hey hey
its been i while since ive posted... well have been busy like a bee!! good ol clichés. anyway finally the stress isnt so bad at school..but i know next year is gonna be even harder. oh well it will give the old noggin some excercise. well partys cancelled so im not sure what the plans are for this evening... i wanted to go to d'oc but its all wet and rainy. i dont like being wet. so yeah boston trip!! whoo hoooo!! i got my money in. some ppl think that the stuyff were doing will be boring... i siure dont think so. it will be awesome specially if a lot of people go. *hint hint* well im wanting to say something intelligent and interesting but nothing comes to mind. oh yeah i was reading this magazine 'psychology today' and there was this really interesting article on why this guy micheal levine hates beauty. it says "poets rave about beauty. brave men have started wars over beauty. women the world over strive for it. scholars devote their lives to deconstructing out impulse to obtain it. ordinary mortals erect temples to beauty. in jsut about every way imaginable, the world honors physical beauty. but i hate beauty." its facinating to really think about how much enphasis(sp?) is put on being physically attractive. Im usually self concious about my appearance... but what really drives us to being so obsessed and vain. Although there are people who dont really care about beauty the vast majority do. There was a stufy that the contrast effect operates powerfully in the sphere of person -to person attractiveness. Studies have shown that judments of attractiveness depend on the situation. For instance a women of average attractiveness walks into a room full of highly attractive people she will seem less attractive than she really is. This works in reverse if there is a room of unattractive women and the same women of average attractiveness walks in and will seem a lot more attractive than she really is. In other words context counts. well there were other interesting thnigs but i would rather not blog too much cuz then people will probably be less inclined to read it ifits extrememly long. YOU PEOPLE ARE LAZY!. just kidding. anyway i want to know what you think about the topic. I know renee will probably insert her opinion some time. Feel free to sign the guestbook.
