wow…do I ever feel lonely. I was seeing the perfect guy for a little while, then he left me for a 28 year old bisexual druggie a few states away (he’s only 18, I’m 20).I just wish I could be as happy as all of you seem to be…so if there’s any doper guys out there ;)…you people are all so cool (guys and girls), I’m just glad to be able to hang out and occasionally post. I’m in love with **ALL** of you!!!

Hear, hear. Gods know I waited longer to sleep with dpr than I did any other man I’ve dated. What was it…like five months? Geeez…

Hey, buying a car is a major decision. It must be studied, analyzed, etc… please tell \*\* TruePisces \*\* that… (I’m stalling, she’s "Get something else, WHATEVER…)  
Hope I didn’t offend anyone, not my intention.

Well, the idea of marrying **Anniz** or **Nymysys** would make me hyperventilate, too, but probably not for the reasons you’re thinking…
