who's got one? i think i do. i ran into the park a little while ago and jumped up and down for no good reason. i can't help it - it's march and it's sunny and boys in tight pants are cuuuuuuuute.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I do!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 11 March 2004 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

i do.

(xpost)

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 11 March 2004 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

yay!

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Hurrah! I'm just glad it's spring, I'm crushing on the season as a whole!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 11 March 2004 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i wish it was spring here.

i just lost a 2 page email about my crush. i do not have a crush on my email.

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 11 March 2004 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I will probably be crushed by spring.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 11 March 2004 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I crush on spring as well, and the skirts and knee-socks that go with it! Also I have a crush on my fiancee, which is always nice.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 11 March 2004 20:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I miss spring. Does it exist in Chicago?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 11 March 2004 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm wearing a skirt and knee socks, currently, in anticipation of perhaps seeing crush later. woohoo!

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

no goddamn crush for me.

― mandee, Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

spring in chicago is lovely. it's the only time i liked going to navy pier, for some reason.

i love midwestern springs, i'm hoping for nice weather when i'm in michigan in april...

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:03 (twenty-two years ago)

i have one, too! wooooo!

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:07 (twenty-two years ago)

invent one, mandee. it'll probably be better than the real thing would be.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:09 (twenty-two years ago)

i have no crush :( the last girl i crushed on turned out to be creepy/crazy.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Fictional people really are the best kind to crush on.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I have no crush! I am sad. I will find one or make one up before tomorrow comes!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:12 (twenty-two years ago)

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay by no crush I actually mean no crush within the immediately drive-to-able vicinity.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Dammit.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:16 (twenty-two years ago)

With dirty great big bootprints scuffing themselves on the way out of my heart, I am still singing Baxendale's 'Hanging Out With Her' in my head:

Have you noticed how the weather is improving?
and there seems to be something touching everybody
and making them feel... fantastic?
and have you noticed how the sky is looking
so much bigger? ... oh yeah you can just tell something brilliant is about to happen...

I know you've been working hard
and you've got exams and that,
but if you've got some spare time,
it'd be smashing if you could come and stay round mine...
and maybe we could break into our old school
and spend ages just lying on the tennis courts
listening to the Boards of Canada...
Jeez, look at the time!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, my spring crush is also not in the immediate vicinity, making me one disappointed crusher. WHOM WILL I EAT ALL THIS GELATO & SPUMONI WITH?!

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a crush on the girl who works at the record store. God that's so pathetic and sad and indie-boy. She makes me smile though.

― Broheems (diamond), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

okay, now i feel extra miserable.

― mandee, Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, i have a record store crush too. it's pretty minor-league, though, not a big fun giddy passion.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm crushing on the sun being out and it being like 50 F outside and the prospect of a nice mellow country drive with my homebwoy and a doobie and Thelonius Monk live recordings in T-minus 27 minutes and counting.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:33 (twenty-two years ago)

shweet!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:33 (twenty-two years ago)

shut up about spring :-(

― mullygrubber (gaz), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a few. Maybe I'll see some tonight!

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Too nutso to mention. I need some good clubbing to bury my head in.

I have like one serious crush, one minor one which is reciprocated little too much for me (I think, arrogantly I guess), and about 3 non serious ones. The first two know each other and the second one just broke up with a close friend of mine. This level of activity is unusual for me, it's like Roman Abramovich took over my love life.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I have a crush on a record store.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

It's 24 degrees F here.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

the record shops I go to have a bunch of marxists behind the counter and we have 2 hour conversations on music and (yes) politics.

actually more like trading rants.

no crushes. too cold, still.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

threadkilla!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

we were all busy crushing on yr beard!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

So you have to shave it off and share it with everyone.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:44 (twenty-two years ago)

you know how sometimes you read the last post in a thread first?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Should I feel bad that I can't find anyone (within a 5-mile radius) to crush on?

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

"love" can suck it

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:47 (twenty-two years ago)

actually, i lied. i think i have three crushes, locally.

probably more long distance.

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:47 (twenty-two years ago)

a certain female i ride the bus with in the mornings is currently driving me insane w/ crushery

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i'd rather start doing heroin again than fall in love

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

actually my spring crush is garlic mashed potatoes

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)

*corny/twee content below*

earlier today, I saw my wife standing in the other room and I had to catch my breath, I was like holy shit she's hot!

*back to cynicism and despair*

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)

ATTN. LAYDEEZ UNLESS YOU HAVE THE CONSISTENCY AND TASTE OF MUSHY SPICY STARCH I AINT GOT NO TIME

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a nice moment on the bus earlier. There was this gorgeous blonde woman, maybe 15 years younger than me. She noticed me looking at her and as I looked away she smiled at me. I looked back and she smiled again. She wasn't sneering at the middle aged creep, or even laughing, as far as I could tell. We were too far apart for an easy conversation starter, and both wearing headphones, and she got off fairly soon after I got on, but even without those things I don't imagine I would have done anything. Still, a nice moment that will stay with me for a while.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 11 March 2004 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

love, shmove. this all about blind infatuation.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:00 (twenty-two years ago)

hence the potatoes

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll be bored of them in a week and onto the next carbohydrate

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:02 (twenty-two years ago)

crushes on public transportation are utterly classic.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:02 (twenty-two years ago)

No mere human can compete with mashed tubers. Especially if there's lots of butter involved.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:02 (twenty-two years ago)

i guess i still have a crush on the fat faced girl who serves me my coffee, but eh

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I could do with a crush right now.

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

lauren: love without occasional out-of-nowhere infatuation = no love at all. especially in spring.

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:04 (twenty-two years ago)

crushes on public transportation are utterly classic.

to this day i have an unrequieted passion for the #22 tram in prague.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:05 (twenty-two years ago)

-- Ronan (ronan.fitzgerald6NOSPA...), March 11th, 2004 9:35 PM.

I had a period like that. It was great. New ones would come along and I'd add them to my rotation system. Some of them felt threatened by this and would mutter things about being kicked in the teeth.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i have a crush on spring itself, actually. i havent been this relatively happy in about seven months.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

it's the carbs talkin'

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

The Spirits of the Downtrodden!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

He's eating spring?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

it's the tight pants talking. swoon.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:12 (twenty-two years ago)

still wussing around school not asking out my supercrush, despite the ample amount of flirting taking place to soothe any worries that the feelings aren't mutual. i'm such a puss. ill get around to it though, hopefully not too late.

― Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:12 (twenty-two years ago)

it's still too cold in glasgow to really pursue crushes. : /

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Mmmm, Lemon Crush < /fantasising>

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:14 (twenty-two years ago)

you really should get around to it. go on - in the wise words of l'trimm, "GRAB IT!"

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I am worried what 'really pursuing crushes' might entail. Do you mean chasing them down the street?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

i hope that's what he meant.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I fretted over the word pursuing because I know you were prowling the boards.

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Cozen is reminding me of Terence Stamp in The Collector.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I am going to stop prowling now - Strongo Hulkington put me down on the is dance dead thread and I feel I am better than this.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:21 (twenty-two years ago)

have you seen 'la collectionneuse'?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

i like the air of intrigue that verbs such as "pursue" and "prowl" lend to the proceedings.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

It makes us feel like real men.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

It's like the Leopard of Lime Street, n'est ce pas?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

pursuit and prowling should be undertaken with caution if tight pants are involved, though.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

get lauren some tight pants and fast.

― mandee, Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

"crushes on public transportation are utterly classic. "

Especially when you get off the train and see them in the window or vice versa!

― A Nairn (moretap), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:29 (twenty-two years ago)

someone get me the boy in tight pants and fast.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:31 (twenty-two years ago)

b-but tight pants are uncomfortable

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:32 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a nice kind of uncomfortable though - I have some the pockets of which I can barely fit a lighter into.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:33 (twenty-two years ago)

i havent really worn tight pants since college. i guess i just forget what it's like.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm in my doddering old shop teacher with baggy pants phase now.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:34 (twenty-two years ago)

For god's sake, you're not a grown man.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Pockets N. can barely slip a lighter into = 7-8 yr olds clothes surely? You have taken your B&S fetish too far, sir.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm so used to tight pants that anything else has started to seem odd. i kind of feel naked if i'm wearing loose pants anywhere but the gym.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

They were from H&M's grown man section, actually, Jerry. They were in the sale for about a fiver though, because I guess no one else could get into them. It was a Cinderella for our times.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't like tight pants. The boys need room to roam.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Now I'm thinking of Mike Scott wearing tight pants.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

The worst thing rap has to answer for is the popularity of baggy pants.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah this was the reason i stopped wearing briefs

x-post maybe?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I felt old the other day when I saw the new Levis ad for jeans that are all saggy around the bum.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Not that this is a new phenomenon, but I am slow on the uptake.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

why did that make you feel old?

― mandee, Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I think we should start wearing trousers back to front again, Like that kiddy rap group.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to love baggy pants but these days I like pants that fit.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

though I have no idea if mine qualify as "tight."

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

those of us with womanly breeding hips dont look so good in the tight pants anyway. mens pants, anyway.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Honor the Kriss Kross fire, Jerry.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you should go for the assless chaps, Jess.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Each time I buy a new pair of pants they get tighter and tighter (I used to wear huge skater pants). Eventually I'll be wearing them under my skin.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm sure dlr is selling his old ones at this point

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

at least i hope to god he is

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

okay, enough talk about the pants. back to the crushes! go!

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

there should be more kiddie rap groups. like the cheetah girls.

― mandee, Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

It made me feel old because the only responzé the Ponzé could muster was "But they don't fit! They're unflattering and awful! Kids are mad!"

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

jess baggy pants never look good so you might as well show it off.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

s club pi

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

stop talking about jeans. there is a whole thread about that.

talk about crushes! i love crushes!

(xpost)

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:46 (twenty-two years ago)

i refuse to talk about crushes. let's talk about whether balding, paunchy music critics can pull off the baggy pants look. I've decided I can't.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I have more jeans than crushes though.
x-post.

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:48 (twenty-two years ago)

so far no ones said anything to me directly, so i'm just gonna roll with it like steve winwood

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:49 (twenty-two years ago)

cuz you know what the tight can do

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:49 (twenty-two years ago)

can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:50 (twenty-two years ago)

okay so...crushes.
I saw this girl at the store yesterday. She had the most amazing hair and perfectly smooth skin. Plus a bangin' ass that was squeezed into these jeans. I mean these jeans were incredible. They had four pockets and yellow seams. Breathtaking. The fabric looked as if it were spun by enchanted gnomes. I can never find any that look as good on me as they do on her. Where should I look for jeans? I usually get some cheap ones on sale, but you can tell they're cheap. Tell me about your favorite pair of jeans.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:51 (twenty-two years ago)

oops is ginuwine and i claim my $5

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:51 (twenty-two years ago)

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i have earl jeans, mandee, and i'm extremely un-waify. they're much more flattering than one would initially suspect.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:57 (twenty-two years ago)

old navy has jeans for $17.99, therefore old navy it is

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 March 2004 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

really? now it's just a matter of forking over $200 for jeans.

― mandee, Thursday, 11 March 2004 23:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I have one!

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 11 March 2004 23:09 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 11 March 2004 23:42 (twenty-two years ago)

RJG, as the voice of youth, you can confirm that you will not be buying these saggy new Levis?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

you know I won't!!!!!!!!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 11 March 2004 23:49 (twenty-two years ago)

The RJG ass must not be hidden under a saggy bushel.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 March 2004 23:52 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, my thinking was more along the lines of them looking stupid and since I haven't owned a pair of jeans in five years, etc. but you're right.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 12 March 2004 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I have crushes on many ILX women, as has been documented. There are three who I crush on even more now than last time I listed them. One I can't explain why here, the other two are:
- Colette, since I was able to see her clearly for the first time yesterday and she is every bit as beautiful as my previous impressions.
- Teeny, for taking a pic of herself with a 'good luck' message to me before my recent eye surgery.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 12 March 2004 00:12 (twenty-two years ago)

aw, it still is.

N., I concur.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 12 March 2004 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

All the girls I have crushes on appear to have boyfriends? How weak is that?

― ModJ (ModJ), Friday, 12 March 2004 01:32 (twenty-two years ago)

To paraphrase the Teen Girl Squad line, I have crushes on all the girls.

― Bryan B Sure (Bryan), Friday, 12 March 2004 01:34 (twenty-two years ago)

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 12 March 2004 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

now those are some PANTS.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

That's not a man, That's a woman, man!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 12 March 2004 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

the rear is a bit too round and shapely for a fellow, i agree.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to wear tight jeans! People were all, like: "GOOD GOD MAN HOW DO YOU NOT CRUMPLE LIKE SOME KIND OF FREAKISH PAPER INSECT TAKE IT AWAY". It wasn't sexy.

― Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Friday, 12 March 2004 02:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a fleeting crush on the band I'm writing about, the Riverboat Gamblers because they're sweethearts and they have been rocking my socks off during my commute all week.

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Friday, 12 March 2004 02:16 (twenty-two years ago)

(Now I wear them like 10 or twelve inch sizes too big, it is better).

― Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Friday, 12 March 2004 02:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I like this one

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 12 March 2004 02:18 (twenty-two years ago)

i have the same crush i had last spring. all my pants keep breaking. i only have one pair left, the powder blue pinstripe ones. :-(

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Friday, 12 March 2004 05:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you stuffing the Dallas Observer ballot box, Sam? I saw the Gamblers, Slick 57 and Boys Named Sue up for various awards.

I gave up voting after the first couple, since I'd never even heard of any of the new bands.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 12 March 2004 05:51 (twenty-two years ago)

actually its autumn here. i have the same crush i had last autumn, too.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Friday, 12 March 2004 05:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not crushing on anyone unless that person has a crush on me. New policy, instituted as of January 1. Anyone else just gets viewed as a "decent young person" and filed away in the "nuh-uh, ain't no chance at all in this world" filing cabinet.

On the subject of trousers: blue jeans are very, very, very nice. FYI. *shakes a blue jean-clad leg*

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 12 March 2004 06:09 (twenty-two years ago)

wow you can contorl your crushes?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Friday, 12 March 2004 06:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I only crush when drunk. So now I have one.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 12 March 2004 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm pretty sure it's still Sven from Voltron.

― Allyzay, Friday, 12 March 2004 06:32 (twenty-two years ago)

wow you can contorl your crushes?
Well, sweets, I wouldn't consider it "control" so much as "suppress and eventually annihilate". :)

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 12 March 2004 06:39 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, i hesitate greatly before posting so, um, here goes...

this girl who just started working where i work and now i wanna put it to her BUT beyond general 'o woe what if i get rejected * knock knees knock knees *' nonsense (which i really don't worry about too much)(this does not = 'cuz i don't get rejected' btw) and vague 'don't shit where you eat' "policy" whatever there's also:

1) she gotta baby

2) she still has one of her baby teeth (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

so, um, yeah

― nuh uh (James Blount), Friday, 12 March 2004 06:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I am seriously crushing on my gf right now. I hope the number of crushes which is less than the number of jeans she has is one, and it's me.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 12 March 2004 09:21 (twenty-two years ago)

aw, thanks martin! what a nice thing to read as the first thing when i get up. you rock!

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 12 March 2004 09:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Valerie, keyboardist for The Dears - I LOVE YOUR SERENE PULP-Y KEYBOARDING AND FLAUTING VALERIE, HOLLA BACK!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 12 March 2004 10:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark, I was totally crushing on you yesterday.
I bet I will be crushing on you today, too :)

― sgs (sgs), Friday, 12 March 2004 10:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Get a room, you two!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Friday, 12 March 2004 10:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to get the public transit crush all the time, although I've been reading on the tube lately, so I'm missing out on that.

But yeah I've got the spring fever that's for sure...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 12 March 2004 10:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't have IRL crushes any more. I'm married after all.

I have a great big flaming POP STAR CRUSH right now though. Good lord. On a boy young enough to be my child. Yes, literally. As in, born around the same year I lost my virginity. This is frightening me.

However, I'm going to be working with a former massive crush on Sunday. Which is just odd. He's dating one of my friends now, which is good and wonderful and makes him totally uncrushworthy and completely safe and I'm very relieved now because it's a cool friend as well so I'm just happy for them.

― The River Kate (kate), Friday, 12 March 2004 11:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I have about eighteen at the moment. I think a couple of them might even be reciprocated. One of the good things about coming out of a prolonged period of obsessing over one person is that you can go wild like a kid in the hormonal toyshop.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 12 March 2004 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

You murdered her didn't you

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 12 March 2004 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

oh no! apparently i'm extremely unoriginal in the crush department. my crush is crushed on by half of the lower east side, or so i was told last night. boo, hiss.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

FUCK YOU RONAN FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 12 March 2004 13:57 (twenty-two years ago)

That's the most fucks I've had in ages

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 12 March 2004 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

With jokes like that I wonder why????

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 12 March 2004 13:59 (twenty-two years ago)

what am i going to do, ronan? all the girls want dj hell!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I dreamt about her last night. Annd the night before. Things like this make me want to drill a hole in my head to let the demons out. :(

― ModJ (ModJ), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure Hell has loads of hot friends, P Diddy for starters.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

does he actually wear his hair all puffy like on the cover of that mix cd?

― jeremy jordan (cruisy), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Is this the thread where I get to say I'M GOING TO SEE BUSTED TONIGHT, I'M GOING TO SEE BUSTED TONIGHT, OH GOD OH GOD, SQUEEEEEEAAAAAAAALLLL!!!

Heh heh, Anna has no idea what she's let herself in for. ;-)

― The River Kate (kate), Friday, 12 March 2004 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you stuffing the Dallas Observer ballot box, Sam? I saw the Gamblers, Slick 57 and Boys Named Sue up for various awards.

Hmm, I wonder if I"m allowed to vote now that I'm writing for them? I suppose I could use a psuedonym.

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Friday, 12 March 2004 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

bah. yesterday i was so full of bouncy optimism, which has now worn off leaving me with a frown and the knowledge that i'm competing with every shag-haired stripey top-wearing girl in the vicinity. I NEVER LEARN, DO I.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

But you're the only one here and that means you can be Queen of the May.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 12 March 2004 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam,

I'm meeting up with my Dallas friend (and her sister) this weekend who's involved with one of the Gamblers. How well do you know these guys?

Aw, poor Lauren... :(

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 12 March 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a forbidden crush! Those seem to suit me best cuz you can't act on them.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 12 March 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

invovled? i just know mike the singer a bit. (he's friends with my ex.)

I've seen them play a million times. they rocketh.

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

remember when i showed you that picture when the bassist hit his teeth into the mic? that was the last time i saw them, they only played 3 songs before they had to take him to the hospital.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

taboo crushes are great fun and very exciting until something happens and everyone finds out and you both lose friends and become pariahs and gradually start hating each other for mutual life ruin. damn, am i in a good mood or what!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

although i have to say that ned's post made me smile. i await delivery of the may crown.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Lauren, why not develop your own style instead?

(NB NOT a sarky comment)

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

what's the definition of a taboo/forbidden crush?

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Lauren is the Blag Crown not enough??

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

LP: my XGF and her BF might be seeing you on Monday, did you know this?

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:10 (twenty-two years ago)

actually, i don't have a shag haircut nor was i wearing a striped shirt last night although i have a few. i was describing the competition, but perhaps that was unclear. anyway, i'm really trying to keep in mind your indication of non-sarkiness as the in the mood i'm in the question makes me want to throw something through the monitor.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:11 (twenty-two years ago)

don't get angry at barry. tell me about taboo crushes. i suspect at least one of mine is taboo

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

ha, yes g! i did know that. i would like it if you were there, too, but i understand that it might be weird so i won't be offended if you skip the event.
hmm. forgot about the blag crown, which is nice but doesn't keep me warm at night unfortunately.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

http://books.valdosta.edu/arch/images/mayday/quee33-l.jpg

the may queen of 1933 waits for you to take over, lauren!

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a minor crush on a girl in a local rock band. It might be just because I like the band and she looks a little like Tina Fey.

My favorite memories of Boston are the first warm days of spring each year when all of a sudden there were 30,000 breasts competing for my attention. Bring on Spring.

― Mitchell (Mitchell), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

it's not weird for me at all. but i understand why it is for other people, but i can't control that... so it's like oh well.

colette:
it's a work thing... very harmless, I'm just being kinda silly.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

a crown of flowers would definitely make me feel better! great idea. i will stop it with the self-pity now and eat some cheetos.
colette, taboo crushes in my experience usually involve a current or ex partner of a good friend or someone whom a close friend has a huge crush on. although exhilerating, i've never had one end well.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

try a crown of cheetos!

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

ah, that's different than i expected. fair enough. i can imagine work crushes would be difficult. although i work for a charity and it's mostly ladies at the office, so not many chances for crushes at work.

xpost-- ah, lauren, that's much more complicated than the simple 'taken in a very complete way' crush that i have.

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Lauren - must apologise - I was convinced you'd described yourself in the same way you described all the other girls, but looking back it seems you just said "skirt and knee high socks". Even then I wasn't being rude, intentionally at least. Sorry.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:22 (twenty-two years ago)

like i said, i'm damn cranky today and could probably interpret anything as an insult. i have cheetos now, though, so things are looking up and i promise no more snappishness.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Surely there's no shortage of tight-pantsed boys here on the LES though ... can't the crush power be redirected? The spring is young.

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:28 (twenty-two years ago)

although i have to say that ned's post made me smile. i await delivery of the may crown.

:-) Lauren = cool, and I understand being merry one day and down/cranky the next well enough.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

im crushing on my BBQ, i can't wait to use it.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Surely there's no shortage of tight-pantsed boys here on the LES though ... can't the crush power be redirected? The spring is young.

very true, but when there's one particular pair of tight pants that you're interested in, it doesn't matter how many others are out there prancing around.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't really crush any girls i didn't know online before meeting - this feels exceptionally wrong

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

i seem to have reduced my crush from a person to an article of clothing. this makes me think of the dr. seuss short story about the mysterious dancing pants, which appeared every night without a body inside. i'm now imagining a pair of dark rinse levi's superlows doing high kicks down rivington street.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

how disappointing when the effect wears off and it turns out to be Kevin Bacon, or Chevy Chase

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

remember when i showed you that picture when the bassist hit his teeth into the mic? that was the last time i saw them, they only played 3 songs before they had to take him to the hospital.

Yeah, Pat's had to have four surgeries since then and they had to cancel the rest of that tour. :(

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

It's definetely Kevin Bacon, he did a lot of high kicks in Footloose.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I have no crushes.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:47 (twenty-two years ago)

i wouldn't be disappointed if it turned out to be chevy chase. if anything, he'd probably get the raw end of the deal as i'd hold him hostage in my apartment and make him deliver lines from fletch on command.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm crushing on my hair today as it looks BANGIN'

― mandee, Friday, 12 March 2004 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

actually, i just looked in the mirror and it looks vaguely ashton kutcher-esque. so it is not bangin' :(

― mandee, Friday, 12 March 2004 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

DID I MENTION I'M GOING TO SEE BUSTED TONIGHT?!?!? Only one person has seemed even vaguely enthused about this, apart from Anna. And she asked me to buy merch for her! As if! Do I look like I can afford stadium merch? Sigh

I mean, I am competing with 10,000 teenage girls tonight! And their mums! Though honestly. He lusts after plump middle aged women who run through fields of daisies in their knickers. I know this is true, their videos said so. I'm in with a chance! Woo!

― The River Kate (kate), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

all of my crushes tend to be in far off locales with no hope of reciprocation, which suits me fine. (except for the slowly encroaching madnes due to lack of physical contact.) i'm going to shoot for sri lanka or the arctic circle next.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:49 (twenty-two years ago)

i crush on to be crushed

― edis meatloaf, Friday, 12 March 2004 18:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Busted are wank, Kate, and everyone else. You fools. Mwahahahaha!

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:51 (twenty-two years ago)

there there boy

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Marc, if you knew anything about Lauren you would know that she *does* have her own style. Perhaps you missed out on the opportunity of meeting her in London.

Don't worry, Lauren. Mr. Tight Pants can still be yours.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 12 March 2004 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm gonna get way trashed tonight and if I end up making out with a jukebox I'm gonna blame it on this thread.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:02 (twenty-two years ago)

pics pls.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

And Sam/askforjanice has gone up in my estimation today too, for sexual openness, something you'll have guessed that I value.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a slight crush which in no way would ever be reciprocated and the fact that I have this almost crush disturbs me ever so slightly.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:29 (twenty-two years ago)

you're crushing on one of the queer eye guys arent you?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

No Jess, it's you.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

like i said.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Touche.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:38 (twenty-two years ago)

pics pls.

my crush as mentioned upthread is second from left. Saw her play last night and she's perfect basically. I'm starstruck.

thanks for the vote of confidence, mary. perhaps we can strategize over some gelato tomorrow.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

i got one. and it's better than yours. damn right. much better than yours.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 12 March 2004 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

can you teach me? will you have to charge?

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 12 March 2004 23:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I told myself not to get crushes on anyone, since nothing's ever gonna happen anyway, and it's unhealthy etc... but...

I have a crush. on a friend. and i see him every week. argh.

hmmm back to my tim wheeler photos i guess

― dontwantto, Friday, 12 March 2004 23:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yes. Where is this best gelato in NYC located? I must admit I am confused with the *tight pants* mandate though. It conjures visions of court jesters.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 12 March 2004 23:34 (twenty-two years ago)

a) I knew this was Lauren's thread from the title.

b) I haven't read most of these because I've come to it too late

c) for me it's always feast or famish. I'll go months with not a single crush, totally depressed because nobody wants me and even more depressed because there's nobody I want. Then there will be like 10 girls, and 1 may actually work out, to a degree.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Saturday, 13 March 2004 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

the best gelato is at il laboratorio de gelato (HORRIBLE name, but try to get past it) on orchard between delancey and spring. i propose a trek over tomorrow after crawfish.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 13 March 2004 01:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I just lost my book of car wash coupons.

WHO CARES about girls?!?!!??

no, boys are dumb. women are crazy. duh.

i think i am officially OUT of love today. what does that get me?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 13 March 2004 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

2nd place.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Saturday, 13 March 2004 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

a glib air supply reference?

tight pants?

wow, like clockwork.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 13 March 2004 03:00 (twenty-two years ago)

touch the pants, they are life

LET'S TALK ABOUT CRUSHING ON BOYS IN TIGHT PANTS!

thanks for callling me Lauren. Now I have to resort to ILX to get your attention.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Saturday, 13 March 2004 06:11 (twenty-two years ago)

i'd like to reiterate: GIRLS ARE DUMB.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Saturday, 13 March 2004 06:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck tight pants. I think I gained like 15 lbs this winter. Who likes hairy fatties?

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Saturday, 13 March 2004 06:16 (twenty-two years ago)

girls who don't shave their pits/legs = usually a dud unless they're REALLY COOL and don't smell bad (often comes in tandem with not shaving)

― Ian Johnson (orion), Saturday, 13 March 2004 06:19 (twenty-two years ago)

taboo crush = crushes on married boys? I have one or two of them.

I probaly have half a dozen crushes at the moment.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Saturday, 13 March 2004 06:34 (twenty-two years ago)

One or two? I think I mean four.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Saturday, 13 March 2004 06:44 (twenty-two years ago)

i guess i have a crush on the cute girl who was buying the acid mothers temple album the other day. i almost wanted to tell her to get "La Novia" instead cuz it was better, but i think talking to girls at record stores is like.. automatically as bad as hitting on them. it's just implied.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Saturday, 13 March 2004 06:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone needs to make a record store/singles bar. Like how I'll sometimes hear about a laundromat or something that does that. But it would be a record store.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Saturday, 13 March 2004 06:53 (twenty-two years ago)

My spring crush is on this apartment, furnished exactly as such:

if i had a nickel for every girl i've fallen in love with at a record store... i'd at least have enough money to buy more booze.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Saturday, 13 March 2004 06:56 (twenty-two years ago)

i got really really drunk and actually did something about my work crush...but it all went horribly wrong.

the moral of this story is to keep your crushes where they belong, in your head!

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Saturday, 13 March 2004 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

but then the sex is confined to my head, as well

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 13 March 2004 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

believe me, it's better that way!

obviously I speak from an impartial position and am not bitter in any way.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Saturday, 13 March 2004 10:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Thats the worst story moral ever. I recently learned someone I had a crush on had one on me too. Nothing was ever done about it and now its too late because of the horrible tractor accident!

SO: Don't keep crushes to yrself, unless you wish tractor mutilation on them.

i have a crush on this boy who comes into my bar every week. I think he knows this b/c he's progressively mroe flirty with me. But still, no move.

What should I do?

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Saturday, 13 March 2004 11:02 (twenty-two years ago)

he can't 'cross the counter', so it's up to you to make the move. really.

― colette (a2lette), Saturday, 13 March 2004 11:16 (twenty-two years ago)

hmm. . .but he's a former bartender and often steps behind the bar (literally) to get my attention.

call me old-fashioned (or just worn-out) but I like the guys to make the first move.

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Saturday, 13 March 2004 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

The girl I used to get home from school early to watch on CITV is now at my university, in my college, doing my subject in the year below! Mmmgraargh. Also, muh previous main crush was incredibly drunk last night and kept bitchin' to me about how her boyfriend never gives her sexin' any more. I weep.

― Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Saturday, 13 March 2004 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought last night would cure me of my crush. I think it just made it worse. I *know* that teenage boys in actuality smell like goats, and that they have every teenage and pre-teen girl in the country throwing themselves at them. but it's not about wanting to have sex with teenage boys, it's about wanting to recapture that teenage girl part of me that I'm convinced work and relationships and the music industry have destroyed.

But oh no, it's still there! Wheeeeee!!!

― The River Kate (kate), Saturday, 13 March 2004 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

sam, take a cue from alicia:

Well I'm a have to just go ahead and call this boy.
Hello?
Can I speak to...to Michael? Oh, hey how you doin'?
Uh, I feel kinda silly doin this but, uh,
this is the waitress from the coffee house on 39th and Lenox.
You know the one with the braids?
Yeah. Well I see you on Wednesdays all the time.
You come in every Wednesday on your lunch break, I think.
And you always order the special...with the hot chocolate.
My manager be trippin and stuff talkin 'bout we gotta use water, but...
I always use some milk and cream for you, cause...
I think you kinna sweet. (laughs)
Anyway, you always got on some fly blue suit
and your cufflinks is shining all bright.
So what you do?
Oh word?
Yeah that's interestin'...
Look man, I mean, I don't wanna waste your time but...
I know girls don't usually do this,
but I was wonderin' if maybe we could get together
outside the restaurant one day?
You know 'cause I do look a lot different outside my work clothes and...
I mean we could just go across the street to the park, right here...
Wait, hold up, my... my cell phone's breakin' up, hold up...
Can you hear me now?
Yeah. So what day did you say?
Oh yeah. Thursday's perfect, man.

I REALLY need a crush. I keep seeing people, and meeting new people, just to try and crush on them so I can go back to my comfy world of singleloveforlornunrequitedcrush life that I'm used to, but its not working. I just dont fancy anyone.

Its not spring in this part of the world yet. Maybe I need to wait till April.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Sunday, 14 March 2004 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

crushes always come in the bit of your life when you say "No! I don't want another crush right now!"

They always come when I don't want one? What chance does that leave me!

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Sunday, 14 March 2004 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

or maybe a bit like buses

I dunno.. for me, I was really amazed that I went through a period of about 6 months without a crush. and then the next day I developed a new crush.

― jellybean (jellybean), Sunday, 14 March 2004 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

That's the thing - I've been crushless for about 9 months now, and its cool, but I miss the old world. Maybe I've become de-sensitized to crushes, that I don't have crushes on people whom I like. Kinda like not being being in any party that would have me as a member.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Sunday, 14 March 2004 15:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Last night I was quite drunk when we showed up at our usual bar for last call. To my delight, the crushee was there.

I'm afraid I wasn't very subtle, finding any reason to hug on him etc. But before we left I slipped my number into his hand and gave him a kiss.

Now we shall wait and see. . .

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Sunday, 14 March 2004 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

i saw crush last night and the dj at the bar played jawbreaker's "i want you" followed by the soft boys' "i wanna destroy you," which probably means something.

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 14 March 2004 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

except
1) I've given up drinking
2) My crushee knows how to contact me already

keeping my fingers crossed for you

woooh I've totally got a requited crush! I'd forgotten about this girl and then I was walking behind her in the street just now (we've traded glances and smiles before, around glasgow) and she kept on looking over her shoulder, not-so-subtly.

My roommate's mother's cousin was from some Soviet bloc country and my friend's mom managed to visit the family back in the old country sometime in the 80's (I think). They produced grapes and told them "these are grapes". They expected that his mother was part of the downtrodden proletariat and wouldn't even know what grapes looked like.

both 'boogie' and 'snooker' said in a british accent is cute.

The British way to pronounce snooker is correct. I refuse to believe it's pronounced 'snuker'.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 15 March 2004 17:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh don't be silly, it's pronounced "boo"-"ga"-"loo".

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 15 March 2004 17:12 (twenty-one years ago)

like the "boo" in "book"

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 15 March 2004 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know what a boogaloo is - and in truth I care not.

Clearly only one way of pronouncing 'snooker' is viable.

Amanda: I think that you mean 'are cute', not 'is cute'. We use the word 'are' for more than one subject, 'is' for one subject merely.

Unless 'is' refers to the action of speaking, and you meant that the action would not be cute unless the speaker pronounced both words in the British accent - perhaps even in the same sentence?

I may add that I suspect that there is no such thing as 'a British accent'.

I got a call last night (2am) from this (non single) girl I've been seeing and who I've openly admitted lust for. She wanted to come over but I was too tired and nervous. She told me that she wanted to leave her boyfriend for me! In a moment of shining moral character, I told her that it was a bad idea and she was just thinking the grass was greener on the other side of the fence.

In retrospect, I should have invited her over because hse had pot and I probably could have said different things and gotten laid.

My current crush: Emily Haines from Metric.

http://www.ilovemetric.com/images/miller_met1.jpg

I get to meet her next week!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 15 March 2004 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Metric sounds so fucking thin.

― LITTLE LAMB [Jon Williams] (ex machina), Monday, 15 March 2004 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

They're fantastic live. I was standing about 10 feet away from Emily when they played here and she was quite hott.

― Bryan B Sure (Bryan), Monday, 15 March 2004 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Thin as a Brancusi, Williams you poor lamb.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 15 March 2004 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

You are easy won over by tits.

― LITTLE LAMB [Jon Williams] (ex machina), Monday, 15 March 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

you won't convince him, no matter how much of a tit you are.

i got a metric promo a while back. makes garbage seem like high art.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 15 March 2004 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Boogie like "book." Boogaloo like "boo." Case closed.

Also, Mandee is well within her limits to use "like" the way she did. Far from being superfluous, her "like" is actually a condensed way of saying "something like," since she doesn't actually mean "once a decade" definitively.

Metric, as I listen to them now, make a midpoint between Radiohead and the Cardigans, scripted by Morrissey, Emily Dickinson and Camile Paglia and choreographed by Patti Smith, with direction by the woman who did 'Morvern Callar', seem like the most vital place in our imagination of the earth.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 15 March 2004 20:02 (twenty-one years ago)

lynne ramsay.

did you think 'morvern caller' is an awful film, JtN?

I can't put into words how much I love 'ratcatcher'.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 15 March 2004 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

you've tried, I assume.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 15 March 2004 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost, again.

I weren't sure about 'MC' as I watched it, but it has, along with the buk, flourished in muh imagination.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 15 March 2004 20:08 (twenty-one years ago)

metric are more 'not another teen movie' than 'ratcatcher.'

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 15 March 2004 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Update:

Crush called last night and wanted to know if I'd like to have dinner this week. GRIN.

Sadly I was naked in bed with my special friend at the time so couldn't sound as enthused as I felt. I shall call him again though and be more properly enthused.

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Monday, 15 March 2004 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Woo! :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 March 2004 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

That sounds like a scene from emo p0rn.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 15 March 2004 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

???

I mean, was "Pinkerton" being played in bed that night? Otherwise, I don't get your joke, nick.

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 15 March 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I think we were listening to the Stooges, actually.

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Monday, 15 March 2004 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know DB. I think I just wanted to see the words "emo" and "p0rn" right next to each other.

WTF with my brane/heart/soul right now? I can't crush on anyone and my mind doesn't make any sense right now. My current inner monologue is a loop of Otto from the Simpsons saying "here you go - 2 kilos of chinese sky candy" on repeat. I don't know what I need but I really need it.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 15 March 2004 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Monday, 15 March 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I met Lynne Ramsay the other day! She is very small and Scottish and has longish, straight, dyed black hair and smiles a lot. She was very nice.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 15 March 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i didn't even bother trying to watch the metric show when they played here as about 300 people showed up to the 150 person venue, so i just sat at the bar and stupidly drank jagermeister.

― mandee, Monday, 15 March 2004 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a crush on a visitor in town this week, and I suspect vice versa might be the case, but I think she just wants to have fun and drink all week with her female friend, while I'm at work here. She leaves on St. Patrick's Day.

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 15 March 2004 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

that was a good little campfire story, wasn't it?

― mandee, Monday, 15 March 2004 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

erm, xpost with myself.

― mandee, Monday, 15 March 2004 21:17 (twenty-one years ago)

"chinese sky candy" = fireworks ha ha

good luck, sam!
i will see tight pants this week but have to watch out so that i don't get incoherently drunk before night's end. sometimes i mistakenly think i'm involved in the drink olympics.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 15 March 2004 21:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, it's almost St. Patricks Day! We are all totally gonna get laid by our crushes then fall asleep in our own green pools of vomit.

IF I DON'T GET THAT COVER OF MRS. ROBINSON SOON, I AM GOING TO EXPLODE.

Sigh. I love my compleatist freak friends with partners who work in record shops... :-)

theres no such thing as stupidly drinking jaegermeister. drinking jaegermeister is validating in and of itself.

mine is on an Uma Thurman-esque waitress at the Pike Place Brewery, where they have the nachos I love.

I think that my crush ruined it by acting like she just fell turnip truck.

― LITTLE LAMB [Jon Williams] (ex machina), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 01:59 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm trying really hard to wait and call my crush tomorrow night, despite wanting to call him tonight.

I'm just excited he called me the day after I gave him my number. weeee!

Kate, for the love of God you are not old enough for this to happen. Stop wishing yourself into an early grave.

(Using the phrase 'stop wishing yourself into an early grave' is conclusive proof I have turned into my mother however.)

― Anna (Anna), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Sigh. I hate my hair, I am so not crushing on it at the moment. I've only had natural hair for a month and I'm already eyeing the Miss Clairol. I'd been blonde (with only a few intervening years of Goth Shame) for nearly 20 years!

(Christ, I've been dying my hair longer than he's been alive. I don't want to think about that.)

But HSA prefers the dark hair. Grrrr. It's not like he's growing a Bobby G bowlcut for me, tho, why do I have to change my hair colour for him? First paycheck, I'm down to Hair By Fairies and getting the highlights back.

Hrrrmmmmm. Stevem, I think you should grow your hair like that, but then I might have to crush on it again and you'd get jealous. Sigh.

― The River Kate (kate), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I keep setting up guidelines on what kind of dudes I can get crushes on. yesterday I decided I can ONLY crush on guys who work at cellphone kiosks and wear fleece pullovers.

Actually Strongo did mitigate the xpost with a SWEAR WORD so that's bigger and cleverer than those who don't.

I think I'm SUPPOSED to be crushing on people from THE O.C but I can't quite get there yet.

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Eurgh! Then you would be crushing on people whose souls are FROM THE 80S.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, bloke from wrong side of tracks has a line in looking gormless, lawyers son bloke has a line of looking dorky, lawyer guy...

... is probably the best, but he IS an oldie...

Perhaps there will be more male characters later.

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

they are showing the O.C. in England now? hopefully you guys will get THE APPRENTICE soon!

― mandee, Tuesday, 16 March 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

seth from the o.c. is one of my embarrassing jailbait crushes, along with kieran culkin in 'the secret life of altar boys' (before he got old & decrepit in 'igby goes down').

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes it is new to Channel 4, but they aren't half pishing about with the "will gormless bloke from wrong side of tracks stay with the lawyer or not" storyline. I mean yes we KNOW he will so can't we just get on with some decent storylines?

Also Marissa turns out to be on 928347326 valium a day, right?

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

she gets into a bit of trouble with the substances, yes.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

not one of you fuckers gave me any advice so fuck the lot of you

Get drunk and give him/her your phone number.

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 18:23 (twenty-one years ago)

The main guy in the O.C looks like Lance from Neighbours.

I don't want any crushes is my honest answer.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 18:27 (twenty-one years ago)

pinefox, the cultural commentator, is mistaken.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

to the beautiful young lady who never stopped smiling (not to mention putting your foot gently on top of mine) each time we were talking last night: i know you flew 2,000 miles away this morning back to where you live and it will probably be a long time before i ever see you again but hey, i've got a serious crush on you.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 20:10 (twenty-one years ago)

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it depends on the sweater.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i have a crush on the mirror master from animal man

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

but, again, it depends on the sweater

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow, official first day of Spring and I just got my first spring crush! Nellie McKay! Just heard the album for the first time and I'm swooning.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 00:20 (twenty-one years ago)

uh, official first day of Spring is still a few days away.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

woops! misread newspaper. my bad! anyhow, I'm sure I'll still be crushing on her over the weekend.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

haha guess that settles the nellie mckay 'debate' once and for all then!

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 18 March 2004 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

ok I hate admitting to this but I have one, and I can't get her ass out of my mind (the rest of her is very fine too but my oh my).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 18 March 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

1. The dark-haired lass at the station today whose blue 501s and black top, moulded to her fine clear shape, made her seem to step out of 1988. Perhaps I wished she would beckon me back into it.

2. The oriental lass I saw earlier who looked purty enough as it was in her red cardigan but looked all the more alluring when she revealed the delicate and elaborate white blouse underneath it.

These observations are naughtier than I would usually venture; I will throw them out safe in the knowledge that I don't really have a crush on either of them.

― the blissfox, Thursday, 18 March 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I think vases should be oriental, maybe not lasses.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 18 March 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

So what should I have called her?

― the bellefox, Thursday, 18 March 2004 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, you should have.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 18 March 2004 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Suchin Pakin' it! aw, put some back in it.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 18 March 2004 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

The springfox has sprung!

Everything has gone down the dumper.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

But it was a nice way of saying he likes girls in tight sweaters.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Do girls make passes at boys who call them lasses?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Cats like felix like felix.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

That is surely irrelevant?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

N: no, they don't.

Do only cats like Felix like Felix? If so, you too could be a cat, like Felix. You like Felix, don't you Ronan?

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Argh, OK, that has just ruined it for me. I mentioned my crush to my former bassist, and she's all "Oh hee hee, one of my mates is shagging one of Busted" and that just ruined it ALL for me. Grrr. Why does she always DO this?!?!? Why does she have to go and bring pop stars into our lives? Why can't she just leave them on the walls and on records where they belong?

― The River Kate (kate), Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Tied to the walls?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:52 (twenty-one years ago)

the fat faced coffee girl is driving me up the wall

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

so with Lauren getting a bullseye the arc of this thread is complete and the world can be a happy place. outside the snow will melt with our hearts as spring, and yes, new beginnings, will, um, spring.

I have three now.

Awww, my friend Catty just mailed me a bunch of really sweet pictures of him all, like, half naked and stuff, with the date of his last number one written on his chest and stuff, hmmm, half naked boyflesh, so now I feel a lot better.

God, I just feel like I have this annoying ex-wife who keeps popping up and making me feel insecure and insignificant about EVERYTHING, sheesh, even my crushes aren't good enough, argh.

― The River Kate (kate), Friday, 19 March 2004 01:36 (twenty-one years ago)

well Kate, are you gonna share with the class or wot?

Actually, looking at young meng under about 25 makes me feel like some kinda dirty old woman lately. i'll be licking my hanky and wiping their cherubic faces clean next...

how old is that old?

― petra jane (petra jane), Friday, 19 March 2004 10:37 (twenty-one years ago)

old enough to think 25 year olds are that young!

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 19 March 2004 10:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a new one! We're getting married!

at least we agreed this circa 4 in the morning on Thursday

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Drugs are baaad, mmmkay?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

not as bad as having to review that nerd album the day after

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

are you sure it wasn't chad, dressed up, trying to sway your opinion, on the record?

maybe this is why he's never on TV w/ pharrell.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

are you saying me and chad are getting married?

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

how many stars did you give it?

My last sham wife was Andre 3000 in drag. I was such a fool. Even the way he said "come here big boy" didn't alert me.

What did you tell your parents?

(I gave it no stars, we don't do stars, I gave it one erm....."one" out of a possible ten "ones")

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I now have a crush or four.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

last night someone talked me into having a little crush on someone's abs. i have not seen them, just a rumor. so i guess that's like half a crush?

i'm not crushing as much on one of my crushes, so i figure i'll call that half a crush as well.

so it evens out at 3 crushes. woo!

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe I'll have a crush.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 19 March 2004 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

orange or grape?

i took myself off friendster in a fit of contempt, now i sort of regret it

i think i'm on this thread by mistake, i really should be on the 'dear person i saw in the street i love you' thread but that one i too depressing.

i saw a girl with neat glasses, nice tights and an intriguing worried expression on her pretty but not beautiful face reading goethe's elective affinities on the train the other day. she had her feet sort of pointed toward each other in a way that made her seem not too stuck up or anything. i see lots of beautiful girls on the train but this is the first one who has really stuck in my head. i will never see her again.

also i saw this really cute couple in the street kissing today (i was next to them, we were waiting for the cross light) and then the girl laughed in this really cool way, as if she was amused by the idea of kissing or wanting to kiss a guy in the street. i felt like i had observed some sort of wonderful unguarded moment in a young relationship, it was inspiring and made me want to hide under my kitchen sink.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 19 March 2004 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

He'd probably just asked her to go down on him.

""he told me i was beautiful and that i should learn to speak russian
learning russian is a totally great thing to do, crush or no, i'd say go for it

-- !!!! (!!!...), March 15th, 2004."
my supercrush is russian and it makes me want to learn russian SOOOOOO much, but i havent yet built up the guts to ask her out and learning it beforehand just seems creepy to me. instead im reading tolstoy and dostoevsky, hoping that somehow it will tranfer a little bit of russia to me so i might have better chances. wow, i feel so much more pathetic when i type that out than i do when i think it.

Way to be askforsamantha.

I have a crush who is neither highly medicated nor bisexual. I don't think she has a monkey stuffed animal w/a homemade Bowie shirt on either. She also doesn't wrestle at bars to put herself through college. Its promising. I am trying to stay away from crazies now.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Monday, 22 March 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i had a very crush-filled weekend.

i hung out with one of my crushes last night.

and saturday, i heard that apparently i'm sleeping with the guy that i might or might not have a crush on his abs. that's the rumor. sadly, if we are, it must have been really bad, since neither of us remember it...

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 22 March 2004 16:13 (twenty-one years ago)

once i slept with this adorable guy from one of my favorite bands and I don't remember it all. Apparently I called him by someone else's name.

He gives me no end of shit about it to this day.

what are you WTFing?

hanging out with a crush, or having gossip going around that i'm sleeping with my friend?

the hanging out with the crush was more dangerous, but still innocent. nothing happened, it was all friendly.

not much going on in the crush dept. The only ones I can think of recently are one girl who is (a) famous and (b) probably too young for me. In real life, it wasn't a crush so much as an extremely strong chemistry between myself and a woman who is probably about 7-8 years older than me, whom I worked with.

Sam, I'm totally happy your crush thingy seems to be working out.

Still no crushes on my end. I've noticed pretty boys, sure, but I'm waiting for those four magical words before I start feeling anything beyond, "Hm, he's cute." And honestly I'm not really interested in anything at the moment. At the moment, it's all about "me me me".

When I think about me I crush myself.

This is not news.

i can crush myself, but i can't feel myself. i wanna feel myself like tweet.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 04:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Tweet uses drugs to achieve this effect.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 10:36 (twenty-one years ago)

It was in jest!

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 10:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Many a true word etc. etc. ;)

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yes, well he is a ponce.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I was going to say "bald cunt" there.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Why's that, Ronan?

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:42 (twenty-one years ago)

N: after all these years, is that really the best description you can produce of JtN?

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

It is a minor detail in his more general failure.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:31 (twenty-one years ago)

; )

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:33 (twenty-one years ago)

What description?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm running a book on which tweeist is going to throw the first punch. I've stopped taking bets on Barry, mind.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:34 (twenty-one years ago)

there have already been many punches thrown.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

N: "Oh yes, well he is a ponce."

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:37 (twenty-one years ago)

That wasn't really a description. It was just a cheap insult.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:44 (twenty-one years ago)

So what does an expensive one look like?

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:48 (twenty-one years ago)

First I called him a ponce and now I'm calling you a ponce.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:50 (twenty-one years ago)

you're a funny guy, etc.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:50 (twenty-one years ago)

n. has his "knickers" in a "twist".

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't at all. The pinefox is in a bad mood today. See also the Magnetic Fields thread.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think so. I'm a very good judge of character.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Arrogance, too.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm in the crushes-are-whatever mood, at the moment, but I hope it passes.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooh. I'm enjoying being not involved in a tweeist fight for a change (though if Ronan wants to try it, I'm game).

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)

This is not a fight. Is it?

it's funny for many other reasons besides that

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone grabbed my bottom the other day but luckily it was by accident. It was very amusing, for me anyway/I can so imagine Stephin Merritt writing that

This thread is better than this

Ludacris apart of course.

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I think N. is making a last-gasp bid to reclaim his Internet Hardman crown from Baz the Laz.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)

you know something, I reckon N. would do Bazza over. Purely by fighting dirty of course

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I AM NOT AN INTERNET HARDMAN.

Does the pinefox realise the history of the 'ponce' thing? Not that I'm saying it's not due for retirement.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Chris, as someone who has heard Bazza's Doomie Death Fantasy, I wouldn't bet on that.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

nah, he'd be scared of damaging someone in real life

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I would like to hear that story.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:42 (twenty-one years ago)

N: you have still not said anything interesting about JtN.

Shall we wait another 5 years, or stop now?

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:42 (twenty-one years ago)

"Firstly I'd give him a good kicking, straight into the gutter. And when he's down there, I'd smash his face into the kerb..."

This was about ten minutes before Suzy beat him at thumb war, though.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

He said something pretty funny, that'll do

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't understand why I'm supposed to be saying something interesting about JtN!??

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Because I'm worth it?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

You really should be in a L'Oreal commercial.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i am surprised that, when push came to shove, the pinefox was able to choose sides so easily. a decisive, and possibly interesting, manouevre

― gareth (gareth), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

ooh I'm not, he's always been a Nipperist

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Pervert.

Gareth has some dubious ideas about sinister people, I think.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

If the Pinfox is a Nipperist, is the Nipper a foxfurry?

no, just a FoXor

turns out the crush was mutual and he was shocked/terrified when I thrust my number on him. Let's hear it for aggressive girls.

But the crush is over. It's on its way to something more.

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 17:13 (twenty-one years ago)

No, no-one likes YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU didn't you hear me sing?

What does he mean by 'had'?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

and so it was that nobody hooked up with their crush, and the thread remained a shining example of why not.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

It is scary that she looks like an ex-girlfriend. I hate myself.

Ha ha ha, I just noticed something here...

I'm waiting for those four magical words

"Will you marry me?"

Nope. "I'm interested in you." Which technically counts as one contraction and three full words, but... well... you know. I highly doubt someone will ever utter the (quoted) former "four words" to me. :) (Smile put there to say, "Don't worry, not looking for pity here, just stating the truth, please no 'awww's, etc.")

"I'm interested in you."

See, I don't think any boy has said this - not since the extinction of calling cards and gentlemen callers, anyway.

And no offense intended, Dee, but if someone said this (without making clear in other ways what he meant), you would _totally_ misconstrue it as "interested in me as a friend, or a writer, or a subject of his thesis on the intoxicating effect of the internet on Duran Duran fans".

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

here is a question. i got asked to 'coffee' by a friend of a friend yesterday. i am not interested in this person, but in my surprise, instead of responding with 'no i don't think so' i said something along the lines of 'ummm well i'm very busy at the moment but maybe down the road?'

now, if it were me on the opposite end, i'd take that as a polite no, but since i tend to take a loud 'yes' as a polite no, i'm probably not the best judge of what is appropriate in this case.

anyway, now i feel bad because i'm wondering if this person actually thinks i have intentions of doing something 'down the road'! should i assume they understood what i meant or is it my obligation to call them back and say 'listen, you kind of took me by surprise there, sorry for not being totally truthful but i don't think it's a good idea' blah blah blah?

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

don't call back and stammer out a definite refusal! that could lead to so much awkwardness! eeek! the person might not have understood what you meant, but you can address the situation later on should it arise again. i think that attempting to straighten things out now (when nothing has really happened) would make the other feel like shit, and it might make you look kind of conceited no matter how noble your intentions.
(btw aaron, i can't believe that you swore me to secrecy about several things yesterday yet now you're publicly admitting to a crush on lindsay lohan.)

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

mark, probably better to not say anything, unless they pursue you about the coffee. chances are, they'll take it as a polite no.

but, if they do, it's probably easier if you say something to the friend, who can tell the coffee drinker that you're not interested and s/he doesn't have to be embarassed when you tell him/her personally. this has happened to me, and i thought it was much better coming from the mutual friend than the guy i had a crush on.

(xpost, lauren OTM)

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

p.s. i have a crush on this lovely purple marker that i'm going to 'borrow' from the person that i'm hotdesking at their desk.

she's mean, so it's ok.

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 15:27 (twenty-one years ago)

good, that's what i figured. thanks.

Here's where I interrupt Kate's regularly scheduled crush to revisit another from the past. It's a sunny day here and I've just had the following interaction:

BB GLLSP: Oh, hiya!
me: Hey, what's up?
BB GLLSP: Oh, errands - I still like this area a lot, ma girlfriend an' I lived just up the road there for ages.
me: (indicates pub w/couriers outside where they are spliffin' already at 4) yeah, I live over there now. Wait, was yours the place over the post office cos I think my friend's architecture office was there, she did that big house for Gavyn Davies.
BB GLLSP: Who's that?
me: BBC guy who got fired, not Greg Dyke? Gordon Brown's bezzie mate.
BB GLLSP: Gordon Brown's a cunt!
(haha)
BB GLLSP: I could NEVER live over a pub, it'd be pure ruin for me.
me: (nods in agreement) Same. Someone told me y'all are expecting; that right?
BB GLLSP: Yeah, (girlfriend) is having another.
(congrats plus conversation ensues about offices in area used by various friends/ex-Creation)

Oh but I wanted the McQueen jacket he was wearing poss. more than Kate would want the contents. But was looking good!

I have a crush on one of my birthday twins. Not the birthday twin that rents a room in my house and organized my kitchen for me, but the other birthday twin that takes pictures of bands and throws awesome parties and forcefeeds me Very Old Barton whiskey because she thinks I'm funny when I'm whiskey-drunk and whose kitchen floor I mopped that one time.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 18:26 (twenty-one years ago)

but on a beautiful day like today, it's so nice to have a crush or three...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Blimey Colette, your love life is sooo complicated!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:56 (twenty-one years ago)

you're telling me. i've just noticed that i've started biting my nails again...i think it's starting to stress me out a little!

I think you should move to a female-only commune for a few months. Or possibly a nunnery. Or somewhere full of really ugly people (Weston Super Mare should do it). It'll be good for you, like crush detox.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

well, i didn't have any crushes for a long while...i guess it's that crushes are like busses, and all that. ugly people place would be good, but it's enjoyable mostly. it's just when things get particularly complicated that it stresses me out a little. last night was pretty messy.

pp, maybe i should follow your lead and bribe myself with a silk wrap and airbrush! that would be so cool. (actually, maybe i'll just wait till i go back to the states next week, since it's so much cheaper there)

(xpost: starry, what's going on? sounds bad! are you ok?)

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 12:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah I'm just full of cold/flu/cough yuckiness so my "giggling at nothing at all" mood has disappated somewhat. Dissipated. That's more like it.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 12:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Colette - nevah airbrush, always hand painted! It's really THE only rule.

Were you aware that I used to live there, Matt? I don't say that as contrary evidence or anything, obviously.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Aaron, can I date the Lindsay Lohan lookalike-ex, pwetty pwease? I'm waiting til July to declare my crush on the real thing once she's come of age (as I was whining on the springfox thread, I can't seem to meet a pretty girl between the ages of 18-23 to crush on since December).

I just remembered I do have a crush of sorts, however it's yet another age related thing, she being 6 years older. I remeber when I pointed this out to her and she stared at me for a few moments before saying "I would look so dirty if I was dating a 21 year old". This made me sad because I was near convincing myself we had some chemistry going.

So today, I'm doing my usual 25-minute walk back home when she drives past and offers me a lift. We chatted for 10 minutes and I totally suppressed the urge to ask "So, how do you feel about 22 year old guys, then?" She looked stunning. She drove well. And she laughed at my shitty gags. I had completely put her out of my mind after the age conversation (apart from seeing her presenting Miss Malaga on TV a week ago and thinking she looked so attractive) and now she's back in it and she's here to stay...

― Barima (Barima), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 22:13 (twenty-one years ago)

oh. my crush is over just in time for spring.
he is so not interested. but actually hanging out with him and hearing 2nd hand accounts it seems his sensitive, intellectual nature is a contrived gimmick employed only for, well, employment and in mixed company and quickly degrades into his only true pursuits of the next party/drugs/pussy when in unguarded situations (ie. with me who he's obviously not trying to impress). well, at least i'm not frustrated anymore.

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 23:19 (twenty-one years ago)

the Uma-like waitress is saying hi to me when I go in even when she's not actually waiting on me. thus, the crush continues unabated.

Why can't one pursue drugs and pussy and still be sensitive and intellectual?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 12:23 (twenty-one years ago)

well, they can of course. and the pursuit of at least one of those would be required for me to have any chance with them. but it's a pretty standard thing and kind of a lame thing to talk about (especially when done so not sensitively or intellectually). and you don't get crushes on people for doing standard, lame things.

although i wouldn't put too much effort in trying to find the logic in a woman scorned.

boys are dumb.

mandee, you should definitely aim for one of those guys in a brightly-colored polo shirt who has to stand in front of a little wagon cart, glumly operating a remote-controlled gizmo all day long. those fellows need cheering up, and it's probably our duty as consumers.

No way, c. Tracy Nelson?

(That was a "oh wow, that's pretty cool" "no way", not a "I can't believe you just mentioned that" "no way".)

Ha. I'd nearly forgotten about those posts up above! I guess I was at that time pre-emptively self-protective. Well, "at that time" -- heh, I think I'm still at that stage, though maybe just a little less so.

BUT I DO have TWO new celebrity crushes! My compulsion to squeal and gaze into pictures, meet Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy. Boys, I spent ten years on Keyboard Dude From Birmingham and not once did I bother figuring out where he lived or what hotel room he was staying at at any particular time, so you should be in pretty safe hands.

i've been watching the forsyte saga. i have a crush on lee williams, one of the many star-crossed lovers moping around, although it might be the sancerre talking.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 30 July 2004 01:24 (twenty-one years ago)

she's the only reason I watch father dowling. : /

― cºzen (Cozen), Friday, 30 July 2004 10:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I too have a new crush on Nick McCarthy. I was boring everyone around me at t in the park about how cute he looked.

― leigh (leigh), Friday, 30 July 2004 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I need a new crush. The only crush I have right now is on my ex-boyfriend and that's no good at all.

I don't want to get a crush on anyone that I know because that will be super-soul-crushing rebound-crush.

I don't even get that excited looking at Aaron Delays any more. I think there's something wrong. Oh that's right, it's PMS, that's what's wrong. Sorry!

father dowling is blurred in my mind with murder, she wrote. they were always on afternoons when i was home ill from school. those two shows form a feverish mental stew along with the price is right, hart to hart, and the secret life of walter mitty which for some reason was on nearly every day from 1982-1987.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Friday, 30 July 2004 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

did i write about my spring crush? oh i did. i thought it was over then? HAHAHA! well at least it was consumated. and now it's over and i know why.

T/S sabotaging a crush before it can go anywhere with your own self-hate, lack of confidence, and depressive tendencies -or- dealing with the heartbreaking reality of not getting the person you want for real reasons.

i guess i'd take the latter. at least when you try it's a crap shoot. the former fucks you every time and you get the heartbreak anyway. so it's like shitty x100. man, i haven't been very smart about this kinda stuff have i?

WTF!?!?! I have no idea how Nellie McKay fits that description at all. I DO know however that, having watched her perform "The Dog Song" on that douchebag Ryan Seacrest's show, taping it, and watching it again approximately 20 times over the weekend has only amplified my infatuation with this 19 year old (I can't believe she's only 19!!!! wtf!?!?) lady-imp.

DC and Ronan: I slightly disagree.

I used to think, vaguely, that this thread was good - a rumbustious classic, a rambling epic. But on rereading, it's a let-down. Lots of the humour was way off. Few good posters were on form. I, for instance, was bad. I managed to be offensive towards (or, to offend) people I liked, without really intending it. (I also offended one or two hip-hop tossers, for which no remorse needed.) The only performer who I think really did himself justice on this thread, with a certain grace, a sense of style, an ability to rise above things, was - who else but Jerry the Nipper?

― Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Lido, I did not mean you. I think that the people I had in mind are American. I suppose that you have a right to be offended or touched on their behalf, though.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I managed to be offensive towards (or, to offend) people I liked, without really intending it.

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. I think it can often be useful to take this risk in the interests of...progress? After all I do not dislike your good self but don't see any real harm in the odd jibish comment now and then. I believe they call it 'breakin' ya balls' where Lauren comes from.

― Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I suppose it depends you feel they were 'right' to take offence of course, but hopefully you see what I mean. Anyway I am to re-read it all right now. I hope I will not be disappointed after all this hype.

― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 16:47 (twenty-one years ago)

who were/are the hip-hop tossers? i am still not sure. other thoughts:

i enjoyed the 'boogaloo/boogie' argle-bargle. the way Tom Baker pronounces 'boogaloo' is the correct way, everyone please take note

the Nipper was particularly otm here:

Shabaz never fails to entertain

some amusement derived from the supposed offending/ballbreakage of others - in fact the thread really takes off from here in that respect, albeit on a rather inward, juvenile tangent

in all fairness i feel this may be one of my better puerile bait and switches, but perhaps too obvious, obtuse and un-necessary? oh if only there was a way i could be sure.

and this is not offensive, if you think about it

I have a crush on my new hair cut. Even though both Gareth and Carey told me it was too soon for a trim. When I shake my head nothing moves and the back of my neck is nicely shaved and feels nice to the touch.

Oh man, I can't believe I missed this post as well. I guess I must have a thing for tiny guys, because my newest celeb crush is on, get this, "Howlin'" Pete Almquist. Um, yeah, the Hives guy. The wee little lead singer with the big shouty voice. No, I don't think I can explain it.

As for Alex -- well, nice shoes are, um, nice. (My dad also cared about his shoes, and my dad was a total GUY.)

alright so here's a question for the courtship experts of ILX.
what does it mean when the last time I hung out with this girl (over a week ago) and we were going to sleep, she asked me what I would do if she forced herself on me, but NOW she does not reply to text messages or phone calls or whatever when I am trying to get her to hang out? we HAVE talked since we hung out, but were unable to make any definite plans due to crap going on in her life.

romantic.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 04:24 (twenty years ago)

this could be way she hasn't texted you. you don't seem interested enough. maybe she's looking for something more special.

― bell labs (bell_labs), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

if i were more interested it would be creepy/stalkerish, i think. i mean, i've tried to get in touch with her several times via a variety of methods (telephone, internet, text message.)

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 04:35 (twenty years ago)

lots of guys who have no romantic intentions whatsoever call and text and try to make plans because they want to get laid. most girls are used to guys acting in this manner and assume (for their own protection) that the guy is not romantically interested, which is i think what bell labs was talking about.

xpost

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 04:50 (twenty years ago)

perhaps but she doesn't necessarily know that from your response to her question the other night. now, how to prove to her you are interested in more than getting laid, i don't know, cause i suck at that kind of stuff. but maybe just be honest w/ her about it. you can do that without being mushy i think.

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 04:52 (twenty years ago)

waiting for her to return my calls is step #1.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 04:55 (twenty years ago)

tehresa is otm. your behavior is making it seem like you are just pursuing a hookup. if it is important to you, make some kind of big personal gesture. if that sounds like too much, it's probably not important enough to bother with.

― bell labs (bell_labs), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 05:00 (twenty years ago)

yeah but it is hard when she is not returning his calls, etc. and she's maybe not returning them because she doesn't just want a casual hookup (which she may think he's after due to the other night's events, which are partially her fault since she posed the question) so is hesitant to call/text/email back. or she might just be busy.

― electric sound of jim (and why not) (electricsound), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 05:05 (twenty years ago)

have you propsed any specific plans, or just "hanging out"? if you ask her to do something specific that shows thought and consideration (and maybe a teeeensy bit of romance) she might be more inclined to want to get together.

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 05:06 (twenty years ago)

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 05:10 (twenty years ago)

nah, that's not creepy... it's typical 'i have a crush' thinking.

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 05:12 (twenty years ago)

i would say, just do something funny and sweet and personal if you like her. nobody responds badly to that. like "i found this hilarious thing that reminded me of you." that can read as crush or friend but will ultimately be endearing.

I was like "oh how come you're here tonight" and she said "I saw on your Facebook that you were playing here...".

i keep making periodic eye contact w/ this guy at the other end of the computer area. i just did a super-obvious what's-he-looking-at-on-his-computer neck crane and he totally caught me doing it :/

lololol. (laughing WITH)

There is a girl at work who I keep catching looking at me over her book in the break room. She's always reading stuff with like http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5gJjmZurQeU/S5oIZfddvPI/AAAAAAAAA9s/UR_qPcYYg1w/S220/anti-IRS.jpg on the cover, and Nickel & Dimed, so on. And she's always saying really exasperated things to this old moustache-tattoo guy from her department like "it's a system designed to keep the rich rich and the poor poor and etc etc la la la la". She once asked me what I was reading--I think it was Kobo Abe?--and just such a stalled look of disappointment on her face when I told her it was fiction. I feel bad though cuz the awkward eye contact keeps happening, and she seems twice as nice as she is odd, and I haven't been able to talk to her in depth enough to convey that I'm happily spoken for.

not sure it counts as crush if person knows i like them and it's a topic of discussion. but if so then yes, spring crushing to the max.

― LocalGarda, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 13:20 (fourteen years ago)

thanks guys. been on a few dates but she's seeing someone, it's a bit of a long game but all above board and having really good fun as friends for now, we both know we like each other. haven't actually liked someone this much for a few years, it makes other crushes seem insignificant. the good side of that is that it's not even nervy or difficult to be sane about it all, cos hanging out is just so effortlessly easy.

― LocalGarda, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 13:32 (fourteen years ago)

new crushes always make old crushes seem insignificant, that's at least 25% of why they're great.

― the '' key on my keybord is not working (darraghmac), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 13:49 (fourteen years ago)

yeah true...though even with that in mind you can still make sensible comparisons.

― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 16:56 (fourteen years ago)

Oh I lied, I have a work crush, although I have no idea WHY. He's completely unsuitable* and I've never even spoken to him.

* Actually this is probably why.

― go peddle your bullshit somewhere else sister (Laurel), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 17:33 (fourteen years ago)

Can I get a clear definition of crush here? I always thought it was just a light, fleeting attraction to someone that's fun to have for a couple weeks or more and then if nothing comes of it it's no big deal. But then one of my friends told me a few years ago that crush has a deeper, more serious connotation. WTF? I think she's the one who misinterprets the meaning of a crush.

Anyway, by my definition, I've always got at least three crushes going on at any one time.

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 17:57 (fourteen years ago)

For me, the defining thing about a crush is that it's more about ME than the crush. Like, I'm feeling an attraction without really knowing the person or at least the attraction isn't BASED on anything real about them -- it's based on my image of them. This is the part that is not-serious, because they can never BE the person I'm mythologizing/crushing on because that person doesn't exist.

― go peddle your bullshit somewhere else sister (Laurel), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 18:01 (fourteen years ago)

ding! ding! ding!

That's an excellent definition imo.

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 18:01 (fourteen years ago)

So it could be light and only last a few weeks and then I'm like, what was I thinking?? or it could be months later and I'm still struck dumb in their presence. Either way, if it didn't hurt, they'd call it something else.

― go peddle your bullshit somewhere else sister (Laurel), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 18:05 (fourteen years ago)

i define mine as checking out the interns asses.

― Get me two meatball sandwiches Utah, TWO! (chrisv2010), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 18:14 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah I think I've been getting crushes wrong. I totally have like 4-5 people in rotation at all times who seem like people I'd like to bang. Then there's people I get kind of a heart swelly feeling for, which I've always defined as a crush.

― exécutés avec l’insolence accoutumée du (Michael White), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 21:00 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah it's weird because I keep thinking I should be crushing or looking for crushing prospects so my mind keeps going there in a habitual way only for me to remember that I don't really WANT to be into anybody.

― go peddle your bullshit somewhere else sister (Laurel), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 21:04 (fourteen years ago)

I rather like having little crushes. I just don't fancy anybody particularly at the moment.

― exécutés avec l’insolence accoutumée du (Michael White), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 21:07 (fourteen years ago)

I know you do, mw. I just need a break, I'm saying, even though spring ring a ding a ling DOES make me think I ought to feel differently.

Oh I'll def refer to a "crush" when I mean "this person turns my knees to jelly and I'd go out with them in a SECOND", tbh. Fleeting fancies leave my mind so fast theyre not worth being given a name, cos they never last long enough.

― Borads of Candida (Trayce), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 22:51 (fourteen years ago)

i still feel emotionally a bit calcified from a recent breakup so even though there are some really beautiful &crushworthy girls in my life right now i just haven't been feeling it. so down for a spring crush tho
