--- Quote from: Steve the Pocket on 06 May 2010, 11:59 ---Hanners' hair looks almost like it did at the beginning, back when her OCD was more like real OCD and less like Adrian Monk Syndrome. Does this mean she's finally coming full circle?

That actually came up during the u-stream last night. She is looking more like that first meeting in the bar's restroom. No problems with touching back then - straddling Marten and all...

Hmm. You already know about my theory concerning Dora's hair length. Do we need one for Hannelore, too?
--- Quote from: Carl-E on 06 May 2010, 12:19 ---But she was on meds that were giving her problems at the time, if I remember correctly. Now, she's getting better. It may still be slightly chemically enhanced (I imagine she's still on something), but it's at her own agonizingly slow pace.

That's so much less entertaining than thinking a few passes with scissors might change everything. And it has the added downer of probably being correct.
As for Hanners being "Monk-like," I'd guess that in addition to her usual battery of anxieties, she'd added dealing with a completely new environment, and, worse, one that was far less stable then the space-station. That could explain her exaggerated OCD manifestations, the heavy meds she was on when Hanners first talked to Marten—an attempt to deal with the repercussions of the change as she ventured outside her apartment—and her gradual improvement as she became more accustomed to her surroundings. I'd suspect Hannelore's made that adjustment (as well as getting the best-effect dosages of her meds nailed down) and is now making actual progress on her OCD itself.
Of course, it may also have to do with the inescapable fact that she's not real. But I digress.
Is it cold in here?:
Backing you up, there is evidence from the strip that Hannelore is sensitive to changes in her environment. When she woke up at Sven's, her first reaction was "Gah! Strange place! Strange place!"

Man, when you flirt, you flirt HARD.

I always did think the "i before e except after c" rule had no place in a scientific society.

I think that sentence has all the exceptions, no?

Can you tell I'm avoiding grading final exams?
