My nation is not very well seen world wide (mafia and things like that) so i wonder how you guys are depicting me inside your heads: you know: the italian stereotype: short, fat and black haired holding a guitar in my hand singing "sole mio" and stuff like that.

I think most of you all guys found my words misleading: i wasn't going to leave, i just wanted to express my feelings, kind of needed to get a feed-back about it. I did. So everything it's o.k.
I love being on this board; i enjoy your company here even if i can't see anybody of you. Thanks again for your support.
Roo: i'm glad i made you laugh!Anna Laura
