Normal is overrated.

I can say that, in my case, the answer is "sometimes".
Occasionally I'll get what I call a "flush rush" that moves from my head down to my gut, stops there, swirls around, then turns into a knot. Then it dissipates a few seconds later.
I know - I'm not normal.
You should also start each appointment 5 minutes late, and tell each of them "Sorry I'm late, I was dealing with a death certificate for an unvaccinated patient."

20 years ago at Clarion West, my submission story was one of the first we critiqued. Our instructor Nancy Kress advised that I not use the pen name I was currently going by (Finley Larkin - a combo of family names).
She said something like: Don't use a name you wouldn't want etched into a Nebula Award.
At the time thought: If I win a Nebula, I won't care what name they put on it because I'll be a Nebula winner!
Well. Here we are today and there's a Nebula with my name on it! π

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
