Aww, the relief is almost sweet, at least half-way. I'm glad I got the "Oh, thank God -- OH NO" reaction, actually, because... it was sort of something I was going for. And don't worry, you can join me in the cold-hearted witch club because that's how I felt doing this to Adam. *sobs*

I'm so glad I got that strong relationship thing through -- I just imagine the Cook brothers being like three parts of one being for as much as Cook is in adoration of them, and they of him. It's about 70% of why I love him alone. I'm not that close with my siblings, but I have friends that I feel the same way for -- I feel like I'm affected by things that happen to them, so... that's where that sort of came from.

The image of that photograph -- I don't know where it came from. It made me cry. It still does. I'm a sucker for photographs and the emotions attached to them, so it was just so clear in my head and hurt my heart so bad. And that bit about you and your brother? Oh my goodness, what a strange feeling to have made that sort of random connection.

Okay, I'll stop talking now (I tend to go on and on), but thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I appreciate it like whoa. ♥ ♥ ♥

Trust me, that's certainly what happened to me. At least we can be cold-hearted togethed. *Hugs*

You really did get the tight sibling relationship. My sibling count depends on exactly how you define 'sibling', but I have two by blood. My sister is four years older than me, and my brother is four younger, and I can't tell you how many times we've plotted together - and against each other. Or the times we've stayed up until dawn sharing secrets. I really do get the idea of them all being part of one person, that makes sense to me.

Pictures tell endless stories, as I'm sure you know. All you have to do is look for them and somethig in that picture is going to mean something to someone. Considering what this story is about, I think the picture hurt more because I could connect to it. Actually, to this day we usually don't say 'I love you', it's normally 'you love me'.

I ramble as well, so don't worry about it! I'm sort of talkative, so sometimes I don't know when to shut up.

"You love me"! That's cute! :D

I am strangely talkative in writing... in person I sort of freak out and say stupid stuff and generally am awkward and shy. Weeeiird.

You say things like that when you're a bit egotistical. :)

Online I can handle, but still me in a group of people? yeah, I'm not really social. I'll sit and watch, but normally I don't talk until I've been around the people a few times. After I've gotten used to someone, I talk constantly.

I am exactly as you described just now. I also have this really weird... I guess I'll go for it and say "sixth sense" that immediately turns me on or off to people and sometimes, just sometimes, someone has one of those comfortable personalities that I instantly take to. But most people, I am scared to death of them. I think I often miss out on stuff because of this because I have the feeling people think I'm not interested in what's going on or I'm bored or whatever. If I weren't so shy I'd tell them, "I'm just shy!"

Some people just don't feel right. They can seem nice and all, but at the same time, you can't help but think 'uh, stay away from me, please'. However, you're right, there are people you can just see and you like them, they're okay to talk to.

*lol* Shy was never a term I equated with myself until my MawMaw told me I was, then I started paying attention and realized how I might seem that way. Most of the people I spend time around are close family, so it's not like I'm nervous around them and I never really had the opportunity to recognize my initial quietness at meeting people.
