Ok, cliff notes for the thread so far:
I wrote 8 pages of a story. Each and every page sucked. I trashed it, and I'm starting over. I've gotten the titles down, nothing more.

There's issues with the woman I really like. The biggest issue is the fact she has a boyfriend. No solution, not going to worry about it.

There, no one should be confused.

Write her a poem? Woo her away off her feet!

I don't do poetry, except for vulgar haikus. And she won't leave him, I know that. That's not an issue. I'm trying to gain the patience she tells me I need.

How did this turn into a YAGT? Damnit, I just want to whine about the 8 pages. :|

Well you're nowhere near Skywalker-level yet so it's all good.

Heh, ok. I did consider becoming a priest at one point. 😛

What faith are you part of?

I was Catholic at the time.

/me does his best not to start preaching.

But if you ever need to talk to someone about the catholic faith, feel free to talk to me.

And no, I'm not in the same boat as skywalker66.

A trial for Office V.X came with the powerbook. I figured I should use the 30 days while I can. I save them as .rtfs so I can edit them pretty much everywhere. 😉

Talk about a limited amount of choices 😛

I just remember my first mac experience.

Was using it for about 5 mins when I asked the teacher where the equivlant of the DOS prompt was (this was before my linux days). She told me there was none. I was like, wtf, what kind of POS OS is this with no console. I want my console damn it!
