4. I have told certain individuals in the past about how I felt .
Anyways , you never know how they feel about you until you tell them . Who knows they might like you too . And if they don't , the only thing you can do is listen to the radio as they play every song pertaining to your situation , cry and move on . ( but don't get violent , geez . )

9. well if you do what I do
That is, already know and have your crushes as someone who knows and likes you as a friend or whatever, then your chances of rejection go down, you can just say "Oh, thats fine" "We can just be friends", thats how Ive worked a lot of things out. Maybe I am just too much of a compromiser to get a date. I think though, entertaining someone, being helpful, and just being a nice person all around will really show well to the person.

10. WHEN I have a crush?
I have no crushes. 100% asexual. Life is sweet. More people should give celibacy a shot. In fact EVERYONE should give a celibacy a shot, and live out their declining libidos in extreme frustration or very exquisite agony

14. oh I show it...
It's not a good combination if you're clumsy..
Take today. I was studying organic chemistry in the Chem building when I run into my cute TA, Kennedy. Being the graceful (bahahahaha) chicka that I am, I wave hello while skipping up the stairs.
Fall. Flat. On. Face.
He grabs my waist and my shoes, paper, and text book go everywhere. But, I laughed at it and he looked amused :D
It's all good Kleeb. Ya gotta have no fear- if things go bad, just laugh. It's all good, doncha know!

If I hardly know the person, I try to keep it subtle. But I think I do show it a little. I bet people could tell I show it at least a little based on how open I am about my celeb crushes (of which MTV VJ and actress Hilarie Burton is my newest one - will update my list when someone creates a board for celeb crushes.)

34. I'm probably not very subtle
A few years ago, I had a crush on this one female co-worker at my job.

One day I was assigned the task of preparing a laptop for her to use since she was going on the road with it. As a prank, I rigged the computer so that every time she started it, instead of the usual standard Windows greeting sound, it would play a sound file snippet of Billy Ray Cyrus's "Achy Breaky Heart."

Then, later, I called her extension up one day and then played over the phone for her Barney's "I Love You" song to annoy her.

I grin like an idiot, and act really shy. It's a problem. :)
