Negative criticism? “I don’t care and you don’t matter. I am better than you because...”
Positive criticism? Smile and graciously say Thank-you. Make it a mental point to remember the good things said and who said them so you can remember a few weeks later when you’re not feeling up to par in a situation.

I posted up some photo shoot pictures I took with my car on a car enthusiast site. 19 guys said “Woo hoo!” and 1 said “I didn’t see any women there, all I saw was a Linebacker”. I just laugh at the one guy who said I was a line-backer, it’s now a running joke with my friends. But I will never forget the two guys who said “I dropped my gum” and the next guy said “Hell, I dropped my teeth”.

Thanks that makes me feel much better.

I did an amateur night at a local strip club. Nothing like 100 random men who you will never see again clapping and cheering for you. :)

okay, we’re going to have to hear more about this one!  i bet you could ask 1000 people what engineers do in their spare time and you wouldn’t get a single “strip!” answer.  seriously, what’s it like?  have you done it more than once?

I was an exotic dancer for three years while back and forth with school. I’d work a semester, go to school for a semester. Finally I saved up some cash and went 3 semesters straight through, one calendar year, to finish my last semester with 19 credit hours and senior design. (I almost died I swear! LOL)

Performing a set is like singing in the shower with the radio on loud when nobody else is home. You can be whoever you want to be. It’s part real, part acting, part partying, part princess, part athletic. You’re basically working-out for 8-10 hours every day. If you weren’t in shape when you started, you’re gonna be in shape in 2 weeks. It’s the most addicting job I have ever had. Where else can you make $300-$500 a night and get paid to drink, smoke, and party? They’re just boobs.

Disclaimer: I do not encourage young ladies to do this because of the social and political reprucussions. It is a matter of personal choice and I have no regrets.

That sounds like so much fun. It really does. Too bad i’m a bit shy.
