Hey. We've never talked before, I'm the original Drake (well, MK was here first, but he doesn't have Drake in his username). I just read a conversation between you and BH on his talk page regarding the "two girls in every game are alwaysbetter than the third one" thing, and I noticed that, though most of your list is right, you fail to realize that Selphie isn't your average annoying bubbly girl of the game. She actually has depth and character development (as far as character development goes in Final Fantasy VIII).

Really? Well, then congrats for lastin' in this world for almost twenty years. I'll drop a line on your talk page come the 17th.

Yes, I am indeed the VISITOR who popped up on the IRC a few moments ago, however my computer is extremley slow, and only about one in five messages were going through when I sent them, with another one of said five popping up at a random time minutes later. So I'm posting this here to clear everything up. All that old stuff that was on my talk page will be archived at a later date, as I can't get it to work right now.

Yeah, I like The Demonata, but I liked his other series (Cirque du Freak/The Saga of Darren Shan) more. I've read the first eight Demon books, and I can't wait until the ninth comes out here in the U.S. I'm usually able to get Shan's books a few weeks before they've been released elsewhere in the countries, because for the past few years his books have been put on sale early in New York. I have the first four books from that series (the first three are the American versions, the fourth is the British version) signed by Shan, as well as most of his Vampire books.

I've been fine, Mr. Clawfang. Been checking up on the Wiki from time to time but BH's blog post about the new Magicite Madness drew me back. So much has changed. How've you been?
