    Sometimes I joke I grew up on Sesame Street. You know--where the yellow Big Bird and green Cookie Monster and red Elmo were all friends? We did not have racial divide (at least that I noticed and I'm pretty observant) in my school. Granted there were more whites than any other race, but the races were integrated, nonetheless. It was a little shocking to me in college. Freshman year at UF and I get out of class in Turlington Square and it's racial divide central and all the stereotypes I'd only heard about but never actually seen; the blacks calling out "Ruf. Ruf. Ruf." like dogs (or dawgs), the "praise-Jesus"-types preaching on top of the wall, the Asians, the preps, and so on. It was really strange to me. I didn't like it. I've learned a lot since then; not so much things I wasn't informed of before, just became more aware. I do see prejudice in myself at times and it saddens me. But overall I think I see people color-blindly and always have. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I like you. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    You do that, too?! You MUST be a B. And she MUST be a D. I do that ALL THE TIME to my best friend with huge knockers. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    You are like, SO cool. People actually sell tickets for less? Bah....I sell pencils for $200 and with it you get a free sold-out ticket. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    My sprout? You're funny. I disagree for me personally. But, you're funny. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Oooo, a challenge. Yes! You're on! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Umm, I never say never but, well, OK: NEVER! Adoption is our method of choice should we choose to have children. Besides, I like the idea of picking my kid out, rather than just getting stuck with him/her. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I must second Valinda, Krisanne. You're on my "Must meet" list. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Oh dear. My hopes for eternal romance have shattered. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I receive many magazines and publications... Bazaar is one of the few I actually pay for. It has its perks. But overall I have been less than gratified by it, true. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Would you like to know just how ridiculous I can be? Please see attached. P.S. Yes, I see the error and it was corrected before sent, just wasn't when I scanned in this copy. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Mmmm, not so much a trapeze, but the Deland skyvan has a bar under the tailgate you can grab onto, flip out, and hold on to and dangle from while the plan flies. Of course, I have never successfully been able to accomplish this maneuver. I always loose my grip with one hand and fall off. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I was going to make an S & M joke, but...well...it was SO obvious. You really haven't been on top of your game lately, Captain Conflagrantator. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Ooooo, I'm on aloof like white on rice. Seriously, it intrigues me.. Talk about being born a certain way: One of my mutti's favorite stories about me is in preschool when the teacher was repeatedly sending me home with "Carrie talks too much." discipline slips. One day (as the story goes from the teacher to my mutti) I was sat in-between "the twins" who had hardly uttered a word for weeks in the preschool environment. By the end of the day, "The Twins" were being sent home with a "Talks too much" discipline slips, too. I just can't help myself. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    One of the most important things I've learned in my time spent observing people (and I quite seriously for research purposes had to literally sit and watch people) is the grass is never greener. Everyone--rich, poor, tall, short, thin, obsese, black, white, whatever--deals with things. One might think, "Well, I'd rather deal with that.," but until one has actually been in that person's shoes, one not only does not know that to be true, but is likely wrong altogether. And people often only let you see what they want you to see. You never, ever know what someone is dealing with/has dealt with privately. If I find myself a little jealous of a friend who just went on a big Greek island vacation, I stop myself and remember not everything is at it seems. I mean, sure they went and had an amazing time (I saw pictures.) but you never know what's going on behind the scenes and might even later be revealed...

    Or bra even. They tend to be won over easily. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    You get it!!! Treat yourself, people, and do so often!!!

    Not so much. "Damaged" is a metephor unless you are actually talking about a broken bone or something. If you're using a metaphor such as "damaged" to describe yourself I can't imagine it comes from a happy place, but rather a sad one. Sounds like you have some friends here that want you to be happy. Perhaps seeking out ways to be so is a good idea.

    Nicely put! I went through a whole "I-can't-believe-you-did-such-and-such-to-me" blah, blah, blah phase before I came to that epiphany. And thank goodness I did b/c I have a great relationship with my parents now. Now, for the body image issue: See a therapist.

    You've got it all wrong, Fruit Loops. And leashes are only necessary in training. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I never was much into the dressing your pets thing but... I'm going to buy the matching people-T and wear it to the next charity event w/ Cruz (and probably to the grocery store and stuff, too). And I just wanted ya'll to know that. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
