Kim Jong Eun And Dennis Rodman, Best Friends Forever

Some revelations defy introduction or context:

In a bizarre interview with ABC News, the one American who has spent significant time with North Koran leader Kim Jong Eun — former NBA star Dennis Rodman — said Sunday that he considers the human rights violator his “friend.”

“He’s a good guy to me. He’s my friend,” Rodman said. “I don’t condone what he does, but as a person to person, he’s my friend.”

Congratulations. You are a true Woman of Merit and Courage. You have passed through the Fires of Understanding; you have hewn your way through the Elaborate Hedge Maze of Adversity. You have truly proven yourself to be an Exemplary Member of your sex. We commend you for your bravery, your fortitude, and your ability to just be chill and not make a big deal out of things, you know? You’re just laid back. Which we on the Gender Committee really appreciate.

You have undergone many trials in the last year, and lost many friends. They were lesser beings. They perished, and rightly so, as they could not hang with us. You, however – you are capable of hanging, and as a reward for your efforts you shall be granted the highest prize available to a woman of your caliber.

Your prize is Hanging Out With Dudes. More »

What Do You Do If A Friend’s Significant Other Is Ruining His Or Her Life?

Someone recently asked me what, if anything, he could do to alert his friend to the fact that his girlfriend was, as they say, “ruining his life.” I think this is a valid topic of conversation, so I’m going to try to answer it in a more general way, as I think many people have been in this situation before.

The two of us met around 6.5 years ago a few weeks after graduating from college. We worked side-by-side at our first job. We became friends and work buddies, venting about our jobs, applauding each other in our individual successes, gossiping about the guys we were dating, supporting each other during heartbreak and personal challenges and brainstorming really awesome ideas that would allow us to work for ourselves in the future.

I think knowing how to say “no” is an imperative part of being a grown woman. Just as important is knowing when you’re exhausted and, more or less, telling someone “Bitch, you gotta go”. Which is what I did. And goddamn, if it wasn’t the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. More »
