Intro to a world of randomness

So...if you are reading this you will shortly realize that i just started this and if you continue to read in a few moments you will realize that the intro to randomness wasn't a joke(and that i hate capitalizing words).So in short i would like to welcome you and ask for your forgivness if i don't post very often, i don't get online very often.Secondly i will explain the riceballs part of the address; so strap into a completely random story. So to begin with let me introduce my friends...Tuna Riceball (also known as jackette), Catfish Riceball (i don't think she has another name...maybe...maybe not) and of corse Cod Riceball (also known as Jaki or me).(these of course aren't our real names if they were i would have some interesting and not all that respectful "questions" for our parents.) Well the story is that we were thinking that we needed a name for ourselves since we always hung around each other. We got our name for the Fruits Basket series (manga in case your wondering). For you who haven't read the book, no the book is not about a basket of fruit, it is a tale of a young girl with the ability to overcome any hardships in her life with an optimistic outlook. This girl, tohru honda, meets a family with a curse that causes them to turn into animals when hugged by the opposite sex. I'm going to skip a lot of the story now...so in the book she has a flashback to her childhood where she was in school and they were playing a game,fruits basket(similar to that farmer game...i forgot the name...but the one where every person if named after an animal or object on the farm...oh well) anyway in short all the people in the game are named after fruit and they call her a riceball, which in case you don't realize would never belong in a basket of fruit. At the time she doesn't realize that they are teasing her and as she get older the riceball situation often arises in her life, also through out the story the riceball is often used in symbolism. So the reason me and my friends chose that name is because it implies that every one is an outcast from one group or another. (Post me if you want more of the story)

P.S. if you have any book suggestions for me to read please post

P.P.S. i am open for any discussions about book

Hey Shi, this is what the inside of that book I told you about on the phone says. The book is called, "True Talents." Its the second book, I haven't read the first one yet. LOL! Don't you love how we tend to do that? Read the books out of order. Anyways, here it is...

'Every talent has a price...
It's been over a year since fourteen-year-old Eddie "Trash" Thalmeyer and his friends from Edgeview Alternative School found out about their special hidden talents. Trash can move things with his mind; Torchi is a fire-starter; Cheater reads minds; Lucky finds lost objects; Flinch can predict the future; and Martin can see into people's souls. Now back home with their families, all the boys want to do is get back to their normal lives, start attending high school, and keep in touch with their friends from Edgeview.
When Trash tests his power in a bank and accidentally steals a fistful of cash, he is kidnapped by the ruthless leader of a shadowy company whose purpose is to gather information about psychic phenomena-and who is willing to do anything to get it....Torchi, Cheater, Lucky, Flinch, and Martin join forces to rescue their friend by using their hidden talents and discover their true talents in the process.'

The book was pretty good. I liked it enough to where I'll probably buy it. Along with the millions of other books I want to buy.
