Me too, lol.

Does anyone remember those little promo commercials that Nickelodeon did before the premiere of the movie. You know those little promo commercials which promoted an individual spy gadget of Harriet's. For example: One commercial talked about her yellow spy coat, why she uses a spy coat, etc. Another talked about her special binoculars, another about the Notebook, etc.

I remember seeing those commercials as a kid, writing down what the items were, and collecting those items too so I could be a spy just like Harriet.

Not for me, but after watching this movie today... I think I'm way past due for a tomato and mayonnaise sandwich.

Hated tomatoes when I was a kid; can't stop eating them, now...

Killing people is easy...if you can forget the taste of sugar.

I never had a private book (I was too afraid that someone would take it and read it like in the movie), but this movie caused me to want half of a tomato and mayo sandwich and half of a cream cheese and olive sandwich (because that's one of the things Harriet's mother suggests she has instead of the former) every day for lunch to take to school! lol My mother as well as the kids at my school must've thought I was so gross!

Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Let your soul take you where you long to be!~POTO

I hated tomato and still do, but I still tried to make them - lol.

As for the private notebook..of course. I had a diary before watching the movie, but after I did get a "private" notebook talking about each and everyone of my classmates. I took it to school , too! I once left it on top of my desk and a boy read it out loud..not the whole thing - I snatched the notebook from him. Lol

LoLz, I still have my composition notebook with the thing that I made that said all the stuff her's said like "Private" "Keep Out" lolz. I am craving a tomato sandwich right now. "I can't help it if I know what I like, and I know, and I like, tomato." ;)

Loved the book - still have my copy - and thought the movie was a pretty good adaoptation. Have no interest in seeing the sequel/re-version 'Blog Wars' though

I gotta find out what makes a man decide not to run, why, all of a sudden, he'd rather die
