A Girl You Should Date ( Between Fantasy and Reality )
This note migrated from my FB to here,
Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. ( seriously all girls did is FB, selfie, wefie and whatever -fie )
If you take a peek at her mug , the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already.( forget doing that, they will look at u like a mental patient )
Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book. ( i did that and i got an instant glare and blank expression - i felt guilty and stupid at the same time )
anyway based from years of my research ( yes and it's qualitative based yea )
- if the book is Harry Potter ( she is a kid in her heart, probably cries when the book ends. )
- Murakami ( an idealistic, foamy, wanderer kind of shit )
- Catcher in the rye ( soft spot for whiny fuckers )
- Promedya Ananta Toer ( a revolutionist, radical giler - but stuck in an office job )
- Eckhart Tolle or other related religious books ( mid life crisis, identity crisis, divorced )
- Twilight ( oh man.....)
Buy her another cup of coffee. - Starbucks is not cheap and doesnt taste good, try Mcdonalds, free refill.
Let her know what you really think of Murakami. ( Murakami is over-rated seriously, what about Marjorie Satrapi instead )
See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. ( cute geek chicks?....forget it...bet she looks like Gandalf or a Bilbo or worst a Gimli )
Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s "just saying" that to sound intelligent. ( James Joyce…absurd and sublime concept in literature…in the area of romanticism………seriously..)
Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice. ( Alice in Chains or Alice Cooper or plain Alice)
It’s easy to date a girl who reads. ( guys seriously u need to read too, in reality its not easy to date in real life whether she reads or not )
Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. ( girls will think that you are a damn cheapskate )
Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. ( guys…..its E.E Cummings yeah…a poet, poetry is easy......google it....autocorrect it..........)
Let her know that you understand that words are love. ( seriously in the age of technology, everything is expressed by text messages and if we play semiotic stuffs : bear in mind that L-O-V-E is not LOVE - courtesy of Saussure and Pierce )
Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.She has to give it a shot somehow. ( Books and reality is like heaven and earth you know )
Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. ( syntax…..structuralist weirdo…….go away guys…girls ( again if they read or not ) they go bonkers and interrogate you full stop when you lie to them ) - i dont believe in this crap.
Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world. – u forgot something ( subtext )
Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax.Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.
( who needs a damn prequel or a sequel when you have Jar-jar Binks, in movies, all the bad guys get cooler costumes )
Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop.
( yea right........and i got blank stares when i fought with my pal with last Rocket Firing Boba Fett figure in Toys R Us)
If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her.( first thing, what on earth you are doing in 2am? and seriously if you heard anyone cried or weeping, you be really afraid man - please watch Paranormal Activity if you want to know what i mean and i aint going to hold her coz i dont like someone hold me when im reading a graphic novel )
You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. ( cmon......only couple of hours?)
She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. ( she's on medication folks..... )
You will propose on a hot air balloon ( expensive ). Or during a rock concert ( in a Led Zep reunion concert? get real ). Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.
You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. ( Emile Zola bin Abdullah Emmanuel Kant, Stevie Jobs Branson or Baud bin Llard? ) - your kids going to kill you man......trust me.....
She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.
picture this - you going to get a frostbite soon or worse freezing to death here and your girl said this instead of helping you....
''He comes into the world God knows how, walks on the water, gets out of his grave and goes up off the Hill of Howth. What drivel is this?''
and you said...................Get the hell out of here.
Date a girl who reads because you deserve it.
You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. ( you saying that my life is black and white, mono, analogue before she appears? )
If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.
- ask our parents. To be honest, my parents are one of mismatched couples in the world and yet i am proud of them. My mum only reads 4d numbers and she is damn good in it.Her topic of conversation with the rest of the sisters is the random results of toto, magnum and 1+3d, interesting hits and misses, while my dad slaps communists for a living. I still love my mum.
Or better yet, date a girl who writes.................correction, i want to date a girl who has a nice handwriting.
Nice handwriting chicks are neat freaks - bordering on OCD.
Date a girl who reads.
( no problem, the issue is what is she reading..........reading beauty magazines also can be classified as reading.)
Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes.
( serious?.......ada ker?)
She has problems with closet space because she has too many books.
( what about shoes....? )
Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
( that is pretty cool )
You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.
( which is good to kill cockroaches )
She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants.
( I did that and the Kino salesgirl looked at me like im a lunatic )
You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop?
( sniffing and look weird, define "weird" - those yellowish comic book pages smells good u know )
They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow. ( agree!!! )
