wow, seems like i have alot of catching up to do..
first of all, it sucks cause i can't come to your thing either aaron, this might be surprising but i was actually looking forward to going..but instead i have to go to work. my love life is just going swimmingly (and by that i mean slow and uneventful)..i'm hanging out with this guy from work on sunday..no chelsea, it's not jerry :P
second, in reference to your question, i can think of many scenarios in my head where i would be swept off my feet by the simplist gestures (i guess i'm just easy to impress...) i think it just has to make you feel lucky you have the person you're with..i guess that's pretty general, but i can tell you that i really don't like grand gestures..they scare me. it raises the whole question of commitment or whatever, i would really be weirded out if the guy i'm seeing constantly asks me "where is this going?" (unless if we've been together for a long time, then that would be good) but yeah, i guess i've gone off topic a bit..
and number three, i guess we don't have to do secret santa if no one wants to but i thought you guys liked presents...i know i do. but yeah, if some of you want to buy presents for everyone in the group, then be my guest.
i guess that's all of now...are we doing anything until exams end?

ann

hey aaron,
i don't think i'm going to come not that i don't want to...it's just that i have 2 finals and 4 days to study.
I had my hep b vaccine in grade 8 so i should be okay.
and yes hep b isn't curable.

just to clarify

britta never had hep b. she was vaccinated when she went to cuba, so when she came back and tried to donate blood, it detected the antibodies she had. so now she's not allowed to donate blood anymore. i don't think hep b is curable anyways...

aaron: i will try my bestestest to be there tomorrow. hectic day so i don't want to make any promises, but you will definitely be in my plans!

Zee art show tomorrow

So tomorrow I'm playing at the East Third Gallery (I think that's the name of it...) located at 1898 Main St. (by E. 3rd Ave.) My set is from 7:15 - 7:45. It's an affordable art show, so the art that is being sold is going to be around $5 - $25, i'm told, which is really cool. It would be great if at least one of you could come out, but it's okay if you can't, cuz my mom's going to be there. Yay.

~~Aaron

P is for Pathogenic

So the Worlds AIDS Day thing is on December 1st, which is this upcoming saturday. It starts at 7:00, and ends around 10:00, I think. And I also have another show at this art show on Friday (tomorrow). It's somewhere on Main St. and my set is from 7:15-7:45 (half hour set! Yay!) but I still need to talk to Lillian to get more details (she's organizing it, sort of). I'll let you guys know.

I haven't thoroughly thought about birthday plans or anything, but soon...

Yes, Chelsea, you've expressed your dislike about people buying/naming stars for other people. I also didn't know that Britta used to have Hep B, but then again, it's not like close to her or anything.

I don't know about what the most romantic thing a guy can do. It's bound to be one of those questions you guys ask from time to time (ie. "Who would you choose? Aaron Fung or Kevin Lau?") As for Lily's thing about a guy being sweet all the time, I think it would get really annoying after a while (if that's all he ever said/did). Cuz, then it just seems like he's trying too hard. Once in a while sweet is good for me.

Ann: am I the only one who doesn't know about your adventure to the mountain? What happened? How's your love life?

Joanne: Like everyone else said, I hope your patient makes it through. Is there a good chance that she will?

Chels: Like with what Lily said, sometimes you need to tell people (in this case, your group) to f-off. Is the workload unfairly balanced then?

Lily: So you're coming on Saturday right? And please, let's all hear about the latest Kevin Lau news.

All: secret Santa? I don't mean to dampen spirits, but we can barely get together for my birthday (unless you want to exchange presents that day).

It's a little more than one week before my final theory exam... forever! I really want to get this RCM shit over and done with for good and get my friggin' certificate. Stupid RCM.

Do you think guys also go through a PMS-like thing? It's a random question, I know.

~~Aaron

So what is the most romantic thing a guy can do for me?

Well that's hard to say. I don't want this (whatever he's doing) to be a one time thing. He should be a sweety all the time. i don't know. I know this isn't much of an answer but i would like it if we just spent time together. Gifts are nice but i think just some nice private time together alone AND NOT WITH HIS FAMILY...is good. I like jon's family but they're always home...obviously cause they live there.

Ann: i'm glad you're alive. i don't know about secret santa...i don't want to spend money. I think i'll just make all of you guys my special lemon squares :D

CHels: if your group mates are pushing everything on you, i'd tell them to f*** off.! Don't be a push over. Also i can see why people wouldn't want to get married so it's not that bad. I want to but i understand why people wouldn't want to and it doesn't surprise me that you don't...(not in an offensive way)

Joanne: I hope your patient feels better and makes it through. About the pharmacy thing, well i think your pharmacy only sees you as a volunteer. I mean, if they can get you to work for free, why wouldn't they? If you want to be a tech, just apply to be one, not a volunteer since now you have experience.


Late thing, KEVIN IS SUCH A DINK! I don't really need to elaborate because i think this is a well-known fact. I'm too tired to explain online so if you want to know, you can ask me. THe 8am classes for 3 months are really taking a toll. i have a final tomorrow...

haha, who's up the earliest now?

Warning: This is long and mostly not informative anything... It's just very early and my brain is just dead... Just scroll down until you read the yellow!!! Just answer the question and I'll be happy. :) (I'm going to point out that I said "just" about 4 times in the past 3 sentences to give you an idea of what the rest of this post is like...)

Basically: So no one complain about how long this is! I'm telling you now! (I'm also going to point out that my disclaimer is about the size of a normal person's post... hahaha)

ha!

just kidding! i didn't really wake up this early... i just didn't go to sleep! mwahahahahahahahahahaha!

i'm so gonna regret this tomorrow... or today, i guess i mean.

working on agsc paper... just trying to get my part done and out of my face. i did a lot today :) probably because of all this extra time not spent sleeping... i'm surprised i'm not tired!

you know where you get to the point where you're so tired you're not tired anymore? hmm... well, i took at nap..? usually i wake up at like, 630 so this is gonna be a weird day...

anyways, agsc is stupid and my group people are making me feel bad. you know when you get stuck with a job that seems like you're doing nothing, but really, it's a lot of work? well i'm stuck with that job for this project, and people keep giving me more things to do. and i quote,

"just get chelsea to do it"

ahhhh ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

good to hear from you again, joanne. and you too ann.

i don't think i want a promise ring... unless it's very fancy and expensive. but then why would you spend so much money on a not-really-for-anything ring? then again, why would i want a cheap crap ring?
okay, quick conclusion: i don't want one. (i learned something about myself today :) )

i guess i'm not the person to ask: will NOT accept diamonds, and i don't even know if i want to get married. if i did, it would probably be for financial/"political" reasons. i know that sounds bad, but i just mean that marriage is just a formality with way too much... expectation and like, crazies, in my opinion. if i get married, it will be so the government legally recognizes us, i think. (for like, you know, insurance and banking and taxes, etc) because i guess to me, weddings just seem like expensive parties...
new conclusion: wow i really am not a romantic, hmm? i also think it's the stupidest thing in the world to buy someone a star!!! if someone (ie, a guy) bought me one, i'd be so pissed off! why would you do that???? i also don't like getting flowers. well, it's more like i don't like taking care of them once i get them so they die and i feel bad. i feel mean now :(

*sigh*

okay guys, question: what's the most romantic thing a guy could do for you? (that you like, i mean. not like, the most cliche thing you can think of :P )

lily: oh yeah, your blood gets tested for hep b now so don't go if you've just been vaccinated; britta got a letter from them saying that she used to have hep b and now she's never allowed to donate again (she talked to people there and stuff but they said no).

all: why do we want to do secret santa, again?

jo: hospitals seem kind of scary... too white and demicrobialized for my liking. i hope she's okay... do you know what's "wrong"?

aaron: answer previous question (the one in my last post somewhere...) you do not get a new question until you finish with the last one!

ann: let's go shopping :) and let's see your new shirt... hehehehe... (you know, the t shirt? that is purple? or whatever colour????)

sorry this is so long...

-chels :)

Sorry guys I haven't posted much b/c I'm so exhausted.  My first final is for stats and I know I'm very screwed -_-

I was kinda sad today.. This resident that I visit weekly at the UBC hospital is in the emergency room.  I have a feeling she's not going to make it.  She's a really nice lady and I wish for all the best but I still have that weird feeling..

I'm thinking how long I should continue with volunteering at PHS.  They just hired a pharmacy technician and she's not even in Pharmacy school (she's not even a student at UBC).  I'm just confused cuz the manager was always like "Oh Joanne you've learned a lot.  You're doing really well blah blah blah" but then he goes off and hires a technician?  Couldn't he just train me? As soon as he hired her, he finally made me an official PHS nametag.  Is this an "I'm sorry" gesture or "you've been volunteering long enough so I'll make you a nametag but I don't expect you to stay long" ?  I ponder this all the time but then again, I just go "screw it, i'm gonna go play my nintendog"

fa la la

i've always heard people say promise ring but it's one of those things that i didn't bother to look into...but now that i know, i must say it seems like a pretty big deal lily...i hope you weren't freaked when you found out..
sorry i haven't been replying, i started one a couple days ago but that was right before class and i didn't finish it. there was really a thick layer of snow on burnaby mountain today...it wasn't bus-trappingly thick but nonetheless it got me excited :)
so um, when are we doing the secret santa thing? i have to find out soon cause it's not like i have that much time after exams to shop so i have to do it now. i really want to watch you perform for the aids thing, aaron. what time is it again? cause i have work on saturday and i'd have to leave before 5. so how goes the birthday plans? i'm always here to help if you need someone to think of a theme or bake a cake or whatever..

ps. i decided to be lame and go with the flow with the colour thing

ann

Actually, i would really appreciate it if ann replied cause it's scary how little she's been posting and how much i have in comparison...it should be the other way arounf fyi.

i know if jon gives me one, he'll mean it (not that if other people give one they don't) but we take things slow cause we don't want to screw anything up. Jon's friend has been dating this girl for 9 months (less time than jon and i have been together) and he's already getting his girlie a promise ring because the girl wants one...but is it even meaningful anymore...i mean if the girl wants one it's not really a gift the guy would get her on his own right?

I guess i'm happy that we're taking thigns slow but you always hear how girls get rings (promise rings) but they break up...well it's going to turn into the "i love you thing" where it doesn' t mean anything anymore.

now jon and i say that we miss each other more...because before we barely verbalized it but i do miss him more...i don't think i told you but i told him i loved him and THIS time i meant it...well last time i meant it too but..yea i know better now.

i have to donate blood at 2:15 on sat (a day after my period thank you very much)...so i'll go to the AIDs thing if chels or ann goes and it's after that time...
I didn't plan to donate my blood but they called saying they need my blood type..,well actually they need about a few hundred people's blood ...i'm b+ i think

anyways enough with me blabbing...aaron you should take that job...and give me a discount!!!

ann...come back down from the mountain.

Grrrrrreen team!

aarie, you know i do the neon thing!

i knew what a promise ring was! (thank YOU sabrina the teenage witch! just kidding) it is kind of a big deal (or should be) because it's like a pre-engagement ring. well, in my head at least. to me, it's like an engagement ring but more "in the future." if i got an engagement ring (ie, he proposed) i would expect to start planning a wedding sometime soon, y'know? but a promise ring is like, i love you, i promise to be yours (ie, probably get married? just not right now?). y'know? like at this age, wouldn't it be weird to be married? especially without a steady job, it's super super expensive/scary seeming. so it's just a "claim" kind of..?

i say as soon as you get asked out, you're bf/gf, but that's where aarie and i differ in views. of course, it depends most importantly on the specific relationship and the consensus between you two... but you're wrong, aaron!!!

what time is the world aids day thing, again? (that's the same day as dan's dad's bday... i think i'm expected to go as i've missed about the last 3-4 family dinners because of work!!! ahhh)

life is good without work... i mean, it's not like i don't have enough to do without it! i can't even remember how i got by for 2 years working during school!!!

definitely take the job, aarie! it's fun because you get to be with the people at work that you like, you get money (can anyone say time and a half on holidays?), you get your discount back for a while, you get something to keep you busy! as long as you're sure you've got the time...

lily, i've got about 100 disney movies (the old ones... on video cassette..!) (i don't actually know how many i have, but there are a lot of them)! after exams?

aarie, let's plan your partaaaaay!

ann, don't get stuck on the mountain tomorrow! (bring homework to do!)

joanne, where are you?

-chelsea

Q is for Quint

For a minute, I thought it was Chels because of the green but then it wasn't.

If it's any consolation, Lily, I didn't really know about the promise ring thing either. Hell, I've barely heard of it before (maybe all of 2-3 times?) so I don't really know what it's about. But yeah, it sounds like a big deal. Does it look like a normal ring? What's holding you back from wanting one? Is it just because it's a big step?

And I think there's a difference between dating someone and being in a relationship (ie. bf/gf) or at least that's what I learned from watching stupid Degrassi: The Next Generation. Dating is when you're starting to get to know the person, and you don't consider them your bf/gf. Then after that it's the bf/gf thing, which is when you're in a committed (if that's been established. Hey, there are open relationships) relationship. And I guess that reasoning makes sense, so I follow it, not that I even have to apply that to myself, haha. I was talking with a friend today at school and she seemed surprised that I had never been on a date before and even more so when I told her I only had one real relationship, and that was only a few months ago. People in general seemed surprised, and I guess it surprises me a tiny bit too.

Good luck on all your exams, guys. I know when all your exams are!!! (the green circling on my calendar)

Are you guys coming to the World AIDS Day thing this Saturday? Apparently, I'm going to be playing for only 10-15 minutes, but I'm okay with that. Conor's going to be there (If any of you care, which you probably don't because you met him all of one time)

Lily: let me know when we're going caroling
Ann: Andrew doesn't remember me... but he remembers you!
Chels: How's life now that you're not working?
Joanne: Donde estas? Hope you're not stressing too much

I'm considering going back to Futureshop for a seasonal thing. Besides, every time I'm in there, my manager asks something along the lines of, "How are you? Are you looking for meaning in your life?" And I'm not swamped with school at the moment, and I don't think it's going to get worse or anything. What do you guys think?

Digimon (first season only!!) was an awesome show. I wish it was still on.

~~Aaron

hey yall,
i'm using colour now...
i can't believe that me and jon have been dating for 1 year now. It's really crazy.
I also can't believe that i didn't now what i promise ring was...i always thought that it was just a symbol of your bf/gf status...not that it was a promise to marry me someday.
i found out on saturday actually.
before i really wanted one because i'm jon's gf and that's what the ring meant...that i'm his gf...but now that i know what it actually stands for, i'm not sure if i really want one.
no wonder jon kept on saying, i get you one when it's time...in my mind i'm like, wth, i'm your gf....but actually i'm just silly.

ann are you still alive and well? i haven't heard from you in FOREVER!
aaron i hope all is well.
chels, hi! you too joanne.
It's FINAL TIME. IT'S FINAL TIME!
I really want to have a disney-fest chels!

ciao for now...lily

I don't know if it's just me, but i find it hard to be happy.
Maybe it has sometime to do with my family which i'm sure it does, or maybe my disappointment in school or maybe the fact that i despise going home but everything just seems to get gloomier by the minute. i don't know why. it's not like i don't try to be more optimistic but when i TRY to be optimistic, it's just a cover to hid all the flaws and postpone my imminent sadness.
I try to be more proactive because i don't feel like i've achieved enough but still, it's not enough.

i don't know what to do.
I have jon and he is the only thing that makes me happy but that's it.
I try harder in school when i'm not satisfied with my marks but that ounce of achievement, for working harder, is immediately stolen from me by my over achieving brother who asks about my marks every single time i see him.

Sigh.

Aaron, i think we'll only have 2 parts, girls and guys. Don't ask bekki just yet.
i don't think i'm going to come this sunday cause i need to start studying.
i went to disney on ice. it was soooo good. i'll elaborate later if you want.
lily

R is for Retribution

The 16th sounds like a good time to have the party, it seems. I don't really care if whether or not I get presents that day (London Drugs can be a cool place to get stuff. Or at least that's what I think.) So I guess the 16th it is.

One of my friends at school wants to take me out on my birthday and get me drunk. Another friend told her, "You know, just because you're turning legal age, doesn't mean you have to go out and get drunk.", to which I agreed. I told her that alcohol doesn't taste very good, and she gave me this look and said, "There is good-tasting stuff! You just haven't tried it yet." Right. Okay then.

I'm totally up for caroling! I hated doing it back in high school, but hey, I'm not humiliating myself in front of the entire school now (I'm humiliating myself in front of everyone else...) Bass power! I can talk to Bekki about joining us if you want, but you're right, she's a big flake. Also, do you have actual 3 or 4 part harmony for songs or are you going to go to Ms. Comfort and ask her or something? Or are we just doing it all in unison? (that's no fun)

I sent an e-mail to you guys already, but I'm going to be performing on World AIDS Day (December 1st). It would be awesome if you guys could come out!

That's all for now. Sunday game night?

~~Aaron

i'm okay with 16th but aaron if you must have a present on that day, the day after my exam, it may be from london drugs. I can always give you a pres later...so i won't get you on the 16th cause then i'll have time to think of something mildly decent for you but if nothing comes to mind, then you get NOTHING...jk it will just be from london drugs./

I went to costa blanca yesterday and they were having a 50% off eveything sale. i bought a cute "top" although it's a little lower than mid of my thigh. It was only $12.
WOOHOO!

I think i'll ask klau to join so we get some nice harmony or something close to it...also i want maybe 2 more people. i was thinking britta or becki but i don't know...i'm not sure if they're reliable...CUASE I DON"T KNOW THEM..not because they're NOT chinese or native in your case chels...lol...jk!

Jon doesn't want to do it...maybe i can get geoff...he works at iga so i can find him...
ann will have left by then so ann you're missing out...
hm...if aaron and chels you're in, and we can get 2 more peeps then i'll set up the carolling.
It will definitely be after exams...i was thinking 23 cause it's close to christmas and not on christmas eve...so it will be nice...and we can dress up even :D...imagine aaron, kevin and geoff being an elf yet they are taller than me and you chels...lol

Anyways ttyl
Anni was good.jon took me to the secret garden. it wasn't much of a secret but it was very enjoyable.
ann i want a canadian 3 cheese stuffed crust pizza PLEASE

heya

lily: sounds good. i'm warning you though, i have no ability to read music... i just follow what people beside me are doing and match it... so i don't know how that's going to work :P

ann: i think that's good for everyone because from what i remember you finish the last for exams so that means everyone else is done :) WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THIS BEFORE???

aaron: talk to me!!!

joanne: hmm... still checking up on us? :(

-chels

ring-a-ding-ding

I just found out (or rather overlooked before) that i have one day in between when i have to leave and my last exam. it's the 16th (sunday) so aaron we can celebrate your birthday then if you wish :) but i can't stay up too late tho.

ann

Do you guys want to be a christmas caroller?
I was thinking of doing it for the richmond hospital where jon's mom works. I think it will be fun. I was planning on doing it on dec 23...so ann you're going to miss the fun. Aaron, chels, this will give us time to practice and stuff.
tell me what you think

lily

you guys may have problems but i bet you mine beats all of yours hands down.

1) we're going to move in around 4 months (i know i've said this before but something makes me think this will actually happen) so my family will be separated

2) my house has mold on the walls and a black rat.

3) my brother George is the biggest douche bag out there. Whenever he doesn't have money to pay for his weed or cigs, he harasses Bill.

4) My brother George is SUCH a big douche bag that he spits on my food and calls me fat and ugly which might i add is a new low.

5) i'm crying now because my brother George is SUCH a big douche bag that he spits on my food and calls me fat and ugly which might i add is a new low.- this is the first time he did this so i haven't been exposed to this before which explains the crying.

6) it's depressing to come home

7) i hope the rat eats George.
I like adding this line because it makes me slightly happier.
This is how demented i've become. When big brother asked me if my family had been diagnosed with any mental disorders i said no but after i said that i began to question my answer.

The positive:
i can develop a thick neck which is always good
but on the way of developing it, it requires a lot of tears and sadness..and a rat...lol

Un regalo

We're meeting at my house at 5:00-ish (Lily has informed me that she's going to come a bit later)

~~Aaron

hmm...

so what time are we meeting?

-chels

bloop

wow lily..i really don't know what to say to that...did you make it with microsoft paint? i can tell some of the strokes were done with the spraypaint tool...

ann

nothing at all, nothing at all!!!

i feel like i should post but i don't really have anything to say.

i like pie!!!

oh yeah and today is my official last day of work (as opposed to what, i don't know. my unofficial last day?). it's scary but kind of good, i think.

umm... hmm... well... i guess i will see everyone tomorrow? oh yeah, what time aarie? ann said 5 but since we're going to your place is that okay with you? i need to get home before 10ish probably or else things will be bad (last time we left at 10 or whatever i was really cranky and dan was pissing me off so much i wanted to break up with him... he was being nice to me after though and it's hard to stay mad at someone who's not mad at you so yeah). just as a side note... because i HAVE to sleep by 9-10 now or else... i... fall asleep no matter where i am? i don't know. i get really mad; it's really ridiculous but my body's pretty set at this pattern, i guess.

season 3 of veronica mars is out on dvd!!! so much draaaama! (so many people get raped... it's kind of scary. not that you see it happen but just the fact that it happens... anyhow...)

-chels :)

It's the WEEKEND!!! But not just any weekend....it's a LONG WEEKEND!!!

More time for me to catch up on my VERY VERY needed sleep.

This is the image i sent for the AIDS digital quilt Aaron. Like I said, i would do it.

It's nothing fancy but i think it is symbolic of how life as you see it depends on the eyes you see it with.

Anyways going to sleep. I took a nap with jon at about 9:45pm and woke up at 10:40pm. Sigh...icouldn't even wait to get home to sleep. THAT'S HOW TIRED I WAS but the nap was good.
OMG OMG. Our 1 year anni is on Nov 18 which is a week and a day away.ARGH.

I want to stop by at aaron's on sunday for games cause it will be a group thing since chels can come but i also want to show you my anni gift...but i'm not sure if you will understand it so maybe not. I mainly want to show ann that i'm not artistically challenged.

so...

wow aaron i do telephone surveys for pizza hut sometimes and i've gotta say people flirting with me is the most dreaded of what i have to go through. I don't mind it, but like you said, i'm also not that candid so it turns out to be quite an awkard experience for myself and the person on the other line. here's a few of the weird conversations that i've had so far:

me: hi, i'm just calling back to check how your dining experience was today?
guy: IT WAS DA BOMB!!! PIZZA HUT IS FREAKING AWSOME (people laughing in the background)
me: well...i appreciate that...
guy: i appreciate you
me: well..thank you.
yadda yadda yadda

and this was a call in order:

me: thank you for chossing pizza hut...blah.
guy: blah blah blah (his order) blah
me: okay that'll be 5o mins for delivery, we're really busy right now
guy: 50 mins?!? well can you pull a few strings and get ours delivered first?
me: no, i can't do that
guy: have i mentioned how pretty you are?
me: you can't see me.
guy: yeah, but you sound pretty (ppl laughing in background)
me: well there are no drivers here at the moment so it doesn't matter how pretty i am.
guy: oh...i guess we'll pickup then.

and then there's just ppl that swears at you continually and i just stand there and hold the phone a few inches away from my face. anyhoo hopefully my misery was amusing to you all.

on another note, is 5pm okay for everyone for games night?

ann

S is for Sputnum

So I just got off the phone with a guy asking me questions about mouthwash, which lasted for almost half an hour. It was kinda painful, actually... but then it became more fun when, especially when he apologized for his pronounciation because he's French. I like French guys. I told him I like French people. :)

Blah blah blah... Listerine this... god, I don't know how I could stand talking about friggin' mouthwash for so long. There was one question that I thought was kinda funny: "How therapeutic do you consider mouthwash to be?" Therapeutic? Yeah, cuz whe I'm down in the dumps, I just need to rinse my mouth with a green, burning liquid. That'll solve all my probelms and make me feel better. I questioned him on this, and he said he was sorry that he couldn't clarify the question more for me. Are survey people recorded on what they say? I think so, or else you could just spend the entire day girl-talking to people.

At one point he was describing a Listerine commercial to me, but he pronounced the word "aisle" as "ay-zul" which I laughed off the phone because it reminded me of a Friends episode where Gunther says "ay-zul" as an insult. Ah... funny French guy.

And another funny moment, now that I think about it: "Are you single, in a relationship, married, divorced, or widowed?" To which I answered, "[long, long, sigh].... single."

And the very end: "Once again, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Have a good evening."

"Thanks you Mr. French. Bye."

I've always secretly wanted to flirt with telemarketers or weird survey people, but I don't think I'm that candid. I'm really self-conscious about what I say, especially over the phone or in person. Only when I'm online, when I'm typing things out that it gets easier, just because i don't have to deal with immediate reactions.

Sigh................ single.

Oh, Chels, we didn't talk about being my new manager! Are you still interested?

The November edition of Youthink should be out. I haven't seen my article yet, but I'm excited.
