Now I'm racking my brain trying to remember the Brow's real name. I wanna say Raji something?

Hmm, I dated a guy with a uni brow once... he had really beautiful green eyes but most people would only see the brow. So sad.

When I was in middle school, I used to love this book called "The Wish," which was by the author of "Ella Enchanted." One of the main characters was called "Unibrow Jared," and the main character at first looked at him with total disdain, but by the end of the book, they were an incredibly cute couple. I like it when books have a romantic lead who's not typical 'gorgeous hero' material-- reason nine million why Twilight gets on my nerves.

I didn't mind the unibrow... my friend thought it was weird though.

I was forced to read Twilight by my best friend and I did enjoy it... but now I find it kinda stupid. Edward is way too perfect (I'd take Jacob over him anyday!). Oh, and I hate the character (or lack there of) of Bella.

Not to thread jack, but does anyone else think these books are setting a really bad example for teenage girls? Like, the way Edward treats Bella is pretty awful and controlling (and creepy at times).

I have always thought that. Even moreso than the flat characters and the terrible writing, I felt like the way the male characters treated Bella was horrible. And I also feel like Jacob's a more intriguing character than Edward, but I can't stand him, either-- because he's so forceful and just, "NO! YOU WILL LOVE ME, BECAUSE I SAY SO!"

For me, the breaking point was when Charlie congratulated Jacob for kissing Bella against her will and causing her to break her hand. And then he was like, "Next time he kisses you, go for his gut." I mean, sure, I'd congratulate anyone who injured Bella Swan as well, but this is her DAD we're talking about.

I enjoy being a girl because I get to have an excuse for being just plain b*tchy and eating an unholy amount of chocolate on certain days :)

I also looooove me some shoes and "flowy" dresses.

"Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent"

Whee. Being a girl is awesome. I mean, have you seen boys?

Masie you are too cute.

And yes Elphabelle, we do have the choco bitchy excuse!

The best part is that they don't really know if it's a legit excuse...so you can use it even if it is unnecessary! Muahaha!

YES! I got so angry at that part! I think Stephanie Meyer has some serious issues. I just hate that some girls , because of this book, think that kind of behavior is okay!


Oh and I totally love being a girl! I have so many dresses, shoes, jewelry, and bags! Girls are just awesome.

Also, ever since I found this one kooky website that breaks down all of the 'Mormon symbolism' in the Twilight books, I can't help but think of that every time I read them...

I enjoy being a girl because I can be dubbed "queen of cartwheels"

Which I was today after doing 23 cartweels in a row. I had to stop because I ran out of grass :/
YESSS! I LOVE doing cartwheels. When I was little, I always used to wear pants under my dresses so I do cartwheels in public.

What I enjoy about being a girl is, when I'm sick, my family hovers sympathetically around me asking me if I need anything. When my brother is sick (which is EXTREMELY often-- I'm almost never sick), everyone's just like, "Oh, suck it up, be a man." I stayed home from church today because I had a fever, sounded like an old man, and woke up with a horrible nosebleed (scary--Attilla the Hun died of having a nosebleed in his sleep), but my brother never misses church. Also, my dad bought me fruit loops and beef bologna at the store, because I like them and we never have them. ^_^

Schmerg, when you become a mom it becomes the opposite. I could be sicker than a dog, and I still have to get up, get Henry ready for school, make his lunch, get him on the bus, clean the house, make dinner.

When my husband is sick, he lays in his recliner with a blanket moaning and groaning about it.

Awww, you are such a devoted mom! My mom is lucky, because now that all of her kids are teenagers, when she feels sick, she can just sleep for hours and we can take care of ourselves. (She has to work with fifth- and sixth-graders all day-- she definitely deserves rest.)

But yeah, I'm definitely not eager to have kids, but I'm guessing that'll change when I get older. For now, though, I'm just too selfish.

You should be as selfish as you can be while you can!

When I was pregnant, everyone said to be as selfish as you can be because once the baby is born, it's all over. HAHA!

LOL Stockard! I've been told that too..I'm so excited to be a mom one day.

God the Twilight books are so horrible..I can't even begin to list all of the dreadful qualities that they possess.

Also, I've been reading the pages in this thread that I missed and I'm sad I missed the Target discussion! Haha I could've given you guys the inside scoop about my job. Updated On: 2/1/09 at 12:26 PM

Yeah, being a mom is pretty awesome - most of the time. HAHA!

Lol I'm sure it's going to be insanely scary and hard, but I can't wait. =]

A past subject you guys were talking about: a call a vagina "bajingo" haha. I think it's the funniest word in the world and it's fun to say. I stole it from Scrubs teehee.

bajingo? HAHAHA! I like that one!

I enjoy noting women who are strong successful and independent as good role models.

I also enjoy the thought that when I'm older I might be like them

It really is easy to forget that women have so much more influence now than they did not too long ago. It's weird to think that there are people alive today whose mothers weren't even allowed to vote.

I like playing with my hair!Yesterday I was admiring my big,brown,and beautiful locks then I turned my brother and was like "I feel bad for you,your hair is so short you can't play with it or anything."
