Interview Series Day 15: Sarah Ramirez

Sarah Ramirez is the great love of my young life.  Five years ago this Valentine’s Day, she date-raped me at a party, and from those innocent and serendipitous beginnings our adulation blossomed.  Unlike the analogous bloom, which culminates, subsides, wilts, my self’s entwining with Sarah has only know progressive gradations, a continuous meshing amidst meshing of greater and greater magnitudes.  She has proffered the most illustrious highs and plummeting lows of my entire life.  Few people, if anyone, can inspire true, quaking-eye, vitriolic rage in me as Sarah can.  No one, no one but Sarah can inspire the antithesis.  Being loved is as involved and trying as giving love, and Sarah has shown me past showing that I am, despite myself, capable of both.  She is also a snazzy dresser, innerly and outwardly gorgeous, and my first and most obsessive fan.  If life provides a singular certainty, that certainty is uncertainty, and, if anything, Sarah has provided me a lone certainty amongst the endless infinity the unknown.  That certainty is this: there is my side, and there is Sarah at it.
