Ok so I know we all go through our fluffy stages, and that we have to be patient with them so as not to break or hurt them (or even worse push them further it their fantasy world). I swear to god though, their attracted to me. The guy with shadow acts just like a kid who hung out with my group of friends when I first moved to America. Here it is ( Read more... )

Delusional, anyone?

Kudos for not going postal on this person. Believe me, you're not alone.

And I hope that girl wasn't scared off - it would be a shame to lose someone who would really contribute to the community.
