My impression of Pam Anderson is that she is actually an intelligent, thoughtful, kind person who, despite being conventionally beautiful and gaining a lot of attention from that, suffers from poor self-esteem. Accordingly, she has a long history of making poor decisions. Predictably, most of these decisions involve…

I have two, and I can't decide which is worse.

This is a story of how one of the worst days of my life ended up reaffirming my faith in strangers and in the human race in general.

When I was trying to recover from him, a friend sent me this poem.

I had no choice, really. I was in school in northern MI, he was downstate, and I was flying home for the holidays. It was FAR cheaper to fly out of Detroit than the tiny local airport. I'd already booked my flights and stuff. I didn't have enough money to stay in a hotel, plus he was driving me to the airport.…

trying to justify a "friend's" behavior, are we?

If you are picking up women at a playground, probably best to ask their age.

Oh man, this sounds familiar. Except we never actually dated. We met at work, we were friends, we had this intense emotional connection, we entered into this limbo of do we/don't we of flirting and confessing and pining. Then he finally told me he had feelings for me and also said some truly shitty things to me about…

The relationships where they were never officially yours but there was still achingly beautiful emotion and something both more and less than romance are possibly the most devastating kind of connection humanity could come up with.

This is why, when someone (man or woman) now brags to me that they "have" someone who is clearly more into them then they are... that I tell them to break it off immediately or reevaluate because dragging someone through purgatory is a special sort of torture for that person. People aren't fucking status symbols or…

Well. I'm in the middle of this.

Kids these days. Negging earlier and earlier.

Gaaah I've been there. It sucks! Months and months later and we're still like, uh, why though? That was me until a few months ago when time just helped me let go of it. But there were days (pretty much most of them) when I would think about this guy literally the minute I opened my eyes in the morning, and just…

Okay, I don't know what's in those videos, but they sound like SHIT. There are no such mistakes. Getting closer to someone means EXPOSING yourself. The other person CAN'T accept you if they don't know who you are and what you're about. My husband and I broke every single "rule". We met on the casual encounters…

No problem, dude. ;)

YES. I can handle anything when I know "why". It's the not knowing WHY your heart is in burning pieces around you and the other person is just looking at you like you're some strange other species or, perhaps, an odd lamp.

My boyfriend of almost 9 years broke up with me last month, and a week ago my cat suddenly died right in front of me. Everything is super awesomeeeee. :-|

Oh good, I'm not the only one. There was a relationship that wasn't a relationship a while back that ended, after explosive arguments and oceans of tears, rather quietly. For months after I just kept asking myself a thousand different questions that all started with why. Why did you say one thing and do another? Why…

Save yourself the therapy and just watch "He's just not that into you". If a dude likes you, he won't be able to get enough of you for a good long time. Obviously the honeymoon phase wears off eventually, but not in a course of weeks.

If he seems hot and then cold like an apartment building shower, you need to run and…

if by "therapy" you mean "still chainsmoking and annoying the shit out of all of my friends everytime I get drunk 6 months later", I'm doing great at "therapy"!
