* update---CONGRATULATIONS CHITOWNFREAK ON 6 MONTHS SOBRIETY!!!!!!!!!!!*

Howdy, howdy all... What's the haps' people? I am pretty darn tired because school has started and I have a ton of reading on top of the recreational reading that I was already doing. Not to mention that I graduate May 7th and I have to start selecting pieces of my work for my writing portfolio that must be submitted and purused by the head of the English depatment before I am allowed to "chunk the duece" as the kids are saying these days. My advanced Mexican-American literature class is pretty happening because it calls for some of the old literature in translation and literary theory (my absolute favorite aspect of literature and criticism). Well this post won't take up a lot of your time, although I do have a question that I wanna put forth....

When dating and/or mating how much older or younger than you is acceptable for you and why? 

I have a bit of a situation. A fellow asked me out and I said yes because we have a lot in common (He took a Dramatic Lit. class with me last semester), and he is quite wasy on the eyes. The thing is that there is an age difference. I won't tell you which way until you answer my question, and I promise to be honest when I answer.  I mean he is nice and we can gab on a number of topics and it feels nice to be noticed so I figured okay. That doesn't mean that I aint still crushin' cuz sadly I am. But that is frivolous and fantastical; this is real and tangible which I have to say is a heck of a lot more fun for me (well both of us I hope). Anyway get back to me and how about another pic of my Arizona adventure....... And who would I be if I didn't leave you with a poem.....here goes.....

XXV WILD nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile the winds	5
To a heart in port,—
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.
Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!	10
Might I but moor
To-night in thee!--Emily Dickinson
