You've got a nice picture there! As for CT, I suffer with Dannell Malloy's B.S., too! (I'm close to Hartford.)
I just checked out this pic after reading your post here http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=268569&page=8. And, I believe in what the girl said about you .. that you were so pretty because that's true. My advice for you is just relaxing yourself a little bit more, and express your emotion a little bit, and then more and more day by day. Best luck to you .
