OMG I can't wait to find out the title!!! and you would NEVER write a collosal failure. Good luck with voting!
TITLE CONTEST! ally you're my new best friend (heehee)...
I'm sooo excited.
And just remember, Rick Riordan writes fantasy, you write realistic fiction - different catagories, different styles of writing, more than one best YA author ever... and besides, you are officially the best spy-book author EVER in the history of ETERNITY (and of course jennifer lynn barnes is a close second... the squad books are amazing)... did i mention that you're my new best friend? Ahhhh!
And, the first for letters of the word verification are "zcha", which if you mix it up is "zach"... a sign, maybe??? :-)
YAY!!!!!!!!! *pumps fist in air*
Relax!! I'm sure Heist/Kat will be a great success -- as far as first drafts go i mean. And I can't wait for the Title Crossword!!*clap clap* !!
--Kali
Sweet! can you tell us what color their unifroms are going to be? PLEASE!
HOLLY CRUD MUFFIN! I'm so excited it's rediculas *does happy celebration dance a few times then gets yelled at by brother saying i'm a wierdo* I'm so proud *sniffle* OOOOOOOOH I want to see if I can audition for the movie! And don't be ridiculas I think it's impossible for any of your'e books to be a complete failure.
WOW! Lots to do!
I can'd wait to see what the title is!!!
in Michigan we go to the secretary of state to get our license AND register to vote SIMULTANEOUSLY! how convenient :) mayhaps you have that option?
1) You are totally not a colossal failure in any way, shape, or form. Period.
2)I wish that I was old enough to go see "Burn After Reading". It looks really funny!
3) The title crossword: yeah!
4) Speaking of the title crossword, you are choosing to have it done on my brother's birthday, which is kind of cool.
5) Oh, and say "hi" to George for me. :)
wait does that mean we get to know the title???!!!
I won't figure out the title, but it's exciting nonetheless! :D
Um, that was sort of sarcastic, I think. I'm still waiting for the lab results.
Doctor references = too much House...

"Oh look Wghoops21 left a comment!"
for the comments from people who regularly read you blog?
jw.
cyao! ;-)
Hey Ally,
one more thing...
I'd like to announce that @ my skool we (all your devoted fans) are going to wear our GG stuff. They arent that cool, but I did buy one of the sweeeeet Ts you made. And the other one!
Anyone who wants to join, just where your GG stuff and say "GG3!" to everyone you see!
Next time this will happen is June 9th 2009! so be ready now and later!
GG3!
Wghoops21
yay!! it will be posted on my birthday!!!!!
First off, ALly! LOVE UR BOOKS!! never would any one of them be a collasal faliure.
and number b(yes i did that on purpose) Cleo, yes george clooney is real, he is rosemary clooneys son. He is also Ally's imaginary celb boyfriend!
Nice list Ally! Way longer than mine :) And October fist is my birthday!!!!! I'm so excited for the crossword. I'll be practicing on the New York Time for the rest of September!! Wow, you check your email every 2 seconds? :)
OMG!! Ally, I need to tell you this:
1) I check my email every 2 seconds too!!
2) I'm buying a GG looking outfit at Forever 21 and I was wondering if there is actually an outfit for sale somewhere like the actual thing.
3) I 'm sooo incredibly excited for GG3
4) The title contest? Your looking at the winner! Go GG!!
5) Your books are the best and if you ever say your a faliure again I'll feel like one too!
6) You'll never believe it, buit I'm writing a book!! I looked at the For Writers page you have on here and I now began my adventure of writing my own book, so I'll give ya updates on how thats going!
7) You are the best spy author in the world which brings me to my next question: In one of the For Writers links, you mentioned that you knew a girl or person from a spy school. Is that true? If so, what chool is it becuase after I read your book, I've been searching the interet for spy schools and private schools and stuff so please tell me.
8)I took your test on what GG are you. Guess what? I'm Cammie. Almost 100% Cammie! That rocks!
9) I'm sorry I type a lot. Writer at heart, I guess.
10) Who was the model on the front of the GG books? She looks like a cross between JoJo and Lindsay Lohan, but I don't know!
11) Do you sell complete GG uniforms someplace, because I really want one! I'd give up my phone for one! (Jk beacuse I don't have a phone!lol) Seriosly, you have to tell me and I'd even wear it school! I know I sound desperate, but whatever! You please have to tell me! I'll be your best friend!! Lol!!
Love your books,
GG
I'm sure one 'o' ur awsome, super kool friends can help you find out how to register an' all that!!! It can't be any worse than the DMV in my state.... you have to wait HOURS to get anything done!!!!!
Whoa, you check your email more than I do, Ally!!! Thats ah-mazing!! No, Kidding, I think... NEway... If you're that nevous, what helps most of the time is to go chill out and drink some green tea, and find a way to forget you even have a computer that allows you to check the internet, and thus, your email... Possibly by means of hiding said computer (but only if it's a laptop, 'cuz hiding a monitor is slightly on the hard side, and then you'll have to figure out how to set it up again..)
OMG, I read this blog like 3 minutes ago, and I already have October 1 memorized, like I did when you announced the release date of GG3!!!! I'm estatic right now!!!! And knowing you, your 'Heist' book will be just as good... hehe!
~~~ Ammonium Hydroxide... NH4OH
sounds like a plan!
i just read the first of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series. good stuff there! but i still like your stuff more...if that's any consolation...haha
Briana
Yay! Please be able to cross off numbers 14 and 13 soon! PLEASE! Can't wait!
It's a little impossible for you to write a colossal failure, so you really don't need to freak out about it. We know it'll be OK.
Good luck with the big voting process!
--Nadia
