which Friends character are you?
you're rachel...sophisticated and cosmopolitan, but a little on the shallow side. your friends envy the ease with which you attract members of the opposite sex, but they know they'll always come first. Take this quiz!
Kristin You are KRiSTiN!! She's a down-to-earth girl with all the guys in the palm of her hand. she loves to have a great time and hates fake girls. she takes herself seriously and knows how she should be treated.
the sun also rises, sleepers, a season in purgatory, beach music, the hotel new hampshire, the great gatsby, gossip girl series, this side of paradise, the beautiful and damned, the devil wears prada, summer sisters, silent witness, degree of guilt, i am probably leaving out so many...
Ledare You are the Homecoming Queen, the cheerleader, the hometown sweetheart. You are beautiful and guys flock to you, but you seem to go back and forth between just a couple you've known forever. You've been hurt by guys but it has made you stronger. You are mentally stable and trustworthy and would do anything for a friend, no matter what it might cost you. You let your emotions show plainly and aren't afraid of them. You sometimes go hard after what you want, but sometimes you know it is best to wait for things to play their course or just happen in time. You are focused on the present and don't have regrets. You want a boyfriend who is your best friend.

Spin the Bottle is a prequel to Everything Happens for a Reason.... The series centers on Jill, Hilton, and Todd in high school, and has several other main characters who are not part of Everything Happens for a Reason.... Here is a quick description:
For Jill Sherer, high school's shaping up to be better than she could've imagined. From the first week of cheerleading practice, she and her best friends Hillary and Lorylyn are included in a circle of popular girls who open the door to a world of exciting social possibilities. And on the first day of school, Jill meets Todd - hot, smart, athletic, funny, and a flirt - the boy of her dreams.
But things with Todd don't go as Jill had hoped, she and Hillary drift apart, and her circle of friends is shaken by Lorylyn's new boyfriend. Desperate to get things back to the way they were, Jill, along with her new best friend Hilton - a gorgeous, intriguing girl who is the link between her old friends and her new ones - anxiously awaits the one thing that never changes...Landon Kessler's parties.
There, on a lake outside town, everyone comes together time after time for dancing, drinking, skinny-dipping, and spin the bottle. Spin the bottle...the game that leads to new loves, bitter jealousies, betrayals, and breakups. The game that teasingly draws the circle of friends together, only to rip them apart in unforeseeable ways. But they keep coming back, some with hope, some with malevolence, some with amused interest, to be part of the saga that unfolds over three years. Until finally, at Landon's last party, the shattering secret is revealed that breaks the circle forever. And as Landon and his friends go off to college, Jill, Hilton, Lorylyn, Hillary, and Todd are left to pick up the pieces and try to salvage their senior year.

Hilton You are outgoing and a leader in your group of friends. You love to meet new people and try new things. You also love to travel. You read the opposite sex very easily and have a lot of guy friends. You are generous and unassming, and therefore everyone loves you. You are somewhat daring and impulsive. You are friends with everyone and the life of the party. You are the girl every boy wants to be with and every girl wants to be more like.

My first novel (published in 2005) is called Everything Happens for a Reason.... It is about a group of college friends.
Here is the back cover copy:
Jill, the “good girl," who wasn’t going to have sex until she was in love… Hilton, her best friend, the one who believes everything happens for a reason… Laney and Natalie, their college roommates… Adam, the fun-loving, irresistible playboy Jill has a crush on… Luke, Hilton’s boyfriend of two-and-a-half years… Todd, Jill’s other best friend and the boy she loved for five years, even though he never knew it. All living it up and having the times of their lives on two college campuses in the Midwest. Parties, bars, crazy spring breaks. Friendships and relationships that seem like they’ll last forever.
But one night will forever change the lives of every one of them. One careless moment, one thoughtless decision, will tangle the string connecting them into a thick, intricate web of secrets, lies, gossip, and betrayal. This is a story of tested friendships, lost trust, things left unsaid, and the struggle to believe that everything happens for a reason when the reason is impossible to imagine. It is a story of discovering that nothing is ever as it seems and that even the best of friends can hide the worst of secrets. And it is a story about broken dreams…
You can buy the book at barnesandnoble.com, borders.com, amazon.com, iuniverse.com (the publisher's website), Borders in Fort Wayne, Indiana, or from my best friend Summer's store, Summer's Stories in Kendallville, Indiana!!
Here is a review of the book from amazon.com...
"This book is filled with humor, romance, gossip, drama, and everything fun that goes along with college life. Whether you're a college student now, will be soon, or was at one time, you'll be able to identify with all the trials and tribulations this group of friends go through. Its a lighthearted read that keeps you entertained and turning the pages for more. A must-read!!"
Here is a review from shelfari.com:
A MUST READ!!!! This book was an amazing page turner! I am currently a college student and while I was reading the book I identified with a lot of the experiences that the characters went through. The entire book is filled with romance, drama, scandals, partying, betrayals, alcohol, pregnancies … basically all that college life consists of. I couldn’t put the book down. I love how the author gave a real take on college life and the fact that yes, the characters in the book had fun partying all of the time and hanging out with friends, but that the author didn’t leave out the studying and the exams that the characters endured. I believe the author nailed college life and I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an intense, scandalous, drama-filled, exciting book!!
Take the quiz to see which Everything Happens for a Reason... roommate you're most like! (I love quizzes if you can't tell.) :D
Hilton You are a free spirit who wants to live it up as much as possible. You believe everything happens for a reason, so you don't get upset about a lot...you just go with the flow. You are mature and level-headed and your friends look to you for advice. You are the perfect friend; you always know the right thing to say and you would do anything for your friends. You are incredibly loyal to those who are loyal to you...and you know how to pick those people. You have a few very close friends and a large group of party friends. You are a guys' girl...you feel completely at ease being the only girl hanging out with a group of guys, and guys love having you around because you're so fun and laid-back. You are extremely intelligent and do well in school, and you are most interested in artistic/creative fields. You want to travel the world and you love excitement and trying new things. You are passionate and love sex...doing it and talking about it. You are happy partying with all your friends, vegging out with your roommates or your guy friends, hooking up with your boyfriend...you're up for anything and you love it all.

Greetings from Sussex, and I thank you for adding my name to your list of "friends." Perhaps you will be interested to hear that my literary agent, Ms King, has cajoled me into participating in a program she is calling "Fifteen Weeks of Bees," which will tie together the fifteenth anniversary of our first collaboration, The Beekeeper's Apprentice, and the publication of our newest venture in May, The Language of Bees. Appropriately, "Fifteen Weeks" will join my efforts on MySpace with hers on her web site and blog. Please join us starting on February 1.
Happy Holidays! Hope you’re enjoying the season so far. Seems it has been quite some time since I spent some time on Myspace. I have been busy altering my website at www. tonycowger. com to reflect my newest efforts in the freelance and ghost writing markets and focus less on my own novel. Anyway, I hope the rest of your year is wonderful and that the new year holds all the abundance you want. If you or someone you know is in need of some writing help please send them my way at www. tonycowger. com. (For any help I receive from my Myspace friends I am offering a 10% finders fee to say thank you for helping out a friend so be sure to write and let me know in case your friend forgets to tell me. If you hire me yourself, that 10% would be taken off what you pay so, either way, you win.) I have experience in writing sales ads/presentations, non-fiction and, of course, fiction. Thanks and happy holidays!
