The NEWS

Do you have a friend or two who have to be the first to tell you THE NEWS?

Yeah - that's always great.  I know when I turn my cellphone on after a long day at school and there's a voicemail that I'm in for a treat.  The message usually goes like this;

"OH MY GAWD... DID YOU HEAR?"  because yes - it's always THAT important.  "SO and SO is getting a divorce".  And let me tell you, the other person always feels so bad.  "I FEEL so BAD."  This person is emphatic.  "WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO?"

"I JUST THOUGHT YOU'D WANT TO KNOW."

Yes - they always talk in caps lock.
This friend is always the one who has to call you and tell you someone has died.

Thanks for the info!
