I know I can call you, uncle rick! You are certainly not only the no bullshit uncle, but the good advice uncle. I'll probably be giving you a call this weekend when I get home where I have left my cell phone charger at easter. I'll let Joe know you're thinking about him when I see him.

I'm sure we'll all get through this. I for one, am very blessed to have an amazing boyfriend who was there for me all last night when I found out, and great friends who are helping me stay on track and finish my paper tonight. I also have an amazing and supportive family. Quite honestly, I feel a little ridiculous, because I'M not the one who's having the problems, but people are being so nice to me. I mean, it affects me too, but I almost want someone to tell me to quit being a whiner and realize that not everything is about me.

Usually it's Joe who does that.

Gah, my emotions are all in a jumble. I'm going to try to focus on homework for a while. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being great. :)

PS: Your icon, can I steal it?
