Let me put it clear and simple: Tracicle is one of the greatest people ever. She has consistently rated "above average" on any criteria I've ever marked her on. And let me tell you, I mark to some pretty hard guidelines. If I think someone is slacking off, say, on personal hygiene standards, then I have no hesitation in marking them extremely harshly in that category. And then I put their scorecard back in their file and I might not even review it for, like, weeks. Yep, I'm pretty tough. But ever since I started marking other people's personal characteristics on individual scorecards, Tracicle has been one of my "star performers". She was the first person I ever gave a rating of "mediocre-plus" to. And then her scores just got higher and higher. Last week I was thinking to myself, "Hey, I haven't seen Tracicle's haircut for a while", so I went on flickr and I saw what she'd done with her "do", and I said, "Wow, that's an above-average, right there". And I marked her card and I put it back in her file and I thought, "Yeah. You go, girl." I spend a lot of time by myself in my room just marking people on a whole variety of criteria – dress sense, facial attractiveness, child-bearing capacity – all the usual stuff. And when you do that you almost feel like you know them. I mean - I've never actually met Tracicle. Woah - I'd have to have a whole set of new criteria ready before I even thought about doing THAT. No, what I mean is that if someone emailed me and said, "Hey, what's Tracicle really like, man?", then I could point to a whole range of statistical information about the scores that I've personally given her over the years in a range of categories. And that statistical information would give you a real sense of what she’s like, you know, as a person. Maybe I'd even do some pie-charts and stuff. In colour, too.
