With AC around the corner before the eve of my 19th year on this planet, I continue to regret not moving to the east coast, i regret listening to my parents' babble about going to a reasonable college instead of shooting for gold, and as habit is attributed, AC is often the final straw that tips my scales, as it were. I shall not be making much friendly contact with many of you until the commotion has died down over it; as friendly as I try to remain, the jealousy in me does flare up every time i'm reminded that I could have gone and simply didn't. This time there was no way, no special offer, no plans made, no chance. So i'll be in my self-loathing corner while the merriment goes on for now. Toodles
