Want to tell us about a new book coming out? Want to ask a question about a challenge or game? Can't find something? Want to just shoot the breeze? This is the place to do it. Give us something to talk about.

Lol me and Olivia were just fooling around;) but most of my friends call me Kathy-if you look at my "about me" on my profile I have like a million nicknames!! :)


message 10: by Katie (new)

Katie | 54 comments When did people start calling you Kathy? Just curious sinice I knew you as Katherine.


message 11: by Katie (new)

Katie | 54 comments That should have said since, not sinice. Apparently I can't type.


message 12: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 905 comments Haha good question, in grade school people started calling me Kathy but I still introduced myself as Katherine but the nickname just kinda stuck, and a lot of people still call me Katherine (and Kath, and Katie and sometimes Kat but not usually)so it just kinda depends on ur preference I don't really mind :)


message 13: by Katie (new)

Katie | 54 comments Okay, gotcha. On my Goodreads page, you're Kathy, but in my phone contact list, you're Katherine. I can just know you by multiple names.


message 14: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 905 comments Lol I think The Princess and the Frog was such a cool version of the story!


message 20: by Mpiggy (new)

Mpiggy I love Tarzan!! That reminds me a hilarious post I saw a while ago. It said:
"Dear Parents,
Jasmine was in a relationship with a dirty homeless boy name Aladdin.
Snow White lived alone with 7 men.
Pinnochio was a liar.
Robin Hood was a thief.
Tarzan walked around without clothes on.
A stranger kissed Sleeping Beauty and she married him.
Cinderella lied and snuck out at night to attend a party.
You can't blame us.
We were taught to rebel since a young age."

Haha that's hilarious!


message 22: by Mpiggy (new)

Mpiggy Yeah, my sister just randomly looks up posts and finds them. Some are like exactly what we do. It's so funny!!


message 23: by Mpiggy (new)

Mpiggy Haha, here's something else my sister found.
"Impossibilites in the world
1. U can't count your hair
2. U can't wash your eyes with soap
3. U can't breathe when your tongue is out
Put your tongue back in fool
9 things I know about you
1. You are reading this
2. U are human
3. U can't say the letter P without separating your lips
4. You just attempted to do it
6.U are laughing at yourself
7. U have a smile on your face and you skipped #5
8. U just checked to see if there is a #5
9. You laugh at this because you are an idiot and everyone does it to"

I fell for it all!! :P


message 24: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 905 comments lol that's funny :)


fyi for all members: DON'T FORGET TO POST A QUESTION ON THE NEW AUTHOR Q&A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


message 25: by Mpiggy (new)

Mpiggy Did you fall for it?
Haha, this is really funny: "No I will not share my iPod with you. Its an iPod NOT and usPod"


message 26: by Alisa (new)

Alisa Ha ha. I just found something like that:

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator. This tests your memory. OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You swim across. All the Crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.


message 27: by Mpiggy (new)

Mpiggy Haha, thats good!!!!


message 28: by Mpiggy (new)

Mpiggy Here's something else. See what ones you do, I pretty much do them all.
"We girls:
-take a walk in the house with a toothbrush
-read the text on the shampoo bottle in the shower
-push the door when it clearly says pull
-laugh at our jokes when we haven't even shared them
-we ask what? when we clearly understand everything
-hate when the wind messes up our hair
-look in the fridge 10 times without eating anything
-have to call our phones to find it
-check the time on our phones when we are wearing a watch
-turning around the pillow to sleep on the cold side
-when we stay up late we count how many hours of sleep we will get
-smiling while reading this"


message 29: by Alisa (new)

Alisa I do pretty much everything except for walking around the house with a toothbrush.


message 30: by Mpiggy (new)

Mpiggy yeah, I don't read the text on the shampoo or call my phone to find it but the rest is definitely what I do all the time :)

message 33: by Alisa (new)

Alisa More. Where does she find these?


message 34: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa | 184 comments I use my phone as a small reading light at night and I have to do that. And when I realize I've accidentally called someone and go all crazy and hit the end button, then lay in bed and hope they didn't hear it and call me back demanding why I called them at 1 in the morning.


message 35: by Mpiggy (new)

Those things are great. I found an awesome list:

Advantages Of Being A Woman
Why it's better to be a Woman!

1. We got off the Titanic first.

2. We get to flirt with systems support men who always return our calls, and are nice to us when we blow up our computers.

3. Our boyfriend's clothes make us look elfin & gorgeous. Guys look like complete idiots in ours.

4. We can be groupies. Male groupies are stalkers.

5. We can cry and get off speeding fines.

6. We've never lusted after a cartoon character or the central female figure in a computer game.

7. Taxis stop for us.

8. Men die earlier, so we get to cash in on the life insurance.

9. We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.

10. Free drinks, Free dinners, Free movies ... (you get the point).

11. We can hug our friends without wondering if she thinks we're gay.

12. We can hug our friends without wondering if WE'RE gay.

13. New lipstick gives us a whole new lease on life.

14. It's possible to live our whole lives without ever taking a group shower.

15. We don't have to fart to amuse ourselves.

16. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.

17. We can congratulate our team-mate without ever touching her butt.

18. If we have a zit, we know how to conceal it.

19. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.

20. If we're dumb, some people will find it cute.

21. We don't have to memorize Caddyshack or Fletch to fit in.

22. We have the ability to dress ourselves.

23. We can talk to people of the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.

24. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we're aware that we look like an idiot.

25. Our friends won't think we're weird if we ask whether there's spinach in our teeth.

26. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.

27. We'll never regret piercing our ears.

28. We can fully assess a person just by looking at their shoes.

29. We know which glass was ours by the lipstick mark.

30. We have enough sense to realize that the easiest way to get out of being lost is to ask for directions.
