Hi! So I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing here at a forum because I swore I'd never be the kind of person who'd be into these kinds of virtual communities, but hey, people change, right? Eh, c'est la vie. So anyways I've seen a few others do one of these intro-thigs, so I figured I'd follow suit. My name is Laura, I'm 18, a graduating high school senior, and I've been an A's fan for as long as I can remember. Been going through a really rough patch of my life right now, but there's nothing like the promise of a new season with all it's expectations to keep me hopeful for the future. I hope to get to know and see you around the forums! GO A'S!
