“Oh – She’s Nice!” – The Most Ineffectual Thing You’ve Ever Thought When You Saw Someone Attractive

September 6, 2011 in Wordsmoker Anthropology

Yeah, that actual phrase went through my mind “OH, SHE’S NICE!”, and it sounded as camp as it reads. I think I was coming back to my desk and I had the BBC News Channel on watching various suits from News International being accused of something close to modern-day witchcraft, and one of the anchor-ladies was talking and I went “OH, SHE’S NICE!” in my head, like a big mary.

We can’t control our thoughts when we’re attracted to someone, whether it be in real life or on the screen – the neurons start firing in different directions like tiny sparkle-dildoes – the next thing you know your mind is saying and imagining the most ridiculous things. Sometimes it’s “nice tits” or “lovely ass”, sometimes your mind goes all camp for some reason, and you find your own voice saying the most Victorian of statements.

Anyway – she was nice. And I can’t be alone in thinking dumb things when confronted by beauty.

Add your own in the comments – it will stop me feeling crazy.
