Alex: I'm actually doing far better than I expected - I can't seem to snap myself back OUT of that mindset now that I managed to get into it, but I know it'll wear off soon enough. No serious bruising of body or spirit. I'm glad you worried, though.

Rhett: I owe you an email or three, and if you want, I'll give you at least some of the details; you might appreciate them. *chuckles*

Caleb: It's hot enough here that it feels like California. I miss you.

Daris: Yahoo hates me. How are you doing, what are you doing, who are you doing?

Snowtygrrr: I owe you an email too; I promise it'll be written soon. My almost-maternal instincts are kicking in and for the first time I'm actually worried about you... are you ok? If you need to talk, get in touch. I'll be here.

Torian: Please be alive when I get back and online on a useful computer? I really miss late-night chatting with you, you know... you match my moods. And yes, I still owe you pain. I won't forget.

Kadin: What news? I am fairly sure there was a day/time you were going to call but I have managed to loose the paper I wrote it down on so I would remember it. Argh. I hope you're settled and happy in the new place... I'm so glad you are away from your parents, finally.

Hida: Worry 'bout you too, pet... are you doing ok? I'd like to talk to you soon.

Scott: STILL not angry, so there. *grins* It was a good 24 hours.

Kenji: I miss you a lot - I drove past the huge japanese import store you introduced me to today and thought of you. Hope you're doing ok out there. *hugs*

Spike: It's gonna be weird having you gone, up in Alaska... ehh. Be careful?

Grr: You are still the most beautiful woman I know. I wish I was brave enough to tell you how gorgeous you look right now - I'm watching you as I am typing this, watching the way the light makes your hair sine, warming myself with your smile. Pretty lady.

Al-X: One of my recent dreams was of you. I wish I still had the tape you gave me. I'd love to have some more of your music; the techno you spun is still some of the best I've heard.

Nick: I wish I hadn't disappointed you as much as I did. You really deserve a good life. I've got the liondog still and you're gonna have to come get it, or get me out there, before you get it back... *smile* ...I would like to taste ice cream on your skin again.

Amber: I don't know where you are right this minute. I don't think of you very often, and I kind of feel bad about that. But... I hope your life is better than mine was, kidlet. I watched Grr's kids playing and crying and eating and living today and I did think of you. You're gonna have a rough life, I suspect.

...people they come together, and people they fall apart...

...no one can stop us now...

...we are all made of stars...

...we are all made of stars...

...yeah.
