One time my girlfriend/boyfriend said...

[Gearmond]

example of said girl:

"i always thought birds mated like fish"

not even the other way around which would have made more sense.

[D.o.S.]

"i want you to watch 'Brokeback Mountain' with me...it's really romantic."

"if you ever get religion--like, start going to church or anything--we're through."

Sounds like a smart woman trying to get you to take her from behind.

I found a common theme in my own life--

"I think we need to talk."

wot, male birds ejaculate on the eggs after they're laid? they...fly...upstream? no, wait...

"if you ever get religion--like, start going to church or anything--we're through."

That's....entirely reasonable?

she's extremely naive and for all her world travelling she's horrifically sheltered and doesn't even know how to drive. which is another reason for diminished interest.

she said, you are hard to buy gifts for-- all you like are guitars and pussy--

not to the extent that somebody else is assuming control over your spiritual life, over an entire aspect of your existence. and she didn't just mean Getting Saved...she meant any kind of spiritual practice whatsoever. no meditation, no nothing; you were not going to have any force in your life that was superior to Miss Thang, you see? and this wasn't the current crazy ex, either. i sure can pick 'em.

Christ, what could be simpler, "i like beer and bacon"?

I KNOW A GIRL LIKE THIS SHE DRIVES ME FUCKING CRAZY. it's awful because she's such a nice girl and a total sweetheart but i can't handle that kind of creepy privileged MPDG type.

i could probably fill this thread with quotes from her if i didn't try to forget them as soon as they escaped her mouth. here's one of my favorites: "i love third world countries." because she's like been to vietnam and costa rica and everyone there seems so happy, duh.

I'm pretty sure if he fought you you'd just cry into your combination scarf-and-turtleneck and write mopey songs about the Midwest.

You don't even know how accurately you just described one of my bands.

dude, this qurl is TEXTBOOK manic pixie dream girl. down to the pink hair and textbook quirly old timey interests.

i've moved on from that stereotype and want someone as equally jaded as me.

Yeah, that's not cool. There's levels to the whole thing, and I was thinking full-on preachy conversion when I read the quote, but leaving someone for anything less than that is pretty harsh.

Now you've done it. You've gone and linked to TVTropes. That's my morning, wasted.
