You go to RED LOBSTER. ha

Nor go in the back door.

I went with like-like. It just felt right.

Because. I feel like TM gave me a raw deal. some was truthful but some wasn't. Not like I'd go to each person until I find someone to agree with me--but to rate me as "not attractive" and "not pretty" is just a non-objective falsehood. And if shapey and sebby say I am not pretty then I will accept it at that point. I just asked the temp near me and she is SO BLUNT and she said, "no you are pretty why?" and she is beautiful.

I was thinking about it this morning. How TM handled it was a shitty way to go about it. I volunteered, no doubt but he was mean spirited about it. Fine if I don't meet your "high" "strict" standards and by no means lie, but he gets off on putting people down. What I spout on the board is empty rhetoric if certain people take it to heart they have issues. I wish no one any ill will and fuck, I am nice. He's MEAN. He fucking enjoys putting down people. and the ones that piled on were not my usual core of friends. They stayed the hell out of it or defended me.

You really are delusional. Out of everything everyone has posted over the past few days, you took one sentence by fringe and applied it to the exclusion of all others. That's cool. I think it's pretty clear that you are insane and need acceptance so bad you're willing to be evaluated by two additional people to try to get it.

I look forward to what each of them has to say. In fact, I hope you keep asking people until you're satisfied with a response, because that day ain't comin'.

Objectively speaking, under anyone's standard's, you are not pretty.

TM

I think the self-delusion for that (one I haven't used) is "this won't hurt that bad" or the pragmatic "he's just going to keep asking for it, so I might as well."

Maybe I should have approached this differently, like a head-to-head competition. New poll: Shape Shifter or nfh?

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

I chanted the first sentence over and over for ten hours. I also met a hot chick on the run, whom I ended up eating lobsters with. Al fresco.

Is that helpful?

A friend of mine teaches my run class. He biked the Leadville 100 last weekend, and when he came back, he said a similar mantra kept him going for 8:49:51. He beat his time from last year by ten minutes and moved from the top 80 to the top 50. He also ended up with mild hypothermia thanks to a nasty thunderstorm for the last two hours of the race. I don't think he dined al fresco, but he probably had a beer or two at a bar after they let him out of the hospital.

It was hard to bitch much about running up and down hills for an hour after he told us about the race.

Regardless, I am discreet and thoughtful and nice. We agree to disagree and you are a mean bastard. I will meet other people and you can think I am a wack job. whatever.

No. Chappaquiddick.

Although the story I heard was Penske did the old dine and dash.

My uncle used to chant that before Russian Roulette.

I hope this isn't inappropriate, but if it is RT can bitchslap me and take it down.

After becoming emboldened by a successful running outing (unlike yesterday's discouraging effort - ugh- but I digress) I registered for this Breast Cancer Research Fundraising Run. I'm supposed to raise $250 (though it doesn't say what happens if I don't).

If anyone is interested in sponsoring me, please PM me for details.

To put my money where my feet are, I will match the total amount collected from Lawtalkers sponsors (up to $500 -- in case some stinking rich heir/ess out there is planning to send me to the poorhouse as a hilarious joke).

Alternatively (or in addition), if anyone is interested in forming a team, let me know! I don't think I can be a team of one - but if I can, someone come up with a funny boob-related name, and I'll do the team thing.

I am volunteering for this. Breakfast afterward so I can report on your hotness to the board?
