Truth or Con She Quenches

Not five minutes ago I was telling myself that I will keep this a secret- no avail.

My heart is fairly bursting with joy and I feel like I must share my good news with all of the Interworld!

I have met the Perfect Woman. I found her on the Interweb, or rather she found me... and it was Whalanol that brought us together.
You see, this summer I did some in-depth investigative journalism into the prospect of converting whale oil into something you could put in your automobile ( by 'Journalism', I mean 'Fiction') and that is how I met my beloved.


She was converting my Fiction into her Journalism.

I suppose that is what she meant when she wrote this in her bio:
"Two years of ‘Teaching Journalism’ in undergraduate colleges have given me insight to what helped me as a professional."


Actually, I have no idea what that means, except that it might help explain the current sorry state of 'journalism'...a professional journalist should do a cursory fact check before publishing, at the very least. If they aren't teaching that in college, then what are they teaching?

Anyhow...

All my life I have wanted to meet the perfect woman, someone who shares my ideals, my love of nature and- most importantly- my unquenchable passion for art, music, words...something my beloved Irani ( it's her name, not her nationality) eloquently expresses with this:

"As a student of journalism myself, writing and getting articles on environment related issues published in national dailies have bolstered my confidence, encouraging all the way to be a watchdog and spokesperson on the planet ailments and their healing tips."

Smitten, I am.
Can't you feel the love?
Move the monitor closer to your head- now can you feel it?
Good.

The dowry is currently being negotiated...huh?
What's this?

Excuse me a moment- I need to check something.

(eleven seconds later)

Irani, I am sorry, but my heart is no longer yours.

Huh? That post is about plagiarism , not romance.

Mostly.

In any case, Irani is yesterday's news- I am very much looking forward to the future, which could be any second now...

well- you could have warned me she no longer had your heart before i tried to lift my portable desktop to hold it closer to my head in order top "feel the love" as you so eloquently suggested...
so who has your heart now? i'm not going to be able to sleep till you tell me!

Angel- by 'love' I meant 'radioactive glare', pretty much the same, really.

I can't answer that last question, but it ain't Irani.
