One of my personal soapboxes (of which there are many!) is how ridiculously nonsensical I think it is to have men’s and women’s athletic teams, we should just have teams- period. This is especially obvious to me in basketball (my personal fave sport) since there are sooo many unbelievably talented female players who never get the recognition, fame, money, etc. they deserve (and yes it is deserved, if the male players deserve it, damn right the women do to!) because they have a fucking uterus, excuse me, wtf??? Cheryl Miller is a million times the player that her brother ever was, and he was great, and yes she has a job as an announcer and she’s pretty famous, even in non-sporting circles (I think), but she should have played in the NBA and had the chance to get into the Hall of Fame as an NBA player, no questions, no hesitations. An athlete is a fucking athlete!

Okay, getting down off my soapbox now and putting it away.

They were pretty cool. My boyfriend is a tidge taller than Courtney, and they shared a moment of Tall People Bonding. Mostly because, as a tall guy, he wasn’t intimidated by a woman who could look him in the eye. (My boyfriend is awesome in many, many ways.) She seemed pretty cool, but I only got to talk to her for about a minute or two.

I think Courtney Paris is a beautiful woman. You go Courtney! They need more of you in this world!

Count your blessings; I don’t intimidate anybody. ;)

I intimidate people with my height, my brains, my position at work, my outspoken-ness, and maybe my being pretty too, I dont know.

Finding clothes is a pain in the ass, too :)

If it’s any consolation, at least you haven’t had to spend your adult life with your face at most men’s armpit level.

And you should admit you’re pretty more often.
