I have a personal bubble with strangers (I once put a guy twice my weight on the floor for grabbing my ass), but when I trust you, I start to acknowledge that you're a valid way for me to force my brain to produce extra oxytocin ;p
And I was talking role-play in the gaming sense of the word, not the bedroom sense, just for the record. I sometimes hit "post" before I've fully thought things through and then later it's like "Yeah, that really didn't come out right."
Earlier today, I told a friend "I once did rehab with this guy who..." and three hours later it was "No! Shit, shit, we did animal rehab together!!!"
He actually wasn't an ass-hole. We actually became good friends. From behind, I looked just like a member of the Cheerleading Squad who he had been playing mutual grab-ass with for about 10 years at that point. She was nice, too. Trust a guy not to notice that, unlike a cheerleader, I walked with a limp. *shrug*
We aren't nerds. At least, I'm not. I am a geek. *throws her fist in the air* Geek pride!!!
Yeah, I have pretty chronic foot-in-mouth disease which grows decidedly worse if I'm sleep-deprived or otherwise mentally compromised. Like the time I asked my Thesis Committee "Do you think we could arrange for my Defense to have a mosh-pit?"
Well, since when does the average guy have observational skills worth speaking of? Not their fault *hugs guys in general*
lol, good for you. could have used some booze at my defense. although, as i recall, Dr H and company did bring me out to lunch and I may or may not have gotten blitzed I was so relieved it was over
in my defense on the mosh-pit comment, i had just started studyinig herbalism. i had no idea certain PMS remedies were psychoactive ;p
I know some guys who were/are Special Forces and they're definitely Above and Beyond on obso skills. But a guy without training? Not so much...
*cheerfully hugs the guys and keeps them all for themselves*
Well, most of the men and women on my committee are people who I had been assisting on their own research for years, which I imagined helped *shrug*
Mugwort is not psychoactive in the good way. In low doses, it eases the cramps. High enough doses and it can cut the length of your period in half (which is never fun but occassionally useful). But you walk with your feet not quite touching the ground and, instead of enjoying that, it just gives you psychological vertigo. Not fun...
Don't think you could actually hurt yourself with mugwort (motherwort on the other hand is nasty shit), but you could definitely put yourself on your back for a couple of days. I tend to prefer milder preparations like lavander and catnip these days.
My Defense was terrifying, but that's mainly because I'm one of these people who is constantly coming up with Worst Case Scenarios in my head. Three seasons of that and I was strung so tightly it's a wonder my thread didn't snap before the Defense. Although it did come close when my car was stolen two months before said Defense, with all my data and the write-up on a Zip Disk in my glove-compartment...
I was in the student longue when I looked up at the TV and saw my car on the news (the "don't make me roll for Initiative" bumper-sticker and sagging bumper were dead give-aways). Five minutes later, I was sitting on the floor of Doctor H's office doing this thing that I still can't say whether it was laughing or crying...
Bless his heart, though, he kept his head and knew exactly what to say to bring me back down to Earth: "You've been having a shit semester, Kate. About all that's left is for you to be abducted by aliens."
