[To be fair, going with the angle he chose requires being quite direct! But now he's wondering if he selected the wrong strategy....]
oh
That sounds. Um. Pretty bad. Sorry to hear that.
[He reads the words "horror movie" and his mind instantly leaps to slashers.]
I mean, you gotta make your stuff work, right? Just because a better way isn't obvious doesn't mean there isn't one. Sometimes you just can't see it for yourself because you're stuck too deep in whatever hole you've ended up in. I can say that from experience.
True. Right now I'm like, one of the ones trying to figure their stuff out. Which is totes normal. I'm pretty sure everyone you're interviewing will say that.
At least I can use the hundreds of horror movies I've seen as like, a fake guide on how to get through things. I'm totally Final Girl material.

ideal?
But, um, I guess if it works for you.
[He's asked these questions and now...he still doesn't know what to do. Good job, Clint.]
Have you heard of weighted blankets?

I'm just trying to cope in ways that don't involve giving into the urge to go Full Karen on the world.
Actually I just told Doc Hawk about them. I did an AP Bio paper on them to try and avoid a test.
<goliath>
But anyways, thanks for answering those questions. Sorry for digging up, um, any unfortunate memories.

And no problem? I try not to let things get to me too much.
[ Except when they do. ]
