― 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

^ god yes, such a typical progression for me too, and by the time I think it's time to back out, it's too late!

― GamalielRatsey, Thursday, 31 March 2011 20:52 (fourteen years ago)

Abandon hope etc.

― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Thursday, 31 March 2011 20:54 (fourteen years ago)

Unless Hope is the name of your crush.

― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Thursday, 31 March 2011 20:54 (fourteen years ago)

My crush has morphed into a date tonight. Excited! Also just realised it is April 1st today hahaha.

― Borads of Candida (Trayce), Thursday, 31 March 2011 21:03 (fourteen years ago)

xp If so, there may be Hope for you yet.

Oh god stop me. You can tell I'm bored, can't you.

― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Thursday, 31 March 2011 21:08 (fourteen years ago)

xp woo hoo Trayce!! Pretty sure he's no fool :)

― VegemiteGrrl, Thursday, 31 March 2011 21:36 (fourteen years ago)

Hope for us all! (even Laurel). Actually Hope might want to take a sabbatical if that's the case.

― GamalielRatsey, Thursday, 31 March 2011 21:58 (fourteen years ago)

Cant concentrate on work. Gah. nervous.

― Borads of Candida (Trayce), Friday, 1 April 2011 04:33 (fourteen years ago)

So excited for you!!!!!

― VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 1 April 2011 05:09 (fourteen years ago)

I picked a shitty time to want to try not smoking ha ha ha. Oh god.

― Borads of Candida (Trayce), Friday, 1 April 2011 05:09 (fourteen years ago)

just shred every piece of paper thar comes near your hands...you'll be fine :D

― VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 1 April 2011 05:10 (fourteen years ago)

Was almost forced to make eye contact w my crush the other day. Luckily avoided the ish by fleeing the scene entirely. Yay me!

― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Friday, 8 April 2011 16:51 (fourteen years ago)

lady waiting for meeting outside my office. godamn.

now that's what I call maintaining, not to say restoring, the standards of this peerless epic thread.

― the pinefox, Friday, 8 April 2011 17:05 (fourteen years ago)

fucking hell, she was hot.

― Zero pumps, massive boner (thebingo), Friday, 8 April 2011 17:08 (fourteen years ago)

down boy

― VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 8 April 2011 17:50 (fourteen years ago)

i think she was flirting.

― Zero pumps, massive boner (thebingo), Friday, 8 April 2011 17:57 (fourteen years ago)

does flipping of hair count as flirting.

― Zero pumps, massive boner (thebingo), Friday, 8 April 2011 17:57 (fourteen years ago)

I thought so but I was wrong.

― GamalielRatsey, Friday, 8 April 2011 18:00 (fourteen years ago)

flipping hair can also mean she has an annoying haircut; she just straightened her hair and she cant' stop messing with it; can also mean...um...hair flipping.

easy tiger :D

― VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 8 April 2011 18:04 (fourteen years ago)

Was she flipping your hair? That might count.

― Si tu parles, tu meurs. Si tu te tais, tu meurs. Alors, dis et (Michael White), Friday, 8 April 2011 18:05 (fourteen years ago)

her hair looked sexy, her boots were sexy, her small talk about the red sox was sexy.

― Zero pumps, massive boner (thebingo), Friday, 8 April 2011 18:06 (fourteen years ago)

Her sexy was sexy...

― Si tu parles, tu meurs. Si tu te tais, tu meurs. Alors, dis et (Michael White), Friday, 8 April 2011 18:07 (fourteen years ago)

uh huh. my namesake rings true

― Zero pumps, massive boner (thebingo), Friday, 8 April 2011 18:07 (fourteen years ago)

only ugly people come into my work

― corey, Friday, 8 April 2011 20:17 (fourteen years ago)

crushing hard on someone at this conference I'm at right now, he's here with his bf but his bf leaves tomorrow

trying not to flirt past a certain point, but it's hard

because he is super-cute

― VegemiteGrrl, Saturday, 9 April 2011 01:38 (fourteen years ago)

Boots is gonna be workin here. Man this place

― Zero pumps, massive boner (thebingo), Saturday, 9 April 2011 02:07 (fourteen years ago)

I never find anyone on campus worth "crushing" on, sadly.

― Simpsons Christmas Boogie (MintIce), Saturday, 9 April 2011 02:10 (fourteen years ago)

ok got the 411 from mutual friend, crush and bf are monogamous so I shall have to back off, keep it in my pants etc.

― the tune is space, Saturday, 9 April 2011 05:02 (fourteen years ago)

BOO

― VegemiteGrrl, Saturday, 9 April 2011 05:03 (fourteen years ago)

spring crushed

― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 April 2011 10:31 (fourteen years ago)

crush those who crush spring crushes!

― VegemiteGrrl, Saturday, 9 April 2011 15:56 (fourteen years ago)

Fuxache, thought I was over this one, but she just popped over to talk to me and I couldn't speak properly because my heart was about where my tonsils are. I want Trayce to say that the date was amazing and all spring crushes come true or something. At the moment I feel as if allegorical emotional soup kitchen is more likely to send out Charity or Faith than Hope.

― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Thursday, 14 April 2011 08:34 (fourteen years ago)

Fizzles, you appear to have the most complicated romantic life of anyone on ... well, anyone on I Love Books.

― the pinefox, Thursday, 14 April 2011 09:21 (fourteen years ago)

I allow it to become complicated, that's the problem. A sort of emotional turpitude. At the very least a slovenley attitude to the heart's contents.

― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Thursday, 14 April 2011 09:54 (fourteen years ago)

Wishin' I had a few more of these. Would occupy my mind so much more pleasantly than actual life troubles.

― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Monday, 25 April 2011 17:03 (fourteen years ago)

Not that I have any partic troubles but you know, lyfe. Crushes are better than lyfe, this is about 80% of their appeal, right?

― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Monday, 25 April 2011 17:05 (fourteen years ago)

crushes are worse than lyfe imo -- but maybe i'm doing it wrong?

― sarahel, Monday, 25 April 2011 17:32 (fourteen years ago)

ARE they?? I know they're painful and embarrassing and consume yr attention exactly when you most need it for other, less exciting things, but isn't that what's secretly GOOD about them?

― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Monday, 25 April 2011 18:14 (fourteen years ago)

i dunno - i feel like there are way more exciting and fulfilling things that i could be attending to, but instead i have dumb crushes

― sarahel, Monday, 25 April 2011 18:28 (fourteen years ago)

Oh. See, my life is a waiting game in many ways right now, I could use a distraction. Might start asking for volunteers.

― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Monday, 25 April 2011 18:30 (fourteen years ago)

maybe i'm just not very good at things that are supposed to be fun?

― sarahel, Monday, 25 April 2011 18:31 (fourteen years ago)

How rigorous is the screening process, Laurel?

― Concatenated without abruption (Michael White), Monday, 25 April 2011 18:31 (fourteen years ago)

ok that's not entirely true -- i'm good at drinking.

The only historical qualification is being entirely wrong for me, and possibly a bad idea for any other human being to become invested in. Extra points for substance abuse issues and innate cruelty.

― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Monday, 25 April 2011 18:38 (fourteen years ago)

this thread inspired me to listen to mandy moore
