most of you will love me...

others will hate the fact that they like me too, and anyone else... i probably havent met them yet. all narcissism aside, my name is Alissa, a 20 something girl from southern california. who sadly, has lost almost all her faith in her once great nation. noting the fact that i have yet to actually experience any greener grass [i.e.- another country] and their accompanying culture, i spend my days daydreaming about possibly working abroad, and making new friends in new places. hopefully sooner than later... with that brief, albeit awkward, introduction complete; i thank you for having such a forum on the vastness of the interwebz, for me to unload all my inner-rantings onto an unsuspecting community. [this is where you guys come in]

and yes, i am too lazy to press shift + corresponding letter = capitalization

only when my sentence or its meaning will suffer too much in the translation, will i be arsed to comply with that whole two-handed typing thing. nothing personal... well anyway, nice to meet choo all.

I, for one, look forward to your postings. Welcome to ATS.

On the refusal for Capital Letters, my only request is that you the break your sentences up into small paragraphs because nothing is harder to read than a 400 word block of letters like something out of a code-breakers handbook.

See you on the boards, djalibee.

With an opening line like that, all I can say is welcome to the party.
I think you'll be glad you came.

quick question to anyone who wants it... how do i upload or change my avatar picture? im not seeing any link or option even remotely close to that description, anywhere. but then again, its probably cleverly disguised as an ordinary website button, or maybe even a clickable link, where noone would ever find it.

Welcome! I like the way you write, it put a smile on my face

Oh, if you're wanting to go to greener pastures, try Australia, although its quite dead in the outback, not much grass there

Thx

Any girl introduction's always followed up by ten guy's errr.... Welcome to ATS !

By the way I think you're a grey : look at this whitish helmet you suspiciously wears, and -cherry on the top - the timing of your post. Sure you were remotely involved in some big nasty conspiracy.
