ugly is the new beautiful

"so how much baht should i pay you?
-just one. yours."

for a moment or two, she looked at me funny. then started bursting out laughing. jamie fox, our newest addition to the group. sweet girl, love her company, but ridiculously annoying when the guys go drooling after her. not her, the guys. why cant guys think through their balls for less than a minute for once? its quite a turnoff to see them lust/drool/heart pulpitate over a pretty girl. come on, i'm sure they can do better than that. its just degrading, and it works both ways.

i have a friend who used to go fullblown tomato red when she sees a bunch of cute ac guys when we were 15. fine, we had raging hormones to blame on then, but it was still, nonetheless, embarrassing. a little more selfcontrol would bring you miles further.

anyway, as i was saying, uh, yea, lustful men. if we were created in the image of God, then where did this animalistic instinct of 'the mating call' come from? i can almost hear kio going, "nat geog taught me that." haha. its just, i dont know, warped! i mean, do you honestly have to be pretty to be wanted by all? since when did my friends get so concerned with aesthetics? good looks are bonuses arent they, not must haves.

like just now, when i was telling kevin during spiderman how my fingers were falling off because i was so freaking cold, he turned to me and saw yyong behind tucking her toes under my butt and went,"does yyong (in jeans, and already with a jacket) need my jacket?" like wth. me, gloria, clad in shorts and a tee, is telling you that she's freezing her ass off, and you reply by asking the pretty girl behind me whether she needs a jacket? men. urgh! hate you all.

i should be single, retreat into an abandoned cave high up in those tibetian mountains and live on mr pringles with my clean shaven head for the rest of my life. maybe, just maybe, would i then start appreciating the beauty of being ugly. what irony. urgh.
