Wow. It's been way too long since I've written a journal. I used to shoot these things out the hose, and then I just went quiet. This is just who I am, really—not structured to handle extensive interaction. Everything seems well and fine for a while, but then, seemingly out of the blue, I feel overwhelmed and I hide. Nothing is wrong, it's just what I tend to do.

What would be wrong is if someone does feel responsible for this. I've felt it before: someone goes quiet, switches accounts, or just leaves entirely, and I can only wonder if it was something that I said or did that caused them to do it. Most of the time, I don't even have a chance to apologize on the off-chance that it was my fault—they're gone. It's terrible. I'd like to apologize to everyone that I may have just put in this position. There was no fault here, and if there was, it was mine.

Well, now that that's out of the way...
