Missing you. And you. And you. And you. And...

[pphaneuf]

I miss someone, but not in the bad "I cry myself to sleep" way, rather in a cool "brings a smile to my face" way. Something reminds me of her, and I grin. I don't know how one way rather than the other comes to be, and I wish I knew (so I could bias it!), but I only ever knew the other kind before, so this comes as a nice surprise.

I've been thinking about the kind of girls I'm attracted to recently, and I find myself rather puzzled by the variety. Long hair, short hair, blonde, redhead, brunette, caucasian, asian, middle-eastern, tall, short, average, heavy, thin, not so thin... And it's not like I've been in love so many times, I got through all of this with about six girls total, over 15 years. Strange, I can't really say what is "my type". No one is safe!

Assembled some shelves for my study, installed my desk-top shelf, emptied box into them, combined leftovers in less boxes, good stuff! I can actually go straight to my computer now. Still plenty to do, but there's the smell of sanity in the air (and apparently, it smells like pine wood).

Watched Lethal Weapon tonight with bohemianpsyche and hub_. Okay, just one comment: hollow point bullets have a hole at their point.

"No one is safe!"

This is the best dating philosophy ever.

Strange, I can't really say what is "my type".

Perhaps "your type" isn't defined how girls look, but how their personalities?

When I wrote this, I thought that I might just be a bit superficial, but I figured I might just start at the physical level. I have a better idea, personality-wise (smart, likes to laugh, mischievous), but I was looking at random people on the metro, seeing who I thought was attractive, as an experiment, and it was all over the place.

I guess that's a good thing?

Mischievous is good. Very good. It will keep you on your toes and bring much fun (and annoyment ;-) to your life, hehe.

I guess that's a good thing?

If it's because you care more for the person than her looks, then yes. If it's because you're too desperate, then no :-P

My intuition tells me it's the first, so it's a Good Thing.

Oh yes, I think we agree on mischievous. :-)

As for the person rather than the looks, I'd say that this is generally true for me, yes, and I don't feel desperate about this. But for the metro experiment, this is pretty much all about the looks, I'd guess, right? It's not like I talked to these people to see how they were!

well no, as one would probably think you're absolutely nuts for talking o random people in the metro. then again, the only time i did it was because I saw the same guy (i'd noticed he was Cree) several times, and we kept bumping into each other getting out of the doors at Cote-Vertu when I was going to Vanier. after the third time bumping into each other, we stopped above the metro and introduced ourselves, and walked together for a bit. saw him numerous times later, but then i went to nightschool and didnt see him anymore. Terri was cuuuuute! and had this... i don't know, this "almost mysterious, but if you asked him he'd tell you" way about him.

And I agree with skjalm about "I guess that's a good thing?

If it's because you care more for the person than her looks, then yes. If it's because you're too desperate, then no"

Many people, I've found through asking, don't actually have a "physical" type, and many of them even describe a similar "air" about the types of people they were attracted to. my friend allie loved overly-confident men who were actually the most insecure men you could find, and that was literally the only connection between the guys she liked. one was blond, short, muscled and dim-witted, another was bi, cheated on her, dark-haired, and averagely-built, and the most recent one was extremely tall, Native, and uh, largely overweight.

*yawns* and now, i leave the internet café and get some damned sleep!

[pphaneuf.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wouldn't talk to these people! More like just giving a look at all the people of the appropriate sex on the metro, and looking into myself whether I found them attractive or not, and if I did, why.

And it would seem that the conclusion is that no one is safe. :-)
