Heads up
I've been mulling over the whole "how to be a friend if you know you're crap at being a friend" thing for the past couple of days and I intend to reply to your comments, but I've been very busy with Annoying Real Life stuff - as well as some Pleasant Real Life stuff, such as catching up with a very neglected friend (how appropriate, heh) - since I made that post. I hope I'll get around to replying and continuing my rambling tomorrow.
