I am not entirely sure, but I think that this is the part where I leave a short message about my graditude to you for choosing to accept the thought of me being a friend of yours. It would mean very much to me if it could. I'm sorry to say that I am physically not allowed to thank you and be totally honest. Honesty first, friendship second, emotions are dreams.

One who is bittered, and long since unwilled. He slips reminisce to once he knew. A silver its' cloud, the casting and shroud. Once his mind sky blue. In numbered years, some are found wise. But, this one had grown and found the surmise, That if youth eternall could be stayed, then how so was it children could fade to gray? - TymexPyres
I know this is going to sound utterly insane, but have you ever read the book Neverwhere? I just finished reading it, and I absolutely *loved* it...but for some reason, I pictured you guys like the two characters Mister Croup and Mister Vandemar. Very fitting in my opinion.
