Thank You

Today I spent a lot of time going through my old email and contacts in Outlook. I had, previously, and lazily, not been updating contact information as people emailed me. So, in many cases, I your email in a four-year-old email I had saved, but did not remember I had your email. Then, today, I saw the old email and remembered how I used to communicate with you often and had somehow fallen out of touch. Thank You for the emails and comments you gave me.

As well, I had some people in my phone that were not in Outlook, and conversely people's numbers in outlook that were not in my phone. (I still have not added numbers to my phone.) But, thanks for that time you gave my your number. Thanks for understanding my phobia of making outgoing calls.

Yes, I really, truly have social anxiety and I always think people are not really interested in hearing from me or that I will say something offensive or disappointing, but apart from that, I also was just neglectful in keeping track of what contact information I did have, thus creating the self-sabotaging condition of believing I couldn't contact you, even if I psyched myself into it. I am sorry. I apologize. That was not being a good friend or acquaintance or dependable writer.

Like a stalker, I have probably gone through your profiles and info on LJ, or MySpace or your website today. I have probably tried to confirm the contact info I had, or find new info. sometimes people change their emails or delete accounts, I as have found. A lot of people (including myself) have many email addys and only really ever check one (and use the others for registering with online sites that may generate spam). Thank you, in advance, for understanding I'm not actually a stalker and not going to do something horrible with the information you made public on the internet. Thanks.

And, thanks for reading. For reading email. For reading manuscripts I made available to you. For reading some old IRC chat. For reading some post on alt.gothic back in the day. For reading something I posted to a Yahoo!Group. For reading this journal. For reading fics of all sorts. Thank you very much for all the time you invested in reading fics and original stories that I wrote. I entirely appreciated when you replied to me. I am sorry I do not have more, or newer chapters or stories to show you. Maybe I will in the future. I hope so.

Thank You.

(BTW, I feel somewhat bad about removing 'Qirfae' from my website, but I had to do it, at least for now. Fanfic has sketchy legal status. I am looking into ways that I can have this hosted or distributed in some form in the future. Suggestions welcome.)

And, lastly, thank you for the times we met in real life and you were kewl. Thanks for that.
