Default A wild new member appeared!

I'm Joe

I'm 14 and gay (first date is Monday asdfghjkluygbndkuhgrsbgnsejrhgnr awgr). I'm pretty sarcastic and dry, so sorry if you get offended? I live in the great state of MA. It's actually kind of funny, the people in the towns on either side of me are really open, and don't care about people's sexuality. Now in my town things are different. So it's been kind of hard being semi out, but I've survived .

So yeah, me in a nutshell. Sorry for the terrible introduction?

My best guess is that the file is too big, though it's only a guess. Maybe try resizing it to make it smaller and then try again?

You'd be correct.

Yeah, the Pokemon thing drew my attention to something that I normally don't.

Never underestimate Pokemon.
