If I had a super power, it would be…
Flying… I would love to just be able to fly whenever I wanted to.
Your really awesome Mr. Reid, accept for the Illinois part
Actually, the Illinois part is what makes me awesome!
Soo it was TYLER that said the ‘Mr. Reid is awesome thing’!!
You rock Mr. Reid!
Oh and I love V for Vendetta. The masked guy is just a little bit messed up, though.
Only a bit.
Mr. Reid, I think it would be a swell idea if you grow out your beard. You could hide pencils in it and stuff like that. Then you could put gel in it for crazy hair day. I have a ton of ideas, but I don’t have the time to say them all. So if you consider my idea, I’ll tell you my other ideas.
Mr Reid, dont listen to Tyler, growing a beard is not a good idea. You could poke your chin if you hide pencils in it!
What would Allison know about beards?
For your favorite hobbies, you forgot “roping dodos.” Or were you LYING!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!! ‘Cause if you were, you know, you’re in BIG trouble.
Tyler, you never know what Alison would know about beards. You never know…
Also, for hobbies, you forgot roasting small critters in your [now broken] Kenmore…
How come my icon is the only uncolorific looking one? It doesn’t look very pretty =-(
Mr Reid, what would you feel as you were flying and looking down? Exhilaration? Superiority (lol)?
Justin, to answer your question: Yes. Yes.
Justin, you icon depicts your soul.
nahh……I kid. I kid. You deserve a better icon
MR> REID MR<REID I WANT YOU TO BE MY FRIEND ON FACE BOOK! I SENT YOU A REQUEST! I NEED MORE FRIENDS!
Tut tut Tyler. Getting a little desperate now, aren’t we? Also, MY ICON DEPICTS MY SOUL??!! ARE YOU OKAY, TYLER??
I am truly scared. I think that Tyler has become a zombie. Ready to utilize chair or desk against him? …check!
It sure is a good thing you read us the Zombie Emergency Procedure or whatever it’s called. In tough times, people become __________ [fill in the blank and use your imagination (or what little we have!)].
What blog responses are we supposed to be looking for?
Do we need to do that Literary Analysis Paper in the back of the packet of chapter questions? You just said to finish The Outsiders.
Halloween is here. Brrrrrrrr. Sure is cold.
