#21-25
I'm so brain dead, I can offer only five pieces of fluff today. This'll make 25 out of 100.
21. I can't stand it when guys wear cologne or an overabundance of other scented products. Not only do they give off an eye-watering chemical reek, it just ain't manly to be overly concerned about your looks, in my opinion. I prefer a guy's natural smell -- as long as it's a good one. "Smell compatibility" is vital.
22. As a kid, I always identified with the wicked witch rather than the princess in fairy tales, and cheered on the predator (especially the big cats) rather than the prey in nature shows.
23. Until well into adulthood, I thought our second cat, that we left behind when going overseas when my dad got transferred, had been given to a neighbor. Turns out everyone lied to me (I'm the youngest); the cat was taken to a shelter. This *still* bums me out. ;_;
24. I eat bean and cheese tacos with pico when stressed out. With extra cilantro and chopped onions, and maybe a drizzling of salsa for some moisture.
25. Obligatory Binaries: cats over dogs, cold weather over hot, lip action over tongue action when kissing, natural tits over silicone tits, pubic hair (trimmed) over shaved, oceans over lakes, snow over beaches, sparkling over still, change over stability, ambiguity over certainty, smart over popular, older guys over younger guys. The last one is for now; when I get my financial shit together, I wouldn't mind being a sugar momma. ;p

on 21... MORE than vital. I've given up dates with really nice guys because of their natural smell. Not that it was BAD, but... um, no. You know?
And 22 is full agreement as well. Picture me nodding my head. I also cheer for the bad guy in horror flicks.

Ditto on the funky perfumes. I ditched the colognes when I had a manager complain to me about the aroma. The other employees begged him to do it. In retrospect I am thankful. That crap is expensive. Why annoy people?
Have you ever read the European versions of fairy tales. The one where the Big Bad Wolf eats Little Red Riding Hood.

you are spot on regarding the faerie tales. the female antagonist was always smart and gorgeous. and she had balls.

oh, and ditto on the trimming. it's a personal choice. i really don't care much for looking like a prepubescent girl in my nether regions.

I like the binaries series. Snow over beaches would be a really tough call.
Off topic but it reminds me of a show where they were asking people in supermarket checkout lines if they preferred paper or plastic and then asking why. Most folks answered plastic, because of the handles, or paper because they stand up by themselves or some variation. On woman answered plastic, because it is smoother, and it became apparent that she was not thinking of shopping bags.....

Personally, I wear Hugo Boss when going out for a party night. Just seems appropriate. Rarely wear cologne other than that. But, on the older over younger. I'm 26, so I guess I'm still young. But older. ^_^ Mid 20's is such a weird stage of life. I'm an adult....but....still young. Do I go to a club or invest my money wisely. So confusing. :-)

Re: Sympathy for wicked witch -- have you read "Wicked"? It's great.

cats over dogs -- right now apartment life has made me tired of animals in general.
cold weather over hot -- yes
lip action over tongue action when kissing -- YES
natural tits over silicone tits -- FUCK yes
pubic hair (trimmed) over shaved -- marry me
oceans over lakes -- indeed
snow over beaches -- uh...how about beaches where it snows? Cape Cod is nice.
sparkling over still -- depends
change over stability -- yes
ambiguity over certainty -- depends, but it seems like my life is ambiguity anyway so I might as well get used to it
smart over popular -- I mean, obviously
older guys over younger guys -- Now we're getting somewhere. Younger guys are idiots. Older guys know shit.

DN, I had to stop dating a guy because his smell was... strange. I just couldn't imagine sleeping with him.
SA, I remember reading something about the "original" tales, that the ones we Americans read as kids were watered down versions (like the Greek myths we read), but I don't remember particulars.
Transcience, even as a kid, when I read that all the heroines were young and beautiful and "good," I sensed a conspiracy. ;)
CS, I don't get it. What was she talking about?
JeN,, cats are *squishier*. It's hard to describe. They're more squeezable. They're softer and more cuddly.
Gemini, I like my older mind over my younger mind, that's fer shurr. Despite the depression and shit.
Rhubarb, it's sitting on my shelf.

Huh. Simulpost.
Ray, re: silicone -- who knows? I mean, not for size increase, but sag-prevention. Is this TMI?
When I was a lot younger, I said I'd never dye my hair or get a facelift. Well, now that I'm seeing the beginning of wrinkles, I dunno. Only a couple of grays, though, but I'm definitely going to dye when they multiply.
But the older guys can't be all square and shit. More importantly, they can't be *trying*, either. Actually, I'd rather not be around square or trying-too-hard people of any age/gender. I guess I want an older male version of me.

Oh, funness!
21. "Smell compatibility" - Oh yes. I note that as my relationship with someone changes, my tolerance of their scent changes. Getting to know someone, I usually notice it. Once I'm involved with them, I don't notice their natural smell at all. If things start going bad, I start noticing it again.
22. Have you ever read 'Wicked'? The Broadway play is good, but you have to have read the book to make it make sense. I think there's a sequal to the book now, but I've not read it.
cats over dogs: No, I'm a dog person. Although I'm more fond of exotics - I had ferrets for years, and my SO had a snake, and I'm thinking of an iguana as my next pet.
cold weather over hot: yes.
lip action over tongue action when kissing: It's gotta be the right proportion. I can live with bad sex, but I can't tolerate bad kissing.
natural tits over silicone tits: yes. If I wanted to squeeze plastic, I'd buy a blowup doll.
pubic hair (trimmed) over shaved: Either is better then the huge untrimmed masses of hair you see in old 70's porn, but I don't prefer one over the other in a partner. Personally, I like the way shaved feels, but I hate the hassle of maintaining it.
oceans over lakes: yes.
snow over beaches: No.
sparkling over still: Hm. They both have their place.
change over stability: Never.
ambiguity over certainty: Never.
smart over popular: Always.
older guys over younger guys: Yes. Although I love corrupting younger guys, I don't really want to sleep with them afterwards.

You can be my Sugah Momma... although I expect there'll be a long queue to your door. You're going to have to buy some pimp clothes of some sort in preparation.
