Transference Theory of Invalid Love

Artsy Girls Rule

People who are estranged from their own emotions and who therefore choose to disassociate themselves from the actual people in their lives, sadly, often experience and indulge in romantic crushes on celebrities. Although usually an extension of a normal fantasy life, this misplacement of affection can be an indicator of a more serious anti-social disorder. How do I know this? Tonight I saw Me And You And Everyone We Know and, upon leaving the theatre, I discovered that I had developed a seriously deranged romantic fixation with Miranda July. Although I’m an idiot, I’m not totally stupid. The reason for my seemingly inexplicable crush has less to do with Miranda’s obvious talent, brilliant spirit and disarming sexiness, than it does with the fact that I’ve spent the last week in hermetic seclusion. Or at least that’s my theory. In any event, I think she's the bee's knees.
