Yesterday on the way to the gym I was walking across the pedestrian bridge when I saw a girl leaning out of her window. She was pretty, azn (probably chinese), had simple long hair, and was wearing a semi-transparent white tank top over a tiny black bra. Not that I noticed all this in passing. I also didn't notice her head tilted slightly as she leaned her chin in her hand...only to pull it away and blow out the smoke from her cigarette.

Well that spoiled that I thought.

But then I thought about how bizarre it was to "reject" someone I was not going to talk to, that I'm decades old and probably decades older than the cute girl (my gut sees "pretty girl," but the fact she was probably between 15-19 didn't sink in until much later), that I'd be annoyed with her 5 words in any direction, and wondered if liking then disliking someone based on their appearance...but then I stopped caring.

Then I thought it might make a neat lj post.

In a similar vein I recently sent a YouTube link of the opening scene of The Hunger to someone who wasn't alive at the time hadn't seen it, and I was shocked by all the smoking. Took the sexy right out of it.

Yeah I've had this A LOT with my old history. I wonder how I ever put up with it in the first place?

My excuse is that I smoked at the time.

heh...probably just your brain enjoying toying with the idea of the
remote possibility of meeting her and then zap...the cigarette ruins
the fantasy. At least, I've had a few unrequited crushes get squished
when I realized the crushee didn't fit my fantasies (chewing tobacco
for one, and not thinking he could attend church services led by a
female pastor for another).

Mmm...spittle and misogyny. Gets me just about as hot! Other times I'm happy for the excuse to shut down the silly daydream.

Yeah, ewwww, smoking's gross. Total boner-killer.
