Hi! Since there are quite a few new members, I thought I would introduce myself. 1. I love reading, and my favorite authors are Rick Riordan, Liz Braswell, and Elizabeth Lim. 2. I am in 7th grade, and my favorite subject is ELA. 3. I love animals, and I have a 16 year old dog named Yoshi. 4. Although it may seem odd, I really like doing contortion. 5. I love anything Disney related! I can't wait to meet all of you! :D

Ok, firstly, LOVE Rick Riordan! One of my fav authors, too! Second, LOVE ELA, too! Third, LOVE animals, too! But my parents are allergic so I can’t have a dog :( Fourth, I know some people that do contortion! I didn’t know you did that! That’s so cool! Not odd at all! And fifth, I think Disney’s awesome, too! (I added all the “too”s on purpose 😝

That is so cool how we have so many things in common! Also that's neat how you know some people who do contortion! I don't personally know anyone who does it!

Cool my favorite subject is ELA, too! What is contortion btw?
philliesphan287 philliesphan287

Contortion is extreme flexibility where people bend into sorta like odd and unnatural positions. Since I have high ADHD, contortion seems to help me when I feel an urge to move around fidget.
