This only-one-woman-at-most-in-a-given-location thing is tough, though. How can I dash next door to provide comic relief with sassy fashion advice and commiseration about boy troubles when all the other tenants in my building are straight men?
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Oh, I took it at face value, because I rarely talk to other women, except here on the board.

I work in publishing, where there are far too many women.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Most of my conversations with women at work are about my clothes, but hey! Bechdel pass, SATC style.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just had a conversation a few minutes ago with a female co-worker about PDFs.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It took me a second with Raq's post, but I sure hope it was biting sarcasm.

Totally sarcasm. Sorry for the confusion.
I mean, obviously I'm not the only woman here on b.org. And obviously I talk about many random things.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was wondering too, but I got half way through thinking "this is just sad" and then thought, "oh wait, this is Raq. Hee."

The primary time I see another woman here at work is if one of the two others happens to be in the restroom while I'm there. I'm not chatty there. 99% of the women I interact with outside of work know only kids and church as their conversational topics--or they're asking for my order. I can only think of one other woman I talk to on a regular basis, ie I see maybe once a week, and she's the wife of one of Hubby's good friends. Aside from that, there's Hubby's sister, who we see maybe once a month. Other than that I only talk to guys.

My world is submerged in women, online and off, outside of the office. Things are different with no martial arts and no improv.
