LOL I used to be so happy just looking at my friend's list icreasing by the day till I read the following quote:

..> ..>

Jay Leno:		... you have like 2 million friends on MySpace ...
Dane Cook:		... that's true, some people out here, my friends ...
Jay Leno:		... how do you do that, I mean 2 million ...
Dane Cook:		... that's a lot of time spent sitting in your underwear eating Froot Loops, clicking accept over and over again ...
From The Tonight Show

LOL  I have clicked accept 931 times and hope to click on more.

Love this one.

I always get the chills while watching 'Ghost Whisperer', even though I don't believe in ghosts. I just loved 'Tru Calling' and 'X-files' and never got the irky feeling that 'Ghost Whisperer' leaves in me. Have you ever watched a movie or
a TV show where you felt that the temperature just droped a few degrees? and what about those that increase your temperature?

Just curious?
