Aw, crud

I just got "CrushLink"ed -- you know, that spam group pretending to get people together. Twice in a row, in fact, to two different e-mail addresses (one of them very old). Someone you know has a crush on you. YEAH RIGHT. The timing is pretty awful, given my personal life right now. There is not one person in the world who "has a crush on me", and anyway, most of my friends have the sense not to spam me.

One icky part is that they got my work address. My first spam at that address. Well, if I'm reading the handwriting on the wall correctly, I won't have that address much longer anyway.

I'm sorry

Their timing couldn't be much worse. That sucks. All spam does, but poorly timed spam is even worse.

As for the rest... Well, actually... *blush* I've always thought highly of you, admire your chutzpah for trying things that I wish I could do -- and I think you're pretty. I thought you were attractive from the moment I met you, but tamed those thoughts down... I was afraid I was coming on a bit too strong and it was unfair of me if you weren't interested.

Nowadays, I find that there are a number of folks I still find attractive and while I wouldn't have minded the concept of pursuing more with them if it were mutual -- I really can't say yes to additional romantic relationships at the moment.

I do hope, however, to get to know some people better and make friends with people I already know. FWIW, you're one of the people I wish I knew better. It's not like you are all that far away, either. =)

Yeah, the timing was kinda pessimal.

Wow, you're just back from Amsterdam, you're creating House Dreamland, and *I* have chutzpah? :-) I see you as someone who lives life to the fullest, not letting fear hold you back, and I admire that.

I hear ya. Knowing when to stop can be one of the tougher lessons, I think.

Thank you. It's good to have friends, and good to have people who may become better friends.
