First Impressions

[geekslave]

It's kind of interesting when you discover things about yourself that you didn't realize. Or, maybe things that you were kind of aware of but didn't realize was such a pattern. I went wedding dress shopping this weekend (separate post later) and it struck me that the two dresses I ended up loving the most were dresses that didn't necessarily wow me

Same reaction for Colin Morgan to be honest, he grew on me over time more than anything else. Perhaps the most noticeable for me is my love for Jared Padalecki - I love him a little bit more every single time that man opens up his mouth. He's one of the few celebrities I would pay just to sit down and have a beer with and hang out with. But when I knew him only through his work I was like "meh."

I have pretty good instincts and gut feelings, for example I was sure I would go to UBC back in high school, but when i got the acceptance there it didn't feel right, and then I got my acceptance at Dal and I knew that is where I should be. And I am usually pretty good at reading people when I first meet them.

So yeah ... random observations to add to your random observations.
I guess I am 50/50 with first impressions?

Love Jared, though I haven't seen a lot of interviews with him, but those I've seen have been great. There are lots of actors I felt the same way about, that I just wanted to hang out with them. I think as big a crush I have on him Colin is one of those people.

I'm like this as well. It's usually because those things (and even the people) that I end up loving in the end are more complex and a bit more hard to get to know than the things(/people) that seem immediately lovable. My bestest friends and people that I've fallen in love with almost never inspired an immediate "wow this is the best person ever" response, but as I got to know them more it turned out that they were immensely interesting and just kept drawing me in more and more.

With shows etc it's the same. Things that I can delve into deeper and deeper get my more enduring love, things that are easier don't get that intensity. :)

Yeah, I think when something or someone is more interesting and layered I tend to form a deeper attachment to.

This is such a great observation and truly a life lesson!

It's definitely something I'm glad I'm more aware of now.

I'm sort of a mixed bag. When it comes to music, if I hear anything enough times, I start to like it simply based on familiarity.

Sometimes I'm like that with music. I get used to songs and even ones I didn't like initially grows on me.
