Quotes edit
-
“"I don't even know why I keep going out with guys that I don't even like. It's like the laser bikini hair removal treatments I keep going to even though they're insanely expensive and don't seem to be working--they say you have to have five to seven sessions in order to see optimal results."”
Ruthie Clarke -
“"You’re all drunk and horny now and you think if you’re lucky you’ll get married but then guess what! Marriage is hard and sometimes everything you love about the other person isn’t enough to save it, but guess what else?! You still love the person even though you’d rather die than live in the same apartment with them for one more minute! You still love them in some new old battered and misshapen maybe better way."”
Kat Duffy -
“All I had to eat for the rest of the weekend was chardonnay and Goldfish Crackers (or as my mom used to call it, "dinner!").”
-
“I made a hair appointment and told my stylist to make me look so amazing that my ex-husband and his new fiancée will want to kill themselves as soon as they see me.”
-
“On a boyfriend scale of one to ten—one being Charlie Sheen, and ten being a human male that only exists in the minds of women—Matt was a solid eight-and-a-half, easily.”
-
“Having Jackie on my side during this vacation was a little like being a conservative politician and having a disastrous whack-job Hollywood starlet who was always in trouble with the law endorse your campaign. But I'll take what I can get.”
-
“"I’m not gonna lie and say nobody’s judging you. But screw' em. You feel what you feel and you do what you do and one day you’ll feel different and everything will be fine. Until then, everything will be wine."”
Jackie Duffy
