- When you dislike someone you've never even met, that is usually a
- sign that you probably don't like aspects of yourself that this
- person makes you feel insecure about. This is called PROJECTION.
-
- It's also known as assigning blame. (where none is deserved) A
- lot of people are very good at this, and they are just miserable.
-
- Besides, who do you think skims Cosmo, Elle, Vogue, and Bazaar?
- Apart from us drooling supermodel groupies? (big silly grin here)

- Nicely put, old chap. I couldn't have said it better myself! Just
- remember, though, that some people are hell-bent on being utterly
- miserable, no matter how hard you may try to cheer them up, and I
- think at some point we just have to let them be that way....

- who gets high on life, just because -- oh, did I mention that I
- get to go photograph at a lingerie fashion show tomorrow night?
- And that a cute friend of mine finally has some respite from her
- work and has agreed to pose in the nude? And that the mom of the
- 16-year old aspiring stage actress I photographed just saw her
- daughter's pictures and is raving about how fabulous they are?
-
- Life is good.
