Quiet Guy, you ever see any Marx Brothers movies? Well, Bella is the little-known Marx _sister._ Sometimes a little Groucho comes out, sometimes a little Chico (with that Italian accent) pops out. Ya never know what to expect here in Bella’s Ballroom (located in the Twighlight Zone section of the Women’s journals). WE are the straight men. We don’t have to worry about being funny, we just have to worry about _hanging on_ for the ride with this fiesty little spitfire. She will play with our minds the way cats play with mice. 🙂 ---

Hi guys, don’t have a lot of time right now but I wanted to leave this for you Quiet Guy, 'cause you did ask me. 😉 I think TAF has awareness at many levels. It’s an amplifier. For example, music. I find, when wearing TAF, if it’s not just right it can be very annoying. It makes things pop, colors, sounds and even smell. So it stands to reason that it could be useful in most artistic applications. If you wanna try it I suggest starting with a low dose, 2.5-5mcg and bump it up from there. Dose is important. It’s properties morph differently at different levels. I use it as “seasoning” in a mix. It has the ability to emphasis other pheromones in a mix. The way I react isn’t the way everyone reacts when wearing it. I get all scattered at a too high dose. Diane gets straightened out. Go figure. Very subjectjective those pheromones. Since you read Diane’s thread, you can see how important dose is. Did you read Idle’s business thread that I also linked in that post? Good info there on TAF as well. I can tell you this…I would _never_ attempt to apply my makeup while wearing TAF. That’s a form of art, no? I’d see every little detail and imperfection and NEVER be satified with it. So, for what that’s worth. Abstract art, huh? I think it would be fun and worth experimenting with. Maybe we can get Robbie 🙂 to step outta the box and join you for a little experiment? 🙄 _Maaaybeee?_ It would be interesting if you tested together and reported back on your findings. You could also shoot your question out on the forum. Ya never know, there might be a few more artists here who could shed some light on it for you. Not trying to be pushy, Pookie…just trying to be helpful. 😃 Don’t know if that clears anything up for ya, Quite Guy. Guess you’ll just have to _bite the bullet_, spray some on and find out! You don’t look anything like Steve McQueen, do ya? 😛 ---

No, I’m _so boring_. 🙂 Music drives my creativity, I can’t work without it… You being boring is probably what a lot of people call cool. ---

> [@QuietGuy](#): > > Have you ever watched him in that movie called, The Computer wore tennis shoes? > > Or that cult classic he was in, Big Trouble in little China. He was a beast in that movie. Yeah, I have. He was also in another Disney movie called “The Barefoot Executive.” Seen that? Big Trouble was another John Carpenter film. Kurt Russell + John Carpenter = I’m there. Those guys are hilarious together. You remember Kurt Russell in Forrest Gump? ---

Needless to say I slept, with the light on that very night. ☹ ---

It was a trick question. 🙂 He’s also in “3000 Miles To Graceland” in Elvis regalia. > [@QuietGuy](#): > > I don’t recall watching that one. Is it good? About the same level of quality as “Computer Wore Tennis Shoes,” they were both Disney movies made when he was an older teen. > [@QuietGuy](#): > > I bet you are familiar with his interpretation, of that black and white movie classic “The Thing From Another World”.

Hello Bella. I don’t wear phenomones much now days I but I just checked in here to see what happened in what seems like a rather long time. I remember “The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes”, but it has been a long time since I saw that one. Happy New Year to you. ---

I have been busy doing other things, Ms. Selva. I hope I haven’t been missed too much, although thank you for saying that. I haven’t worn pheromones hardly at all, I just don’t feel I need them anymore, at least at the moment. Mostly what I have been doing is alot of reading and meditating, and thinking about what I will do with the rest of my life. I feel well, though. I just stopped in to update my own journal, that’s all… and let people know I am still alive, in case they were wondering. … and I am definitely not a lone wolf anymore. I like being alone sometimes, and quiet, but I am not a wolf. ---

I don’t go out and socialize, so I guess I am still a lone wolf in that sense. I’m still introverted, in fact I probably socialize less. The wolf thing is something I don’t identify with much anymore, though. I don’t have problems interacting with people like I used to, I am not self-conscious, at the same time, I think I am lousy at playing the social games it takes sometimes to “get ahead”, which is something I am not interested in anymore. People can either like who I am, or not… ultimately it won’t bother me. ---

> [@Daedelus76](#): > > _ **I don’t go out and socialize, so I guess I am still a lone wolf in that sense.** _ I’m still introverted. The wolf thing is something I don’t identify with much anymore. In fact, _**I don’t identify with much of anything (not even with being a man, which I guess one might see as wierd I suppose).**_ I don’t have problems interacting with people like I used to, I am not self-conscious, at the same time, _ **I think I am lousy at playing the social games it takes sometimes to “get ahead”, which is something I am not interested in anymore.** _ Life is too short, and there is a big equalizer for everyone. _ **People can either like who I am, or not… ultimately it won’t bother me.** _ Well, I know you’re not a social butterfly. But I’d like to ask you something, if you don’t mind. It’s personal so you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. Why does being social and interacting with people have to be just to get ahead? I wonder if you _want_ to connect with people on a social level. I mean what about getting to know someone, you find interesting, just for fun? Well, I’m gonna say something here and I hope you and I know each other well enough, at this point, for you to realize I’m not attacking you. 🙂 Seems to me that you’re really not giving yourself a chance. What’s more you’re selling yourself short. It’s kind of a defeatist attitude, D. You’re so smart and have so much knowledge about so many interesting things, I’m sure people would like you if you’d loosen up and relax about it a bit more. You do well here with us and have many friends. So why not with others? I mean don’t you want companionship? Jeez, I wish you wouldn’t be content to cut yourself off. I know all that nonsense can be discouraging but nothing worthwhile in life comes without effort. So what if you have to make an effort? There could be something great out there for you and you’re just too lazy to go get it. How can you expect people to like you for yourself if you never give them the chance to know you? Getting to know people takes time. Developing friendships takes time. Look at us. 😮 😃 Anyways, it’s none of my beeswax and if you’re truly happy with that then I’m glad. But I just wanted to ask…or say…😉 Bella [Previous page](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/da-bella-da-ball-journal/7826.md?page=41) [Next page](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/da-bella-da-ball-journal/7826.md?page=43)
