P-C, this was shared with me recently and was helpful in a difficult time.
You alone can do this, but you don't have to do it alone.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, man, I kinda wish I was still single, just so I could reply "My chi is blocked" with a straight face whenever someone asked me why I wasn't seeing anyone.
You should totally put that in your OKC profile.
(Psst. OKC is how I met my bf, so it's not all bad, yo!)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
First, find a Fire Lord.
Second, engage him a fierce battle while bending the elements.
Third, get randomly bashed up against a pokey rock such that it unlocks your chi.
Ha.

Thanks, smonster. I appreciate it. I feel better about the situation now that I'm at least giving it the old college try and trying to find suitable Indian girls on my own.

Heh. She never used the word "chi," but that was the gist of it. "Something" is blocking me. Thursdays are evil, or something. I have to exorcise the Thursdays with this magical amulet.

I know people have had success! And I am certainly more likely to find someone my style on OKCupid than on a generic dating site. It's just disheartening to find someone that you think really ought to like you, except she looks at your profile and doesn't think you're worth responding to.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
huh, I guess my chi is SERIOUSLY blocked. I wonder which day of the week is evil for me?
o_a, that is ridiculous. If the office isn't ready, you shouldn't be there! And yet I know this kind of thing happens all the time.The company was supposed to move in back in August, but the building wasn't ready. They said Nov. 1st. Due to production schedules, my company put it off until this week. And the building is STILL not ready. The irony of it being, there are 4 elevators. Two go only to performance/audience zones. One goes to those zones PLUS admin and rehearsal zones. The fourth goes to all zones. Of course, the Production zones is where I need to go, and of course, it's the 4th cab that is FUBAR. Again. Yes, there is a design flaw or something. They are working on it, but the irony is dripping, the one person in the company that NEEDS elevators has the office on the floor that has one cab to get to it, and it's broken. As for the phone, just a SNAFU between my company and the building owners on who is providing what phones for which floors. Since my office is not on the admin level, my company thought it felt under the building jurisdiction. The building owners figure, your company people, you get the phones. And I can't disagree with that logic. Dunno what the SNAFU with the key is. They have keys for my 3 staff members, just not for me. Maybe they thought I had one? Dunno. It's moving day. Shit happens.
2. for some reason, girls are just better at paying attention to unusual break of patterns in everyday activity.I find women tend to be better mixers. They tend to be more patient, and listen better. Yes, that is a generalized observation, and doesn't hold true to everyone.

Going out for coffee with a friend just proved to be very difficult for me. I really hate my body today.

Yes, this is it.
And I forgot that Gill was called Spike (every piece of equipment has the "civic" American name and the "seekrit" Israeli-Rafael name). It usually made me smile during my days as a reporter for IDF journal. For extra awkwardness, Gill is "joy" in Hebrew.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Windsparrow, creepy coworker. May she leave soon without further incident.
Shir, your sister is a hero.
