because the 800lb gorilla that is spring crushes! deserves a rest.

lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

Gal at work. I think our age difference freaks her out. I'd like to consentually molest her in the dark. She is very tall and curvy.

i have a crush on jeremy paxman, but i've said that already.

lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

This is about 2005. Move on.

Jimmy Mod always makes friends with women before bedding them down (ModJ), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

come on.

RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:42 (twenty years ago)

I haven't had a proper crush for ages and now I do, and it's terribly inconvenient :(

(Lauren I don't think these long-running ones count otherwise I'd just be all ALASTAIR CAMPBELL in this thread!)

The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

Alastair Campbell?!!

You can't be my friend any more.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 12:53 (twenty years ago)

Alastair is EVEN FITTER in the flesh. I once asked him how it felt to be a sex object, and he looked more discomfited than he ever did during the Hutton Inquiry.

The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:09 (twenty years ago)

You would have thought he'd got used to questions along those lines from when he used to be a porn writer.

caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:10 (twenty years ago)

I think he was probably more discomfited by the way I was ogling his crotch at the time.

I must track down his porn, really.

The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:14 (twenty years ago)

No more crushes. In 2005 it's cold rationalism for me!

Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

Real life crushes, internet crushes, or celebrity crushes?

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

not even bobby crushes.

Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

i am crushing all the people on the 'what do you look like in your underwear' thread, adorable bastards

Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:15 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I was asking Lauren which kind of crushes she was after?

I kind of don't have a crush at the moment. Which is weird. OK, there are lots of celebrity type blokes who I think "phwoar, etc." (I found myself perving over Ewan MacGreggor again last night for some strange reason) but no big, huge, overwhelming crush.

OK, wait, I definitely do still have the same crush IRL, but that's taken on a very strange dimension.

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:16 (twenty years ago)

(xpost)

as above, but replace "crushing" with "retching at" and omit the last two words.

yes i'm a fine one to talk.

Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

rofl@ paxman crush. if lauren gets really big hair then i might have to crush that

celebrity crushes: Bridget Fonda again (after catching both Jackie Brown and Monkeybone on TV recently), Charlotte Hatherley (after seeing 'Bastardo' video), Fiona 'fearbrows' Bruce, token 'edgy/unconventional' inclusion er...i'll get back to you

Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:21 (twenty years ago)

i have no crushes right now. none. it's depressing.

Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

Oh, yes, random celebrity crushes, I *totally* lezzup crush all over that blonde presenter on The Culture Show.

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

I have a crush on Mindy the mermaid from the Spongebob movie!

nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

big hair? que?

i'm hopelessly stuck on paxman, i'm afraid.

lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:51 (twenty years ago)

my list of crushes is really fucking long right now. :(((((((

caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

i'll never forget the day i saw Paxman screeching into the BBC TV Centre car park, fully suited up, on a pre-war bicycle

Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

not to be confused with Jeremy Clarkson, whom I once saw roaring out of the underground car park at Park Lane at about 150 mph and going arse over tit.

Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

The boy from work who I actually think is a cock, but he has a girlfriend so it's all ok.
Crush, no. Chemistry HELL YES.
Ryan from The OC.
Bill Murray 4 eva.

Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 15:08 (twenty years ago)

Rob Lowe in suited West Wing mode.

Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

I don't have a crush on anyone (IRL), but the goth-ish girl student working part-time in the local Co-op has a hard-on for me. Why else would she ask me if I lived locally and then hurridly add "I've just seen you around, that's all", as I dug for change in my pockets?
I don't fancy her in the least though, but nevermind.

David Merryweather (DavidM), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 15:24 (twenty years ago)

A hard-on?

the bellefox, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 16:11 (twenty years ago)

The new boy in the video shop keeps giving Matt free films because he claims to 'recognise' him (from where, he hasn't said). Tune in next week for escalation into full stalker horror scenario.

Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

ooh i used to get free films from a video store stalker too. I had to stop going in there to be honest it was awkward.

no crushes here, so far.

Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 16:47 (twenty years ago)

Ohmigod! I have a new crush! I'm so happy! Just what I needed!

Oh wait, no, just what I *didn't* need, but still. It's nice to have one.

Does anyone remember Brett Anderson lookylike boy from the shoegazer club who kept buttonholing me for urgent discussions about Flock of Seagulls? Well, yeah, he fronts a romo-glam-spacesynth-Brian-Eno-Shagging-Duran-Duran-In-Jarvis-Cocker's-Bedsit sort of outfit and I've got a crush on his whole band.

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:39 (twenty years ago)

Pinefox, I think you'll find the technical term is a clit-on.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:43 (twenty years ago)

as above, but replace "crushing" with "retching at" and omit the last two words.

I thought you weren't coming back?

Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:45 (twenty years ago)

None of my IRL crushes have been getting anywhere lately. Bah.

caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:51 (twenty years ago)

Enough with the nastiness! More with the crushing!

http://www.luxembourgweb.co.uk/davidluxemboy4.jpg

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:54 (twenty years ago)

omg another crush thread started by lauren!

kate i have a hopeless crush on you.

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:57 (twenty years ago)

literally?

xpost

Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 10:57 (twenty years ago)

Stence, how many times do I have to tell you? You are my original and best ILX crush and some day if you stop with the flirting and make with the macking, we will prove those NY-LON things can work with English girl and American boy for a change.

And crushing, literally... oh yes. He's a wee little thing.

The Spy hates him, calls him Morph. (Funny because he won't talk to me when The Spy is around, in fact, he'll only talk to me when I'm out with a girl, I guess he thinks I'm a lesbian and safe then.) Which is brilliant considering their Synthesist said this:

Bond movies would be great if the glamourous treachourous female leads won the battle of the wits and kicked the living shit out of whichever smarmy little cock happens to be starring...

...which is essentially what I've been saying since I was 11. Swoon.

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

Wow, you really fell for that make-myself-attractive-to-chicks line right there.

Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:05 (twenty years ago)

please kate either get over your fear of flying and/or send me cash to come to london. i am listening to fahey and feeling lonely, yet still somewhat sober (despite my posts). we have met, but yet have not met (i hardly talked to you that night). sheesh.

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:06 (twenty years ago)

Well, what I found far more attractive was him making out with the bassist in the corner before they went on. OH GOD YES!!!

x-post... :-)

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:07 (twenty years ago)

i can play bass but i have no idea what you're talking about.

ps.

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:10 (twenty years ago)

It's funny, because I've past this point now where I don't find women kissing each other attractive any more. And now, I totally can't understand what you find exciting about two guys making out, even though I find that pretty hot myself.

What the hell is going on.

Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:11 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, Stence, I was talking about Luxembourg.

I don't know what it is about hott boys making out. But it is very hott indeed. Emsk kept telling me "close your mouth, dear."

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:13 (twenty years ago)

fuck dykes, they're over.

(no offense to real lesbians, obv.).

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:13 (twenty years ago)

the only european country i have been to is spain.

btw. kate will you marry me?

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:14 (twenty years ago)

If you two actually did get together that would be awesome.

Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:15 (twenty years ago)

i was in the same bar tonight that i met her in, but yet, that night i hardly said hello (I was in a relationship). I suck.

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:16 (twenty years ago)

Stence, if I were in any fit state to actually be in a relationship right now, I would so marry you. But I'm just doing the "taking a break from men for a few months" thing because I'm still so f*cked up emotionally right now that all I end up doing is being horrible to people that I really care about. :-(

But that doesn't mean I can't watch hott boys snog in corners.

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:17 (twenty years ago)

Pinefox, I think you'll find the technical term is a clit-on.

A wide-on?

Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:21 (twenty years ago)

well, yeah. but even still. you know. "i have so much love to give"

ps get on aim already!

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:21 (twenty years ago)

I killed ILX. Sorry.

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:35 (twenty years ago)

It was partially my fault too, I think.

Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, I'm trying to keep half a mind on actually working, and half idly surfing the Luxembourg website and thinking I should keep my big mouth shut in case The Spy decides to google ILX to check up on what I've been saying again. :-(

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:39 (twenty years ago)

maybe. Either way, it's not like I have to get up for any reason tomorrow.

xpost other than to flirt with kate i mean!

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:40 (twenty years ago)

ps my last ex checked out ilx, so what? fuck it (we're still friends).

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:41 (twenty years ago)

Heh heh glad you had fun Kate!

Sarah C, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:42 (twenty years ago)

Hott people snogging in the corner makes me sad.

I currently have something of a crush on an Oxfam girl. Must find out how single she is.

Johnney B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:07 (twenty years ago)

"Hott" people snogging on the bus make me irked. Two of them on the 59 on Saturday going like billy-o. I yelled out "FOR FUCK'S SAKE YOU'RE GOING TO DIE! DEAL WITH IT!!" They bolted pretty sharpish. That'll teach them to exhibit some decorum. Do it in the club where I don't have to look at their horrible red tongues, like loose John West tuna past the sell-by date.

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

i'm always bemused by couples who snog in public. the distaste is diluted by some sort of admiration however. do i prefer it to having to witness public rows tho? granted they can be funny and entertaining but usually they're just horrendously irritating.

Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

You are such a bitter old cunt. (xpost)

Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

I far prefer public rows. The other day before meeting The Spy I sat through two middle aged Seth Efrikans having a megadecibel drunken marital spat in the front seat of the bus. It was better than Jerry Springer.

I only snog in public if I'm drunk. Then again, I only snog fullstop if I'm drunk. Sigh.

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

I hate seeing people snogging in public. This is sheer hypocracy on my part, because my FIRST EVER SNOG was in a very public place.

When I first started seeing my most recent ex, we started out by snogging each other in the local children's playground late at night, on the way home from the pub.

caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I know it's hypocrisy. In the past few months, I have snogged:

-in the kitchen at parties
-on the dance floor
-in the Spanish Bar
-in a tube station
-on the bus
-on the corner of Tottenham Court Road

Perhaps it's not hypocrisy but more jealousy that I don't get to snog in public any more. :-(

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

I don't see what the big deal is. Nobody forces you to look. (and no, I don't snog my girl in public with any degree of frequency)

Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

Man, I miss snogging already. And snuggling.

Why can't I just be able to snog someone and snuggle with them, without the terrifying awfulness of Being In A Relationship? It doesn't seem fair.

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

Hmph. With me it's "no opportunity."

Places I enjoyed snogging when last I had the opportunity:

(a) the City at the weekends because it's deserted;
(b) Brick Lane Coffee House, if you can get the sofa at the back - you soon forget about the coffee;
(c) Lower Regent Street on a Saturday morning, where my last-but-one ex and I once stopped the traffic as a result of our unconventional physical approach (lots of admiring glances from drivers and remarks in the nature of: "you lucky bastard").

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

Please describe 'unconventional physical approach'. Did it involve tentacles?

Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:38 (twenty years ago)

feb05: no crushes to report

charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:38 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, I'm saying no more, trade secret and all that. You had to be there...

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

Why can't I just be able to snog someone and snuggle with them, without the terrifying awfulness of Being In A Relationship? It doesn't seem fair.

I'm with you on this one. The worst part of being single is never being able to snuggle up to someone in bed, as you drift off to sleep together.

caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

This is indeed true. Not to mention having lots of CDs and no one to play them to... :-(

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:46 (twenty years ago)

...or rather, no one to listen to them along with you.

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

Why can't I just be able to snog someone and snuggle with them, without the terrifying awfulness of Being In A Relationship? It doesn't seem fair.

Actually, I shouldn't say things like this. The last time I said this, I ended up getting dragged into a year and a half Serious Relationship. Sigh.

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

Ooh, does that really work?

(hey, this is like doing Affirmations)

caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

Well, because if I really *were* ready to Be In A Relationship, then Being In A Relationship wouldn't seem like such a terrifying awfulness.

God, I'm even depressing myself at this point, and I started the day in such a good mood. Need more pictures of Morph, STAT.

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

I'm quite content to agree with things like this. It's exactly what I want at the moment. Whether it would develop into a "Serious Relationship" or not is another matter, but it certainly beats the current state of affairs. Can't go into these things by thinking "I Will Not Have A Serious Relationship I Will Just Have Fun" because as we all know Life Doesn't Work Like That.

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:00 (twenty years ago)

For Kate and Caitlin

Much better!

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:02 (twenty years ago)

You've got a good point. My mother once said to me: "breaking up from a serious relationship is like a bereavement - and it takes five years to get over a bereavement, you know". Mind you, as she's only had ONE serious relationship in her life and is still married to him, she's not the best person to ask for advice on this.

(no doubt she would say it makes her an EXCELLENT person to ask for relationship advice. It probably would, if she was used to being in a relationship with someone who isn't so emotionally retarded that he's always treated her as if she was his mother)

(multiple xposts)

I've been single for [counts on fingers] 15 months now. I'm definitely ready to be in a relationship again.

caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:03 (twenty years ago)

(WARNING - HORRIFYING TWEENESS WITHIN!)

Hey, you're talking to an ex-Sinisterine. I know tweeness when I see it.

caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:03 (twenty years ago)

Never mind all this. The girl taking my order at Nandos last night! Damn she got some wicked style, and I knew something was up when she held my gaze - eventually breaking out into a grin - as I reeled off my order in an increasingly stilted fashion "and one flame grilled chicken... with spicy rice... and... um... colslaw".
She went off duty not long after and I saw her walk by in her regular clothes - man, she's got a fit arse.
I mean to have her.

David Merryweather (DavidM), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

I've been single for a week and a half. Before that, it was about five or six months. Which clearly just wasn't long enough.

And I was putting waaaaaaay too much pressure on myself and the other person (and also, to be fair, there was external pressure from well meaning friends who kept telling me how perfect we were together) to have this AMAZING PERFECT RELATIONSHIP which I just so wasn't ready for. If you push something to happen, it only makes it harder, not easier.

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

(caitlin xpost)

Well I'm three-and-a-half years past my bereavement and I'm still nowhere near "over" it. Nor should I have to be. I suppose that'll be a life sentence of solitary confinement then.

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:07 (twenty years ago)

Hott boy up the arse corner!!!

http://www.underexposed.org.uk/luxembourg/luxgarage2.jpg

The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:12 (twenty years ago)

on reflection, there's a lot to be said for a life of solitary confinement...

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:15 (twenty years ago)

As I said on the other thread, 3 crushes, of varying importance.

I'm totally in love with Gob, too.

I think I'm getting either pathetic or spring fever, because I keep getting crushes on people on tv.

jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 18:50 (twenty years ago)

i have a celeb crush on peter sarsgaard, too. he's been dating maggie "pumpkinhead" gyllenhal for some time now.

It doesn't feel so much like spring yet.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

Randor, do you have Down's or some other type of syndrome or palsy?

Jimmy Mod always makes friends with women before bedding them down (ModJ), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

That's because Spring Crushes 2005 is a month or two away. x-post

I wasn't joking about that ILX crush (apart from the bit where it says "Stevem") but OMG, celeb crushes are so much better. Real life ones (and being crushed on - Stevem would know what I mean here) are just too painful and silly to handle. Also, I'm sure any of our ILX lasses wouldn't be very enthused!

Jimmy, Randor has MPD. See, he actually thinks he's teh Amazing Randy (as opposed to Randy, who is only an animal who thinks he's a person with limited typing skills).

Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

Jimmy Mod always makes friends with women before bedding them down (ModJ), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

For some reason I'm okay with my one true love, Peter Sarsgaard, dating Maggie G. Maybe it's because she's kinda goofy looking.

Meanwhile, her brother is kinda slutty looking. He was Bubble Boy ha ha.

I have a crush on this red-headed girl who works at Best Buy. She wears librarian glasses and talks really fast and efficiently. Thanks to this whole setting-up-a-mini-training-center-in-the-conference-room project dealie I've been doing, I've ended up in her lane at check-out three days in a row now. Thanks to the glory of nametags and ID checks for credit cards, we already know each other's names.

Amerie. I love her little button nose. I recently decided she bears more than a passing resemblance to my longest-standing celebrity crush, Mandy Moore, except, you know, black.

Mike O. (Mike Ouderkirk), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

Oh, if it weren't obviously such a piece of schlock, I should see that First Daughter movie where Amerie plays Katie Holmes' roommate. I don't think I could handle the cuteness.

Rachel Harris? (On I Love The Whatevers, I mean.) Blonde with the everpresent Tina Fey glasses?

The Jennie Finch thing: it's like "wow, that guy's a great athlete"/"I have a Michael Jordan poster up over my bed but I'm not gay"/"check out my Manny Ramirez action figure!" love + "hot girl" love + "and she's not stupid or stiff!" (her baseball stuff on Fox has been much better than token "hot girl talking about sports" stuff usually is).

Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 17 February 2005 00:02 (twenty years ago)

I wish I had a crush. I've almost redeveloped the one I had when I was 12, out of sheer desperation - I need *something* to fantasise about.

Yay non-sucky Food Network personalities! Alton Brown = awesomeness, and I'm pretty grateful TFN has started rerunning "A Cook's Tour" at 4 a.m. (ET) / 3 a.m. (CT) Wednesday mornings. I'm making damn sure to record every single one of those this time.

As for the original subject of this thread -- I could very easily develop a huge celeb crush-type thing on the lovely boy Kate posted upthread. Hummina hummina, yowza, is it getting hot in here or is it just him, etc. And I still have a little bit of a celeb crush on Brandon Flowers, who is so incredibly easy on the eyes. Real-life crushes? Hm. There could be one that MIGHT start with someone I see at my school's computer lab from time to time....

Like, there's this girl whose band I used to play drums in but now she plays drums in my band, and this girl who is my new kinda-roommate, and this wiccan girl who has a wicked singing voice, and this girl that runs one of the U-Scan checkouts at the grocery, and this one girl that has been at Blockbuster the same time as me three times in the past week who asked me what I thought of Lost In Translation (to which I replied "very slow, funny in a way that you don't laugh much, and mildly satisfying"), and finally the weird redneck lesbian that is friends with my other roommate's sister. Good lord.

Because I will run into her today and stammer incoherently while staring at the ceiling, obviously. But I will look and smell terrific doing it. I have half a mind to make her a mix CD of early-nineties new-jack slow jams entitled "U Need a Man With Sensitivity," or something, just to torpedo any chance I have of her taking me seriously.

Oh god, embarrassing thread, die already. Do you remember how up there I was saying all sorts of embarrassing things and being all "oh god, I hope The Spy doesn't read this" and then the last time I saw him he started QUOTING large chunks of this thread across the dinner table and I just went ::cringe cringe die of embarrassment:: because of course, being a Spy, he knows all and can find out any information. Sigh.
