Hi Jena! Just completed all my activities and entries last night and dropped all of them on Miss Holly’s sites [http://jahangiri.us/books/2009/12/contest/comment-page-1/#comment-44]. Is these a valid entry for your additional contest?
Hi Japaul,

k3vz not kelvz…ahahaha
Ay, okay pala, K3vz…do you want to comment more? or ask more questions? Go ahead.
I joined and posted a comment on author’s site… Just wanna share it here:
~~~~~~
Hope, I am not yet late to join the contest. I have linked your website to mine. You can find anchor text Jahangiri Books on my right side bar under LINK ‘N PARK. Overcashed
I also have one question for you: If you are not to write books about kids and for the kids, what would it be? Why?
And my favorite pet? A puppy! Haha. We have lots of dogs at home. Local breeds but they look really good and I love playing with them. They are interactive pets and they are fun to be with. Puppies are sweet too. I love how they jump on me when I return home and it is really funny to see their tails wag as I leave. They always make me feel like a kid. Having a pet can make someone ageless!
~~~~~~~~
@ Jena, your site is also listed on my side bar already under Linking You. ^_^
Liz, you may want to join in my contest too, the question for the author and comment.
I hope you have also done the alexa review for her..and the other requirements. Good luck.
HI! Should I ask a different question here and on her site? If so, this would be my question here: To Holly Jahangiri – Irma’s character seems to be full of emotions, by any chance, have you felt the same when you was still a kid? By then, have you ever imagined yourself writing a book such as this one?
Absolutely! I’m pretty sure I wanted a unicorn, and I’m pretty sure my parents said, “No!” Actually, I did get to have a cat and two dogs when I was a kid, and I had a Java dove when I was a teenager, but my parents weren’t especially EAGER to add these members of the household, as I recall. (We all grew to love them, of course.) But I can certainly relate and remember the emotions – working up the nerve to ask, the bitter disappointment of “No” – the willingness to compromise…
Actually, now that you remind me, there WAS an incident when I was a kid that sort of inspired this (and I’m sure my dad’s going to read this and raise an eyebrow, but he probably figured it out ages ago, and I’m 46 now so he can’t exactly turn me over his knee)… I wanted this little white mouse in the worst way. Bought it with my own money for maybe a couple of dollars. THEN thought to ask if it was okay. “No.” Whoops. Well, um, hm. I hid that mouse for days, and should’ve named him Houdini for all the times he escaped (turns out a dresser drawer isn’t the most secure rodent habitat) but always managed to catch him again. Carried him around in an otherwise empty purse. Finally put a friend of mine up to playing the role of Jimmy – gave him the mouse in a Play-Doh container and had him bring it by and ask if I could keep it, because he wasn’t allowed to. And at that point, my parents sort of reluctantly said, “Fine, okay.” Houdini finally escaped – for the last time – from a cage suspended from the basement ceiling. We figure he survived (and enjoyed what was left of his mousy little life), because we kept trapping all these speckled brown and white mice…
Haha. Your childhood story made my day. I am laughing for real. I haven’t imagine any mouse to be an ideal pet. Maybe the one at Ratatouille(did I spell it right), that mouse chef will do! I am lucky that my parents allow us to take care any domesticated animals of some sort. I have had a rabbit, parrot, cats, dogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs. When I was a kid, I remember taking care of little turtles! Oh well, I don’t want to be nostalgic but yeah, I miss being a kid. Haha. Right now, what I have are stuffed toys in the forms of teddy bear, bunny and turtle. I had fun reading your post. ^_^
This is for real huh,Holly? he he he..kidding,,really, of all pets- a mouse! Yucky….he he he..I wouldn’t dare touch those little, creepy creatures….
That could be another story for a book Holly.
Mickey Mouse and the Fetching Guppies..lol…ummm, okay. I shall close my trap now.
