what makes a person (un)/attractive? and not necessarily in a sexual way. just in general. for me, i think it's unnatural when a guy has long fingernails. but i love long eyelashes. there's this guy i sit across from in geometry, and he once took off his glasses and asked me if the orange paint on his eyelid had wiped off (he's the artsy sort). and he had the most lovely eyes, framed by the longest black eyelashes i've ever seen. well, at least up close and human. they're the kind i'd be afraid to look into, for fear they'd look right through me. but he has those antsy hands, and often scratches his nails against papers on the table. i think he knows how particular i am by now. i like him a lot, but his head works far too fast for me to keep up. he's brilliant. we'll stick to math.

i don't like girls that make stupid comments about themselves. there's this one girl that is kind of like my in-between-class-i-hate-school ranter (she is in the locker next to mine)and today she said "Ugh, I need to go on a diet, I'm so out of breath!" most likely in reference to the four flights of stairs we climb between our first and third floors. she's quite pretty, and twig-like. i knew what she meant, but still. i like her, though. we commiserate often, and i suppose that redeems her. i'm not sure if she sees me in that way, but i don't really think it matters.
