We had a quest speaker from Guatemala in one of my classes yesterday. He works for a peasant organization working for land reform and labor laws. It was really interesting, and got me thinking. You know, I don't think Americans realize what other countries think of us until we're faced with someone who is telling us. He was asking us questions about what we knew about the current situation in his country, and he just KNEW we'd have no clue.

And of course we didn't. So many of us don't know a thing about politics. We pretend we do and we have opinions that we think MUST be right, but we don't really know, at least not most of us. We don't learn about it or take action because we think it's boring. We have such short attention spans. We pat ourselves on the backs for doing nothing but signing our names to a petition or letter that someone else took the time to write. And it's so priveledged of us, we don't get involved unless our safety or well being is being threatened. I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad or sound superior, because I know i'm guilty of this too. I just wanted to rant.

-----

Today I am thinking about my happiest moments. A sunrise and I still haven't slept yet. Being told that someone is falling for me. Falling asleep next to the person who makes me feel loved and safe. Just hte way another person can make my heart feel is wonderful to me. It's making the gross, gray, misty-rainy day outside ten times better.

Of course, it would be even BETTER if I could just sleep all day.

Questions:
1. What, to you, makes someone sexy?

2. What is the best thing (or are the best things) about boys? girls?

"Imagine a spark
a spark to light your flame
a flame that lights your fire
a fire that keeps you whole"

My answers:
1. They know what they like and aren't afraid to say/do it. They share fantasies and dreams and wishes. They are playful and open. They have a sense of humor...a good one! They are a really good kisser. Full lips. My skin tingles when they touch me. Desire. Brown eyes. They know how to have fun. They know how to be kind.

They are Nick smile

2. Some of these things apply to both sexes, me being a crazy bi girl and all:

Boys - long eyelashes, strong arms, i can have so much fun being playful with them, chests, waists, boys who aren't afraid to say or do things that aren't "masculine", cocks (of course), and gamer boys.

Girls - long legs, breasts!, beautiful soft skin, how goofy and fun girls can be, secrets, sweet kisses, dirty girls, tough girls, wetness, close and loving friendships, empathy, gamer girls.

Cheers,

You know, the more politically based classes I seem to take, the more I realize the country is in a pre-WWI isolationalist frame of mind, and nobody seems to notice. Hrm.

anyhoo.

1) Honesty.
2) boys - their laughs. girls - their natural playful side

1. intelligence, sarcasm, being loud & outspoken, and if they can kick my ass. heh. the first time i met my friend leslie, she told me she thought my band fucking sucked. we've been great friends ever since. oh, and green eyes. green eyes freak me out, but in a very good way.

2. girls: so many things... soft skin, french accents, and of course boobies. biggrin

boys: hm. french accents are cool on everyone!

1. self confidence, wit, and something oddly beautiful... (sometimes its eyes, sometimes its hair, sometimes its shoulders... something spectacular....)

2. boys - typically they don't read too much into things, are loyal, and aren't gossips...
girls - sensitivity, softness (this is not a slam by any means), their perspective (because it can be different than mine)

1. Elegance, grace, kindness, intelligence, class, accepting, confidence.

2. Boys you can play ruffer with. Girls are usually better groomed, soft and you can express yourself more with them.

I'm not exactly convinced that people in other parts of the world know all that much about what's going on elsewhere. The whole thing feels like a bit of a guilt trip, BUT that's no reason to be ignorant, and certainly no reason not to help when/if we can.
* * *

1 - People who read are sexy. Do you know how hard it is to find people who read these days? Smarts are great.

2 - Boys are smelly. I don't like boys. Girls are pretty. Well, the pretty ones are pretty. I like those girls. Girls also have girlie bits that are fun to play with. Whee.

I'm a political science major with a concentration in international politics and I had to long ago give up on feeling bad about not knowing the totality of the world situation...it's just too much. It would be like me asking that guy what he thought about the situation with the indeginous population on Taiwan and what efforts need to be made to bring them more fully into that society.
no need to feel guilty...we just do what we can...they fact that you responded to him at all makes you better than most.

1. beyond their looks (the obvious)...all the normal contradictions that make up a person...shyness, engagedness, strength, weakness, optimism, melancholy. Talent really really turns me on...people who can write or play or SING or are artists...or even just really good speakers or dancers....knowing that about a person is sexy.

2. boys- thier inherent simplicity. not as in stoopid...just...well they are boys.
girls- everything. just everything. I just love girls.
also when reading this answer be advised that I have been without girl contact for a long time....so...but still. I love thier hair and the way they smell and how nervous they make me. that's it.

1. confidence is ALWAYS sexy (altho a touch of shyness can be sexy, too). wit is sexy. talent is sexy. adventurousness is sexy.
2. I like gay boys as far as conversifying (call this a stereotype if you will), but theyre generally funnier, more thoughtful & better read than straight boys (excepting meself, natch)--girls? their depth, their bodies, their smiles, their eyes, their jokes, their stories, their kisses, their memories--ever notice that "their" doesn't look like a real word if you look at it enough?

Americans are dumb and don't care. the end. we might pretend we do, but we're just pretrending and it's alwasy limited. it's not TAHt bad, there are pther countries that are the same way, btu thean adgin, they might not have been until we went over there with our kodak and mcdonalds, and now all they want to do is take pictures and eat cheap cows.
answers:
1. intelligence, compassion and confidence and self-esteem and awareness. Often, not giving a shit abotu what anyone else cares or thinks, expecialy not about how sexy they are.
2. Hm, the best thing abotu boys I guess is their unexplainable desire to build and protect thigns for other people. a boy might not car abotu taking care of a hurt baby kitten or something, but tell them that you need a really good protective house for this kitty, and you're just gonna go buy one at kmart or something, and lot of boys will suddenly care a lot. Also, their oft-seen ability to take excellent care and love of dogs.
The best thing abotu girls is usually the way they move, and the way they carry themselves, and the senses they evoke, usually, their skin is amazing to see and feel, and almost any scent that follows them around is worth sitting there and takign in, like hair on pillows, or clean clothes on dirty sheets. and the way their hair often becomes part of the rest of their bodies they way the connection between their hand s ant heir hair or the way they let it fall because of the angle of their heads....it's liek they are away of where it is and how it can be used to convey somethign that the rest of their bodies aren't aware of or willing to.
-can you tell I like girls alot?
