Meh, your tastes adapt, as everything else does, when you get older. Someone that I thought of as sexy when I was fourteen is now "cute". I see no issue with someone my age (30ish) seeing that a 15 year old is cute and seeing also that they may be attractive to someone of their appropriate age range (My gals and I jokingly have a range equation of the eldest of "Half your age plus eight" or 21 being the youngest you should date.)

It is the recognition that "hey, they're hot" can be stopped with the fact of "Hey, they're fourteen".

I appear to have become entangled in purple and black ribbons. How odd. I think I may have too many ribbons. But I love them so............

Velvet. I have a lot of that too. It's relativley flattering to a woman of my immense size.....I love my velvet......

And it looks much better on more voluptuous figures. I have no idea why, but a mure succulently proportioned in velvet looks scrumptious where a more slimly proportioned one in velvet looks tacky to me. I have no explanation for this. We all have our little aesthetic quirks.

You look like a Waterhouse fan. If you are in the Midwest, teh St. Louis Art Museum is having an exhibition of the Pre-Raphaelites.

Nothing wrong with being a twig, either, m'dear. Personally, size never mattered as much as health and the all over "effect" of a person. Look on the bright side, you get away with wearing a lot more silk than the bigger gals do (my little opinion only).

There are aesthetic perks to almost everything.

I have heard of half one's age plus seven, but eight is good, too

As for my randomness for this post:
Tonight a girl I knew, who happened to had been my marching drum major for two consecutive years, died tonight after being in critical condition in the hospital for a month or longer.

Also, yesterday I learned that asparagus can make one's urine have a very strong odour. I felt as if I were in an auto repair shop every time I went to pee. It worried me at first, as I could not figure out why the bathroom suddenly smelled of car tire rubber as I began "to go."

I figured that the equation would vary depending on one's current state and the variable's relative attractiveness. Daniel Radcliffe is a fine example. He's too young for me (and not of legal age for many in the US), but after seeing those photos he had taken for Equus... bloody hell, I started to get all Einstein-y on the math to find a way for the numbers to work.

Damn skippy. Hell, even as a straight female, I prefer to see a healthy range of figures in women. Not for comparison, but just for the sheer variety aspect of it all.

I want to stay of this age forever. Maybe of my age in a couple of months so I am legal for anything in Mexico.
Girls are just cuter and more innocent at this age (15-18), plus it's the time where emotions have to coexist with maturity, making it the perfect age for romance.
Think of it, Romeo and Juliet were teenagers.

In other news www means Who What Where and you know it.

ooooooh stay away from the alcohol friend. It will bring you only misery and regrets, speed up the aging process and separate you from your money.

The innocence is why they appear "daughter-like" to me as an older man, and why older women come across as very sexy.

When a young girl smiles, it radiates innocence, which in another way of looking at it, says "inexperience". (I do not mean that in a bad way, innocence is very, very beautiful and precious, containing all the optimism needed for the human race to endure an unknown future.)

But when an older woman smiles, with half closed eyes, and maybe a wink, it says "I know, and you know, and I know that you know, and you know that *I* know, and I am still here winking at you big boy", which raises my blood pressure dangerously! No young girl can have that effect on me. The only one who has come closest has been Miss Hazie, and she still strikes me as daughter-like.

What I am trying to say is that yes, the young age you described is full of romance, but romance is not just for the young either.
It continues throughout life, as far as I can see, to the very end.

I was a lot more cynical when I was 15-18 than I am now. I was so cynical you wouldn't believe. It's a MASSIVE generalisation to say that "Girls are just cuter and more innocent at this age (15-18)". In fact, I'd say most of the girls I grew up with believed they were fairly wise to the game at this stage, which made them act like weathered cynics on the outside. They all wanted to dress up and wear make-up to make themselves appear older. But inside they were scared as fuck about being found out that they were still virgins or whatever.

I reckon the kids I grew up with are more wide-eyed and aware that they really know nothing about anything now. This leaves a vacuum that can be filled with romance (Although, I'm not sure Godslayer Jillian's definition of romance matches my definition).

I swear, though, innocence is not a word I would tack on to any 15-18 year old girl I have ever known. And any "cuteness" was at best faux-naïf and at worst disingenuous.

Hmmm, well I must agree that when I was in high school, yes, there were a few players who were manipulative and took advantage of guys, even into college, where there were even more than in high school, as I recall, but they were not in the majority.

I wear makeup to make myself seem prettier, not older. On top of that, I am a virgin and darn proud. Who cares that I am almost 19? I haven't found a love yet I can share my body that fully with, and I have the rest of my life to do so. Heck, women don't hit their prime until their 20s, so I am still good for now.

Hello. I have umbrellas on my shirt. Thought I'd share.

And by the way, Shyantra's brains taste like marshmellows.

My insides feel as if they're contorting. I want to vomit so badly, just to rid my body of this feeling. But, I didn't gag enough, so whatever is unsettling my stomach is still there. God, I feel as if I am dying. . . the pain is almost unbearable.

The end is really the beginning.

Unless you’re dead. In which case reincarnation is your friend. In which case the end really is the beginning.

But if you don't believe in that sort of thing, it seems you're out of luck.

Richard Dawkins for the win!

2. What were you doing at 8:00 this morning?
I can't remember if I was thinking of a discussion or dreaming about thinking of the discussion.

Pasting some band pictures on a book.

4. What is something that happened to you in 1994?
Probably being a smart-ass.

"Do you have a metric tape? I uhh... want to measure my... hair" (in Spanish)

4?

Black comb and my white hands to unstuck the comb from my hair

8. What was the last thing you bought?
Candy

Still waiting for that pedo fat man with the red velvet fetish to come to my house.

10. What color is your front door?
Dark brown (the color of the Invisible Pink Unicorn)

11. Where do you keep your change?
Mah desk. And then it runs off to a magical prairie where they marry, have a massive orgy, and raise a family of tiny little pennies.

I haven't been out the whole day, and now it's too nighty to see the night.

13. What is the best ice cream flavor?
Right now I have a craving for strawberry ice cream. I want a strawberry ice-creamy girlfriend!

14. What are you excited about?
I'm a teenager. Everything 'excites' me. Nah, not really. Not even Playboy with those girls and the posing and the peaches.

15. When was the last rainbow you saw?
