Guy from high school band. He was a senior when I was a sophomore and beyond being nice to me, never gave me the time of day. I'm sure I mooned spectacularly and obviously over him and I would probably die of mortification if I ever ran into him. Still... that's the one I still wish would have noticed me, way back then. I always fell for the unavailable/unattainable ones. I wonder if that was a defense mechanism on my part?
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah. For extra fun they're all The One That Got Away, and forget about the "best revenge" cause I'm this...what do I possibly know about "living well"?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
good luck on private insurance Hil. I was rejected by three different insurers because as a child i had asthma, and migraines in adolescence. Neither were current conditions when i applied. I even kept the FMS diagnosis off my chart entirely but those other two "pre-existing conditions" apparently made me scary enough that no private company would offer me coverage. After being rejected twice, no one else would even talk to me. I have to have a group policy through work.
eta: ymmv. things change. if you're willing to shell out over 1k a month you can probably find something. i'm trying to not make this into a rant about our private health insurance system but it sure is hard to ignore how much the sytem screwed me over when i was young and healthy and not part of group coverage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anybody else have The Crushes That Never Die?
I can't think of any. There are a couple of cases of I wish I had gone out with someone back when, but only back when, and they wouldn't have been long term things.

Compassionately intolerant
I remember having crushes that wouldn't die...but they all seem to have quietly gone on. It that just a function of time passing or my general peace of mind. Probably a combo.
I used to love feeling crushy...but I don't miss it now.
