I wish some of the creative, debative types would come back....This board has gotten so boring!!!!I was slightly addicted at one point because debates are cool, even with some of the debaters being morans. But I loved to hear the difference in opinions. I clearly have one that strays from the norm, and I would never ask anyone to feel like I do, nor do I feel defensive or even offended when they dont. See, my time in Elan was just that. MY TIME!!! I worked through a lot of shit while I was there with the guidance and push of a lot of strong people. When I was there, I saw 1 definate ring, maybe 2. The house wasnt loaded with guilt and corruption. And there were actually mentors that helped you through the place....Janine Losey and Shalonda Rhea...really gave me a kick in the ass when I needed it. Maybe I was lucky. I thank God everyday for my experience. It was hell, hard work, mortifying, and downright depressing all at one time or another. But, because of Elan 8 and its wonderful staff and students, I learned so much about myself, the world, and what it means to be a woman. Thank you to CLare Woodman, Marc Rosenberg, Marian Carney, Drew Hibbard, Jennifer Husman, Janine, Shalonda, Lindsey, Emily, Jeff, Angie Cantarutti, Bill M, Mandy Remer, Kate Hawkins, Mr. Bergeron, Mr. Lee. Those are a few of the people that have forever left an impact on my life, and for some, an imprint on my heart. There are many more people that I remember, I may even have forgotten to thank a few, but most of you know what you meant to me. Peace to all of you...And good riddens to a drunken nite!!!
