Sorry For Delay!

Hi guys! Sorry for the long no-posts wait. My little brother has been hogging the computer forever playing some Pokemon Crater game. Ick!
You may have noticed the new ebay stuff. Try out the picture Search! It's pretty darn cool. The "Hatter M" thing is a comic book (yeah, you heard me right, a comic book)that goes with a series called The Looking Glass Wars. Awesome series-a whole twist on the whole Alice in Wonderland thing. It (back to the comic book) has a pull-out map and a story and lots of cool stuff. It was only sold at one comic expo in Japan and now it's really rare.
Today I had to make a tough desision. I was sitting at my lunch table with my "friend" Jimmy (Herner) and, of all things, he pulls out of his pocket a magnetic chess set. "Wanna play?" he asks with a grin.
I didn't even know how to play chess. But I said yes. And, throughout the game, I felt pressure. Pressure because it felt like everyone's eyes were staring at me, and someone would say, "Greg's playing chess? How uncool." and laugh at me and my life as I knew it would be over. Yipes! But at the same time I was having fun, and I knew that it would be rude to just say, 'no more", so I played on. And although some kids looked at me a little weirdly, none of them were my friends. Because friends would never look at you at a level lower than they see themselves on.
