i have a new crush..

well maybe not new but a reaffirmation of a lifelong crush. I'm watching a movie called Must Love Dogs and I just remembered how much I adore John Cusack and why he's my favorite actor.

The recipe for TLA is as follows:
2 parts quick wit
1 part self-deprecating humor
1 part soulful brown eyes

    ugh, i don't need this crush! but lately, i've been thinking about two people. both of them live in texas (one in houston, other in san antonio). and i live in another state. i previously attended college with one, and the other used to live in my town. both of them were in relationships when i was single, and now one of them may become single again soon. but i wish i wasn't having these feelings! i'm a relationship right now!

    on top of that, one of my crushees is the same-sex as i, which is very confusing, because i've had tiny inner hints that i might be bi, but have never acted upon it. oh, and she's married.

    ack! here's hoping it's just a fleeting fancy!

      Well, on balance, which is better--the ongoing relationship or the crush? Some of us just experience limerence a lot...but you have to learn when your crush is legitimate and possible and when it is wishful thinking or avoidance of issues in the current relationship.

      Monogamy is silly. Have you asked your current partner how he would feel if you were with a girl? My husband says he wouldn't mind if I were to date a girl, but alas, I'm more straight than I would like to be, so the "right" girl hasn't come my way YET... My estrogen must be kicking in or something, its been a loooooong while since I've had a crush on a girl, I'm envious.

        Actually, speaking of unwanted crushes, I should be careful what I wish for. I have a couple at work, one VERY crush-worthy engineer has joined the team, too bad I'm both taken AND work with him. He's downright dreamy, seriously, if I were to make a list of my turn ons, he's got every damn one. The other is kind of a half crush on two different guys. One actually knows I swing, (rarely!) but I'm SO not going there. The other guy is just really interesting.

        I just can't help it, I'm into smart guys and I work at a company that makes robots! There was this one temp that was sort of sexually harassing me- and when my boss asked me and anther co worker what we thought of hiring him on permanently I told him about his odd behavior. I call it odd because I'm not sure if he was harassing me or if he was just weird, because it was more the later than the former. And my boss said "I don't really get the impression he's your type" and I thought in my head "please don't let it get out that I'm into smart quiet nerdy guys"

        But this guy isn't nerdy at all, and aside from being smart, and playing bass, he's the anti-alex. Which is perfect because its part of our open marriage deal is that he has veto power and he prefers that I date guys who are nothing like him. If I met him ANYWHERE else I'd be shamelessly throwing myself at him. Hee hee hee... Alex is safe this time!!! *sigh*

        Actually, I don't think monogamy is silly but really if you're going to choose a monogamous relationship, you should make sure that your partner is of the same frame of mind. I think some people are predispositioned to be monogamous and some have a polyamorous inclination. The problems happen when two partners are incompatible with their preference.

        I,too, am envious. I haven't had a girlcrush since Angelina started adopting.. : (

          Have I ever got a polyamourous inclination, woooo..... I got married way to young. About 2 months before our wedding we saw "the people vs larry flint" and it kept me awake and I woke my husband up in the middle of the night to tell him I didn't think I could be monogamous for the rest of my life and he said, "I didn't think we would be monogamous". SO HE WAS WARNED! I've only been on about 5 dates in the past two years of our marriage being officially open. So I don't exactly abuse it too much. Just at Burning Man. Thats agreed upon. One week of single hood! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!

          Anyway, I just found out my new crush rides his skateboard to work, he needs to stop being so perfect for me and soooo taboo. Or build me a damn time machine, he's an engineer after a. I love engineers, mechanical and robotics and civil engineers are so hot. I don't know why those disciplines and not CS have all the hotties, but they do.
