if perfect is what you're searching for then just stay the same

i've been totally hooked onto starcraft II, which is really good, and that explains the relative state of inertia here. as a matter of fact, i've been spending far more time online than i normally do, just, i spend those time on battle.net. i've been writing here too, just, i wrote a little here and there, so that i can complete them at a later time before hurriedly double clicking the SCII icon on my desktop and proceeding to blast things to bits with my siege tanks. so now i've got a bunch of half-finished writings here, and alot of missions to complete in SCII.

but today, i decided to haul my reluctant ass down here to finish some of my musings. what for, you ask. i've got no idea too - i just like to write about things that i find interesting. so here i am again, before starcraft II consumes me whole, much like how the overmind corrupted kerrigan.

i saw this really interesting post off a friend's facebook status. here's a truncated version of what she wrote:

you know that light does indeed travel faster than sound when someone who looks great initially opens his/her mouth to speak, but is totally unintelligible.

and actually, if you pause for a minute to let those words sink in, my friend is absoutely right.

for all the great looks that a girl can possess, if she is an idiot, then it is all for nought; she isn't very attractive.

i think i've said this before, but i'll just say it again: smart girls are sexy.

by smart, i don't mean, "i can do rocket science" kind of smart, no. by smart, i mean someone who has her own opinion on matters, and is eloquent and cognitive enough to express them. but of course, if she is handy about an instrument or two, or is athletic, or is gifted in some areas, those are all definitely great, but, for me at least, if someone can expressive herself coherently, oh, she is immediately on the right side of the attractive scale.

i came across this somewhere (i think it was some rom-com that i caught sometime back - go easy on me, i was bored) and it was said that the perfect women for a guy is e 's's.

she is smart, she is sweet, she is sexy.

and i thought that it isn't altogether untrue, not at all. by smart is a reference to a girl's intelligence, sweet - her character, and sexy - her physical attractiveness.

know i know quite a number of people who are smart and sweet, but not quite very sexy (not ugly, mind you, just not good-looking in the traditional sense of the word and, in my opinion, these are perhaps the 2nd most attractive people of the lot), and i know people who are smart and sexy (oh, those are queen bitches).

then there are people who are neither smart, nor sweet, nor sexy and i've had the misfortune of knowing 1 or 2 of such people, but, oh my, girls who are smart, sweet and sexy, well, they are something else.

ok, actually, this is a really poor piece, ideas all over the place and undeveloped, and my mind someplace else, but i shan't be so bothered about this and just get it out there anyhow.

and so now, it's back to STARCRAFT II, and my trusty seige tanks (YES SIR!).
