I’m (hopefully) a recovering jerk.
I’ve spent some considerable amount of time today utilizing the Chapters feature of my OD Plus subscription. For anyone who cares: 2001 and 2002 have all been made Favorites Only. I don’t know why anyone would want to look at them, but I used to be a pretty big jerk (especially with romantic relationships and not really acknowledging other peoples’ feelings) and don’t want them sitting there for just anyone to see. I don’t want to have tons of private entries either, so there you go. Reading all of that old stuff makes me want to shake my 16-year-old self, but I guess part of being a teenager is being terribly annoying.
That just means that I have my senior year of high school, all of college, and the time I’ve been back from California to put into chapters. I’m not sure how many more years I’ll move over to Favs Only, but we’ll see. Having close to 1100 entries total takes a lot of time to organize.
I haven’t been up to much today. I’m still sick, and am staying in bed with a desperate hope that I’ll be magically cured before I have to go into work tomorrow. Going to work while sick sucks in any respect, but I guess it’s better than going with a terrible hangover. Uhhmm… yeah.
Question: Is it worse to have a crush on someone in a super-committed relationship, or someone you haven’t exactly met in person? it isn’t really a very important topic.
So, am I the only person in the world that didn’t know that Scrubs wasn’t ending, but was just switching networks?! For some reason my ignorance about that really bothers me. I did watch the first 2 episodes of the new season and think that the show has pretty much run its course. What else can they really do? I like to imagine how House might operate on that set.
And yeah, I feel pretty gross today. Yesterday for the orientation I just rolled out of bed in the clothes I wore the night before, put on a dirty hoodie, grabbed my messenger bag and went downtown. It would have been fine except the guys at the orientation were in suits and the women were wearing heels. I guess, as a worker for the Parks and Recreation Dept., I’m expected to be dirty and casual (doesn’t "Dirty and Casual" sound like a great band name, or trendy… perfume or handbags or something?) I’m still wearing the same shirt, and am beginning to think I might need to take a shower sometime soon-ish. Or at least before work tomorrow. Heck, I don’t have anyone to impress.
Well, I’m running out of energy. If anyone knows of any secret cures for what’s ailin’ me, feel free to let me know (nothing illegal please, unless I’m likely to get away with it AND you won’t blackmail me later).
1. Orange juice does wonders for an achy/cold/fluish type sickness. Really. 2. I thought this past season of Scrubs should have been its last. Don’t get me wrong; I love the show but you’re so very right when you say it’s run its course. If the only thing they’re waiting on is getting JD and Elliott together, they could feasibly wrap that up in one episode. 3. I met Brian on the Internet ! I had a huge crush on him before we met. I’d say that’s better. And slightly healthier for your mind, I’m guessing. 4. Have I mentioned I love your diary yet? 🙂

I think it depends on whether or not you’re the type to act upon a crush. I’m not, so for me, having a crush on someone in a committed relationship would be better cuz they’re there, so the crush is fun, and I don’t act upon crushes, so it doesn’t matter – whereas someone far away would be a frustrating crush. But if you do tend to act upon crushes, it would be better to have a crush on someonefar away, so you don’t ruin someone’s relationship, or create an awkward situation. *nod* I have all my old entries from 2001 – 2005 all open to the public and some of them are really horrible. I guess I figure the only people who are going to go back and read those will hopefully read ALL of me and know who I really am and won’t judge me by that? One can hope.

-depends on how unattainable each person is. I was head over heals for your brother before I even met him… and we turned out great 🙂

That’s a moral dilemma and a half. So that would be a 1.5 dilemma then. If the person in the relationship is super committed to it and there’s no hope of anything happening then obv the other option is best as no one is unobtainable…even the unmet.
