Poor kid. I feel for her.

I just thought of one who is not from here, but Cuba Gooding Jr. lives in Rosorito which is not far.

I actually went to the same high school as some members from the rock band Billy Talent (not at the same time however. They are a bit older than i am. My older brother actually had art class with the lead singer). They even came back for one of the Battle of the Bands shows that my high school puts on.
