Well, I'm back.  *grin*  who am I?  don't worry about it.  The bottom line
is, I posted a note waaaay back when this group first got started, got into
it for a bit, and then posted a "hi!  anyone who wants to talk to me, write
to me!", and then promptly ignored everyone who wrote to me.  *grin*

well, actually, I had to go home to OK, and I don't got any access to the
internet there, so I forwared all my mail to my friend, who has yet to 
return any of it to me.  argh.

Well, hey, what can ya do.

But anyway, If anyone would like a person to chat to on a regular basis, feel
free to drop me some e-mail - my address is ftw33616@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu.  I'm a
19 year old Chinese guy, who's trying to sort out his future, since I'm also
a college senior.  gack.

I like classical guitar, comic books, computers, chatting, etc.  So, if you
would like someone to chat with, about life, things, doo-dads, the color green,
or anything crunchy, feel free to drop me a note saying hi.

Real mail is cool, too, but I tend to write fairly decently long letters, which
tend to take a ton of time.  'pecially when yer writing to a million people.
but hey, what can ya do.

I know, I know, "shut up, frank!  where are the questions?"

fine, fine, fine.  here we go:

(1)  Is it me, or are guys generally complete bums when it comes to letter
     writing?   I mean, I get tons of letters, and they're almost all from 
     females.  I have a hard time explaining to people that _no_, I'm not a
     womanizer, cuz I'll write to _anyone_, but guys almost _never_ write
     back!  or they write some cheesy couple line letter.  Actually, perhaps
     the problem is not so much that guys don't write, but they only write to
     females.  or such.  (note: the above, and all below, are just my humble
     opinion, okay?  put that flamethrower down.)  Dunno.  it's odd.

(2)  Okay, okay, something for the females.  Being quite the social idiot in
     real life, how would you feel if you were sitting alone, eating, and some
     guy sat down next to you, and started jabbering his brains off?  well, 
     ok, maybe not _jabbering_ his brains off, but like, just said hello, and
     such.  I mean, I tend to eat alone fairly often, during lunch, and such,
     and only _once_ has a person asked to sit with me, and we chatted, and it
     was really cool!  So why doesn't it happen more often?  I mean, what's the
     worst that could realistically happen?   Well, anyway, I just thought I'd
     ask the average person (actually, how do you guys feel about such things,
     too?) what the thought of this.


Hmmm.  well, 2 questions is enough for now.  if there are enough responses, I
suppose I'll think of two more, if these get discussed to death.  or if anyone
has better topics/questions to suggest, then we'll go from there, I s'pose.

p.s. mail me!  =)  => ftw33616@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu.  length between responses
     will be determined by the amount of time I have, but I guarantee a 
     friendly response in a reasonable time.
p.p.s.  *boing*
