Crazy Insane or Insane Crazy
In my teaching classes one of the key buzz words is assessment. Assess this. Assess that. Assess yourself. Assess your assessment tools. If you can teach the kids to self assess then you're really doing a good job. Self awareness is a huge deal in education, and in life really. Being able to look at yourself and say, "I'm really good at gardening" for instance. Or "I suck at driving". Knowing one's weaknesses and then, this is the hard part, improving on them. At the very least if you don't improve on them you can learn to work around them. Self awareness. I was talking about several of my ex-girlfriends the other day and one of my coworkers pointed out that all of them sounded kind of crazy. In retrospect I guess that's true. Now comes the hard part. Am I attracted to crazy? It's a weird thing to think about. Attraction feels animalistic. You've got the physical attraction which is initially primitive and instinctive. Then comes the personality attraction which can alter the physical attraction in my opinion. I've seen many a cute girl from afar then I talk to them and they're either a bitch or an airhead or something offputting and all of a sudden, not so hot anymore. The reverse happens too. I've known girls that get more beautiful every day. The more I get to know them and learn about them the more attractive they become, assuming I'm learning pleasant things about them. I'm sure if I learned they ate their own feces it wouldn't make them more attractive. I'm kinda off topic now. I was the topic. Am I attracted to crazy? And is that something I can control or fix? Considering these relationships ended and it was the crazyness that was the catalyst in most cases maybe I'm not doomed. I'm more aware of it now at least. So 1st question for a girl from now on will be "Are you crazy? No? Ok cool. Wanna go out?"
