An intimate scrapbook documenting the trials and tribulations of nereis, our intrepid nematode at large (and a somewhat inconsistent blogger)

What are you looking for in a partner, and why?

Met this really cool girl in a waking dream. She studied computer science and reprogrammed games in her spare time because the cheap animations annoyed her. She laughed in the most infectious way... one couldn't help but smile each time. We talked about our favourite games and of her modified tank sprite, which she had nicknamed "bumblebee" because of its skittish, buzzy behavioural patterns.

I woke up, greatly disappointed that my new friend was but a trick of the mind - not the sort of fantasy girl my conscious mind would invent, but an inspired, alluring vision of someone in love with life. Apparently what I seek in a partner is someone who is a warmer, better person than I am. Someone who will push me to become a better person, by balancing out my tendency towards introspection and complacency.

What is beauty? What the truly beautiful girl gives is melody to the whole man. She brings about inner harmonisation, so that the whole man dances. Sometimes this harmonisation is so powerful that the man is re-created. That is to be in love.

To be sucked in my warmness
To be caressed by thrilling feminine tones that have no shyness
To be melted away in tones
This is the greatest discovery -
Self-absorption.
