thanks, hon *hugs* :) i think all the positive thoughts and such friends were sending must have done me good because I bounced back fast :D

want proof? here's the opening of my current fic:

Will woke up, found himself staring into a pair of beady yellow eyes, and screamed. The owl that those eyes belonged to tilted its head and started at him with a look that clearly said ‘shut up, you idiot’.

“How did you get in here?!?!” he demanded, head whipping around to make sure his window was still shut. “What are you doing in here?” he added belatedly since he was pretty sure perching on a guy’s headboard didn’t qualify as normal owl behavior.

With what almost looked like an eyeroll, the owl dropped something from its talons onto his face and took wing. By the time Will had managed to push the large, heavy envelope away, the creature was nowhere in sight.

“Okay, that was... different,” he muttered, staring down at the parchment in his hands. “Uh... definitely time to take a semester off and get some rest. And therapy. Definitely therapy, too,” he decided, nodding to himself and waiting for the hallucinated stationary to vanish like the owl had. He was just glad his roommate had an early class today.

The envelope didn’t vanish. Squirming, he finally pulled himself together enough to open it. Inside, several pieces of parchment were neatly folded together. Unfolding them, he read.

Dear Mr. Zimmerman,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted as an intern at the Sanctuary Institute for Extraordinary Individuals. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. We await your owl no later than 31 July.
Yours sincerely,
Doctor Helen Magnus
Director
