Today I recieved a message from someone saying that they were greatly impressed with my profile and that they would send me a picture of them as soon as I contacted their email.

It seems to me that recently laptops have been becoming much more popular.  In fact recently most of my friends have switched from using a desktop to a laptop, maybe that is because we will all leave to go to college soon and laptops seem much more useful in college.  So I was wondering what people use most on this site.  I am guessing that a majority of the people that post on this  Read More »

Has anyone noticed how Christmas decorations and so on are being sold before Thanksgiving is even over.  Does anyone even really care about Christmas any more or is it just a time that you get off from school and get presents.  Thats what it seems like to me, it seems like it is just a great time to boost sales for retale stores.  It is not religious for most people, I dont think, i  Read More »
