Alright, so I got this IM from a guy, I changed his SN to "this kid" cuz i guess I'm a nice guy. but anyhow, in a wierd way it pissed me off and it is kinda funny. so enjoy reading it. but to all u guys that have questions and stuff. before u ask people questions, read their MD applicant profile. that's why we put it up. so u can look at it and we don't have to tell u everything. and try to be nice.

This_Kid: dude you're already in medical school, you've got it made

VirileP: so what?
VirileP: why do u think I'm on SDN. to help bitches like u out.
VirileP: now listen.
