ElleGirl has a column where they feature the blogs of girls. And I just sent them a link to this here LJ. Hee. The last girl they featured (well, second to last because I have the May issue) just closed her blog, which after a looksie seems semi-pretensious and wannabe hipster. So yeah, my chances of getting featured? Zero to none. But whatever.

LiveJournal Awards--I have a feeling that this, like superlatives in high school, will leave me with zero. [g] But seriously, looks like fun and I'd sponsor my own, but no one knows me; therefore, it'd be more like "Candice Awards People on Her Friends List".

I remember reading this article online a while ago that said that more women would prefer to be beautiful than intelligent. And I've given thought to it, sometimes. What would you rather be: pretty or smart? I know I'm not brilliant by any stretch, but I am at least smart. And I like that, but at the same time, I would like to be mind-blowingly gorgeous for once.

If the air conditioning is not fixed in another week, I am totally going to be all Claudia from From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler and move into a cushy public place. Unlike Claudia, I don't live in New York and have no cool art museum to run away to, so I'd go to the library. Except I'd probably get kicked out of the library for trespassing, and I'd miss my bed terribly.

Oh my god, that book was so incredible. I still have my old copy of it. I might read it before bed tonight.

Oh, and I'd rather be beautiful. Just to see what it's like.

I loooooved that book. I was actually thinking about it last night! One time in 5th grade for school I made a video adaptation with my dolls, haha. I still have it on tape somewhere.

And I would be intelligent over beautiful ANY day. Yeah, it might be kinda nice to feel beautiful, but after a while you'd just start to worry why people were really paying attention to you. I'd rather get less immediate attention but have people actually be interested in what I have to say than to just have everyone gawk at me. I would feel really uncomfortable and self-conscious even if I knew I were beautiful.

And I think ElleGirl should totally feature your LJ.

You should totally make awards for your friends list. That has nothing to do with my ego needing stroking.

I feel the saame way about the LJ awards. Everything is just a popularity contest... it's rediculous.

Haha. I'd rather be a little of both. But in no way would I want to be stupid. No way. Like, um, whatever! lolz....

I remember that book.
I read it twice.
Good book.

It'd be cool to escape and live in a museum for awhile.
