A note pertaining to the Cambridge geeks:

nothing personal, but I'm electing to withdraw from the great society of cambridge geeks and their exes, at least for a while. Accordingly, I've unsubscribed from all but a few such persons (those I met independently on DW who turn TURNED OUT to be w/in six degrees in the cambridge geekosphere).

Not personal to any of you in particular. A *normal* person would've done this as a strategy to facilitate getting over Dr J; I am not a normal person, but I find that, having reached a state that can be described as 'over' him, I've along the way shed the great desire to BELONG TO THIS CLUB. Given that that perspective was leading me to view y'all through peculiarly fairy-dust lenses, imma gonna take some large steps back. Esp from Dr J's relatives, lovely though you all have been to me.

Should I run into you in person for IRL reasons however I shall be pleased to see you.

That makes a lot of emotional sense; I'm a bit sad about it, of course, but I definitely see that it's the right decision for you. (I completely failed to withdraw from the society of Cambridge geeks in when it probably would have been the sensible thing over a decade ago, and, well, now most of my relationship structure and most of my social life are connected one way or another. So it's especially sad for me to think that so much of my life is associated with your ex whom you're over.) Anyway, I wish you every success and happiness, and I hope our paths do cross again at some point.

Fair enough. All the best, and all that.
