Dear Manda,

Well, as you predicted, the inevitaable has happened. The guy I like (d, emphasis on LIKED) has again become the top of the list of the World's Biggest Assholes.

How, you ask? Oh, nothing really. Just lying and saying he was falling in love with me, telling me he liked me and missed me, spending tons of time with me, and then turning around and for no reason deciding not to see me anymore.

And not only this, he told my friends I was getting too "posessive." This is from a guy who freaks out when I play cards with his frat bros. Hello, my name is INSECURE.

Also MENTALLY UNSTABLE and STUPID AS HELL, but we won't get into that. Basically, I am wondering what's stopping me from keying the hell out of his car?

With Rage,

Violent Vera

Dear Violent Vera,

Obviously the Manda sympathizes with your pain as she, too, is a violent and angry woman, ready to remove the genitalia of all males who dare to upset her beautiful equilibrium of life.

However, we must not do crazy things that could get us arrested for vandalism. I suggest more private, at-home acts of insanity, such as cutting his T-shirts into little pieces, setting his visor on fire, or ripping up every single picture of him that ever soiled your photo album or sorority house walls. I mean, in theory that's what one would do.

Some less psycho colleagues of mine have suggested tactics such as talking to him, going over to his place and returning his articles of clothing, or forgetting about the whole thing all together. If you have the ability to put three months of someone behind you without retaliation, more power to ya.

If, perchance, you choose to rip the beating heart directly out of Dustin's chest to show him how black it is before he dies, I'll back you up on that one too. My advice? Show no weakness.

Rage on, my friend, rage on--

Manda
