*Insert title of your choosing here*

I am an attractive person. This was made perfectly clear by the creeper in the WSU tunnel system today.

I was descending the stairs from the library to the basement when I hear something weird. I think it's coming from my bag so I look behind me only to see a guy right behind me. I'm somewhat startled but he starts laughing at me so I laugh back. I explain that I thought my bag was making a weird noise and that I didn't hear him, thus the startledness. He smiles, I smile, I hold the door for him, awkward interaction over.

As I make my way to the exit closest to my dorm I think he's behind me again. It's like when you say goodbye to someone and then you start walking the same direction. Ok, scratch that. It's exactly that. It's awkward and while I tend to cause a lot of awkward situations, I'm not the biggest fan of them.

Only it's not the same dude. It's a much smaller creepier guy, who when he passes me, looks me up and down and said "Oh, you cute, you real pretty."

Reeeally? I had no idea. Thanks, my self esteem is all boosted up now thanks to you. Do you have a horse? or perhaps an private island to which you want whisk me off ?

I give him a placating nod and try my hardest to fall back, giving a reasonable distance between us. All the while replaying Buffy combat sequences in my head.

Gee, thanks really creepy guy. That means a lot. I know these things. I have a symmetrical face and a nice rack. It's the way the world turns.

Now please don't assume that I say these tings with any amount of pride. I see very little point in taking credit for, or even being prideful over something that I don't control in the least. I've never understood why a certain face or body type is attractive to people. I once had a completely half baked theory that we are attracted to "beautiful" people so we can have good looking kids. But for what? So they can mate and have even better looking kids? So that in the end everyone is attractive? That really makes zero sense. It's superficial and stupid and if taken as a logical fact, one could conclude that our entire purpose in life is to be attractive. As far as I know being good looking really has no survival value past the one we place on it.

So rather than being flattered that some weird college kid found me attractive, I was somewhat offended. I would have been more flattered if he would have said "Wow, you're really smart." Or "You have such a winning personality." But I guess that can't be seen. (Actually I would have preferred it if he would have said "You have bewitched me body and soul and I love... I love... I love you." And if he looked like Nick Jonas. On a horse. In Knights armor.) But circumstances as they were, I began to think. Shocker.

I've always been relatively attractive. I could never control that. I mean, seriously, if you know my mother, she's smokin'. But I never put any stock into it. Maybe I was raised this way, but who I actually am just seems infinity more important.

It bothers me to no end when a "pretty" person gets away with being a complete moron. For some reason physical appearance outweighs mental capacity. There are these two African American kids on Wright States campus who wear blue colored contacts. Ok, first off, I cannot think of anything more stupid than colored contacts. Especially for these guys. Seriously, I know your eyes are brown. Your poor skill with putting them in leaves the real color poking out.

At the risk of being a total creeper I won't name names, but the most beautiful people I know are the ones who are beautiful on the inside. And yes, I know that like the corniest thing ever, but it's true. I think that compassion, wit, courage, patience and honor are much more valuable to a person than something as fleeting as looks. Because in all actuality, our physical appearance diminishes. One day I might be as fat as a cow with a mustache that I can no longer control. And honestly, there's enough of the world in me that the idea kind of scares me, but when I really think about it, I think I'd be ok with it. Because I know that deep down I've always had the personality of an ugly girl in a pretty girls body. I guess thats what I'd call it, the people who I really like. The personality of an ugly person. Because your stereotypical"pretty" person is rude, mean, self-centered and stupid. So if I really think about it, I'd rather be not so "cute," (Oh, I could rant about the word cute. And probably will someday).

So yeah... I can't really think of anything meaningful or clever to say for a close, so insert clever statement of your choosing here.
