I challenged Alan Canon to a Wordscraper rematch, and he'd added me on Facebook not five minutes later! Haha... he's eight years older than I am, NOT THAT IT MATTERS. NICE! I'm looking at the phone out of habit, too... I know Eric's not going to call me! Alex Lee deleted his Facebook account again - MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY!
