Dear Diary,
I love my sister dearly, but perhaps I was misleading with my last entry as regards Sister Day. After spending some time with her last night, it may not be her overwhelming beauty that attracts such glances.
Now before, I go on, please take this entry with the sarcasm it is intended. Sis is absolutely beautiful and deserves every look she gets.
But have you ever seen the movie Easter Parade? (Again with the movies...) Well, there's a scene in the beginning of the movie where Fred Astaire is trying to find out if men ever turn around and look at Judy Garland. So he tries something. He steps back and lets her walk on ahead. In a matter of moments, passersby are turning around and watching as they pass her by. He then rejoins her and excitedly announces "That's it. You've got it." She smiles and thanks him, but the audience knows that the passersby were turning and smiling -- almost laughing -- at the fish face she had affected in order to get people to take notice. It was quite ridiculous, and hilarious at the same time. Fred is none the wiser.
Well, last night, I thought that Sis was getting quite a few glances, but they were often due to her antics. She was not alone in such antics, I was also a bit loopy. But it just goes to show that sometimes attention is not because of one's beauty, but because of one's level of "crazy."
Now, having said that, she knows I'm just using her as an example to point out a misconception, however un-misconceived it is in her case... :)
Wonder what tomorrow holds...
