    Taking the Tyranny of Coupledom Down a Notch

    July 25, 2006

    When an AP reporter called me for comment on this trend–the spread of saccharine-sweet couples websites celebrating their unique, wonderful bonds–it was hard to resist participating. Quirkyalone is a positive philosophy. it’s not about putting other people down. It’s about lifting people up. But it’s hard not to snicker at some of these perkytogether websites, whether you are quirkyalone, quirkytogether, or not!
