Oh, Butters, you're a dear, I don't think your heart is black at all. D: But I bet you got a fucking fierce streak when someone genuinely pisses you off.
Sorry to hear about your brother, sometimes all we can do is watch the crash happen and help them out of the wreckage.
OT: Regarding this place, I've been around a fair few forums in my day, and this one is probably the only one that I actually love-hate. I hate it sometimes, another reason I take my little breaks, but I love it and come crawling back. Plus, I have friends here, and it's nice to have those, even if it's only online.
I feel terribly alone and isolated in my real life, though I have friends who will speak English with me. But I feel my lack of fluency in the language is hindering me from really being as outgoing as I normally am. Most of the time, I can appreciate it, because at the core of it, I prefer my privacy and solitude, but every now and again I would enjoy to have coffee or sit and have a chat with someone but I'm all alone.
I have one sided conversations with my dog, because he's the only 'person' around for me to talk to most of the time, when my husband is away at work and my daughter is away at school. To be honest, I've even cried to him about being so lonely, and he just puts his head on my shoulder and lets me cry on him. I wish he could talk.
