aloha everyone!!!! nice to finally have my computer up and running in my new apartment. i came to san francisco for many reasons, but once i got here my health-- which wasn't in great shape at the time-- got worst. so i wound up staying two+ years in hospital. my life has been a struggle. so now its good to find like minded people who i can relate to online. i'm hoping this openness i need to share with others will be reciprocated here. nice to finally arrive-- at least at the end of the text. so long for now, aloha stevie
