I'm taking the risk of replying from work because I feel it's important to start replying to you more quickly. Please let me know if it would help if I started trying to contact you by email (I don't actually have your email address, but I'm guessing that your username is the same as the name in the link to your AOL Page).
Glad to hear that I haven't scared you off. Over the years I subconsciously drove almost all of my friends away (It's one of the reasons I identify with Cody), and I tend to worry that I might do that to my few remaining friends.
Most of November will be relaxing, with the possible exception of Thanksgiving. I need to practice deflecting my grandmothers' attention so they don't start double-teaming me like they tend to do. The "we only have your best interests in mind" thing gets old really fast.
Actually, that's one of the premade custom looks. It's called Nebula, IIRC. I was trying to find a way to make the RPing threads easier for you to track. I know you said that it wouldn't be worth the trouble, but doing something for a friend is always worth my time.
Glad to hear that you hired a trainer, and it sounds like you found a good one. Sorry to hear that you won't be able to visit the gym early in the morning any more. I know you're a morning person, so I hope that won't be too hard on you.
Being told that I inspired something is one of the three nicest compliments I've ever received. (The others are being told that I have a positive attitude [by my former coworker who had a lot of problems no less] and a friend from high school describing me as "Someone who would be calm and content, even if the world were coming to an end.")
Even if you don't feel comfortable giving that advice, I still appreciate that you try. The complexity of that area makes me want to work even harder to get it right.
I figured you would get the reference, but I had to make sure to mention what it was just in case anyone else ever reads this journal.
Just having someone to talk to is help enough. I know that what I need has to come from within. (The foolish seek strength within others. The wise seek it within themselves.)
Your support is greatly appreciated, and I hope I'm able to reciprocate properly if you ever ask for the same from me.
