"I like dicks. wait what?..." Shrugs and dodges a boot.
"Anyway, I don't see myself spending money on this anytime in the future. Why? I think it is a waist of money. If you really love to meet someone or really have the drive to meet one of your idles, you will do anything it takes to achieve said dream and it is a very achievable one at that. It's realistic. If you want to go to a magic convention, either save your money and trim away the excess spending that you might do and then spend it on a hotel a magic convention and round trip plane tickets. If you are still with your parents, show that you have a love of your "art" and that you are a responsible enough kid to get chores done on time, do exceedingly well in school, etc. basically suck up to them while still practicing your magic! They'll most likely be more then happy to spend or help you along to go to a magic convention. But I've gone a lil off course of what I wanted to talk about."
Takes a deep breath and hacks up a rat, "I should really chew my food."
"The video cam jam session will not help me because I am a hands on kind of guy. I need to have an instructor in the same room as myself. What is worse is that I've tried to stay in rooms like tinychat.com/Cards Exomagic even the magic session but I get tired of seeing the, for lack of better words, magician circle jerk of magic. The bottom line is, yes that is Michael Ammar on my screen talking to me. But it isn't going to be the same to me or worth my money spent on if I just spend 20 bucks at a lecture. Computers are great and it is wonderful that the magical community is embracing it somewhat, but for me it will never replace face to face live instruction."
Grabs the boot and drags it by its laces somewhere else. "Now if you'll excuse me, I just a brand new chew toy!" Om nom nom
