In A Nutshell
Lord, a lot has happened since I last updated this. In fairness and honesty, I have updated once since the last time, though it was my first post I kept unopen to the world to see, mostly because I wrote it while utterly tired and thought it was a good idea to actually read it before I opened it up. I think I'll open it back up as soon as I'm

You're welcome. I feel a sort of strange pride for that, followed quickly by damnation at my own inability to get my own social life anywhere near "the norm". I guess I'm just better at helping other people than I am myself. Who knows, I have some shit I should probably work through.
I'm not going to comment on the bulk of your post because it has left me sort of speechless, despite already knowing the majority of what it contained, or actually when I think about it, I believe I was privy to just about everything written. I have to extend an apology for the phonecall we had at or around the 30th of September, I was caught up in situations that I both liked and disliked and it was sort of difficult to deal with. Also, I was in the process of getting some rest after a somewhat exhausting day. Nevertheless, I am sorry that I wasn't as active a conversationalist as I usually am (which, in and of itself, is kinda horrible considering how horrible a conversationalist I normally am). I am glad we had the conversation though. I would hope more than anything that it helped you deal with the things you were having to deal with, but it also helped me a great ton in ways that I wasn't even knowledgeable about at the time. So thanks for that.
If you do manage to drag your ass over to Australia as you so wish to, I'd honestly like to see you one last time before you go. I realize that the possibility of this actually occuring lay somewhere in between the fields of "slim" and "no chance in hell", but it would honestly be great to see you again. Unfortunately, I do not have enough days of leave to take both the vacation I am taking (or trying to take, really) and see you and yours at the same time. Normally I wouldn't ask you or anyone else to visit me in Maryland, but I think that would be the only chance of it actually happening, unfortunately. Unless I can manage to get a four-day weekend in which I can fly myself over there for a bit. But the chances of that happening are, again, highly unlikely. Regardless of how things work out, if you do manage to get to Australia, I hope you have a hell of a time. And don't go catch snakes and spiders, danger boy. Australia lost a national icon in Steve Irwin. Don't try to take his place.
This next part goes without saying, but I refuse to let it go unsaid: You are, and always will be, the person I consider my closest friend and even an extention of my family. I'm closer to you than I am to my own brothers and I appreciate how you have been there for me over the relative short time we have known each other; it means a lot to me, to be honest. And as you have extended your offer to always be there for me in my most dire of circumstances, so do I extend you the same courtesy. Just try not to get thrown into a Mexican prison. I will bail you out, but I don't really feel like going to Mexico for that purpose alone.
I love you too, you big softie.

I don't even remember our conversation on the 30th.. but you're welcome for anything I might have said. I try.. even granting I might not remember what I do to help, or how. I wouldn't worry too much about you having a poor conversation with me, I don't recall ever being upset with you about that.
I'd love to visit you in Maryland before taking off, but the way things are shaping up at the moment, I'll be piss broke for awhile now, and won't have too much luck getting anywhere not related to school. Even trying to do extra things in Australia seems a stretch at this point.. I'm sorry about that, it's just kind of the way things are working out.
Your talk about me not dying or taking the place of Steve Irwin is just making me happy. =) You know how I work well. Thank you for all of that, and the return offer to be there for me. It means a lot to me, and I'm glad I've been able to help in your life, and where I haven't been able to, that I've been able to at least be there for you. Your offer for Mexico and bailing me out of jail makes me happy. =)
I love you too.. er.. too, Alex. You silly Navy man. =)
