I am some what jealous of her. I am not saying I would want to loose my legs, just that it would be awesome to be able to change them out and be as tall as I want to.

i disagree with her on one point--i think children are naturally uneasy with unusual-looking people. when i was a kid, i was scared of amputees even after teachers and parents told me not to be. even if it's intrinsic, it can still be overcome in time by experience

She is so hot. She is so inspirational. She shows beauty doesn't have to be beautiful
