Intelligence Speaks For Itself
The Fear Of Appearing Dumb
The universal need to be accepted by others can be a barrier that prevents us from being ourselves around them. When we fear that the people we encounter will perceive us as inept or unintelligent, we frequently try to flaunt our grasp of large words or clever witticisms or our professional expertise in an effort to convince them that we are smart and capable. The reasons for feeling this way can be many, and they can often stem from as far back as your childhood. Many women in particular have the fear that they may appear not smart. Yet overcompensating for this fear can have the opposite effect if others are driven away by what they see as an immodest attitude or sense that you are urgently trying to prove yourself. The simple desire to be judged smart by both new and old acquaintances can cause you to reject your true self and adopt an affected persona. But in trying so persistently to project an image of supreme intelligence or capability, you deny others the opportunity to become acquainted with the real and terrific individual you truly are.
The fear that others will perceive you as unintelligent can further influence your behavior, causing you to consciously avoid speaking your mind or asking questions. You may feel uncomfortable participating in activities if there is a chance that you won't excel or taking part in discussions with others who may have more knowledge than you. In essence, you become ashamed of who you are and attempt to encase your identity in a veneer that others will find pleasing and impressive. It is, however, a common fear-one experienced by almost everyone at some point in their lives. The simplest way to combat it is to make a personal commitment to being yourself in your home, your workplace, and among strangers. Ask yourself how you believe the individuals you encounter will react should you speak awkwardly, need clarification, or fail to be the best at some activity. By being yourself, you will discover that all people make mistakes and ask questions and that others will like and respect you because they recognize the goodness in your soul.
The fact that you are willing to be yourself, letting your many affirmative attributes express themselves naturally, will help you make a positive first impression on everyone you meet and earn the esteem of your family and friends. Your confidence and easygoing manner will say, - this is who I am and I am proud of the person I have become.

What are Biorhythms?
"Biorhythms are inherent cycles that affect you physically, emotionally and intellectually. They regulate your metabolism, coordination, emotions, memory, sexuality, creativity and more.
As each of your biorhythm cycles rise and fall, so does your ability to perform certain tasks, physical activities, deal with stress, and make sound decisions.
Here is a list of the three fundamental cycles and their respective durations. They have been color-coded to match international biorhythm standards:
Physical Biorhythm Cycle - Red - 23 days....
Emotional Biorhythm Cycle - Blue - 28 days ....
Intellectual Biorhythm Cycle - Green - 33 days..."

Who is Icestorm?
My turn-ons are hockey, men without luggage or strings but with big, GIANT
senses of humor.
My turn-offs are Yuku not letting us customize our domains the way we want
to while turning us into a lame, myspace clone.
Who cares what I like! 
Seriously, I'm a Corpus
Christi Rayz hockey fan, and a die hard hockey fan in general. I've been a message board brat for 8 years, going on nine now, and I have met some of the
most wonderful people as well as my fair share of the scum of the earth. I started playing with message boards way back when all you had to work with was a
generic threaded style, and smilies were no more than keystrokes. ;o) Now we are on the slow train to Yukuria.
The pride of my present EZBoard community, Nekkid Amazon Hockey , is its wonderful members. We have had people from all over the US and Canada post with us. Even the rival team fans have gotten along for the most part. There are always troublemakers, but that's a part of life. We have a lot of nonhockey fun and boast about our unintentional love connections. We've had 3 couples meet on our board (from 6 rival teams), with two couples getting married and the third living in romantic bliss. They met first on the board, then in person, moved, and join hearts and souls. That alone makes it all worthwhile. Even as our traffic dwindles with other boards springing up, we continue on with our friends, knowing that we are all fans of the sport first, and the geographical location of our teams second. I have been truly blessed to know these wonderful individuals.
