Unsolicited and unprofessional advice from E

Have your best friend be a practicing clinical psychologist. Oh yeah, you get great advice from a friend who knows all those intimate details of your life and has actual first hand knowledge of some of your lowest lows! No need to spend two or three sessions and hundreds of dollars explaining just what an ass your ex(es) was(were), because she too spent countless hours with him! No need to spend painful hours describing how mean your parents really were when you were a teen (because they didn’t buy you that Benetton rugby you begged for even though it cost the same amount as the monthly food budget) because she’s met them! You can sit, lie down, stand, be on the phone, in her house, your house, correspond via e-mail, eating, starving, be drinking, drunk, and at any time of the day pretty much. She knows all, has experienced most of it with you and the best part is that the advice she gives is professional and licensed by the state of Pennsylvania!

And yes, I know JUST how lucky I am.
