RE: Shaky

Well, I don't always mention them, but he has some good qualities. Also, he is a bit of an asshole which I definitely have some of that in me. He is a loner, always worked too much, caustic sense of humor, says what he is thinking (to strangers/co-workers but not family), and some more I can't think of. He was always good with his hands and taught me many things about fixing this and that as well as figuring out things. If I ever gave my life over to alcohol, I'd probably end up like him - but that will never happen.

On the other hand, he's hurt a lot of people which I don't really think is in me, and we are worlds apart in terms of education and intelligence.

I love you, plain and simple. I can't believe you still spend time with me after the "other stuff." I have my problems and I hope I've laid those (or most of them) out for you.I know what you mean, sometimes I don't ask things because I don't want to know.
