Welcome to Long Time Caller, First Time Listener, a column where we, Trixie and Katya, give you, the reader, advice. Our answers may not be valuable, but they will definitely be irrelevant. Want your question answered by us? Email goopedsubstack@gmail.com. Please include a name/pseudonym and your pronouns! And while you’re here, don’t you wanna subscribe?
Not only are Trixie & Katya both named Brian, they both have older brothers named Dan. That would seem like a crazy coincidence until you remember that ya'll are 80's babies and there were only about 5 names used in rotation that decade. Anyways, excellent advice as always!
Absolutely agree on the job thing. So glad you both gave that wise and level headed opinion. What if she quits and then finds out she isn't as passionate about writing as she thought she was? Then what? The biggest achievement in life is to find a job we can tolerate. And if you find a job you can tolerate AND it pays well you're a real winner. I hate all jobs I'm genuinely struggling hard with that. I'm only good at studying.
My name is very common here (there was a year there was 4 of us with the same name in the same class), and I wouldn't date someone with the same name as mine, but to me it's such a turn off that I've never crushed on someone with my name... Wait, no, there was one, but I was crushing before I knew her name, so it doesn't count.
Anyway I love how none of the questions have really been answered this week, it's a skill at this point.

I used to be part of a party circuit and there were 3 “Jennifer’s” and we’d hang out like Heathers
