Like most people my age, I am frickin'
psyched for the
new Harry Potter movie, coming out tomorrow. In a lot of ways, the films just keep getting better. In one very very specific way,
Emma Watson just keeps getting hotter.
Seriously. I love Emma Watson.
First of all, everyone thinks accents are sexy. There are few accents sexier than the clean, proper British lilt spoken so eloquently by Hermione Granger. Second, most people are into power--and Emma Watson certainly has it. Wherever she goes to college (despite contradicting rumors, she still has not decided on a school), she will be number one on every guy's list, from the uber-geeks to the frat stars to the stoners and to everyone in between.
I, however, made the mistake of watching
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets last night. And, holy hell: this girl is young.
Is there such thing as too young?
As a senior in college this past year, I vowed not to hook up with anyone born in 90s. While the vow was broken frequently, I nevertheless had a good deal of shame after any encounter with someone born in a whole different decade from me. There are major generation gaps between myself and someone born in the 90s: I was raised on
Fraggle Rock and Nickelodeon's Lunchbox, they were raised on Teletubbies.
David the Gnome,
Dinosaurs,
Clarissa Explains it All: if anyone born after 1990 watched these shows it was probably on their big sibling's VHS or Beta recordings.
Something about hooking up with someone with that big of a generational divide made me uncomfortable. Maybe it's the probability of having nothing to gain after the hook up, that there's no hope for a relationship with so little in common. I know that a lot of people have wonderful relationships with people both younger and older (a lot of our parents have major age differences), but for me I just don't see it.
Then again, I like older girls.
I ask you, Mancoucheteers:
How young is "too young?" Or is there no such thing?
