		<description>&lt;p&gt;THANK YOU!!! Glad you like the posts! :) Interesting thoughts about your outside persona vs. the you that people really know. There&#039;s probably a little bit on both sides, no?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi Twanna... 3 words to describe you.. I&#039;d say bold, sexy, funny.  I&#039;ve never met you in real life so I&#039;m taking my impression from your blogs/tweets/fb posts...
I think people miss the mark on me all the time. Maybe it&#039;s because I have an outside persona that most people only know about. I&#039;ll bet anyone from my hometown would tell you I&#039;m outgoing, funny, and smart. They&#039;d say that because I was always the girl in the dance classes, cheerleader squad, doing all the extracurricular activities. Weird thing was I liked the attention, but didn&#039;t. If I were to answer (and be totally honest), I&#039;d say I&#039;m shy, neurotic, and funny (I don&#039;t deny that I like to make people laugh).
Love the posts!

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Everyone:&lt;/b&gt; I&#039;m not lying when I say that I was / am honestly surprised by the number of you who left comments to let me know the three words that come to mind when you think of me. I&#039;m surprised that so many of you did it, and even more surprised how incredibly accurate many of you were. I&#039;ve said it before and I&#039;ll say it again: FBC readers are the best readers on the internet!!! I feel very lucky to have you.

&lt;b&gt;Howard&lt;/b&gt;: I am, indeed, funky. I can be described as &quot;brown&quot;. And, I&#039;m certainly a chick!!! :) You nailed it, Howard! And, by the way ... no need to leave Cameron out of the fun; he should join us. ;-)

&lt;b&gt;Darwin&lt;/b&gt;: You *should* visit New York!!! Yeah, at first I was completely freaked out by the idea of in-person &quot;blogger / reader meetings&quot;. I used to be 100% against them. However, over the past two years, I&#039;ve done quite a few of them and it&#039;s been great. Lemme see ... So far, I&#039;ve met 12 - 15 folks in person. And, I&#039;ve liked them all. Interestingly enough ... they&#039;ve all been fellow bloggers. (I&#039;ve never agreed to meet anyone who was a reader who didn&#039;t blog.)

&lt;b&gt;Andy&lt;/b&gt;: (Over)intellectual? I&#039;d expect nothing less from a man who majored in philosophy in college. :-)

&lt;b&gt;Papigiulio&lt;/b&gt;: You know what, I *should* bring back the underwear posts or something else for the fellas. I used to keep it fairly even (i.e. mention a guy for the ladies, post sexy underwear for the fellas), but I&#039;ve been slacking. Hmmm ... I have to think of a &quot;womanly&quot; idea for the blog.

&lt;b&gt;Lala&lt;/b&gt;: I think Andy got me right, too. I don&#039;t think I&#039;m a dumbass and I do tend to stick up for myself. Now, this self-assured stuff? I don&#039;t know. I certainly have moments where I feel completely and hopelessly insecure. The more I want somethung, the more insecure I am about it.

&lt;b&gt;distar&lt;/b&gt;: There&#039;s nothing wrong with being a *little bit* snobby. As long as it doesn&#039;t go too far.

&lt;b&gt;Mitch&lt;/b&gt;: I missed you!!! We sooo need to get you hooked up with someone. Wait a minute. What am I talking about?!?! Why do I care about your situation? *I&#039;m* single too. Hell, I need to save my pity / frustration for my&lt;i&gt;damn&lt;/i&gt;self. You&#039;re on your own, kid!!! ;)

&lt;b&gt;HippieChyck&lt;/b&gt;: That&#039;s a *GREAT* photo of him, isn&#039;t it?!?!

&lt;b&gt;Felicia &amp; Nat&lt;/b&gt;: Awwww, THANK YOU both for your kind words! :)</description>
