Robin’s Last Post

Posted on by scott

Scott here. We just got back from the first leg of Justine’s tour. It was a total blast, so thanks to everyone who came along! We’ll be on the road again soon, so hope to see you in Philadelphia, upstate NY, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, and Texas.

Robin, our redoubtable guest-blogger this week, sent me this post yesterday, but I was in aircraft all day, so it’s slightly out of date . . . oops. Just read it and imagine it’s still Friday.

Take it away, Robin!
___________

Is anyone else really tired today? Like crawl-back-into-bed-wait-for-Saturday tired? It can’t just be me.

Anyway, apparently, a lot of bloggers do this thing called the Friday Five. I don’t, because I don’t really understand the point, other than the fact that both words start with an F – but since today is Friday, and since I oh so coincidentally have five things to mention, I figured I’d go with it. I do love me some alliteration. So…

Friday Five!

1. Want to win an iPod shuffle? Enter the SKINNED contest! Here’s how:

Write me a newspaper headline from the year 2060. (Eg: “This Year’s Top Vacation Spot: Venus” or “Apple Announces Record Sales for iJetPack” or “Lichtenstein Declares War on Republic of Disneyworld!” – you get the idea.)

Email me your headline — robin (at) robinwasserman (dot) com – by October 10. Two runners up will get a skin for their phone or iPod. And one winner will get an iPod shuffle!

Winners announced on my blog October 13.

*It’s a random drawing. So don’t stress about your headline.
*If you win, and you don’t want the prize, you can request a B&N gift certificate instead.
*If you don’t want your email address entered onto my mailing list (to receive updates on Skinned, future contests, etc), let me know in your entry.

2. Obligatory self-promotion. Want to know more about SKINNED? You can read an excerpt here or watch the trailer:

3. Okay, end of obligatory self-promotion. You guys have been awesome, sharing some of your obsessions with me, so I figured I’d reciprocate by sharing some of mine with you. Am currently loving:

a. Joss Whedon (Firefly, Angel, Dr. Horrible’s, Buffy!!!) – I want to be Joss Whedon. I hear that job is already taken, so I’ll settle for marrying Joss Whedon. Or being his best friend. Or getting his dry cleaning. Or, hypothetically, sitting outside his house with high-powered binoculars gazing adoringly at his every move. (Um, hi Joss. Hi Joss’s lawyers. That totally wasn’t me outside last night, writing “Robin hearts Spike” in the condensation on your window. Really.)

b. Battlestar Galactica – this show explores a lot of the same issues I do in SKINNED. I’m told by my editor, my agent, my friends, and common sense that I should probably stop telling people the show does it better. So I’ll just say that this show is one of the greatest pieces of sci-fi ever created. Draw your own conclusions.

c. Spring Awakening soundtrack – I just bought this (for rather embarrassing reasons connected to its repeated appearance on the horrendous 90210 spin-off). Cannot stop playing it. Am playing it now. Over and over and over and over . . .

d. Gossip Girl (the tv show) – first you think it’s trash. Then you think it’s trashy brilliance. Then you realize it’s just brilliant. (And then you realize you’ve fallen in love with Chuck. And you feel a little gross about that. Then you love him all the more.)

e. Miscellaneous – ‘sweet and salty’ brownies, Lost, Friday Night Lights, Midnighters, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, WNBA, Gotham Girls Roller Derby, politics, Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, Josh Jackson, Robert Downey, Jr, and (this falls into the category of actual, unhealthy obsession) going to B&N on a semi-daily basis and counting how many copies of my book they have left on the shelves.

4. THANK YOU to all of you guys for being so friendly and fabulous while I was hanging out here for the week. I feel like I’ve been house-sitting for a guy with a flat screen TV, 500 channels, a personal chef, and an indoor pool. Suffice it to say, I’m none too pleased to be heading back to my run-down apartment with the broken microwave and the leaky roof. But I hope some of you will come and visit me there — robinwasserman.livejournal.com. If you’re wondering what I usually post about, well . . . see above.

Seriously, this has been so much fun, and you guys are the best. Scott’s lucky to have fans like you! (Well, I guess we can agree he’s not lucky, so much as brilliant and deserving. Except when he does things like k___ Zane. Why, Scott? Whyyyyyy?)

5. I’ve given it a lot of thought and, while I’m still open to debate on the subject, I feel I have to come down on the side of speed, agility, magical horns, and lack of skin-rotting, brain-eating grossness, not to mention all things being equal I prefer to root for the underdog, so . . . UNICORNS!

  1. we’re all going to miss you, robin. i’ll have to remember to drop by your blog sometime. have to finish reading your book first, though.

  5. Aw im totally gonna come see you at your little apartment, Im sure alot of us will and it will soon be a awsome house/masnsion just like Scotts!
    Haha battlestar awsome. Everyone at my house watches it, but no one says they do. But whenever it comes on we all know whos who and everyhing, its quite funny actually.
    …..I need to think of a awsome headline now, even if it doesnt really matter.
    Unicorns p-own all other mythical creatures, I do like their Harry Potter cousin, the Threstal though, but Unicorns all and forever!

    Gah this keyboard is soo weird its all jelly and orange and really hard to type on, I mean you can fold it in half for petes sake! it may sound cool but in isnt.

  6. “Is anyone else really tired today? Like crawl-back-into-bed-wait-for-Saturday tired? It can’t just be me.” Ha! Its very funny that you would have said that on Friday because I stayed up all Friday night into Saturday morning. Or maybe that’s just funny to me…
    I LOVE UNICORNS!!! They were the stars on my presentations about ecosystems. *Chaaarrrrlllie!*
    I’ve never seen gossip girl but I did read this really funny article about it ( http://buyordontbuy.com/2008/09/buy-watching-gossip-girl-with-the-sound-off/ ). I laughed really really hard.

  8. Hey! OMG i haven’t been on here in like forever! it is so crazy, and it looks like everyone has kinda ran off like me but i shall remember to read this when i get the chance! so how is everybody? huh huh huh!

    ya well i lost my pass word to my blog and i can’t remember how to spell my user name correctly so that has knida gone down the tolete. i am about to try to get oin there yet again, but i doubt it will work. well….

    i hate 8th grade beccause my math teacher is oing this weird thing called layered cirrulcelum and i end up wth 3 to 5 hours of homework everynight, and i end up call my brother every 3 mins asking for help becasue we get no notes at all.

    then i have my frist two advanced classes this year, and just in the month and a week i’ve been in school i’ve had 5 test’s, 16 projects, and another 22 extra credit projects to do. so ya. then in P.E. we do these things called “9 stations’non stop, and i end up spelling horrid.

    i just hate it. then i have not ime to go to my home away from home here, and write. and it bugs me becasue my brain feels like it is going to elploud from good idea’s for stories, and wondering what’s going on here, and trying to retain all ofthe information in school, and get my homework done, hang with my friends, and do as my parents want, and do my freaken chores. so ya been reall reall busy.

    and wat malkes me really mad is i can’t go on vation bymyself anymore becasue of how much plane tickets cost. one ticket costs $500, just to colorado. so ya not such a good start.

    sry for my ranting. lol

    Sophie-La

  9. I will totally miss u,robin! Scott better post as much as u do from now on,lol.Make sure to 2 write scotts posts when he is on his next tour! Oh,and,sophie-la,that sucks about ur homework.Sarah,good job getting first post,lol.I never get first post! also,I am just amazed with the skinned book.how do u think of this cool stuff,robin? It`s so totally bubbly! oh,and has everyone heard about scott`s new book bogus to bubbly?i can`t wait!

  11. Ah, a bittersweet moment, it is. Gonna miss ya robin-la, but it’ll be cool to have scott-la back, too. And Sera-Zane, of course we know they’re PURE EVIL! Why else would I love em??? HeHe. Will definitely check out your blog!

  13. um,amy la? what was that?! u posted 2 say u had to clean ur room?lol. Tally & Zane,have u watched the charlie the uncorn thing on utube?u should so check it out.

  17. I will miss you Robin-wa! I’ll be sure to visit your blog too!
    And uh, hello, zombies are like, awesome.
    They don’t die until you decapatate them. My personal opinon.
    and Yay! Scott-la!

  18. Yeah, but zombies have no brain capacity! All they do is walk around really stiffly and slowly and make noises like UNNNNGGGGHHHHHHH! Before they try to eat your flesh. That’s not very nice if you ask me! They need some manners! I can see it now! Like a circle of zombies all holding teacups with their pinkies up and sitting cross legged and then one of their eyes falls out and into the cup and he sips it, and they’re all like, aaaaaaagggghhhhhhhh, and go on a wild rampage and try to devour their unicorn instructor but it impales one with its horn but it gets stuck in it and we have to saw half of it off to get the zombie unstuck and now for the rest of it’s life the unicorn will wear a bag over it’s head because it has very low self esteem cuz the other unicorns make fun of him. Poor, poor unicorn. And it’s all the zombie’s fault cuz they have no hygeine and don’t take care of themselves so their eyes fall out. Tsk Tsk Tsk. Ha. This is what happens when I am bored.

  20. Wow! You’re a great blogger, Robin, and I can’t wait to read Skinned. It was a pleasure reading your posts.

  21. You are guest-blogging for Scott Westerfeld. You like Joss Whedon and Spring Awakening. (I watched 90210 for the sole purpose of seeing them perform “Mama Who Bore Me”.)

    Will you leave your post outside Joss Whedon’s house and marry ME?

    (Um. Not really. I…I can’t wait to read Skinned? Will that make you put the restraining order away?)

  22. D=
    I’ll miss you Robin-la!
    You’re a great blogger and an awsome writer (I just bought “Skinned” and I’m making all my friends do the same xD)

  26. Robin, we seem to have a lot of likes in common, so I might have to give Gossip Girls a chance and stop hating them for displacing Veronica Mars. I know intellectually that it isn’t really GG’s fault that VM was canceled…but you know how it is.

  28. OMG, cool contest! Sadly though, all my homework is quite potent at weathering away any ounce of creativity I have, so I doubt I could think of a good entry.
    That is SUCH a sick a sick trailer! Wonder who made it….
    I think I’ve heard about that show, though I have no idea what channel it’s on (although probably, no surprise, the Sci-Fi one), or time.
    I love Gossip Girl! I actually read the first book after the first season, and found it a bit dissapointing, which is very rare, because I practically NEVER choose a movie or show over a book. Not sure if I agree with the loving Chuck thing, but the second season sure is making it a bit easier to so far.
    (Again,) OMG, I’m in absolute love with Midnighters! Probably my fave Scott Westerfeld series. So far I’ve suggested (i.e., forced) three of my friends, and they all loved them! In fact, I’ve actually been lending out a lot of SW books lately, I feel like a Scott-la library.
    Haha, love the unicorns thing. They actually are a pretty cool idea for a mythical creature, but all the glitter, rainbows, and PINK that become associated with them kind of ruin it.

  29. ya was just going to lend Uglies t my cousin and then a book report came up and had to put it off but once thats done with I will convert that little twilight girl to our side haha
    GO UGLIES!!!!she will soon see that this book is better

  30. and it should be easy because she one of the sane lovers that knows that that(shiver) book isn’t nearly as good as Harry Potter and will never be(GO JK ROLING) ( SCOTTT)

  31. srcsmgirl: (love the name, by the way) fair warning — gossip girl is NO veronica mars (which is one of my favorite ever shows, so I should know). If VM were a gourmet pastry baked by the world’s best pastry chef, GG would be a cupcake made from a duncan hines mix. Still very tasty, but in a rather…different way.

    PrettyxMindedxRusty: No need to think up a *good* contest entry — crappy entries (not that I think you’d make one of those) have equal chance of winning!

    Seriously, how am I going to fill my time when I don’t have all your comments to read anymore? I’m going to go into some serious westerblog withdrawal.

  34. well great my day is ruined ur leaving but Scott’s coming back and now im torn between two great people *BIG SIGH* hopefully this will help fire me up for my game today or maybe it’ll just depress me and i’ll play really suckishly. WOW u have alot of interesting interests (haha redundant sorta) I LOVE CHARLIE AND THE UNICORNS!!!! its my favorite youtube show EVER!!!!! i’ve watched every one of them!!! soooo ya im with UNICORNS all the way although i don’t usually like the rainbow sparkle thing but they’re just sooo funny especially when i think of CHAAAAARLIEEEE!!! (hahaha classic)

    I still have to go get ur book and How to Ditch Your Fairy so i can goo to the book tour in Philly which is on wednesday. im soooo excited for that but i’ll be sooo tired for skool on thursday since the tour starts at 7:00 and i don’t know how long it will last and i live two hours away from Philly but i will risk falling asleep in skool (which i do anyway) just for Justine and Scott (ya im a die hard fan) speaking of being a die hard fan i just bought a shirt from the WEARABLE EXTRAS it will be here on monday(once again soooo excited!!!) once i get it i’ll probably wear it for a couple of days straight (with washing of course)

    well i think i’ve posted longer than all of ur attention spans (at least from wat i’ve read all of urs r pretty short) but i want to give robin a kick a** farewell so with out further adu

    GOOOD-BYE ROBIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’LL MISS U (AS WILL EVERYONE BUT ME THE MOST!!!) I WILL REMAIN LOYAL TO U AS A FAN AND BUY ALL OF UR BOOKS (THATS A HINT TO KEEP WRITING MORE!!) SOOO GOOD-BYE (AGAIN) AND AS I SAID BEFORE I WILL MISS U *starts to cry coz speech is sooo amazing and loves robin soo much* GOOD-BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  36. I have to agree with the unicorn thing. i mean, come on, their unicorns!

    I know Scott, WHY!? WHY!? I love Zane!

    Last post…well thats no fun. I liked all of your posts! I was happy you came to sub-in for scott!

  37. Ugh.
    I read The Disreputable History. The story was written very well, original plot, blah, blah, and all that good stuff but I absolutely LOATHED the main character. Purely hated her. She goes on about all this Feminism stuff and then she depends so heavily on her boyfriend? It was that among other things that made me hate her.
    But that’s for another time.
    Aw, man. I was just listening to a song and it’s about the zombie apocalypse. I love that song. [Save Our City- Ludo]
    I don’t really know my own stance on that issue, since I don’t know if they are evil zombies or nice zombies. People always assume that unicorns are nice and sweet and adorable, but how do they know that? For all they know, a unicorn can impale them with their evil horn!
    Also~
    Free shipping, SCORE!

  39. candy mountain chaaaaaaaaaarrrrrliiieeeee.lol.seriously,robin,u have to watch that on utube.Kristina-la:good work! all those twilighters will LOVE uglies.oh,tally&zane,u have a blog,right? could u post the link again? Boo hoo,robin! u need to keep writing on ur blog,cuz if u stopped like scott-la(no offense to the awesome scott-la intended!)I don`t know what i`d do

  40. The real question is: Do zombies do anaerobic respiration?

    I’m not sure who I’ll side with just yet…
    By the way Charlie The Unicorn really bugged me.

    I want to read Skinned so badly!!! AAAH! But I can’t get to the B&N! By the way, how much money will the B&N gift certificate be worth?

  41. why was charlie disturbing?w/e,i love it. and i think zombies don`t need anaerobic respiration,lol.the bn giftcard will probably b as much as an ipod shuffle,bcuz that was the alternative prize.

  42. JM: You know, that’s actually really interesting (about Frankie) — I’ve been having this argument with a lot of people. I totally get why some readers are irritated by Frankie and her desperation to be one of the boys, but that’s actually why I love her so much, because she’s *not* a perfect feminist (nor is she aspiring to be), she’s flawed — in what I think is a pretty realistic way — and obsessed with being a part of the very network she thinks she’s rebelling against. It’s one of the things I like best about the book — but I can totally see where you’re coming from.

    HypotheticalDystopia: Good question, I probably should have mentioned that. The B&N certificate would be $40. $15 for each runner-up. (And I’m happy to do an Amazon gift card instead, if people prefer that. I’m open!)

    Off to watch charlie the unicorn…

  44. I went to my local Chapters today, and they don’t have Skinned! *stabs self because my local Chapters sucks, and because I have nothing to read*

    PS, zombies. and David. Sorry to disagree so harshly D:

  45. wow. this week for me has been soooo very very busy. i haven’t even gotten to come here like at all…*tear*tear*
    i’m gonna order Skinned off of amazon tomorrow! yays! 🙂 …and hopefully it will get here in time so that i can take it with me on the plane on Friday… my cousins getting married so i’m skipping school on Friday and flying out to Colorado for the weekend! well i suppose i should do my math homework now. bleh!

  46. I love LOST and Neil Patrick Harris! If only he was on LOST then life would be more amazing than it already is! 🙂

  47. Idk how the Candy Mountain thing came up, but I love that vid! I found it very stupid at first, and I don’t like the second one too much, but it really is classic in a way. Who doesn’t like random laughs?
    Kristen-la: Good luck on bringing her over to the light (Ugly) side!
    Robin: OMG, this was your last?! Guess I don’t pay much attention, lol. I’m gonna misss your posts!

  48. lol thanks well she wants to read it but I have to use it still
    but she isn’t a crazy insane annoying fan of that book(shiver again) she just likes it without the obsesion that makes my blood boil but she WILL join us!!!

  49. Haha, lol. I do like the Twilight series, and Uglies isn’t my favorite Westerfeld book, but they’re still better!! I’ve never met her, but I think one of my friends already has the title of “crazy insane OCD Twilight fan’ covered, lol. Not that I’m one to talk, I own every one of Scott-la’s YA novels and have read them multiple times.

  50. OMG I just saw your book at barnes and noble a while ago! I couldn’t afford it but i will most definalty read it! 🙂

  51. Hey guys… Sorry I’m not posting half as semi-obbsessively as I did when I first found this blog…

    Robin-la, I am so buying your book. My family went out to eat last night to a new restraunt nearby, and since we had a 40-minute wait we went into the B&N across the street. I immediately went ot the teen section to look for books scott reccomended, and I am officially going to buy How to Ditch Your Fairy, Skinned, and when they come out the Uglies Guide to the Universe and the other Uglies book coming out, the essay one. And I think Scott-la reccomended a book called Code Orange, right? Well, anyway, i found a bunch of books I want to buy now… Only I’ve only got $50 and I’m supposedly trying to buy an iPod Nano… oh god grief, please tell me I said that right, right? IPod Nano? Crap, I’m slow today… I’m home sick, I’m not sure what I have but I’ve felt bad since last night… Bleh.

  52. Your obsession with Joss Whedon made my day (on Monday, not Friday or even Saturday). I must, must, must get my hands on a copy of Skinned.

  53. emily-wa: you’re sick? that’s so super ironic due to the fact that i’m sick too (but i went to school anyways…there was a rehersal for junior vocal group). I hope you don’t have food poisoning…a friend of mine just had that. And yeah, you haven’t been posting as semi-obsessively as you used to…maybe ‘cus of school…idk. And yeah, i just bought a ton of books a week ago, so if i randomly don’t post of a few days that means that i made good choices with the books. Which would be good since i was gonna buy an ipod or a new hair straightener….neither of which i really need, but whatever. but now i’m kinda trying to forget that i want those things because what i really want now is Sims2 Appartment Life. So yeah…also, I’m gonna somehow have to pay for oboe lessons, so I’m pretty much broke. Ultimately I want a laptop, but I’m pretty sure that that’s not gonna happen any time soon. So yeah…Also, emily-wa, when did you find this blog? just wondering….’cus i only found it, say, 3 months ago…

  56. Eep! Anastasia called you old! AND said Robin was better than you!

    UBER-GASPNESS HERE!!

    And yes, I’m sick Andrea-la, and I’m not sure if I have food poisoning… I’m not puking, but I’m thinking it make have been from the pizza from the new restraunt my family went to last night.
    Although nobody else feels uber-sick. I’m such an outcast…

  57. Hey Scott!
    I have a pretty good question for you.
    How did you manage while you were waiting to if your firt book would be publish because write now I’m kindda freaking out. I usually eat a school for lunch time but right now I’m obsessed by eating at home just to be able to go the the mail box (my friends are pretty uch laughing of me about that, thought).
    Please, please, help me. Do you have tricks to get time to go faster? Right now I’m counting the days that passed since I’ve sent my manuscript and I’m pretty much desesperat. xD
    I look so pathetic!

    By the way, I’m sorry if I’ve made mistakes that make my post incomprehensible because I’m a french from Quebec who has the luck to went in English Concentration. I’m pretty good by reading things and watching Tv too but, for writting and talking I’m always obsessed to know if I’m doing mistakes.

    I have time to kill so I will continue my post ( and practice my English writting too :P). I wanted to tell you that I trully love your books. I’ve already read Uglies, Pretties and Extras (in french, of course) and I’m right now waiting for Extras too arrive in my library (here’s another thing for what I’m waiting!). Can’t wait to read it! ** bouncing on my chair just thinking that I will soon read it**. I’ve also red peeps ( in french, again). That book was truly awesome! Actually, peeps was not available while the day after was so, I’ve read the secound one before the first one because I couldn’t wait anymore and guess what? Even reading the secound one before the first make sense and I understood everything. I knew already how the story would end but I loved it so what’s the matter.
    Hey! I was asking you for tricks to make time past faster and, without knowing it, your presently helping me because right now, I’m doing something else than bothering about my book’s response. 😀 But, just by saying it, I remind it and I’m starting again to worry -_-
    xD

    I’m wondering if, right now, I am writting the longest comments on your blog. That would be so cool. 😀
    I just remind something I wanted to tell you.
    Continue posting things on your blog, I like to read it all before going to school. It starts my day on a pretty good note.
    I’d love you to answer me, just by curiosity about what tricks you would give me. Or just to know if you had enough time to loose for reading all my comment.

    I may only be 15 but I’m right now starting a singer’s career. Truly.
    Here’s the link.
    http://www.christianfeeneyfan.skyrock.com
    It’s in French but you can at least watch the videoclip. I would be honour if you would let a comment on the blog 😀
    I made the videoclip myself ( filming, storyboard, montage).
    I’m doing it with my friend and right now we’re working on finding a place where he coul sing. I’m doing the demo 😀
    That’s a pretty interesting project that I’ve started with my friend just for fun but it find out to turn into a serious thing. We’ve already got three fans that want a cd 😀
    Stiil, i may finish this comment here.

    Byee ans thank you for reading it xD Also thank for writting your books because they keep me occupied 😀

  60. lol…i just remembered something….i think i failed french last year…lol…whoohoo! go Manitoba!!! YIPEE!!! CANADA RULES!!! YAY!!! Okay..yeah…I spent WAY too much time doing social studies homework today….

  67. Did I do my name thing right? I never quite figured that la and wa thing out. Anyways I love your books I’m on Extras I have like 50 pages to go! Also Kristina-La my friend was oppsesed with twight but I told her to read Uglies and now she loves Uglies!

  68. lol to prettyxMindedxrusty ya I have to say that I do like midnighters better than uglies but just because it is so much weirer I love it. and none of my friends are the insane ones. but I know this one girl(who I don’t talk to because 1. insane Twilight fane and 2. soccer enimies) but she is so ubsesed you can just see from her facebook an I havnt enen talked to her at all in like a year but ya everything on her profile is twilight she even went all the way to forks in washington and that sounds crazy to me

  69. One: Skinnedd is faairly sickk.
    Lia’s a bitchh. She kindaa deserves what she gets.
    I guess she changes after the operation, though.
    Zo’s a bitch too, but slightly raadd.

    Two: Yeaah, Zane should not have died.
    It hurts my heart waay too much.

    Threee: Unicorns pwn. I’m currently working on a flash animation of Rody Walker riding a unicorn. Hot to trot.

  70. Kayla wa??
    I think you should make your name Kay-wa
    or Kay-la something like that ’cause kayla already sounds -la tastic. Just my opinion though.
    And I want to go to Forks because It sounds pretty….
    back to debate class
    how sad….

  73. Kristina-la: Yeah, I don’t know why I like it better, I just do. Well me and my friends are actually the obsessive ones usually, lol. I don’t think any of us would go that far (although I wouldn’t pass up a trip to Bixby, mostly just so I could go SOMEWHERE), but I do love books waaaaaay too much. And very random, but SOCCER enemies? Kudos to you that you have the coordination to play that game–I know I don’t, lol.

  74. lol ya well i love soccer(and Im defence so it’s easier) and i would so go to bixby in a heart beat
    which sounds just as bad but midnighers is actually a good book
    and doesn’t sounds like a complete loser town(like forks)

  75. GO SOCCER!
    Love soccer. I’m a midfielder.
    I’m defense in hockey.
    Hockey is fun too.
    I’d love to play lacrosse but there’s a shortage of clubs in Australia.
    I’d also love to play Aussie rules (AFL) but there’s a shortage of clubs in my area for 14y/o girls.
    As u can see I love sport.
    Maybe I shoulda just left it at soccer …

  76. I still wouldn’t be able to do it. When I try to dribble a ball, I trip over it. Yeah, I’d much rather go to a town named after a jewlrey company (I saw a necklace with a tag that said BIXBY on it in a store window, and just about freaked out) than one named after a utensil.

  78. lol oh ya and ya soccer rocks
    but it is one of the only sports im really good at
    when it comes to basketball I look like a fool it ALWAYS hit me in the head and I can never get the ball or shoot for that matter
    I do like hockey but only because of my cousin
    has anyone herd of Karl Alzner(ok yes more a Canadien sport but still) 1. he’s is fawesome 2. he gets to play with ovetchki and 3. he’s my cousin (also captain of canadas jr. team last year who won gold!!!!! GO CANADA!!!)

  82. OMG! I totally know what you mean about Gossip Girl! At first i was skeptical about it but then i began watching it and now…. I’M ADDICTED! Hahaha I love Chuck! But I also love Nate! Oh wow, so confusing to decide. But yeah, great show. EVERY MONDAY ON THE CW AT 8 PM (Western time i guess?)! So scandalous. :]

  83. Nice informative post as usual. I’ve just had a baby and haven’t worried about my appearance for almost a year now so it’s refreshing to read a post like this, thank you.

  84. I like to watch Veronica Mars episodes as well Lost. I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
