Notice a pattern

Just had a nice long chat with Victoria. I haven't seen her in about a week so it was nice. I'm just eating some dinner (couscous and veggies) and am about to watch some American Idol before prepping for my fun lecture in the morning.

I met my new seminar tutor today and I quickly got a crush on him. Nothing serious but he was nervous and rambling and very nice to everyone and really wanted us to be able to explore the topics we were most interested in , and in a way we were comfortable with. When I don't have anyone realistic in mind (when do I ever?) this is what I do. Unfortunately it won't last more than a few days because our sessions with him are only once in a while and there's only three more. Oh, well.

So you like nervous and bumbling Englishmen, must be a big fan of Hugh Grant then?

Celia said...

oh my word, do I like Hugh Grant. It was really watching Love Actually for the third time and with the direcctors commentary that did it.

But there has to be something behind the nervousness - like a confidence and knowledge.

Ack, Hugh Grant is the most ONE dimensional actor in the world. Okay, maybe not the most, but I for one am completely and entirely sick of the old bumbling englishman routine. ICK!

Give me someone who can act any day over Hugh Grant. Phooey!

Ah so the timid, shy boy doesn't turn you on? But your instructor does? Is it because he's in a power position?

I wonder if in my 4 years of teaching any students wanted to jump me? I definately taught a few hotties back in my day. Ah, how much fun that could have been. Too bad I'm such a lamer.

I didn't say anything but him as an actor. I mean he plays the same person in every film. But when he is "himself" in the commentary part of love actually I adored it. it's like you know he's not really that bumbly, it's just something he puts on to seem charming and approachable. It's not something I'd like in a partner, but those kind of guys make you giggle and feel good about yourself. I knew one in highschool. charming, but not boyfriend potential.

Shy boy lacks confidence and intrigue. Tutor, well he's getting a ph.D, which already makes him more hot. But it was more like he's nervous because it's his first day, but even towards the end of the session you could see him getting more comfortable and like he loved what he was talking about it.
I don't think it has to do with power, I've never had ait for an instrcutor before. It's really about the way people lose themselves in their words when they talk.

Sleeping with students is not ever a good idea, and yes, I'm sure some people probably did- want to jump you that is.

Delgar said...

Well if they wanted to jump me they really should have. I mean, I only taught them for one semester, after that it was fair game right?

Ahh, University days gone by, I definately miss the grind of University, and the fun. I needed to have a lot more one night stands and flings. I have no good stories, guess that's what I get for being a non-alcoholic.

Celia said...

I have tons of stories and a complete void of flings and one-night stands. I drink though. I do have sober stories too, however.

And, umm, you don't drink? ever?

Delgar said...

Well I'll occassionally have a drink, but that is incredibly rare. It most likely stems from the fact that my father is an alcoholic, and I've never seen anything good come from alcohol. Besides, I can have loads of fun sober.
