Alright, another fact time! 1. Peanut butter is hard to find outside the U.S.- many people in other countries don't like the taste. 2. James Abram Garfield, former U.S. President, could write Latin with one hand and Greek with the other at the same time. 3. Castle stairways usually go up clockwise, so people defending the castle could come down carrying swords in their right hands. 4. It would take more than 1,500 human hearts to equal the weight of a blue whale's heart! 5. An 11-year-old girl asked Abraham Lincoln to grow his famous beard. 6. Black widow spiders are more poisonous than rattlesnakes. 7. Diners eat surrounded by 22 occupied graves at a restaurant in India. 8. A piece of music in Germany is being played so slowly it won't finish until 2640. 9. Every dolphin has a signature whistle it uses to identify itself. 10. Crossing your arms reduces pain in your body by confusing left and right signals in your brain.

Do you think if you favorite singer/band sang your least-favorite song, you would like it?
YES! Anything sung by Alex Boye or Vocal Point goes right to the top of my playlist!
same here, once i get a owl city on the computer, it goes into my ipod right away
Hmm... that's an interesting question. I think so... Imagine Dragons could make any annoying song sound cool. Good question!
Does anyone have any trouble finding books? If you do, I'll help. An author told me she thinks Eragon is good. Or visit your local Barnes & Noble or Books-a-Million or anything in your area. But like I said, I'm your girl.
That's great! I like realistic fiction. What would you recommend?
Out of my Mind is good. And please tell your friends about me!:)
