Gee.
Whoever thought guys could be so sensitive and thoughtful and creative and - well, cute? ;D
Hehe joking.
I'm seriously joking.
Well to start from the beginning, I went to the missions meeting ytd.
I'm going on a mission trip to Vietnam this month.
So I went and only Edmund and Marcus + the chers were there.
The guys were the highlight of my evening, really. Guess what book Edmund was reading.,
I didn't even think Ed read, much less read books from the library or even patronized the library.
Edmund, if you ever stumble across this post, I'm sorry if it offends you or Marcus! You guys keep on toying with your PSP all the time it's quite hard for me to picture you guys as anything else but normal guys. o_o
;D
He was reading 'The Definitive Book of Body Language' by Allen Pease.
-Shoot me and string me up by my grinning carcass by the ankle for laughing to the grave.-
I'm dead serious!
It was so funny, and it made my jaw kiss the ground.
I don't ever recall seeing guys read this kind of book (if you exclude the guy who wrote the book for being a guy.) Well there's a first time for everything, but boy, that one was the best first time I've had in quite a while.
It kept a smile on my face the whole night. -contains herself before she spams smileys again-
So we went and made photoframes for the mission trip.
Our current goal is 300. Jesus Christ help us.
If you think the idea of Edmund reading stumps you, wait till I tell you that Marcus and Ed are actually really creative.
Their photoframes (made from foam) made mine look like some amateur work, seriously.
Marcus has really awesome designs. I sort of copped mine off his, so he's still the pioneer in a way. But I got astounded a second time that night, for He was really trying to make me see how much depth my guy friends actually have.
I know in this post I sound like I'm dissing guys, and I make them sound like shallow, one-dimensional idiots. And the revelation that Marcus and Ed are deeper than I thought they were makes me sound evil.
Guys out there, forgive me.
To be truthful with you, to me guys were beings that didn't really care for emotion, or emotion wasn't of a high priority to them, like it is to us girls. I thought they didn't really care for feelings.
They can be pretty dispassionate at times. But a fatal thing I overlooked even though I have guy friends was that they do have feelings no matter what. They did have depth, no matter what because they're human.
(It's okay if this is pretty deep for you because I'm currently having issues, it's okay. It's not you.
You're not the insane one if you don't get what I'm trying to say here. Don't worry. ;))
I think I'm starting to like my brothers in Christ alot for who they are and who I just realized they could be.
;D -smiles-
Ytd's meeting revealed to me that there are sides to Marcus and Edmund that I don't know, and I need to stop taking not just them, but guys in general, by face value.
My two brothers in Christ here cost pretty dearly if you wanna talk about face value, but let's not go into that.
I need to stop being a superficial person and liking people for their looks and judging them by their looks too.
I'm working on it. ;D
So my darling guy friends (yes if you're a guy and you're reading this and you've ever seen me cry you're one of them) I'm sorry about having been so narrow minded about guys. I'm working on it. Working on it! I still love you all as much though, maybe more.
I haven't been leaving quotes for quite a while now.
I'm trying to find one on love at quotegarden.com, but it's like a gazillion pages long. Sheesh i got some really good ones.
