A few months ago, my good friend GreenEyes and I were chatting. She told me that Tex had told her that it was free communication weekend at E-scam-your-money(why do they run so many free communication weekends?) and she wanted to make sure to mention it to me in case I was interested. I immediately smote her,  and then tied her to the railroad tracks and left her there. How dare she suggest I might be interested in eH?

GreenEyes must not have been around when I tried eH. I did not enjoy the HUNDREDS of little dots I had to fill in, measuring every inkling of my personality, sometimes feeling like I was answering the same question over and over and over, just to see if I would trip up. These HUNDREDS of questions are designed to map out your personality into 26 Dimensions and then match you with people you are most likely to not bludgeon to death in their sleep be compatible with. That’s really only if the people you’re most likely to be compatible with actually make it through that survey and get to read all about your 26 Dimensions.

And also pay.

Because, you see eH  is a business, like any other. It’s basically an internet matchmaking service and if they’re going to go through the trouble of measuring 26 of my Dimensions, well… they’re going to get paid for it. Apparently GreenEyes was unaware of this fact. She says to me, “Why don’t you try it?”
