			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Ive been wanting to write a blg or a article about my H2O experience for awhile now, Im entering my 4th year with the clan with this june marking my official 4th anniversary of joining. Its been a achievement for me staying this long in a clan since my last clan I was involved with only lasted 2 years, since then Ive been on the MLG circuit looking to make a name for myself which led to H2O and my start in rainbow six.<br />
    <br />
 I joined the clan and started my recruitment for rainbow six vegas 2 when RB6v2 was in its prime when it came out and I was looking for a better community to play with and also looking for a team to start for rainbow. I met my first H2O friend and my H2O big bro H2O Saints Irish who turned out to be the recruitment manager, He taught me everything he knew about the clan and as a recruitment manager, I had so much fun playing with everyone in practices then my recruitment was up and I was accepted As H2O Maverick, I was so excited, my mom looked at my like I crazy haha, I finally had a place where I belonged and could have fun while doing it. Through my first 3 months as a member I had my ups and downs, I was a practice captain for awhile with H2O Fraghappy who I considered one of my close friends in the division, I was excited to be apart of the H2O gamebattles team for rainbow but that didin't last long since I bumped Heads with the New Division leader of rainbow Homefront H2O . Ive had my problems with the new leader for months, till I decided to transfer to Halo to pick up where I left off with MLG, since then im still friends with the old Leader, But I do consider some of my best times in the clan were in the rainbow division and i will return to that division someday :)<br />
<br />
    I Met H2O Talent while transferring into halo and he told me alot of new things that are happening with gamebattles and H2o halo, I knew I joined a heavy competitive division but something big was going to happen soon, through my first few months I met a fellow H2O named PK is 17, We grew on each other and become great friends in the division, it was coming up on my 4 month Feb 09 in halo and then all of sudden Blame!!!!!!!! half the division was gone :( I found out that Cross and twisted ( the current Leaders) left with a few others to form another clan. Equinox Jr took over as leader while I was promoted to Small teams and battle manager even tho I really wanted to become recruitment manager, and PK was the practice manager, we reformed the division with new recruits, new practice formate and a few small teams to go with it it was going great. Throughout my time so far in halo I've also had some altercations with members on wether my skill my terrible to there's or they were breaking rules or just being annoying in a sense, but that part was in the past. by june 09 I finally become recruitment manager just like Saint irish was in rainbow, and there on I was recruitment manager till july the following year. I was dueling a bit with COD4 division meeting a bunch of new friends and getting into Cod a bit more, I also dueled with Rhythm division since Beatles Rockband came out and I was addicted like crazy, I dueled with the COD division again this time in MW2 which was alot  more fun , i also applied for there Leader spot aswell but Division turmoil took over and nothing was settled till a month later but they promoted 2 great People. I met alot of new friends, Diablo, Sneaky,Jump Guy, Adrenaline, and many more ,I left halo because I didn't like the decision that people were making and I applied to become Equinox's Co leader but things didin't go as good as I thought so I left, ive received alot of msg from recruits on why I left and that they wanted me to come back soon, but I had to go and clear my head from all the stuff in halo and wait for the right time to come back.<br />
       <br />
I enjoyed my time as a casual for awhile,  I've manage to restart the Fighters division with a few former halo members and other recent fighters members, It was fun for awhile we had our ups and downs with the division but we made it work, it was awesome getting back into my fighting games again, getting my Tekken grove again and it felt great. Towards the end of the fighters I applied for Co leader for Halo again  and finally got the position. Leader has been a goal for me for awhile, i wanted to be known for something thats all ive wanted, wether its a start of a major company, Sports announcer or radio, PRo video gamer, just my name on a website for something awesome is a major goal for me and my start was Leader. During the time in between my waiting on the promotion I was also participated as a H2O Halo coach in the WCG Holiday heros and my team won the entire event, it was my first big win as a coach in Halo and i was excited, also I was surprised that I have a article about my win in the PMS|H2O News thread. I also participated in the first MLG stop of the 2011 season, Dallas TX placing 5th out of am with team SOUL (Brake, Blaze, Formal, Ryanoob) <br />
<br />
   I joined Halo again but this time it has changed, New staff members, new people it felt like a fresh start. Myself and Equinox had a lot of good ideas floating around and we  went with them. We had a flux of recruitment managers in and out and we had Retro as our practice manager, for months it was going good, then unfortunate circumstances caused my partner in crime Aka Superman Equinox to step down :( and I was the Lone leader, through the first month after I I pieced out what my staff looked like and it was good, coming into the summer of 11 I had a good group of guys as my staff, my practice managers were awesome my recruitment managers were great, We all had alot of fun in practices playing new games like inverted version of demo derby, battle ship and nascar. During the Summer I finally picked a my Co Leader and he was H2O retro, also I  attend MLG Anaheim With the team Believe the Hype as there coach, we managed reach 5th place from starting at 13th which is not bad but it was frustrating, I wanted to win, Since i picked retro  I knew that me and him wold work really great together and also bringing halo to higher standards, through the summer we had a lot of stuff going on, mixers were going great, we had alot of community playdates with other Clans, by OCt came around we lost Palpatine from practice manager, we also added H2O fantomexx as a new co recruitment manager for Dink, we had members not liking MLG alot more and it was hard to keep alot of members in practice, we all worked hard to keep everyone happy but it was just too frustrating for me to constantly fix things that shouldn't be fixed,one thing that I was excited about was that I received my elite member status which was awesome and great millstone for me, i started contemplating leaving halo for awhile since then, i work was crazy since the holidays and it was hard running practices, getting issues everyday was just too frustrating but I think it mostly the fact that I wasn't feeling halo anymore, i wasn't having fun with it and that had a big part of it. It was a hard decision to make since halo was a big part of H2O timeline and my gaming life in h2o so...I made the decision to leave, but I will be back again <br />
<br />
     I transfered to the Gears the division and finally became a member so now Im looking to help the gears division in anyways I can with the knowledge I have and my experience throughout staff, and I excited to meet nw members and friends, so Im going to start my next chapter in my H2O life :). Im also comtemplating going back t coaching Halo for MLG or maybe participating in MLG as a gears player. who knows. I know that my 21st birthday is coming up n may and now I start partying with everyone at event Oooohhh boyyyy :)  so its going to be a interesting year I say. <br />
<br />

p.s. sorry for the giant paragraph blog this is my first blog ever haha</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I have never contributed anything to this clan. That I never helped the girls that I lead. Heck just about all of them are casual now. I did leave the clan for 2 years and I have my excuses on why it was so long, but it really wouldn't matter. (I had surgery for fibroadenomas that were growing and were in both of my breasts a month after I left at which I was dealing with numerous of doctor appointments and I was depressed about the scarring for months. After that I couldn't even pick up a controller and play for 2 years.) I had it all...sisters, friends, leadership/elite status, and now I'm just a face in the crowd. I have the halo girls here in PMS, but they don't even know me. Not saying they don't try, but I'm only online at least once a week. I just want to have something to show for how hard I did work for this clan all those years ago. I just want to play using my Agent  PMS tag again with out getting into trouble with using MY tag that I own.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the sob story. I just needed to get it all off my chest.</div>

I call it &quot;(She Calls Me) The Criminal&quot;.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Life is a beautiful phenomenon.<br />
<br />
Right now it's time for me to have some talk time. Unfiltered, pure thoughts.<br />
<br />
The fall of 2010 is a portion of my life that I remember everyday. Every morning I seem to recall the events that led me to where I am now. Those who I hurt would call it obsession. I call it guilt, myself. But I have a feeling that those I've hurt would only be pleased by that fact. Pleased that I am feeling guilt. I don't really know how to approach that thought. I grew up on the idea that we all make mistakes, and that we are capable of changing ourselves to become better people. <br />
<br />
However, I seem to get this vibe that some people are unwilling to repair whats broken in their life. Instead, they witness the destruction and move on. It seems to be called a strength, stating that you're avoiding what cannot be reversed. But I think it's a cop out.<br />
<br />
I'm gonna use an example: I lost a really good friend in May, on my birthday actually. He was a major influence to me. I may have come off as annoying to him quite a bit, but he introduced me to a lot of things. Shows/stories/thoughts and ideas. I tend to kind of talk peoples heads off if I really respect them. It's just me wanting to be around them, show them that I care. I guess I come off as obsessive, but I really don't mean to. I've learned how to work on that though. I haven't heard from him since then, and now and then I let the anger get to me that I messed up that friendship. I thought I had a chance to fix it, but when I contacted him again he just closed me out and didn't even tell me why, which later led to me blowing up on him, which then gave him a legitimate reason to close me out. :(<br />
<br />
I will openly admit I cried that night. I had waited three months to talk to him again and he just blocked me again after leading on that we'd talk again. It's okay though, I've learned that I cannot expect others to understand the complex emotions that I feel. Ultimately, you reap what you sew, even if you feel like it was out of your control.<br />
<br />
But that gets me thinking from time to time if someone like that is really a good friend. I waited three months, respected his wishes, and just got left out in the cold, in the end. I think my aggressive response was basically warranted at that point. I almost feel like I was set up to fail by him, but... my actions are my own, he didn't make me do the things I did to him.<br />
<br />
The fucked up thing is if he decided to be friends with me again, I would say yes. I almost think sometimes that's an indication of my lack of self-respect, low self-esteem. That I would accept that treatment, that he would probably even deny. It's a double edged sword. I want to not care, but my personality is to. I wish people who hated me would see that.<br />
<br />
It just scares me to know that there are people who are okay with burning bridges. Who can't understand complex psychological issues. Who will just abandon you and not even tell you why. I am called a criminal sometimes, but really I feel like the victim.<br />
<br />
My ex-girlfriend also abandoned me, but... that stories a bit different and really kind of annoying to me now. It's another case of someone choosing to believe that others are incapable of change.<br />
<br />
I'm learning I cannot let those people effect me. They do not care if I am alive and well. That pains me, because I care about them even while they hate me. But that makes me proud of myself. That I am able to see the beauty in those who choose to block out my beauty. I love them, and I would let them know that. I see no point in hating others, and just wish I could fix bridges, not necessarily for friendship, but just because bridges don't need to be on fire all the time.<br />
<br />
I am feeling really odd tonight though, I think I am gonna try and write music and maybe watch Dexter. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I'm trying my best not to complain about things anymore. So really I guess what I want to view this as is talking about some things that happened this week.<br />
<br />
School started again this week and I am happy. I love math, and I am doubling up on it this quarter by taking College Algebra and Trigonometry both. So far it's not bad, they're covering functions in algebra, and radians in trig.<br />
<br />
<br />
I mentioned a date before.... eh, went on it last week.... it didn't go well. She forgot to mention that she ALREADY had a boyfriend. That triggered many uncomfortable emotions within me.... haven't spoken to her since I found out, I don't really feel like I want to either. I know that sounds rude but, I think people who know me personally can understand why.<br />
<br />
The first day of school then proceeded to suck. I was late to my first class (which meant I was almost dropped from it, since it was the first week), I locked my keys in my car and had to miss another class to go get them out. I then got pulled over by a policeman for being a moron with a cellphone out. *sigh*, lol, at least I know it was **** I could have prevented. Just got to be less lazy I suppose. XDD<br />
<br />
<br />
EDIT: Lately I have been trying to practice something I learned from this clan, &quot;Kill them with kindness.&quot; I am doing my best to be extremely kind to everyone, even those who are directly aggressive or displeased with me. It makes life so much more enjoyable to just share the love. After all, the rastafarians all say &quot;One Love.&quot; hehehehe XD<br />
<br />
Now is time for write some music and trig homework. :)<br />
<br />
Goodnight, everyone!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hey everybody. Since rhythm gaming has kind of calmed down a bit, I don't play as much. <br />
<br />
But I got Rocksmith, and damn do I love it. It really is the best UI I've seen for a guitar rhythm game. It makes it so easy to learn how to play, it's nuts.<br />
<br />
Here is me playing Muse. :)<br />

What I like is that you can tell when someone makes a mistake in the game. XD</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font color="Purple"><font size="3"><font face="Arial Narrow">I'm not usually one who lets my emotions control me.  I have perfected the defense mechanism of ice queen, sarcasm, and humor and therefore have become very good at keeping my true feelings inside.  The Christmas holidays are difficult for me especially the month of January, but this year has been particularly trying because with each passing year I miss my mom more and more.  I'm a grown woman yet without her I feel like I will forever remain a child because I had a lot of growing up to still do when she passed as I was only 19.</font></font></font><font size="3"><font face="Arial Narrow"><br />
<br />
Not many people read my blog because well, its boring, but those who do probably already know that I was previously in the PMS Clan during my Halo 2 days.  I was an active member who was interested in competing on the MLG circuit so needless to say I was pretty serious about the whole thing.  So serious in fact that I ate, breathed, slept, and dreamed about Halo.  When I was practicing I didn't want to be bothered and tuned the entire world out.  It was just me and my battle rifle.  I heard the phone ringing when I was in the middle of a clan match but I purposely ignored it because it was a clan match --  super serious, right?!?  My cell phone rang again.  And again.  But no voicemails.  So I figured if it was important they would at least leave me a voice mail and I could check it later after I pwned some n00bs.  :: an hour or so passes ::<br />
<br />
My begins to ring again.  Again, and again, and again so I pry myself off my gaming chair to grab the phone and my caller ID showed me it was my sister.  &quot;Yeah, what do you want?&quot; I answered in a bratty obnoxious way.<br />
<br />
&quot;You need to get down to the hospital immediately.&quot;<br />
&quot;Uh, why cause I'm kinda in the middle of something?&quot;<br />
&quot;Its mom and you need to get here as soon as possible.  We've been trying to call you for an hour.&quot;<br />
<br />
Just from the tone of her voice I knew something very serious was happening so I got in my car and drove straight to the hospital.  The whole family was already there and when I walked into the ER the nurses immediately escorted me to the door of her room.  The looks on their faces made me feel like I was dreaming.  Through tears my brother stepped out of the crowd and told me my mom had passed away from a series of heart attacks shortly before I arrived.<br />
<br />
I was stunned.  I didn't believe them and barged into the room to prove them wrong.  My mom couldn't be dead.  I had just seen her the day before.  I wanted this to all be some kind of nightmare or sick prank, but one look at her lifeless body covered up on the table told me what I didn't want to admit.  I stood next to her and held her hand which was already cold to the touch.  I cried at her side hoping by some miracle she would wake up.  I told her I loved her and promised her I would become someone she could have been really proud of.  Then I removed her favorite ring from her finger and slipped her earrings in my pocket.  I put her ring on my finger and it has remained there for the past 8 years.<br />
<br />
8 years!  8 years have passed and time has eased the pain a little but its always in the back of my mind.  Why didn't I just answer the phone on the first ring?  She still would have died but I would have made it to the hospital to tell her how much I loved her and I would have had a chance to say goodbye.  Would that have given me closure?  I don't know but I would do anything to have those last few minutes with her to tell her goodbye.<br />
<br />
And it seems lately I am reminded of her more and more.  The Holidays of course reminds me of her because she would always take 2 weeks off of work to do Christmas shopping, decorating the house, and putting up the Christmas tree.  It was her favorite holiday and we would make Christmas crafts together.  I can be at work and be reminded of her because she loved to take me shopping but always stressed the importance of paying off your credit cards each month.  So now, with every credit card I sell at work (approx 10+ per day) she is in the back of my mind.  It's such a strange thing to remember along with so many others.  <br />
<br />
I just wish I had her back.  I want her to know I am so sorry for everything and how much I really did appreciate her.  I want her to know I love her.  I want to hug her.  I want to spend the day with her.  I want her advice and I want her to be proud of me.  Unfortunately for me I didn't realize this until I lost her.</font></font><font face="Arial Narrow"><br />
<font size="6"><br />
<b>I LOVE YOU MOM <font color="Red">&lt;3</font></b></font></font><br />
<br />
<font color="Purple">I quit the clan that day.  Well, technically just never returned.  Actually, I guess you could even say I quit life for a while.  I was bombarded with so many feelings of guilt and sorrow that I just went completely numb.  I think part of me rejoined PMS because it reminds me of the carefree days when I knew everything because my mom was always there to have my back through thick and thin.  But now I have returned to the clan unsure exactly what it is I am searching for ......</font></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Well it's about time for my winter break to end and school to begin again. It was a nice break, I was able to write a few songs and a bunch of poetry material that I can hopefully add to my music at some point. :)<br />
<br />
I'm becoming well known in the area for my passion of music. I'm finding that people are inviting me to house parties and to chill so that they can hear my beats. That's awesome to me, that I can provide entertainment like that. This community definitely needs something like that to brighten up the times.<br />
<br />
I live in a pretty interesting community, culturally that is. About fifteen miles out of town is a Native American reservation. It is a beautiful place with a lot of history. Unfortunately with that history comes the racist foundation that occurred to their people and land over a hundred years ago. I have found recently that I have Native blood in me. My mothers side of the family has native roots, and although that portion of me doesn't account for my physical appearance, I still appreciate it. I want to learn about the culture of the Warm Spring tribe and promote fairness, education, and progression within that community and my own town. There are many racist people here, and for the lack of a better word, rednecks. <br />
<br />
Mostly, my town is a farm community, where carrots and peppermint are grown to supply a large portion of the United States with such food products. It is interesting because this community is poor for the most part. Occupied by low-income workers, and leap frog commuters who travel to the nearby city of Bend, about 50mi away.  There are no opportunities for careers here, only low-income work. I'm not complaining because after all, money is money and at least big apartments here are cheap as a result. You can live in a decent apartment for $450 a month. <br />
<br />
However, just last night, literally just last night (on 1-4-2012), I heard something that sounded like a gunshot. At first I thought it was a firework because I heard a bunch go off on New Years. I mean, this is a redneck town, they love to either light fireworks or shoot guns into the air. Unfortunately, immediately after that, a lot more fire broke out. It was definitely a pistol as the rate was too fast to be semi-automatic, but too slow to be fully automatic. There was bout 8-10 shots.... didn't take long for it to be called in either. I heard on the police scanner that there were &quot;Shots fired and the report of a man lying on the ground who isn't moving.&quot; It happened just a few blocks away... I'm sure it'll be on the news tonight.<br />
<br />
But, that is the cost of the low-income living here. Drugs, corruption, poverty, and mental disease rule my community. But I cherish this land none the less. It is beautiful scenery and every night I get to watch deer frolic in the field next door to my house. I didn't have that in a city. I had the sounds of a highway, sirens, cars, and light pollution. Here at night, the sky is not covered with smog and you can see the stars with such clarity. Sirens barely go off, and you can hear the crickets. I believe that as long as I promote education, fairness, and non-violence within my community, and follow my own hobbies and dreams, that I can provide a good influence at least for those close to me. I have convinced many friends who dropped out to now seek getting a GED, and I have promised to help them. Some even want to go to college now.<br />
<br />
I am proud of this. That is the kind of stuff that matters. Doing what you can to make long-term improvements for everyone in your life. It doesn't matter what we've done, only what we want to do and how hard we are willing to work for it. Good intentions go a long ways, I think. :)<br />
<br />
Anyways, back to making some music on my last days off from school. I might post a song soon, maybe though, no rushing it. XD<br />

<br />
Happy New Year everyone. Lets make this year amazing. Lets make new friends, set new goals, and challenge ourselves. There are unlimited possibilities. :)<br />
<br />
I'm gonna rock it this year. Nothing in my path, and if the world ends (lol), well then I'll know I'll have made 2012 the best year of my life.  :D<br />
<br />
I'm hoping PMS/H2O Starts a Tribes: Ascend division. That game is so sick. I love it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyways, enjoy your New Years Eve parties, people and be safe. I am 21 now but not drinking! Sobriety feels much better. :)<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I am going on my first date ever! I met her in school last quarter and I'm moving pretty slowly with it. She is nice... and cute, hehehe. x3 (plus she thinks I'm cute too!) I am not rushing anything. School comes first and I will have my associates degree by next spring and will have to move from central oregon to probably Portland... so yeah.... not a good time to start a relationship. S'okay though. I can always have fun. :)<br />

Mr. Wendal is a song about the homeless, and very soulful at that. Here is the music video.<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyDjRd0Tjss&amp;t=0m48s" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyDjRd0Tjss&amp;t=0m48s</a><br />
They promoted education and awareness, not to mention equality and fairness. Good stuff, check out that track.<br />
<br />
Another one in the same genre is <b>The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy</b>. Also an alternative to gangsta rap, but about as gritty as artists like 2pac and Dre. However, their grit is aimed at civil rights conflicts, corporations, and a failing public education system. The singer, Michael Franti, shares some of the same influences as me. In particular, an interest in beatnik culture and the author William S. Burroughs. They actually produced an album where Burroughs came in to provide soliloquy with his life works, a few years before his death. It was epic.<br />

<br />
Here is my favorite song by them, titled &quot;Language of Violence&quot;, that outlines the horror that comes from violence, our justice system, and prisons for some.<br />

More to come! I like to share music I find influential and deep. :)</div>

			<title>A Word on the Solar Maximum of 2012</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Last night I received a message from someone I had not spoken with for over several years. I remember I had met him at PAX 2005 and he was pretty chill.<br />
<br />
Anyways, he messages me and starts telling me to 'look out' for the Solar Maximum coming this next year.... warning me that it could be so intense that satellites begin to fail and technology begins to crumble.<br />
<br />
First off, for anyone who doesn't know what this fancy term 'Solar Maximum' means. Simply put, it is when the activity of our sun is at it's greatest. However, this isn't new. In fact, NASA refers to this cycle as &quot;Cycle 24&quot; <a href="http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2009/29may_noaaprediction/" target="_blank">[LINK]</a>. These cycles occur over a period of about 22 years, going through a minimum and a maximum. I thought my friend was making some sense here. He is theoretically correct, if a Solar Maximum was so intense, and pointed directly towards Earth, it could cause mass extinction. Furthermore, the satellites in orbit could be affected by the gamma radiation and essentially fry their hardware. I could see that being bad, but I don't see it being catastrophic. It is a sign of our dependence on technology. But in order to equip our satellites with protection would require their weight be increased at least 100 times. You would need lead or uranium, something that could block the gamma rays. That's just not practical. Additionally, we do not feel the force of coronal mass ejections (solar winds) as the Earth is protected by an Electromagnetic field. (Mars, for instance, does not have one of these) So on the ground, we feel nothing, but in space, it's a storm and you would definitely not want to be an astronaut chilling up there unprotected.<br />
<br />
<br />
But to the point, based on the predictions by NASA in 2006, it looked like we were in for a doozy and that some satellites might be affected by the next solar maximum. But now, it looks like it won't even as intense as the solar maximum around 2000.<br />
Edit: I suppose it is realistic to say we don't know this for sure. It's just like predicting weather, sometimes we're right and sometimes we're not.  There could be factors not taken into consideration, or not even known. But ultimately, we will see how the solar maximum ends up next year, I just don't think it'll be anything fancy...<br />
<br />
It's really frustrating that these doomsday sayers try to use science to prove their 2012 theories. &gt;_________________________________________________  ____&gt;</div>

In the month I have been here I've already met many great girls and formed friendships that I'm sure will last.  It's wonderful being able to wind down from a tough day with fellow gamers who share the same passion as I do. I'm looking forward to getting to know more the H20 guys and other super fly PMS grrls.</font></font></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I just had to edit my resume on jobing.com once again since I recently got hired at Wendy's (Oh, joy, but it's a job that's going to make me some money!).<br />
<br />
Anyways, here it is. <a href="http://jresume.com/mercedesimai" target="_blank">http://jresume.com/mercedesimai</a><br />
<br />
Any feedback is welcome!<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, I will hopefully find out if I have another job with Go AZ Motorcycles (It would be one heck of a dream. I &lt;3 motorcycles!  Plus the $10-$15 per hour will help). So pray or hope or whatever you all do that I get this job. &lt;3</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color="Black"><b>You know I can honestly remember when I first signed up for PMS I was so hyped!  I was enjoying everything about this clan until I got into it with a few girls on here.  I was getting tired of the drama &amp; was thinking about leaving but I was like, &quot;What am I doing I'm not going to let some randy's keep me from joining a clan I want to be in?!&quot;  Also, a few members I talked to had the same problem as I when they first attempted to join. So I say to all my haterz, &quot;Hi &amp; Tisa loves you all!&quot; <br />
Oh, &amp; can someone please give me a vivid example of a person being conceited?  Because if people think I'm conceited then that's just something they're going to have to deal with.  I'm not about to walk around thinking negative of myself.  I'm just beautiful me; a King, nothing less, nothing more.</b></font></font></div>
