he writes teen novels, The Alex Rider Series: Stormbreaker, Eagle Strike, Skeleton Key, Scorpia, Ark Angel, and i cant remember the other one. And he writes the Gatekeeper series, So far there is only two: Raven's gate, and Evil Star. And the any of the diamond brother mysteries.. he is a great author. They are making a movie after the first book in the alex rider series, Stormbreaker. he is my favorite author next to C.S. Lewis and Eoin Colfer.

You almost got it. Just flipped the r and the o. I know how to crochet but I'm not very good at it. Is knitting harder?

when i read the word crochet i always think of a crotch. Then she talked about socks. THEN i thought about the red hot chili peppers. NOW I have no idea where I'm going with this.

Ha! That makes me think of the streakers at my old high school. They liked to pull the one sock stunt.

Geez you must have gone to a pretty liberal school. You SO would have gotten expelled for that at either of my high schools.

They did usually get expelled. But the students would always throw up a big deal to try to get them out of it. They would make t-shirts, bumper stickers and write on stuff to let that person come back to school.

It was pretty awsome. I really liked that we had a lot of class spirit as opposed to school spirit. Graduation was pretty sad. We had a huge class though. Almost 800 people.

I'm missing something, but I've learned that that's not always a bad thing.
Aren't the Red Hot Chilli Peppers a band? They sound like a band.
No, no, never mind, don't tell me.
Anyway.
Time spending tip:
card games.
Seriously.
Pinochle and whist and clobberjaws (or however it's spelled!) and piquet and cribbage and...
Well, anyway, card games are fun and spend time.

Solitaire card games can be fun, too -and there are a LOT of them. I even know two hand-held versions!

That's hard -I only bother when I'm playing the "cheater" way -which is that it doesn't matter which suit cards are, you simply have to get a sequence.
Anyway, Spider Solitaire is one of the two-deck games. If you're going to bother with that, I recommend Once in a Lifetime instead. Now, granted, it's called that because you only win it Once in a Lifetime, but still! It's much more fun!
