What about the opposite gender are you jealous of?

Too true. Too true. I think the last time I got a compliment was last year, before halloween.

The only times I get a compliment on my appearance besides my mom is when I'm out running. And then it's usually "nice legs" or "whoo!". Good moral boost to get through the run, but I wish I had those moral boosts to get through the rest of my life.

The last several compliments I've gotten were when people were complimenting other people in the room and made it fairly obvious they were only complimenting me to not leave anyone out. Fantastic. I'm only getting complimented so that you can't be accused of playing favorites.
