It's strange that I went to bits like that after not having seen Sheila for almost ten years since my best friend Kara went to the US... Still, I've known her ever since she (and her sister) were teensy kittens :(.

The fic... I think the problem is that it's the only exchange prompt I've ever been seriously unhappy with (not because I can't do it, but because it's what I've been doing forever, and way too close to what I've written just before). There's absolutely no thrill to it, and I just can't find the energy to write it, *grumbles*.
