Just As Long As Me

Dating someone who is taller, smarter or richer usually spells big trouble. Okay, perhaps not collectively but there’s always that niggling point that seems to matter more than the rest. It might be other seemingly inane things too. Like how much they can relate to the humor in The Simpsons. Or knowing the difference between a Cylon and a toaster. Even their grasp of colour coordination in their wardrobe (I’ve had this laid on me before).

There is always that one thing we value in our relationship above all else. Knowing what it is is important to see us through during tough times.  It’ll also make it easier to look for Neo aka The One. Jonathan Coulton*, o geek muse, wrote a song about exactly that.

*in case you’re not familiar, he distributes his music for free and his fans reciprocate by creating machinima music videos.
