i'm ready to have a crush.

there is still too much new all around me for me to want to focus all my attention and neurosis on one person for real. i still have to make friends and figure out which way is east and what the diagonal streets are (i can now say for sure what a soft versus a hard turn is) and whether i am supposed to like the cubs or the sox or if it is really ok for me to not give a shit about either. so, no time or real desire to find the love of my life. i think it would short-change me in the long run and i'd wind up with half-formed friendships and a half-formed mental map of the city and a certain level of half-assedness about baseball (oh, wait, i already have that).

but a crush! how lovely are crushes? the agony of not wanting to see them and the anticipation of wanting to bump into them comingling! the joy of blowing trivial interactions grandly out of proportion! the fun of talking about them with your girlfriends! really, a wee bit of a crush is like...well, it's just great. so, if you know anyone who needs to be crushed, do let me know.
