  • Vanity vs. Insecurity

    I love typing on my laptop. The feel of my laptop keyboard is so much more different than a computer keyboard, and I like the delicate clicking sound of my fingers hitting the keyboard.

    Anyways, I was going to my math class one day, and as I was walking through the hall, I saw a girl walk down the opposite direction, stop at a mirror and start fixing her hair, tossing it around to make sure it looked good. She was one of THOSE girls - the stereotypical blonde who wore too much makeup and wore fugly-patterned forever21 dresses to pass out drunk at parties, and the face that she stopped at a mirror to check herself made me roll my eyes - it's such a typically vain thing to do. Then I realized that Erik Castro does it all the time - every chance he gets, he stops at his reflection to tousle his hair a bit to make sure it looked good. Only he is as far from vain as you could get - he only does it because he always thinks that his hair is ugly (which it almost never is). I guess those are the two reasons that people do that - either because you're vain or insecure. It's funny how the two traits are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Or maybe it's just vanity covering up insecurity.
