psychoanalyzed by psychologist friend
me: girls like to touch me (unfortunate remark, easily miscontrued)
she: cos you're cute (sees my horrified face) i mean, you're earnest, you're genuine. you know, some people are reserved and when you talk to them they're still distant, and i don't like that, whereas others are endearing and people feel protective towards them

also, i should go into academia cos of the response papers i write every tues (that suck my soul from sun night to tue afternoon)? my eyes protest.

how do people talk so much and so quickly? i'm getting quite an education in bullshitting while sounding intellectual here
