Big Bunny Thanks [More:]I was having a bad night last night, couldn't sleep, lonely, missing George so much, and the guys in #bunnies got me through a bad time.

People who don't have an online life might find it hard to understand how I can be friends with people I've never met. It's a strange kind of thing, isn't it?

There aren't many people in the UK I could call on the phone at 4am and have a good old whinge to, but people in other time zones are there in a different way - it's sort of a burdenless form of support. You can read, or not read my words, delete them if you like, reply if you like, give me feedback, advice, cheer me up, or just think 'meh' and close the window.

I know in the past I've been able to offer help and support to people online that I might well hesitate about doing in real life in case it crossed a personal boundary. You know, "I don't know this person very well and this is too much"

I'm not explaining this very well, but anyway, big thanks to the guys in IRC last night, you know who you are.
Damn! I should have gone to IRC. I wasn't still up, but I had woken up ridiculously early - at 5 a.m. I went back to bed after a couple of hours though, and had war dreams. Ugh.

Awww, I'm glad folks were helpful. I was thinking about hopping on after getting back from the drive-in, probably should have for all the luck I had sleeping. I think about you and your gone-but-still-there partner often essexjan, you've really shared a lot of what was wonderful about him and about your relationship and I hope hope hope your broken heart slowly mends.

I've also been on the receiving end of some bunny boosts over the past few months -- nice people who like you and listen to you when the house is big and empty -- so I guess I wanted to also chime in and say "yay team!"

crap essexjan. I'm kinda new here, I'm crazy outdoorsy (meaning the times I post are the ONLY times I'm on the computer) plus I'm a macintard, meaning IRC and meta radio is gonna take a little figgerin' for me. wish I'd been in to say a few words for you cos I relate (oh and I *loved loved loved* my stay in merrie ole Lun'nun a few years back, too)

Dog knows I've had far too many of those sleepless nights myself. cheers from hippie, dippy, bright and beautiful Boulder, Colorado

Please impose on us more often! It's rather nice to feel useful.

Wish I could have been there sweetie. You know I was in spirit.
