words to live by

Hooking up with old boyfriends is rarely a good idea, especially if you run into the old boyfriend at an afternoon Christmas party where he has been slamming heavily spiked eggnog.

I learned today that drunk, 36 year old frustrated novelists -- no matter how good looking -- are far less fun than one might imagine. In fact, they tend to be a little bitter and clingy.

So keep that in mind should you have a similar experience this holiday season. Just turn and walk away and pretend you didn't see the other person before it's too late.
