Subj: Re: [kl] Time for a moderated list?
Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2002 02:00:11 -0400

I am not really stuck in my ways. I know emotions don't come through in
these posts unless you read between the lines, but my being an avid
reader/writer has enabled me to write as I would speak. Thus, I was being
fecitious, or sarcastic if you don't know the word... (no offense meant) I
know I have a 90% chance of growing out of my obstinance, and, as you
evidently don't believe, I am quite mature for my age. If you don't believe
me, I could get my science teacher to e-mail you, whom I have only met at
the beginning of the school year, yet she thought me mature enough to
babysit her 2 year old for approximately 6 hours, when I have had absolutely
no experience whatsoever before that. And, everything went better than it
usually does for her. I could get my parents to e-mail you as well, if you
need further proof. Or even my wrestling coach, who laughed at me outright
in my face when I wanted to sign up, because he thought that I wanted to
join for the guys, but quickly found out that I was the most into of all of
them, and that's actually saying something. Don't be so steriotypical of me.
I may be 13, but I am not average, especially since there is no such
thing as average in the first place. And I may not have had much of a life
yet, but what I have had was incredibly enlightening. I learn from others
mistakes as well as my own, and I know that I cannot express my opinion on
this list very often with the enthusiasm I have and my normal way of
speaking without offending anyone. But, since this is a publis list, I am
going to continue to be me, just be more careful to enlighten people of when
and when not to get offended, or rather, when I am being sarcastic and when
I am not.
