A very Jeffrey Campbell Christmas this year :)

The letter inside reads:

Hello. This note is going to seem very strange, and I have serious reservations about even writing it, but the circumstances are unusual, so I’ll take a chance. I was on a walk tonight and I noticed that your car has Colorado plates. I met a girl several weeks ago (maybe 3), who was from Colorado, but I haven’t run into her since. By chance, are you Julie who went to Creighton and is a pre-vet student at the University? If so, I met you in the computer lab on the last day of summer session. You seemed like a very down-to-earth person and I hoped that we might meet again. I completely chickened out instead of giving you my phone number or asking you out. All I remember is bumping into you in the lab — I said “What are you working on”… I had been there for hours typing a paper… you turned your computer monitor towards me and said, “Well, I just bought these Jeffrey Campbell Shoes online… study break!” I like your smile, and your taste in shoes. So I’m going on a limb here by leaving a note. Trust me when I say that this is *EXTREMELY* out of character for me. I hope I haven’t made you uncomfortable in any way. You made an impression on me and I’d kick myself for passing up a second opportunity to give you my #. Please don’t take this as some kind of crazy stalker note. Maybe I’ll hear from you, though I’d be very surprised given how weird this seems. Take care.
