Top Ten Crushes, everyone! REAL LIFE ONLY. Tomorrow we'll do everyone else.
My top ten as of April 14, 2005:
10. David, because he was related to Jonathan and William, and Kat's infamous quote, "I hate him. *looks over at him* he's so cute."
09. Sergi, because well, he was foreign and had nice hair and wore tight pants. WHAT.
08. Library Boy! Aww, I'd give ANYTHING to know his name. I'd trade the whole thing with Bruce to go back to Norquest and see him every once in awhile.
07. Patrick!! This guy we used to see at concerts and around town who would just pop up at places we went to. He worked at Value Village at one point and I think he lived in The Arlington, which caught on fire twice in one week. I saw him fixing the fence once. I went to a therapist in the building next to The Arlington, I wasn't a stalker or anything, I swear. When we didn't know his name, we called him Jack Sprat. When we first saw him, it was Edgefest and we took a picture of him from far away.
06. Ken, because he's just great and let me sleep in his bed with him after a concert.
05. Kevin the teacher-dude from Partners For Youth. He was the first older man I've ever had a crush on in real life and it was mainly for his personality. He was funny and supportive and I rode on a rollercoaster with him.
04. Edward, because he was one of the only boys from grade 1 - 8 not to be a fuckwad towards me.
03. Jonathan (shut up, Kat). Without Jonathan, I would have never had the chance to crush on William. And it was fun because for a second I thought there was a slight chance he might actually like me back. Personally, I think he did like me back, but was stupid about it.
02. Bruce. I'd rather have the infatuation over the stuff that happened between us any day; except for the kisses. It was fun emailing him and going to school and knowing he didn't know it was me who liked him. It was fun watching him interact with his students while Ken bugged me about it in a cute schoolgirl way.
01. William, of course! I was so in love with him, and everyone that's read this journal from 2001 - 2002 know it. I don't think my crush for him will ever die.
The rejects: Jordan, Keith, Star Wars Guy, Tortured Artist, Tommy Disco, Dirty Jay, Bruce from HS, Kevin, etc.
So this section of the site is dedicated to the idea of infatuation.
songs - this page is a work in progress. I started compiling songs about infatuation a few months ago for a mixed cd, which will hopefully be made when I can pick *the best* songs off this list. For now though, have yourself a look-see and email me if you have another song to add!
