I've fallen off the dating boat over the course of this term. Guess I got tired of being around strangers at school with this heavier schedule, so I've been using any non-class time exclusively as either alone time or congregations with already very familiar friends. For the past few weeks, the thought of dating has been completely absent from my mind.

Maybe I should get...

Karaoke was fun tonight. I sang 3 songs:

What You Waiting For by Gwen Stefani
Stupid Girl by Garbage
True Faith by New Order

Skot said the singing lessons paid off and asked how dare I swoop by his club night and steal away the show by rocking the house.smile And that I sang True Faith better than he does. I had no idea he...

I'm completely done with both take-home finals and can relax. I've been thinking about new tattoo design ideas. Right now, I'm considering a winged fossil across my belly in a somewhat diagonal arrangement. I really like this one, but with the head going forward instead of twisting back. I find these fossils so beautiful, and they also reflect my favoring evolution over creationism. (A...

Now that I've received my second of two take-home final instructions, I'm looking forward to tackling them and, even more so, getting them done, which means the end of this term's coursework. I'm just glad this was a warp speed mini-term of 8 weeks of crap rather than a dragged out one. But, before I tackle these, I need to recover my full energy. (It...

Wow, I was full of bile yesterday.

But not today, and I feel better physically in terms of less overstimulation. These two factors seem to covary. Huh. So if I'm talking shit about people, you can guess my circuits are most likely fried.

The same thing happens when I drink alcohol, which leads to an adrenaline surge. It's one reason I don't drink.

Ugh, craving male attention. Each piece of it has a shelf life of about 5 days, and then I want another. I wonder why I start getting very distracted from my work and then realize that's what it is.

And just platonic male friends don't count. Only ones who are potentially interesting to me satisfy.

I wish I could be free of this instinct.

You missed the part about "POTENTIALLY INTERESTING." wink

"A man who is put off by bluntness will simply not be able to deal with an Aspie long-term. A person to whom a specific kind of appearance is vital is not going to be able to cope with a woman whose dress-sense must take into account both sensory issues and an inordinate amount of time spent in hobbies such as, say, feral cat capture-spay/neuter-release...

Sometimes, I wonder if I'll be good at counseling, since I can be so judgmental. But I realize that I can suspend my outward expression of it while funneling the energy into providing new perspective. I do it quite frequently in social situations, actually. Contrary to popular opinion, therapists aren't there to give advice or make decisions for their clients; they merely offer guidance so...

I interviewed my father for a class paper on someone at a late life stage (70+), and gathered the following information. He's turning 81 on Wednesday.

He boxed in the Marines and has never been afraid of another man physically. He's also never been afraid of any man in business, despite several lawsuits. He never had any fear while hunting in Africa. (How is he...

Taylor has a crazy factor scale for girls ranging from 1 to 10. He'll go up to a 7 but no farther when dating. Unfortunately, he keeps attracting 8's, 9's, and 10's.

When I asked him to rate me, he said I'm generally a 5. Wow, despite all the crazy ideas I spout for our entertainment, he still thinks I'm only halfway there. But he...

fatalconceit:
i'll take your word for it.

your raised eyebrows suggested surprise to me. you wouldn't be surprised at my insulting you so I figured you thought I was giving you an unexpected compliment. I still don't know why Clay Baking was brought into the picture... is he on your mind?
innocentmind:
No, I was raising my eyebrow because what you said was unacceptable. I don't always take the abuse, you know.wink Sometimes, I pretend to take it seriously and retaliate just for kicks because that's part of the game. I would accept a compliment from you graciously. Perhaps someone needs to mail you a new Laura user's manual. (Also, a therapist who values being crazy wouldn't be a very good one.)

I guess you don't mind being compared to Christian gays. Who'd have thought? I was continuing down the American Idol vein and progressing to a more insulting character, since you seemed to hope I wasn't calling you Ryan Seacrest, who also has a particularly lame gay vibe. (Some have cool gay vibes.) But you aren't up to speed in pop culture, which is probably a good thing.
