You sound like a stalker in denial :)
Most of what we see in interview is only part of their personality. Top hollywood stars have gone through interview/cast tryout many times (it's part of their skill) and usually can be personable if they wanted to be. Do we really know what's she really like in real life. Only if you've known them in person will to be able to tell if they truly have a great personality in real life. I'm not saying she could be the worse person to be around, but people do acts differently if they knew they're on the spotlight.

I could have told you that.

Any guy would be lucky to have a girl that intelligent as well as that pretty. :) She is also pretty funny and has a good smile.
Who really knows though. She is a celebrity and who knows if she has a good personality and isn't stuck up.

I have met girls that are just as pretty and just as smart as her with great personalities. :D
But yeah, I never seem to have good timing on any of those things. ;) Meh, whatever...

She is pretty impressive w/o a doubt. I think what Daniel is trying to say is that we become at times too enamoured with Hollywood. A more obvious example is Christopher Reeves. Sure, I felt sorry for the guy but there are a lot of handicapped people that don't have all the nurses and advantages that he had. Not to take away from what happened to him, and I do feel bad in a sense about his death, etc.; but there are a lot of sad stories in the world. Portman is coming into her own acting, I don't think she's always been a great actress. I was surprised that I liked her so much in V for Vendetta after the Star Wars Travesty.

Good grades and graduating at the top of the class are a sign of studying, turning in homework on time, not missing school, and doing some BS extra credit assignment.

I know some guys/girls who graduated with less than a 2.0 GPA that are some of the smartest people I know.

Being the smartest people that YOU know doesn't make up for the fact that when employers ask for their GPA just as a filler question, those people will have to say "TWO-POINT OH".

Them smarts pplz shouldv jugguld deir time proprly n found tiem 2 study while persuing otha interestss.

I agree. When I was in college people who got an A in a class couldn't tell me the most basic element of that class 6 months later, but I who happened to get a C in that class could hold an intelligent conversation about the subject matter several years later (granted I only got a C because it wasn't in my field of expertise and I wasn't expecting the teacher to take a 100 level class that seriously, knowing that most of the students were not history majors). Some people who get A's (not all) know how to study and know how to complain (I have seen several constantly argue after every test to get an extra point or two), and not necessarily know more about the material.

I learned more than most of the people who got a higher GPA than mine. While it is true most businesses use GPA as a filter, I also interned for 40 hours a week while going to school (was an intern for almost 2 years). So my work experience was infinitely better than most of them. I really had no trouble finding a job either. I really don't remember what my GPA was but it was around 2.8 or so. However, my Major GPA was 3.92. If the company who is hiring me to program computers cares if I know who was governor of Louisiana during World War 2 (actual test question from history 102), then they can look at the first, otherwise the second would be smarter.

Pretty much. ;)

Too bad I was one of the ones who floundered around in school. :(
I didn't have a great GPA either, but no matter, things are going to change. :D

I wish I had a SO to help support me emotionally while I plan on going back and doing some other things. :( There are a few girls interested in me, but because of various reasons, I pretty much know things wouldn't work out. There is one that is interested in me, but she is studying in another city and that would be hard to do, but maybe when she comes back after school. (the girl is a freaking genious and would be in the same field as me in the future, plus very musically talented, but of course she is much ahead of me academically <which doesn't bother me, but I am not sure if it would bother her> ) Then there is my boss' daughter (who my boss keeps trying to set me up with), but again she is my boss' daughter. She is really, really smart too, a good heart, and also going into the field that I want to be in, but again, my boss' daughter. :( Then there is the girl I just asked out a little while ago, but she is going through things that I can't do anything about. No matter... this has a purpose, too.

Why is it that every girl that I find that has potential for something longterm and can carry an intelligent conversation has extenuating circumstances that I cannot control that make it difficult to pursue? Sure there are other girls that are great out there, but I won't settle for a girl that I can't easily talk to. Arg, it is so frustrating.

Sorry if I got off topic. Anyways, every single one of these girls is just as pretty as Natalie Portman and just as smart which pisses me off because of the various situations. :brokenheart:

erdos number 7... sheesh.. hardly impressive. Though I suppose for a psychologist, that's not too bad.

LOL ;) Punk :p

Nah, when I decide to leave this job, there may be a chance I will ask my boss about her daughter, but not until then. Anyways, I could never be a jerk to someone I respect, so even if I dated the daughter now, even if things ended, they wouldn't end badly. Plus, I am waiting on my future wife, so no worries about the "banging" part. ;) That being said, I just think it would be a bad idea, even though she is a great girl and any guy would be lucky to date her. Arg.
