Something in the air

I had the day off today. I had intended to do a full list of things, including going to the gym, getting my hair trimmed, working on the accident/claim report that the hit and run driver's insurance company wants from me, etc

Awesome!

Yet, it is nice to be looked at with eye approval!

This is so true though, you don't have to look pretty.

*sage nod*

Uh. No offense meant but there seem to be a lot of people who would think you are "pretty".. Now now I don't want to get into semantics about what "pretty" means, but... Why are you crushed that you're not pretty??? Well, you shouldn't be crushed because you ARE very pretty by any definition of the word! *boggle*

Know that I've had those conversations in my head of the "I'm so hideous it's amazing that anyone talks to me" type. (Not looking for affirmation either here..) I guess the difference is. Well.. shoot.. you know... this line of conversation is possibly self destructing so I'm going to drop it right here. It's probably too late and I'm not saying it very well, I know.. but you are pretty and just gotta accept it! :)

I'm not ugly, though I have been known to frighten small children :) But if people perceive me as pretty, I hope it's because my personality has overwhelmed their visual senses.

Kind of like the Russian folktale about the little girl, lost and looking for her mother "the most beautiful woman in the world". The townspeople lead every beautiful woman in town past the little girl and say, "is this your mother?" and she says, "no". When her mother shows up (she's been frantically searching every where for her daughter) she's brown and wrinkled and looks something like a potato. Everyone agrees that her mother is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Ha! I've said before that I frighten small children, but in truth I've noticed little kids to be fascinated with me. I don't know why. So I'll smile and wave and... they do that little kid thing of hiding or smiling back..

So, maybe I mostly scare small dogs then? :)
