Cool crushes

[andygates]

You know how you can have a crush that's not romantic at all?  Like how Jeremy Clarkson has a man-crush on Baden Powell and the Dambusters?  I'm cursed with a cool-crush on one rider at the Dun Run - usually riding a bent flying a Jamaican flag, irrepressibly smiley wiry little black messenger chick.  Some irrational bit of my subconscious goes "zomg all ov thee SQUEEE!" whenever I spot her. 

Really embarrassing.

What's worse is that she said "hardcore!" about the kilt, in passing at one of the pub stops.  This is as bad as Baden Powell telling Clarkson his boots were well-polished. 

Please tell me I'm not alone (with Big Jezza) in this.  Confess your personal Fonz!

You can't be all alone in this. I know lots of people who get this way.

I've two myself. I'm not feeling like naming the female I've been crushing on because I'm afraid to break the spell. It's no one on LJ, though. The guy, however, is one of our mailmen. I can barely speak past babble when he's at the window.

They aren't sexual, either. They're two people I find tremendously cool and warm-hearted, and I want to know them better because of it. It's as if being with them would allow me to let the traits I share with them not only come through, but glow.

And the spell is immediately imperiled - friends on forums do know of her, dammit. :/

"Eep," said I, not realizing B was still signed into LJ...

Yeah. That was me, goofball extrodinaire.

Philos methinks, too earthy for agape and not horny enough for eros. I am a fierce-chicks-on-bikes-o-phile.
