64 ways to say I Love You

I've been feeling a bit down the last few days, and I'm not sure why. Perhaps it is related to what Neil has dubbed "The Chinababy Syndrome." Luckily, he bought me a big box of crayons and a nice sketchpad for Hanukkah. I mentioned this to a couple of people and they laughed, as if this were a silly present. Do Not Mock the Crayons! I adore crayons

most of my friends are guys so it is not unusual for me to be surrounded by them as if we were in some old Hollywood musical and they were going to scoop me up and carry me around the stage

That is delightful! Some of the boys in my theatre group used to pick me up and carry me around, but they don't do it anymore. So sad.

Maybe you need to just happen to be standing on a chair w/ your arms outstretched more often? :)

The guys are total dolls, and incredibly gallant to me.

[jitterbugparfum]

Good plan, except for maybe the chair. I think part of the reason I get picked up is that I'm short. Are you?

[goytoy]

Yup - well, not quite 5'3". Shortish. So that may be an astute hypothesis.

I suppose you just have to stand with outstretched arms, like a plaintive toddler.

No, no.... she needs an evening gown, and/or fishnets, and her arms should be spread wide, with flair. Never plaintive. All about Teh Sexy Chorine.

Darlin', you get picked up by men because that's what God designed you to be -- She Who Is Picked Up.
