The “girl on the street” in the Laughing Cow cheese commercials. A lot of it is her attitude.

[raised hand to high-five a guy walking past]  
“Up high, sir!”  
[he walks by, totally ignoring her]  
“Awesome.”

I have the tiniest crush on a new coworker I’ve known all of nine days. After pondering his behavior for a few days I’ve finally decided that he is flirting, and that’s kind of nice. But I don’t know how old his is (young than me, I’m pretty sure, but I don’t know how by much) and nice guys who even - no make that especially - have girlfriends flirt with me. sigh.

A coworker in my floor, who tall and beautiful and kinda floats around everywhere looking sad. I couldn’t stop thinking about why she looked so sad. But I found out at a party that, thats the way she always looks. She looked more beautiful when she was actually smiling.  
Aagh.

Back page of current magazine, Newport cigarette ad. There’s a blond guy squeezing mustard onto a (potato chip? I’m not sure) in a girl’s hand. He nice. Purrrrrrr.

Oh, I wanted to add the beautiful Jennifer Morrison, who plays Dr. Cameron on _House_. Though that crush is less in the “fleeting” camp and more in the “I’d drink her bathwater” camp.

Same situation here, only I work at a major southern university!

If it’s fleeting, it must be lust! Ha!

Yeah, well I’m the guy who didn’t realize the waitresses were different in The Office episode “[A Benihana Christmas](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0908674/)” until I’d seen it about 5 times. When I said “I don’t think those are the same actresses” my wife looked at me like she’d died a little inside.

My sister’s long time friend, Amanda. Also a long time friend’s sister. I dont know how fleeting it is, however, because it frequently comes back to me.

That is exactly, I mean _exactly_, my problem. Whitney, mentioned upthread, is only one of about 7 (10? 12?) women in a design history lecture I took this spring who, in their own little ways, just kill me.
