This reminds me of how I used to be way back when I was an incoming freshman in college. I had had very limited experience with motos, in fact, I never really went out on a date until *after* I had my first SO. I used to worry about impressing people, and how they viewed me and how I could get them to fall in love with me. After about a year of being a confused type, I decided to give up on finding an SO. Surprise! Suddenly I actually started having friends, most of which were motos btw, and I found that having a relationship involves a lot more than just finding a person that likes you, or just liking a person. It requires you to be able to completely trust yourself to that person. If instead of trying to find a lover, you try to find a friend, you may well end up with much more than you could ever have expected in you wildest dreams. -- ihnp4--\ fritzz the Zebra decvax--\ Now, for $15,000, name a akgua----\ small sea animal: dcdwest---\ Shrimp cocktail. kgbvax-----\ ucbvax-------- sdcsvax -- sdcc3 -- fritzz
