[QUOTE=Dung Beetle] And you’re from England, so you have an accent too? I hope you won’t be offended if I say that I never want to meet you in real life. 'Cause if I did, I might be doomed to following you about at a short distance making worshipful puppy dog eyes. [/QUOTE] Same here, except I hope I do meet you in real life, and the “following at a short distance” would be more like “throw myself upon you.” ---

[QUOTE=rinni] :smack: I’m sorry, I always thought you were a guy! I don’t anymore. You’re a very pretty girl, I won’t forget that again! Hehe, I always read your nick as “drexel”, like Farley Drexel Hatcher, aka Fudge from the Judy Blume books which bear his name. [/quote] Heh… thanks, and most people do interpret it that way. 🙂 dre2xl as a handle was invented to accomodate a six-character limit of some kind… geez… that was nine years ago. In that time, only one person AFAIK has actually correctly guessed its meaning (hint: it’s semi-phonetic). BTW, Rinni, you’re gorgeous. Your teeth aren’t bad at all, and your “worst” pic is better than most any of our best pics. 🙂 ---

Eh, [why not](http://www.myspace.com/nicholasewalsh). For some reason I feel the need to point out that, although some of the photos in the “Pics” section show me smoking, I don’t actually smoke. I was just faking when a friend (who works in costume design for movies and TV) and I were having a dress-ups session. Nor do I normally wear turtle-necks and green velvet suits, although I am thinking of taking it up. ---
