 what the hell did he see in me?  it was kind of nice to see so many declarations of unflagging love.  then i skipped to the end and saw all the hateful, angry words he threw at me across cyberspace&#8230;<br \/>\nit doesn&#8217;t upset me to read, exactly.  mostly, it makes me feel old and tired and very, very sad.  both for him and myself.  i didn&#8217;t do things right by him, i freely admit that.  i didn&#8217;t know how to say &#8220;i like you, enjoy spending time with you, but there&#8217;s just not that <em>something<\/em> i need to make it serious, permanent.&#8221;<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s what annoys me so much about people and emotion.  why is it that one person can feel <em>so much<\/em> for someone yet not have it returned?  isn&#8217;t that just cruel?  you shouldn&#8217;t be attracted to people who aren&#8217;t attracted to you right back.  it would solve so many headaches!  well, at least mine.<br \/>\nconfession:  i was actually working on two crushes.<br \/>\nboth are boys i&#8217;ve known for a long time.  one is someone i&#8217;d never really considered crushing on for many reasons, mostly because i just hadn&#8217;t spent that much time talking to him and didn&#8217;t really know if there was that possibility.   the other is a return crushee.  he&#8217;s the person with which i feel completely myself.  there&#8217;s no pretension or worries about what he&#8217;s thinking when we hang. it&#8217;s so nice and casual, that&#8217;s probably why whenever we do hang i spend the wake bobbing in choppy emotional water.<br \/>\nneither of them are going to amount to anything, i&#8217;m sure.  they&#8217;re just current examples of my being attracted to boys who don&#8217;t quite like me back enough to take that extra step past casual whatever to &#8220;gotta see you again or i might explode&#8221;.<br \/>\nsorry, i didn&#8217;t mean this to turn into a woe is me post.  it&#8217;s just a dump of all the things i&#8217;ve been thinking this week.  it&#8217;s better out than in, my mom always said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>it&#8217;s 8:45 and i just got out of bed. i&#8217;m sitting here in my underpants, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, waiting for the kettle to boil and bring me some coffee. unfortunately, the kettle hasn&#8217;t actually been trained to bring me coffee, but i&#8217;m half asleep. i&#8217;m allowed to dream. i spent some post-vodka <span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span> <span class=\"more-link-wrap\"><a href=\"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/crushedless\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span>Read More &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-photos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2168\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
