Get Away, Sluts

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

I am tired of sluts. No, not the Tiger-Woods-John-Edwards type of slut. I mean emotional sluts. The kind of people who share their most intimate secrets at the drop of a hat.

Why rail against them, you might ask? They harm no one. They’re entertaining. And they make us feel better about our own lives, right? Wrong. What they do is turn you into a slut, too.

Insanity

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

How often has this happened to you? Your phone rings at 11 PM, 3 AM or 6 AM (whatever constitutes the middle of the night for you) and it’s your friend, in the middle of a crisis. No, not an emergency, like a car accident –  – a crisis, like her boyfriend just broke up with her. Or maybe she just realized he’s probably been cheating on her. And she wants your advice.
