Me on TV

Posted on by scott

This Sunday, June 8, at 9AM I’ll be appearing on WABC-TV’s Weekend show!

Yes, that’s a TV show. Which means that I am going to be on TV.

Update: To watch, Click here and select segment 3 of 15.

Joining me will be Jane O’Connor, author of the Fancy Nancy books for littlies, and comic maven MAC, who’s just come out with a non-graphic novel, Anna Smudge: Professional Shrink, which looks really cool.

TRAGIC NOTE: This is a local NYC show, so my apologies to fans from other states and other lands. My guess is that most of you in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut (one of America’s many “tri-state” areas) should be able to see it. But I’m not sure. I didn’t even know they had a 9AM on Sunday. Is that new?

Check your local listings for Weekend with Michelle Charlesworth. It should be on Channel 7.

This is my first time on TV since my debut on the Bozo the Clown Show when I was . . . like, eight? (I was called out of the audience to do something and I won something. It’s all very hazy.) So I hope I don’t look stupid.

Preparations include:
New shirt (check)
Haircut (check)
Hyper-distilled plot synopsis of Uglies memorized (check)
Raging head cold and cough (check)
Witty banter (um . . . huh?)

Now if one of you tri-staters would Tivo and Youtube this, it would be fawesome. (Unless, of course, I totally suck. In which case, I think my humiliation should be shared with millions. Millions!)

Update: Again, Click here and select segment 3 of 15 to watch.

  2. Oops. Double post. Except BEA. BEA was at the Los Angeles Convention Center last Friday. I went. It was FEXCELLENT! I got 51 books.

  6. hey, i’m in the tri-state area.
    ….but the idea of me having Tivo is laughable. my TV was a shower gift to my parents, who are, incidentally, having thier 20th wedding annaversery this September.

    but still. i will find this obscure local access channel and see this!
    ….unless it’s on youtube.

  7. Yeah, Canada sux. J/K! You guys get certain books that we don’t! ARGH! I so need to go to Canada!

  8. Wow, a tv star! You’ll rock, Scott. We know you will.

    I hope somebody does put it on youtube so that we poor folks down in Alabama can see ya.

    Good luck. Break a leg. Knock ’em dead. etc…

    Wanda

  9. Fine. I guess i wont watch it. I guess i CANT! *cries silently in corner* Im better now.

    You know, i could have recorded it and put it on youtube. I COULD have but no…I am not going to e able to see it. But w/e. Im just gonna go cry some more.

    …my life is ruined….

  10. grr washington local shows such too
    noone really thinks about DOING anything in washington just kinda know of seattle
    not even cnventions are near me bleh
    Thank god it will most likely be on youtube,so anyone who can record it do that and put it on youtube

  11. Awwww man. I hate Vegas. People think interesting things happen here, but they really don’t unless you’re 21 and have a license.
    Blahness.
    I just know that someone better upload it to Youtube, otherwise you will have a multitude of disappointed fans.

    And you’re sick, too? I’m sorry. It really sucks, huh? But I suppose that this is why there is DayQuil.
    It truly is the savior of braincells:)

  12. That’s ironic, because I was on live TV a few days ago. (But it was a local channel, a REALLY local one.) I’ll see if I can record it but my Tivo is cursed.

    Good luck! Don’t forget to be awesome!

  16. i will find this obscure local access channel and see this

    Local access? It’s Channel 7, dude! Also known as ABC. (It’s just the local affiliate.)

  17. i so TiVo-ing this!!! i will (kind of unfortunately) be in WI wen it airs and so i mite not be up then, but at least i’ll have it TiVo-ed 4 wen i come home!!!

    yea, andrea-la!!! i kind of agree w/ u!!

    See ya!!!! :mrgreen:

  19. Pffft, will totally be catching this. That is, if I can wake up early enough. Alas, even if I don’t have a TiVo, and I do not find it on Youtube by the next day, I’ll totally film it in my camera, if it comes to that. 😉

  20. Alas, it seems that it is impossible to DVR this show and then upload it to the computer and then upload it to YouTube — unless you are one of the lucky folks who has a PCI TV tuner. I, alas, am not among that number. But I can see if any of my weird techy friends are … in which case, I’ll totally get them to help me out. Can’t wait to watch you on teeevee, Mr. W. Although … um … I won’t be awake at 9 a.m. ‘Cos that’s just plain weird.

  22. Ooh, someone please YouTube it! If that is at all possible for anyone.

    Why is the West Coast, like, ten million times more jokes than the East Coast, and yet the East Coast gets everything?
    What is up with THAT? Jeez.

  23. Darn it! A few states down! I would TiVo it though if it was in my area though. I’ll hopefully see it on youtube though…

    I hope you do great Scott-la! Keep being fawsome!

  24. Haha, a TV celeb!!! Good luck!
    But don’t go on while Maureen Johnson is drinking tea and eating biscuits!
    <3

  25. man. not even close to where i live. bummer.

    good-luck!! 😀 i’m sure it’ll be great!

  27. I got so excited when i read the first few sentences. Then i read the part about it being in the east coast! I am sooo sad right now *cries*! At least something goes on on the west coast. Im somewhere in the middle, Illinois! Nothing ever goes on there. I have never even heard of book coventions being their. And to get a dumb book signed by an author i have to drive like an hour, AND when scott-la comes to my school for the 8th graders, they DONT TELL us 7th graders!!! How unfair is that???? I was like about to scream when i found that out! Us 7th graders got to see an old author who wrote Skellegg (or skelly, not sure which) who has ever even heard of skellegg?????? (sry to those who like it, just an opinion). Oh, and im starting a booklist so please tell me all of your favorite books.

  30. isn’s that the nine lives of chloe king series? i can’t remember who they’re by, but they are good. i like the first bit in the fallen, when she’s falling off the sears tower in the fog.

  33. 🙁 I totally wish i could see that. Tri-staters PLEASE PLEASE put this show on youtube. And don’t be nervous scott if you screw up it will only be that much more funny (and you can go hide in australia if you really suck). Not that im saying you will screw up. seriously no pressure. (LOTS OF PRESSURE!)

  34. UGG! I hate being grounded from the computer. i am so far behind in all of my conversations. School is over in 6 days…so I’ll be back then. I’m on the school’s computers now. I’m amaze dI can actually make a post. HEHE

    Congrsts Scott…to bad I don’t get the station in upstate (as far as I know)

  35. OMG!!! lotsa luk scott!!!! but this is bogus. i live in texas, and texas is like totally bubbly & all, but i think i want to temporarily move to nyc. somebody so has to get this onto youtube!!!

    l8rz…. 😀

  36. o btw: i just got out of school!!!!!! yayzers!!! yet also not yayzers. happy-making b/c i can get on heres more often, sad-making b/c im gona miss evrybody @ skool… o wel. im sure ill survive the summer. first day of summer….. o & here in deer park (near houston- for those of u who dont no were the truly cool-e-o ppl r) & the time for me is currently 1:37 pm lolz just had 2 establish that.

  38. I wish that I could live in NY right now! that would be so fawesome!!!! I am sad now! 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

    I love Superman/Tom Welling!!!!

  39. sigh. just a few hours south and i could watch it. sigh. sigh. sigh. sigh. sigh. sigh. sigh. sigh…etc. etc. etc.
    nothing EVER happens on the east coast, believe me. at least nothing in a tiny town. srsly, peeps, it’s not everything u believe it is.
    now i have to have a shower cuz i haven’t even changed for like a week (uknow, homeschooled and all…)
    but we only have FIVE MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL!!!! sorry, i just had to get that out…
    congrats on the tv thing, tho…u’ll do great!!!!!

  40. o btw: i just got airhead from the library yesterday (it’s by meg cabot) and i finished it last night. it’s pretty long but w/e. i just needed a good book to read
    right now i’m reading the rose daughter by robin mkinley (don’t ask me how to spell that). my older sis got like all of her books out, so i just picked it up. w/e. i need a good book to sink my teeth into or else i go kinda crazy. no, more than crazy. i get, like angry at anyone and everyone. i’m so weird.

  41. oooooooooooooo wait!!! i got comment 39!!!!!! WHOOOHOOOOOO!!!
    teehee i just noticed that 😳

  43. ugh! my sister goes to school in NYC and i could totally get her to tape it for me…. except for the fact that she’s home this weekend visiting us! ugh no one ever comes to the small east coast towns. Can’t you just travel a few hours southeast and make an appearance in philadelphia? i can’t get to NYC but i can get to philly.

  45. I was on the news once. Well, i was kind of more like and Extra cause i was sitting at an angle from the cameara so you could see me. Yep. I was a natural…

  47. although as, starting at about eight o’clock tomorrow morning, there are going to be people ripping the roof off my house and cutting skylight holes and hammering, i might manage to get up early.

    also, the Nine Lives of Chloe King owns.

  48. srsly, no one EVER visits east coast small towns. NOONE!!! sigh. when people ask where i live, they’re like ‘what?! is that around here somewhere?!’ when it’s like five minutes away. it’s annoying.
    of course, now they’re building a mall in our town, which is annoying cuz the only commercial things in our town are little like conveinience stores and stuff. now they’re building a traffic light at the end of my street, which we totally never needed.
    i think that people r just out to get us small towners… 😡

  50. Haha i should ask my cousin or grandma to tivo it and send it to me but i dont think they would wake up that early

  51. I am really bored. And i cant tell if im hungry…or if its a cramp. Haha. I feel all poopy today.

  53. me too Bran-la. me too. i really didn’t want to get up this morning and go to drviers ed. infact i got all dizzy in the shower and thought i was gonna pass out. luckily i didn’t though.

    i just got done volunteering at this camp. it was so much fun. i have a group of girls who are my little buddies now. when i told them i wasn’t staying they almost cried. and i met this lady who is more obsessed than i am with taking pictures and she let me use her digital SLR. it was magical. 😀 tomorrow i’m going back and we’re going hiking and stuff. should be fun. laters.

  56. Haha. Arent we all during the summer? No one really cares the day as long as your not in school.

  59. I hate it when they show those commercials of the dying polar bears and the little puppies….it makes me want to cry. I just saw one and the tears were just ready to come out. Poor little polar bears!

  60. no, i’m like this all the time.

    and i’m still in school, so i’ve really got no excuse.
    one more week left…..next Friday’s my last day.

  61. Uhm…I checked the channel guide since I live in New York..I wanted to DVR it…but Eye Witness News is on at 9AM…I’m confused can someone help ? aha

  62. hey ive been looking for the infamous black sticky notes and I thought a while back someone said they had some, can you tell me where you get them

  66. I missed it! The one week I’m actually in NY and I didn’t even see it. I went to Youtube, but I couldn’t find it. All I found was this video of Scott at DragonCon, which I’m in! I’m the girl sitting in the front row wearing a brown shirt, and looking completely out of place. I think my mom and I were some of the only people who weren’t dressed up. Anyway, I hope someone puts it up…

  67. ok someone has to put this up on youtube or something

    p.s this took forever to type cuz i busted my middle finger:(

  68. Nope its not on Youtube. What a bummer! I wanted to see it but noooo, people didnt FEEL like recording it. Its ok, i see how it is. Just leave the rest of the world out of your secret news castings.

  69. So that means you weren’t in town for the Booker T. Gala last night with all the other famous grads??? Too bad. ^-^

  71. I saw you Scott! You were AWESOME! You and your fancy suit. A job well done i have to say!

  72. Great job Scott! Now that wasn’t so painful was it? Nope. DARN! Now we have nothing to hold over your head to force you to write another midnighters! -I mean…uh….um….I wasn’t planning that….*whistles innocently*….

  73. i didn’t cu (grrrrr not in ny grrrrrrrrr) but i’m sure u did great!!!!!!

  75. I’M BACKERS, PEOPLE!! I’ve been in the process of moving these past two weeks. I got internet, cable, and phone like two days ago, just kinda…forgot…to get on *hee hee*. Figures that scott-la would blog about one of the most interesting and fawesome books in the history of interesting and fawesome books THE WEEK INTERNET IS NOT IN MY HOUSE!!!
    woot scott-la good job and nice tips. nice haircut btw :): ): )
    i’m so uber-bored right now. i cant go outside bc it’s the year we have cicadas- and it happens to be the 14th year when the cicadas are there worst. so there’s the fact that if i ride my bike or scooter, i’ll prolly hit a cicada every two seconds. I also cant do that bc i live on a hill that is fun to go down, but going up is very painful and tiring. My backyard is in the 2 week process of an in-ground pool being built. Yes I said TWO FREAKIN’ WEEKS!!! and i live a mile and a half into my subdivision, which means I cant really do anything bc i cant drive…. besides my family just moved to this area two weeks ago. We lived like 40 minutes away from here, so it’s not terribly confusing… but still.
    I’ve got computer and TV and Wii to do all day. that and eat&sleep. Yeah, funness. My parents actually suprised my sister and me with a wii so we got Wii Sports and guitar hero. I’ve been playing The Sims 2 on ym computer- most fawesomest computer game evR.

  76. bored bored bored bored bored bored bored……. oh gess wat i’m saving my Joeseph-Beth Booksellers gift card i got for my bday (november) for Bogus to Bubbly :)……bored bored bored bored bored bored bored. rawr.

  77. Emily-wa:
    We had the cicadas last year. Tips: 1. Carry an umbrella. 2. Wear boots. 3. Avoid walking under trees at all costs. You’ll be fine.
    An Extra At Heart:
    I am bookmarking that NOW! Your link works, by the way, but Scott-la’s not till the third segment, so you might want to fast-forward…

  78. I had cicadas last year too. The first like week you are reallly scared of them but once your friends force you to put one on your hand, their only scary while they fly. Oh, and toward the end of the summer if you see a cicada that looks like its siamese, believe me its not. They are everywhere, then. (mating, ewwww!) Book names, people, book names! Four more days of school!! Yes!

  79. Thanks an extra at heart! Scott was great. Too bad I couldn’t see that on my big screen tv though. Darn.

  80. I have felt bad all weekend! That is just not fair! I feel like i need to just…idk! But i dont feel like people do when they feel good. I need something to make me feel better!

  81. Haha thanks Amy and Tara-la. the issue I have is that my house is just a few yards away from trees. ALOT of trees. As in like a small forest. Yea.
    Thanks for the link, An Extra At Heart! Haha we’ll prolly have the call you AEAH from now on…..
    Anyone here play The Sims 2? Most fawesome and addicting computer game EVER!!!

  82. omg i play the sims 2! it is so addicting! I am making the coolest house ever! Its like sooooo cool!

  83. Hmm…. how about some hot chocolate and your favorite movie, Bran-la? 🙂 hehe, sounds good to me. Although I just ate a banana split (yummyness) and don’t own any of my fave movies… which seems kinda strange.

  86. *shivers* I HATE cicadas!!!!! Oh my gosh thank God they aren’t where I live but when I was visiting my aunt a couple summers ago I had to deal with them for a whole freaking month and just EW! They scare the crap outta me!!!!! Are those the ones that leave icky little skeleton looking shells stuck to the sides of buildings??? Ew, and I’m not even afraid of bugs! Just them! They give me the heebiejeebies!!!!! (<hehe,funny word….)

  87. How many expansion packs do you have?

    I have all but 2. I dont have Teen Style Stuff or….i think thats it!

  89. lol Tally&Zane i’ve been fortunate enough NOT to have seen one up close… that i know of. We also have a handful of woodbees, which, while they don’t sting, are VERY NOISY AND SCARE THE CRAP OUTTA ME!!! I have most bugs…. i like flinch and/or scream at nearly any bug that looks even the slightest bit like a bee or wasp if i dont know what it is at that split second. Yea.

  91. Wow, Bran-la. you’re lucky…. i’d prolly have a couple more but i’m going to a uber-expensive summer camp that goes down the FL for a week, and it’s like fawesome so i’ve been told. My friend went last year, it’s called YoungLife. it’s a christian thing that has some college kids come to middle and high schools nearby and talk to them during like lunch and stuff, and we have these superfun meetings that do the craziest stuff. The camp is supposedly more like a resort than a camp 🙂 it’s like 500 bucks to go and my mom only gave me $100, and with my &6.50 per week allowence i had to do some SERIOUS fundraising…. luckily i sold enough of the fundraising stuff that i owe my mom like around $50. Not terrible…

  92. wait i cant even tell what i meant when i typed post 89…. i think i meant “With most bugs” instead of “I have most bugs….”

  93. fawesomeness… freetime and bon voyage seem really cool. I hope Maxis keeps making Sims2 expansions after they make Sims3 which they’re working on. Sims3 doens’t SEEM like it’s much different from Sims2.

  94. Well if the camp id fun then its all worth it.

    I feel like im hungy but at the smae time i dont no if i am. I feel like a fatty if i eat right now i mean its night time.

  96. Bon Voyage is cool but i rarly send my sims on trip because i hate waiting for it to load but the vacation spots are awesome.

  97. so i hear… i’ve made one sims video so far. working on another, but im not very good at it and my computer isn’t very nice to me- my videos are either normal speed but very very grainy or not-grainy but slow. which doens’t make for a good music video… search acekittycatkitty on youtube and check out my videos. i’ve got one sims video and a few VMK videos. VMK has closed, unfortunately, but was a disney-made chat thing like runescape without the…killing and fighting i guess.

  99. ughh.. i’m totally dreading Monday. 🙁 conditioning starts up… ugh.. so out of shape.. and we’ll probably be doing distance on that huge awful track that i loathe so much. weight lifting.. not bad. and then 3 hours of sitting in a chair listening to my boring teacher throw hissy fits. completely dreading it. and on Friday he was already telling us about the load of homework that he had planed for Monday… what kind of a teacher does that to kids?… making them pessimistic and crap. i still have homework to do tonight. a lot of it. and your not suppose to get homework in the summer. plus i was eaten alive at softball practice by those dang mosquitoes!

    omg! YoungLife! seriously? we have that here too!! i could have gone to the camp but i’m already gonna be on vaca when it is going to be. except ours were in Michigan and Minnesota. ha! that’s still funny though! i didn’t know younglife was such a nationwide thing.

    i use to be so addicted to the sims. haven’t played it for a really long time though. i lost the disc. and it’s pretty pathetic too… my mom bought 2 discs one for me and one for my brother so we wouldn’t fight.. (this was years back when Sims2 had just come out).. and then we moved to a new house and both of us lost our discs. pretty pathetic huh?

    i’ve been feeling that way too Bran-la. like i’m not really hungry during the day but then like i’ll stay up till three in the morning reading and i’ll get a stomach ach cuz i haven’t eaten all day. but i don’t really want to eat then so i just let it pass.

  100. woo im watching jurrasic park though im not really paying attention, its more my brother and sisters movie i always freaked out when i watched it because when i little i watched it with my brother and sister and we were sitting on the bed and whenever something semi scary happened my sister or brother would pull a metal wire under the bed making it shake it scared me out of my wits

  105. Way to go, Scott! Regardless of your problems, you pulled off your (short!) interview very well. I like the idea of a mother-daughter book club. I might put that into practice this summer.

    And wow — you’re tall! You towered over the other guests. :o) (I could be snarky and say you towered over them in talent, too.)

    Thanks for putting up the link for us locationally challenged folks!

    (I hope everybody notices the add on at the end of your last blog entry.)

    WandaV

  106. HAHAHAHAHA OMG THIS IS SO SUPER FREAKY- some of the last tshirts on kenzie’s link i downloaded as custom content for THE SIMS 2! OMG LOL ROFL IT’S SO WEIRD!!!!!
    so sup peeps?

  107. Kenzie you should get the tshirt with the muffin that says “Ah munna eat CHOO!!!!”
    it’s cute 🙂

  108. I like the shirt that says “Magic is just stuff science hasnt made boring yet”! Haha. Funny. My mom laughed!

    I am feeling better today. I dont no why i felt bad before but i did and now i feel better. But i have a sunburn and its bad. Its on my shoulders and under my eyes and over my nose. Now i look like some circus clown caue its a pretty dark red.

  109. HEY!

    Did you notice Scott put a link up to his INTERVIEW?

    Look at the last part of his last blog entry.

    whispers now: just thought you’d like to know.

  113. Kenzie, I like the one about haikus. That is exactly why my LA teacher wouldn’t let us write haikus this year. Well, besides the fact that she says that haikus were once a very difficult thing to write with a “turn” (new meaning) in the last line, but apparently now haikus are easy because they’ve been commercialized. I still like the shirt, though. I also like the periodic table one… but that’s just me. Me the science geek.

  114. …NO TIME TO WRITE! Ah…the bell is going to ring in a minute…

    Hi All!
    Bye All!
    7 days till I’m back

  115. I’m going to have to watch this later! Cheers for getting on TV, Scott…I just want there to be a day when I see you on Oprah. Please? lol

    Side note: “Anna Smudge” is an awesome book! I bought it early at the NY Comic Con way back in April…The illustrations are amazing, and the artist signed it for me! Haha.

  117. emily-wa, that happened to me once (and it was REALLY long) so whenever i type something really long, i copy it before i push submit. only 3 more days of school! I am SO ready for sumer. On wednesday we have a half day so my friends and i are ordering an avalanche (ice cream with over 20 scoops) at the cooling station (ice cream shop) in the morning (it takes three hours to make) and then eating it after school! I am so MAD, i NEED to read a book. I just finished mine last week and i want to read twilight but none of my friends has it, the school library is closed, its checked out at the public library until june 30, unless its late, and i dont have enough money to buy it because im saving up to pay for half of a laptop. I NEED to read it, or another good book. To sumerize I NEED TO READ!! (i know im such a nerd 🙂 )

  118. Ha!! Comment 117, multiple of 13! I just got my friend to read midnighters and she keeps seeing multiples of 13 everywhere!!! I have a question. 156 is 13 times 12, so what happens? Do darklings like 156, or hate it??

  119. i’m trying really hard not to read Eclipse right now cuz i have a ton of drivers ed homework to get done. but i’m at a really intense part and it’s killing me. ugh. and i know if i pick it up and finish the chapter i was just on that i will just keep going and end up reading for hours upon hours. ahhhhh what the heck. i won’t be able to read it all this week since i have softball games every night and then drivers ed test on Friday plus probably tons of homework from my mean drivers ed teacher. ugh. even less time to read tonight. my mom just called and told me i have to babysit her friends one month old. grr..

    Twilight is addicting. Beware.

  121. me too! i only have 200 more pages of Eclipse left (and i just started reading yesterday. i needs to learn to pace myself)… *cries* …what will i do until August 2nd?!

  122. I’ve been waiting for august 2nd since like December! ah! I’m going insane waiting for it but I suggest some fanfic to occupy your Twilight addiction! It helps a little! Or just reread it….I’ve read the series like four or five times…

  123. I’ve been reading so much. I have exams in a weeks too. Oh wow, I’m stressed. Maybe I need theropy. I’ll get it if anyone hears the way I talk. I combine random words to make a word that makes sense, like insawsome(insanely awsome). Yeah, many people think I have issues. I wonder what quotation marks would say to each other if they could talk.

  124. Um, Andrea-La i’m beginning to agree with the people who think you have issues…. “I wonder what quotation marks would say to each other if they could talk.” What the heck…? rofl. Its okay, you can be special. The way ppl nowadays take the meaning of special, not Scott’s take on it 😉
    Thanks, Tara-la, for the tip. I’ll prolly do that. And who can seriously eat more than 20 scoops of ice cream…? how much does that cost? lol.
    I read Twilight, and yes it’s addicting. I really really want to read New Moon soon. I’ve got a pretty big list of books to read… heehee.

  126. No, really. What would quotation marks say? I think they would totally argue, you know, about who should be first and all that. Maybe they would go on strike, because of being sick of saying other people’s words rather than their own. I mean, quotation marks have every right to speak their mind.

  127. Ok, Andrea-La, you’re starting to scare me. But then again, i scare myself sometimes. What does rofl mean???

  128. haha TZ you make me laugh because at our school the REALLY really smart kids ride short busses because they come from all over our town(kinda big) for the extra advanced program. I wanted to get one of my friends whos in that class a shirt that says “My mom says I ride the short bus because I’m special” It fun to tease them.

  129. “Rofl” = rolling on the floor laughing. That’s according to the AIM chat dictionary…

    Andrea-La, I’m special too. Very. Recently I have developed stalkerish behaviors… what else would you call running all over town to deliver things to my friends from school (theory: they only put up with my scariness because they feel bad that I don’t have friends) that they don’t want? I frequently scare people. And that’s just by laughing! Imagine what those scaredy-cats would think if I actually talked to them? You have a very good point about the quotation marks, though. I’m very glad I’m a person and not a quotation mark. Personally, I’m more inclined to think that the two quotation marks would be best friends, seeing as one can’t exist without the other… wait, that’s not true, because you can go
    “blah blah blah.
    “blah blah blah.”
    and it will be correct. Wow, that’s very interesting.

    At my elementary school, there were only three kids in the super-smart program (GRC, aka the Gifted Resource Center at the time, now ACE, aka Affective Cognitive Enrichment) but they rented us a long bus. For THREE PEOPLE! Then one of those people moved and another replaced her. Then one skipped a grade. Then the replacement person dropped out. Then, in eighth grade, it was just me. I had an entire class period to myself each day. Hee hee. Thank goodness they only carted the elementary kids around, or else I would have gotten an entire bus to myself.

    I wonder how long this will look. Probably very. Sorry.

  130. Oh my Gosh Andrea-la we may be joined at the brain! That is like SO true! They would hecka fight and then they’d get all depressed cuz they didn’t have fists or even their own words to fight with and then we’d have to cart them off to therapy! It’s true! – I mean…uh…I’ve never tested that theory, *whistles innocently*.

  131. I hope your whistling isn’t like mine. When I wistle it is so high that people think that there is something wronge with the intercome or something. Then I burst out laughing and they don’t know why. Maybe we are like quotation marks. People are quotation marks of imitation. Everyone is the same because everyone is imitating a celebrity. But without quotation marks, books wouldn’t make much sense, so maybe our society needs quotation marks. Maybe some people who refuse to act like quotation marks are like the quoation marks on strike. Everyone else is a sheep and we are frogs!!!!!!! Or prehaps we are irriwaddy dolphins. HMMMMMMM………………………. Also, everyone at school thinks that I am insane for a variety of reasons.
    1) I whistle so high that people can’t hear, but it bugs them.
    2) I run through the halls telling people about quotation marks
    3) I walk up to random people asking how to open a metephorical door.
    4) I shreek for no real reason.
    5) Whenever it rains outside, I run around wildly trying to get wet(I even have a towl in my locker)
    6) I am very good at confusing people.
    7) I ask random people if they would rather be locked in or locked out(many often walk away at this point)
    8) I will randomly start talking in a fake british accent
    9) I rant about random topics. Today it was quotation marks. My band teacher overheard this conversation and walked away.
    10) I randomly reenact sceans from books. Like that one time when I did the final battle between harry and voldemort using my friends cleaning rod for her flute as a want.

    That’s about all I can think of for now.

  133. The clouds say hi back. One of them looked a little like a bird that was going to go kill a fish. Poor cloud-fish. I wonder why people take quotation marks for granted.

  140. I can just whistle really loudly its actually kinda lower.
    Ijust got a new book City of Bones, very odd but so far so good.
    I should be doing homework prolly will

  141. Once in LA class in sixth grade, I was whistling, but I didn’t realize it. Then my teacher said, “Who’s the happy camper that’s whistling?” I stopped immediately. Mid-note. Everybody laughed. Now I don’t even go to the school that was the scene of the crime anymore, but to this day, no one knows it was me whistling. After that incident, I never whistled another note.
    I hum instead.

  143. I tryed to join Westerboard before it became so top secertive and it now needs a username and password word to even see the site. I never got a conformation email about being a user. How do I join now?

  144. I don’t know…is not knowing a good thing or a bad thing? Prehaps not knowing is for the better in some cases. But maybe not in this one. Anyway, I don’t know.
