Confused 101.

It's amazing what you can find scribbled inside bathroom stalls. For one, unless you're at school, why do you happen to have a permanent marker with you in the first place?

Perhaps there's something therapeutic I can't really wrap my head around that writing something on there can do. Maybe it's the combination of privacy and knowing that others will read it, yet never know your identity as the one who wrote it. I have no idea.

I wish I had the guts to be so...brazen. (New vocabulary word this week.) But, I don't think "I feel slightly confused and jealous all at once because I don't understand why what I saw happen in the hallway would make me feel this gaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh" would all legibly fit on there.

...Especially since someone's artistic rendering of Mr. Pruitt is taking up so much space already.

Ugh.

In other news, is kayaking cool and would they know that in Missouri?

I think this about what happened with Fang and TRHW in the hallway!

Stupid red!

OK, Max, a bit of advice-
QUIT IT WITH THE FLIPPIN QUESTIONABLE ROMANCE.
HOOK UP WITH FANG.

It would make your book 10 times better. Because, right now, you two are the most obvious questionable hookup. And it won't make your story any better.

Anonymous said...

Well, instead of writing something so long, just write, "Damn, my life sucks." ^_^ It's much better.

BTW: Can I have some of that ice cream? *Licks lips*

hey i thought that there was a certain someone named oh i don't know MAX who kissed Fang why shouldn't she be able to make out with him or even more.

Anonymous said...

aww thats sad :(

Max said...

Okay Max right now to me you don't make sence.At all.And you + Fang are like this boy I unfortunatly know.AUSTIN BOLLINGER. He is such a cf ( control freak) (no affence or anything but..)thats why we being my friends and I call him CFA. (CONTROL FREAK AUSTIN) What I mean is that you two need to stop telling and start asking and not, NOT going for the obvius to as what is going to happen when everyone knows it is anyway.And I'm not saying that you two are ... exactly but really talk about stuff instead of just waiting for it to happen and then start controlling and say stuff that might not make sence to people.
And if you six... or ... seven need advice I can help out. And I'm not talking about love advice crap but like way of talking way ahead of time and being prepared.

Alright, here are your steps.

1. Go find Erasers.
2. Go kick some mega eraser butt.
3. ...Kick some more Eraser butt.
4. Kick some sense into Fang.
5. And while you're at it, kick some more sense into that boy.
6. Yes, ice cream. Just EAT! EAT LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW!
7. Take out a book and read. I know this really good book by James Patt--oh....wait...

LOL

No, but seriously, bottling up anger isn't healthy. I know, I know. It's hard. Especially when you've got the whole world counting on you (literally, in your case).

And while your at it, fly up to Hershey Park, Pennsylvania and get some free chocolate. Low priced Chocolate always hits the spot.

Don't worry. You'll make it through this.

I don't think kayaking is too cool, but the only river-riding experience is going down a river in Missouri with my family on many different canoes.

But kayaking does look fun!

I think Max, that you should get ya vivid out and start doodling. Draw a nice picture in the toilets, add to the picture of Mr Pruitt, go wild babe. Your only young once. And there is this incredible rushthat goes through your body when your doing something bad .... just rememeber ... DONT GET CAUGHT.

Lily said...

S'Okay, Max, I realize that this is mucho confusing. I never really figured what was so completely awesome about writing your phone number or school gossip in the bathroom stalls, although sometimes it is the news station. Besides, you don't need the prep-school barbies and male models to help you get through this, you've got the flock, and you've got an eraser free point here, but kicking major butt is always a great way to let things out. Do you even read these? YES kayaking is awesome, and they would know that in Missouri.

max U need to be the one kissing Fang in teh hallway. not that stupid lissa girl!!!

u guys better get together in the third and fourth book.

Max, you must accept that Fang, half-bird and all, is still half human boy. If they can see, they'll look, even if they love someone elsr more. It's a guy thing.

Anonymous said...

max, c'mon, that would tork me off too. I mean, c'mon, seeing somegirl kiss my adopted brother because my parents are on some mission trip in africa would, you know, make me feel a tad insecure as well. Plus, I happed to know why people grafiti in the bathroom. Now one is gonnna know who you are, but whoever reads should understand. I write in stalls all the time. Sometimes (cuz i'm SUCH a funny person) I say that "WRITING IN A BATHROOM STALL IS FOR LOSE... OH....OOPS!" and every time one of my friends comes outa the stall, they're laughtering it up! But if they knew it was me, they'd be all "I don't get it"

P.S. Kaykaing is okay. Not a great conversation starter, though, if ya don't know crack about it. Same thing with sailing. Just, stick to land stuff. Got it?

P.P.S I don't make those smily things. They're kinda weird.

Anonymous said...

Max, u should totally take revenge on Fang and go out w/some guy. That'll show him (insert evil laughter here).

I STILL go with the whole bull/rodeo plan :)

don't know what he sees in her...

maybe he's being brainwashed or something O.o MAYBE

Call 911, Fang needs help (no offense)

You should be GOOD friends with Sam

Wow! I was scared you had been caught or something and wasn't posting... In other news, at my school, if people write on the stalls, they close that bathroom and you have to go all the way to the other building just to go. Not a very good thing...
Tell the flock I said Hi and to hang in there! (Especially Iggy. :D)

Max, really it's way to obvious that you and fand need to get together. don't worry we all hate lissa.now about the whole kayaking thing try white water rafting. soooooo much more fun. not that i've ever tried kayaking, but i have white water rafted before. can't wait for the third book.

I've never kayaked myself but I heard that it's really cool and I really want to do it someday. And I'm pretty sure they would know about it in Missouri. Don't you worry, Max.

P.S. What DID happen with Fang?

Oh God, people! You DO know that this is fiction and everything?
Yeah, sure it is a great book and I can't wait for the next one, but seriously! Don't get me wrong, it's cool that you can comment on this blog (which is cool), but some people just take the Mickey, obsessing over Max and Fang. Not all, mind.

Anyway, sorry for ranting, it just had to be said.

Max, besides what everyone says, sometimes it's good to just have a few guy friends, not boyfriends. I have quite a few, and it really makes you understand just how clueless guys really are. And besides, they can be fun!!

Max, I think you need to learn a little of ~Shift~'s Biology/Chemistry 101:

After about the age of 14, all muscle control and thought process leaves the brain and takes up residence in another area... THE STOMACHE! Guys will do anything for food at that age, even put up with the insanity of the opposite gender.
In addition, all reasoning skills go a little farther south...

(Sorry for any disturbing images that may have sprung up... wait that's not good... been aroused?... thats even worse!... Uh... you may have thought of?.. That works!
Eh-Hem!... Sorry for any disturbing images you may have thought of, but I take no responcability for what is in you mind nor can I claim responcability for any or all spelling and grammatical errors :P)

i hope you and fang get together...

Anonymous said...

1. having a perminant marker, to label your stuff? maybe. but others just carry it around just to have it.
2. the reason why some people do it is to in their own little sad way "stick it to the man" the man being the gov't.....or whoever is in charge of where ever the public bathroom is.
3. brazen? what does that mean? :P
4. it might not fit in THAT stall...find another one to write it on...oh! you should take a picture of that drawing and post it on here!
5.
one time i was in a restaurant in north carolina while i was visiting family and their bathroom stalls were chalkbords and when you went inside, there was a bunch of chalk on a little shelf. it was really cool.
anyway. don't feel too bad about what you saw in the hallway. everything will work out....or as my g'ma says "it will all come out in the wash"
so until the next post

Lamentations said...

Hehe relax, max. Fang likes you. Its just that age where he likes every single girl, that's all.

Anonymous said...

Max, you should have gotten together with Fang when you had the chance. Personally, I think you should go out with some other guy, make him like you, and kiss him when you know that Fang is watching. He would be so jealous! Then, he might want to get with you, but if you actually like the guy that you kiss, then stay with him and then Fang will know how you felt.

Anonymous said...

Don't worry, Max! You'll end up with Fang eventually... I can tell he likes you. He'll get over red-head-what's-her-name-I-don't-think-it-really-matters sooner or later.

Just kiss him already!

P.S. I'm pretty sure people know about kayaking in Missouri. Yeah, it's cool... but it depends on your opinion (I'm sure some people like it, but I don't know...)

You should see the graffitti at my school. It's an art school, so they visual art majors can draw REALLY REALLY good, and carry paint and etc. with them. The bathroom stalls are very entertaining. They are like a museum.

Meanwhile, here is a 12 step plan for you to feel better:
1) ADMIT IT.
2) If you have no idea what i mean by "ADMIT IT" then you need to spend a really long time thinking about a certain flock member.
3) If you do know what I'm talking about, then TELL HIM.
4) If you still don't kno what I'm talking about after step two, ask the Voice.
5) If you know what I want to TELL HIM, then strangle a nice long response out of him, perferabley in full sentences.
6) If you have more than one guyt friend who doesn't use full sentences, then you need some new friends.
7) If the answer is positive then... yeah.
8) If the answer is negative, kick him in the balls for me.
9) Go eat some ice cream.
10) Have a nice life.
11) and 12) I'm too lazy to write two more steps.

What's the red headed wonder got that you don't got... I mean YOU have WINGS!! She sooo can't beat that. Pssh... But whatever... I like bathroom stalls... oh and ice cream... hey, how bout a great combination of both? Ice Cream and bathroom stall writing... sure, you'd be eating ice cream on a toilet that the janitor prolly never even touched let alone cleaned before in his life, but hey. Small price you got to pay for the coolness.

Anonymous said...

Of course people know that in Missouri! I live there! Kayaking dominates over all manually-powered methods of nautical transportation (well, it's mostly used for fun, like doing it in whitewater rapids. Not that there really are any here) Ah... rambling...

Well, if you're interested in kayaking, start small, with lakes that have no currents, and then progress to rivers with rapids. It's awesome. For you and the rest of the flock, I don't think waterfalls would be a problem with you if you intend to go down those in kayaks. Just start to fly when you go off! Then land safely as you normally would on the water.

Same with our stalls...are you SURE this is not in our school? People come in with a permanant mraker and cuss up a storm on the stalls, those poor janitors...

but yeah the scribbling on the stalls. like expecially when its like omg im gunna like kick ur ass and blah blah blah.. if u have something to say to someone. walk up and tell them. dont write it on a stall wall and hope they read it while theyre doing thier buisness. like who walks in the bathroom with intentions to read what people write?. a normal person walks in does their buiness washes thier hands and walks out. like umm.

anyways. cant wait till we hear more from ya <33

Anonymous said...

My simple guide to guys (Fang):
1)Throw a big tanty about it.
2)Eat chocolate and refuse to talk to him.
3)When he asks you whats wrong, fall onto him and make out.
4)If he doesn't take it nicely, slap him.
THE END

I would go all eraser on you if you don't just hook up with Fang already. I'm so sick of waiting, GAAAAA!!!Anyways now that I've vented all of my anger... Follow your freaken heart or something, I don't know. You know what helps icecream and fatning stuff, have you noticed when people go through mental heartbreak they gain weight and stuff? Back on topic, Max I would say Fang plus Max equals total happiness( or else) jk. You should have jumped that red headed wonder after school. YOu could of blamed it on an eraser.

Wow. Fang. The ladies man. Hahah. Oh i just had to say that, sorry. But, come on. Let me see into the future with my magic crystal ball= I see one of those romances when the two friends start having feelings for eachother, but they go into denial. Many awkward,and jelouus stuff later they fall in love and stuff, blablabla. Yeah, what now. I also see the red headed wonder, she is bum bum bum, making out with some other randum boy, geez, what a skank.

People scribble stuff on the bathroom stalls all the time! sometimes to communicate with another person, or shout out feelings of something! Anyway, i'm sorry that your confused right now. In time, you'll figure it out. I don't know what's happened with Fang. I wouldn't have thought, he would do such a thing! There are gross people like that in my school! Beat him up for you and me!

My Guide:
1)Search around his room when he's out.
2)If you find anything about Lissa then wait till he gets home.
3)Act like you couldn't care less.
4)Go into his room and fall on him and make out.
5)Make him feel you up.
6)Keep making out and then........

Max, calm down. We all know that you have feelings for Fang, I feel the same way about someone else. It is natural, you are close friends and you've got a crush on him, it's sweet. I mean hey, it's better than Ari. Who by the way has a major crush on you. So don't sweat it, just talk to Fang, and if he gets annoying, just kick his ass. We all know you can.

if there is something i hate a lot its gotta be when two "friends" obviously like each other and don't hook up because i mean you could be having such a good time....

Anonymous said...

I'm going to admit this before I even say anything, because I'm straight-forward, I only read your books because even in the beginning, I loved the whole FangxMax relationship. The action and mystery crap is a bonus, and makes love's adventure that much better paved. And even though I'm not really talking to Max, I'm going to be a total nerd and talk to you like you are.

Max, if sorting emotions were easy, then life would be so gray. And while you may feel a whole bunch of things right now, I bet angry, hurt, and jealous are the three main ones. Lie is you want, but I'm always right. Cause I'm me. You know there'll be more sappy totally super uber adorable moments between you two until you finally realize how head-over-heels he is for you, and you'll keep your own emotions a secret, because you can't risk it. But when you're sure to face certain death, and you know there's a good chance you won't be comming back, you'll say it. Because you should. Because you will. Right now, you're just confused.

And believe me Max, to the world, that's nothing new.

look, you really don't need to think about this thing... it's not like your ever gonna see T.R.H.W again are you?!?! i mean it is fang first time to meet girls his age besides you, he sees you every single moment of his life! maybe he wants to meet human girls you know? if you ever get into a fight with T.R.H.W you know you're always gonna win... remember, you have WINGS!!! you can send her to the hospital in one blow!!! not that i'm telling you to do so...one blow from her would only be like a little poke considering what you've been through... you guys are 14, it's normal for you... sure i'm only 10, but i know cuz it happens at my age too, and i'm not busy running for my life... i've noticed that fang has really changed, in the beginning of the 1st book he hasn't said much or laugh, and at the end of the second book he's all happy and stuff. i think it's because before you guys were still in danger and didn't know much about your life, and now you're almost free as a bird (get it a bird cuz you guys have.. never mind) almost, and you know more about your lives so you guys are a bit more relaxed right? well i guess except for you cuz you still don't know about your whole life and who your parents were or are, but it's better not to know cuz the truth might be bad. i think that jeb is your dad cuz he always loved you best, tolerated you when you were acting crappy(no offense), when you killed ari he said that you killed your own brother, jeb let you be experimented on and he also let ari, so it's fair right? and ari does love you like a SISTER... so what do you think? i think you are a better leader than fang cuz you take care of everyone and fang doesn't really do that, does he... you were made to save the world and fang was made to help you. sorry if this is way too long, but who cares? i know most of the stuff i wrote doesn't really go with what you posted, but i just wanted to get this stuff off my chest...

You know, writing in this blog probably feels a lot like what I guess bathroom stall writing feels like. It's kinda weird. Been in the same boat as you, chill and wait to see what happens. For such a smarty pants though, u still don't know how Fang feels even w/ all the obvious clues? You know what they say, "Silence can mean a thousand words." Think about it.

Ok, Ya I have to agree with Pretty n' Perfect down there. Well, I borrowed the first book from the library because I liked the cover but I totally stayed into because Fang and Max dude! Embarrasing note, I didn't know whether Max was a girl or a guy until a few chaps in *SHHHHHHHHH* Anyway I shall be a total nerd and talk as if this were Max as well :D

Max, think about it, I mean he has been with you since you were little! It is absolutely normal to be attracted to him, besides you said it yourself Fang knows how to hit the heart of the problem because he knows you that well, and think about something else, in your thoughts as we all read when Fang gets hurt your thoughts are basically 'Not Him, Please not him' Ok I know you'd feel the same with the others but seriously! You know what we mean.
