[ WP ] Once you hit a certain age , tattoos appear on your body . Your goal for the rest of your life is to find someone with matching tattoos .

`` It is n't right!'' 
 
 `` Look grandpa.'' I say, rolling my eyes. `` Things are different now, ok? It was a different time, and we do n't have to live that way.'' 
 
 `` Different time? Hah! A proper time you mean!'' I could feel him gearing up for another rant. I knew I had to cut it off at the source. `` In my day-'' 
 
 `` In your day, you wandered across half the country looking for your pairing. It took over a decade of hard work and searching but you finally found grandama, just as you were about to give up hope, at a diner just outside of Tulsa, mere hours after being kicked out of a gala dinner you snuck into because a stranger had told you that someone attending matched you, only to discover she'd lived just a few short miles from you your entire life.'' The words come out rapid fire, without pause or breath. Overriding him with his own story is the only way to stem the tide. Fortunately he's told the story enough that not memorizing it would be a miracle. `` I get it. I really do. Its romantic, its epic, and its the way things have been done for thousands of years. 
 
 `` But grandpa,'' I sigh, `` you have to understand. We have the internet now. I just upload the pictures of myself, and an algorithm finds everyone with similar markings. Now please, just let me finish.'' 
 
 I fill in the last few informational fields as grandpa tries to regain his footing. 
 
 `` Well, I do n't see how some fancy computer could possibly-'' 
 
 `` Found her.'' 
 
 `` What?!?!'' 
 
 `` Yeah, she lives about seven blocks away. I'm gon na go say hi.''
