Mmm... sounds okay.

Damn straight. My approval is mandatory!

Mmm... that would be interesting.

Woooooooot!

Fun times!

Proposal? What are the assigned questions?

LOL Well, have fun!

If you decide to write it, I'd like to see it. Not that you have to, but it sounds interesting! Or, maybe I'm just kinda weird.

How many pages?

Good luck with the research and your topic...?

Weren't you supposed to decide yesterday? LOL

17 pages it isn't too bad; I had to write a psych analysis on van Gough for one of my art classes at Michigan and it was 250 pages. I have never had to bullshit like I did in that paper... my God. I didn't think I could come close to 250, but I ended up with 255 and I was so damn proud! LOL

Ah, yeah. Research sucks.
