I mean, I remember thinking, when I was young, that if I just dated an older guy--like 24, 25--he'd be so much more mature than my fellow 18-year-olds. It was so appalling to learn how wrong that thinking was. Now I'm old and I just have given up hope. Now if any of them shows remotest intelligence, I have to work on not looking completely flabbergasted. Which never works because I'm a horrible actress. *wicked grin* It IS fun.

Boys don't. Even big, grown up boys. 40, 50,60 year old boys. But yeah, ain't it fun when the young and innocent get all outraged? Hey, men do outgrow this flaw. Boys don’t.

I've tried to block her from my mind. My student worker is hippy-dippy. She was talking about her sociology class--gender issues, et al, and how modern young men behave. She was totally flabbergasted that men would actually categorize women as either someone to marry or someone to screw. After I showed a decided lack of surprise or outrage at this news, she asked me when men would outgrown this obvious flaw. I laughed at her until she left the room in a huff. She means well. Bless her. She might have been. I’ve tried to block her from my mind.

But I kept getting dinged for not having very good GOALS for myself. And finally the teacher was all, "Well, if that's what you want. Just remember to do this again later when you have more time to reflect." And it wasn't like goals for writing. It was goals for life. "Where do you see yourself 5/10/20 years from now?" Clearly saying something like, "I see myself STILL working here, getting cost-of-living-raises and wondering if I will even endeavor to write something that isn't totally bizarre." I was THAT student. You know, the student that makes you regret you went into teaching. And it was a class about SPARKING CREATIVITY!
