((julia)) thanks for your post and your encouragement! I think it is highly possible he and I could meet in NYC in Dec or Jan or even both. I am just home studying for the next couple days so I have "time" to call, I am just avoiding it. the topic I asked him for help with, basically, "what should I do with my life after I finish grad school [hopefully] in december?" is so big, I am avoiding both the topic and talking to him. the sources of stress are compounding!! LOL!!!

the green dress was actually a disaster \:\( it was totally unflattering (I did not know v neck floor length gowns could manage to be unflattering) and also the lining was narrower than the overskirt so when I sat in cello playing position the lining hiked up and showed my legs through the translucent overskirt material which instead of being sexy just looked wrong. As soon as I tried it on I thought, there is NO WAY I can wear this because it made me feel so dowdy! I am going to try to get a refund! I ended up coming up with a Fashion Emergency Backup Outfit of this cute blue silk dress I bought for no reason at all that turned out perfect. PHEW!!!

I feel weird sending him a picture of myself... though maybe that was what he was doing telling me about his myspace fiddling site? Same with the recording. Unless I wanted to create my own myspace music site, but that would probably just tempt me to start spying on him... I did find some more inspiring links that I would like to share with him, though.

thank you ALWAYS for your advice and encouragement!!
LOVE!!
