Are you back?

are you guys on FB?

i cant believe i'm not the only one! high 5. yes i saw the fireworks, they were glorious. everyone in town had some remark to make about the new year. and tortimer gave me some party poppers to pull. but i pulled them all earlier that day because i was excited, and i wanted to make room in my pockets for all the fish i was catching that afternoon. anyway, it was truly a great night.

Glad to hear you had a great New Years!

Have a awesome year!

superstore? i saw one there the day before christmas!

no wii's to be found anywhere.....i love mine....

hey speccy nice new picture!! happy new year. it sounds like you had a pleasant christmas. i was going to explain about the bbc but beck probably did it better than i ever could.

did you know i am a rock star? no camera tricks necessary. happy xmas to you & sarah xx

Aw, thanks for the card, I love Hoops + Yoyo (is that what they're called?) Soooo cute! Hope you're having a lovely Christmas!

I know you're not trying to sound mean, and neither am I... despite how everything both of us has written seems that way. Bear in mind though... "my idea of what constitutes a friendship" can hardly be determined solely by your experience. I've really only known you a little over a year... so don't assume I've always been this way. It's only been within the past few years that I decided not to let anyone get too close, or to get too close to anyone.

i browsed the big chain stores and futureshop/bestbuy are crazy expensive. i think i'll have to get them from thesource.....

my mom's pair is rca and they seem to have good reviews

Did you ever figure out what the fuck was the reason for earl even being there??

You know, one of these times you ought to answer me on msn.

Oh, the bizarreness. I hope you're doing ok. Guess what? We have Tim Horton's in Ireland too! We have concessions in newsagents (umm, convenience stores?) and a big one in Dublin Zoo! Random, eh? And how fab was that goldfish-bauble? I hope that really exists.

Conclusion!!!

Hello hello, how are you doing? I was going to relate an amusing anecdote but I forgot what it was.. Are you excited about Christmas? I'm not. I opened my chocolate advent calendar this morning, and guess what was behind the door?

I offered, through Sarah, to send you a Christmas card. Want one? Sending cards is one of my favourite parts of Christmas. Yeah, sounds lame.

Glad you're doing alright, or at least it sounds like you are.

You're absolutely right - you were too reliant on Sarah. Glad you mentioned it first, cuz I wanted to, but couldn't figure out how to say it in a way that wouldn't sound harsh.

If you want to go out and get a job, then do it. Yes, you need to work on getting better, and activity is one of the best ways to do that. A job would be a great idea. It keeps you busy. You're not going to get better just staring at the wall and going stir-crazy.

Going to school would also be a great way to spend your time. Even if you just took a single course. Even if you just took some evening adult-ed just-for-fun course, it would give you something to do.

One thing that helps me is a drop-in centre here in town for adults with a mental illness. I'm sure there must be something like that around you. Yes, I know it means being around other people. But it might be worth the risk.

Good luck! Feel free to talk to me anytime you feel.

Hahahaha..biscuits? I'm not sure if we have what you would call "biscuits". Judging from the picture, I would say "scone". I may need to investigate further.
PS: I bought American stamps, send me your address!
PPS: If you want.

How are you doing these days?

Stay strong dude. Get better.

Hey, I hope you're doing ok. I'll miss you loads if you're not on SG!
