I have a crush on **Spiny Norman**. I keep going to the Poofy pages just to look at his picture…_sigh_ ---

I’m serious. I have a list. Prepare for length. ~that guy I see on campus in this army green trench coat. Yum! Long blonde hair, “I can take on the world” attitude, black finger nail polish…oh my. I love freaks. ~James. I guess he qualifies as a crush. And just about everything else. _sigh_ ~My beloved DRY, though that may be different than a crush by now, but he’s a sweetie so he’s on my list too. ~Ad Noctum, who I swear is my punishment for seducing older guys when I was underage. (and he has the BEST grin) ~Silent\_Rob, who I IM simply to get the discription of his day. Such a facinating, bright and amazing person. ~Minor crush on that Dan guy I keep running into at a friend’s house. He’s a sweet guy, so there is my usual fear that I’ll hurt him. But he’s a cutie. And now, from my breeze through the people pages: ~astrangefish…drool. ~Chef Troy and he can cook. oh my. ~Democritus…very cute grin. I love grins. ~Esprix…what? he’s what?!? damn. whimper. ~HomeSlice…check out the eyes! ~Kilgore Trout…hottie. ~Maeglin…adorable and a gamer. sigh. ~Mr. Cynical…so its me and my grin thing. ~Nen…what a beautiful face. I’m in awe. ~Omniscient…wow, playful with just enough sincerity to be trusted. ~Spoofe bo diddly…_soft smile_ ~SkySlash…yet another Doper whose pic took my breath away. ~Seriousart…so I don’t always need grins. Amazing eyes and a tiny scruffle of beard do fine. More than fine. [sub]And now all of you can be horrified or whatever. (More likely bored at this point.) I’ll go back to my desperate, loveless, empty life now. I’m glad I was able to share.[/sub] ---

Actually, I do have a crush on a local actor (intelligent, good-looking, stable), except it’d never work out. He’s… [sub]married. Very married. Very devoted. Sigh. Pine. Mope.[/sub] ---

I’m not allowed to have a crush, being married…but I wouldn’t mind having one on a certain lady who lives in Ireland and supports Celtic. Well, that should give it away then… ---

I had to whimper for a mistletoe smooch, and no one has a crush on me either. \ Just kidding. Not that I’d blame anyone for not having a crush on me. I’m serious. Have you seen my pic? 😉 I’m too broken-hearted to have a crush on anyone else at the moment. Maybe after a little healing time I can admit my crush on a certain other doper. Just a sorta random thought, all of **Serendipity** ’s posts catch my eye, but she has a crush on someone else. I just think she’s super sweet though, and thought here would be a great place to say that. Of course, you’re all super sweet, and I can’t believe none of you have a crush on **Odie**. He seems like such a nice guy,… for a canadian. ---

**Simetra!** I thought it went without saying, sweetie! Besides, **I** think you’re beautiful, without even having seen your picture. ---

Ok I am studiously _not_ thinking about that, **Sim**. _ahem_ And **Jack Batty** , welcome to my crush list. Further proof that most of the good ones are taken. [sub]In a totally sweet and innocent, hi Mrs. Batty sort of way, of course![/sub] 😉 ---

The squeaky wheel really does get the grease, I guess. I can’t divulge my crushes as it makes me feel too guilty. But I will attempt to list a few dopers who I may or may not have a platonic crush on. **Rasa** (obviously) **Oldscratch** (can’t have one without the other) **Sassy slackergirl woodstockbirdybird Kayla Sue Duhnym Zenster Snooooopy Ender Bottle of Smoke Crunchy Frog Coldfire UncleBeer Punoqllads Biggirl Welfy andygirl Andyman struuter Esprix spritle Ukulele Ike Omniscient Democritus psycat** Ok, so this is less a crush thread than just a favorite dopers thread, but I’ve never participated in one of these before so I just had to let it hang, as they say. The thing that sucks, is I’m sure I’m leaving a ton off the list, and I’m going to feel hoorible when they show up and say, “WTF?”, but this is the best I can get my brain to function at the moment. ---

Last summer I was introduced to a guy from Dublin who was living in NC for a year. He was just my type - funny, smart, soft-spoken, gentle, tall, longhaired, a bass player!, and downright fine - but I didn’t fall for him because he was about to move back to Ireland. But we’ve kept in touch on a regular basis and his mails are always sweet and full of longing to return to the States. About a month ago, I was talking about him to a friend and suddenly realized: I had a huge crush on this guy! It was a bittersweet revelation since there’s no telling if and when he’ll move back to the U.S. but there’s hope - I booked a flight for Dublin today! Yours with crossed fingers, R-n-R ---

Tymp. Darling. Of _course_ I’m loyal to your list. That Batty dude doesn’t really exist, as we’re trying to establish in another thread. I just had to appease him, y’know? He’s from Maine, and you know how those Maniacs can get. And, you know, returning an email now and again might help said list status… 😉 ---

You have the best timing – I needed a smile right about now. 🙂 Besides, who says the crush list (OK, so it wasn’t really a list, so much as a profession of adoration for **Twisty** and an unnamed guy at my school) I posted was comprehensive? You’re definitely one of my SDMB crushes, silly! How could you doubt that? ::hugs and kisses for Sim:: I might as well come clean about a couple of other crushes (but not all of them) while I’m here… **Chef Troy** , **Ad Noctum** , **Esprix** … You three can add me to your legions of fans. ---
