Face Value

Yes, it's me, posting again. AGAIN. For two reasons:
1. I'm waiting for my KD to boil and there's no one currently online to occupy my attention.
2. I've been reading through Kev's archives from YEARS ago (so as not to miss out when the journal pulls a Marie Antoinette and gets AXED) and reading such concentrated blog (contrablog! like.. contrabass! Am I being weird? That happens sometimes!) makes me want to do more blogging myself. It's like a DISEASE.

Anyways, today's random thought is about appearances. This is not a new thought, not at all, but makes for an interesting ramble I think. The key fact here is that I don't care what you look like. Well I do, but it's not quite so straightforward. The thing about me (and everyone?) is that there is a HUGE discrepancy when it comes to finding someone attractive vs. being attracted to them. When I meet people for the very first time I'll probably label them as HAWT or *shrug* (hey I AM human and all) BUT that judgement has absolutely no application. Very often the people that I find the most attractive off the bat are the people that I am the least attracted to. Maybe because very pretty people have a very intangible, untouchable quality about them. It's a little hard to explain, but you kinda get what I mean? So Jenn, what the hell are you attracted to if not attractive people?! Well, you see, I AM indeed attracted to an attractive appearance BUT the sort of attractiveness that comes with ATTRACTION stems from personality. Let me clarify. When I meet new people (should I be saying "guys" instead of people so as not to confuse you? Girls are different, I find them attractive but am not attracted), the attraction is sort of neutral, and often I'm neutral about whether I think they are attractive looking. If I get to know someone and think they have a great personality that fits my own, I will become attracted to them and will begin to find them more and more physically attractive, increasing the more I like them. It actually works out really well for me.. I'll never date anyone ugly because if I like you enough to date you it means your personality has already made you appear physically attractive to me whether you actually are or not! ("are or not" in terms of majority vote? Whatever) Hahah! It works the opposite way too. On several occasions there have been people who I've found attractive off the bat, you know the people who everyone thinks are gorgeous.. well, if I get to know someone and dislike who they are.. I stop finding them attractive and they lose any physical appeal.

Kinda cool eh? I think so. I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE! Well, I do.. but.. yeah, you hopefully understand now what I mean! (That is, you understand if you've managed to keep in mind the difference between "attractive" and "attraction" but that's not a hard one.)

I am going to post a few (ok, maybe several) pictures. Mostly because they make me really excited. But they are Jessica's... GORGEOUS, AMAZING, INTELLIGENT JESSICA WHO IS SUPER-AWESOME AT PHOTOGRAPHY! (I couldn't wait to get your permission, I'm impatient and excitable like that, but tell me if you want me to take em down and I shall.)

I LOVE this picture.. I love you guys so fucking much!! (Jesse, Jessica, Helen, Me, Ronnie, Gita)


**To see the rest of the pictures that I have posted, please go to LJ to see them since I cannot do a cut on blogger like I can on LJ.. and because it's easier to post pictures on LJ, and because it's late and I'm lazy.
