Morning, all!
It's ok, Seryn...I am also shaving for D*C. Granted, it's only my face, but I count that as a male version of primping. Oh, and I still have no idea how females go through the whole waxing thing. I tried something similar to that on certain parts of me, and the agony was indescribable. That and Nair...never again! I really commend those of you that can use that stuff on a regular basis.
Having said that, I also appreciate smooth legs. It is not a necessity of mine, but it is appreciated. That and the two eybrows thing. 
And I'm hoping I fit into the cultured portion of the attendees of D*C...I have been warned that it is a world of geekiness, but I am looking forward to it nonetheless...the fact that I am going, and the time and effort put into creating the costume and filling my head with knowledge of our BDH's and their wonderful 'verse...yeah, I'm a geek.
Ok, coffee, and then I shall return.

It's interesting that men also feel the need to primp sometimes but I bet it doesn't take you as long to get ready for a special do (not including costume preparation as that can expand to fill as much time as you're willing to put in for either sex!). I usually spend about 2 minutes on my appearance before going out but that can stretch up to 2 hours or more! Not that it makes a great deal of difference!
If I'm in a low self confidence mood then no amount of makeup will make me feel (or look) good.
Does anyone have any little tricks for bursting out of a depressed "I am not fit to be seen" cycle? I'd love to know of any morale boosting excersises that work.

Emma - I think it'll cheer you up to give up more details about your nudist event. 
But really - I've seen your pictures, and you're gorgeous! I don't know any tricks, other than to just keep telling yourself that it'll pass...
Seryn - good to hear from you! And no one else may see your shiny legs, but you will! There's a certain satisfaction to having an evening of beautifying - and this is coming from a woman who didn't shave for three years during grad school! The cult of Cosmo should be thrown down! And yet...
Whitefall - of course you have friends! But I'm glad you got proof of that!
OK, catchup done. Onto my romantic adventures last night... I got a really really fabulous massage (he's going to night school for it) then dinner of turkey soup which sounds kinda blah but was yummm! We also watched sex and the city, which... go him for not getting all "This is a chick show, ewww!"
Then... I told him some of my deep dark secrets, and he didn't run away. Yay! He even said nice things. Very nice things. No official anything, but I feel like we'll be together for a while. *sigh* *a little jumping up and down*

Emma, it usually takes me about half an hour in the morning to get completely ready for work, from waking up, showering, dressing, and walking out the door. Takes the wife a little bit longer. Same goes for going out on the town...though I have known the wife to take an hour or more to get ready.
Confidence boosting? You are a beautiful woman, Emma, and you have nothing to worry about. If anyone else has anything negative to say, kick 'em in the shins.

Yay for you, Mal4prez! Yay for you!
And I'm not jealous. Not a bit. And I will refrain from sulking. Really. Watch me refrain.

Where did you meet this guy and where can I find one?!?!?!

I'm with you PR, totally glad for Mal4Prez and not the teesniest bit jealouse! I think we've grown as people!
And Tristan? You are a sweet kind man who is good for a girl's ego! I'm just sulking a bit because I've got photos back and I can't find one of me that I like. I'm annoyed with my friend for not finding a tactful way of telling me that my wobbly bits were on display before taking a photo (and not the good kind of wobbly!)
I guess there's always photoshop!

Excellent job refraining from sulking PR:)
Morning all...I think. Sorry somewhat out of it as I had a teacher meeting at 7 am which required getting up at 5:45 and unfortunately my internal clock only does on the hour so I woke at 5 am...iced mocha is helping some, but oh well.
Seryn- Oh I see you shaved 'cause you're sharing a room with girls ( mind out of gutters all). I know if I were sharing with other girls I'd go the whole 9 yards to get ready and all. Not 'cause they're cruel or anything ( though some are), but because it's sort of expected and you don't want to be the unkempt one in the crew:) You never know, maybe Nathan will take one look at you, be over come, leap the table and beg you to run off with him. Hey get that look off your face, it could happen
Must run to the car now and fetch the children's books. Our first unit in English is going to be reading/ identifying characteristics of, making rubric for, and then writing children's books. For the most part my munchkins are being really good sports and keeping the eye rolling to a minimum( to be fair I am making them sit there while I read them Make Way for Ducklings and Winnie the Pooh)
Emma- ok we've seen your pictures... there were some fab legs, and a great figure so I don't know of which wobbly bits you speak :) HUGS....now what was all this about a neart lesbian encounter???? And how were the lemurs??? ( I have lemur envy)
I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

Can I just add - this is the first time in my whole gorramn life I've dated someone I really like. And I'm 34 for criminysake, it's about time! So don't be too sulky, PR, it was a long icky path to get me here...
Seryn - when Nathan runs off with you, be sure to bring him by to visit. A few successful dates doesn't mean I can't drool over the Captain still!
Yeah, and Emma - I'm not buying that 'wobbly' stuff. Pictures are silly. They don't show the truth! (I've come to believe this because I take terrible pictures!!)
