Just curious as to how my inner and outer self appear to everyone on Greekchat. I am always interested in other people's perceptions of me. I am not trying to be concieted, but rather I think I am still struggling with issues of trying to find out who I am.

One of my friends told me the other day that in the 4 years she has known me I have never talked bad about anyone and she thought that was awesome. Its nothing new to me, its almost natural. As a grade schooler with glasses and braces, I was what you would call a "dork," I guess. Things have changed, but since then I always try and look for the inner beauty in people. And I think inner beauty reflects in outer beauty, not so much beauty in terms of Hollywood standards, but I think inner beauty instills a radiance or a glow about people.

On the other hand, in relationships, I am first drawn to outer beauty, much of which is defined by media. I like guys with gorgeous blue eyes, nice athletic bodies and a preppy/kickback style. On the same token, outer beauty only takes a guy so far.

About the movie - Shallow Hal -I think it had a good premise but fell short of my expectations. There were to many wisecracks about beauty that weren't very wise. The ending was too easy. But seeing Jason Alexander wag his tail was all worth it!

Thats my take, well an abbreviated take, on beauty - both inner and out.
