SAINT AUGUSTINE, FL
I have a lot of names. 6, in fact. I have always thought that 2 were for use and the other 4 were a "spare tire" sort of arrangement. I attend St. Augustine High School in, of all places, St. Augustine, Fl. I live a thousand miles from free time while busy with theatre, choir, and AICE; a program that, much to my disappointment, has less to do with cards and more to do with Cambridge's standards of education. I play some piano. I believe in people. I've been described as a "conservative mega-liberal". So that's me in a nutshell. Not a peanut, incase you're allergic.
