I'll surely do it dan. Thanks for sum pretty stuff. And.. about my smartness.. I can make a website up with some templates and workout.. But I really don't know about those copyright stuff. As I said I am a student of age 16, I just wanted to share some info with friends and also make some money to run it on my own not depending on my parents. I just wanted to tell you Dan though its personal. If you dont mind, can you talk to me on IM? I would be happy to learn some startups from you well. I'll surely do it dan.

I'm now used to the Germans capitalizing all their nouns, and sometimes end up doing the same thing when I write English, but "Deviant" seems to have chosen words completely at random. Huh?
