Human Relations

I went to Epic today.

-shock- Not really. Anyways, there's been a lot about 'sex' lately. We had human relations day last Tuesday. We (none of my usual circle of friends) went to Scotch. The day was pretty much games and discussions about relationships and sex.. We were paired up with random guys and did roleplays with a teenager asking their parent for permission to go to a party. The most interesting part was when we wrote down questions for the guys to answer, and vice versa.

I realized that us girls like to think that we only look at personality and are more emotionally motivated, rather than physically. But I think if we were really honest, we would admit that looks do matter. We are very shallow, as much as we'd like to think otherwise. Notice how I saw 'we'. I include myself in it. I really do hate how shallow I am. Looks aren't everything.

So at Epic today, Josiah talked about pornography. Did you know there's such a thing as social pornography? Watching, comparing, gossiping, obsessing over things like facebook status' can be called social pornography. People get the same high out of it, and it's addictive. It also reates a false sense of reality. That's me, I guess. Recently, I've been wasting so much time comparing myself to all these 'facebook' lives. I don't even know why I do it. All it leaves is this ridiculous sense of discontentment.

I need to stop.
