    Oddly enough, that was one post that I wasn't trying to be humorous in..... that's just the way my life is.

    Busted! And I was hoping for some pretty graphic descriptions, maybe with accompanying photos.

    That I'm not nearly as confident as I pretend to be.

    Interesting question, i'll think about that.

    Actually i've come to the conclusion that I tend to see and care about things that most people don't even notice..... small things some times that may be hard to even notice but that's what makes someone special.

    I didn't think it was funny, I thought it was a really vulnerable admission and it made me a little sad for Biblio, although the bright spot is that we know at least one person saw through the troll-like exterior and made him a happy man.

    feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
    porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
    but weighty and unmovable
    As black Dakota hills.

    That's very sweet, Idril; but don't be sad for me..... There ARE benefits to being a soft-hearted troll. First among them are the fact that pretty much anyone who befriends me is a person WORTHY of friendship. Clearly they are not interested in me because of my looks or my money.... I have neither. They are someone that can see beyond the superficial and they place a value on what I have to offer.

    At this point in my life I would absolutely NOT want to be one of the "beautiful people".

    When I was little and heard any woman complaining of her ugliness (by the standard of physical beauty in our area), I would always think she was lucky. At least someone wouldn't marry her by her looks then!

    I think loving one's characteristics and understanding them is the love which is more lasting. Because this shows the 'choice' of your loved one. What he would be like if he had had a choice. There is more 'choice' and 'battle inside oneself' while developing the personality I think than in your physical attributes.

    LittleWing my dear,

    No need to apologize.... no harm done, no feelings hurt.

    It is VERY easy to misread the intention and/or tone of these posts... you're right it happens to all of us. In fact, I've said the same thing that I posted to people in the past and they mistook it for a joke even though they could hear my tone of voice and see the look on my face at the time.

    Ah, finally someone who won't be envious of me!

    Bib, I am delighted to read your posts; seems like you have reached a stage where you have accepted and are comfortable with who you are. Unless we achieve that ourselves first, we cannot expect it from others, I believe.

    Speaking personally, I cannot claim to have got 'there' yet.

    That I can actually be serious at times, that I am actually pretty timid on the inside...

    Its hard when peoples definition of beauty is exactly what you are not...and once you try to act exactly like what you are not then I think you end up loosing yourself and not being true to everyone else around you. Its better to be proud of yourself and like yourself than to try and cover it all up with todays definition of beauty.

    Wonderful note. I've always said that the test of a good relationship is whether you like yoursel better when you're with that other person. But it might equally be that you're not self-conscious, not preoccupied with how you're coming across.

    I'd like to say that I'm not self-conscious, but sometimes I am...I am human. I don't really show it on the outside. Again it goes back to my confident exterior and my rather timid interior. I don't go around however acting like someone else or dressing to fit in with the 'in' crowd. I may be a little self-conscious but no one can really tell...only because my stronger side squashes the thought. I hope that makes sense.
