Thank you thank you thank you

You are all *much* too kind 🙂

OD is all about being nice, so I guess i have to take what you said with a grain of salt… (BTW, we still haven’t managed to buy salt for the new house. I forget every time. It’s difficult to live withought salt. Try it some time. Actually, it’s still better than trying to live withought bread. Maybe they can change passover a bit. It’s a crappy holiday. This way, it would be all about sweets!).

It’s hard to know how one is, in general. It’s supposed to be easier to know how you are physically, but still I can’t say that I know if I am really considered pretty or not. I was quite ugly as a child and not very cute as an adolescent – today i know i have more style and I take better care of how I look – but I’m also older, so who knows…

This is what i think of my looks today. I think I look “regular” to most people, but for a very small percentage of society that finds my pretty. I know about them bcause once in a rare while someone says something about my looks that I can tell is not just a compliment. Like when my friend cellery saw me on a TV appearence (i was in a dumb quiz show) and called to tell me that “If anyone calls the station to ask for your number, don’t give it to them!” or when I asked my friend Pea how to gain the courage to talk to executives, and he laughed cynically and said “Don’t worry, everyone will happily talk to the pretty, young journalist”. I also know, though, that I give off an air of someone kind of nerdy and unhip…. so who knows.

So maybe all of you just happen to be part of that small percentage of people who find me cute?

I never think I’m pretty either. Maybe once in a blue moon, or sometimes I’ll think I’m pretty for an ugly person… I don’t know… I don’t think anyone always likes their own looks.

cute? More like gaga gorgeous! Tsk, tsk, poor little beautiful girl :-))) :-p

Well, on this photo you certainly don’t look nerdy or unhip. I think you look calm and friendly and attractive and interesting and make a very good impression.

You know, being in contact with you for years, I have constructed some fictional image of you in my mind. I have noticed that I am so used to it, that I keep seeing you as before in my imagination, even though I have seen your real picture. I hope you don’t mind. At any rate, in my imagination you are also very beautiful.

Trust me on this one. You’re amazingly attractive. I honestly don’t think I am in the minority here, either. Anyone who would be lucky enough to see that smile every day would no doubt live a very blessed life.
