Hey thanks! I really appreciate it, and frankly I didn’t really expect someone to even reply, let alone to be so kind and succinct with your answers! A few of those I threw in try things out and to figure out some of the more subtle nuances (but I didn’t get much help from lang-8, which is understandable though).
I hadn’t realized that たら　could only be used in that way, so that clears up a whole lot.
I really appreciate it though. I’m trying to struggle my way through, and your answers really help clear things up.

I’m gonna get back to it I suppose.
ありがとう！

Thanks so much Prudence! And thanks Justin hahaha, I really think I am going to enjoy this! I already wanna go out and tell all of my friends but, yeah, textfugu says no.. I’ll be sure to lurk the forums and post questions every so often though. I’m really excited about all of this, and I’m glad to be here!
