There probably was at least one classmate who wanted to find a way to get booze out of one. You even have a Cube? Awesome.<BR/><BR/>'Fly--I really do have these "Did I write that?" moments.

This is a long overdue recommitment.<BR/><BR/>Bingley--honest? You're not laughing at my antiquated machine? I tried to upgrade to OSX but there were some files I lacked/couldn't find and didn't care to download. Support issues forced me to go to a Windows laptop for school, but for the serious business of writing it's the Mac. Runs great for my purposes. The only drag is my printer's down and I have no idea how to get it fixed!<BR/><BR/>Ashley--they got me hooked on both of those things in high school. ;) Now, if I could just convince other people they enjoy my writing so much that they'd pay for it.<BR/><BR/>Lindsay--hi!!! You're welcome; I'm glad to see my rantings about grad school haven't made you change your mind, ha ha.Kate Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555660993363611776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104141554191672231.post-51611187971870858852008-05-28T19:28:00.000-04:002008-05-28T19:28:00.000-04:00Dearest Kate,Thank you for the congratulations!
