So, this is MY week and I have some really fun questions for you, guys.
Here are
the questions for Week Two and my answers:
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*
Hum, let me think. *scratch head* I think is something really, really... Ok, I'll stop here with the cute babblish stuff. You already know I know the answer. I was the one that came up with the questions. So, I'll just say it and that's it. Her nick was .... the name that was used by a very kick ass girl Jenny, Calamity Jenny.Isn't that cool? LoL When I was a kid I had a few nicks, but mostly, they were related to the fact that I was (and still am) white as a ghost. So it was names like snow, ghost child and etc. Yep, great times, great times. LoL
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*
Oh, Rocket is really special, he can see and know what nobody does: the dead. I mean, he got a job, a really important job. He writes down the name of the people that died. How does he know who and how they died? Me and Char have no idea. But he totally does. What is unique about me? Oh, well, I make the best hot chocolate evah and I also can make up a crazy story like you wouldn't imagine. *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*
My, oh my. She named her boobies, dude! And it was so cool. LoLThe right one is Danger and the left one is Will Robinson. LoL I haven't named any part of me, yet. But I'm considering. Maybe my feet. They really are a kick ass pair, you know. LoL It would be something like Thunder and Trip to assville. Thunder likes to make a fuzz, and Trip to assville just like to go to the ville, to the assville and kick some ass. *wink*
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?
Her reaction was the one of a true friend and I trully envied their relationship in this chapter. For realz. I wish I could say I would react the same way, or better, but that were some crazy ass secretes she told her. A real punch in the face.
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?
I don't know what to say or in what to believe at this point,but one thing I have absolutely certain. 100% sure of it. That is a crazy / hot / sexy / scary / freak-me-out /I-would-rip-your-clothes-off mother f....
Ok, this is it for today. I hope my answers amused you at least a little. I can't wait to read your answers Yeyyyy \o/
PS.: I pinky promise I'll stop by your blogs and will leave a comment. So sorry is taking me so long.
XoXo






Lol - they were just jealous of your awesome paleness. You should've showed them Thunder and Trip to assville. ;D
ReplyDeleteLoL Thanx. Yeah, I should, but I was too shy to do that. If that was today *boooooom* it would be a different kind of story LoL
DeleteHm... now I'm wanting a hot chocolate. Mmmmmm
ReplyDeleteGreat feet names. Oh and I can't wait to see what you think of Reyes when you find out what he is... :)
When I make some I'll send it your way :P
DeleteOh, Reyes *sigh* actually I already finish reading this, but I'm reading again cose is sooooooo good and Reyes is even better the second time around. *wink*
I am very pale but never had any nicknames about it...anyways, good names you picked there for your feet. :)
ReplyDeleteThanx Veronica :) I like to name stuff. Just ask my 10 dogs :P
DeleteI'm also very pale but usually it's only mentioned when I do venture outside for a while (like 10 minutes) and start turning pink. So I tend to shun most outdoor activities and curl up with my latest read.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know the feeling. When I go out in the sun with my friends they go like "oh, my eyes, my eyes." What they mean by this? I'm so pale that I reflect the sun in their eyes and that hurt. Yep, they can be mean like that :P
DeleteCalamity Jane is a cute nickname, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI know right? LoL
DeleteI can totally relate with the pale nicknames! I love that you are going to name your feet that is great. Oh I am sure you are good at telling stories like the one you guest posted on my blog! We need to do that again! Ok spill it I want your hot chocolate recipe. You made me laugh today :)
ReplyDeleteThanx Heidi :)
DeleteI don't mind the pale nicknames. Besides, I love a vamp story and they are all pale and they don't seem to mind at all :P
The chocolate recipe :P ok, I'll think about it :P
Glad I made you laugh :-D
Yea for great feet. Great names for them. Love my feet too. I'll have to think of some names.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Fun answers, Lila :D I'd name my toes =P It's fun to name feet too xD
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that body named their body parts until I met Charley. SO weird!
ReplyDeleteI was a little behind but I finally caught up! I don't know what to think of Reyes - so far I just find him creepy, and a bit of an asshole. But I completely cracked up when I heard what Charley calls her boobs!
