I might not have discovered hyperboleandahalf at all had it not been for my friend Emily. Emily is the only person in the universe to still use Xanga. However, she is hilarious, so I still read her Xanga, despite the fact that it reminds me of my own defunct Xanga, the password for which was "elvesrock". I was such a cool 14-year-old.
Anyway, Emily wrote the other day about a coworker who recommended hyperboleandahalf to her because of her off-kilter sense of humor, except she already reads hyperboleandahalf, ha ha ha. (Seriously, Emily is funny. I am not funny, however, and thus I have killed the funniness in Emily's funny. FUNNY.) I did not think much of it at the time, as I tend to stick to blogs my friends write and The New York Times for my daily dose of online reading. Then I saw that Anj had reposted something from hyperboleandahalf on Facebook. If Anj likes something on the Internet, I probably like it too.
As a result, instead of doing the productive, vaguely-related-to-my-future reading I had planned on doing today, I am reading hyperboleandahalf. So far, I have learned that ninja attacks will help my relationship and that when confronted with the grammatical fallacy "alot", I should imagine that Alot is a creature that everyone happens to talk about, well, a lot. Time well spent.
