You must have heard of the viral video created by Invisible Children (IC), a U.S. organization that has launched a one-year campaign (expires December 31, 2012) to eliminate Joseph Kony, the head of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), a rebel group in Northern Uganda…

I’m feeling just a tad bit nugatory…

Very funny feeling this one, as if I just woke up from a long and peaceful sleep realising that the past 16 years of my life was just a dream.

It isn’t a very nice feeling though, because it would mean that everyone isn’t real anymore. And you are just. So. Alone.

I have realised something.

It is completely impossible to fall in love with an ugly person. I cannot, for the life of me, imagine a normal, sane human being falling in love with someone that they, themselves, find so repulsive they want to look away.

It cannot be done.

Why? You should so rightfully ask.

This is because I think it is very mean to label the person you love as ‘ugly’. If fact, if you do love them at all, they should be beautiful. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore, you are only able to have feelings for someone who you deem as beautiful even though to other people they are the ugliest pieces of shit ever.

On a related note, I am going to venture into topic of how a person’s level of attractiveness changes according to their personality and how it interestingly differs from gender to gender.

Say, you have two men whom I’ve never met before who are rather average looking.

I start talking to Tom first and he is a really great guy. He is funny and charming and just lovely to be around. I slowly realise he kinda looks like Adam Sandler now.

I spend more and more time with him and he’s just so amazing I start to fall in love with him. Suddenly…

Whilst falling in love, Mot starts talking to me and he is just so very boring and bland. And he’s a Christian.

And then he starts preaching to me.

And then Tom rejects me because I’m too fat.

And now they’re both hippos.

This is honestly how my POV changes and I progressively judge them. They physical attractiveness varies based on how well they treat me, HA.

So if I see someone at first sight who’s a Johnny Depp and I don’t go near him at all, he will always be a Johnny Depp. However, if I do talk to him and I find out… oh I don’t know, he likes Taylor Swift, he’s a hippo.

It is COMPLETELY different for girls though.

This is Ma, Ri and A. A is very unfortunate to have already looked like a hippo because I judge girls a lot quicker than I judge guys.

Ma and Ri are pretty cute, they’re alright. However, Ri is kind of annoying so Ma and I become best friends and bitch about her. A is very nice to me but that’s quite redundant because she looks like a hippo. I mean, we’re friends and all. But she just looks like a hippo.

Ma is now Jennifer Aniston, very pretty but will not steal your boyfriend.

(If you’re wondering about the gaping hole, it’s because I forgot to resize it in paint. I’m sorry.)

Being a bitch, Ri starts flirting with Tom. This is where it starts to get complicated, because once Ri flirted with Tom, he became Johnny Depp again.

As you can see, Ri isn’t very hot (I don’t think Olivia Munn is hot) but she is slutty enough to steal your boyfriend. Also, her boobs got bigger.

A also tried flirting with him but… you know.

Fortunately, Tom doesn’t think she’s that hot either. Unfortunately, he thinks Ma is the single most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes upon and because you were once quite close to him, (while he was Adam Sandler) he decided to tell you how he fancies her.

And this is all you can see now. She still is as wonderful as she is, she won’t steal your boyfriend. She’s just everything you want to be, hope to be and is trying to be and you can’t stand the sight of her because she reminds you of everything you are not.
