But! I write books and hang out with scientists who guest on Colbert and Craig Ferguson! And I can get all your Firefly shit autographed! I'm a total catch!
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wear comic book paraphernalia and I never leave home without a blade. Why isn't there a lineup?
Tim owes me at least two signed scripts by this point, and I don't say that much.

I mostly just seem to attract Nice Guys. And they're so angry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The *only* way? I've never explicitly looked for it, but have had periods of it dropping unasked into my lap.
On a regular basis?
I would imagine that's easier for the attractive, but still -- you can be as hot as you want and sitting at home alone isn't going to get you laid, is part of what I'm saying.

Our wings are not tired.

Me, too. I get "nice guys" who are angsty. My mantra for the dating in the future will be "under 50, no angst". The rest is negotiable. (My last two boyfriends were 15 years older. Not too bad when I was 30, but seriously I am not ready to date people nearing retirement now.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
but have had periods of it dropping unasked into my lap.
Here is how my mind works: I envisioned naked Taye Diggs falling from the sky (much like Angel did in that one episode) and landing on your lap, whereupon you remarked, "Well, hel-LO there!"
Make of that what you will. And if it ever happens, share pictures of naked Taye Diggs, please.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
When I was single, I attracted guys who were smart, nice and funny, and who wanted to be my friend so they could ask for my advice with the girls they actually liked.

Yup. It wasn't extended, but it was regular.

Yeah. I gotta get out more. Unfortunately, none of my single friends are interested in prying themselves out of the house, either.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I used to attract alcoholics and problem drinkers. Now it seems to be people with control issues and a certain level of OCD. ::shrugs:: Ooo, I did date that one Nice Guy who turned epically nasty after we broke up, including the immortal email to my sister - "Tell your fat bitch of a sister she's better off sticking with dykes, and the same goes for you." (the memory of which message now cracks me up to no end)
