The problem I have with trusting my instincts is that I cannot always tell instinct from passing thoughts that I like the sound of.
This.
I have pretty good instincts but poor impulse control. And sometimes I confuse the two.
I am so glad C is physically okay, Kristin. I hope she's okay mentally too. How frightening.
What are people doing this weekend?
This is one of our few weekends of the summer where we don't have any social obligations. So, we may go see a movie and possible do some unpacking and cleaning.
To clarify - when I'm talking about instincts, I mean WRT to chemistry or physical attraction or what have you. In my life, when I have ignored that and dated someone hoping that the attraction would grow, it did not.
What are people doing this weekend?
Working, two dates, house stuff, errands, and cleaning up kitten poo.
What are people doing this weekend?
My sister is coming to visit, so I expect I'll be painting a room or two.
Brave 3D in a little bit; tomorrow, church and brunch and more movies; throughout, dishes and cleaning.
Happy Teppyday! We're all very glad you were born.
Completely unrelated to anything else, cupcake Goth Minnie Mouse ears. This is a thing in the world; I totally never even imagined.

Birthday birthday birthday!
Actually, I'm not doing a ton of stuff. I went to see Avengers yesterday as a pre-birthday thing (although I would have seen it even if it were months away from my birthday). Tim and I are going out for sushi tonight and then meeting friends at our favorite gay-friendly bar (I have a hard time describing it to people -- it's not Gay! Bar! Gay people only!; it's basically a neighborhood bar over in Northern Kentucky -- like your basic corner bar with a pool table and a patio and occasionally a band, but it's got the Pride flag out front and just has kind of a funky, everyone-is-welcome-here [except bigots] vibe).
Also, the Ulta store has a brow bar and people who belong to their frequent shopper club (or whatever it's called) get a free brow wax on their birthday, which I desperately need. So I am going to drive all the way up to where my office is, just to get my brows wrangled. Because -- free!
Tomorrow, I really have to get a new cell phone. Mine has been on life support for 6 months at least.
Happy Birthday, Teppy!
Happy Teppyday! We're all very glad you were born.
Thank you! It's nice when one's birthday falls on a weekend.
Happy birthday, Steph! Sounds like a fun one.

I have come to think of that as pheromones, not instinct. Good guide to attraction, not nearly so accurate at identifying a workable relationship.
I have learned time and again that I SHOULD trust my instincts, they are right...but the problem is, so often I don't WANT them to be right, and so I tell myself I'm wrong...
Had a terrible headache last night, napped and took painkiller and still had it. But by god, it's PRIDE this weekend, so I had to hit up the bar for dancing! So I went, thinking maybe I wouldn't dance, and maybe a drink would help the headache. And while the drink(s!) didn't really do much for the headache, they did a bit, and I danced some with friends and with someone who was visiting from out of town....AND, MysteryGirl was there! And I started talking to her, and while she didn't remember my name or anything, she definitely remembered me and we chatted and chatted...and eventually she went and I thought she was getting another drink, but she said she was closing her tab, and I was like "so does that mean we're not going to make out?" and she was like "Um, you wanna make out?" and I was all "Um, yes". So we did. :)
