Definitly I nightbird! Its so nice to see so many fellow nightbirds. I thank god at least had the choice at work to work days or nights and of course..I chose nights. On my nights off I still seem to fall into bed when the sun starts to rise.
Something so peaceful about the night.....

LOL!!! Ohmygod...I totally read Sweet Valley High....looking back, some of those were terrible books. Ever read the one where they got shipwrecked?? And I don't ever remember them having parents. I mean, I know they had parents but they were never around at all...lol. Oh wow, come to think of it, I even watched the TV series and I still remember the theme song....lol. Missing triplet...lol..that's great Jessica # 2...you cracked me up w/that

I met you for like, 2.5 seconds in DC on post concert high but from what I remember, yea, you could pass for the missing Wakefield (was that their last name??) lol

I never read those books (though I know the titles from when I managed a bookstore years ago), but it sounds like the characters are related to the Peanuts gang with the absentee adults.

One of the things I always liked about the Peanuts was that their teacher (the only adult) squawked and didn't talk---kind of like real life, "wa wa, wa wa wa wa wa wa, wa wa wa wa wa wa wa"...lol...even when they had adults in the Peanuts (in the movie where they go to Europe, there is a Frenchman) you never see their faces, only like, a hand or a shadow or a squawky voice....lol...it was weird

Yeah, I love these kids all making Thanksgiving dinner plans themselves. Where the hell is CPS in their world? And I'm sorry, but where I come from, the fire marshall would have fined Charlie's ass for that fire hazard of a dog house Snoopy decorated at Christmas time.

There are times in my classroom when I feel like I'm communicating about as clearly as that teacher, though.

A Yankee in Texas, it's a learning experience.

I'm sorry to say that I am as familiar with Sweet Valley High, Sweet Valley Twins, all other assorted Sweets, and of course the Babysitter Club catalogue!

My sister was as big a fan as any and devoured these books

I'm glad to say I've only ever read one SVH story and the first BBC book (I must have been desperate

) but now in retrosepct I pity my parents having to fork out so much for those massive series - there was hundreds of them

Finishing off the new Harry Potter had me up late the other night!!

lol seriously!!! and they lived in sweet valley in southern california and the area where i lived in socal (even though the city had a different name) was called pleasant valley.... i swore i belonged in their world... and yeah wakefield was their last name... and they had an older brother named Steven i think... and if you promise not to tell... about 2 or 3 years ago i went and bought two of the sweet valley university books... lol... and read them... and seriously... enjoyed them. lol... one of those strange guilty pleasures... did you ever read any of the sweet valley history books? they had a couple that went back in their family lineage and there were other sets of twins further back on their mother's side... and one of the sets was named Jessamyn and Elizabeth... and one was in the french resistance in WWII... oh gosh i gotta stop. i loved those books.

Clearly I'm in the wrong business.

Anybody want to make a lot of money helping me write a long middle reader series?

Maybe Sweet Penguin High about 16 band members in their teenage years.

Or perhaps the American Silver Girl series, with books about each Stevie song character (Rhiannon, Sara, Lily, Julia, Juliet, Joan, Jane, Amber, Annabel Lee, etc.) In the first book, Sara & Lily panic when they accidentally let loose their triplet Rhiannon's three birdies. Will the birds be found before their sister gets home from the Black Forest Malt Shop? In the next book, the big prom is coming up, and Amber refuses to buy a new dress. Can her sisters persuade her to ditch the black gown she never takes off?

This has potential!

Do I hear NY Times best seller???

Of course, the success of the book series will lead us to putting out a line of dolls complete with several outfit changes (except Amber, she only wears black dress...they have a very complex relationship). LOL!!

I think my favorite doll will have a string on her back. When you pull it, she has spasms, grabs her shawl, and wails gibberish. She's part of the Moon Sisters of Mirage series.

I don't even think I have a response to that other than the laughy faces. That's good stuff

My threads just never stick to the topic!
And I take no responsibility for that.

You're not like other ledgies, your thread goes where it wants to.

I feel some song parodies coming on....must contain self...lol

You folks are cracking me up!

Oh, and Jake, I think it can be fun when a thread veers off from its original topic. I once likened it to a conversation with friends, where you may wander off in all kinds of directions in the subject-matter, but eventually all roads lead back to the original thing you began discussing.
