were you a little disappointed?

monie2boys @monie2boys (176) • United States 1 Feb 07

After waiting all this time, I was hoping for more. The part with Forest Whitaker and Luca was good. But the rest....well...stunk. The fire should have been a mystery for a while. Maybe the kid could have lied about starting it....

do I need to do something special to get more responses?

monie2boys @monie2boys (176) • United States 26 Jan 07

I don't have that many responses. I hope I don't sound like a whiney baby. I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I wonder if I should be starting the posts in larger interest groups. I hope my topics are just boring....
