It is right there between the m and the n where it belongs.

Ugh I was so nervous.
ETA: Thanks Vosur.
I love it, Losty!! You sound like such a sweetheart! I loved all the little nervous laughs, it made me want to hug and squeeze you!!

At least you get compliments at all?
The physical traits compliments I tend to get are "you have pretty hair" and "you have long legs," not general appearance compliments. Getting selective compliments on body parts like this, along with the barrage of criticism I would get from my sister (who loved to point out all my faults) and the "you're very smart!" stuff led me to not have a very high opinion of what I looked like.
My college boyfriend made me cry a couple times because he kept insisting that I was pretty and, not ever having gotten that kind of feedback ever, I didn't know how to handle it and, in my insecurity, thought he was trying to overcompensate for me not being that attractive.
But, anyway, this isn't really the best place to talk about how participation (or lack thereof) in a visually-obsessed culture can wreak havoc on peoples' self-esteem so let's move on.

There's my vimeo account (not sure how much "r" is lost. I have also lived down south, in the mid-atlantic, and my native CA). I seem to have lost my latest video, but I'll do one tomorrow.
You keep peanut butter in the refrigerator?
