Do you want to know what I find endlessly funny/peculiar?
Couples who look like brother and sister. Really though.
Last night I went out to dinner with some friends from DuPage CYT. I went to specifically see some of the girls, but there one girl I didn't know and she was with a boy who I also did not know... I wasn't introduced to them, but they looked (no lie) like twins. [To this moment I'm hoping for some parent trap craziness to happen where they find out they were separated at birth. However if they tried to switch places for the summer and no one noticed, like in the movie, DCFS should be called. haha.]
Anyhow, we went to starbucks after dinner and there I am. Minding my own business. La deee daa. Nothing special. When they start holding hands! What kind of weirdo family is this?
Turns out. They're in a relationship, and they are not related after all. My bad!
What must be going on in your subconscious to make you date someone that looks like you?
I have narrowed this down to two viable possibilities. Either you are:
A) Secretly (or not secretly?) very vain, and you are just attracted to yourself.
or
B) Victim to a subconscious urge to carry on the recessive genes passed down from your parents.
Please pause while I google for an answer.
....
The best that I can gather, the answer is neither A nor B. The answer is both!
I feel like I can skip over the "we all love ourselves secretly" thing. Whatever, you get it, and it's true.
But to get all scientific up in here I'll explain B.
I learned in Biology [and mind you this is the only chapter that stuck] that people with recessive genes [i.e. blonde hair, blue eyes, etc.] are more likely to be attracted to people who share that same gene in the attempt to pass it on to carry on said genes. That's why blondes and blue eyes haven't died out yet! Hooray for my eyes!
I also saw some hit of "personality traits are shown in certain facial features", but I don't have anything to back that one up... So I can't really say anything on the topic.
I just think those couples are funny! I hope they stay around forever... May humans forever love themselves. haha.
This weekend was so nice. I had rehersal yesterday [it's going just fine, thank you], then right after rehersal I got to go to the Barlow's!
Now I don't know how well/if you know them. But they are so incredible. They are such a welcoming, encouraging, strong Christian family. I love being there because it really feels like family. It's not just like they all live together and just so happen to share the same DNA... They love eachother, and they care about eachother, and they make the effort to help eachother grow and learn. So patiently. It's a beautiful thing. And I always leave there feeling so spiritually recharged, because you can't help but feel the presence of God when you're around them.
I've been thinking alot about prayer lately. alot. When we use it, how we use it, why we use it... When we abuse it, how we abuse it, why we abuse it.... When we don't use it, why we don't use it, how we could use it... You get the picture. I think sometimes it is a misunderstood and overcomplicated thing. I can feel a post building in me about prayer. But I need the right words before I can write about it. Sometime soon I guess. A brief word on it though. I think sometimes prayer changes us more than it changes God's plan for us. The willingness to rely on God that prayer signifies seems to open our hearts to what He is intending. Does that make sense?
Until then :)
