Amanda-
Figured I'd take a stab at this via email. Honestly, with the whole 'Doc Mactaggart's dress' thing, part of it was me being a bit over-embarassed for effect, although looking at the picture of your doctor (and one of your teacher's girlfriends) and having the reaction "Hel-LO, cleavage!" can be a little throwing. At least when you're me. And yeah, a little bit of the wiggins has to do with Marie, although I have a lot more faith in Nathan's ability to handle things well rather than make threats. I mean, hell, I could practically tell he was laughing his ass off from the comments he made.
But anyways, the point of this email is this. I do NOT blame you. Never have, never will. Like I told you, I blame Kwannon. (And I didn't want to put this in comments because I know Ms. Braddock is still having kind of a hard time with that whole mess) And nobody in their right mind could possibly blame you for Marie going to Canada. But I think you do, and I'm not really sure why. Em had her reasons for going, some of which had to do with Logan, and she _will_ come back. So you shouldn't blame yourself or feel like you caused her to leave.
Honestly, I was fine (if a touch embarassed over my reaction to Doc Mactaggart's dress) until you went back on the blaming yourself kick. Now I'm worried about you. :-/
Anyways, hope the British Isles are as lovely as they were when I got to go, hope Manuel is doing well, and hope whatever he claims as forfeit for drinking you under the table isn't _too_ bad. ;-)
