I desire the power to make people's brain go 'phut'^*. Unfortunately, I'm torn between 'everyone' and 'specific men of my acquaintance'. This is rather annoying as it means my brain cannot decide between the power to make people's heads explode or the ability to make certain men dribble and go 'guh'.

I hate hormones...

^* I initially spelled that as 'hut', which just changes the whole slant of the rest of the post...

What do you mean, make people's brains go 'phut'?

[sessifet25.livejournal.com]

That's the problem. On the one hand it wants generalised 'Also, I can kill you with my brain' powers, and on the other hand it wants...er...the ability to make certain men go 'guh'.

*hides*

Ah.

Well, not sure about the first (and to be honest I don't think I really want to think about it too much... *shudders*)..

But I'd say you've nothing to fear on the second point ;)

Yay for insomniac replies ;)

[sessifet25.livejournal.com]

You don't think I can pull off a River Tam then? :)

As for the second...perhaps I don't. But still, a focused and controllable 'guh'-inducing ray might be fun. And while I'm at it, some self-confidence'd be appreciated. The latter I can work on, the former...not without some serious genetic manipulation would seem to be in order. :)

River Tam's nice and all, but she's on another planet...

You should realise you already have the 'guh' effect you desire on quite a few men.. it's probably not as focussed and controllable as you'd like but if everyone did everything you wanted, life would be a little boring n'est pas?

Well...yes. I think the wish for the 'guh' powers is so I don't have to talk myself into doing something about it. Because doing something about it means I'd have to say to someone that I really like them and would it maybe be possible that...erm...could we possibly...erm...wait, let me start again. Erm. You know. But only if you want. Erm...and...yeah. I think you're cute! Erm...please like me?.

I know it wouldn't go that way. Heck, I've come out and told you and your housemate that you're cute and Definite Intereset is happening and the world didn't end, nor did you laugh in my face. But there's always that annoying part of me that whispers that I might have been mistaken. I was being humoured to avoid a scene.

The solution would be more self-confidence, but that's just hard work, damnit! The 'guh' mind powers would be so much easier and would not need as much work and...yeah.

On the other hand, being more self-confident and self-assured in matters of attraction and flirting would probably get me fewer funny stories along the lines of 'I have daisies!'.

Aaah, I see..

Well, to be honest, I think the answer is just practise telling people you like them. I know it sounds like hard work, but I bet you'll come to enjoy it :)

And for the record (and I think I can speak for ev1ldonut here too), no humouring or scene-avoiding was taking place in our reciprocation ;)

'I have daisies!'?

Oh, also.. how do you feel about beards?

*grin*

Bears are a definte yay. ;)

Re: Yay for insomniac replies ;)

[sessifet25.livejournal.com]

*beards!

Not bears. Definitely not bears. Unless they're fluffy teddy bears that can be cuddled and don't try to eat one's face.

Oh, and: I have Daisies!

I've never asked anyone out, or had the courage to tell them that I'm attracted to them. But if I did, it would come out something like you describe above.

But there's always that annoying part of me that whispers that I might have been mistaken. I was being humoured to avoid a scene

Yes. That too. Along with...

"He doesn't actually fancy me, he just wants to hang out and be mates." (Which is fair enough, especially for someone whose two best friends are both men anyway)

"He doesn't actually fancy me, he just acts like that with everyone." (Which I'm pretty sure is the case quite often)

The little voice is annoying and sometimes I feel it needs to be dragged out and shot. Other times it's good that it's there, because it can actually stop you from making a total arse of yourself. :)

I suppose we need training in ignoring it when it's obviously talking bollocks.

"He doesn't actually fancy me, he just acts like that with everyone." (Which I'm pretty sure is the case quite often)

Funnily enough, I've heard (and occasionally experienced) that the object of interest/affection/oh gods, please notice me now is feeling the exact same way and doesn't know how to approach you either. Isn't humanity fun? :)

That's when you need an amused mutual friend to bash heads together...

Nothing wrong with having both... *g*
