Call For Typos

Hmmm...

Just flicking through the books to remind myself of some details/dates, and I stumbled across a typo. I know there are a few in the books- it's kind of inevitable when the deadlines are this close together- but by the time the new paperback editions are published in April, I want all these typos to be fixed. Which is where YOU come in, my Minions.

I know that most of you have read these books a few times because you're, you know, insane and everything.  Have you noticed the typos? Can you remember where they were? There are a few glaring ones, mistakes that I just should have caught, but for whatever reason I didn't. Care to help?

Mary Hiashi said...

Hey! I'm back again!

...I'm sorry all of my dear American friends...but...but you Americans are kind of...umm...ignorant. Let it be known though that ignorant also means unknowing...But don't think that I don't love you guys any less.

...I'm in a very unhappy, yet reminiscent mood right now. And I'm being very critical. Knight...I think is your name...you're text talk is annoying the heck out of me. I'm at the point where I want to stab someone...Damnit! I forgot my tea again!

Darkane Claw said...

Now that you're on Mary I'm staying.

Mary Hiashi said...

Oh thank god, I thought I'd be by my lonesome.

Mary Hiashi said...

If you find that I'm typing slow, it's because I'm only typing with one hand and holding my tea in the other.

Darkane Claw said...

Can you read my new fan fic? Please?

Mary Hiashi said...

And brother said that he was going to make Toasted Westerns...

Darkane Claw said...

What are Toasted Westerns?

Mary Hiashi said...

I guess so, sure. Uno momento.

Mary Hiashi said...

A toasted western is a sandwich that has toasted bread with eggs, onions, cheese, ham, etc on it.

Darkane Claw said...

Really sorry but my mum is forcing me to go to bed..... NOOOOOOO!!!!!! BYE!!!!!! NIGHT!!!!!! Guess I'll talk to you tomorrow. NIGHT!!!

Wow.
I just realized...I read a whole 203 comments! WOOOOOOO.
How do you do it, Master? How do you look at all those "lols" and smiley faces without breaking the computer? I know I would.
And WHY do people use this as if it is a chat thing? Can't they go on MyBook or FaceSpace or one of those Internet thingamabobs that all crazy youngsters like? I mean...they talk about HAIR.
(My hair's BAD right now, I have lots of blonde regrowth and the rest is straight, shoulder-length black-brown crap)
BUT.
STILL.

I contradict myself all the time, by the way.

Balls are much better for throwing!
:)

Dragona Pine said...

Because throwing people is fun...

Dragona Pine said...

I prefer to throw people than balls...

Pandora said...

I see.
Lol

Well, I hope you don't throw me.

Dragona Pine said...

I only do it to those who annoy me... people try and floor me at school... I think it's because I'm 6ft 3 and a half... they think they'll be cool but they underestimate me... they get thrown :D

RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRR

So hungry

Lunar Tears said...

So you're Brad Pitt? That don't impress me much

Dragona Pine said...

I am back people!

Dragona Pine said...

Lol Kallista...

Lunar Tears said...

Looking up funny lyrics... found a funny one from elvis and shakira

Dragona Pine said...

Hmm... I'm awfully tired... another dream about the future and a memory attack in french... got me a detention because I have the same teacher but I don't mind...

Dragona Pine said...

Already read it Kallista...

Dragona Pine said...

I swear something dodgeys happening to me... 3 dreams about the future and 2 memory attacks in a row... good job they were only small ones...

Dragona Pine said...

Yeh... but no one knows about the things I have...

Dragona Pine said...

Brb...

Lunar Tears said...

What's a memory attack?

*imagines a figment of Dragona's mind attacking him as he tries to defend, but it's not real so his defences are pointless*

Interesting

Lunar Tears said...

cake

Lunar Tears said...

so i learn to cook and get over my kitchen phobia

Lunar Tears said...

Thinking about cake

New payment method in school, but I only really buy cake

But I didn't get cake today

It was chocolate cake

regretting it

Lunar Tears said...

No...
It's a lyric from a shakira song

Dragona Pine said...

Back...

Lunar Tears said...

He said his hair was 4 inches long

I measured how long that was and am amazed

Dragona Pine said...

I went to get my PE kit ready... but my hairs still spikey, yey!


A memory attack happens when you have a photographic memory... it's hard to expalin but it shows your past really quickly and in my case makes me really tired and a headache... with Flo's case maybe a Coma or KO...

Dragona Pine said...

I would go audition for Fletcher... but I'm too tall and I'm not blonde... and I'm not annoying...

Lunar Tears said...

watching a kid try to attract a 30 year old woman

its weird

Dragona Pine said...

Because they won't believe me... I KNOW they won't believe me... and my friends won't believe me either... it would just practically ruin my life... I'm happy as I am...
