    OH MY GOD, OKCUPID STOP IT.

    After a year of email updates and “Someone on QuickMatch just chose you!” notifications, I finally logged into OkCupid to change my relationship status and/or cancel my account and then had to close the window after three minutes because there were too many colors and flashing lights and I was slightly concerned they would induce a seizure. AND apparently people can now just message you like on GChat and Facebook, and I can’t figure out how to turn that shit off while I tend to my profile, so these windows keep popping up and now I am accidentally embroiled in an abortion debate with someone because I couldn’t resist responding, and meanwhile, two other chat windows popped up, and my god, are users allowed to DO THIS?? Don’t I have to, like, approve you to message me first? So great. I never even got to the cancel account page, and I will just have to ignore OkCupid emails for the rest of my life, because I am too scared to go back to the actual website lest I click the wrong thing and make someone think that I chose THEM on QuickMatch or something.

    This just confirms my hatred for dating. I will opt to remain single forever if Patrick and I ever break up. Can someone a little more tech-savvy please tell me what the fuck is with this incredibly user-unfriendly, non-intuitive website?! HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO FIND LOVE THIS WAY??

    BAH.

      Woah, I knew the SparkNotes=OKCupid, but no idea about the Bishop Allen connection.
