Nice to meet you, anyway...

Gavin makes me happy on the inside.

Cass & I did indeed lunch with the likes of Katie Dickinson, Amanda Livingston, Emily Fyan, and Alisha Werdon today at bd's. Mmm. However, the $6 slice of espresso oreo ice cream pie was barely worth it. Cass and I also saw Justin LeVeque workin' at Cascade Meijer, so that was exciting! Don't know what's happening tonight, but I believe we are about to embark on a journey with no end in sight...

Jeff, I am affirming the opinion that she doesn't really have any scandalous intentions. If you truly are that uncomfortable about the situation now, then perhaps it is better for you to tell her that it's awkward, and until you go to the EL then you would prefer she not come to the gym. But if it's not that bad, then tell her that you're OK with her keeping in shape there, and continue being friends. It'll probably always feel weird to you now, but at least you can both feign a little normality for the remaining 3 months you'll be home. Or maybe email her and ask her to just come to the gym later in the day, when you won't be working. From what she said, and what the letter stated, she is just a shy, lonely lady who still cares quite a lot about what other people think, and she didn't want to put either of you in an awkward situation. She just didn't know how to say it in a way that didn't sound bad...

Geoff is in a bad mood tonight, so anyone who wants to talk to him: Beware.
