U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 143

Oh, so the deal with the ex (Steve)...we were best friends in high school (he was dating my best gal friend, who I'd introduced him to), after they broke up (shortly after graduation), we started going out as we started college. Long story short, we broke up after a while (he was really heavy into his Jewish frat and partying, and we were at different colleges so...), got back together, broke up again (this time in bed...on our anniversary...and I was stuck paying for dinner that night...as I did almost every date...), and we didn't talk for a year. Suddenly, he emailed me out of the blue last January, saying he wanted to mend burned bridges and have me as his personal confidante, and conceitedly e-mailed me his personal musings and addressed them as if I was his diary, with no encouragement from me. After a while, he said he had actually contacted me because he was doing really well in his life and needed someone like me to bring him down back to earth, and I had "failed" to past his mustre. I stopped responding. Every email from him was condescending, obnoxious and self-centered. Oh, and he never had any interest in pursuing law, and told me he didn't think I'd make a very good lawyer. This was all in January of 2004, and we never contacted each other again.

And then this happened:

Hey Tiff,

First of all. I'm sorry about the last e-mail I sent you in our brief of exchanges. Truth be told what I said about wanting "philosophy information" was crap... At the time I was going through rough things with a girl I was seeing, was heavily regretting breaking up with you (your threat/statement came true), and I was jealous that you were in a happy relationship..

Anyways, before I come off as too stalkerish - Vicky already called me that when I told her I was going to e-mail you... I was wondering if you could give me some Law School Admissions Test advice. I'm writing in October (cue Violins) and I'm curious as to what methods you used to study... In particular, during the actual test itself, what are some insider tips.. Like rules or tricks that you wish you had known before..

Vicky tells me this e-mail address might not work, so I'm going to cut it short here. I tried e-mailing you 3 weeks ago on a yahoo account and it didn't work. So here's crossing my fingers.

Here's hoping this reaches you,

Steve
