2:30AM, Playing it Cool

You know who the coolest character on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was? Oz. He played it so cool. Xander knew it. Oz never, or rarely, let on what was really going on inside that little red head of his, and you can bet that most of what he did let out was monosyllabic and noncommital. So that means that when he did let loose, it made you really take notice, and no matter what he did/said it was automatically incredibly intense, insightful, and undoubtedly cool. No wonder he got the girl. Well, he got the girl until the werewolf thing kinda took over and then she became a lesbian. But what I'm sort of driving at is this: noticing single friends, and how some of them wonder why each new person they meet doesn't measure up, when the real problem is how they're presenting themselves, and how others worry much less if at all about other peoples' opinions, and ultimately are happier, more fulfilled and complete people. The first group seems to garner more attention from the opposite sex, but it ends up being the kind of attention you can do without. The second group.....jury's still out, but at least they look cool in the meantime.

On a semi-related note, tonight I inherited the "single and looking" t-shirt from my girlfriends. Ever see the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? Me neither, but I hear this is something like that.
