There is a certain freedom of the mind in being a polymorph that heretofore I have not truly allowed myself. Avenues of thought and imagination I have realized these last few days I was subconsciously denying myself. This unconscious censorship -- or not so unconscious, as I'm doing it here in my writing of this. Just that I weird people out enough as it is.

One word. Romi.

Makes me glad I sprung for the full options package on my imagination.

But aside from the lovely Andromeda, I'm being more mindful of how much I've been self-censoring myself otherwise. Have I been doing all this subconsciously all this time, squashing even the recognition of attractive females to such an extent that I even avoid looking at them even casually? Well, at least in one instance I am now trying to flirt with one that I know already is of like mind. Who knows what will come of it, but I'm having fun trying.

Oddly, for the first time twenty years I'm actually enjoying flirting with someone and not making a total fool of myself. I'm actually relaxed about the whole thing. It's weird. I always felt like I had to prove something to a guy, had to desperately try to impress him or something. Not with this. May be because I know females are more inclined to deal with a person as a person, not just as an image or a sex object. As a person, I think I'm on a pretty even playing field.

'Course it could just be that without Harry there people are seeing me as myself, not as the other half of a loud Italian who never lets me get a word in edgewise.

Give me a cookie. I haven't gone out and bought a laser printer. See, I do have some self-control!

Yet tomorrow I will be going to spend that money to further pay down my truck loan, and will at that point be some $350 - $400 away from paying it off. I am almost 35 years old, the whole delayed gratification thing is old hat.

Besides, for under $50 I could get a chip resetter and an ink cartridge refilling kit. But I'm holding out for 14 reams before a new toner cartridge, baby!

I need a USB hub. I'm running out of places to plug in cables. Not to mention where am I going to put another printer...? Do I really NEED three printers...?

Is it kosher to run a power strip off another power strip? I need a bigger power strip...
