Hello everyone,
Sorry for posting again but I am trying to catch up on posts lol and this is kind of interesting. Was reading this little David Sedaris thing on The Guardian and found the last line particularly familiar... I have attached the link to the Sedaris piece as well as the link to Cat Person. Check it out. Thoughts welcome.

This is really interesting. I'm curious to know what your take on it was, compared to the cat person piece? I think in Cat Person the "whore" comes across as a bitingly cold, scary word. In this one, I'm not so sure. Somehow I can see it both ways — almost fondly, the way you would say it jokingly to a friend who's telling you about their last night out (haha) or almost as a resentful, still bitter feeling.
