Yay! I caught a Melan hatching! ^.^

For those that care, update on my dry hand issue.

I'm really beginning to see and understand how much better for me silence is.

And it's not necessarily because of the problems my speaking can create. But because of how much one can learn about others by what they say and do when they think nobody is watching, and when they *know* people are watching.

The differences between personalities and interactions based on the person, situation, circumstance, etc are a fascinating thing. Really makes me wonder why I never got into psychology and criminology-type stuff. Especially when I *love* shows like Monk, Dexter, Lie to Me, Numb3rs, Bones, etc.

I still consider Reality to be the best piece I've written. Each time I read it, I get shivers and chills anew. I feel I did a marvelous job making the reader feel the emotions and panic the MC did. And I hope to accomplish that level of connection with my current projects.
