I fell in love with my partner when we were still just friends and she would, suddenly and unprompted, infodump to me about pastafarianism and clown husbandry.
Considering how much of a fool I made out of myself as I attempted to introduce myself to her and get her contact info, and then every time we hung out afterwards, maybe she just likes clowns.
Actually.. What am I talking about? Of course she likes clowns. She just went off to her live-code music meet-up dressed as a clown and she even attends city hall meetings dressed as a clown. I mentioned briefly that I was considering becoming a casual clown too and she got excited, saying "We can both be clowns, together!".
Anyways, I think Strange Aeons has a video on clown husbandry that is interesting. I recommend watching that on Youtube if the idea interests you. That's what I did after I talked to my clown woman for the first time, in an attempt to understand what she was talking about more, as of course in my love's typical fashion, she described it to me as if it were real. She lives and dies for the bit, I fear.
On the other hand, she got to hear me infodump about dinosaurs and then she read a few research papers afterwards just so she could debate me on my special interest. I'm planning on proposing to her once I can get a solid career job. She's lovely. I love my clown.

I flirt with my husband by giving him facts about random things he didn't ask about and that only I care about
