Those pants make your ass look HOT.

Tibby was talking about some stranger who sniffed her and complimented her in a creepy way. From that acorn, the mighty oak that is this LJ entry has grown.

I love to smell girls. When they walk by and that delicious stream of air wafts by... it's wonderful. This assumes, of course, this is a pleasant smelling girl. Most girls, I've found, are either nice smelling or neutral. I have come across very few BAD smelling women in my time. Over-perfumed is the worst offender, I think, followed by perfumes that I just don't care for.

I've also taken to complimenting girls that I don't know. For instance, I told the door girl at Second City that I liked her hair (she had it up in those mouse-ear buns that I like so much). I told the ticket-taker at the movie theater that I thought her glasses were sexy. On New Year's eve, I told this tall dark-haired girl in a white suit that she was striking (I actually interrupted her conversation to tell her). Each time it was met with either an eager "THANKS!" or a bashful grin. I make an effort (and this will surprise many of you, especially magdalene1 who seems to think that I'm always pervy) to be NOT creepy. Usually I tell them just before I walk away, so they don't think that I'm saying it to get into their pants. Not that I'd turn their pants down, but it's really not about that. I just feel good that I'm making someone else feel good. I also try to compliment people who aren't the type that normally get random compliments, and I try to compliment them on something different.

I think my New Year Resolution should be to do this more often. It's a situation where no one gets hurt. There are limited times where you can do it, though. It's hard to do it on the train, since you inevitably have to ride with them for a while (or risk them sitting there wondering about you). Same for a grocery store or something. And you have to be careful on complimenting your female friends the most, as they are most prone to take it the wrong way (and I've certainly had my share of women who I have gone toooooo far with, so I'm not blameless here).

My point? I'm creepy. But if I'm complimenting you, I do mean it. And if I go overboard, I'm sorry.

Bush in 30 Seconds

My liberal-minded friends, those who are anti-Bush like myself, may like to view some of these ads. MoveOn.org, a liberal website that wants Bush out of office more than anything, asked people to submit 30-second commercials to convince people not to vote for Bush. The top 15 are now online at http://www.bushin30seconds.org. Some are pretty well done.

My conservative-minded friends probably won't find much there that intrigues them. Consider yourself warned and all.

Oh my God.

Is anyone watching Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown? ( cut for minor spoilers )
