I think there's probably a lot of truth to the Eric theory.  The retaliation/numbing afforded by using people and tossing them aside can be tempting.  My  mini-rampage after Ted was totally based upon treating any representative of Ted's sex like dirt.  Fortunately, my behavior was very short-lived and I completely recognized what I was doing.  I wouldn't worry about the lecturing...it happens when one has a bit to drink (that or just utter flapping as in my case).  

Thanks for the compliments, but I find it's easy to be around all of your friends...that whole like attracts like thing.  As for the email from Clint, he's a cutie.  Speaking from experience I'd watch myself if I were you though...the flirtation is fun and harmless at this point, but I get the impression that you're just Clint's type and unless you have reciprocal interest I would just guard against things getting to be too flirtatious.  However, if there's part of you that is curious, like I said, I think he's a great guy.  Okay, enough of my lecturing (I've just been caught in a couple of situations at work where someone decides to confess their feelings to me and I'm forced to tell them I just don't feel the same way...something that's hard for them to grasp given the fact that some flirting at some point did occur).

Well, I'm off to Vegas this weekend.  My guess is I won't be getting much sleep.  Oh well, life is tough.

Susan

hey susan-  thought you'd appreciate this funny email from Clint in London....  so in brief, my new theory is that eric gomez has had his heart broken (per "Someone Like You") and therefore must act like a slut to ignore the pain.  Heather and I ran that theory past Randall last night at the padres game.....i am slightly mortified at how i lectured eric on saturday.  at first he thought it was sweet because it demonstrated that i do care about him (on some level), but as i drank more i LECTURE more, until he finally started walking away from me!  how embarrassing!  i am totally embarrassed that i wouldn't shut up!  even more surprised that eric sent me the email on monday.  i didn't see it until tuesday since i didn't work monday, but am bummed because i called him monday evening to get eric ang's phone number.....silly concern, but he probably thinks i was calling just to get in touch with him.  now  i will totally not make contact with him- not even respond to his email...don't need to overinflate people's egos!

i would love if you came back to visit at some point in the next 5 or so months!! i love that you have so much fun here, and everyone always comments on how cool you are and how easy you are to be around.....everyone would be thrilled to have you back! (me especially!)  i'll watch for good fares, too!

write back whenever you can....talk to you soon-
julie

thanks! tell them that i had a great time, also. i will be back friday afternoon. i may need to hang out at the beach to recover from the jet lag. jeff was very curious and mentioned to a colleague in london that i had very good company at the beach.  i assured him that you were not married-- he was confused by your ring-- and so was i when i first saw you cruising the halls. he thought we must be dating but i straighted him out. told him that you were all over me at the beach after he left (just kidding!)

so are you taking friday off?

HI Clint-

Wanted you to read this thank you from Eric- they have told me repeatedly over the phone what a great time they had meeting you and hanging out.  I think Heather and I are trying to get people together to hang out this Friday on the beach, potentially....when do you return from London?  have you gotten hell regarding the beach encounter on saturday?

I had such a blast this weekend- thanks again for letting us invade your home!  next time we will not destroy your place- we'll keep it confined the beach!

see you when you get back-
julie

Julie,

Thanks for letting us hang out with you on the beach Sat.  It was good to
see you.  All your friends are very cool.  Say thanks to Clint for me if you
get the chance.  We didn't last much longer that night, thank goodness.
I hope you had a nice Easter.  Other than the Lakers beating the Blazers it
was a pretty boring day.  Not to mention I was brain dead from the pickling
the two days before.
Have a good week.

Eric
