Comic Sans is fine in that context, but people misuse it all the time.

Haha, awesome. I have heard much about this twilight business and haven't seen it or know much more about it than it's a movie for whiny goth kids, haha.
I guess that's a good thing. I'm well on my way to becoming one of those adults who is disconnected with pop culture and whose concerns are primarily in his health, finances, and a handful of special interests. 6/1/2009 8:47:13 AM
