05/24/2002 entry: "big hit to weblogs..."

I got this off a Bikini Kill website, not a weblog, and I think it's extremely.. neat. It's enlightening and I've never thought about it before.

"My sister used to say that I'd marry the first person I fell in love with (which didn't turn out to be true) but her words rang true in that every person, I don't care who, is so beautiful once you get past their defenses and media-induced posturing (if any) that you can't help but love them, I mean once you sit down and talk about hopes and dreams, make that contact, well life could end right there and I'd be happy."

Yes! I think I feel the same way. The only time I don't like people is when they do things to me or things to other people that hurt, because I know they wouldn't want me doing it to them. I guess I'm not completely in that idea that guy just talked about, but I'm semi there. But every person that I've really really talked to, without any kind of pretenses or fake happiness and shit, is someone that I still value. Unless they hurt me, but it's not that I don't value them, it's that they hurt me and I'm trying to protect myself. So yeah. I mean, just look at how the internet supports that. You can meet people and totally be yourself (or totally not be yourself... another issue) and everyone can be wonderful.

Okay, anyhow. I have to finish breakfast and get ready for class. blech.
