yes, it actually makes me feel a lot better, seeing how much you've been
through. i think the problem was the at first, the shock i got to
realize there are people your age on this mailing list, while i have
been writing emails all this time assuming I'm talking to young people.
and i was thinking like, omg, these are people way older than me,
perhaps i should have addressed them in a different way? what if one of
my emails was considered rude when addressed to someone their age?
but then, come to think about it, it makes me feel a lot better now,
knowing I'm not always talking with young people with no experience,
specially, that when I'm talking to someone my age, i assume that this
person, like me, knows all his stuff from this short time experimenting,
the way i learn. whereas older people, take their experience from years
and years of using the same program, through it's many versions.
i like how you, Billie, describe the arrival at the pearly gates :P yes,
people need to enjoy their life to the fullest. I'm only 21, and i
already have loads of regrets about my teenage, that's when i decided
(about a year and a half ago) that i want to enjoy my life, and live
everyday like there's no tomorrow. :)
