I have this crush...a MAN crush. I recognize that being male is implied in my use of the word "crush", but this guy is a MAN, all dignified, in-charge. dare-I-say "older". He just has this aura of awe around him. The kind of beauty that makes you stutter when face-to-face and in conversation with him. He's a total crush-worthy specimen, and every day that I see him, I always think "dang it! why did I have to wear this to work today?!?!"
This morning, I woke up with that special feeling. I knew this would the one of those crush-days. He comes into my office to visit someone in the building, and inexplicably, I always know when the crush-day is a-coming. Its like i can feel his aura around me, ready to make an appearance.
So, this morning, when i got ready for work, I did it with extra care, being super precise. Just the right amount of eye shadow (too little: school marm, too much:trampy). Did my hair cute (or so said my roommate, the soon-to-be-licensed hairstylist and guru for all things chic in hair up-and-coming. I even made sure my toes were properly manicured (actually, this last one was him fortuitously catching me on the right day...i hadn't made it around to anxiously picking off my nail polish yet).
Throughout that entire morning, i kept waiting for him to arrive. (tivo reference: if this were on TV, i would've tivo'ed the whole interaction and I'd be watching it tomorrow, fast forwarding through the crazy boring parts of the anticipation).
Finally, around 1pm, he came. Dressed-down enough that its apparent he really knows how to dress 5up. Friendly laugh as he enters the building. Be still my beating heart! I guess he was in the office to visit someone and go out to lunch because minutes later, i see them leaving and the pass by my window for a small second of time.
Now, here's where i wish Tivo was something more than just for TV. As he walked past, i searched that left hand for something shinny or matted, anything that would signify a life-long vow to another lucky woman. But, what should happen? Did i see anything? No...i didn't. And, not for lack of trying. He apparently is also a gold-medal winner in the speed walking Olympics. He was in my line of sight for a total of 2 seconds, not nearly long enough to try to ascertain if he is a part of a pair.
Here's the kicker...I actually reached for a remote to press the skip back button, so that I could skip and pause. But, astonishingly enough, no button really does exist! Horror!
So, pretty much, I'm annoyed that Tivo can't diversify its market to human brains.
And, also, I found out toward the end of the day that he has a girlfriend. Damn.

First, I love your writing style. its just like how you talk - which, of course, I love.
Second, I totally wrote a blog about how DVR has ruined my life because I always reach for the skip back button and its no where to be found.
Third, make a move girl - what you waiting for?
