Well, it is the Shadowette, here.  I noticed that after I sent in my ending
that Rat had sent one in too.  Oh, well.  I hope you all enjoyed them both
anyway!

But anyway, I had to remove myself from the food fight because I'm leaving
for the next two weeks. *sniff*  And in truth, I am going home, for a week
anyway.  

Oh, well.  Don't do anything foolish or reckless while I'm gone.  I mean,
I wouldn't want to miss the fun or anything. :-)

*sniff* *sniff*

I....I......I'm........a...a-gaa...a-gaa..na......a-mis..a-misssss.....all
of yoooOUUUUUU!

*sniff* *sniff*

Have a good two weeks everyone.  :-)

I'll be sure to think of you all while I'm down in Florida. :-) :-)

Waohoa!  Gads, thought I was insane or something, but now I know better...
thank you all for showing me that I'm not insane.
I met my girlfriend across the net when the summer began...thanks to a post
I made to Soc.Penpals.  We were penpals for maybe a week.  It does feel odd
to care about someone that's that far away.  We're 3000 miles apart, and we
share everything.

Actually, don't feel bad... I only invite the _best_ people to stay 
at 'de Kees...  Nice, comfy place..  A little small, but that adds
to the charm.  It's named after those famous Dogs, "Keeshonds", which
remain in residence at almost all times.
  Ammenities are many;  From the large brick patio, to the swirling
jacuzzi, to the Game room with many delights... the wide selection
of videos for your viewing pleasure, down to the most modern of

  And of course, the hand-laid stone fireplace dominates the living
room, and provides many a person with a warm cheery glow.

Ross comes walking along, and sees Good Romantic Witch crying.
He sits down next to her, and says

"Don't cry GRW, you have new friends also. I'm Ross, and I'm new around here.
Clare told me how to get in just before she disappeared. (And after one stuff
up, I hope I've got it right!) Would you like to show a newbie around? I've
been lurking on the outside for sometime, and I believe there is much to see!"

He waits for GRW to reply - will she understand his Australian accent?

Ross - busy battling unix and vi
Don't expect a .sig yet!

You know, that IS funny.....

Steven and I both are pretty forgetful of little/medium sized things.  So,
we tell one another to remind ourselves of stuff, but we BOTH forget
sometimes......

I would save this note to a file....but then I'd probably forget where it
