   What a crazy rollercoaster ride it's been!

Feels like my world gets turned upside down!


Very first thing I want to do is thank all of you for all your kind words, PMs and calls. I really do appreciate your support. My life has been a bit of a roller coaster ride as of late. Right now I just feel the need to ramble a bit. I don't feel like talking too much about the sad stuff since I have been getting enough of that with the family. In the end I feel that my uncle passing on is actually the best thing. He wasn't eatting, weighed less than 80 lbs and only took pain meds. Now he is out of pain and for that I am glad he finally finished his battle with cancer. Death is a part of life.

Now one of the cool things I wanted to tell you guys about was this weekend I introduced an anime fan to theOtaku.com site. Her name is Margaret and I really hope she opens up an account so she can join our happy group of crazy otakus here. ^_^ So Margaret if you are reading this hurry up and open your account!! ^_^ She's been reading the Inu Yasha mangas and does some killer Fushigi Yugi fan art. Her art is far and away much better than mine. ^_^

Hmm, speaking of Fushigi Yugi I think it is time for a bishie break!


Smiling bishie goodness, just makes you happy huh. ^_^


Now with all the recent events of my life I have once again had my feeling reinforced that the group of friends I have here on theOtaku are a great group of online friends. Ups and down, rants and raves...you guys put up with the craziness which is my life. I really do appreciate your support and friendship. If I could I would give each and every one of you the biggest panda bear hug ever! You can even ask Mamma Vash, if I ever do meet you in person I WILL give you a big panda bear hug! ^_^

Now let us move on to my question of the day!


Sometime you need a boost from a friend.


Some friends are there for you when you need help, while others seem to just "walk on by" when you need a hand. My question to you is this. When you really need a friend and one of your friends just seems to "walk on by" does that person stay your friend or does it change your friendship?


Sometimes a friend will help you out or they will just walk on by.


I have been very fortunate that my core group of friends have been with me through all the ups and downs of my life. I feel I am the same way with them. We will go visit each other when we are feeling down and always have a shoulder to cry on when we need it. I truly believe that friends should stick with you in the bad times and not just for the fun times. I think that if I really needed the support of one of my friends and they ignored me it would change our friendship. I would feel hurt and I would have to talk to them about how I felt.

Well, I guess I have rambled long enough. I am off to try to make the rounds to everyone's sites. Thanks again for being my shoulder to cry on. You guys are the best and I love you all. ^_^
