Yea, I got him hooked on the Rufous Beaked Snake and we've been friends ever since, one of the few people I text all the time from the forum.
I wasn't getting into the whole makeup thing because unless it's clearly obvious I wouldn't have the slightest idea. I don't encourage people to wear all that stuff for the simple reason is you're hiding your true self. If somebody can't accept you for what you look like without having to do all that stuff then they don't need to be in your life.
