Don't underestimate the massive nature that my delusions would have, had I delusions. That potential pales before nothing other than the scale of my rightness.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Delusions piled upon delusions. And now we are back to it being kind of sad.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
OMG, am I gonna get in before the "new" thread rolls over 200?
Woo! Now back to catch up. Carry on.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Did Sting the music guy take his name from that?
I believe it had to do with a childhood bee costume.
Because there's social contact. It makes me feel less like a caged freak.
This is one of the reasons I wish I could afford krav. That and combining exercise with learning useful skills. A treadmill just doesn't inspire a sense of purpose.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'd heard he always wore a black & yellow stipey sweater. But I could be wrong.

It's been awhile since I read about the origin of Sting's name, but I'll bet one of us is at least partly right.

He once performed wearing a black and yellow jersey with hooped stripes that fellow band member Gordon Solomon had noted made him look like a bumblebee, thus he became "Sting." He uses Sting almost exclusively, except on official documents.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
You know, there's a reason I do like going to krav, even when I don't feel well. Because there's social contact. It makes me feel less like a caged freak.
That's pretty much why I go to Toastmasters.

No self-respecting engineering student would make the kinds of dumb mistakes that are built into us. All of our pelvises slope forward for convenient knuckle-dragging, like all the other great apes. And the only reason you stand erect is because of this incredible sharp bend at the base of your spine, which is either evolution's way of modifying something or else it's just a design that would flunk a first-year engineering student.
