$100 just to photgraph someone? that sounds harsh :( I just ordered
a used Canon camera online (A80). should be in by the end of the
week. : )

i haven't been doing to good lately. I have done more critical
thinking about myself and came to the conclusion that, I am not that
shy. I am reserved with reason, i dont fear being social at all. I
just refain from being social because i have no idea how to make a
conversation. For example, at work, i had to run a test for a half
hourr with another engineer.. i probably spoke for a total of 3
seconds during that..

another example... I went to visit friends for the weekend. I spoke
a total of 2 minutes duing that whole 24 hour perriod.

Someone mentioned a good book? I hear many good things about the dale
carnige book, how to win friends and influence people.
