Orange Crush

For awhile now I have been envious of various friends who have crushes. You see, I haven't had a good crush in a very long time.

Maybe I should explain the type of crush I mean. The type of crush I speak of is not the "I like X celebrity" (Michael Vartan) or even one on a "normal" person that could transpire to be more. Rather, I just wanted one where I could see the person and smile, but know nothing will ever happen with them... Actually, not even want anything to happen with them, because that would kind of ruin it all.

So, there was a dry spell on crushes of a very, very long time for me. And that made me very sad. There was nothing to look forward to in my day. No random guy I would see on the 'tro or in the office to just lust after. No cute boy along my new route into work to "bump" into. No one to star in my dreams at night.... er,hmmm... that may be more than you all needed to know. Sorry. There was just no one around that made me secretly smile.

There is just something nice and fun about having a crush, even if, maybe especially if you know it isn't going anywhere, not wanting it to go anywhere, but deep down knowing the it could go somewhere (that is if I really wanted it to and weren't too chicken to make it happen).

But, I need not fret anymore. I have not one but two crushes. Which, in this case is good, because then they can take turns at night, er I mean... moving right along...it is good because I rarely see either of them. One is a lawyer, who I know if I really got to know him would most likely be either a) an ass, b) gay or c) both (not because all lawyers are gay or asses, rather because he just seems like he would be). But he is nice to look at and seems kind of interesting. The second is someone I will basically never see (he works in a different building and I only learned of his existence a month or so ago), but it is nice to know he is out there. Besides being the perfect fit for the family (from what I can tell in googling him he is a chemical engineer and was in the Peace Corps) he graduated from Michigan, and that would be worth it just to piss my sister off (heh, not that I would ever want to piss her off).

It is amazing how something as small as an unrequited, totally for fun crush can impact your quality of life. I am actually much happier now that I have the possibility of running into either of these people in the course of my day. My advice to you all, go find a crush!
