Dude you would have been all up ON this cake, we've been talking about food so much lately that I was like IF ONLY NOEL WERE HERE TO HAVE SOME OF THIS TOO!!!
I have to admit that while I realize some people are shy or anxious or just don't have an account, in general when someone comes with something antagonistic or questioning, they lose 50 respect points right off. It's just very obvious sometimes that people are logging out to do anything but go "GO YOU!!" and I can't stand that. I am ok with being questioned by my friends or even just lurkers, so long as they are showing basic respect. I don't name call or go dramatic, I'm not in snark communities - I am ok with people being honest. But like someone on formspring was trying to say they COULDN'T out themselves because it would ruin them with their internet crowd and I was like...really? Because the only way I ever ended up with an "internet crowd" I was interested in having was by laying it all out. I dunno.
Thank you, for all the school stuff, and I totally think you rock too for going above and beyond <3
