Well, you and Rose are both in that category, and both of you do it for me, so naturally by logic it seems to be the case.

Great. Now I can't see it either! http://www.wickedgood.info/images/hmph dot jpg Anyway. There was so much going on in the last thread. Style vs. Skank, Regional attractiveness. Red hair. *creepy voice* "Mav" "YinYang" (Please don't ferget I'm reddish, too...!) I love Dunkin' Donuts. Mor'n Krispy Kreme (oxymoronic name). Browncoat Pix (PR, Red and Green becomes you; as does dark and dark in the Vampire pic on the real pic thread. Must be nice to be photogenetic with any color combination...) Coffee and spirit drinking. So I really only skimmed the regional fashion thingy, and got me to wonderin' not so much the region maybe as the season/climate. Or not.

Morning all! With a very special good morning to Emma. Haven't seen you in ages. How've you been? I'll admit to having been a bottle red head for awhile. A really deep dark auburn with some crazy buttery blond highlights. I loved the color, but it was really hard on the upkeep. Red fades really fast...and for those of us that are faking the -do, it can be a bit much time and money. Oddly, brown is the same way (and doesn't look half as good on me), so it was back to blonde. I'll have to see if I can find any red-headed pictures.... PR, that second picture of you is great, with or without the photoshopping. Um, what else? Hrmmm, I seem to always find myself attracted to dark-haired, light eyed skinny guys. Not 'the wind knocks him over' skinny, but the slight-of-build skinny. Oddly, I used to be all about the blond, blued eyed type. Figured that out while on-line talking about old TV shows. Everyone of the actors I used to like was blond. (John over Ponch and Bruce Penhall over both, Roy De Soto over Johnny Gage, Ace over Gopher, the list goes on). And every one of my boyfriends from that age were all blond.

*wishes there was a Krispy Kreme nearby* Closest one is in Downtown DC. For some reason they have yet to make it into the MD suburbs. I must confess that I have had to supplement my auburninity for the last few years. As a young adult, the color was really stunning and was a defining characteristic. I've noticed since my pregnancy, my hair color has changed significantly. I'm not quite ready to give up the red so I have to dye it...if I didn't I fear it would be a really unattractive brown. I've lived too long as a red head to let time win. That, and I'm too damn vain. Washington may whore itself out, but a woman in a tube top would be a rare site indeed. People here dress VERY conservatively. It's actually pretty boring. EDIT: And I'm a Dark Witch. Quote: You are a Dark Witch! You are more powerful than witches of the Four Material Elements, and everyone knows it. Your powers stem from darkness and the night. Many have shunned you, and called you evil, even though you may not be. Most of the time, you try not to pick sides, only maintain the balance of nature. You love people, but refuse to show it, afraid that people will use it as a weapon against you, even if you could kill them with a thought. But you wouldn't do something like that....would you?

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 6:38 AM

PHOENIXROSE You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

The only big characteristic I've always found attractive has been nice, full lips. Even that has had a few exceptions. Not many. Maybe two or three. I think I'm gonna stick with my natural coloring. It's nice and the upkeep on anything else would be too much work for me. I love krispy kreme and need to never have them again... I need to go to bed. My head hurts something fierce. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

hey YinYang, Dug, Rugbug *hugs*, MsG *hugs*, DTH *hugs and a * I have had my hair pretty much every color of the rainbow, sometimes multiple colors at the same time. I have dyed it red once (check the time stamp, that was almost 8 years ago): Though have not been able to get it to do so well again, even with blonding beforehand. Now I keep it too short to do more than a frosting, which I have from time to time. Gotta have my beard though. I feel naked without it.

Good morning everyone. I went to see Ghost Rider last night and was not disappointed as I kinda knew what to expect. Aside from ignoring Nick Cage, the Rider really fit the way I imagined. Thanks MSG for recommending the flick. I woulda seen it sooner but I was waiting for GND to go with me like she said she would. She's out of town. This brings me to pointing something out. As mean as it sounds, I will not wait for anyone anymore. I tire of waiting for the fun I can be having regardless of who's with me. When someone recommends we do something and waits until its convinient for them and not for me, that's just selfish. I do feel a tiny bit guilty for going, but she decided to spend time with friends out of town and never acknowledged the fact that I really wanted to go and was waiting to go with her tonight. I feel so childish for having gone, but again, if I wait for other people I will be left waiting for a train that ain't comin'. Is it wrong to have lost faith in people and their word?

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 8:04 AM

MAVOURNEEN

I don't see that as losing faith in people. I call that taking control of your life. Living life on someone else's timetable can be stifling. Having those around you see that you aren't going to be living by their rules anymore...not following their "rules" -now that's powerful, imo. edit: HA! Just listening to Firefly Talk podcast and they read my email on the air. Mispronounced "Mavourneen", but so does everyone.

Mav- I am not sure how you could mispronounce it...how did they say it??? NV- Glad you liked it. Yeah if you just kind of blot out Nick Cage it's really good. I think it's good you didn't wait. When she gets back, if she still wants to see it, she's welcome to. I think it's fine to wait for friends if you have a firm committment to do something together, but if it's just a casual hey we should do that sometime, then I say you're free to do as you please.

I agree with Mav. You're not being mean, NVG, just taking control. It's not like your stomping all over everyone's plans on purpose. You're just making sure you get a chance to enjoy the things you want without waiting for everyone else to let you know when it's convenient. If you constantly fit in to other people's plans, it winds up being assumed that that's how it will always be. And then people get ratty when you dare to suggest a different time! Believe me, I know. Ignore the naysayers. You are NOT being selfish. And if anyone says you are then it's a lot more likely that they're the ones being selfish! Graphics available at www.desktophippie.com

I ain't one to stomp all over anyone's plans anyways. Now dance over... How do you ladies prefer for a guy to assert himself? I am realizing how little being nice gets a person so I want to be nice no more. But I also don't want to be an asshole. A few weeks ago the girl that plays in our team ended up at the Tat shop and looked incredible. I asked what she was all dressed up for and she smiled. After mentioning she'd had her hair done I politely told her that she looked good. Not that her hair looked good. Can anyone point out the possible mistakes I made? She hasn't been around in a week and hasn't been out with us for two. I'm thinkin' she got back with her boyfriend so that might be a reason. Really quick, for some F'ing reason that seems to happen alot around me all the time. It's really starting to bug my ass to no end. ADD: Now everyones looking at me funny.

It's all about confidence in one's self and how you carry yourself. Maybe it's the difference between "thinking" you're the sh*t, and "knowing" you're the sh*t.

Mav- yeah I know how it's said. I was just trying to figure out how to mispronounce it. I would never have though of Mav-oreen. I guess I can see it, but to me it's like Sibohan ( sha-von)I heard someone the other day say Sib-o-han for it and couldn't figure out what they were talking about. Must be the Irish thing. I grew up with my gran speaking a mix of Irish gaelic and English so I only heard the names when she said them. I guess my brain just doesn't process them the other way...mind you I thought Hermione from Harry Potter was said Her- moyne LOL NV- hmm well the only mistake I can see is not noticing the new hairdo before she mentioned it, but that's hardly sufficent to prevent her from hanging out. I'd just assume she got really busy and call her up and say you missed seeing her at the last few outings and would she like to go out sometime... if she's back with her ex she'll say so and if not, you've got a date:) "I'm not all that interested in the mental health of people who want to kill me.

I really, really wanted to tell her, but I was quite a few rows back and, well, I kinda had trouble not laughing. I was terrified I'd just laugh in her face. And Goddess knows she'd be humiliated enough. It was bad enough that she didn't know, but it was the fact that the other woman didn't realise either that really killed me. I know I shouldn't actually laugh but ohhhh so funny! Especially since the kid was little more than a baby. I swear, her teacher will call her name at school and she'll just sit there going "That's not my name!" I was terrible with pronouncing words when I was a kid too. A side effect of reading a lot and not hearing the words. For years I thought lingerie was lin-ger-ey and that recipe was reh-sype. I didn't connect them with the words I heard every day at all.

Yes, I am a girl. I *really* try not to fall asleep but it just happens!
