You cannot blame me in the slightest for being loud! I have a new friend who's on a date with a dangerous beast, and a boy friend I'll always be impatient to see. He treats me like a queen. That's novel for me. I only hope I don't cling. It's horribly ... needy. I don't want to be needy. And I don't want to be paranoid, either, but I'll be eaten by darkspawn if I let anything hurt Penelope.
