crazy, beautiful

i had no intentions of fueling the fire we started yesterday via comments.... but alas, i cannot resist the temptation to talk about physical appearance.

most of my friends are attractive. this is my bunko group, for the love of God. granted, not all of us are super models, but there's not really one who's just awful to look at. even in high school, my friends were good-looking. i did not intentionally befriend them because they were easy on the eyes, it just kinda happened that way. (maybe subconsciously that's what i was doing, who knows.) but i surrounded myself with beauty.

these days, i have a much wider range of friends (believe it or not), but like bunny mentioned - the less attractive people are not keen on going out or taking "party pics." this is so sad to me, that society has set such a standard of perfection, that wonderful human beings are not comfortable with themselves because their physical appearance. argh. for some of my favorite people in the whole world are not the prettiest or most handsome people according to society's standards.... but they are, in my opinion, some of the most fabulous human beings ever created.

don't get me wrong.... i am not professing to be "suzy sunshine i love everyone" .... i am just as superficial as the next person... it's human nature. i like to look at attractive people. i date attractive people. i hang out with attratcive people most of the time. but i do try to break out of that mold and love people for who they are and not what they look like.

who set this standard of beauty anyway? ppffccct. there are some people on my list of smokin' hot people, that some might wrinkle their nose at. for example.... steven tyler of aerosmith. i heart him. he's not generally considered a "good looking" person, but oh mah gawd, i love him.

got someone who you think is attractive that everyone might not?
