Well, you and Rose are both in that category, and both of you do it for me, so naturally by logic it seems to be the case. Maybe the experimentation field is too small though, and with too many factors.

I guess I need to find more cute Browncoat fire witches to test the theory on (trying to keep as many of the variables constant as I can).

Great. Now I can't see it either!

Anyway. There was so much going on in the last thread. Style vs. Skank, Regional attractiveness.

Red hair.

*creepy voice* "Mav" "YinYang"



(Please don't ferget I'm reddish, too...!)

I love Dunkin' Donuts. Mor'n Krispy Kreme (oxymoronic name).

Browncoat Pix (PR, Red and Green becomes you; as does dark and dark in the Vampire pic on the real pic thread. Must be nice to be photogenetic with any color combination...)

Coffee and spirit drinking.

So I really only skimmed the regional fashion thingy, and got me to wonderin' not so much the region maybe as the season/climate.

Or not.

Morning all! With a very special good morning to Emma. Haven't seen you in ages. How've you been?

I'll admit to having been a bottle red head for awhile. A really deep dark auburn with some crazy buttery blond highlights. I loved the color, but it was really hard on the upkeep. Red fades really fast...and for those of us that are faking the -do, it can be a bit much time and money. Oddly, brown is the same way (and doesn't look half as good on me), so it was back to blonde. I'll have to see if I can find any red-headed pictures....

PR, that second picture of you is great, with or without the photoshopping.

Um, what else? Hrmmm, I seem to always find myself attracted to dark-haired, light eyed skinny guys. Not 'the wind knocks him over' skinny, but the slight-of-build skinny. Oddly, I used to be all about the blond, blued eyed type. Figured that out while on-line talking about old TV shows. Everyone of the actors I used to like was blond. (John over Ponch and Bruce Penhall over both, Roy De Soto over Johnny Gage, Ace over Gopher, the list goes on). And every one of my boyfriends from that age were all blond. Interesting (at least to me....heh.)

At first I was thinking not so much truth to the regional/ skankiness idea. I've changed my mind.

I remembered my recent years in Tallahassee and how whoever is importing tube tops to that town needs to be stopped. It seems like almost every female in Tally thinks that tube tops look good. Instead it looks like a town full of cheap whores.

Ooh! Did someone mention Fire Witches?



"You are a Fire Witch! The Material Element of Fire is at your command. Your soul burns as bright as the fire you can conjure. Many look to you as the leader, and you accept the burden. Though a good person at heart, you can get lost in the moment and your fiery passion, or sometimes anger can get the best of you, but its ok. Its not like they really NEEDED eyebrows....

Common Powers:
Pyrokinesis- the ability to light and control fire with one's mind
Empathy- the ability to feel what other people are feeling
Unburnable- the ability to not get burned even by the hottest fire
Dragonspeak- the ability to speak and control dragons."

*wishes there was a Krispy Kreme nearby*

Closest one is in Downtown DC. For some reason they have yet to make it into the MD suburbs.


I must confess that I have had to supplement my auburninity for the last few years. As a young adult, the color was really stunning and was a defining characteristic. I've noticed since my pregnancy, my hair color has changed significantly. I'm not quite ready to give up the red so I have to dye it...if I didn't I fear it would be a really unattractive brown. I've lived too long as a red head to let time win. That, and I'm too damn vain.

Washington may whore itself out, but a woman in a tube top would be a rare site indeed. People here dress VERY conservatively. It's actually pretty boring.

EDIT: And I'm a Dark Witch.

Quote:

You are a Dark Witch! You are more powerful than witches of the Four Material Elements, and everyone knows it. Your powers stem from darkness and the night. Many have shunned you, and called you evil, even though you may not be. Most of the time, you try not to pick sides, only maintain the balance of nature. You love people, but refuse to show it, afraid that people will use it as a weapon against you, even if you could kill them with a thought. But you wouldn't do something like that....would you?

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.


The only big characteristic I've always found attractive has been nice, full lips. Even that has had a few exceptions. Not many. Maybe two or three.
I think I'm gonna stick with my natural coloring. It's nice and the upkeep on anything else would be too much work for me.
I love krispy kreme and need to never have them again...
I need to go to bed. My head hurts something fierce.

hey YinYang, Dug, Rugbug *hugs*, MsG *hugs*, DTH *hugs and a *

I have had my hair pretty much every color of the rainbow, sometimes multiple colors at the same time. I have dyed it red once (check the time stamp, that was almost 8 years ago):



Though have not been able to get it to do so well again, even with blonding beforehand. Now I keep it too short to do more than a frosting, which I have from time to time.

Gotta have my beard though. I feel naked without it.

Can't see the pic due to the fed firewall not liking the website it is hosted on. :\

Hey I'm

You are a Water Witch! The Material Element of Water is at your command. You are always calm, cool, and collected, and are sometimes stoic to the point of being cold and heartless. We know this is untrue as you actually feel more than most other people. You try to go with the flow as much as possible, but you stand up for yourself when you know you have to. Hard to tick off, you rarely use your full power, but when you do, you give the term "Ice Queen" a whole new meaning.

Common Powers:
Aquakinesis- the ability to create and control water with one's mind
Cryokinesis- the ability to create and control ice with one's mind
Glamour- the ability to cast an illusion
Empathy-the ability to feel what other people are feeling

Good morning everyone.
I went to see Ghost Rider last night and was not disappointed as I kinda knew what to expect. Aside from ignoring Nick Cage, the Rider really fit the way I imagined. Thanks MSG for recommending the flick. I woulda seen it sooner but I was waiting for GND to go with me like she said she would.
She's out of town.

This brings me to pointing something out. As mean as it sounds, I will not wait for anyone anymore. I tire of waiting for the fun I can be having regardless of who's with me. When someone recommends we do something and waits until its convinient for them and not for me, that's just selfish. I do feel a tiny bit guilty for going, but she decided to spend time with friends out of town and never acknowledged the fact that I really wanted to go and was waiting to go with her tonight.

I feel so childish for having gone, but again, if I wait for other people I will be left waiting for a train that ain't comin'. Is it wrong to have lost faith in people and their word?

I don't see that as losing faith in people.
I call that taking control of your life.

Living life on someone else's timetable can be stifling.
Having those around you see that you aren't going to be living by their rules anymore...not following their "rules" -now that's powerful, imo.

Mav- I am not sure how you could mispronounce it...how did they say it???

NV- Glad you liked it. Yeah if you just kind of blot out Nick Cage it's really good. I think it's good you didn't wait. When she gets back, if she still wants to see it, she's welcome to. I think it's fine to wait for friends if you have a firm committment to do something together, but if it's just a casual hey we should do that sometime, then I say you're free to do as you please.

I agree with Mav. You're not being mean, NVG, just taking control. It's not like your stomping all over everyone's plans on purpose. You're just making sure you get a chance to enjoy the things you want without waiting for everyone else to let you know when it's convenient.

If you constantly fit in to other people's plans, it winds up being assumed that that's how it will always be. And then people get ratty when you dare to suggest a different time! Believe me, I know. Ignore the naysayers. You are NOT being selfish. And if anyone says you are then it's a lot more likely that they're the ones being selfish!

It's actually pronounced "ma-vernon", but most people say it like its spelled "mav-or-neen" - either way is okay. I'm Mavourneen on every board no matter how its pronounced

Since most people call me Mav, I've always assumed they are saying "mav-or-neen" in their heads. Mav is just fine.

I ain't one to stomp all over anyone's plans anyways. Now dance over...

How do you ladies prefer for a guy to assert himself? I am realizing how little being nice gets a person so I want to be nice no more. But I also don't want to be an asshole.

A few weeks ago the girl that plays in our team ended up at the Tat shop and looked incredible. I asked what she was all dressed up for and she smiled. After mentioning she'd had her hair done I politely told her that she looked good. Not that her hair looked good. Can anyone point out the possible mistakes I made? She hasn't been around in a week and hasn't been out with us for two. I'm thinkin' she got back with her boyfriend so that might be a reason.

Really quick, for some F'ing reason that seems to happen alot around me all the time. It's really starting to bug my ass to no end.

I think its kind of like the previous posts about women. It's all about confidence in one's self and how you carry yourself. Maybe it's the difference between "thinking" you're the sh*t, and "knowing" you're the sh*t.

I don't think there was anything wrong with what you said to PaintballGal. Complimenting her is just fine. If she didn't respond, don't just give up. Next time you see her, act the same. Be Confident, NV.

Mav- yeah I know how it's said. I was just trying to figure out how to mispronounce it. I would never have though of Mav-oreen. I guess I can see it, but to me it's like Sibohan ( sha-von)I heard someone the other day say Sib-o-han for it and couldn't figure out what they were talking about. Must be the Irish thing. I grew up with my gran speaking a mix of Irish gaelic and English so I only heard the names when she said them. I guess my brain just doesn't process them the other way...mind you I thought Hermione from Harry Potter was said Her- moyne LOL

NV- hmm well the only mistake I can see is not noticing the new hairdo before she mentioned it, but that's hardly sufficent to prevent her from hanging out. I'd just assume she got really busy and call her up and say you missed seeing her at the last few outings and would she like to go out sometime... if she's back with her ex she'll say so and if not, you've got a date:)

I really, really wanted to tell her, but I was quite a few rows back and, well, I kinda had trouble not laughing. I was terrified I'd just laugh in her face. And Goddess knows she'd be humiliated enough.

It was bad enough that she didn't know, but it was the fact that the other woman didn't realise either that really killed me.

I know I shouldn't actually laugh but ohhhh so funny! Especially since the kid was little more than a baby. I swear, her teacher will call her name at school and she'll just sit there going "That's not my name!"

I was terrible with pronouncing words when I was a kid too. A side effect of reading a lot and not hearing the words. For years I thought lingerie was lin-ger-ey and that recipe was reh-sype. I didn't connect them with the words I heard every day at all.

My wife actually had a teacher argue with her about how to pronounce her name. Her parents chose an uncommon spelling which I believe is Welsh: Meagen. Her dad is of Scottish and Austrian heritage. Her mom is of Welsh derivation but did not know it then, so I'm not sure where the spelling came from.

The teacher argued with her that it is pronounced mee-gen instead of may-gen. Wouldn't accept that a child could posibly know her own name. When people start asking me if I'm sure about the spelling I just tell them it's Welsh and they look confused and shut up.

I had the same exact problem, but with different words. The ones that stick out the most in my mind are horizon hor-i-zohn and epitome ep-i-tome. I thought that they should be pronounced the way they looked.

One word that stuck out for me was melee. Most Irish people pronounce it m'lee, but I pronouce it the English way, maylee. I just did it automatically since the e had an accent.

Actually, Maylee would be a cute name for a girl... And appropriate, if Jayne ever had a daughter. *plots fic*

See now I think Jayne , if he had a daughter, would name her something like Precious or Princess:)

Precious Cobb. Priceless.

On reflecting the weeks events I spent the whole trip back from town wondering, "What do women want?"
I have no clue. Any idea of what it could be is terribly jaded by the constant struggle I observe all around me. There is no way it could be the same for all women, but what is it that you all want.

Just curious.
Curiousity licked the cat, (people on the tag board seem to get a bit squirmy over the death and possible consumption of cats)

Wierd day.

Lol, another interesting thing, as a child, I used the name Mayle (pronounced Maylee) in stories and games I made. I pretty much just made up the name myself (like Rhyianan) and decided it would be fun to use.

edit* What this woman wants (and has) is someone I feel comfortable with, someone that makes me feel special and loved. Someone with similar passions and interests, that doesn't mind books taking me away every so often. Someone that understands that there needs to be a special connection of the spirit before sex can happen. A long-term companion that shares my love of children and understands my intense desire for a houseful of them to take care of.



(waits for the sentance fragment fairy to send me to a firey death)

Preferably someone with the same taste in books, movies and TV (I need SOMEONE in Ireland to watch Heroes or I'm gonna explode!) Someone with a fun sense of humour. Someone who is willing to have an actual relationship BEFORE we start having sex but who also likes lots of sex and who won't be offended when I fall asleep right after when we do start having it. Yes, I am a girl. I *really* try not to fall asleep but it just happens! Someone who's okay with the silly, mushy stuff every now and then and someone who's comfortable being with someone who's just a teeny bit crazy. Although she *does* have a note from her Doctor to say that she isn't. Any more.

Of course I realise someones like all of the above are rare. It may be why I don't date much!

Love the new signature, NVG!

Hee hee hee! Maylee the gamer! That's a really cool name. And I can totally see Maylee Cobb, or Melee Cobb. Of course, Precious Cobb and Princess Cobb are now stuck in my head.
