Hi there ~ I found your site through Brandon.

And, WOW. What a well-composed deconstruction. Very good points, all of them, and I must say that I have been thinking of this topic and your ideas since I read this a few days ago.

Great photo as well. He’s my kind of man, I can tell…

BF – ah, the ’40s. Did I miss my era, or what?

Neil – we are all eager to please; some of us just hide it better. Also, if you are going to plug your stuff, add a linky!

annie – call me. I need to have you call me “genius” in person.

vanesica – my pleasure. sometimes I think the whole reason I did the acting thing was to enrich my blogging experience.

Maral – why do I get the idea *you* are hot? maybe a communicatrix pinup calendar is in order

brandon – I love it when you are falsely modest. that shit is HOT!!!

thank god i went first. you actually answered the question. and i think in my first draft i actually wrote, ‘the most important thing, however, is to make others love you, so as to cover up the fact that you hate yourself. that’s some good looking shit, right there.’

oh, and ps, smart, good-looking people intimidate me, so whenever i finally get the chance to meet you in real life, please try to dumb it down a little. LOVE ME DAMMIT

Thanks so much for this, Communicatrix. I agree completely. While ‘good-looking’ is – subjective – at least, ‘attractive’ is ATTRACTING. Draws one to it. Real is HOT. Knowing who you are is HOT. Being fully alive is H-O-T. Even people who don’t ‘know’ this react to it. I feel like a litmus test in this way – because I’m one, um, moody girl. And I think too much. I swear my phisical being must go through a Molecular Shift when I get the hell out of my head and feel alive again. Sometimes it’s the changed reaction around me that alerts me that I’ve been asleep! Again! Aaaaargh!

And – I must be horridly out of (every) loop – but WHO is that ‘Mr. Cameron’ photo you chose? Known? For what?

S-W-O-O-N.
I could barely read the post.

thank you. The part on your acting advice was particularly interesting. It was suggested to you to pay attention to those your eyes were drawn to. Could that understanding be applied to your hearing, sense of touch or smell? I might apply this to my hearing. Pay attention to what soothes or perhaps what stimulates my hearing. The only thing of difficulty though is not being able to distinguish levels of noise. Unlike the eyes, ears cannot open or close naturally providing a barrier against stimuli. Earplugs shut out everything while hearing aids increase ones hearing.

I wonder if a hearing aid exists, to decrease noise or to make sounds separate from eachother.

Communicatrix thank you for sharing your insight. Your posts have a way of making me think.

I just spent last night mulling over why I was so eager to please (plug for my recent post). And here you are — answering the question like an Oracle. I’m not sure what to do with the information right now. Maybe if I watch “Where the Sidewalk Ends” I’ll get some inspiration about my next step –
