Today a woman on the dating site FastCupid.com "winked" at me. A "wink" is a wordless overture from a member who is interested in you but too cheap to spend a buck or two that it costs to send an email message. Her user name is "babylambtbone."
This is how she filled out the last three sections of her profile:
Five items I can't live without
coffee, naps with my cat, something to read, positive reinforcement, chocolate raspberry rolled scones from the read
In my bedroom one will find...
me and my cat taking a nap or reading a book or the newspaper the cat doesnt really read tho
Why You Should Get to Know Me
i like real dates im old fashioned but i like loud music and im pretty noisy sometimes i love my cat i like quiet too sometimes i dont really take myself very seriously i like to take naps and stay up late
This woman is 43 years old, can neither spell nor punctuate, and from this evidence -- "i like loud music and im pretty noisy" -- has the sing-song syntax, unmediated mind and cultural predilections of a IM-mad ten-year-old. She describes her occupation as “yoga teacher/waiter” and spends far too much time in bed with her cat. She's the Collyer Brothers’ younger sister.
And it's a good thing that the cat can't read. He'd be appalled.
