Darling, We've Got To Talk

Major Edit!: Fuckin hell I just read Andrew's blog, and the lyrics I put up were there. Exact same ones. Damn ghey. So I changed the song of this post.

Oh, pretty girl
You turned it on, you turned it out, it all felt off
That's how it is, that’s how it was
You searched it all so well, underwater in a well
You smeared on cool lips while checking off a checked-off list
The situation’s never kind, feathering a dance-hall stride

Bad Education - Tilly and the Wall

It's amazing how sometimes, the smallest of things can affect your outlook on life, or the way you go about living it. Depending on what that thing is, some might call it petty, whilst you might think it means the world. In that sense, it's more of a matter of perception, then, I guess.

Just now in class, we were discussing beauty and what it means to us. Being one of the three male students in the class, I gave a more.. male approach (for want of a better term) to the question, compared to the girls. They touched mostly on confidence and um.. yeah, confidence. Then I went and said it's about how she carries herself, walks, dresses, and probably exudes an aura of "hey look at me, I'm gorgeous" kind of thing. Very male, I guess.

So yeah. Then we went to the physical aspect of beauty, like, what aspect makes a woman / girl beautiful. Some answered the way they dressed, the way they smile, what their faces look like, et al. I said I'd find a person who can really pull of the traditional costume look, beautiful. Because I actually like to see people in their traditional costumes, though I don't really like to wear mine most of the time. Maybe because I look tiny in it.

So anyway, with regards to beauty, well the topic on physical appearance is one rather touchy thing right now. And it does tend to play around with one's confidence and perception of life. Like, there's this guy I know pretty well enough to say that he does tend to over-think things, and sometimes he makes big deals out of nothing, but he's also a pretty nice chap, if you get to know him. He might not show it much, but he's really irritated and/or bugged by one physical aspect that has plagued him for half his life, so far. That one aspect causes so much damage to his way of living, though sometimes he does forget about it and goes on with life. But ultimately, it'll come and bite him in the ass. So yeah. I could say he's pretty damn frustrated, actually.

Oh, and he thinks he's stubborn too. Mmmm yes he does. Headstrong, I'd call it. Hahaha.

And gosh I just read something that made my spine tingle all over. It's quite.. um.. sugary and so.. oh-my-god-y. Hahahaha. Wow. Actually almost got a headache trying to read that. It's like, my brain is saying to me, "Go ahead, read one more sentence and I'll jump out your ear. Then we'll see who's laughing now."

Or something like that.
