Hi
My name is Alana and I am new to this site. I just read a great book called the sisterhood of the traveling pants, I know the title may sound a bit funny but it is a great read. Sorry all you guys it might not be your kind of reading material. It is basically about a group of 4 girls: Carmen, Bridget, Lena, and Tibby. This summer they are all going is different directions: Greece,and Baja California are a couple of examples. They share a pair of pants and document their travel in the pants. This is a very interesting book that I think is worth the reading time.
Talk to you later.

Joe wakes up and enters room, fully dressed and SOBER. He says "Hey Alana". And in my mind and heart it will never seem rediculous to me because I too am beyond understood. I am quite sure it is a very good read if you say so.

Surely you jest ... nobody actually READS national geographic. They just pile up until the people from the nuthouse come to get you and they have to walk through the maze created by the piles of the damn things.

The maps are printed on very sturdy paper, though, and can be used to block the ultra-cosmic radiation from coming in and stunting your growth.

Hey, I thought I was the only one who liked Terry Pratchett! Bring it here and I will autograph it for you: ), seriously!

I'm currently carryig a copy of captain underpants around with me, dave pilkey-

jaguar · 11-20-2002, 05:39 AM

He's in Melbourne tomorrow, so ill get it autographed myself thanks =)

Don't read all of nat geo but there is usually at least on interesting articel in there, always worth a look, i've got them all going back to 1985, always good if i run out of other stuff.

j03L10T · 11-20-2002, 05:51 AM

I'm going to make this perfectly clear as nicely as possible. Terry Pratchett is one of about a hundred pseudonyms I invented since I was a child. If you think that the person in the picture of the back cover is the actual author, then that's quite expected. HIS real name is David, and at random moments he is still a very friendly accquaintance.
Thanks for reading one of our books, hope you enjoyed it; )

Too late Dave, my mother remembers reading it way back in the days before it was published. And yeah, I was still getting high back then. I gave her a copy on mother's day and she was pretty happy with the roses as well. Can't says I blame you for trying though. Enjoy your all expenses paid vacation to Melbourne, on ME.

I do have private messaging, for your convenience. I really don't wish to embarass anybody and I will continue to tell the truth about everything and anything I have actually penned and sung. I am not obligated to keep my mouth shut about any of this.
