Expensive Friends, Part II

by 13 Comments

Thank you all for the overwhelming love the last time I talked about my expensive friend. I’m taking your advice and cutting ties. I thought you, my expensive friend, were just unaware of what our relationship has become. I assumed it wasn’t intentional. Now you’re just pissing me off. Last night was the first time [...]
