Monday - Relativity
Jun. 13th, 2005 11:16 amToday, sitting at the red light, I glanced around at the drivers in the cars around me and made the delightful discovery that every last one of them was ugly. Hideous. Bad skin, uneven features, missing teeth, scraggly hair (and not all on it one their heads)- every conceivable avenue of vile visage was being filled by those around me. Usually, I am next to at least one 20-something blonde with a phone to her ear and pouty lips and perfect hair and a flawless face, but not today. It hurt to look at these people. I reveled in this.
Beauty being a relative thing, this elevated me to supermodel status, at least as far and my own 20-foot radius was concerned.
Now, if only I could find a way to have these people surround me all of the time, I could stay (relatively) beautiful. Whenever someone would see my entourage and yours truly approaching, they would think, "DAMN, that's a whole herd of ugly coming my way! AAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
"But wait - that one in the middle - not too bad. An oasis in a desert of ugly. I'll rest my eyes there, where it doesn't hurt so bad."
If only.
