Em-

Okay, I don't usually make it my business to poke into other peoples' arguments/whatever. That comment is for everyone's consumption, because they should all know how amazing you are.

You are one of the strongest, most amazing people I know. And Lebeau is...from what I can tell reading the journal system, he just gets his kicks provoking people. Kinda like Mr. Marko, only even more so, as far as I can tell. And he seems...more malicious about it. A couple of times I've seen Alison's eyes get very hard when his name is mentioned.

Don't let him get to you. You're better than he is.

And...sorry about interrupting earlier. Hope you two managed to...er...pick up where you left off. *blushes*

Oh, honey, thanks. I just... well, I posted saying why it bothers me. It scares me. I try to be me and sometimes I'm not and I've had trouble with not being me a few times recently and... I don't know. I want to say "I'm not like that" but maybe I am. Damn. I'm tired and I'm going to cry or something, I have to get out for my run.

(No, we didn't, but it wasn't your fault. Sorry for the embarassment factor, really. *blush* I came back and checked the journalling systems and found all that stuff from LeBeau and spent the evening being pretty withdrawn and upset. *sighs* So, if Logan's mad at someone, it's not you.)

PS ~ You're wonderful, did you know that?

Em-

You have every right to post in your _own journal_ about why something bothers you. And yeah, I know it scares you. I might not know every little detail like Logan does, because I know there are parts of you you'd rather I didn't have to see/deal with. But I know this sort of thing scares you. I have faith in you, though.

My shoulder is always available for crying if necessary. And you better have gotten some sleep, or I'm liable to mother-hen. ;-)

(I can still be sorry that you didn't, even if it wasn't my fault. And the embarassment factor...*shrugs* Not _your_ fault. And Logan and I managed to be completely civil for about thirty seconds with no threats or growling or anything before I went away due to embarassment. Progress! ;-))

PS - I just try my best to be the person you and Angie seem to see me as.
