No worries.<\/p>\n<p>Why would I be up there at 1 AM anyway? As I told Greg, Think of it as the result of many personal embarrassments. Lessons learned!<\/p>\n<p>I only had one real poignant thought yesterday (you may think otherwise).<\/p>\n<p>I was waiting for the BART at Downtown Berkeley and a random female student comes by and sits on the other end of the same bench. I give her a glance, she&#8217;s of average cuteness. Honestly, just another one of the mess of Asian girls that seem to populate the student body. Nothing amazing in either end of the spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>I also then realize she&#8217;s carrying a pair of boots. Like, in her hands. She&#8217;s already wearing sneakers but she has boots also for whatever reason. I&#8217;m wondering if she&#8217;s bringing them back to the city or something to return them?<\/p>\n<p>Then all of a sudden she starts to take off her sneakers and put on the boots.<\/p>\n<p>And then I figured it out.<\/p>\n<p>She suddenly becomes so much more attractive in my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>But all she did was put on a pair of boots, right?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I do enjoy boots on girls, but I guess I had never seen one switch from sneakers to boots like that.<\/p>\n<p>How can a girl of relatively low interest suddenly become that much more attractive? I mean, I&#8217;m aware that makeup and fashion exist for a reason, but I had never been there for the actual transformation.<\/p>\n<p>It was a little mind blowing to say the least. I had always thought I was better than that. But I guess, this brought me back to reality. I was just affected by all these games as everyone else had been. Was it really that simple for someone to become that much more attractive, if only physically? It was a little scary also.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing else changed about her, but now because she was wearing boots all of a sudden I was interested. That&#8217;s all it took? Yikes.<\/p>\n<p>I guess now I&#8217;m asking, can I trust myself? Not really sure anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Word to the wise, don&#8217;t hang out at Twin Peaks late at night.
