It is inappropriately named. The honey badger wouldn’t sneak, because the honey badger wouldn’t care.

This is a disappointing picture. He was smiling, but, he dropped it once the waitress showed up. He’s gotten a lot better about talking and he jokes with me more, now, but, he’s still withheld.
He says I’m intimidating. I don’t understand that; I’m a scrawny white kid, I’m far from intimidating.
I’m not quite sure what to do with him. He’s cute and considerate, but, so withheld the chemistry is still evolving. I can’t get a good fix on things to tell where I should be going with him.
But, I admit, those are weak complaints. He’s respectful, considerate, geeky, ambitious, and comfortable in his own skin. Those are all good things to consider.
Now, if only he weren’t so damn skinny.
And, if only I could catch him smiling.
This is starting to feel like
It’s right before my eyes
And I can taste it
It’s my sweet beginning.

And later comes Woodwind Waker.
I loved The Squiddish Cap
Ink to the Past was pretty good too.
don’t forget about Octopus of Seasons
Or Squid’s Awakening.

Dating a chemist is a challenge, not for the pros/cons of the looming “us,” but more for what it forces me to acknowledge about myself.
The reason I didn’t get into science in college was because I held myself back. Sitting in this position right now, where I have a comfortable job, and have become a resource for several attorneys, has given me enough self-confidence to consider pursuing a biomedical science degree in grad school.
However, sitting in the presence of a trained chemist, stirs up those overwhelming feelings of inadequacy. And, granted, I can tell he really likes me, but, I can’t help shying away in those moments.
It is one thing to call the experience humbling, but, I honestly find it humiliating. I forget that he has years of experience to call on, and I just have the information my curiosity finds me. I will learn, in the future, I hope, to remember he got here by working.
And, in turn, I will work just as hard.
