Went to Calais once on a trip with school. There's a shop in the hypermarket there where they sell butterfly knives which was pretty cool. #aboythattravels

Date a girl who teaches children. Date a girl who enjoys more in a bookstore for school supplies and children’s books rather than in make-up store.
surely she doesn't teach english?!

I just realized that all of these Date an X who Y are because of this thing from thought catalog from two years ago

― resulting paste of mashed cheez poops (silby), Saturday, 18 May 2013 01:02 (ten years ago) link
back when Thought Catalog was relevant for about five minutes
this was apparently blogged "in response" and from there I guess it became a sappy Facebook meme

hm that second link is clearly copypasta, I see attributions to someone named "Rosemarie Urquico" in lots of places but never a link back
― resulting paste of mashed cheez poops (silby), Saturday, 18 May 2013 01:05 (ten years ago) link
evidence that "Date A Girl Who Reads" dates to shortly after the TC piece's publication http://www.tinamats.com/2011/datea-girl-who-reads/
blog investigation on the copypasta: http://themonicabird.com/post/3582061419/rosemarie-urquico-has-been-found
― resulting paste of mashed cheez poops (silby), Saturday, 18 May 2013 01:07 (ten years ago) link
anyway the point is somehow all of these memes are way way worse than the original Thought Catalog slam-poetry-level emotional wankery, which is mindboggling
