if you knew already it was a pointless crush, you can still keep it, you know.
Once boy is committed, I can't. Even if I wanted to. It's not a ethical thing, it's just... if I genuinely feel like it's a Good Thing (which I do in this instance) it kills any romantic interest*. So I suppose I'm mourning the crush more than the boy. Still feel entitled to mope, though.
Poor wee little crush. It was such a pleasant diversion. RIP.
*You might ask, "So why didn't the fact that he was dating the now-fiancee kill it?" Answer: Because he wasn't dating her. Because he's mad. Which is why I had a crush. Long story.
ita -- ooh. I can't believe nobody told me. I'll have to look for reruns. How was it spelled?

Oh, totally. Moping is often appropriate at the end of a crush.
Shane was in front of me at the concession stand. He's half-douchebag, half-monkey, and fear not, he's smoking again.
That is a beautiful sentence.
Another sentence I love, from my box of spanikopita: "Have several packages of Spanakopita available in the freezer for emergencies." Yeah, you never know when you'll have an
hors d'oeuvre emergency!!1!

Hors d'oeuvre emergencies are nothing to laugh at Jesse. Things can get ugly when there's no finger food!
How was it spelled?
Not ita, but it was spelled
"Striga"
.
Heh -- that's just exactly it.
Oh, and I kicked ass at asking how to get to the library. And the swimming pool.
Porque vas al hospital?
Parce que j'avais le salmonella très mauvaises. Pour une semaine total. On my honeymoon.
Istah!
That's incredibly fun to say.
Hebrew is read left to right too, right?
Right to left.
When I was in Israel, I picked up a bit of Israeli slang. (There were a few Israelis along on the trip, and during the longer bus rides, they'd teach us an Israeli word of the day.) The only two words I remember now are Yalla and Sababa, both of which I'm pretty sure were originally Arabic. (Well, I know Yalla is Arabic. I think Sababa is.)
(Heh. We also learned a word for "chaos," and it was a fun word to say, something like ba'agan, but I can't remember it. I tried looking it up in my Hebrew-Englilsh dictionary, but the only entry for "chaos" is "tohu v'bohu," which, not so helpful. That's the biblical phrase that's translated as "null and void" in the Creation account in Genesis.)

Actually, I do believe this. But in my own life, American cheese suffices. No need for mulitple boxes of frozen spanikopita.
Thanks, Sail. I didn't remember how it was spelt, once I realised it wasn't, you know, spelt right.
Strega, I think you're doing precisely the right thing for this stage in crush-death.
Finding a new crush can be tricky, but I'm sure it'll be okay when you're ready. Don't rush these things.
He wasn't dating her? He proposed to someone he just knew? Huh.
Uh, who's Shane?
