I agree!!  My boyfriend and I are the same way (although we have only been  
together for six months).  We are both in college, a long way away from  
our families (we are in Minnesota, and I am from California, he is from  
Kansas).  When we were both at our respective homes over Christmas, we  
would call one another and take ten minutes just to hang up.  It is nearly  
impossible to just clank the phone down on someone you really love.  Sorry  
if this is a little sappy.  Important part is ... communicate!!

    I'm sorry. I just can't resist. I've been reading the stuff you guys
(or girls) have been posting for about 5 days now and I have to comment on
Andrew's message at the end of his .sig (I think that's what it is. I am not 
very computery person, I'm making my dad post this for me. He won't let me
use his password to get on the net and he can't get me my own because he's
a guest. Oh well, one of these days.) Anyway. Andrew, you can do anything
you want to the poor or the rich, but if you kill the strange, you'll wipe 
out the majority of the teenage population (and pre-teen) in Pittsburgh
(my hometown) myself included (if you go by the discriptions of my friends 
and I from my parents. They cannot understand our sense of humor, of course,
I really can't understand it either, so who'm I to talk?
    BTW I'm 13, and in 9th grade, for that tally/survey/census, if anyone
cares. If not, too bad. If this message gets messed up in anyway, it's my 
dad's fault. I gotta go, my 7 month old puppy (Rottweiler/Dobermein/German 
Shepard/who know's?) is getting into something, and it sounds like it's 
something he's not supposed to be in.
                                                -Kris(tine) 
            P.S. I put the (tine) on because people tend to think that Kris 
is a guys name, so I thought I clear it up now. Also, I am not a good 
speller. Spelling was left out of my early education, and I've had to pick 
it up as I go along. (Along with punctuation.)
            P.P.S. Does anyone know how to NOT fail finals? This is the 
first year I'm taking them, and I would really like to know.
            P.P.P.S. Remember, you made the mistake of reading this. You 
may just be stuck with me. I'll have to get my friend to come over one of 
these days so that she can read the stuff you guys post too. (I print way 
to much stuff out all ready, paper is getting scarce around these parts.)
                                    Adios! (BTW no flaming or anything, 
go easy, I'm new here, I know very little about computers other than WordPerfect 
and stuff like that, but I will learn. And yes, I do tend to write a lot 
about everything, and I have fun doing it too. What has my dad created by 
showing me newsgroups? Only time will tell.) I'm done. I hear something ripping.

My high school did one mucsical every year, not to mention two other
plays each year. In high school I was in 'Damn Yankees', 'The King &
I' (I was the head prince), 'Some Enchanted Evening', and 'Cinderella'.
Before I was in the HS I was a munchkin when they did 'Wizard of Oz'
and I was a towns kid in 'Fiddler on the Roof'
Musicals were the bext part of my high school. They are soooooo much fun
its unbelievable. Its lots of hard work, going to practice every night
for a couple months, but its all worth it. You'll have a great time...
I guarantee it!    When we did Cinderella I think I remember one
scene where the King (me!!) had to dance with the two wicked step
sisters. It was such a hilarious scene... the step sisters kept fighting
over who got to dance with who, and they couldnt even dance! It was
really funny...

Has anyone ever seriously looked at traffic lights? I mean, the odds must be 
more or less even that it be green or red, but has anyone else noticed that 
they seem to come in spurts? For instance:
	A) there is a temporary light about 1/4 mile from my house at home.
My brother claims that whenever he is driving, it is red, and whenever I am
driving, it is green. I KNOW it is only green when he's in the passenger's 
seat...
	B) I recently ran a road race in which the city police temporarily 
stopped traffic for the race. The stop lights still worked, though, and every
one turned red just as I was about run through that intersection.

These are just examples. I see two alternatives: complete and random stoplight-
probability anarchy, or an omnicient and omnipotent Stop Light Fate.

Any other opinions?

     I see another alternative:  The stoplights are intelligent beings, or

they should be what color.

    My friend has found another boyfriend.  She doesn't go long without one,
it seems.  I don't know what to think of it.  I don't think I like this
boyfriend better than her last 3, who cheated on her.  I don't think that
she has very good judgement about some people.
    It makes me sad.  If we were closer, I'm sure that we would be going
out.  I'd be soooo much better to her than her previous boyfriends.  This
sound concieted or something.  Maybe it is.  I just wish we were going out
instead of her going out with the people that she does.

    Ack.  I can't still beleieve that I'm still attached to her.  I haven't
seen her in a year.  I guess that would be ever since her friends screwed us
up.

    I had things to write, but I've forgotten them.  I had a good letter
planned, but I don't know now..  I'm way too tired.  Maybe tomorow.

Yeah, study some.  But, I have found that a good night's sleep (for  
several nights in advance of the final) helps more than anything.  And, as  
long as you study enough so that you feel that you are moderately well  
prepared, you will *most likely* do well.  My advice (as unwanted/unneeded  
as it may be) is to study enough to do well, but don't study so much that  
you stress yourself out completely.  And, most of all, DON'T "CRAM"!!!   
You learn and remember a lot more if you study as you go along, instead of  
all at the same time.  If you cram, and you blank on what you learned one  
night, you are stuck!!  But finals aren't as bad as they are made out to  
be.  They really aren't a life and death situation!!

I do that all the time! Nothing wrong with eating icing without a cake.
Whenever I'm making a cake, I always make just enough icing so that there'll

Another form of computer music is uploading your files through the
modem and taping the phone line to get that cool static sound. Then
run in through a synth to harmonize it.

And while listening to the static, remember its REAL DATA.

     I would like to know:  Does anyone here watch Clarissa Explains It All?

     I could explain what it is, but I figure that if you don't know what it
is, the answer's no, and if the answer's yes, you must know what it is. :-)

I was sitting home this weekend and I as usual was watching NICK and I
saw a spot advertising about Clarissa Explains. I have not seen it yet
because during the week I am at school with no tv.

SIMPLE!!!! Because our little feet cant run that fast!
	I hope no one brings up the ever popular question of:
	If you were riding in a taxi cab at the speed of light and
 	you turned on your headlights, would they help to light your
	way???
