Vortex, I don't make out with that many BIOBOYS. In the past like, year, I think just scola and ND. And ND's beard was all freakish and scratchy and ew.
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

Our wings are not tired.
I sort of get the guilt thing when being hit upon. Usually I feel a twinge of "oh I am so not the person you think you're hitting on" when getting hit on. I don't feel like my insides match my outsides at all.

I find it enjoyable when [almost] anyone hits on me
I ... tend to not notice? Unless it's so obvious that it could be seen from space.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why?
I'm not sure what the short version is. Possibly it boils down to the fact that I'm such crap social material right now I have no business being hit on. Even my OKCupid foray was fanned up by me thinking I was leaving town. If I can't be a good friend to people I already know and care about, what business do I have with randy boys?
At other stages of my life, I should have felt guilty because I was an unapologetic person-crusher or just opaque. But I didn't.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Still reading Bureau 1. We used to vote on thread titles? Like, with polls and everything? Thank god we came up with the bullshit consensus.

deep fried twinkies:

Oh, and this too. Whatever you see, IS A LIE.

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?

This would be why I'm still single. I tend to only notice someone hitting on me when I'm not interested. If I could potentially be interested, my brain tells me there is no way he could be interested in me, so I totally miss flirting.

And the idea that I can feel unapologetic about using whatever thread name I thought looked most popular recently AND TAKE NO SHIT. Such a relief. Keep yer resentments to yourself.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That happens to The 'Vine every time there's an article or award. A bunch of tolltaggers show up, pretty much expecting to gawk at the eclecticness of it all.
The good ones become regulars; the bad ones write a shitty review on yelp. Then it all dies back down and I know everybody in the place again.
