Outside affecting Inside- and Frenz

after reading jaja's blog, the intelligent text grabbed my attention out of mid-thought, and sent signals to my mind, then fingers, to go to ray's blog. ray's remarkable blog about being "cool".

I have to say i onli agree to a tiny fraction of the outfit theory, bcoz there's a bigger picture behind the cover up costumes. well, the outfits are definitely one of the aspects you must own to join the "cool" or "popular" group. the definition for "popular" is again, different, like the explanation i gave in one of my previous blogs. "popular" or "cool" just means you look and act like the people within the group- always having made-up faces, supposedly nice hair dos (which is not actually usually the case), wearing branded surfware shoes and clothes or converse style; using "oh my god" and "totally" and "like" in every second word of the sentance, nearly alwayz discussing social aspects of life (as the time i spend with these pplz are like this), usually friendly and active, grades aren't particularly attractive, involved in some sport after school times. these are just some shallow observations, as i do not have close-close frenz amongst these people. Well, nearly all of them fit into all the categories mentioned. it's not just about the branded surfware covering the outside, but the inside is also different. oh, and i forgot, back stabbing every second minute is part of it as well. obviously this is the girl side of the "cool" people, but i don't the guy side is far from it.

Basically, friends who hang around each other tend to act like each other- after knowing one another for so long. it's not about "coolness" in that context, but just whether or not u are comfortable with them- do you have common values? can you have a discussion that can flow for 24hrs? do you like each other's company? can you all share (ideas, things) without feeling uneasy?

People tend to go the easy way and just make friends who have similar values to them. i am absolutely sure if you want to be a "cool" person, u can. if you want to be the "nerd" people, u can. if you want to be the "weird" people, u can. As long as you know what you're comfortable with (to make friends with similar values or liking other values and going towards them) and what types of friends to make, then you would NEVER have to feel- "I want to be like dat person".
