This is hard, because I read a lot and I love a lot of books but lets see..
1. The Books Of Beginnings series
2. Erec Rex series
3. Spiderwick Chronicles
4. Hatchet series (like Brian's Winter)
(I'm trying to think of the books I've read more recently)
5. Emily Windsnap series
6. Dead End in Norvelt
7. Miss Spitfire
8. The Beaded Moccasins
9. Fern Verdant and The Silver Rose
10. Our Only May Amelia

These might not be my Very very favorite, but They are really good. I was having a hard time remembering what ones were my favorites. Well some of them were really easy, but others not so much.

Anyone else getting that severe weather?
Today at my first softball game, the ref had to call it quits because there was nearly black, very ominous storm clouds passing directly overhead. Plus lightning of course.
And It was a Squal Line!

Sure! I live in Las Cruces NM and it is super hot and dry here. I really like it here but I didn't before. Here in Las Cruces, it is already climbing into the hundreds everyday. When we were hearing about snow in the east, we were wearing summer clothes here. When blizzards were rolling across the country, we were in sweatshirts with temperatures in the fifties. But despite the heat, I love New Mexico. I'm proud to say I'm from New Mexico because we were the main reason World War II was ended. There are two major ways in which New Mexico contributed to the war effort.

1: How many of you guys have heard of the Navajo Code Talkers? It's not mentioned much in history books but the Code Talkers developed a secret language that was used to hide information from the enemy. The Navajo language is so complex that the Japanese couldn't crack the messages we were sending! So next time you learn about history ask your teacher about the Navajo Code talkers and I'm sure they'll be very impressed! :)

2: The second reason you are probably familiar with. The Atomic Bomb ended the war when we dropped them on two Japanese towns. I am not proud of the fact that we resorted to such measures to end the war but I can say that I am proud of the knowledge NM holds for being able to produce it. The bomb was called "The Manhattan Project" and it was created in Los Alamos NM, which now is home to the highest average salary in the country. The scientists at Los Alamos worked on the bomb and then tested it at the Trinity sight which is at White Sands National Monument. White Sands is beautiful and only about a half an hour from where I live! You should look up White Sands because it's really beautiful!

I'm sorry that was really lengthy but I'm really passionate about history and I like the rest of the country to know that New Mexico is more prominent than some might think. Can you believe that I've actually been asked how I got across the border because people think New Mexico is still part of Mexico!

If you guys want to know more about NM, let me know. But just to warn you, I might write you an essay as a response! ;)

Hey Guys! I'm going to try to think of some unique questions to ask you.

First though, how old are you?

What is a quirky habit of yours?

If you were able to travel back in time, just once, where would you go and what would you do there?

What makes you laugh?

Have you ever been told you look like someone famous? If so, who was it?

What would you leave in your will for the person you love most?

Hope you guys like these questions. I tried to think of something besides the usual "what's your favorite color?" :)

12

I bend my fingers over and over again when I am nervous or bored.

I would want to meet Leonardo Da Vinci, and ask him some questions.

Anything, but especially my siblings.

I have been told by 7 different people that I look like Audrey Hepburn, if I wear my hair in a high ponytail.

My piano.

Your questions were awesome!

Tressa's picture
Tressa May 30, 2013 - 7:26pm

1. Im 11, 12 in August
2. I don't really know, this might not be considered a habit, but at night when im going to bed, I have to make sure that the lights on the neighbors garages are on, otherwise I kinda get freaked out a little bit.
3. Uuuuuummmm lets see, maybe to when Helen Keller was around, I would kinda like to meet her.
4. When my friend laughs about the littlest things that I wouldn't necesarily think are funny. Or when I'm watching "Charlie the Unicorn" on Youtube
5. Can't say anyone has. Wait! I think one time one of my friends told me I look like Victoria Justice when I smile.
6. I really don't know. Sorry thats my answer for a lot of your questions.

Your questions were good! Hard,(because some of those you dont really think about) but good!

I like answering questions like these.

Rachel Catherine's picture
Rachel Catherine May 31, 2013 - 8:46am

Thanks! I do the same thing with the lights under my door when I go to bed! :)

Tressa June 6, 2013 - 8:44am

Also I feel a lot safer when I'm sleeping and I'm under the covers. If I'm to hot for them, then I put something between my legs like a pillow.
I really don't know why, but certain things like that make me feel safer. :)

Hi Eliana - We had looked into this feature last year, but it was difficult to add into the current version of software we are using. Upgrading the website is a big job - we will see again if there is any other way to make this happen.

You have been sending us some great ideas - we will work on some of the others you have suggested over summer.
