Wild Coaster

The roller coaster in Uglies is one of my favorite images from my own work. So I was mighty thrilled when, few months ago, a commenter named Geslepen pointed me at a Flickr set of decaying roller coaster photos:

There’s something about the sinuous, elegantly mathematical lines of roller coasters mixed with the chaos of nature that’s just gorgeous. I can see Tally and Shay zipping around in there, getting whacked by tree branches and laughing it up. (Good times.)

In other news, Terri Brown posted this interview of her by me in celebration of her debut novel. Read My Lips is about a deaf girl who is co-opted by a popular clique for her lip-reading abilities. A really interesting point-of-view character in a classic YA plot of gossip, acceptance, and what we’re willing to pay for the promise of popularity.

  1. thats a pretty fawesome roller coaster. its not like wat i imagined b/c i imagined a metal one. like an ACTUAL metal one like the ones @ hershey park or six flags or bush gardens but this will definately work instead of wat i imagined. well, kind of. just 2 give u a taste of wat i imagined was tht just think of STORM RUNNER in Hershey and place tht in a forest setting like this 1 and there u have wat i imagined. anyways this is pretty fool.

    See ya!!!! :mrgreen:

  2. i thought tht the coaster was a metal one. this 1 is a wooden! ask me how i no. cuz i only ride wooden roller coasters. this works but it doesnt work. it works cuz of the location and the rotting but it doesnt work b/c its wooden and the key word is ROTTING. also check out the other fotos. theyre pretty fool!!!

    See ya!!!! :mrgreen:

  3. I recently read a book about being deaf, and it was AWESOME!!!!! I reccomend everyone go read ‘Hurt Go Happy’, her best friend is a chimpanzee! Now, I’m off to reserve myself a copy ‘Read My Lips’. The content sounds very different from ‘Hurt Go Happy’ though.
    When do we get magentic hoverboards of our own?

  4. I am in love with that coaster. Perfect image of what I saw while reading it. I think I’ll just stare at it in awe for a few more moments…or decades….whichever comes first.

  5. Awesome picture. I think the image would be even more powerful in the spring, with green leaves rather than the dead forest. And I’m kind of wondering what that car is doing there…? Why did somebody leave their car by an old roller coaster?

  6. Yes, this one is wooden and the one in the book was metal. Thanks for your attention to EVERY DETAIL. (And I mean that.) Also, the one in Uglies is probably larger and in a more urban-ruin context.

    But the shapes and stuff are still cool.

  7. fool roller coaster. not exactly how i imagined it but it’s the perfect scenery.

    that book sounds really good!

  8. pretty cool! :mrgreen:

    wooden roller coasters are much scarier that metal ones, because they’re really creaky. i went on one at a fair once, and even though there were no loops or terribly steep downhills, it was pretty freaky.

  9. Well, I feel totally brain-missing. Didn’t even notice the one in the pic was wooden till after I posted that comment. Still an awesome coaster though, and still pretty dang close to what I had in mind.

  10. This is truely GORGEOUS. The mixture of the wild and civilization, especially with the image of the wild winning over the peices of civilization, is mesmerizing.
    It does look like something you’d find post-end of the world. Now we just need pictures of a city that has succumb to the ability of nature.
    I think there’s one in Russia that was abandoned in the 70s…

  11. Good morning, people. I’ve never been on a roller coaster… unless you count the little kid ones i’ve ridden at Kings Island (It was Little Bill!!! WOOT!), a park in IN called Holiday World that i get to go back to sometime this summer, and the one at the local Six Flags. but never a normal one. I honestly don’t plan on it anytime soon. Although I’ve been on water slides that are practically roller coasters but with water, sometimes a boat, and goes only down/turning pretty much.

  12. I like the rollar coaster, but it looks like it was made of wood. Is it? Because I know in the book it was a metal rollar coaster. I;m not really sure about it though, so don’t take my word fot it.

  13. omg that coaster AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    wen i saw that my eyes got like really big and i almost fell over

  14. is there going to be an uglies movie?
    so many are saying so

    have you checked out some peoples names on websites?
    they have some cool names just 4 them

  15. i agree emily-wa but at the same time im sooooo attached to uglies that i dont think a movie cud even change my images in my head, the covers didn’t but if they make an uglies move they have to make a pretties specials and extras to and the ending song of specials HAS!!! to be Mad World the lyrics are so perfect.

  16. Rosie-wa, what i’m most afraid of is the producers/writers changing everything like they did with nearly any other book-turned-movie. They’ll change alot, and even just a couple things changed wouldn’t be right. The book deserves to stay the same, so if that means no movie then Im fine with it. i mean, look at Twilight- the characters for the movie look ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like the characters in the book, but they obviously didn’t care about what their audience thought because they didn’t change actors.

  17. That coaster is amazing. I noticed a broken down car near it in the above pic. It is just how i imagined it being in Uglies except maybe a little older and more beat-up.

  18. well I can’t say I caught that,Scott. I think when you read 40 plus books in a couple of monthes it gets difficult to rember things!

  19. Scottt, I’m still really wondering about the

    UGLIES MOVIE….

    anything new you can tell us about that?!

  20. the thing about an uglies move is that: how will they do the operation? i mean, plastic surgery is SO not that hi-tech yet, and also, would the actors/actesses wanna have a surgery thing like that for life? makeup just wouldn’t cut it. also, the specials. i mean, how are u supposed to make someone look wolf-like w/o srsly hurting them? i mean, there is photoshop, ets. i mean, they use it alot on movies for like monsters, so it might still be possible.
    i just don’t want my images of everything to be ruined. it stinks…
    then again, if they do a good job, then that’s be awesome to have a great movie.
    but the movie people often ruin movies.
    then again, in lotr (lord of the rings) they did an AMAZING job (in fact, we’re gonna have a marathon soon, all of the extended versions, when my older sis’ r outta school…). if they make it good and don’t mess it up, then i’d be happy, but it they mess it up, then i’ll be really bad.
    it’s up to u, scott-sama. u have to sell the rights to the book right? or the right to make a movie. something like that. well, choose well (if u choose at all) DON’T LET THEM MESS IT UP!!
    neways, that’s a cool rollercoaster. dunno if i’d wanna ride it, tho…

  21. no no no no no no. you guys have no faith. Have you seen The Hills Have Eyes? Scariest Movie ever. And if experts of the industry can make mutants look that convincing, gorgeous pretties will be easy…

  22. I love it! Sorry about my earlier comment, I didn’t have time to read all the other comments before I posted my first one. It is totally bubbly! πŸ™‚

  23. that is what i had in mind too. it looks reaaally cool. i thought it was a metal coaster too. hmm maybe my brain isn’t working right.

  24. That roller coaster looks so fool/skate! That book by the other author looks interesting too.
    That look fun to see Tally and Shay riding that though.

  25. fawesome, scott-sama!!! i didn’s look @ the othr 1’s, but i wil as soon as i’m done typing this. i’ve never ridden a roller coaster b4, tho, but i do plan on doing so this summer. πŸ™‚ aw!! so close!!!! number 40!! 1 off!! danget! o wel. i think i’ll live. @ least i didn’t get a darkling number. o & idk y the site is so freakishly huge on ur computer, Tally & Zane, it isn’t on mine. :’ yea idk. UGLIES MOVIE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that wud b so0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o fawesome!!!!!!! cept bout the surgery & all, like UMR-wa mentioned. and all that high-tech stuff thats like everywhere in the books. wud special effects b able to actually make it look real, or wud everything just look plain retarded? things like some of the buildings in New Pretty Town, the pretties, hoverboards, hovercars, the Rusty Ruins, the specials & thier technologies & abilities? kind of like how i’m worried how the Twilight movie will turn out, wat with all the vampires can do. (not gona say anymor – dont want 2 spoil it 4 any1 who hasnt read it yet [i h8 that]) but yea…. just make sure you get the right people to make it, Scott!!!

    p.s. : i think they shud make Midnighters MOVIES, not a tv series. that wud b waaaaaaaaay better. πŸ™‚

    mk. l8rz. πŸ˜€ πŸ™‚

  26. woa!!!! how did that happen???? i was on 40. okay, watevr. so i got comment number 44. o wel. stil didnt get 39.

  27. They looks cool i didn’t realize the coaster in the book though was metal and this was wooden but i guess it would need to bee metal to ride a hover bored on it!

  28. GO SCOTT-LA YOU RULE it’s a great pic and it goes with a great book go go go SCOTT-LA KEEP ON WRITING VERRY FOOL BOOKS

  29. oh wow! These pictures are AMAZING! πŸ˜€

    I love the ones that show how it was in use and now….omg. so cool. I would love to see how it looks at night though! since that’s the scenes in and book and all!

    oh wow. I just thought that over. How scary would it be to be there at night! That pic with the deer was so ominous…and that was in the day time!!!! XD

  30. Very similar to the way I pictured it! I can imagine standing up there at night, the crumbling peaks of rusty buildings in the distance. Spooky and awesome.

  31. OH okay ppl who were in the whole opinion thing (Andrea-la, Brna-la, TZ, etc.), this comment is geared toward you. Although other people might enjoy this too. There is a book called “In the Chat Room With God” and is amazingly cool. it’s not a book where they talk about why this is wrong and you should do this sorta thing, I found it in my YA section at the library. It’s written in chat-room style, with the computer screen and IM names and everything. See for yourself- it’s pretty cool and made me LOL (literally!) a few times. It answers some of the questions we’ve been discussing, too.

  32. OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW. I’M USING CAP-LOCK BECAUSE I AM SO SO SO HAPPY! EMILY-WA, I LOVE THAT BOOK! I HAD TO PAY LATE FEES AT THE LIBRARY BECAUSE I DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO GIVE IT BACK! I STARE AT IT AT BOOKSTORES! LOVE THAT BOOK. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! (Emily-wa, are we connected at the brain or something?)

  33. Then…we’d be blessed. In a way I think he does come on here. Ya know? Like when you were comforting Meghan-la just now, and when we shared our faith, in what we believe to others…he’s there. Commenting, he just has…a different type of keyboard that’s connected straight to our hearts.

  34. Uh…i dont want to go in the God talk again. It puts me a bad mood. Not. A. Good. Thing. (you should see what im like in person. Can someone say “hormonal”?

  35. strange…..and Bran-la, don’t worry. You’re not the only one. I think my little brother may be going through his mid-life crisis…and he’s 10.

  36. But yesterday i got stressed!! And i was ready to scream!!

    Lets put it this way:
    If its really true that God would send away people for mistakes or being Gay then i dont want to no him. Just like i dont hang around people who are rude…im not going to worship someone who is rude. So if hes like that, then im going to be the better person. And yes, if it means giving up faith then thats what it has to be.

    But i dont think hes like that.

  37. Hola, hi, hello, wuts up, how are you, greetings, aloha, ello govna, boo, i need help………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………seriously………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..really i do……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….i mean it………………………………………………………………………………………………………………HELP………………………………………..

  38. ………………..you see thats the problem…………………..i dont know……………………………………………………………………………..

  39. ………………………wait its about a friend…………………………………………………………………………………….

  40. today was good. i got 2 new bats. a new glove. and a new bat bag. …i was in desperate need of a new glove (says my friends who complain that my beautiful little glove is too small.. i still loves it though.) and my mom got me a bat.. (i needed one.) ..but it was too light. so we went to the sports store and picked out another bat that is heavier. but i liked that light bat so i bought it for myself. and so now i have one heavy bat for pitchers who are slower. and one lighter bat for pitchers who are faster. and since i have bats now i had to get a new bag cuz there is no possible way to shove them into the smallish bag i have now. so in other words it was a good day. mmmk well i should sleep. another day of conditioning. weight lifting. and softball camp tomorrow. laters! πŸ™‚

  41. I got colored on by a 4 and 5 year old while babysitting them and then went home to read, continue writing a story of mine, amd play guitar hero. Kay-wa, wow…I never had to do that kind of conditioning for softball…odd.

  42. Hi everyone!
    Totally fool roller coaster pictures. I might even like the wood better than I imagined it… with all the horizontal lines and rotting-nosity…

    It’s so weird how some people here have never been on a roller coaster! But I live near Hershey park, so I have an unfair advantage πŸ™‚

  43. Andrea-la I think we could be either long-lost twins or like you said joined at the brain πŸ˜‰ Because I thought of another thing making us similar- i love swimming πŸ™‚ I thought about doing swim team but… idk why but i had decided not to. Maybe it was the rediculously early practices… my swimming instructor (I refused to call hre my swimming teacher) told me I was good enough. I’m pretty quick, and, as you surely know, playing a band instruments allows you to go longer without breathing than your average non-band person.
    Bran-la, read this book. In the Chat Room with God has a character EXACTLY LIKE YOU. It’s freakish. I mean, other than her name, she’s practically YOU. Read it. Before I have to start typing the book on here.

  44. Oh, good news- I found the notebook with my story in it. I’m off to write before i go to flute lessons (which my mom woke me up an HOUR EARLY for…) and then who knows where else. i think my mom wants to go to the mall. JC Penny’s to be exact… and other places too.
    Ciao! Au Revoir! Bye! See Ya! Laters! Peace Out! Tah Tah for Now! TTFN (same thing i know)!!!!!

  45. OMG! I requested for my library to buy The Risen Empire, and guess what! They have an ACQ on Order for it! There are all ready 3 requests for it, and I’m number one! I’m sooo happy!
    Now I just need to get them to buy number 2…because one with out the other doesn’t work…

    ~peace~

  48. Bran-la God doesn’t send ppl away from heaven and to hell, The choices ppl make in there life time decide it for them he gives us many times that we can choose him and get the chance to go to heaven after this life but if all threw this life we decide to live for the world and ignore god and what he wants for us then we never will get that chance, or if when we do something against his will then we have to ask for his forgiveness

    Pretty much god doesn’t want to send us to hell we kinda send our selfs there… God wants for all of us to end up with him in heaven, but we have to live the way he wants us to live to get there

    Just wanted to say that…

    Emily-wa do you know when we leave for wyldlife (day, time,and where were meeting at) and when where comeing back (again day time and where) Thanks!!!!!

    Oh and becca-la isn’t mad at me

  49. well said, lora-la (technically it should be lora-WA)!!! but let’s not get into a debate about religions right now. i can get VERY defensive, if you know what i mean.

    megan-la, i’m sure that you have a bunch of people who care about you. if you died, then people would notice. it’s important to realize what you DO have, instead of what you DON’T have. just look around you and i’m sure you’ll realize that you either have a loving family, loving friends, or both!

    let’s see, good day…good day…
    well, i’m on summer vacation! yesterday, i didn’t leave my room (except to go to the bathroom, ya know) until like 12:30. i was reading and making friendship bracelets. then when i went down i discovered that my older sis had a friend over to study for finals, and i was in my pjs (talk about embarrassing 😳 ). but that was ok cuz they spent mosta the time in the living room studying except for lunchtime, so w/e. my older sis has half days until her last day, when after that she has, um, nonexistant days. so ya. today i slept til like 10 or 11, cuz i can’t really stay still for long periods of time unless i’im completely drained. so w/e. actually i was reading the finer points of the alex rider series (mainly the beginning and the end) so ya

    oooo has anyone else read the maximum ride series????? i’ve read the 1,2,3 books, and i’m pretty sure the 4th will come at the liberry today (they get a delivery on tues, thurs, sat). ya, we go to the liberry so often that i’ve memorized that. oftentimes, at least one of our cards r maxed out (all the kids and my mom have a liberry card–i’m not sure bout my dad). ya cuz we check out so many books, the people at the liberry say that they get more funding cuz of us!!! teehee.

    has anyohne read the ranger’s apprentice books? SOO good but yesterday i found the website for it, and it said that in australia, there are SEVEN BOOKS but here in the states we only have FOUR BOOKS. i mean, talk about annoying. the fifth book in australia was released in NOVEMBER IN 2006!!! i mean, talk about lame. that’s like two years for it to travel around the world. that’s plenty of time, right??? right??? huh???? huh???
    the author, john flanganan or something, on the site said that he was working on the eighth book, and the ninth book was already planned!! i mean, srsly. come. on. we in the US of A have an appetite for books, too right? we deserve to have the series continued, right???? RIGHT!!

    sry, i’m raving. i’ll shut up now.

  50. yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipes that’s a long comment.
    dum dee dum wasn’t me (cough cough hack hack wheeze wheeze snort snort sniffle sniffle).
    ahem.

  51. o ya and i realized that i got comment 39!!!!! (like, 24 hours afterwards, but still). WHOOPPEEEEE!!!
    just two more comments after this and i’ll have 100, too!!

  52. yahooo!!!! comment 104–13×8!!!!!! teeheeheeheeheheeheeheeheeheheheheheheheheheh i’m so cool!!! :mrgreen: jk…
    unless…u think so too. do u???

  53. well, since you guys aren’t here this is what i have to say. go to http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4286880/1/Reborn and read the story. it’s really good. i don’t know who wrote it, but it is almost sounds like something stephenie wrote, so in other words it’s really great. so twilighters, be sure to check it out!! and anyone else for that matter too, there is never such a thing as too many twilighters! =) πŸ™‚ πŸ˜‰

  54. of course we do URM-wa! πŸ˜€

    and i’m here. i love Twilight. i’ll go check it out in a bit.

    TZ you don’t have to do conditioning and weights? we have them ever day of the week except Wednesdays in the summer. and then after conditioning and lifting we have open field on Tuesdays and Fridays. and right now we have camp. (all of this is preparation for fall league.) and for summer league we have games almost every night. practices Saturday mornings and Sunday nights. and 3 times during the week. it’s a LOT of softball. what do you guys have to do? ….my right arm (throwing arm) is sooooo much stronger than my left. lol. is it that way for you too?

  55. I’m getting into this late, oh well.

    The only coasters I’ve ever been on were at Ceder Point and Kings Island.

    KINGS ISLAND IS AMAZING! LOVELOVELOVE. THE BEAST! FIREHAWK! THE VORTEX! FLIGHT OF FEAR!

    *hyperventalates*

    and I’m here! I’m such a twilight fangirl. I was at a signing of Scott-la’s once, and he said he didn’t like them. Me and these two other girls were about to go nuts. he was all like, “their going to kill me!” good times.

  56. Hi everyone! Just read the first paragraph of that fanfic. Seems pretty good. I’ll read that tonight πŸ™‚
    Wow, it seems like everyone does softball except me… Ballet all the way! Hey, that rhymes! Woot! I’m kind of hyper today. SOoOoOoOo… Yay for Twilight fangirls! (And fanboys)

  57. Kay-wa, we only have a summer league here unless you do it for the highschool team(which I will if I make tryouts, I’m gonna be a Freshman so yeahs.) but before we have games we don’t really call it conditioning, but we do A LOT of running, which I don’t mind cuz I was the fastest on the team, that’s what track does for ya, and we did a TON of exercises and stuff and practices. We kinda had to practice more of the basics cuz like half the team at never played before(just my luck) and that was my third year playing…but yeah so we never did weights or a camp thing though…but that’s cool. I’ll go read that story on fanfic right now, I think I may have already though not sure…

  58. Lol Reese I tried it too once and I was the same way! My friend invited me to her softball game and at the end she asked me if I wanted to try hitting the ball. It did not go over well. Not only did I miss the ball, the bat just kind of flung itself out of my hand and towards her coach. Luckilly he moved…

  59. haha Sarah-Chan.

    yeah, they needed another player and I’m like, “I guess I couldn’t hurt them…at the very least…”

    I was very very wrong.

  60. See, this is why i didnt want to get into the religion thing… But no one believed me. And because someone said something i feel i should answer back by saying that i would rather just keep my religion preferences to myself. this debate is making me more atheist than its making me chirstian.

    Haha. I drew a mole on my face. i used a brown eyeliner pencil and now i have a large mole right over my lip. haha. It is very funny looking. And my sisters keep lokking at me funny. Dont they no how to have fun? Whats more fun than beiong weird? My mom told me to do it!

  61. Ya know what’s more fun than eyeliner moles? Drawing mustaches on little kids and writing expiration dates on their feet while they sleep! Okay well we only tried it on my little brother, but whatevs.

  62. OMG! I am totally writing an experation date on my forehead!!! That is so awesome!! No, ill do like a best by date. Ill do it like ‘Best By 4/4/01’. WHOOP!

  63. i don’t do softball–i played like baseball once, but i really stank at it, so ya. twas annoying, and i quit, etc. etc. i once played basketball, but i stank at that, too (tho my uncle said i had a talent for it…yeah. right.) w/e. i’m not really a sport kinda girl.
    tho i’m weird: i bat lefty and i throw righty…weird.
    i’m just special that way :mrgreen:
    and thank u, KAY-WA for saying that you think i’m cool…//glares at others who failed to mention that they think i’m cool, too//.
    well, at least i know who my FRIENDS are on this site.

    jk.

I also put eyeliner around my lips and i didnt fill it in so its like black eyeliner and pink. Haha. i look totally awesome. im taking a picture. what else am i suppose to do today?

  67. wooohooo comment 130……. 13×10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    tee heee i am so lucky today…
    39, 104, and 130…

  68. It added up to 9. close enough right? i mean its not bad…but its not good. O no…what is that…in the corner!! O, its me. Why am i in a corner? Well, that is a good question. Sadly, i cannot answer that. Im not authurized to release that information at this time.

    Look up on youtube Bon Qui qui and watch it. Its from MadTV and she works at king burger. Its soooo funny.

  69. Why thankyou Reese! Anywhoooooo…Bran-la, you sound like you’ve had some sugar recently, sugar rushes are fantastically awesome, and I’ll say this again…Please read my fanfic and review! *puppy dog eyes* Pah-wease??? Yeah so….I need some criticism! Tell me what I’m doing wrong, what I’m doing right, if I should just go crawl under a rock and never write again….LoL, I need to know these things. And since I’m really pushy I’ll put the link again!

  70. haha. no prob URM-wa! πŸ˜€

    i played basketball once. it was a mistake. lol. i only scored one basket all season. πŸ™‚

    like 4 or 5 years ago i hit the catcher with my bat. but it wasn’t my fault. see i stepped out of the box, exactly like i’m suppose to, took a practice swing and she walked up behind me to get the ball and i hit her really hard in the sholder. and it probably looked really bad too cuz i don’t exactly like the girl… she has done some very bad stuff… (but we don’t need to get into that.) and so the game stoped for like 5 minutes and i’m just standing there by home plate feeling really really awful. it was bad.

    and TZ i play on the highschool league. it so much fun! i loves it! we all have nicknames… mine is Stacy.. i don’t know why exactly… i guess they thought i looked like a Stacy. lol. but yeah. for highschool we do a TON of conditioning and then in August we have two-a-days… worst week of my life. we all call it Hell week.

    http://s259.photobucket.com/albums/hh289/Impish_Dragon/?action=view&current=Untitled.flv …pretty fool video to remind us of our troops fighting for our rights in Iraq… i bet a bunch of you have already seen it but check it out if ya want.

  71. It’s VERY fun. Also, the only sport that I can do is swimming. Except I really do badly at backstoke because then I band my head on the “bonk head”. Also known as a “bulk” head. Bonk head makes way more sense.

  72. I took a picture of this one guy’s shoe. It was so funny. I did it right when my Bible teacher was walking by. I think that he thinks that I’m insane. He’s not far off though.

  73. Wow…
    I finished another book- “Love Among the Walnuts” by Jean Ferris (or something like that…) who also wrote one of my fave books, “Once Upon a Marigold.” Anyone read it?
    Bran-la your song scares me.
    Andrea-la you hobbie kinda scares me. But not as much as Bran-la’s song, and it’s so weird it’s freakishly fawesome.
    Hmm… our cable is fixed. My cat tried to catch and eat a wasp that managed to get in our house (a side effect of living next to the woods…) so we had to hold him down until someone was brave enough to kill it (cough my mom cough hack with a cough hack hack flyswatter hack wheeze cough cough…*hic*). So yeah. That was interesting.
    I’m bored out of my mind. I’d continue my novel-in-the-making, but I don’t feel like it. Figures, we couldn’t find it when I was dying to write, but now that i have it I don’t feel like it…..
    LalalalablahblahblahBLAH.

  74. Andrea-la that reminds me of So Yesterday! And Kay-wa that vid is really touching, I have seen it before. Hmmm…I usually play either 1st of 2nd base, but a couple times I got put in the outfield when we needed it, cuz I can throw from center to home, but during a game, I did that(we got the girl out!) but I kinda screwed up my arm for a while but softball and track are the only sports that I do…

  75. i’m reading One for Sorrow right now. i’m not liking it too much though. and i’m going into Twilight withdrawl… *cries* …hmm so what do i do reread the Twilight series? or keep reading the book i’m reading now and hope it gets better? help. me.

  76. that’s fool TZ… i play 1st. and loves it. sometimes i’ll play 3rd though. i do softball and dance. fun stuff. i’m not a runner. never have been. never will be. so i especially hate all this conditioning. so is your right arm stonger than your left? mine is.

  77. Heck yes it is! It’s pretty funny….I reread the series like….4 times. We got a new smoke alarm today and it like screams at you! ALERT! ALERT! FIRE! FIRE! CARBON MONOXIDE! EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY! ALERT! It’s really loud.

  78. ha that’s awesome! a smoke alarm that talks! ours just makes a really loud ear piercing beep. it’s rather annoying. the first time the fire alarm went off at the highschool no one knew it was the fire alarm… cuz we had a sub that day and we were freshys so we all just kinda sat there. lol. it was bad. everyone was out of the building and we’re like telling the sub that we should probably leave and she’s like no lets just wait and see. lol. luckily it was only a drill though. coulda been bad.

  79. Yes. A stupid book that we read in class. I wish I could just write about something more interesting. Click my name to read my blog. I just updated it and it made no sense! *starts laughing hystarically*

  80. Hmmm….my mom’s allergic to lemons….so she’d probably just throw the metaphorical lemons at my little brother to get him to stop screaming at his stupid video games….LoL jk

  81. Not related to this post at all, but there’s no one I can really tell who will get it. I graduated from high school today, and I was experiencing postpartum depression, so I sat down to finish The Last Days and basically cut myself off from the rest of the world.

    It took me half hour after I’d turned the last page and one journal entry to later to realize how ironic that was, and then I laughed.

    So…. Thanks, in a way!

  82. LoL, uh….that’s a trick question. There’s no such thing as metaphorical Dr.Pepper. That’s a myth. Dr.Pepper is all to awesome to use as a metephor, it would like totally degrade it’s awesomenessosity! JK JK, it would totally count upon how much you sell your metaphorical lemons for. The answer could be one. That is if you trick someone into buying your ML for like however much the MDP costs or if you want to get rid of all your ML’s then you could sell them for cheap and still have enough. But I think I’d personally go with one. But the question is…do you buy metaphorical Dr. Pepper with metaphorical money….or normal boring money???

  83. I’m making up a story about how aliens from space come to earth on a flying pizza because they see a metiphorical lime shoe and want to capture it because they lost their metiphorical lemon shoe! YAY

  84. ahh, that roller coaster is AWESOME!i want to go hoverboarding on that so bad…
    it’s alright, andrea-la. insaneness is absolutely awesome.
    so are metaphorical lemon shoes. and limes. and shoelaces.
    and FAKE PLASTIC ARMS AND RUBBER CHICKENS!!
    yup, i’m insane too…hehehehehe….

  85. OMG! Kenzie, i love that song. My friend did a dance to it, it was so cool.

    I forgot to tell you guys but i am leaving on vacation today so i wont be on tomorrow that i no of. We are leaving tonight but i thought i would let you no. I might be able to get on though if they have computers or i can just use my moms phone.

    Last night i didnt get any sleep cause me and m friend were laughing at stupid stuff. And as i look back, i realize it wasnt funny at all.

  86. Aww, thats was a really cute commercial. The birdies who never get to fly…and the little penguin was fluttering his wings! Aw.

  87. Bran-la, I i didn’t think you did write that song… I never said I did O_o
    It’s just weird and…stuff. DID YOU GET THE BOOK YET?! If not I will seriously type a chapter a day on this blog until you decide to read it yourself!
    Andrea-la, you know what would be more fawesome than a ML OR a MDP? A whole wardrobe of Metiphorical Lemon Stuff, and A Fridge full of mediphorical Dr. Peppers!!! Oh ya! ‘Nough said πŸ˜‰
    Cute commercial. I want to hold a penguin, he was so cuteness!
    Andrea-la, type your alien space story onto here or your blog so i may see it’s full fawesomeness.

  88. I went to Borders to look for that book Emily-wa but they didn’t have it. So I got….uh…six others instead….I got Eagle Strike by Anthony Horowitz(cuz I have to finish the series) The Giver by Lois Lowry, Maximum Ride The Angel Experiment by James Patterson, Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr,Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead, and MadApple by Christina Meldrum. Anybody read any of these?

  89. the giver was REALLY good. Lora-la and I did the first of our two book projects on it, and made a pretty fun board game. After you read The Giver, you should read The Messenger. I know it’s out of order but trust me, you should save Gathering Blue for after The Messenger. That’s what I did because I hadn’t heard of Gathering Blue before I read The Messenger. They aren’t really sequels, just like sister books or whatever, although The Messenger may be the sequel to Gathering Blue… O_o
    Ugh, I ate too much Mac n’ Cheese for lunch… I’ve got that wretching feeling in my stomache -.-

  90. Ya know what stinks? the fact that when i get on club penguin, I don’t pay for it so i cant buy squat. nothing. 0. zero. nada. zip. zilch. You used to be able to buy a little pet and all, but now you cant even do THAT! What fun is club penguin if you can shop? Oh yea, I’m girl. You can just tell lol…

  91. Oh it isn’t. I just got bored out of my mind one day and got an account. It stinks. VMK was so much better, but disney had to go and close it O_o -.- rawr. And the new VMK substitue- VFK, created by some moms to kids who played vmk in New Mexico- freakishly stinks. Its in Beta right now, so obviously it’s got bugs, but I cant even create the account that i had saved ahead of time. It was the same as my VMK account, and all ym VMK friends were expecting me to meet with them on that account. So I gave up on it. I honestly don’t care about most of them… just a couple who were really good friends.
    VMK was a virtual chat world where you can trade items, dress a little avatar, chat (with a fairly good chat moderation) and play games and stuff. Super funness that is now CLOSED.

  92. Haha, Alex-wa i went to look at some of Scott-la’s oldest posts, and found one where he talked about some kid who read one of scott’s books- the entire thing- in the bookstore. So he sent Mr. Westerfeld $5 for the book, feeling bad about it. And now (or at least it was a few years ago) it is hanging in Scott-la’s house. hehe.

  93. Wow Andrea-la. Alex-wa, I’ve never been but I want to go someday. Andrea-la you are most defidently not a valley-girl lol.
    Which i figured because you’re here, on Scott Westerfeld’s blog, and swim instead of cheer and gymnatics. but still. I like shopping if I have any money. I just dont’ like shopping witout a purpose, meaning if Im not browsing for a certain item to buy later then i’d better have some cash on me to buy stuff, otherwise I don’t like it.

  94. the mall of america is the bigest mall in america, so it is freak’n huge!! but there’s an amusment park in it that’s kinda cool.

  95. Yeah it sounds pretty fool. Hey that’s a stereo-type Emily-wa. I’m a valleygirl and I’m here and I despise cheer and gymnastics, I play softball and play piano. LoL.

  96. Haha, I could LITERALLY live in my local bookstore, Joseph Beth Booksellers. Here’s why-
    Food: They have a little cafe type thing set up for drinks and snacks, prolly sandwiches. Also a Tony Roma’s next door, so I could eat there.
    Sleep (bed)- They have those fawesome shoe chairs all over the place, along with benches with cushions and some mini-bleacher-type things that would be pretty comfy.
    Bathing- Water Fountain πŸ™‚ Oh ya.
    money- Well if I couldn’t make anything, there’s always some change at the bottom of the fountain… however that would be only if I needed money. Or I could learn to make the cash register open, if absolutely needed. Although I don’t know why I would, considering if I can get into the cash reister I can get into to food storage which would be the only real necessity.
    obviously there’s a bathroom and plenty of entertainment- books. I could also go down about half a mile and go to the Mall, play piano at the music shop next door, go to Target that’s a little closer than the mall, or go to the movies which is about the same distance as the Target.
    I’d be pretty set πŸ™‚

  97. hehe. I don’t remember when I figured all this out. Prolly about 3 years ago.
    Also, If I got tired of reading, i’d get some exercise- there are some excaladors (pardon my spelling) that i could run up and down i few times. Although they’re pretty high up, it’s kinda creepy going down lol. Also, there’s like a train set and those Groovy Girls I could play with πŸ˜€

  98. I WEAR BLACK, so I MUST be a Goth.
    I’m YOUNG, so I MUST be naïve
    I LIKE TO BE MYSELF, so I MUST be cocky and arrogant
    I LOVE ANIMALS, so I MUST be a vegetarian
    IÒ€ℒm a TREEHUGGER, so I MUST be a drug addicted hippie
    IÒ€ℒm a MUSICIAN, so I MUST not be doing anything with my life
    I’m RICH, so I MUST be a conceited snob
    I’m BLOND, so I MUST be a stupid ditz
    I have A LOT OF GUY FRIENDS so I MUST be dating them all
    I have GOOD GRADES, so I MUST be a nerd
    Stereotypes suck! Copy, paste & add.

  99. HUH? Are you talking to your computer? My cusion’s computer’s name is Ham. I’m on my family’s computer, so it doesn’t have a name.

  100. okay, we need to establish a scale of least good to most fawesome with these-
    MetaphoricalLemontastical
    MetaphoricalLemonShoetastical
    MetaphoricalDrPeppertastical
    MilliHelen
    Helen
    MegaHelen
    fawesome
    with the Helen ones, obviously they’ll be in order but we need to know what could go in between millihelen and helen, and helen and megahelen. Ya know?

  101. ah i need to write this down before i forget it πŸ™‚
    I was writing my story last night, and i felt like drawing because i drew a blank in my story. So i atarted drawing this cute little anime-ish stuffed animal i won in the claw machine at walmart. it’s cute. I did the drawing pretty well, and now i don’t want to erase it but i have to in order to keep writing…

  102. i’m back. i’v tried keeping a diary, but i always forgot to write. recently, though, i started a susessful diary, though.

  103. I learned this during my nick.com-obsessed days when i wrote all this html stuff down so i could use it in message boards. There’s a super long one that like makes text move and adds all this fancy stuff like lines and dots and such that are colored. I dont wanna type it tho.

  109. the giver, too.oh, did you know that every book in the narnia series is based of a bible story?

  110. eh too much fighting and British speaking for me lol.
    Speaking of British talking, ever notice that most British books are extremely teen-girl oriented with like extreme romance scenes in them? Except harry potter, where i didn’t even realize it was a british book until someone “Snogged” someone else.

  111. Ok so really serious question here

  113. EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s from Chat Room with God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  114. oh! Here’s one…
    CrossKrys: SO, Blake, what makes you so sure of God?

    Blake7: Because I have studied it up and down and all around. I’ve read a ton. I’ve listened to formal debates and heated improptu arguments. I’ve argued with the youth pastor at or church, where my parents MADE me go until I was 16 Now they don’t make me go anymore. Yet I still go. And here’s one more thing: I didn’t want to believe in God. I felt kinda like you, Krys. But the love was overwhelming. The proof was overwhelming.

    JennSmiles: Ex-squeeze me? What proof? I see none. Where is God? Where is he or she right now, huh? Oh, God, hellooooooooooo?

    God: Hello.

  115. Oh I think I found what my beliefs are called(kinda)because I talked to my friend about this and found out she has the same sort of beliefs so I found a name for it(kinda)
    Pantheism
    Pantheism is the view that everything is of an all-encompassing immanent abstract God; or that the Universe, or nature, and God are equivalent. More detailed definitions tend to emphasize the idea that natural law, existence, and the Universe (the sum total of all that is, was, and shall be) is represented in the theological principle of an abstract ‘god’ rather than a personal, creative deity or deities of any kind. This is the key feature which distinguishes them from panentheists and pandeists. As such, although many religions may claim to hold pantheistic elements, they are more commonly panentheistic or pandeistic in nature

    My friend and I are still discussing

  116. Ah. I get it. But it worked either way. Now I’ll have dreams about God really coming here. Because that would be seriously coolical.

  118. I started Stargirl in school like 3 years ago but didn’t finish it because it was my teacher’s book, not mine. I want to read it tho. I may have already… idr. I also read A Series of Unfortunate Events. It was good, i just didn’t like the paragraph-long sentences. I like dialogue much more.

  119. I will listen in secret and silence once more. Good Bye, for now. Make sure to pray tonight, some of you haven’t. But you have, Alex. Thak you. Bye.

  120. Aww my kitty is so pretty… he’s got very short fur (for a persian at least) because he was so matted up we had to shave him. He’s actually more playful since then. He’s got kinda like sheeps wool i think. I tremiinds me of sheep’s wool, at least. He’s grooming. One of the many things that amaze me about cats is that no matter what situation they’re in, they find time to groom themselves. Sometimes even in the middle of the situation!

  121. U PEOPLE R INSANE!!
    did u know that??? i mean, i was just on yesterday or something and there was approz. 130 comments.
    NOW IT’S UP TO 441!!!
    do u agree that u r insane??
    well, to anyone who addressed me in the past THREE HUNDRED COMMENTS (tho i’m rarely addressed, sniff sniff snork snork sob sob etc πŸ˜₯ ), i apologize. i do not have all the time in the world to read ur peoples comments, surprisingly enough.
    not that i don’t enjoy our chats and debates etc, if i didn’t have any part in it, i find it rather dull mosta the time.

  122. actually, i retract that statement. i don’t find it all dull.
    but i do draw the line at THREE HUNDRED COMMENTS.
    ooooooooooooo fun another ten comments just were posted while i was typing.
    fun.
    jk
    anyways, i just had a brainstorm but i’m not telling anyone cuz some people might STEAL IT.
    not that i don’t trust you but a writer can’t be too careful…

  123. okay andrea la, if your saying that god doesn’t exist, then i don’t know what to do!!!!!!

  124. oooooooooookay another six comments in the last five minutes. that’s gotta be a record.
    and bran-la, from waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when when we were still in the 100s, I GOT 130!!
    MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    scroll up if u have to.
    and yes, emily-wa, we did establish that fact long ago.
    and i count myself as one of the crazier ones.
    AND PROUD OF IT!!
    well back to the story that i haven’t even started (but hopefully soon will)
    internet connection is sometimes a curse.

  125. Okay! So last night i was just sitting in bed and thinking you know about how i felt about religion. And after a while i came up with a word that seemed to suit my feeling.

    Any guesses?

  126. u guys r insanely fast typers (tho i am too…i have an 84AWPM (average words per minute for u acronymn-missing peeps out there)…
    and emily-wa, its not that i don’t trust you……………..well, i mean, hehe…um…hem…haw…cough….hee…hee…//nervously titters//…
    the long and the shorta it is, i LIKE my idea, and i don’t want you insanely fast typers to steal my story!!
    that’s the basic gist of it

  127. okay, i said IF your saying…. SEE? I am relived that it apperes you all belive in god. because i’m christian, and am a strong beliver in god and jesus, and i am sorry if i ever offended you by saying only what i really ment and what god wants us to do! and i do pray every night! so there!!!!

  128. i will not even comment on the insane speed of ur typing…
    i’m not gonna comment on the weird conversation going on.

  129. I was suppose to have 130…i claimed it…in my head. No. You couldnt even get me a going away gift? No. you couldnt! You had to STEAL IT!!! I will claim it some day!

  130. can we plz drop this whole ‘pretending to be God’ and everything? it’s really making me uncomfortable (i’m a strong Christian)
    and praying evry night, alex-wa, doesn’t mean that ur a devout Christian. it’s ur actions that define it.
    btw, alex-wa, r u a boy or a girl?

  131. i agree w/T&Z!!! STOP TYPING SO FAST!!
    i can’t do this!!
    and bran-la:
    i say again:
    MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    i feel better.

  132. I am no longer a WORSHIPER of God. As of a couple of days ago. Or maybe today. Who nos. The word that came to my mind was Hypocritical. “We must all accept each other…but i am going to send you to hell ;cause your not worthy.” “We must all forgive each other…but i am going to send to hell cause i haven’t quite forgiven you yet.” And we are suppose to be angels? No ones perfect.

  133. WHAT I’M TALKING BOUT EMILY-WA IS THE FACT THAT UR ALL TYPING TOO FAST!!!!
    not to yell or anything, but it is sorta confusing.
    actually, it’s VERY confusing…

  134. i know. evil laughing is so…stress relieving….
    not to say that i’ve been under stress, but……

  135. 2 things: STOP TyPiNG SO FAST!!!! and drop the whole subject of God NOW!! I will not talk about god if you can’t respect him!

  136. oh my gosh. i just got a comment in w/only one in between that and my previous one!!!
    that’s a first today

  137. i know. srsly. Christians rn’t hypocrites!!! but we’re not perfect either. no one is on earth.

  138. Same here. Why cant we talk about god? I’m getting sick of the fact we cant talk about such a strong subject in school, because aren’t we supposed to have the right of free speech?
    Anyway, I shall talk about God all i want! I’m strongly a Christian. Trust me, I’ve had some pretty rough bumps that i won’t talk about, and they’re the reason I’m such a strong Christian. So don’t tell me we’re being disrespectful to him. I don’t see what’s disrespectful oter than what Bran-la’s been saying…

  139. Emily-wa, dont think i am calling Christians hypocrites, I’m not. People are all different. I am- never mind!!! Im dropping it. Some people can say stuff but cant get feedback without going hog wild so i am going to keep my mouth closed!

    And my beliefs should be respected just liked yours, BTW.

  140. i guess it just makes me uncomfortable, with all the different branches of the Christian Church……
    but i think that if we give God enough respect, it’s ok to talk about Him…
    we can’t force our views on other people, tho…

  141. I will rip off my fake ugly mask, find Shay and the other cutters, and skin you alive!!!!!

  142. Dont you guys ever think i am trying to crush your beliefs or anything like that. I am not saying anything about you. I say the things i say in a hypothetical context.

  143. we can’t put people down for their beliefs. they have to decide for themselves. that’s y i’d feel more comfortable not talking about religion, cuz there’ll only be disagreements between different people from different religions, and that might get messy or something. i won’t stop people from talking bout religion, but i am now gonna work on my story.

  144. one of the reasons that a lotta people came to America (not that all of u r americans, but w/e) wuz for religious freedom, so evryone has a right to choose their religion. i am HONESTLY gonna go work on my story now.

  145. Religion is stereotypical because people think that at all churches all you do is sit down on hard benches and listen to some old guy talk in some other language. I’ll let you know that that is not true and the Mennonites do dance. Sometimes.

  146. Mennonites do dance. Sometimes. We do actions to the songs. Sometimes. But yeah, mennonites usually do have the last name Klassen, Remple, Giesbrett, ect.

  147. BAAAA! Can i be a sheep? Then i will be stupid and i will do is eat grass. Then i dont have to have life problems and people getting upset at me.

  148. Cause i saw him….and maybe “God” saw what i said and there fore is going to be like “Now, Bran-la…you need to pray!”

  149. That’s just like saying “Hey God if you’re real prove it!” it doesn’t work that way. Faith. But just so you guys know, it’s not me I’ve been gone cuz I’m trying to get the dog to stop shaking she’s shaking so hard she looks like she’s going into convulsions and I don’t know why she’s so scared.

  150. TZ my dog does that too… we’re not sure why. Hopefully one of us can figure out what’s wrong with them….

  151. Like Andrea said. All dogs, and pets, are mine. I created them. I also have one up here with Me in heaven, a mixed breed, who was homeless.

  152. okay, that’s it!! whoever it is, you better give it up, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  153. How about your middle name? It doesn’t give away information. Although you might have it somewhere so you may not want that as your proof.

  154. But He was right about my middle name! And right when I saw Him write that, the song I’m listening to said “You are amazing, God”.

  155. WHATS MY FULL NAME! AND MY SISTERS! AND MY DADS! AND MY MOMS! AND, IF YOU ARE GOD, THEN MOVE THE RING THAT’S LAYING RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!

  156. Alex-wa, you’re acting like the crowd when My Son was crucified. The told Jesus that if God was really Jesus’ father, then he should free himself.

  157. But it wasn’t ment to be that way. So, God, you really are God! But I would like everyone to know the name of the book I want to write for your purposes and You have the honor of telling them.

  158. But it is God. I know it is. Emily-wa wouldn’t impersonate Him. So, God, would you like to say the title of the book I want to write?

  159. … now i feel bad. Andrea-la, I’m sorry. I’m not God. But I’m a strong believer and wanted to see how dedicated you were. No, I’m not Emily-wa. Nor am I anyone else on this blog. But i will say that I truly admire how dedicated and determined you were.
    Again, I’m sorry.

  160. C’mon, God, i knoe i hate my last name, but please, if it it you, kirie eleison, and tell me my full name, my swim team’s name, and the name of my story. please.

  161. you don’t know me. I prefer keeping my name secret on here, because I do this to many blogs and message boards. I test people, see how true to God they are.
    Many of you, however, were not.

  162. i am! Kirie eleison means lord have mercy in greek! Oh, and check comment 685 on, Andrea-la.

  163. I don’t get any of this. Why would a total stranger who is apparently not God know my middle name? Is it Jesus? Or the Holy Spiret?

  164. How could a stranger know my middle name? My middle name is in my email adress, which means that they might have that. But who has that? I mean, we need our emails to use this, so who would know?

  165. No, this blog is not under attack. It was just a random stranger pretending to be God who knew my middle name and was testing us. It doesn’t matter.

  166. And maybe it was God. But we don’t know for sure. We never will. Let’s learn from this lesson and know that God can test us through phycos who happen to know our middle names.

  167. OH WOW! I just thought of something. Maybe it is someone from Dayspringblessing.com. I get a newsletter from them and so they know my email. And therefore my middle name. But that is a long shot.

  168. Well….the only one that would see your e-mail on this site is Scott-la cuz it’s hidden and your middlename’s in that you say…but I don’t think he’d do it…would he?

  169. Andrea-la, how would they know it was you? If we have just first names on here, there’s more than one Andrea in the world. Would they know you commented here?

  170. okay, my mom wants me off the computer, guys, so i have to go. moms. bye! see you tommorow!!

  171. I said I doubt it. It’s just a mass email thing. They wouldn’t seek our me in particulare. It could have been a teacher from school though. GTG to swimming.

  172. true.
    Gosh my dog is annoying! There a guy working on our door and she WON’T STOP GROWLING AT HIM!
    She’s got issues… lol.
    I still find it funny that he God dude slipped and mention his dog…
    you’d think he’d be dead set against making a mistake.

  173. jeez! you guys did a TON of commenting! i haven’t even been gone a full 24 hours and there’s like 588 new comments. no chance am i reading all those.

    …..i’m rereading Twilight… i have no will power. i tried really hard to keep away from it at least for another month that way i would be closer to August 2nd… but no. it has too much power over me. i’m addicted.

  174. hm i say we start a whole new topic
    while I was at the mall I want a cadet hat they’re so cute but I can’t wear them at school but for summer
    I need opinions

  175. Hmmm….I have a black one with rhinestone designs on it…and I like it…I’d get it since you’ve got the whole summer and don’t have to worry about school…

  176. I am back, but only for while. And i must say…i was very frustrated while i was gone. Not once could i stop thinking about everything we talked about. I mean, i was practically going “Jeez, Bran-la, think about a normal topic for once.” But no. My mind is becoming quite obsessive over random things.

  177. Ha, Oh! Yeah my dog did that when she was a puppy. She cute but I think she might also be the devil. A many a pair of shoes is now chewed and buried in the backyard because of her. Mostly mine. And then she acts all innocent like nothing ever happened.

  178. He chews on my cell phone
    and its black but has silver scratches all over it from him
    hhe also steals shoes and my headphones

  179. Yeah…the evil balances out the cuteness. It’s horrible though! They’re so adorable that you can’t stay mad at them! And they know it too!

  180. Oh, my dog is a Beagle named Pearl(not the one I was talking about, this one’s the good one) and the evil little beasty is a basset hound named Maddie. Don’t believe it when people say that all basset hounds do is sit around all day. She runs around like she’s on a sugar high 24/7.

  181. haha we have 3 dogs
    2 min pins, lou and daisy duke
    and short hair german pointer named cricket shes old old old
    hey can you name some good bands guys Im open to most genres

  182. Ooh…I’ll just write some of the bands on my iPod…
    The All-American Rejects
    Avril Lavigne
    Barlow girl
    Coldplay
    Daughtry
    Fall Out Boy
    Finger 11
    Flyleaf
    The Fray
    Good Charlotte
    HelloGoodbye
    The Killers
    Lights
    Linkin Park
    Maroon 5
    Metro Station
    My Chemical Romance
    OneRepublic
    Panic at the Disco
    Paramore
    Plain White Ts
    Superchick
    Switchfoot
    3 Doors Down
    30 Seconds to Mars
    there’s more but I can’t remember right now, and Idk where I put my iPod, but some of them I just like a few songs, I don’t usually obsess over bands just songs.

  183. Kenzie, I personally love country music. Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift are my faves. I also love Modern Christian music but I’m not really sure of any band/singer names yet because I only recently started listening to the local christian station.

  184. good taste in music i must say
    though a few i havent heard ill have to look ’em up
    im listening to dispatch right now sang called the genaral it so good

  185. I grew up on country music so it has a place in my heart
    as for christen music I only REALLY know of one band and thats relient K i love their christmas music

  186. as for rock music, i generally like Bowling for Soup and a few others I don’t know the names of. It’s not my thing, really. I like Great Escape, prolly my fave song in it’s genre. Stacy’s Mom is pretty good, too. And the song, I think it’s called 1985. Not sure though…

  187. Is anyone concerned about what happened earlier? I couldn’t stop thinking about it all swimming practice. Or maybe it was all a dream.

  188. Hmmm…I like country as in Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood and some others…and I like alternative and rock but I don’t like the screamo stuff usually, and pop but not like pop fluff stuff *gags* pop like Sara Barielles, Colbie Caillat, Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield,Lights, and Avril Lavigne.

  189. Nope it happened. I just remembered it though when you said that cuz I was painting and I drained my mind of everything so that I was like in my own little world.

  190. I really don’t care about music at the moment. I care about whether or not God could really come onto a blog! And how that one guy got my middle name!

  191. theoreticly yes God cod come to this blog
    but of course theoreticly anything could happen
    and you may have posted you middle name somewhere on this blog a while ago and just forgot
    or maybe lucky guess

  192. I have orange paint all over me. And Andrea-la, it’s said curiosity killed the cat, so maybe it’s better just to leave it as is. Hmmm….that makes me wonder though….okay if curiosity killed the cat, and cats supposedly have nine lives, then curiosity must not give up too easily. It keeps coming back and coming back and coming back and coming back and coming back…and well you get my point though. But what I wanna know is, WHO THE HECK IS THIS CURIOSITY PERSON AND WHAT’S HE GOT AGAINST CATS???

  193. Tazz the full saying was
    curiosity killed the cat
    satisfaction brought it back
    andrea-la maybe This person was some kind of messenger of God

  194. I really don’t know, but this mystery has kept us entertained, has it not? Actually I don’t think it’s a mystery. It’s just what it is in itself.

  195. That’s what I was thinking! Maybe the end of the world is coming and this person was like John the Baptist, to prepare the way for Jesus!

  196. Look, for all we know, he/she was a scientist recorder teens reactions. Or maybe the authors of In the Chat Room With God, here for info on how people would react. But I really hope that it was something more.

  197. i’m bored. And stuck, with my story. I cant think of what else to put from where I am. I’d type my story so far on here, but even the few pages I have is too long. Ditto with my blog, and I prolly would still except my mom is going to be checking my blog sometime soon and I honestly don’t want her to be reading it…

  198. Look, am I the only person concerned that someone knew my middle name and apparently wasn’t God? God wouldn’t lie, but I can’t help but wish that it really was Him.

  199. Isn’t it a funny coincidence though that we would be wondering about something like that happening and then it happened? Either we’re like oh so totally psychic or this site’s on their hitlist!

  200. He doesn’t necesarily NEED help, but He sends Angels to deliver messages and stuff…like when Jesus rose, there were Angels there to tell Mary and the rest of them…

  201. Yes TZ, I forgot about that. Although, again, only certain ones were messengers. Like Gabriel the angel talked to Mary, Joseph, and the wise men (right? i think…)

  202. What’s really bothering me is when he said “I test people, see how true to God they are.
    Many of you, however, were not.” That evaluation scares me.

  203. kinda what i believe(to an extent) in pantheism

    An oft-cited feature of pantheism is that each individual human, being part of the Universe or nature, is part of God. One issue discussed by pantheists is how free will may exist in this framework. In answer, the following analogy is sometimes given (particularly by classical pantheists): “you are to God as an individual blood cell in your vein is to you.” The analogy further maintains that while a cell may be aware of its own environs, and even has some choices (free will) between right and wrong (killing a bacterium, becoming malignant, or perhaps just doing nothing, among countless others), it likely has little conception of the greater being of which it is a part

  204. For kicks, Andrea-la? I think God has too much work to do something for kicks.. although I don’t know. I guess he likes a little laugh every now and then. I mean, he created us πŸ˜‰

  205. Nice Emily-wa, good point. LoL. But seriously am I the only one worried about his evaluation of us? He said that most of us weren’t true to God. What does that necesarily imply?

  206. I don’t think it was actually meant as in you weren’t true to God, just that you didn’t take it so seriously I guess. Some people continued guessing while others (andrea-la..) decided to believe it. I think he meant those people who continued guess who it was.

  207. I don’t know that song. Anyway, I guess that I was kinda guessing when I decided to believe him/her when they said that they were God. I just said, Hey, God’s spoken through fire, why not the internet?

  208. I like trees. But even before “God” came here, we really have spoken lot’s of Him. He has spoken through each of us, which is really cool.

  209. omg omg omg guess wat guess wat!!! if you go to the top of this page and put your cursor over the top of the page until you get the little text cursor that looks like an I. then drag it down, highlighting it. You’ll see a little to the left, it says “the blog of scott westerfeld” I never knew it was there!!!!!!!!!

  210. Oh yes. That is one of my favorite topics in the universe. I.E. just because I get good grades doesn’t mean I’m a geek (but I kinda am). And just because I am on a swim team doesn’t mean I’m a jock (because I’m not).

  211. same here I’m kinda an outcast/nerd at my school i only have three or four(real) friends but yet im not bullied or anything maybe because im nice.my schools corrupt half of my pe class was always suspended

  212. Many people at my school think that I’m insane (okay so they aren’t far off), but the thing is, you are who you hang with. If I were to hang out with populare people, I would be poplulare. I experienced that today when I was waiting for the bus with this semi populare girl. I was welcomed into the conversation that I would otherwise be left out of.

  213. YaY! Okay ya so I’ve got some too!
    Just because I’m young doesn’t mean I’m Naive. Just because I LOVE animals doesn’t mean I’m a vegetarian. Just cuz I like to be my self doesn’t mean I’m cocky and arrogant.
    93 percent of American teens would have a severe emotional breakdown if someone called them a freak. If you’re a part of the 7 percent who would ask the person, “What was your first clue?”,add your name. ~TZ

  214. ill be heping someone or just talking to someone popular and ill be welcomed into any convo they have around me, but if i come u to one of them they just blow me off(im also pretty insane)

  215. EEEEEE. TZ, I like that? So, what was your first clue with me? Was it the Metiphorical Lemon Shoes? But you also know that I can be serious, right?

  216. 93 percent of American teens would have a severe emotional breakdown if someone called them a freak. If youÒ€ℒre a part of the 7 percent who would ask the person, Ò€œWhat was your first clue?Ò€,add your name. ~TZ, Kenzie

  217. Actually during study hall, I sat with populare people, and they included me in their conversation. Sometimes I wish I were populare, but not often. Okay, often, but that isn’t the most dominant part of me.

  218. Ya well the really loud obnoxious popular people say they have “adopted” me. And they let me hang out with them whenever I want *cough*never*cough*shoot me first*cough* but they only do it cuz they know I won’t ditch my friends for them in a million years so they just keep asking to bug the crap outta me.

  219. Or is it bad judgment? I’ve just had a little bit of a war with myself you know? I dicided to be me for now, but if I find someone better to be, I’ll become them. My friends think I might have multiple personality disorder. I don’t though. I just find it fun to be someone else, because frankly, it’s easier and sometimes funner.

  220. you should go just once
    but tell your friends to meet you there(after lets say at the mall going to all the nerdy/strange stores) and ditch them
    then they will prolly stop

  221. I try to be myself but can we ever really be ourselves in todays sociality everythings so comersalized. Thats why i like so yesterday it shows todays corrupt world, but kinda blows it out of porposion(in a good way)

  222. I remember the first few weeks of grade seven when I was populare. Good times, good times. Then I decided that it wasn’t worth it. But I regret that decision more often than not.

  223. There was a point a long time ago that I felt the same way as you guys about wanting to be popular but I realized something. You never actually know those people. They don’t even know themselves. They put on this mask in front of everybody so they could look like something they’re not and after a while they lose themselves behind that mask, and they become that mask. And by the time they realize what they’ve done and what they’ve become it’s usually too late and they end up not liking who they are and what they’ve done. And they try to hide the fact that they’re disgusted with themselves and put on more of a show when they’re broken inside, shattered behind that mask. I choose not to put that mask on to begin with, If people don’t like who I am, it’s their problem cuz I’m me and that’s all I’ve got to say.

  224. dont you like your friends i if i really wanted to, could be popular just because im nice to everyone and used to be friends with popular kids, but im happy with my friends so i dont bother because its easier being myself

  225. THE ATTACK OF THE MASKS! Did you copy that out of my diary or something TZ? That is what I think. I have a mask though. The mask eats the real person, so I’m haveing to wear my mask. My mask is homemade though. I didn’t want to buy one like everyone else from the Devil’s mask store.

  226. Really, I have stopped caring. My mask sucks and there is nothing inside. But I read this one bible verse that said something about how we can only truley be us if God is in us. God is in my, but I still am not me. I don’t know what I did wrong.

  227. Look, if I don’t know who I am yet, we have an issue. I used to be so sure of myself, but now I’m not. I’ve stopped caring about who I am. I act on my first reaction, which usually is to something really phyco, and I basically hate myself for getting into this mess.

  228. *says in really creepy mellow voice* Look deeper. Grab freaking binoculars amd look inside YOU. Have your friends help you out. Use the Bible:The perpetual Squegee of life, and wipe away the mess.

  229. Also, if I can question myself, who’s thoughts I can hear, why shouldn’t I question my friends? How do I know whether or not they are putting on the sad show as I am? I tried to be myself and it didn’t work out! Everyone thought that I was depressed and they got all depressed and I don’t want to depress my friends!

  230. Ok pause convo
    i love this blog<3 but it takes forever talk on do you guys have aims or IMs of anykind unpause
    you have to look deep seach far and wide

  231. The mask can change you. Eat you. Destroy the You inside you. It tears at you until all that’s left behind that pretty lil mask is a shriveled up fraction of what used to be. But with help, you can heal. And Grow. Grow to more than you were in the first place. A very dumb person once said,”What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” I’m gonna change that quote to “What doesn’t exstinguish the fire of your soul, will only help it grow and be the best that it can be till you engulf the storm of controversy and defeat the weaker weak.”

  232. i can’t keep up with you guys. πŸ™
    i use to be able to. i’m too busy…
    and i’m missing all the convos. πŸ™

    ugh. so many mosquito bites. itcy. itcy. itcy.
    lost our game. πŸ™ 3 to 5. it sucked.
    and the ump called like crap.
    ..but i probably shouldn’t be saying that…
    cuz he’s a family friend.
    but still…
    rawr.

  233. oh. my. goodness. scientists somewhere out west are creating an ‘oil bug’. does this raise any alarm for those of us who have read uglies and know what happened to the rusties? *hint, didnt’ the ‘oil bug’ destroy us all???

  234. How the heck did this board on the blog get so big! I mean in the 900! You guys trying to make it to 1,000 or something?

  235. hello everyone! I am in louisana or however the heck you spell it.were just driveing.we have been for about … 7 hours now. Very fun you have no Idea. Don’t miss me too much! πŸ˜‰ ttyl

    Btw, I miss you guys too!

  236. Excellent coaster visuals! Was signing on to MySpace and was distracted by the “Big Mac Chant-Off” which reminded me of the video streams in Extras. It’s interesting when reality begins to reflect a futuristic idea, if only slightly.

  237. That whole bug thing does sound cool but is kinda dangurous
    Also Bran-la I miss you hope to see you on soon.
    Other than that I’m pretty bored.

  238. what do u mean it’s 13×17???
    they made the bug out of e-coli, that doesn’t sound dangerous at all! *she said sarcasticly

  239. oh! wow that’s awesome, :] i feel special now! thanks! lol, they say the bug will be kept contained and destroyed when their done using it, but….

  240. Here is my reasoning. I finished my social exam half an hour early, so I got home half an hour early, so I have half an hour til I have to study.

  241. i’m homeschooled, so i don’t have exams nya nya!!!!
    but i will next year…gulp.
    we did have to take like assesment tests, but w/e they were easy.

  242. I think that I could get above 95 without studying for math, but if we finish the review, we get 5% bonus mark, and if we already have 100% it gets added onto our term three mark which for me is kinda low (aka 90%)

  243. i got all A’s last year, first honors!!
    wooohooo!!
    cuz yes, i was in regular school last year

  244. seeing as u guys r completely ignoring me, i will leave now…
    πŸ˜₯ πŸ˜₯ πŸ˜₯
    sniff sniff sob sob
    and now i will sit in the same corner as before, wallowing in self pity, with the spiders and mice and w/e

  245. Ya but I despised my math teacher this year, so I got a D, my lowest grade(others only being a B) yet I’m smart enough to get into the ‘gifted’ math class where you have to take a test toget in.Theres just soething wrong with that.

  246. Well the messenger(as I will call him/her now) was here to see and obseve our beliefs. The only creepy part is that they knew your middle name….

  247. Idk it has to be for something lets hope they come on again because I hav a few questions and they just left us hangin’.

  248. dude, that whole “God” thing was kinda creepy. if it is some random person, i don’t think they should do that to anyone. I believe in God and am a Christian, and doing that is totally disrespectful to Him.

  249. one I would ask ‘him/her to change their name since they are not God, I recmend The Messenger.
    two Why are most of us not true to God
    three Why did you come here
    four how did you know Andrea-la’s middle name because no offence, but it was slightly creepy

  250. My middle name may have been a guess. They probably called themself God to get respect/attention, if they really are a messenger, then that explains why, and for the why are most of us not true to God, I’m curious about that answer myself.

  251. I also thought of how did this person find us
    was it because we were talking about God before and they somehow found out.

  252. well, the bible does say that in the last days many would come pretending to be Him. I personally believe we are in the last days, so this could just be more proof towards that.

  253. These really could be the last days I guess. I wont take any chances with not studying for exams though. It was so ironic how they came when we were talking about God.

  254. it was disrespectful and creepy.
    andrea-la, maybe they already know you. it could be a teacher of yours or something. doctor, psychologist (cuz knowing us, many of us probly have them) something like that. maybe.
    it was creepy and disrespectful, and i’m sorta annoyed with that impersonator (cuz they admitted that they weren’t really God, cuz i wouldn’t say that i was annoyed if it really were God, just verifying cuz i’m a strong Christian).
    i have no idea how they found us. maybe someone was playing a prank on us. it’s annoying, and i say we change the subject. that’s just me tho

  255. But what if these really are the last days? And why are we bothering thinking about all this? I don’t know why, but I for one can’t get all this out of my head.

  256. well it is a scarey thing to think of…maybe God did work through this person, but not in the way they intended. Maybe it’s a wake up call, like, saying we need to tell our friends about God and His free gift to the world. okay, i’m done with the strange topic for now.
    some of u are still in school?!?!

  257. I really can’t stop thinking about this all. What if these are the last days? What if that person was really a messenger from God? What if this is the start of a lifechanging experience?

  258. it could be the last days, the Final Judgment, etc. it could come at any time.
    actually, it’s sorta a good thing we won’t know, cuz that’d be totally scary.
    but also, i mean, it doesn’t have to be the last days when someone comes impersonating God.
    also, time in heaven might be measured differently than down here. therefore, like a day in heaven could be like a hundred years down here. just a thought. cuz i mean, if everyone who is in heaven is gonna be there for the rest of eternity (which is a loooooooooooooong time) then…i’ve always wondered what you do in heaven. i guess i’ll just have to die to see
    but in due time, due time
    don’t start freaking out thinking i’ll commit suicide or anything. but you have to die and deserve it to go to heaven…
    actually, i take back that statement. no one can go to heaven w/o the help of Jesus. at least that’s what my beliefs are. so, if it is the last days, you should really start doing kindnesses and stuff. not fake ones either.
    either way, it’s always good to be prepared to die or for the last days in case they sneak up on you…just my word of advice for the day.

  259. That is so ironic. Remember, I said that I was falling asleep, and then the mysterious visiter came and told me to wake up and I woke up? This is all so ironic. And what if the waking up is what they were aiming for? We totally need to go spread the Bible!

  260. Andrea-la, i understand your concern, just pray about it and pray for peace in your heat. God knows us, (the real God, not the other one) and he knows what we need. it’ll be okay

    good, it’s unfair for kids to be in school much later than now!

  261. Let it change your life then but just dont stray from your path if these are the last days live life to a goal of being happy. Maybe thats all the messenger wanted

  262. Look, I can’t just drop this topic! I really don’t fear death in any way because I am sure that I will go to heaven. Of course, meeting God in Heaven will be like going to the principal’s office expecting to be expelled, but God is so merciful that He has already decided not to expell us. If that made any sense.

  263. i completely agree, abby-wa.
    just as a wrapping up: don’t go and spend all ur money cuz u think it’s the last days or anything. behave well, do ur chores, and pray.

    I’M ON SUMMER VACATION!! sry, just had to get that outta my system.
    i got out on…friday. cuz technically, we were supposed to get out on monday, but cuz i’m homeschooled…was homeschooled…you get what i mean….mom got to decide when we got out and she said it was pointless to end on a monday. so, we got out three days early, counting weekends. i think. i’m on vacation mode, so don’t expect my math to be accurate.
    VACATIOn!!!!
    u poor souls still in school. u have my pity…
    VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    woohoo!!! :mrgreen:

  264. I`ve been praying like crazy about it, and I just can`t drop it. I want my life to be changed by this, but it isn`t happening. I really wish that I had more time to think, but I really am stressed for exam, swimming, ect.

  265. don’t get too cocky, andrea-la. work hard, and then you’ll be more likely to get into heaven.
    but ever heard of Purgatory?
    i have a prayer that each time it’s said, it releases 1000 sould from Purgatory. worthwhile huh? if u want i can write it down.
    but ask me first. cuz there’re different branches of the Christian Church, and i’m Catholic, so i don’t wanna offend anyone.

  266. Um, isn`t the chances of getting into Heaven the same for everyone who believes that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Also, I`m not Catholic, I`m Mennonite!

  267. well, this isn’t necessarily God’s doing. i mean, it could just be a phony.
    i’m not saying that it isn’t a message, but don’t count on it.
    i found that if you look for things, they rarely come (unless it’s inevitable, like waiting for a specific time or w/e but u get what i mean).

    U POOR PEEPS IN SCHOOL!!!
    dyk that all schools have to stop school by the 4th of july? like if u had like a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllly big blizzard and had like 3 weeks of snowdays or however many schooldays to make the 180days go past the 4th of july then you stop at july 4th no matter what????? my band teacher told me that

    but it should be a crime to keep kids in school after june 10 or something. i mean, adults always encourage fresh air, right???? huh???? huh????
    sigh. adults can be so thick-headed sometimes.
    not my parents, but….

  268. well, actions speak louder than words. you need to lead a good life, or like, make a conversion if you didn’t at first.
    good book about conversion: arms of love by carmen marcoux and the sequel surrender. SOOOOOOOOOOO good. like it’s about this really big jerk who…well i don’t wanna spoil it. but you should read it. very good.

    so, it’s definitely a plus to believe in Jesus dying on the cross to save us, and all of that stuff, but it’s also important to live your faith.

  269. It`s exam week this week. Also, my keyboard is on french mode, how do I fix thatÉ(see, that É was supposed to be a question mark)

  270. UHHHHHHHH! So mad at my keyboard!!!!!!!!! ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ(yeah, those really should be question marks)

  271. wow, there’s OVER A THOUSAND COMMENTS. the number of comments really goes up in the summer, eh?
    sadly i’ve decided to do (semi-) productive things this summer. i guess i’ve outgrown my obsessive refresher phase. *shrug*

  272. scott-sama really needs to post. it’s up to at least 1044, and maybe more than that if someone posts before i post this…
    sigh. i tried so sign up for AIM, but it doesn’t like me.
    sigh. sigh. πŸ˜₯ πŸ˜₯ πŸ˜₯ πŸ˜₯
    oh well, cuz i’m ON VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!
    :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
    life is GOOD!

  273. Til tomorow. Then I’m out. YAY! *music* herb, the verb is a man of action, he’s busy all the day through. He runs he walks, he whistles and talks he is busy all the day through! *end music*
    yay!

  274. Well if you really truly loved them….. I don’t know. I have never really been in LOVE with somebody. You could always have the people in Italy kill you. What ever they are called? Don’t know how to spell it!!!

  275. I’ve never been in love with anyone either. Not even a crush! So, I could never comprehend it. But really, I am partially looking forward to death, so…

  276. You mean everyone the same? That wouldn’t be that diferent. But possibly more depressing. But I think that vending michines have a way of brainwashing people…The future seems to be depressing.

  277. Whatever. Depressing can be good. It’s emotion and emotion is what makes life interesting. And depressing. Yes, sameness is depressing. Yes, now I too am depressed.

  278. OhhhhhhMyGosh!

    Haven’t been on here in fricking aaaaaaaaages.

    That RollerCoaster is so Bubbly! With less trees is would be the perfect setting for Uglies πŸ™‚

    God, i’ve missed the series. I’ve been minorly Twilight obssessed atm.

    Seriously, if you haven’t read the series, do. That and Uglies and are the best series ever written.

    OH. Along with midnighters πŸ™‚

    Zane-la <3

  279. Hi
    Ive had to get used to the rain
    because it will rain everyday for about all of winter and spring here
    but i love it espiecialy thunderstorms

  280. Shizz.

    Must go, its like 10:15pm here in England πŸ˜›

    Sleep Well [well, depending on where you are :P]

    xx

  281. im listening to Heaven help us by MyChemical Romance my ALL time fav band. they rox. ur sox. off. yep they do. lol. none of my friends r home well alex is but she can neva eva do anything cuz her parents r neva home and my friend chenoa is WAY WAY to busy wit swimming and sports and stuff and my other friend kaylee is going away to her grandmothers house for DAYS and thats about it. i hav wayyy more friends then that but they live to far away. eathier that or i just dont know their phone numbers or email or i just dont care about them. i could always hang out wit my 5th grade teachers son scott but after wat happened last summer no. (dont ask wat happened i dont like to talk about it). but i could always hang out her other son rj but no.

  282. and ok so like lots of people think being emo is like bad and stuff i mean of everyone here do u think being emo is stupid and bad and stuff!? i mean im not emo but my sis is and i love her and my friends r a lil scared of her..is it bad that mabey someone is emo!? and i so hav to say this MCR IS NOT EMO! ok lol the only reason i said that is cuz everyone thinks they r emo and they not emo!!! its annoying me!!! so ya.

  283. It depends on your definition of emo. If someone says they’re emo, they’re not. It’s a state of mind, you can’t just wake up one day and decide since everybody else is, then you want to be emo. And emo isn’t cool, it means that person’s had mega problems in their life and are struggling with who they are. MCR isn’t my one of my favorite bands but I like Welcome To the Black Parade, but the music video’s creepy.

  284. emo has kind of turned into more of a fashion trend and a social clique than what it originally was defined to be.

    They wear punk-y clothes, haha, and yes i am aware of how un-punk it is to say un-punk and punk-y. haha

  285. Everyone thought one of my friends was emo cause she dyed her hair black with purple in it and started wearing more black & white.
    then she dyed her hair pink.
    then all purple.
    then people thought she was just weird…for lack of an actual label.
    *sigh* labels are so inaccurate most of the time…

  286. I l-o-v-e MCR I hate when they are called emo
    They are most definitly arnt
    yes their music is about death but it doesnt mean suicide, its about living but not being afraid of death
    or that show I interpete it

  287. LOL! My dad just got mad at me for listening to “grown up” music. I think that he wants me to be normal and listen to “teenager” music. Yeah, right! I prefer jazz to pop! What’s so wrong with that?

  288. Somebody can tell me in a really mean way to go study for math and not come on until the exam is over. Please, just say it and get me off.

  289. Trends is music? I don’t know. My favorite song is Colonet Bogey. I’m so sad that I had to give back my sheet music to that. I hope we get to do it at band camp (yes, I am going to band camp). Last year (yes, there was a last year at band camp) we got to do Pirates of the Carribian. Fun!

  290. Andrea. We all hate you and if you don’t leave now you are going to fail. The worst that can happen is that you fail, drop out of high school, can’t find a job and you have to go work at Tim Hortans for the rest of your life while living in the basment with not enough money to buy paper to keep a journal or write books and never be able to fulfil your dream of writing one. You would eventually die of starvation because you would never want to eat anything again after working at a fast food resterant. Then you would starve, but not die, and be stuck on earth as some idiot anorexic, then a modeling indusrtry would think that you would be perfect because you weigh nothing and you go off to a horrible life of nothingness. All because you didn’t study right now. Okay, that made no sense.

  291. Do I honestly look like I care what brand of tea bags Jimmy buys? How does he know what ones are better? The math text book does not take this into acount.

  292. i know!!! that is one of the things that annoy me, these people wrote the stupid text book, they should know the answers!
    lol
    well, andrea-la, i want u to know i am praying for you, for you to have peace and for God to direct your life

  293. don’t get frustrated andrea-la, if you do, leave it, cause after that point you aren’t learning anymore. Take a break and come back to it, or accept that you are as prepared as your going to be. You’ll do fine!

  294. R E L A X! seriously. getting worked up over it isn’t going to help anything!
    of course knowing how big a zebra is will help u in life! duh!
    jkjk ;]

  295. Y E A H R I I I G H T. I’m only going to get 75% and wont get to take precalculous which you need to get into univercity. But, you know what’s comforting? Even if I don’t take the exam at all, I will still “pass” the course. If you concider 65% a pass.

  296. BREATHE, ANDREA-LA!!
    breathe in, breathe out. slowly…sloooowly….
    okay.
    don’t stress too much, or you won’t be able to concentrate. take a few moments and calm down before you look at that mathbook again. think about metaphorical lemon shoes!

  297. AND WHY A ZEBRA? IF YOU NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT ZEBRAS IT’S ARE THEY WHITE WITH BLACK STRIPES OR BLACK WITH WHITE STRIPES? OH COURSE, I ALREADY KNOW THAT IT’S BLACK WITH WHITE STRIPES, BUT STILL. MOST PEOPLE DON’T!

  298. BUT DO THEY ASK US HOW BIG A METIPHORICAL LEMON SHOE IS? NO, THEY ASK US HOW BIG A ZEBRA IS! METIPHORICAL LEMON SHOES ARE WAY BETTER THAN ZEBRAS!

  299. pre-calculus is 12 characters tho, if u count the hyphen. ;]
    sry, some dry humor,
    positivity helps! let’s all chant..’Go Andrea-la! Go Andrea-la!…why is no one chanting1…Go…well, u get the idea’

  300. Oh…I was in Algebra…which is retarded cuz in ninth grade I have to take the same class again. Not cuz I bombed it or anything, that’s just how it is. Which is STUPID for crying out loud! Sheesh! Anywho…

  301. MATH IS FUN! I even got to participate in the math contest for people who are really good at math! But I need to do well in math, because my gym mark is so low (aka 82%)

  302. I need to go look up the answers in the back of the text book. Not as cheating, as double checking. *starts saying continually, it’s impossible to fail math, it’s impossible to fail math, it’s impossible to fail math…*

  303. I despise math with every fiber of my being. It’s what caused me to not get a 4.0, I had a freaking 89.8 freaking percent. Off by .2 percent! That’s it!

  304. woo! it’s catching on!
    Go Andrea-la! Math is a pice of (insert favorite cake here)!!! you are going to fine! *Abby whipps out her nerdy band uniforma and clarinet and joins T&Z

  305. I’m pressuring myself. My parents are all, “You’ll do great, don’t bother over-studying” 9:00am tomorow morning. 12 hours til I will be in the exam room. 12 hours is equivilent to 720 minutes, which is about43200seconds. OH NO!

  306. i’ll pray for you. God bless! (if all else fails just picture math in it’s underpants!) (sry, bad humor) got to go to bed now. good luck! you’ll ace it!

  307. Thanks. Goodnight! I’m thinking I’m up against an all nighter. I wonder what math would look like in it’s underpants…hmmmm. I’ll draw it on my exam, make the teacher think I’m crazy and shouldn’t have to take exams…………

  308. Wow Andrea-la.
    You know that when people pull late-nighters to remember things, they can’t grasp it the next morning? You need sleep more than you need to study, I’m sure.
    I was just in Algebra this year. It was pretty confusing, and I hadn’t actually passed the test to get into Geometry. however my teacher is fawesome and knew I’d do good because they only questions on the test I missed were factoring, which if I study it a little more next year I’ll be okey-dokey. Do yea, any questions?!

  309. Look, I am a genius at math. One of the best in my class. I’m staying up all night to do the review to get the 5% bonus that I don’t need.

  310. Hey, anyone know where Southwind, FL is? Near the beach, upper, lower, middle, etc? That’s where my camp is located. I cant believe I’ll be gone for an entire week. And no computer, so please don’t go overboard on the postage?!

  311. My latest finished book is called “Comedy Girl.” it was pretty good. It was mid-200 pages. And I finished it all in one day… yeah I’ve read over 1000 pages in like 3 days. I can get a free book (to keep obviously) from the library that they let me choose from for turning in a little card that says my info and some crossed-out book things that i cross out for every 100 pages i read. there are nine of them, so obviously i get a head start on my next one πŸ˜‰
    If I don’t win the MP3 player from the raffle for every card turned in after, I shall be mad and the raffle WILL be rigged…

  312. I know! I totally agree Andrea-la! I mean, who the heck cares about helping Kelly with this? Cant she use a calculator herself, or ask some dude who’s JOB it is to answer these kinds of questions?!

  313. Really, i mean it’s not like she NEEDS to know how far it is. She can take a train or plane there. And it’s not like if she doesn’t know it, someone can scam her or anything… because what could some random dude get out of telling her that it’s like 100KM away?
    Also I find it funny that the US is supposed to be using feet and inches and yards, yet American textbooks use KM, MM, etc.

  314. well technically people going there who have cars or are driving some sort of transportation to that place would because they’d want to know stuff like gas and money and time… but we cant drive or operate cars or planes so we don’t.

  315. lol. I’ve never been anywhere even close to canada. Closest i’ve been is Chicago, Illinois. my bro and dad and uncles and cousins went to like somewhere closer to go fishing, but other than that i dont think anybody has been.

  316. aww i gtg. Post any more things you wanna say to me on your next email or whatever so i dont miss it- i wouldn’t be suprised if i couldn’t see anything geared towards me tomorrow, considering you guys post like your life depends on it…
    ttyl, LYLAS πŸ™‚
    ask me about LYLAS if you don’t know laters.

  317. we have a coke factory in washingotn
    we play ‘slotmachines” there for a quarter you can get a coke, but theres a button to get a mystery pop, soits either good or bad

  318. YAY! I finished my review before 1am! So I got a whole 6 hours of sleep! Too bad today I have an end of exam all night sleepover. An hour and a half til math exam. Three and a half hours til exams are over!

  319. I at breckfast and now I feel like I’m going to barf from lack of sleep. But I just have to stay awake for 3 and a half more hours, then I think I can bike home in my sleep. I mean, I can read on my bike. I will have to take a nap before tonight’s sleepover.

  320. Oh wow, I just look in the mirror. The dark bags under my eyes with my natually kinda pale skin makes me look like a vampire! Also, I have unually large vampire teeth…oh wow, I look like a vampire. Who care? I need to write a math exam today. When I need a laugh in the middle of the exam, I’ll pictutur my teacher having to stay after school til he’s finished marking them. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

  321. no way m i reading all those comments…
    sigh. u peeps have such fast fingers…it gets annoying uknow

  322. hey, andrea-la: u had comment number 1203, and it says that in australian time or something u posted at 12:03!!! teehee
    i just notice those little details cuz i’m so cool…
    :mrgreen:

  323. what about math in its underpants?!?!
    i dispised math tests in algebra last year, when i got frustrated i would use scrap paper and draw cartoons of destroying math, i even drew a rocket and strapped my math book to it.
    MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

  324. don’t worry UMR-wa, nothing too incredibly important happened, just math…ew…this isn’t school so lets not talk about it anymore!

  325. Good morning/afternoon (good goshness i spelled afternoon like afternewn at first!) it’s like 11:30 here so it’a almost noon…
    Bella & Edward together forever, you’re on SCOTT WESTERFELD’S blog, not Stephanie Meyers. Please tell me you’ve read at least one of Scott-la’s MetaphoricalDrPeppertastical books!!!

  326. Yeah, I read the whole uglies series and the midmighters trilogy too. They used to be my favorite books and everwhere I was Tally and David, but the I read the Twilight Saga so I changed all my name to have something to do with Twilight, but anyway, don’t get me wrong, I still really like Scott’s books.

  327. They say that he needs a script but they already bought rights and i’m saying they could make it there

  328. so, what were you saying about an uglies movie? is there really going to be one?

  329. does anyone remember what day the bogus to bubbly book comes out because I forgot.

  330. I run with vampires (I STILL don’t understand why you people would use a name that has to do with different books/different author!!) read the post about it. lol

  331. oh, sorry I guess I didn’t notice the post before, thanks. now I can’t wait for October 21st! But what’s so bad about the name I run with vampires?

  332. least you caught yourself Emily-wa. And you might want to read Peeps, it’s pretty good.

  333. I wanted to, but the library doesn’t have it. They only had The Last Days, and I’m not the kind of person who reads books out of order.

  334. Well that’s good. You couldn’t have done worse than me… I was freaking out when I couldn’t answer the factoring questions… I had to leave a few blank because I had no clue. Mine was probably shorter than yours, because mine was on page front and back.
    Peeps is one book on my never ending list of books to read…

  335. cool. My math teacher’s wife made up a song to remember the…factoring?…equation. It’s to the tune of “Pop Goes the Weasel”

    x equals negative B
    plue or minus the square root
    of B squared minus four A C
    All over two A

  336. i’m hungry. but i just had lunch. And i want something sweet… RAWR.
    i’m going to a pool party tonight! That is, if it doens’t rain…

  337. WHOAH! We are linked at the brain. I’m going to a pool party tonight! And it might rain here too! I’m eating lunch right now. I was just thinking of getting icecream from the freezer.

  338. I’m here! Dude! I’m not very happy right now. There was a freaking brown recluse spider in my bedroom and I freaked out and went to get my Dad to kill it(Andrea-la don’t get mad at me, those things are hecka poisonous, you could die from them! So It was either me or the spider. I chose the spider.) but when he went in there, it was gone. Like poof! Freaking spider tried to make me look like an idiot! But no! I got a picture of it with my phone before I got my Dad, so he believed me! But it’s still hiding somewhere in my room, so I slept on the couch.

  339. TZ, the same thing happened to me when I was living in Indoniesia! A spider was in my room. I thought it was cool and all, but I didn’t really want to touch it, so I got my dad to try to get it out of my room, and it was gone through the window! And by the way, GO SPIDER! Fight for your right to be on someone elses cieling!

  340. Dude Andrea-la it was in my bed! Do you know what happens when you get bit by one of those? It starts out like a normal spider bite and then your flesh rots off around it. I’d like to keep my flesh thankyou very much.

  341. I’ve never actually seen one. Good thing that you got out of there. But still, just because it COULD kill you doesn’t mean that it WILL. Just like how I COULD kill the canker worm in my hair but instead I’m NOT and letting it live out it’s happy wormy life in the great outdoors. Also, keeping your flesh is good.

  342. Any other spider I’d be okay with…except maybe a black widow, but I’d take it outside with like a cup and a napkin or something but I’m not messing with a brown recluse. No way.

  343. Yea. That spider may have a life and all, but if it’s endangering someone, even if they’re taking it out, it should probably be killed. Just say sorry to the spider beforehand πŸ˜‰
    OMG My sis is watching hannah montana downstairs and she’s being like attacked by a SPIDER!!!
    ROFL!!!!!!

  344. If you haven’t seen one, google a picture of it. Then look at a picture of what it’s bite does. It’s not so pretty. The spider itself isn’t as scary as some, but looks can be decieving.

  345. yea I saw.
    Hey, maybe the spider’s wife and him had a fight, and he got kicked out of the web and needed a place to sleep πŸ˜‰

  346. Just did google it. To me it looks kinda cool. And cute. The bite looks bad. But it said that it was rarely fatal, and if fatal usually in kid 7 or under.

  347. TZ are you serious? There’s a poisonous spider in your house. You have a CAT, which hunts BUGS. Don’t you find this a BAD THING?!
    And you’ve got two dogs that could get bitten too!
    I doubt the hampster, but hey who knows?

  348. I have a cat, a dog, and my sister has a hampster named Annie. She’s a booger and she chews on her metal cage all night. She escaped twice- first time was on a Sunday morning before church, and she got into out enormous bonus room. My CAT was sitting under the play table, staring at the doll bed. I lifted the bed and Annie was there.
    Second time was that night, my sister woke me at 3 in the morning to tell me Annie was somewhere in her room. We spent like half an hour looking for her.

  349. Nah, my cat lives in the garage(DON’T WORRY, it’s air conditioned in the summer and in the winter there’s a heater.)cuz she doesn’t like it in the house, and my dogs won’t do anything about it, they’re too lazy…although my hamster is half spider like I said, so it might call out to it’s brethern.

  350. aww…
    hit and run hampster!!!
    haha, you know how i told you about the “blog by scott westerfeld” thing at the top of the page, only visible if you highlight it?
    Well above it, it says Westerblog πŸ™‚

  351. spider hampster, spider hampster, does whatever a spider hampster does… lol i’ve never enev seen that movie.
    and don’t plan on it. Simpsons is stupid…

  352. Why do you trust me though? For all you know, I could be your worst enimy trying to get info out of you that I could use against you!

  353. 1 thing that I could use for blackmail? Your email. I could give it out to random people. I’m sure that after a while I could get more info than that, but these days having someone’s email is having their life in your pocket.

  354. AH! case of mistaken identity! okay, name change from abby-wa to Abigail-wa, sorry to the other abby-wa.
    I love the twilight books, but I love scott-sama’s more.
    yay for Andrea-la and her math test! told u!
    did u visualize math in its underwear??

  355. Hmmm….I never use my pet as my password. My password is totally random that nobody will ever in a million years would figure it out. Except I don’t have an e mail so it’s the password for everything else…

  356. ah, nice thinking Andrea-la.
    When did I tell you pet names, and what ARE they?
    btw my pet names/name isn’t my password. My mom thinks that it’s too suspectible…

  357. lol, probably a good thing you forgot. :]
    I have a dog!
    (sry, not trying to intrude rudely)
    he’s an idiot (my dog)

  358. I didn’t mean to scare her! Well, maybe enough so that she would be a bit more careful with her email adress. BTW, her email password isn’t either of her pets. At least, non of the ones she told me of. And I don’t plan to blackmail anyone.

  359. great u guys got on after i got off…wonderful. o well. i’m too lazy to read all those comments, so if i seem oblivious don’t laugh k?

  360. Wow, Andrea-la!
    lol it’s ‘k
    i uesd to have neopets. I got bored with it, too.
    I used to have thing thing called a Miss Bimbo. It’s french. I gto bored with it, too.

  361. my computer’s really slow lately….it’s annoying but, ohwell.
    i tried to get an IM user thing but it doesn’t like me. sigh. sigh. sigh. sigh. i’ll just haveta wait.
    could someone just fill me in on what’s being talked about plz??? that’s be cool

  362. i try to hack into my mom’s computer though, she has a laptop, and if i can get into it I can work on my stories downstairs instead of lonely upstairs.

  363. i think i used to have a neopets, like waaaaaaaay back when. i don’t reallly remember tho…..
    and we all have a dark side, andrea-la. but trust me, you don’t wanna see mine!

  364. Oh, and I know this random guys phone number/adress, but he doesn’t know that. I also happen to know that he took his chemestry exam on wenesday.

  365. oooh, UMR-wa has a dark side too,
    well, human nature i guess, so long as nobody is a serial murderer…
    I’m not, i swear on my life.

  366. Just finished blue noon and Dessometrics has 12 letters and easesdropping has 13 letters just to say

  367. Creepy Andrea-la, very creepy. But I know this guy that used to be in my math class’ cell number and I text him a lot to annoy him and he doesn’t know it’s me but that’s okay cuz we used to hang out with him a lot…

  368. andrea-la: either u srsly r a stalker, or u just have waaaaaaaaaay too much time on your hands.
    abigial-wa, r u sure ur not a cereal murderer? so, u’ve never eaten cereal?

    i know! i know!! that was probably the worst attempt at wit ever, but hey! what can i say?

  369. aw…i once squished an aunt becasue i lost this competition, and all it’s guts flew out it’s butt.
    hey Abby-wa! sry i stole ur name for a bit. :]

  370. ROFL!!!
    yea, I could blackmail a person who I used to be best friends with… then she took a turn for the worst and ignored me, only talking to me to cuss and put me down. I know who she likes though… :mrgreen:
    we were friend since like 2nd grade, and it ended in 5th. My mom and I think she must have something against me because she was kinda overweight and i’m like supermodel skinny (idk why, I can eat all I want and i stay skinny… for now lol) and she made a friend her size that would put me down for random stuff that i actually cared about, so she started too. So yea, I could blackmail her if I wanted O_o

  371. There are a LOT of people who I could blackmail. Such as my choir teacher. But I wont. I do have too much time on my hands…or is the time on my feet………….

  372. um…Abby-wa and Abigail-wa are two different people,
    either that or i’m much more talented than i realized.

  373. and abigial-wa: did u squish ur aunt??? the poor woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  374. lol, UMR-wa, i am a notorious fruity pepples killer, probably my fave cereal,
    as for people and anthing bigger than a spider, i haven’t killed anything.

  375. Cool talentnessical! The question is how do I blackmail my grade six choir teacher. I mean, I know her first and last name, the name of her husband, the school she teaches at, and her email.

  376. lol, i ask you kindly shut up UMR-wa, lol, emily-wa, an ant. it was funny, and no, i don’t squish people, ‘cept my brother, who is now going to get on the computer…grr…..b back later!

  377. I’d really like to squish my brother. Also, I know all the names of my Bible teacher and I know that my bible teacher and my social teacher are very very very distantly related because of marriage. And they don’t even know it!

  378. I ment the names of my bible teacher’s kids. And I know the names of the social teachers kids. Oh, and my math/science teachers kids. And my english teacher’s kids. Hmmmmmmmm. I didn’t know that I knew this much!

  379. I’m back…*pokes head in metaphorical door* Ha, I done stole the metaphorical key! *twists evil nonexistant mustache* This heres a metaphorical hold up! (Aw, crap I gotta stop watching old westerns with my Dad…)

  380. it’s a small world after all… next thing I’ll find out that your my canadian friend’s cousin lol
    but she’s french canadian

  381. ok i give up on reading all the comments
    i wasnt able to get on earlier I had to clean up from my sisters party last night(nothing big, funny though)
    I only got 5 hours of sleep fell asleep at 2am woke up at 7am
    Im running on adrenaline, sugar, and my want for caffine…mm coffee sounds really good right now
    ANY-WAY
    Then this morning I watched HELLBOY even though its not even noon yet
    And my dog is in mothering mode so she has little stuffed teddys and whenever our puppy goes near ’em she freaks
    (oh on the whole spider thing, I was bit once by who knows what kind when i was sleeping so I slept on the couch for a week plus I still have two tiny scars on the inside of my elbow)

  382. haha the puppy has her baby now
    shes chasing him around the room
    too bad shes kinda(ok really) fat so she cant run nearly as fast as him

  383. Oh my Gosh…I just found out that my old neighbor is on life support, he was in an accident riding on his skateboard and hit his head…they say it’s not looking good.

  384. Hey my aunt did that once Andrea-la
    we one day found out one of my cousins best friends is actualy our 2nd cousin
    We have a BIG family

  385. Thats not cool TZ
    It makes me worry about my cousin(and my seragit cousins[long story] they skatboard all the time
    I wish him and you the best

  386. Ya I know what you mean
    one of ym dads friends broke his back and even though I didnt know him super well I was still scared
    hes ok now its actually funny my dad calls him broke-back Jim. Lol ok its kinda bad

  387. bye ttfn see ya later alligater

    hey do you gals(as Im sure you all are) drink coffee or am I alone I want a suggestion of what to get at starbucks(since I live in washington theres one on every corner) cuz I need my caffene fix

  388. no, i don’t drink coffee, ‘cept with TONS of french vanilla creamer and sugar. sry!
    aw, i cried durring my concert this year because it was my last one with my band teacher.
    stupid moving up to high school!

  389. I don’t drink coffee. My friends are trying to make it illegal for me to have coffee, because they are so sure that if I did the world would blow up. Every time that I say I had anything with caffine, they ask me who paid to fix the roof.

  390. i don’t like coffee. I haven’t really tried it, but the smell and all isnt’ very appetizing to me. I dont’ see why all my friends are seriously OBSESSED with starbucks. Maybe they think drinking coffee makess them “grown-up?” Idk. Apparently their hot chocolate is good, but it’s got a pretty hefty price tag for something i can make at home, and the box of Swiss Miss is like the same price as a cup of hot chocolate at starbucks… lol.

  391. Oh wow, Andrea-la that’s hilarious! Caffeine has no effect on me. I’m just naturally hyper. Except for Monsters, those deeeeffffiiiinnnniiiitttteeelllyyy effect me.

  392. I’m naturally so hyper that if I were to ever have caffine in the form of coffee, you really wouldn’t want to be standing nearby. Like that one time at the jazz festival with my school when I had coffee(only half a sip) and I was jumping up and down uncontrolably.

  393. I like coffee because Im from Washington, EVERYONE from washington loves coffee. I usually get a white mocha with english toffee, its good I wont lie. But in the summer I like their passionfruit ice tea lemonade stuff, my sister got me onto it(at the end of summer and when its winter I need something hot.)

  394. Ya…Monster energy drinks do that to me. My friends don’t let me have them anymore…*pouts* what’s weird is, that I don’t even think they taste all that good, it’s got a funny taste, but it’s addicting!

  395. When I was going to school on day I had a 20oz of coffee(bad idea before school) and had jitters all day like shaking badly I couldnt focus and I think I might have had a quiz that day. ugh bad day for school

  396. haha yeah people used to come to school with GIANT monsters and personaly I think I would have died with all the sugar or maybe Id go into a coma, I always wondered whats it like to be in a coma

  397. LOL. I only got 6 hours of sleep last night, but I’m still wide awake because I had a pepsie! HAHAHAHA! Which could explain why I’m a LITTLE bit more hyper than usual.

  398. Should I audition for intermediat honor band with oboe or clarinet? I think oboe, then I’d audition for senior honor band with clarinet. What do you think?

  399. hmm. There are less oboes than clarinets, so oboe would be your better choice. But if you’re better at clarinet than oboe, I’d do clarinet.
    So the more important one should follow those instructions…

  400. There are less oboe players because there are less oboe spots. I think that since I have been playing clarinet longer I’ll audition for senior with that and intermediat with oboe.

  401. wee I just watched the first jurrasic park again
    did you know when Dennis Nedry slips down the waterfall/creek thing they add a slipping noise. They really do(I couldnt find a clip). Then we started watching condemed after we got SUBWAY(cuz it rules, you know it does), but we got interrupted so we could watch Arthor, yes the little kid cartoon, both me and my 18 year old sister watches it. Now Im ready to talk, anyone, anyone?

  402. hey wow!!! u guys leave TONS of comments! i go away for 4 days and there are 400 more comments on me on tv 2 and 1400 comments on this page. That is soooo cool about the roller coaster!

    p.s. there is NO FREAKEN way i am reading all those comments

    anybody still on?

  403. i luv jurrassic park! I am on page 349 of New Moon! Its AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I still cant believe Jacob is a werewolf. But if he is one wouldnt that mean that Billy is one??????? I personally prefer Edward. I have a thing for the people who are introduced first :smiles:

  404. hi guys! so what have i been missing?

    got my drivers permit today… finally! πŸ˜€ lol. my birthday was like in april but i’ve been busy and there just wasn’t enough time.

    on monday we take a trip to a big city for drivers ed and he’s making me be the one who has to drive in the city. which pretty much scares the heck outta me… cuz there are a lot of lanes and TONS of traffic. eek! it’s gonna be sooooo much different than my little city. πŸ™ the other 2 drivers getta drive on the highway.. which is about 10 times easier. and then wednesday i take my driving test! eek! and i have to go 1st! double eek!

    so very glad it’s friday. no softball practice tomorrow. no conditioning. nothing but sleeping in, and swimming in my aunts pool! πŸ˜€

    well i’se gonna go read. talk to yas laters!

  405. i’m here!
    i wonder how much time this clock is ahead of mine…cause my clock says 9:50 PM and it’s the 20th…somehow i don’t think this blog’s time is synced with mine.

  406. i dunno…how long ago did u comment?? depends.
    and, yea, my parents r still together. almost 20 years. but my grandmother (the one who broke her back) is fine now…
    my dad proposed to my mom on the beach, and they were in my dad’s beach, and like a security guy, right after he proposed (my dad, not the security guy–duh!) told them that they couldn’t be on the beach in the jeep, and my dad was just like ‘i just proposed, jerk!’, so ya. my mom’s reaction to the proposal was ‘really and truly? REALLY AND TRULY?!’ which was really sweet. and i am NOT making fun of her when i say that.
    i’m listening to the song ‘every other weekend’, reba mcentire and kenny chesney, and it’s SO SAD!!!
    o well. it’s over now.

  407. hi-low
    my cat is a giant booger. He is like nocturnal, and was in my room trying to catch a fly thta was on the inside of the lampshade of the light i had on (note that the lamp is on a fairly small table by my bed) and Snowbell got onto the table like three times, where I have some breakables. And he put his paws on the table without actually being on it like a gazillion times. He also plays in the boxes in my room (empty or not) and last night was practically wrestling a plastic bag on the floor. He bunny-kicked it, bit it ,chewed it, etc. etc…. And he played with the partially-damp swimsuit that was on my floor that I forgot to put away… so he cuddled and wrestled that, too…
    But I had a slight scare last night. Snowbell was playing with something partially under my bed. Kenzie, my dog, stood up from the end of my bed where the sleeps so I knew something was there. I got up, looked at the end of my bed and saw a flash of white. My cat chased after it, and I didn’t have glasses/contacts on so I couldn’t see it. It turned out to be my sister’s hampster, so I woke my sister and we tried to catch Annie, the hampster. Annie was stupid enough to go to the ledge of the loft that looks down onto the living room (obviously we were upstairs) and decided she wouldn’t come back. So I had to go to the other side of the corner and push her back. then she ran into the guest bedroom and was under the bed and behind the bookshelf before we finally caught her… and this all started at 1:00 in the morning. So I ended up with only a few hours of sleep. And then my mom works my sister and I all morning, cleaning the baseboards on the first and second floor. EVERY ONE OF THEM. Including behind boxes and such that we had to move. There there were dead mesquitos and little black bugs. Blech.

  408. kenny Chesney rocks. Reba did that song with Kenny and some other guy, too. I like country music, but I like modern worship more. But don’t tell my parents πŸ˜‰

  409. o i guess you (i run with vampires) were on like 2 hours ago. w/e.
    i think i have strep…or is it strepp? o well. it’s annoying, cuz i’m going to a new school next year and my mom organized a minigolf thing for monday, and if i don’t show up positive on the quick test then i might not be medicated in time, so i’m just crossing my fingers and praying for the best…
    sigh. strep (strepp?) throat is sooooo annoying but w/e. my mom took me to mcdonalds to get a chicken biscuit thing, and a diet coke, so i’m good. but the test made me wanna gag (the strep test) but i didn’t. i mean, there was more than an hour wait for a five minute appointment. sigh.
    on the subject of caffine. i loooooooooooove diet coke, but my parents dont like me to have it, but. but but but. sometimes, they just can’t refuse (like right after i had an annoying strep test).
    but a couple weekends ago, my family was gonna go down to the beach, but my town’s olde home day was that weekend, and i wanted to go. my dad wasn’t feeling very well, so i stayed with him and went to old home day with my grandparents. it was soooooooo fun, and in like two days, i had like 5+ diet cokes. the sink was filled to the brim with them. before the other guys got home, tho, i had to rinse them out and put them in the recycling bin so as not to raise suspicions. i think i counted 12 in all. but that weekend wuz probably the most fun of my life. my grandparents took me out to breakfast on sat. morning, then to old home day (which included lunch, and a diet coke and an ice cream bar cuz it was like 90degrees), then my dad and i ordered dominoes pizza. on sat, we watched bourne supremacy and bourne ultimatum (we couldn’t find bourne identity), then went to bed around 9, tho i read in bed, then in the morning i went out to breakfast again, and for lunch we had leftover pizza. and on sunday, we watched US marshals, cuz we had seen the fugitive like years ago and i’d been bugging him to watch us marshals for years. so all in all, it was the perfect weekend.
    but it was reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaallllllly hot. like, the humid, sticky hot that new england is famous for.
    but w/e. we had a little fan going, so we were good.
    i hope i can have another weekend like that someday.
    the only thing was, if anyone’s ever seen the bourne movies, then he sorta appears outta nowhere, and i was the only one upstairs (mom and dad are downstairs), but i survived.

    sry, that’s very long. oops. :redface:
    well, gtg. cul8r

  410. k, that was really longer than i thought. whoops 😳
    i have a cat, named rascal, but i sometimes call him cleopatro (u know, the male version of cleopatra?). cats always seem to hog most of ur bed, right? it’s sooooooooooo annoying. i have to push him outta the way just to sleep!! w/e. he’s sweet. i think he’s like 13.
    emily-wa, r u still on?

  411. ii luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv country music. i like, live for the stuff, and sometimes, i can say the title and artists on the first like, five notes. i know. i’m weird. but did i ever claim not to be???
    gtg. i have a nice saturday to look forward to, worrying about not contaminating the other 6 peeps in my family. blech.

  412. hi every one i can’t beleive that it’s alreardy summer it rules have any of you read the vampire diaries they are really good especially if you are obsessed with vampires i love these books talk to y’all laters

  413. o yeah: who said that the simpsons were stupid???? i beg to differ. i luv the simpsons!!
    spider pig, spider pig, does w/e a spider pig does. does he swing from a web? no he can’t, he’s a pig!
    sniff sniff. i agree, they have a really weird sensa humor, but w/e. i think it’s funny!!!

  414. I said simpsons were stupid, because they are. They humor isn’t really as funny as it is inapropriate most of the time. It’s not even that funny… Spider pig was their best work -.-
    Though, again, not as bad as family guy… worst. show. ever.

  415. haha I like both simpsons and family guy
    I <3 Stewie thats why i watch family guy
    I never got <3 I mean I know its suppose to be a heart and I see that but its less than three to me
    so I guess I less than three(<3) stewie haha

  416. Yes it is! GO HOUSE! He’s my favorite jerk ever! Woo, LoL! Okay yeah so I’m gonna like die of a heat stroke any second. I want it to rain SO bad, we can see lightning and stuff and it’s all over cast and humid but no rain. I feel jipped. It’s so HOT! Ah.

  417. Same here! It’s hot out and the wind is insane! I am sunburned so badly and I was outside for an hour and a half. I burn to easily.

  418. Gosh, I’m really burned too. Ack. Seriously, my skin’s like the equivalent of the lightness of the Cullens. Not kidding. I burn SO easily, but it was worth it, to go swimming yesterday cuz it was SUPER hot but it’s even worse today. Stupid weather. What’s up?

  419. I’m so happy because I finally got to rent the episodes of House that I haven’t seen yet and I’m going to watch them tonight. But I’m also sad and depressed as you likely could tell from my blog. Also, tierd. Painting shoes at 1am is good, but you pay for it later.

  420. LoL, yeah…I was kept up all night by my cousin(we were swimming till like midnight, teehee.) and then we watched a buncha movies and stuff and she woke me up at 7.

  421. Yeah. Me and my friend swam til 1am, then painted shoes, then watched a really really really old narnia movie that seriously sucked so bad I thought it was funny.

  422. LOL! Me and my friends yesterday made jokes about how we were going to get arrested for insane cultish activities, such as burning the fruits that we mumified in social class in the fire that we were singing Harry Potter songs around.

  423. Here is a song that me and my friends sang yesterday. It’s so funny! “Oh mr. Toad, oh mr. Toad, why are you lying on the road. Oh mr. Toad, oh mr. Toad, why are you lying on the road. You used to be so big and fat. And now you are so round and flat. Oh mr. toad, oh mr. Toad, why are you lying on the road”. LOL!!!!!!

  424. I just got back from the mall
    We decided to go green and walk back to my house from the mall since its not far
    I got my hat black with white pinstrips
    HOUSE MD is the bestest show ever along with BONES

  425. Im sorry
    My dads crow is here we had to give him a bath he fell into a tub of oil gross
    so hes upstairs playing on a little mini keyboard he actualy knows what hes playing to
    hes really smart but is still creepy and is starting to fly

  426. Seriously? Mine is just being slow because it is mad at me. And I don’t know why! I updated my blog today. Shouldn’t that keep my computer feeling used?

  427. i’ve destroyed like 2 computers already. i’m on my third. lol.

    House is fawesome. my tv is broken and has been for like 2 weeks maybe longer now so i haven’t been able to watch it. i missed the season finale too. πŸ™ it was a bummer.

  428. I suck with computers. I just use them for fun. I don’t understand them. I’m so tierd. Don’t stay up past 1am painting shoes and watching really old and really bad versions of the Chronicals of Narnia, because then you will get tierd. Also, if you throw a midnight swim and the burning of the mummified fruit in, you will be tierd. But still, burning mummified fruit is fun.

  429. i stayed up till 3 rereading New Moon. i read the sad part again where Edward leaves Bella. and guess what… i cried again! not as much this time. only a few tears. but it was still sad.. even though i knew he’d be back.

  430. what do you mean by paint shoes?
    Ive patched up shoes(which i need to redo) and that was fun, hard but fun
    but painting sounds fun

  431. When you paint shoes, you buy white shoes and paint them with paint. Then you glue-gun stuff to them. FUN! Burning mummified fruit is fun too!

  432. (Just so you know, I didn’t murder the friend that I mummified in case anyone was wondering, it was for an Egyptian Tomb Exhibit thingy for school)

  433. my brother once had a mummified lizard once
    we found him in one of our old aquariums
    my mom chased my sister around with it
    goood times gooood times

  434. Ha. Hmmm….someone just pointed out how much I say Hmmm, uh, and um when I talk everyday, but when I’m speaking for a class or something I totally drop doing that. It’s weird but I guess that’s good, for most people it’s the other way around…odd…

  435. I usually don’t talk like that. But people often point out that when I talk, it varies from sounding like an alien to sounding like someone who learned english as a second language.

  436. when i was like in 5th grade one of my friends had a Halloween party and we had a competition to see which team could mummify their person the fastest. it was fun. and then we had a contest where you hang an apple from a string that is tied to the ceiling and you have to try and finish your apple before the other people finish theirs with your hands tied behind your back… it’s soo hard to bite into the apple.

    i say like a lot.

  437. There really is nothing to say. But nothing is similer to everything, therefore there is everything to say. But that doesn’t mean that everything ought to be said.

  438. Ha, yeah…me too. People have told me that I have a slight British accent, but that might be partially my fault cuz I talk in a fake accent all the time and it sticks sometimes, lol.

  439. my friends think Im gonna go emo because i changed my myspace(of all things) to something slightly creepy( but super fool check it out http://skary.net/) and Im just the most emo out of them all because I dont wear hollister AE though I dont have a grudge, just dont, and like dark colors and neon cuz neon is bomb.org and like rock bands ggggrrrr annoying much

  440. Sure. Society sucks. Life sucks. And soon the world will likely go crazy due to the fact that people are self centered jerks and we really shouldn’t be alive because all we do is distroy the world. People are just like weeds and that’s the end of it.

  441. i love British accents! they are fawesome!

    i drove today. it was fun. i scared my mom. πŸ™‚

  442. HeHe,sounds fun Kay-wa! Andrea-la that’s pretty much the cold hard truth in a nutshell. … . Wait…how come people always say nutshell? Why not egg shell? or seashell? Huh?

  443. its true personaly I like the word corrupt but dont blame yourself just be a good person and make good decisions because its all you can do. and dont forget not everyone is a robot or self-centered, though most are, i mean you have us I try to think Im not like that and it seems alot of us arent like that..But i completely agree with you

  444. I don’t know why people say nutshell. Probably because people are stupid. My mom totally doesn’t let me buy black clothes in fear that I will go emo. Just because I hate commericalism, society, and a large amount of people doesn’t mean I’m emo.

  445. Look, a vast amount of people suck and I still like them. And I don’t know why, but I want to be populare. I can’t even understand myself, so I have studying mindcontrol, and that is basically commercialism in an eggshell. Society has brainwashed a vast amount of the population into thinking that they need stuff that they don’t, but soon enough false needs become real needs.

  446. my mom doesnt care what I wear or anything like that. As long as Im not harming myself Im ok. Oh and as long as its approprot, like nothing revealing(to an extent where its
    slutty<–had to say it couldnt think of a better word),
    but any styles ok

  447. My mom is all like “you should wear this because then a boy would like you”. Yeah, my mom is more into fashion than me. But fashion seems kinda cool, I could get into it. You know, if I brainwashed myself that way. I really am getting good at that. If you life a lie long enough, it becomes reality. Same with the way that you think. If I were to think someone elses thoughts, I would become someone else. Maybe that’s just me though.

  448. Don’t get all, Grr, die people cuz you suck and destroy things. Cuz “we”(as in people in general, not literally us) did what “we” did and now we have to deal with it. So I just say, deal with the cards as they are dealt. So yeah, people destroy things, “we” always will, we (as in literally US) have to live with it. I wouldn’t get all depressed about it though, I mean I know it’s IMPORTANT like flashing neon sign saying dead end you’re about to go over a cliff important,(true story, Our car went over a cliff with us in it.) and it’d be smart not to ignore it, but it doesn’t say SULK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE CUZ THERE’S NOTHING LEFT FOR YOU CUZ THE WORLD’S SCREWED UP. HAHA. People are indeed very very stupid. But that’s what makes us people. We make mistakes, lots of them. It’s just taking us longer than intended to fix those mistakes, too long. Even so, I’m proud to be a stupid person. In my world the economy is failing, there’s world hunger, in my world there’s innocent people dying everyday for no reason, there’s global warming, in my world polution is everywhere, there’s people fighting for reasons they can’t even remember, everyday, in my world there is no peace, in my world, most people just sit back and watch all this happening, in my world I want to make a difference, but I can’t do it alone, and I can’t do it by being depressed about it. My world’s been greatly screwed up. Who wants to turn the other cheek and and take my world head on? I’m game.

  449. Cool. Taking the world head on. But you don’t get it. The problem is that I want to be populare, but would hate it. Therefore I would hate myself. But I hate myself now because…I’m not populare. See the problem.

  450. more than half the world is living a ie
    we all have dirty little secrets we wish we could shange
    people are just wrong to think some of these things should be worshiped but even when they know its wrong, they dont stop worshiping because its what the mainstream is doing
    it is brainwashing to a essence more of peirpressure….

  451. People seriously are stupid. Changing the world would be cool. If everyone would just share their secrets the world might be a better place. But I wouldn’t be the first to start.

  452. Andrea-la… stay close to 2 or 3 friends. that’s all you need, really. acceptance from the crowad is overrated. but if you have 2 or 3 friends that really care… that really understand you for you… that laugh along with you.. that you can trust with everything.. well that’s all you really need.

  453. Ill face the world
    whatever comes at me Ill be ready
    i shade my eyes now only because the spotlight scares me
    Ill share a secret:
    second grade is when I lost my friends, they spread nasty rumors to everyone making me an outcast for five years in elementary school, thats when I lost my faith in people
    in fourth grade I had one friend, all her other friends hated me but she was fine that year, until she got better friends
    now shes doing drugs with the popular crowd, Im glad Im not her friend
    the reason I dont want to be popular is because Im afraid, because I know those girls they havent changed since second grade.

  454. You’re right, I don’t get it at all. I will never understand why popularity is so important. In my mind, it’s a key without a lock. I could have it, anyone could take it, but would it be wise to miss it when it had no purpose in the first place? I mean sure, it gave me comfort! Self esteem! That’s all I need! Who needs real friends when I have these total strangers standing next to me who don’t give a crap about me?! That would replace me in a heartbeat if it would better their reputation?! I mean, my whole life revolves around what other people think of me, so why not give it a shot? I’ll give these popular people control of me, I’ll be their puppet, do everything for them,be loyal, and when they turn their backs on me…it won’t be so bad? I wouldn’t be too broken, would I? I’d still be able to go back to those other people…what did I used to call them? My friends? Yeah…they’re not so popular though…hmm….who else is there? I know! I’ll just go ask those popular people to be back in their group! Maybe if I do nice things for them they’ll care more!…They turned away again. Why would they do that? Aren’t I good enough for them? I mean…I helped them out, and did everything I could…isn’t that enough? Didn’t they say that they were my friends?….When I fill in a college resume,will there be a place to say whether or not I was popular in highschool? When I fill in a job resume? When I meet new people, will they ask? There should be, shouldn’t there? I mean, it was so important. When I go in for an interview, I’ll tell them. I’ll tell them that I was popular, at least for a little bit. When I get turned down by the head professor or the dean at the college, cuz there were no locks that popularity could open, I won’t be too hurt will I? Not too broken? You’re right. I guess I don’t understand.

  455. they stay because they dont want to be alone
    so they just take all the crap their given
    and I know I was friends with those girls knew them well, i still have their secrets that ive yet to tell horrid secrets they told me because I was the only one who would listen, and I still am for some of them. These people are crushed inside sufficated by people who dont care for them but will hate them in an instance for one original idea. I dont want to be there ever again

  456. Look. That was mean and you are right, you don’t get it. Sure, you get it in your own way, but you opinion is bias, as is mine. Look at it from my perspective. I don’t fit in with my friends that I have currently. Sure I SOMETIMES do, but not always. I had old friends who were popular, but I can’t remember why I decided not to hang out with them anymore. I have sat with some of the popular people at my school, and they are really nice. Some of them. One of them is my second cousin. See, I want to hang out with people who I could possibly like more than my friends. But that would kinda wreck me so I don’t know what to do.

  457. Hang out with them if they care about you and you could relate to them, not because they’re popular. I dont look like my friends but they care and do have some interests with me, it does create contaversy, which I handle with pride

  458. That wasn’t meant to be mean. And I’m not saying that would happen to you, but I’m saying it’s happened to people in the past, it’s happening to people now, and it will undoubtedly happen to people in the future, I just hope that you…well I would have said, that you are smart enough, but from what I’ve read of what you write or whatever, you’re not dumb, so I won’t say that, I’ll say, I hope you open you’re eyes long enough so you don’t get hurt. Sit with WHOEVER you want. Be friends with WHOEVER you want. Just don’t lose sight of the order your priorities are in.

  459. Look. There are more of them. They are better liked. Who doesn’t want that? At least to some extent? I don’t know if they care about each other, but would it kill me to find out?

  460. Priorities…yeah, people so often say that I don’t have them straight. I would rather die then be expelled, I would rather chop off my left hand then never hear music again, but there is something else that I don’t know about. Look, I used to say that I would die before being popular, but I don’t agree with myself anymore. It’s creepy when you don’t agree with yourself, and it makes you need to agree with someone else. I guess that I could agree society. That is an OPTION. I wont do anything rash too soon. And yeah, priorities confuse me.

  461. No try but dont lose contact with those who undoutably care for you for a while, keep you eyes open, and if they do care for you great you have more friends just stay yourself and dont change for the sake of others

  462. Here, I’ll tell you something. I tried to be populare a couple months ago, but it didn’t work. Not because of me though. And not because the popular people wouldn’t accept me. It was because my current friends were totally freaked out by me. I just don’t want to feel like I am glued into place by my friend’s fear.

  463. And yeah, I’ve seem people get sucked in. And yeah, it’s more other people’s safety that I’m concerned about! But is it getting sucked in because it is real gold, or fool’s gold?

  464. dont be held down by their friendsif they dont accept your decisions thats not right…I only have two friends who really accept my ways of thinking and personal style

  465. Also, change is practically my middle name. Let’s count…4 schools since grade 4. I can deal with change. Just the other day when I was rereading my diary entrys from a couple months ago, it scared me how much I’d changed.

  466. Priorities change as you go on in life. It’s like…When I was little I used to be scared to death of Thunderstorms. Yet just today, I ran outside and got soaked in one, and sat on the porch watching the lightning streak the sky. I changed my mind about that, as I went on in life. You don’t have to think the same forever. It’s not weird to change your mind. (HeHe, I’d rather die than be expelled too. But I think I’d keep my hand…)

  467. change is good
    like when people think bands have sold out, they usually change, because it happens to everyone some just dont accept it so they only change on the inside and keeped themselves lock up in a shell of their former self who they dispise making them hate themselves

  468. Im mystical but thats not the point
    you should disregard all others just change to what you really are and summers a great time to discover yourself and it seems thats what we all want I sure do
    so if I help you, will you help me

  469. Ha, change used to bug me SO much. I’m used to it now though. I’ve been to…I think…nine different schools since second grade, and I’m going into ninth. In my whole life I’ve lived in I think 14 different houses. We used to have to move around a lot because of my Dad’s job, but we’ve been in the same place for a while now. I used to cry every time I had to say goodbye, but one day I figured, heck my whole life is just one big goodbye, so why say hello in the first place? I stopped getting attached to things. I stopped making friends. I was scared to do anything, cuz I knew it would end as soon as it began. But now…I have a group of friends that I’d give the world for.I was only able to stay close to one friend through the whole time. She’s my best and truest friend now, and I’d trust her with absolutely anything. I guess that’s partly why I’ve never cared about popularity, cuz nothing ever seemed permanent. Now it is. But my way of thinking in that aspect, didn’t change. Cuz I realized what is important to me and what’s not.

  470. PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME! Look, I can’t just go off and “discover who I am”. With me it doesn’t work that way. At school when asked a question I give the answer straight from the text book. I can’t just start thinking for myself. Life doesn’t work that way.

  471. Change is beside the point. Why is the question. You really have to become attached to things. I became attached to my best friend in the world but we both moved away, so I haven’t seen her in over a year. Which brings me to a quote from the book Stargirl, “Can you loose your favorite person without loosing yourself?”

  472. make it work that way
    you need to forget everything anyone has taught you about your lifestyle
    you need to make your own opinions and go with them
    i promise you, ill help to the best of my ability because i know it will help me discover my own true self

  473. you make your true self go somewhere to think, to be alone without people pushing and pulling you to who they think you sould be you are yourself its just hidden by others opinions

  474. And let’s face it. I could act like a hundred different people, but tell me to be myself and you have me analysing people and who they want me to be.

  475. you dont do either you only enhance yourself. Your opinions may be from books and school but with every opinion your given ask yourself do you agree with it and why

  476. And I think almost too much. I am truest when writing in my journal or on my blog. I am untruest when with my friends. I view this as an issue.

  477. But then I start analysing stuff. Which could lead to me being locked up in my room until I come to the conclusion that the world sucks and I don’t know what to agree with because no one told me which to agree with.

  478. put your opinions in a journal you carry with you in your heart(or on paper that works too) and stay true to those ideas others can affect you but dont let them make you

  479. But then again, I have a different outlook on life than most people. I see things differently, I’ve been told, like an “Old soul”, whatever they seem to mean by that.

  480. Also, others have made me my whole life. I’m a piece of purple fluff. I can’t think for myself and I only move because of people’s movements around me.

  481. If I would have read all the things that I’ve said in the past few weeks on here until now, I would have thought that I was the most opinionated person in the world. But I guess my opinions were just an act. But still, I can’t help wondering about being popular. Is it good or bad? Evil, or angelic? Stupid, or incredible?

  482. my outlook lets change happen around me but only in me if I want it to. I lay back and watch things change the way they happen without concerning me. I watch others and take mental notes alongside my opinions and beliefs

  483. You keep asking if we actually have our own true self. I tend to analyze things too, to the point that people get annoyed with me, and tell me it’s just the way that it is. And I get so frustrated when there isn’t a clear answer. This is one of those questions where there is no clear answer. Because we are ourselves, whether we realize that or not. But we are other people too. There can be 100 people in a crowd, and I’d bet you they could ALL find similar feelings and things between eachother, at least one other person in the crowd. It may be little, and it may be just plain creepy how alike you are to them, and you could have gone your whole life never knowing about that person! Think of it! We’re all carbon copies of eachother, made equal, but made all UNIQUE at the same time. Yes, it is WEIRD, INSANE, PSYCHO, I know. Lots of things are. You are yourself. You are other people. You watch, you learn from others, subconsciously aware that you’re always taking traits from others. What makes you YOU though, is if you choose to take the good traits or the bad. What makes you YOU is filtering the influence. Cuz it’s everywhere.

  484. No, but you don’t get it. We are what society makes us. We are unique because we are made out of a lot of different people, not because we are us. I don’t always agree with what I just said, but right now it makes sense. There is no such thing as being ourselves, we are only bits of pieces of other people. Or at least that’s me. Hopefully you people are unique.

  485. right TZ
    you are everything and everyone but yet still yourself
    life has no true answer, it may have a definition in the dictonary but so does normal but thats an opinion among us
    so you live life on first thought in things like your personal thoughts
    if you like those tripp pants in the window wear them
    if you like that cute blue shirt in AE buy it
    if you like both wear them both because its what you like

  486. I can’t ever get what goes on in your mind, or anyone else’s, because it’s yours. Not mine. Andrea-la, what’s your favorite name?Kenzie too, what’s yours? (Just go along with this for a sec please.)

  487. name?like peoples
    well I like my middle name Jolene
    but also Alyss (alice) because its oldfashion in a new way
    ooh and Tegan
    those are just girls im very indesicive

  488. I didn’t say I was going to try to. So don’t get snappy.(Jk,please don’t be angry with me though I’m just trying to explain what I think of this.) My favorite name is Cassian. I’ll give Kenzie a sec, cuz Idk if she’s still here or not…

  489. Oops, nevermind. She commented before I saw! Okay, favorite color now? and favorite animal? Sorry…these are the last questions. My fav. color is turquoise and my fav. animal is…well I love tons of animals but let’s go with…bengal tiger.

  490. I’m asking you cuz I want to show you that we are all different. We have different preferences, different ideas of what’s “cool”.(lol)Just forget the favorites, just us discussing this with different views is an example of you having your own opinions. Society didn’t tell you to have that opinion, it didn’t tell me to have mine. You came up with it. No, you’re probably not the first to come up with it, but you did nonetheless.

  491. Janelle is my mom’s favorite name. Blue is my older cousin’s favorite color. Irrawaddy dolphin is my friend’s favorite animal. See, not my opinions.

  492. That’s what I think, you don’t have to agree. I’m not trying to “brainwash” you, but I’m calling truce. I’d rather you not be mad at me, I don’t like it when people are mad at me, so I’m stepping down now that my opinions clear. I don’t understand you. You don’t understand me. I’m letting go of trying to understand anything. So can we go back to talking about metaphorical dr. pepper & lemon shoes???

  493. And blue was “in” fairly recently but is switching to green (and so am I), Janelle was what my mom almost named me so naturally I am attached to it, and “going green” is “in” right now and Irrawaddy dolphins are going extinct. See, hard as I might try, these are not my opinions, they are someone else’s. I hate being asked my favorite thing because I don’t have favorites, which is a sign of not having opinions.

  494. Metaphorical Dr. Pepper shoes are stupid. I don’t see why I came up with them in the first place and I don’t see why I am arguing for opinions that I am not even sure are mine. But I don’t get mad at people for voiceing their opinions because frankly I’m jealous that they have them. And to an extent I do understand you. You remind me somewhat of how I wish I could act on a regular basis, but that would be acting. You kinda remind me of how I was in grade 5. And I wish I was still in grade 5.

  495. lol. Yes, I am opinionated about not having opinions. You are right about that being odd. I am an opinionated person without opinions. I’ll opinionate the few opinions that I do have which are about opinions. Did that actually make sense?

  496. I really dont have faorites i had many answer
    but it was because im horrid at making decisions
    you just need to have an open mind but strong opinions like in religion you stuck to your guns during that
    your opinions just need to be something your happy with
    and I agree with TZ but We can continue it elsewhere like email or such if you like I would like o continue but also have some simple convo too

  497. Made complete sense. But really, I’m a writer. I have an extremely active imagination. As far as I’m concerned,I’m in grade 5 for eternity, at least in a sense.

  498. But I’m happy here for now. I think. I’m starting to question what I think. Sometimes I think I go on autopilot and turn into a robot.

  499. I’m a writer too. My imagine explodes in many forms(aka shoes with clay on them, stories about aliens, ect.). I wish I could stay in grade 5 forever. That is when I was at the same school as my best friend…

  500. so do I Andrea-la so do I
    you just always gotta comeback
    now have either of you ever heard of ska music like REEl BIG FISH good music

  501. I want to see the world. I have such a narrow perspective of what’s around me, of the air that I breathe, I just want to actually SEE everything. Not just the good, I want to see the bad too. All of it. So I can understand. Or at least try. Sorry, random, but it’s been building up in me for a while…

  502. See the world. I’ve seen the world. I’ve been to Egypt, I’ve been to Europe, I’ve been to Indoniesia. I still don’t feel like I can begin to understand the world around me.

  503. Well, I’m gonna go now cuz I was on the computer longer than I intended to be, and I want to finish Eagle Strike(Alex Rider book, it’s really good) so this is goodbye for now. *saluts Kenzie and Andrea-la*

  504. ska is the genre
    it uses like brass instraments look em up their cool
    their music is just a little full of profane words
    also dispatch song the general
    ah so cute

  505. the simpsons do have some inappropriate humor, but they have some really funny humor, too. most of it doesn’t make any sense, tho, but that makes it all the more funny.
    i don’t know if i’d wanna be popular. my older sister and her friends are just so…i dunno how to describe it. they’re not exactly in the popular crowd, but they’re not outcasts. my older sister really thinks that the popular crowd is just stupid.
    last night we watched fellowship of the ring and the two towers, extended version. we started at 5pm, and it ended at midnight. we’re gonna watch return of the king tonight. but i couldn’t sleep cuz of my throat thing. the results for the test came back negative, so my mom says it’s probably a virus.
    w/e. i’ll just grin and bear it………………
    //unwraps another coughdrop//
    the only coughdrops i can have are the luden’s cherry stuff…the numbing stuff, well, i’d rather throw up than have those–they taste DISGUSTING!

  506. wow, how long is your church Andrea-La? Mine’s only 45 min long. OMG!!!! I just finished New Moon yesterday. I was reading like CRAZY. We were looking at stone for our new house and i was reading during the car ride to each place. I NEED TO READ ECLIPSE!!!!!! The stupid library doesnt have it, and it’s checked out until july 13, and that doesnt count if it’s late!!!! UGH!!! And i only have enough to buy the paper back copy and the Border’s in my town only has it in hardback! Why oh why didnt i get any borders or barnes and nobles gift cards for my b-day??

  507. My church is only 1 hour, but it takes half an hour to get there. I really felt the same way when I was reading Eclipse. I was reading it on the airplane to vancuver, and I had two more chapters left when the plane landed and my mom was “put your book away”, so I read it in a random store when my mom was forcing me to go shopping.

  508. so I’m like 9 days late….but thanks so much for posting this Scott!!!! This place is actually about an hour away from me and I never would’ve known it existed, and these are such cool pictures, almost exactly what I pictured, even though it’s not metal and all, I’d love to go out to a place like this!

  509. -Lucky… getting a cool name like that.

    -That is your REAL name isn’t it??? — Isn’t it ??????

    Ok… I am maybe a LiTTLe sleep deprived.

  510. Reallllly late post on this… but I was just doing drawings of the hoverboarding on the coaster scene, and this is sort of like how I imagined it. =)

  511. but the roller coaster in uglies was steel so they could ride it with hoverboards so that picture isn’t right. πŸ™

  512. well i personally thing this image is very powerful…not familiar with uglies, although i can gather from other comments its a book. i’ll look into reading that… but what i want to know is where in the world you were able to find the coaster in the picture? this shot really is quite magical and i feel there is most definately an interesting story behind it.

  513. wow…………good times, good times. I remember this….wow…..it seems like all these convos happened just yesterday, but at the same time forever ago…..wow.

  514. I hardly ever comment on on this type of website. I did however really enjoy reading the original authors article. I will go through the rest of the web site. Thank-you
