I’m neither ugly nor stunning. I consider [myself](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v186/foxymoron/menov03.jpg) moderately attractive. Most days, anyway.

I’m one of those rare women who actually likes her body. I think I have a great body (not model-thin, but thin enough with curves in all the right places) and a nicely shaped face. Unfortunately, I never outgrew acne. So that seriously detracts from the overall package. But since guys look at things other than women’s faces first, it’s hardly a problem! 😛

I dunno. I’ve always thought I was fairly average-looking, but my pics have gotten an okay response on the Dope…but of course, nobody posts to say “yeah, you’re hideous”, so I take that with a grain of salt. I’d like to post some pics here, but I am not posting the damned Cowboy Bebop pictures again (those little attention whores have overstayed their welcome), so you get two [crappy](http://img76.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img76&image=crappyportraitpower8fy.jpg) [portraits](http://img168.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img168&image=crappyportraitpower20hv.jpg) courtesy of my cell phone. I ask that you ignore the four-walled junkpile that is my apartment.

On a bad day, it makes me cry to look in the mirror. ON a good day, well, at least I don’t cry. I used to be cute when I was a teen, but kids, divorce, depression, and tons of weight changed that. I don’t really know how to link, so here’s the link to my Myspace profile. [http://profiles.myspace.com/users/5825341](http://profiles.myspace.com/users/5825341)

I seem to have a look that women either really dig, or really do not dig. I don’t get a lot of lukewarm for whatever reason. For this reason, though my mirror says otherwise, I have come to the conclusion that I am [Harvey Keitel](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000172/).

Am I ugly? Yep, and proud of it.

```
I look at it this way. Beautiful people, just wait. Your looks will fade, you too will someday be ugly. Me, I'll be ugly till the day I die, and quite some time after :)

I guess I consider my self in the average/chunky category. This is a picture of [me](http://img229.exs.cx/img229/6474/scan00080pw.jpg) taken about a year ago but I wear my hair straight most of the time now unless I just feel lazy.

You’re extremely cute. And I mean that in a good way… cute is my highest compliment.
