Johnny Cash is the greatest.

I talk to so many people here each day - and have probably talked to 1000+ in my 6 years in total - such that the sex of the person sometimes just isn't important. it's more about helping them.

I was being facetious. I enjoy twinkling's writing and the enthusiasm with which she attacks/defends arguments...

here's a nifty device:

- it's pretty accurate in most cases, but rather with the clean-cut, predictable stereotypical folks. Not so reliable with esp. the schizoid types. Like, 8 out of 10 of my own posts score as 'male' . (Also there was a male there whose nearly all posts scored as 'female'. Someone else's female sockpuppet scored consistently as 'female', shows they got literary talent. There's another member who cycles between his male & female persona, and his scores change accordingly.)

Oh......that's not mine. Sorry for that. I was feeling impatient (and a little sleepy), so I just linked to the nearest definition of "intellectual crush." To be honest, I've always been kind of creeped out by the idea of teachers and students crushing. My geek crush would be someone like Carl Zimmer or Steve Sillett. Whadaya think? Or Carl Sagan if he'd been younger, but I remember him as an old teacher, so...not exactly a "crush."

Zimmer once made a remark about how hard it is to find a woman who wants to date a man who studies parasites. He's married, though, so he must have been successful.

Oh, and I don't know your sexual orientation, so excuse me if I sound, uh...hetero-chauvinistic? That's a weird word. It doesn't sound like what it's supposed to mean, but then, neither does homophobia.

Where's Wooster? - I had a brief crush on her, but then we fought. Typical couple!

I must admit I didn't expect to develop a crush here at this time.. I would've expected it later than this to be honest but I guess the recent issues in my life hightened a few things and also saw me get past some other issues too
