XX-Access's blog post - Somehow Shallow

Friday, October 10, 2008, 3:15:51 PM
There is something that has been going through my
head lately and has been dug up and put right on top
of the mental pile by almost losing my friendship with
someone who might prefer not to be named on here
and .. a blog of somebody not to be named here, either.

The way I end up picking my friends is terrible.
Mind you, the friends are not, but I keep noticing that
I practically solely dedicate my friendship to gorgeous
people. There is not one ugly person in my little (ex-
clusively online, by the way) circle of friends. What
does that make me ?

A shallow bastard, I suppose.

Now, it's not like I would be friends with a hot airbrain.
I don't think that I could stand that for even a few
minutes. But doesn't that actually make it worse ?
Isn't it awfully decadent of me to "pick out" an "elite"
group of amazing people ? It's not really a conscious
effort, mind you. But that's where I am drawn and it
is what it ends up being. It just seems that it makes
me a... not very good person, so...

I wonder how to fix it.

You're a better person than you realise. I think we all, every one of us, does that to some degree. It makes you human. Even if we aspire to something greater, it's not completely bad to just be.

Dunno if that's any solace.

Look, I didn't study sociology and psychology for nothin'!
It's 'cause YOU are an elite and amazing person. You're just attracted to people like yourself. And they are attracted to you and your amazing brain. Simple, isn't it?
