Maybe it's because it's the Internet, it's hard to get a joking tone across. I'll make sure to say I'm joking next time.

Anyway. Like I said, I'll check it out later. When I'm ready. Because yes, I remember feeling upset. I still feel upset. I don't want to feel upset anymore. Reading your post will most likely make me feel upset, so I don't want to right now. Don't worry, I'll read it eventually.

Your time of alienation sounds interesting. You should talk about it more often.
Sorry, I didn't get it as a joke. That's the Internet. Sarcasm doesn't come through.

I don't really talk about my time of alienation because I never really felt alienated. That was the difference between me and the woman I wrote about earlier who "lost it" in Japan and her mother had to come pick her up and take her home after a few months. She felt completely alienated and isolated. The funny thing is, she had more native-English speaking friends than I did. Her community didn't alienate her, as mine didn't alienate me. She alienated herself, and paid the ultimate price.

I don't want you to read something if it going to make you upset. I would rather we get back on the topic, actually.
