`` katherine xvii i met-i 'm not going to lie about it-on the internet the next january , and she had a pierced nose with a ring in it and had this immensely impressive vocabulary with which she was able to talk about in-die rock-one of the words she used that i did n't initially know the definition of was , in fact , 'indie'-and it was fun to listen to her talk about music and one time i helped her dye her hair , but then she broke up with me after three weeks because i was sort of 'emo nerd ' and she was more looking for 'emo core .
