If we were in the same place, we'd be chatting over coffee -- so you wouldn't notice how much you needed to say. ^_^

Exactly. I've been betrayed by people I barely knew, and by people I'd known for 20 years. What do we really know? I think I have one friend that I know almost everything about. Unfortunately, she's clinically depressed and lives far away. I call and leave a message on her answering machine, and that's about as far as it gets these days.
That's part of what Live Journal is about for me. I really, sincerely want to know more people. I don't have family to fall back on (Not really. They're alive, but...), and there's really only one person I get to regularly talk with about most aspects of my life. Even so, he's pretty much disinterested in many of my interests. Anyhow, LJ gives me a foot in the door, I hope.

I hear what you are saying about foothold-in-the-door...I often wish the geographic-doors of everyone on my friends list were a bit closer together.
Thank you for the comment about doing one's best. I recently wrote that as much as I miss others, I can't imagine that I'm missed by others.
I'm only beginning to realize that I'm alive, and exist...I'm only learning this, because of the company of those around me of late; primarily the authors I've been reading, and the lj community members I co-write with -- yourself included.
