Welcome to Gaia! ::

my greatest strength is my artistic ability!

*is waiting*

on another note....yay! I'm in Ravenclaw! and I earned five points! Huzzah!
Thank you for the friendly welcome on the second post.

I've been rereading the redwall series....I know thier for kids...but I own a few of them from gradeschool, and I love them...

They actually are good novels, despite the fact that all the characters are animals... XP

it was actually kinda weird...I kept going "awww" because it was...like...re-meeting old friends!!!


I didn't have many other friends in gradeschool...I was very booky...

Today's Question: Where are your greatest strengths?
My greatest strengths? One might be my artistic ability, though that depends on the person's opinion. I still don't think I'm that good at drawing humans with a mouse, really- as you can see from my signature. Another might have to be... I'm not to horrible of a writer, but usually my ideas don't really blossom into anything cool (like fanfics!), so that's also debatable. My biggest is probably my ability to rant for several pages a bout nothing in general, which you can see, I am already doing. D:

*dances* I was sorted into Ravenclaw. biggrin I'm very happy right now.

I've read nearly all the redwall books. Only a few I havn't read, because the school library didn't have them, and my friend couldn't lend me from the public library. I like them though, and I don't think they're actually childish- teenager-ish, maybe. They're a bit advanced for anyone younger, depending on their vocab and understanding.

I'm booky myself, and my friends are booky too. We all latch onto a series of books, and one person gets to check them out from the library/buy them, and then we all take turns reading the books. :3 I'm a fast reader, so I'm usually one of the first to read, or the last. I remember one series of books (fame, fortune, found, family, forever, they're church-y books but awesome) where my one friend bought the first, and we all read it. Every time a new book came out, we all read it. I ended up buying the last book of the series, and everyone drooled over it for the last few weeks of school. It was awesome.

Y'know- we could start a book club or something. Find a long fanfic, Harry Potter, of course, and have everyone read it, then review, discuss, etcetera.

Or book challenges- I used to do them with my friends at school. We'd give ourself a goal- 10,000 pages, and start reading books. Then we'd keep track of each and review them, till we reached our goal. It was a fun way to keep ourselves reading.

Hey! I think I'm in second year now!!! (somebody put me in the second year list!)


Phriese: I think your mouse drawn people are awesome! they have a really cool swirly style about them...Keep drawing girl!!!

biggrin Thanks for the compliment. Personally, I don't like how my humans look mouse-drawn, I;m much better on paper.

I didn't use the school library at all last year, suprisingly- the year before I had books checked out to the max every time, and I was in the library daily looking for new ones. I kind of read through all the good library books. I couldn't really use the library anyway, because they had a book checked out in my name from the year before, even though I've never heard of the book. D: My friends checked out books for me etcetera. I love my bookish friends.

Haha, that year, instead of library books, I google'd fanfictions and etcetera. And, I had a site, where I was reading a trilogy of books. I read from the beginning of the first to the last book, as it was being read. Only recently, the first book was published. I'm happy I've already read it, because my mom wouldn't buy it for me. *had some bedroom scenes* biggrin I'mm a perv, but it was a good read, so ehhh.

I read Deathly Hallows in a day, and spent the next week re-reading it over my mom's shoulder. I have to read books several times in a row, it's like an impulse with me. Haha.

Sorry about your copy, though. I'd die if my friends kept my books. Which reminds me- I'm going to have to get after one of them when school's back- she borrowed one of my books the last week of school and kept it during summer to finish it. My friends and I don't really keep in touch over the summer, so I'm mourning the loss of my copy. Can't remember what one it was, though. Ha.

Congrats on 2nd Year, fourtysecondscarf! (btw, do you have anything else you go by? fourtysecondscarf seems a bit long. You have a nickname?)

My greatest strengths are probably the fact that I am a very empathic and loyal person. I'm also very creative and artistic.

Anyways, Hi! I was just sorted a bit ago, and I'm fairly new to the guild xD;
I've always seen myself as some sort of mixbreed of Gryfindor and Ravenclaw, sort of like Hermione, but I relate to Ravenclaw a little more. Good to be here!

After I get done listening to book seven (I haven't picked up a copy, and my father happened to have a copy of it on audio so he gave it to me.) I plan on going to the library and picking up some psychology books to read for awhile. I need a break from fiction and I find psychology horribly fascinating.

Same here really xd I'm not going to pretend I understand every word of it, but I still think it's absolutely fascinating.

Thank you Phreise! That's very sweet of you :3

I've always thought about writing my own fiction series, I actually have a few incomplete plots and characters floating around in my head but I haven't been able to put together a full story as of yet.
