:: sniff :: That was beautiful, **HerbalTea**! Maybe we could come up with some other things that are “wrong” with you. Are you short? “I’m so short and stumpy! I have to get everything hemmed.” Are you tall? “I’m just a big giant oaf and pants are never long enough.” Are you average height? “My height is so boring. I wish I was tall and willowy/cute and petite.” ---

> [@HerbalTea](#): > > “My face is absolutely covered with pimples. There are even some on my back.” she made some excuse and ducked into the back room. She was pretty frosty with me for the rest of the day and only talked to me when necessary. 😃 I just died at this. 100% top notch work, even moreso if you had to come up with it off the top of your head. (Though I’m sure most of us spend hours fixating on our flaws and can call them up on a minutes notice.) You’re doing a great service by posting this: am I you, or am I the attention whore?..I wonder if everyone has been a little of both at some point. ---
