I've never read a Percy Jackson book - I must admit, but if anyone recommends me one, I will.

Btw, yes, I totally agree: 4th grade is a great age!!! My fave students are mostly from 4th grade (just don't tell anyone, 'cuz they'll get jealous" (:

Actually I haven't. But I have seen them in the library. What ones would you recommend?"


The first one I read of his was The Association which drew me into his writing. It's kind of funny because we have a townhouse association which can be overbearing at times!

Your habit of walking into doors cracked me up. I walked into one of the archways at church when I was younger. Boy did I look totally uncool! LOL! I usually don't walk into doors though, but I can't walk on the left side of the hallway. I start there and slowly make it over to the other side, and without even realizing it. My daughter is always making fun of me!

When my oldest daughter was born, I had a student midwife taking care of me at the hospital. Everything the dr did she than did. She was so nice though! Best wishes!

OH, and I HATE spiders too. A friend of mine used to chase me around with one. Hate to admit it, but I we were in our early 20's too, not kids!

Lol I'm really tall so for me it's hitting my head in things. Luckily, I've got a hard head :P Oh and I've also got two left feet so I'm constant tripping too!


message 614: by M.J. (new)

M.J. Webb (mjwebb) Okay here goes;

1. I love my country and wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
2. I was once regressed and recounted a former life under hypnosis.
3. I will quite happily devour a pack of Mcvities dark chocolate digestives and feel absolutely no shame.
4. I started writing a book for my two children and haven't looked back since.
5. I work full time and am a loving father. Throw the writing/marketing/networking etc on top and you can see why I have the world's largest bags under my eyes and live on caffeine.

I thank you. :-)

Vennice Sumo (ven_nice110895) | 7 comments Ladies and gentlemen. Allow me to introduce myself. Nah. Too formal. :))) Hello woooorrrlllld!! Hi guys! I'm quite new to all this and i'm not really the techie type of girl rather i'm really bookish. So, forgive me if i'm quite clueless and just along the sides, watching each and every move you all guys make.. Well.. That didn't sound right. Came out creepy. Anywaaaay, moving on. I'm very much excited now, can anyone tell? Hahahaha. Let me continue. I'm 16 years old, was born and grew up in the Philippines. I've been in existence since the 8th day of November in the year of 1995. I like to describe myself as someone who's weird and crazy. I can be normal too, but what fun would that be? :)))) I love to read. I really. do. Reading is my passion. Alongside with eating and sleeping and studying, of course. I have a very active imagination and someday, I plan to write a YA myself. Hopefully. Well, i guess I've gone pretty much overboard. Sorry guys. I'm just like this. Hope I'm not annoying as I think. Off to reading~<3

LOL! Now I feel old. :) There is nothing quite like the 80's music. It was a fun time to with the big hair, neon clothes and the introduction of Madonna, Duran Duran, etc!

Also, good luck with the half marathon! That is wonderful!
