I need to rethink this whole thing
The two guys I've liked most since moving here have been pretty immature. Ok, sure, one of them was like 9 years younger. But this latest one is a few years older than me and he acts like a 3rd grader. Seriously. And I'm not an overly maternal type person so how do I end up with these guys around me? Where's my mature, reserved, brooding man who likes to drink a glass of wine and discuss the poetry of Neruda or the politics of Mandela. Where's my deep thinker? Ok, so maybe I wouldn't be able to keep up with him (it took me a while to think of a politician) but I'd like to think that there's a guy like that out there who might be drawn to me. Then I would be able to move past the hair pulling and constant teasing. I want an OLD (but attractive) art history professor who wears a tweed jacket with the little elbow patches and smokes a pipe.

Does he wear a bow tie?
YES!!! That's the spirit. He'd totally wear a bow tie. And he'd have a cabin in Vermont where he'd go to work on his book which will never get published. And we'd make annual trips to Europe. We'd go to art museums and then sit in cafes making fun of the Eurotrash who are more concerned with fashion and who ignore the actual beauty that surrounds them. Not that I've given this a lot of thought or anything.
Glasses? I always had a soft spot for glasses. Is that weird?
Unfortunately, it does seem like a lot of the time, the really fun guys are stuck in a 3rd grade mindset. But I definitely think there are good ones out there that can, on one hand, discuss weighty religious dogma, but then turn around and watch Dogma on tv and laugh out loud at the part where Silent Bob throws Matt Damon off a train. You should not settle for anything less :)
I have 2 degrees in art history and I never had a professor like that...not even one I was even remotely attracted to! You should hang out at the CofC's art department, you will have much better luck there than at The C! :)
"No ticket."
Ann, you're right. I need to find a good balance. 'Cause we know I'd get bored with someone who can't appreciate the finer points of shows like Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, or The Hills.
There just seems to be a lack of maturity at this institution. Maybe I will start hanging out at CofC instead.
You know how many art professors would love to read this post? I'm telling you, they are not used to cute, young women finding them attractive. Usually, those are the ones making fun of them in class.
Maybe I need to steer clear of professors. I'd like an Indiana Jones type guy. Someone who loves to travel with a great sense of adventure (without all the shooting preferably). Wait, he's a professor too. Ugh.
Um, I should have worked harder at getting myself a Cal Tech geek when I lived in L.A.
Elbow patches? Really?
