Ok so rather than give full reports on everything I’ve tried to date I’ll sum up what has worked/ hasn’t so far.
THEN. . .on to funny hit stories ![]()
About me: I’m a 35 yr old grad student (working on my Masters in Literature) smalltime published poet and jill of all trades. I am unconventionally attractive. . .as in not the broadcast “ideal” (media BS) but I do just fine. Personality-wise I am a force to be reckoned with. (I have had to learn over the years to use my powers for good and not overwhelm anyone) I am very intelligent, funny, genuine, and not at all afraid of voicing my opinion. I am still new to this so my list is full of tried and true basics at the moment.
Instant Shine- “Rockstar Spray” WOW. Takes everything positive about me socially and turns it up to 11! People stare, open doors, give me free coffee. It is especially effective with an extra dose of “please and thank you” (congruence is afterall EVERYTHING.) People go out of their way to do what I ask them.
Instant Openness- LOVE IT! Self-effects are good, I feel more likely to calmly explain something and not be concerned that it might take too long. People just seem to want to talk to you more, random people start conversations, people that you were already talking to are more chatty.
Instant Honesty- haven’t tested it alone planning on doing so later this week.
Instant Sexiness B 1.2- Not for me. I’ve heard lovely things from others, but it was too contradictory with my own personality and made me headachy and out of sorts.
Turn up the heat- Arrived this morning!!! Got it for my boyfriend so we can play.
EoW- On its way! Will report back.
So now, yesterday’s funny hit story.
I have settled in to a pattern/ mix for daily wear 3 sprays IS and 2 sprays IO. I had been out running errands all day, so before I left for class for the evening added another spray IS.
I walk into class almost 10 minutes late. (not a norm for me, moving a little slow with my back giving me issues and the parking situation was horrendous) I sit down in my normal spot, back righthand corner of the class. The Professor is talking about a paper we had all recently turned in involving “The Catcher in the Rye.” (Incidentally I’m not a fan.) I’m unpacking my bag getting everything I need out and he says. “If Holden were my kid, I would have drowned him.” I think it is funny so I nod in agreement. Prof says “There is someone nodding agreement with me, but you can’t see her because she is at the very back of the classroom.” I raise my hand and wave when everyone looks. He goes on to say that I was showing a great deal of backbone owning up to it. and then it happens lol the guy next to me whispers “I wouldn’t DO it, but I’d stand there and hand you a towel after.” What the hell!?
at the 1.5 hour mark we take a break. As per usual, I get the banana out of my backpack (not a euphemism) and head for the atrium. On the way the professor stops me and introduces me to a guy that is going to be a new associate professor in my specialty field of study. . . his eyes were as big as saucers and when I went to shake his hand he held it for just a beat too long. Funny stuff.
