My secret weapon...

One suggestion...get yourself a man friend who knows dating tricks.  Someone who can give you feedback on what men say and do. :)  This can be a good defense against PLAYERS, and other riff raff.

Texted high school teacher today...

I was bored, so I texted h.s. teacher while I had class.  I sent him a smiley face from my blackberry.  He told me exactly what he was doing at that moment, lol.  Teachers are so efficient.
