    Congrats to you, Remarkable, on your musical appearance!

    Granny5, thank you for posting Bailey's winner of a poem. You must be soooooo proud! Congratulations to Bailey and to you!

    Great news on the marks, Anza!

    Rob, had to laugh at your title {"Physics for Masochists"}, but congrats to you. Now take a sigh of relief!

    Sweety!! How wonderful for you -- don't let fear hold you back from anything, you are strong and you will do well. Congratulations, big time, mon amie!

    Robin: Good to see you back around these parts. Congrats on making it through Physics.

    Sweets America: Congratulations on the study abroad program. It's lovely up there in Oregon. Of course you clearly knew that this was going to happen when you chose your user name.

    Niiiiiiiiiiiice!!!

    My achievement at the moment:
    A)Getting up to page 19 on the story I'm working on writing *yay!*

    and B)My Tetris highscore... 29 847... come to think of it, maybe that should have come first...
    Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.

    I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.

    Thanks Fifth, Kiz, Shea and Niamh!

    Bailey, I'm going to study at Southern Oregon University. It is located just next to the Californian border.

    Petrarch, yes I had planned that when I chose my username. Sweets has always wanted to be in America.

    not much of boast, but...
    I made my first drink yesterday. I made some screwdrivers for my Grandma and myself. i had no clue what I was doing. after my grandma tasted hers, I asked if I did it right and she said yes. But the way she said "Oh yeah, it's gooood." kinda tells me I made it a bit too strong . Oh well.
