the maintaining sanity part is huge for me. seriously, writing all this stuff out makes me feel so much better–so I guess I blog as much for myself as I do for anyone else. And I am grateful that you keep coming back to read it–you’re so very kind, Rachel:)

I actually find the idea of five good christmas-present-giving friends a lot more appealing than a million;-) though I bet there are a million people who would line up to be your friend-however, that could be pretty strange, too. I am not a huge fan of lines anyway. So perhaps you could sit them down on couches–ones that zig-zag, specifically, and then you wouldn’t have to be weirded out by a million people standing in a line to be your friend…

And about a book. That is one of my dreams. I am wondering what kind it should be, though…but thank you VERY MUCH for the encouragement–it means quite a lot. And when it happens, I will be sure to send you as many as you’d like for under your tree.

You should write a book! If I found out you had…I would buy a million copies and give them to all my friends. Problem is…I don’t have a million friends, so I might buy 5 copies (hardback of course) and wrap them in Christmas paper and stick them under the tree!

Sigh. I might need more friends huh? It just means…you rock!

Jess, I love that you share your feelings so freely with us. It kind redeems mankind for me a little bit. I also love that you love to blog. It kinda inspires me. I love the way that you use words beautifully to describe things, express your feelings, and maintain sanity. I love you.

people certainly are just too intense sometimes–myself included, I suppose. And yes, I absolutely deal with that. Most parties I go to, I have to try to make myself NOT feel that way. It’s weird, but I figure it’s okay too. And sometimes it’s the right thing to go–and sometimes it’s the right thing to stay. The tricky part is figuring out which is which, I suppose.

I get a feeling like claustrophobia at times, when I have to leave I have to leave I have to leave it’s not personal but I have to leave.

I know this feeling. When it happens I always feel afraid that I will offend someone by letting slip that I feel this way and that they will take it personally. I had no idea that you dealt with this too.

People are just too intense sometimes.

Well now, I am gonna be potentially annoying and say whoa! this is Rita springer and she’s like famous! and these are her words…:) and honestly, I’d be grateful to read such kind and funny words, even if I’d never heard of you. And in this case especially, I’m pretty sure it takes a superhero to know one. Thank you. So very much…;)

Your hilarious and I find myself wanting to laugh hard one minute and bawl my eyes out the next. I’d also like to kick your ex in the butt and key his car! But, I call myself “saved” so I will pray instead. But my flesh wants to do the other, just incase you wondered. I believe in super heros. Your cape is pretty cool. Just so you know.

I know you are…thank you so much…and grace–I am trying to walk in it, at least.
