the fact that he's drawing all these personality traits from people and pairing them up with the way a certain smile looks
He's an emotion researcher. It's in the job description.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Today is the work xmas party at a nice restaurant. So I wore nice clothes and a sparkly flower in my hair.
And I can't tell if the scientists are making fun of me when they keep saying, "oh! nice flower."

I don't think your scientists are capable of that much subtlety. I think they actually mean "nice flower".

Just the fact that he's drawing all these personality traits from people and pairing them up with the way a certain smile looks makes me think he's a candidate for practicing the kind of science that people have been fighting to put in Kansas schools.
ooh, phrenology!

It freaks me out when guys insist they're not about subtlety, and really it's all about being happy when chicks wear tight clothes.
Which is marginally related to what you said, Allyson, although I believe they meant nice flower. Why not?
It's just off a conversation I was having with a (sorry, got distracted by a cow-orker picking his nose) nice guy yesterday. I don't want to believe that guys are significantly simpler than women--but maybe I'm overstating the complexity of chicks.

Hi Corwood. You know I had to check to make sure you weren't *actually* Jandek.
Ever since I painted my teeth, everyone has noticed the resemblence.
But you figured out who I really am, right? Hint: I live in Austin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I want fries. Not sushi so much, since I had some last night.
Speaking of research, I recently read an amazing article attributing qualities of various Greek gods to CEOs, based on interviews with the CEOs. It was fascinating and bizarre, because they were all, "He's obviously invoking the spirit of Artemis when he said blah blah blah," and I did not get it at all.

That is right. Tonight at 7, tomorrow again at 11am, I think.
