Hello
I saw a comment you put on Jfargo's diary...I thought I'd say hi.
I recognized your avatar...Civilization Rocks.

I agree, Civilization is a GREAT game.

I LOVE your icon. If that's you, you're beautiful!

And yes, it's me. All Canadian girls are pretty.

Canadian Girls of_little_note October 9 2003, 12:56:08 UTC

I'm from Minnesota and travel to Canada to fish a couple of times every year. I hate to disagree, but the girls in Canada are like everywhere else: Some pretty, some not.
