I've been reading this list and the messages for a couple weeks now and I've finally had the motivation to write about my existence on this list. Jocelyn probably inspired me to write because I too am a teenager, but listening to 30-year-olds blabber on about Star Wars and thinking on how I could enter the conversations they all were having gave me a feeling of "why bother?" I'm a 16 year-old. I like Reading, writing, the band R.E.M., and useless conversations with people I don't know. Ok, I lied on the last part. I've read all of Salinger's major published works but I find, at times, I need to re-read them. Franny and Zooey changed my life. I can hold an intelligent conversation, or so I beLIEve. I won't join in any of the current topics going on right now in this list but I'll maybe join in later on any new topics I feel I can hold my ground on. -Carl _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
