aryk29: Hey, you didn't do the February thread yet?
aryk29:
I just posted it then.flamsterette_x: YOU were supposed to do it. Sheeesh.
flamsterette_x: Besides, I went to bed early.
aryk29: No, I was supposed to do it around 10 or 11 if I could. My DSL went down yesterday afternoon and didn't come up till this morning. I thought you were going to check at midnight and post if I didn't.
aryk29: Oh, okay then. :)
flamsterette_x: Well, I went to bed at 10:45, so there went that plan out the window. :P
aryk29: ic
flamsterette_x: And no, I did NOT dream of killing anyone.
aryk29: Why would you dream of killing anyone?
flamsterette_x: Because I want to kill these people for falling in love, and I want to kill S. for being what he is. Oh, and while I'm at it, I want to kill a bunch more people for various reasons.
aryk29: You should come play Assassins. :p
flamsterette_x: Hey, they have quick reply boxes now.
aryk29: Yeah I noticed... but you have to actually quote someone to use them.
flamsterette_x: No, you just have to click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to use it.
aryk29: Yeah, that's true too... 'cuz you can always uncheck the quote box.
flamsterette_x: Oh, and by the way... you spelled a word wrong.
aryk29: Ah, crap.
flamsterette_x: Yup. Would you like me to tell you which it was?
aryk29: No, I see it.
<= (that be the smack head smiley)
aryk29: <<--- Spoiled - too accustomed to being able to edit posts
flamsterette_x: Oh, hey. I wanted to send you something anyhow.
aryk29: I gave you my new email address, right?

aryk29 (10:54:11 AM): uh I mean 12朵梅�瑰花.pps?
flamsterette_x (10:54:25 AM): What?!
aryk29 (10:54:45 AM): It's all funny symbols.

aryk29: wb
aryk29: Hey, that's really nice! :) Except at the end where it gets all chain-lettery. :p
flamsterette_x: It's not random symbols.. it's Chinese. :P
flamsterette_x: And yes, I thought so too when Eric H. sent it to me.
aryk29: Ah, okay. I don't have the requisite fonts installed then.
flamsterette_x: Did the Chinese show up as weird symbols?
aryk29: I see 12 ae oe mu ae cents symbol underscore, c cedilla - a few more symbols that aren't legible in my hand print font - c cedilla, e grave, capital S with caron, and +/- symbol, yeah.
flamsterette_x: Actually, I see that too. I was talking about the Chinese in the slide show itself.
aryk29: No, I just see boxes.
flamsterette_x: Ah.
aryk29: I'm impressed that Messenger actually transferred the file this time, though. :p
flamsterette_x: Yahoo Messenger?! Sure it did.
aryk29: Oh, you're on Yahoo now, and not Trillian? All right! :D In that case...
aryk29: :D
flamsterette_x: Correction.
aryk29: *sigh*
flamsterette_x: I only went on real Yahoo to transfer that file. Once that was done, I switched back to Trillian.
aryk29: So you didn't see me switch my status text? *pout*
flamsterette_x: No, I did not.
flamsterette_x: Says the same thing it always did... "Custom."
aryk29: Oh well.
flamsterette_x: By the way, did you happen to read my personal thread?
aryk29: At OP?
aryk29: or SDMB?
flamsterette_x: OP.
aryk29: Haven't been there yet today...
flamsterette_x: Cheh.
aryk29: I see your post from January 21. :O :( :( :( :( :(
flamsterette_x: Uh.... lemme look......
flamsterette_x: Ah, Dave getting stabbed to death.
aryk29: Yeah, very sad to hear that. :(
flamsterette_x: Yeah.... that was a real shock. :( Thanks.
aryk29: Sure thing.
flamsterette_x: I meant the thing I posted yesterday.
aryk29: About your 2 friends getting together?
flamsterette_x: Yes! I don't know WHY it bugs me so much!
aryk29: I don't know either, but I'm sorry to hear that it does! :( Maybe if I knew them, I'd have a better idea...
flamsterette_x: No, I don't have designs on either one of them. One is a girl, and I don't swing that way. The other smokes, and that's a minus for me personally.
aryk29: So Cris would be the girl then.
flamsterette_x: But.. I had the thought that they were joking.. or even maliciously saying that they were in love and blah blah because they knew my own relationship's not going so well. (who knows) I know either isn't true, but... eek.
flamsterette_x: Yes, have you ever heard of a girl called Matt? :P
aryk29: :D For once, no.
flamsterette_x: (and no, I don't mean short for Matilda or Mattie :P)
aryk29: Ooh, I hadn't thought of that.
flamsterette_x: But yeah.. you know what would be comedy GOLD?
aryk29: What?
aryk29: (I mean... no, tell me :D )
flamsterette_x: They were both members of an LJ community called Lovers Far Away. (hereafter abbreviated to LFA for obvious reasons :P) That's how I got to know them, in fact.
flamsterette_x: But then they both had real problems with their partners at the time. His partner refused to give up a bad influence in her life, and her partner just wasn't communicating.. for over 7 weeks.
flamsterette_x: They both posted stuff in their personal journals about a "sweetie pie" they'd met. Fair enough, I thought. You move on, you find someone else.. whatever. I admit to having thought some time ago that it would be kinda neat if two people in LFA found each other through the community.
aryk29: And they did. :D
flamsterette_x: Yes, but I never thought my prescient powers would happen to two people I knew!
aryk29: Ah
flamsterette_x: (and I talk way too much.. this is why I'll never get anyone :P)
aryk29: There's someone for each of us.
flamsterette_x: Haha, I know. You've apparently found someone too. Given my current state of mind, I should want to do something to you too, but can't.
flamsterette_x: Or won't.
aryk29: I have?
flamsterette_x: Sure you have... misstee?
aryk29: She's married!
flamsterette_x: So then what in the heck are you doing.......
flamsterette_x: Never mind. I was in that situation once myself, I know how it is.
aryk29: I think it is just that she's curious. And anyway, she started it! :p :D
aryk29: By the way, I did not find the urban quiz offensive.
aryk29: Just got done taking the rest of 'em. :D
flamsterette_x: Phoenix PM'ed me, saying that I might want to slap a language warning onto it.
aryk29: Ah, I see.
flamsterette_x: Nutty doesn't like the T word. (I can't say I much care for it, either)
aryk29: Good thing for that "add edit by line" checkbox, no? ;)
aryk29: Oh ic.
flamsterette_x: Haha, I never use it.
aryk29: Except in wristwatch. :p
flamsterette_x: Alyssa always does.
flamsterette_x: Oh, haha. That reminds me of what happened on the old board, which DID censor all "objectionable" words, and allowed Viper and Nutty to create their own filter.
aryk29: I usually leave it unchecked... unless I specifically want to show when the edit took place.
aryk29: Yeah, you told me once. ;)
flamsterette_x: Oh, all right then. Wasn't sure.
flamsterette_x: Now I'm recycling old stories... must mean I'm either getting predictable, or more comfortable with you. Pick one.
aryk29: When is predictability ever a good thing? ;)
aryk29: brb
aryk29: k
flamsterette_x: k
aryk29: I mean... okay, I'm back. :D
aryk29: So food's going to be ready soon... this time, it's chicken. Mmmmmm, chicken. :D
flamsterette_x: :D
flamsterette_x: Haha, I can just imagine Homer Simpson saying that.
aryk29: Yeah, that'd be where I got it from. :D
aryk29: (Although in his case, he said chocolate... but it's all good.)
flamsterette_x: Haha, it's all good then!
flamsterette_x: Sorry I was a little snarky earlier. Didn't mean it.
aryk29: 'Sokay. :) I didn't perceive it as snarky, just that you were not in a good mood and I was sorry to hear that.
aryk29: (And I almost commiserated...)
aryk29: See, I had certain thoughts yesterday about a certain gateway server... :p
flamsterette_x: (Commiserate all you like. :) )
flamsterette_x: Which gateway server?
aryk29: The one that went out yesterday afternoon.:p
flamsterette_x: Oh yes, your DSL. :P
aryk29: ;)
flamsterette_x: I can understand. I get really annoyed when my Net service won't work for one reason or another.
aryk29: Yeah... especially when obligated to post a thread. :O Not only that, but Dad didn't get a chance to keep up on some items in eBay... it's a joke. Like I said to him, gimme dial up, I'll gladly wait for the pages to load.
flamsterette_x: Sorry. :P
flamsterette_x: Yeah, I can totally understand that.
aryk29: Yup. And hey - in IM chat, the difference in speed isn't even noticeable! :D
flamsterette_x: Definitely not! :D
aryk29: Now we're trying to figure out why AVG isn't working. I considered Pitting them, but decided against it.
flamsterette_x: AVG's not working? Aw man!
aryk29: Yeah, it won't download an update. Plus, the newest version won't run on my computer because I have NT Server installed. Like, yeah, nobody runs a domain server on their home network! *rolleyes*
aryk29: But people would probably just give me grief about: if I can afford NT server, then I can afford to pay for AVG. Which just isn't the case this time...
flamsterette_x: Yeah. So... was I right?
aryk29: ?
flamsterette_x:
About this.aryk29: I have no idea.
aryk29: I am having another dingy moment.
aryk29: Hey, a pun! :D HIC LIBER WALTONIS CUTE COMPACTUS EST - that can be read 2 different ways!
aryk29: (As "hic liber Waltonis, cute compactus est," or as "hic liber, Waltonis cute, compactus est.")
flamsterette_x: All right then.
flamsterette_x: I was obliquely referring to how people can be at the Dope.
aryk29: A Pitting?
aryk29:
It's actually an MPSIMSing. :p
flamsterette_x: No, but how certain people can be about info and cites. Which are all very well, of course.
aryk29: Ah, yeah... do I ever know about that! :O I've come to see their point of view. though... fact-based board and all that. Even so, it is still good to be able to post stuff at OP without being ready to track down a cite.
flamsterette_x: Yeah, I've come to see / understand it. But yeah, I definitely know what you mean as well.
aryk29: Happened shortly after I joined when I got my cyberbutt handed to me. But they ended up being right - all I had to do was go outside and look - so that was a major life lesson.
aryk29: You know what's odd about that MPSIMS thread? It's had no replies since I last viewed it. :O
flamsterette_x: Yeah, I've had my own lessons from that board!
flamsterette_x: Really?! Oh man.
aryk29: My turn with - well, not really a prescience but something along those lines. :D
flamsterette_x: Okay, fire away. :D
aryk29: It's almost like I knew when to read that thread. ;)
flamsterette_x: Did I tell you about it before you read it?
aryk29: No... but right after I read it the first time, I went over to OP and saw your post in Weird Stuff.
flamsterette_x: Hah! That is weird. :P

aryk29: Haha what? :D
flamsterette_x: Nothing. You're just online again. :D
aryk29: Was I off? Thought I was just away.
flamsterette_x: I don't know.. I figured your DSL had gone kaput again.
aryk29: Maybe it did... if it showed me disconnecting, then it was out for that duration of time. I've been reading message boards & stuff off and on the whole time though, and didn't notice any downtime.
flamsterette_x: Fair enough. Had nothing from you till now.
aryk29: Had nothing to say.
flamsterette_x: Fair enough.
aryk29: So I wonder if there are any new thread replies...
aryk29:
Ordinary songs that no one notices are actually creepyflamsterette_x: Like what?
aryk29: Elvis Costello's
Alison is mentioned a couple times.
flamsterette_x: Ha, even I know that one.
aryk29: What,
Alison?
flamsterette_x: Yeah.
aryk29: I cannot believe I misspelled :biggrin2:
flamsterette_x: Misspelled what?
aryk29: :biggrin2:
aryk29: (Yeah yeah, so I edited my post. :p )
flamsterette_x: OH. Haha, I've done that too.
flamsterette_x: There was this time when someone quoted me, and there was the misspelling. *smack*
aryk29: Ouch.
flamsterette_x: Yeah.
aryk29: But see, whatcha gotta do in that case is do them one better: edit your post to fix the typo, then that way... their quote is wrong. Then you can accuse them of misattributing a quote. :p
flamsterette_x: Haha.
aryk29: :D
aryk29: (I betcha that'd even fly too as long as the Edit By line was included and a wink smiley after the second post. :D )
flamsterette_x: Haha, maybe. Not that I'd do it.
aryk29: Yeah, best not to, I suppose.
flamsterette_x:
I'm NOT posting this on the boardaryk29: Ah, geez. :p
aryk29: (You caught me in the middle of a post...)
flamsterette_x: You don't have to do the quiz right away, you know! :P
aryk29: But if I don't, then I have to go looking for it... hey waiminnit - there are different kinds???
aryk29: I have no idea what AberHollisterAE is, but that's what it gave me. *shrug*
flamsterette_x: Looking for it?!
aryk29: Nope.
flamsterette_x: No.. what do you mean, you have to go looking for it?
aryk29: I don't intend to look for it. ;)
flamsterette_x: Never mind then.
aryk29: Hey, did you ever see the finger length ratio thread?
flamsterette_x: Uh... no.
aryk29: lemme dig it up...
aryk29:
Herearyk29: I measured mine back then, one hand ended up being typical for a straight guy and the other for a straight woman... I've since measured them again and somehow got different results.
aryk29: Also
here and
here.
flamsterette_x: !!!!!!! Did you read Kaitlyn's post in that thread?
aryk29: Which one, the first one I linked??? Lemme check!
aryk29: (I can't find it!!!)
flamsterette_x: Um, the second one.
aryk29: I still can't find it. Link?
flamsterette_x:
Straight Dope Message Board - View Single Post - Doper women, would you be impressed with this? (TMI)flamsterette_x: Eek. That doesn't tell you anything.
aryk29: So I was looking at the wrong thread. Okay.
aryk29: (Yeah, it does... because I read the OP and the first few replies earlier. ;) )
flamsterette_x: (I was talking about the thing I first pasted. :P)
aryk29: Heh, look at the responses! :D
flamsterette_x: I know.
aryk29: That's a fun thread. :D
flamsterette_x: I guess.
aryk29: An Anglo-Saxon poem!
flamsterette_x: Where?
aryk29: Near the bottom of page 1 of the Would You Be Impressed thread.
aryk29: So I wore my 42C to go out last night...
flamsterette_x: And?
aryk29: Nobody seemed to notice. :D
flamsterette_x: Tease. :P
flamsterette_x: I thought you said there was an Anglo-Saxon poem on that page. :(
aryk29: Nah, I just wanted to get used to the idea.
aryk29: Nope, just a joke about one.
aryk29: So anyway, I didn't have any padding in them, and I had a baggy sweatshirt overtop.
flamsterette_x: Where did you go?
aryk29: Walgreens.
aryk29: To look for one of those things that makes your waist look slimmer. But their prices are soooooooo ridiculous!
flamsterette_x: Examples.
aryk29: The ones we were looking at were $30, but they were in with the kneepads and medical / surgical stuff, so that's probably why the high price. Going to try Wal-Mart and see if they're any better.
flamsterette_x: So you were out with your parents, then?
aryk29: Yeah.
flamsterette_x: Have you talked much about this with them?
aryk29: Yeah - mostly with my mother; she's ever curious.
flamsterette_x: Would it surprise you to learn that I am also that way?
aryk29: Ever curious?
aryk29: No, no it certainly would not. :)
flamsterette_x: Yeah, that. Not that I want to be a guy because I feel out of place in this body.
aryk29: Right. I didn't think you felt out of place. :)
aryk29: Well anyway, don't hesitate to ask me anything; I'm always willing to answer questions. :)
aryk29: Meanwhile, I've discovered the joys of clear coat. :D
flamsterette_x: For?
aryk29: Nails. They're now longer than they've ever been, for the sole reason that they're not breaking off anymore.
flamsterette_x: Cut them.
aryk29: Noooooooooooo!!!!! :D
flamsterette_x: Why?
aryk29: 'Cuz I likes 'em long. Even if it gets in the way of typing; I'll just learn to keep my hands lower to the keys so that the pads of my fingers make contact.
flamsterette_x: Ah, fair enough then. I like mine trimmed. Personal preference. :)
aryk29: :) (I'm still reading the finger length ratios threads. :p )
aryk29: I must have been measuring them wrong the first time - right hand: 3 1/2 (index) to 3 3/16 (ring) now to measure the left...
aryk29: Left hand: 3 3/8 (index) to 3 3/4 (ring)
aryk29: oops... 3 1/4 (needs to learn how to read a ruler)
aryk29: so that'd be index longer than ring on both hands.
flamsterette_x: What does that say about you?
aryk29: All woman. :D (It also says straight woman, but eh umm... that's not the case at this point in time.)
aryk29: Actually it says I must have had low testosterone levels in utero. The same gene directs both finger length and hormone levels.
flamsterette_x: More evidence that you should have been born a girl, and named Erika. ;)
aryk29: Definitely, although I'd still have decided to use a different name. :p
aryk29: I suspect I still have low testosterone levels, though.
flamsterette_x: Heh, probably. Change it later on, and all of that.
flamsterette_x: Could be... any way to check for that?
aryk29: Have a blood test, which I'm sure they do somewhere along the line. I'll tell you why I think so... several reasons, ranging from mundane to TMI.
aryk29: For one thing, I don't have particularly masculine facial features, and I didn't start shaving until I was about 21 or 22
flamsterette_x: Right.
aryk29: Shall I continue? ;)
flamsterette_x: Sure.
aryk29: I think I could fill an A cup without padding.
flamsterette_x: But the C cup gives you more of a womanly feeling. ;)
aryk29: Yes, it does. :)
flamsterette_x: That is good!
aryk29: Yeah, it is. :) (Sorry, I had to get up for a minute.) It's funny because when I am in regular clothes, I usually feel kinda genderless... but I really like to feel feminine in my gal clothes.
flamsterette_x: So what are you wearing now?

flamsterette_x: Those are choices?

flamsterette_x: Ah, I see.

aryk29: Duct tape!!!!! :O
flamsterette_x: Sorry, I don't have any here. Go to the store and buy some.
aryk29:
flamsterette_x: Cheaper than my shipping you some. :P
flamsterette_x: (although I wonder just how one ships to an RV in a trailer park....)
aryk29: The park has a regular street address and the RV is in an assigned space number. They even give us mailboxes! :D But that's not important now... what's important now is that big huge quiz you posted. ;)
aryk29: umm, Google meme
flamsterette_x: Hey, cool! I'm not asking for the address, of course. :D
aryk29: Of course.
flamsterette_x: Not sure if there's a time for that, anyhow. Haha.
flamsterette_x: Uh..... what about it?
aryk29: I took the time to dig up all the cites and post to it instead of being in a hurry like I usually am. :D
flamsterette_x: Cites?! Hahaha!
aryk29: Yeah, cites. :D
flamsterette_x: For a meme?!
aryk29: Yeah, umm... wasn't that the idea?
flamsterette_x: Not cites, as such. But certainly links.
aryk29: What's the difference?
flamsterette_x: Eh, none really. But it's quirky that you'd choose the word "cites."
aryk29: Been reading too much SDMB is all. :D
flamsterette_x: Thought so.
flamsterette_x: Now. Duct tape?
aryk29: Read my post! :p
flamsterette_x: Don't tell me you had to construct it with duct tape. :P
aryk29: 'Fraid so. :D
flamsterette_x: Seen it. :P
aryk29: :D
flamsterette_x: You've not heard of people who make things out of duct tape?!
aryk29: You mean you can actually construct an entire pair of sandals out of duct tape???
flamsterette_x: I don't know about THAT....
flamsterette_x: but......
aryk29: But? But?
flamsterette_x: (he messaged me, but thank goodness I didn't have to deal with answering him! :P)
aryk29: Meanwhile, I'm just checking boners.com
flamsterette_x: Sorry, had to distract myself with aspirin. :P
aryk29: ic :(
flamsterette_x: It's not that his messages give me a headache *or* that it's TMT, but I have a headache regardless. :P
aryk29: Yeah, that's what I mean... sorry to hear about your headache. Whose messages, and what's TMT?
flamsterette_x: Stephen's. :P That monthly time. ;) :P
aryk29: Oh okay, I understand. :)
flamsterette_x: LJ not letting you post replies to threaded comments? ;)
That's true. I am happy for them, but... yeah.. *sigh*
"Smoopy poopy" probably has its place, but shouldn't be employed ALL the time. Working on changing those things in myself that shouldn't be there... it's a long, hard process. Thanks, though. :)

flamsterette_x: Using this as a clipboard of sorts, haha.
aryk29: You showed me that once before...
flamsterette_x: Did not.
aryk29: Oh
aryk29: Yes, you did, it's familiar!
flamsterette_x: When!?
aryk29: I don't remember, but I know I've seen that before!
flamsterette_x: What?! I only just typed that out just now!
aryk29: Call it prescience? Or maybe just plain old deja vu?
aryk29: :D
flamsterette_x: Ha. You're just playing with my mind. Aiya.
aryk29: No, I'm serious. :)
flamsterette_x: OMG
flamsterette_x: HE FINALLY RESPONDED TO AN EMAIL! AAAAA!!!
aryk29: w00t!
flamsterette_x: THE WORLD HAS BEEN ROCKED ON ITS FOUNDATIONS!
flamsterette_x: (okay, not really :P)
aryk29: But good news nonetheless! :D
flamsterette_x: Yes! I've been frustrated because of... well, many reasons. But he never responds to emails, so I wasn't expecting this. No matter how I may or may not feel about him now, this is good. :D

aryk29: Why, what's the quiz called - "are you a man or a woman"? :D
aryk29: Oh, that reminds me!
flamsterette_x: Haha, no.
aryk29: I initially got a different result on the '80s band quiz. Had to go back and change some of my answers.

flamsterette_x: Haha, okay then. :D
aryk29: Hey - if you found and posted a quiz based on the Moir-Jessel test, I'd gladly and accurately report my results. :D
flamsterette_x: The which?
aryk29: Moir-Jessel. Tells ya how male or female your brain is.
flamsterette_x: Haha. Why don't you go find it? :P
aryk29: Very well. ;)
flamsterette_x: Only because you brought it up, hehe.
aryk29:
Heard of it??
aryk29: A few of the questions I am not sure of... so depending on how I fudge them, it gives me a result (in the "born male" column) of anywheres from 45 to 90, so I can't vouch for its accuracy... but it's a fun quiz to take, IMO. (And if you're wondering why I haven't posted it, it's because of the URL. And the graphics on the page.)
flamsterette_x: The URL would be a problem, yeah. I don't wonder on that account alone. The graphics look like clouds to me... unless there's some hidden meaning.
aryk29: No hidden meaning, but it is bright pink with an icon representing TG-ism at the top.
flamsterette_x: Ah, so that's what the little thing is. Right.
aryk29: ;)
flamsterette_x: Oh, now what is THIS supposed to mean? :P
aryk29: What is what supposed to mean?
flamsterette_x: Normal Male in Overlap Range
You score within the expected bounds of the average male, but within the overlap range of 50 to 60 which indicates a thought compatibility between the sexes. Most males will score between 0 and 60.
aryk29: Read the other column. ;)
flamsterette_x: I did!
aryk29: It doesn't ask what you were born with, instead giving 2 answers. You're supposed to disregard the one that's not appropriate.
flamsterette_x: Heh.. well, at least I'm normal? haha
aryk29: Why, what'd you get? :D
flamsterette_x: Normal Female
You score within the expected bounds of the average female. Most females will score between 50 and 100.
aryk29: Do you know my mother took this one for kicks and got a score of 40?
flamsterette_x: Aiya.
aryk29: She's less feminine than I am. :p
flamsterette_x: No comment. :P
aryk29: Meh, I take it in good humor. :)
flamsterette_x: Fair enough. :)
aryk29: And there are so many threads on the subject! I'm reading
this one right now.
flamsterette_x: Cool.
flamsterette_x: Maybe I can read this too? Not sure if it applies to me, but I guess I can learn? Who knows, haha.
aryk29: It never hurts to read a thread, if it is of interest to you. :)
flamsterette_x: True.
flamsterette_x: Upon reading it, I must say that I really had lots to think about that Saturday during Awana right after I read your thread!
aryk29: I can imagine.
flamsterette_x: *is NOT posting to the Gender Confusion Thread*
aryk29: Me either. I was going to, but Arwin linked to the Pit thread in hopes of not hijacking any further...
flamsterette_x: But ultimately, what I came out with was: You're still my friend, no matter what you may feel about your gender idientity. I mean, you're still YOU at the core... whether you be man, woman, something-in-between, or an alien from the planet Zoltan. ;)
aryk29: Right, and that was pretty much what Strangelove said in his (?) OP - but still it's good to hear it from ya. :)
flamsterette_x: Yeah, pretty much that. You may have heard it before, but it's good to hear it again.
aryk29: :)
aryk29: I find myself in agreement with hajario and Lord Ashtar in the Pit thread.
flamsterette_x: What did they say?
aryk29:
Here.aryk29: To paraphrase: why should one continue to read threads that bother them?
flamsterette_x: True enough.
aryk29: Especially when their response is usually a verbal *thud* sans context. :D
flamsterette_x: Yeah, you kind of need context to it, especially there.
aryk29: *yawn* that's a hard read... I'm going to have to go back to it later. *blink*
flamsterette_x: Good idea.
aryk29: It's late afternoon, and as usual I'm tired. :D Which is odd since it's sunny out.
flamsterette_x: So you're only tired when it's not sunny out. Gotcha.
flamsterette_x: I'll get back to you when it's raining. ;)

aryk29: I was just discussing with another friend the possibility of designing a VB program that tests word recognition in both brain hemispheres. I think there might be a gender correlation with such a task.
flamsterette_x: I don't know anything about that. But it might be interesting. ;)
aryk29: Yeah I'd need volunteers who would take it. :D
flamsterette_x: Ha. First, you'd have to devise the test.

flamsterette_x: Which one did you not understand?
aryk29: The hardcore band one.
flamsterette_x: It's okay. It's cool. :D
aryk29: k :)
flamsterette_x: So what are you going to do if someone calls you on that quiz result?
aryk29: I dunno. :D
aryk29: Part of me wants to stop beating around the bush and just be open about it. Ironically, it's the same part that is tired of trying to figure myself out.
flamsterette_x: What would happen if you were open about it?
aryk29: Probably nothing bad. I'd be concerned how others would feel and react.
aryk29: I'd want to think of the best way to say it though.
aryk29: I've also considered waiting until I have a picture ready, or waiting for a professional diagnosis.
flamsterette_x: True enough. Those things might be helpful.
flamsterette_x: You know me and nutty, though... we're not saying a thing.
aryk29: Much appreciated. :)
flamsterette_x: Not a problem. :D
aryk29: 'Cuz on one hand I could mention the BSTc and give my suspicions about mine... or I could just say something like: don't fit in as a guy, trying being a gal instead... or if I had a professional diagnosis I could say guess what I have GID.
flamsterette_x: BSTc?
aryk29: Basal stria terminalis. I'm not sure what the "c" is for but it's specifically the bed nucleus or something like that.
flamsterette_x: Ah.
aryk29: There's a cite that DocCathode keeps handy that explains all...

But believe me, I'm concerned too... shoot, sometimes I scramble to get the heck out of the bathroom if a guy is in there singing or grunting (have to use the men's restroom / showers here) because I might be giving off unconscious cues that I'm "something else"... umm, guess I really have that flight response when something creeps me out.
aryk29: (and FTR, that's when I'm not trying to look like a woman)
flamsterette_x: Yeah, I guess you can never tell what would happen. Although I suppose your "flight response" would save you from some sticky situations.
aryk29: Probably.

aryk29: It's okay, really - you have every right to be concerned. :) And I would not go out alone, nor defenseless, and would make sure to be as passable as I can.
flamsterette_x: No, I don't think you would.. I'm sure you've researched this out more thoroughly than someone who has only a casual (if semi-vested) interest in it.
aryk29: To the extent that I can between internet downtime, the cat having to be brought in / put outside, and having to lay down and stretch out so my back doesn't kill me. :p
flamsterette_x: I know what you mean. :P
aryk29: Heh, I just read that post more carefully. It was commented in the January 1996 issue of
Discover Magazine. I'm sure I have that issue... somewhere.
flamsterette_x: Really? Hm. Neat.
aryk29: (Although I did stop trusting the magazine more recently)
flamsterette_x: Why?

Reference.flamsterette_x: Haha, nice sig: "How to microwave soup: Get can of soup, Place can in microwave, Set microwave power to "high," Set microwave timer to 30 minutes, Sound of explosion indicates soup is ready."
aryk29: Whose is that?
flamsterette_x: Inoshiro.
aryk29: Ah, okay. :) Anyway,
Discover tried to pawn off a 20-year-old and mostly disputed theory as the latest newest thing in science. Good news is, in subsequent issues, I have not seen that particular columnist write anything new.

flamsterette_x: "That" refers to my getting disconnected mid-conversation just when you were going to go into stealth mode. Now I'm the one who can't access Zenhex.com .. weird. :P

aryk29: Hey, if you want to, come join me and brtfnk over at OP chat. :)
*** Auto-response sent to aryk29: I am currently away from the computer.
flamsterette_x: Nobody's ever there when I show up, so WHY BOTHER? :P
aryk29: Cuz now would be an exception. ;)
flamsterette_x: I'm viewing the results of a random poll. Can't. :P
flamsterette_x: Told you.
aryk29: :D
aryk29: I am going to close Messenger so as not to divide my time between two chat windows. :)
flamsterette_x: ACK
flamsterette_x: what happens if I want to talk to you?!
aryk29: umm... hmm...
flamsterette_x: Ha, got you there.
aryk29: okay, I'll leave it open... but if I'm slow to respond it's 'cuz OP chat doesn't have an audible alert.
flamsterette_x: that's fine.
aryk29: so d'ja hear what happened at the SDMB?
flamsterette_x: Stage Manager?
flamsterette_x: aesiron linked to a couple of posts in his journal, but they'd been closed / moved by the time I got around to checking them out
flamsterette_x: Okay, she left. Let's leave.

flamsterette_x: ?
aryk29: umm, what I heard was one poster admitted to being a sex offender, something to do with a 14-year-old and some threads were moved to an inaccessible area of the board pending police and lawyer action.
aryk29:
have you been to ATMB lately? :Oflamsterette_x: I saw his admission of being a sex offender. Anything else, I didn't.
aryk29: hmm... well, I don't know what the fuss was about specifically, but Dex said in a couple of days, they'd reveal it.
flamsterette_x: Saw that one yesterday.
aryk29: oic. well, knocking on wood here.
flamsterette_x: k
flamsterette_x: Heh, you can never tell.
aryk29: yeah
aryk29: first message board I ever joined, and until recently, the one with my highest post count
aryk29: (can't believe my OP posts outnumber my SDMB posts!)
flamsterette_x: Haha, really?
aryk29: yup
aryk29: somewhere in the 1920s (heh) vs. 16-something. :D
flamsterette_x: Ha, my OP posts are about twice the number of my SD posts.
aryk29: yeah. just as many threads, but the community is closer-knit :D
aryk29: not long ago I was delighted to have >1000 posts, now I have 3 post counts that are in the 4 digits!
aryk29: total across all 3 is 4830 even :-D
aryk29: your 2 board total is 16393
flamsterette_x: neat
aryk29: even counting all the boards I've ever posted on, my total is still less than your SDMB post count. :p
flamsterette_x: <--- posts too much
aryk29: <--- has too much free time :p
aryk29: 1930 - 1663 = 267; 1663 - 1237 = 426... the SDMB is a relatively close second...
aryk29: brb
aryk29: made myself a rum Pepsi. :D
flamsterette_x: eek
aryk29: what eek?
flamsterette_x: rum Pepsi?
aryk29: yeah... I don't usually like rum colas, but had a taste for one a couple days ago
flamsterette_x: This is coming from the same person who told me a few months ago that (ack...) he wouldn't drink anything alcoholic because the parents would pick up on it. Nice turn-around. :P
aryk29: when did I say that???
aryk29: oh wait, I remember
aryk29: I said I wouldn't drink an entire bottle of tequila 'cuz then I'd have a lot of explaining to do. LOL
aryk29: Or maybe it was brandy
flamsterette_x: Haha. Whatever it was, I certainly remember that!
aryk29: yeah
aryk29: this one has 2 shots of rum in it and I'm halfway through drinking it. :D
aryk29: probably going to bed as soon as it's done... don't want to keep my parents awake
flamsterette_x: Heh, good idea.
aryk29: caffeine + sugar + alcohol: not the ideal combination for someone who is chronically thirsty. :p
aryk29: okay then... g'night! :)
flamsterette_x: Haha, I bet not.
flamsterette_x: Night.
