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.

We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

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
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.

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!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hey, paperdol, you haven't yet been Wiki'd, but you have been some-kind-of-pedia'd. Coolness!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sweet, Jilli!
OMG, I just got the actual confirmation of Very Good News Indeed at work. I've been 90% sure about it for a week or so, but still scared it would fall through somehow. Nope. I don't know if I can do any more work today.

Can anyone-- or multiple anyones do me a favor and check out this site, which has been designed to help people find nursing continueing education courses on our web-site. I did not design it, and I am looking for some feedback on user-friendliness that I can take to the designer.
You can respond to me at nadine (underscore) taylor (at)urmc.rochester.edu or just a quick note on the board. I am interested in knowing if anyone's first reaction is the same as mine!
