Yeah.. I know. I know loads of 'em all over the world.. I've ben at
it for about a year and a half now, and i've made quite a name for
myself *:) It's really handy... I'm even having a love affair via
email. If I ever go over to the states, I plan to have a person in
every state I can stay with (I'll mave on to cities from there. Of
course, if ever they're in Ireland, they've go somewhere to stay
too)

Yeah... I know it. The thing is, I started off with Annicka being my
fencing pupil, as I said. Of course, I was interested in her then
(her being Swedish and all), but only in my dreams did anything ever
happen.

I don't want one... I like the way I am (not?)
