Lateral thinking: take this chance to ask for pictures from several men, thereby cleverly hiding your true target.

Oh, you are really good. Okay, guys, let’s see some photos! Please?

I feel like I’m in eighth grade right about now.

Fantasies: I’m not printing those. If you want to know, you have to ask in person, and then I’ll share with those involved. 😉

Crushes: blanket crush on all cute single women. But I will list a _few_ names.

Michelle. Whatever she says about giving up on love, etc, she’s hot. I also like her posts. Next time I go to Florida I want to look her up - just to meet.

Mega the roo. You betcha.

SwimmingRiddles. I’ll be original and skip the “aristocratic beauty” line. Wait, that means I just said it. Doh!

A girl now has me intrigued.

Kat. I owe her a mention in a thread somewhere, might as well be this one. 😉

I’m keeping tabs on dragonlady.

Okay, since he’s absent, I’ll stand in for him.

“WHAT!? You couldn’t tell me while I was here to hear you?”

Um, that reads really funny. Still, I can hear him saying it.

Okay, I’m going to the flirting thread.

Lest anyone think I have nothing better to do on a Saturday morning at 3:30am, which I most certainly do being as inebriated as I am (damn, I hope the spelling and grammar won’t be too bad in this post–the keys continue to allude my finger’s persuasions) I was simply checking my email…yes, that’s it–I’m not an addict. I have finally altered my mind enough to admit, not a fantasy or crush, but a serious intrigue in one _Moderator_. Thus I have inevitably condemned myself to fiery hoofprints of the Invisible Pink Unicorn. Unicorn damned alcohol. If I continue in this vein I may just give Coldfire a run for his money on that superlative. I doubt that I’ve ever used the backspace key so frequently. I apologize for the digression. Although I haven’t been here as a member for more than a couple of months and only lurked for another, I must admit to a serious admiration of the one and only **Gaudere**. You may all commence with chastising me; however, I will blame my guilt on intoxication. Despite my reluctance to be forthright without a preponderence of alcohol, Gaudere, my esteem for you is unaffected and assuredly, most deserved. Again, I apologize, I’m rambling…time for sleep.

My board crush is Alphagene. Well, it WAS Alphagene. Now we’re living in sin - er, living together, so I guess it’s not a crush and it’s not on the board. Um, I guess I don’t have any.

If my contribution to “psychic orgasms” research doesnt score me crushes, Im giving up all hope.

After his naughty love letter, Ive got a biiiiig crush on **Chef Troy**.

But **MadPoet** ’s picture is pretty yummy.

Something about **Coldfire** just…I dunno, gets me.

## Those are the top three, I guess, but I have little crushes on lots of you.

Boy, did my eyes bug out when I read this.

Although it would have been nice if _someone_ had mentioned my name somewhere in this thread. 😉

Hey, mega: let’s join forces and RULE THE BOARD…ahem.

Sorry. Power gets to me. In all seriousness, however, this board has repaired about 75% of the damage to my self-esteem that occured in high school, so thank you all. The compliment does not go un-noticed.

For those of us who would rather keep their crushes shrouded in mystery: [http://cupid.thespark.com/](http://cupid.thespark.com/)

## If your crush lists you as a crush, they tell you both. Never had it work, but hey…
