I find in hard to believe that I wasn't called a nerd. I kept to myself and didn't really bother anyone but I would even buy disc with fonts on it. I would sit at my computer for hours downloading. Fun it was. Memories. . I was the same way with fonts. I find in hard to believe that I wasn’t called a nerd.

Also as a note: put commas, periods, and other similar grammatical devices inside quotes. I can give "this," "this," and "this," as examples. It's awkward, but correct (at least it's how I was <em>taughted</em>.) I have a similar background, but switch Angelfire with Geocities.

Knowing me, I'd probably write something long and utterly boring. (Because I often had the preconception that job applications are supposed to be formal.)
