Actually, I think you have to know that whatever advice you give, they may not take it. The priority should be on keeping the friendship rather than giving the best advice. Your best advice is usually, 'Walk away from him! Tell him you never want to see him again!' But if you are dealing with someone still in love, nothing you say can change their feelings. All you can do is be there for them and pick them up every time they get hurt. Until, that is, they are ready to move on for themselves.

I think you really have to tap into your sense of humor in order to survive.

Love always ends differently and it always begins differently - especially with me.

Darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream.

I go to Wal-Mart all the time. The one in my hometown of Hendersonville, Tenn., is open 24 hours, so I go there a lot to buy DVDs and stuff like that.

I know what it's like to pine away for that summer romance you just can't get back.

It’s okay to wonder how you could try so hard and still get stomped all over. Just don’t let them change you.
