If not, let me enlighten you.  My name's Mark E. Ratinauer; however kids know me as "Rat-Nose" (guess it's a play on my last name, but I'm not so sure).  I guess they think I look more like a rat?? LOL

I go to Grace Christian Fellowship church with my family every Sunday.  Am going to church today; don't miss church all that much.  Only time I do is if I am sick or stay up too late (like I did last week).  Didn't get up until two-thirty; my mom told me she was about ready to call the morgue on me; she thought I was dead! LOL

I have my rat "Mutt", and we have two cats.  I also have two sisters, ages six and ten; they're both brats (the littlest one isn't too bad, but oh, boy the other one--BRAT CITY!!).

As I said earlier, we live in McKinney, Texas.  Lived here all my life.

I have the Texas accent to prove it.

Whenever we visit our aunt and uncle in Colorado, they laugh at my Texas accent.  That's not very nice!

I am enjoying the weekend; had no homework, so it's my weekend to veg out. LOL  I love these non-homework weekends! :)

I may have a girl in my Social Studies class who may be interested in me.  Her name's Hillari Clinton (no joke! LOL). She's not bad looking: blonde, little, cute; however, I'm not ready for a serious relationship just yet.  I'm too young, for one thing; besides, my mom would skin me alive if she knew I was seeing a girl before the age of sixteen!

She says no dates, no girlfriends, until I'm at least eighteen, so I have a few years to go.

Well, mom is yelling at me to get dressed; we will have to be leaving within the next half hour if we are to make it to church on time. Darn, and I was just getting started on my writing!

I'll go for now; will write in here again soon. Take care and God bless!
