350913's blog: "Mos Stef's Stuff"

Yestrerday Matt & I went to the annual Indian Pow-Wow at Smoke Mountain, which was a lot of fun. I grew up in New Mexico, and pretty much every other weekend my parents would take me to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Inside was a museum dedicated to the history of Native Americans (mainly, obviously, in N.M.) but outside there would be awesome food (fry bread! mutton!) gorgeous jewelry sold, especially turqoiuse and best of all- the traditional dances and costumes. I haven't seen them in years, and seeing everything was like a trip back to my childhood, it was awesome. I also ran into my friend Alessio and got to meet his new mysterious girlfriend, so that was fun.

Today I picked up a kids meal through a drive thru for dinner (what?) and as the guy was handing me the ketchup I had just asked for, he said "You have a really cute voice, by the way." A little compliment, but I get so few of them and I'm so insecure it still made my day :) Also, anybody that's heard me knows that I have a pretty high pitched, young sounding voice that I hate. Another time in a drive through the guy in front of me was on a bike, and kept yelling out "You're beautiful!" I'd smile and shake my head no, and he'd yell "No, really! You're so beautiful!" I guess it's kind of sad those are the only places guys seem to compliment me, but I'll take what I can get. But then I remind yourself- no, you're not pretty. Nobody wants you. Give up hope and stop trying so hard, it's pathetic.
