Like cantthinkofaname, I too am in middle school, but I don't graduate yet. School ends on June 9th for me too. I'm kinda like you, neotev. I live in Massachusetts. I joined TMK in August of 2005, after months of lurking the site and contemplating on becoming a member. When I joined, I honestly thought everyone was gonna be alot nicer, and I ended up getting brought down by how I was treated, and I kinda left the forums. I came back a few months later to see how the site was holding up, only to find out it was getting changed to this new design. Waiting, I came back along with the new design and decided to stop expressing my thoughts here so much so I would'nt get flamed. It worked, but even now I'm kinda afraid of making a topic, so I now stop by to make a couple of posts and check PMs.
Also, you probably don't care, but I am currently working on a fanfiction. If anyone wants me to ( In other words, give me a PM saying you want to read it ), I can post it here @ TMK. I don't want to say much about it yet, except that the Koopalings will play a big role. I've been on various forums such as NSider, GameSpot, MegaTokyo, NintendoFrienDS, and so on. ( If you want the screen names I have on those sites, just give me a PM. Oh yes, and I WON'T tell you my real name, I posted it once and I won't do it again.
