I made it to ATL!! Hotlanta watch out, the sista's Gibbs are in the hizouse, and you ain't ready for this! Just kidding...but really Atlanta isn't ready for me... ;-)
But on my way down I started reading By the River Piedra I sat and wept by Paulo Coelho and it got me thinking about life and love (how is that different, you may wonder). Well I was thinking about how, although I say that looks are important to me, I find myself attracted to guys because of personality somewhat exclusive of looks. For example there is a guy who is kind of goofy and slightly out of shape, but he makes me laugh and we have conversations about meaningful topics and our silence is not uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, he isn't hard on the eyes by any means, he's kind of average, not the type of guy you would look at twice on the street. To me, though, he is more appealing than this other very handsome guy who is very athletic, handsome, and charming. But I guess this is evidenced through my history of guys...I've always liked the guy in the group that was slightly nerdy or goofy or not the norm. I definitely noticed that I'm more relaxed around guys who aren't traditionally handsome (i.e. tall dark and handsome) but have a little edge (whether that be a love for scifi, Family Guy, indy bands, poetry, cowboy boots, whatever). Could this be a result of my insecurity or simply evidence that there really is someone out there for everyone.
Anyway, random thoughts. I'm sure as I progress through this book and other Coelho books, I'll have other random thoughts that I will share. Until then, I'm in ATL, livin' it up!
