That really wasn't funny. But you're cute.

I currently have several crushes on several guys across several of my university classes. The main thread that I've found links them all together in my girlish imagination is the fact that they are interested in the same thing as me: writing. One of these blokes in particular is really into books. He mentioned in a class that he is always reading a book at any given time, and when asked to talk about his current fix, launched into a delcious discussion about use of metaphor and how beautifully the writer creates an atmosphere. I felt a bit flustered by this point.

But then, seemingly out of nowhere, he did the unthinkable. He made a joke. And it was not funny.

I love funny guys. In fact, I've been known to date a guy JUST based on his sense of humour. Like Timmy, for example. Okay names have been changed. No-one in today's world is called Timmy unless they're the star of Nickelodeon's 'Fairly Odd Parents.' Timmy wasn't the most delicious-looking grape in the bunch. But his biting wit and belly-wobbling humour made me see him in a whole new light.. Of course, eventually lack of attractiveness becomes an issue. He wanted to kiss me. I just wanted him to tell me another joke.

So this guy in one of my classes. We'll call him Jonas. Partly because I don't want to use his actual name in case at some point in time he reads this. Partly because I don't yet know his name. Jonas cracked a dry one and the spell was broken. Ugh, and grow up, by cracked a dry one I do NOT mean that he passed wind. Despite his dashing good looks, and his ability to speak in English-based terms, his unfunniness was a painful reminder that I can't get the best of everything. I have to make do.

Perhaps, at some point in the imagined future, Jonas and I will have a chance to talk one-on-one and not just in a classroom situation. Maybe he is actually a budding comedian and just felt that making everyone erupt into fits of laughter during a lecture would be inappropriate. Yeah.

So what've we got:
He's hot. As.
He's smart.
He's into reading.
He's well-dressed.
He's a budding comedian with a respect for basic etiquette and class rules.

Now to find out his name!
