yeah, so far its helped me meet a local band up here in portland, what with the pictures and all, and I like to keep the friends online strictly to people I've met or am bound to meet in a short future, come to think of it, I think there's only one person on my myspace that I havn't met, but I think I'll be meeting her at the end of january.

Here's wishing you a Happy New Year
and nice hearing from you again old friend.
