Date:9/23/2004 2:12:01 PM Author:dev Animal Abuse! Good I hate dogs Cats rule! And why no sunglasses? that makes me more of a superstar than you quote> Well...pffttt to that.

Yeah, I was in DC on vacation. Nice town, hope to go back soon because I didn't get to see nearly enough...I only had 1 day (1 afternoon really) and saw it all at a near-sprint. What I did see was really cool, though. Heh, I'm a senior now? The fine folks down in the Simtropolis Torture Chambers finally dragged a pic out of me...

Ok, I will break down and post my picture. This is me in front of a carved bear at the Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. I don't know why there was a bear there, but there was, and my mom liked it, so she took a picture of my sister and me with the bear. I edited the picture so my sister wasn't in it...that's why the image is kind of smallish. http://3.forumer.com/uploads/simtropolis/post-3-1095733660.jpg width=448 align=absMiddle border=0> I am squinting because it was quite sunny out and I didn't have sunglasses. I also need to get more sleep, it would appear.
