LOL? I know. It's so herd when you read a series, get attached then the books are done. Sometimes it feels like you're saying goodbye to a loved one. Ivy is so funny, except when she digs holes in my yard. LOL

Tina (frogluv3r) | 262 comments @Terri I am relaxing. Waiting for the sun to move so I can sit on my swing to read. It's too hot right now. :( It's a great day off!


message 353: by Terri (new)

Terri | 40 comments I have the sister puppy to Tina's weiner dog but since they are actually mixes (chiweenies) mine doesn't look much like a weiner dog other than her long body. Not to mention Tina's is almost twice the size of mine even though they share the same birthday lol. But they both are cute in there own ways. Tina has the mother of them both as well.

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 1269 comments Lol they sound so cute!!
@Mello- I love when characters have a really strong voice and you just can't wait to hear what they'll say next :)


Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin Ichimaru | 257 comments So do I. I have a long list of characters that make me feel like that and it seems to keep growing.

message 360: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer  Ricketts (Donnie Darko Girl) | 78 comments I've been a member of this group for quite a while, but hardly ever post here. I'm gonna be more active now. :D

Here's 5 thing about me:

1. I almost got kicked out of college for poor grades when I was 20. :P I talked my way back in, got straight A's, and graduated with my B.A. in Psychology.

2. I have 2 kids--Janie and Jack; a puppy--Beau; and two cats--Charlie and Charlotte.

3. I sing all the time--to my kids, in public, in the car...whatever songs are in my head have to come out no matter where I am, lol.

4. I absolutely adore writing--I've kept a journal since I was 9, and I'm about to be 31. I still have all of my journals.

5. I turn in library books late on purpose, thinking that paying my late fees might help them out with keeping their programs going. Maybe I'm contributing to the problem? Hope not!


message 361: by Marni (new)

Marni (wonderwmn999) Jennifer...I also love to sing everywhere. I may not be a great singer, but it makes me happy.

I don't know about the overdue fines. Whenever I have some I always tell them to keep the change.


message 362: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer  Ricketts (Donnie Darko Girl) | 78 comments Marni...I think I'll ask them if late fees help them out. If not, I will make sure to turn my books in on time, lol. Singing makes me so happy, especially if I'm feeling down. :)

message 377: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer  Ricketts (Donnie Darko Girl) | 78 comments It's not so bad, Gisbelle. I was afraid of what it was going to feel like the first time I got one. The sound of the needle thing they use makes it seem like it's going to be torture, but it's not so bad. My anxiety was a lot worse than the actual experience itself. :)

message 391: by Cheree (new)

Cheree (kumikoko) | 12 comments I am Cheree and five things about me are:

1. I have my own group I'm starting here on Goodread. Its a roleplay group, preferably a Pokemon one but, vampire, werewolf and other supernatural roleplays are welcome as well. Its my first time making a group though so don't laugh at me.

2. Besides reading YA novels, I stray towards Manga and Anime. I prefer reading over watching but, sometimes a nice Anime is good too...

3. I play video games. Mostly RPG's.

4. I write and draw. I'm not the best but one day I hope to be someone that people kinda know.

5. I DID graduate highschool. I may have had to go to a separate school in order to do so, but, I did. I finally passed that stupid math test! Whoo!

And, well, mostly, that's me...and or my interests...
