| Sorry, tear. I think I posted too quickly thinking of my own situations in the past. :oops: Since the letter is about your life experiences, she'd probably very much like to hear them. It sounds like you two have a good friendship base and it's really great that you want to share your experiences wi... |

| Honestly, it's probably best not to give it to her unless you know 100% with no doubt that she likes you. I've done this before and it didn't really work. Also, from a girl's point of view, it might seem creepy if she doesn't share those feelings. |

PeaceMaker,
Where does that quote come from? I'm not doubting you, I'm just interested in reading about that myself. |

| I have to admit I'm really starting to like OOP and you can't do that with BASIC. Also, back when I was using it, I didn't understand the concepts of arrays and functions/methods, so the stuff I could actually do was pretty limited. Maybe I'll go pull out some old BASIC programs and fool around with... |

Haha....yeah, I've just come to accept that I'll say stupid stuff and try not to take it too seriously. It really depends on my mood though, as sometimes I just want to crawl under a rock......Anyway, nothing too bad so far on this site. Crossing my fingers!  |

I love running. When it starts getting warm outside, I get antsy and need to move around. Hopefully, within the next couple of weeks, it'll be warm enough.  |

| I like to look at myself in the mirror. I helps to give me a sence of physical 'wholeness'. When I look in the mirror I can see where my body parts are in relation to each other. And I forget what I look like easily too. But when I look in mirrors, I don't look at 'me'. I look at the bits of me. I ... |

Can't be any worse than the transition from BASIC to Java. Man, that was terrible....

English has been influenced by so many languages over the last 1500 years it's no wonder we've got the we... |
