This is good to know for my self-esteem, which… generally speaking… isn’t all that lacking to begin with. But. According to Google we're the Number One Authority on “How to say stuff in Portales.” Of course we don’t make claims we cannot substantiate. So, proof:

Heehee... Think the Jr. High level plays into that somehow? Course my blog is the same, so I should be popular for something. Just haven't figured out what yet.

Of course, it was an academic letter which was in script (like the band guys get), as opposed to the Big Block Letters the jocks got. I was a nerd before nerds were cool. Well, strike that last. Nerds have never been cool. ;-)
Wow you are one of the popular kids..
