With Friends Like These...
Last weekend, I attended the Human Rights Congress of our school's Human Rights organization. It was no big deal, really. We, as recently inducted newbies, didn't actually participate in the Congress. We were just the event's organizers. coughslavescough.
Anywho, this barrister, Atty. R, who's also an alumna of our Human Rights Center (and who I've been pining for since we've met him last October), was there. He's just... incredible.
Really, he should be made illegal. If I were a man, I'd have him excommunicated from society. It's just not fair for the rest of the male population. Imagine: he's a lawyer working for an environmental group, he looks like an adult Harry Potter (actually he looks more like Noah Wyle with the glasses). No kidding. And even though I wouldn't go that far, a classmate even said that he's better looking than Noah Wyle. Sigh. Can you just get any better than this guy? He's cute beyond belief, he's intelligent, and he's a Human Rights advocate! [/squee]
Back to the story. In the Congress, Atty. R was constantly with another alumna, Atty. T, who's a very pretty and witty lawyer of a government funded organization concerning peace talks with rebels. I happen to like Atty. T very much.
I was squeeing, and telling a very close friend of mine about the Harry Potter look-alike lawyer, and how I fancy him and such, and how close he was with Atty. T. I told my friend I wouldn't mind if they got together, since I'm very fond of them both.
My friend then said that Atty. T and Atty. R wouldn't go well together since they're both good-looking. She has this theory that good-looking couples will beget rotten-looking children. So she said that if Atty. R cares about evolution at all, he should choose me instead of Atty. T.
Should I be insulted or what?
I think the worst part of this is that my friend is actually serious. She really talks like this all the time! I'm one of her very few friends because I happen to be extraordinarily resilient. She doesn't mean anything by it, really. It's just such a downer after that hormone-induced high... Oh well.
