Avoid Sarcasm. Altogether.

[rm]

The above mantra in this artcile (which is actually interestng and important) is making me howl with inappropriate laughter. Like in a bad crack!fic sort of way. I think the dust from this moving thing is getting to me.

Also the girl? Truly fancies the sarcasm. But perhaps that's why she's not a boy.

In truth, I have long and artful things to say about this piece, but that's for another time. I'm a bit exhausted right now and the reliaities it's presenting are pissing me off.

Hunh, the article makes it seem like I've totally lucked out, which I feel like I have, but not for the reasons set forth in the article. I feel like I've lucked out because I've met someone with whom I have an insane amount in common---including not only similar politics and outlooks on life, but also very specific interests. But the article makes it seem like I've lucked out by finding a boy (not that I was looking for one, mind you) who can "tolerate" that I make more than him, have a successful career teaching (well for the time being) at a top school, pay for stuff more often than he, barely communicate in anything other than sarcasm, would never consider adopting someone else's surname, and spend both my free time and my work time worrying about the Supreme Court.

That said, I actually have no idea if that's what it's "really like out there". I've always made my own niche, datingwise and socialwise, so I never find out about these things through experience. Is this what's up with all those people I avoid? Hunh.
