Ugh, I'm sorry you're feeling that way, bb. :((( I definitely know that place. The thing I always think about is the title of Felicia Day's book, You're Never Weird on the Internet. I've never read it, so I don't actually know what it's about, but I ALWAYS think, YES. YES YOU CAN. YOU CAN DEFINITELY BE WEIRD EVEN ON THE GODDAMN INTERNET. XP And it sucks! Because it makes me feel like, man, if I can strike out even in the midst of a bunch of people who are more like me than the average street block by about 9000%, then I really am doomed! XP Because I totally also get those feelings of like, man, how come--even on the Internet!!!!--everyone seems to be better friends with each other than they are with me? :( Or like, man, I wish people did X or Y thing, or felt moved to email me/message me/etc. the way they do with their other friends! Bleh.

For what it's worth, I consider you one of the cool kids. And I know that when you're in this kind of meh headspace that isn't necessarily helpful to know--I'd rather 100 people said it right here right now, not just me! (and undoubtedly others in this post before me!)--but do know that it's quite true.

Good luck on gishing, and getting other zany things to come to fruition, even if dental symphonies aren't in the cards! And on your BB arts, too. Go get 'em, gurl!!!! <33333 I LOVE YOU.
