I think the idea was that they would somehow hold the pieces of me that I felt were missing. That maybe, if I wrapped my identity up in theirs enough, we would somehow make a whole person.

Hopefully I'll feel up to posting on this dear old blog soon. :)

      Thanks so much, Lauriloth! Good to hear from you. Your comment made me smile.

      Indeed! It did go by very fast. I look forward to posting about my NaNo! Did you end up doing it yourself as well?

      I did do NaNo, indeed. ^_^ I had a wonderful one! Still scrambling around trying to actually finish my novel though. Hoping to have it done by New Year's...hopefully. Eheh.

Thank you for stopping by! I read every single comment and love them all. Seriously, it makes my day. I do my best to comment back!

My only rule is basic respect and honor. Disagreement is accepted, but hate and trolling is not. Otherwise, say what you need to say, and have fun. And don't forget to grab a free complimentary mint on your way out.
