Hello out there... Happy 2001! Today is a big day. Not only is today oneoneone, but it is also the day I've found the courage to type out my first post to Sinister. My name is Lauren. I'm 16, and I like to sing, write, paint, and draw, although I can do none of those things very well. I like music too. Some people know me as "oranges." That's my nickname when I chat in #sinister, where I have made some very weird, but sweet friends. Usually while I'm chatting I'm painting something, and the paints get on my fingers. So, I have a very colorful keyboard. I picked my nickname because I just started typing in words that came into my head until I found a nickname that wasn't already taken by some IRC chatter out there. I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana. The weathermen got our hopes up and told us it might snow early this morning, but they were wrong. No snow. I probably would have been devastated if I had been awake at 6 am. I am a pretty big fan of Iron Chef, so you can imagine how I danced around when I discovered that there was a MARATHON on today. That's what I did today. I watched Iron Chef, ran around the street, and painted some things. I think it's going to be a good year. See, the reason I never posted before is because I never had much of anything interesting to say, and I still don't. Oh well. Take care! Lauren PS don't worry this won't happen again __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
