Hey Ave,
I already wrote you personally, but I wanted to 
drop a note here as well.  I totally know where 
you stand right now.  I had a really lousy 
Christmas :(.  I had to go home only to find that 
I was almost completely ignored, and I suddenly 
realized my life was my own problem.  My great 
aunt also had a major stroke right before 
Christmas day, and is going to pass on soon.  I 
havent been happy in a good while, last year was 
really nasty for me for the most part.  I tried 
to use cels as a way to comfort myself, but, in 
the end it just made everything worse.  I love 
cels, and I love animation..but the stress of cel 
collecting is nothing to take lightly.  In the 
end, Id rather see the cels end up with someone 
else than myself.  They sit in my book and 
collect dust so, Ive also decided to chill out. 
Only going after my favorite character, and even 
then, just a couple more to go before I bid 
adieu.  There are a lot of "adult" things I have 
to pay for this year, so, cels will have to be 
cut out.  I had a tiny bit of a breakdown over 
the holidays, and I realized I had been letting 
some things slip by me.  I too need to get my 
life in order big time ^_^;;, but that can be a 
good thing!  Absence makes the heart grow 
fonder :).  Take a vacay for some time, have a 
nice big breather, cels will still be here when 
you want to come on back.  Life can pass you by 
if you arent careful, it's good to take stock 
once in a while, and it will all still be around 
later :).  Chin up gal, see you!
