    Just whose image do you think is more important, Johnson, yours or hers??

    I keep wondering what kind of life experience would be necessary to jolt Jeri out of her archetypical-dumb-blonde-self-centered-valley-girl psyche, and what it is that makes so many people in real life (guys included) end up in that mode. It’s a puzzlement, and it’s disturbing, because these people end up in the workplace or as parents.

    Love. And all of its imitations. Love is not founded on logic; hence it defies logic, exists outside of it. That is why it escapes description and reasoning. and partly why it is as miserable as it is joyous.

    Jeri has a lot in common with Quinn Morgendorffer in “Daria” – in that particular TV comic, the vacuous and shallow Quinn eventually finds depth and maturity when she grows up, marries and has three kids. A lesson for Jeri or a glimpse of her future?

    “When you’re away, I’m restless, lonely,
    Wretched, bored, dejected; only
    here’s the rub, my darling dear,
    I feel the same when you’re near”

    There are a lot of good comments today! As for “Daria”, wow, I vaguely remember that! I never saw when Quinn grew up and became an adult – was it kind of like the ending of this Preteena, a glimpse into the future?

    That, Old Wolf, is the one mystery Allison never answered.

    I hadn’t heard that the Daria series continued that far. I was sorry to see it end, sometime in 2002 as I remember, but I hadn’t heard that it continued. Quinn married and a mom of three? Well then what became of Daria?

    How about this life experience: draft jeri into the army. One of my grandnieces joined the army and she likes it. My grandniece would chew jeri up one side and down the other and drill jeri a few new @$$ holes. jeri would either shape up or get a dishonorable discharge after a year in the stockade. Yes I just typed that even though I’m a Leftist Liberal Socialist who hates authority.

    I haven’t gotten to see that episode of “Daria.” Daria, smart, unassuming, emotionally flat and wonderfully sardonic. Wish I could meet someone like that.
