Dear Romantic Advisers

in the future, if you are trying to warn me that someone i am interested in is not sane, please do not refer to her as "crazy." because, you see, to that i will respond, "so am i." and you will laugh a nervous laugh.

when i hear a girl is "crazy" i equate it to hearing people call me "crazy"-- in most cases they do not mean insane, but weird, eccentric, or simply a drunk. and generally, those are the types of girls i'm attracted to. i like the misfits and strangelings. so, by calling an insane woman "crazy" you are misleading me to believe i've found a lady who will match me perfectly.

let it be in writing that if you are ever looking out of my better being, refer to an insane woman as "insane," "not sane," or even "not all there."

just not "crazy" because that-- to me-- is a good trait.

the danger of all this is that an insane person sometimes acts similarly to a crazy person-- perhaps that's why the words are somewhat synonymous. there is ace ventura wearing-a-tutu crazy and then there is psychopaths wearing-a-clown-suit insane: on the surface, they appear the same.

and by the time i realize she's not just cute-crazy or extra-weird, but in fact fully insane, it's already too late. by that time, i've already fallen for the tutus and the strange eating behavior-- i've already taken the outbursts of extreme emotion to be a very passionate mind, rather than what it is: an imbalanced brain.

and then it's too late to escape cleanly and i'm doomed.

this is why it is very important you call insane girls "insane" and weird girls "crazy". you cannot mix the two or i will fall for an axe-murder, a stalker, or a generally horrible villain and will forever remember you saying, "watch out, she's crazy!" and wish you used more specific wording while silently slipping toward my demise.

thank you kindly,
president wishnack

p.s. the lady on an underwater rascal has nothing to do with this letter except that i felt like maybe you wouldn't read it unless there was an interesting picture included.
