Aye, 'tis true. Gil and I talk for a long time, very often. We may well be soul-mates, one never knows. If it hadn't been for the Downs, I would never have met such a wonderful young man. My Secret Canadian Love...
A friend of mine who graduated this May is very into LotR. I don't know if she is a Downer, but she should be. You all would have positively loved her as she is purely a delight. Anyway, she's obsessed with LotR, and I mean obsessed! She's so great. I thought we'd never be like real friends, but I think our mutual love of LotR and her sweetness paved the way. She even shouts at me in public now. One time, we were coming home from a one act play clinic, and she let me wear her Elven brooch on my scarf for hours! I love her; she's so cool! Oh, and for her patch in our drama class quilt, she sewed a perfect leaf brooch out of green cloth and silver thread. Isn't she awesome?!
