This is the placeto meet and introduce one another!

I will start:

Your turn!

Oh! Never mind! It turns out it IS some chocolate from Switzerland.


message 4: by Alicia (new)

Alicia (ughleasha) Haha I have lived in Belgium too actually. Look for neuhaus chocolate...their best (and fairly unkown) brand.

Now I am jealous! What in the world do you do for a living?

Becca (beccatheawesomeone) | 365 comments Mod
Oh, psychology...Never mind. I wouldn't be good at that, mainly because I need somebody who works with gray matter to figure out my own.


message 7: by Alicia (new)

Alicia (ughleasha) It's not what I do - my DAD has been working for various insurance and investment companies. Now he works for Zurich.

Becca (beccatheawesomeone) | 365 comments Mod
Insurance? Investment? Another thing I wouldn't be able to do. But maybe I should look into that now...

Am I the only person who hasn't left their home country yet?

Welcome Triv. I hope you have fun here.

Today, my twelve year old little brother shoved a toy rubber tire up his nose. I scolded him saying he should know better. Then my mom had to take the tire out with eyebrow tweezers. Yes, it was as amusing as it sounds. And kind of scary.

I am Jams! I am 13 (fourteen in 25 days ^__^)! I have 2 siblings: 1 an annoying super-genius who couldn't find his way to the bus-stop (figures...) and 2 a grumpy little girl who looks exactly like I did when I was her age...

Um... I don't have a job... Does student/writer/reader/random awesome girl count as an occupation? And I live in my birth country: CANADA! A land where we apparently say "eh" and have paper money with inserts of stories on the back!

Hey there! I LOVE Canada I've been there 3 times and I'm still begging to go again.

Becca (beccatheawesomeone) | 365 comments Mod
I have only been to Canada once. Well not really, I took a wrong turn then they started asking for my passport and all that, and I'm all "I'm jusg going to a Tigers game. Please don't kill me." But welcome Jazzy, I hope you have fun here!


message 16: by Amy (new)

Amy (aimzees02) | 83 comments Omg jazzy you're only 13??? You're SO eloquent for a 13 year old... My boss's daughter is 13 and she still talks like she's adding question marks to the end of her sentences.

And quick intro for me: I'm Amy, I'm 28... LOVE YA books... I live in Arizona and I actually produce commercials for a living - write, film, and edit. It's really fun!!!


message 17: by Jasmine (new)

Jasmine (jazzyjams) | 183 comments Mod
Yup... Around you guys I feel little... But thanks for calling me eloquent! *Rushes to google what that means, stopping for a moment to curse her small vocabulary*
Cool! Eloquent is an awesome adjective! I'm like that
(sorta) except when there's a public-speaking thing... Then all hope dies -.-

I have been to Arizona before. It was hot. Very hot. Makes me glad I live in the north :)

On the back of Canadian money there are story inserts?!


message 20: by Jasmine (new)

Jasmine (jazzyjams) | 183 comments Mod
For some odd reason, our paper money on the front we have the head of some old important guy, along with a part of parliament. On the back I guess it's randomness about Canadian culture... On a blue 5 there's hockey, and some quote by a guy named Roch Carter.
On purple 10 we have war-memorial stuff, and a bit from flanders fields.
We honestly have rainbow picture money...

Pretty good... Um... I don't know how to help in this situation as I occasionally have the same unsolved problem...

Lol so I just looked up eloquent for the heck of it and it's not quite what I thought it was lol.... I meant to say you have a very sophisticated style of speaking :) hahaha!!

Lol you must have come during the summer ;) it's funny though... It gets kinda cold in the winter. It's snowed twice in the 5 years I've lived here. Then if you go to northern Arizona it snows all the time. Kinda cool to see the stark white against the rich red rocks.

No, I get them from other groups... I am really in too many groups... I don't even talk in 3 of them...

I still like the definition either way! My writing style and line of thought is much more sophisticated than what actually comes out of my mouth...

Only twice? I guess it does snow a lot in Canada...


message 33: by Amy (new)

Amy (aimzees02) | 83 comments Lol yeah only twice!! Then again it's really hot here... The low during the day in January is 60 degrees F

Amy wrote: "Lol yeah only twice!! Then again it's really hot here... The low during the day in January is 60 degrees F"

I just had to google that to convert it to Celsius... But only that much!?! Here that's Late Spring or early Fall weather here...

The low in January last year was well below what you would call -4 F... But at least in the summer it isn't as hot here as it is where you are... The average (including humidity) is what you call 95 F...


message 36: by Amy (new)

Amy (aimzees02) | 83 comments Yeah our winters are soooo mild... I've laid by the pool on Christmas before. But don't get me wrong, I've paid my dues - I grew up in Chicago so I was there for 18 years!!


message 37: by Jasmine (new)

Jasmine (jazzyjams) | 183 comments Mod
Lucky that your winters are nice now... Although Winter has become slightly less cold lately, which is both wonderful and the worst thing that could ever happen...


message 38: by Amy (new)

Amy (aimzees02) | 83 comments Lol what with global warming and all!!! I have to say... I've lived a few places in the US and I have noticed a significant change in the weather overall...

Jonathan  Terrington (thewritestuff) I'm Jonathan, and I'm from Australia also. I'm eighteen and I'm currently studying to become a secondary teacher. I want to teach English, History and secondary level teenagers.

Welcome Jonathan! My name is Becca, and I am a bit of a mental case. If you would like to talk books, feel free to send me a friend request! Is Australia nice? I think I should go there someday.

What is secondary level?


message 41: by Jonathan (last edited Sep 11, 2012 10:22PM) (new)

Jonathan  Terrington (thewritestuff) High school, teens to young adults

Yeah Australia's great! I feel like a bit of a mental case at times also.


message 42: by Amy (new)

Amy (aimzees02) | 83 comments How fun!! I have some friends from Adelaide... We Americans love us some Aussies!!


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey :) I'm Emily, 15 years old, from Australia, and I really like reading. I am the second of 5 children, and the youngest is a two year old cutie boy, :)


message 44: by Jasmine (new)

Jasmine (jazzyjams) | 183 comments Mod
Hey Emily! Is Australia nice, by the way to all Aussies? It was my favourite country a couple years ago (still is, although I now also like Liechenstien and plan to one day go to both countries...)


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

:D Australia is nice, but some places just suck. Like, Sydney is all really cool and stuff, but I prefer the country, and the city is just too hectic and packed in.. The country side is nice, but a lot of it is dry and so, not green, but it is still really nice , and there is plenty of green spots :) You should come and visit.


message 46: by Jasmine (new)

Jasmine (jazzyjams) | 183 comments Mod
Yay! I've always thought Australia was cool... I guess since a majority of the country is the outback, it makes sense that the cities are crowded...

My favorite countries are Egyt and Greece. I used to love history, and wanted to go to Cambridge University in England to study anthropology and archaeology. Maybe if this wholee bank teller thing doesn't work out...


message 48: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah. Most of the population lives along the coast, I guess because the weather is generally nicer there, and mostly in Queensland, NSW and Victoria. I guess because the rest of the country is a lot drier, hotter, and more desert regions, so they don't live there as much. :)

Oh I really live Egypt, have always wanted to go there! And I really like the whole mythology in Ancient Greece and Rome and Egypt :)

Becca (beccatheawesomeone) | 365 comments Mod
I would love to go! But then I would need a passport, andI am not exactly a fan of dead people. Maybe an anthropologist is not the job for me.
