excessively hard-working

050905

bad fairy If you want #2 you can have him. You're just too scared to believe it and so is he. Trust me on this one. Find a non-threatening way to let him know you care. Something that doesn't put him under any pressure but is unambiguous. The old, "accidental" discovery of your true feelings trick is choice here, leaving a diary lying around, that sort of thing... 050906
...
... #2

standing around outside talking to some friends
and every time i glance over him he's somewhat looking in my direction, but not really - it's just my imagination
just standing around awkwardly (laughing, talking too loudly), being acutely aware of his presence five feet away
[i nearly never see him, and when i do he doesn't even acknoledge me.. sigh]


there's no fuckin' way i can have him, even if i wanted

sighs

fuck
fuck
FUCK!
i'm so not falling again
someone took his seat, so he sat beside me
talked to him for an hour and a half

fuck
i hate this
i love how he's so nonchalant or whatever
acts like he doesn't care about anything in the world

bad fairy Okay, now I can't keep using my powers to make someone occupy his seat every day or I'll get in trouble with Auberon. You're going to have to work with me here... 050914
...
... grumble grumble mumble grumble
coulda given me some kinda warning... sheesh...

have you got assassins or something? a one-way ticket to somewhere really cool? that'd work...
050914
...
... hmm... oberon had a love potion too, didn't he?
heh heh heh
050914
...
bad fairy Uh, yeah but...just be careful who you wake up next to if you're going to be messing with that stuff. 050915
...
... ah, shit
i'd forgotten about that aspect
arranging a way to wake up next to him might be a bit awkward

i hate this logistical difficulties
050915
...
... ooh, i gots it
so you get a big fuckin' hammer
give him an eetle tap on the head
do the flower thing
lock him in a soundproof closet for a while

and ta da!

the nights child is that it?
Has my collection come to an end?
Just when I seemed on the brink of a wonderful new hunting expedition, it all ground to a halt and now there is a giant hand poised to put the lid on this jar of mine.
Tyring hard not to feel it, but not sure that there isn't a few slithers of regret seeping into my mind.

geeky outgoing-type guy
pwned the orienteering meet
likes nerdcore and really bad movies
hmm...
051003

somebody kill him for me
sheesh.
bastard.
this would be so much easier if i could convince myself i didn't care about him

reminds me of ivan
slow smiling type

but no.
051110

i'm not getting over him
please, soon
i /like/ him
it scares me
051121

i'm one eighth over him, and ecstatic
i don't understand why he's so inconsistent, why he talks to me, why anything
but yay!
051124
...
... #8, #15
have since acquired girlfriends

not that it makes a difference or anything
060103
...
... #17

added to collection march-ish 2003
smart, nerd, cute-ish, 19-turning-20, friend-of-a-friend
sarcastic, ish
good with computers

he's been wandering in and out of the collection for a few years now
currently in, but never stays there for more than a few days
my favorite crush ever, on some levels
i casually stalked him for three months in grade 9 because i liked his science project
060103
...
... #18

very w00t - bouncy, happy, outgoing, friendly, insanely likeable
as in literally bouncy, jumping up and down happily

hangs out with the anime club crowd, wearing a suit "because that's what i put on this morning"

definitely cool squared, but doesn't really matter
have a class with him, w00t!
060116
...
... #19

different-looking guy
"i was like whoa"
dark-haired, looks interesting but reserved
he's probably not very fascinating, just a punk type or something

but when he walked into physics lab i was like whoa
060116
...
... #2

i was depressed over him within 2 hours of walking into school, 1 hour of seeing him for the first time in a month, ish

a new record.

*/me got pwned.*
060116
...
... #18

my first impression of him was not entirely correct

he's genuinely sweet, considerate, seems oddly innocent and unreal
says "i look good, but i have no substance.. at least i hope i look good"
he does

but at the same time he does have substance...
he's not alternately outgoing and serious, I don't think... he's just genuine

i really really like him, just because he's so intensely likeable
in a friendly-like way, i don't think he necessarily belongs on this list
060119
...
... #19

conclusion: good-looking, definitely
very.
that's it though
060119
...
unhinged that i have a set of completely platonic relationships with

2956 n cramer st.

it's a weird but typical thing for me to have. i don't tend to have many friends that are girls.

syrope #26
-has hands i could lose myself in
-doesn't want to talk about his past

halo.
smart, ish
software-engineer-in-training-to-be
my friend claims he's good-looking, but i'm not sure

curly brown hair, constantly slightly unshaven, nice smile, ish

overall, not a bad guy
060214
...
... #6

not good-looking
not actually malicious, but I get very bad vibes from him

feel stupid around him because he plays the stupid guy vs smart girl a lot.
incompatible personality
060214
...
... #21

intellectually drop-dead gorgeous
not like #2, #2 is a fucktard compared to this guy
#2 is a fucktard, period, but I digress.

i can't talk to him though, he sets up roadblocks
outside of my circle, not enough intersection to start a conversation
it's bloody depressing... i need really smart people to talk to, and nobody else qualifies

damn lack of social skills [on both sides, really]
:(

060216
...
... #18

seems to have dropped most of the classes i had with him, or just quit showing up
a bit of an academic delinquent, though he's (seemingly) friends with everyone
i never see him anymore

too bad... he's cool.

*feels stupid now*

::description attempt, mk II

both hair and attitude slightly spiky
chinese
doesn't read [except manga]
going into electrical engineering
gadget geek
thinks he's cool.
prone to cursing profusely, though with limited scope [lol wtf?]
not nice.
very much concerned with pwnage
laughs at things a lot [lol, wtf?]

smart
academic cred, so to speak
normal's an insult to him
being one of the top x% [10? 5?] is taken for granted

hangs out with the testosterone crowd, the guys who have wrestling matches in the hallways
he doesn't participate, just watches ans laughs [lol, wtf? pwned!]

concerned with image.
which is the best argument ever why he'd never like me.
yeah.
i ain't got image; image is shit.
score 1 for the good side.

doesn't mind absurdity
camera-shy
a real sweetheart

boy number 2:
a brainiac
an athlete
a gentleman
wants to be a doctor
makes me feel like I'm lazy

boy number 3:
a computer geek
bit of a perv
actually talks to me
wears glasses
nice when not around his friends
060304
...
... #2

I figured out why he talks to me, why he'll randomly blather to me about stuffs, ask me questions
finally.
It was when we went into a discussion of the smart people in our year, and I asked him for his master list of really smart people that he knew

"just you"

fuck...
that's it, then.
that's all there is
that's all I've got...

and it's not worth shit
damn.
060315

... (cont'd)
he likes that i can occasionally come up with brilliant solutions to problems he's been trying to solve for hours

and am a good reference

he's disappeared completely
seems to have acquired a girlfriend, lucky girl

too bad...
060325
...
... #19

i still fucking hot
but is also a bit of a fucktard, thinks he's much more intelligent than he really is

he's like #2
but funnier, better-looking, same level of confidence but less basis for it

not really that enigmatic, just tries to look it

loudinkpink his name was avery banks cousins and he could usually be found somewhere around campus watching people and celebrating their differences. The two of you both came upon breakdancers one day on the pavement outside the library and watched for a while. he took pictures then the two of you joined in and the b-boys taught you things. you talked to them. you with your social anxiety talked and danced with them. there was something in his brown eyes that caught you. He would look intently. Sometimes he would just start talking like this. he was always coming up with 'what if's.' He got food that was still good out of dumpsters at the local supermarket--fruit, vegetables, salad, bread. He played guitar with the strings facing up and never any chords--just strumming rhythms with his whole hand. one time at allison's apartment with all the alternative people there, he did that and asked clay to drum on the edge of the guitar. clay backed away after a minute and avery said 'no that's great' so clay started again and that music--untraditional as it was--created the most incredible energy--like a tribe--and everyone ended up joining in in some way. when it was over, he just asked "did you feel that energy" and i have no doubt--everyone in that room felt it
and we were drunk with it
and something immortal had happened.

he.
got.
it.

referred to as #19 once, but isn't

cutefriendsolderbrother

I like him, whenever I see him
he told me I rock, because I listen
he's a million years older than me
he has a girlfriend on another continent

he's cute, intense, geeky
looks at you in the eyes and has a nice smile

but really he's not that great I guess

... #23

the most fucking hot person I have ever met

he does math
he is fucking hot
he is good at math
he is hot
has an amazing smile
juggles
he is really good at math
he is three years older than me
he is a camp person -- guys look up to him, girls adore him, everyone wants him on their team

after two days of being around him, he began to grate on my nerves... he juggles too much (seven balls is impressive, but every set of 3 or more round things does not need to be juggled)
he likes attention
he's kind of arrogant

i'll probably be seeing him around a bit next year... not sure if that's a good thing or not yet

probably meaningless
060728
...
... #24

doesn't necessarily belong here.... but meh
co-staff
nice guy, outgoing
talks a lot to my listen
kind of... maudlin is the wrong word, but overly "sincere", begins to get repetitive after a while, grates a little

i fear i'm going to be spending a lot of time helping him
he's real, though, I think, and there's little enough of that around
060728

... holy crap.
i was gonna stop this, I swear.

but... um...
he's the perfectest guy ever.
well, he's not.
but he's the archetypical nice geek... brilliant, nice, and shit.

I'm so dead.
060915

pSyche #4 He changed alot over the summer.

Yearbook photographer.

Funny, suave, cute, and friendly- out of my league.

He's dating an older girl.

Asks me for money to buy starbursts from the vending machine, and i wish he wouldn't because he makes me realize I'm lonely.

Probably my biggest crush yet far.
060915
...
... okay... #25 or whatever..
mr. perfect
who's really nice and smart and awesome and... um... stuff
been obsessing over him for, er, 4 days now.

I just realised he's gay
Fuck, eh?
At least that solves that problem ;)
060918
...
... that sounded bad.

The guy rocks. Like woah. I should just shut the fuck up.
060918
...
drreerasgs "oh come on! ...I was only being facetious" 060918
...
... okay, he's actually gay
like not maybe he's gay

so i should not be obsessed with him, eh?
he rocks so much.
but obviously i have no chance... i mean, even if he weren't i wouldn't..

perhaps i should stop questioning and enjoy this momentary happiness while it lasts.

fuck so pretty so pretty so pretty so nice so smart.

makes me feel crazy.

I asked him out all awkward, he said yes, we made out on the couch

boy #27 and the first one I asked out, kissed, fucked

we stay in bed until 4pm

he eventually figures out he only wants sex, it turns out I'm not supposed to be crazy about him. too late.

still fucking him though. Almost certainly unwise.

next!

... #28

A little (a lot?) emotionally distant. He keeps a lot of people at arm's length. I find it difficult.

he's quiet. smart. funny. A little older.

He treats his friends and family well, is trustworthy, and says exactly the right thing sometimes. Has a nice smile.

what else could I want, right?
