I hate leaving messages. For some reason, answering machines always catch me unprepared: I virtually always have to hang up and call back (assuming I call back at all). *sigh* Still, I will probably leave Dylan a message later, unless by some slim chance I actually manage to get ahold of her. *chuckle* Is it sad that I have essentially composed a message ahead of time?
Now, I have a little confession. I have called her a few times... let's say fifteen in total. Now, it is not that I am obsessed or in love or anything, it is just that I am a very impatient person if I don't have to wait for something. If I have to wait for something, you won't find a more patient person, but when it is something you don't have to wait for like calling someone I get extremely impatient. Anyway, I am a little concerned that such a volume of calls might seem a little creepy or desperate, when it is actually just me being bad with anticipation.
What else? I need to get a new lighter, but I am not a fan of Zippos. I am thinking of something roughly the shape of a Bic in silver, preferably with flint, but possibly with one of the more "advanced" starters. I was looking around the Pipe Shop and they had a few things that might be suitable.
If you had to give up one sense out of taste, smell, sight, hearing, or touch, what would it be (ignore the biology of taste and assume that food will still taste as good without your sense of smell)? If you could only keep one of those senses, what would it be?
Personally I would give up smell (assuming I could still taste perfectly), then taste, then hearing, then sight, then touch. So, obviously if I could only keep one of those senses it would be touch.

Hmm....I've always played with being blind....
I went to fetishball blindfolded on year, with two guys, one whose ears we plugged, and one who we muted. Anyhow, the Deafened guy (Seth) had our keys, and I was off dancing with who knows who and Mutie (Luc) came up to me, really desperate. Somehow, with me unable to see him and him unable to speak, solely through the sounds Mmm mmm mm mmm MMM!, he was able to communicated that he had to pee (I should mention here that we were all dressed in duct tape, so this was going to be a difficult and personal process, requiring a return home), and we couldn't find deafie anywhere. We decided (probably I did since I could talk) to find a phone. Mutie would locate the phone and dial, and I would speak when necessary. The thing is, mutie somehow forgot that I was blindfolded, so I was walking full speed with the assumption that he was directing me, and I ran full-on into the corner of a wall--hit my face, right along the side of my nose. We continued to the phone, and he dialed, and we got voicemail, and left a message that sounded something like this "Seth? Seth we need -- mmm mmm mm MM -- what? mmm mmm mmm Luc, where are you? Luc???!!! mmmm MMMM MMMM WHAT? MMMMM MMMMMM!!!! I'm BLEEDING?" - click - .....I actually broke my nose that night when I ran into that corner. For a few months afterward, I could pop my nose as if it was a knuckle.
All the same, I think I'd choose blindess. I'm a composer, so deaf is bad (I'm not as talented as Beethoven, okay?!). I know people who have no sense of taste, it makes eating a really disgusting experience. And your sense of smell is the main tool of your memory. I am an extremely tactile person and that would make me cry to lose, plus it would make basic activities, like opening doors and typing really difficult. Lose your site, and you stop judging people from the outside. Plus I get to learn braille!
who am i kidding...popularity is overrated....
I have the same problem as you-trying not to appear "stalkerish" but simply being anxious...grrr...unfortunately, I cannot offer any advice, as I still suffer from this affliction.
I would lose my sense of smell....I could do w/o it.
