stupid things

[neebs]

let me begin by saying there is nothing like sitting in a waiting room with very pregnant women with large, glittery diamonds on their fingers first thing in the morning to make you feel rather inadequate for the rest of the day. stupid married people.

i had a doctor's appointment this morning at 10 in annapolis, so i decided to not come into work before it, since i'd have been here for an hour and then have to leave. technically, that meant i could have slept in, but i work up at 7:15 and freaked out because my alarm hadn't gone off yet. and then i remembered i got to sleep in. and then i laid in bed for another hour before my alarm went off, just waiting to be able to get up, and what do i do? i hit the snooze button...and fall asleep. where was that sleep when i had an hour left??? stupid body.

last night the parkway was amazing. i made it home in 34 minutes. or i would have if i hadn't stopped at the grocery store. it was a good thing it was such a good ride, though, because by 4 yesterday afternoon, i had a headache about the size of a small cow. which is considerably larger than my head. it was unpleasant. i got home and put on jammies and laid in my bed and watched TV until i got up to take a shower, put the jammies back on, and go back to bed. i watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding (which i think is turning into one of my favorite movies, since i watch it-or at least parts of it-every Monday night on Showtime) and then i watched the season finale of Average Joe.

instead of calling the show Average Joe, they should have called it Average Ho. for those of you who are unfamiliar with the show, here's a brief recap: hot ex-cheerleader girl gets to pick one out of a bunch of "average" guys to spend her life with. the twist is that once she's down to 4 average guys, 4 supermodel hottie guys are brought in to compete with the average dudes. so she's down to one major hottie, but the dude is painfully stupid. (in my opinion, anyway) he's 27 and a student-an UNDERGRAD student-somewhere in California. like Los Angeles Community College, perhaps? the other guy, i really like. he's not super hot, but he is cute. he's nice, he's funny, he's smart as anything, he started his own tech company and he's a millionaire. and who does the bimbo pick? the hot guy. the stupid, flaky hot guy. what a load of crap.

i was very disappointed in the show. it pisses me off that she'd pick the attractive guy over the better person. once looks fade, don't you want something to fall back on? i think you should be with someone who you appreciate for their person, not for their looks. of course, i know i'm super lucky because my Very Hot Guy IS a great person, but still. wouldn't you rather have a relationship with someone who can make you laugh and make you feel good about yourself than someone who has flawless skin, or perfect teeth, or a 6-pack? i'm not talking about eye candy here, i'm talking about a deep, meaningful relationship. if you want a one-night stand, by all means i would endorse the hotness, but for something worthwhile, it's all about the good heart. which is why i think the show was awful, because she's supposed to be looking for the deep, not the shallow. stupid girls.

What did you expect? She was a cheerleader, and if that's all she's got going for her, then wouldn't you expect that she would go for the same type of person as her? I'm sure they will be very happy together for about 4 months until they get a divorce and move on to their next 5 husbamds/wives who will marry them because of their looks until finally they are rejected by everyone because they are old and ugly and useless. Well, we can hope so anyway. :p

Amen to that. I am on board with you about Average Joe-For most girls High school is all about dating the good looking guys because they like the reaction they get. Sure, it's really nice to have someone who's good looking as well as appealing, but when it comes down to a long term relationship it's all about the mind. Looks last for 30-maybe even 40-years before they start to fade. Sooner or later EVERYONE becomes your average Joe. It's the ones you can hold a conversation with that you need to look for.
