I take that back. Linguistics is not like sex. It's the other way around.
Speaking of, sex and spelling are both fun backwards.

Linguistics is like sex: afterward, I am hungry, a little bit sleepy and filled with joy.

My required qualifications for a potential mate reads like a want-ad for a job:
Technical QUALIFICATIONS
- Must be able to show familiarity with and ability to use common bio-informatic algorithms: dynamic programming methods, sequence alignment, Databa...ses, phylogenetic/clustering algorithms; molecular biology knowledge a plus.
- Recent hands-on experience preferred in installation, configuration and maintenance of sexual intercourse, as well as medium to large network infrastructure :)
- The ability to quickly learn and apply new technologies.
- The ability to effectively communicate technical concepts to non-technical persons (or: "explain your girlfriend, dude").
- Strong diagnostic/troubleshooting skills a NECESSITY.
- Familiarity with 2 or more of the following:
PHP
ASP
HTML
CSS
Java Script
XML
Web Services
SQL Server
MYSql
Basic, VB, VB 6
perl
are desired but not required, can train the right individual.
- Must be able-bodied but more concerned with able-mindedness:
- Enthusiastic about preparation of assessment reports, closure plans, post-closure compliance reports, and other evaluations and reports. (Read: I like to make lists. a LOT.)
- Appreciation of art, food, and literature: and I mean, for the love of God, please have books at your house.
I am an equal opportunity girlfriend.
Hiring and related decisions are made without regard to race, age, disability, religion, national origin, color or any other protected class.
However, particular preference will be given to those who possess the following qualities (common variables and factors that will directly affect your being chosen for the job):
- An understanding (but only mild tolerance of) my smoking habit - the sporadic but well-timed wit is fine, the incessant whine, nag or insult is not. The pilfer of, absconding with or willful destruction of my cigarettes is grounds for immediate termination.
I am an at-will friend and girlfriend and reserve such a right.
- An extraordinary amount of patience, with knowledge of Autistic Spectrum Disorders and guerrilla-style communication clarification skills.
- An extremely flexible schedule, which at times will include far too little sleep for a human and other times will require extensive travel.
- Must have reliable transportation, emphasis on reliable, as I admit to seeking a shining example of reliability, stability and responsibility.
* A nurturing personality, which is seemingly incongruous with my former qualifying factors and even, in fact, incongruous with my nature as a whole.
This is the point. I'm not looking for a Dad for my kid- I'm looking for a Mom. Haha. Kidding...
*Enjoyment or appreciation (or at the least, tolerance of) my relatively obsessive interests, hobbies and repetitive (read: compulsive) behaviors and interests.
Let's talk all night. Let's walk around the world and not even "tweet" about it.
If you insist on microblogging in some fashion, you bring the napkins, I'll bring the pens and highlighters.
You are already aware that the scientific calculator, dueling laptops, right angle, protractor, compass, and graph-paper are in my bag.
Let's make magic. Until it isn't magic anymore, and then we'll make something else. Like, brownies.

yahoo messenger, circa 2003.
"desiree: you have to use a word that describes me
liz: strong
desiree: my word for you is willful
desiree: why wont you name your baby desiree?
liz: cause her name is already decided :P lol
desiree: who do you admire most?
liz: you. really. if someone other than you asked me that i'd still say desiree. because i know (and you know) that if I'd been the single, working highschool-aged mom diagnosed with cancer...i'd never have been as strong as you..."

when im sick like this, going reasonably short periods of time away from someone (peers, ex-coworkers, distant and not so distant family) can make me feel so bizarre: accomplished, disgusting, strong, weak, insane, in and out of control:
well meaning "You have gotten so skinny!" "You are such a twig!" "Ooh girl, eat a cheeseburger" are harmful, not harmless. these humans are not spiteful and often times complimentary.
"whats your secret?" <--- my favorite
oh, if only you knew, comrade. but alas, you are not privy to my day to day dysfunction and not intellectually capable of comprehending the complexity of eating disorders, themselves.
that is my secret. i AM the fucking secret.
