I have a party to plan, so there will be no FAF this week. But there will be more blogging very soon.

Happy New Year’s, all.

  8. Oh, I’m so confused. First my computer said it was 3 seconds long, then 2 minutes and 52 seconds, and then 17 seconds. So barking confused! Dumb Clanker contraptions.

  11. That was funney…WAIT A MINUTE SCOTT-LA YOUR TRYING TO DISTRACT US FROM THE FACT THAT YOU SKIPED FAF WITH FUMNY VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O :O :O :O. XD XD XD XD XD:O :O

  18. Wait Aiyana you said Scott-la which book do you like the most in the uglies series? Mine is Specials I have only read it 4 times……what about the rest of y’all? Which is your favorite?:)

  31. Hahahaha
    That was oddly entertaining….
    `Put some gears on it and call it Steampunk`
    so true…

    I wasn`t expecting any entries until after the new year, so I haven`t been checking for new blog posts very often lately. Glad I checked today though.

  38. @ 32- HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes. Yes it does.
    “They say all’s fair in love and war. But I don’t need to fight it….. ( something something) * trumpet solo! *

  39. @ 34- okay SO WHAT IS UP WITH NEWKIRK LIKING EVERY BARKING WOMAN WHO COMES ON THE LEVIATHAN????????? Haven’t I told you about RAKIRK???????? Or have you simply not been listening????????

  40. Is it just me, or does everyone else notice that the quartet in the picture frame are wearing bowler hats?

  45. @42- Thank you. I read uglies last night (I ended up staying up till 4) and I thought that it was okay. I don’t really like many dystiopian books.

  47. @45- i stayed up till 4 too,that’s weird!!! But keep reading!!it will get better!!! Trust me one Scott-la fan to another!!

  49. I have found that somewhere in most dystopian novels someone always ends up alone in some wilderness. That’s the part i don’t like. I like the plots and the whole dystiopian world I just don’t find the details too fascinating.

  59. I am very confused right now. I have read both LBG and uglies and now, as is the nature of Mr. Westerfeld’s (I now refuse to call him “Scott-la” now that I know what it means) I have the characters from both swimming in my subconscious! I am not really thinking about them but I can always feel they’re presence, kind of like a hiding cat, ya know? And the worst part is, is that I want to know what happens to them (I have only read uglies) but I am to lazy to read them. Could somebody please tell me what happens?

  60. @ Levi- ha! I know exactly what you mean! Alek and Deryn are always in my head, usually cracking jokes on what happens in my life. It’s really weird, but funny. Like sometimes I ask myself “WWDSD?” As in What Would Deryn Sharp Do?

  70. @ 69- I love it when people get excited over books! I’m not the only one! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  73. Now I know I’m not alone

  75. @71- I have to say i have never really had that problem. When I started being a book dorky (2nd grade) I was homeschooled and then in 4th grade I was in a program for the academicly talented and therefor everyone there was a book dorky. So in a way, LUCKY ME!

  76. @ 75- GET YOUR BUM IVER TO FAF AND JOKN OUR FAN MEETING! Wow. That would be boring. The cool thing about being book dorky is that there are very few people are like that, so you are considered eccentric, or of being unique. In school, I like to be the one that always reccomends the books to kids, and who is the only person who laughs while I read. I like to stand out, to be different. In a good way, though.

  87. Uhmmmmm….. nein, danke. That was a really funny video. My dad has a bunch of those 78 rpm records and vacuum tubes!!!!!

  88. Great way to start off the new year!
    Alek: Our world is totally steampunk!
    Deryn: Yaaaaaa you’re doing it wrong…our world is totally Darwinist!
    Lilit: STFU!

  89. I’m going to “Glue some gears” on everything from now on. Hey, Rachel and Levi, we should have an established meeting place for our Fan Club meetings and chats, so as to avoid confusion as to where we meet, as with above. No one should be left out, If you know what I mean.
    I vote we stay on the FAFs, and maybe move it to each new FAF when they get posted so we don’t have to scroll down forever to get to it?

  94. Steeeeeeeeeempunk. haha.
    So will someone please tell me what scott-la means?? I have always wondered…

  95. @ 89- that sounds great!
    @ 84- okay, stop it. If you aren’t here to talk about books, don’t post.

  98. That’s funny. I don’t just adding gears makes it Steampunk. Proper planning has to go in it, doesn’t it? I would think so. It may work for some things: like a white blouse or a copper/gold waist belt, but…

  102. @ 101- M@X! So good to have you back! If you like this, check out Istanbul not Constantinople by the Four Lads. It’s not a rap, like this song, but it is AWESOME! This steampunk song reminded me of it.

  105. @ 103- Yes, yes you may! It is the Alek- Singe Fan Club. The first thing you must do to decide of you are Team Alek or Singe.

  106. @ 103- the meetings are usually towards night time, when we’re all available to chat over books and stuff, and the assigned meeting place will be at each FAF. If a new FAF is posted, we will move our meetings there.

  107. @ 103- and the second thing you must do in the enrollment ritual is to make up your crossdresser name. Take my name, Ronnie for example.

  108. Since my name can be used for a boy or a girl, it is staying the same. I am on team Alek. Sorry, I just like him more.

  109. @ 108- uh-huh, you’re just JEALOUS THAT NEWKIRK IS AWESOME! And sorry, it has to be a full name. Maxine will have to do.

  110. @ 106- wait. That will mean we have our meetings only once a week. Hmm. How about kn the newest, recent post? Does everyone agree with that?

  112. How about Max, as in Maximum ride. I can’t help it if my name is pike that and since i’m on an ipod i don’t like having to fill in a long user name. Just listened to the song, and it is pretty good. I like that Alek can pilot a walker and, more impirtantly, fence. I’ve been away from wifi for a while, which is why i haven’t posted

  114. GO HARRY POTTER, sort of, kind of. More inportantly, GO LEVIATHAN AND BEHEMOTH AND GOLIATH AND ALEK AND DERYN AND DALEK AND NEWKIRK AND DOCTOR BARLOW AND VOLGER AND KLOPP AND BAUER AND HOFFMAN AND MR. RIGBY AND BOVRIL AND EVERYONE ELSE, except all super nosy reporters that are giant idiots who have there life saved by somone but refuse to keep secret a scoop, yes I’m referring to you Eddie Malone!!!!!!!!

  116. @ 112- I hate it when I have no wifi! It irritates he barking daylight’s out of me!

  119. @116 Me too.

    @117 Yah, she was bad, but she didn’t have a life debt to Alek that she refused to pay, and that is just down right ungratefull, stinking (calming breath) you get the point. Please do not get me back on that subject.

  121. I cann’t say all reporters are soul less because my mom writes articles for magazines, which is almost the same, except without adding a lot of lies and exaggerations and with no spying involved. Only good, clean interviews.

  122. @ 121- your mom has the coolest job ever.
    @ 118- no, I haven’t. And never will.

  123. Fine, don’t watch it.

    Actually, I think being a biomedical engineer would be more fun, but yes, my mom’s job is pretty cool. Unfortunatley, she hasn’t had a lot of time for it ever since my sister was born and she had to take care of at least on of us. She’s gotten a lot more time to do it since my sister turned ten a few years ago, but in ten years, a lot has changed. One example is that facebook is now the main way free lancers, like her, get a job. Also, microsoft has changed and she still hasn’t gotten used to it. So she has a part time job helping with a preschool in our town.

  125. I’m sorry. My sister just turned twelve a few days ago.
    I’m the only person on the entire barking planet who doesn’t want to, or never will see Harry Potter!

  127. I think HP is good, but I can think of other books, most importantly LBG, that deserve the fame far more. I couldn’t say that in front of my friend who is also called Racheal, but with an “a” after the “e”, because she and her older sister would send out a bus window while I was asleep on a Scholastic bowl trip.

    I am not getting into it with you about the kindle because I have found that almost every reader is extremely stubborn, but I prefer a good old E ink Nook.

  128. Okay, so what would they send out a bus window? And RachEl is spelled the right way.

    Yes, yes I am stubborn.

    But only when it comes to books, and key lime pie.

  129. Sorry, but I have to sign out now. Good- bye, and I’ll be on Monday probably. I’m going to my wifi-less grandparent’s house for tomorrow and Monday morning.

  130. 1) They would send me out the window.
    2) Don’t say that to my friend Racheal.
    3) So am I.
    Bye for real.

  134. Sorry. I’ll go now. Good bye, everyone! Most likely, I’ll be back tommorrow night!

  136. @132 If they couldn’t get me out the window they would use the back door!

    @133 I was actually talking about being stuborn, but (imagine me in a top hat, petticoat and with a monocle) I do enjoy key line pie.

    @135 savor every moment of that book.

    Night everyone and Happy New years an hour and forty five minutes ago in the states central time zone!

  138. @ 136- you haven’t tried key lime pie unless it’s from the Florida Keys.

  140. No, it will not end this year just because the Aztec calendar ends.

    Unfortunatley, I have mever gotten to try Florida cuisine. (Sorry if I misspelled that)

  142. Key Lime Pie covered in chocolate on a stick.
    Just the name sounds dreamy.

  143. Good bye, everyone! I’ll be back tonight! Hopefully…..
    I will be trying to finish my fanfiction, so maybe I can post it here when I’m done.

  149. @110. Rachel, we can have more than one meeting per blog post, you realize. Technically, we’ve already had several on last week’s FAF.
    @Everyone. Hi. Sup?

  151. Wait. Levi, what did you say your glogster account was? I tried ruthgirl2, and it didn’t find anything… I’m melssarox. Notice how there are no capital letters and no “i” in “melssa”

  154. @ 139: I don’t necessarily believe the world is going to end this year; I just like poking fun at the people who do! I DO however believe SOMETHING will happen later this year, but that something will be totally within our (humankind’s) control. Most likely nothing will happen but everybody will go crazy with fear and MAKE something happen. This scenario has occurred before. Everybody’s going to stock up on water and food and ammo and tampons and then nothing will NATURALLY happen but people will go out of their minds with fear. And when nothing happens, people will discredit every prediction anybody subsequently makes, the predictions that probably WILL come true. It’s the boy who cried wolf scenario; when all people hear is lies, they don’t believe the truth.

    “Another a high school girl with a bourgeois dream, just like the pictures in the magazine that she found on the floor of the laundromat, but a woman with kids can forget all that. And if she comes up pregnant what’ll she do? Forget the career, forget about school. Can she live on faith? Live on hope? High on Jesus and hooked on dope. When it’s way too late to ‘just say no’, you can’t make it here anymore” – James McMurtry

  156. Yeah! Go team Iowa!!!

    Monkey ludates be gone. Monkey ludates= people who think the world will end this year. Goliath WILL live for at least fifty years, most likely longer. It will not die after a year and a quarter-ish.

  158. @ 196- You have forgotten one important detail….. NEWKIRK IS A BARKING MONKEY LUDDITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  160. I showed my mom, who believes steampunk is just a fad and it is nothing to get obsessed about, this video and she started cracking up!!!!
    THANK YOU FOR SHOWING MY MOM THE AWESOMENESS OF STEAMPUNK!!!!!!!

  163. Ever notice how nobody in the uglies books besides extras nobody has last name but Tally-wa?

  181. @176. Well, it’s true. I missed him threatening to send panda armies against everyone, along with my kraken army.
    @179. I’m the one that came up with Jocelyn, by the way. Just to let you know…

  184. @183. AHAHAHAHA! I really don’t think I know a guy who would’ve done that! Hhmm… maybe if I get Colby to finish the barking book he’d get on here sometime. COLBY YOU MAKE ME SO FLUSTRATED!!! I’ve been trying to get him to finish Leviathan for, like, a month now. grrrr…

  187. Colby is a dude from school. And he STILL hasn’t read it. I talked to him today. My brother is the one who got me to read Leviathan in the first place. (he told me I needed to tell you that.)

  188. @ 187- I have a wee bit more respect for your brother now. Not much, but some. You can quote me on that.
