It's all right to feel that you're not sexy as long as you don't let that prevent you from having self-esteem. I certainly applaud your statement that men have no power over you - that's how it should be.

Oh, I have self-esteem. It's just a little hard sometimes realizing that I'll never be Sexy Mysterious Girl. But yeah, I get along just fine as I am.

Well... I think this reflects that we can have a skewed vision of the world. I think it's positively lovely that you have honest and true love. Honestly, that's what I'm looking for in a guy... and the truth part just in general with people. I think it's wonderful that you can be true to your feelings and to yourself. I also think it's great that you act with your feelings and your mind rather than your sex drive. Because that will lead you to make better decisions in life, and when you do fall in love, it'll be really wonderful, true love, because you won't be misguided by sex appeal or anything like that. And you will be able to tell that the person you fall in love with will love you for who you are, and not by their sex drive either. Also, that you can express yourself so beautifully with the written words (and really, your work astounds me) is also a sign that you have a good heart, a caring heart, and a loving heart. ^_^ So... while you may not believe you have sex appeal, I still think what you do have is positively lovely.

(When I said the part about looking for it in a guy, that's not to imply that you are like a guy. It's to say that I wish I knew more people who are like you in the respects of honesty and love - especially where men are concerned, as I'm attracted to men in a romantic way)

I so knew what you meant! Thank you for all the lovely sentiments. *glomp* I know that honesty means a lot to some people, but sometimes... you know how guys complain that girls always go for the bad boys? *lol* I believe love is stronger when it's not based on sex, but sometimes I'd just like to be able to make that choice.

You're so sweet. You must have good karma out your ears.

::glomp:: I completely agree with you. Honest love, love that isn't based just on physical desires, will be stronger because it won't just depend on wanting to have sex with someone, and will be firmly rooted and last a long, long time. I think given everything you said, you will be able to make that choice, because you're honest with yourself and with your emotions, so when you find someone who can appreciate and return that honesty, it'll be wonderful. ::hug:: It might not happen today or tomorrow, but it will happen some day.

And thank you. ::glomp::

You have no breasts? Since when?

As far as I can recall (and I double-checked with my TASP photos), any aesthetician would be moved (to write at least a journal article, if indeed not a full book).

You -are- sexy, rache. I'll stamp it on your forehead with red ink if I have to: "Approved by off. XY chromosome carrier."

[now, has that XY done much good for me? doesn't seem like it has... all the hassle, none of the membership benefits; but that's a story for another time.]

I don't have to wear a bra and I've been mistaken for a guy a handful of times. I might as well be breastless.

Thank you for the sweet photo comment. I'm blushing. But being sexy has nothing to do with how you look, I believe - it's more about the way you move, think, and behave. I know plenty of people who would be ugly if they weren't sexy on the inside.

As I've said to you many times, I'm so glad I'm not XY.

Meh, I don't have to wear a bra either. I like that. I'm very lazy, so the less articles of clothing to put on, the better.

I'm afraid I don't have anything profound to say. But I hope you had a good day. Chocolate is good. I need to go to bed.

Happy (belated) Valentines day.

Hear hear! The love between you and your mechanical pencils is TRUE and GOOD. My pen collection and I wish you the best of happiness.

For the record, being sexy and being worthy of love are two completely different things. I think you're a bit younger than me, and I think I came to the decision that I was some sort of weird hybrid neutral gender when I was around your age, so maybe we're of the same species, but I've been thinking about that. I think it's different kinds of love. Some people aren't the type for love at first sight, boy I just have to get to know HIM/HER that mysterious stranger who so intrigues me. Some people are more the kind who get good friends, and from there find a more sincere attachment, and love. It doesn't always have to burn and smolder.

Call me an optimist. (Which I'm not, generally.) My pens bring me much more in the way of warmfuzzy feeling for now. ^_^

Wow, we are long lost twins. You got it exactly.

Hope you and your pens will be happy for a long time to come. :)
