Re: Yello thar, stranger
Hey, long time no see! I've been good: school wasn't actually crazy this year so I've been getting lots of editing done (and watching a lot of anime on the side). How about you? - 20:03, 17 April 2011 (EDT)
 * I'm glad this year's been good to ya: here's hoping it continues this trend! Last year was pretty good for me except for the last couple months, which were horrible; this year had a rocky start, but it got better, so I've got no complains. Who doesn't hate homework? :P I was actually supposed to be studying for a final exam all day, but it's soooo boring and the test is on Wednesday, so it's hard to really kick myself into gear. - 20:19, 17 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Ouch, depression certainly isn't fun. Making friends is definitely a great way to stave it off, though: it was crazy how much difference finally having a friend in class made for me during the second half of first year University. I'm glad you've found such a great new friend: it's awesome when you can become thick as thieves with someone just like that *snaps fingers* - 14:29, 20 April 2011 (EDT)

Re: Hello stranger
Lol, so it has. I've been good. School was a lot more hectic this year (and I still have exams left); I took an introductory Japanese course, which was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. Other than that, not much to report: just been busy with the wiki, work and the aforementioned education. What about you? - 19:08, 12 April 2012 (EDT)
 * Glad to hear things are taking a turn for the better for ya. I've seen a few friends led down some dark roads over the years, but like you, they've always come back around =) I'm a big believer that the true you can never be snuffed out or changed forever: it'll always shine through, even if it takes a little while. I'm sure it'll work out with your friend - I struggled with a couple of my closets pals at first, but it was definitely worth it =D - 21:32, 12 April 2012 (EDT)
 * Sounds a bit like one of my friends. She was raised by very straight-laced parents, so as soon as she got to University she started smoking and partying way too much (among other things), and there was nothing we could do either except wait D: But now that she's got it out of her system, she's become way more level-headed again. She still can't stand staying with her parents when school's out, but I think most young adults are like that anyway :P - 21:42, 12 April 2012 (EDT)
 * Yeah, it's tough going through the lows, but fortunately for everyone, they don't last forever. If I didn't have patience, I doubt I'd have any friends at all - and if my friends didn't have patience, I doubt they would have stuck with me either ^_^; 21:51, 12 April 2012 (EDT)
 * Neat - I was worried I wouldn't be seeing you for another year after I had to go offline last night (I love my (unpaid) work, but getting up at 4:30 AM requires early bedtimes - although I still stay up far too late on most days anyway :P ). Having to take breaks from hanging with your friends sucks; I've had to go months without seeing a couple of my good pals, but once we finally catch up, it's always business as usual ;) - 20:56, 13 April 2012 (EDT)
 * Huh, talk about mixed messages. Of course, when my one friend told me he didn't want to be friends anymore, he didn't follow through very well either. Personally, I couldn't just drop a friendship either: I grow too accustomed to the companionship (especially if it's a close or near-constant connection). - 20:53, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
 * Are you worried it's becoming a kind of dependence? That happened to me with that friend I mentioned: we used to be really close, and I definitely couldn't handle going cold turkey - fortunately he didn't stay away for long. We talk less now than we did before, but I know I miss hanging out more than he does, so I never bug him - but when he does contact me, I jump on it. Beggars can't be choosers, don't look a gift-horse in the mouth, and whatnot. But I'm weird when it comes to friendships, so perhaps I'm not the best person to be handing out insights and idioms... (Also, lol, it just occurred to me that you'd think one of my girl friends would provide the most dramatic relationship, but nope, it's one of the dudes.) - 21:14, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
 * That's good - glad one of us is capable of it ;P I'm sure it'll be okay too: true friendships are stronger than perplexing drama. - 21:53, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
 * It'll be worth the wait =) - 20:30, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Re: Hullo Thar!
おひさしぶりですね. (It's been a long time!) Great to hear from ya! I'm good; 'been really busy with work, school and volunteering lately, but not overwhelmed or anything, and I'm taking some really interesting courses this year. How are you? Checking the timestamps of the section above this one, I guess we haven't spoken since... April 2012?! Man, it doesn't seem like it's been that long. Amazing how time flies... - 13:26, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
 * Cool - coincidentally, I'm actually in my last year of university. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself; my first year was hellish, but then again, I was in a competitive science program where the (unofficial) point of first year is to make half the students fail and drop out :X - 14:34, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
