ARE THEY HAPPY?WHAT DOES THE SOCIETY EXPECT FROM 23 YEAR OLDS?WELL I HOPE I CAN CONNECT TO A 23 YEAR OLD AND FIND OUT.THE DAY ITSELF WAS JUST ORDINARY,THANKS TO TIG FOR THE CARD!AND TO ALL THOSE WHO CARE ENOUGH TO HAVE REMEMBERED AND WISHED ME MANY MORE.I FEEL IM GROWN UP!AM NOW A MAN-BY ANY STANDARDS!!!!
