French since 1st grade?  Yea, I guess that could help.  Kinda redundant

Sarah--
        So, you'd like to help?  I'm not sure exactly how he is going to check this, but the assignment is to make a friend outside of California by computer.  I appreciate you responding.  Anyway, I wrote to some guy by the name of Jason Sato last week, but never got a response.  You heard of him?  Anyway, I was wondering also if Paul Johnson has written to you.  He goes to my school and was being inconsiderate to a friend of mine, Charles Rising.  
        Anyway, a little about myself:  I live in San Leandro (close to San Francisco), and am a senior.  Next year, I will be attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA.  Possibly on a full scholarship.  I play violin.  I am also thinking about going to Syracuse University in NY. You hear of it?  Live anywhere near Syracuse?  
        I should go, close to the end of lunch.  I look forward to hearing from you.
                                                        -Brady

Hey everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself.  My name is Jim Beaubien and I'm 15 years old. umm...I live in Sunnyvale, CA (Bay Area).  Umm, I go to high
school, but I also take college classes for college credit. My ultimate goal
in life is to become rich, however right now I'm just getting my beginnings working at Togo's (just like Subway, the sandwich place, only a lot better).

I'd really like to get some mail from all of you out there (especially the
	ladies)

If there's anything else you want to know, then just ask!

AM>now... YOU REALLY HELPED ME!!! I am so happy. :)

Glad to be of service, Sir!  In other words, anytime!  Getting a pair isnt a problem, just pop into your local sports shop...

Well Australia is cool, basically!  I love it here, its really nice...I love all the beaches (even tho we dont live near any!) and I love the bush.  I live in boring suburbia, but there are excellent places to go!  Good luck with the drums!  Our next door neighbour pounds away on em sometimes and it sounds cool!

I like any music that sounds good...basically Myriah Carey, Boyz II Men, En Vogue, TLC, etc.

AM> Hey! I have a GREAT idea!!! I have a couple friends in
AM>Japan, and we write constantly... hint hint. Would you mind
AM>if I wrote to you with a picture or something??? I would

AM>so neat when these Japanese girls send me little things
AM>(oragami, cute chopsticks, pictures).
AM>ONLY IF YOU WANT TO!!! It's not like I'm forcing you... I
AM>would even try to rollerblade!!!!

Well, maybe!  THats all I'm saying cos its a lot easier to sit and type...but I'll think about it!  Lets face it, I'd love to have a pen pal from Canada and I have to admit I'd love a photo of ya!

Anyway, I gotta key off.....

Actually, I don't consider anything fun unless it is kinky.. and not that damn normal kinky stuff either.  For fun, I.. groom my beard.  Actually I don't.. I just let it grow.  I should shave it soon, women aren't very attracted to bearded guys, I noticed.  I look really cute when I've got a toque on though.. guess you don't need toques down in Nevada.. it's cold here, very very cold.  And I missed my lunch hour trying to plan a Thanksgiving Mass, where they won't even play Stairway to Heaven.  I thought i
t was appropriate.  I used to make things that go boom, until I almost set my mothers' kitchen on fire, along with my hand.  Very neat effect though, having a smokebomb go off in a kitchen.  Not much burned, except for some hairs on my fingers, the curtains and.. a pot was slightly incinerated.  I walk alot too.. especially in the rain, the only realy good time to go for a walk.  So, are you old enough to gamble down there?  Hmm.. you wish to know more about me?  Okay, well.. I'm 17 1/2, brown eyes, brown 
hair, black shoes, black sweater-like thing, black pen, cream colored keyboard (hey, get you're mind out of the gutter! we don't view those types of gifs here.. and if we did, I'd be sure you use some Kleenex.  My teachers get really mad when you get the keyboard all sticky).  Anyhow, I've got to read some Physics text (blech!) and then go and.. tell my teacher I'm here.  Anyhow.. write back or I'll put some weird curse on you.  Later WMS, 2nd of 2.

Lisa,  if its not cold there then maybe you do have ants.  You know those  (sometimes) weeny little bugs that have six legs and like to walk off with your food.  I found some big bull ants round at the local school on my walk to the lake (more like a big puddle).  Thos (not thos - but "they") are mean looking devils about 1.5 centimetres long with big pinchers.  What are your ants like?

When life gets you down what do you do?
Do you cry?
Do you moan in pain?
Just exactly what do you do?

When there is snow on the ground and you are warm inside, your mother asks you
 to go and shovel the walk, do you do it?  Or do you cry around about it?

When you and your boyfriend/girlfriend are fighting, do you go to him/her
 first or do you make him/her come to you?

When your hands are sore from writing on paper of typing on a keyboard, do you
 share you ache with somebody else or keep it to yourself?

When you are in a field of flowers and you lie down and see the clouds roll by
 and feel the wind over your body and watch a butterfly land on your toe, do
 you feel alive?  Do you shoo away the butterfly?  Do you cover your eyes from
 the sunrays?  Do you roll up in a ball?

When your hands are dry and cracking, but you are without lotion, do you ask a
 friend to use his/hers, or do you go without?

Some things in life are simple pleasures.  Some things in life you work for.
A child is a pleasure.  To keep that pleasure and happiness, you work for it.
Some people want children awfully bad.  Some people don't want children at
 all.  There are ways to have children without hurting anybody.  You can adopt
 a child of someone who does not want their's or who is not mature enough to
 handle a child.  Children are one of the most precious things that has been
 put on Earth.  Keep it that way.

If you have a friend who is pregnant and does not want to be.  Tell them that
 there are other ways.  Abortiois the choice of the person who has the baby
 inside of them, but also the choice of the father.  The child is half of the
 father's decision and half of the father's responsibility.  Adoption is a key
 to many upsetting situation's.  Sorry to be preachy.  But abortion isn't all
 it's cut out to be.  It hurts and bruises a soul forever.  If is a very hard
 decision and one that shouldn't be made by one person's self.  Please consider
 the outcome before the decision is made.  Thank you very much.
