A lot of people think that if they could mix and match characteristics and traits from all of their previous relationships, just cherry pick their favorite things about each person that they’ve been with, that they could create the ideal mate. She would have this one’s sense of humor, and that one’s body, and this one’s face, and that one’s career, and this one’s fashion sense, and that one’s parents, and this one’s apartment, and that one’s political views, and on and on until I had the girl of my dreams. But there are two problems with this plan, in addition to the fact that the technology just isn’t there (yet) to make it realistic. First of all, it overlooks the excitement and unpredictability of meeting someone wholly new and learning about them. And second of all, what if it turns out that there’s something you’d really be into that you didn’t even know was an option? Like maybe it turns out you’re really into middle-aged women who spin around in circles with a video camera and recite horrible, awful poetry about dancing naked in the rain?
Prepare to fall in love.

what makes me smile about all of this is the fact that i know-after finishing she went inside and uploaded it to her computer. because nothing says 'at one with nature' like modern technology.
These are the kind of women I encounter all the fucking time. It drives me nuts. they can dance in the rain and they can twirl around and sing with a hula hoop but they can't pay their rent on time or afford to pay for their own grass.
Fuck off.
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Thank you.
