Aardy should go work for Hollywood *g* Very nice teaser

Better late than never Archaneus Happy birthday Mira!

Happy birthday to both of you (what is it about this time of year, so many Pen people having birthdays... creative part of the year to be born or something?

Brute, we seem to have had similar experiences in this. I completely agree.

Fear is like sunshine - it wakes you up and makes you blind to everything around you. Of course, fear doesn't have the good side benefits sunshine does *g* But it was the first thing I could think of. I like this kind of post, thanks Salinye - more!

Yes Peredhil, fear of not living up to a standard of replies to a thread scares me away from posting, possibly why I stayed away from actually reading and registering at the Pen for so long. But here I am, perhaps I can overcome that fear. Or even surprise myself and post things I didn't think I was able to write. But as for the topic at hand, I have felt depressions in various situations, and while the causes may have been different, the result was always the same. And it sucks, to be frank. BUT, there is always a way out, and by that I mean a good way. Love, be it from a friend or a relative or whatever, has dragged me up numerous times. The times I didn't get that, I still dragged myself up through my own willpower, but it was a lot more painful. Show your friends and family the love that you feel for them in their time of need, it really helps.

*disgusted* Just say NO to domestic violence! (well, and just about any other violence I guess...) Being "used" to something doesn't make it any more right...

Oh yeah, I nearly forgot that Aardy was somehow born on the same day and given the same name... the world never ceases to amaze, neh? Happy belated birthday to you Aardy, I already congratulated Val at least twice back on the day it happened so adding another one belatedly feels like overdoing it Ooo, shiny icons... :woot:
