In Minnesota, Dallas is definitely better known. It's not until I looked into Houston that I figured out how close it is to Dallas in population (metro). I also didn't know how big the Houston economy is.

But I do have a sore spot for Dallas: You took our NHL team!

I've been to Texas five times -- Amarillo, San Antonio, Austin, Austin, El Paso -- and yet when I think Texas, I still think Dallas.

I just sparked this debate, waiting on the Maverick (And I don't mean John McCain) to get back to this.

Ok, I am going to tell the truth.

C-D members, don't try to bash me either.

I am 14. I might be young but I ain't stupid. Don't look at me differently because I am young, treat me the same way.

My mama is 42.

My brother 21, my sister is 18 and my other brother is 17.

My oldest brother didn't go to college.

My sister is going to Texas A&M-Commerce this year.

My brother will graduate this year.

I am going to Kathlyn Joy Gilliam Collegiate Academy (Early College High School). While I am in high school I will be working on my college degree. This school is very hard to get into. When I graduate I will have my diploma and my bachelor's degree. I will be taking the same classes as college students. If I get enough hours I will be a sophomore in college when I graduate.

That's really cool. I wish I could have done something like that.
