ita, I can see it, but, very oddly, only if I close my left eye. With both eyes, or with the left but not the right, it's just the young woman.
That worked for me too! But only if I tilted my head a bit to the left. CRAZY!
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The best I have to far is probably pathological compulsion. But I think there is a word that my correspondent is looking for.

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
Yesterday I locked myself out of my office with no keys, no money, and no phone.
So I tried to break in. I scaled a wall, jumped a fence, fell on my ass, beaned my head on a planter, tried to pick a lock with a hairpin, and then I interrupted my boss' pool party to be rescued.
I am my own episode of I Love Lucy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's a term for a kind of compulsion or tendency that a person has to repeat the same patterns in their lives, like seeking out the same relationships or whatnot, usually with a negative connotation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. Now I feel I should learn to pick locks.
You okay, paperdol?

I'm banged up, but mostly I'm suffering bruised ego.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The best I have to far is probably pathological compulsion.
I think that probably is the best term. The behavior wasn't really described as obsessive, but I think pathological could have a case made for it.

Holy butt, Jilli!

Hmm. Corsets. Mad computer skillz. Friends all over the world. Krav. Pole-dancing. Lock-picking.
Does anyone else feel like perhaps ita is working on an "Alias"-based reality show or something?

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?
Yay, Jilli!!
