Aww, thank you all so much for the lovely welcomes -- I knew you were a great bunch beforehand, but witnessing it first-hand so to speak actually makes a difference

As far as the writer's block is concerned...for some weird reason I never considered joining in (until now), maybe because I have so many "writing duties" already (I'm on a poetry page, moderate a text-based rpg, and am theoretically working on a novel -- theoretically because if I write a page a week it's a lot...and I'm rambling again) But now that you mentioned chains, cariad, I admit I'm strangely intrigued I'm a bit tight on time at the moment (exams coming up...) but I think I'll join in when things calm down a bit again.

As for the reason I finally found my way out of lurkdom...no need to be sorry about that. Looking back it was just one of many signs I shouldn't have ignored...you should respect the ones you claim to love, and it's not that I expected him to do anything he wasn't comfortable with, I just wanted to have it out in the open when I figured out that I couldn't just act like it wasn't there to start with forever...and the way he reacted was well, disrespectful to say the very least. So I'll go with the opinion of my friends and try to believe that I'm better off without him which is quite a task although part of me knows I'm right...but hey, I got a blog for that kind of ramblings so I'll stop boring you to death now

Once more thank you all! I'm feeling all welcome and fuzzy inside
