Online chat with Ann Nov. 29

info...

www.scholastic.com/annmartin/

One of the links listed it as October 29, though...hm.

[lisa]

Does anyone have any idea what time that translates to in Australia? I suck at figuring that out.

I think we need to think of a list of questions that we need to ask her.

[jen]

Yeah. Like is Claudia *really* dumb, or just pretending?

[liss31d]

;D... another question to ask her, Ann why do you hate Mallory so much?

[lisa]

We could ask her if Jessi's black or it was just the impression we've been getting.

[ktag]

^She is?!

Heh, I wouldn't know what question to ask her that wouldn't be snarky. Maybe we should just show her the inconsistencies thread and ask her to explain.

[jen]

We could go through the inconsistencies thread and make a compilation of questions from it... When's this chat again? *scrolls up* Ooh, 29th. That gives us ages! Maybe I'll do that once uni exams are over.

[booboobrewer]

I wonder if maybe she likes to talk about her other non-BSC books more. Nonetheless...I'll have to think of some good ones to submit. Not sure if I'll be able to join the chat live that day.

jenlovesmorelli, amazing sig! isabelquinn is awesome. "Sometimes collecting the mail is the highlight of my day..." I forgot about that MA gem.

Ugh, I hope not. That's like how it always annoyed me how Alicia Silverstone was really bitchy about distancing herself from Clueless.

[lisa]

Hey, macca/jen, do you know what time this is gonna be for us?

[lilafowler]

It's 1-2 PM EST, when I will be in my physics lecture Anyway, that's 18:00-19:00 UTC. I'm not sure how many hours ahead of UTC you are, but I'd venture it's going to be grossly early in the morning.

[jen]

Wait, wait, it's the 29th here now. It's 18:00-19:00 UTC? I don't even know what UTC is. Off to Google I go...

Edit: Okay, I think that UTC is 11 hours behind Sydney time (AEST). So if my maths is correct, then 18:00 on the 29th on UTC time is 5am on the 30th for Sydney time. Eep.

Edit again: Hey, I just had a look at the website again - you can submit questions ahead of time. Has anyone submitted any? Should we make a serious list of questions we want answered? Is anyone online now?!

[sugarmonkey]

I'm just about to log off. We should ask her a general question about how all those inconcistencies got in the books. Or Why the girls were so freakin' grown up.

[jen]

I submitted two questions, one about the "now we're stepsisters" present and another one about why Jessi never got the braces she was supposed to get. I couldn't figure out a nice way to ask "why are there so many inconsistencies?". And I'm sure there are things *besides* inconsistencies that we wanted to know about! Oh... I'm going to ask a question about Claudia. And why she's so adamant that she doesn't have a learning disability.

Ooh, good one! Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to remember to check it out tomorrow. I just submitted a question about their age. I'll try to think of some more. I wonder how many people will show up to this thing.
