She didn't need a mirror to tell her she was ugly. All she had to do was look in somebody's eyes. Anybody's. [One Chance from Strays and Waifs by Charles DeLint]
That is perhaps the saddest thing I've ever read that also hit a little too close to home. It basically sums up how I felt for ten or so years, and still feel 85% of the time. Read that the other night and have been meaning to put it in here so I could use it later.

Snifflie.

Now, I'm going back to reading the wonder that is Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. You'll go read now, if you're smart.
