A day in the Life of Being Cute

Okay, lets get two things out of the way...

One, people who are considered good-looking by society have their gripes, which can be countered by those who are not considered good-looking, and vise-versa. It is this with many different cases. One does not trump or cancel the other. In fact, one of the things I hate most is when someone says, "Well you think you have it bad, well..." or something along those lines. If your response to someone after they have complained about something is to tell them how they have it better, then (to give a list within a list) you one, did not actual listen to them, and two, just marginalized their feelings. Both of which, no one would ever want done to them.

But getting onto my first list...

Second, I realize that I bitch a lot on this blog, actually I mainly only complain. But it is my blog. It is my sound board. The good things in my life I prefer to share with people personally. Dear God, if you know me, you know how much I love to talk.

So anyways...

The bitch about being cute or good-looking is that if you want to be seen as anything different than that, you REALLY need to be different. If you want to be taken as smart, you have to come off as fucking genius. If you want to be taken seriously with sports, you need to know every name, stat and year. If you want to be known as having a spine, well you better start a fight with anything that fucking breathes. You get my point?

The thing is, this is not who you are. I am not that smart. I do not keep up to date with sports every day. I do not have the spine and attitude that so many think I have.

But say I fail in being able to understand and learn something. Say I mix up a player and their team or forget a stat. Say I just feel sad one day and do not feel like showing any spunk. Well to those who don't know me, then they just see me as that cute girl. And those who do know me, they are confused by my behavior. Because all they know is the person who is trying her damnedest to not be seen as that cute girl.

That's the beauty of alcohol - it makes the playing field level for everybody!
