Hey! I'm Vanessa and I'm 16 (Wooo a teen!). Right now I'm working on adding things to this page, I'd just like to hear what you want to see on it! So, please e-mail your ideas and suggestions to me @
teens@longisland.com
.
Hopefully soon there will be a whole separate Teen Section on LongIsland.com, so look out for that in the future, this is just a mini expert page with some fun stuff, well... stuff that I think is fun anyway!
Oh and the fourth Harry Potter book has been out since July 8th -
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
. I don't care if you are a teen, I'm recommending it to you (along with the first three HP books). I actually didn't get the book until July 24th, I couldn't get it anywhere here, so I picked it up in Manhattan. I'm reading it right now. Hm... *gets an idea* ... haha, I want to be a Harry Potter expert for longisland.com.. that would be fun.

Napster

* If you didn't get kicked off Napster from downloading Dr. Dre of Metallica mp3s, you're lucky... I'm an mp3 addict. If you want to DL from me on Napster, add
usmmatrip2
to your hotlist, I have about 500 mp3s shared. If I cancel the upload on you... instant message me on napster (you have to have the newest beta version for that) and tell me you came from here.
* If you don't use napster, you can download it @
Napster.com
.
Long Island
* Believe it or not, there are tons of things to do for teens on Long Island. I'm working on a list of sorts. Thanks for the suggestion Jen! In the meantime, PEOPLE! GO TO THE BEACH!!! It's right there!
* By the way, you are
never
to old for
Splish Splash
in Riverhead, or
Adventure Land
in Farmingdale. I suggest a visit to each this summer. Splish Splash isn't just kiddy slides. Try... Cliff Diver - its so high that when you are at the top, you can feel the tower swaying.
