-Daniel Handler is coming to Utah.
-YES!!!!
-I just about died of surprise when I found out.
-He's never come to Utah before.
-I can't wait.
-Of course, now my pessimistic side is starting to kick in.
-It's a long drive away and a school night.
-My parents will probably say no when I ask them to go.
-But I have to go, because this'll probably be my only chance to meet Handler.
-Argh.
-Why couldn't he come to my obscure town instead of the state capital?

-Snicket89 has spoiled the title of Book the Twelfth for me.
-So I'm in a bad mood.
-I don't know what else to say.
-My mind has gone blank except for that title...running through my head.
-Circling.
-Can it be true?

[Linda Rhaldeen]

-Does Snicket89 really know the title?
-Or is it just a fake?
-What thread does he say the title in?
-I'd better try to avoid that thread.
-I don't want the title spoiled for me.

[Sixteen]

-Don't go to the Countdown thread.
-He's mentioned it several times there.
-He's spoiled it for Gigi too.
-I don't know if it's real.
-But it's from his library.
-I'm sad.

[Linda Rhaldeen]

-Ouch.
-I guess this is that hypothetical question Gigi asked coming to life.
-Do I have the self-control to keep away, or not?
-I guess I'll find out.
-This is going to be a long 4 1/2 days.

[Sixteen]

-That reminds me.
-Don't go to Gigi's hypothetical thread either, because he spoiled it there too!
-I didn't want to know it.
-I hope he's got bad information.
-So then it can be surprising like for everyone else.
-I can only wait.
-*sigh*

-The store that sells books and is nearby is Media Play
-So I'm trying to find TNN to find out if they'll have it on the 18th.
-Or the 19th, actually.
-Because that's the day I'm going to Media Play to buy it.
-But they don't have a book section.
-And it makes me really angry.
-Because I know Media Play has books.
-I've gotten books from there before.
-This is really annoying.
-I don't want to go out to Media Play only to find out they don't have TNN.
-If they don't have it, I want to find out now.
-I decided I hate Media Play's website.
-I wouldn't even bother with it, except I have a gift certificate for Media Play and I want to buy something with it before it expires.
-I'd better go search some more.
-Maybe I'll actually find something this time.
-Come to think of it, I should have done this weeks ago.

[Sixteen]

-All Snicket89's title spoilers have been deleted.
-So you needn't avoid Gloom Looms.
-But I can't delete my memories.

[Antenora]

-Should we trust Snicket89?
-I don't know if I'll even look, but I'm feeling sorely tempted right now.
-I doubt any answers we get about the title now are going to be correct.
-People lie, and get misinformed, and interpret wild guesses, including their own, as truth....
-My school library doesn't know Lemony Snicket exists.
-Nor do they have any Terry Pratchett books, which annoys me.
-But I got a few Discworld books I ordered yesterday, along with the Noisy Outlaws book that has an introduction by Snicket, so I'm fairly happy.
-The library's closed today, and probably tomorrow.
-Today in Photography class, I was tested on safe camera handling.
-I made some mistakes because I was pretty nervous, but I did fairly well.
-Since only a few students take the camera handling test every day, I probably won't have to do anything in that class the next few days.
-And I had a test on Crime and Punishment in Literature class.
-It was one of those where you have a big list of questions, and pick three of them to answer.
-There were three I could write something about(a page or so, double spaced) so I think I did fairly well.

Edit:
-I missed Book 12's title, probably because I was typing this post, or I just wasn't here at the right time.
-If I'm really, really impatient, I might ask someone for the title.

[Linda Rhaldeen]

-Hooray for all the people who don't have to be spoiled!
-I'm really sorry, Sixteen (and Gigi)
-Snicket89 should be banned.
-I'm still having no luck with the Media Play site.

Edit: -Snicket89 just posted his link in the official TNN thread.
-Right after Dante announced that anyone who did that would recieve a strike.
-I feel a bit of guilty pleasure knowing that Snicket89 will get a strike.

[Dante]

-Technically, Snicket89's broken no rules.
-Although it's a rule now.
-However, we'll see how things play out.
-I missed the spoilers too.
-And I've started a thread which is now the only place where I'll allow spoilers.
-Not including TheNamelessNovel.com.
-Gods, I once thought I'd leave if this happened.
-I might still, if spoiling gets rampant.
-I don't want to, but I don't want to be spoiled, either.
-I'm just glad that I'm no longer feeling as bad about my life as I was earlier.
-Earlier, I was pretty down.
-But I recovered.
-And finished that children's game I was playing the other night.
-It glitched right at the end, though.
-Father's found me some old Economics books of his, for if I ever get stuck.
-That was really kind of him.
-He went up into the loft just to get them, and really, we don't go in the loft if it can be avoided.
-It's really dusty, and we have to pull the ladder down and stuff.
-I still have an ominous feeling about tomorrow, though.
-I'm awfully sorry to those of you who got spoiled.
-I just wasn't on at the right time.
-I'll try and do better in future.
-I feel kinda sick.
-I think I need a glass of water.
-This spoiler business is quite worrisome, and I'm easily stressed.

Edit:

-Update: Snicket89 now has a strike, and I'm now spoiled.
-Curiously, I'm not too angry.
-I feel obliged, however, to remain vindictive and hate-filled forever.

[SF]

-I saw the spoiler *sigh*
-I sorta wish I didn't see it, although it makes me wonder if it's true
-I'm working on my longest post
-I started it last night, but had to go to bed as it was midnight and I had school today

[doom]

-300th post!
-It's not really much of an achievement, considering the length I've been registered.
-*chants to self* Posts don't matter, posts don't matter, posts don't matter....
-I'm supposed to call a friend of mine sometime soon.
-I don't want to.
-I don't like using the phone, and I don't even really like my friend.
-I might be having a sleepover at her place Saturday night.
-That's not so bad.
-I haven't seen her since her birthday, so I have presents to give her.
-A cat bracelet, and a panda book.
-I'll have to see if she has internet access now too, since I think she needed it for school.
-If I can e-mail her, I won't have to call her so much.

[Carma]

-During lunch hoour today, someone pulled the fire alarm.
-The teachers don't know who did it.
-I've figured out how to use my school e-mail.
-It's pretty complicated.
-I got my hair cut yesterday.
-My mom's camera came back today from the Kodak people.
-Yay.
-Pictures are on their way.

[Antenora]

-I was spoiled, too, but at least there's now an official spoiler thread.
-Thank you for sorting things out, Dante.
-This spoiler business has angered me a bit, too.
-Right now I'm tired and I feel a bit sick.
-Earlier, I worked on my college application essay, or one of them.
-We're given three question things for application essays, and we're supposed to write a 600-word response for one, and 200-word responses for the others.
-The one I'm working on deals with classes I've taken, mostly.
-It ended up being longer than 200 words, so I'm trying to expand it to 600 words so I can get that part over with.
-This is due next Tuesday, and we'll turn in the later essays sometime that week, and the next.
