the doctor is in

One of my favorite things to do is to pass my wisdom on to those who are in desperate need of it (or, stick my nose in other people's business and give them advice that they don't listen to and always turns out to be right, whichever way you prefer to read that).

But seriously, I love it when people ask for my advice.  Particularly on relationships.  I know, you're thinking 'but Jessie, you've been single forever.  You don't have any first hand knowledge of what relationships are like past approximately two dates.  When you try to date it turns into a disaster worthy of Jerry Springer!  What are you even talking about?!?!'  And you're right, but you know what they say - those that can't do, teach.  Plus, have I mentioned that I'm always right (just so long as it has to do with other people)?


Anyway, that's not really the point of this post.  The real point is, I have a couple friends who are always having issues of some kind as far as relationships go.  They call me, we talk it through, I dispense my sage wisdom, they do the opposite of what I suggest and then later tell me they should have listened to me in the first place (one of my other favorite things is to be told that I'm right - clearly).  It's a sure thing that at least one of them will always have a tricky situation with a member of the opposite sex.  Well, both of these friends are going to be out of the country for the ENTIRE month of February and it's freaking me out.  Who will come to me for advice that I just sort of make up as I go along?  Who will be around to tell me I'm right and the things I say make sense?  I'm at a loss, staring down the barrel of a long, advice-free February, and it's very sad.  What am I supposed to do with myself?


I think I'm taking it pretty well, don't you?  :)
