Ok, so one thing that drives me absolutely up the wall is this: why is it that the guy only starts to like the girl when she primps herself? They always seem to 'wake up' whenever the girl comes in the rooom wearing a gorgeous dress, has three extra pounds of make-up on her face and so on. It bugs me! Why can't they see that same beauty when they are wearing their usual clothes; when they are being themselves?

I just watched a movie that I think is now one of my favorites...Penelope. Its about a girl who has a pig snout as a nose. Nearly all the guys run away as soon as they see her because they think she is hideous. Then there is one guy who doesn't run. He likes her just the way she is and keeps loving her. He doesn't suddenly realize he loves her when she walks in wearing a gorgeous dress or after the curse is broken; he loves her through everything.

I don't think that you should have to change in any way for your 'true love', for loss of a better way of putting it. I think they will love you just the way you are. They'll love you when you're sick, wearing sweatpants that are too big and too short for you, when your eyes are all puffy and your nose is running faster than the runners from the Olympics. They will love you at your worst and best. They will accept you for exactly you! You, as in, the personal you! Not the appearance you! They will take you for what you like to do, how you act, what you say and so on.

I guess thats why I loved Penelope so much!! I normally think those kinds of movies are cheesy or all the same but this one is different! Watch it! I highly recommend it!!!!!! :)
