Editor's note
When our staff turned in their final drafts for us to edit this week, it occurred to me that they may have been mocking me and my pathetic excuse for a life as of late.
First off, I'm broke. I can't afford half of the things I buy and I'm sure my parents can't tolerate half the things I buy on the "emergency" credit card they've entrusted me with. I'm
fairly certain that'll make great dinner conversation this coming Thanksgiving (To be fair, at the time I ran up the tab at Louise's last week, it felt like an emergency.)
So you may understand why I suspected foul play from the staff when I read Kelsie Smith's article (page 6) about frivolously pissing away all your money at fastfood and coffee joints. I do that all the time, but hey, it could just be coincidence.
Then I read James Foley's article (page 8) about insomnia. C'mon. He probably had no way of knowing, but I doubt I've had a full night of sleep in the past six weeks. I don't know why it's happening. But what I do know is that I've seriously considered ordering the Magic Bullet blender more than once recently while watching late-night TV. But surely my writers aren't in cahoots, right? They just happened to write stories in the same week that high-lighted crappy things that I just happened to be going through at the same time. Nothing to worry about.
But then came the kicker. When I read Katie Moyer's article and survey (page 10) about bringing your sweetie home for the holiday, I knew something had to be up. This is gonna be the first holiday season since the Clinton administration that I won't have a girlfriend. Even worse, this was gonna be first season that I actually brought one home. (Insert sympathy for me here.)
This was too much. I asked the staff if they were conspiring against me, but they denied it furiously. Turns out I'm just a broke-ass, sleep-deprived, broken-hearted loser and that writing articles about people like me makes for a good magazine.
Enjoy exploiting my misfortunes.
