I'm with Missy. Part of the reason I've come out of my hole in the last couple of weeks is because of the feedback I've gotten from these wonderful people.
My mom and my friends outside of cyberspace help a lot too. I get pounced on by a few of my friends if they don't have something entertaining to read within a sufficient amount of time.
And IM is a marvel. My mother doesn't understand how I can talk to multiple people online, talk to her on the phone, talk to whoever happens to be crashing in my room and write a paper at the same time. Just like there's order in chaos, sometimes there's focus in distractions.
