Dude. Don't even try to claim 'the simple life is for me' thing. I mean check it out. They ask for ONE thing and you give them THREE...
Okay dude. I've got a resolution for you in 2005. You will not get overly addicted to orchard hermitude. This is an intervention dude. Don't get too comfortable with the hermit lifestyle. It is easy to do and you are way too young for that. Yes, 31 is still young dammit. You're just a kid...
:D

Date: 2004-12-08 07:42 pm (UTC)And I talk to people aaaallll day long. So no chance of true "hermitude" (darn)
31 is young to you??? Poor, venerable Aaron! Our collective big brother. I pity your ag-ed state. Though, perhaps this accounts for such impressive political restraint? You know you want to comment...you KNOW you do... :P
