HAHAHA well Pip and Laura are both already red heads, so there kids are going to totally be red heads. But Zoey's father is Laura's brother, who is not a redhead, (more auburn) but well her grandfather on that side is, but her mom is not, so from the loose probabilities i've discovered on the complex estimation that is hair color, I'm going to guess, she will end up like her father and mother with dark auburn hair, while her little brother ends up with the more dominant brown, with light auburn highlights in the summer.

Another problem was figuring out the likelihood of Lex having blond hair. Because she's not allowed to be blond (can change her looks) if science cant back it up. Luckily although extremely rare it is not only possible for her to have blond hair, but a completely different hair color from her twin.

Jul- black hair, hazel eyes, Tod-blond hair green eyes. One twins looks like each parent. (but both have green eyes) It gives Lex a 20% chance of ending up with blond hair though.

Popping in with some Sherlockettes VISUAL REFERENCES!

Well, you know how my characters go to a lovely, wealthy school, yes?

...unfortunately I do not have a picture of this school. Suffice to say that it is a lovely huge Edwardian mansion, I think.

But I DO have a picture of the park their school is located in! So this is basically their school yard. But it's public.

Isn't it lovely? In the winter, everyone skates on that lake. And there is tubing! And snowshoeing! Not on the lake.

And with that I'm off to bed. G'night!

Looks like a college campus. My school sucks big time, but the one thing they have going for them is a pretty campus. Not that it meant anything to me more then sucking more tuition out of me each year for "Upkeep".

We do have a castle though which was cool back when i was a freshman.

Its pretty in the fall, because out the windows of the only building on campus i ever go into (Boyer the science building) you can see out to millions of trees all changing for fall.

Go by yourself! Or... invite someone randomly! Plenty of people like going to concerts even if they don't know the band.

I've lived in the same city basically all of my life. I lived in the same house for 18 years, in the same room for 14, and then in the past three years I've moved six times. ...But all still within the same city. If things work out the way I'm hoping/wanting them to, there's a pretty good chance I'll end up staying here most of the rest of my life. Which I'm okay with. It's a small college/university town, but just the right size for me. Big enough that everybody doesn't know everything about you, but small enough that everywhere you go you see people you know.

I don't want to live anywhere but a big city. I want to have a country house up north, but living full time? No, thanks.

(that's because of the country part, not the north part)

ETA: WAIT TAYLOR HOLY SHIT ARE YOU GOING TO BE IN ORLANDO HOW LONG ARE YOU STAYING?

Yeah, I like small towns. But that could be because I grew up in one. I will say that my favorites are small towns that are like... 10-15 minutes away from a bigger city. That way it's still the small town, but you can get some of the perks of city life. :tongue

Me, i grew up in a small old neighborhood right next door to Center City Philadelphia. I always hated my neighborhood, its small and very safe, and everyone knows each other and there mother, and I've always hated it. But that is probably because of my bullying past...

After moving out to the suburbs for college, that is where i want to live. My ultimate dream is to move far far away live in a nice big house with a lot of land and just write all day long. But not every dream can come true, i'd settle for a nice house in the suburbs though.

I grew up in a small town and go to college in a small town. I love visiting the city, but I don't think I could ever live there. It's just too crowded and the traffic is awful.

Hmm... I'm from a fishing community, so obviously we're very small. But we're roughly an hours drive away from St. Johns, which is the biggest city you'll get here...

I just want a big house. Ever since i was very young i begged to have a bigger bedroom. (Its like the size of a walk in closet...) And a backyard... mine is a cement box about 9 by 12 feet. So when i went out to the suburbs and saw single houses (I live in a row home) with driveways (Something you CANT get around here) and land... it was like a dream come true!!!

I want my kids to have room to run around, and bedrooms bigger then a bathroom, and a backyard where i can put up a treehouse, and swingset (for them and for me ehehehe)
