Via e-mail to him:

The therapist asked me if I felt as close to my boyfriend as I want to.

I said...

Yes.

His response:

as close as you want huh...so thats what? 350 yard restraining order?



(Oh my contrary boyfriend. That trait is endearing in anyone, in my eyes.)

I realized recently that I can automatically sniff out who has a narcissistic personality, even if I don't consciously know it, and then gravitate toward the person. (Yes, I'm a bit fascinated by the subject lately.)

Just now, one of my intern coworkers was jokingly (I think) recounting what he usually writes on his progress notes:

My parents are so damn narcissistic.

I told them I didn't want to go around telling everyone I was going for a doctorate at this point, but then I call them today and a guy friend of theirs picks up and says, "Hi, Laura. I hear you're doing your Ph.d."

I'm at the end of a very difficult bout of food poisoning. I've identified the cause as a aloe vera juice I was using to make homemade mouthwash with.

Yesterday, I was throwing up virtually every hour, most of the time with nothing there to come up and just uncomfortable, uncontrollable dry retching. Drinking water only made the urge worse. I was searching desperately on...

This seems to be a useful tool for determining what kind of taste in girls (or girls' styles) a guy (or girl) has, since it's the same girl in each one and that takes out a confounding variable.

Votes, anyone?

deepsister2000: so tell me what you think of this and if you think this is bullshit as much as i do:
deepsister2000: my supervisor goes, "did you ask how they're feeling? lots of people don't even know what they're feeling"
deepsister2000: she bases her entire therapy sessions on that
wycann: i would shoot her if it was legal
deepsister2000: hahaha!

Cody was saying all sorts of things to my cat Maya. She paid no heed until he said, "You're PUDGY."

Then, she pulled one of these:



It was priceless.
