This is one of those xkcd's that's super emo. These are always a little awkward for me to read.
However, my interpretation of the second frame is that the black haired character is speaking in reference to relationships and dating and the like. She keeps turning away potential suitors with her phrase.
I don't think she keeps saying that every year to keep from becoming a storm chaser.
What's your interpretation of this Friday's emo xkcd? Who is emotional about what to whom?

People are haters.
Silent Hammer

Image text: I bet he'll keep quiet for a couple weeks and then-- wait, did you nail a piece of scrap wood to my antique table a moment ago?
In this comic, we see the return of the Black Hat character, who this time is using his silent hammer invention for trouble. The skeptics society is a group based on the fact that they must apply reason to all situations and only supports claims that have compelling and complete evidence. Obviously, the Black Hat character knew this before puling this prank on the "Chair of the American Skeptics Society". There does not appear to be such a title in real life, but Michael Shermer is the Executive Director of the Skeptics Society.
Additionally, it is probably not a coincidence that the Black Hat character returns on comic number 666.
Nowhere

Looks like the girl in the comic would rather be riding a dinosaur than hanging out with that dude. Ouch. The rare comic that allows us to use the cynicism, love and dinosaurs tag in one post. Bet that doesn't happen again.

This comic is a dream sequence for the male character for the first four frames. It appears to be a social commentary about why more single men and women don't randomly talk to each other. One side is waiting for the other to show the midlest interest and the other side is waiting for the other side to show interest as well. So, no one talks to anyone else and someone writes sadly into their blog.

Michael Bay ruins everything.
