Erinn- I am terribly sorry if I offended you or Christian. I, by no means, was meaning that you necessarily *were* replacing your friends with the characters. I, of course, have no right in telling you who you are or what's going on in your life; I don't even know you. I guess it was a bad assumption, and I don't want you to take it the wrong way. I thought that at the end of the letter I had stated that this was just my opinion and that I cannot tell you what you are to do or who you are. I guess I jumped to this conclusion because this is kind of what has happened with my brother and I thought I saw a connection. I also did not at all mean to sound patronizing, because, believe me, I do not feel intellectually superior or was even meaning to sound that way towards anyone on this list or I come in contact with. I didn't presume to have the 'answers to all of your questions' or anything, and, like I said, I'm sorry if I came across that way. ******************************************************************* Sarah cinnimon@vvm.com http://members.tripod.com/~cinnimon4 ---------- Chrisian said it better then I ever could. I know the difference between my friends in characters, obviously. Its just on most days I'd rather read him then go out with friends. Because I feel like I would simply have a better time.
