I met this girl and she said she was from Seattle. So naturally, I thought that she might be cool. I was wrong. She wasn't really from Seattle. She was, in fact, from some town four hours away from Seattle which apparently was known for one thing and one thing alone; being four hours away from Seattle.
If she had told me all this when I first met her, we might be friends, it's that type of blunt honesty which can creat a trusting relationship. But no, she told me she was from Seattle and this desire for simplicity has put a chasm between us, never to be breached.
