Look, I'll make it easy, since the meme is going around again. Here's the people I had for secret crushes. So stop wondering. My criteria pretty loose, and it excludes a lot of disqualifying qualities. For example, you are married, you think I look like your brother, you are young, etc. I still put you on the list even if you would be disqualified for one reason or another. Basically, if circumstances were ideal, would I kiss you? So please don't take it as more than it is.

Since the meme is going around again, I'm updating the list:

These folks should already know cause I've told them, or asked them out, or they were on the original entry 3 years ago, or something like that: a_muse_d, amare, assassinpandora, betanoir, broken_teacup, burgunder, c_dawg, calimbrium, daemonwolf, daydream, dimenxia, drtydallas, dyann, efebruary, emmrldize, evillinn, faerieburst, hadaverde, insolent, jenny_i_read, kumimonster, lula_fortune, m_cobweb, magdalen93, malackey, mariquita, onlyjanica, psychik, raqsindira, rika_rayven, sirensanssmile, spacemage, squashcup, thevfrchick, turtlegrrl13, zanbaka.

The following people maybe didn't know I kinda liked 'em at least enough to kiss em, so here you go: aggrobat, bigdonkeyretard, butterbee, designmonkey_ko, dieszy, dreina, etyrniti, gargoylettelc, gothbitch, industrialvein, kaosqueen, la_roja, laurelfan, mercuryslavejq, missreagan, my_poison_apple, whatarewordsfor, skepticle, sunnnnnnnnnnny, whoronica.

I won't say it means nothing. But it doesn't mean much. So please don't be thinking I've been pining for you for years. Though, if you want to believe that, I suppose you have that right. And, as I wrote 3 years ago:

Now, let's see what kind of shitstorm this starts.
