isn’t destroyed,
    It will never be new,
    And always be old
    Some people enjoy the summer’s rays,
    But I prefer a rainy day

    The lightning flashes
    It takes our picture
    To presurve the moment
    The moment of new life
    Fresh starts
    The beginning of freeom
    Some people wait for the summers’ rays,
    But I prefer a rainy day

    People stare at me
    The think it odd of me to like the rain
    They say I’ll get wet
    I say that they wont
    Both are statements of fact
    And therefore mean nothing
    Some people like the summers’ rays,
    But I prefer a rainy day

    Most people say that rain is sad
    I dont
    The rain is clensing
    The rain is pure
    The rain is perfect
    How can it be depressing?
    Some people prefer the summers’ rays,
    But I just love a rainy day.

  422. I don’t like it, I love it. The picture it paints in my head is just wonderful! Here’s another one, I wrote this a couple months ago I think….
    The Weak and Strong
    Have you any soul?
    Any Mind?
    Any Heart?

    Think of life not as it
    was, is, or always will be.
    Think of life as it could be,
    as it should be.

    Power divine, strengthens the
    weak, weakens the strong, and
    teaches the meek.

    To love living, is not as simple a
    task as is to fear death. But in a
    world thought of as worse than any
    Hell, why should we fear so?

    To desire answers is our true nature,
    to want, to need, is how we are.
    But who are we to ask of such
    grand things?

    So many questions best left unaswered,
    for with knowledge comes power, for what
    would we use this power, except for destroying
    what is already here, and what shall come to be?

    Horrid, wretched souls are we, for deeds undone,
    for time unspent, for lives left for the taking, with
    no expense.

    To breathe your last breath is magic unto itself,
    for to do so means you were given the gift of
    breathing your first, at a time almost forgotten,
    a time thought of as unimportant.

    A Many insignificant things are the grandest
    of them all. But look unto your heart, to the
    deepest depths of your soul, look, find, and
    soar through the chaos. Soar.

  426. That’s cool, I used to play clarinet. I still know how, but I’m clarinetless.
    Here’s another Two, I think the last ones I’ll put up for a while:
    Woe the dillema,
    always at hand,
    a catharsis of feelings,
    sinking into the sand,
    Always the time,
    of never quite right,
    watching the clock,
    for the instant come,
    but intensity claim thee,
    of never will,
    of destiny,
    of the oddity come rare,
    the All-mighty kingdom,
    shan’t turn you down,
    woe the day that crisis come strike,
    were that to be so,
    to wait for each breath you take,
    to inhale the proximity,
    of how close to this now,
    Hail come pouring,
    answer me be,
    to sing the paean,
    of here to now,
    be seen,
    of finality,
    woe not the dillima,
    celebrate thine concurrence,
    with world of time be sound,
    of safe and security,
    the way of that is for initially
    be that, infinite always.
    ____________________________________________________
    She dost not feel a thing.
    That’s the way she wants it too.
    Without feeling, there is no hurt or sorrow,
    and when there’s not a soul who cares about you,
    maybe that’s how it should be, how it was meant to be.
    Oh, but someone does care, he watches over her.
    She walks along a small dirt road.
    It’s a bumpy road, the road that leads to the beginning of the end of her life.
    She’ll leave this pitiful world, leave it for the better.
    There’s nothing left for her here.
    She doesn’t deserve this kind of Hell.
    She’s getting tired, the weaker she gets, the closer she is.
    She lays her head down, just a little rest.
    That’s all I need, she thinks.
    Her eyelids flutter to a close, she won’t open those pretty blue pools again.
    Now she walks down a new road. A road paved in gold, she holds the hand of a man with a gentle knowing look in his eye.
    The shepherd leads the lamb away from the Hades called Earth. Away from the pain and the hurt and the sorrow.
    Because that’s how it should be, how it’s meant to be.
    The years go by, she feels again. She is filled with joy for once. Before, a foreign word to her.
    But now, it’s how it was meant to be.
    _____________________________________________________
    I wrote that one for a funeral of a friend ^

  430. *blushes* Really? My Mum says they’re really good but, she’s my Mom, she has to say that….so I don’t really know….Hopefully, one day I’ll be able to get some published. That’s my dream! LoL, but you’re really talented too, so I think you’re exaggerating by saying you couldn’t do something like it…

  431. Thanks, but really, I can only write if I really feel like it. I would rather write a book though. I’ve written a few story-poems though. You really really really are that good. You really could get them published. Go get them published. You totally could.

  432. Well, I’m working on it. Takes an awfully long time to even get them looked at by publishers especially when you’re as young as me, they don’t seem to take you as serious. *shrugs* I’ll show em I can be serious. Anywho…I’ve been working on a novel too the last couple of months, I’ve got a little over 100 pages written so far, not sure exactly how long it’s going to be though…

  433. Yeah…I have a really hard time finding time, so I’m only on like page 50 or so. Also, I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so…………yeah. I’m younge too, but my teachers always acknowledge that I’m good, so maybe one day……….Why on earth should age matter anyway?

  434. I have no clue. I think of age as a subject of mind over matter, if you don’t mind, then it doesn’t matter. But apparently the publishers mind. But yeah, when I say 100 pages, I mean totally unedited pages full of mistakes cuz I just had to get the idea down, I have to go back and edit them once I get time and decide that I’m not lazy anymore. Was it you that said you were 14?

  443. At my school we call them Options, but whatever. I get what you mean. We have core and then for “electives” I’m taking band, choice, and digital pics. You?

  445. We have core too, and then we get three electives but for one of them I have to take the freshman mini courses(health, tech, careers&goals) And for my other two electives I’m taking Spanish 2 and Honors Biology, I figured I’d get my science out of the way so next year I can take art and I’m gonna take french 1 and I’ll have to take another science. You have to take 2 years science and 2 years history.

  446. This doesn’t make any sense to me, but oh well. Our options are only band, choir, art, nutrition, electronics, wood working, digital pics, typing. So, your is kinda different. French is required til grade 10 and we just have science, not biology. Health is part of gym.

  448. Oh cool, well there’s these different languages like Spanish French(I already know some French but I want to learn more) German, Portugese, Japanese. And so yeah…I don’t even know all the electives there’s the languages(which two years is recquired, three for a university college) photography, journalism, art, drama, the sciences, choir, band, orchestra, NJOTC,technology, home economis, shop, and a buncha others I didn’t care to remember…

  450. *shrugs* Most of them are only offered to 11th & 12th graders. Hmmm…I’m bored so I’ll post another poem or two.
    I slowly rewind the soundtrack of my life,
    trying to see what I did wrong,
    realizing that I really shouldn’t care and I don’t.
    What’s done is done,
    I will fall no deeper into the quicksand of my soul that
    has a grip on me.
    I tear away. No more, I say, NO MORE, I shout.
    To who? No one, but myself, for no one else cares to listen.
    A tragedy’s a tragedy, I wouldn’t want to darken someone’s day.
    So I fall to my knees,
    all alone in this world,
    I say goodbye,
    and I leave like a passing dove.
    I spread my wings and fly,
    fly over the hardships, fly over the troubles.
    I sail happily with warm open arms into the tomb, the eternal encasement of death.
    Why?
    Because, that’s who I am…who I always would be.
    How? Easy, I just…let go.
    Promise me, you won’t let your freedom die from within. Promise me, you won’t be caged alive.
    I know you more than you think, I know how you feel. I know the steady beating of your heart.
    Why? Bacause that’s who I…was…don’t become me.
    _____________________________________________________
    I’m deaf to my own thoughts.
    Blind to my own ideas.
    I hide behind a shell, a mask.
    Where am I underneath the layers
    of carefully crafted happiness? I wouldn’t
    be able to begin to guess.
    But I do it for you. If you knew the
    extent of my sorrow, my hatred, my
    mere confused thoughts about existance,
    then your heart would break in two.
    So remember, I do it all for you.
    You are my other half, you are a part of me,
    you are the reason for every breath I take.
    I just have to stop and wonder, when will I
    find…you?
    _____________________________________________________
    People don’t usually understand that these words don’t display how I feel personally, that I try to capture the emotions of people I see walking down the street, whether it’s a positive happy feeling or sad and hopeless, it’s most likely not mine.

  451. wow, you guys wite ALOT of comments! I kind of, no offense, hate reading and writing poetry, i just dont like it for some reason. No offense at all, im not saying you’re poety is bad. Im more of a story writer, except i have a problem of underestimating myself. Like i start a book and im all like this is goiing to be great, and then later i say, this is terrible! What a terrible idea! Yes i admit it! I also get ideas from authors and im like my work will never be as good as this, so i have trouble coming up with ideas. Like, after i finished uglies trilogy i was OBSESSED with it and i wanted it to end with shay being her old self again and Tally, so i decided to write another book, but it ended up being really cheezy so i stopped. I now have this idea to write a book about a girl who discovers a whole new world that lives in secret on the clouds. Let me know if you have any ideas/things that i should add to it.

  452. cool scott-la posted this blog entry exactly 5 days from when TZ and i posted that last coment

  455. ugh! I have a bat mitzvah party to go to at 7 and im really not in the mood for dancing. OHHHHH oh ohhhhhhhhhhHHHHHH!! I forgot, i just finished twilight like 10 minutes ago! It was AMAZING i still cant believe Bella became one

  457. i know ive already said this but, I HATE PRINTERS! THEY ARE EVIL! I SWEAR THEY ARE OUT TO GET ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  467. Okay, I’m back, temperarily. I think I’ll write a poem:
    They are all around us
    They surround us
    They become us
    They are us
    And we are them
    We are masks
    Shadows of who we are
    Squashed to what society wants
    And robots to it
    Brainwashed by commericialism
    We are here
    But we don’t hear what is true
    We don’t understand truth,
    For that is not on which society was built
    But hopefully on which,
    We were built
    But I can only hope
    And that hope is enough

  470. at the end it doesnt specifically say it put it says edwards teeth formed around my neck or something like that, it means he agreed to bite her, which means she turned into a vampire

  473. Whoah that was a three way tie all at 10:13, creepy much. I said I have to go to the airport. But my Mom said we still have a couple minutes so I’m back for now.

  476. ya it was spanish, ive only been taking french for a year and ive learned more than my cousin whose been taking it for 3 years

  488. i really should be getting ready for the party but i REALLY dont want to so im going to be doing it at the last minute. again

  489. Edward didn’t bite her, sorry… Je sais un peu de français, mais n’ai jamais pris de classe. (did I say that right? I always mess up on the genders dang it…)

  492. Oh sorry! I was washing my hands of evil printer ink! They’re stained! Ah! But the poems really awesome, powerful in what it tells it’s readers, great job!

  498. Ya I said, or at least I hope I said, that I know a little French but have never taken a class. At least I can pronounce the words in French correctly(I am French anyway) I totally butcher the accent in Spanish…

  508. hahahahahahahahaha!!!!! I had PadTai for supper, which reminds me of Uglies and SpagBol which makes me laugh for hours……my parents started giving me weird looks when I couldn’t hold my chopsticks for laughing.

  509. I think I’ll play my clarinet to annoy the company. My dad has Colonel Bogey stuck in his head already from this afternoon because of a grand total of 10 times in a row. Then my dad told me that I had been praciticing for over an hour and that I should stop. Let’s just say that I didn’t.

  513. nope. nope. i’m here! you’re probably long gone though. 🙁

    wow. i’m soooooo behind on comments.
    i don’t think i’m gonna read them though. too many.

  514. wow I’m way behind on comments but i would just like to say that i like my summer reading list. I get to read The Shining by Steven King.

  519. Has anyone ever heard the song “I kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry? I know its a little weird but i love that song! It has a good beat and all. And if you listen to the lyrics…the sory is little different then her just kissing s girl. Jw if anyone has ever heard it.

  520. Where did everyone go? Are you people still sleeping? You sleepy head! Wake-e Wake-e! Get up now! come talk to Bran-la because she is o-so lonely. Actually Bran-la is gonna take a shower so you just keep sleeping!

  522. I’ve heard that song, yes. It does have… interesting lyrics. Actually, after I heard that song I went out and bought Cherry ChapStick, which was a complete waste of money, as I much prefer my Cherry Unpetroleum and I already knew that before I even bought ChapStick.
    And I’ve been awake since my alarm went off at 6:15 AM (I never unset it from the school year), so no fair accusing me of sleeping!

  525. Haha. I want it as my ring tone but my friend was like “i dont think you want to do that..” But i love the song so much. Look up the lyrics though. She says that she was basically drinking and got brave sooo…idk i dont care. Haha. bi

  527. haha. i’ve heard that song. one night my mom was taking me n my friends home from a party and one of my friends starts singing/yelling it. lol. and after they got out of the car my mom was like “she’s a little weird Kaylee.” and i’m like “mom, it’s a song!” it was funny.

  528. ughh.. this pancake is too sweet! ..it’s saturated in syrup. i don’t think i can eat it. bleh.

  530. lol. it was breakfast and lunch. i hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. and i’m kinda odd. like i have to have some kind of breakfast food before i can eat anything else. so it was both. lol.

  532. Pancakes can never be too sweet. Idk what your talking about. I practically drown mine in syrup.

    Yeah my dad thought the song was a little weird but i love it. He doesnt have to like my music. Haha.

    Idk what i am going to do today….

  533. haha actualy my friend had that song stuck in her head at school everyone gave her weird looks
    have you heard reel big fish she has a girlfriend now
    its so good funny though

  534. anyone on i planned on talking before i have to goi went to my sisters graduation yesterday so now im going to my cousins
    and then out to eat, mmm

  535. Okay i was reading some of the old post and i have to disagree on something someone said.
    They were talking about gay or lesbien people and divorce.

    Ok, it is scientically proven that people that are bi/gay/other or born like that. They cant control it. And God wants us to except one another and not be judgemental…so why does that church say “Gay people are wrong”? Huh? Thats one thing that drives me CRAZY! I cant stand it! We are suppose to be God-like but they are making us UN God-like!
    And divorce. Who freakin cars? i dont. If my husband beat me and tried to kill me i would divorce him too! If we didnt get along and we werent in love any more, why stay with them? Then we wouldnt be “one”. I say NEXT.

    So next time you think being gay or w/e is wrong, just think…would you want to be hated? disliked? Looked down upon? SHUNNED!? And if your husband/wife threatend you/hit you/hated you or you just lost love…would you divorce?

    God isnt going to send you to hell because you made one bad choice in finding love or if you were born a certain way. He will always love us. And to be honest, who says hell even exsists? I dont no about you but i have never seen it.

    Peace!

  536. I just thought of an awesome way to look at it (the gay thing).

    Just because adam and eve were straight doesnt mean everyone has to be. Is like saying “well adam and eve had blue eyes so everyone without blue eyes are wrong and shouldnt be accepted”. How would you feel?

  537. I need someone to talk to me before i explode. This topic makes me stressed. I hate the churches teachings sometimes. HATE!

  538. go bran-la someone agrees with me
    and people are born that way, so god made them that way and god, as everyone says doesnt make mistakes

  540. okay, Bran-la. Again, as I’ve said before, THESE ARE TESTS. think about this- You say that if someone is born gay/lesbian, they cannot get over it. Truth is, THEY CAN. It’s whether they choose to that’s the problem. What you’re saying is that if someone is born with a trait, they cant change it for what they believe in. SO if someone was born with an extra leg- are you saying they cannot remove it? Or if someone is born as a very non-outgoing person, they cant become more outgoing? And your little Adam and Eve mediphor is absolutely wrong. Because guess wat? GOD CREATED ADAM AND EVE IN HIS IMAGE. He created a man and a woman. No more, no less. And having blue eyes is something you cant change. You can cover it up, with colored contacts, but it is not possible to change as far as I know. Yet being gay/lesbian can be changed if the person tries. And they aren’t looked down upon by us. Chrstians care for everyone, whether they’re bi, lesbian, gay, straight, whatever. They aren’t being shunned.
    On divorce- If your husband/wife beats you or tries to kill you, they obvioously don’t care about you and you both made the wrong decision in marrige. No duh. Obvious part, right? Well, again, as I’ve said before, marrige is a commitment that bonds you to your spouse and you become one. Divorce has absolutely nothing to do with God or the church, so you’re still one whether divorced or not.
    And don’t you DARE throw the “God loves everyone, so you won’t go to hell and blah blah blah” thing on me. God loves us, but if you don’t follow what he’s told you to do without asking for his forgivness, you will go to hell. Like it or not. And Bran-la, if you don’t believe there is hell you honestly aren’t a Chrstian, because Chrstians believe everything the Bible says. And the Bible CLEARLY STATES that there is Hell, and you WILL go to it if you don’t follow what he says.
    Oh, and if your spouse tried to kill you, divorce would be the LAST thing on my mind, because I’d be dialling 911.

  544. Kenzie, comment 394-“But even if you dont beleive in him you still can go to heaven.”

    This drives me nuts. No you can’t. I’ll prove it to you- I have a Chrstian magazine at hand with the answer to your question. Here ya go (and i’m summarizing because it’s pretty long…)-
    John 14:6 says, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Note the keyword “the.” not “a.” “The” way. “The” truth. “The” life. Notice that Father is in heaven. Therefore, you cant get to heaven without believing. You may believe something else. But you’re believing the wrong thing. I can sincerely believe that i can fly, but if I jump off a tall building, guess what’s going to happen.
    And if someone goes through life without hearing of Him? No one goes to hell unfairly. To sin just ONCE is enough to make you a sinner needing God’s forgivness. “For the wager of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). As for people like Ghandi who do good but don’t believe- Sure, Ghandi did some good things, but our few good deeds, when compared to God’s holy righteousness, are compared to “filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). And God knows Ghandi’s heart and secret thoughts. Nobody else does.
    Thanks to Tom Neven, from the Brio magazine staff, for practically giving this answer to me. Although I had to modify it because i realized the question was about Jesus. But ya know, either way the answer is correct 😉

  545. “And having blue eyes is something you cant change. You can cover it up, with colored contacts, but it is not possible to change as far as I know.” thats what you said and this is what you also said “You say that if someone is born gay/lesbian, they cannot get over it. Truth is, THEY CAN. It’s whether they choose to that’s the problem. What you’re saying is that if someone is born with a trait, they cant change it for what they believe in.” Not everything can be changed. As you PROVED yourself.

  548. I think that the whole crap with you thinking that they arent born with that and cant help it is RIDICULOUS! And you think they arent being SHUNNED? Ask your priest what he thinks about it. Ask anyone who is at the church. They will tell you it is wrong. And its not! It is absolutely NOT! And i hate that people think it is bad…it drives me up a wall. It is crazy to think that it is wrong!

    My friend told me this one day: “God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve.” guess what i say? “Your full of crap cause i have met Gay people and Bi people in my life. So if you believe that, i want to no who made them cause obviously you dont think God did.” Lets just say..with all the PROOF i gave her, she now thinks exactly what i do.

    You know what i am going to do? I am going to ask all my friends about what they think. I want to see which side most believe. For the fun of it. I am very curious.

  549. Wow Bran-la. I honestly didn’t understand half of what you just said O_o
    and for the record- The very first line of what you said is wrong. I never said that they aren’t born with it. But they can help it. And no, THEY AREN’T BEING SHUNNED!!!! Open Your Eyes. Do you see gay/lesbian people hiding in shadows, rocking back and forth whispering to themselves? they live like anyone else. Only problem is they aren’t going to heaven because obviously they wouldn’t be going along with their feelings of they were christian. because they’d know it was wrong, and would fight it. If someone starts smoking, it’s difficult for them to stop but they can do it. And the smart ones do. And good luck with your friends. 😉

  554. OMG! I am going to seriously explode!!!!!! THEY WILL GO TO HEAVEN! THEY CAN NOT HELP IT! And my dad smokes and he cant stop! He has tried but its hard! You cant fight what your body wants, your mind wants, what YOU want! And its not about be Christian or catholic or w/e freakin crap you are! Its about being you! God wouldn’t give me a foot if he didn’t want me to have it. He wouldn’t give me eyes and expect me to be blind! We are who we are because thats how we were made! I guess i should tell you now rather than later my opinion on the church:

    through this year, i have weaved more and more towards not being a believer because of the church. I think they are unfair and they make up stuff and they teach stuff that isnt even what God would want us to do (like being judgmental and shunning). Thats why i decided i wanted to believe…just in my own way. So i believe what i NO is true and what i NO God wants. And trust me, he is ok with Gays…or he wouldn’t have made them.

    BTW, When you say that the people are going to hell, your being judgmental…and thats not a very good Christian!

  556. im bak..lol..im sad. i need a hug. this guy broke my heart. im listing to ‘ur so gay’ by Katy Perry. wow. i really need a hug right now. *looks down sadly*

  558. Look, Bran-la, you just said that you can’t fight what you want. That is not true. Every single day I fight what I want. I want to be normal. But I don’t let myself. You know why? Because I’m not. I could act normal, and it is what I want more than anything. ANYTHING! But I know that is not possible. Bran-la, I really don’t know what church you go to, but this is my opinion:”Bran-la, I’m not going to lable you for what you have said. I am not going to be judgemental about your perspective, and I myself am not going to try to change it. I am not stooping to other people’s levels and am NOT labling you. I hope that this is something that you can understand. Please though, don’t let what some Christians think about God harm you. But to be quite frank, I will voice MY opinion just have you yours. In my opinion the idea is marriage is between a man and a women. In my mind, this is how it is ment to be. It may be different in yours, but my mind is standing firm. God’s perspective on this hasn’t changed either. It says in the Bible that man and women should be together and I am standing by this.”. See, just my opinion, but I thought that I’d voice it anyway.

  559. I’m getting a headache. All this argueing isn’t happy-making. Talking about this is okay, but flat out argueing like you guys are isn’t what should be going on. Cuz it’s really not making a difference, just giving me a headache and annoying other people. You guys all have different points of view on this subject obviously and please nobody blow up. Cuz I don’t wanna clean up the mess, it’s really nasty if you know what I mean? But yeah….so all I’m asking is please civilly state your opinions and have a….whatever you call it….non argumentative discussion…. cuz you’ve already gotten your point across to everyone…that was weird….anywho apparently nobody cares that I have a freaking spidey hamster, am I the only one that thinks that’s cool?

  560. That really cool Tally&Zane, but really, we weren’t argueing, we were voiceing our opionins. Sorry, if it is giving you a headache, but that is what happens when a few opinionated people start discussing such things.

  561. oh. my. gosh. i mean, i’ve been off for like a few days and there’re 560 COMMENTS!!!!
    pete sake.
    w/e.
    anyway, awesome job, scott-sama!!!

  564. yo-la
    guess what hurts? my foot. Guess why? Because I Stepped On Some of Those Stupid Really Hard, Stick-Like Grass Things And It Cut My Foot!! And Guess What Else? While I Was Cleaning It In My Room, I Saw A BUG CRAWLING ON MY LEG!! AND IT WOULDN’T COME OFF!!!!! Gosh, my foot hurts.
    so, on another note, I’m out of things to say. Bran-la, you’ve been turning things around and making no sense, so I give up. Unless I know an absolutely clear answer to a question, i’m not answering.

  569. I just recently got a Cat Fancy magazine, and was reading the “Garfield Weighs In On….” and then whatever topic. this issue was on declawing your cat. Garfield said something like, “Three topics you should never bring up in conversations: Politics, Religion, and declawing your cat.”
    lol.

  572. But those may be the three most interesting topics that are in exsistence. You know, except the whole story about how your pet rock ran away.

  573. The bible even has info about the Lables. About how people call other people names. See, it relates to modern life. Or prehaps modern life relates to it.

  574. BTW, my pet rock has actually ran away. If you ever see a rock that answers to Rocky the Third, let me know. He ran away a while ago.

  575. ah, good point andrea-la
    and it says (apparently) that before the end of the world, people will be marked and that nobody without the mark will be able to buy or sell. I read the book “Bar Code Tattoo” which is like based on that. The author guessed at what that would be like. It’s similar to Uglies in a way of set in the future, rebellion against authroity, etc.

  579. Oh yeah….I commented on those already but I’ll summarize.
    G vs. E : Evolution is a made up theory that for some reason people think is more believable. Genesis 1:1 God created the Heavens and the Earth.

    marriage: Even though they’re different, and it doesn’t say that it’s okay in the Bible, God loves us all, and forgives us that’s why he sent Jesus to die for us, so if they’re believers and have a relationship with God, then they’re saved. They have just as much right as any believer to go to Heaven.

    That’s my view on things, if anyone wants me to like explain further then ask.

  580. Were you talking about me? If so I didn’t mean it was unpolite to voice opinions, I just meant that we get it. Cuz everything was getting a bit repetitive and angryish…

  588. I mean, are they like music for the eyes? Do they make things interesting? I have a question for everyone:”would you rather live without laughter or without music?”. My opinion is that I would rather live without laughter. I wouldn’t be able to function without music.

  592. I suppose you are right. I happen to be a very opinionated person and when people have different opinions…i tend to soak up the opportunity. Sorry Emily-wa if i hurt your feelings or anything. Obviously God made us with two totaly different way of thinking and we should take that as a chance to share ways of thinking…not argue about them. But at the same time i hope that you learned from what i said cause i did learn from you!

    Night!

  593. Okay. Anyone with Pretties, look at pg 107. it says, “Shay glided over to gather Tally in a hug, coming to a halt mostly by bumping into her. ‘Hey, Skinny-wa.'”
    Skinny-WA? Scott-la, it should be LA!! LALALALA!!!
    And I think that if a name starts with an L it should be -la, but if it both starts with an L and has an L in it, it should stay -Wa. Such as Lora-la, but not Lily-La. It should be Lily-wa.

  599. Yeah it was random but seriously it’s like my least favorite color ever. Colors matter cuz they give us perspective. For example, you can look at a picture in black & white, then see the same picture in color, and it’s a totally different experience. Color surrounds us. And showcases the complete beauty of what we see. Unless it’s periwinkle. Color isn’t nesecarily needed,it’s a luxury, you may say you don’t want luxury but you can still enjoy it. Color is like tasting with sight.(This coming from an artist.)

  604. I think that Lora-wa sounds better. Also, names ending with y without an L should be either way. For example, Amy-wa sounds just a right as Amy-la.

  610. ok just got bak but ill summerize my opinions/elaborate on past opinions
    in the whole if you dont beleive you got to hell why if someones done nothing wrong and been a good citizan but doesnt beleive in god for personal choices is no reason they shouldn’t go to heaven
    on being gay, god wants us to be happy, but would you be happy with a person your not attracted to
    on christans/beleivers looking disriminating on gay people does happen i know people wo have been regected by their church because they are gay even though you may not do it, it does happen
    on the color perriwinkle it has a stupid name eeh color
    spider/hamster would be cool

  611. I get the la and wa thing how it’s supposed to be but in my opinion la on my name sounds better and on other ppl’s names that start with l’s

  612. okay Kenzie. Do some research. Search Yahoo!Answers on questions like if christians believe gay/lesbian is gay. And also, don’t base all chrstians on one church. Obviously that church isn’t the best, but at the same time gay/lesbian and christ don’t go together. Like i said, read Romans 1-3 and Leviticus ch18. I’m getting tired of repeating things.

  617. Okay I’m just saying this. If that person doesn’t believe in God, well that means they don’t believe in heaven then right? Then why on Earth would they go somewhere that “doesn’t exist” in their minds? Don’t quote me on this, cuz this isn’t the exact scripture but it says in the Bible that “There is no way to Heaven except through Me…” (Meaning God/Jesus)

  619. its happened at more than one church i have done reseach
    and im not saying just christans im saying some variations and similar religions mostly

  626. kenzie if ppl don’t believe in god then they won’t believe in heaven or hell: maybe an ‘after life’ of some kind but heaven and hell are mostly associated with Christians, Catholics, or Lutheran

    Kenzie on the gay thing god does want us to be happy, he says in the bible (the verses emily-wa said) that be homosexual is wrong and that it disgusts him, but that as long as you don’t act on thoose urges and that lust it is ok and if you do you need to repent and that he will forgive you jsut like he would any other sin

    yes some christians do discriminate against gay/lesbians but that doesn’t go for all of them in the bible judging ppl is just as much a sin as being homosexual and is even more talked about then being homosexual

    and your last comment confuses me

  629. AND YES I LOVE CROSSROADS!!!!!!!!!!!!
    OH EMILY-WA I GOT TO HELP WITH THE 6TH AND 7TH GRADERS SERVICE I LEAD THE WORSHIP SONG WITH A FRIEND IT WAS AMAZING AND SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN 😛

  630. Hamsters like dog food, dogs like cat food, and cats don’t even like cat food they just eat freaking fish! What the heck is up with this??? Stuff needs to stop being labeled cuz they’ve got it all wrong…..

  636. True but a form and just stating that so no one says ‘well catholics/Lutherans are/arn’t like that to’ i dont remember exactly what i was referring to

  639. Tally & Zane my church is called crossroads christian church but crossroads for short and i didn’t tell emily-wa that on gmail chat

  660. I can understand plastic surgery say if someone was like in a car accident and it like screwed up their face but other than that I think it’s completely stupid and I for one wouldn’t wanna be a freaking barbie doll.

  664. Exactly, TZ. If it’s neccesary such as removing someone’s extra toe or leg, or fixing something after an accident absolutely. But otherwise it’s saying that when God made you, he did it wrong. Like when you get your nose done- you’re saying that God didn’t make your nose right, so a mere human is going to fix it…

  669. Well, if someone is like born deformed or something like that, then there is a surgery that’s done to help it but I don’t consider that as plastic surgery.

  673. i think if you want somthing small(ie: nose kips ect) its fine or like TZ said if you were in an accedent
    but when you look like a barbie its wierd
    i mean do you know what her real life measurments are 38-18-34
    geez thats unnatural

  675. its kryptonite and not the bible magazine thing with the Q&A’s that we read the nose thing was in one

  676. IF I GO CRAZY WILL YOU STILL CALL ME SUPERMAN? IF I’M ALIVE AND WEL WILL YOU STILL BE THERE HOLDIN MY HAND? I’LL KEEP YOU BY MY SIDE WITH MY SUPERHUMAN MIGHT! KRYPTONITE!

  677. There’s not enough room for her organs, so she’s impossible skinny. but they changed it so that she’s a bit bigger. you can tell if you look at an old barbie compared to a new one.
    And like I said, anything that changes your body is saying God didn’t do it right the first time, so yuo get a mere human to fix it.

  681. kenzie: even when it is small like nose or lips still your saying of you messed up god so this humane is going to fix it and make it better i think surgery should only be done it you get in an accident and need it or have a defect of some kind and not really anything outside of thoose things

  686. true and he probably doesn’t thats why some day it is going to end along with the fact that jesus promised he would come back for thoose who believed in him and take them to his house in heaven

  695. kenzie god made you in his perfect image meaning changing anything about you big or small is wrong

  697. ok and idk but most things that ppl say tast like chicken end up tasting gross except chicken itself

  698. TZ: Idk. I’ve been wondering that lately….
    Kenzie: GOD DESIGNED EVERY LITTLE DETAIL OF YOU AND HOW YOU’LL GROW. EVERY SINGLE HAIR WAS PLACED ON YOUR HEAD BY GOD. So if you’re saying that even changing your nose or you mouth, it’s okay, you’re saying it’s okay to change God’s design. Now, I forgot to mention this, but if you’re getting something like achne removed from your nose, that’s okay. But changing ANYTHING that has no reason except to look better is a no-no.

  704. yes i cant beleive the ending! i thought it was sweets! i wont spoil it
    peronaly i dont like plstic surgery but i think its ‘wrong’

  705. Oh this is hilarious- my dog, Kenzie (that’s her name, lol. i dont mean i am talking about Kenzie the person), was running around the pool at my cousins’ house. My brother had held her and let her half-swim around the shallow end, but she was never actually in the water by herself without someone holding her. Anywho, my cousins’ dog came by, and Kenzie doesn’t like their dog, and trying to get away her back legs slipped and she fell into the pool! It was hilarious! and then she was in front of my mom and Lana, who were sitting by the edge of the pool, and my mom pushed Kenzie in! Not being mean, she just couldn’t help it but it was too funny… which is pitiful but ah well.

  706. niether of my dogs liked water sha jsut gets mad at you and runs from you and rascal jsut swims out first chance he gets but i threw him in 2 times at the puppy paddle thing

  716. and csi is good las vagas is the best then miami i never really liked new york

  718. Well I’m gonna head off too, I’m reading this book called Road of The Dead by Kevin Brooks(by the way REALLY good, I reccomend it) and I wanna finish it so I can go to Borders tomorrow and get something else too.

  725. Dont flatter yourself too much, Emily-wa. I may have learned…but i still stick by what i said. What i learned was reasons of WHY you feel that way.

  726. Oic. Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I still find it funny that you’ve been “discussing” this matter with a 13 year old girl 😉
    Oh, and for the record- I think Zane is better than David, but David’s pretty cool too. I wonder what he would have been like as a pretty, and if he’d be with Tally…
    Scott-la you should work on rewriting the books in Shay-la’s point of view! that would be totally fawesome.

  727. I have a rat-sized chihuahuha on my lap that’s shaking like a leaf!(She’s so adorable!) but she’s scared, she’s my Uncle’s dog and is REALLY attached to him, like I think she’s got seperation anxiety cuz she’s flipping out…

  732. ok, i’m bored, so i thought that i’d say somthing. well, i don’t think there was anything wrong with your voice or apperance, scott. you were just paranoid. anyways, how’s people’s summer vacation been so far? I’m a little nervous for next year. i’ll be a freshman, and i’m kinda short.i hope people don’t make fun of me.oh, my little sister is watching barbie and the princess and the pauper downstairs. i accualy like the songs, really. that movie isn’t to childish. the plot is enjoyable. anyways, it’s been a boring first few weeks of summer so far. well, i just got a new car, but it’s being inspected right now. oh, swimming practice is soon. it starts at 7:00pm. dinner should be ready soon, then i have to get dressed and walk to the pool. i hope i do good on the meet on monday. i had on yesterday, and i did a lot better than last time, even though i was still last on all of my races. anyways, i’ll end this random comment now.

  743. Yeah….you say you’re short, I’m probably shorter than you. But I don’t care if they make fun of me, that stuff doesn’t bother me cuz I don’t care what they think.

  756. Hello. You know what really really really sucks? Fly Friday. It’s when at swimming you do butterfly all practice. I have never actually had it because of my level, but next year…

  758. Yea Andrea-la, last time I checked was at the doctor’s for my physical *shiver* bleh. Anywho, I’m not exactly sure how tall because i was like 5’3″ at the time, but since then my friend says she’s some taller height that i cant remember yet I’m taller than her… i’ll have to measure soon.

  759. Also, sets with fly in them. And IM because it goes Fly-Back-Breast-Free. And I really hate Fly. Then I hate back. But I like fly sometimes. But only sometimes. And never in large amounts.

  761. I’m alot like you in swimming, Andrea-la: I cant do backstroke well because I don’t like hitting my head, and butterfly isn’t very fun. But I shall teach myself this July when we SHOULD have a pool in our backyard… although we were supposed to have one before we moved in. Stupid weather, keeping our pool from being worked on. Stupid retaining-wall requirements. rawr.

  762. Okay, I’m going to continue ranting about the terrors of fly. Because it sucks. But for some bizzar reason, I’m good at it. Which means that I get entered into races of fly.

  766. Fly totally sucks in large amounts. Otherwise, it’s pretty good. You know, compared to 10x50free on 50seconds. Which you know, is kinda hard.

  788. Emily-wa no you left me right as i got on why is it w always do that… Oh and umm umm idk yay randomness is fun!!!!!!

  790. I like taking pictures of people’s shoes. Especially my teachers who all thought that I was perfectly normal and brainwashed. Well, then…

  808. He put me in the lane with the kids with A times and I don’t even have a B time. And I have to do the same sets as the kids with A times. It sucks! Just he is going to retire and this other guy who is in grade twelve at my school and plays alto sax is going to coach. I’m dreading that.

  817. HARRY POTTER BOOKS ARE THE REASON TO LIVE! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, I’VE LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY TIMES I’VE READ ALL THEM WHEN I GOT TO 10TIMES!

  818. hey! 🙂

    i use to play clarinet. then i switched to alto sax. and then to barry sax. and then back to alto. now i don’t play in the band at all 🙁 … i had to quit so i could be on the school newspaper.

  820. Shoe drawing is fun. Especially when you then wear the shoes that you just put clay all over with your rainbow socks and the bus driver stares at you.

  834. And that one time(yesterday) when I wore black winter boots and a dark brown sweater with the hood up. Yeah. My friend was all,”Are you trying to get to Narnia through the swimming lockers because the wall over there wouldn’t let you into the room of requirment?”

  855. Wow! This is kind of a random statement, but Twilight fans seem a lot different than Scott Westerfeld fans. I used to be addicted to the Uglies books, but then I read Twilight and now I think that I’m more of a Stephenie Meyer. I mean I still like Scott, don’t get me wrong, it’s just Twilight is a lot different, and I think I like it a little more.

  861. Ha love the poofy hair,the sexy-cold voice,hand weights love it all makes me laugh and congrats you got up at 7:30 for a t.v. show that only lasted for about 30 seconds on you well that would ruin my day!
