Public Decorum
A few weeks ago, I was walking behind a couple of white girls up to the library. They were apparently discussing a friend of theirs, and one girl said, "I'm not saying she's a gold-digger, but she ain't messing with no broke..."
At this point she became aware I was behind her, and looked horrified before finishing lamely with, "...people."
(For those of you unfamiliar with the work of one Kanye West, think about words that rhyme with "digger" to figure out what the last word should have been.)

My 17-year-old boyfriend was at work again today, and followed me around the whole time. I didn't mind that so much until I was trying to check my e-mail and he sat right next to me to see what I was doing.
Oh, well. I'm not supposed to be using the computer for personal reasons anyway...

Please keep in mind: how you treat him will influence his relationships with women for forever and ever, amen.
