Aww, I hope both of you can find some way to communicate more frequently. I feel your pain because right now, I'm far away from my best friends. ):

People, how do you write fanfics so magnificently?
I THINK THE SAME THING. I think some people are just born with talent. And patience. Unfortunately, I kind of only got a light drizzle, while the others got a downpour. XD;

I know exactly what you mean about it being quiet. I have lots of entries to do...so many that it's frightening, but I hadn't felt motiviated because academics and schedule were keeping me so busy and the usual frothing comments and randomness seemed to be lacking. The people that spoke most often on my lj just kind of...vanished...

Love your new icons, theme and header darling.

Been too long since we've spoken. *hugs* Please...just kick me in the pants and demand that I respond to you repeatedly until I am back in the groove. I desperately want to return to Lj land. I'm feeling incredibly nostalgic and worried about all the changes awaiting me in the next few months. I graduated in May, and I'm feeling rather old and real-world-faced at the moment. *sighs*

ack! hope you're feeling better
:)
