to all the girls i've loved before
I've really only been in love twice. The first time, it was over about three years, during college. I spent every afternoon with her, and it even kind of carried over into grad school. I moved on, but I still admired her from time to time. Maria Bartiromo, thank you for giving me a quality education in how the financial world works without having taken a single class in my life.
The second time I fell in love... well... it's taken me a while to realize it. It started probably, I dunno, a year ago. Maybe earlier, but it was six months ago or so that I really went head over heels. She's everything Maria never was: snarky, evocative, and, frankly, kind of gawky/nerdy/awkward. She's not the "Money Honey" moniker-embracing Maria, someone who uses her looks to date "have professional relationships with" men who run the corporations she's supposed to be reporting on.
So on this "oh crap Jim Cramer was right again" day of financial meltdown, here's to you, Erin Burnett. You set the bar I'll always strive for.
