Howard Zinn! Okay, that probably won't happen, so how about people who also admire Howard Zinn? heh Nah, seriously, I'm interested in finding old friends and also making new ones, so send me a message if it looks like we have something in common. Just don't message me to ask me if I want to have sex with you (whether the question is explicit or implicit). Let me save you the trouble: no, thanks. If you're intelligent, and are actually interested in conversation rather than anonymous sex, then I'd love to chat with you. Sorry to be so blunt, but I've received lots of creepy "girl u so cute" messages, and enough's enough. heheLast but not least, everyone associated with Colorado Mountain Ranch. I miss you guys! Much love. See you next summer.
