Hello again,
About a year ago I started attending meetings of my college newspaper and soon became romantically involved with a staff member. She -- "H." -- was the first real girlfriend I had ever had, being a "good JW" before this. We went out for a few months, had gobs of ecstatic sex and otherwise did not get along at all (strange, isn't it?). When I broke up with her I left the newspaper staff for I could not see staying in such close proximity to this brainless beau.
Recently I got an email from the editor asking me to come back for next year. I really want to write for the paper again as it looks good on my academic record and is actually quite fun. I loathe the thought of seeing "H.", especially since I am currently totally flat relationship-wise.
I've never had to deal with being around, hell, working around, someone I once had a "thing" with. Advice? Suggestions? Jokes?
Bradley
PS...after a three week haiatus I've figured out that I'm pretty damn over the JW's, but CERTAINLY not over my woman troubles. Beautiful Chicagoan ex-JW girl where art thou?
