Wow, way to go Re! She answered my longstanding Ben Folds question (see below) very succinctly and even points me towards further support for my theory. The sickness in the following weeks would most likely be a sort of post-mortem depression, and the narrator would be the only person in the position to tell the truth about what happened and get help for his girl. But, her depression is drowning him as well, and their both going under without anyone else around to notice.

I find this rather patronizing….
“Long paragraphs are easier to read online with occasional line breaks. Your opinion will be enhanced by pressing “Enter” twice after every third or fourth sentence. “
That was encountered as Epinions comment on my sparkling pj harvey review. While one can occasionally get lost in thick paragraphs of prose, i shudder to think that the rules for web-authoring include the phrase “Press enter twice after every third or fourth sentence.” >sigh

Says SparkMatch: “You are a Dependent Good Sex Provider. Tender and eager to please crotches. Like the zit-faced high school kid that plays with himself on the bus, you’re not really a Bad person, you just need a girlfriend. If you have one, great–because you tend to be successful in relationships–if you’re single, then try getting your hand out of your pants. “

I find eCrush cute but potentially entangling. It has a system (also in use at theSpark) where you enter your crush’s email, and they receive a note telling them someone has a crush on them. They can ignore it, or go to the site and enter their own crushes, thus dragging in more and more helpless users.
Of course, their system could always be abused to hunt down one’s secret crush so you can tease them mercilessly. Let’s say i recieve a crush note from the site, and it was sent because Girl#1 has a crush on me. I’m not entirely sure who has a crush on me, so i enter in the email address of everyone i know, hoping that i find out it’s someone hot. Instead, i find out Girl#1, who is rather fugly. I wait a day to let all the crush-notices generated by my entries go out (in case i find someone else who likes me), and then I send all my other friend’s an apology, saying i was hunting down my secret crush and had to enter them all in. Ta-Da! And easy and effective way to find out just who digs you without any commitment!

I just totally pillaged the Famous Fonts site for all the fonts i ever really wanted. If you’re looking for a little variety, or just a familiar (font)face, go download some favourites.
