Heh, am glad you like the icons!! ^_^! The dog ones are pretty cool, incidentally - I love the one you have of Spike (I think ..) looking at the cat!

And heh, am sorry if I embarrassed you, or nearly embarrassed you, etc! But yes ... I know the wish for invisibility all too well! Your advice is extremely sound: I agree that the fronts we put on (confidence, etc) aren't just superficial, they're also part of us. Ie. if you have managed to fake confidence, then that's already an achievement in itself. Am just a big coward sometimes, and hide rather than facing things, which is counter-productive.

Thanks! =)
