    LOL @ abbey... no, probably wouldn't have guessed. Only familiar with 2 of her songs. ;D

    And @ Jordan... I'm tentatively considering spring break backpacking at Big Bend National Park. So, yeah, no plans to be around Nac anytime soon. :| But maybe sometime.

    And I'm *not* addicted to AIM. I just have the self-control to curb its evil influence once in a while! Unfortunately, I cannot deny its uses.

    And yeah we should totally try an audio AIM conversation sometime.

    I see that both me and Abbey had to do our versions of the list. Hee, hee.

    They're kinda catchy.

    And thanks, Lud, for the birthday call - that was sweet, real sweet.

    Random people, who post anonymously, and call you "my dear"... are very funny.

Something to say?
