Form: B, Style: B+, but Mittelwerk, my boy, I'm afraid content is
once again C. You seem like a smart enough kid (is this your mommie's
aol account? I know that one aol account can have several aliases),
but isn't there some corner of some teen-oriented newsgroup where
children can play with (and perhaps eat) there own and others feces?
Even if you're still in high-school, boy, there's plenty of
opportunity for more than onanism, drugs, rock'n'roll,and books. Get
out of the house. Get a life.
P-listers, why do I bother? Cause I don't want to take out the
frustrations in my life on anyone I care much about, and I don't have
a dog to kick. (Just joking about the dog, don't all you animal
rights activists....)
