The community here is too small. Actually, it's all my fault.

This is weird, because Julie is going to read this since she reads
coatrack. Hi, Julie!
And so I can't really talk about everything I'd like to. That's what
I mean by ``the community here is too small.''
The ``my fault'' part, of course, starts with becoming romantically
involved with someone who was a part of that small community. And who
will be a part of my life for at least the next sixteen months.
It's not that I regret falling in love with you, Julie. It's that --
I don't know -- it makes living with you after it's over that much
harder.
Falling for someone who lives on one's floor is traditionally a bad
idea. But that's not what's giving me the post-mortem difficulties.
It's that we share this forum. This silly public coatrack.
Pop quiz: How many people remember transaction number 1 in this
meeting? (No fair peeking!) In a sick sort of way, life was a lot
simpler then.
I don't know. Most of the time I can deal with this, but when I
really need to talk about it, there you are. So here it is -- I'm
trying to do a coatrack post, and it turns into an open letter to
Julie.
And now you're ready to leave for home so I should log out.
Good night, everyone!
