So today was the big bad day - officially downhill from here - from 35 and like a freight train from here on out.

Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes.

But good Thai food today and lots of pressies - homemade soap, DVDs, candy (like I need to be...

prudence:
i just read your journal from 10/01. for my entire adult life, i had grown used to people thinking i was beautiful and sexy, and while i appreciated these comments, i always worried that there was nothing more to me. then, earlier this year i developed a medical condition that can best be described as 'cosmetically devastating,' especially for females. although the condition really sucks, in some ways it was sort of a good kick in the head to make me realize that my beauty doesn't come from what you see on the surface. they guys who were attracted to me before were still attracted to me now, even though they know what i have. coincidentally, i decided to tell everybody about it in my journal today, certain that all the people who had posted how pretty i was in my journal would no longer think so, but thankfully, that hasn't been the case at all. it's so nice to know that there's something attractive and appealing about ME as a PERSON, instead of what i look like.

happy birthday. i actually learned in school once that the official start of middle age is 36, so you're not on you're way downhill yet, and don't even have to be if you don't let it. you're on the top, and you should enjoy it.

incidentally, when i met my husband, he was 35 and i was a hot, young 23 year old wink. we've been together for 9 years, and married for foursmile

Okay - if you get the chance - go back and read the 10-1-2002 journal and post a reply..I think it is important and a wee bit of a prelude to this. When speaking just purely of physical attraction (not that it is ultimately that important at all) - I subscribe to Bishop's Big Bang theory. And, NO, by Big Bang I am NOT talking...

Okay - a bit of my philosophy on a part of life. This actually started in Jessica's journal on inside/outside beauty. You may want to look there first and then come back. But it made me want to write. Alot.
Now - many of you will probably think I come across as a big hypocrite as you read what I write. I'm more guilty than...

jessica:
I'm sorry, I just finally read this. I'm so touched that somebody would actually be inspired enough by a topic I wrote about to write as much as you did. I wholehartedly agree with you on your points and I'm glad you posted them, as maybe it will inspire others to think in a different way, or at least look at things from a different angle for a moment.
Thinking of the person you're dating if you were blind is an interesting concept. I think I did that for awhile and then started questioning it. I would jump into relationships with people because of how good of a person they were and then later realize I wasn't that physcially attracted to them, ha ha.
When my friends would ask why I was going out with a hair-plugged 38 year old overweight man, I'd say "when you are attracted to somebody's essence, you become attracted to them in every way, including physical"- which is true to a point. But I'd like to believe there is a happy medium out there somewhere.
As Judge Judy says, "Beauty fades, but dumb is forever". You're right, what's infinite is the emotional impact a person leaves with another.
Then again, Judge Judy also said "don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining", and that just doesn't make much sense, ha ha.
Don't mind me- I'm just up really, really late. Or really early, depending on which way ya look at it. smile
colette:
I agree.

I could leave it at that, but I won't. I have this thing about compliments and women...it is so crazy...Men yell out at them on the street because they are beautiful and women get mad, girls where little skirts and half tops and are whistled at and get mad, a man compleimetns you sweetly at a bar and they get mad...but if youd on't say anything, they get pissed. You can't win either way. I personally love any compliments, I wave and smile at the ghetto boys on my street when they yell shit. I dance with the obese drunk redneck with the broken leg when he says I am beautiful and can we dance...(True Story) I accept drinks and smile and say thank you. It feels good to be appreciated....

As for the inner beauty thing...I am constantly amazed by the relationship my boyfriend and I have. When we met, I had a short bob and weighed like 110lbs.l Terribly skinny (drugs) no boobs or ass or anything really. But he loves to tell me how he fell in love with me the moment he heard my laugh. He also love to tell me how much he hated my hair. But it didn't matter after we got to know each other. Now, years later, I have gotten boobs, an ass, had long hair, super short hair, red hair, black hair, blond hair, knee surgery and gotten really fat, lost it, and he still tells me I am beautiful and wants to fuck all the time. He doesn't particularly like my large amount of piercings or tatoos, but he likes me. Just me. And we know so many differnet things that it is fun to share our specioalties with each other...you can tell by looking at our bookshelves...
WE interest each other and we laugh alot.

I once thought the best complement I ever got was from an ex of mine...he said
"I can't masturbate unless I am thinking of you"

I think it is now what my boy said to me awhile ago
"You are cool enough to go out with and homey enough to stay home with."

I never thought I would ever meet someone who liked me in zit cream as much as lingerie, who actually listened when I spoke.It is probalby annoying to read all this, but it just amazes me when I meet people who like me anyway...and proof that inner beauty rocks.

froggy:
too true. confidence is a big thing too, people tend to believe whatever you believe about yourself (well, you would know right?) so if you carry yourself like you are a ugly or super hot, that kinda' sets. maybe this is the... wait what was i gonna say? just got distracted by thoughts of steak and beer.. smile
csilla:
personally i think this is a beautiful way of thinking and looking at things. many times it is hard, and we dont follow it though. i know that people notice how i look, before being interested in my personality. thats just how it is. but what it comes down to is definitly personality. and to me, thats what beauty is-inside and out. a person becomes ugly to me when they are not beautiful on the inside. they could be the most gorgeous model...but if they are not a good person, then they are ugly to me, and i literally see them that way (sorry if this doesnt make any sense)
But you said something that made me think, and i thought was very beautiful- that if you were to go blind, would you still love the person you were with. and that is the essence of beauty and love.

and you are NOT a puss for thinking this way. you are the kind of person i would grab up in a second smile

xoxo csilla
p.s. thanks for your email. it made me feel good that you think i am intelligent and well-written. it meant a lot.

so this fave oldie best describes which SG or army member?

she don't have to try
when her eyes shine with the wisdom of pain

absolute word on your bands list my good man. what are the chances of the new suede material not being complete knickers do you think?

Eh, that's not so bad, the first thing my mom did when we got a computer was to download many many songs sung by William Shatner.
