I Write, Therefore, I Live discussion

I'm sure I've said this elsewhere, but this group is dying, so let's up the ante a little bit. If you have any ideas/suggestions/comments for making our group more active AND fun, let me know, and I'll definitely consider doing it.

Please, don't let our group fade away.

LET'S DO IT~!~!
Okay, over caps lock now. Anyone have any good ideas for amping it up 'round here?

Well, just by posting, it's being pulled to the top of everyone's list of groups.

That's good. What do you think about contests, Lauren?

idk. What exactly is a contest on Goodreads?

*sneaks up behind Lauren*

*jumps on her back*

ha ha! I caught you this time!

*laughs*

The back you see is one of my shadow doppelgangers. mwahahaha

Lauren, you're just too good at this. But I'm a sore loser. Except when it comes to sports. I'm good at losing in sports. Anyway, back to the topic. You may have got me this time, but I will-- *starts to choke*


I'm okay. Just that an evil shadow doppelganger just gave me a dog flavored jellybean.
I will get you for real next time Lauren!

*laughs a good evil laugh*

Berty Botts?

Idk, go ask your doppelgangers. They were the ones that gave it to me.

Has everyone invited everyone they know?

I have. I think. I don't think I've got any more friends since then.

Well, I'm glad there are new members.

Yes! Maketh me excited.

yesh. me too.

I invited a lot of people.

I don't have a lot of people to invite. Plus, my friends mainly just come on to update book statuses.

I get a bout 1 friend invite every 2 days, kinda annoying since I know like none of my friends.

lol

I refuse friend invites, my question is "how do I know you" and if they can't answer I ignore.

I hate the people with 0 books and 3432 friends.

Urgeth, I agree. This isn't Facebook and the more people who go on and don't read are turning it into that. Goodreads used to be a place where smart people talked to other smart people about smart things.

I like to look at the books I'm currently reading, and count how much more I have to read. Right now, I'm reading a book that's hard to understand (for me), but I'll just bear through it.

Hardest book I know of: Unbearable Lightness of Being. It's still kinda easy though... I know like no books too above my reading level.

I think Paige left the group, so she may not even see anything she posted.

But please rant and come up with solutions. Group discussions are a good idea.

We need to invite people! And then tell them to invite! And post adds! More members equal less dead!

I like it here, because you can meet people. You can't meet people on Facebook.

Yeah, I agree with Lauren. On Facebook, you're supposed to only add people that you really know. I like this group, because there aren't tons of people. When there are tons of people, I can't keep up with the conversation.

Gah! I have to go to school soon and I haven't done my math hw!!

School? I've been in school for 15 minutes.

At school on the computer on Goodreads?

Well, I have to go to the bus stop soon. In 7 minutes.

I have a laptop at school. Everyone does.

Really? Stupid honorary program schools.

Yeah. Macbooks.

Lucky Lauren! Well, I'm in middle school. Today someone stole someone's iPod in the PE locker room. They were searching through backpacks and cutting open lockers.
I have a laptop, it just doesn't work very well. Plus, my mom's is always on, so I just get on and do things.

haha everything gets stolen in gym, because everyone is too stupid to lock their lockers.

I know! I heard one girl say, "Why did you lock your locker? No one locks their lockers anymore."

So stupid. That's two iPods I know stolen. Also, someone stole a teacher's laptop sometime this year. I stay out of all the trouble. Except I'm thinking about pulling a prank on a boy...


...not a bad one though.

lol

My friends and I have an awesome idea. We're going to go into the boys bathrooms and kiss all the mirrors in bright red lipstick, and wrap everything in pink tissue paper.

Good luck with that. Boys go to the bathroom a lot. I think it's an AWESOME idea though! I learned a few of pranks from my sister's friend. Ex:
Put clear soap on the door handle so it will feel slimy and yuck.
Change the keys on the keyboard.
Put salt in water.
Put water in the bottom of the bowl, put it in the freezer, then say that you'll get a sibling/friend/parent cereal or some kind of food.

I can't think of the other ones right now.

Your sister's friend is genius.

And she's only 9 turning 10. Pretty creepy!

Here are some other simple pranks:
*Wet your hand with water, pretend to sneeze, and then sprinkle the water from your hand on them.
*Pour shampoo out of the bottle and replace it with honey.
*Add food coloring to the milk.

Those are all easy pranks. Old ones too. I've only tried the change keys on the keyboard, and put salt in water.

Hm... I want to know the website...

Those are what my sister's friend said. No website that she told me of. I'll ask her tomorrow...

=D

Love me, hate me, say what you want about me....

((I've been listening to music too often this week...))

GAH!

It's been getting slow around here.

I have music stuck in my head. Right now it's Where is the Love by the Black Eyed Peas

"compare books with Lauren
You and yourself have 858 books (or 100.00% of your library and 100.00% of her library) in common. Your tastes for those 858 ratings are 100% similar. "

I compared books with myself.

Oh my gosh. Seriously? I couldn't have guessed that.

I have 150 pages of a book to read before tomorrow. I can do it!

YES YOU CAN!

All time record-I read the 5th harry potter book in a matter of hours.

My sister is ten and she finished the 1st book in two days. The 2nd in one day. I haven't really counted, but last my record was 220 pages in a matter of hours. I ACCIDENTALLY finished reading the book. I only meant to start the book.

I read the first one when I was 6. lol I read 5th (about 900 pages) in 12-ish hours.

I hate that! Then I have nothing to read til the next trip to the library
