I'm thinking of giving it to a friend for Christmas, although I dunno if it will be finished in time. I'm gonna make it a book of "How to Do Stuff", with lots of random facts and useless information. Like, how to race a crocodile (run in zigzags!).

Any ideas of a "How To"?

Edit: First page! How to: Classify Boxers xD http://i40.tinypic.com/2cx6d08.jpg

That sounds... AWESOME. When the title said "scrapbook", I thought you meant you'd give your friend a book with pictures of you guys together, which I've always thought is the epitome of being a tryhard. But this sounds nice. Honestly, because these How To topics are so out there, my ideas for the book may be utterly terrible in your opinion. But I'll try. How to... *milk a wombat
*sing off-key smooth jazz *make spree cake (which is delicious by the way) *write an obituary These are just a few things that came to my head. Try to have a variety of topics (they can't ALL be "wtf?" instructions). I wouldn't try to come up with them all at once (the ones near the end may not be as good). You have until Christmas, so just write them down as they come to you.

I don't know. Ultimately it's up to you what you put in. I'd say look at the random facts websites, those should help you out a lot. Hopefully your friend will love this; good luck.

Your scrapbook sounds cute but I really don't see what's "tryhard" about making a photo scrapbook.

  • How to order a drink at a bar
  • How to catch leprechauns
  • How to eat pomegranates
  • How to escape a bear
  • How to entertain old people

How to milk a wombat? Haha. My topics so far include how to ride an ostrich, how to read your palm, how to keep an octopus and how to sharpen kitchen scissors (cut sandpaper with them!) o:

How to catch leprechauns is good! Yeah I dunno, I think photos are cute. I'd make one of those, if I actually had photos that aren't drunken Facebook ones of us. ><

Online photo albums are just more streamlined versions of photo scrapbooks anyway. I have a scrapbook from high school and one of all my travels and people always enjoy seeing themselves included in them. A bunch of my friends made scrapbooks of photos from our semester abroad and they came out great.

Oooh, a travelling scrapbook sounds really awesome. I'd like to do that when I go on my adventures. I love your avatar by the way. <3

Thanks. It's a nice way to save travel mementos like receipts, ticket stubs, museum maps, postcards, etc., and photos of course. Your HA is adorable. The Milk Updo wigs are so nice. ^_^

I remember I went to the Netherlands not too long ago and I really regret not keeping the little things like the hotel receipt and flight tickets. </3 Aw thanks! I recently bought these socks from the CW pawn shop for 300. I think it's great that I can buy items for 300 and then sell them back for the same amount when I get bored of them. I have so much love for that shop. ♥

I've only been to the Netherlands once but I loved it and am dying to go back! I used to keep business cards, flight tickets, menus, and other travel paraphernalia in a big shoebox, but someone gifted me some beautiful albums that I decided to fill.

Lowering the price of old pawned CWs to 300 CSC was one of the best decisions Subeta ever made. CW price changes in general are in the works too. That way a background and something like a little piece of jewelry aren't worth the same amount. :D

I've been only once, and I loved it too. I think it's an awesome place. What country do you live in?

Ooh, is that happening? I heard people talking about it but I didn't know they were actually going to. I think it's a great idea.

I live in the U.S. in a suburb of New York City. Where are you from?

confirmed the cheaper small CWs thing in his last video-chat. Some people took notes but no one ever posted a full transcript: Help!
