Help me understand this please!
I am a professional single female with a post graduate degree and a healthy income. I have friends and family and normal interests. I enjoy television, plays, and literature but am not consumed with the characters within them. I have admired the physical beauty of many male celebrities but never to the extent that they occupy my thoughts while I work, while I eat, while I visit friends and while I sleep. But all of that has changed now...
Gabriel Byrne?.Gabriel Byrne? Gabriel Byrne?.What in the world have you done to me?
I can only surmise that the producers of the show have developed some sort of secret pheromone hypnosis beam that they shoot right out of his eyes, through my television screen into my living room. How else can it be explained? Gabriel Byrne is handsome, of course, he has always been so. But, I could list 20 men that are younger, with bigger biceps, less wrinkles, more chiseled jaws etc. and NONE of them can make my heart stop beating just by the way they whisper the word ?IF?. (See Laura week 8). When I am watching the show, which is pretty much whenever I am at home, I often stop breathing when he speaks. I don?t mean to, but my breath just stops. I replay episodes over and over again, I can recite Laura Week 6 word for word, ?I?m really glad that you called?, ?Losing you is a big deal?, ?It's because when I wash the dishes the soap gets under my ring and? ???.long agonizing pause,??.irritates the skin?.
My obsession is full tilt at this point. I surf the net every day to find out what show he might appear on this week. I am renting and buying his movies as fast as I can get them, I would buy his book or his audiobook but I am afraid that reading or, god help me, hearing him describe his inner most thoughts, childhood memories and experiences in that melodic, soft, lilting voice would just put me completely round the bend. I am dreading the end of the series next week but hoping I can snap out of this trance once it?s over.
Anyway, I?m interested to know exactly what?s he got that other men don?t have? It's some very powerful mojo whatever it is. Obviously most of it is Byrne himself. His face is not only beautiful but its kind, its compassionate, his intelligence shines out of his eyes and he is a brilliant actor. But I think part of it is Paul Westin too. This character is what women all over the world secretly want and never get; a kind, verbal, soft spoken, strong, caring, listening, beautiful man with a eyes that can see right into your soul, a vulnerability that breaks your heart and expressive hands that could?.brush your hair back over your ears?or etc etc etc.
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a might GOOD man.

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
Not that anyone here is obsessed . . . NAHHHHHH . . .

I know. I'm getting more bizarre by the day. Since it's Friday and we're all bursting forth in song, let me propose a Mojo anthem:
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I want to hold you so much
At long last lust has arrived
I can't tell if I am alive
You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off of you
... (CHORUS)
I love you Gabe-y
And if it's quite all right
I want you Gabe-y
I'll watch IT all night ...
(Okay, so I had a splash of wine with lunch. It's the beam, I tell you. The beam. Have a good weekend compadres)

Actually that was in my dream about GB last night, though I wasn't the one getting spanked.

Girl you better not cancel. Remember what Paul said about his teacher when he was 14. We don't want to have any regrets. You better not pass it up.

What if his hypnotic pheromone mojo beam is too powerful in face to face situation? I mean I hadnt really thought about it in this light but...
If this beam causes me to burn food, stop breathing, forget friends, run red lights and starve my pets now and its power is greatly reduced by traveling over the miles via satellites and wires..
What the hell is this mojo going to be like coming straight out of his eye?
I cant take it. I'm not going. I'm cancelling the trip. Really, girls this is freakin me out.

Maybe I should go to hell, but I'm doin' well,
teacher needs to see me after school.
Only in my dreams would he need to see me after school. I have been a naughty girl.
I've never had any teachers even look half that good.

Everytime I play this song, I think of GB, one of my favorite songs from The Police.
Yong teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
The girls an open page
Bookmarking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age.
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

I'm singing along and playing air guitar.
I've read that piece before about his teaching days. Can this man be anymore endearing?

I've seen this quote below in several places. Its from an interview that Gabriel Bryne did at some point, and it was quoted again in Cawfee Talk thread.
"I was teaching gorgeous 17-year-old girls in miniskirts when I was 22. I'd say, 'Did you translate that passage last night?' They'd say, 'No.' I'd say, 'That's OK, you don't have to.' They specialised in finding my weak points. On my birthday, they said, 'We got you a shirt and tie.' I said, 'Thanks, I'll put it on later.' They said, 'No, we want you to put it on now.' So I took off my jacket and undervest. Then the headmistress walked in. I was standing there with no top on. They were ruthless, those girls." - Byrne on his days as a teacher to Neon, May 1998
Everytime I read that quote, I cant help but think what it must have been like to be one of those 17 year old girls being taught by a 22 year old Gabriel Bryne...and having him remove his shirt in class...
Hey MS where are you, can you sing it with me???...
"I've got it bad,... got it bad...got it bad......
I'm hot for teacher"

100% Licker in private, Mojo in public.
I would never behave this way in public. OMG, I was serious in my previous posts, I doubt I would be able to utter an intelligible word to him. I will probably just nod and smile and hopefully remain on my feet. You guys can do the talking.
P.S. You can't throw the underwear if you aren't wearing any ![]:)](http://boards.hbo.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif)
