Car'a'Carn 04-28-2011 04:09 AM

Kat - Aw well... It'll be that much sweeter when you get around to reading them after your exams! :yes:

Taiyo - *gasps* :o Taiyo?! Are you really dead?!? *pokes Taiyo to see if she's dead*

TaiyoTsuki 04-28-2011 04:23 AM

QUIT POKING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :illgetu:

Car'a'Carn 04-28-2011 05:10 AM

AHHHHHH!!!!! :gonk: That's not nice to die and then wake up suddenly scaring people like that!!! :illgetu:

Skittles&&Rainbows159 04-28-2011 06:52 AM

*runs in and hides*

Car'a'Carn 04-28-2011 03:16 PM

Did anyone else see someone run by? :shock:

TaiyoTsuki 04-30-2011 02:36 AM

Yep, and she was in her underwear.

And that's what you get for poking me!

Car'a'Carn 04-30-2011 03:46 AM

I thought so!! :o

jeez... How come everyone can poke me but everyone gets to beat me up when I poke them?! :(

TaiyoTsuki 04-30-2011 05:02 AM

I didn't beat you up...just yelled at you to stop poking me.
And the way I reacted is WHY you never poke a dead person...they might come back to life.

Car'a'Carn 04-30-2011 05:06 AM

:stare: as good as... :lol:
Well how was I supposed to know?! :gonk: Nearly scared me to death...

`Kitami 04-30-2011 09:10 PM

Well, I could beat you up instead of poking you, Carnie. :?

Car'a'Carn 05-01-2011 05:55 AM

Ehh? ahh ha, no no! That's quite alright!!! Poking will do just fine!! ^^!

TaiyoTsuki 05-01-2011 06:05 AM

Yeah, especially since the poor guy's still recovering from all the other times he's been beaten up.

*is wrapping carn in duct tape*

Car'a'Carn 05-01-2011 07:34 AM

Whaa?? Wait!! What are you doing?! How did you get me wrapped up in duct tape without me noticing?!? :o

Guivre 05-01-2011 07:36 AM

Hmm, it's probably time for me to start a new book challenge, though I don't know if late spring is the best time to start one.

TaiyoTsuki 05-01-2011 08:13 AM

As long as you keep track of what month you started in, it's fine.

@ Carm: 'Cause I'm a ninja!

Car'a'Carn 05-01-2011 05:43 PM

Guivre - Well summer is only a month or so off right? Maybe that would be a good time to get it rolling with your summer reading! :yes:

Taiyo - :gonk: Dang you!!! :illgetu: *struggles to break free from the tape* You're just as bad as everyone else :( Though I gotta give you, a bit more creative :yes:

TaiyoTsuki 05-01-2011 11:26 PM

*keeps on wrapping*

Would you rather be mummy-wrapped in duct tape or constantly getting beaten up?

*moves onto the legs*

PapillonCameo 05-02-2011 12:17 AM

*cuts tape and sets free* Hey, why not just leave him alone?

TaiyoTsuki 05-02-2011 03:42 AM

Awwww....*pouty*

Ah, well. *searches for another victim to use the tape on*

Car'a'Carn 05-02-2011 05:06 AM

Taiyo - Uh.. Can I have a minute to think about it?? :O

Papillon - Oh thank you thank you thank you!!! My Hero!

Taiyo - Oh look! I see someone over there! :yes: Quick! If you run you can catch up with them! :sweat:
