Okay, what I meant by "sorry" was more just a recognition of the fact that I am your friend, and thus my opinion might matter to you, and I don't want my opinion to be hurtful, but I also can't really be dishonest. It's not about your intent, and I am quite certain that you don't write for my benefit. But I have no objection to not apologizing--feel awkward doing it anyway, I guess because it seems like I'm apologizing for having the reactions I have, and I don't really feel sorry about that; it's the consequences of communicating those reactions to you that concern me....
As for universal meaning, that was a point more related to my reaction to your writing as one individual (individual vs. universal, subjective vs. objective sorta thing) than to your talking about bigger, non-executable stories. I really had no idea what you meant by that, exactly, though now I have a better idea, thank you. I do think it's possible to some extent and in a certain sense. It requires certain things of your readers, like sincerity/interest and literacy and possibly other, less obvious things, so it can't be everyone, but at the very least, some writing gets much closer than other writing.
I don't know. It's Joey Morrison's wedding. Lexi's older brother. Yeah, I need to get started too...sadly we don't read anything as long as a book. But they're (well, some of them) pretty intense readings--I mean logically demanding. Will def. get back to you on dates.
Sorry I'm probably writing like a robot. My grandma is visiting and making me do things, and it stresses me out. Like a lot. That and other things. The more emotional I get, the more logical my writing sometimes.
