Just turned 18. Been here since July 26, 2008. I do what i can to help others, based on mostly my personal experience and just generally my feeling of what is right to do.

#1 chigirl fan

Big thanks to all the aunts and uncles here. you've helped me more than you know. =)

And as much as i appreciate those of you who like my answers enough to ask me questions personally, well, even i have my limits. If i dont feel like i can give you 100% confident advice, i wont answer it, in which case i'll feel bad. I would prefer you dont, and that you stick to asking questions using the Ask for help! button.
