Anyway, I just wanted to leave a comment. I might fill this out someday if you held me to it and forced me. Not that it's not brilliantly geeky, I'm just not OK enough mentally tonight. Which is vague, but whatever. I'll ttyl, you geeky Texan.

LoL, oh great, now look what you've done. :-P

You may be a Texan in their eyes...but you will always be a minnesotan at heart...Awwwwwwwwww =oP heehee

LoL @ Lou. Dork. :-P

you've always been a Texany-Minnesotan. We already figured that out. You just didn't know it before you moved to Texas. Besides, Texans get more respect. Of course, I'm totally laughing at you from my little hub in central USA, 'cause you're a Texan Minnesotan-style. ;)
