Miss Ellaneous

So who's that girl?
"uhh which girl?"

I mean sure I'm dating, but not "Dating."
I'm trying things Elder Oaks' way
'with a variety of dates... not implying something very serious.'
just now.

Will I continue to flirt with those people? Yes.
Will I continue to flirt with everyone else.
Absolutely.

That's just where I am.

There was a new girl at volleyball the other day.
She was fairly pretty, I won't deny that,
but I wondered if she wouldn't be even more pretty with just
a few changes. A little less tan, and some slightly smaller earrings.
A little less make-up and more natural looking hair.

Upon mentioning my experience.
There was an opinion that this girl probably got way more attention than anyone else.
Sure she received more attention than some, and less than others,
but I really believe that there were a lot more factors involved.

#1. She was new! I know it almost seem too obvious, but she got attention, because nobody knew anything about her... most of the other people that we didn't know got a lot of attention too.

#2. Perhaps we are not so shallow as one might think. I suppose some of us are, and some are not, but I would be surprised if a goodly number of people couldn't see that a person would look really good with a little less of the non-essential embellishments that perhaps some people like.

#3. Personality. Personality. Personality. She was nice and she was happy, and that goes along way. She said more to me than some of the others there have ever said. She didn't stay only with her friends, she was kind to everyone, and outgoing. She acted like she was happy that we were there, and happy that we received them, and when I saw her at a later date she remembered me.

She reminded me of someone actually.

A girl who once told me that she'd rather not be hot.
Or rather she didn't want people to say that she was hot.
She said she'd rather be pretty or cute, or something like that.

Ironically she understood the difference, she just didn't realize that she was hot.
She didn't realize that her definition was right but that everyone else was using the word in it's proper context. She wanted their definition to change, not change itself.

Which is interesting, when you think about it. I think Hollywood does it a lot.
They change the definition of words, so they don't have the same meaning.

It reminds of a movie that "should have be have been 'R.'" But because it is not, many people who would not otherwise see it, probably have. I don't understood why people don't take a less passive approach to their entertainment.

There is a website that helps me be less passive.
(I'm sure there are others too). I use Screen it dot com.

anyway I hope you enjoyed the miscellany

I understand the girl who made the pretty/cute comment. That sounds like something I would say.
