Brr and Grr and a Spontaneous Mini-Contest!
It's COLD today. Like -16 with the wind chill factor. Brrrr! So you can bet that Auntie Heather will be snuggling up under her evil Hello Kitty blankie today and wearing some of her fuzzy groovy neato socks to stay warm. And of course, repeatedly grumbling about how cold it is. Brr and Grr, Minions. Brr and Grr.
In other news, I'm amazed at how many situations you Minions suggested in the last blog comments (both on Bleeding Ink and MySpace) that were right on track. I won't say which or how many, but a few were dead-on accurate as things that will come along in this series...which makes me wonder if my Minions are staring over my shoulder as I write. It also makes me feel like maybe I really do understand what my readers want, so that's pretty cool.
And dude! Less than a week until the paperback of NINTH GRADE SLAYS debuts! In honor of that...
I have a secret. Come closer. No, closer. Okay, guess what? I have a new hoodie. Actually, I have a few. They're zip-up hoodies. Black. On the front, left side in red is Vlad's Mark. On the back is the vampire smiley, surrounded by "Proud Member of the Minion Horde", all in red. My camera is broken, or I'd show you a pic. But trust me...it's awesome. What's that? You want one? Okay! I'll even give you an advanced copy of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS! But you've gotta leave a comment to enter, okay? I'll randomly pick the winner on January 22nd.
And no...you can't buy one of these either. ;)

Contest Comment Blog! New design sounds awesome!
Awesome Auntie Heather, thats soooo ridonculous!
luv AVL
Vlad Vlad Vlad Vlad, I forgot to say that I'ms allowed to get my bangs cut! and its a design I did! I can't wait to get them cut because I cut them a few months ago and their all crooked and uneven and thin and nasty, YUK! And I am gonna get them cut before a go over my friend's house so it won't be too long.
By the way does anyone know a website where I can design the bangs on a digital thing? Because I can't draw them the way I want to show the person to cut them, so I was going to design them online and print it out.
Thanks!
luv AVL
That is super, tottally, awesome and brightens my three-test one-speech day!
Woo! I am now so happy!
Jess
oh my gosh!! the new hoodies sound so amazing and cool!! haha i agree Jess, this makes my day so much better!!!!!!!! :)= yay! oooh and Vlad in paperbook in less than a week!! yay again :)=
-Julz
That's awesome!
I can't wait for Tenth Grade Bleeds to come out.
Ooh, sounds like an awesome new hoodie :D
It's not very cold where I am =/ I've been walking around in t-shirts and barefoot... x_X I wish we would get some snow already!
I have GOT to win this one.
Angel is ungodly cold and moved into her new house. I don't have internet YET (i'm in school now...haha)
It is REALLY cold here too, you know. I have no heat in my truck and a twenty minute drive.
That hoodie would make Angel a happy warm girl. =)
~Angel
I sincerely hope, for your sake, that that is not a self portrait. :)
Summer
Who lives in Alaska, where it is a mysterious 42 degrees today. What the heck? I'm not complaining, but it seems wrong for me to be warmer than you!
Srry, i live in NJ and it snowed...now it's melting...i can't win.
The hoodie sounds mad kewl!
Jess
Wow, 42 eh? That seems very odd, it's cold up here too, not AS cold (whoa what?) but still freeze-your-face-hands-and-butt-off weather. And bright.
This is me entering liek, rly.
The new hoodie sounds amazing. I hope I win it. The fact that it matches my school dress code is awesome. >:]
i live by chicago and its very cold lol i dont have school today yay! but i want school 2morrow
my brother said vlad likes tater tots randomly
I've been grumbling about how cold it is lately, too. Particularly after the last gas bill. Nooo I am turning into the mom from FoxTrot! "Just put on a sweater or three, but no turning the heat up!"
Ooh, perfect timing! I'm in the middle of Ninth Grade Slays (which I must finish before my son gets out of school and steals it from me like he tried to do yesterday). Consider me entered!
0_0 Wow that's just kewlio XD
Great thinkin Auntie...and at the right time too
The hoodie sounds awesome!!! It is cold here perfect weather for curling up with a good book!
omg aunite heather i want a hoodie so badd im in ny and its soooo cold like its gonna be -8 on friday no joke. and it just snowed again today haha i dont like jackets so im stuck with one sweatshirt cause sweatshirts are really expensive $$$ DX
~Denice [denise]
Thanks for the contest! The hoodie sounds cool.

have a fangtastic dayyy[:
[psst i hope it gets warmer. and did you hear about the plane that engine exploded cas a goose got sucked in?]
N...n...not to buy!?!?!? Awww, but you have to! My luck is horrible! T_T *sigh* Oh Well. *crosses fingers*
Anyway, Auntie. It's been Brr here too and I'm way down south. Maybe not as cold as where you are but there's actually a chance of snow. If so that would be the second time in less than a year and the last snow was 4 years ago, and before that 15 years. And to us down here snow is magical~ Oh! And I've chatted with people from up north and I'm surprised that they've never heard of gumbo or crawfish! Auntie, if you ever come to Louisiana you gotta try the food. Gumbo, Jambalaya, crawfish, you can't get food like that anywehere else. (Well, you could, but it wouldn't be as good.) >_>
My son would LOVE a hoodie -- he's soon to be ten and sucking up your books. So please enter my name in the drawing. Thanks.
I cannot pass up the chance to be the envy of all my middle school students...enter me, too, please!
I want an advanced copy of TGB, Auntie! And of course who would want a new hoodie.
:)=
Am leaving a comment ;-)
Have a lovely day! :-)
i dont know if this counts, but i want one. if this doesn't count, oh well. ;)
i want one soooo badly! i live here in texas and tomorrow it is gonna be like eighty degrees and it sucks. :(
i used to live in massachusetts and right now it is fifty below there and i miss the cold.
i want a sweatshirt to remember what we did when it was cold. pleeeaaase?
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) ;)

Lol, wow! xD;
I'd expect MA to be much colder, being near the ocean an all :O
But ice on ur arms?!
Never experienced that! o__o''

Falalalalala.
Sorry, had nothing to do.
&&, AVL when you say razor hair do you mean like Hayley Williams kind of hair? (Hayley from Paramore.)

P.S GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU MINIONS!
Too many comments. x.x
And I only checked the site today. Pooie. Oh well.
Anywho, it's warm over here. Like 50.
We had that cold front a few weeks ago.
Well, I have a writers block. again. pooie. :( I needed ideas for my story...but...rawr!
I already finished the first book. It really sucks and I've only put the really really rough drafts on the web. They need major revisions.
You can check them out on my livejournal. The link to my livejournal is: http://aikoyamashina.livejournal.com/
Then go to the left side, underneath the profile picture and a link labeled "The Little Dark King." Click on it, then scroll down to the forum topics and whamoo. :3
I want to get a Vladimir Tod Hoodie and A copy of Tenth Grade Bleeds tell me how.:)
Yay for spontaneous contest, so much better then spontaneous combustion. Well, unless my Algebra book spontaneously combusted without hurting anything else that would be pretty sweet! So yah, I sitting in the comfy yellow chair in my seminar room, on a spiffy laptop, and I am supposed to be studying for my exams, only I don’t have any! Yay for fun classes like choir, and AP English (every one says its hard but is not, odd). So anywhosen, I was thinking I should go to Heather Brewer’s site and play around there for a little while until I ‘m awake enough to be serious (less of a Marilyn, more of a Jackie {Legally Blonde the musical reference!} and take a nap, or read my copy of Ninth Grade Slays. The one I found autographed in the three dollar at a book store before I rescued it! Wow, how did my spontaneous contest entry turn into a rant….odd, oh well! Yay for reading, and its colder where I live! Its been -25 lately, but today its 16 (it’s a heat wave!)
From,
lunaphantom
Omg omg omg tomorrow's the day! X3!
