Do you remember Guy Who I Used to Hate a Lot? In first year uni, I used to bitch incessantly about this guy. Like, "I wish he would fall into a vat of toxic shit and drown in it." Like a burning hatred comparable to a really bad case of vaginal thrush.
I'm with his girlfriend, N, in my FCP tute and she might very well be the sweetest girl in the entire world. This makes me doubt my prior judgement about Toxic Shit Guy because how can someone so wonderful be with someone so toxic and shitty? It occurred to me that I kind of have forgotten why I hate Toxic Shit Guy so much. Is it because he's so blonde and fair that he is mildly albino looking and therefore inherently evil? This logic does not sit well with me because I am very attracted to Paul Bettany who is arguably the closest one can be to albino without actually being albino.
Toxic Shit Guy has actually been very nice to me in the past. He has struck up conversation (and by "conversation," I mean a friendly nod and a word or two in my direction) with me in the past in a friendly manner. A+ on that front considering how prickly my demeanour used to be (that's not to say my demeanour is no longer prickly now but I truly look back and cringe at how I used to behave. That's saying a lot). I still hated him.
It is likely because he was a Big Fish in a Big Pond. He knew everything, answered every question, was the tutor's favourite, was the world's favourite. If I had a dog, he would probably be my dog's favourite. But I must regroup now and reassess my feelings. I am beginning to suspect he is a good guy after all.
