That sounds like what I wear all the time. We probably shop at the same places!

personally, my favorite thing to wear is a pair of worn-in low rider jeans paired with a cute tank top and sandals. i like to wear my hair down when it's manageable, or i just throw it up in a high messy ponytail. simple and cute.

MLK,

I don't know if a person can become economically full. I have yet reach my limits. But I am aware of my drive to make more.

It's a family thing to get an MD. There been MD in the family for the xth generation. So it is almost an unquestioned tradtion in the family. Which is why I was dealt with pretty harshly when I first decided to pursue another career other than medicine. But everybody has calmed down since my financial outlook stabilized.

Hapa Gerl:

Yeah for real. Agreed...
Speaking of Gap...I got some tank tops from there that were on sale for only $2.
Also...Old Navy is another good place to go without spending a lot of money.
They have some really outrageous sales sometime...

Cool...

P.S-I like their flipflops...

AnGeLiQue-
Great fashion tips! You're absolutely right; you don't have to spend a bunch of money to look good. I learned the hard way that expensive designer clothes are generally a bad idea. Not only are they way overpriced, but too often the cut and fabric are poor. My aunt is a seamstress and she was always disappointed in the expensive clothing I bought. For fashion and fun, the best buys are at Target, Gap, Payless and, yes, even Wal-Mart.

Being a Barbie doll does have its advantages then! Cool, just the plastic thing I'm aspiring to be! j/k.

Going to med school just to humor the folks at home? Are you nuts! It's a horrible experience that drives some people to suicide! When you're economically full, go to the Alps and take up cross-country skiing or...what I would do if I had the time and all the money in the world...vegetate in front of a window somewhere on a space station, gazing out at a galaxy full of stars.

Cute Chinese Girl,

There are many people in the world like me, I'm sure.

Guys know what the areola is. They just might not have the vocabulary to express it properly. Over education is generally a stigma in our society.

Like that famous line in the movie Dangerous Liason. "...how do you expect men and women to give and recieve pleasure without the proper vocabulary?"

MLK,

Unless you're a barbie doll. Lost nipples would be noticeable.

Was accepted to a medical school. But didn't attend, against my parent's wishes, for the very reason you mentioned.

I know that sounds arrogant to reject med school. But after thinking about throughout my undergraduate career, I realised I would never be professionally satisfied in either a clinical or research career for obvious monetary reasons.

Perhaps when I'm older and satisfied either economically or realised I can no longer grow in the field I'm in. I might humor the possibility of getting an MD to satisfy the family. Only time will tell.

be,

Human encyclopedia?...Cliff Clavin...that's funny.

It was the academic enviroment I was exposed to that molded this behavior. Useless extra-curricular knowledge was common among my highschool classmate.

Size 0 is not a human size. Most normal people that eat food can not fit into a size 0.
