Hello, since you made it this far won't you go a little further? I love sharing my adventures in makeup with you all and busting the euro-centric status quo that tricks us into believing the makeup industry doesn't have to make room for us. Remember, happy girls are the prettiest - Audrey Hepburn

Intriguing v. Interesting

Pardon me a selfish rant but I've always wondering what word would be describe my enigmatic nature.  I've been told that I'm a "special kind of person" which I have not taken to offensively.  I'd rather be singled out for the things that I couldn't explain than ignored for the things I could.  However, I've juggled two words in my head "interesting" and "intriguing."  Interesting means holding the attention while intriguing means engaging the interest to a marked degree.  Now I will say I think I am freakin' awesome and if you disagree feel free to fornicate yourself repeatedly and to completion with a railroad spike.  But I could say that I am intriguing and interesting?  I think that I do peak the interest but my ability to maintain that interest can wane from time to time.  I think I can be interesting but at times lack the intrigue.  What does one do when they can't find the perfect word for themselves?  I guess let others find it for them.

You Should Call Your Penis Lisa

As am sure you all know, men have the tendency to refer to the inanimate objects they own by feminine pronouns and adjectives, i.e. "My car's a beauty, she purrs like a kitten" etc.  But what I've noticed is that men always seems to refer to their penis as a guy.  Why the distinction?  As far as we know penises do not come alive at night, jump off their holder and live a life unto their own.  This would lead one to believe that they are inanimate.  And unless your junk is on loan I'm pretty sure you own it...so why can't you refer to your penis as Janet instead of Johnson, Pauline instead of Peter?  Does is it have something to do with the fact that a penis is a source of a man's power and that to associate power with a female is just to mind-bottling (mind-bottling, you know when your thoughts get trapped in a bottle) to comprehend? Perhaps maybe.  It's clear that despite the machismo, men low-key have a subconscious fear of women overpowering them.  I would too, women are crazy! But I digress, just a thought that you should try it some time and see how you feel about it.  Calling your wang Lisa instead of The Octagon just sounds so much nicer.
