			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/19/hide.jpg?w=276&#038;h=276" alt="woman hiding" align="left" height="276" width="276" />After-hook-up relations are not always easy.</p>
<p>Seeing someone you made out or slept with a few days after the fact can be weird, uncomfortable, and even painful. It can also be awkward with a capital <em>A</em>.</p>
<p>If the experience was extremely unmemorable (or horrible…because that <s>sometimes</s> usually happens), we may even resort to running and hiding behind trees whenever we spy a recent bedfellow (not that <em>I</em> ever did that.  <em>I</em> preferred to hide behind bushes.  More coverage.).</p>
<p>On small college campuses, avoiding people can become difficult, and many of us probably wish at the very least that we could relate to our <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17540879/" target="_blank">hook-ups </a>the way we did before everything went down.</p>
<p>Well, we can!</p>
<p>A few years ago, after hooking-up with and subsequently getting seriously pissed off at a guy when I realized he had a girlfriend, I thought our friendship was over.  But I still had to see him <em>every day</em>.  So what was I going to do?<span id="more-5341"></span></p>
<p>Be angry at him and laugh to myself with evil glee every time he asked a stupid question in class?  For a little while, sure.</p>
<p>But after a few months went by and I didn’t feel like being mad anymore (because honestly, being angry <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/tensiontamers/f/calm_down.htm" target="_blank">takes work</a>) I realized that as soon as I started acting normal around him, our relationship went back to how it was before; he was kind of dumb yet lovable, we hung out at parties, and then went our separate ways.</p>
<p>Now, if someone hurts you big time, it may not be advisable to be friendly with them again, but if there’s nothing between you and a hook-up besides some awkward air, acting like your relationship is back to normal can often make it so.</p>
<p>Showing your hook-up that you don’t feel strange (even if you do), will signal that they can feel comfortable too, allowing each of you to chalk what happened up to a random night and one too many trips to the keg.</p>
<p>…and if they refuse to make things easier?  Just scream “y<em>ou weren’t that good anyway!</em>” at the top of your lungs in a crowded room.</p>
<p>After that, the chances of you two meeting again is pretty slim.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/11/book.jpg?w=205&#038;h=317" alt="how to spot a bastard by his star sign" align="left" height="317" width="205" />“<em>Hey baby, what’s your sign</em>?”</p>
<p>I’ve never had to deal with that line in a bar, but I <em>have</em> had a guy try to deconstruct me on a first date based on my birthday.  He thought he was being cute.  I thought he’d be cuter with a bag over his head.</p>
<p>Lame, unfunny idiot using it as a come on or not, there’s definitely something to <a href="http://www.astrology.com">Astrology</a>.  Defining people by a little symbol and its characteristics are fun—especially if you get to define them in the bitchiest way possible.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Spot-Bastard-Star-Sign/dp/0312284861/ref=si3_rdr_bb_product/002-1497722-0624048">How to Spot a Bastard by His Star Sign</a> makes no qualms about the fact that it’s a book based on the idea that all men are bastards—be they crab, bull, or scorpion.</p>
<p>“<em>Why is Capricorn so boring</em>?” it asks on the title page.  “<em>What makes Libra think he’s so perfect?  And who on earth would want to mate with an Aires</em>?”</p>
<p>“<em>Fire Sign Bastards are always better than you and will never hesitate to tell you so</em>,” starts the first chapter of this little retro bamphlet (book/pamphlet).  “<em>They’ll then hammer the fact home by telling you again—just incase you didn’t hear them the first time</em>.”<span id="more-5205"></span></p>
<p>Tongue-and-cheek with a layer of so-sad-it’s-funny reality, this newest addition to your coffee table have you laughing from the beginning—just don’t let your boyfriend catch you reading it.</p>
<p>…or do, espescially if you feel like it&#8217;s time to break up.</p>
