It's been how long now?

I did it. I'm back, and with a vengance. I am going to post on this blog at least once a week. And I give full permission for you (that is, Christian and Eryn [and Candace and Wendell, if they ever come here]) to send spam directly to both my email accounts if I don't - one being diana_kaatz@yahoo.com, the other being christine_jeannette@yahoo.com. I REEALY hope that no random spammer decides to take advantage of that. In case you were wondering what I've been up to, I have been preparing for college. And apparently I've developed something of a sailor's mouth - my mother and sister keep telling me to watch my language. I speak quite a bit of Spanish now (podría tranducir toda de esta página, pero creo que no sería una trandución buena). In fact, the other day I helped Caroline at the Latin foods store on the corner by asking for what we needed to make tamales.
Quite frankly, I hate it here in Savannah. There's a huge streak of racism in this town. It wants to believe that it can be a mecca of tourism, but the undercurrent of xenophobia really brings it down.
Please feel free to post comments on my blog - I will be back soon.

And, now, before I forget,

The Question of the Day
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
What is the symbol in parentheses (~) called?
A) That squiggly thing I use to decorate my text
B) That squiggly thing above the "n" in Spanish that makes a "ny" sound
C) A tilde
D) Why should I care?
