Thank Lena

My return to posting is all her fault.

That and the fact that I'm in a relationship now. Which makes me wax prosaic.

Anyway, the trip to OKC was great, and Neña is still awesome, and I kinda miss Braums. Alas, I must bid adieu to affordable, quality hamburgers.

But moving on, being back with boyshapedthing has made me go kinda wonky...again. He has that effect. And I tend to see things differently. I'm wondering if anyone else had this sort of revelation or whatever when they first started exploring the world of romance.

The thing is, I watch TV and movies differently. Love scenes, kissing scenes, even just moments where a couple is having a private conversation all feel different than they did before. This is...weird. And I'd kind of like it to stop because it's threatening to break the wall separating me from the program and I like that wall. That wall allows me to feel all superior and omniscient.

So I'm bringing back the old LadyG's Minion Q segment.

Minion Q: Did you notice any strange changes in yourself after entering your first relationship? A new worldview, suddenly getting jokes you never quite understood before, that kind of thing? I realize I may be asking some of you to dust off a few mental cobwebs, but go ahead and give it a shot.

LadyG's A: You pretty much got it from the post. The TV thing is odd. But I've also noticed an irritating tendency to reference my boyfriend way too often. For this, I sincerely apologize. Especially to Neña, who had to put up with it all last week. Trust me, everyone, I'm annoying myself just as much.
