Here are the questions for Week One and my answers:

1.  We meet some of Charley's ghostly "buddies," do you believe you have ever had a ghostly encounter?

“Buddies” LoL I sure laughed my ass off with her “buddies”. I don’t know, I’m not really sure, but nothing is impossible. Maybe the ghost I saw had some weird power to erase my memory and stuff. :P

2.  Charley named her jeep Misery.  Have  you ever named your vehicles? What did you name them?

Since I don’t have any vehicle, just my own two feet :P I don’t get to name it. However, if I had, I would chose a really badass name like Char. Something like “Wheels on Fire” or “Lucky”. It would be so cool. I would be like, Ok, guys, I’m gonna get “Lucky”. LoL I would tottaly ride that joke till the bonne. Get it? To the bonne. *giggle*

3.  Charley says her name "...brooks no opposition. It takes shit from no one."  What do you think your name says about you to strangers?  Is there a different name that you think would suit you better?

First of all, NOBODY has a badass name like Char. She has hit the jackpot of names. Mine, however, is not that kickass. When people hear my name, they usually go like “What?” And they keep giving me nicknames, cose they can’t remember it. Sooo lame. I end up with a bunch of nicknames. But, if I could pick a name, it would be a really badass . Something like Ferrari or something. Oh, I guess that’s more a stripper name. :P

4.  Charley says her best friend Cookie is "like Kramer from Seinfeld, only not so nervous, like Kramer might have been on Prozac."  Give us your best description of your best friend.  How would they would describe you?

I would describe my bff as Rachel without the singing. Yep, she is all nice and churchgoing and so, so, so not bad at all. She makes me look soooo bad :P

How would she describe me? She already had: a cartoon. Yep, she said I do all that faces and exaggeration of a real life cartoon. *giggle*

5.  Garrett is reluctant to believe in Charley's abilities, how would you react if a friend divulged to you that they can see and speak with the dead?

I would be real cool about it and say something like, yeah, ok. However, on the inside, I would be really freaked out. Eventually, of coarse, I'd accept and be cool with that. It's my friend we are talking about, anyway.

Now, lets to the next week questions that yours trully (me *-*) came up and they are awesome:

1 - Shiny objects and old family stories are told in this chapter, including an old nickname for our dear Charley. What was the nickname her uncle Bob gave her when she was little? Do you have an old nickname from when you were a kid? You can share it, and if it's really embarrassing we won't mind. *wink*

2 - In this chapter we met someone. A really special guy named Rocket. Now, my memory is not what it used to be, and I just can't remember what makes him so special. Can you tell me what makes this particular ghost unique among all the others? And how about you? What can you do that makes you special? Anything? Jump on one foot for a really long time counts. *giggle*

3 - Charley is really *cough* not your ordinary girl. She does something that, well, there's no way around it. She named parts of her body and the names are... oh crap, I forgot. Just my luck. *sigh* But I'm sure you guys can say what part of her body she named and what the names were. And, since we are on the matter, have you ever named a part of your body? If so, what was it and what was the name? Come on, don't

be shy. *wink+crooked smile*

4 - We all have our little secrets. Things we don't tell anyone, not even our bff. Char (we became close :P ) is no different, but in this chapter she shared her little (big) secret (S) with her bff. What did you think about her reaction? What would be yours?

5 - In this chapter, Char continues her heart-to-heart with her BFF and comes up with some theories about our fave badboy/possibly ghost. What do you think of it? Can it be? What do you think about him? Hot? Double chocolate hot? Super duper caramel chocolate cake with a cherry on top hot?

Awesome, right? See?I told yah!

Ok, this is it for today. I can't wait to read your answers Yeyyyy \o/
