I'm posting a special message this morning to apologize to K.A. and to everyone who read my message last night. I was angry and in my impulsiveness, I posted something out of frustration. In retrospect, it's not K.A.'s fault for accepting this. Everyone can make a mistake. But it was mine to act like a baby and complain for no reason. I knew I shouldn't have done that, but it was so tempting and I had a entry to post, so...
I'm sorry... I know it's probably not worth more than just three but I mean them. K.A. can stop proofreading if he wants. I think I know more than anyone else how much of a pain it is, because I spend hours on each chapter to revise it, so it looks good. If K.A. had seen the original version of that chapter, he wouldn't just have found it tedious, he would have wanted to kill me, like Tyler when he saw it. So... yeah. I know that my English is far from being the best and that I do tons of stupid mistakes that will be hard to fix, because no software can spot them for me, so I can't learn from them. The only thing that can teach me is time. As you saw, chapter 13 is much better than chapter 1 and if I wrote a new chapter in one year from now, it would be better than chapter 13. At least, there is slow and gradual improvement, isn't there?
Anyway... I am still deeply sorry. I would remove the message on my blog, but I don't hide the truth. I will keep it there to remind me how rash and impulsive I can be. Ciao!

I wasn't offended. I totally understand. I've spent the last week trying to figure out a way to get out of proofreading for you without telling your straight up, and when I couldn't think of one I was even more nervous and frustrated, so I tried to justify myself by complaining. Hindsight is perfect. I owe you more apology than you me.
Well... apology accepted, I guess, even though I still think it was my fault. The job you did on chapter 13 was still great, though.
This wouldn't have happened if Ricky played with me more... >.> I miss Ricky...
You miss me? Aww... wait... I feel like I heard that a lot lately...
The more it's said, the more likely it becomes that you'll abandon your family for some internet cafe or something... >.> Well, I didn't say it made it /that/ much more likely... unfortunately...
There is no internet café in the middle of nowhere, Kirb... though... you know, I am online right now... (point at Gmail and wink)
(Look at gmail and blink.) Is there something specific there or am I just supposed to send you an email?
