So the past couple weeks have been crazy. I have had final projects, braces, and loads of other things going on. This is going to be somewhat of a personal post (not directly related to me, just things I've been thinking about). I'll probably have more political posts closer to the election. I could care less about the Republican primaries right now. It's a matter of which evil is lesser. Romney seems the best Republican candidate, but there's no way he could win against the incumbent, in my personal opinion. He's flip-flopped too much. He's moved so far to the right for the primaries that he would have trouble moving back to center for the general election. Not to mention that he must dismiss his greatest accomplishment, health care in the state of Massachussetts, in order to win over his party.
Now, to the blog post. I often come across memes on the internet that have to do with the dreaded friend zone. For those of you that are still in the dark about this concept, consider this scenario. A guy becomes friends with a girl. Guy starts to find Girl physically and personally attractive. Guy asks Girl out, Girl turns him down. She thinks of Guy as a friend, and nothing more. The guy is in what the internet calls "The Friend Zone". Chances are, at this point, Guy and Girl are really good friends too, so he gets to hear about her relationship problems with various jerks. It is a really frustrating situation to be in.
Now, those of you that have read about the friend zone on the internet are thinking, "But you're a female, what would you know about the friend zone?" I would, in fact, know a lot about the friend zone. I have been friend zoned a couple times. And I know why. It is the same reason the nice guy gets friend zoned. I am not necessarily physically attractive, and on top of that, I am a tomboy. I like my comfortable t-shirts and jeans, I don't wear makeup, and I don't act girly. I enjoy video games and sports. Thus, I get seen as "one of the guys". I am not necessarily complaining. I enjoy being one of the guys. In fact, I generally like making friends with guys better than girls. There is so much less drama involved.
This year, however, has changed my perception on a couple of these things. I don't like getting up early to get ready, but I'm thinking I need to change my style a little bit. I want to be seen as a potential girlfriend. I'm really tired of dating jerks and losers. I want to attract someone I actually want to be attracted to me. So, I have a plan. This summer, I am going to undergo somewhat of a makeover. I'm going to get a nicer style. No more baggy t-shirts and jeans. I am going to start wearing my skinny jeans more, and get nicer tops to go with them. I'm not going to wear a ton of makeup, just enough to bring out my features a little more. I'm not copping out. I'm not changing my personality. I'm just making myself approachable.
Also, keep in mind this makeover is for no one in specific, except for me. It is something I want to do for myself, and no one else. By the time August rolls around, I'm gonna look different, and it'll be a good different. I will track my progress through this blog. It'll be somewhat of a daily thing. This feels like the next phase in getting over my Aspergers, and I'm excited to start it.
