I know the last word is scar, but my friend told me that Jo had posted the last line. She said it was "Harry, what happened to your scar?" and that it was said by Hermione. I don't know if this is true, but if it is could you please tell me where to find where Jo said this? Thanks!

I just came across this line from Murder of a Botoxed Blonde and laughed out loud- "Men only have two emotions- hungry and horny. If you see one without an erection, make him a sandwich." What line made you laugh out loud?

It all started with her name. We were sitting in sixth grade homeroom, all nervously scoping each other out, seeing who was pretty, who had a uni-brow, how many pimples the few people you knew from your elementary school had accumulated over the summer. Waiting for someone to comment on the skirt we all knew was too short, and didn’t have the legs to wear it, someone to drop the back of an earring so the pressure would be off us while she scrambled under the desks, finally found her tiny silver clasp and stuck it in the back of her ear, behind her veil of hair, newly straightened for the first time. They put us in rows by the alphabet; I was nervously looking around me, doubting that some of the kids in the class could recite the entire thing, and I knew where my seat would be. Even though I hardly knew anyone, I knew that I would be in front of this girl named Chelsea; we’d gone to elementary school together, she’d been the most popular girl in the fifth grade. We’d never been close friends, but once, at recess, she asked me if I would play hide and seek with them. I’d been so happy I didn’t check for risks; I was the shyest girl in our grade, hiding behind the bangs that I only decided to grow out freshman year in high school. They’d left me hiding under the little alcove that the tire and wood playground had. Everyone knew where it was; it was only afterwards that I figured this out and realized that Chelsea’s excuse was that I was a really good hider and should be proud. I also realized later what it meant when girls walked away, tittering and speaking behind cupped palms.
That day in homeroom, which is, a ridiculously pointless waste of ten minutes in the morning, and until you get to high school, another ten in the afternoon, we were getting put into alphabetical order. I got stuck in between Chelsea and this boy, I think his name was Tommy, who wore these coke bottle glasses; really, they looked like his parents couldn’t afford real glasses, and just cut off the bottom of glass bottles and stuck a piece of wire around them. But, I have a feeling that he had a lot of money; if I ever get the chance, I’ll find my sixth grade yearbook from the box of all the things I have to remember, find out what his last name was, and look him up. Chances are that now, he’s a stud, has an earring, and is married to some Belgian model. But Tommy has no point in this, other than one incidence at lunch, and even at that, it’s stretching his noble purpose in our lives. Oh, and for the hell of it, to my left was this kid named Tristan. He was in the popular group, but he always farted in class, and even if it wasn’t him, he did it enough so that you could blame it on him if you ever needed to. Tristan…well, he’s not important in this, other than the fact that I’m sure that I blamed something on him at one point in sixth grade. After we were settled, the front of the alphabet, we settled for staring at the kids who hadn’t gotten put into desks yet, and deciding who would be our sixth grade popular group. A girl with pretty blonde hair, curling in subtle waves over and over itself was called next, Hilary, with only one “L”. After a week of hearing this, we got sick of her, even if her hair was excellent.
The last person to be called was a shy looking girl, her face partially obscured by her massive side bang, the rest of her almost thigh length hair secured in a long braid, tied with a thin leather cord with a little silver star attached to the end of it. She looked afraid to be standing up there by herself, but she had to have known it was coming. After a kid with the last name Yoraz had just been called, there’s not much room for another kid to squeak in after her. But the teacher looked down at her paper once, opened her mouth, then, surprised, took a second glance down at the roster. Her eyes flitted to the girl, still standing at the front of the room, in her khaki capris and crimson cotton shirt, embroidered with blue hyacinths, some kind of flower, but that sounds right. So the teacher looked up at her, and, with the most American accent that I’ve ever heard, “Sackery Zeenay”. By this time, we were all staring at her, I could hear Chelsea’s snickers from in front of me, and with dignity that I hadn’t though a sixth grader could possess, she stared our teacher in the eye- it was at this point that I realized that her eyes were denim blue, something that wouldn’t have been as surprising if her skin wasn’t it’s shade of golden brown. She said, speaking slowly and with a slight accent that I wouldn’t be able to place for three years, “It’s Suh-kah-ree Zeh-nah.” She repeated it again, faster. With a withering look from the teacher and a slightly audible gasp from the class, she sat down in the last seat, her last interruption for the day. Many days, actually. But almost three years later, I would approach her, and tell her that I remembered that day. The reason that I wanted to talk to her- that night, when I was supposed to be working on my math homework, I said her name. The syllables rolled off my tongue, it’s cinnamon taste lingered on my tongue, turning our dinner of chicken, string beans, and mashed potatoes red and sweet.

Just for the record, I think HP is not targeted at a certain group age and it can be enjoyed by everyone with equal interest.

I love comedy, and have loads of comedy videos/dvds. I would, however, like to combine my two loves of Reading and Comedy.

I just have a problem finding good humorous books. To guide you as to what I enjoy, my most recent "humor" books I've bought have been:


Mary Roach's "Stiff" and "Spook", in which she takes nonfiction and presents it in a humorous vein,

Bill Maher's "New Rules",

and,
one of Chuck Klosterman's, the exact title of which I cannot recall at the moment.

Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks to all!

I bought a cool purple notebook and I don't know what to write. Can you help me please. Keep in mind that I have a younger sister who might find it and show it to all her friends.
I have thought about writing stories or poems or even making a scrapbook but I can't think of anything to put. When I get a notebook and try to think of something to write, my brain always goes out of gear. HELP!

I really don't think JK will kill Harry (she'd be getting death threats for the rest of her pampered life!), but I'm worried that Ron or Hermione will die. Any ideas on what to expect with the last novel???

I have a comleted text book.

I need to send it to a desktop publisher to handle the final layout, add in pictures and so on.

Roughly how long would it take. Each page has a fair amount of formatting for exercises and the book is 100 pages long.

I am 16 and i love to write. But i want to know if i could possibly get a book published at this age. And is there a way to check if the idea for my book has already been taken? Also will i be taken seriously? I don't write for little kids or young adults. My writing is more mature and more for people who are older. My ideas mostly deal with problems kids don't have, such as death, violence, and war. And lastly, if it is published, how do i get people to read it?

The book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer looks very interesting to me, but I'm a boy and I heard it had romance in it. I can tolerate a little romance but not very much. I know it has adventure in it but is there more romance than action? Are there any boys who have read it and liked it?

MY HEART KNOWS

My heart knows
emotional hollows . . .

. . . hears echos as she goes . . .
. . . and she goes . . .

intravenously
through liquid canyons
saying
ping
ping
ping . . .

Like sonar
on a submarine

She is poised
and listening . . .

For depth charges

Torpedoes

Eerie whistling

Just before
They all come visiting.

My heart knows everything
of the slim possibilities

Obese unpredictabilities
of love.

Hollows aren't nests.

But my heart's readiment
makes up the rest.
