can we talk about attraction?

Soooo there's this guy at work, and I highly doubt he'll ever read this blog (so I have no qualms writing about him), but he and I have always kinda sparked. If I had to pick a term for it, I would definitely call it a minor flirtation. He has been gone for a week or so, and we had not talked for even longer until today, so when he finally started a conversation today I was just absolutely blown away because I have never noticed his EYES! This guy isn't exactly cute or suave or super-intelligent, but he's funny and flirtatious, which I'm usually drawn to anyway. But oh my goodness, these eyes just hit me and it all clicked. They're not dreamy--they're super-mischievous, and there is definitely a light to them, almost a twinkle. I don't know if I've ever really noticed any other guys' eyes that I've liked before. Thinking back now, I can remember one pair of blue eyes, but that's about it. On the way home I was trying to decide if there's anything else physical I'm attracted to like this, because normally I crush based on personality; my "type" look-wise would be all over the place. I don't know, but this guy has got some killer eyes. That's about it.

I feel bad for not having a life or opinions interesting enough worth blogging about. In general, today is one of those days when I'm fed up with all males, especially ones that I know. I'm watching The Holiday on TV right now, and even though I've seen it literally dozens of times, I still love seeing it again. Would you consider yourself an Amanda or an Iris? I'm an Iris. And I'm definitely in a major girly movie phase, I watched the Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice the other night with a bowl of cheese dip for dinner. I'm trying not to be overcome with utter disillusionment with everything right now. On the brighter side of life, my contact at the university in Changsha said I should be able to buy my plane ticket in a couple weeks (I can literally feel the prices rising daily!) after she gets my resident permit and official invitation letter. I hope to soon be spending some quality time at the Rep, and that will make me feel better, too, I hope. Things will certainly be different this time around.
