Okay well I was thinking of ways to celebrate an "ANI-versary"
(meaning the day or relative time of year you started reading or heard about Animorphs)
and I wanted to know if you all could come up with ways to celebrate this by adding to the list. You can be serious or not.  ;D

I'll start....
-re-read your favorite Ani-book
-eat instant Maple and Ginger oatmeal for breakfast
-walk outside and sream, "I love Animorphs!!!"
-Go to McDonalds and order a "Happy Meal with Extra Happy"
-Start talking to random animals like they're people in morph
-Run around yelling "YEERK!" or "ANDALITE!" at random people until someone confesses to their true identity.
-Attend a meeting of your local Sharing chapter.

I completely forgot about my ANIversary! But, when i first heard about them was about uhh, I'd say about October of '07, but I was really confused by them because the librarian only had 5 and that did NOT include #1. I truly read them in April-June. But then I didn't have much time and library was only once every 2 weeks so I only managed to read 10 books. Then, I heard about RAF and downloaded/ read the whole series on my computer in about 2 weeks.

Some more things I do.

-I imagine that I am them and feel the agility of a tiger, the strength of a grizzly, the flight of a hawk, the weirdness of Marco! You get the picture...
-I practice my 'LET'S DO IT!'s. I am soooo close to getting it right. No wait, just did it.
-I try and play out  each character in a book. I might invite a friend or 2 over to just play out the whole book together! I usually do either Rachel or Tobias.  Sometimes one of the others if Marco has a really good joke, Cassie is being too huge of an animal freak, Ax if he's being a major Ax, or if it's Jake and Megamorphs 3 *stifles sob*.
I used to be V, before that I was Tobiasfan21. Then I disappeared for several months after being kidnapped by the Twilight series. Don't make me talk about it, it was horrible. Now, I'm V2113.

It's about time for it. Sadly, I started warriors and animorphs about the same time. I don't know the exact month when I started animorphs, but I know it was cold out (and the computer said some animrophs documents I made were made in january '07, I assume I knew animorphs before then.), so it must have had been late in the year. I started warriors in november when I was in minnesota last year.

I'll do a combo celebration! I'll re-read my books that I have myself and start reading Ax books and my favorite warriors books and scare people by acting like Ax or...I don't know, like a young kit from a certain book. I will add more chapters in my crossover and do illustrations of Andalites and cats.

I don't...remember exactly when the first book came out, so...I have no idea when my ANIversary would be :(.  Sometime in 1996, lol.  I'd probably just go around with my RAFcast t-shirt on that day, 'cause it's got the sillohuette on the back of all of the group, I'm horrible at celebrating things. Oh wait, I wear that shirt anyways and the design's half-faded off.  :/  See?  I'm horrible at finding ways to celebrate.

- run around telling bad Marco jokes (I think he only had one good one, so that should be easy)
- visit the local zoo, try to get into the exhibits and acquire animals
- give everyone with one of the Animorph's names you meet that day a gold star sticker
- talk to all dogs you see roaming around (wait, I have to do that for work anyways...:/)
- avoid swimming pools at all costs
- lock any oddly-behaving relatives up in a closet for three days, feeding them only water and instant maple and ginger oatmeal until you're sure it's genetic and not a yeerk
Not all who wander are lost

Lordy! I have no idea. I think I was in first or second grade! 1996 . . . twelve years ago! I was only nine. I think I remember being sick, but I really wanted to go to the book fair, so my Mom took me. I saw the book with the girl turning into a cat (#2) and had to have it. I think it was just #1 and 2 out at that point. From then, I was hooked and bought each one as soon as it came out.

If I remembered, I'd celebrate with a candy bar and by rereading a book or two.

I did that once... :P


Sadly, I don't recall the exact date of my reading it...However, I do remember reading the latest book first [number 3], thinking |What???!!?!|, and then burning through the first two in less than an hour.  I thought |wow!|.

Then I thought |Not again...|, because we all know how hard it is to be hooked on a series that is still being written  :P.  Now that I've suffered through it, and still enjoy reading the series, I suppose a celebration is in order    ;D

Happy Meal with extra happy... I actually tried that once (on a dare) and all I got was a funny look.
And I always talk to random animals...

-Relive the summer vactation when I swore to my friend that I heard voices in my head. 3 boys, 2 girls. They were debating whether or not to let me join them.
-relive that day when I sat watching a fly for 2 hours. When they were over I sadly walked back into my room, distraught because the voices weren't letting me join them.
-put a piece of cheese in my cabinet to feed the mouse that could be an Animorph in morph! (I'm still keeping my fingers crossed)
-tell everyone I know that the finale of the Animorphs were just made up and the animorphs are still trying to stop the Yeerks! And that Rachel is still alive.
-beg everyone to not join Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts because it's really the Sharing's new disguise...
-remember that one of the forementioned voices was happy because he was my favorite character, or at least exactly like him
-watch all the animorph episodes on youtube while reading the books and loudly complaining about how unlike the books they were.
-go on RAF all day long
-morph dolphin and go swimming through the ocean for one hour and fifty-nine minutes, good thing I'm in estreen, huh.
-try and use my tiger claws to tear through the walls of my padded cell. Aww, man. It's tiger proof!!!
-Do the same with bear morph
-and elephant
-and every other morph I own
-start a new animorph fan base
-make your own ANIbase
-scream "TOBIAS!" at every hawk that you see
-go to a museum in Cape Cod and look at the stuffed RED TAILED HAWK and cry "why did they do this to you Tobias! Why!" until they remove you from the museum.
-pretend your house is the next mission and you are an animorph
-write a how to list for the animorphs

Lol, Tobiasfan, those ideas sound like a blast. LoL!

-scream "TOBIAS!" at every hawk that you see
-go to a museum in Cape Cod and look at the stuffed RED TAILED HAWK and cry "why did they do this to you Tobias! Why!" until they remove you from the museum.
-pretend your house is the next mission and you are an animorph

I've done those.   :)

Where I live there are quite alot of birds at a certain time of year and whenever I see one that could maybe be a red-tailed hawk I shout, "Tobias!" and wave my arms in the air to see if it looks at me. Hey, you never know....  ;D
