Thank you! I usually stay away from red lipsticks, but I think you have a very good point.

When I´m not wearing makeup (all the time) acquaintances and friends alike tease me for being too pale. When I wear makeup, on the rare occasions I do,people say that I look pale, because it´s not like I´m going to apply self tanning when it has nothing to do with me and the rest of my body would look weird.
I only see…

I only wear make-up for important occasions, such weddings, anniversaries and...well I think that´s it.
I´ve been critized a lot for not wearing something to make my eyes more attractive, people telling it to me to the point of being very rude. I got tired once and said "they are healthy and beautiful what more do I…

Excuse me, but based on your username and your comment, I think you must be pretty awesome, just that, sorry to bother, keep on.

This is pretty much what I do with my boyfriend.When I take him out, I pay and viceversa. But we have pick up a certain habit, the one that´s not paying gives the tip. Some people think it´s strange and other really like the idea, but honestly it works great for us and we like this system, it seems fair for both of…

Thanks!

Well, in my case the guys I used to play RPG´s joked about it in certain circunstances.
Player 1: The zombi over there. How does he look like?
DM: Well, *points to me* a little bit paler than her.
Me: At least I´m not rotten.

Well, I also suffer from anemia because of the dysmenorrhea. One time I scared the living shit (pardon my language) out of my gynecologist (I´m very pale, but that was even to my standards one of my worst days). She looked very worried that day. I went because the pains were harder than usual, so hard I asked my…

Yeah, I have it. And through the years I got the "It can´t be so bad, all women have periods" and "Well, your mother have no problems".

I´m almost my mother spitting image, and I share in a lot of things in common with women all over the world and ages in history. But guess what?
WE DO NOT SHARE A SINGLE AND GIANT…

I saw this and went downstairs to see my pet. My father and I rescued her from the streets, she had been bitten, was very afraid and hungry. The last week my father was alive he told me "If anything happens to me, take care of Racky".
Weeks after his death I had a terrible nightmare and I realized she had climbed up…

I don´t get the the religious thing either.
And like you I have an Italian lastname, but I was asked a couple of time if I was Ashkenazi by Ashkenazis, but I´m not very sure why. I always say "I´m not, but maybe my great-grandfather was". He came to America in a boat being a very young boy, scaping of we don´t know…

There is a thing I don´t get, I´ve seen and heard many rude atheist trying to approach people in order to "free them from ignorance" and the "more rational than thou" attitude it´s so scary similar to the "holier than thou" that I don´t see how they don´t get that their condescension it´s hurting their argument.
My…

My godmother never fails to tell people that she thinks all babies are ugly, especially newborns. She once told me I was the only cute baby she had ever seen and inmediately told her own daugther "unlike you, you looked like a monkey covered in snout".

Actually this story reminds me a lot of the tale of Rustico's devil and Alibec's hell, but probably Mrs. Flanders wouldn´t condone my association because the characters in the story weren´t married and maybe even would say that Rustico´s devil grew tired of Alibec´s hell because their lack of sacred vows. And no,…

Once I told a friend of mine that I wanted to make a list of future reading to help me organize all the books that I wanted to read. She told me that she didn´t think it was a good idea and that told me that she had enough reading lists at the university.
But since I was talking about somenthing I wanted to do, FOR…

I was ten years old and I got my first period, my mother had died only months ago and not even one from my female relatives wanted to explain that to me. Not my aunts, not my grandmother and not my very liberal cousins. So my dad did it, he sweated, got awfully nervous and looked as frightned as hell but I only…

I wasn´t sure about posting this story, it´s not mine and it´s not even very scary, but I feel like sharing it.

I´m glad I could be useful. :)

Just one tiny little thing: http://www.themarysue.com/tolkien-fights-nazis/

I thought this was going to make me go and cuddle with my own dog (and it did it) but then I found out that the people that work at the cemetery discovered one day that Capitán (the accent it´s on the "a") had a broken leg and they were very worried and called a vet to help him, and they´re still taking good care of…
