Dear Laura,
So, like, I was walking through the jungle today (like, worst Terrarium *ever!*) and, like, this Grendel totally started bothering me, you know. I was like, "What-ever!" but he so totally didn't, you know, get it. So he was all like, "Hey, baby," and I was so totally like "As-if!" and I, like, left. Those mosquito things are totally, like, the worst bugs ever. But he was, like, you know, kinda, you know, cute, or something? So should I, like, go back and, like, say 'hi' to the dweeb? I'd, like, totally dig your advice.

Dear Valley Norn,
Honey, you and the dweeb are from, like, two totally different Terrariums! I mean, duh! If you hooked up, you'd have to, like, spend even more time in the jungle with him! That would be so not cool! If you think you could cope with that (and let me tell you, the mosquitoes are, like, so strong down there they could just carry you away...) how would you deal with the, like, stigma that the relationship would bring? Would your homies still think you?re a cool Nornette, or would they like, so totally reject you? Don't just let yourself, like, act on pheromones! That's so whack! Instead, you need to, like, you know, totally talk to him, like, normally to begin with. Maybe you should, like, meet inbetween the Norn Terrarium and the Jungle Terrarium for, like, now; in neutral territory, you know? Get to know him, and then decide if he's worth it, or something!
