Unbelievable Coincidence
Just got around to reading my notifications and found( this fic ) which is a quite cute Sherlock fic. The title is exactly something that my first husband used to say whenever he used to mock pretentious people in order that he not feel his lack of educational background as a problem.
I never made fun of him for the chip on his shoulder which his mother regularly replenished. Perhaps if I had things might have been different. Pretension is other peoples' interpretation of your own refinement, I think I thought of him only just todaY as I was cutting the hedge that I planted "what do we want a hedge for?" "to stop people wandering into our garden?" Tch, Our garden, listen to you..."
He never really got that I loved him past this, and that the most unlovable thing he did for himself was to give people permission to make himself feel inferior, and that in the end that was the thing that I couldn't bear watching about being with him. I'm not perfect but I will miss him sometimes especially when reading phrases like "Counterpoint the Surrealism of the Underlying Metaphor" come up as someone tries to bullshit their way through.
And now, this..
