Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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

There's a security guard that says "hi" too often. Some of the students linger a bit after class.

But, like, hit on? Doing something that involves them revealing attraction to me in one or two gestures?

Doesn't happen to me often since I moved to LA. I'm not that girl.

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

But Allyson, do you go out to hitting on type places?

No, not really. I mean, I'm either in West Hollywood or Los Feliz. And I'm told I'm initimidating. Which always makes me laugh.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Snakes on a plane news stories are getting kind of thin.

ita, whenever I go anywhere with you, people turn to check you out. It's a much nicer version of hitting on.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm guessing that her touted participation in guy-heavy activities leads to her getting hit on -- being a libertarian who runs for office and running cons and the like.

Hmmph. If no one's willing to let me know they want to have sex with me, I'm no less NGA than if no one wants to have sex with me.

But thanks for the compliment.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

WhatEV. Men will hit on anything remotely woman-shaped. *Anything.*

Hey! I never get hit on. Maybe I am not woman-shaped. Quick, someone chalk-outline me.

I rarely get hit on, so maybe I'm sortof woman-shaped.

I think the freakiest part is how unbelievably unselfaware she is.

For me, it's the combination of the actual unselfawareness and the self-reported selfawareness.

Try saying that 3 times fast.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I don't get hit on either, but I (a) am usually with my husband and (b) give out pretty distinct "do not talk to me" vibes.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Allyson, you do so get hit on. Remember that cutiehead coffeehouse guy you squeed about in Natter just a few weeks ago who was being all large with the flirty with you?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
