Eh, I strongly suspect I won't end up with one of my waifs.  I don't think it would be good for me.

What I mean by type is that there's a certain sort of person where I see them and think Oh my gawd.  There was a woman wearing a white hijab once in an elevator, with rose perfume.  I could barely walk straight afterwards--I was drunk on aesthetic experience.

This is rather different than love, though.  It's just a strong aesthetic preference for a particular person, who in that way somehow becomes an objet d'art (this is why I don't try to date these folks--because I recognize that I've idealized them).

This happens to me more often than I'd like. If I happen to know/sort of know them, I then try to counteract that by getting to know them more. Generally works, as you get the best of both worlds.

I can see this ending well. Tell me how it turns out, will you?

If I remember correctly, though I've purged most of it from my memory banks, the first couple of times I felt attaction to a member of the opposite sex resulted in a few days of discreet staring followed by disintrest.

WHAT IS THAT HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WHY WHY WHY!!?!??!?

I'm hoping a race of tiny humans.


What? We're all thinking it.

If that's the case, I should start a campaign to sequence my DNA to see if I'm related.

It costs about $1000 and a week to do that nowadays.

I always thought the Star Trek replicators made the foods basically out of nothing but proteins, I actually have some vague memory of that being mentioned.

Ah a quick look at the star trek wiki says that it's bulk matter that uses transporter technology to re-sequence the matter into edible foodstuffs.  I'm probably thinking the things from Enterprise.

I imagine if the starship ever ran out of matter the replicators wouldn't work.

EDIT: "Quick!  Scotty the matter tanks for the replicators are empty!  We need an alternate food source, point the replicators to the warp core, we haven't broken that yet this episode."

We're out of matter for the replicators! Everyone, trousers down and go take a shit in the tanks.

A long summer was a sign of a longer winter, was it not?

Only the peasants believe such superstition m'lord.
