Christ! Either iā€™m not very present on this board, or my crushableness has slipped! As one of the songs goes on a mix tape I haveā€¦ ā€œI hope you know, iā€™m not gonna take it anymoreā€¦ā€ Hereā€™s my list: **Nen** - His wife is a lucky gal. Not only do I have a crush on him, but I lust after him. Nen is my current married man crush. **dpr** - Everyone should have a crush on him. Not only is he one of the nicest guys iā€™ve met on the boards and in chat, but heā€™s offered to let me crash at his place if I ever visit Australia. **Oldscratch** - He just rocks. He also likes my shirt selection, and he says I smell nice. Whatā€™s not to like? **Zyzzyva** - I mention him cause heā€™s so handsome, and prettiest eyes on a male doper. And for the loser Nymysys who didnt even mention meā€¦ _sniff, sniff_ **Nymysys** - Though she neglected to mention me, i still crush on her cause sheā€™s cool, calls me ā€œDoobie babyā€, and is so icily evil, that she makes me get all bothered and stuff. **Rasa** - Cause sheā€™s absolutely rad, since she told me just about everything about herself in the thread I started for her. And, sheā€™s trading sides to become a west-coast doper. **Democritus** - Itā€™s been over a year since me and him became friends through the board. He still makes me all tingly cause as he said drunkenly at the BBQ, ā€œyouā€™re like my friendā€. ---

Ah thereā€™s so many, **Eve** I really like the way you say things. **DDG** for just being almost everywhere. **Kelli** again its the writing I havenā€™t seen **neurotrashgrrrl** about for way too long, used to enjoy her wit. **PLG** is something of a heroine too. **Ayesha** has to put up with so much and does it with much better grace than I ever would. **Byz** Love it when you get mad, definately near the top of my ā€˜do not approach when annoyed listā€™ **Wring** Anyone who has to deal with the sort of folk that she does and yet still retains a sense of humour has to be on my favourites list. ---

Thereā€™s a girl at my school- unbearably sexy. Sheā€™s into music and whatnot, and sings/plays sax in a ska band, making her more attractive. Plus I spend lots of time around her, cause weā€™re both into the drama scene. Sheā€™s friendly, fun, HOT. **But:** 1. Sheā€™s older than me. 2. I doubt she even considers me as the kind of person sheā€™d date Andā€¦uhā€¦ Oh well. Sigh. 1. She has a boyfriend. ---
