I totally get the social awkwardness problem you have; it happens to me so much too. XD I seem more confident about talking with people on the internet, ironically enough. Conversations with real people that I'm not already friends with is uncomfortable.
Sorry to hear Morshore isn't there anymore, but I'm sure what it is now is just as great. It's great you're taking your time so that you can get the most out of what you envision it to become. I'm new to the series, so I had no idea about time traveling or cycling for certain villagers until this website. (I played for 10 months before finding this, too! XD) My town ifs finally coming together... except for some villagers that enjoy moving in on my central and most important path. =P
I added you to my 3DS friends. You seem like a very nice guy, and I'd still like to play with you one day.
