Another reason why I dislike neologisms

I like the concept, it describes me and a lot of my friends, but really, is there anyone out there who really thinks someone can't come up with a better name than quirkyalone? I'm sorry, but it's a horrible word, that just sounds wrong when you say it out loud and doesn't really make much sense when you say it. Anyway, here's what it means:

We are the puzzle pieces who seldom fit with other puzzle pieces. Romantics, idealists, eccentrics, we inhabit singledom as our natural resting state. In a world where proms and marriage define the social order, we are, by force of our personalities and inner strength, rebels.

For the quirkyalone, there is no patience for dating just for the sake of not being alone. We want a miracle. Out of millions, we have to find the one who will understand.

Better to be untethered and open to possibility: living for the exhilaration of meeting someone new, of not knowing what the night will bring. We quirkyalones seek momentous meetings.

All well and good, but the cynical side of me can't help but wonder how many people will be going along to International Quirkyalone Day parties aiming to pull. (found via Green Fairy)
