Or in other words your letting Palshife ruin everything. Ya know what it sounds like you need? Backbone. And a willingness to go in for what you want no matter what others do. I know about Pal.. but no matter how close or not someone is, holding yourself back for their sake is just that.. holding yourself back. Don't ever do that.. there's too little lifetime to waste it wishing for things you can't get because you won't let yourself have them. If it pisses the other dragon off.. fine. The fact that they're in control is something you need to fight off. :P

BTW, I misplaced my response. It's right there down below instead of being heiarchically attached to yours. XP

I find it rather strange that you're siding with me over Palshife. Not that it's a bad thing, I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but I also don't want to take it for granted. If I promise to moderate my decisions and not be so brash, will you explain exactly what reason you have for deciding to help me out? I'd like to know, because honestly, it feels good that at least someone is on my side, and I'd like to keep it that way. :P

You're such a sweety, you know. I think the best way I can get control is not to directly confront them, that way they'll have no reason to go after me. I hope she isn't lying about not striking first. I will stand my ground on things I know to be true, and for what I hold to be right, reguardless of what her stance on things is.

Though I want to lie low for now. I want to just stick with people I know already like me and have the time to spend with me. If others want to talk to me they'll have to show they appreciate me. I know a few that do, and I guess as long as I have that I'm okay.

Oh, and Mono? Thank you. Thank you so much! Your willingness to stand up for me, at least in terms of making me feel like I deserve to feel happy, means the world to me. I probably won't be on much for a couple of days, I have to regain my bearing on things, but when I'm back I am pretty sure I'll remember to talk to you. There's a few things brewing in my mind that I want to work on that I'll tell you about when I'm back!

Of course. Now, why would I side with you, as you say it? First.. I don't have anything against Palshife either. She's very cute offline, an can be a sweety when she's not feeling very depressed. Second, I feel more that you are worth being around, even close with, an few things get me going more than seeing friends in obvious positions of distress and conflict. I pretty much -live- to help others feel good, and enjoy life. So, you being a friend of mine, and finding obvious distaste/distress over your situation automatically draws me in an makes me want to help.

Trust me, I know all the feelings your having there. I"ve been through one or more situations that share qualities with what your dealing with.. an none were ever fun. I do hope it works out! Now, there is -one- thing I need to say.. I can't IM through my phone right now. Bill is too expensive that way, so I'm not going to be on chat programs quite as often for a little while. It'll settle out, but for now things are far too tight. Take care, and enjoy whatever you get into!
