It took me a second with Raq's post, but I sure hope it was biting sarcasm.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

move out and draw fire
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oops!
My world is submerged in women, online and off, outside of the office. Things are different with no martial arts and no improv.

Compassionately intolerant
My life is pretty much all women, all the time. Except for one couple (men) I see several times per week. At the moment, nearly all my clients are women as well.
When I'm with them...well, I can't think of the last conversation I had about men.
Present company excepted, of course.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I see many women at work, amongst them is the lovely Alibelle. I also have female friends outside of work, but I don't see many friends (male or female) one-on-one much anymore. It's usually hanging with another couple or having a few people over for dinner. Don't know if that's good or bad, just how it is.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I went to an all-girls high school and got kind of burned out on female companionship, so in college most of my friends were guys. Nowadays it's pretty much balanced out.
[Though thinking about it, most of my real-life conversations probably fail the Bechdel test because most of my offline friends are other parents, and I have a boy. Our kids aren't the only thing we talk about, but it would be unusual for the topic not to come up at all.]

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Pretty funny, Raq. Although, seriously, I'm not often the lead in my own life.
