Well, after reading Chris' introduction, I thought that I would officially
introduce myself to the newsgroup too (although I have already posted some
messages and also e-mailed Andrew).

My name is Vikki Larson.  I am a first-year (that's freshman for non-
politically correct people) student in college in Minnesota.  Unless you  
are from the Midwest, you haven't heard of my school, so don't worry.  I  
originally come from California.  A little town that is a suburb of San  
Francisco, that you haven't heard of (even if you are from California).  

I don't know too much more exciting to say.  I guess that life here really  
isn't that thrilling.  Gee, school never is.  Oh, well.  I guess that we  
all know that.  

All for now, expect to hear some other things from me, because I am a  
rather vocal (written, not spoken) person.

_My_ mom doesn't mind if I occasionally let loose with the odd obscenity--after
all, she taught me most of the ones I use.  She never had problems about 
using bad language to me when I was just a little squirt either--she figured
that I would at least learn when it was appropriate to swear and when it
was not appropriate to swear.

You will eventually...  Hmm I feel like a spew so here I go!

Today...  My Cousin and her family (uncle/aunty/2cuz's), came ovre for
lunch today... my cousin Zoe, she's  14,  bought  a  friend  with  her
called  Rachel...   (rachel changed schools about 5 weeks after I did,
except  she  changed to the school I left, otherwise we would hve been
in most of the same classes)... We talked abit about school  and  they
all went out and ate while I cleaned up this room (as I had had  lunch
and  I'm  at my nans for a few weeks while we have mega renovations on
our house.. anyway they came to have lunch with my nan and mum  wanted
me  to stay out of the way... I had queen playing while I was cleaning
up..  after  lunch rachel came in here and said... Was that We are the
Champions that I just heard, and I say "Yeap... U like Queen?" and she
says that she adores em... and we listened to my queen collection then
went  and watched greatest flix ][ (video clips)... Hmm  My cousin Zoe
thinks  I am a real intellectual computer-head (tho she wont call me a
nerd..)  but  she  goes pretty close... she reckons I cant get on with
any  of the sorta people that she does and today I prooved her wrong..
she  hardly  said a thing all day...  anyway..  I really like her best
friend, the one who likes queen and i am Positive something else would
have happened if my little cousin (ZOe's little  sister)  didn't  come
into this room when me and Rachel were  talking...  coz  Zoe's  little
sis. bought my brothers in too etc... anyway it was an alright  day...
Tho me and my girlfriend may break up soon... she seems a little hmm i
dont know but it just seems like she has someone else... anyway  i  am
spewing away here.. i'll continue replying to Aliza's article now..
Anyway turns out me and Rachel get on really well and  have  heaps  in
common...

No, I meant *anyone*... lots of universities offer pacx service with telnet.
All you need is a modem. I've used these public telnet services to connect
to my account back here. Problem is finding out the phone number, and finding
out if the local university offers such a service.

I don't mean like an account, I mean you call a number, connect, and it says
"which service" or "which class" and you type "telnet". That's it.

I'm posting, 'cause Wicca is in my books, a Cool Thing[tm].  It basically
involves one-ness with the environment--oh, they have a Goddess, like
Christianity has a God, but the Goddess is one to be more respected and
honored than simply worshipped.  Hmm...if you're a Christian, thou shalt
not suffer a Wiccan to live--yes, Wicca is essentially witchcraft.  If
you know anything at all about witchcraft, you'll know that it's nothing
to do with casting spells to turn people's children into toads.  At
any rate, that's all I can remember about Wicca at this time of day, having
had no sleep yet %-)...if I think of anything else, I'll mention it.

This may come as a big surprise to you, but there are any number of ways to
interpret the Bible. I also don't particularly enjoy seeing people dictate ways
of preferred behaviour -- I feel a bit sorry for those who have every facet of
their existence controlled by their faith.

People who are of that point of view usually find it a hard sell because it
really isn't true. Sure, I agree that there are people who swear all the time
because they don't know what else to say. However, none of the people in this
group are of that variety. I haven't used a 'naughty' word here because I
haven't found it necessary yet, but if I did feel like using one, I would
without hesitation. Why? Because this is an area where people can say what
they like, plain and simple.

Trying to convince people not to swear (especially teenagers) is a waste of
your time. For those who just can't bear to see those terrible words, I suggest
using a kill file.

No ....  This question (above) was once sent to my very  good  a  dear
friend  :-)... Mr. Oracle (oracle@cs.indiana.edu ??? I think thats the
address)  anyway  he said in a heap of words and a lot of rubbish that
it would sit in Mid air...  I will see if  i  can  dig  up  his  exact
answer it's  probably  laying  around  /usr/jarqui/stuff/funnynews  or
soemwhere like that...
