No not actually there, but you'll have to ask Jasmin because I've forgotten the rules.

Clo (cuppaclo) | 14 comments It's alright it was just because i am in the Uk so if it were to be in the actual state - it would be impossible for me to complete the task. ;)

Oh ok. Where in the UK do you live? I was born there :)

Luton! I was actually born on the day of The Queen Mother's birthday, and miraculously, she was born next to Luton, in Hitchin!

Clo (cuppaclo) | 14 comments That's funny you being born on the same day as, The Queen's Mother's birthday and right near to where she was born, do you live in America now then?

Unfortunately, yes I do. I wish I was back in Luton, though! :(

Clo (cuppaclo) | 14 comments Why what's wrong with America? It rains most of the time in the UK - trust me you aren't missing much of the weather. Although you would only be about 30 miles from London - so unless you really wanted to visit London - or get the view of the rolling country side and busy cities; you really aren't missing much here. ;)

It rains all the time where I am, and I just don't like it. I've had bad experiences in schools (not bullying or anything, pretty much teacher problems) and I just don't like it. If I had to choose, I would either live in England, Japan, Australia, or LA. LA is the only place in America I would want to live. I really really miss London though, because I love the greenery and just everything. I've gone back quite a few times, and I wish I could stay there. Have you visited America before?

Clo (cuppaclo) | 14 comments Nope the only time I have been abroad was when I was 4, we went to Disney Land Paris, France was the only place I have been abroad. But I would really like to visit America at some point, as well as Canada, which state are you in - in America? The greenery is a major bonus, peace and quiet to read and write my stories.

Awww lucky! I wish I could go to Disney Land Paris, France, becuase Michael Jackson supposedly signed his name under the skirt of Wendy from Peter Pan! I sooooo want to see that. I'm in North Carolina. The weather is soooo bipolar omg. One day, it's snowing. The next it's sunny and it's 72 degrees Fahrenheit. After that, it's raining sleet and ice, then the next it's cold but the sun is out. In my old house in Luton, we had this HUGE hill that was filled with yellow flowers that have now turned green over the years and it's so beautiful <3 What was it like in Paris? Do you remember? I've been to the Disney Land in Florida and I ahd a lot of fun even though I don't remember a lot.

Clo (cuppaclo) | 14 comments In Paris it was very busy - the rides there were cool - I remember I went their with my parents and grandparents and we met some of the characters. I had a fractured wrist at the time and I remember me liking Robin Hood - but I hated Captain Hook. And the funny part was Captain Hook wanted to know if I needed a hook because of my wrist.

So that's probably all I can remember about Paris, speaking of the weather, one day at school it was sunny, the next it bucketing it down with rain, which then changed to hail! The weather really can't make up it's mind can it? ;)

If you could go to once place in America, what would it be?


message 18: by Clo (new)

Clo (cuppaclo) | 14 comments That's a tough one, either California, LA or New York. I'd probably go there on my travels as I head up to Canada - which is somewhere I have always wanted to go. Apart from England where else would you want to go and why?

Australia because it's sounds epic, Japan because I love it (I'm probably gonna live there when I'm older; I'm already learning Japanese!) LA because of the sun and the beaches, and England because of the greenery!

Clo (cuppaclo) | 14 comments Nice places, personally either Scotland because of the hills and wildlife or Canada because of the ranches - I am into horses and horse riding. Speaking of Japan did you know that they have at least 3 earthquakes everyday! They also have earthquake drills, so everyone knows what to do when a real one hits. Interesting how our world works isn't it?

I do know about the earthquakes! But I guess I'll get used to it. It is pretty interesting, actually!

Clo (cuppaclo) | 14 comments Yeah I guess you would after a while, and our world is just full of surprises is it not; just like books are! ;)
