My roommate and I wrote a script for a film which he's directing. We both have roles, as do a number of our friends. The other night, we taped scenes which revolved around poker, and after watching the finished product, I noticed something that I had never realized before.

I have a big goddamn nose. I mean, I knew it had a bump on it, Italian-style, but it's a little bigger than I had imagined.

You may wonder why this isn't in Reinvent Yourself; the main reason is that I don't have any desire for reinvention. I became curious about what it would be like to have a straight nose, but it doesn't haunt my waking hours or some shit. Maybe I'll find out someday if it gets mangled in a fight and I need reconstructive surgery, but other than that, whatever.

So why not Spurious?

It occured to me that noses are rarely, if ever, mentioned as something that turns anyone on or off to anyone else. Sure, beautiful people have noses which fit their faces perfectly, but rarely is that something which people seem to consciously consider. Likewise, an awful nose will drive people away- that's when it's noticed and spoken about.

It makes me wonder, outside of Sick Boy and her straight-nosed Scotsman fetish, does anyone ever pay attention to noses, or do you only ever notice them if they're an exceptionally standout feature on whoever you're observing?

I inspect everyone with a microscope. There is not hiding from my scrupulous gaze. But in actuality, Little imperfections don't really matter. Hell, they're important. Imperfections make up who we are (phsically). Have what you have and goddamn love it.

you want a good goddamn??? tape urself fucking

Well, I too have a big nose. I realized this a few years ago. I have been called a "big nosed jew" on several occasions throughout my life so far. It is ironic that I am not in fact jewish at all. I don't think that I look for someone with an attractive nose in my guys or girls. However, if it was a defining feature on someones face, good or bad, it might sway me in my decision of whether or not I would be attracted to them. BTW - are you happy with you nose or no? I am just fine with mine, but I have been told to get a nose job. But I don't think I am a shallow individual and looks are not that important to me if someone is a good, likeable person.

Spiffy, you're all kinds of gorgeous. I've seen pictures, Well, that one picture. You have too many good features for the nose to "stand out" in a negative way.

Heh, I just watched the movie Roxanne today. Steve Martin is such a cool guy that no one cares about his nose, except him. You're the same way.

My nose would have been straight if i didnt fucking break it. It's sort of got a big lump on it now. Its not exactly a BIG nose but the lump pisses me off.

I don't really think it makes a difference on people what shape their nose is. I mean, unless it's absurdly deformed and there's no way you can miss it, it's just an imperfection; something everyone has.

I have a big fat Jewish nose, but I don't care. I've even been told it's cute

Like Little Pea said, imperfections are in everyone, and they make up who we are. Wouldn't it kind of suck if everyone was perfect?

That's not even possible, because everyone's ideal image is different, right?

Don't sweat it. Someone out there will think it's cute, hah.

I don't know, mine fits me, for better or for worse.

I notice noses... probably because I have a big nose of my own. I come from a family of big noses... bastards.

Ben has a big nose, it's lovely.

Ben's nose + my nose = poor poor kid.

Patrick Stewart has a big nose, he's sexy.

It's true that as long as it fits the face, even the biggest nose is attractive.

Sadly, my nose does not fit my face.

Btw: Cindy, what sort of payout would you expect for pictures of Spiffy? He was too whimpy to show his face. ...Oh yes, I said whimpy
