One time I was talking to a twitchy lady who immediately set off "emotional vampire" bells. She started trying to bait me into further involvement with promises of potential freelance projects. Despite KNOWING BETTER, I started to converse with her about that and then my body just started to choke! I had the mother of all coughing fits, had to be brought water, thumped on the back and was incapable of talking for a good half hour. My body just said, "you are not saying another word to this woman, FOOL."
Ooo, cool story! I remember sitting in a cafe once, talking to a guy I'd only met once before, who was droning on and on trying to impress me with his ascetic intellectualism. I started shivering uncontrollably, even though it was a warm day outside; it was like he was draining my heat. I suddenly recalled that the only other person who ever provoked this response in me was my psycho stalker ex-boyfriend. I excused myself and did not respond to any more communications from him.
That one pings too! I have a rule about how if I start shivering for no reason on a date, it is my last date with that person. Shiverdar: listening to it is important.
Oh yeah, the body has a definite mind of its own.

Listening to body = good, good, good.
