On actual, real supervisors

Well, some of you out there might think, well of course, or what is the issue here? a pleasant, very friendly talk with a very interested professor who exchanges general pleasantries and then goes with you through the proposed structure of your thesis, comments on your problems, raises other problems you might encounter or what you will have to do and how and what concepts to maybe read up on for specific issues ... isn't that just the common definition of 'supervisor'?
But for me this still is a totally new experience after having stumbled into paradise ... So my anticipated meeting went very well, we talked about settling in Berlin, in the grad school, the conference preparations and finally came to the new structure of my dissertation I put together this week and she gave encouragement, agreed with much of it, gave additional suggestions for reading, contested one of the critics I will use but we nicely argued it/him (How to use Walter Benn Michaels without agreeing with him on more than the most general level of his argument). Then she (unfortunately) assured me that given my selection of texts I will have to get into gender debates, especially in connection with 'the exotic' and with the literary market... so one more field I have to open up for myself... and as I have so much trouble with collective identities, I will now start looking a bit in the direction of communitarianism... thus really productive and nice chat...
realization1: on the long run we will have serious difficulties with each other, if she should continue to be that nice, because i will need someone to kick me, as we all know, but then again, I think (and have heard) that she is professional and tough, thus the kicking will be provided, I suppose, as the need arises
realization2: In the course of throwing out my papercup and napkin after a chai to go at the Villa I also threw out my printouts for the meeting ... on which I also had made notes during the same meeting.... how dumb can one be??? Well, as we are assured here constantly - we are distinguished by excellence, which in my case is just in a different field apparently ...
