About Me:
I recently started volunteering at a nursing
home. I take my laptop and digital cam there, and I've
been setting up Friendster profiles for the old people.
They really love it, but NOT AS MUCH AS I DO! *does a
little Friendster dance* (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
purest, most bitter form of sarcasm you will ever
experience in words. This sarcasm is so perfectly refined
that you'll find it on a chemsist's shelf labeled "Pure
Sarcasm DANGER! DO NOT INGEST.")

seen Ben and if I am not mistaken, the
last time was in a hot tub at his place in
freezing weather...needless to say I
caught a cold, but it was fun catching
that cold. Ben used to talk to me about
things like caving...and no, he wasn't
being dirty...and I think one of the things
that I admire most about him is that he
loves to get out there and do the things
that most people only dream
about...yes, that includes wet
dreams...hee hee hee. Now it's my turn
and I am out of Texas and headed to
Florida for a while and then who knows.
I want to wish Ben the best
though...good guys finish last 90% of
the time...I hope that this one (him) gets
everything he wants out of life...oh yes,
and possibly some things that I
want...don't worry, you'll like'em. ;)
- convince me that paddling a leaky,
rapidly deflating raft upstream through
a headwind on a frigid lake to fly a
kite is a good idea.
- trick my mom into climbing a
mountain.
- disarm land mines.
- pry potheads off the sofa and get
them to belly-crawl through the mud.
- not stay clothed around a waterfall.
- make me feel right at home careening
off the (only) road in the Sinai desert.
- not be trusted when he says, "Oh,
it's just over this next ridge; I
promise.
- make my teeth go numb.
- venture off the trail, hike upstream
through a river, and lead you to some
of the most beautiful, secluded vistas
in the world.
- trick any two (or more) of his
friends into sleeping with one another.
- look out the window of a plane and
tell you the name and location of the
nearest cave, ANYWHERE in the world.
But most importantly, Ben can keep me
coming back for more. I love you.
