i met a french girl named claire last night that looked like you. it almost made me want to go to champlain college over middlebury (well, for a second anyway). you would barely even know that we have french kids at our school because they're so ridiculously unapproachable. they're unapproachable to the point that one begins to forget they exist. this is my story of the day. and i very much like your story of the day. ::hugs::
