It's a philosophy that has kept me sane for as long as I can remember and helped me survive the weirdest summer of my life. On the flip side, it's very entertaining what love will make people do. It's a great way to spend your lunch break. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Sitting on my car hood, sucking down a Big Gulp, I watched the pinnacle of love unfold before my eyes. My best friend, Mia, and her on-again off-again boyfriend, Dougie, squared-off like prize fighters in the middle of the outlet center parking lot. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This week's drama included props. Dougie pivoted along the concrete, ducking and avoiding death by the finest designer handbag money could buy. Through the litany of screams, cusses, and purse swinging, I figured Mia had caught Dougie hanging out with another girl. Mia could be a little high-strung sometimes, but when it came to her man, she advanced to straight head case. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e That jealous insanity went both ways, depending on the day, and much amusement awaited all who watched. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"God, you're such a liar  How could you do this to me?\" she raved. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Chill, baby  She was my cousin \" Dougie escaped the oncoming blow from Mia's handbag by an inch. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"You lying piece of crap  I've met all of your relatives, Douglas. She never came to your house before.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dougie ran in circles around her, the blood rush turning his face beet red. \"She just came into town  I swear, baby.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Why didn't you introduce me, huh?\" Mia wiped her sweaty brown hair from her forehead. \"What, are you ashamed of me?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e He paused, clearly hurt at the suggestion. \"No  Why would you say that?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Liar \" Her purse swung at his head, but missed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dougie grabbed one of the straps, and the two began a full tug-of-war in the middle of the parking lot. Weekend shoppers watched in horror, covering the ears of their children from the curses flying in the air.

The air-conditioning slapped me in the face and pushed the June heat back outside. Mellow jazz rang through the speakers in a chronic loop from the satellite radio. Tourists and townies overran the floor in a slow, indecisive dance around the bookshelves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e I strolled through the main aisles, past the kiosk of new releases and bestsellers toward the customer service desk in the center of the store.
