Chocolate is the only item deserving of a hidden shrine.

Darn, that's good. Note to self, must build hidden chocolate shrine.

*bows down to the chocolate god*

[Alarra]

That would be Nim.

[Rawhide]

So, Zeb. We want photos of your pudding shrine.

The chocloate god is called Cadbur

I would argue the point, but we're not supposed to discuss religion on here, now, are we?

Taking this discussion on chocolate to Random Banter.

[Dragonrider]

Yessir!

(I thought about maintaining that we're discussing my crush on the God of Chocolate, but frankly that's a little far-reaching, even for me. Plus, crushing chocolate is just a pity and to be honest, I didn't have the heart to contemplate it.)

[sktarq]

Funny I thought crushing chocolate just made a sticky, gooey mess of your deriere....


also Don't let it get in your wounds....It can stain you for decades at least.




right....point of thread....still no GitP crushes....few people I wouldn't mind meeting....but not even what I'd label as attraction....but highly amused by the bunch of you that can....and happy for you....silly posters.

I have this odd habit of mulling over two completely different things for some time and then suddenly having them come together to make a profound whole. This time, I've been thinking about a scene in Adaptations, and also a long-term crush I had (and, admittedly, still have) for a guy in high school. In the scene, the main character and his brother are talking about a girl the latter liked in school. He talked to her, then as he left she said something nasty about him to her friends. The main character says something to the effect of "she thought you were a dork, she hated you", to which he responded along the lines of "I loved her. That was mine. There was nothing she could do to take that away from me."
I was just musing upon what might happen if I had told this guy how much I liked him. I realised that, indeed, no matter what he'd said or done, I'd still have liked him. He couldn't change that. It was almost independent of him. Of course, it's helped by the fact that I always knew we'd make a horrible couple (no common interests and all that)... still. <.< Well, it was a profound revelation for me, anyway, and I thought it kinda belonged here...

[Syka]

I can see that. I had a crush on a guy for two years, even though he was a bit of a donkey's behind. It finally started to disappate when the donkey behind behavior began to affect me, but I still had liked him. *shrug* Can't always help crushes.

At the moment...still no crushes. Unless you count a slight one on Michael Westin (main character in Burn Notice), or one of the electrician guys who came yesterday. Although...those are more "admiring looks" than crushes...;) Though...I do have the guys cell number. I think he might have been more interested in my sis...but she's got a boyfriend.

How do I keep ending up getting personal contact info for the guys who have been working on our house? Hehe...

Cheers,
Syka

That would certainly be an interesting basis for a relationship. Stranger things HAVE happened...

[FdL]

Darnnnnn, I lost my post when DSL went down.

Well that's right, is an interesting contribution to discussing the very notion of a crush. It's not rational at all. You can well have a deep crush on some jerk or an awful person. But it doesn't make it weaker. It's really weird. It's a strong, gutsy thing in its inception, related to attraction, wishful thinking and obsession.

[sktarq]

@^ then we'd get into the whole what is a crush versus and infatuation.

[zeratul]

Anyone else think it would be fun and hillarious for someone to start a thread for people to post their celebrity crushes?

[Dragonrider]

get old pretty fast.

I don't know... I think that any attraction to celebrities falls under "infatuation" for me. My definition is that infatuation is less serious, but I don't know, because they're all kind of used interchangably....and is a crush that lasts two years honestly a crush or is it more serious than that? Or does it depend on the situation.

guess it doesn't really matter what you call it. They're all just made up words anyway

hmm, I had always used the word crush to describe the same thing you use to describe an infatuation. The scale generally used by me would go (if one wanted to do three parts) 1.crush 2. like 3. love .

[Jibar]

I can sum up any Celebrity Crush thread.

OP: So, which celebrities have you got a crush on?

Me: Avril Lavigne!

*Everyone is scared away from the thread.*

Jibar, I was just about to say something about how we all knew yours would be 'ol Avril, but there you go simu ninja-ing me.

Do you really want to see "Angelina Jolie" 1000 times?

My scale is not 1-3. Mine goes to 11.

[Dragonrider]

any explanation for that bizarrely random number?

[Shadow]

Only 11?
Mine goes much higher than that, unfortunately.

[Logic]

any explanation for that bizarrely random number?

It's a reference to This is Spinal Tap. I want to explain, but it will either
A) be condescending

or

b) ruin a hilarious part of a funny movie.

So, go watch it! Logic dictates you do so!

Well my scale took 5 seconds to make. If I had more time, I could make a better one, but that woul require work now wouldn't it?
