that really depends on the gal. Roommate tends to get pissy and confrontational - so much so that she will give me warning beforehand most of the time. (one time i was kinda jokingly messing with her before class started - something that normally wouldn't bug her too much - and she essentially just said really seriously that she could beat me in a fight so i should stop. that in turn pissed me off and we didn't speak much till she apologized later in the day) I just get tired and low energy so I'm probably less willing to argue with someone but more likely to be frustrated. Just sort of boring to be around cuz i don't want to go out. but yeah, i wouldn't take it as a totally unjustified excuse? it can definitely affect someone's mood, not only because of hormones or whatever but just cuz they're feeling bad/awful depending on how it is for them. that being said, i don't think most women will get mad for no reason if that's not part of their personality, so if they're pissed off something is probably still wrong (even if it's a bunch of little things have gotten bottled up and are being released then or something)
be ever vigilant
yeah, i generally only reply constantly if i'm doing absolutely nothing? like waiting for class to start or for it to be time to leave for class. during what i like to call "the awkward 10 minutes" where there's not time to do anything but it's too much time to sit there staring at the wall. or sometimes i'm just in the right mood or i find the conversation particularly interesting or important
ah, doesn't sound that weird to me but i'm one of the nerds haha
hmmm depends what i'm brainstorming for? Mostly I do comics and those aren't hard to come up with because they're things that you just think of and strike you as funny... like, I don't go looking for them. In fact, my friends here often will hear me groan when I think of one because I don't always like drawing them haha. But they're just little strips so yeah. For papers for school I tend to take a bunch of notes on whatever my topic is and pull important points from my research and put them in a document. Then I'll make an outline based on what seems like the natural order for things... I guess I really like to write stuff down? I've vague plans for a comic with an actual story but i've only really done one true brainstorming session for it where I just started writing what I knew I wanted to happen and then I wrote a bunch of questions about what I didn't know to try and come up with the most natural answers for these things. That was actually pretty enjoyable but it's rare for me to take the time to do that kind of thing for some reason... I'm better at sparing time to draw up character designs and for those i just kind of... guess and check for what looks right? while keeping in mind the notion that whatever they look like should say something about them.
it's not a matter of whether or not they understand it though... like, i think the problem is that women think that a guy will understand what they mean because they would understand it if it was said to them? or they think they would anyways.
no, definitely not those things. but people love to attribute those things to brain chemistry regardless
maybe she is one of those people who just doesn't go in for social media? or there are a bunch of eriksons and it's just impossible to find her as it is impossible to find me on facebook
there is this remarkable but smelly viscous liquid known as sunscreen that we are quite fond of. what kind of job requires a tank top uniform? also i guess it's a CA stereotype but people worry about getting farmer's tans/weird tan lines and non-tank tops create these.

It sounds like it highlights you in a status without any sleep. Friend fights are not fun fights. (unless they are) Thank you for this possibly-awkward information. I will use it for reference if I should need it. Do you ever find it weird that human bodies naturally do this? I mean, you are genetically programmed to not have a fun time once a month for a large portion of your life.
The awkward few minutes has sometimes lapsed into the beginning of class or other duties for me. I've been rushing to work more than a few times because I thought I had enough time to reply to what you said, but I spend more time than I thought writing. I think in that case that it is worth it.
I like that process. Do what comes naturally and orderly work through the rest.
What is this comic you speak of?
Guys do understand, they just don't like it. This is something that I feel I'll have to offer my input on from the opposite side of cultural gender expectations. To most guys, not telling them directly says a mixture of things, mostly that the other person is dishonest and thinks that the guy they are speaking to is stupid. Now I know that the latter is not intended and the former is the result of the situation, but the information is not interpreted by the recipient in the same way the woman intended for it to be. I think this can best be explained by this analogy: being told that your resume is good, but not right for the position despite no criteria being given, then leaving you without any feedback on how to improve with the suggestion that you not apply again there or elsewhere. That is about how a guy feels about that.
I think it might be both.
I have heard of this liquid and the legendary SPF. Sun Protection Force sounds like the name of a group of superheroes piloting giant robots against monsters hellbent on extinguishing our only light source, probably by eating it somehow. I have a farmer's tan, but people here actually assume I am a farmer. XD I just have to work outside a lot in uniform (short-sleeve button-up shirt tucked into long black slacks). Construction workers and farmers wear tank tops to work.

no problem haha, it's something that probably shouldn't be that awkward to talk about because it's a bodily function kinda thing but yeah. i find that no one wants to be the first to bring it up when girls are talking but once it is brought up everyone has something to say.
there are a couple theories as to why menstruation is a thing. i think the one my evolution-teaching professor was most convinced by was that maintaining the uterine lining all the time like most mammals do would actually be more effort than shedding it once a month. something like that anyways. but it's kinda weird yeah. and extremely annoying and potentially embarrassing. it makes more sense in the context of more traditional societies because you don't have it when you're pregnant or lactating which is a state that most women used to pretty much constantly be in.
haha, that's sweet. i feel bad my texts are always so hurried. texting is... convenient but it takes so long to type that i often rush through it
it is... i wonder if i have mentioned it to you? i have some weird idea for a parody (that's not quite the right word but i can't think of it) of the minotaur myth
i'm not trying to say it's the right way to handle giving a no - just that the intentions aren't necessarily bad. It means they don't want to hurt your feelings and aren't sure how to handle the situation. i know guys don't really take it that way (as said communication class covered that as well)
what good would eating a sun do you unless you were a black hole?
i have somewhat of one as well and it bothers me when i wear tank tops =B

That is indeed the only time I've ever heard it brought up. A guy can't mention it without a lot of awkward looks and girls often avoid it when around guys. I've had a few very honest conversations about human nature with some of my friends here, but we never touch a few subjects because we have a gentle flower (and he knows it) among us. He flinches if he hears swearing and goes completely silent if you do anything "demonic" around him (he's the one I told you about where we liked writing 666 on his board, drawing hoofed things and listening to Voltaire around; his other religious friends thought it was hilarious). Couldn't that be proven really easily? I mean, look at the energy/resource expenditure in humans in other mammals and then compare it to the amount used after the opposite effect has been induced by medication (after understanding the medication, of course). I think it would be better for the body to just leave it be and then only kick it into full gear when it sensed a need. And for clarification, I don't mean that the need would be during intercourse, because that would make the situation all the more awkward. 0_0
I am sorry that you must live with this stuff. If it makes you feel better, I as a male have no biological equivalent to this process. And now because I feel better, you can feel better about it. XD
You know, I can't think of a single old story where they even use a euphemism for it. I've heard a lot of old names for menopause, but not one for menstruation. Imagine that, at the time you could live without ever having to experience such unpleasantness and all you had to do was repeatedly have children taking up all of your belly and essentially live in a bed if you were of the gentile class. That seems like a fair trade, say I, the up-to-twentieth-century-man, as I remove my pipe and sit on my chair while thirteen children hang about on my wife who is aged twenty and nine. I don't think I would like that time period after living in a world with the values of today.
They make sense to me. So long as I understand it and you're not communicating any secret plots, it's okay by me.
Do you type on your phone for everything or do you use your computer when it is available?
I know the word you are thinking of, but the only thing I can think of is "cover." Variation. Alteration. Change. Redo. Tribute. Imitation. Immolation (that one is just fun to say and not at all related). Gaahhhhhhhh, I don't know what the word is. You have also not mentioned it before.
Yeah. It's just... weird. The intent, interpretation, everything. On both sides, including when the reverse happens. Shall we say that humans simply don't know how to handle relationships without a fixed code to live by? (Indians have relationships easy, what with the whole arranged business, haha)
It is a monster thing. It is best not to question their ways because then you will end up going on an extensive adventure of self-discovery and you probably don't have time for that right now. It involves a large cast and likely a battle in which some ancient secret is revealed that completely rewrites history.
Someone shall point to you and say "Haha! Look at her! She has more skin exposed than normal and it has not received the power packed taste of the sun in equal measure! Tralala." c:
I've got a cross-country picture from high school where I got a farmer's tan over the summer from working out in a t-shirt and shorts. This isn't the funny part. The funny part is that the race uniforms we have to wear are tank tops with a large neck hole and short-shorts, you know, for ease of movement and breathing (or for feeling utterly naked in October in the rain). I am striped like one of those vanilla and chocolate pudding cups. XD

ok i went an looked up my notes on the theory thing. just for you. it was so hard, i had to search the word "menstruation" on my computer and open the only two documents containing it.
anyways, the basic gist of the idea is that the cyclical growth and retreat of the uterine lining is universal in all mammals but most mammals don't actually lose blood - they just reabsorb the lining - and out of the ones that bleed, humans bleed the most by far (yayyy humaansss. humannnsss and anything related to birth are just so awesommme) but so yeah, humans have a really bulky endometrium (the lining) and it's too bulky to absorb and too costly to maintain so it's shed. this saves energy for the body. Primates with costly infants (big ones that take a lot of energy to create), such as humans, have been found to have more external bleeding.
the other main idea is that it's a non-adaptive consequence/by-product of something else that happened in uterine evolution
i feel like there's a lot of euphemisms for it though?? "time of the month" or "on the rag" come to mind. i heard a new one the other day - "female shark week." actually come to think of it, i don't think i've ever heard of one for menopause.
as a bonus, an increased number of total menses is linked with an increased rate of breast cancer. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
i have a dumb phone so i am always using my computer if it's not a text. one time, i mentioned in class that i didn't have "some super-phone" and for the rest of the class we addressed smart phones as super phones
immolation. yes, definitely.
i'll tell you more about it on skype or something. i couldn't remember if i told you or not because we talk about stories sometimes and i did tell another friend and i get confused who i tell what and end up repeating myself a lot. anyways, it's kinda a silly thing.
ohhh i dunno, i could see arranged marriages getting pretty weird with mixed signals. that sounds like some kind of weird sitcom.
that sounds like a lovely image

How sweet of you to dig around in uncomfortable notes for me. c:
But how does the body then justify keeping it up for roughly a month and rebuilding it? Doesn't that take energy, too? Or are repairs more costly than the startup over time?
Those are more modern ones that really only show up in the last century, possibly because people were willing to actually write about it. I like the shark week thing. XD Though hollywood has taught me that instead of grouping together and eating fish, it would be more like going alone and feasting on chocolate. Is that universal as well? (I know a lot of women come through the grocery store looking haggard and purchasing a metric ton of chocolate)
The ones for menopause are basically analogous to "old maid," "time past her prime," "the warming" and even thoughts that hot flashes were early previews of hell (a woman's job was to produce children and once no longer able to do so she had to have some other purpose in Christian tradition, thus the heat was a warning not to falter in faith). You get some recognizable sexist things out of early modern literature.
You mean that if a person isn't having children they have an increased risk of getting cancer in a part of their body that is only necessary for children? I think humans got on the wrong evolutionary bus at some point. Like, it got us where we needed to be, but only after stopping in several shady neighborhoods and running a few lights.
I used a flip phone for a very long time until my parents told me it was time to let it die and switched me to a foldout phone (one layer over a keyboard). It is technically a dumb phone because it can no none of the things smart phones can. I am okay with that because I, too, type on my computer whenever possible. It took me long enough just to be able to type quickly on that little phone interface. Super phone implies that it can shoot lasers or vibrate fast enough to pass through walls... Can they?
That sounds like a spot of fun. 
America's newest sitcom, straight from India, "So I Married a Man Twice My Age and Now I have to Bear His Children or I'll get Thrown on the Street by My Family?"
My face is tan, my neck is tan, my legs up to my knees are tan, and my arms up to the normal sleeve line are tan. The rest of me looks like it spent the summer attempting photosynthesis with a computer screen. XD

i'm not sure why exactly there must be a cycle in the first place (i forget my bio lessons - probably something to do with ovulation) but apparently, since that is common to all mammals, humans have to do it too, and shedding and rebuilding is easier than reabsorbing (reabsorbing all of it anyways, part of it must be absorbed, i'm sure).
chocolate is good all the time. i'm not sure about cravings for fish.
flashes of hell, haha, wonderful
evolution is like that. you work with what you got i guess. like giraffes. giraffes really shouldn't only have 7 vertebrae in their necks. and humans should not have a pelvis that is smaller than a baby's head.
a slidey-phone? i have a slide-phone with a keyboard thing. it does the job.
i don't know. i've never had one - you should ask the people at the store
technically most marriages throughout history have been arranged. sounds more like game of thrones really. that's not a sitcom. a sitcom of that would be highly amusing to see though.
i can blind people with my legs. my arms are tan though so if i put my arm next to my leg it looks really weird. although over the summer i've been wearing shorts and i must have achieved some tanning on my legs because i can see a flip-flop tan line on my feet.

The cycle has always happened. The cycle is integral to mankind. We do not break the cycle. The cycle was created by Reapers. Therefore you are living with the decisions of heartless machines. It's the only explanation. (though I don't think I could tell a professor that I started playing Mass Effect because it taught me about menstruation XD oh, invisible sky god, that would be awkward)
We'll leave all the other weird cravings to pregnant people. I like how as a society we are completely okay with the fact that pregnant women can eat anything they want and it isn't weird. When you do it in high school people just call you weird. (I had a friend that ate cheetos, beef jerky and strawberry milk all mixed together; he was mildly allergic to strawberries so I know this was compulsive)
It's much harder to explain away using myth if the person is an atheist.
Think about what it would be like if you did have a larger pelvis. We'd have to make larger doors to accommodate peoples' butts. And bigger seats and different sizes of clothing... Plus you'd have all your internal organs in different places, much like in apes, and also like apes you'd probably have a gut at all times to hold your intestines and stuff. Now think back to the way it was before with a small pelvis that allows you to do flexible things and move quickly. For all its benefits, it has only one, remarkably notable, downside. Wouldn't you rather have an active life than a body built specifically for delivering bebehs?
Yes, slidey-phone is a million times more technical. It is a good phone.
Arranged or forced.
"I have to hand it to you, Jaime." *laugh track* "You really know how to slay the women."
"My sword has been known to do so."
"Aye, it's just too bad our sister is the one to hold it." *laugh track*
(was that sufficiently inappropriate for the show?)
I read that as though you were blinding people with your legs and I wondered how that was possible and then I saw the part about tanning again and this makes you seem less like you are attacking peoples' eyes with your legs because that would just be silly and highly inefficient. *deep breath* I thought you went to the beach? Swimming in Florida taught me that it is physically impossible to avoid first degree tanning on the ocean (and a week of peeling your arms like scratch-off lotto tickets).

that'll just be my head canon now - it's the reaper's faults
that is indeed an odd mix. Everyone has their weird food thing they like. I like ketchup on mashed potatoes. Roommate likes french fries dipped in chocolate milkshapes.
in regards to being able to walk upright vs. being able to have an easier pregnancy what comes to mind is this 24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3k…
that would be terrible and i would watch it.

in regards to tanning at norcal beaches i want you to go to my facebook page and look at my cover image and tell me what the sky looks like. that was taken at the beginning of summer.

And you will remember it many times a year.
That's not weird. That's like putting ketchup on prepubescent french fries. I have known people who make this salt+chocolate+milk+potatoes mix and while I cannot say that I love it, it isn't bad.
I don't know if I like anything that people would consider particularly weird. I tend to like strange foods, like pumpkin, acorn squash, lamb, sweet potatoes, sweet corn, strawberries, raspberries, and others. I know some of those aren't strange, but I ran out of obscure foods to mention and I kind of just kept writing. (also, I just noticed that you wrote "milkshapes" and now I wonder how many shapes the containers come in; google says the answer, at least in syndicated sales, is not many)
But then where would you put it? You could get a hunch, I guess. That would be a totally efficient place for starting and ending the process. You know, I've seen a lot of parents coming in with kids strapped to their chests lately. Have you considered this as an option? Then you'd be hunched in a different way and need a lot of reinforcement in the thoracic cavity. I think your quest for both may be futile unless we somehow learn to make smaller humans or start laying eggs. Evolution will still probably make the eggs like in that one bird I can't think of right now but its eggs take up over half its body.
I am a screenwriter! Yayyyyyy. I like this Ooh! They put the plzs back where they ought to be.
How do you do that? I can hit myself in the eyes with my knees, but it would be hard to hit another person. Have you considered just waving them around at people and slapping them with your shins? I understand that is a sound combat strategy for some species that lack arms or teeth or claws. You know, I guess it only works for those strange creatures that evolution decided could live with what they had and damn the consequences if they somehow met even a somewhat threatening competitor. They'd probably die to a species of horse that only developed super aggressive gums.
There is no sky. I see only sea. Gray sea. Your land has no sun. How do you liiiiiiiiive? Do you have plants? Would people bet me to start a solar power company there?

one of my friends will eat something salty. and then sweet. and then salty. and then sweet. and just does that throughout the day.
yeah, i'm afraid strawberries don't really make the "weird" cut
a hunch is an interesting idea but we'd probably have to go way back into out evolutionary history to set ourselves on that path.
and that would be the kiwi. and i think it's 2/3rds not half.
i carry around an articulated skeleton in my backback and i take it out and stab people with it's knees.
we do have plants, yes. plants like redwood trees which get their source of water from fog. there was actually some big solar power company here that obama visited when he was going around during the bailout or whatever and some money went to this company and then it totally bombed and everyone was all mad at obama.

That is actually not a bad way of doing it. One builds a more favorable response for the other, like how they put salt in cookies.
Strawberries are weird if you've ever had a class discussion on their literary significance in Tess of the D'Urberville's.
I think it would also be uncomfortable and possibly damage that nice thing we call a spine. They could also be where the kidneys are. I poked myself in the kidney space and decided this was a bad idea.
It is a kiwi? Darn it, that's what I was going to guess until I went "I probably don't want to state false information because I am a perfectionist and it will bother me," but I went ahead on the size because it was relative. 2/3rds is worse. The bird would look like those turkeys we force feed until they are sufficiently prepared to celebrate the holiday of pilgrims and people with smallpox from the pilgrims.
Kwacha!
Their branches are really just giant airborne roots. I like these trees. Some day I want to see a redwood or a sequoia just to say "that's a big tree" and call it good.
How would that even be his fault? He cannot control the sun. Or can he? What else isn't he telling us?? But really, that's a weird reason to be mad. Was the company supposed to bring economic prosperity and it didn't get enough support? I had also never heard of it until now.

i've never had a class discussion on their significance because i've never read that =B
but then the spine would be appropriately adapted for it maybe but probably not really because look where we are now thanks to evolution
hey look this is cool farm8.staticflickr.com/7199/69… alternatively this one looks more uncomfortable lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CAA… terrifying to think about but cool
We have state parks for people who want to say "that's a big tree" - lots of 'em. you can even drive through some of the big trees and take pictures next to slices that came out of really big ones.
I think the company name was solyndra - they were making solar panels differently from normal somehow - wiki says the price of some part of the differentness suddenly changed on them and they couldn't compete with the regular ol' solar panels. i dunno what's up with the obama bit specifically but they apparently used up half a billion dollars before they went bankrupt

It is an interesting book that I liked more than my class did. It was a shame that I couldn't say so when the overwhelming verdict was "this book was weird." And before I get started explaining my previous statement, allow me to state that I do not associate this book's definition of strawberries with the fruit in my daily life.
In short, a young woman is raped by a man she thought was her cousin who would marry her and raise her family's estate in hard times. She was wrong and her family disowned her for not being careful and getting stuck with a child outside of wedlock. The child dies without baptism and a preacher condemns it to hell. Years later she goes to work at a farm where no one knows her history; there she meets a wealthy man whom she falls in love with and they get married. He finds out about her past and leaves her straight out without so much as a divorce. She does hard labor until eventually becoming the mistress of the man who impregnated her. Her husband returns from a long trip in the colonies and admits that he was wrong to have left. Tess says she always loved him, kills the man that raped her, and runs off with her husband. Then a sex scene happens. Finally, the police catch up and arrest Tess for murder. Tess is hanged and her husband marries her sister. The end.
I like it because it discusses a prevalent social issue of the times and the author rails against the unfair treatment of women outside of a traditional marriage. It is a progressive text that he had to publish in several pieces across different publishers because so many conservatives pushed for its destruction and refused to talk about their social ills. It is also almost entirely historically accurate.
You could have a double spine that splits around an open area in the back. Though then you'd have to sleep standing up or on your side, because I imagine you still couldn't put pressure on it and sleeping on your stomach would smush your face. It'd be so much easier if you could just skip the "has to be inside the body" step entirely. Maybe divide like a cell in mitosis? That would be... much more unsettling and complicated. We'd never know which was the real original person in a world of perfect clones. That scene in Pirates of the Caribbean could finally be done without a green screen or multiple doubles for Johnny Depp.
On a related note, sleeping on my stomach is the only way I can really fall asleep. Back sleep is not as good. How about you?
The kiwi bird does not exist. The egg just developed legs at some point. That is my deduction from this evidence.
I have seen pictures of said parks.
How do you use that much money without anyone noticing for so long that it fails?

you could prooobably put pressure on it if it wasn't pregnant?
i feel like whole body mitosis sounds even more painful
i usually fall asleep on my side i guess. i dunno, it takes me a while to get to sleep and i roll around a lot.

when i googled it, google suggested "solyndra obama scandal" - maybe that was the scandal part?

There's a scene where she is eating them because her "cousin" gave them to her when he is trying to woo her (though she doesn't understand because she's like 14) and this, combined with the fact that red means sex every time it shows up, means that she is being subjected to symbolic sex on camera, so to speak. Audiences were in an uproar over it at the time. The uproar wasn't about what you'd think, either. It wasn't about taking advantage of her or the fact that he used the scene to symbolize sex or that she was underage even for the time. The hullaballoo came about because she enjoyed the fruit and thus the symbolism. Everyone knows that a woman is incapable of feeling any sort of pleasure outside of raising children! Certainly it cannot be shown in her private life or, God forbid, in a private act! God shall to thee, sinner.
It was about like that. Yaaaaaaay colonial era England.
Your enthusiasm is terrific. I'll draw the blueprints at once.
The spine? Yeah, I think you could as long as it wasn't in use for the one thing it had been so weirdly developed for. It might actually be easier on the body because you would split the weight much like snow-shoes. But yeah, in use you'd either be really hunched over with an awkward bend to your neck or, if it went other way, your lungs would have to move to the side and you'd possibly need a mobile ribcage and arms that didn't rest against your sides. This is sounding less and less feasible as it develops.
Osmosis Jones says that mitosis is okay, so I trust his evaluation as well. c:
That sounds like me if I don't have the temperature where I want it for me and for the room. It is important to warm the feet, but not too much, and to air out the rest of the body, but not too much. It is a balance. Sleeping on your side means it would be easy to roll you over in the event that someone needed to put a beanbag chair on top of the bed. Not that that would ever happen...
Is it a scandal if the company screwed up? I think from a national standpoint it would be because he gave money to an unstable company, but ultimately as far as California goes he shouldn't bear the blame from what I now know.

mmm the color symbolism reminds me of reading the great gatsby in high school and the ensuing essays
possibly worse than the current situation. maybe babies should just be born with smaller heads. we should decrease our brain size but just make better use of said brain. or else develop said brain even further than we already do outside of the womb. did you know the soft spots on the head of a baby (of which there are 6) are called fontanelles? this means "little fountain" and they got the name because they spurt blood like fountains if you damage them.
and ugh yeah it's so hard to get to sleep in an overly warm room.

We never read that book, but I want to someday. I read Lord of the Flies over two years before we had to for class, though. lD
Having a smaller, more focused brain would decrease our energy needs and reduce the complexity and possibility of brain damage. We'd need almost entirely malleable skulls to do that outside of a completely safe environment (relatively speaking, it is safer for a human to develop inside a stable sack than it is in a monitored crib). I did know the name from my anatomy class, but we conveniently skipped the part about babies gushing blood. I always assumed they were named so because they were open areas that helped the brain develop through expansion, like a fountain of knowledge metaphor.
You toss and turn and eventually you settle on a position because you just don't care anymore and your eyes decide to go on strike.
I usually throw off my sheets because I can never get them to feel quite right, but I just got new ones for the first time in forever and they almost entirely alleviate this problem with their softness and malleability.
This will require future investigation!

Ah, good, Superman is like a fish or a frog. This makes sense.
Pssh, that's why you put them on top of other things and make a blanketasaurus stack. I must show you how to make one of these at some point.

as much as the sun giving an alien superpowers does anyways
but isn't the sleeping bag most often in use in a situation when other things may not be available?

DC uses that one all the time so by now I think it is an established scientific law.
It is. Hmm... You could always make an ad hoc taquitotress out of more than one.

i am not certain that is how scientific laws are created
yes, that is probably the way to go

School taught me that men make up rules about the universe when they are hit in the head by fruit. I see this as merely an extension of this principle.
Then you roll up in it like a great big, fuzzy cocoon, and emerge later with really frizzy hair and stylish red lines all over your face and arms.

You could be a superhero lady (super heroin and heroine not accepted as words, apparently, even though one is commonly used in comics and the other is commonly used in drug dens in the reverse order that I wrote them). I shall call you... Red-Linia. With the power of... slowly returning your skin to normal. Hmm. Watching your power in use would be almost as entertaining as watching bread slowly deteriorate on a countertop. XD I have a solution, I would look over your shoulder as you returned to normal and thus provide vital anxiety to the situation! Ooh, or if I surprised you with significant emphasis you would turn red and thus the lines would be invisible, secretly obscuring your taquitotress related abilities.

my friend tells me i remind him of the main character in "superhero girl" so it works
but the anxiety would just cause me to not turn back to normal. i would be red forever.

I am not familiar with that.
That could be more fun. You could poke yourself and watch your skin go white before returning to a reddish hue as if you had a sunburn. Just imagine, you'd never have to worry about blushing ever again! You could do any awkward thing in the world and no one would know it made you uncomfortable!

it's that comic my friend got me a couple weeks back superherogirladventures.blogsp…
yes! i'd just be anxious about the constant sunburn appearance instead!

I like this comic. Cute is the only appropriate word to describe it. It's like watching her go on all sorts of awkward adventures. I think I see the resemblance. Only I think you are further from awkward and closer to cute on the great slider that I just made up. 
That would make you double red. Aha! If you turned red enough, it would seep into your hair and you'd never have to worry about chemicals messing it up! Or you could melt ice cubes by putting them on your face. They'd be all like "sssssssddd" and you'd be all like "great, I have water on my face, fooosh." (that last onomatopoeia is you blowing the water out of the way because it is on your face and stuff) It would also make you very warm, warm enough that you could pretend it was summer all year long and act as a mobile hotspot for cats. You'd wear a suit of cats. Gasp, and then once you'd acquired the cat armor it would make you redder! (my train of thought left the station of sensibility a long time ago) You could blend in with the redwoods as you battled crime in the middle of nowhere on the giant trees.
As a closing note, from what I've read so far, the people in that comic resemble these two imgur.com/gallery/Mg2g0

haha, well i appreciate that. some of the things she says remind me of conversations i've had with people (and she has my hair but it's orange so)
i should gain the mediocre power f changing hair color (a lesser version of shape-shifting that isn't nearly so confusing or painful)
but i don't like summmmmmerrr weatherrrr. you know what would be a good superpower? the ability to change the temperature of the air around you - become a walking air conditionerrr

You are welcome. I think you can relate to the raccoon girl segment because of the line of conversation right below this one. XD Soooooo, instead she looks like almost all of your avatars in video games?
That would make you like an octopus or something. Instantly able to change the color of your hair, maybe skin, and style it however you like. That power would save dividends on haircuts.
Maybe it's just your summer weather that you dislike. Hmmmmmm? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
essentially, yes. although really the only requirement for that is red hair or occasionally obnoxiously bright hair of a different color (that's mostly in TES games though)
in DA2 i made my avatar look like me a bit and it ended up disturbing me throughout the entire game so i try not to do that now
but i live in a Mediterranean climate most of the tiiiime - our summers aren't too bad
i'm thinking you would still be able to feel warmth if something touched you - it's just the air temperature would always be pleasant

This tells me that you are a very bright and shiny person. Do you glow in the dark? Games or life, either or.
This is totally you.

Yeah, I don't like making my avatars look much like me either. I've used realistic avatars before, but never a duplicate of myself or anyone I know. The one I had in Dragon's Dogma was a dead ringer for how I imagined Richard Rose's character in my head, straight down to his face shape and hair.
You live in California, not Greece. I think you need a new word for your climate. XD
There's only one way to find out. To the secret lair!

i glow in the sun. my white legs blind people.
that is me. that is also my cat.
my other exception is that i've made rock band characters that looked like fictional characters but that's only because it was hilarious
i just want you to know that wikipedia says you are wrong upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
r-right!

I can never tell what color my legs are because I am a guy and so have long tended a hair forest to block out the sun. (it's not really that bad)
Successful relation is successful.
Who doesn't want to have Aragorn, Tyrion Lannister, and Severus Snape play backup for Starfire? No one.
That looks like a picture you just drew on with a purple marker. I shall accept it.

if there is a forest on top of them it is possible they are also white from lack of sun exposure
precisely
haha, it kinda does but i am not so invested in the meaning of the term "Mediterranean climate" that i would bother to update the wiki

The forest floor in rain-forests isn't white, though. It is loamy. Though I guess my legs are not home to microcosms of sloths, pitcher plants and gorillas. At least they'd have a home, if they did come. Miniature gorillas would just fall off your legs or get hunted by giant leg eagles because they don't have any cover. I may or may not have too much time on my hands to think about this.
Darn. Here I was hoping you were a climatologist fanatic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lack of gorillas probably means the forest floor is a different color than a real forest floor
well, climate is important but i'm not too willing to argue termssphenooccipitalsynchondrosisexcellentistillrememberthat

There is this one really cool place with white sand and soil and that is what I am thinking of right now. Those are technically not forests, but I am okay with this.
Spheno occipital synchondrosis? Something about the eyes... Is it when one eye is bigger than the other? No, that would be itis. Synchronized meaning both at once, so maybe... Is it lazy eye? (are you studying for a test or just exercising your vocabulary?)

that sounds an awful lot like a beach
it is my biggest vocab term from summer quarter that i believe i mentioned before. it is a fusion line between the sphenoid (kinda behind the eyes) and occipital (back and bottom of the cranium) bones of the skull

There are a few white sand beaches, true. Maybe the Cliffs of Dover or Mars after a tragic bleach accident.
That you did. I hope you cannot blame me for not committing it to memory because of its obscure, though useful, purpose. I like having all of my skull attached to its component parts.
