As you may well be aware, I'm new to the system here. I've got stuff to
learn, and I want to learn it as quickly as I can. That being said, if
you have any wisdom that you would be willing to impart to me, I would
take it with absolute graciousness. Someday I want to be able to look
down upon my two adopted children and say, "yes, I was a member in good
standing at E2 before it took over the world." I would turn my head and
face the camera on the wall and crack my neck with a pained look on my
face. The children would look at me with admiration in their eyes. Then
they would send for the papers to commit me to a mental institution. It
is all planned, you see. They are already out to get me, those kids of
mine.
I once had a nightmare that the English-speaking world decided
unanimously to change the phrase, "a lot" into a single word: alot. As
you can imagine, I was scarred for life because of this nightmare. Now
I drink more orange juice from a sippy-cup and drool a little too
often. Well, that's what the system does to you these days. They also
made me learn to type in 70-character columns like this. It makes me
very, very sad.
