Living with OJD: 90's kid and OMJ I'm back!

Hey everyone! So I know that I haven't posted in about a month, (actually it's exactly a month) but I've been super busy in Paris all this month! I'm here with my friends and family and an awesome camera and production crew that is following us around, documenting my life as I write my first novel with my new publishing company. It's about a girl who goes on a trip to Paris all by herself at age 15. I'm really excited to hear everyone's reactions to the first draft and cannot wait to send it out to my agent. I've been getting an amazing amount of responses to my blog and I will keep doing it, but I honestly forgot until last week and this is the first moment I've had free and alone where I'm not working on the novel. When I last left you guys it was the night I had gone out to the Camp Rock preimere. Question: did you guys enjoy CR when it came out on the 20th of last month? I hope so! The Jonas Brothers and I have kept in contact and we talk on the phone every once and a while. I cannot wait to see them with Demi Lovato in Saratoga, New York in early August. I'm very excited to support my new friends; they are so talented! Thanks to everyone who has read my blogs since the beginning, it's truly devine what this is turning out to be. I'm so happy that I got to meet a few of my fans yesterday that live here in Paris! It's such an eye opener to see how other people live and talk all around the world and I hope that soon my next books will take me to all other parts of the world.
Okay, so I came across a myspace bulletien and it's called "You know you're a 90's kid if..." and I thought I would show it to you all. But, being the writer that I am, I couldn't just copy and paste it and let it be. I'm gonna give you little snippets after EVERYTHING in the bulletien and that way, maybe you can learn some more about me. Also, before I forget: I'm getting lots of other questions, so I'll start preparing to do another Q&A soon.
