Yup.. her locker was right next to mine, although I only saw her about 2 times a week. She was ALWAYS at the gym.

Speaking of jealous. When I was in Chicago I got a picture with Coby Jones. I saw him in Virgin Records. I think Deuce said you're a big fan.... not sure anymore. I'm so lame, I had to call Deuce and let him know about the run-in since he's the only one, whose cell number I have, that would appreciate it.
