Okay, obviously this group is for Alison Croggon fans and I have started it because AC is a great, descriptive author and I want to know how others feel about her.

If you want to join, please post a note to me (Gianna L)! I want this group to be by invitation only so that no rude people can join. ;)

      hahaha yes I can see the paper work now.

      Guy filling out the paperwork: Officer do you know the cause of death?

      Officer" (With a cheesy distressed voice) Yes. Yes I do.

      Guys filling out the paper work: Well? (Looks up, waiting.)

      Officer: They died from...anticipation. Yes that's right. The poor things just couldn't wait any longer for those dang books to come out.


      Haha

      yeah. serves them right. then they would issue a law saying you couldn't make anyone wait more than six months (or less, actually...) just think of the favor we'd be doing all other readers!

      Yeah!! Susan, you are the one that gets to die, and then Ivana and I get to sue all the major publishing companies and get them to release books when they are actually completed!! It's brilliant!! ;)

      all right, *sobs* i'll sacrifice myself for all the other readers....i won't mind so much, as long as you raise a statue to my honor, and let everyone what a brilliant actress *sarcastically* i would have been, if it weren't for the horrible, malicious publishing companies!!!!!!!!

      yeah, we really should become a comedy team....after we make the pellinor quartet, of course. :)

      haha i can see the headlines now. Oh no, your statue has to have it's square dedicated to you, even a park possibly, and there will be those little informational thingys and it will explain the reason of your deathv(the big bad publishing companies wouldn't let the books out earlier). Every one will shake their heads in disgusst at the injustice of it lol

      As horrible as gas prices are (I can't even drive yet! Argh!), check out the prices in Europe. They are paying about twice as much as we are. Be grateful!

      It's not like dirt roads and small town. We have malls and all that kind of stuff, but its still not what I'm used to. After you hit all the what, five hotspots its boring.

      We do have lots of crops like corn and cotton, but we are losing a lot of those because so many people are moving here. Our housing markets haven't gone down, in fact the might have gone up.

      The trucks, everywhere you look. It's like its essential for a boy to have a truck down here. And not just any truck, no I'm talking the Ford F-150s sitting on the highest wheels possible. Its ridiculous!

      yeah, gas is ridiculous. it's gone up almost $2 dollars just this summer!!!!! by the time we get to drive (excluding you ivana, and i don't know about max) it's going to be too expensive to drive, so we'll never learn.....:) i love being morbid.

      i drove the kubota yesterday!!!! (at our stables....for anyone who doesn't know, it's sorta like a golf cart on steroids. like a mule...if anyone knows what that is....aaaah! this is so hard to explain!!!) no, i didn't crash. it was actually really fun. i can't wait to do it more, and this way, i won't have to use the wheelbarrow to tote stuff around the stables!!! yaaaaayyy!!!!

      Awesome! The other day my mom let me back our car out of the driveway. I didn't turn the steering wheel far enough and she got annoyed with me. *Sigh* I can't wait until I'm sixteen!

      why was she mad at you? wasn't she expecting you to be less-than-perfection on your first try? especially backing up! i have the same problem with steering though....i either turn it too far or not far enough. my friend danielle had to keep grabbing the wheel....

      I won't lie, driivng is a really great freedom(once ur past permit). But cars can be interesting, especially when you have your own. Like for instance, this morning I thought mine was going to explode! that was interesting. haha

      it's kinda lengthy story, but here goes.

      I went to drive to work and I get in my car (I have a subaru forester) and i get into reverse and I gently tap my gas petal. But all of a sudden I go flying backwards! I went to fast!!! so i quick put my foot on the brakes, but it was really hard to stop(but the car did stop moving). but even when I was stopped the acceleration meter was as far as it could go and the speedometer was reading like maximum speed. My car was shaking and the engine was so loud it sounded like it was going to combust and explode! I quick got out and ran to get my mom. She got in the car and it did the same thing for her. But then i realized that the gas petal might be stuck, and sure enough the mat that is on the floor was flipped up and was pushing the petal down! I couldn't believe it. So luckily my car didn't explode after all. hahaha

      it was really good, i enjoyed it. I actually just got home from my second day. My history professor is...um...interesting, i suppose is the word I want. lol he is sooooo full of himself, he certainly likes to hear himself talk. it'll be an interesting class. lol but my math teacher is soo nice and sweet! I didn't really get to talk to my english teacher today because we had to do this wierd in class writing sample thing, I dunno what it was for though. but all in all it was really good!

      our camping trip went pretty well. the highlight was the trail ride we went on (for me anyway, it was the best part) and (we live in the napa WINE valley, if you've heard of it) so we doing local studies and stuff and we went to this winery and they actually crush the red grapes with their feet still and we got to get into these huge vats and walk around up to our knees in grapes!!! i had no idea people still did that and it was totally awsome!!!!!
