New quotes have been added to the random quotes box over on the right. I’ve included them here for those keeping score at home.
“Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.”
“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”
“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”

I have a 7 gmail accounts. A hotmail account. A Yahoo! mail account. A work email account. I’m nearly always signed on to MSN Messenger. I have an XBox live account. Google Chat, Google Voice, Skype. Facebook and Twitter. Two blogs and a mobile phone.
Why do I have no one to talk to?
