Friends of Friends Who Want to be Friends.

Eventually in your life you will stumble upon some one like this. You share a mutual pal and some random occurrence, or glitch in the Matrix, you end up sleeping in the same bed a slumber party, or for my more masculine readers, tappin' da same bitch. Or something. I dunno.

At first you just nice to them, you pitied them, knowing their social life was less then adequate. You share a few texts back and forth and think nothing of it.

But soon, SOON, your inbox is flooded with text after text. Restricted calls in the middle of the night.You become desperate to avoid this person. You ignore them, but soon your life is nothing more than an anxious pit of despair, darkness, a nagging irritability that you can't escape. Perhaps you even become aggressive, lashing out at this person. At your real friends.

I'm sure you all know the type. Leechy, irritating, exasperating, obnoxious, this and much more. They text you at all hours. If you don't reply, they send another message, as if you didn't get it. No, no I got it, I just chose to ignore it because you make me want to strangle myself. You avoid them in the halls, they find out your schedule, they switch into your classes.

Today's Tip: It's hard to come back to a satiric style after more than a week of not posting.
