I've a lot of words in my head, apparently. Now if only they were at least NEW words, different ones... not this same-old same-old rumble of discontentment and confusion.

Someone just ICQ'd me: "Being worried sick is hell." And he hasn't explained. I don't know who he is worried about, or if he assumes I am worried, or what... maybe he read Akasha. She's worried.

Ahh... now he has replied. I feel relieved - and guilty for that relief, since he's worried about his SO. This is not good. I know I would want sympathy, not relief, from people, if Cal or Kadin or Elru disappeared. He's had no word from her, rather unexpectedly... can't raise her on the phone, no internet connection, and (duh) he's not there to go check on her.

And now that I've had a moment I AM worried... this is someone who impresses and pleases him, therefor this is someone the word cannot afford to loose, someone worth keeping around and alive. Yes, I've a high opinion of him... but then, he's earned it, at least in my eyes.

So I am worried with him now. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anything I can do... I don't know anyone who lives in her town or city or whatever-it-is, more than likely.

Stress, meet Jax. Jax, meet stress. The two of you are going to be together for a LONG time.
