Love your work, by the by.

	A sad, lonely, and bitter 24 myself.  I'm been gaming since I
was 10
(my first RPG was Star Frontiers).

	I'm finishing up my Journalism degree myself.  I should be out
of that
perpetual hell hole called UWM by the end of December.	Then I'll be on
to more serious work... like finding a new home of the UFTWWWP.

	I'm going to drop a resume and some clippings to one of my local
cow-town newspapers that is looking for a reporter.  It would certainly
beat my current summer job:  Gas Station Attendant.

	COOLNESS!!!  I live out near Milwaukee!  Maybe we can make
arrangements
for me to come to the to meet and game sometime!

	Still working on my Gothic Thurst rules.  As for mecha, I'm got
a copy
of Mecha Carnage that I have been dying to try out for years.

	NAH!
