Hey, I'm feeling like quite the out-of-the-loop friend, so you're going to have to fill in some gaps for me. (And if I should already know these things I'm really sorry and should let you know that my bad memory is on account of getting up every morning at 4:45.) 1 - When did you go on a blind date? And how'd it go? 2 - Whom of the same sex did you kiss? And have I met her? 3 - With whom were/are you in love? (And if it was that tall-year-below-us-nowhere-near-good-enough-for-you guy from kc I promise not to make too many disapproving noises.) I realize the answers to these questions may be of a length requiring a phone conversation rather than a comment; in which case I'll have to wait until the weekend despite overwhelming curiosity and nagging potential guilt that I've forgotten something important.
