The Universe and I didn't think twice when she was over for dinner and said, "I don't know where I'm going to be living."  Our natural and immediate response was, "Well - why don't you come live with us?"Loyalty and honesty are very important to me.  That's just the way I am.At times, being my friend is probably hard, though.  My bipolar can make me difficult to deal with and I can easily become convinced that I've done something wrong to hurt you when nothing has actually happened... as such, there are lots of times when I have concocted reasons to put up barriers between myself and others that are almost entirely delusional.But - those are issues that I try to make my friends aware of so that they understand when I get a little nutty.So... yeah.  Good thread.</blockquote>
