The Indie Girl
It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party. -- Nick Hornby, High Fidelity
An Indie Girl's life is a Statement with a capital S, but unlike the Granola Girl, the statement is not political -- it's artistic. Indie Girls consider themselves actresses in the movie of life. Your meal needs to be constructed like an independent film. If you're bringing her over for a date, you are playing a character in her movie. If you create a setting, props, and a soundtrack that are good enough to avoid the cutting-room floor, she's yours.
You can boil the Indie Girl down to two words: cultural literacy. Or how about these two: media consumption. As the Gourmet Girl loves food and all that goes with it, the Indie Girl loves media: books, movies, music, and art. The good news is you don't have to be rich, good-looking, or famous to win this girl's heart. The bad news is she will judge you based on your music choices, the books you read, and the films you watch.
She Might Be a Indie Girl if:
She drives: a classic car, a VW beetle, a Mini Cooper, or a Vespa scooter.
She can talk for more than ten minutes about: obscure pop culture.
She begins her sentences with: "It's like that Simpsons episode . . ."
She'd never: drive a mini-van.
She owns any of the following: TiVo, a mini-DV camera, an iPod, a pottery wheel, a serger, or a lava lamp.
The Granola Girl
She's cooking salad for breakfast She's got tofu the size of Texas -- Beck, "Nitemare Hippy Girl"
Face it. You're going to have to go to eat tofu for this girl. But don't freak out. Tofu doesn't taste bad. It's just bean curd. In fact, tofu doesn't really taste like anything. It has the chameleon-like quality of taking on the flavor of whatever you mix it with; kind of like that spineless, sidekick friend who used to follow you around in high school, mindlessly adopting your opinions. Bad quality for a friend, good quality for a protein.
Plan on going vegetarian but be aware, vegetarians come in different stripes. There are lacto-vegetarians, who will eat dairy, and lacto-ovos, who include eggs in their diet. Pesco-vegetarians allow fish, a choice that is common in Asian cultures, while pollo-vegetarians tolerate poultry. A vegan will not eat meat, fish, eggs, or any kind of dairy. Nor will she eat or use any product that was produced by an animal, including wool, leather, and honey (the bees are oppressed).
She Might Be a Granola Girl if:
She drives: a VW bus, a bicycle, or an electric car, or uses public transportation.
She can talk for more than ten minutes about: hemp.
She begins her sentences with: "Ralph Nader says . . ."
She'd never: vote Republican.
She owns any of the following: a smudge stick, a tongue scraper, a compost bin, Dr. Bronner's soap (bulk size).
