Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The Bf and I have NPR names, due ot the un-yoooo-sual names of all NPR correspondents. I'm Tondelayo Miller and He's Satirious Fogelson. We figure there's some sort of rule that people have to change their names from, say, "Kevin Halligan" to "Cormac LongChamps" when they get hired.

Color Test: the old left/right brain struggle
This is a Stroop test, used to measure attention and distractability. As far as I know, it has nothing to do with left-right brain differences. Odd that they would imply that it does.

Why must this man have a social life?
Eek. It's tough. Basically, he needs to have a social life with people who have their own apartments infinitiely prefereable to the one he shares with you, so that he is Invisible!Roomate, a fine, if dying breed.
Because if he didn't have a social life at ALL then he'd be hanging around bugging you solo.
You need to deep freeze him so he's uncomfortable in public spaces. No, it's not nice, but it can be extremely effective.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I feel my name is supportably NPRed, although I could never compete with the euphonia of Kojo Nnamdi.
This is a Stroop test, used to measure attention and distractability
That makes sense.
