I went nuclear. While I don't agree with calling anyone names, by his own logic he'd been a "slut" as well.</p> Catherine Townsend Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/catherine-townsend/catherine-townsend-sleeping-around-859028.html http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/catherine-townsend/catherine-townsend-sleeping-around-859028.html <p>A friend recently suggested that I try Cosmic Ordering, which involves writing down your wishes on a piece of paper and waiting for the cosmos to come through.</p> Catherine Townsend Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:00:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/catherine-townsend/a-hrefhttpindyblogstypepadcomindependentsleepingaroundindexhtml-targetblanksleeping-around-are-women-still-afraid-to-report-rapea-843838.html http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/catherine-townsend/a-hrefhttpindyblogstypepadcomindependentsleepingaroundindexhtml-targetblanksleeping-around-are-women-still-afraid-to-report-rapea-843838.html Catherine Townsend Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:02:46 +0100 http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/catherine-townsend/catherine-townsend-sleeping-around-854194.html http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/catherine-townsend/catherine-townsend-sleeping-around-854194.html <p>This week, I had my first full-blown anxiety attack, while naked. It happened when I was sleeping next to Charles, a British architect who I've been friendly with for almost a year. He's recently moved back to London, and we've started seeing each other. </p> Catherine Townsend Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:00:01 +0100
