I dont know if this thread will make more than 1 answer, (prolly not)but a girl has to do what a girl has to do!

And as I have a new digital-camera I had to take tons of pictures including one of me and my comp.

Well, I’m 27 and I still consider _myself_ a kid. 😉  
Anyway, I just noticed the mostly empty coke bottle on the monitor, so I take it back. 😛

I’ll get a picture of psycat and I in front of the 'puter when we get home tonight.

BTW everybody. There’s a nude picture of BD on her website, so make sure to check it out. I am not lying.

You need a new monitor, what is that thing, like a 14"? Get something bigger so you don’t go blind squinting at it.

I’m still pretty new to these boards, so most of you probably don’t know me yet, but I’ll bite. It just so happens I already have a picture of me sitting next to my computer (although all you can see of the computer is the keyboard).

Besides, BornDodgy is beautiful, and not TOO much younger than me. 🙂

If I had my digital camera with me, and if it had anywhere near non-shitty resolution capabilities . . .

**dropzone** - Got it.

The “Vielleicht haben Sie sich vertippt ?” line is what got me nervous. So nervous that I double posted.

“Vielleicht haben Sie sich vertippt?”  
roughly translated to english: Perhaps you have mis-typed?

**BornDodgy** , do you mind too much if I fall in love with you? No? Good.  
_wistful sigh_  
You also have wonderful taste in music, and an absolutely lovely voice.

Oh yeah, my pic. Here’s one: [http://home.austin.rr.com/sshipman/images/stevegood1.jpg](http://home.austin.rr.com/sshipman/images/stevegood1.jpg)

It’s not at the computer, but it is a pic of me!

Biffer, what kind of laptop are you using?

Now I will return to drooling. Thank you.
