waking jonas cannot brain today

where is jonas?

i still haven’t heard anything about me blowing off chapter
i guess that will come sooner or later

jonas?

walked back with roger so i could get my movie back from Coyote’s room,
at the top of the stairs there was a lonely sub plate with rotting ribsteak remains and caked on mashed potatoes. roger grabbed it and put it in his room while i knocked on Coyote’s and jacoby’s door
no one was there so i just grabbed it and left
except for those books he borrowed, i consider myself done with that situation
and about those, i don’t really care
there was slim to nothing about that whole ordeal that was really any good for me

kelli just brought jonas in
he’s become the house baby, and like he minds
the animal is all about cuddling and eating fluffy things
and i suppose it’s more about the unsolicited affection in my case
i think most girls love cats so much because of that

school hasn’t been stellar lately
mostly because my output is slightly lacking
i’m finding so many reasons not to work on things, or even go to class
and i’m even keeping others from going
i used to justify this to myself because i was doing so much outside reading
and lately i haven’t been doing much of that either
i’m still plodding through kafka–i suppose the goings are slow because i don’t have fun and fiery debates about them anymore
and girls just aren’t supposed to argue, because then things just don’t seem to work out

well i was asked a question by someone a while ago, about what i would choose in a potential “mate” if i could only have two of three things: beauty (purely aesthetic), wisdom (intellect, wit, humor,), and goodness (loyalty, morals)

and you had to pick two
(all of these are extremes, and this person is someone you are considering for life)

i talked to a couple people about this and i got interesting answers
and i think they say a lot about men and women…at least, its been clarifying

what would you choose?

In order of importance: probably wisdom, goodness, then beauty. Possibly reversing the wisdom and goodness part… Can’t really decide. But I do have to add that attraction does have to play a role. Otherwise its just pretty much a good friendship. But does excluding one mean that its two out of the three as apparent to the person answering? Or just general consensus of what the three traits mean? Three words to summarize: quirky, beautiful, true. Yup that’s my two and a half cents.

I’m not sure about which order these first 2 go in, but wisdom and goodness are definitely my top 2. I can date an ugly guy, (although all 3 are of course preferable) but I can’t spend much time with stupid people, and who wants to dedicate their life to someone who isn’t as dedicated to them? Why would I torture myself by dating an asshole?

I think splitting it up would be the best way to go about it. Extreme goodness, with middling intelligence and middling beauty. I wonder what middling goodness would be like?

Wisdom and goodness are beauty…so I guess I’d take all three. Empty beauty is pretty damn boring if I do say so myself…and certainly, beauty often knows itself and thus, in my opinion, becomes quite ugly. Eh?

that’s not how you play the game
but i’ll take that answer

now why is it that you place such high priority on goodness?

Well, I guess goodness is really important to me, because I don’t think I could stand getting the fuck kicked out of my emotions every other day. Not that pain isn’t a part of that kind of relationship at some points, but without any goodness, I could see an undue amount of pain suffered on behalf of someone that didn’t appreciate the fact that the pain was suffered on their behalf. And that would just plain suck and not be worth while.

that is understandable
