Oh my word, I have the world's biggest crush on Anna over the road. She's so sweet, and her nose is so cuuuute, and she's lovely, and her and I would make the best couple ever. Her boyfriend is SOOO not good for her. I just wanna give her a hug and a smooch and a cuddle and whisper sweet nonsense in her ear . . . and then maybe fuck her glasses off.

Anyways, list your summer crushes here.

Anna was wearing a summer dress today. Sigh.

― Come Back Johnny B (Johnney B), Friday, 12 August 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

I have no (real, i.e. non fictional character) crushes at the moment. Except passing fancies for random pointy-nosed ginger boys who ride the bus through Brixton. Where can I get a proper crush?

Actually, no, on second thought my life is better without them.

I have a crush on his sideburns.

Celeb crushes: Chris Garver from "Miami Ink" for his tattoos and laid-back-ness and general smarts in a sea of thugs who are prone to losing their heads, Malcolm Gladwell (in love with his cultural capital), Matt James from "The City Gardener" for his disarmingly orgasmic delight over purple foliage etc etc. And one or two people from Real Life, as well.

As you can see from this list ALONE, one of my dating problems is attraction to opposite types. Can't make up my mind whether the muscle-bound & generally capable over the cerebral types w/o confidence or physical presence but then they start lecturing and I swoon on cue.

I'm a little aghast at the glasses removal technique advocated here.

I'm not! I wish I could experience this glasses removal technique for myself! Sounds much better than forgetting you have them on and going to bed with them perched on top of your head, then rolling over and breaking them.

Good lord. One eye appears to be swollen shut and there's a spot on his chin. Also, he's wearing a matched set of fried eggs. Kate, I really do fear for you sometimes!

― Laurel, Friday, 12 August 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

I really like his mismatched eyes thing. OK, normally he does the "raise one eyebrow wide and squinch the other up" (which is dead sexy) such as voila...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/totheendsoftheearth/images/450x187/characters_actors.jpg

...but he does look a bit like Thom York in that other post. Who is also a long-running crush, so it's not like I mind.

And as to the spot... blimey, everyone gets spots. No idea what the yellow glasses are about. I think he was playing a sci fi villain at the time, and getting into character, or, erm, something.

― Alce Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 12 August 2005 15:32 (twenty years ago)

(I will grant you that the yellow-lens shot is more charming and youthful and generally appealing than most of the others!)

You are so harsh, Laurel. I don't criticise anyone else's crushes! Humph!

― Laurel, Friday, 12 August 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

(I am trying to figure out if his Captain Anderson hair is his own hair, or a wig. He does seem to like having his hair long, at least in the past. If it's a wig, it's a remarkably accurate slightly receding hairline that matches his own. Plus a lovely mix of slightly salt and pepper ginger. Sometimes he's more ginger than others, though.)

-This one girl who is flagrantly on my dick, I mean flagrantly, and I'm totally on the bitch dick too, flagrantly - whenever I see her we ignore everyone else immediately and we're SURE this is the night we realize we're perfect for each other, but we're so perfect for each other that we always awkwardly, hornily make some excuse to 'see you next time...' when we blatantly waited out everyone else till 4am in the corny hope one of us would have the guts to just ask already, but it's always so perfect we can't ruin the moment. It will never happen, I can tell.

Kate, tho' your heart sails with Captain Anderson... have you found the bit about Talbot's crush - the 'coup de foudre' he describes when he meets Marion Chumley?

Huh, you know about my crush. It's gone adrift in a coracle with a cup of water, a weevilly biscuit and a copy of Jane's Fighting Ships.

haha, "flagrantly on my dick" = awesome.

I think I have a crush on almost all the main characters in the new Battlestar Galactica. I just watched the pilot/miniseries again and it's just so great (and new episode dl-ing now!). Right now Starbuck and Chief are competing for top crush spot though. It's partly b/c when characters on the show smile, really smile, which they rarely do, it's like freakin' sunshine. Crush sunshine.

the 'coup de foudre' he describes when he meets Marion Chumley?

I was not familiar with the phrase, because I skimmed over the bits of their meeting with the chiX0r to get to the bits where Captain Anderson roared with laughter and explained why steam travel would never take off.

I find Talbot - and his inexplicable crush - just revolting and a bit wet indeed.

I'll second that...

That's a little harsh, isn't it? Bearing in mind he is the narrator who brings Captain Anderson to literary life for you in his journals, I mean. Talbot's crush - it's more than a crush, really - is one of the things that causes him to realise his arrogance and gain a different perspective on life. It's an important part of the trilogy's narrative and the principle protagonist's development, right?

I like the fact that Marion takes none of his nonsense. It's hardly inexplicable, unless you're attacking the entire fiction for being fiction - you may as well say the parson is inexplicably gay.

― angle of dateh, Monday, 15 August 2005 11:24 (twenty years ago)

Crushes do suXXor. It doesn't even make any sense from an evolutionary standpoint - what possible advantage does it give someone to pine away after people they can't have? Support for the Evil Creator theory.

I just hate the way his crush just APPEARS out of nowhere, love at first sight, blah blah blah, even though he's clearly suffering from a lump on the head. He's decided that he's in love with her before she refuses to take any of his nonsense. It's just the lightening-strike 4-weddings-and-a-funeral sort of "love at first sight" so common in British male fiction and I find it unbelievable and silly, a literary conceit, because it never happens in real life. (At least not to me.)

And even after Talbot's supposed "reformation" he's still an arrogant prick. And anyway - honestly, I find that Miss Chumley has less to do with said development than his changing attitudes towards Lts. Summers and Deverell. Initially he finds Deverll more the gentleman, because of his class, and is shocked by Summer's revelation of having "come up through the ranks". It is only as he finds Deverell an increasingly deplorable villain (nearly sinking the ship through his drunkenness, his snobbish class-based hatred of Anderson) - and realises the strength of Summers' character - that he starts to reform.

His newfound love for the penniless Chumley is a symptom of his changing attitudes, not the cause of it.

(Anyway, perhaps I just hate him because he refuses to change his opinion of Captain Anderson, despite Anderson proving his nobleness and harsh-but-fair Captainhood again and again - going without fire in his private galley so that the crew can have hot food, etc.)

((Then again, Anderson continues to not take Talbot's nonsense - though Talbot does not understand why the emnity. Even though he writes, after the denouncement at the end of the first book, that Anderson has more reason to hate a Lord than a Parson.))

― Mrs. Cranky (From Crankytown) (kate), Monday, 15 August 2005 11:37 (twenty years ago)

One of my favourite passages - as they are in grave danger of smashing into the iceberg/Antartica - Anderson is being the very image of grace under pressure, giving orders calmly and slowly in order to avoid both panic and endangering their weakened ship - and Talbot starts fussing and panicking and screaming "bring the ship around" and Anderson, still the picture of calm, replied "I was just about to give that order, sir" then Talbot noticing his fidgeting fist, which he describes as "if it had a mouth, it could not have stated more clearly 'oh, how I wish to be driven into the face of this insolent passenger!'"

(I'm sure that my crush has overcome my powers of grammar in there somewhere.)

His newfound love for the penniless Chumley is a symptom of his changing attitudes, not the cause of it

You're right. And I also agree that the representation of the 'coup de foudre' is clunky... I find myself speculating if Golding's repressed sexuality had something to do with it... or maybe, like Conrad's general failure to properly characterise women, he simply wasn't very good at portraying heterosexual love.

"if it had a mouth, it could not have stated more clearly 'oh, how I wish to be driven into the face of this insolent passenger!'"

Good stuff. But isn't this Talbot representing his own failures of character? It's ages since I read these books. If he hadn't gained some humility, one might speculate he wouldn't have recorded that detail at all.

― angle of dateh, Monday, 15 August 2005 12:33 (twenty years ago)

I don't think so... his first recorded encounter with Anderson wasn't much better. At least he recognised that it was only the brace of letters of reccomendation from his godfather and uncle which preserved Anderson from making good on his twitching fists' promise.

― Mrs. Cranky (From Crankytown) (kate), Monday, 15 August 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

what possible advantage does it give someone to pine away after people they can't have?

Yeah! I pined away whole week off i'd been really looking forward to recently, it was fucken stooopid. All I could do was wonder what on earth my brain/body chemistry thought it was playing at. It makes no evolutionary sense at all. What did caveman do, or Rousseau's noble savage? Loll around on the forest floor indolently carving crude pictures of some inattainable neanderthal crush and sighing when s/he should blinking well be out hunting and gathering, or possibly doing some DIY around the cavern?

Hah. Am recovering from a workplace crush earlier this year, which was foolish to begin with b/c he's too young and too, well, posh. Which is a weird thing to say, this being America, but maybe what I mean is that he had that perfect gracious politeness which my mother would have given her EYETEETH for me to acquire but apparently it mostly consists of always saying the "right" thing which is also, after 15 minutes consideration, usually the most predictable/acceptable thing and ergo deeply inconsequential. Which simultaneously bored me and made me feel totally inadequate for not being as well-bred as the crush in question. There's something in this line of thought, but probably interesting to me and me only.

Well, that's what depression does to you.

Which is the suck because one of the few things that effectively counteracts the chemical effects of depression on the brain is the oxytocin rush of a crush.

my strangest crush was on a young studmuffin at work with bulging biceps and frosted spiky hair, who spent all his money and free time pimping his ride - a purple low-rider truck. we would flirt all day during working hours, which was muy fun.
then one fateful day, we actually ventured to mcdonalds in his beloved automobile. we realised we had absolutely NOTHING to talk about outside of the office, and it was rather embarassing driving down the highway at 20mph because if the truck scraped against the pavement at any greater speed.
bah. crushed.

yowsa i am having TWO crushes! this is amazing cos usually i have zero! they are both totally pointless and nothing will ever come of them and only one is a proper serious crush, but it's nice anyway. the proper one is on a boy who is not interested (in me or in anybody else) (and since i get totally tongue-tied and can't string a sentence together when he's around, i somehow don't think i'm gonna be the one to make him change his mind) but this is my fourth ever proper serious crush in my entire life so i'm enjoying it lots. the second is a gurlcrush! and nothing is gonna come of that partly cos i'm a gurl and so is she (yes yes, i know it works for lots of ppl, but we got the same stuff as each other = i wd get bored (plus there is a definite ugh factor... odd, that, as 2 boys = the opposite of ugh)), but also cos it's adele out of sons & daughters (the band not the soap), so unlikely to happen anyway. (it is making me understand why so many boys go gaga over fierce pale indiegurls with guitars though.)

remember when he climbs the rope in 'sidekicks' and then chuck norris magically appears next to him?

i always wished i was the rope, man, like, for reals

i have no crush right now, sadly

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

OK, yeah, so the good news is that my "sister" is coming to the UK next week, and she will make me drink loads and run around chasing boys and hanging out with Ver Stooges and generally make me have a good time, coz she is freaking aces at that. And there will be so many dirty rock boys around that I'm sure I will get a crush on one or another of them.

But the bad news is, that she is so gorgeous, it's not like dirty rock boys will even notice I am in the universe if she is anywhere near me. Sigh.

― Mrs. Cranky (From Crankytown) (kate), Monday, 15 August 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

not only did he not have hydraulics, ken, there wasn't even a proper interior! there were holes in the floor, and no carpeting and... yeah. pretty ghetto!
as for strange... well, i'm a demure indie girl, non? surely i should be lusting after skinny boys with lucious locks and wacky frocks and cute specs, not pecs!
that being said, i did spend a dirty weekend in a hotel with another muscle-bound brute who wore a skull cap and liked to pinch my ass in public. mmmmmm

Uh also, Kate, you are In A Band, possibly the most aphrodisiac quality ever known to DDB-kind. And what's more, you're in a band for The Music, Maaaan, and not just because you look good holding an instrument (as the bassist in my ex's old band said, self-mockingly, "I play the BIG guitar").

ha! i was wondering how long it would take for ian to get here...

And it's taken even longer for me to get back.

I was crushing on old-school Hillary Clinton (in her Twenties) -- probably because she resembles my supremely attractive friend Erin (who, despite liking me, is with someone else right now and so she's horribly unattainable). Goodness gracious, I'm an absolute sucker for blondes these days. But after dropping by a bookstore yesterday where my long-time friend Molly (who is not a blonde, mind you) works -- oh goodness, she's always stunning but yesterday I really wanted to pounce on her because she looked so exceptionally scrumptious (without even trying!) and was just so bubbly and charming. I wanted to playfully tackle her behind the counter and from there on it would've been wonderfully inappropriate! Anyhow, she's invited me along to dinner and some other event with a group of her friends on Friday -- it's not a date essentially, but at heart I wouldn't mind if it twisted into one. Ooh, I just remembered that she complimented my appearance! No-one ever does that! Squee! Cuddlestein Mountain! Nuvvieworld! Okay, I'm just getting ridiculous -- I'm just excited because it's a prospect to escape social poverty with a possible hint of romance. I'm probably being too optimistic; I can't help it! I've wanted something to look forward to!

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

I don't specialize in the unattainable! I think I've just been too busy with life-stuff to develop any abstract crushes lately. Except for this girl I met who looked like a sexy adult version of Wendy from the Wendy's logo. I had a thirty-minute crush on her. But she'd just gotten caught in a storm, and I suspect it's easier to have a crush on someone when she's all wet and smells like rain.

I don't know about crushing in the rain, but KISSING in the rain, now that's some fun -- faces all wet, clothes clinging. Enjoyment dampened slightly, however, by the fact that in New York you never know where those raindrops have been. Of course, you don't know where your kissing partner has been either.

And I did say "slightly", which shouldn't stop anyone (and won't, I'm sure).

― Laurel, Wednesday, 17 August 2005 00:26 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure if this counts as a crush, but for the past few days I've seen the same woman every day, standing outside a shop handing out flyers. The first day we kind of smiled at each other, and yesterday we definitely smiled at each other. Today I passed her twice - the first time we did an "oh, you again!" smile and wave thing, and the second time I stopped to talk to her!

I'm *so* pleased with myself! I actually managed to stop and talk to a random stranger because I thought they looked attractive! Wow!

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:26 (twenty years ago)

OK, that's worrying, because even *I* wouldn't talk to a random stranger!

Anyway, I'm recycling old crushes now because I'm feeling jaded.

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:31 (twenty years ago)

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

I think you should go and say hello again IF you're going to ask her for her phone number or something. Making a special journey for anything less is possibly too stalkerish as Kate says.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:50 (twenty years ago)

Nah, see, I think it's the making a special trip thing that's vaguely stalkerish. If you are genuinely going into town to get lunch or whatever (though yeah, I know, I am queen of making excuses to go back to wherever to look at the cute boy under "real" pretexts) then it's fine to talk to her. But to go, specially to talk to her would worry me.

Otherwise, stalk away!

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:08 (twenty years ago)

I'm not saying I don't do it, mind you...

We used to go through mic stands at an astonishing rate when I had a crush on the boy who worked at our studio. ("No, I don't like that one. Can you get us one with a longer boom?" and when he came back "Plus, the mic smells of beer, can we have another one?")

We had to sign a contract with the Bull and Gate promising to pay if we broke any mic stands. I felt like saying "well, that depends on how cute your soundperson is!"

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:10 (twenty years ago)

Do you mind if I use that as an example of why attempting to draw a "legitimate reason" line is sort of pointless?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:13 (twenty years ago)

i think if you've already talked to the person it's not really stalkerish to go and talk to them again, in fact, the next time you see this person you HAVE to talk and be friendly! see it's only stalkerish if you hide behind the bushes with a camera.

it's not stalking if you're going round to see her to say hi! it's called making friends! if you click then it's awesome, if not then at least you've made some effort!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:19 (twenty years ago)

xpost knowing a legitimate reason is kind of important in the sense that you don't want to actually be telling them you're going there especially to see them, that's kind of upfront and put pressure on the whole encounter. in fact you don't really want to talk about why you were there at all unless they ask - you just are there, and you happen to be chatting, talk about her, and you.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:21 (twenty years ago)

my god if you fancy this person it's totally fine to want to make an effort to try and speak to her again, whether you need to go into town for other reasons or not is irrelevant.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

exactly!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

The story made it seem like FP walks past her all the time, and the question made it seem like he had to make an effort to do so. I'm confused.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

Ach, what do I know about chatting up crushes anyway?

N.B. I would like to point out that it wasn't as if I was *purposely* breaking mic stands in order to talk to the Cute Soundman. Pretty much all the mic stands were wonky. It was just that if the Cute Soundman was working, I'd use that as an excuse to go and talk to him. If it was one of the other soundmen, we'd just put up with it.

― Win A Lie-Down, Mrs. Davies (kate), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:28 (twenty years ago)

Clarification: I have walked past her several times *this week* but that's because I've had stuff to do at lunchtime. Normally I don't have stuff to do, so I stay at my desk. I don't have anything *planned* to do at lunchtime tomorrow, but I want to go into town anyway now to say hello.

She's there for a fortnight, apparently. I'm not sure whether that's "in total" or "from now".

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:52 (twenty years ago)

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:06 (twenty years ago)

We chatted for about 10 minutes today, before I had to say "sorry, I really have to go," because I was going to be late back at the office. She was clearly very bored, and slightly hung over.

It is unclear if she is single - I'm sure I heard the word boyfriend at one point, but I didn't hear if it came after "my" or "her". I made her laugh by telling her about some ILXors.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 19 August 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

crush update: hurrah hurrah i think the one on the one that made me lose all my words is fading! it's sort of sad, like when the glowsticks that looked so pretty and vivid last night look rubbish and faded and tawdry in the morning, but since it means i will be able to have an Actual Conversation with the dude in question it is definitely a Good Thing. (i mean, i still, y'know, would, but it's not that all-consuming thing any more.) hurrah!

think it is partly due to logical part of brane constantly hammering flighty dreamy part of brane for the last 2 months with "NO! YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!" messages in lead and neon, and partly the remarkable effects of traffic light boy. i have even given traffic light boy a name. erm, perhaps this isn't so healthy after all...

No, no, no, it's shameful. I think I have an office crush. There is a consultant (I assume he's a consultant, he dresses like a banker) upstairs who is a dead ringer for Boris Johnson, but quite a bit taller. Pointy, pointy nose, flaxen blond hair that does that "sticking up in six different directions at once" thing. It's bad bad BAD to have crushes on people at work.

Also, I have a total rock star crush on Ron, but that's cool, as he is the coolest rock star in the world.

I spoke to my crush of shame on Wednesday night. Apparently didn't make too much of an arse of myself but didn't exactly cover myself in glory.

My most longterm celebrity crush is seeing a real renaissance in my cranium this summer:

Uh, I don't have real crushes. So I just kind of...do this.
