Background

I am a happy young whimsical man living in England and I have known Antonio since we met in secondary school when we were about eleven. We pretty much kept the same circle of friends through the wonder years into university but then Antonio flew to the Far East in late summer 2004. Left with emails as the most covienient form of communication I will give you an (edited) account of what we say about ourselves, our friends, the ones we love and anything else on our minds as we type.
