And she also likes to tell *everyone* on campus anything I tell her in confidence. She also likes to complain constantly about how she can't stand Darien, which really gets on my nerves.

And now mutual friends are telling me I'd better do something to work out our friendship or bad stuff will happen.

Luckily, I don't have anything to do tonight. Well, except read 200 pages of Moby-Dick which I'm flat out refusing to do. Actually, I'd request that if you happen to be reading this in the next 5 hours or so, write a little inspirational message to Darien... he's going to be up likely all night writing a paper and I'm sure he'll be checking in here periodically and would love to see some happy words.
