We were having dinner for girls night out at a great Korean Tofu House. So during our 2 hour conversation, we were talking about Vicki’s career as a social worker.
Vanae: Vicki, if you become a psychiatrist, you can write prescriptions!
Dana: No, no! You don’t want to work with people are bi-polar or those ciscos!
Vanae: Uh…you mean schizos?
Dana: (silence)
The things that Dana says….
Haven’t documented one of those in a long time!
Hey V’stars!
In the last 2 weeks, you’ve been requesting this topic: ‘Should I go for my friend’s ex?’. This is very tricky area! Personally, I don’t believe in sloppy seconds and plus my girlfriends and I have very different taste in men. Hence, I will never venture into jeopardizing my friendship with any of my girlfriends. Love interests are a dime in a dozen!
You wouldn’t want to jeopardize your friendship. Let me tell yah…most people you are/will be interested in are not worth messing up your friendship… UNLESS you truly believe he/she is really THE ONE.
Here’s what you do:
1. Weigh out the consequences. How close are you with that friend? Is it worth it? If so…
2. Out of respect: Talk to your friend about how she/he feels about you dating their ex
3. Once you get ‘approval’, then go for it!
4. Keep in mind, that even if your friend gives the green light, that doesn’t mean your interest will reciprocate the feelings
What do you think? Have you dated a friend’s ex?
Vanae’s tip of the dae: Friendships (especially close friendships), lasts a lot longer than love interests! So give it much thought and consideration and be sure to talk to your friend before charting in nasty territory!
over the weekend, i was having dinner with a group of friends including my best friend, dana. being at a restaurant, it was natural to have a conversation about dietary restrictions and being a vegetarian.
dana said “oh no, i’m a total cannibal. i need meat”.
5 seconds later she realized that she’s a doof, because she meant to say ‘carnivore’. instead, she said ‘cannibal’, as in the people-eating people.
what’s the latest funny thing that your friends said?
happy labor day weekend!
we met an interesting stripper lady at the hustlers club in sf, during this great bachelorette weekend. she shared how different the strip clubs are compared to where she’s from. we asked and she told us that she’s from el salvador.
dana looked at me and asked “is that in texas?”
oh lord. i’m adding this to the ‘things that dana says….”
this is a collection of quotes from my best friend, dana. enjoy!
6.26.07- we were hanging out after a thai dinner talking about the tragedy at six flags in louisville, kentucky. on a treacherous ride, a cable snapped and whipped around up towards the people on the ride, very high above the ground. the free cable whipped against a young girl and sliced off her two legs above the ankle. fortunately, the ride came to a stop and come back down. we were all in shocked of this story and dana asked “was she standing on the ground?” i replied “dana! she has no legs!!”
2006- at a wine party, our friend, anthony bought a bottle of greek wine, which wasn’t very popular with the wine guests. dana tried to cap on anthony saying “dood, no one drank your greek wine! why would you trust people who built the pyramids”
