wow...that was totally one of those things that i really DIDN'T need to know...ever. some definitions: CRUSH: a short-lived and unrequited love, infatuation, or limerence prevalent among anyones of all ages. Also refers to the object of this infatuation. INFATUATION: when one has an idealized image of their target, and has "fallen in love" with this image that may actually have no relation to the real person. Regan made an acronym for Crush yesterday. Cruel Reality of Understanding that Shit Happens. Pretty much that is exactly what it is, wanting something you totally don't have and having it fucking hurt. two things that make me feel like it's not quite a crush...it's not exactly "short-lived". Also, not quite an infatuation...'image' is pretty much dead-on exactly him. so...i'm kind of fucked because i don't know where i'm at. oh well, at least i'm not alone at my little pity party. hehe. *enter enter - start new paragraph* I wrote a funny song yesterday, or maybe more a ditty (i'm not exactly sure what the difference is there), about love in a bunch of different cultures. let me explain... my group project in my Intimate Relationships class is on Love and Culture and/or religion/spirituality, so we're comparing the idea and act of love in different cultures and religions. while sitting in the library trying to research this with one of my groupmates,who we'll call jaryd because well, that's his name, i began throwing sentences together in rhyme (we were both getting a little fidgety) and then he started singing them. we ended up getting 'shhh-ed' so much that we left...and sadly he took the song with him so i can't even share it with you. but you can trust my word that it was funny...sort of.
