[When Jennifer opens up the video feed, she's frowning at something off-camera.]

... This was a sweet gift and all, but I have to wonder how I'm supposed to swim in this. [She turns the camera to show a mermaid tail made out of yellow fabric, complete with a card from a fan.] I mean, I loved The Little Mermaid when I was little, but this is a bit much.

Comments

[dancingmd]

I'm not surprised. I mean, I'm surprised by the mermaid tail itself, but not that you have fans.

[forsometimenow]

Really? I don't see myself as having star quality.

[dancingmd]

Maybe not, but being a star is different from people liking you. You're an intelligent and highly gifted doctor with a good sense of humor and you're kind and cute to boot, so why wouldn't the audience like you?

[forsometimenow]

Well- I mean... [Congratulations, Bev, you've managed to fluster her.] Kaneis mentioned the looks thing once. I guess I'm my own worst critic, because I wouldn't call any of that enough to have fans.

[dancingmd]

[Good. And she’s glad someone else has said something too.]

You are. Trust me, no one is judging you nearly as harshly as you’re judging yourself.

[forsometimenow]

And let's face it, I don't exactly have high marks in the self-confidence department, either.

[dancingmd]

[She nods with understanding. Believe it or not, she went through some of that too, when she was younger.]

I know... and having someone tell you to believe in yourself is a lot harder than actually doing it.

[A grin.]

Doesn't mean I won't keep telling you to, though.
