I deeply love music and I would only break up with someone who judged the music I listened to.

Kristen is me. I gently mock my mother for listening to Kenny G, but I would cut a bitch if anyone looked down their nose at her for doing so.

Aw. Doomsday cults are so endearing. If for now other reason than sooner or later one of them will be right. Or, at least, be the last one before humanity is wiped out, which will be as close to right as any of them will ever get.

And, you know, so often they are right about the end of the world, at least as far as they themselves are concerned.

It's hard to imagine my having a long-term relationship with someone who doesn't read. That's the sort of person who might think there is such a thing as Too Many Books. Of course, it's getting increasingly difficult for me to imagine having a relationship.

It's hard to break up with someone that actually wants to hear about your dissertation.

Truer words were never written.

just because it points (to me) to a general lack of interest in the world.

Yes this.

And the guy who broke up with me was a jerk, but the incompatibility of our reading was really a larger problem, because I feel that many many things that are entertaining are also enlightening. This is why, in fact, I started doing theater. And I feel like I get as much out of reading sense and sensibility as he did out of reading Marcus Aurelius, but now with added story! And people I like!. And while I was willing to try Marcus Aurelius (and in fact knew who he was before the BF told me) he was not willing to read Jane Austen. The more annoying thing was that when he liked to read fiction, or watch it, it was OK, and he liked some CRAP stuff (like Titanic-- which is no Dawson's Creek, you know ;). So really, the big issue was not books but that we were incompatible.

"Hah! The Four Horsemen are here! Hah!

In your face, Heaven's Gate! In your fucking FA--!!"

Sophia, you misspelled "he was a total douche".

I think I'd not date someone too into Palahniuk and Bukowski. And by "too" I mean quoting during dinner.

Oh, man. I can quote entire passages of Lullaby but if I don't do it during dinner, can we still date?

I couldn't date a vegan. I like to cook, and to cook for people, and I couldn't do that with a vegan. I don't think that I make very many vegan things, and don't bake anything vegan. I mean, in the beginning, it would probably be fun to find things, but then I'd start getting annoyed and making him order chinese or something.

it was hard living with someone who didn't eat onions. On the other hand I'd gladly live with a vegetarian if she didn't mind me eating the occasional restaurant steak.
