*Raises hand* OOH! I HAVE A QUESTION!!!

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Yes, Jams?

[Jasmine]

What do we write about the character? A miny story about them or something???

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Yeah, kind of like that. It can take place before or after the canon.

[Jasmine]

YAY!!! I'M GOOD AT THAT :D *HAPPYNESS!!!*

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Good to know! Will you be entering? (Please say yes, I don't want this to be a flop...)

[Amy]

Oh man I wanna do this but I'll need to think about who to choose... I might have some spare time at work tomorrow to write. What's PM? (is my age catching up...?)

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

private message. I had no idea what it was at first either.... You click on somebody's name and click send message, once their profile comes up.

[Amy]

Ahhhhh ok thanks ;) that helps. My idiot boyfriend is planning on watching football all day tomorrow so I may pour myself a glass of wine and write ;)

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Yes, wine and writing. The perfect day. U til you are interrupted by "GO SPARTANS!!" coming from the living room.

[Jasmine]

As a 13-almost-14-yearold, I have no idea what you're talking about... I do like writing though...

[Amy]

Lol :) he's watching his college football team right now and just slapped the leather ottoman really loudly. Awoke me from my bored stupor.

And Jazzy, wine is a bad habit ;)

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

better wine than vodka.. or whiskey or something way stronger. Now I sound like an alcoholic! *headdesk* But just no alcohol.

Watching people watch the superbowl is hysterical! A few years ago, there were these ladies at half time in tight white clothing and my then fiveyearold brother said, "I think those girls are sexy."

Football is dangetous to young minds!

So I've heard... My mom drinks wine sometimes when people come over, and my brother once told her to not get drunk XD That was funny...

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

My mom used to drink beer and try to dance at the same time. We got amusing results...

[Jasmine]

Your little brother said that O.O I knew that kids were slowly becoming less inoccent young children, but reallY??? I thought that kids only got like that at 7 (I had to help a class of Gr.2s once and some of the kids were swearing all the time...)
I didn't even know 'sexy' was a word at 5...

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

We had no clue where he picked that up. The next day he was speaking of something better left unmentioned here. Mum had to sit him down so they could "talk". He might have even picked it up frrom me or his other brother (most likely our brother, if he was referring to a girl..)

o.o that would be funny... Fortunately my mom doesn't dance... Or get drunk. She always had to stay sober enough to drive everyone home when she and her friends went out...

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

My mom never got flat out wasted. It was more slight alcohol consumption getting to her. Kind of before she got drunk.

[Jasmine]

That's good... although drunk people do stupid and hilarious things...

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

My uncle used to get drunk. He was really funny. we would tell him things that weren't true and give him burnt marshmallows.

[Jasmine]

Aw... I wish I had an uncle like that... I don't think that will ever happen though since the only family members that I actually see more than 3 times a year are all geeks -.- It's pretty sad sometimes...

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

We don't see our relatives alot either, but whenever we do, its a special occasion, so most everubody is drunk and we try to confuse them with "But you don't like Pepsi. Here have some Coke."

[Amy]

My mom got really drunk a few months ago (we were at a restaurant and they didn't have her brand of watered-down beer so she was drinking something stronger) and she told my boyfriend he had a very sexy shoulder and was kissing it the entire time we walked out of the restaurant. Needless to say she didn't remember it the next day ;)

[Jasmine]

That is funny and awkward at once...

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

I would probably yell at her and say that he is MINE!

[Amy]

Lol I had zero idea that it happened until the next day!!!! Hahah :)

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

Well, maybe people need to put up a sign in restaurants, " Children, constant supervision of drunken adults is required!"

[Jasmine]

XD Very true! But then who watches the children when they get grumpy? The poor restaurant stafff...

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

One time I walked into a cafe and there was a sign that said,n"All unattended children will be given an expresso and a puppy!" I called up my mom so she would leave her twelve year old hnattended. It didn't work.

[Jasmine]

Aw... That's mean... I want a coffee and a puppy (even though I don't like coffee...)

[Amy]

OMG I've totally seen that sign before too!!! Can't remember where... Very clever though!!

[Becca, The Mind Behind The Awesomeness. And Lover of Penguins.]

It might not have worked because he is kinda tall and beefy for a twelve year old.

[Jasmine]

It wouldn't have really worked for me either... I apparently look old for my age -.- yipee...
