worldly thought
i saw brandi carlile on tv a while ago. she was being interviewed and she said something like "we need strong girls, who aren't worried about being too pretty." i keep going back to that in reguards to priorities and feeling good enough. what ever that means. but anyhow, isn't it wierd how we compensate for things we lack that we feel are a priority? you know, like how sometimes really funny people are ones who never felt like they could get along just by thier looks. and really lame people. well. or people who never really caught on socially become acutely skilled or knowledgable in something random like cooking or mideivel times armor and fighting techniques. so that if there's ever a moment where they feel lacking they can boss you around or pull out a worthless fact. hmm. "aren't worried about being too pretty.." so maybe the take home message is more about not feeling the need to compensate. i dont know.

I am just happy that you saw Brandi Carlile on TV. Did this take place in Belize? That would be very cool. Remember how I met her? That was also cool.
I was subbing at a school last week when all these first grade girls kept putting make-up on, then one said she was only eating yogurt at lunch. I couldn't even believe it. A bunch of the six year olds also had cell phones! I took them away just on principle!
I enjoy your thought process Ashli; and I completely agree with you, there are far too many people out there who are trying to compensate for their lack of whatever and we really need to focus more on our strong points and how to make them stronger rather than wasting our time on trivial things or on the superficial.
