The other day, after I published the post, I dragged myself off of the computer and went- le gasp!- outside!
I saw the sun, smelled the grass, saw actual people, and rode my bike for the first time since April. It was very weird, but very fun as well.
I still can't spell weird. I always come up with with either wired or wierd, both of which are so horribly wrong that it's comical. I can't spell 'necessary', either. I always put in two "c's" instead of one. GAH. That's why I prefer paper, because paper doesn't tell me when I'm wrong. I'm never distracted by red and green squiggly red lines when I write on paper, and I can just (pretend to) write, without being distracted by every darn thing that I spelled wrong!
However, what I'm trying to say is that going outside is a very nice experience, and I am trying to do it more often.
Yesterday, five minutes after I went outside, a thunderstorm started, so maybe Mother Nature hates me and wants me as far away from her as possible. I don't know. Maybe I'll try again some other time.
But besides my laziness and my lack of desire to finish all of the summer math I must finish, I have a really minor problem.
Superficiality bothers me. It more than bothers me. I have gone on and on about how much I HATE superficiality, and it should have gone on that list of things that I hate.
I know all of these stupid girls who care more about how they look and who they date than what goes on inside their heads. Half of them haven't even heard of malaria, genocide, and other stuff that's actually really pretty important.
Hello, future of the world! (I live in the U.S., and most of the girls I know are like this. Hopefully not too many other girls in the world- whether they're American or not- behave this way.)
I'm not saying that it isn't nice to take pride in one's appearance. It's better if you do that, actually. It shows how you think of yourself. But not enough people stop thinking about that?
What am I trying to say?
Don't be superficial.
What makes someone superficial? If someone is a deep person but is also completely and totally obsessed with his or her hair, what does that make them? Is it even possible to be deep and still have an almost-overwhelming fondness for one's hair? If it's almost-overwhelming, maybe not, but what if you just really like your hair to look nice? If someone usually listens to good quality music but likes one really filler kind of music, what...what is that?
I guess why would be a better word.

How long I can go while avoiding my summer math. I haven't done any since Monday. I have to turn it in tomorrow, though.
Well, my sister (B, as you call her) is very tough and very rough and very scary at times, but she goes beserk whenever anyone even touches her hair. So maybe, like you said, being obssessed with looks but also being deep doesn't make you superficial.Maybe it just makes you... whatever the opposite of superficial is.
ReplyDeletePS: I couldn't spell 'necessary either, but ma mere gave me a useful tip: remember that there's one collar (the 'c') and two sleeves (the 's's). It works. For me, at least.
