It's nice having a photographic memory. But something tells me it'd be even nicer if that camera in my head was a Polaroid.
Not that I'm complaining...

i like knowing.
not all the time though. just when it pertains to me. sometimes. and even then, only if it's easily accessible and convenient for me to obtain.
sometimes, knowledge is too much work.

...Between choosing to delay growing up (let's call it almost-Peter Pan syndrome) and full-blown arrested development. But apparently that line is fat enough for me to walk on. Defiantly. 
On a (semi) related note, if 40 really is the new thirty, wouldn't it be appropriate (or perfectly reasonable, at least) to have my quarter-life crisis right about... now? Not saying I will, but just having that excuse in my back pocket might come in handy.
Just a thought.

I was walking around today when some guy handed me a flyer for one of those gross eyebrow booths that seem to be everywhere nowadays. As I was on my way away from him, it occured to me that something I just can't seem to get my head around is that people actually go to have their teeth whitened or eyebrows (or body hair...) threaded off at the mall. In front of everyone.
It just astounds me that these people, who willingly allow themselves to be displayed in the middle of a freaking shopping center as a live advertisement, are the same people who are trying so desperately to hide even the tiniest of their so-called flaws or perceived imperfections. These people, who subject themselves to having random passersby observing or even silently mocking them as they walk by, are the same people who are so ashamed of their eyebrows or mustaches or arm hair or teeth in their current state that they decide to go to such measures to improve. Ironic, isn't it?
But hey, who am I to judge? We all go through some degree of the same thing, don't we? I don't know if many people are ever able to reach the point where they are totally and completely secure in their own skin... But (and that is a big but- I cannot lie) the way we approach and pursue self-betterment matters too, I think, and it definitely affects how long it takes us to get where we want to be and whether or not we become the people we want to be. Do we change who we are in order to like ourselves better? Or do we learn to like who we already are?
I guess the moral of this is... that eyebrow threading thing really creeps me out.
Seriously.
Blergh.
