Metal Meredith

I am cleaning out old emails and just came across one from October 2004. A guy had purchased a book from me off Amazon. He was intrigued by the screen name and was just being friendly, asking what other books I would recommend. The book he purchased was “How to Make Love Like a Porn Star” by Jenna Jameson, which is why this is all so funny. Anyway, this is more for me to remember the things that I liked to read and less for you to actually learn something from.

I will confess, I have an addiction to some online games. I can be found wasting my time farming, running a restaurant or keeping up my aquariums. Its sad really, how much time I waste taking care of these things. But it is fun none the less!
