I'm not stupid.
So I'm going to stop comparing my love life to anyone else's.

I'm going to stop comparing my body to anyone else's.

Or... I'm going to try harder, anyway.

Wish me luck?

2. Or you could compare your love life and body to mine
and feel really great about yourself.

But seriously, good luck !!!!

6. Hah. Let me clear up that little misconception...
I should have said my NONEXISTENT love life.

It's by choice, and I need to stop comparing myself to others, and making myself feel unworthy. It's my choice!

:hug:

It is sort of a stab at the Obama cult BS going around.
I like both candidates but just prefer one a little more.

I don't like to revel in other player's injuries, but let's just say that I'm happy this happened before we play Milan next week.

27. Hahahahaha...
well the GOOD Ronaldo was fucking phenomenal. The second goal in this clip... OMG I love him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zKATpRYQMs

And he had so many injury problems... I don't think he ever played to his fullest potential... but it's good that he's maybe going out on a high note, at least.

As for Cristiano... he's not even human. And those smug smirks he does lately... BAH! x( :P

23. I think I know what you're saying because
VERY recently I've decided to think the same way. My attitude adjuster goes like this: I'm not in a relationship, once in a while it's lonely, my brother calls to tell me that he and his "boobie" (live in girlfriend) are having a scrumpdiddlyumptious Valentines Day with the candles and little whatnots and the cutesy-poo sentiments and later they're going to *blah, blah* and I'm going to try, TRY not to think of him as SMUG.

Anyway, you're beautiful all-ways. That's the way I see it. :yourock:

Edited on Thu Feb-14-08 07:30 PM by Mike03
My heart goes out to you, because I know exactly what you mean. (Or maybe that is presumptuous of me, but I think I know where you are coming from.)

After a while of deconditioning yourself, you will think of yourself as normal and everyone else as crazy. It's absolutely nuts to chase after these fantasies; our lives are short. Congratulations to you to realizing this. And of course I wish you luck. It took me a long time to get to the point you are at now. I wish I could have those years back.

41. That's about the age when I got... maybe it took me a bit longer
38 is very young nowadays. Embark on your new future. It's exciting to transcend these obstacles early on; so many people I know never realize this until it is too late.

38. You are so smart...
I wish you much success with this.

I have to tell you a story. I had a young woman working for me. She was 25 and very cute. I hired her, I supervised her, managed her workflow, told her when she was doing a good job, told her how cute her boyfriend was... Long story short, one day, out of the blue, she started being very pissy with me and I couldn't figure out why. Nothing had changed that I could see. A few days later she was walking past my desk. I was brushing my hair quickly after lunch, and I stopped her to pass on a few tasks. She said, "Don't flash that mane at me!" and walked off. Then I realized her attitude changed after I got a new haircut (very long hair, grows too fast to keep styled, so I only cut it once or twice a year, a foot at a time, and the rest of the time I braid it into bondage). So, she had hair envy. I almost couldn't contain myself! I was laughing hysterically on the inside. You see, I am 50 years old! Twice her age! She's a size 2 and I'm a size 16!!! LOL!!! I'm cute, but not THAT cute! LOL!!! So, I showed her pictures of my kids... 22, 25, & 28... and told her she should never be jealous of a woman twice her age... we are only 20 something for a short time!

Cute fades. Intelligence, a sense of humor, kind heartedness... these are the things that matter! I'd rather be 50, single and smart, than 25 and dumb enough to be jealous of a woman twice my size and age! LOL!!!

Look inward, my dear redqueen! All the beauty is there!

42. You're not stupid? I knew that already, so you didn't need to post it.
I suspect most others around here already knew that you're not stupid, as well.
