Kai! Sell me your red/black truss girder pieces if you have them! Really!
:^D We'll miss you! And that *great* spinach dip....mmmm...spinach dip
with fritos...mmmm
PS: you seemed a lot older than 12. Maybe that's because I'm 27 and I'm so
used to dealing with people varying age. When I went to university, my
roomie in residence was 15 turning 16! In 1st-year engineering at that.
And now I work along side people who are the same ages as my dad. Veerrry
interesting...hhmmm...
Anyways, I do hope that you return, but don't feel bad if you do not. "Ya
gotta do what ya gotta do", and I hopefully I personally will not enter a
second dark age for a long, LONG time since this is one of my favorite
creative hobbies. After all, it took a long LONG, time to finally figure
that out while going through my first dark age. So with that, keep reading
the posts and try to stay abreast of what's happening if you can. At least
you can get a decent "wallpaper" for you computer every so often, if nothing
else. Dan Jassim's creations plaster my screen as I type this.
PS: One piece of advice as you go: high school and being popular in high
school are not and never will be the end-alls and be-alls of girls and
dating. You will have far more, and, far more meaningful opportunities
during and after your post secondary education. Focus now on the studies
and athletics more than the dating. But that is only my personal opinion.
The more you work now, the more fun you will have later. The reverse if
often true as well (play too much now, pay for it later). I will say
nothing more, except: Have fun in everything you do!
