Just let me know when that's settled, Perkins.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The two or three times that I've fainted, I remember thinking, "gee, I wonder if this is what it feels like to faint" and then someone is standing over me asking if I'm okay. I've never felt myself falling, and never known I lost consciousness. I remember the experiences as a continuous event.
Which is to say, Epic, if you can get home safely, go home and take care!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Can you, I don't know, drink a bunch of water before you shower, pump up the blood volume a little? Maybe water now would help, too.
One of the things I've done in the past is to leave the bathroom door open - so the steam doesn't get so problematic. I haven't had to do it since last summer tho' - the heatwave we're in right now sorta snuck up on me. And I need to drink more water. I try to be hypervigilant about this, since my allergies are so bad I take a lot of decongestants, and I've had wooziness problems in Karate, and Swing Dance, and Kung Fu. But, these last couple weeks of the semester have been so hectic that I've been letting "nutrition" slip, and that seems to include drinking enough water, apparently.
Not least because I immediately flash to all the most-accidents-happen-in-the-bathroom stats and think of everything I could hit my head on if I did keel over in the shower.
Yes, this. Although, I think I worry more "what if someone found me like this?" than the head-hitty stuff (which is really stupid considering my record for face-plants - ah, but Vanity, she is a strong one)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
-t, I say go ahead and start this one, and I will follow up on the last one separately.

Also, feel better, ET, and be careful.

Funnily enough, every time I have actually fainted, I felt much better afterwards than all the times I felt like I was about to faint and didn't. It's been a good few years since either happened, which I hope continues.

Okay, Perkins. COnsider it started. I'll make a shinier more announcement like post in a few days and include a reminder about the last one. Meanwhile, accepting e-mails to profile address, including "Tiara Exchange" in the subject would be helpful.

If I only had a brain...
I'm thinking about getting a new messenger/tote/backpack. Basically, I need something I can stuff gym clothes, a book or two, and 8 1/2 x 11 papers into; I'd like it to have organization pockets.
Anybody got a favorite brand or model? Kicky colors would be good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you need to put running shoes in too?
