2008 has been a fangtastic year! NINTH GRADE SLAYS debuted, EIGHTH GRADE BITES was nominated for a Truman Readers Award, Scholastic Book Fairs not only started selling EIGHTH GRADE BITES, but also came out to film me for an author video, not to mention how many Minions I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and all the other amazing stuff that’s happened to me this year. Oh yeah, 2008 was a goodie, for sure.
But I must say…I’m looking forward to 2009.
We have TENTH GRADE BLEEDS to look forward to, the paperback of NINTH GRADE SLAYS, 24 million of you will see my Scholastic author video, and countless more Minions will be added to the Horde. Not to mention the INCREDIBLE contests I have planned for the new year. And the fangtastic TENTH GRADE BLEEDS launch party.
2009 is looking like a good year.
So, my Minions, what happened in 2008 that you are grateful for? What do you hope will happen in 2009? Auntie Heather doesn’t make resolutions. Do you? What are they?
Happy New Year, Minion Horde!


Soooo…. anyone ready to start life again?
no! haha i can’t believe break is already over!!! but i do want to see my friends again…just not looking foward to all of the work again
For some reason, I am REALLY sad that 2008 is over and it will never be 2008 again…I feel like crying…
2008 was a great year. I got eighth grade bites at a book fair! haha!
2009 should be a good year too. But if anyone has noticed, 2009 is "POOS" backwards…so I don't know…
Anyways, Have a great new year Auntie and Minions!!!

"Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door!"
Chuck norris is friggen ridonculous…..
I’ve been gone to long! like 4 days!
I’ve been baby-sitting my baby twin cousins and hanging out with my aunts and stuff n my grandma…..
The one is Eva she is smaller and the other is Etta she is a year-sized bigger then her and their both almost a year in-a-half loL!
The whole time I was crawling on all fours going to her “Give me kiss! give me hug!” because she wouldn’t on porpuse cause she thought it was funny…..
And then when I was leaving just a this morning -five minute drive back to my house- she started histerical crying because I was leaving and she finaly gave me a kiss and I was like “I love you Etta!” it was soooooo cute…

Aww…. how sweet!
Chuck Norris can believe it’s not butter.
And, so? everyone thought the world was going to end on June six ’06, it didn’t. And thus far I’m doing pretty well back with school.
Um RJ I have no idea what you’re talking about with the whole everybody thought the world was going to end June sixth ’06 thing??????
luv AVL
666
the date, also the number of the beast.
Now you can be a smart alec. Lucky you. XD
A lot of people believe the end of the world will be Dec. 21, 2012.
Me…I don’t put much faith in those kinds of predictions.
They have a whoel website on it…it’s actually pretty funny….or at elast that’[s what i’ve heard
66 the number of the beast…that’s in a song…and is close to my locker number 2-66…only one more 6 and my locker coudl be evil lol
Jess
Oh i see…..I knew that was the beast number….. but didn’t know of the predictions and stuff…
luv AVL
The song ‘Number Of The Beast” or something like that on Guitar Hero 3, yeah.
666 was for biblical reasons, the number of the beast, the beast is the devil, 2012 is over the Mayan calender ending if I’m not mistaken, which is something I’m not going to stake as hard in, I believe the Bible over a long gone civilization, and the Bible never said that the world would end ON 666… annnnnndddd…. I’ve probably said something stupid now :\
