i love other people's journals
i just can't get over justin register's journal entry....hmmm good thoughts they are
"where are all the good girls dead, in the heart or in the head? what is the deal with the romantic population? (or at least the ones that i find myself next to) i went with some friends to an outta town type place and stepped back to watch some interactions. as the night progressed people seemed pass each other around like a bag of skittles at the movies. it seemed like everyone was in constant "mack mode." oh, hey there. how you doin boy A? moments pass...attention wanes... how you doin boy B? and then ... how you doin justin? (hand on thigh) and as i watched this happen i was less irritated at the bag of skittles and more at the boys dippin their hand into it everytime it passed by. you know all you're doin is spoilin your dinner! so what is my problem with this you ask? where is the romance? my friend dave says that i have too fantastical a view of love but i dont think that i'm too far off base here. its kinda like lately people are out to fill a position with whoever is standing next to them at the moment. " ok, i find you attractive. and we have____ in common so we would make a great couple... couple of what i dont know, but since we made eye contact we are obviously interested in spending the rest of our lives or the next 2 months together. where is the romance in this? things like this always end badly. in this culture that wants immediate gratification we cant make it through the wanting. we cant sit back and let things unfold. if we did then we would realize after 2 weeks that our undying love was nothing more than the fact that we thought the other person was hot and smiled a lot during our moments of conversation and that made us feel good. it made us feel... funny. but thats not love. thats not the thing that makes girls giggle when their girlfriends mention your name or make a guy think about stopping on the way to your house to by you flowers. i dont really know how to achieve that but i do have a plan. Im stepping out of the constant search for a chase. hopefully i will develop a friendship among many that will blossom. we will become close over a period of time and realize all the odd things we have in common and how well our personalities go together. heres the wrench, through all of this we are just friends. the idea really isnt there that there could be something more. and then out of nowhere you catch that person in the right light and you realize how beautiful they are and it will be beautiful for a million different reasons, not because the have great boobs or an angelic face or superior diction, but all they're idiosyncratic details that you already know. i dont know exactly how to accomplish this and it's still in the idea phase but i think its actually crazy enough to work...I'll let you know.
