Psst! Have you heard...?
I realized I was addicted to gossiping, so I quit. But after four months, my friends think I'm a narcissistic bore -- and all I want to do is dish some dirt.
By Lucy Silag [2007-09-03]

  • Wasn't this article originally posted in Young Miss magazine? In 1965?

    Name Withheld said:

    "Is it really any better to spend your time typing hateful things into a computer that you know the writer is going to read? At least Ms. Silag is trying to be honest with herself."

    Then she should keep it to herself. If I wanted to read self-referential drivel, there are countless blogs I could peruse. Ms. Silag has simultaneously expanded the circle of people who find her a narcissistic bore and cemented my decision to not renew my subscription to Salon Premium.

    Salon needs tougher editors. This piece was serious bullshit.
