Kristin, we can have a tiara try-on after our bra fittings!

Woot!

Also, I'm crossing my fingers for you in terms of this little work meeting...just remember, no matter what happens, you HATE this job and are going to be leaving it anyway ASAP.

Not that that's all that comforting, but...thinking of you.

Vortex is teh evil.

Mwah hahahaha! Join ussssssss . . .

[navel-gazing deleted, now that I've thought better of it]

that I am, like, a manatee in a burlap sack comparatively,

Just show up. But leave the body image demons back in your room.

There's something to be said for revelations, Tep. I think it's cool to pinpoint the source of the anxiety... that might just be me though.

I do not have fancy clothes and have no idea what I'll wear. It may very well be jeans! But probably a black dress type of thing. Hm. Actually, maybe my wedding dress.

t makes note to check to see if it needs dry cleaning

So, OK, I have ONE fancy thing. But no shoes to match. I will likely wear my wedding dress and Tevas.

I was just navel-gazing out loud, damn it. I haven't done it in a long time, okay? I don't expect anyone to get it -- it's my stuff.

t edit That was in reply to Hec, not Nora.

Hmm.. I want to look nice, but it is more important that I be comfortabel . so I will not be the belle of the ball. but I will look good. and I am looking forward to wearing my bargain dress out for new years eve this year, too.

and btw, I don't think it is mentally ill. If everyone at the F2F suddenly fell down on the floor and worshiped me and my stunning buetay - that would really be cool.

and now I get to go to work and yell at kids. please let there be a few fun questions .

of course being worshiped for my spelling and typeing would be just down right hysterical.

I want to see you, Tep. Of course I am from the desert, so I might find manatees curious, but I don't think so. But I get it...I spent the last one feeling naked half the time cause I don't dress like I want people to look, but I got into it, you know?

Of course I am from the desert, so I might find manatees curious, but I don't think so.

heh.

Hey, Tep, I know you weren't looking for hairpats or anything, but let me just add my assurance - I totally feel ya.

I feel anxious on meeting so many for the first time, too. What if people don't reassure me of my beauty/adorableness/sexiness? Hardly anybody's seen me before. Maybe they'll find me icky or boring. I feel pretty confident that this will not happen, and yet. The Brain, she will mess with you.

Oh, and since I specifically thought of you guys while I was dressing (and don't want JohnSw to feel that he's the only one with unmentionables mentioned) - today's a blues/greens tie-dyed patterned bra and black string bikini with a blue flaming heart. They don't actually match, but I think that individually they both show a lot of 'tude.
