    Before I joined in -- which was just exactly a week ago-- we had no Internet connection yet (because of the people in the company). So I have become hesitantly accustomed to just going to Internet cafes to do my research work and emailing (while Toni was skimming through this forum) to satisfy the Internet maniacs in us.

    I still had the time to email and read books, newspapers, and everything that has letters on it, watch Lost on time, guide my sibs with homeworks at home and still do some iron work.

    After I joined in when we had the connection already -- more than a week ago -- I had not only become the worst insomniac panged with guilt everytime my mom would give me a-scolding every night for staying up so late (I have NEVER, EVER went against her rules, so this forum is to blame for that), but now I also have zits that could spew magma at any given minute and eyebags the size of politicians' lies.

    But the serious side, I am super entertained when I get to read and post, and having people coming from different parts of the world and knowing what they have to say about certain things is one of the closest things to travelling around the world.

    I wish this forum would stay here forever and I also wish to meet all of you in person!!!

    (Oh yeah, I still have the time to email and read books, newspapers, and everything that has letters on it, watch Lost on time, guide my sibs with homeworks at home and still do some iron work, but an hour less.

    So they say. Thanks. On the brighter side I had a girlfriend when I first came here and now I'm single again.

    Ah yes, enjoy your freedom while you still can.
    the luminous grass of the prairie hides
    feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
    porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
    but weighty and unmovable
    As black Dakota hills.

    Wait, I know. Orwell was not as poor as I thought he was and that kind of change my view on him a little bit.

    How long have I been here?? Holy Carp!! It'll will be 3 years next febuary. Let's see, since I joined:


    I moved
    I bought a new car
    I sold my house
    I changed jobs
    I've been dumped and been the dumpee several times

    In the literature world, I've read way more books and more of a variety then I would have if I hadn't stumbled onto this website. None of my Real Life friends are big readers so I really couldn't talk about books with anybody until I got here.

    How has the Old Dragon changed since he's been here? Well, I act more like my old self, have fewer episodes with my illness, and generally just have a darn good time and meet a lot of friendly people world wide! A toast to you all!
