I mean, I couldn't even light the thing on the first try...

Anyway, I haven't seen her since last Saturday, and I'm tactfully trying to sever ties with her. My bank account takes a beating whenever she is around. At the same time, now I'm stuck with almost a whole pack of unused cigs that I have no desire to use at the moment.
