we are all beautiful people

okay, so this is in response to paddy's post, which ironically enough is in response to someone else's post...

anyway, haloscan told me it was too long for comments so i thought that meant it might warrent it's only blog post.

i remember making the realisation once that i had only ever dated one guy who wasn't attractive (and that was grade 8, and even he wasn't bad at the time, but whoa, he's not lookin' good these days...) and that everyone else i have dated have been attractive.

i also realised that all my friends are really attractive people (yes, you, you out there, all you sexy sexy people!). i started to get really paranoid about it actually. started figuring that it meant i was some totally shallow person, someone who was trying to fool myself into believing that i was some open accepting person, when all the while i would only hang out with beautiful people.

then someone pointed out to me that they were/are all attractive to me because i like them so much. and there are people i dated that others really couldn't see why i thought they were attractive (i.e. jake) but that i was incredibly attracted to.

the thing is, i find that once i get to know someone, they physically look different than when i first saw them. this goes for hot people becoming not hot people, and homely people becoming comely people.

i have actually often thought this is one of those times i wish i could draw. i think that if i drew a picture of someone i first first met and hadn't talked to, and then got to know them and later drew another picture of them, the pictures would be different. it would be an interesting experiment. unfortunately the stick figures that i'm capable of drawing do not imbue quite enough personality, just not enough nuances in the lines... ;)

but yeah, come to a party at our house, look around and you'll see it's just a room full of hotties.

then there is that depressing theory that attractive people stick together. i prefer not to think about that, but it does seem to be a common sight walking down the street. attractive people seem to travel in packs.

okay, i need to go to bed, too much self-examination for one night...
