I think she is female. Let me get this straight, the girls are:
-Vector
-MoM (Is an Oedipus complex going to show up here due to the acronym)
-Iceball3
-Janet

This thread is so screwed.

And what do I look like?

Why do you need to "get this straight?"  They aren't aliens, they're just like you and me.

No. Iceball's a guy.
And considering that I hate my biological mother with all of my heart and haven't seen her for four years, an Oedipus complex is unlikely to occur XD

No, the Electra complex is when a girl is attracted to her father.

What would it be if a girl was attracted to her mother?

No, I meant more in terms of "face paint to make you look like a bird, maybe once a year."

Or once a show, but then Jonsi is pretty exceptional.

Wikipedia to the rescue!
Oedipal complex? you mean Electra?
The Oedipus complex, in psychoanalytic theory, is a group of largely unconscious (dynamically repressed) ideas and feelings which centre around the desire to possess the parent of the opposite sex and eliminate the parent of the same sex.

Well, I'm a bumbling fool with no tact or social talent in general. Just ignore any offensive content that does not appear obviously intended. Unless it is sarcasm, that could be on purpose.

ANd I apologize for my misconceptionsw.

ANd that is the polite way to describe an Oedipus complex

I'm pretty sure it was a male only thing as far as Freud was concerned...

Beauty is beauty. Artificial and natural can both look swell - but artificial that tries to mimic some natural look while failing miserably (blush, you foul demon, I'm looking at you!) has a tendency to look pretty horrible imo. "Artificial" generally looks a lot better when it plays to its strengths - clothes, tattoos, hair colours, hair extensions, etc. When it tries to "improve upon" an element of natural beauty, though, it usually falls flat for me.

... No, Iceball3 is a dude who has tits in my imagination, because in my imagination he's a woman wearing a pretty Victorian dress.  Also, there's a lot more than four girls on here.  By the way.

Also, "this thread is so screwed?"  Why?


You're short with curly hair and wiry.  You try to get into the center of a group and take control, but you always wind up so nervous that you go back to the side--even if it's only in your own mind.  You want to learn how to fit in but somehow it never quite worked, and so you became somewhat abrasive.  When you feel welcomed, however, you calm down and your nervousness begins to show.

Yup.
