I crush your head!I

[the_siobhan]

I used this subject line already today, but I like it, so I get to re-use it.

My teeth feel mushy. And I can't feel the tips of my fingers at all. I think I'm pissing pure coffee.

Tonight I sleep like no man has ever slept before. *bliss*

I've been watching this crush thing going around my friend's list with a lot of interest. A lot of people are seriously pissed about the pay-to-get-the-list option that has just appeared. I can understand why. "Tell me a secret and then I'll turn around and sell it for profit without warning you up-front that I was going to do it" is pretty skanky. I expect he'll make a lot of money. And get a lot of hate mail.

And as I read about people's opinons and discussion on the subject, I wondered how many people are going to go back and change their answers. And how many will now fill out the quiz, hoping that their crush object will now find out, without having to make a direct declaration.

I filled out the quiz (I fill a lot of quizzes out at work when I'm bored, but I never post the results) but the thing crashed when I hit enter, so my crushes are lost to the universe. No big deal -- my main reason for not telling specific people that I think they are sex on legs is because I don't know for sure that that they won't be made uncomfortable by it. Or that their partner won't be made uncomfortable by it.

If I have a good idea that they'll be flattered, then I'll fire away. I never expect it to be reciprocated, so if it isn't that's fine. And if people can tell that I think they are sex on legs but it never comes up in coversation, well that's fine too.

And having thought about all that, I then went and stuck my own name in there and it says that there are seven people who said they have some kind of a crush on me.

!!!

Well I'll be dipped.

What's weird is that I'd be less uncomfortable by some one (male or female) saying that to me now that I have a parter, than when I didn't. Funny stuff! Maybe it's because it would all be rhetoical anyway. ;)

Although, according to my results, someone once thought I was sex on legs, but doesn't anymore ;P

I'm not really surprised about that "pay now" thing. Have you seen what MSN is doing lately? It's the world we live in; first one's free and all that.

I didn't fill it in the first time around.

Works DNS server doesn't like the IP address (it doesn't like a lot of IP addresses) which is where I tend to fill in stupid things like that.

Which means there are at least 8.

Awwwwww....

As can I. It's a seriously twatty thing to do.

I was actually going to fill in this meme, but before I hit the Ok button the privacy hound in my head decided against it. Seems it was a good call.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

You just didn't want me to find out that you have a crush on me.

(I wonder if it's a bad thing that I'm as boggled by that as I am.)

Raaaar!

(I wonder if it's a bad thing that I'm as boggled by that as I am.)

Nope. Just need to be hit with a 2x4 to see the crush in folks.

Yeah, I'll admit I'm glad I missed it the first time around. I didn't mind filling it in now, knowing that my crushes have the option to pay to find out about it but I would have been frothing at the mouth if I didn't know at the time. Especially since I was much more careful about who I admitted to crushing on now than I would have been when I thought I had the safety of anonymity. :p

Btw 'sex on legs' is one of the best compliments evah...

safety of anonymity

On the internet?! I'm very defensive of my privacy, but wasn't too worried about this - actually I thought it rather enterprising. (I just wish I could recall who I chose, just in case there's any cause for embarrassment).

I was wondering exactly that same thing, actually... according to the FAQ (http://euthanize.us/memes/crushmeme2/faq.php), the data snapshot was taken on 9th October, so such silliness is not going to get people very far. I'm still curious as to how many people will do so, not having seen the FAQ...

I also have to confess a slight case of the giggles at this from the FAQ: "You've ruined my life because my husband found out that I have a secret crush on his best friend! What do I do?
Boo Fucking Hoo. You probably shouldn't have been putting that information out on the internet, huh? Feel free to complain here, or just buy your husband's results here."

Yes, it was a very skanky thing to do... but you've got to grant that zie's got a point. *shrug*

And then there's those of us who didn't see it "flying around our friends page" three weeks ago as the results site claims, which seems a pretty naively self-centered assumption.

I was in France when it went around.
Thus, I have 0 for everything.

Yeah, most people don't read FAQs.

I'm pretty sure the original quiz said nothing about keeping the results private. The participants just assumed.

Can I be sex on toast with a side salad?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

You are sex in a hat.

[squid-pants.livejournal.com]

Is the hat toasted?

[emulsional.livejournal.com]

First of all, you could have been my big sister with that picture. I'll have to show you some of mine sometime- it's surreal.

To the point though, I don't understand why anyone needs a meme to get their crushes out there. I can't remember a time when I talked to a friend about whatever crush I had without them digging into him for information, in varying degrees of subtlty, to find out what he thought of me. Although, it could just be that I've always had friends who are very interested in getting me laid, but whatever. I still don't get the whole friendster thing either...

I suppose the only benefit would be to feel the ego boost when you find out that 7+ people out there are sweet on you!

[starstraf.livejournal.com]

I'm one of the seven

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

*blink*

Oh wow.

Cool!

(Well, smack me with a clue-by-four...)

[theferrett.livejournal.com]

See, I'd probably have one, but my only image of you is as a large angry punk cartoon mammal. And I'm not a furry, soo....

[bar-bar-ella.livejournal.com]

I ask you - how could anyone *not* have a crush on you? Hm? ;)

[blackavar.livejournal.com]

Well, Siobhan, I think we *all* know very clearly that you're sex on legs, *grin* I don't think I put you on my list, though.

Okay, I've now got a new phrase, heh.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

You people are seriously fucking with my image of myself.

[blu-muse.livejournal.com]

Ya know, I never filled it out, but just to screw with your self perception even more, I'd probably have a crush on you too if I were to meet you in person. We've certainly bounced around the same circles enough and I know enough about you to respect you. Any chick who can pull off a rad mohawk [I've seen photos!], has the good taste in music that you do, and has the dedication and heart to put on some awesome events for the pure love of it can will me over any time ;) Plus Steph says awfully good things about you...hehe!

[ex-unagothae16.livejournal.com]

I'm not filling it in, but you are sex on legs.
And I'm not a shy bunny rabbit about saying so because it isn't likely that I'll be in close enough proximity for my opinion to make you uncomfortable.

[the-icequeen.livejournal.com]

I've added you.
Why?
Well...
#1 because you are from Ontario...and so am I. It's nice to have other Ontarians (Canadians for that matter) on my friends list, so at least SOMEONE knows what I mean when I use the word "touque", or "eh"
#2 Because you work these God awful mind numbing midnight shifts...and so do I. (misery loves company you know)
#3 What I've read in your journal so far is interesting, and I'd like to read more.
