Social Vampirism, I like it.  We could start selling social interaction survival kits so introverts could avoid having their energy drained, the kits could include pepper spray and the like.

Someone pointed out to me the irony of the day of being thankful for what you have directly preceding the day of massive, frenzied buying of what you don't need. Only in America.

I occasionally find rough, black, curly strands in with my otherwise straight(ish) blonde hair. They're easiest to spot when they're short and along my part because they stick up all crazy, but now and then I find long ones... I really do not know what to make of it.

I have those too. They grow in one spot behind my left ear and I don't know why they're there. They are completely different in color, texture, and thickness from the rest of my hair and most don't get long, but luckily they're weighted down by the rest of the hair on that side of my head.

So, the cliche is that extroverts gain energy from social interaction, and introverts are drained by it.

A friend points out that energy is conserved, so the extroverts must be sucking it out of the introverts.

They totally do. It's not that we're low energy, it's just that the extroverts demand so much of it, I run out faster than usual. Jerks. :-P

It seems like I'm getting more pearly white hairs along the sagittal axis of my scalp. My hair's like 1% salt, 99% pepper. Maybe the ambiguous left/right divide is throwing the gene expression out of whack there, making the pigmentation change. It might be kinda cool to have a white fauxhawk, though.

Also, I'm (procrastination on) making a Powerpoint presentation in Office 2010, and some of these transitions are so obnoxious that I wonder Microsoft is trolling. Vortex is a transition that goes on for five seconds. I shudder to think that someone might actually use this in a real presentation.

I've changed it to a different shrug (WRASSLIN!), which I got my boyfriend to choose between it and another gif. Even when I've decided I'm indecisive.

I'm very interested!

That day has come and gone (I just noticed that message was in the week I became a mod).
I think the list mentioned is up to about 200 images now (actually, when it went over a certain number of characters in the list it started to fail intermittently, so now I make two nested calls, one to select from a list of lists, and another to select an item from the selected list; all the lists are now under 500 characters, which seems to be the break point).

I watched wrestling constantly back in the 90's, but lost interest when my brothers moved out. Not as fun to watch alone. Only got back into it in the last few months so I'll probably miss the gags a lot... FELLA!

I'm going to keep this as recent as possible.

These are in no order, but watch Cena/Lesnar first. There has never been a match like it in North America.

1. John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar, Extreme Rules 2012
2. Royal Rumble 2008
3. Triple H vs. Undertaker, Hell In A Cell, Wrestlemania 28
4. John Cena vs. CM Punk, MITB 2011
5. Smackdown vs. Raw, Survivor Series 2005
6. Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels, Wrestlemania 24
7. Sting vs. Mick Foley, Lockdown 2009 (a TNA match, but it deserves to be seen)
8. Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe, Lockdown 2008 (ditto)
9. Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels, Ladder Match, No Mercy 2008
10. New Breed vs. ECW Originals, Extreme Rules, ECW TV 2006

I was showering with the boy and I dropped my razor (which happens a lot) and the first time he saw me pick it up with my feet, he looked at me like I had a second head or something. He's ambidextrous and was weirded out by the fact I can pick things up with my toes. I find that hilarious.

I'd pick things up with my toes in my parents' house's shower because it's a small cubicle, so I can balance by putting a hand on the wall. In my shower/bath I'd be worried about slipping. I've nearly slipped badly a few times in it even though it has a non-slip surface.

If I can survive shaving my legs in the shower, I can survive picking something up with my feet. Also I have a non-slip mat in my bathtub that does a pretty good job of keeping my feet where they should be. Also also when there are two people in a shower, it's really freaking hard to bend over to get something.
