Hi all!

Yes, I'm back in Oregon now after 4 fun filled months at an internship
in California.  It was cool, but now I'm back at school busier than
ever!  I go to school, then to work then come home and do homework!
Plus my birthday was on monday and I had to study for a midterm
today, but I just wanted to say thanks to all the ratsers who sent
me birthday wishes!  Thanks!  It made my day!!!! :)  Unfortunately,
I never get to see AMC anymore *snif*, but maybe I'll be able to 
convince karin c to save her tapes for me. :)  Anyway, now that I've
FINALLY caught up on all the articles *phew*, I thought I'd comment
on a few things....:)  (ok, beware, this is long! ;)

Changing your name:  I haven't yet, I dont know if I will, but I do
know that I dont really like my last name.  No one can ever say it
right or spell it.  So, maybe I will change my name on day...

Teens on soaps:  I like the teen story lines... and especially haley,
cept when she's being (as my friend scott always says) whiney! ;)
I just cant stand the haley/charlie storyline...GAG!  BLEH!  PTOOEY! 

Which newsgroups I read: ACK!  I subscribe to too many!  I couldn't
possibly list them all here...:)  but I do read rec.humor.funny,
all the pdx, pnw, orst, corv, clari.local.oregon, etc. groups, one
star trek group, and well...some others. :)  Heh.  I dont read them
religiously though...only when I've caught up on my homework as you
can see. :)

Gloria's hair:  Man I wish I had curly hair!  -nuff said. *sigh*

Now, for something all my own...*sigh* stay with me if you've made it 
this far. ;)  When I was in california, I got to visit with a friend
I've known via the computer for many years.  While there, I found out
that he was a closet AMC fan!!!  I told him about this newsgroup and
loved reading all the posts.  He hasn't quite got the guts yet to 
post, but maybe if I keep begging he will.  Anyway, while there we
did lunch a few times and he ALWAYS orders this dish called HUMMUS.
Hummus is a whitish gooey type dish made mostly of garbonzo beans.
Well, Scott (that's his name - hi bud!) absolutely *LOVES* hummus,
whereas quite frankly I can take it or leave it.  This totally 
disturbed him because he just could not fathom how someone can NOT
like hummus!!  *sigh*  I told him that not everyone could possibly 
like hummus and of course he insisted that yes, everyone does indeed
LOVE hummus and I was simply the only person on the planet that didnt.
*SIGH*  So, he bet me to post to the newsgroup the follow questionaire:

(a) Do you know what Hummus is?

(b) Have you ever had Hummus?

(c) If you have, on what level did you enjoy Hummus?

	1-couldn't possibly live without it.
	2-enjoyed it thoroughly
	3-liked the taste
	4-desired it's creamyness
	5-have had better before, but it was still good
	or finally,
	6-could have taken it or left it. :)

and of course last but not least...
(d) do you think Tad likes Hummus better than chicken fingers?

Ok, keep in mind, this was NOT my idea!  However, I *was* dared and
well, I couldn't pass up this opportunity! ;)  So, please let my dear
sweet friend know how you feel about Hummus, his email is:
bosozoku@cats.ucsc.edu and he LOVES to get email. :) *wave* hi scott! :)


Ok...lastly I just saw a post from someone who asked what this was:
:-) 

Well, if you made it this far, I'll tell you!  It's a sideways smiley!
(tilt head to the left to get the full impact).  And just to show you
what a great person I am, I'll even throw in the complete smiley 
dictionary and waste a whole bunch of bandwidth! :) hehehehe.  Just in
case some of you havent seen it, and for those that have, yes I did
chop off the last half of it, cuz well...some of those are rather um..
well..to be quite honest, DUMB!! :)  But if you'd like, you can email
me and I'll send you the complete file. :)

Now...that's it...yes...I've finally finished rambling!  Hurray! ;)

Until the next time I have a few minutes to post (or when I simply 
cant keep my mouth shut ;), take care and god bless!!!
