Sorry to rain on your guys parade here, but she picked that title
*along* time ago.  The term 'Honorary' implies that she doesn't really
deserve the title, but we will give it to her anyway.  I mean she
works *hard* for us spreading love and happiness where ever she goes.
Nothing has ever been given to her, and she wouldn't take anything
she didn't think she could do right...

I guess what I am trying to say, is that no, I don't vote for the
title 'Honorary', 'Official' is what she is, and there is only one.
I mean, after all, I *am* her BigBro, and I think she has earned the
right to be 'Official'...

Casting?  Me?  No.  After all, I don't have a casting couch :-) .  Gee,
you guys are the ones in LA.  Anyway, if you had seen the snowwoman that
my friends and I made in Germany last year (first snowperson I ever
made!), you wouldn't want to be relying on *my* artistic talents.

I decided to let y'all see  a poem or two of mine, but i make no
claims of being a poet... 

Walkin on, I hang my head
Feel the wounds from which I've bled
Darkness all around me now
I go on, but know not how

Holy Lord, I pray to thee
A lonely soul, must I be?
Give to me Thy guiding light
Lead me from this darkest night

On and on, I trudge ahead
Yearning to smile, but instead
Weeping alone on bended knee
When you appear most magically

I slowly rise, my eyes are wet
Not believing this angel i've met
You come to me with open arms
And bathe me in romantic charms

Walk with me upon the sand
I'll be your guide - hold your hand
And keep your heart warm and true
Turn and say, "I love you"

I was just getting ready to post something about 
Hurricane Andrew.  I'm really glad you're safe and sound,
Scott. 

I don't know if there are many posters/lurkers in ARC-Land
who are having to deal with this disaster, but I want you
all to know you are being thought about and my prayers
go out to you.  If you need to chat about it, that's 
what we're here for.

Hi all,

Now that i've learned to post to this group correctly i'll introduce myself.
My name is Benjamin Marcus Askins (benj to friends), I live in the most
boring town in the universe, I was born in england (i want to go back),
I luv music, i am 20 years old (and i hope to make to 21), i love hugs,
and what i would really like to know is how to put a little bit of romance
back into my relationship with my girlfriend.

Please help.

*HUGE HUGS*

Benj.

What?!  You seriously think that Blademon and I would let 'alittle
bit of authority' get in our way?  Man you are talking about two men
how absolutely *thrive* on the obscure, bizarre and the macabre!!  My
daydreams are worse than most people nightmares!  Just ask Steve and
Jules!

Just for a change, try apple pie with a big scoop of chocolate
ice-cream on it... Yummy!!
