The main thing that keeps me from listing myself on OKCupid or some such is not being able to think of what to write in my profile. I cannot describe myself without stepping back and thinking, well, I wouldn't date me...
Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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
Men can be REALLY ANGRY about weight. Like, they're offended I exist. I have no idea how to respond. I think to myself, "I've written two books. One is published. I've had characters named after me on television shows. I've had lunch with a physics Nobel, and hang out with some of the finest scientists in the US. I've raised over 100K for various charities in the last ten years....and really, you wish I didn't exist because I wear size 14 jeans. What the fuck have YOU done with your life?"
WTF is that?

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

People are amazingly ragey and asshatty. And they can't accept that anyone other than their vision is real.
Today, K was driving and at a red light. She was turning right. The asshole behind her had his window down and was yelling invective and abuse about her not turning (in spite of the pedestrian in the cross walk). When the light turned green, she turned right. He swerved out in front of her, slammed on his breaks to block her and got out of his car to confront her. She took his picture with her blackberry, which inflamed him more. And the whole time, she wanted to be like, WTF is your problem? (she was also tempted to get out of the car and krav him. This is why krav is no good for her).
What is WRONG with people?

But she didn't krav him! So it's good! How are her classes going? God, I miss teaching.

Ugh. I'm glad the dykes on OKCupid aren't assholes. They're just kind of a pathetic lot...(I mean, the ones that email me tend to be me going "...er, no I really don't feel any desire to write back and don't understand why you wrote in the first place, though it is mostly coherent, it doesn't show you read what I'm into at all...").
And I just went on and looked all over...and the only person I was interested in emailing lived in Mesa, Arizona. Sigh.

ita, she didn't krav him this time. She did krav someone at hockey, though. It ended with a 40-year-old guy on the ice crying.
She likes level 2, but misses morning classes. The truth is, it's hard for either of us to do anything at night. Which reminds me, I should go yogaglo.
