"Hey, girls! Remember when you were in elementary school and there was a sub? You always saw that as a chance to talk and gossip and act a little crazy, and then the sub would get annoyed and you&amp;#x27;d get in trouble, right? Well, having a sub on Smitten is, oh, just a tad bit different&amp;amp;#133; This sub encourages talking and gossiping and acting a littletotally crazy. I want to know everything so don&amp;amp;#8217;t hold back. I&amp;amp;#8217;ll go first... You heard how Joanna met Alex, and here&amp;#x27;s the story of how I met Jeff: When I first moved to NYC, I lived with a girl whose boyfriend was extremely cool. Matt was hilarious and fun, and he became one of my first friends here. Whenever I&amp;amp;#8217;d rave about him to my friends and family, they&amp;amp;#8217;d warn me not to &amp;amp;#8220;go there,&amp;amp;#8221; but it was never like that. (Honest.) Anyway, eventually I moved out, and eventually Matt and my ex-roommate broke up because he was moving to Colorado&amp;amp;#8212;but Matt and I kept in touch. And one night about a year later when he was in town visiting, he called and said, &amp;amp;#8220;Guess what: I&amp;amp;#8217;m moving back to New York, and I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to live with a former coworker. We just signed our lease, and we&amp;amp;#8217;re out celebrating. Meet us uptown for a drink!&amp;amp;#8221; And I did. And Matt&amp;amp;#8217;s former coworker and new roommate&amp;amp;#133; was Jeff. ~The end~ What about you? Are you dating anyone? How did you meet? I was always terrified of blind dates, so I&amp;#x27;m really relieved that Jeff and I met through a mutual friend instead. But I&amp;#x27;ve heard so many blind-date success stories. Do you think they work? Fill me in!P.S. Joanna, thanks so much for the intro! I&amp;amp;#8217;m very excited to be here while you&amp;amp;#8217;re away, but we&amp;amp;#8217;ll miss you. Bring back some Sunshine State rays!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
