message 269: by Jeleni (new)

Jeleni (fearlesxx) Heyyy
1. Name is Jessie, but I like jeh better
2. Fearless is my favorite word
3. I like locking myself in my room to read and abuse chocolates
4. I'm from Malawi, a small country in Africa
5. I am currently praying for a Nook Color....
Wow that was random


Kel (Faerie-bookworm) (faerie-bookworm) | 12 comments Jeh it's not nice to abuse chocolates, consuming them is better. :D


message 271: by Tiffie (new)

Tiffie Hi there,
my name is Stefanie but everyone calls me Tiffie (due to my two little sisters who weren´t able to pronounce "Steffi" when they were little.)

1. I´m an office girl by day (human resources) and a writer and book lover by night (and weekends)

2. I started to study librarianship but had to quit because I couldn´t afford it any longer

3. I have a black belt in google and procrastination

4. I get really intimidated by well-known authors saying that they´ve been writing stories ever since they were young. That is because I surely haven´t and it makes me feel like I´ll never be able to pull it off. I keep writing for myself though, only stuff that I would love to read.

5. I love a lot of things here´s a small selection

I love
- baking
- drawing
- handicrafts
- coffee
- the feeling of sun on my skin
well, all the beautiful things in life...

And english isn´t my first language, so I´m utterly sorry in case I´ve been messing around with your language again.


Kel (Faerie-bookworm) (faerie-bookworm) | 12 comments I LOVE #3, that is awesome. LOL!!


message 273: by Tiffie (new)

Tiffie well, I admit, one of them comes in handy.. the other one... is rather counterproductive

message 279: by Tiffie (new)

Tiffie as to #2 I tink hair NEVER cooperates and I suspect that those people with 24/7 perfect hair have sold their souls to the devil OR they should really sit down with themselves and reconsider their priorities in life, either way... =)

message 282: by Katrina (new)

5. I have recently developed an odd fondness for leopard print (on scarves, shoes, belts, purses... almost anything!)

All very random, all very true!
