Heightened suggestion

Have you guys ever seen Shallow Hal? It's an awesome movie about how a guy perceives the attractiveness of women based upon their inner beauty after becoming hypnotized in an... elevator, I think. It's been too long. In any case, I think people should be hypnotized.

If people are attractive I find that while I look at them and hold a conversation it's very easy to get distracted by all of that (true for both guys and girls). When I walk away I wonder whether I actually like them or if their attractiveness is blinding me from realizing that they're horrible people. To counter that there's something that I do. The first time I talk to someone I'll look at them directly, but after that initial meeting I'll stand next to them or put myself in a position where I don't have to stare at them while talking. The thing is after you get to know someone solely based upon personality your perception of their superficial appearance is altered as well. Someone highly attractive can become as disturbing as Frida Kahlo's unibrow and as dull as ceiling tiles whereas someone that looks like Mr. Bean can end up looking like Josh Duhamel--okay, that's a bit of a stretch, but I trust you know what I'm trying to say here, so we'll leave it at that.

Almost forgot about this song. Throwback!

I woke up happy. That's always a good sign. Too bad this won't last long. There's always this girl that complains about her life to me. Her life being ONE midterm in the next week. Good grief. I'm glad she's comfortable, but I'm not a therapist and her petty problems completely drain my energy. The only people that I wouldn't mind hearing complain don't unless it's something worth complaining about.
