Hello LC:
So how's my favorite Faith Enforcer? I heard about what happened with
you and the rest. Cheer up girl, I'm sure they didn't mean what they
said. You did accuse them of being somewhat less than faithful to Her
Majesty. It's only understandable that they would disagree vehemently.
If only I'd been there to back you up like when we were younglings. I
know it looks like you're all alone, but don't worry. You can bet I'm
rooting for 'ya.
Let me tell you about Barcelona. What a wonderful city it is! This is a
city with a history, and one that a thousand years from now will still
retain much of its flavor. Shopping here is quite an experience. I'm so
used to just paying for what I want. But here they expect me to haggle
over everything! I think I'm getting used to it, somewhat. Still, it's
so much fun to buy stuff, even if I'll probably never have a use for it.
I'm trying to find a comfy carpet for my room, kind of like the one in
your old room when you lived with your parents. You remember don't you?
It felt so luxurious to feel it on my bare skin; I just loved to roll
around on it. Sigh. We were so innocent back then. Strange how a little
pleasure like that would be improper for an oldster like me. Whatever.
Anything you do in the privacy of your own home and all that.

I met this guy
in Barcelona, Kepa he calls himself. Quite a nice guy.
He doesn't belong to our secret society though. You should have heard
what some of the others said of him. They're such snobs! It's like
anyone not in our little club is somehow below their lofty pedestals.
We're not like that in the C.P., are we? Anyway, as I said, he's nice
and very polite.
I had to act as a mediator back and forth (the cheapskates didn't want
to pay the toll to get into the city, a toll which I am exempt from,
hence my situation). We went out to eat several times and we talked a
lot. You know, talking is a lost art among most men, but Kepa was quite
conversant. I think I'll visit him again when I return to the city.
This part I tell you in strictest confidence. I think I'm becoming
attracted to someone else. This person is aloof and haughty, smart and
controlling. So many things that Jenn is not. I don't know what to do!
Why is this happening to me? Jenn and I made a promise to be faithful,
but I can't get this other person out of my mind. LC, I need help. I'm
not being unfaithful just for feeling what I feel, am I?
Your best friend,
